The big bed that Gu Yuner mentioned was a large bunk bed. All three children slept in the same room, but in order to distinguish between boys and girls, a wooden board was used to separate the area belonging to Gu Yuner.
The wooden planks were fragile, and Xiuwu was at his peak energy, so he'd often let them fall on Yun'er at night with a flick of his hand. The child was sensible and quiet, but that didn't mean she didn't want her own crib.
Shen Ningsi felt a pang of pain in her nose, and she picked up Gu Yun'er and pinched her face. "It's okay for the two brothers to sleep alone, but will Yun'er be afraid to sleep alone?"
Gu Yuner quickly put her arms around Shen Ningsi's neck, "Afraid!"
Shen Ningsi smiled, "Then Yun'er will sleep with mother."
"Then what about An An Kang Kang?"
"They are my children and I need to take care of them. Yun'er is also my sweetheart."
Gu Xiuwen looked at the backs of the mother and daughter and lowered his eyes silently, "She is really good."
Gu Xiuwu didn't care what he was sighing about. He pulled his hand and went to choose a room. "Brother, what's wrong with you? We couldn't even dream of such a nice yard before. Why don't you pick a room quickly? Of course Mom is good! Which woman can afford such a nice house!"
Everyone in the yard is very happy and they all feel that their lives are getting better and better.
The corners of Shen Ningsi's mouth were raised and flattened when he saw Gu Hong.
"What's this, Master Jun?"
She looked at the bag on Gu Hong's back and had a bad feeling in her heart.
Gu Hong's face remained calm. "Since I said I would protect your family, I must do what I said."
Shen Ningsi choked. As far as she knew, there were no other houses nearby. She asked tentatively.
"Master, are you planning to find a house nearby?" Shen Ningsi smiled. "Master, since you are so considerate of our family, I will definitely do my best. I wonder where you will live? Do you need help moving things?"
Gu Hong pulled the corner of his mouth lightly, pointed to the room next to Shen Ningsi and said: "You don't need to do any heavy work, just go and spread a mattress for me, I will live here."
“…”
"This isn't a good idea." Shen Ningsi forced a smile. "We are a family of orphans and widows. If Jun Ye lives here, I'm afraid people will criticize us."
"If anyone dares to gossip, I'll rip their tongue out!"
When the two brothers Gu Xiuwen heard the noise in the yard, they came out of the room. Gu Xiuwu was about to rush over angrily, but was grabbed by Gu Xiuwen by the wrist.
"General, even if you can shut these people up, you can't interfere with their thoughts. General, can you please think about your mother before you act?"
Gu Xiuwen's voice grew increasingly grave. "Mother has had a difficult time in Wanning Village these past few years. Now that she's finally respected by everyone, is the general going to return her to her old situation just for his own selfish reasons?"
"That's right! You only care about your own happiness and don't care about my mother at all! Those gossips will probably scold my mother when they see her letting a man move in!" Gu Xiuwu echoed.
He felt his brother had spoken his mind. His father had done nothing to help his mother achieve her current status. The people in Wanning Village didn't know his father's true identity. He knew with a shrewd guess that a man in his prime living in a widow's home wouldn't say anything good about him.
"You two!" Gu Hong rolled up his sleeves, "I've never dealt with you before, have I?"
The first few times Gu Hong could still deceive himself, saying that he had not been home for a long time, and the two boys deliberately acted dissatisfied to attract attention. Now Gu Hong finally understood. More than half a year had passed, and in the hearts of the two boys, Shen Ningsi's status had surpassed his!
Shen Ningsi's pupils shrank and he quickly opened his arms to protect the child, "Master Jun, why do you, a grown man, care about two children?"
"You can live wherever you want, as long as you don't take your anger out on my two children!"
"mother!"
"Shut up!"
Shen Ningsi held one of them in each hand and said, "Master Jun, you can choose whichever room you want, but you'll have to make the mattress yourself."
After saying that, Shen Ningsi dragged the person into his room, his face rarely darkening.
"Just because you had a few words with Lord Fan, do you think you can ignore the official? If you don't want him to live in our house, there are always other ways. Do you think that military officer outside is your father? How dare you say he is selfish? He only cares about himself?"
Ana Shen didn’t notice that the two children looked a little embarrassed.
"I was a bit harsh just now, but remember, be a little polite in front of him. His arms are scary to me."
Shen Ningsi didn't take this episode to heart. As long as she didn't care about the rumors, those people's words wouldn't hurt her. Shen Ningsi's only worry was that the children would be affected.
However, Shen Ningsi had originally planned to rely on his modern knowledge to survive in ancient times, and it was impossible for him to stay in Wanning Village forever.
Shen Ningsi washed the pots and bowls, and when he put the rice in, he thought about it and went out to ask, "Master Jun, are you and Brother Yazi staying at home for dinner?"
Gu Hong directly pressed Sanyazi's head into the quilt, and went out alone, saying: "Sanyazi has to take people to Tuer Mountain to find potatoes, so I'm eating here alone."
He looked at Shen Ningsi and said "oh" like a good wife and went into the kitchen, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"General, having a wife, children, and a warm bed is something many people beg for, but they can't even get. Are you happy now?"
"Get away from me." Gu Hong kicked Sanyazi on the butt. "Go find some potatoes for me. The villagers are waiting!"
Although his words were fierce, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Sanyazi silently returned to the room to pack up his things. Before leaving, he stretched his neck to take a look at the delicious dishes, but with just this one glance, he was glared back at by Gu Hong.
Seeing San Yazi walking away, Shen Ningsi silently picked up a piece of shredded pork with green pepper for Yun'er with chopsticks, "One potato seedling can grow a lot of potatoes. I roughly calculated that in order to feed the villagers, we need to plant dozens of loads of potatoes. In fact, the general does not need to let Brother Yazi go so anxiously to find them."
Gu Hong had to eat coarse food on the battlefield, and after being appointed as an official, he hurried back to Wanning Village to find Shen Ningsi and the others within a few days. This was a rare good meal for him.
Gu Hong, who was enjoying his meal, put down his chopsticks and said, "Call him brother and call me military master?"
"You can't ask?" Gu Hong narrowed his eyes, "Don't you take me seriously?"
"Your Excellency has not told me your name, have you?"
Shen Ningsi didn't want to take the blame for this. "I thought you were a high-ranking official and didn't want to reveal your name. It was probably for your own safety, so I didn't ask."
"My last name is Gu."
Shen Ningsi was slightly stunned, "She is actually from the same family as my late husband. I hope General Gu will not hold this woman accountable for her neglect."
“…”
Gu Hong gritted his teeth, "Don't talk about your late husband!"
How can that be possible?! Shen Ningsi felt that the dead Gu Hong was just a brick, and he could be moved wherever he was useful!
She was about to remind the general that she was a widow!
