Maybe it's because the little half bowl of hot soup before the meal ironed my stomach, and this meal is not too difficult to swallow, especially when the words will serve me vegetables.

In the year she lived with me in Jixiang Village, she had already figured out my eating habits, and I would almost only clip the dishes in front of me on a table, but if she liked them, I would give her them food no matter how far away. So when I was only sandwiching the side dish in front of me, Miao Yan sandwiched a piece of tender rabbit meat and put it in my bowl.

"Mother, eat meat. ”

“……”

I was stunned for a moment before I looked up at her.

It's been a long time since I've been smart and sensible, and with a little reckless innocence, my daughter, and she's healthy in front of me.

Thinking of this, I couldn't suppress a smile on my face, nodded, and lowered my head to eat.

And she seemed to grasp my habit, and when I finished eating, she began to put vegetables and meat in my bowl one after another, and I did not eat much, but this meal was a lot at her urging.

Eventually, a piece of chicken was caught in my bowl again.

I had already eaten a lot, and I was about to raise my head and smile to ask her for mercy, but I found that the other end of the chopsticks was Pei Yuanhao's hand.

He looked at me and smiled.

The smile, with a little temptation, was like a child.

I was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously frowned, and the wonderful words next to me were already holding their breath at this time, holding the bowl and looking at the two of us.

I looked at her, too, and saw that there was a candle in her eyes, as if there was a starlight.

It's like seeing myself many years ago.

After a moment of silence, I picked up the piece of chicken and slowly put it in my mouth.

At this time, I heard the two people around me breathe a long sigh of relief, as if someone had just choked their throats, and I bit this bite, but I bit off the rope around their necks, and both of them showed happy expressions.

And I, for some reason, bit the chicken in my mouth, but it was inexplicably bitter.

At this time, Miao Yan seemed to have been poured a mouthful of honey, his eyes were crooked with a smile, and he turned his head to Pei Yuanhao and said, "Father, what do you like to eat, will I give it to you?"

Pei Yuanhao smiled: "Whatever you clip, I like to eat." ”

When he heard the wonderful words, he laughed so much that his eyes were gone, so he kept putting vegetables into his bowl, and he was so happy that he ate them one after another.

The atmosphere was also slightly softened by the laughter of the wonderful words.

We didn't talk, though.

In fact, I can feel it myself, the three of them are cautious.

If we must be counted as a family of three, then we have almost no warmth and sweetness that a family should have, and even, all the information that Miao Yan got after healing was unpleasant, and we had no resources to talk about, and we couldn't even talk about anyone around us lightly, because no one knew whether it would involve unbearable memories on the other end.

Therefore, until the end of the meal, Yihua Palace was quite quiet.

Mama Wu and they were waiting outside, so they came in at this time and offered water and towels for their mouthwashes, and outside the courtyard, they had already seen their figures from a distance.

Miao Yan immediately seemed to understand what was coming, and asked, "Is my father leaving?"

After Pei Yuanhao rinsed his mouth, he wiped his face vigorously with a towel, and then said to her with a smile: "I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I won't accompany you and your mother tonight." ”

"Oh......"

She was a little disappointed, but immediately said, "Then tonight, can I sleep with my mother here?"

Before Pei Yuanhao could speak, she said, "I have a lot of things to say to my mother." ”

“……”

I looked down at her and smiled.

Actually, I have a lot to say to her.

Since she recovered, we have all faced too many changes that we didn't think of before, although now, she has accepted Pei Yuanhao, and also accepted the past between us - I don't know how Pei Yuanhao explained it to her, but no matter what, for a child, accepting his parents is also the first step of accepting himself - but the bigger problem, in fact, she and I have not fully passed.

About Liu Qinghan.

I've said everything I can, but I'd like to hear what my daughter has to say about how she faces the future.

Because, my next path, I may have a choice between her and him.

Thinking of this, I also raised my head to look at Pei Yuanhao, but found that he closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly, blinked vigorously a few times, and then smiled: "Of course you can." ”

Miao Yan immediately said: "Thank you, Father!"

I glanced at Pei Yuanhao and didn't speak.

He wiped his face again, then picked up the table, took a sip of the hot tea that Su Su had just served, and then stood up on the edge of the table.

He didn't leave immediately, but looked down at me and said softly, "You have a good rest." ”

I was silent and nodded slightly.

Then he went out.

I got up with Miaoyan and watched him walk out, the jade father-in-law outside had already carried a lantern and immediately greeted him, at this time, Miaoyan next to me gently took my sleeve and pulled it, I looked down at her, only to see her open a pair of black and white eyes, looking up at me: "Mother, you haven't answered me to that question just now." ”

“…… What?"

I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't come back to my senses, she looked at me seriously: "Our family, father, you, and me, can we often eat together like this?"

“……”

I remembered that this was what she asked just before the meal, Pei Yuanhao asked her to ask me, and I only faintly perfunctory.

But she didn't expect that she still remembered that after eating, she didn't forget to ask.

As a family, can we still do this often?

I subconsciously frowned, and did not answer her immediately, but looked back at the desk by the window, where I was holding the book from Yan Qingchen.

How do I answer her?

Just when I was slightly entangled in my heart and didn't know how to speak, suddenly, I heard a panicked sound outside, and many people shouted outside.

"Your Majesty!"

"What's wrong with the emperor?"

"Quick, be careful!"

It's-

My heart sank suddenly, and I hurriedly walked out, and as soon as I walked down the steps, I saw the door of Yihua Palace, and the people who had lined up neatly to meet Pei Yuanhao before were already in chaos at the moment, and they were all gathered there, shouting in horror.

The lantern fell to the ground, trampled on it, and was immediately extinguished.
