The Petite Wife of the First Family - Chapter 228

   Chapter 228

   The other people at the table were happily eating, and no one knew the thoughts of these three people.

   Father Xu did not do carpentry work right away after eating. He sat down to cook the fire, and the big housekeeper Wen also cooked around the brazier like him.

   Xu Zhizhi knew: what her father wanted to say.

   She grabbed Xiao Jingheng and sat by the brazier, and put her fair hand on the fire to bake.

  Xu Xiaowu saw that his sister and brother-in-law were staying to cook the fire, so he took Wen Yushu and sat next to Xu Zhizhi together.

   The little guy followed his sister’s example and put his little hands on the brazier to roast it over and over again.

   Father Xu waited for Xu Daniu and Wen Yu to sit down before asking, “Do you know that when will your grandfather arrive?”

  Xu Zhizhi: So I missed his father! She knew that the old marquis would arrive at the earliest around the year.

  Xu Daniu said, “I received a letter from my grandfather the day before yesterday. I’ve been very busy recently and haven’t set out yet!”

   Butler Wen said, “Did the letter say when to leave?”

   He knew that the border was about 300 kilometers away from here.

   The horse-drawn carriage has been on the road for almost three days, but I wonder if the old marquis can handle such a hurry?

  Xu Daniu said: “The letter did not mention the specific departure time, but said that it would arrive about a small year ago.”

   Xu Zhizhi said, “Dad, do you miss your grandfather? Didn’t you just receive his letter?”

  Father Xu said, “Girl Zhi, your grandfather didn’t say whether your uncle would come for the Chinese New Year, so I want you to write a letter and ask.”

  Xu Zhizhi: It turns out that his father knew that his grandfather would definitely come, but he didn’t miss him too much, but cared about his brother!

   Then there is no way, her uncle can’t come.

   Butler Wen was very surprised! He never dreamed that his brother Xu was so devoted to love and righteousness, and he still wanted his big brother to come to celebrate the New Year together?

   How is that possible? Not to mention that his brother is inexperienced and incompetent, and he has no important official position. The idle position is easy, but without special assignments, he can’t leave for a lifetime.

  If his brother is a person with high power and position, it is even more impossible to leave the imperial city at the end of the year!

   However, Butler Wen understood that Father Xu didn’t understand these things. When he looked at Father Xu who was a little sad and didn’t know how to comfort him, he heard the peculiar clear voice of a fairy girl.

“Dad, you miss our uncle! You won’t be able to come during the Chinese New Year, but my husband and I will go to Luocheng to see him after the New Year. This time, we brought a lot of food for them, and you and uncle are also very fast. See you soon, don’t worry!”

  Xu Xiaowu also said: “Dad, don’t worry, my brother Zhixuan said that he will bring his uncle to our house next year to eat roasted sweet potatoes.”

   Father Xu was enlightened by his daughter and son, so he also smiled and said, “Okay, then Dad will go to the dining table that your brother-in-law has painted.”

   Butler Wen felt that the fairy girl was amazing, and a few words made her sad-faced father happy.

  Xu Zhizhi said, “Father, it’s cold now, you should go to bed earlier, and do it tomorrow. Grandfather will arrive in ten days at the earliest!”

   Father Xu wanted to say: Ten days passed quickly!

   However, he also knew that his daughter cared about him, so he said: “Okay, then I’ll go back to sleep after cooking for a while.”

   Xu Zhizhi and Xiao Jingheng said good night to everyone and went back to sleep.

   Xu’s father and Wen’s housekeeper talked a lot again, and Xu’s father finally knew how much rice and oil their family had to eat a day, and how much money they had to spend.

   He said in surprise: “I only made a tael of silver in two months!”

  The big housekeeper Wen also said: “My salary in the past was only more than 160 taels a year! Today I made more than 1,000 taels a day. I am very happy, so I want to share it with my brother.”

  However, I met someone who didn’t understand even more than me!

   Now, it’s fine, Brother Xu can understand, and I will encounter this again in the future.

Hey-hey! Although it’s been so long, it’s only been one day like this!

   However, when he has a large income in the future, he will have someone to share the happiness with!

   The two of them saw that it was getting late, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.

   Father Xu returned to the room and saw that his daughter-in-law hadn’t slept yet.

   He usually comes back around this time, usually seeing Mother Xu asleep.

   Even if Mother Xu was not asleep, she was still lying on the bed. As for whether she was asleep or not, Father Xu did not look at it, so Father Xu automatically thought it was falling asleep.

   This time, seeing that my mother-in-law was not sleeping, I asked casually, “You still haven’t slept so late? What kind of monster do you want to be? Do you want to go back to your mother’s house?”

  The conscience of heaven and earth, Father Xu just asked casually, he really didn’t know the contradiction between his mother-in-law and Xu Zhizhi and Xu Daniu.

   Father Xu didn’t even know that Mother Xu was being punished recently!

   “Nothing, I just want to wait for you to come back to sleep!” Mother Xu said in a low voice.

  Father Xu said, “Didn’t you tell me? Don’t wait for me in the future, just go to sleep by yourself.”

   Father Xu went to wash up. He usually washes up very quickly. Today, seeing that Mother Xu was not sleeping, he didn’t want to face it, so it took a little longer.

   Xu’s mother saw that Xu’s father deliberately made such ink marks, so she could only lie on the bed obediently and pretend to sleep. She drank white porridge for a day in front of her, and she went to Wen Yuluo when she couldn’t stand it.

  Yesterday, Wen Yuluo presented a bowl of Laba porridge, which was delicious.

  However, today is white porridge again, and it is not as thick as the day before yesterday, it is much thinner.

   Therefore, Mother Xu was so panicked that she couldn’t sleep, and she always wanted to go to the thatched hut.

   Seeing that her husband is back, she is full of enthusiasm and wants to serve him well…

   Try to eat some meat tomorrow, but I will hear Xu’s father saying to send her back to her parents’ house!

   At this time, Mother Xu had no more thoughts, and honestly pretended to sleep!

  ………………………………

   At this time, in a military camp on the northwest border, the old man was helping his grandson Su Zhiming with bruise medicine!

   “Grandfather, take it easy, the wound doesn’t hurt as much as you rub it!”

  Su Zhiming grinned in pain and said dissatisfied.

  The old man said: “You still know it hurts! Aren’t you brave? It’s the most basic common sense to chase after the poor, you know? You are so eager for quick success! I usually teach you for nothing?”

  Su Zhiming admitted his mistake: “Grandfather, please calm down, it’s the grandson’s fault, and I too want to teach Xichu a lesson to those sons of bitches, and come to harass and **** it every year!”

  The old man said: “I know you want to drive away those Xichu dogs quickly, so that I can leave earlier! Hey!”

  Su Zhiming said: “Grandfather, don’t be angry, it’s because the grandson is not good at learning, and he will practice diligently in the future, and he will never lose face to his grandfather!”

  The old man believed this, because this grandson was really good.

  The old man is still very relieved, although his son was abolished by his second siblings.

   But, fortunately, he will have a son. The two grandsons that Lao Houye carefully raised are all very well now.

   The eldest grandson Su Zhixuan raised by the old man himself is very good, and the second grandson Su Zhiming is also very good.
