Watching the sun set in the west, Wei Zijun and his wife went down the mountain with unfulfilled wishes.
Behind the carriage, the setting sun dyed half of the sky red, and the bamboo baskets hanging on the horses were filled with green wild vegetables.
The farmers who had just come up from the farmland on the roadside and were going home with their hoes on their backs saw the advancing team and recognized that it was the city lord who was traveling. No one evaded in fear, and no one made a loud noise.
Everyone in the city doesn't know that although the city lord is a woman, she doesn't just give orders in the government office.
She can take people up the mountain to teach them how to identify medicinal herbs, and can go to the fields to check the sowing and seedling conditions.
Every spring, I go to the mountains several times to pick wild vegetables.
City residents have become accustomed to these.
In the carriage, when he saw grass clippings on his daughter's hair, Wei Zijun reached out and gently picked it off.
He Zexu handed warm water to his daughter who was hungry for snacks. Seeing the faint smile on his wife's face, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, the carriage stopped in front of the house, and as soon as Ruyi got off the carriage, she said she was going to see Mrs. Song - her mother - tomorrow!
"Okay, I will accompany you as my husband." He Zexu responded with a smile.
If the mother-in-law whom he doesn't approve of cares about the relationship between mother and daughter, he doesn't expect her to feel guilty and repentant towards Sanniang. She just needs to act a little bit like a mother. If the Song family and Wei Qingshu are like that, then he also
You will never make it easy for the other party.
Of course, he would never take action against the Song family, but it was not just an option. Anyway, he would never let her husband and wife have a hard time in the future.
Back at the house, brothers Xiao An and Xiao Le were also back. They were envious that their sister could go out with their parents.
The two brothers had little interest in picking wild vegetables, but they liked the meals made with wild vegetables under the guidance of their mother.
They said they should eat less for dinner, but both of them were full.
No matter how difficult Wei Zijun's life was before, when the three siblings were born, their living conditions were already very good.
Wei Zijun did not pamper them with fine clothes and fine food. He often made daily cereals and wild vegetables for them every spring when they were at their tenderest.
The three brothers and sisters all know that coarse grains and wild vegetables are the staple food used by some poor households to fill their stomachs. When cooked, they are not as delicious as those cooked by their own cooks. Therefore, the three brothers and sisters have not been picky eaters since they were young.
However, the brothers envied their sister in their hearts because their parents would take her out.
But the two of them had already discussed in private that they would take up the burden that originally rested on their mother's shoulders. One would be responsible for the affairs of the government office, and the other would be responsible for the military camp.
Let my mother relax and live a leisurely life.
Now, his two brothers are still a little too young to completely relieve their mother of the burden. They will work hard to make themselves stronger and protect their mother and sister together with their father.
As for the very powerful father, he has been fighting for many years, and because his mother died and escaped, he has been sad and lonely for more than ten years. It is really pitiful, so the two brothers do not want to drag their father to carry the burden, and let him take care of himself.
Stay with your mother and sister.
In this way, the brothers can feel more at ease.
The first few times I had contact with my father, I really felt that he was quite unreliable. He could not recognize his biological son face to face, and he even planned to become a sworn brother with his son.
After getting along with each other for a long time, I feel that my father is really good, good-looking and good at martial arts. The most important thing is that my father’s attitude towards my mother is very different from other couples, although I have not seen too many couples.
, but in most families, it seems that the women are afraid of the men in the family.
It's rare for a man to be ridiculed by his neighbors for being henpecked when a woman is in charge.
My father is really doting on my mother, and she lets her make the decision on everything big or small.
A family of five were walking in the backyard to eat. Ruyi was walking with her parents. She accidentally turned around and saw her two brothers lagging behind, muttering something in a low voice.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to find my brother." Ruyi said hello and turned around and ran back.
"I don't know what those two boys are up to." He Zexu turned his head and said after his daughter's eyes fell on the two sons who were lagging behind.
Wei Zijun did not look back when he heard this: "I guess, nine out of ten, we are talking about those two special guests."
He Zexu nodded. Wei Qingshu and his wife did not hide the matter from the three children. He knew that although the three children envied the children next to them for having the love of their grandfather and grandmother, they knew what their own grandparents were like.
People who don't know how to treat their mother naturally don't have that kind of expectation in their hearts.
However, I am still a little curious and want to see what those two selfish elders are like.
"I guess these people will take a look secretly." He Zexu's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to himself.
Wei Zijun heard this but didn't even look back and said, "If they want to see it, let them see it."
Wei Zijun was quite relieved about his children, and he only went to take a look out of curiosity. He would not show up to recognize them, nor would he do anything good or bad to them.
Good thing.
"Huh? What's your expression? Do you want them to recognize their relatives?" Wei Zijun didn't hear the response. He turned around and saw the regretful look on his face.
She naturally knew that he would never think so, and she was just teasing him like this on purpose.
Recently, because of the incident between Wei Qingshu and the two of them, he tried his best to enlighten her and divert her mental attention, just for fear that she would feel sad.
Hey, who would have thought that the people she can trust and rely on the most in this world are not her biological parents? Instead, they are her "picked-up" husband!
"Why would I think that?" He Zexu responded immediately, realizing that his tone was a bit high, and quickly turned around and looked behind him, and sure enough, the three brothers and sisters all looked over.
He was just about to wave to the children to signal that it was okay and not to make a fuss, but he saw that the three little ones ignored him and huddled together and continued to murmur.
It felt really bad to be ignored by his own child. He Zexu sighed softly, turned around and faced his wife's smiling face, raised his hand and pointed behind him: "These three heartless people are just...
I’m not worried about us arguing at all.”
"If not, why don't we have a fight? Let's see how the three of them react?" Wei Zijun asked with a smile.
He Zexu immediately shook his head: "Let's forget it. If our husband and wife quarrel, no matter who is right or wrong, the other three will help you and will not help me."
"Don't be so unsure of yourself, why don't you give it a try?" Wei Zijun continued to tease, and for some reason, he felt that the man next to him, who was called the God of War, showed his aggrieved side very cutely.
"Mom, what are you trying?" After a while, the three brothers and sisters who had finished their conspiracy came closer and Ruyi asked curiously.
The couple looked at each other and smiled, but they couldn't tell the truth to the children. What should I say? Try pretending to have a quarrel. Who are you targeting? How can adults do such childish things?
"By the way, I just saw the three of you muttering, what were you plotting?" He Zexu simply asked in reverse.
"Mom, look, there is such a big group of sparrows. Daddy and I will go fetch them and roast the sparrows for you and your sister to eat tonight." Xiao Le reacted the fastest. After speaking, he winked at his brother, and the two brothers each grabbed their father.
One of his arms went towards the courtyard wall.
Run away quickly, because you can't lie to your father and mother, and you can't tell the truth.
Wei Zijun smiled lightly and looked at his daughter, who was still there with her eyes wandering around. Suddenly, she felt a little unsure. If the three children just wanted to take a peek at the two of them, there was no need to feel so guilty, right?
Is it possible that these three children really want to do something to those two...
