"Mr. Hawthorne, aren't you planting soybeans today?" Tang Xiaonan asked with a grin.
She remembered Adrian Hawthorne saying he was going to stay home and plant soybeans today.
"The ground is too wet to hoe. I'll plant them when it dries out." Adrian Hawthorne couldn't resist tugging on Tang Xiaonan's braid. It had practically become a reflex lately; whenever he saw the chubby girl, he felt the urge to give it a pull. 'It's surprisingly fun.'
Tang Xiaonan huffily turned her head away and rolled her eyes. 'He's just like Jim Thorne and his brothers, always pulling my hair or pinching my cheeks. It's so annoying!'
The corner of Adrian Hawthorne's mouth twitched into a smirk, and he gave her braid another tug. Seeing that she was about to get genuinely angry, he finally relented, picking Tang Xiaonan up and setting her on the bicycle's crossbar. "I'll take you to school. It's on my way."
