"Well, I know. You don't have to worry. I just want you to be safe and sound outside. You don't have to worry about your child. I spend most of my time in the embroidery workshop. Thanks to my aunts who help take care of me, I have no worries." Yueru said.
"Hey! What are you talking about? You two are busy for our Xu family. Besides, Zhier is a sensible, easy to take care of, and very obedient child. With little girl Yaya and other children in the village to play with him, we don't have to worry about anything." Wang said.
A scene of warm conversation was taking place in the Xu family, creating a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere.
After everyone showed concern for each other, the old man said, "Scholar, you haven't even had a sip of water yet, right? Come and have some tea to warm yourself up."
Qian Shusheng smiled and nodded, "Okay, uncle."
"If you feel tired after drinking, go back to your room and rest for a while. It must be uncomfortable to travel in the wind and snow." said the old man.
Qian Shusheng did not refuse. He was indeed a little tired, and the cold wind blew in from the carriage. Although he was wearing many clothes, his hands and feet still felt cold.
Wang said, "There's freshly boiled water in the kitchen. Yueru, please get some hot water for the scholar and let him soak his feet. After a good sleep, his body will be warmed up."
Qian Shusheng and his wife nodded.
Qian Xuedong said, "Dad, take a break first. I'll go to the kitchen and bring you a basin of hot water to your and Mom's room."
Qian Shusheng patted Qian Xuedong on the shoulder and said with satisfaction: "Okay, let me enjoy my son's filial piety to me."
Qian Xuedong smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Dad, you have worked hard for this family. I just got you a basin of hot water. It's a simple thing."
After saying that, he headed towards the kitchen.
The old man smiled and said, "Xuedong is very sensible, much better than those boys in my family."
Qian Shusheng said, "Uncle, I don't agree with what you said. The Xu family's grandchildren are all excellent. They are all dignified and energetic, and they are also very filial and obedient. Uncle should be satisfied."
The old man laughed heartily upon hearing this. He said that what he was most satisfied with was that their Xu family would no longer have to worry about having a large family in the future. When they died and went to the underworld, they would have an explanation to their ancestors, not to mention that one of his grandsons had become a successful candidate in the imperial examination.
"Okay, okay, stop praising each other. It's like you're just strangers. Scholar, go back to your room and have a good rest." Wang said with a smile.
Qian Shusheng nodded and carried Zhier and his wife back to his room.
Qian Xuedong had already placed a basin of hot water on the ground, with a kettle next to it.
"Dad, I've adjusted the temperature. If you want to soak it for a while longer, there's hot water in this kettle. If it gets cold, just add some in." Qian Xuedong said.
"Xuedong, you have grown up. Your father doesn't know how long he can continue to work outside. Your mother and younger brother all depend on you to take care of them. Now that you have grown up and are more steady in doing things, your father is very relieved. Can you take on the responsibilities of being a brother and a son?" Qian Shusheng said.
"Don't worry, Dad. I understand everything you said. Apart from you, I am the only man in our family. I will take good care of my mother and brother." Qian Xuedong said.
"Dad, I am a man too, but I am still young. When I grow up, I will definitely protect Mom and Dad, my brother, Grandma Xu, Grandpa Xu, and my sister Yaya." Zhier's childish voice sounded.
"Okay, Zhier, you are so good. We will rely on you for protection from now on." Qian Shusheng laughed.
"Okay, you father and son don't have so much to talk about. Sit down quickly. I'll help you take off your shoes and socks. Xuedong, take Zhier out to play for a while." Aunt Ru said unhappily.
"I understand, Mom." Qian Xuedong agreed and reached out to take Zhier from his father's arms.
Zhier pouted his little mouth. He hadn't stayed in his father's arms long enough, but he was a sensible and good boy. His father was tired and wanted to sleep, so he couldn't disturb him.
Qian Xuedong held his younger brother in one hand and closed the door. After all, it was still very cold when the cold wind blew into the room.
Qian Shusheng sat on the bed, looking at his wife who squatted down to take off his shoes and socks, with a happy look on his face, and said: "Madam, if you don't mind, come and take a bath with me. This basin is big enough."
Yue Ru shook her head and said, "After I wash your feet, I still need to go out and help. After all, it's the New Year and there are still many things to prepare at home."
Qian Shusheng said with some regret: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, my lady."
Yue Ru said, "It's not hard at all, but I have something to discuss with you."
Qian Shusheng said, "Madam, it's up to you."
Yue Ru said, "I think it's not a good idea for us to always live in the Xu family. You see, Wen Wu and the others are all grown up and will have to start their own families in the future. With children, the Xu family will definitely not be able to accommodate so many people. I'm thinking that we should build a wooden house in the village like the villagers. I think it's also good."
Qian Shusheng pondered for a moment, then said, "Madam, you are right. I didn't think of it before. I will talk to the old man tonight to see if we can find a suitable piece of land in the village. Then our family of four can have a house of our own in Xujia Village."
Yue Ru nodded and said, "Well, I really like living in Xujia Village. You see, although everyone is busy every day, they always face it with a smile. Living here, it feels like every day has something to look forward to."
Qian Shusheng said, "I'm glad you like it. I'll ask the old man for help later. I want to buy a piece of land. Xujia Village is no longer what it used to be. It's probably difficult for outsiders to move in. We can only use this backdoor because of our good relationship with the old man's family."
The couple talked and became close to each other as they chatted. A sweet atmosphere surrounded them, presenting a picture of deep love between the couple.
"Brother, I miss you so much!" The second brother hit Kuiwu's shoulder and said excitedly.
Kui Wu and his brothers hugged each other and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. Are you all doing well out there? Especially Lao Wu, are you still as reckless as before?"
The fifth brother touched his head and said with a simple smile: "Brother, no, I listen to my second brother now. I do whatever my second brother tells me to do. I haven't caused any trouble."
Kuiwu looked at the second one.
The second brother nodded and said, "The fifth brother has indeed changed a lot and has been performing quite well recently."
Kui Wu nodded, then blushed slightly as if remembering something, and said, "I'll find you a sister-in-law. Can you respect her as much as you respect me?"
"What? Big brother, you you you!" The second brother and the others couldn't believe their ears when they heard that. They thought, could it be that big brother has found a girl he likes?
Kui Wu rubbed his face awkwardly and said, "What's the matter? Can't I, your big brother, have a girl I like?"
