Chapter 261 I am content and happy to have you in my life
He pinched his granddaughter's pigtails, with love in his eyes and eyebrows.
Once upon a time, he and his wife wanted a boy who could inherit the Xiao family. They wanted a fat grandson, but now, their granddaughter has successfully surpassed the eldest grandson in the palace and the second grandson in the family. The granddaughter has become the couple's favorite child.
Look, who can not like this little sweetheart who is so sweet-mouthed, knows how to act coquettishly and coax people?
Although Congyuan was cute when he was a child, and Chuanjia was very capable after inheriting Ling Zhao's true skills, Shengnan, who was both capable and sweet-talking, was their treasure.
When Shen Yuanwei arrived, the old general was already about to be coaxed into a fetus by his obedient granddaughter.
The old man was holding his granddaughter's hand and giving her secret instructions.
"Shengnan, you should practice martial arts well. If you become better than your brother in martial arts in the future, you can stay at home and be the pillar of our Xiao family. If you come to marry into our family, we will pass on the inheritance of our Xiao family to you, okay?"
Xiao Shengnan opened her little mouth into an "O" shape.
She pointed at her little nose and asked in surprise, "Ah? Me? But I'm a girl, Grandfather—"
The old general waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "As long as you are capable, what does it matter whether you are a man or a woman? If your brother is more capable than you in the future, he will be the one in charge of the Xiao family. If you are more capable than your brother, then you will replace him and he will follow your lead. In short, our family only recognizes ability, not gender."
Xiao Shengnan was a little excited.
She felt that her father was so majestic every day, commanding thousands of troops and getting hundreds of responses at his command. If she could be a hero like her father, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.
She asked again, "Then, do parents agree?"
The old general smiled and said, "Of course I agree. It was your parents who advised me about this matter. Your parents said that it is still unclear what your brother will be like in the future, but now it seems that he is a little impetuous and unstable. The most taboo for a general is impetuous. If a general is not calm in the face of things, it will ruin the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. At present, your temperament is quieter and more stable than your brother. If you are more capable than your brother, then you should be the one who is more capable. We can't bury your talent just because you are a girl-"
Xiao Shengnan was a little proud.
She was so happy that her grandfather, parents and others all thought she was more capable than her brother!
She hugged her grandfather's neck and asked, "What if my brother becomes calm and steady in the future?"
The old general smiled and said, "If your brother becomes better, you two can compete again. In short, the best one gets the job. Whoever is better gets to be the boss. Our family will not treat you unfairly just because you are a girl, okay?"
Xiao Shengnan buried her head in her grandfather's neck and had fun.
She is so happy.
She had such an open-minded grandfather, such loving parents, and was able to learn martial arts and compete fairly with her brother.
She decided that she would work hard and she would not let her parents, grandparents down. She would be better than her brother, hehehe!
"Dad, what did you say to Shengnan? How did you make her so happy?"
Shen Yuanwei walked towards the grandfather and grandson with a smile.
The old general glanced at his daughter-in-law who was walking towards him against the light, and said with a kind smile, "Your mother is making pig's trotters in the kitchen. She asked Shengnan to come and eat some."
"mother!"
As soon as Xiao Shengnan saw her mother, she immediately left her grandfather's arms and ran towards her beloved mother.
She hugged her mother's legs, raised her head and smiled brightly, "Look, mother, my grandmother loves me so much that she made pig's trotters for me early in the morning! My grandfather loves me so much that he came to watch me practice martial arts early in the morning with his crutches. My mother loves me so much that she called me to eat. Hehehe, everyone loves me. I am the happiest!"
Shen Yuanwei laughed.
She bent down, picked up the little girl, and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Are you a little bee that got into mother's belly and became a spirit, huh? Why are you so sweet? Look, everyone in the mansion is delighted by you. The guards who go on a long journey all keep talking about bringing gifts for Miss Shengnan, as if Miss Shengnan is more important than anyone else——"
Xiao Shengnan buried her head in her mother's arms and giggled.
Well, then she might be a little bee transformed into a spirit!
She just couldn't help wanting to say nice things to make everyone happy, she has a very sweet mouth.
She kissed her mother's cheek, held her face and said, "Mom, you are so lucky. You can sleep until the sun shines on your butt every day. Look, Dad has already gone to the military camp, my brother and I have also gotten up to run laps and do boxing, grandparents have all gotten up, but mom is still sleeping. Mom, you are the happiest girl in the world!"
Shen Yuanwei was amused by her daughter.
How could she give birth to such a clever little kid?
However, my daughter was right. She is indeed the happiest woman in the world now.
She pinched her daughter's hand and kissed it, "Mom hopes that our baby will be happier than mom in the future, that everyone you like will like you, and that everything you want to do can be achieved."
Xiao Shengnan blinked her big eyes.
That's so difficult.
Even though my mother is so happy, not everything goes smoothly.
When mother and father got married, wasn't she also snatched away by my eldest and second brothers' father?
Shen Yuanwei looked around and didn't see the little monkey, so she asked the old general, "Dad, where is Dabao?"
She still has trouble pronouncing her son's name.
But the names of her children were given by her father. He hoped that her eldest son would carry on the Xiao family and make it prosperous, and that her daughter would be better than her sons. This had a good implication, and she couldn't refute it, right?
The old general laughed and said, "Just now the two kids had a few words together, and Chuanjia ran away in anger, and even unilaterally announced that he would have a three-day cold war with Shengnan."
Shen Yuanwei lowered her head and saw her daughter blinking at her guiltily.
As soon as she saw the guilty look, Shen Yuanwei knew who was bullying her.
She asked with a smile, "You little bad baby, you bullied your brother again, didn't you?"
Xiao Shengnan picked her fingers innocently, "I, I didn't mean to bully my brother. I went to find him and comfort him. He likes me so much. If he gets angry and can't talk to his cutest sister for three days, he will definitely suffocate to death!"
Shen Yuanwei burst out laughing.
This narcissistic little guy.
She put her daughter down and watched her running with her short legs to find her brother, with a smile in her eyes and eyebrows.
For parents, having such a smart, sensible and well-behaved child is a gift from God. It is a spiritual comfort that cannot be replaced by any gold, silver, treasures, power or status.
She turned and looked at the old general.
"Dad, it's still a little cold in the morning. Don't come to the training ground so early to be blown by the cold wind."
The old general smiled.
"It's not cold. I'm wearing thick clothes, three layers inside and three layers outside. I'm also wearing a wolfskin coat that you and Ling Zhao got. I'm warm all over. It's okay, don't worry."
The old general looked at Shen Yuanwei and asked curiously, "How come you have time to come and see the children today? Aren't you going to Zili Hall to see the girls?"
Shen Yuanwei held the old man's arm and said as they walked, "I'm not going today. A few days ago, Divine Doctor Song sent her new apprentice here from the capital. I'm quite free now. They can help the girls of Zili Hall to study. It doesn't matter whether I go or not."
When the old general heard the three words "Dr. Song", he couldn't help but sigh.
"When you first came, our family and Divine Doctor Song were mortal enemies. Now our family is intact and everything is thanks to Divine Doctor Song's constant care. If your mother and I didn't have her medicine to recuperate, I'm afraid we would have died long ago..."
Having said that, the old general glanced sideways at Shen Yuanwei.
His eyes were full of smiles.
"This is all because of you, Yuan Wei. As the old saying goes, a virtuous wife brings prosperity to three generations. Ling Zhao is lucky to have a good wife like you."
"You saved my father from committing suicide nine years ago, and cured Ling Zhao's strange disease. You also turned enemies into friends with Divine Doctor Song, allowing us to have her help for many years. This is all thanks to you—"
"Even these two well-behaved, sensible and capable grandchildren are not something that ordinary people can raise. Listen to the old man next door, he is so angry with his ignorant grandchildren that he wants to hang himself every day, but I can be coaxed by these two great grandchildren and smile every day. Alas, if our Ling Zhao married another girl, the children born would not necessarily be so cute and capable, don't you think?"
Shen Yuanwei couldn't help laughing.
Nine years have passed. Her two older children are eight years old now, and the younger one is four years old, but her parents still treat her like a child.
The old couple are just the same, they love to praise her every now and then. Who can help but like such a couple?
Look, in the eyes of the two elders, even giving birth to a child was a great achievement.
She smiled and said, "Dad, don't say that. It's because of our Xiao family's good family tradition that we can produce so many talented people from generation to generation. Look, Ling Zhao was raised so well by you and mom. Ling Zhao's brothers and sisters are all of good character. Isn't this the credit of mom and dad? It's because everyone in our family is good and everyone teaches by example that the children have good character."
The old general couldn't help laughing.
Shen Yuanwei glanced at the old man and said, "I should always be grateful to have such good parents-in-law like you and mother. Ling Zhao and I almost emptied the general's family funds to help those suffering women to be self-reliant, but my parents didn't mind at all when they saw the money being spent like water every day, and they were not dissatisfied with me at all. Which parents-in-law can support their daughter-in-law so much? Other parents-in-law would have kicked their daughter-in-law out long ago when they saw how wasteful they were."
The old general was also very funny.
He said, "This is not a waste of money, you are doing a good deed. With your help, those girls have studied medicine, embroidery, abacus and business. They have learned all kinds of things. You also arranged jobs for them. Now they have the ability to make a living. Not only can they live well, but they can also benefit others. It is much more meaningful for you to spend your money on this than to pile it up in the warehouse. Of course, your mother and I will not care about you."
Shen Yuanwei couldn't help but smile when she thought of those girls who were smiling and living a hopeful life.
They were able to help those girls gain a foothold so smoothly, and Dr. Song also played an indispensable role.
After so many years, the name of the ghost doctor's descendant is almost known to everyone. Whenever people mention this female doctor, they all give her a thumbs up and show their special admiration for her.
In the past two years, disciples taught by the divine doctor Song himself have come to the border to teach these women medicine. Naturally, it will be much easier for these girls to practice medicine under the title of the divine doctor's disciples.
Of course, learning medicine is a long process. If you want to be a good doctor, it will take several years to become a master.
Currently, those who have only studied for one or two years and become masters are those who have no talent and cannot learn advanced medical skills.
They are open-minded. If they cannot learn advanced knowledge, they will just learn some basic knowledge and become veterinarians. Treating humans and animals is both curing diseases and saving lives, so being a veterinarian is not inferior to others.
Moreover, veterinarians are more popular.
Every time they go to the countryside, many villagers ask them to look after their own pigs, cattle and sheep. They also do tasks such as delivering babies and castrating pigs, cattle and sheep. It is tiring and dirty, but they are popular and live happily.
They feel that being a veterinarian is a very meaningful job and that their lives are valuable, which is much better than before when they were criticized by others.
Nowadays, in Zilitang, whether studying medicine, doing business, or learning a craft, each girl can choose the field she is good at and work hard to acquire knowledge.
It doesn't matter if they can't learn anything. They can still sew, mend and wash clothes for the soldiers in the barracks and still support themselves.
Moreover, the people living in the border areas are simple and honest, and their lives are not easy, so naturally there is not much discrimination and intolerance, and everyone is quite accepting of women who lose their virginity and divorce.
Here, many girls have come out of their past pains, and each of them is smiling, happy and satisfied from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing that they were living well, Shen Yuanwei also felt happy.
She is also doing meaningful things and not wasting her life. Isn't that great?
…
At noon, Xiao Lingzhao returned from the military camp.
When he came back, he was holding a bag of steaming hot pancakes, some with chestnut filling, some with maple syrup filling, and some with meat filling.
As soon as he lifted the curtain and entered the room, the two children rushed over, hugged his legs, and called him "Daddy" in their baby voices.
The word "Dad" made Xiao Lingzhao, who had been busy for half a day, feel completely relieved of his fatigue.
He bent down and picked up the two children, his handsome face full of tenderness.
"Did you miss Daddy today?"
The two children nodded vigorously.
"Yes, I really do."
The two children leaned their little heads on their father's shoulders and hummed coquettishly, "Daddy, when will you be free? Take us and mom to play. Although mom can also take us to play, we won't have fun without daddy. We also want daddy to accompany us."
Xiao Lingzhao hugged the two little sweet babies, and his heart softened.
Look, he has two such clingy and sweet babies. How proud and proud is that?
He sat down on the large armchair and let the two children sit on his lap.
As he tore open the brown paper and took out the biscuits inside and handed them to the two children, he said softly, "Daddy will be free in two days. Daddy will accompany you and mom to fly kites, okay?"
The two children snuggled in their father's arms, chewing on the delicious biscuits, and said softly, "Okay, as long as we are with Daddy and Mommy, everything will be fun."
Xiao Lingzhao lowered his head and looked at the two pairs of beautiful eyes that also liked him. His heart was filled with sweetness.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up.
His beautiful wife lifted the curtain and came in, standing at the door against the light, smiling sweetly at him.
In the interweaving of light and shadow, he seemed to see what happened nine years ago.
That day, his wife also fell from the sky and suddenly appeared in front of him.
The hand gently touched his forehead, calming the strange power in his body, and his fate changed.
He looked at his wife who was walking slowly towards him with his deep and affectionate eyes. When his wife stood in front of him, he smiled and held his wife's hand tightly, putting her fingers on his forehead.
Just like when we first met.
But when we first met, he was chained and imprisoned in the yard. Now, with his sweet and soft child in his arms, his situation has completely changed.
His eyes only reflected the figure of the person in front of him. He opened his thin lips slightly, smiled softly and asked her -
"You are a goddess, right?"
"It must be because of my great merits that God gave you to me."
"I am content and happy to have you in my life."
Shen Yuanwei gently tapped Xiao Lingzhao's brow with her finger. She tilted her head slightly, looking a little strange.
What's wrong with you?
But looking at the man who loved her deeply, she still gave her brightest smile.
She bent down and pressed her eyebrows against his.
"You are not the only one who is fulfilled and content."
"Me too."
