New year, new beginning.
Apart from the very busy first day of the Lunar New Year, with people coming to pay New Year's greetings from time to time, the following few days were relatively ordinary.
Until the tenth day of the first lunar month, Shen Ningsi's family spent most of the time at home, enjoying fresh food every day.
Gu Hong also taught Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu martial arts from time to time.
Sometimes the family would go hunting in the mountains and eat some fresh game.
Shen Ningsi is still very satisfied with this kind of life.
After the tenth day, Gu Xiuwen and his two siblings returned to the private school to study again.
With three people missing from the house, Shen Ningsi suddenly felt much quieter.
But what she was more concerned about at this moment was the winter wheat in the field.
It snowed on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and it has almost melted by today. The sun was also very bright on the ninth and tenth days, and people can walk on the ridges in the fields.
On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, Shen Ningsi couldn't wait to go to the field to check on the winter wheat.
Looking at the green and vibrant field, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, my idea was right. All these winter wheats were not frozen to death!"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel excited!
In more than three months, when these winter wheat can be harvested, it means that everyone will have another quarter of harvest in the second half of the year, and many farmers will not starve to death!
When he returned home, Shen Ningsi carefully wrote down the growth of winter wheat during this period and the things that should be paid attention to on a piece of paper.
By the time all this was done, it was already late at night.
Shen Ningsi put down the brush and just stretched out his hand to stretch, his waist was hugged from behind.
"I feel bad when you stay up so late every day." Gu Hong's hoarse voice sounded beside her ear.
"This winter wheat is extremely important to the people. Even if I'm a little tired, it doesn't matter."
Shen Ningsi said with a smile on her face. You know, she won a hundred acres of winter wheat, and her feet were sore after running all day.
What has kept her going until now is the joy in her heart.
"Well, I'll ask the emperor for his contribution and see if he has any reason to refuse you the fiefdom this time!"
Gu Hong couldn't help but snort coldly when he said this, thinking that this emperor was really too stingy. His wife had done so many things for Da Zhao, but he didn't even give her a fiefdom!
The emperor, who was far away in the capital, couldn't help but sneeze at this moment! Then he asked his personal eunuch to put on a cloak for him.
"Before, I wanted a fiefdom only to better protect my child. Now that I have you, it doesn't matter if I don't have a fiefdom."
Shen Ningsi said this casually, but her words moved Gu Hong deeply.
"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you and your mother for the rest of my life!"
Gu Hong promised seriously. After spending this period of time with Shen Ningsi, the expression on his face became softer than before.
"Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early. Mother has been asking me lately when I will give An An and Kang Kang a brother or sister..."
After Gu Hong finished speaking, he picked up Shen Ningsi and then slowly walked towards the bed in her stunned expression.
"Gu Hong, when did I say I wanted to give you another child?"
But before Shen Ningsi could continue to refute, his lips were blocked by someone.
When she woke up early the next morning, Shen Ningsi felt pain in her back and waist, but the man was no longer beside her.
Fortunately, she didn't get up late today, and everyone was sitting in their chairs, ready to eat.
"Mom, Dad said you looked after over a hundred acres of winter wheat yesterday. Why don't you get a little more sleep today?"
Seeing the listless look on Shen Ningsi's face, Gu Yuner said with a distressed look on her face.
"Yun'er, you are really my mother's caring little cotton-padded jacket!" Shen Ningsi said with a smile when she heard what Gu Yun'er said.
"That's right. Madam Du also said that a daughter is a mother's sweet little cotton-padded jacket. Of course I have to care about her. Unlike my two brothers, who only know how to wield swords all day long, they might not be able to find a wife when they grow up!"
After saying the last sentence, she couldn't help but giggle.
Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiuwu didn't expect that they would be teased by their younger sister, and their faces turned red.
“Ahem…”
Gu Hong saw this scene and couldn't help coughing.
"If you guys don't eat quickly, you'll be late for the private school later."
After his "kind" reminder, the children finally came to their senses and quickly picked up the breakfast in front of them.
Although his movements were very fast, they were very graceful. In a short while, he had finished drinking the porridge in his bowl.
"Grandma, Mom and Dad, let's go to the private school first! Mom, if you don't have anything to do this morning, go back to your room and rest for a while after dinner. Don't think we don't care about you!"
After saying this, Gu Xiuwu scratched his head. This carefree young man's face turned red after saying this.
"Okay, okay, mother got it. You should hurry to the private school and don't keep the teacher waiting. It's cold out! Don't forget to wear your cloak when you go out. It would be terrible if you catch a cold!"
After Shen Ningsi finished speaking, he couldn’t help but give a warning.
"Goodbye, brother!"
"Goodbye, Sister Yun'er!"
An An and Kang Kang also greeted them in baby voices. Of course, these were all taught to them by Shen Ningsi on a daily basis.
"Oh, my two precious grandchildren, they really make me feel so sweet!"
At this time, Fang Xiwan hugged An An and Kang Kang in her arms and couldn't help but kiss them on the forehead.
The two little guys burst into laughter.
Now An An and Kang Kang no longer need others to feed them. Even if someone wants to feed them, the two children will show great resistance.
The technical guess is that it may be because everyone sits together to eat on weekdays, and seeing Gu Xiuwen and others eating by themselves, the two children followed suit.
Although they often miss some meals, it is not a bad thing for them.
"Mom, whenever An An and Kang Kang do something to make you happy, you keep praising them!"
A helpless look appeared on Shen Ningsi's face. If the children continued to be taught like this, they would definitely be spoiled.
Fang Xiwan saw the expression on her face, but the smile on her face did not fade.
"Sisi, don't worry. Mother isn't blindly spoiling the two children. They're still learning the important principles they should learn. After all, they're descendants of a religious sect and come from a prestigious family!"
Fang Xiwan knew that Shen Ningsi had misunderstood, and couldn't help but explain.
"Mom, I know all this." Shen Ningsi said a little embarrassedly, feeling that she was worrying too much.
"Okay, I know what you're thinking!"
