"Grandma, was I also so greedy when I was a child? Just like my sister." Gu Yun'er tilted her little head and looked at Fang Xiwan.
“Cough cough cough…”
Gu Hong couldn't help coughing, then looked at Fang Xiwan, signaling with his eyes that his mother should give him some face.
Fang Xiwan certainly understood what her son wanted to express, but she ignored it.
"Yeah, your dad probably ate it when he was little! Besides, he loved meat. Anything he saw would be stuffed into his mouth all day long!"
Fang Xiwan seemed to think of what happened in the past, and a look of regret appeared on her face.
Then he picked up Kang Kang from the ground and gave him a piece of braised pork. The brother and sister ate while giggling.
So warm!
"Grandma, you should also try the braised pork made by mother!"
For the first time ever, Gu Xiuwu picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Fang Xiwan's bowl.
When Shen Ningsi saw this scene, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
She knew Gu Xiuwu's temper better than anyone else. Now that he took the initiative to pick up some meat for Fang Xiwan, it meant that she must have done something to make Gu Xiuwu accept her.
However, thinking that what Fang Xiwan did was definitely for the good of the children, Shen Ningsi did not continue to think about it.
Everyone was talking from time to time. Shen Ningsi and Fang Xiwan were eating and feeding their children at the same time. It was so warm.
After dinner, Gu Hong learned his lesson this time and took the initiative to clean up the dishes.
Ana Shen saw it and went to the kitchen.
This time, Fang Xiwan didn't stop her. She looked at the two of them busy in the kitchen with a happy look on her face.
Living life is like cooking braised pork, you have to simmer it over low heat!
She is an experienced person and knows that if Shen Ningsi gets used to Gu Hong's presence everywhere, their relationship will get better and better in the future!
"Mom, there's something I want to tell you!"
In the evening, Gu Hong and Gu Zhen went to the yard next door, and Fang Xiwan also took An An and Kang Kang to rest.
It is said that grandparents are closer than grandchildren. Although Fang Xiwan has only been here for a few days, An An and Kang Kang like her very much.
Shen Ningsi felt that a large part of this was probably due to blood ties.
Even Gu Yun'er was pulled away by her. Shen Ningsi could feel that Fang Xiwan really liked these children.
"What's the matter?" She looked at the young man standing beside her, who was already taller than her shoulders.
"Mother, when I went out to look for Yun'er and the others tonight and came back for dinner, I saw that Zhang from the village wanted to marry her daughter to my father as a concubine. My grandmother said that a concubine is worse than a slave, and you have the right to sell her! She told her not to push her daughter into the fire pit. I have a feeling that this matter will not end so easily."
Gu Xiuwu was still very familiar with the moral character of these people in the village.
"Hmm? Did mother-in-law really say that?"
A look of surprise appeared on Shen Ningsi's face. Of course, she understood what Fang Xiwan meant.
"Well, in the end, Zhang's daughter Gu Duoer ran away on her own?"
Although Shen Ningsi believed in Gu Hong, she had to be on guard against these people in the village.
"Yes, but you should be careful, mother. I don't want father to find us any concubines! Everyone in the village is the same, they are all wicked!"
Gu Xiuwu said this with an indignant look on his face.
"Yes, mother knows."
Shen Ningsi nodded, then reached out and rubbed his head, "Xiu Wu, you've been tired all day today. Go back and rest early. Don't worry about things at home. Mother will take good care of you."
"Yes, mother, then you should rest early too!"
Gu Xiuwu reached out and scratched his head with a shy smile on his face.
He still liked that grandmother very much. At least after she came, with An An and Kang Kang, his mother could sleep well.
The next day, after Shen Ningsi and her family finished breakfast, Fang Xiwan took them to the dental clinic in town.
"Mother, are you really going to buy a maid and a servant?"
Shen Ningsi had thought about it before, but she was always a little worried.
"It's not okay for you to take care of all the household chores by yourself. Besides, you're not an ordinary citizen. No one will say anything if you hire a few maids and servants. Besides, you'll all be going to the capital sooner or later, so having people around to run errands for you won't do!"
"The capital?"
When Ana Shen heard these two words, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
If it were in the past, she would not have wanted to go to the capital so soon.
However, she also knew that if Xiuwen and Xiuwu wanted better learning and an environment for practicing martial arts, they must follow them to the capital.
However, the matter in Wanning Village has not been resolved yet, and he does not want to go there so soon.
As if seeing what Shen Ningsi was thinking, Fang Xiwan smiled and patted her hands.
"Sisi, don't be bound by your own wishes. Just do whatever you want! Just buy a few maids and servants? What's the big deal? When the time comes, your mother will keep an eye on you and will definitely not buy those who are too cunning!"
Shen Ningsi nodded after hearing this.
She knew that maids and servants in this era could be bought and sold, and after signing the indenture contract, their life and death depended on their own whims.
Fang Xiwan saw that the expression on Shen Ningsi's face had relaxed, and then took her hand and got into the carriage.
The Gu Xiuwen brothers had gone to the yard next door to practice martial arts, so when they came out, An An, Kang Kang and Gu Yun'er also got into the carriage.
This was the first time for An An and Kang Kang to ride in a carriage since they were grown up. There was curiosity in the two little guys' black eyes.
"Sisi, it's done! I have to catch the bus!"
Fang Xiwan's cheerful voice rang out outside the carriage.
"Mom, thank you for your hard work!"
At this time, Shen Ningsi also realized that it was not convenient to not have a servant who could drive a carriage at home.
Fang Xiwan's rush to drive the car made Shen Ningsi feel a little guilty.
The carriage drove out of Wanning Village.
Zhang and her daughter Gu Duoer just happened to come out of the house at this moment. When they saw this scene, both mother and daughter showed envy on their faces.
"Duo'er, did you see that? The Gu family's carriage is much more luxurious than those of the other families in town. If you become their concubine, you will definitely be able to ride in such a luxurious carriage whenever you go out!"
Zhang was still chattering there, her eyes filled with envy and jealousy.
"Mother, if I go to the Gu family as a concubine, will I really be able to ride in such a big carriage?"
There was also envy in Gu Duoer's eyes.
"Of course, Gu Hong is a general now! Didn't you see how many new houses he built in the village? I heard he used a new material called cement. Houses built with it won't break down even after a hundred or eighty years!"
When Zhang mentioned the newly built houses in the village, a greedy look appeared on her face. Those newly built houses were countless times better than theirs!
