Shen Huaixu didn't quite understand why Fu Yin made such a clear distinction between her present self and her past self, Fu Tuan, when they were clearly the same person. In her opinion, Fu Tuan was more lovable.
Since the person involved didn't say anything, she couldn't get to the bottom of it. She could only repeatedly assure him that he would never confuse the two names again, and finally she managed to appease him by persuading him.
What Chen Huaixu didn't know was that Fu Yin regarded his time as a member of Fu Tuan as his own black history, as if his split personality had done things that his original self would never do, and he felt ashamed and angry, and just wanted to turn the page.
And he knew clearly that Shen Huaixu preferred the previous Fu Tuan.
In the planting space filled with the aroma of fruits and herbs, Fu Yin used his mental power to see Shen Huaixu, who had just fallen asleep after making a promise. His original anger suddenly disappeared when his mental power was focused on that peaceful sleeping face.
"good evening."
Beichuan County is much colder than Beijing, and Jiuxi Village is also colder than Beichuan County. In the howling cold wind, the enthusiasm of the villagers offsets a lot of the cold.
This day was exactly the hundredth day after Jiang Xiaoyu was born. The Jiang family was not a wealthy family and they did not plan to hold a grand ceremony. After all, he was the eldest grandson in the family, so they attached great importance to it whether it was the third day or the hundredth day.
They brought a lot of meat and vegetables from the county town, planning to simply treat the villagers to a meal and drink some Hundred Days' Eve wine.
This time, their whole family returned to Beixi Village together, which even alarmed several neighboring villages. Many people came to watch. For a moment, Shen Huaixu felt like a rare animal in captivity.
After a long exchange of greetings, the family finally entered Jiang Zhengmao's house.
After the autumn harvest, the Jiang family started building brick and tile houses in their old house in Beixi Village. Now only the house on the west side has not been completed and it is not habitable for the time being.
In this way, Shen Huaixu met Jiang Yao and Jiang Zhou, brother and sister, again. Both of them had lost some of their childishness, especially Jiang Zhou, who was much more stable than before.
Jiang Yao's behavior also became more generous, and he stared at her in a daze for a while.
Not long after we sat down, many villagers poured in like a tide.
They are all familiar people who work in tofu shops and spice shops.
The women, led by Zheng Wangshi, praised Chen Huaixu from head to toe as soon as they saw him. In the end, even someone as shameless as Chen Huaixu blushed, "Mrs. Zheng, please stop praising me. I'm always uncomfortable with your praise."
Zheng Wang glared at him, "You little girl, did your aunt praise you less or what?"
"You've praised me a lot, you've praised me a lot. That's enough, that's enough. After listening to what you said, I can have an extra bowl of rice at noon today."
Zheng Wangshi laughed, and then looked at Shen Huaixu again, "Is your father, the Marquis, giving you less food or something? Why don't you look like you have any extra meat?"
Shen Huaixu immediately defended his father, "Dad, I've been fed a lot. Can't Auntie see that I'm growing taller?"
Zheng Wangshi hadn't noticed it before, but now she took a closer look and saw that she had indeed grown taller. "Yes, yes, she has really grown taller, but she also needs to eat more. Girls from rich families are plump and look very pleasing..."
Chen Huaixu nodded continuously with his eyes squinted, and he couldn't imagine what he looked like when he was fat.
After talking lively for a while, many of the people crowded in the room left, leaving only the family members warming themselves by the fire.
Zheng Wangshi quietly peeked outside, where they were also talking animatedly. She lowered her voice and asked, "Xu girl, can you tell my aunt what your father, the Marquis, is planning?"
Shen Huaixu was stunned, "What's the plan?"
Jiang Tao next to him reminded, "What are your plans for the future?"
Seeing Qian Xiuzhu and Zheng Li'niang looking at her intently, she said, "Dad... is still in his prime, he can't retire so early, right?"
"Retire?" Everyone was puzzled.
Shen Huaixu hurriedly explained, "It means resigning from office and returning home."
"You silly girl, that's not what your aunt and mother are worried about." Zheng Wang leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Will your father bring you a stepmother someday?"
Qian Xiuzhu only realized this a while ago after being reminded by a village woman. She hadn't thought about it many times in her mind, and worried that her in-laws' words were too blunt, she also said, "Your aunt's words were rough but true. We are thinking about you. Your father is a marquis after all. Even if he marries a concubine, his family background is not low. There are not many young ladies from wealthy families who are easy to get along with. Mother is worried that you will be wronged."
Jiang Tao also said: "Yes, your mother was worried before, and asked your father to remember to ask about you when he went to the capital, but your father completely forgot about it."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Huaixu. Shen Huaixu felt helpless because there were so many people who were worried about her father's lifelong affairs.
"I asked my father, the Marquis, about this matter, and he has no intention of remarrying for the time being."
Zheng Wangshi opened her mouth to ask more, but was interrupted by Shen Huaixu's small hand. "Auntie, I know what you want to ask. Even if the Marquis father really takes a fancy to someone in the future, I believe in his vision. He will definitely choose someone as gentle as my mother."
Everyone knows which mother this is.
Several people looked at each other. Seeing Shen Huaixu's confidence, Qian Xiuzhu said nothing more, "Mother knows, it's okay as long as you know it."
Since Qian Xiuzhu said this, the rest of the people naturally had no reason to continue asking questions.
At noon, we had a lively meal with the villagers, and then the children ran to the fields and Jiuxi Mountain for a walk.
On the way back, Jiang Sanlang asked Chen Huaixu with a chuckle, "Little sister, did you get the glass lamp back?"
"Glass lamp?" Jiang Erlang, who had not been to the capital, was puzzled.
"Second brother, didn't third brother tell you?" Jiang Wei scratched her head. As soon as her third brother came back, he told her everything they had done in the capital like a storyteller. She thought third brother had told second brother.
