Gao Miao nodded seriously, "Yes! If mom meets the right person, we are willing."

Xie couldn't help blushing when she heard what they said.

"You guys, come on, how can you expect your mom to remarry? If you tell anyone about this, people will laugh their heads off."

Gao Zhi pursed her lips and smiled, "Mom, don't be embarrassed. If there is a suitable one, just grab it. Life is short, why should you put yourself in a difficult position? Besides, in the future, Gao Miao will get married and have children. He will be like a bird with strong wings, and he can fly freely in the vast sea and sky."

He won't have that much time to spend with you.

You still have to find another one.

My mother is so beautiful and has the ability to make money, so she will have no trouble finding a husband in the future."

Xie's face turned even redder.

What is this little brat talking about?

Gao Miao was not happy when he heard this. It was not because he was unhappy that Gao Zhi encouraged Xie to remarry, but because he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Gao Zhi say that he had married and had children.

"I'm going to get married and have children, but what about you? When you get married in the future, you won't be able to stay with your mother."

"It's none of your business!" Gao Zhi pouted, thinking: "Why would I marry someone like that? I won't marry! In ancient times, when a woman got married, she had to take care of her husband and manage the household, and she had to engage in all kinds of intrigues.

While I am here, I might as well enjoy life.

If there is a man I like, I will just have a romance with him, but marriage is out of the question! 】

When Gao Miao heard Gao Zhi's thoughts, his face turned dark.

This little brat deserves a beating.

Where does she get so many unconventional ideas?

Why do you want to talk about love with a man without getting married?

Did she think he was dead?

It must be, right?

He is the elder brother. If she wants to do this, he will...will...will deal with her!

I would rather keep her at home as an old maid than let her go out and flirt with men.

After returning home, Gao Miao fetched water to boil.

Xie made braised meat in the workshop next door.

Gao Zhi helped Xie to light the fire.

After Gao Miao stuffed a large piece of firewood into the stove, he went next door to find Xie and Gao Zhi.

He touched Gao Zhi's head and said, "You go sit aside, I'll light the fire."

Gao Zhi moved to the side.

Gao Miao sat down next to her.

Gao Zhi silently took out three lollipops from the snack bag, peeled one and handed it to Gao Miao's mouth, "Gao Miao, come on, open your mouth, ah..."

Gao Miao shook his head, "Eat it yourself!"

Gao Zhi frowned, "Eat it if I give it to you. If you don't, I'll cry!"

Gao Miao sighed, looked at her lovingly yet helplessly, and obediently opened his mouth to hold the candy.

The little guy has been using this trick since he was young.

The move is old, but very effective.

Be it him, his mother, or Gao Yunting, they would all be severely harmed by this trick of hers.

Gao Zhi peeled another candy, ran behind the stove and held it high.

"Mom, you eat."

Xie bent down and took the candy in her mouth.

Gao Zhi stuffed the last one into his mouth.

Baji, Baji.

Loquat candy, delicious!

Gao Zhi was shaking his head in enjoyment.

“Life is not easy, people must add some sugar to themselves to make themselves sweet.”

Hearing her words, Xie and Gao Miao looked at each other, and both mother and son laughed.

Who says it’s not?

Their Jiaojiao, what they say makes sense!

…

On the third day, before dawn, Xie's mother and two of her children got up and started working.

Day 4

On the fifth day, not long after, villagers also came to the door one after another, some doing the work, weighing the braised meat, or counting the meat patties, or counting the tofu, and carrying them out to sell.

Gao Tairan stood not far away, quietly watching the Xie family which was filled with the atmosphere of bustling life.

He drank a lot of wine yesterday.

When he lay down in his old room at night, the memories of him and Mrs. Xie kept coming back to his mind.

He found that the Xie in his mind was the Xie in her current form.

He now couldn't remember what the Xie family was like in the past.

He didn't sleep all night and stood here before dawn.

it's all over!

A fair and just end!

From then on, they had no relationship with each other, and the three of them, mother and son, did not affect his life.

This result was obviously what he had wanted for many years, but he couldn't be happy.

It feels like a piece of emptiness in my heart.

After Xie finished her work, the family of three sat down to have breakfast.

Today I'm going to have egg-filled pancakes and tofu pudding.

Gao Zhi likes to eat salty tofu pudding.

The same goes for Xie and Gao Miao.

When no villagers were coming in or out, Gao Tairan slowly walked to the gate of the courtyard and stretched his head to look at the mother and her two children in the yard.

At the table, the snow wolf was gnawing on a bone.

The snow wolf smelled the stranger's scent and immediately started barking wildly.

㕵㕵㕵……

Gao Tairan couldn't help but hold the hilt of the sword, fearing that the snow wolf would rush out and bite someone.

Xie put down the bowl.

Gao Zhi and Gao Miao looked at each other, then they quickly stood up and walked towards the gate of the courtyard while scolding the irritable Xiaobai.

Gao Zhi: "General Gao."

Gao Tairan stood up, his eyes fell on Xiaobai for a moment, then looked at Gao Miao, and said seriously: "Xiao Miao, this is not a dog, right? You keep such a thing at home, aren't you afraid of hurting others or yourself?"

Gao Zhi rolled his eyes at Gao Tairan and said, "Xiao Bai won't do that!"

Gao Tairan didn't want to pay any attention to Gao Zhi.

This little brat is so difficult to deal with, but everyone in the village dotes on her.

No one can do anything to her.

"Xiao Miao, speak up. I'm also thinking about you. Beasts are beasts, you can't tame them."

Gao Miao bent down and touched Xiaobai's head, "Xiaobai, lie down."

Xiaobai immediately lay down and whimpered twice.

Gao Miao looked at Gao Tairan again, "General Gao, Xiaobai won't hurt anyone easily, unless it's someone with bad intentions. It has always been well behaved, and everyone in the village knows it.

We are orphans and widows, and we are grateful for having it to guard our home."

Xie came over and asked, "General Gao, have you had breakfast?"

Gao Tairan was delighted.

"not yet!"

He thought Xie would invite him in for breakfast, but Xie nodded and said, "General Gao, please go back and have breakfast. Don't miss breakfast. Jiaojiao, Xiao Miao, finish your breakfast quickly."

"Oh, okay, Mom."

Gao Zhi and Gao Miao nodded in agreement, turned around and went back to the table to eat breakfast.

Gao Tairan stood alone at the gate of the courtyard, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Xiaobai was still lying there, looking at Gao Tairan with a wary look in his eyes.

Gao Tairan took a deep breath and said to the people in the courtyard, "Xianglan, Xiaomiao, I'm going back first. I'll leave tomorrow. You can come to me if you have anything."

Gao Miao said calmly: "Then I won't see you off. I wish General Gao a safe journey in advance!"

"Hiss..." Gao Tairan took a deep breath.

He was so angry that his chest, teeth, and lungs hurt.

…

The next morning, Gao Tairan took Gao Acai and his wife and Gao Laosan's family to the capital.

Shi's mother and her two sons did not go together. Gao Tairan didn't know why, but he gave Shi one hundred taels of silver.

Maybe it's to seek peace of mind.

When they left, the whole village came to see them off.

Xie's mother and her two sons did not go.

While Mrs. Xie was busy, Gao Zhi took Gao Miao up the mountain to collect herbs early in the morning.

"Gao Miao, take this and help me find this herb."

Gao Miao took the herbs and said, "Okay!" Then he stuffed them into the bushes. After the little mouse recognized them, he took them back.

"Jiaojiao, walk slowly! I'll go in front and you follow behind."

"Don't be afraid! Xiaobai is leading the way ahead." Gao Zhi didn't pay attention for a moment and let it slip, "I usually go up the mountain alone, I..."

She paused and looked down quickly.

What did you step on?
