"Father, you're finally back! Mother has been so busy!" An'an said earnestly, as if she were talking about something very important.
"Father, I know so many words now, I can even write everyone's name in the family!" Pingping looked at Chen Yongnian expectantly, her face full of praise.
“Father knows your mother is busy, so I’m not here. Be good and don’t let her worry.” Chen Yongnian bent down and held one baby in each arm.
Then he asked, "Pingping is so amazing, what do you want to do after you learn this?"
“The teacher said that studying is for enriching oneself, and if one can pass the imperial examinations, it can reduce the burden on the family. Feng Zheng said that if one becomes an official, one can protect the family from being bullied. Pingping wants to become a high-ranking official in the future to protect her mother!” An’an answered with a smile.
In fact, what Feng Zheng was talking about was not protecting his family, but doing whatever he wanted.
Pingping was afraid of being scolded for saying it that way, and also felt that it was wrong to do whatever she wanted, so she changed her way of speaking.
Chen Yongnian was taken aback, not expecting Pingping to have such ambition. "Alright, then Pingping must study hard!"
Although the government and the court were complicated, he did not want to discourage the children.
As they were talking, Wan Qiqi's voice came from the kitchen.
"Stop bothering your father, come in and wash your hands and eat!"
"Okay~" the two little ones replied and immediately ran obediently into the kitchen.
Standing in the courtyard, Wu Gousheng smiled and called out, "Brother-in-law!"
Chen Yongnian nodded, patted Wu Gousheng on the shoulder, and said, "You've worked hard. Let's go inside and have a meal and talk!"
Although Wu Gousheng was always with his wife, which inevitably led to gossip, he trusted Wu Gousheng, just as Wan Qiqi trusted Wu Gousheng.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, and Wu Gousheng integrated into the family, as if he really was Wan Qiqi's younger brother.
I don't know who started the conversation, but it turned to Wu Gousheng's marriage.
Wan Qiqi gossiped about Wu Gousheng's type and said she would find him a suitable partner, making Wu Gousheng blush.
Wan Qiqi and Chen Yongnian didn't mention the Bafang Restaurant at all, as if Chen Yongnian had only come back to see his wife and children.
After lunch, Chen Yongnian hurried back to the county government office to make sure the higher-ups could find him.
Of course, those above wouldn't ask about his whereabouts, because it was all a deliberate effort to get Chen Yongnian back to Hefeng Town.
