Chapter 185 Family
Today this land can still be called stable, but I wonder what the situation will be like in twenty or thirty years.
Zhao Yuanxi felt unusually heavy-hearted.
"Go back!" She turned and left.
After returning to Ganquan Palace, Zhao Yuanxi saw Fusu and Ziying waiting for him at the door. He calmed down and touched their heads, "Why didn't you go in?"
"We want to see our grandmother sooner." Ziying hugged Zhao Yuanxi's arm and rubbed against her.
Fusu looked at Zhao Yuanxi with bright eyes.
"You're so grown up, why are you still so clingy?" Zhao Yuanxi said with a hint of disgust, but his tone was full of doting.
After the Chinese New Year, the two little guys were five years old and could be considered big kids. Before they knew it, they had grown to about the height of Zhao Yuanxi's waist.
"I don't care. I want to stick with my mother for the rest of my life."
Zhao Yuanxi laughed and poked his head. "How old are you? You're already threatening to stick with me forever. Do you know how long a lifetime is?"
Ziying pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Of course I know."
He is not a fool, of course he knows how long a lifetime is.
Zhao Yuanxi held their hands, one on each side, and walked back.
"Mother, is the banquet delicious?" Ziying grabbed Zhao Yuanxi's arm and jumped up and down.
"It's okay! But not as good as my grandmother's!" Zhao Yuanxi said proudly.
Fusu raised his head and asked again, "Has Grandmother eaten enough?"
Zhao Yuanxi pretended to ponder for a moment, then looked at the two little guys' expectant eyes and said, "We can eat a little more."
"Great! This way, my mother can..." Ziying suddenly covered his mouth and looked at Zhao Yuanxi guiltily.
"What can you do?" Zhao Yuanxi looked at them with a smile.
Ziying shook his head, looking innocent, "I don't know!"
Zhao Yuanxi looked at Jang Geum and saw that Jang Geum just lowered her head and smiled, and he felt suspicious.
He was half-pulled and half-dragged into the house by the two little guys.
The lights in the room were dim, but Zhao Yuanxi still noticed the many pottery figurines on the table at first glance, and there was a bowl of steaming noodles next to them.
Zhao Yuanxi raised an eyebrow, "You did it?"
"Jang Geum taught us to do it!" Ziying puffed out his chest, looking very proud.
"Mother, please try it." Fusu said hurriedly.
Zhao Yuanxi sat down and picked up a few noodles with chopsticks. Perhaps because they had been left for too long, the noodles had lost their original chewiness, but these were definitely the best noodles she had ever eaten.
"It's delicious." Zhao Yuanxi praised.
Ziying's nose moved, smelling the aroma of noodles, and he couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth, "Really?"
"You guys try it too."
The two little guys refused at first, but they couldn't resist the temptation and brought two small bowls to share the food with Zhao Yuanxi.
Ziying couldn't wait to take a big bite. As soon as it entered his mouth, his little face wrinkled up. "Grandmother, you lied to me. This is not tasty at all."
Fusu also took a bite, sniffed, and explained quietly, "Sorry, we thought it would be delicious."
"I really like it. I'm not kidding you." Zhao Yuanxi bent down, hugged them in his arms, and said softly, "Thank you."
Zhao Yuanxi kissed each of them directly.
The two little guys' faces immediately turned red and they lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Ziying leaned close to Zhao Yuanxi's ear and said, "I am also very grateful to the eldest mother."
Zhao Yuanxi laughed.
"Then what about these terracotta warriors?"
The workmanship is crude and it doesn't look like something made by a craftsman, so it can only be their masterpiece.
Fusu explained softly, pointing to the largest one in the middle, "This is the eldest mother, and these two are from Ziying and I. We made them both."
What he didn't say was that he was also a father and had been sent to the Qin Palace.
Zhao Yuanxi picked up the terracotta figurine of himself. It looked like something with a nose and eyes, but apart from the clothes she often wore, which made people think it was her, there was really no resemblance between her and other parts of the figurine.
As for the two little ones, they can be considered as human beings.
From this, we can see that the two little guys must have put a lot of effort into making her pottery figurine.
The three of them finally shared the bowl of noodles, and the pottery figurines were also collected by Zhao Yuanxi.
Only after coaxing them to sleep could Zhao Yuanxi sort out his mood for the day.
Unconsciously, she seemed to be unable to leave this place. Not only was she the mother of two children, or the queen mother of Qin, she seemed to have adapted to these two identities.
There was heavy snow outside the window——
A family far away in Yongcheng, the man came into the house carrying firewood and immediately closed the door, and the woman closed the window of the west room.
The man rubbed his hands and said, "It's really cold today! Are the children asleep?"
The woman replied in a low voice, "Everyone is asleep, hurry up and light up the kang!"
"Okay." The man smiled innocently.
The man lit the kang, added some firewood, and then walked back into the house.
The woman pulled him and measured his body with a tape measure. "Come, let me measure you."
The man refused: "What's the point? I have enough clothes to wear. Just make some clothes for the children."
The woman rolled her eyes at him. "Your clothes are all tattered at the sleeves. Why don't you change into new ones? Aren't you worried that people will look down on you?"
"I came here first because of the children!"
"I've already made the children's clothes. The only thing missing is yours."
The man grabbed the woman's hand and said, "I'm a man, it doesn't matter what I wear. Why don't you make yourself some nice clothes?"
The woman pulled her hand away and said angrily, "Don't worry! I've prepared something for myself too."
The man scratched his hair embarrassedly and asked curiously, "Where did you get so much fabric?"
"I'm working for the headman now. I used my wages from a few days ago to buy some cloth. It's getting cold, so it's time to buy some more clothes." The woman muttered to herself as she measured the man's size.
"Yes! Yes! The headman's family has no shortage of cloth. It's all thanks to you finding such a good job." The man suddenly realized and lowered his head in embarrassment. "I'm useless. I haven't been able to buy you a few sets of clothes in all these years. You still have to rely on you to go out and work."
"What are you talking about! Without you, what would our family eat? Now that life is better, there's no need to separate you and me."
The man looked at his wife with fiery eyes, touched her rough hands, and said with some heartache, "You are so kind."
The woman sighed, "We have to thank the Queen Mother for this. If she hadn't ordered the opening of a clothing workshop so that we could earn some money, we would have been starving and freezing again this winter."
"I heard from Xiaowu who came back from Xianyang that today is the Queen Mother's birthday. The Xianyang Palace must be very lively. I really hope she lives a long life."
The man looked towards Xianyang and said, "Yes! If it weren't for the Queen Mother, I don't know how we would have gotten through this!"
