Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua stayed in the hot spring villa, which was much warmer than other places in Yuan'an. It was not so cold, and Yuan Bohua's joints did not hurt as much.
Although it was not completely painless, at least the pain was bearable for Yuan Bohua.
When the weather is good, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua have someone light a charcoal stove and then they barbecue around the stove under the porch in the yard.
Sometimes, when they were in the mood, they would get up in the middle of the night and snuggle together on the soft couch by the window, falling asleep while listening to the sound of rain outside.
After dinner in the evening, the two would walk hand in hand in the farm.
Even Yuan Bohua would accompany Zhou Qiongyue to read her stupid storybooks and discuss the plot with her. Occasionally, when they saw something infuriating, they would curse together.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua lived a very happy life at the hot spring villa. They did not feel lonely at all because their children were not around.
On the contrary, the two of them had a feeling of letting themselves go. After all, there were younger generations around them, and as elders, they still had to behave properly.
If Zhou Qiongyue had just gotten married with a respectful attitude at the beginning, now Zhou Qiongyue feels that she loves this man.
Although Yuan Bohua also has his bad points, he has always been very good to her.
They have been as good as ever for decades, even if it is fake, Zhou Qiongyue now feels that she has accepted it.
Zhou Qiongyue's attitude towards Yuan Bohua has changed from a life partner at the beginning to a relative later, and now to a lover.
Zhou Qiongyue feels that the older she gets, the less afraid of losing she is.
He also felt the change in Yuan Bohua's attitude towards Zhou Qiongyue. While he was happy, he didn't want to die even more.
If there was one thing Yuan Bohua regretted most in his life, it might be that when he was young, he was so eager to go to the battlefield that he didn't spend time with his wife and children.
When he returned with success, Yue'er and he were no longer young, and the child had grown up. He had missed a lot of their time together.
But Yuan Bohua's regret only lasted for a moment, because he knew that if he had not gone to the battlefield, he might regret it even more.
Many choices in life are like this. No matter which one you choose, you will regret it.
Yuan Bohua feels that it is okay to feel regret occasionally, but there is no need to be hard on oneself.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua's shift in mindset has made them both clingier to each other. Perhaps love simply means wanting to be with each other at all times, feeling happy even when doing nothing.
When Yuan Chaokang finished dealing with everything and came to the hot spring villa again, he was embarrassed to find that there was no room for him between his father and mother.
So Yuan Chaokang stayed at the hot spring villa for a few days and did not return to Yuan'an. He moved to his own hot spring villa not far away.
His father and mother are so in love with each other, it really doesn't fit for him to be here.
As for returning to Yuan'an, his father and mother were here, and Yuan Chaokang was afraid that if he had a headache or a fever, there would be no one around to take charge of the situation.
The elderly are most likely to catch colds in winter. Yuan Chaokang never does anything that he will regret later.
In previous years, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua lived in the manor during the winter, but they would pack up and return to Yuan'an when the Chinese New Year was approaching.
The prince's health could not withstand any more pain this year. Zhou Qiongyue submitted a memorial to the palace for the first time, asking the prince for leave during the New Year's Eve banquet.
The emperor knew that Prince Fu'an was in poor health, and he and the queen mother often rewarded him with medicinal herbs.
Moreover, when he contracted smallpox, he survived with the encouragement of Prince Fu'an. The emperor sincerely hoped that this uncle could live a few more years.
So the emperor approved Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua's leave without saying a word.
Given Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua’s current status, even if they don’t go to the palace to attend the New Year’s Eve banquet, no one will think that Prince Fu’an’s Mansion has lost the emperor’s favor.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua would not return to Yuan'an, but Yuan Chaokang still had to go back. As a prince, Yuan Chaokang had to attend such a grand occasion as the New Year's Eve banquet, unless it was a big event.
Yuan Chaokang was of course worried about his father and mother if he went back alone, so Yuan Chaokang waited for his twelve-year-old eldest son Yuan Hantao to come to the hot spring villa to accompany his father and mother, and then Yuan Chaokang packed up and prepared to return to Yuan'an.
Yuan Chaokang's eldest son, Yuan Hantao, has been exceptionally intelligent since childhood. Now at the age of twelve, he is already able to stand on his own.
Moreover, Yuan Hantao is a black sesame filling. With his eldest son in charge of the hot spring villa, Yuan Chaokang dared to return to Yuan'an with peace of mind.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua are very familiar with the eldest son of their youngest son's family, and they can even say that they have a good relationship.
The main thing is that Yuan Hantao is a really caring child in front of Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua, the kind of child who is not exaggerated at all.
For example, after Yuan Hantao came to the manor, he took over all the affairs of the manor and arranged three meals a day that suited their tastes and were healthy.
This shows Yuan Hantao's filial piety and skill. Yuan Bohua privately lamented to Zhou Qiongyue countless times that his youngest son was lucky. With such a son, there would be no worries for two or three generations.
Relatively speaking, Yuan Bohua was not so satisfied with his eldest son's son Yuan Hanyu, but he was just not good enough in development, but he was more than capable of defending the city.
Like now, it was just a normal chat after dinner, and Yuan Hantao could easily make Yuan Bohua laugh.
In fact, Yuan Hantao was very happy to come to the village to accompany his grandparents.
His father and mother always have high expectations of him, and he will get tired after a while.
But his grandparents were different; they simply doted on him, a younger generation. He could sleep until he woke up naturally, or spend days without putting his hands down and reading. His freedom was ridiculous.
He felt that he was a capable adult in front of others, but only when he was with his grandparents was he the lazy child.
Although it is not possible to live this kind of life all the time, he feels that it is necessary to live this kind of life occasionally.
As for managing the affairs of a farm, it was a piece of cake for Yuan Hantao, who was already twelve years old. He had been exposed to his father's business and influence since he was eight years old.
The three of them had a very warm and comfortable first year at the hot spring village. Zhou Qiongyue and her grandchildren ate beef hotpot, then roasted fragrant chestnuts, chatting and watching over each other.
Yuan Hantao felt that this was not more enjoyable than eating cold meals in the palace. So Yuan Hantao's wish for the coming year was that "next year, the king would send him to spend the New Year with his grandparents."
This is also the first year that Zhou Qiongyue has spent without entering the palace since she came to this era.
Zhou Qiongyue used to spend every New Year's Eve and New Year in the palace. She felt that this year was the happiest year she had ever had.
