They set off after the Spring Festival.

Looking at the closed door and the word "Fu" pasted on it, Xiaoguo's eyes became moist. She was reluctant to leave.

Zhuangzhuang was reluctant to leave. Only when he looked at his father, mother and younger brothers beside him did he feel more at ease.

"Let's go. It's not like we won't come back."

Jiang Shanhe kissed her forehead with pity and said.

They will come back. This is their home. Their roots are here, their families are here, and they will come back no matter how far away they are.

Xiaoguo nodded, hugged the child tightly in her arms and got on the carriage.

The carriage started to move slowly. Xiaoguo looked towards Mrs. Yang's house, and the reluctance in her eyes became even stronger.

Sister, she will come back.

Suddenly, the crying of the child in her arms drew her attention back. It seemed that the child was hungry. Xiaoguo unbuttoned her clothes skillfully.

Mrs. Yang waited until the carriage left before she came out from behind the door, wiped the tears from her face, and waved in that direction reluctantly.

Sister, you must come back more often!

The purpose of going to the capital was, firstly, to get a strong education, and secondly, to accompany Jiang Shanhe.

The family of five finally lived together for a long time.

The happiest people about their family living in the capital were Shao Zhan and his son Xiao Yi.

After the two elders Kong returned to the capital, they moved back to the mansion and lived with their entire family. The whole family was very happy. They had been reluctant to see the two elders leave, and it was great that they could come back now!

Zhuangzhuang's classes cannot be missed, and Shao Zhan also lets Xiaoyi and Zhuangzhuang take Confucius' class together. This naughty boy is only obedient when he is with Zhuangzhuang. He doesn't listen to his father but only listens to little Zhuangzhuang. With Zhuangzhuang watching him, Shao Zhan feels relieved.

However, considering Confucius' advanced age, the classes were held at his home.

Xiaoyi, who usually loves to stay in bed, is extremely happy every day when he thinks about going to class with Zhuangzhuang. He gets up without being called, stops skipping classes, and stops playing tricks on people around him.

In addition to Confucius's lesson, Shao Zhan also prepared another lesson for the two of them. Since they already had the literature lesson, the martial arts lesson certainly could not be missing.

After settling down, Jiang Shanhe kept his word and brought his family back to Taohua Village to stay for seven or eight days every two months.

The round trip plus the time spent staying here is not short.

Although it was excessive, Shao Zhan agreed very generously. Since Jiang Shanhe could stay in the capital steadily in the future and his work was not neglected, there was no reason not to agree.

Homesickness is not so unbearable because I go home so often. Anyway, we will see each other again soon.

We just live a little further away, but our feelings are not affected at all.

Since moving into the general's mansion, Jiang Shanhe has tidied up the garden for Xiaoguo and planted a variety of flowers in the garden. The fragrance of flowers fills the entire general's mansion.

Even when Jiang Shanhe met his colleagues, everyone praised him, saying that he was different with his wife by his side and that he smelled like flowers.

In the face of these teasings, he never said a word, but you could see a happy expression on his face.

The summer in Beijing is much hotter than in Taohua Village.

Just as Xiao Guo was about to change the two babies into thin clothes, Jiang Danhe came back.

She took a moment out of her busy schedule to glance at him and asked, "Why are you here so early today?"

"Nothing, I'll come back early to accompany you."

Jiang Shanhe took off his clothes in front of her and changed into casual clothes. In the meantime, he moved his body intentionally or unintentionally to show his strong muscles. He would not say explicitly that it was to seduce Xiaoguo.

When he shyly turned around to see if Xiaoguo was fascinated by him, he saw that she had no time to pay attention to him and had already devoted herself to the two fat babies on the bed.

Jiang Shanhe's eyes darkened and he angrily threw the clothes onto the hanger. He sat alone at the table in silence, staring at the mother and her two sons on the bed with resentment, mainly at Xiaoguo. Zhuangzhuang was at home to take care of Zhuangzhuang, and now that Zhuangzhuang was not at home, she had to take care of her two sons, and her husband was actually at the end of the list and could not be taken care of.

After Xiaoguo put clothes on Dapang and Erpang, she took a towel beside her and wiped their bodies.

I don’t know if it’s because Xiaoguo’s milk is nutritious enough or because the two children absorb it well, but Dapang and Erpang are getting fatter and fatter, even fatter than they were at the beginning.

As I was thinking about it, a strong, clear and pleasant voice came from outside.

"Mother~Mother~"

Xiao Guo was delighted and took out another handkerchief, waiting for the little man to come in.

Seeing Xiaoguo's expectant look, Jiang Shanhe became even more angry. Since he came home and entered the house, Xiaoguo has only said one word to him, and the most important thing is! She didn't even wipe her sweat!

Zhuangzhuang is six years old now. Since last year, he has started to grow taller. The nutrients he eats no longer grow horizontally, but all grow vertically.

The six-year-old boy grew as fast as Jiang Shanhe, and he grew even faster after the New Year, now reaching Xiaoguo's waist. It was impossible for her to pick him up now like she did a few years ago.

Zhuangzhuang didn't let Xiaoguo wait too long. He ran in with his mouth wide open. His little face was red and puffy, but it didn't affect his handsomeness at all.

After coming to the capital, Zhuangzhuang also got to know many children of other ministers, but like Xiaoyi, he didn't like playing with them. However, those people liked playing with him very much. The reason for this was half because of this handsome little face that had not fully grown up.

There's nothing you can do about it. It really looks good when it grows strong. It has all the advantages of Jiang Danhe and small fruits. Anyone who sees it can't help but say, how can it grow so tall?

"Mother~"

Zhuangzhuang threw himself into Xiaoguo's arms and let her wipe the sweat off his face and take off his coat. He was enjoying it very much. His little hands did not forget to touch his two younger brothers who were reaching out to grab his mother from behind.

Suddenly, he glanced with his big eyes and saw Jiang Shanhe, who looked a little lonely. He changed his mind and called out with a smile, "Dad."

"Oh~" Jiang Shanhe was about to cry. His eldest son finally found out that his father was there.

Xiaoguo smiled secretly. How could she not feel such a strong resentment? She had indeed neglected him a little these days. It seemed that she had to find a chance to make it up to him.

–

Xiaoguo's birthday was in June, and Jiang Shanhe brought his family back to Taohua Village to celebrate her birthday.

After coaxing the three children to sleep at night, Jiang Shanhe came into the house from outside and gave her a book mysteriously.

After Xiaoguo opened it, he found that it was actually a super thick hand-painted photo album!

"What is this?!" Xiao Guo looked through every hand-drawn painting in disbelief, then looked up at Jiang Shanhe who was smiling, and was instantly moved to tears.

"A birthday present for you."

Jiang Shanhe kissed her forehead tenderly and said, "Happy birthday, my lady."

"Thank you." Xiaoguo wiped her tears and kissed him as well.

Seeing his increasingly dark pupils, I quickly changed the subject and asked, "When did you start preparing?"

As I asked, I flipped through the pictures, and what came into my mind was the scene when she was just diagnosed with pregnancy and lying in the hospital. I had no idea until I saw it, and I laughed so hard that my cramps came over me.

Was her expression so stiff at that time?

"Don't you want to freeze a moment? Although I can't take a photo like you asked, I can draw it for you."

Xiaoguo thought about it and realized that a long time ago, when she was watching Zhuangzhuang climbing a tree, she suddenly thought the sunset was beautiful, so she mentioned it. She didn't expect that he actually remembered it and took action!

The album includes the little moments of their time together, the competition between the men’s and women’s teams during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the scene of a few people watching fireworks during the Spring Festival in Beijing... her early to mid-late pregnancy, childbirth, Zhuangzhuang’s birthday, the full-month banquet, Ge and Ruyi’s wedding, the Spring Festival, moving, the days after arriving in Beijing, Zhuangzhuang’s class, learning archery, the moment when Da Pang and Er Pang could turn over, the moment when they could crawl, and the moment when the twins grabbed Zhuangzhuang’s hair...

The ink on the last page was not yet dry, and it captured the moment when Xiaoguo closed her eyes and made a wish as her friends gathered together to celebrate her birthday.

There are a few more small words at the end, to be continued...
