Chapter 346: Wanquan Wanshuang's Thoughts
After everyone left, Wan Ersao quickly helped Old Lady Wan back to the house.
Seeing that Old Lady Wan looked a little tired, Xiao Fubao and Guihua quickly took off their shoes, got on the kang, and surrounded Old Lady Wan, one of them massaging her back and shoulders.
"Grandma, are you tired? Fubao will give you a massage and you will be fine."
Little Fubao lay down next to Grandma Wan's ear, his voice was soft and sticky. Although his little hands were not very strong, the pinch she made was quite comfortable.
"Grandma, let Guihua massage your legs. Can you take a nap?"
The bitterness in Old Mrs. Wan's heart caused by Wan Quan also dissipated a little.
"You two are my sweethearts. I'm much better now. With you two around, I'm not tired at all."
"Then from now on, Fubao will be with grandma wherever she goes, so that grandma will never be tired."
"Hahaha...Okay, since you said that, grandma will definitely live well."
Old Mrs. Wan laughed so hard that all the depression in her heart disappeared.
He looked at the second Wan and his wife, as well as Liu, and said, "You don't know about my dream. It tormented me for months. Now Quan'er is favored by the emperor and has been promoted. Others see our glory, but who can understand that this is what Quan'er paid for with his life? Quan'er has no mother, this child is pitiful, and now he has finally made a name for himself. Our family can't hold him back. You must be more cautious in the future and don't let anyone catch us and cause trouble for Quan'er."
"Mom, don't worry, our family is not the kind of people who bully others by taking advantage of their power. Don't you know that?"
"I know you are all good people, and our family is a kind one, but I have to tell you what I should say in advance to remind you."
Wan Laoer, Wan Ersao, and Liu all nodded in agreement.
"Mom, this is such a big deal, should we notify our eldest brother and our third brother in town to come back?"
Wan Laoer was thinking about setting up a buffet tomorrow. This was a big event and a matter of honor for the family. He might also have to prepare for ancestor worship to inform them that their family had a successor.
Old Lady Wan was also a little confused at this time. "You said that our family and your eldest brother's family have separated. The imperial edict should have gone to the county town. Why did it go to Shizi Village?"
"I think this should be Quan'er's intention, mother. Quan'er's home in his heart is here, not in the county town. He doesn't talk much, but he knows everything in his heart." Wan Laoer sighed, feeling a little uncomfortable. For such a big happy event, the whole family became a little sentimental.
"Okay, our family has a general, this is a great event, let's all be happy. Second brother, you quickly drive the ox cart to the town and inform them to close the shops and come back to have fun. Then go to the county town and tell your eldest brother the good news."
"Okay, Mom, I'll go right away."
"Hey, haven't you eaten yet? I'm hungry. I'll go make something to eat and you can just eat it for a while. Otherwise, you'll be hungry running around outside." Wan Ersao said anxiously as she pulled Wan Laoer who was about to go out.
Old Mrs. Wan was in a good mood now, and she was a little hungry. It was past dinner time, already past the hour of Wei.
"Okay, let's go after dinner."
Old Mrs. Wan was leaning on the kang, holding little Fubao's hand. Little Fubao quickly threw himself into Old Mrs. Wan's arms, hugged his grandmother and rolled around, acting coquettishly and making the old lady laugh.
When Wan Ersao saw that Old Mrs. Wan was fine, she and Liu went to the kitchen to help.
After a simple meal of noodles, Wan Laoer drove the ox cart to the town.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived in the town, I saw Boss Wan and Shen getting off the carriage in front of the shop.
"Brother? Sister-in-law? Why are you back? I said I would go to the county town to inform you of the news." Wan Laoer was very surprised. Now he didn't have to run back and forth.
Boss Wan quickly ran over and patted Boss Wan's shoulder.
"Second brother, are you here because of Quan'er's matter? I already know everything, so I rushed here with your eldest sister-in-law early in the morning. I just heard about it from the county magistrate last night, but the emperor didn't issue an order to the county magistrate to help our family receive the order, so the county magistrate didn't come. He just told me to come back and take a look."
"So, you know everything, big brother? Quan'er has been appointed as the Lieutenant General of Dezhou by the Emperor. He will be going to Dezhou to take up the post soon. Dezhou is not far from our home. We can go visit Quan'er when the time comes."
Wan Lao Er became happier as he spoke, but he didn't notice the hint of disappointment on Wan Lao Da's face.
"Second brother, why do you think Quaner gave the address as Shizi Village? I am obviously his biological father."
"Brother, don't think too much. Quan'er might be doing this for Mom's sake and wants to make her happy, right?"
Boss Wan nodded and said nothing more, but he still couldn't be happy in his heart. Maybe in the eldest son's heart, he, as a father, was not as good as his second uncle and second aunt.
It was past lunchtime and there were few people in the shop except for Wan Laosi, who was taking a nap against the counter.
"Old Four, wake up, pack up your things and go home."
Wan Laosi woke up from his sleep and as soon as he opened his eyes he saw his eldest and second brothers standing in front of him.
"Big brother, second brother? Why are you here?"
Wan Laosi quickly stood up and walked out from behind the counter.
"Fourth brother, there is a big happy event at home. Our eldest nephew has been given an official title by the emperor. He is the General of the Central Army of Dezhou, a fourth-rank official. Mother is planning to hold a three-day banquet. Let me tell you all to go home and have fun. The shop will be closed for three days."
Wan Laoer's mouth was grinning from ear to ear, and his eyes were filled with joy.
"Really? Second brother, you didn't lie to me? Quan'er became a general?"
Wan Lao Si felt like he was dreaming and pinched Wan Lao Er hard.
Wan Laoer screamed in pain, "Ouch!"
Wan Lao Si clapped his hands and laughed, "It's not a dream, it's not a dream, it's real."
Wan Lao Er didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted Wan Lao Si on the head: "You kid, are you dreaming? Why are you pinching yourself, why are you pinching me?"
Wan Laosi didn't care. He was as happy as a child at this moment. He hadn't played with his brothers for a long time, and now he was simply letting himself go.
He trotted all the way to the backyard and told the good news to Wan Sansao and Wan Laoer.
Unexpectedly, the first person to rush out was Wan Shuang.
"Dad, Second Uncle, my eldest brother has become a general?"
The second and the first Wan smiled and nodded at the same time.
Wan Shuang clenched his fists tightly, then suddenly squatted on the ground, covering his face and crying.
Boss Wan and Shen were both shocked.
"Shuang'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
Wan Shuang didn't say anything and only stood up when he had almost finished crying.
"Dad, I am happy. My eldest brother finally achieved his dream and became successful. I know he must have paid for it with his life, but he did it. He succeeded."
Wan Shuang looked at Boss Wan while crying.
He thought of the words his brother had said to him before he left. He remembered them all. Now they could finally spread their wings and fly high. Even if his stepmother had her own children in the future, Hu Zi would not be wronged because he had a brother who was a general.
It turned out that in the minds of the two brothers, because the status of the Shen family was not equal to that of Boss Wan, they always felt that they were suppressed by the Shen family. Now that Wan Quan has become very successful, it means that they can set up their own business in the future, and the Shen family will no longer be a threat to them.
Shen: So you guys look at me like this, I feel wronged...
