Ever since he heard Zhou Yanqing's words that day, Yue Zhongyao had been confused.
I avoided people all day long and just worked in the fields.
Even if you don't see people, you still talk to them.
Sometimes in the fields, you can stand in the sun for a whole day, and sometimes you have to hoe to your feet before you wake up.
My eyes were sore and swollen, but I couldn't shed tears. I wanted to find a place where no one was around to cry, but I felt too useless.
The Yue family didn't notice anything strange about their son.
He just thought that he was tired from working in the fields day after day. The old man told his son to take it easy, but also thought that his son might want to get two more acres of land when the family was divided, so he just shook his head and sighed and let him go.
Went.
Wu was very happy.
Although I still felt that it was a pity that my son had lost his official job, I still felt less resentful after seeing my son working so hard in the fields.
If more land is opened, more grain can be grown, and more grain can be harvested. That will be enough for the family, and there may be some leftover.
We can't take our son to the city to admit his mistake to the county magistrate and ask him to return to work. With things like this, what else can we do?
Yue Zhongyao was worried for days and had blisters at the corners of his mouth, and finally lay down.
When Sister Xiu came home to chat with Qiao Mingjin and mentioned that Yue Zhongyao was ill in bed, Qiao Mingjin was stunned.
That man was well built and had a strong body. Why did he suddenly lie down?
Wan'er was so anxious after hearing this.
He kept wandering around Qiao Mingjin. His little hands were tugging at the hem of Qiao Mingjin's clothes, his mouth opened and closed, and his eyes were full of hope. He looked at Qiao Mingjin eagerly, not knowing what he wanted to do.
She would not dare to go to her in-law's house to see her biological father.
Her grandma never gave her a good look. She is still afraid of her grandma.
The children she plays with all have a father and a mother, and the father and mother also live together, but she is different from others.
She was afraid that her mother would be sad, so she didn't dare to ask.
But she also wanted to be with her parents every day, sleep and eat together, and have her parents comfort her.
Qiao Mingjin felt soft when she saw her daughter holding her neck weakly and lying on her back.
He pulled her in front of him and said, "Wan'er wants to see dad?"
The little thing's eyes lit up. He looked at Qiao Mingjin and nodded and then shook his head.
"Are you afraid of seeing grandma?"
The little thing nodded again and again.
Qiao Mingjin sighed, took her daughter's hands, and said, "Then you and Sister Liuzhi go back to her house, and ask Brother Changhe to help guard next door. When your grandma is not here, you can go in to see your father.
."
"Okay!" The little thing nodded happily after hearing this.
He jumped up and down to break away from Qiao Mingjin's hand and ran away.
He ran back after a while.
"Mom, can I bring a pack of delicious snacks to Dad?"
Seeing Qiao Mingjin nod, she happily went into the side room where things were kept to search around...
Yue Zhongyao was lying on the bed, exhausted. His head was dizzy and swollen, and his ears were buzzing. He always felt that something was leaving him.
My heart was extremely anxious, and my internal fire was getting more and more intense. However, I was so weak that I couldn't get out of bed.
Yue Zhongyao was reminiscing about the past when Wan'er sneaked in.
On the night of the wedding, the whole room was red. His wife tightly held a handkerchief with a mandarin duck playing in the water, and sat on the wedding bed with a bright red scarf...
The night is as cool as water, and the person in my arms is soft and charming.
He held the one he loved most in his arms, afraid of squeezing her and not daring to move.
Kissing her delicate skin over and over again...until the person in his arms softened into a puddle of water...
Finally, she lay in his arms and gasped softly and feebly...
At that time, he felt that his heart was so full that even ten thousand dollars could not exchange it...
He traveled all the way with his meager severance money. He just wanted to see the person he missed day and night as soon as possible...
But why is it different?
Why did the two of them become like this?
Yue Zhongyao's heart ached and he covered his forehead with his hands. His eyes were so hot that he felt uncomfortable.
Wan'er looked left and right at the entrance of the courtyard, then carefully lay down outside the fence. When the river and the willow branches indicated that she could go in, the little thing still stretched her neck inside.
After confirming that no one was in the courtyard, he tiptoed into the courtyard.
First, he lay down at the door of Yue Zhongyao's room and listened. Then he looked into the yard, then carefully opened the door and squeezed in.
She tiptoed to Yue Zhongyao's bed. Seeing Yue Zhongyao's big hand covering his forehead, she didn't know if her father was asleep.
Some dare not approach.
After thinking again and again, I looked back, fearing that someone might suddenly come to the courtyard.
Biting his lip and hesitating, he walked closer step by step on tiptoes for a long time.
As soon as the little thing's little hand covered Yue Zhongyao's forehead, Yue Zhongyao opened his eyes.
Seeing that it was his beloved daughter, he hurriedly propped himself up and sat up: "Wan'er?"
The little thing almost burst into tears. He bit his lip and nodded vigorously.
"Daddy, are you sick?"
He tightly grasped the hem of Yue Zhongyao's clothes and burst into tears.
Yue Zhongyao's eyes were sore and he struggled to pick up his daughter.
Then he looked behind his daughter and asked, "Did Wan'er come alone? Where is your mother?"
I went into the courtyard and listened again.
The yard was quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing the treetops could be heard.
The little thing blinked and looked at Yue Zhongyao.
"Wan'er came alone. Brother Changhe and Sister Liuzhi are outside."
Then he used his little hand to cover Yue Zhongyao's forehead: "Daddy, is your forehead hot?"
Yue Zhongyao felt a little disappointed.
He took his daughter's soft little hand in his and held it tightly.
The other big hand covered her daughter's forehead and touched her again and again: "Daddy is fine. He is just tired. He just needs to lie down. Does your mother know you are coming?"
The little thing nodded and pushed the bag of snacks in his hand to Yue Zhongyao: "Daddy, eat it."
Yue Zhongyao's eyes stung as he looked at the large words Xinghualou printed on the yellow paper.
He took the bag of snacks and put them on the table beside him.
"Daddy will eat it later. Wan'er misses daddy, doesn't she?"
The little thing saw that her father looked sick and weak. She pursed her lips and wanted to cry. She touched Yue Zhongyao's face distressedly and leaned into Yue Zhongyao's arms.
Yue Zhongyao felt soft in his heart. He circled his daughter's little body and leaned against the bedpost together.
This is his daughter, with his blood and bones flowing in her body, how can she be raised by others?
"Wan'er, would you like to be with dad from now on?"
The little thing looked at his father and nodded: "And mother."
Yue Zhongyao felt sour in his heart.
He touched his daughter's face and said, "If it's your mother...if your mother wants to go back to your grandma's house, can you just follow your father?"
The little thing looked at her father and blinked: "Then Wan'er will go back to grandma's house with mother. Grandma and grandpa like Wan'er. There are also uncles and aunts."
Yue Zhongyao closed his eyes.
Then he asked: "Wan'er doesn't want to be with dad?"
The little thing raised her head and looked at her father: "I want to, but I don't like to be with grandma. Dad, can you live with Wan'er and mother?"
Yue Zhongyao hugged his daughter tightly. His chin was pressed against his daughter's forehead, and a tear fell on his daughter's black hair and disappeared...
This is his daughter, no one can take her away.
On the fifth day after Zhou Yanqing left, he was far outside the boundaries of Qingchuan City, and Mrs. Zhou continued to give instructions repeatedly.
On this day, Qiao Mingjin did not see Wan'er in the courtyard. She asked Mingqi.
"Going to find her father." Ming Qi replied.
Qiao Mingjin looked at Mingqi who still looked unhappy with Yue Zhongyao, feeling angry and funny at the same time.
"He is Wan'er's father after all."
"Hmph, if he wasn't Wan'er's father, I could beat him out!"
Qiao Mingjin looked at her and shook her head as she looked aggressive.
I don’t know who this person is like.
Her mother gave birth to two sons and three daughters. No one has such a bad temper and can hold a grudge against someone for so long. Her mother and her father are both good-tempered people. Although her grandmother Lan doesn't like to talk much, she has a good-natured appearance.
He doesn't laugh often. But he's not a shrewd person either.
This child didn't know who he was following.
Qiao Mingjin felt relieved when she learned that Wan'er was with her father.
Yue Zhongyao treated his daughter like a jewel in his palm. If anything happened to him, he would not let this daughter have any trouble. So he could rest assured and go back to the wing to continue reading her account books.
After lighting a stick of incense, at the first quarter of noon, the rumble of a carriage could be heard at the door.
Qiao Mingjin was surprised.
Zhou Yanqing has left. Apart from him, few people came to see her in a carriage.
Manager Zhou came by carriage, but in order to avoid suspicion, the carriages were parked at the workshop. It was Qiao Mingjin who went to the workshop to talk.
The two sisters looked at each other. Mingqi ran out and opened the door.
There was a middle-aged manager-looking man standing at the door with his hands behind his back and an arrogant look on his face. Next to him, there was a boy-looking man who was banging on the door with his fists raised.
Ming Qi looked unhappy when he saw that the boy was about to bang his hands on the door.
He frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
The boy glanced at the steward behind him, straightened his chest, and said loudly to the little girl in front of him: "We are from the city. Is there a lady named Qiao living here, named Qiao Mingjin?"
Mingqi frowned and looked at him.
This man is so rude. The woman’s maiden name was also named Da Jicheng?
Looking back and forth at the two people at the door, the middle-aged manager still had his neck raised as if his eyes were on his forehead.
Huh, who are you, looking like this when you are looking for someone!
Ming Qi withdrew his gaze and said, "Exactly. Who are you?"
The boy saw that he had found the right place, and then said: "That's it. Get out of the way quickly, we are from the Zhou Mansion, please lead us in quickly. This autumn tiger can make people hot. Please serve it quickly."
Here comes tea."
Ming Qi felt angry after hearing what he said.
He closed the door heavily and shouted from inside the door: "Wait!"
The little boy might as well have closed the door, but with one foot raised and was about to go in, the door almost hit him on the nose.
Then he cursed bitterly.
The middle-aged steward glanced at him and said, "Why bother with a country girl who has no rules? Do you expect her to be as respectful and polite as the girls in our Zhou family?"
Mingqi went inside to report to Qiao Mingjin. Qiao Mingjin was surprised and didn't know what the Zhou family wanted to do with her. But she knew she couldn't neglect it, so she asked Mingqi to open the door quickly.
The two people from Zhou Mansion waited outside the door for a while, and the door reopened. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest
