Wei Hanzhou looked at his wife in front of him, a trace of confusion in his expression.

If he remembered correctly, before he left last time, his wife seemed to be quite polite and enthusiastic towards him. How come her attitude suddenly changed after not seeing her for a month?

Before he could figure it out, he saw Liu Tangxi sniffing and wrapping his coat tightly around himself.

Seeing this, Wei Hanzhou frowned slightly, turned around and closed the door.

Seeing the door closed, Liu Tangxi let out a long sigh, then lowered her head and continued to embroider.

The wedding dress in front of me is almost finished. If I move it now, it will definitely be messed up. It is better to finish these last few stitches first.

As for Wei Hanzhou, she really had no time to take care of him at the moment.

Wei Hanzhou felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that Liu Tangxi was not very enthusiastic towards him.

However, seeing her conscientiously embroidering with her head down, I couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

I have to say, the scene he saw when he first came in had a huge impact on him.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a pretty woman sitting in a pile of bright red wedding gowns, embroidering with her head bowed. Her head was slightly lowered, revealing a neck as white as jade.

Before she opened her mouth, he thought this girl was gentle and calm.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, this gentle and calm atmosphere was broken.

The word baby...

Wei Hanzhou pursed his lips and looked at the girl in front of him who continued to embroider with her head down. He took the initiative to ask a question: "What are you doing?"

"Don't you see? It's embroidering a wedding dress."

“Who is it for?”

"The daughter of a county official."

"Oh." Wei Hanzhou responded.

After asking, Wei Hanzhou stopped talking.

Liu Tangxi didn't say anything, but lowered her head and began to embroider seriously.

After a while, Liu Tangxi finished embroidering the wedding dress.

Looking at the result of his hard work for more than half a month, Liu Tangxi showed a happy smile on his face.

After picking up the wedding dress and shaking it off, Liu Tangxi saw Wei Hanzhou was still in the room, wondering what he was thinking, so he asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Wei Hanzhou came back to his senses, looked at the face that looked like gardenia petals, and then looked at the red wedding dress. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he responded vaguely: "Hmm."

Although they had been married for a long time, his father was seriously ill on the day of the wedding, so the two of them had a hasty wedding ceremony and the wedding was over. Although he had a good memory, he did not remember the circumstances of the wedding day very clearly.

Moreover, she seemed to have been wanting to escape that day, which was very different from her current temperament.

As for what she was wearing that day and what expression she had on her face, he really couldn't remember.

It was as if the person that day was a strange girl, completely different from the one in front of me.

"Hey, what are you looking at? I asked you if my embroidery is beautiful, but who asked you if I am good-looking? I am good-looking, do I need you to tell me?" Liu Tangxi said with some displeasure when she saw Wei Hanzhou was looking at her face instead of what she was embroidering.

This was the result of her hard work, and she fully expected to receive some praise.

Wei Hanzhou lowered his eyes and glanced at Xiu's words, then said, "It looks good."

Seeing that Wei Hanzhou didn't really mean what he said, Liu Tangxi muttered, "You really don't know how to appreciate it."

As expected, she couldn't have any expectations of a cold man like Wei Hanzhou. She should let her two sisters-in-law and the little ones take a look at him later.

As she spoke, Liu Tangxi put away the embroidery work in her hands.

While packing, she thought that the shopkeeper would come to collect the money in a few days, and by then, she would have five taels of silver deposited into her account. She suddenly felt happy, and her dissatisfaction with Wei Hanzhou diminished a lot.

Seeing that Liu Tangxi really didn't seem to want to pay attention to him, Wei Hanzhou stood there for a while and then went out.

Liu Tangxi really didn't care and continued to immerse himself in his own thoughts.

Now the life of the Third Wei family is getting better and better, and the food is much better than before. If she calculates carefully, by next autumn, she will be able to save enough money for Wei Hanzhou to take part in the autumn examination, and she won't have to do anything more. Although she has a golden finger, she can't show it too often, otherwise, too many abnormal things will be regarded as a demon, and she might be caught as a monster before she even returns to the capital.

She has always been a timid person, so she'd better be cautious in her actions.

When she goes to the capital in the future, she will have plenty of opportunities to use it.

Then she won't have to worry anymore.

With this golden finger, she can make money and establish herself in this dynasty.

After embroidering the wedding dress, Liu Tangxi felt relaxed. The next day, after teaching the two little girls in the morning, she did not embroider in the afternoon.

Looking up at the yellow mountain behind him, Liu Tangxi asked with a smile, "Do you want to go to the mountain with Auntie San to play?"

Fu Yao and Shu Lan were still young, so they naturally didn’t like staying at home all day embroidering. When they heard the adults say they could go out and play, they happily agreed immediately.

Zhang and Zhou didn't say anything when they saw this.

Mrs. Li knew that her third daughter-in-law had been staying indoors embroidering these days. When she learned that she had finished, she smiled and said, "It's time to relax. The third daughter-in-law has been working hard recently. How about I give you some money and you go to town to have some fun?"

Liu Tangxi quickly refused.

"No need, mom. I'll just walk around here."

She had been to the town several times before, and it was just so-so, nothing attractive. Besides, going to the town was too far and too tiring for her, and she didn't want to walk that far.

"Okay, then you guys go to the back hill."

The three were about to go out when they saw Bosheng coming out of the main room.

Seeing the longing in Bosheng's eyes, Liu Tangxi immediately understood and asked, "Bosheng, do you also want to go play with Auntie and your sisters?"

Bosheng hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"Then let's go together?" Liu Tangxi invited him.

Hearing this, Bosheng seemed to be somewhat tempted, but he didn't know what he was thinking about, and rejected her proposal: "Auntie...Auntie, I...I won't go."

"Why?" Liu Tangxi asked in surprise.

Bosheng pursed his lips and glanced in the direction of the study.

Liu Tangxi understood what he meant at a glance.

Not only Wei Hanzhou had studied for a month, Bosheng had also studied for a month, but he finally got a vacation and bumped into Wei Hanzhou. I really don't know whether to say congratulations or sigh that he was so unlucky.

Yesterday afternoon, as soon as Wei Hanzhou got home, he started to test Bosheng's homework.

Since the exam, Bosheng has not appeared in front of everyone and went back to his room to review his lessons.

Now, seeing Bosheng's depressed look, Liu Tangxi felt very distressed.

Learning requires a balance between work and rest, especially for a beginner like Bosheng. It would be unbearable for him to study for such a long time without any rest time. Moreover, it would easily make him hate learning.

Liu Tangxi felt both distressed for Bosheng and dissatisfied with Wei Hanzhou.

Holding back his unhappiness, Liu Tangxi said, "Studying requires a balance between work and rest. You haven't had a holiday for a month, so you should take a good rest. You are different from your third uncle. He is an adult, and you are still a child."

"But...but..." Bosheng was very hesitant.

"Don't worry, Auntie San will go talk to your Uncle San."

"Well, let's not go. Third Uncle is doing this for my own good." Bosheng quickly grabbed Liu Tangxi's sleeve and whispered, "I'm not going."

Since going to school in town, Bosheng has become more sensible. Seeing Bosheng's lost face, Liu Tangxi felt very distressed. He touched his face and wanted to say a few words of comfort. However, before he could say anything, the voice of Wei Laosan came from behind.

"Bosheng, go and play with your aunt and sisters. You've been studying hard this month, so it's okay to play for a while. When your uncle was your age, he hadn't started school yet."

Upon hearing this, Bosheng's originally lost eyes immediately brightened up.

"Grandpa, can I really go?" Bosheng asked excitedly.

Wei Lao San smiled and said, "Sure, go ahead, just don't miss dinner time."

"Okay, I understand." Bosheng said excitedly.

Wei Lao San is the head of the Wei family, so his words are certainly effective. After hearing this, Bo Sheng no longer cared about Wei Hanzhou and ran to Liu Tangxi excitedly.

Li had nothing to do, so she planned to go with them, carrying a basket and picking up some firewood.

Liu Tangxi also took a basket.

After reaching the mountain, looking at the fallen leaves and yellow branches, Liutang Creek not only did not feel the bleakness of late autumn, but instead felt a different kind of beauty.

She felt that the scenery on the mountain was much more beautiful than before.

The yellow leaves fell all over the ground, changing the color of the whole mountain. Not only that, some of the leaves fell into the stream, and they flowed down the stream like a small boat.

Looking at such beautiful scenery, Liu Tangxi's mood also became very good.

Li was used to this kind of scenery and picked up some firewood as she walked.

Liu Tangxi also lowered her head and picked up something. However, she picked up leaves, which were easier to light when dried, and could be used as kindling when cooking.

A few children gathered around, picking up branches and leaves. For some reason, they started making noises while picking up leaves.

You threw a leaf at me, and I threw the leaf at your head, and then we all started laughing as we were throwing leaves.

Shulan was short and young, so she was no match for Bosheng and Shulan, and was pelted with leaves by the two of them.

"Ah, my brother is so bad, and my sister is bad too." Shu Lan said while picking the leaves on her head.

Fu Yao and Bo Sheng had already gone to play nearby, and she couldn't catch up with them.

Seeing this, Liu Tangxi went forward to help Shulan, removed the leaves on her head, and tidied her clothes.

After finishing, Shulan looked at Bosheng and Fuyao who were playing together with a bit of disappointment.

Bosheng and Fuyao were about the same age, and they had always played together, going out every day to play and fight with the boys in the village.

Shulan was young and gentle, so she seldom went out to play with them.

However, in the past few months, Bosheng learned to read with her, and Fuyao learned to read and embroider with her, and her relationship with both of them improved a lot.

Seeing that the two of them didn't bring her to play, she naturally felt a little disappointed.

Noticing Shulan's low mood, Liu Tangxi squatted down, touched her hair, and asked in a low voice: "Do you want revenge?"

Shu Lan blinked, seeming to not understand what Liu Tangxi meant.

Liu Tangxi picked up some leaves on the ground and put them in Shulan's hands, then looked at Bosheng and Fuyao who were playing.

Shu Lan immediately understood what Liu Tangxi meant, her eyes sparkling, and she nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Liu Tangxi put his index finger on his mouth, signaling Shulan not to speak.

Shulan quickly covered her mouth tightly with her chubby hands.

Liu Tangxi brought Shulan slowly towards Bosheng and Fuyao.

While they were not paying attention, Shu Lan sprinkled leaves on Bo Sheng and Fu Yao.

Liu Tangxi wanted to quickly pick up Shulan and run, but Shulan was too real. After throwing her away, she didn't run at all, but just stood there and giggled.

Fu Yao and Bo Sheng were stunned for a moment when they saw Liu Tangxi and Shu Lan like this, then they immediately picked up leaves and started throwing them at Shu Lan.

Seeing this, Liu Tangxi pulled Shulan and ran.

Afterwards, several people laughed and joked together.

Wei Hanzhou estimated that it was about time, so he wanted to come up and help carry firewood downstairs.

However, as soon as I reached the foot of the mountain, I heard laughter coming from above. In addition to the laughter of children, there was also a clear sound.

Wei Hanzhou was not very familiar with this laughter, but he had a basic judgment that it was not his mother's, so it must be Liu Tangxi's.

There is no doubt that she must have played with the children.

Thinking of how she had secretly eaten grapes before, Wei Hanzhou chuckled.

When he climbed up a little and reached a flat place, he saw Liu Tangxi with the children.

However, what he saw still surprised him.

An adult actually played with the children.

However, that pleasant laughter makes people feel happy unconsciously.

Wei Hanzhou was about to step forward when Li, who was sitting nearby to rest, came over.

"mother."

Li looked at Liu Tangxi who was playing with the children and said with a smile, "Third brother, look how much your wife loves children and is very good at taking care of them. You should have a baby with her as soon as possible."

Wei Hanzhou was embarrassed. He pursed his lips and said nothing.

"I know you were not happy with your wife before, but she has been married for so long. I don't need to tell you what kind of person she is. You know it in your heart. Don't look so cold every day. I think she is a good match for you."

Wei Hanzhou couldn't possibly tell the truth, so he looked up at Liu Tangxi who was playing with the children and said, "Well, son knows."

Seeing her son agreed, Li smiled.

Before her son got married, she was anxious to find a wife for him. After her son got married, she began to worry about his having children.

As long as her son has a baby, she won't have to worry anymore.

"Mother will go down first. You and your wife can carry these two baskets of firewood down."

"Um."

As soon as Li left, Wei Hanzhou was also spotted at Liutang Creek.

As soon as they saw Wei Hanzhou coming, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared except Shu Lan.

"Uncle San, we are here~" Shu Lan greeted Wei Hanzhou with a smile.

Wei Hanzhou put on a stern face and walked over.

As Wei Hanzhou got closer, Bosheng had already moved several steps behind Liu Tangxi. Fu Yao hurriedly threw away the leaves in his hand and secretly patted the dirt on his hands.

After Wei Hanzhou approached, he looked up at the four of them.

That look made Liu Tangxi feel very unsure.

Just as Wei Hanzhou was about to speak, Liu Tangxi saw Bosheng begin to tremble, so he spoke first.

"I asked Bosheng to come up here. He didn't want to play. If you feel unhappy, you can tell me."

Wei Hanzhou glanced at Liu Tangxi, then turned his head to look at his nephew who was hiding behind Liu Tangxi.

"Don't scare him. He has only been in school for a short time. He has lost weight due to hunger. Studying is so hard. You should let him have some fun." Liu Tangxi continued to speak well of Bosheng.

Wei Hanzhou kept his eyes on Bosheng, opened his mouth and asked, "Really?"

As time went by, Liu Tangxi began to feel uneasy.

At this moment, Bosheng stood up, lowered his head, and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle San, it wasn't Aunt San who asked me to come out to play. I came up with it on my own."

After hearing this, Wei Hanzhou's expression became much better.

"Tomorrow is a day off, no need to study."

After saying this, Wei Hanzhou carried Li's basket of firewood on his back and went down the mountain.

It was not until Wei Hanzhou had been gone for a while that the others reacted.

Bosheng looked at Liu Tangxi standing beside him with a look of disbelief.

Liu Tangxi also laughed, pinched Bosheng's little face, and said, "Your uncle said he would give you a holiday, are you happy?"

"Happy." Bosheng said with a smile.

Fu Yao patted his chest and muttered softly: "I'm scared to death."

Liu Tangxi turned around and touched her hair.

Then, a few people started playing again, and this time they had more fun than before.

When Wei Hanzhou went down the mountain with the basket on his back, he discovered that those people were still on the mountain and had not come down at all.

Putting down the basket, Wei Hanzhou sighed and went up the mountain again.

The basket containing the leaves was still the same as before, without any change.

Wei Hanzhou looked up at the largest one and said, "The sun has set. It's getting late. We should go back."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped what they were doing, and Liu Tangxi also lowered his head to start arranging leaves.

Three little kids also helped.

When going down the mountain, Xiaodouding walked in front, and Liu Tangxi and Wei Hanzhou followed behind.

Seeing Wei Hanzhou with a stern face and carrying leaves on his back, Liu Tangxi suddenly felt that the Wei Hanzhou in front of him was quite humane.

However, although he has a sharp tongue, he has a soft heart and his face is colder than others.

Seeing that they had already gone down the mountain and the three little kids had also run back home, Liu Tangxi whispered in Wei Hanzhou's ear: "Husband, you obviously feel sorry for Bosheng and even gave him a day off, so why are you talking with such a stern face? How can this be bad?"

Wei Hanzhou stopped, glanced at Liu Tangxi, and said something he had been holding back for a long time: "Is it okay for me to be like you, disrespectful and play with the kids?"

Although Wei Hanzhou was mocking her, for some reason, an image suddenly popped up in Liu Tangxi's mind.

When Liu Tangxi thought of the scene of Wei Hanzhou playing with three little kids, he laughed uncontrollably.

She really couldn't imagine how Wei Hanzhou, an elder with no expression and who liked to put on airs, could play with the younger generation.

Wei Hanzhou frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand why she was laughing.

Seeing that Wei Hanzhou looked unhappy, Liu Tangxi laughed and said, "Haha, sorry, I really couldn't help it. When I heard my husband say that he wanted to play with Fu Yao and the others, I wanted to laugh when I thought about that scene."

After hearing this explanation, Wei Hanzhou's face darkened immediately. He glared at Liu Tangxi and walked back home.
