Zhang Fu took the blame and was forgiven by Li Shimian and Ma.
Li Xinrou is gone, and there is no point in pursuing her further. The two grandsons still rely on this father. The old couple do not want to antagonize this son-in-law.
Although Nian'er is the eldest son, this position is not static, and Zhang Fu is not limited to this pair of children.
"My husband and I have nothing more to ask for. I just hope that you will take more care of the two children Rou'er left behind so that she can be reincarnated with peace of mind and not let her worry about them." Ma ordered with a choked sob.
Zhang Fu and his son spent two days with the two old men on Zhuangzi, talking endlessly. Unfortunately, there were many things going on in the capital, so Zhang Fu only took the time to come.
Hearing the instructions, he nodded in response: "Don't worry, father-in-law and mother-in-law, they are my flesh and blood. My son-in-law regards his life as his own. My son-in-law is a good person. He has a son-in-law to take care of my daughter. Don't worry about her. Nian'er is now grown up and sensible.
If he can stand alone, his son-in-law will also guide him and teach him to become a talent. As for his marriage, his parents-in-law will also help take care of it."
Huo Nian's face was slightly shy when he heard about his marriage.
Seeing that her grandson was shy, Mr. Ma smiled and said, "We Nian'er is such a talented person, why are we afraid that we won't find anyone we like?"
Then he looked at Zhang Fu and said, "You can help him pick it up. He has to find someone he likes. When the introduction comes, let me and my wife know in the letter, and we will also help him go through the details."
"Yes. My son-in-law has remembered it."
Everyone said goodbye at the small dock in Zhuangzi.
Zhang Fu saluted Li Shimian and Ma, and then handed over his hands to Li Dian and Li Dianzang's brothers, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are busy, and my two uncles are looking after me. If anything happens, please send someone to report quickly, so that I can feel at ease."
"
Li Dian nodded: "Don't worry, you are busy with your business. If you have time, you can bring Nian'er to see them."
"must."
At the stern of the boat, the father and son saw that Li Shimian, Ma Shi and others were still standing on the pier, waving goodbye to them. Huo Xi couldn't help but press the corners of his eyes.
Zhang Fu felt a little sad when he saw it.
"When you were a child, you loved to pester your mother and take you to your maternal grandfather's house to play with your cousins. You played with several of your cousins in your maternal grandfather's library and destroyed your maternal grandfather's beloved book collection. You
My grandfather didn’t even have the heart to say a word to you..."
It would be great if your mother was still alive and the family was happy.
Turning around, he saw his son comforting his daughter and sighed. The son had no memory of his mother, so he didn't know how much his mother was looking forward to his birth...
"Nian'er's painting now looks very similar to your mother. When your grandparents saw her, they all said they seemed to see your mother standing in the painting."
"Really? Does Father think it's the same?" Huo Nian was very happy and asked Zhang Fu.
He had no memory. He only relied on his father's paintings, the memories of his sister, his father, and his grandparents, and the imaginary drawing of his mother. He felt a little regretful in his heart. If only he, like his sister, had remembered his mother when he was a child.
Huo Xi smiled and nodded: "It looks like a painting. The one you brought was left behind by my grandmother. When I return home, I have to paint another one for my sister."
"Okay!" Huo Nian responded loudly. He was very happy.
Zhang Fu looked at a pair of children biting their ears and smiled, feeling a little regretful in his heart.
She suppressed her emotions and said to Huo Xi, "You have arranged your grandfather's family well. Seeing that their life has returned to normal, my father feels a lot more relaxed."
For more than ten years, a huge boulder weighed heavily on Zhang Fu's chest.
Now my eldest brother-in-law has found something he likes to do in Ningbo. He often interacts with other people. The family is more prosperous and there are more smiles on his face. The second brother-in-law has opened a small private school in Zhuangzi. He is very knowledgeable and the teaching is interesting.
, people from far away are happy to send their children here to study.
My father-in-law also really devoted himself to researching ways to increase crop yields and devoted himself to compiling agricultural books.
From time to time, he would go to the countryside to talk to old farmers and ask for advice, and he would also teach farmers how to take care of their crops. He was loved and respected by the people in the nearby villages, and they all knew that there was an old man on the farm teaching people how to grow crops.
The female relatives in the family raised silkworms, planted flax, opened a weaving workshop, and worked as female workers. Everyone had something to do and adapted well to Jiangnan.
Zhang Fu felt much more relaxed.
"Before, your uncle and cousins had to do hard labor every day, and my father was always worried that their health would not be able to bear it. Now that they have taken good care of themselves and are living happily in the village, my father can finally feel relieved.
"
Even if he could see his Rou'er in his dream, he felt ashamed to see her.
"Now this is considered a favor from the emperor. The three generations of the Li family cannot take the imperial examination and live a rural life like this. Although it is lighter, it is still comfortable. I only hope that my grandparents are in good health and that Nian'er and I can fulfill our filial piety for a few more years.
Sheng'er, Xi'er and the others will grow up in the blink of an eye, and they will have to rely on Nian'er to take care of them in the future."
"Don't worry, sister, Nian'er will remember it."
"In addition to remembering, you must also strengthen yourself so that you can provide comfort to the younger generations of your grandfather's family and your sister." Zhang Fu said sincerely.
"Yes, my child has remembered it."
From then on, Zhang Fu would visit him every now and then, during the holidays, and whenever he had time, he would visit and chat with Lord Taishan Taishui. He would also roll up his trousers and go to the ground with Li Shimian, twisting twine and picking silkworm leaves to feed the silkworms.
Mrs. Wang later followed Zhang Fu for a trip and was finally able to face her mistakes.
Li Shimian and Ma also chose to forgive.
When Huo Xi heard about it, she was very emotional. Although she often returned to the British government, she joked with the wife on the surface and ate and chatted with her as usual, but her heart was always with her. However, her maternal grandparents chose to forgive her.
In her letter to Mu Yan, Huo Xi couldn't help but talk about it.
Mu Yan wrote back and said that her maternal grandparents were people of great wisdom and that it was useless to dwell on the past. Living people still have to look forward. In the letter, he hoped that she would go to Yunnan to reunite with him as soon as possible.
"Mom, is the concierge lazy?" Xiao Yuer asked Huo Xi one night, tilting his head in confusion.
Huo Xi played games with her son on the bed, feeling a little strange, "How did Xiao Yu'er know they were lazy?"
"Because Mom hasn't gone out for several days."
Huh? "Why didn't Mom go out? Is the concierge lazy?"
"It must be that they didn't send the greeting card to Mom. Mom didn't see the greeting card, so she didn't go out." Xiao Yu'er said firmly.
Mom is so strange, she has been with him at home for several days. He sees her when he gets up in the morning, sees her during the day, and sees her at night. He eats several times a day, and she always eats with her.
"Mom, you used to be away a lot during the day. Isn't anyone inviting me out to dinner anymore?"
Huo Xi couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, no one invites my mother out for tea and wine anymore. Don't they like me anymore?"
"Little Yu'er likes Mom! Xiao Yu'er stays with Mom!"
"Wow, our little Yu'er is really a good son for mother. Your father can't accompany mother, but there is still little Yu'er to accompany mother. It's great!"
Xiao Yu'er was a little proud, and he puffed up his chest: "Mom, don't be afraid. Dad is not here, and Xiao Yu'er is here."
When his father left, he told him that he was not here and asked him to spend more time with his mother. Xiao Yuer even remembered it.
Huo Xi felt extremely uncomfortable when she looked at her son who looked sensible and well-behaved.
Finally, I can understand the feeling that people say you can't have your cake and eat it too.
