There is a field in front of me and a few brick houses behind me.

There is wine on the table and a plate full of meat noodles.

There are dogs outside the courtyard, and fish are floating in the fish pond in the backyard.

Pregnant as a child, laughing endlessly.

Everyone is laughing, as if the Zhu family at this moment is not a royal family, but an ordinary well-to-do family, where four generations live together in a happy family.

"This guy actually brings all his troubles to himself!"

The old man held Xiao Fu'er in his arms and said with a smile, "Especially those scholars who are suffering from the plague, how miserable the wind and rain are all day long, how unpredictable things are, what a fucking sigh!"

"A person who is free from illness and calamity means he is born blessed. Having enough food and clothing means he is enjoying all the happiness in the world." The old man continued to laugh, "To moan all day long for no reason, bah! Grandson, let me tell you, those people who moan for no reason will be damned.

He'll be full. If you put him in a poor house and starve him for a few days, he'll be sure to have nothing wrong with him."

"Haha!" Zhu Yunxi chuckled.

Liujin stood on tiptoe, "Ancestor, you are right, the teaching bachelor also said so!"

"Oh, what did he say?" The old man lowered his head and asked with a smile.

"The bachelor told his grandson, what is ordinary and extraordinary in life? Parents are here, the hall is peaceful, the brothers are respectful, the wife is virtuous, and the children are filial. Even if the family is poor and has a simple diet, it is both ordinary and extraordinary."

"The bachelor also said that people are ordinary. Most people are born to be busy all their lives in food, clothing, housing and transportation, or even busy all their lives but doing nothing. But living in peace, having a family and doing innocent things is extraordinary!"

The old man thought for a moment, "Do you understand what the bachelor said?"

"My grandson doesn't understand a little, but he also understands a little!" Liu Jin grabbed the bun and laughed, "People are content with what they have and live every day seriously. Don't aim too high. Living a down-to-earth life is the right way!"

"Hey, our eldest grandson is right!" The old man laughed heartily, hugged Liu Jin's forehead and kissed him, then looked at Zhu Yunxi, "This kid is better than you!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at Liu Jin with a bit of relief in his eyes.

He is a prince, but he is also a child. To be precise, he is also a human being among all living beings.

He was a talent first, then a prince and then an emperor.

For no reason, Zhu Yunxi thought of his past life.

Although it was a bit hard, the life was passable. It was tiring outside, but there was always a hot meal at home, and there were always people who cared about him. And that home and his relatives were the motivation for him to grit his teeth and fight hard.

Involuntarily, he suddenly thought of an essay he wrote when he was a child, "My Ideal".

To this day, he still remembers how he wrote that essay.

"Teacher, please don't let me talk about my ideal anymore, because I think it is so far away that I can't see or touch it."

"Teacher, please don't ask me about my ideal again, because I know it is impossible to realize it."

"You said that ideal is the future, but as for the future, I just want to live a simpler life."

"Grow up slowly, grow up healthy and happy without letting your parents worry about you, be an honest and trustworthy person who doesn't do bad things, and be an optimistic, generous and cheerful person."

"Growing up quietly, from a boy to a man, turning the pimples on my face into a black and stiff beard. Then, I moved the burden of the family from my parents' shoulders to my own shoulders, and put my ordinary and ordinary

Carrying up the family."

"Work hard, be diligent and frugal, watch your parents grow older day by day, and take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation, just like they took care of me when I was a child."

"Perhaps some people with great ambitions think that my life is too ordinary and the same. But isn't our human world made up of countless such ordinary families? Aren't our human emotions also composed of countless such ordinary families?

Is it produced in the inheritance?"

"If you really want to ask me about my ideal, it is to be ordinary and safe at the same time!" ωωw.

Next to him, the hearty voice of the old man continued, "Your ancestors, our biggest wish since we were young is to have enough food to eat. We don't dare to expect chicken, duck or fish, just lard mixed with rice."

It feels like a magical day."

"Now my father is better than a god!" Xiao Fu'er hugged the old man's neck and laughed.

"Yes, our daughter is right. Gods, we are all gods now, haha!" The old man laughed.

"That's not right!" Suddenly, Liujin put down the bun in his hand, and while holding the old man's arm, he looked at him, "Ancestor, what you said is wrong!" He said with some confusion in his eyes, "The bachelor said that after death,

Only then can one become a god..."

"Six pounds..." Zhao Ning'er exclaimed.

"It's okay!" The old man smiled and waved, then looked at Liu Jin seriously, "You are right, people can become gods only after they die. After your ancestor dies, he will go to heaven, and then your ancestor will be in heaven.

Looking at you..." The old man looked around and looked at the children, "Looking at you, growing up well and peacefully. Watching you not getting sick, getting married and starting a business..."

"Father, I don't want you to die!" Xiao Fu'er cried with a cry.

She hugged the old man's neck tightly and bounced around with her little feet, "I don't want you to die! I don't want you to die! I want you to stay with me."

They are children, but they also understand what death is!

"My dear! If you don't die, we won't die, that's what we say! Oh my dear, your father's heart will be broken when you shed tears, please stop crying, dear!"

The child is crying and the old man is laughing.

Zhu Yunxi, on the other hand, lowered his head, clenched his clothes with both hands, and tried his best to control his inner emotions.

Suddenly, the old man frowned and looked not far away, and said, "Grandson, what are those things doing there? Have you been busy talking for a long time?"

Zhu Yunxi raised his head with a smile on his face, "That's the painter my grandson called just now!"

As he said that, he filled the old man's glass with wine.

"It's rare for our family to have such a complete meal, so my grandson wanted to have this scene painted so that he can wait for the future..."

Before Zhu Yunxi could finish speaking, the old man smiled and said, "Yes, when we are gone in the future, the children can take it out and look at it when they miss us!" After that, he lowered his head and pricked Xiao Fu'er's childish smile with his beard, "We

My good daughter, don’t forget your father’s face!”

"Giggle, giggle!" Xiao Fu'er struggled to laugh, but his arms held him tighter.

"Lao Pu, Lao Pu!" the old man shouted several times.

Pu Bucheng was squatting aside and didn't know what he was doing. Hearing this, he ran over and said, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"

"Go and take a look and see if those things look like the paintings." The old man said again, "If they look like the paintings, everyone will be rewarded with a bowl of stew. If they don't look like the paintings, hehe..."

Pu Bucheng thought about it, "Chop off your hands?"

The old man curled his lips, "Yeah, sure!"

Their conversation was so loud that the painters in the distance could really hear it.

They were already frightened, and suddenly their arms and legs became even more unsteady, and they were almost paralyzed with fear.

"What a coward!" Pu Bucheng cursed, "Your Majesty is happy to tease you!" After saying that, he walked to the side of the painter and looked at the two-meter-long scroll.

"How does it look, doesn't it look like?" the old man shouted.

"Like, your face is drawn to be a bit long!"

"Father, that's a beard..." a painter said tremblingly.

"Oh, beard!" Pu Bucheng touched his bald chin, then flew up with a kick, knocking the painter over, "Why did you include the miscellaneous family in the painting?"

Hearing this, the old man and Zhu Yunxi stood up at the same time and walked to the scroll with several children.

The outline of their family has already taken shape, and they just need the next step of polishing.

In the scroll, a family is talking and laughing under the sunset, and their expressions are lifelike and lifelike.

In the corner of the scroll, a little orange cat showed a lazy half of its face. Pu Bucheng squatted in front of the cat, smiling and stretching out his hand...

"Just paint!" The old man nodded, "It's not a big deal!"

"This servant dare not be with the two emperors and the prince..."

"It's okay!" The old man patted him on the shoulder, "You have worked hard with us all your life, this is our reward!"
