The three of them chatted casually about their children, and Xiao Jing also took advantage of this time to catch a few fat fish.
Seeing Xiao Jing drop the fish hook absentmindedly, Xia Hanxue couldn't help but chuckle and said: "My husband's cooking skills have improved a lot in the past two years, and the whole family loves to eat what you cook. Especially the fish soup,
The taste is extremely delicious...it's just a pity that girls Xiaoya and Shanshan can't always be by your husband's side, so they lose a lot of delicious food."
Only then did Xiao Jing come back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "I really can't hide anything from Xue'er. There has been no letter from the grassland for two months, and there has been no news from Xiaoya recently. I am really worried about her."
Xia Hanxue comforted her softly: "The return date is not far away. She and I must be on the road and will meet her husband in a few days. Xiaoya travels across the country for the development of the newspaper group.
Sister Shanshan is trying to make Beihu return to his heart completely. They are doing big things, so they can only put aside their love for their children for the time being."
Xiao Jing couldn't help sighing - of course he knew that what those two people did was very important, but as he grew older and his children left home, he began to hate the kind of life where there were fewer people together and more separation.
I hope my family can gain some popularity, even if it’s just staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes every day.
However, the women around him still have their own pursuits and ambitions as they did twenty years ago. All Xiao Jing can do is respect their choices.
In the past fifteen years, the entire grassland has undergone earth-shaking changes.
If people from inland areas have the opportunity to set foot on the grasslands, they will be surprised to find that the people here are no different from the people in other parts of Darui: the younger generation can communicate with Darui people in fluent Central Plains Mandarin, and some
More and more Beihu people are beginning to switch from nomadic herding to farming, and this trend becomes more obvious the closer they are to Dali.
Of course, there are still some people who insist on their herding tradition, but these people also continue to engage in their familiar jobs in order to trade goods with Dali, so that they can later exchange livestock products for generous returns from the farms.
Therefore, except for the fact that there are no official posts, many places in Beihu have actually become the territory of Da Rui.
There is also a small group of Beihu people who do not want to be ruled by Dali and have migrated to Mobei. Although they still go south to harass from time to time, to Dali today, this threat is about the same as being bitten by a mosquito.
The reason why Lu Shanshan chose to stay in the grassland for half of the year was to help her son, who had become the leader of the tribe, secure his position.
The girl in white who looked gentle but had a strong bow was still galloping on the grassland with great passion, and her son, who was particularly favored by Shaoning, has become the only Beihu person on the grassland who has been awarded the title of king.
In time, he will definitely become Darui's spokesperson in Beihu, and even the first grassland governor appointed by Darui in history - many people know that he is actually a genuine Darui man by blood, and some people
We know that he is actually the descendant of a certain father-in-law in Darui, but no one will expose this.
As for Dong Xiaoya, the mature Dong Huaiyuan is no longer the reason for her hard work. She chooses this kind of life just for her beloved career.
The Mirror back then has now become a newspaper group with deep roots. Dong Huaiyuan has the ability to control the overall situation, but there are always things that need coordination and overall planning within the group, so Dong Xiaoya happily took over the role.
In the past few years, she has traveled to almost every place in Dali and made great contributions to the development of the newspaper group. Although Xiaoya misses the warmth of home, she is a woman who loves journalism even more.
For this career, she could even leave her children to Xia Hanxue to take care of her. She would be gone for a month or two, and then rush back to her children at starry night.
Once Xiao Jing talked about how her children missed their mother when she was away, Xiaoya said with red eyes: "I know I have treated my children badly, but these things have to be done, and someone needs to do it. I'll stay here for two years."
Everything has been arranged, and I will stay with the child every day. Now I have to worry about you and Sister Xueer..."
Although Xiao Jing was also very reluctant to give up, every time he saw Xiaoya's focused expression when she was busy and the confidence and vitality exuding from her every move, he would still smile with relief and then personally send this woman with dreams away.
Get on the carriage for a long journey.
"Xue'er, thanks to you for taking care of this family." Xiao Jing, who raised the fishing rod again but found that no fish took the bait, said sheepishly: "I have been used to being idle these years. Not only did I leave behind the newspaper office, but I also took care of the family.
Don't let me go, shopkeeper... No matter whether you are running the house, disciplining the children, or welcoming the children, you are the one who takes care of them. I owe you a lot as a husband."
Suddenly hearing such emotional words, Xia Hanxue couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. However, she quickly smiled and said: "Where did your husband come from? Husband and wife are one. In the first half of your life, you worked hard for the world and went through life and death several times.
, I have spent almost all my efforts to change the appearance of Da Rui. Now it is time to enjoy peace and happiness. Da Rui certainly needs heroes like you, but there are tens of millions of people with aspirations in the world. Why do you want my husband and my children?
Should the father bear all this alone?
As the eldest wife of the family, I must take good care of the entire Xiao family. I must not disgrace your reputation. These are just the things I should do.
On the day I married into the Xiao family, I said: If you spread your wings and soar, my body will turn into a white body dancing in the sky; if you lower your head and lie down, my body will turn into a breeze and linger around you. Now that my husband finally has some free time,
There is no need to worry about those military and national affairs all day and night. I am only secretly happy in my body and mind, and I am not at all unwilling to work hard.
Besides, most of the wives from other families are "repenting of their husbands and looking for a title", but the husband of the concubine earned a duke on his own, and then he was able to retire and spend the whole day with his family... I am lucky to be accompanied by such a beloved man in this life.
,What else do I want from you?"
At the end of the story, the charming Xia Hanxue regained some of her playful looks as a girl. Xiao Jing seemed to have seen the person in the painting again in a trance, who was like a banished immortal and made his heart skip a few beats.
Every word of these words hit Xiao Jing's heart, and the tenderness almost overflowed from the words. Xiao Jing, whose chest felt hot, suddenly wanted to hold her in his arms, but thinking about the fact that there were still people around him
Others had no choice but to lower their heads and cough to hide their expressions.
"Let's talk. I still have some things to do, so I'm going back to write."
Qin Ziqian gave Xiao Jing a meaningful roll of his eyes and blew the bamboo whistle at his mouth.
Not long after, a small boat approached the tented boat that everyone was riding on.
