Ji Hen returned to his room, listless, and Qingdai had no choice but to take down the things that the palace maid had prepared. Zhao Changyuan still held Gong Yueyue, his chin resting lightly on Gong Yueyue's head.
Do you know? I once thought that if there was no way to save your life, then I would drop everything and follow you. But I just realized that there are so many people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for you!
Xiangling's steps were very fast, and she seemed a little anxious. She originally wanted to buy something that her brother liked to eat, but it was already night and there was nothing for sale. Her home was not far away. Xiangling quickly stood at her door.
In front of the dilapidated wooden door, a few candlelights occasionally showed through the cracks. Xiangling stayed in front of the door. Suddenly she didn't know how to face her family. Tears flowed down unsatisfactoryly. She wiped the tears away and Xiangling shouted loudly.
Knocking on the door, for a moment, the door was opened. A woman in blue cloth opened the door. When she saw Xiang Ling, she was surprised at first, then she laughed. She quickly took Xiang Ling's hand and walked in, closing the door again.
good.
"Mom, did daddy and brother sleep?" Xiangling asked with a smile.
"Not yet! Your father is teaching his younger brother how to read. By the way, Xiangling, why are you back so late?" The woman asked with a smile on her face.
"I missed you, so I'm back." Xiang Ling lowered her head slightly and said.
"A few days ago, I heard from your father that Princess Xianle was ill. Aren't you serving the princess? Did anything happen? Or the emperor blamed you for not serving her well and asked you to come back!" The woman paused and said,
asked softly.
"What's the matter! Mom, please stop thinking about it, the princess is so kind to me!" Xiang Ling turned away her eyes and said with a smile.
"Well, that's good!" The woman nodded with relief. The two of them walked inside. Although the house was very dilapidated, it was very clean.
"Who is here?" Before he walked inside, a voice came.
"Dad, I'm back!" Xiangling opened the curtain of the back room and said with a smile.
"Xiang Ling, why are you back so late? Come and sit down quickly!" the middle-aged man sitting on the bed called quickly.
"Sister!" The little boy sitting next to the bed stretched out his hand and shouted happily.
"Dongdong, are you good at home?" Xiangling picked up Dongdong and sat on the bed.
"Yeah! Dongdong is very good."
"Sister, I will buy you something delicious tomorrow!"
"Okay!" Dongdong danced happily.
There was a small low table placed on the bed. Xiang Ling knew that this was specially used for her father. When he was young, his father knew a lot of words and his knowledge was taught by his father. Xiang Ling looked at the rough paper on the table and said,
I wrote a few words crookedly.
"Father, mother, sister, Dongdong." Xiangling read out slowly.
"Sister, this is written by Dongdong!" Dongdong said proudly.
"Yeah! It's so well written!" Xiang Ling concealed all the emotions in her heart and said with a smile.
"Dongdong is a very smart kid. Whatever your father teaches him, he can master it once!" The woman sat on the wooden bench next to her.
"Yes! As smart as you were when you were a kid!" the middle-aged man echoed with a smile.
"That's good. Dongdong will definitely be a good sister in the future!" Xiangling said with a smile.
"Dad said, Dongdong will be the top scholar when he grows up!" Dongdong said seriously with a small face.
"Wow! That's so awesome! Dongdong is five years old now, so he has to study hard and get the top score in the exam, and his father and mother will be able to enjoy the blessings!" Xiangling looked at her younger brother in her arms. Although she was smiling, her tone was very serious.
"Aren't mom and dad enjoying your blessings now?!" the woman said with a chuckle.
Xiangling didn't say anything, she just hugged Dongdong and gave him a few kisses on his little face. Dongdong smiled happily when she kissed him. The middle-aged man and woman also laughed when they saw this scene.
Xiangling looked at the happy scene in front of her and felt a little sad.
Dad, Mom, please don’t blame your daughter for her choice. Dongdong will definitely honor you on her daughter’s behalf in the future. What your daughter owes you, she will pay you back in her next life!
Xiang Ling glanced at the kitchen. Her mother was lighting the fire to make breakfast. Xiang Ling took things into the room. Her father was reading an old book. Xiang Ling walked over with a smile.
"Dad, how many times have you read this book?"
"Isn't this the only book at home? I can't do anything on weekdays, so I can only read this book over and over again." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Dad, I bought you some medicinal materials and... books!" Xiang Ling took out the wrapped book and put it in front of the middle-aged man with a smile.
"Thank you, my good daughter!" The middle-aged man said with surprise: "This way, I don't have to read this old book over and over again."
"I've wanted to buy it for dad for a long time, but... I've always thought about it too much." Xiang Ling apologized slightly.
"Xiang Ling, what happened to you?" The middle-aged man felt that something was wrong with his daughter.
"No way! I want to be nice to dad!"
"Okay, okay!" The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face.
"By the way, I also bought something for my mother. I'll go get it for her!" Xiangling changed the topic, picked up the things on the table and went to the kitchen. The middle-aged man looked at his daughter's leaving back and fell into deep thought.
Xiang Ling walked to the door of the kitchen and looked at the woman's busy figure, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of her mouth.
"Mother." Xiangling put away her thoughts and called.
The woman heard her daughter's voice and looked over with a smile: "Are you hungry? The food will be ready soon!"
Xiangling shook her head slightly: "Mom, I bought something for you, please take a look!"
"Why are you wasting your money to buy me something?" The woman wiped her hands, her tone slightly reproachful.
"Mom, you have worked hard for so many years, but I have never seen you buy anything for yourself. My daughter wants to buy it for you!" Xiangling said as she took out the wooden hairpin, walked behind the woman, and gently took her arm
He put the hairpin in the man's scattered hair, turned to the woman again, and looked at it carefully: "It's so beautiful!"
"Xiang Ling..." Seeing her daughter smiling happily, the woman lowered her head and smiled slightly.
"Mom, when you are tired, take more rest on weekdays. Don't always work non-stop." Xiangling held the woman's scarred hand and said distressedly.
"Mom is fine! Dongdong is still young now, and your father's legs and feet are inconvenient. Mom can't rely on you alone, you are still so young!" The woman's eyes were a little red, and she said slowly.
Xiangling said nothing, lowered her head slightly, and tried hard to hold back her tears.
Can't cry, can't cry!
Mom, I really have to rely on you to support this family from now on. I'm sorry!
"Okay! Don't talk about these sad things, go and get ready, we will eat soon!" The woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her lips and smiled.
"Yeah!" Xiangling nodded, took the bowls and chopsticks and went to the room. Because of her father, she always ate in the room: "Dad, we will eat soon. Let's watch after eating!"
"Okay, I've finished reading this page!" the middle-aged man responded, but kept looking at the book. Xiangling smiled helplessly and walked out of the room. She saw Dongdong looking at the thousand-layer cake she bought for him in the courtyard.
But he didn't eat. Xiangling walked over curiously and squatted next to Dongdong: "Dongdong, why don't you eat?"
"Sister, I can't bear to eat it. If I eat it now, I won't have it tomorrow!" Dongdong said with his little face in his hands and a pout. (To be continued)
