Seeing Ah Bao struggling to step on the slippery ground and climbing up the mountain bit by bit, Li Huang wanted to reach out his hand several times, but was held tightly by Chu Yiqing.
"Yiqing, will it be too hard for Abao like this?" Although his childhood was a thousand or ten thousand times harder than this, Li Huang still couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you let me..."
Chu Yiqing suddenly raised her hand to cover his lips and shook her head, "We can't protect Abao for a lifetime. Sometimes, he has to walk some roads by himself!"
Li Huang took Chu Yiqing's hand, held it tightly, nodded, and walked behind Abao with Chu Yiqing to prevent him from slipping and slipping.
Li Huang and Chu Yiqing were filled with heartache, but A Bao was very happy because he preferred running in the mountains with his father and mother than running in the mountains with Ade. Moreover, he was not tired at all and could also take the opportunity to run in the mountains.
Snowball fight!
"Mom, be careful!" Abao suddenly turned around, threw his little hand, and threw a small snowball towards Chu Yiqing. Chu Yiqing deliberately did not dodge and let the small snowball fall on him.
, then leaned over and grabbed a handful of snow, and while holding it into a snowball, he shouted: "Abao, you have to be careful, mother is going to throw you away!"
"Dad, help Ah Bao!" Ah Bao smiled and rolled his eyes, running forward quickly, avoiding carefully, and calling to the allies.
"Okay, daddy and Ah Bao are together!" Ah Bao's play with Chu Yiqing temporarily relieved Li Huang's heartache. He also bent over and grabbed a handful of snow and started a snowball fight with Chu Yiqing.
"Okay, you two actually teamed up to bully me!" Chu Yiqing yelled, shooting a snowball left and right in each hand, but as soon as he threw it out, he was hit on the face, but it was gentle and didn't hurt at all.
"Mom, come after us, come quickly!" A Bao was even more happy when he saw that he and Li Huang had the upper hand. He shouted, let go and ran towards the mountain.
Li Huang pretended to throw the snowball while protecting him from behind. The family of three performed Qinggong and quickly reached the top of the mountain.
From the top of the mountain, looking out into the vast expanse of white below, smoke curled up from the Shangjia Village at the foot of the mountain, and the three of them couldn't help but feel hungry.
"Mom, did you bring beef jerky?" Abao turned around and asked.
Chu Yiqing nodded, took out a piece of oilcloth from the backpack she was carrying behind her, spread it on the ground, and then took out some food. Because the weather was too cold, usually, she would only ask Ade to bring some beef jerky, which he could do at any time.
She added energy to Abao everywhere. Today because she was with Li Huang, she specially brought some instant noodles. She also brought an earthen pot and a pair of chopsticks. She found some dry branches, lit them with flints and held them.
There is some snow inside, boil it and eat it underneath.
After a while, the noodles in the pot will loosen up and emit an attractive aroma.
"Mom, it's really delicious!" Abao also likes to eat this kind of instant noodles on weekdays, but Chu Yiqing said it was fried and couldn't let him eat more. This time he finally had the chance to eat it, so he endured it.
I couldn't help but peek inside from time to time.
"It does smell very good. What is this? Why haven't I eaten it before?" Li Huang said, slapping his nose with his hand.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "This is called instant noodles. It is a food specially prepared for boatmen who sail for too long at sea. First fry the noodles and add seasonings when cooking the noodles. It can be stored for half a month.
It tastes good too!”
"Speaking of matters at sea, I have handed over Jiangyun to Lan Yi. If possible, I really hope to completely expel Lan Yi from Li Country!" Li Huang whispered.
"Lan Yi has been lurking in the Li Kingdom for so many years. His power should not be underestimated. It is not possible to drive him out overnight. The most important thing is that he is now in power and controls the docks of the Luo Kingdom. We cannot act too hastily!" Chu Yiqing said.
He said while stirring the noodles with chopsticks.
"Have you checked those twelve ships? Lan Yi is a very cunning person, I'm afraid he won't give in so easily!" Li Huang said with a dark look in his eyes.
"There is nothing wrong with the ship, it's just that the crew members are all his. I'm thinking of a solution now!" Chu Yiqing said, the noodles were also cooked, and before she could speak, Li Huang and Abao came up to her, all looking at her.
Opening his mouth, he looked like two little birds waiting for food. Chu Yiqing had no choice but to pick up a chopstick. The cold wind blew it away, so he first put it in A Bao's mouth, and then picked up another chopstick.
Put it in Li Huang's mouth.
"It's delicious!" Abao sucked Slim into his mouth with a squeak, then looked back at Li Huang and asked, "Dad, is it delicious?"
Li Huang's mouth was full of fragrance after eating, and the smile on his lips became deeper. The mountain wind suddenly picked up and ruffled his black hair, but the smile on his lips became more wild and charming.
He turned his eyes and stared at Chu Yiqing, and whispered: "My mother's cooking is naturally the most delicious!"
Chu Yiqing's heart moved, and his earlobes felt a little warm. He quickly lowered his head, picked up a chopstick and put it in Abao's mouth again.
"I want it too!" Li Huang came forward, squinting his eyes slightly and twitching his red lips. It didn't look like he was asking for noodles, but more like...
Chu Yiqing quickly lowered his eyes, feeling that he was having random thoughts. He took a chopstick and stuffed the noodles into Li Huang's mouth, but heard a muffled groan, followed by Abao's laughter, "Mother,
You stuffed it into Daddy's nose!"
Chu Yiqing was so embarrassed that he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him. Li Huang just held his face high and let her wipe it.
Abao looked on from the side and said suddenly: "Mother, father, why don't you get married?"
Li Huang and Chu Yiqing were stunned, and quickly turned to look at Abao, saying in unison: "What did you say?"
"Why don't mother and father get married like Uncle Lei Yuan and sister Yingqian? Mother should wear beautiful red clothes and a red hijab!" Abao asked seriously.
Chu Yiqing and Li Huang looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
Although it was already midday, when the sun was the warmest in the day, there was still a cold wind blowing on the top of the mountain. After Chu Yiqing gave Li Huang all the slivers to eat, he whispered: "It's time to go back!"
Li Huang also nodded, stepped forward and picked up A Bao and said with a smile: "A Bao, today I allow you to sit on daddy's shoulders and fly down, but remember, it can only be this time. You have to go down the mountain by yourself in the future, do you understand?
"
When A Bao heard this, he immediately climbed up on Li Huang's shoulders, sat high on it like a little emperor, and shouted loudly: "Dad, I understand, don't worry, A Bao will definitely practice well!"
"
Li Huang smiled softly, and in order to ease the somewhat stiff atmosphere, he lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Yiqing and said, "Shall we try to compete with mother? Let's see if mother can catch up with us!"
Abao immediately cheered loudly: "Okay, Daddy, go for it!"
Following Abao's cheers, Li Huang tipped his toes, and he flew into the air, with his black hair flying, the corners of his robe flying, and he galloped down the mountain.
Chu Yiqing gathered his thoughts and followed closely, leaving Abao's cheers in the snowy mountain forest.
We spent a long time on the mountain today. Mrs. Huangfu and the others had already had lunch. Jin Yu was helping to heat up the rice in the kitchen and whispered to Chu Yiqing: "Mom said I don't have to wait for you. You must have figured it out."
Come back late!"
Chu Yiqing couldn't help but blush, nodded, and took out the hot food.
When Concubine Qing saw the three of them coming back, she went to the hall and ate with Li Huang and Abao. Her face and eyes were full of tenderness and reluctance.
"Huang'er, if you don't have anything to do, go back early. It's already twenty-seven today. If you go back late, your father will be suspicious!" Although she was reluctant to give up, Concubine Qing still urged, for fear that Li Huang would miss important things because of his greed for this moment.
"Concubine, I will set off this afternoon!" Li Huang nodded and said, this is a critical moment and he cannot take it lightly.
"Okay, I'll go and pack it up for you!" As soon as Concubine Qing heard that Li Huang was leaving in the afternoon, she quickly got up and went back to the room, took out two brocade robes she had made by herself, and inspected them carefully again.
Li Huang came into the room and watched her looking at the robe. He couldn't help but call out: "Mother Concubine..."
"Huang'er, try it and see if it fits you!" Concubine Qing raised her eyes and smiled, stood up, and gesticulated the brocade robe on Li Huang's body, "The fat and thin are just right, and the size is just right. I used to be in Tianlan Courtyard.
When I was young, I would imagine what you looked like and make clothes, but unfortunately I didn’t take out any of them. These two are my new ones, you must wear them!"
"Concubine, I know, you..." Li Huang couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of Concubine Qing imagining herself making clothes.
"Concubine, my child is useless. I can only keep you here. You cannot fulfill your filial piety in front of my concubine..." Li Huang whispered.
"Huang'er, I'm very satisfied to see your mother and concubine again, and I won't ask for more. Besides, I still have A Bao here with me, so don't worry!" Concubine Qing said with a forced smile, "Abao's matter.
Don’t worry, I will respect your and Yiqing’s opinions!”
Li Huang nodded and held Concubine Qing's hand tightly.
Knowing that Li Huang was leaving, Chu Yiqing didn't want Abao to disturb him and Concubine Qing anymore and let them talk more.
At noon, Li Huang left with Tenglong.
Chu Yiqing took A Bao and Qing Fei to the entrance of the village, and watched the two horses riding away slowly, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Yiqing, what happened that day was my fault. Huang'er has already told me. Don't worry, I won't interfere in Abao's affairs again!" On the way back, Concubine Qing whispered to Chu Yiqing.
Chu Yiqing was stunned. He didn't expect Concubine Qing to apologize to her first, and quickly waved her hand and said: "Aunt Qing, I misunderstood you in my impatience. You were also doing it for A Bao's good, I..."
"Now that we have talked about it, it's good. A Bao is your son and Huang'er is my son. You and I are both mothers, so naturally you should be able to understand my feelings. Huang'er really likes you. As for
You young people can discuss what you should do in the future. I am old and can no longer meddle in so many other things. I just want to watch my grandson grow up healthy and healthy!" Concubine Qing touched A Bao.
Said the little head wearing a tiger skin hat.
Chu Yiqing could only smile and nod.
Although Chu Yiqing was a little reluctant to leave after Li Huang left, fortunately it was the Chinese New Year, and the family was steaming dumplings, making buns, frying meat, and frying fish. They were busy eating all day long, plus
He still had to look at the fish shed and chicken shed, and the rapeseed had just been planted. Chu Yiqing gradually shifted his focus to production and stayed busy until the end of the year.
On the evening of New Year's Eve, Sun Mingfa and a few other important people were left in the vegetable shed to control the temperature. The rest of the people were put back in to celebrate the New Year, and came back in the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"Sister Jinyu, put more meat in the dumplings, just wrap the meat core. Brother Sun and the others like to eat it!" Chu Yiqing stepped forward and warned, "It's not easy for you guys to work on New Year's Eve. Give them more."
Make something delicious!”
Jin Yu quickly wrapped the dumplings and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, I have already arranged it. Chicken, duck, fish and meat are all available. I guarantee that they will be satisfied with the meal! If you have a wife and children who want to celebrate the New Year together, I can count them too.
Come on, enough care!"
Chu Yiqing nodded and looked at the various dishes. Seeing that they were almost busy, he asked Li Zi to prepare lunch boxes and asked Liu San and Shi Shi to deliver them.
"Old Madam, Madam, Miss Chu!" At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the door being called from outside, which seemed to be the voice of the Sun family. Liu San quickly went to open the door.
The Sun family entered the door with their three children. As soon as they entered, they quickly asked the children to kowtow to Jin Yu and Chu Yiqing, and said, "Come on, kowtow to Mrs. Chu for the New Year!"
Jin Yu's hands were full of dough and he couldn't free up his hands. Chu Yiqing quickly stepped forward to stop him and said: "Okay, don't kowtow. Come on, let's get a red envelope for each person!"
Yingqian quickly gave the red envelopes to the three children.
"Miss Chu, this can't be done. I just brought my children to wish Miss Chu and Madam Chu a happy new year. Over the years, I have been taken care of by Miss Chu and Madam Chu a lot!" The Sun family suddenly felt embarrassed.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Even if you don't bring your children, this red envelope will still be given to you. A Bao grew up drinking your milk with them. They are brothers, and they will be relatives in the future!"
When Chu Yiqing said these words, the Sun family looked very excited and quickly asked the children to thank them.
Chu Yiqing looked at the three children. The older one had a runny nose when he first met him, but now he has grown into a young man and a half. He is also studying in the school. Now he is wearing a brand new green cloth robe.
He has a somewhat formal temperament. The one in the middle is now seven or eight years old, with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like brain. He seems to be more active than the eldest brother. The younger one is older than A Bao, but not as strong as A Bao. Perhaps it is because
When I was a child, I was robbed of my milk by Abao and drank it!
When the Sun family members saw Chu Yiqing sizing up the three children, they quickly picked up the eldest one and said, "Miss Chu, this is the eldest, called Yusheng. She is twelve years old. She is doing well in studies and will be able to take the scholar exam next year!"
Sun Yusheng quickly saluted Chu Yiqing.
"Yes, he looks like a good boy at first glance!" Chu Yiqing nodded.
"Miss Chu, my name is Lei Sheng!" the second child said suddenly.
The Sun family member quickly said: "Miss Chu, this second brother is a talkative and not as steady as his elder brother!"
Chu Yiqing glanced at the two of them and smiled: "They are both good boys, Yusheng and Leisheng, what are your ambitions?"
Sun Yusheng lowered his eyes and said, "I want to study hard!"
Sun Leisheng said loudly: "Miss Chu, I want to make money with my father and make a lot of money!"
Chu Yiqing smiled slowly and said to the Sun family: "Son of the Sun family, although these two children have different personalities, they are both good children. Let them go to school first, and I will make arrangements for it later! You must also remember
, Abao is your brother, you must love and protect him in school from now on!"
Sun Yusheng didn't show much performance, but Lei Sheng was very excited when he heard this. In the school, how many children wanted to be A Bao's friends, but because there were four King Kongs around A Bao, they didn't dare to come forward. Now
It was A Bao's mother who said it herself. They are A Bao's brothers. From now on...
"Thanks to Miss Chu for not disagreeing, from now on Yusheng and Leisheng will be Master Abao's followers. This brother would never dare to be a follower!" said the Sun family member quickly.
Chu Yiqing smiled but did not insist. After talking for a while, seeing that it was getting late, he asked the Sun family to take their three children with them to celebrate the New Year with Sun Mingfa.
After leaving the house, the Sun family members were all smiles, but looking at Lei Sheng, they were still a little uneasy and warned again: "Miss Chu is just saying polite words. What a family likes most is a loyal and down-to-earth person. From now on, you will
Just treat Master Abao as your master, but don’t forget your own identity!”
Lei Sheng was a little disappointed when he heard that, but Yu Sheng said: "Mom, I know what you mean, but I want to study and don't want to be a slave!"
The Sun family member was stunned and couldn't help but said: "But Miss Chu has never regarded your mother and your father as slaves. This person should be content!"
Sun Yusheng lowered his head and said, "Mom, tell me, why are these people born rich and poor?"
The Sun family members were stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"Mom, look at the third brother. He is obviously half a year older than A Bao, but not as tall as A Bao. Why? Isn't it because you gave the milk that the third brother drank to A Bao? And back then, my mother did it for his family.
The mushroom was injured, have you forgotten all these things?" Sun Yusheng continued, his voice getting deeper and deeper.
"What do you think, kid? If I hadn't been a nanny to Master Abao back then, not to mention your third brother, your three brothers would have starved to death! And in these years, where did you get the money to study? Not all of them.
The salary that Miss Chu gave me? Did you know that your father’s bonus is the salary for one year’s work? Why does Miss Chu value our family so much? Isn’t it because your mother, your father and Miss Chu are of the same mind? I wanted to take you with me today.
Come and meet Miss Chu. Even if you fail to pass the exam next year, as long as Miss Chu values you, your future will be no worse than that scholar! Unexpectedly, you will..." The Sun family couldn't help but scold Sun Yusheng loudly.
"Mom, I will study hard and be admitted as a scholar. You don't need to ask others for help!" Sun Yusheng said, turning around and leaving.
"Where are you going? Aren't you going to the vegetable shed to celebrate the New Year with your father?" The Sun family member hurriedly caught up and asked.
"I'm not going, I'm going back to celebrate the New Year with my grandma!" Sun Yusheng said and left without looking back.
"How did this naughty kid become like this after studying for several years? Even his parents look down upon him!" The Sun family couldn't help but feel sad. Although she and Sun Mingfa were long-term workers of the Zhao family, they were from eight villages within ten miles.
How many people envied them, because they had no great abilities and could only live peacefully, but they never expected that they had such a rebellious son!
"Mom, we don't care about brother. Let's go to the vegetable shed. Just now I saw Miss Chu preparing a lot of delicious food, including fish!" Sun Leisheng grabbed the corner of Sun's clothes and said, thinking only about food.
The Sun family member sighed and cursed: "You only know how to eat! You are a useless thing!"
Sun Leisheng pursed his lips in grievance.
In the vegetable shed, the dozen or so long-term workers who stayed behind brought their wives and children to celebrate the New Year. Everyone gathered together to talk and laugh, and within a quarter of an hour two people were sent out to patrol and add charcoal.
"In previous years, we celebrate the New Year at our own home, so it's good to get together like this this year!" Sun Houhou chuckled. He has no wife or children. He only has an old lady who follows his eldest brother, so he is alone, watching others have a family and a career.
Yes, I can't help but be envious.
"No, Miss Chu is a cheerful person. The New Year's Eve dinner will be sumptuous soon!" She opened her mouth and teased the one-year-old child with a smile, "It's warm in this shed, but it's better than at home!"
Sun Mingfa smiled and looked up to see the Sun family coming with their children, so he came out to welcome them, "Why are you here so late? The road is not easy to walk?"
The Sun family member quickly shook his head and said: "It's not far away. It will be here in half an hour. I took the children to the house first to wish Miss Chu and Madam Chu a happy birthday. I also wanted to make plans for the two children. Who can
Knowing that Yu gave birth to him..."
The Sun family whispered what had just happened, and couldn't help wiping away tears and said: "Dad, who do you think we are working so hard for? Isn't it all for these children? I originally thought about it.
He left a way out, you said..."
Sun Mingfa frowned and sighed: "Fuck, the child has his own ideas. If he wants to study, he can study. If he doesn't pass the exam, he will naturally look back! Young people, it's good to have some ambition!"
When the Sun family members heard that Sun Mingfa said the same thing, they felt better. It was cold outside, so they quickly wiped away their tears and went into the house with the children.
After a while, a New Year's Eve dinner was delivered to the house, including chicken, duck, and fish, as well as dumplings with meat cores. Everyone gathered together to have a lively New Year's Eve dinner.
Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Xiaomai and Jin Yu went out to kowtow to the elders in the village as usual. Chu Yiqing took the children in a warm room and told the story of Sun Wukong becoming a new wife and teasing Zhu Bajie.
Then he painted a portrait of Zhu Bajie carrying his wife on his back, and the whole room was filled with laughter.
Concubine Qing sat aside and listened to Chu Yiqing's vivid words. She couldn't help but slowly raised the corners of her lips and asked with a smile: "Yiqing, where did you hear this story? It's very special!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "It's just something I use to coax my children in my spare time. I didn't read it from a book!"
Concubine Qing nodded and stopped asking, just sitting aside with a smile.
Children like to listen to Zhu Bajie's Marrying a Wife, while Mai Xiang likes to listen to Tang Seng's Qu Jing about the Kingdom of Women. Every time, she would pester Chu Yiqing to tell it, and after listening, she would sit aside silently, as if thinking about something.
Chu Yiqing knew that she was thinking of Liu Yi, but it was difficult to persuade her. Even she herself was not sure whether Liu Yi could come back, so she had to pretend that she didn't know what to do and was just playing around with the children.
"Is this the Zhao family?" Suddenly, someone shouted outside the gate.
Because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, people in the countryside usually didn't close their doors to facilitate people coming in to pay New Year greetings. So as soon as the door of the hall opened, everyone saw the two dusty people outside the door.
The two men seemed to be young men, and behind them was a large cart packed with things. Chu Yiqing asked Li Zi to go and ask.
After a while, Lizi trotted into the house and said, "Miss Chu, they say they are from Rao State and are here to give gifts to Miss Chu!"
"Rao Guo?" Chu Yiqing was stunned and immediately thought of Liu Yi. At this moment, Mai Xiang had already stomped off the kang in the back room and ran out without even putting on her shoes.
"This kid!" Chu Yiqing sighed and followed him out.
"Liu Yi asked you to come? Is he...is he okay?" Mai Xiang stared at one of them and asked, her eyes red.
The man quickly replied: "This is Miss Zhao, right? My second young master specially asked us to tell the lady that everything is fine with him, and ask the lady not to worry about it! There is also a letter for you, miss!"
When Mai Xiang heard this, she quickly took the letter and wanted to open it and read it. After thinking about it, she entered the house.
Chu Yiqing asked Li Zi to welcome the two of them into the hall. Seeing that the two of them were shivering from the cold, he quickly served them hot tea and ordered them to eat dumplings, letting them eat some first to warm themselves up.
The two people first clasped their fists towards Chu Yiqing and said, "Is this Miss Chu? The car is full of New Year's gifts sent by our young master. It's just because the two of us are not accustomed to Chu Han's soil and water, so we were delayed by the wind and cold.
Otherwise, it would have been delivered long ago!" The two said and pointed to the carriage outside.
Chu Yiqing asked people to unload the things and carry them into the hall. The two people talked about Liu Yi's recent situation, handed over the gift list, and then started to eat with peace of mind.
Chu Yiqing looked at the gift list. They were all specialties of the Rao Kingdom, such as blankets and cloaks, as well as valuable antlers. It was quite a lot to fill two boxes. One of the small boxes was not marked, and the two small boxes were not marked.
The guy said, this little box is just for Mai Xiang!
Chu Yiqing knew Liu Yi's affection for Mai Xiang, so he understood it. He closed the gift list and stayed with the two people for one night, but the two people refused to say anything, saying that they had to go back and recover quickly, and it would be too late.
.
Mai Xiang came out of the house with red eyes. When she heard that the two people were leaving immediately, she hurried back to the house, picked up a small baggage and handed it to the two people: "Please give it to Liu Yi!"
The two people quickly said: "Don't worry, Miss Zhao!"
Chu Yiqing also asked Fourteen to send the people out.
After they left, Chu Yiqing pointed to the small box and said, "Maixiang, Liu Yi gave this to you. I'll have someone carry it in for you. Take your time and take a look!"
Mai Xiang's eyes were red, she nodded, and she and Li Zi carried the things in.
