It dawned early in spring, and after Ren Jia took Zhizhi to get acquainted with this home, he began to prepare breakfast.

The porridge on the stove was boiling, Zhizhi snuggled in his mother's arms, playing with the small grasshopper made of straw made by Ren Jia with great interest, and 1528 muttered something to him about the past.

In the red firelight, Ren Jia heard the movement from the hall, patted Zhizhi, although he was a little reluctant, but he knew that he could not affect his mother to do the task, so he had to hide his figure.

Ruan Xiangdi woke up very early, and after finding that the people around him were no longer there, he was not in a hurry, they had an argument last night, and it was not surprising that she occasionally hid and sulked.

At the beginning, he was willing to settle down here to get married, but he felt that it would be difficult for him to return to the capital to revitalize the Ruan family in a short time.

Although he and Meng Hongye are difficult to share similar interests, they can always live their lives.

"Woke up so early today?" Ruan Xiangdi walked into the kitchen, looked at the woman who was immersed in cooking, and spoke in a low voice.

The man with his back to him hummed indistinctly and continued to concentrate on what he was doing.

Breakfast was quickly prepared, and the thick porridge was paired with a stack of home-pickled pickles, as well as fresh wild vegetables from the field, which was completely Ruan Xiangdi's taste.

Mengjia Village is close to the border of Daliang State, the diet is relatively rough, after the two got married earlier, she will make some coarse cakes with gruel pickles every morning, Ruan Xiangdi has not been used to eating, it took more than half a year for her to finally change, how much can she eat.

The eating habits here are too bland, which is really difficult for him who used to be pampered.

Today, though, there seems to be some progress.

"The porridge is good." After drinking a bowl of hot porridge, Ruan Xiangdi said a few more words.

After all, they are husband and wife under the same roof, and he has forgotten about what the two of them had a dispute about yesterday, but when there is a dispute, as long as he has a softer attitude, she will quickly laugh, and rely on this method to solve a lot of problems between getting along.

Putting the porridge bowl back on the table, Ren Jia opened his mouth with a calm face, "Father has been in poor health recently, I want to go back and have a look." ”

After getting married, she never went back to her parents' house, because it was clear to Meng Hongye that she broke up with the family because of marrying him, but since she never complained, he didn't bother to bother, except for maintaining the family's livelihood, he had too many things to do, and he didn't waste energy at all.

"If you want to go back, you can go back, there is still some money at home, you can buy some things to bring back, it is also our mind." Ruan Xiangdi stopped his chopsticks and looked at his wife, who was a little too silent this morning, "I'll go to town later, is there anything I need to add at home?" ”

Ren Jia shook his head, put away his dishes and chopsticks, got up and went back to the bedroom.

She had already seen the pattern in the room at night, opened the box containing clothes and silver coins according to her memory, packed up a few clothes and scattered silver coins to make a small baggage, Ren Jia looked at the small room and the big bed against the wall, and stopped.

Speaking of which, in fact, Ruan Xiangdi doesn't like to sleep with Meng Hongye very much, maybe he is not used to having one more person around, or maybe he really doesn't like this wife, the bed of the two is much bigger than usual, and they usually sleep very apart.

Ren Jia kicked the foot of the bed, tried the strength, and the crisp clicking sound sounded when he stepped down, and the foot of the bed cracked a big crack, although it was still stable, but if it slept with two people, the safety was worrying.

Ren Jia took the burden out of the bedroom, and when he saw Ruan Xiangdi drinking tea in the hall, he looked worried, "There seems to be a problem at the foot of the bed." ”

"What's going on?" Ruan Xiangdi was a little surprised, and after following Ren Jia to see the crack at the foot of the bed, he was silent.

This bed was originally made by Carpenter Chen in the town, but he didn't expect such a big mistake in just one year.

"You sleep in the study these days, I may have to stay at home for a while, you take care of yourself." There is a study specially set up by Ruan Xiangdi at home, in fact, if he can, many times he prefers to sleep alone in the study, but after the two of them had a few small conflicts over this matter, he slowly changed his habits.

After Ren Jia said this request according to Ruan Xiangdi's heart, he was a little surprised, after all, Meng Hongye had never liked it very much, and he always stayed in the study.

After responding to the good thing, he thought in his heart that he might be able to use this as an excuse to separate temporarily, so he nodded, "I will remember to find someone to fix the bed, but the old carpenter in the town is a little busy on weekdays, and we are far away, so it may take a lot of time." ”

Ren Jia smiled, looked at Ruan Xiangdi, who had a naturally cold expression in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Just look at it." ”

After explaining the trivial matters at home, Ruan Xiangdi sent the person to the entrance of the village, and looked at the back that was gradually moving away, and he returned home briskly.

To get to Meng's house, you need to climb over a mountain that is not too high, and after Ren Jia enters the mountain road where there are no people around, he takes the knowledge that is unwilling to be lonely to go to some remote mountains.

In Meng Hongye's memory, there was an abandoned hunter's house on the mountain, which happened to be used as a small base for her and Zhizhi.

The abandoned house was in disrepair and a little dirty, Ren Jia sent 1528 to accompany Zhizhi to play by the stream, and he cleaned up the surrounding grass and garbage in the house, so as to make a habitable appearance.

Picked some wild vegetables nearby, caught a pheasant, prepared a meal for the two, Zhizhi was more curious than hungry for the first time to eat, and the tears of being scalded by pheasant meat fell straight down, Ren Jia held his son in his arms, fed the torn chicken into strips little by little, and finally exchanged for Zhizhi's face.

At night, the two of them lay on the bed made of old wooden planks, looking at the twinkling stars in the loopholes in the roof, chatting with each other.

Zhizhi leaned on his mother's arms, slowly surging into sleep, but he still remembered his question, "Mom, where is Dad?" ”

Ren Jia patted his son's hand, lowered his eyes, and said softly, "Dad went to a far away place." ”

"Will he come back?" Zhizhi learned a lot of common sense under the professor of 1528, and he knew that he should have a father in addition to his mother, but neither his mother nor 1528 had ever mentioned it, which made him a little curious.

"Zhizhi wants to see him?" Ren Jia touched his son's furry little head and asked with a smile.

"A little." Zhizhi nodded, and then added, "But if Mom doesn't like Dad, then I don't like Dad either, and if Mom doesn't want to see Dad, then Zhizhi shouldn't see Dad." ”

"Silly boy." Ren Jia smiled and hugged his son into his arms, "There is a chance that your mother will take you to meet him." ”

Zhizhi answered softly and fell asleep in his mother's arms.

The reason why Ren Jia was reluctant to tell Pei Yuansi about Zhizhi was that he felt that he was not ready to become a father and a husband of a person, which was reluctant enough, let alone the sudden extra little life.

His life is too willful, Zhizhi should not become a victim of his willfulness, not to mention, she doesn't want him to snatch her child.

Even if the two are together, she has never really known Pei Yuansi's true identity, but it is certain that his identity is not ordinary.

In the past, when she was alone, she was only responsible for her own decisions, but now she knows more and she has to be careful in whatever she makes.

Perhaps, it's time for the identity of the tasker to change.

Waking up early the next morning, Ren Jia embarked on the road to Meng's house with a bird-like joy and knowledge.

Meng Hongye's wish was too simple, Ren Jia took Zhizhi to pick some healthy herbs on the road, which was regarded as filial piety for Meng Hongye.

After entering Mengjia Village, many people who saw her on the side of the road pointed and pointed, and those friends and sisters in Meng Hongye's memory did not come forward, she only smiled and nodded as a greeting, and went in the direction of home.

Meng Hongye's mother was not in good health, she was almost forty years old before she was born, and she went early after the ghost door was closed, and her father brought her up single-handedly, living in poverty, Meng's father was exhausted early, because his daughter was determined to marry a foreigner, and his health was even worse.

Seeing the rickety old man on the back of the weeding on the edge of the field, Ren Jia opened his mouth and shouted, "Dad." ”

Father Meng's body stiffened, and he turned around slowly, he was obviously a little excited, his lips twitched a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end there was only one sentence, "You're back." ”

Ren Jia stepped forward to help the person out of the field, and walked home with a hoe on his back, "It was my daughter's fault in the past, don't be angry, dad, let's go home." ”

Father Meng only sighed, but said nothing more.

When he returned home, he poured a bowl of tea for each of them, and sat in the dim hall, Ren Jia briefly talked about Meng Hongye's life after marriage.

If it was Meng Hongye, most of the good news would not be reported bad, but as everyone knows, Father Meng has already seen through the different paths between her and Ruan Xiangdi, and what she said too thoughtfully made the old man think more, so Ren Jia had some complaints between his words, and picked and picked some small things about the daily disputes between the two to appease Meng's father's heart.

"Be considerate of each other in life, you are now married, you can't be willful anymore." After hearing this, Father Meng's face was much soothed, and he took a sip of tea and admonished.

"Ruan Lang asked me to bring some money over, which is our heart, don't blame him." Ruan Xiangdi rarely came to the Meng family except for two times after getting married, although he occasionally remembered to drag someone to bring some things and money, but he was not too attentive after all.

"You just have to live your own life, and I can take care of myself." Father Meng put down the teacup and didn't say anything to his son-in-law, who was above the top, as long as his daughter was doing well, he had nothing else to ask for.

Ren Jia stayed with Meng's father for more than half a month, took care of the trivial things at home, and helped Meng's father repair and sew the spring seeds, and then stayed in the mountain hut for two more days before going back.

At this time, there was still half a year left before Ruan Xiangdi joined the army, and it was almost at this time that Meng Hongye was found to be pregnant.

When Ren Jia entered the house, Ruan Xiangdi had not returned from the door, looking at the crack at the foot of the bed, she smiled, packed up everything on the bed, and put on a new mattress.
