Chapter 158: Parenthood (Ending 4)
As soon as my mother mentioned my aunt's home in the capital, Meng'er fell asleep.
However, Chen Qi was moved and she counted the itinerary of the brother and sister on her fingers. After thinking for a long time, she didn't realize that her husband had already finished the drawing.
Xie Yuduo walked to the front of the couch and flashed in front of Shen Qi.
"Yue'er, aren't you tired of calculating it every day?"
Chen Qi snorted and raised her hand to slap his hand away.
"What do you know? A mother worries about her son even when he's thousands of miles away. This is my nature as a mother. As a father, you're just too hard-hearted."
Xie Yuduo smiled, but took her hand and pulled her into his arms.
"My father is not as kind-hearted as you, but at least he has some cold, hard money, which he spent like water all the way. Don't worry, they will ensure that everything goes well."
Chen Qi thought about it and smiled with relief.
This guy is very meticulous and generous, not to mention that they are his own children. He must have put a lot of thought and money into letting two teenagers go on a long journey without worrying about it.
Fortunately, my family has the least of these things.
Before leaving Beijing, Xie Yuduo and Shen Qi discussed where the family of five would settle down.
Chen Qi already had an idea in mind.
"Ever since our wedding night, I've been listening to you tell me about the things you encountered on your long journeys. You've been talking about it for so many years, but I haven't been anywhere. Why don't you take me on a personal tour?"
Xie Yuduo raised his eyebrows.
"really?"
"More real than pearls!"
Sure enough, the family of five left the capital and headed south, walking, playing, touring and strolling.
When Xie Yuduo set out on his journey, he was only about twenty years old, alone, suffering from the bitter wind and rain, and without any worries.
Now, he is wealthy, surrounded by four beloved ones, big and small, and surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers. He feels more ambitious than when he was young.
Whenever he arrived at a quiet and happy place, Chen Qi would always look out for good houses. He bought seven or eight large houses in good cities, along with hundreds of acres of good land, and arranged for people to take good care of them. Then he set off again and continued his journey.
Xie Yuduo asked her curiously, "You've always been frugal, so why are you willing to spend money now?"
Chen Qi smiled slightly: "A cunning rabbit has three burrows. We are losing too much money to the government. It is better to spend the money and buy some places to stay. No matter where we go in the future, we will have a home."
This house in Jiangnan is one of the caves.
At that moment, Chen Qi saw Meng'er fell asleep and touched her pink little face.
"Now that her brother and sister are gone, she has no one to play with. You two are so close, she sticks to you all the time and follows you around every day."
Xie Yuduo looked at his daughter sleeping soundly with her head resting on Shen Qi's legs, so he picked her up and held her in his arms, looking at her rosy cheeks.
"Of course. Ming'er and Huailang were better when they were young, but when they grew up, they didn't pay much attention to me. They only told you when they had something on their mind. I have to take advantage of Meng'er's youth and play with her for a few years, so that she won't forget how much her father loves her."
Shen Qi smiled.
"She was too busy before, but now everything is fine. With a father as lame as you, she will definitely not forget you."
The little guy in his arms turned over, smacked his lips, and slept even more soundly in his daddy's arms.
"I see she's soundly asleep. Don't hold her in your arms all the time. Put her in the big bed. She slept in her little bed all night last night, and she kept making a fuss before dinner tonight, saying she was scared. I agreed to take her to sleep with me tonight."
Xie Yuduo frowned. This girl pleased him in every way except that she insisted on sleeping with her mother and father, which was the thing that displeased him the most.
"You're already so old, why do you still want to sleep in a big bed? You'll be sleeping in a small bed by tomorrow morning."
Shen Qi kissed the cheek of her daughter in his arms, then looked up at him with a sincere expression.
"My dear, you really have a daughter in your old age this time, so you must pamper her a lot."
That night, Xiao Meng'er slept in the big bed as she wished.
The next day, Xie Huaimeng dressed neatly, put on the small backpack, raised his little hands, and waited for his father to carry him on the horse's back.
Xie Yuduo rubbed her head.
"Let's not go into the mountain today. Let's go to the herb garden at the foot of the mountain. The aunts picking herbs there have missed you."
Meng'er thought about it for a moment and nodded, thinking that she could collect a lot of medicinal herbs from her own medicine garden and could support two more shops.
"good!"
"Yue'er, come with us."
Shen Qi waved her hand.
"I won't go. It's in the dirt and mud. I find it dirty."
"I won't let you dig for medicinal herbs."
"So what do you want me to do?"
Xie Yuduo said nothing, picked her up, held her waist and put her on the horse, then put Meng'er in front of her, climbed on the horse himself, and walked slowly with the reins.
When Huai Meng saw that his mother was going too, he danced with joy and chattered about how he would take his mother to dig this and then that...
The little girl didn't notice that her father was whispering something in her mother's ear.
"Yesterday, I discovered a wonderful hot spring in the mountains... I left the girl in the herb garden and said I wanted to play hide-and-seek with her. Then we went to the hot spring and did some of our favorite things..."
Shen Qi couldn't help but smile.
"You are truly the most shameless scoundrel..."
The warm breeze blows, the green forest is hidden, the horse's hooves step on the flowers, and it slowly moves towards the mountains.
What's going on in the mountains? Pine blossoms make wine, spring water makes tea.
