I feel happy when I think that I will be lying in the mansion where royal relatives or high-ranking officials lived in ancient times.
Xu Mo walked up to Shen Jiaojiao, and seeing her smiling like a silly girl, he couldn't help but reached out and pinched her face.
"Wife, what are you laughing at?"
Shen Jiaojiao came back to her senses from her beautiful dream in the courtyard.
Close the box and reclaim the space.
"Of course I have thought of something good, but I won't tell you now. I'll give you a surprise later."
Xu Mo didn't insist on asking. Since it was a surprise, let's keep it mysterious!
Shen Jiaojiao suddenly felt a little lonely.
She just thought of the courtyard house under the imperial city.
My thoughts drifted away and I returned to my home.
In the military compound.
There are soldiers on duty, children laughing, and uncles, aunts, and mothers busy at work.
Dad was sitting on the balcony reading the newspaper.
My mother can't cook but she likes to wear an apron and cook her new dishes in the kitchen.
Grandpa played chess with a serious face.
Grandma, wearing reading glasses, sat next to grandpa and embroidered the soles of shoes.
And she and her brothers...
This scene is warm and harmonious.
Shen Jiaojiao suddenly missed home.
She wanted to go back and take a look.
She looked at Xu Mo and asked, "When will the house be built?"
"Half a month at best."
They didn't build a big one, just a yard and three rooms, and with the help of all the able-bodied people in the village, half a month was enough.
"Then let's go home once the house is built!"
Xu Mo didn't ask any more questions. He knew that the boy was homesick, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
"Jiaojiao, you miss home, right?"
"Yeah, I miss my parents. And they must know that I'm getting married to you, so are you afraid if you go back?"
It would be a lie to say that you are not afraid.
Shen Tongwen alone is enough of a hassle, not to mention he has two powerful brothers.
Even if he could get past his brother, there was still his grandfather. Xu Mo felt that the commander-in-chief should be the most powerful person in the family.
He felt weak at the thought.
However, even if my legs are weak, I have to go.
"Don't be afraid." Xu Mo said firmly.
Even if he was beaten to death, he would marry Shen Jiaojiao.
"It's okay. My family is very sensible and they will like you very much."
Xu Mo now doubts the truth of this statement.
Shen Jiaojiao did not continue the topic.
She picked up a bottle of wine and looked at the vintage.
Xu Mo then said in a negotiating tone, "Wife, I want to give a bottle of this wine to Dad and my eldest and second brothers, is it okay with you?"
Shen Jiaojiao looked at Xu Mo in confusion, with doubts in her big eyes.
"Xu Mo, you are the man of the family. You don't need to discuss this little thing with me. Besides, it's your duty to respect your parents."
Shen Jiaojiao handed out three bottles of Maotai liquor and urged Xu Mo, "Hurry up! If you go any later, they will almost go to bed."
It’s not that Shen Jiaojiao was stingy and only gave them one bottle per room.
After all, they just drank the wine directly.
It would be better for her to keep them and give them away when they appreciate in value. Wouldn't that give her a greater sense of accomplishment?
Xu Mo felt that his wife was particularly considerate.
She is beautiful and smart.
So he held Shen Jiaojiao's head and kissed her beautiful lips.
"Wife, I'm going to go now. Wait for me to come back."
Xu Mo took the wine and went out.
First he went to Xu Laidong, then to Xu Fugui, and finally to Xu Zhengyang.
Xu Zhengyang hadn't even gotten into bed yet when he saw Xu Mo coming over with a bottle of wine.
He patted Xu Mo's shoulder gratefully.
"Third brother, thank you for coming to drink with me so late at night. I was just about to go out and steal some wine from dad."
Xu Mo: "...Brother, I'm just bringing you some wine."
"Hey! Drink it. It won't hurt to drink with me."
Xu Zhengyang dragged Xu Mo into the house and closed the door.
Shen Jiaojiao was waiting for someone in the room, but until her eyelids began to droop, no one came back.
She is depressed.
How can you get lost while delivering wine?
Just as I was complaining, the door opened.
Xu Mo's tall figure walked in.
"What took you so long?"
Xu Mo walked to the kang, his eyes a little dazed and absent-minded.
"Wife, can I sing a song for you?"
Shen Jiaojiao startled and woke up from her sleep.
She snorted and smelled a faint aroma of alcohol.
Shen Jiaojiao: "..." Oh! What a pity for her bottle of Moutai! These spendthrifts.
Shen Jiaojiao wrapped herself in a quilt and huddled in a corner, wrapping herself tightly.
"No singing, no messing around, go to bed and be quiet."
The memory of the fear and torture she had that night was so deep that she simply couldn't bear it!
Xu Mo: “…”
The man looked at the group in the corner with grievance and sighed.
I took a bath again tonight.
The man took off his shoes and got on the bed, lying on the kang pitifully, completely unable to sleep.
Should he tell his wife that he didn't drink much, but just pretended to drink with his elder brother because he saw that he was very depressed?
In fact, he only took a sip, and the rest of the wine in his glass was poured out by him secretly.
Shen Jiaojiao: Haha, you spendthrift, you actually ruined Maotai like this.
At the same time, Beijing City.
Dark night.
A small car drove slowly from a distance and stopped at the gate of the military compound.
When the guard saw the vehicle's license plate, he let it pass.
Suddenly he remembered something and knocked on the window of the driver's cabin.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing a man wearing a Mao suit and glasses.
The man is gentle and handsome, with a very elegant temperament.
The guard outside saluted politely and said, "Mr. Shen, the guard has your letter and package here."
Shen Hao nodded. "Thank you for your help."
The guard said "as expected" and ran back to the guard room to get a package and two letters.
The back door opened, and the guard put his belongings in, then quietly closed the door.
As the car slowly started and drove away, the guard saluted again and then returned to his post.
In the car, Han Mei took the envelope in her hand, read the sender's name, and screamed "Ah".
This sudden sound startled Shen Hao who was still driving, and he almost crashed into the flower bed in the courtyard.
"What's wrong?" Shen Hao asked gently.
Even though there was almost an accident just now, he did not blame the person in the back seat.
"Do you know who sent these letters? It was my daughter! There were two letters, both from Jiaojiao.
And this package, too.”
Mother Shen held her daughter's letter and was so excited that her eyes became wet.
Jiaojiao never wrote to her before.
This was the first time in my life that I received a letter from my daughter, and I was naturally overwhelmed with joy.
Shen Hao's hands were shaking as he held the steering wheel.
He is calm and reserved, and always remains calm in the face of difficulties.
However, when he heard that the letter was sent by his daughter, the old father burst into tears.
