Chapter 399: The Household God Protects the Female Family
Pang's wife was not paying attention and called the wrong name.
Hearing Xie Zhen's words, her face looked a little apologetic, "Second Miss Xie, I'm sorry."
Xie Zhen shook his head and smiled slightly, saying, "It's okay." He then looked down at the little girl's ankle and said, "Your ankle is injured, so it's really hard for you to walk. Wait a moment."
Xie Zhen looked around and said to Pang's wife, mother and son, "Later."
Pang's wife was dragging two children with her. She saw the second daughter of the Xie family turn around and go to the back to stop a carriage. From a distance, she saw her say a few words to the driver, and then turn around and point at her.
Pang’s wife’s heart trembled.
Soon, Xie Zhen returned, touched the little girl's head, and said softly, "Mrs. Pang, take the child and follow the car."
"this……"
Pang's wife blushed, not knowing how to politely decline the other party's kindness. The caravan carriage that Xie Zhen had arranged had also caught up.
"Get in." The driver drove up and shouted to Pang's wife.
Her first reaction was to look back at the expressions of the escorting officers around her. She was trembling with fear and dared not move. However, she did not expect that the officers who were guarding the fugitives at the back of the team did not seem to be surprised.
"It's okay, the adults have nodded, come up."
Seeing that she still didn't dare to move, Xie Zhen asked, "Are you sure the girl is alone in the car?"
Of course I’m worried!
Pang’s wife said to herself without thinking.
After all, she was the wife of an official. In a flash, Mrs. Pang seemed to have figured out something. She bowed deeply to Xie Zhen and said sincerely, "Thank you very much for taking care of me today. If I need anything in the future, I hope you will be polite."
"Okay." Xie Zhen responded readily, smiling, "Get in the car."
Pang's wife and children got on the carriage, and the wheels rolled behind them. After Xie Zhen settled the three of them, he turned around and hurried back to his family.
The only person in the Xie family who could move freely was Xie Zhen.
Seeing that she had been delayed for a long time before returning, Mrs. Xie asked, "Were you delayed by something?"
"Grandma, don't worry. Zhen'er has already settled Madam Pang and the two children in the caravan."
Xie Zhen briefly recounted what had just happened. After listening, Old Lady Xie nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Dayi waited until the Xie family's grandparents finished speaking before asking, "Second Miss Xie, is Pang Jiming's wife willing to accept your help?"
Xie Zhen nodded and said, "Yes!"
Zhang Dayi's face lit up with joy. "That's the best."
Xie Jiarui, twirling his beard and in a good mood, walked in front holding his mother's hand. He looked back at his husband cutely and asked in a soft voice, "Sir! Sir! Why do you look so happy?"
As soon as his little voice opened, low laughter came from all directions.
Even Comrade Tu Huan, the family god, who was "walking slowly" not far away from him.
Ruan, holding her son's hand, couldn't help but shake his arm and tease him, "Why are you asking so many questions when you can't even walk properly?"
Xie Jiarui said seriously, "It was the teacher who taught me! The teacher said that as long as Jiarui studies hard and asks questions, he will become a learned adult like the teacher when he grows up."
A child's words made the elders at home around him laugh continuously.
Even Old Madam Xie couldn't help laughing and shaking her head. The journey of exile was obviously tense and arduous, but she occasionally found some fun because of the childish chatter of the children traveling with her.
Master Zhang looked at the youngest son of the Xie family with a loving gaze and said with a smile, "Brother Rui is absolutely right. It is worth all the teacher's teachings, good boy."
After being praised by the teacher, the little boy couldn't help but shake his mother Ruan's hand, and his tender face was full of pride.
"Mother, the master praised me."
"Be good." The smile on Ruan's lips lingered for a long time.
Xie Zhen looked at his nephew Xie Jiarui, then thought of the Pang family children behind him. He took two quick steps, walking side by side with Ruan, and whispered, "How about I arrange for you to take Rui and follow the car?"
Ruan shook her head. "It's okay to walk slowly on the road. If Rui Ge'er gets tired, I can carry him for a while."
"It's still some time before dark, and I'm tired from the journey."
"It doesn't matter a moment or two. It's okay. Until the officers in front give us a warning, we should just follow the arrangements made by Sixth Brother and the others. This way, we won't give the Xie family any special treatment and cause others to feel resentful."
Ruan was always attentive. Xie Zhen pondered for a moment, glanced at Xie Jiarui beside her, and asked in a low voice, "Are you tired, Rui? Is it okay for your aunt to carry you on her back?"
Xie Jiarui held his mother Ruan's hand and raised his little head, "Auntie, Jiarui can walk! I don't want you to carry me."
Xie Zhen was attracted by his cute expression and couldn't help but reach out and gently scratch Rui Ge'er's little face, "Rui Ge'er is so awesome? Well done!"
All children have this kind of spirit. The elders of the Xie family all smiled and did not force him to change his mind.
Zhang Dayi also discovered along the way that the Xie family never spoiled their children. No matter how old the child was, as long as they were able, they would never stop them from exercising.
Whether it works or not, I will let my child give it a try.
Xie Jiarui didn't know whether it was because he was praised by the elders one after another, or because he really wanted to be like everyone else. He was full of energy and held his mother Ruan's hand, and followed his family forward in an orderly manner.
Tu Huan watched from the side and admired her.
Such a young child actually has such spirit and energy, he is worthy of being Xie Yuchuan's nephew.
The speed of the exile team was indeed not fast, and even though she was following the team at such a normal speed, she did not feel too tired.
The escorts who will be in charge of the next year may have received some instructions from their superiors, so they are not rushing as frantically as before on the road today.
The convicts behind him relaxed a lot as they walked, and couldn't help but whisper to each other in private.
Tu Huan heard the cell phone ringing in her coat pocket.
"Xie Yuchuan: Has the household god left?"
Tu Huan: "Not yet, in the back."
later?
Xie Yuchuan raised his eyes slightly and glanced back unconsciously.
"What's wrong? Sixth brother?" Xie Wenjie asked.
Xie Yuchuan shook his head and looked back, concentrating on asking, "Are Grandmother and the others okay?"
Tu Huan glanced to the side at Madam Xie and the others.
"It's okay, don't worry, I'm here."
Xie Yuchuan's heart moved slightly.
Although the words of the household god were sometimes ordinary, they always made him feel very, very at ease.
"Xie Yuchuan: Thank you for the protection of the family god."
Although such words were old-fashioned and nothing new, he still couldn't help but want to thank the household god.
The family members behind them probably don’t know that at this moment, the gods of their Xie family are waiting for them right beside them.
Seeing that Xie Yuchuan had stopped moving, Tu Huan thought for a moment and said, "If you have anything to say, just let me know."
"Xie Yuchuan: Okay, of course."
Tu Huan put her phone away and put it in her pocket. She looked up and saw a child walking beside her with a fierce look on his face.
Hey, why is it so cute?
