Chapter 784: The Responsibility of Being a Husband and a Father
For the sake of their own family and their own bloodline, they will hide their edges and corners, and would rather hurt themselves than hurt each other.
In terms of family, Sophie's dedication is far above Sean's.
In five years, she had only returned to the princess's fiefdom twice, which was commonplace for many lords, but for a person with a strong sense of responsibility, it was already extremely irresponsible.
The main energy of these five years has been invested in little Anne.
Little Anne is smart, precocious, and sensible, not simply because her genes are good enough, which at best makes her start higher than ordinary people, but more from the words and deeds of the day after tomorrow.
These Seans see in their eyes and remember them in their hearts.
If it weren't for Sophia's strict discipline, her own daughter, who had the attributes of a monkey with her own skin, would not dare to say that she would be able to turn the northern fortress upside down.
Yan's mother also enjoys the warmth and benefits brought by family affection, no.
It is impossible to expect Sophia to take the initiative to change, it can only be her own loving father who will do things in the middle and reconcile the atmosphere.
Each small family has its own way of getting along.
A loving father, a strict mother, and a well-behaved daughter.
This is the way Sean's family gets along, and Sean enjoys it.
"Mother......" Little Anne timidly handed Sophia a piece of smoked sammien.
Sean gave Sophia an encouraging look.
"How old are you, and you still play such a childish game. Sophia muttered reluctantly, but her body involuntarily leaned forward and bit the fish meat on Little Anne's knife and fork.
It's not just a piece of fish that comes into your mouth, but also the heart-warming warmth, compared to the latter, the taste of the ingredients itself doesn't matter.
Even a bite of burnt food can become incredibly delicious.
Not only Sophia was secretly happy, but little Anne was also smiling, her sense of fear was greatly dissipated, and she cut a piece of beef crookedly with great interest and handed it to Sophia, "Na, na, na...... Mommy opens her mouth, taste this, taste this......"
Don't think that children can't read words, they are more sensitive than adults in many places.
Although little Anne still can't read Sophia's micro-expressions, she can feel some of her mother's emotional changes.
In those families with stricter upbringing, the child usually seems to be closer to the kind one.
But inwardly, they are more eager to be recognized by the stern one, and if the stern one shows a little kindness, it will make them feel more precious, and naturally cherish it more, and they don't want to let it go.
This was the case with little Anne and Sophia.
Sophia had just taken the beef, and little Anne immediately thoughtfully sent a small spoonful of thick soup over, and clumsily blew a few breaths into the thick soup, and said thoughtfully, "Mom, be careful of scalding." ”
After that, little Anne completely indulged in this new family game, only caring about feeding her mother, completely colding her father to the side, and forgetting to eat herself.
Fortunately, there was also an interesting father next to him, who chopped up his own food and fed it to his daughter, and then opened his mouth at Sophia with his eyebrows winning.
Sophia glared at Sean fiercely, signaling him not to get an inch.
But he can't stand Sean's skin thicker than the city wall, and he looks like he won't give up if he doesn't achieve his goal.
Eventually, Sophia gave in, and with a few twists she cut a piece of food and handed it to Sean.
A family of three formed a perfect cycle, and they all had their own food.
This meal lasted for more than an hour, completely breaking the time plan that Sophia had set for little Annie.
But in view of this meal, the whole person who ate it, and the heart was full, Sophia was reluctant to interrupt, and there was no way to hold her accountable afterwards.
"Anne, can you pick up today's dessert?" Sophia asked little Anne for advice.
Although there are a lot of servants in the family who can be used, there are some things that Sophielia does not allow servants to do for them, especially this kind of rare pure family dinner, and some things have to be done by herself.
This is also part of the education of Little Anne.
"Yes, yes, yes. Little Anne immediately jumped out of her small seat and ran out of her fart.
The little one's fascination with desserts is far higher than that of most children.
Not to mention asking her to fetch desserts, usually Sophiea won't even let her approach the kitchen alone, who knows if she will take the opportunity to stuff something into her little mouth.
Little Annie's special cultural physique made her lose the hunger and satiety of normal people, because her metabolic speed has a lot to do with how much she eats.
After eating, you will not feel bloated like ordinary people, but the secretion of all aspects of the body will be accelerated, and the metabolism will be accelerated.
This metabolic rate is not a double or two times increase, but an increase of hundreds or thousands of times, and the index in all aspects is completely beyond that of ordinary people.
It's definitely a superhuman ability.
The ultra-fast metabolism rate means that as long as you have enough food, you will have extraordinary physical recovery.
Any ability comes at a price, and the same goes for ultra-fast metabolisms.
Even for adults, it's a super burden, let alone little Annie who hasn't fully grown up.
The most important thing is that little Anne's mind is not fully mature, and her self-control is too poor.
If left unchecked, overeating without intemperance can be devastating to the body.
"Remember to wash your hands first, don't eat secretly. Sophia admonished from behind.
"Yes. Little Anne ran away in a puff of smoke.
As for whether it was true or false, it is difficult to say.
It is even possible to pretend not to hear, this kind of careful eye has long been skillful.
After seeing little Anne leave, Sophia turned to Sean and asked, "What happened, why is it so unusual in the last few days?"
Sean pretended to be stupid and said, "What's going on? What's wrong? Don't I take the time to make you a lunch of love every week? It's just that I've been idle lately." I've just made a few more meals for you. ”
"It's been a bit idle lately? You think I don't know anything about the outside, the undead empire is approaching in the north, and the entire northern defense line is on guard.
The Cummins pirates in the East China Sea have not yet been completely wiped out, and they have heard that they have discovered the New World again, and are preparing to unite with the natives of the New World and make a comeback.
The Theodin Empire once again knocked on the edge and broke the Blood Fortress, this time in a desperate situation, and came with a mortal heart.
That idiot of Laurie, instigated by the Holy See, has completely torn his face to the secret meeting with the witches, and a full-scale war may break out at any time.
I believe that all the trade transactions of our military leaders in the alliance have been seriously impacted.
In this case, you tell me you're idle?"
Sophia has a foolish look on her face.
"The Undead Empire sent only an advance army before, and they are not ready for a full-scale war, even if it is a big army, it is a bluff.
As for the remnants of the East China Sea Kingdom, it is true that they have discovered the New World, but it is not so easy to unite the aborigines to make a comeback.
According to their pirate style, they are more likely to have a violent conflict with the natives of the New World, vying for dominance of the New World.
The war within the alliance has indeed dealt a fatal blow to much of the territory's trade.
If it were three years ago, this situation would indeed have a great impact on the territory, but now, the territory has long since gotten rid of a single layout, and the impact is not as big as imagined. ”
Sean smiled and argued, "I'm going to take a little time to accompany your mother and daughter, Anne has not left the Northern Fortress since she was born, it's time to take her out for a walk, take a look, take a look at the territory we have built single-handedly, and take a look at the soldiers and civilians we guard." ”
Sophia looked Sean up and down suspiciously, "So much sentimentality, this is not like the usual you, there must be something to hide from me, your reason is not enough to convince me, before convincing me, little Anne can't go anywhere." ”
"A woman who is too smart and honest is not cute at all, especially when that woman is her wife. Sean secretly slandered in his heart, and said half-truthfully: "The reason you just said is that the entire continent will be shrouded in the haze of war, and it is an unprecedented war, once it is ignited, I don't know when it will stop, no matter who wins or loses, it will have a fundamental impact on our current life."
As rulers of this realm, it is our duty to tell our people what is coming, and to give them confidence in us.
We also need to leave a good memory for little Anne, so that she can remember what this land was once like, which is our duty as parents and the only thing we can do. ”
The reason is indeed this reason, but the most fundamental reason that led to this reason, Sean did not tell the truth.
Even if you say it, it won't solve anything, and it will only increase one's worries and troubles.
Until then, this burden will be resisted by oneself for the time being, which is the responsibility of the husband and the father.
"If you had said that, would I still be suspicious?" Sophia glared angrily, "Don't worry, I'll cooperate with you in this matter." ”
"Mommy, Dad...... I am back. Little Anne took the dessert plate, swinged her short legs, and ran back quickly.
Compared to when she went, there was a ghostly and looming figure behind her.
"I didn't steal it, I only ate my own portion, it was Barton who was stealing it. As soon as Little Anne entered the door, she immediately complained, and the pouting old man was very dissatisfied with his best playmate, who did not leave a piece for himself.
"Barton didn't steal it, I made the meal for four, including dessert, and it's our family too, isn't it, old man. Sean said, reaching out and scratching the air.
A pleasant grunt came out of nowhere.
A swarthy creature the size of an adult horse appeared at Sean's side in a prone shape.
It was Barton in the state of the Shadow Black Dragon, who had just come in with little Annie.
Although it now has the body of a dragon, many of its behaviors and habits still belong to dogs.
Tickling its chin by someone close to it is still its favorite thing.
Little Anne was very doggy and brought the dessert plate to Sophia first, "Mom, yours is a creamy strawberry ice cream, I just finished my own portion, it's good, it's good, it's delicious." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Sophia with big watery eyes, like a small animal begging for food on the side of the road.
Count on the bearer of the food to be merciful and take a small bite of her.
The little one is not yet two years old, but his heart and eyes have grown a lot.
Put your own share into your own little belly in advance, and then you can think about other people's share openly.
It is absolutely impossible to eat alone, at least not in front of his own mother, Sophia.
But begging for it on your own is another matter.
Sophia's many harsh punishments taught little Anne this truth early.
It's just that her poor, lovable offensive has no effect on the hard-hearted mother.
Sophia took her portion and tasted it with great grace, completely ignoring little Anne's gaze.
There is even a little bit of punishment for her - punish her for playing small tricks.
deliberately swallowed slowly, looking extremely delicious, the saliva of the greedy little Annie was about to flow out.
This is one of Sophia's core educational philosophies, children must not be overly spoiled, and must distinguish what is their own and what is not.
This is especially important in a special family like theirs.
Little Annie, who failed in the battle to beg for food from her mother, was not discouraged, and immediately adjusted her combat goals and prepared to attack her father Sean.
Compared with his hard-hearted mother, his father can't resist his cute attack.
Holding the big dessert plate on his chest, his round, watery eyes were the largest, and he looked at Sean without blinking, looking at me with a mouthful, a mouthful, and I only need a mouthful.
This is definitely a macho man's nirvana.
Sean felt his heart melt, and almost handed his share of dessert to little Annie.
A low and cold snort came from the side, reminding Sean to grasp the balance and remember what virtue his daughter was.
Sean just stretched out his hand, and immediately retracted it, little Anne is a ghost, if she tastes the sweetness this time, there will definitely be a next time.
Sean cautiously cut a small piece from his share.
While handing it to little Annie, she said, "This is not for you for free, but you just went to get the payment for dessert." ”
The little guy is greedy and greedy, but it is quite easy to be satisfied, holding the piece that Sean gave her, her little face is full of satisfied surprises, stretching out her pink little tongue and licking it little by little, and she no longer dares to gobble it up like before, because she knows that this time she will eat it and no one will share it with her.
