While he secretly admired in his heart, he was also secretly vigilant, he must be instructed to go down, pay close attention to the little girl's actions, and ignore the others, but he must ensure that the little girl's safety is not threatened.

Things were indeed as he expected, and Aman seemed to have woken up from the news. I didn't tell my mother, I didn't even tell my brother...... The little girl's table is even better than Qin Zheng expected!

The reason why he didn't tell his wife was that she didn't take the initiative to tell him about it, and he didn't want to mention that he knew; Second, he thinks no less about Ah Fu and Aman's two children than his wife, and he also understands the character of the girl Man'er, who seems to be naughty and naughty, but she is the smartest, most clear, and most resilient...... There are some things that are best figured out by yourself. Some pains can only grow step by step if you feel them.

Long before his wife found out about Aman's abnormality, he learned what had happened. If an outsider comes to his home to make a small move, he doesn't know that he is not a marquis of Jingbei who often wins battles and conquers Beirong to expand its territory in one fell swoop.

Qin Zheng hugged his wife, but his eyes were still shining in the night.

With his mind settled, Qiu Chen completely relaxed, as soon as the fatigue and anxiety of the past few days were released, the heavy sleepiness immediately swept over, nodded vaguely, and fell asleep in Qin Zheng's arms in the blink of an eye.

"Well, that's all!" Qiu Chen nodded and decided to leave this matter to Mama Chen to ask. Compared with her, Mama Chen is obviously more than a step above her in these investigations. In addition, Qiu Chen also thought that maybe after getting the reason from the girl next to Aman, there would be a follow-up investigation, and it would still be handed over to Mama Chen to handle it at that time, so that the two of them would not be bothered, and it would be easy to do.

After a moment, Qin Zheng said in a low voice: "If this kind of thing happens again, don't bother to think about it yourself, tell me...... I was not in front of me, so I told Mama Chen that she had a lot of experience in dealing with these things. ”

Qin Zheng chuckled, took his wife into his arms and hugged him tightly, but he couldn't help but sigh silently where his wife couldn't see. The wife is not stupid, she just grew up in a farmhouse, and she has not experienced all kinds of calculations and intrigues in the deep courtyard of the mansion, and naturally she is not used to these things.

After being ashamed and suddenly, Qiu Chen's mood suddenly relaxed, and he took the initiative to hug her husband's waist, gave a light kiss, and whispered with a smile on her face: "I'm really stupid, I didn't expect such a simple way...... Hey hey, thank you! ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and at the same time, he was secretly ashamed. It has been ten years since she arrived in this world, but she still hasn't fully adapted to the way of thinking in this society...... In modern times, she is more accustomed to reasoning; But she forgot that she was not in the modern age. Here, especially the masters of the rich and noble, there are people around them to follow and serve around them all the time, even if they are repatriated, they only leave the sight, and they will not stay away, so it is difficult to hide from the people who serve around them in everything......

Qin Zheng squinted his eyes slightly, and held his wife's arm and tightened involuntarily, "Maybe it's not a big deal, the child has no playmates all of a sudden, and there are days to go...... You don't have to worry, ask the people who are waiting around Aman to come and ask carefully, ask who the girl has seen a few days ago, what happened, ask clearly, and you will be able to roughly know the reason for the matter. ”

Qiu Chen groaned slightly, and then did not hide it, and told Qin Zheng about Aman's previous abnormality and today's recovery, and said, "...... After all, I don't know what happened, although I looked at Aman as if he had let go, but I was still not very relieved, and I always felt worried. ”

"I look very happy today, but if there is any happy event, saying it also makes me happy!" Qin Zheng said in a low voice.

After eating, Qin Zheng took the children to practice as usual, turned back, placed the children, and the couple also washed and bathed, so only the husband and wife were left, hugging each other and lying down.

Qiu Chen had already prepared dinner, urged the father and son to wash up and change into home-cooked clothes, and ate together on the window kang in the second room. Regardless of gender, age and age, the family gathered at the same table, even the three small things of Chang'er, Liang'er and Jiu'er were also placed on the inside of the kang table, Qiu Chen and Aman dipped some vegetable soup with chopsticks from time to time and put them into the mouths of the three small things, so that they could taste the taste, and the three little things were really hard-working.

For dinner, Qiu Chen ordered several dishes, Qin Zheng returned to the mansion first, and when he asked Ah Fu if he hadn't come back yet, he immediately turned around and went to the city gate to greet him, and half an hour later, the sky was completely dark, and Qin Zheng took Ah Fu back together.

The mother teased the three little things and played with them, during which Aman also learned from his mother's appearance to urinate back to Chang'er, seeing Aman's abnormality recover little by little, talking and laughing, and also playing tricks according to Qiu Chen, Qiu Chen's heart gradually calmed down, and his mood became more and more cheerful.

Brother Yun and Aman also love to eat, but after eating two pieces each, they were stopped by Qiu Chen. Dinner is going to be half an hour away, and I have too many snacks at this time, and I won't be able to eat dinner later!

The taste of sweet cakes is obviously more than the taste of human milk, and the three little things are chirping with small mouths, and they are eating happily and dancing.

In this way, Qiu Chen didn't dare to feed the three little ones like this, and added cooked goat's milk to make a paste, so he picked it up with a small silver spoon and fed the three little things a few bites. This is the first bite of complementary food that the three little things have eaten. Before, they only ate human milk, and they hadn't eaten anything else!

The steamed pastry has a light melon aroma, which is not dry or loose in the mouth, and there is a little milk flavor, crispy, and melts in the mouth.

Qiu Chen took the two children, first tore off the skin of the melon, and then removed the melon seeds and gourds, leaving only the flesh of the fine white dry noodles, pressed into a puree with a spoon, and then added a small amount of honey, sugar, and goat's milk that removed the smell, and then added cooked flour and cooked rice flour and semi-dry granules, and then put it into the mold and pressed it into a piece of delicate and beautiful pastry, and put it in the steamer to steam for ten minutes.

The lady washed up, changed into the thin silk cotton clothes worn in the room, and then returned to the couch in the second room, a panel has been placed on the couch, the melon has been washed, and the steamed cooked flour, millet flour, rice flour, etc., are listed on the side of the couch. In addition, honey, sugar, and other condiments are also available.

The little thing naturally did not object, Aman temporarily put away the troubles, and became cheerful, and agreed with the same smile.

Qiu Chen smiled, took the melon, put it on the table, and led Brother Yun into the clean room to wash his hands, while saying, "You can eat it, but you can't eat it so directly...... Wash your hands, my mother will take you and your sister to make a noodle melon cake for your younger brothers and sisters, okay? ”

"Ah, can't that brother and sister eat?" Brother Yun'er's face instantly fell, and he asked in a wrinkled voice.

Qiu Chen hurriedly grabbed Brother Yun'er's little hand, and said with a smile: "You came back from outside, and you can't pass through the cold...... Even this noodle melon can't just be eaten by younger brothers and sisters, they are too small, and cold things can't be restrained, and if they cause diarrhea, it will be troublesome. ”

It was precisely because of Qiu Chen's words that Brother Yun remembered it, and he didn't let go of a big noodle melon all the way, and he wanted to bring it to his three younger brothers and sisters to eat.

Back at Mu'en Courtyard, Brother Yun took a golden and fragrant melon and went straight to the West House. I just saw in the greenhouse that the planted noodles were ripe, and the fragrant dry noodles were not too welcome for adults to eat. However, Qiu Chen said: "It is quite welcome to give it to children who have no teeth or old men and women who have lost teeth." ”

The mother fed chickens, deer, geese or something, and went to pick some melons and fruits in the greenhouse, washed her hands in the greenhouse, and ate melons and fruits snacks once, and then turned back.

Qiu Chen watched the two children rejoice, and her mood was slightly better, but there was still one thing in her heart. She is looking for opportunities, ways and breakthroughs to probe her daughter's heart. Qiu Chen never thought that when she finally knew Man'er's heart, it was after experiencing that kind of heartache.

As if he didn't know what touched his daughter during lunch, Qiu Chen could sense that his daughter was in a cheerful mood, and some talked and laughed, went to the back garden, took Brother Yun, fed the chickens, fed the deer, fed the cranes and swans...... The siblings were busy and happy, and they were also happy, bursting with laughter.

Since her daughter pretended to be asleep, Qiu Chen didn't disturb her, and took a nap with her eyes closed.

Qiu Chen had something in his heart, he didn't feel sleepy, and turned his head, but saw that Aman's eyelashes were also shaking badly, obviously the little girl was not asleep.

Hiding all kinds of complicated feelings, Qiu Chen held a smiling face, teased his daughter and son for lunch, and after washing, the mother and the son rested for a while, Brother Yun was the most impatient, humming and chirping, but fell asleep after a while.

But Qiu Chen knows that such rapid growth is often accompanied by pain...... She didn't know what happened to the girl, but with such a rapid change, all the previous abnormalities indicated that what happened to the little girl was not ordinary...... Thinking about it makes her feel distressed, and she can hardly bear it.

It seems that in an instant, Aman has grown up from a naughty and coquettish little girl to a sensible and considerate girl!

It turns out that Aman loves to laugh, make trouble, love to be coquettish, and is also caring and sensible, but after all, he is young and doesn't pay much attention to taking care of people...... In my memory, Aman took the initiative to serve her vegetables for the first time!

Qiu Chen was overjoyed in his heart, a smile overflowed on his face, and he lowered his head and put the meat into his mouth. It's just that she knows that Aman seems to have regained his liveliness and laughter, but something has changed.

As he spoke, he took a piece of Gu Qi meat and put it in Qiu Chen's bowl.

Blinking his eyes, which were still a little dry, Aman pulled the corners of his mouth and opened a big smile, and said sweetly: "Mother, don't just talk about me, you can eat it quickly." ”

Biting his lip, he had already suppressed the momentary sadness and grievances, Aman raised his head and looked at his mother, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in his heart. Whether the father who has no memory at all is alive or not, she doesn't know how to deal with it for the time being, but her mother's love and spoiling over the years, as well as the hard work of the family, she really sees it in her eyes. Moreover, now that my mother has remarried a stepfather, and I have Brother Yun and Chang'er, and I have a happy life...... She didn't mention her father's life to her mother, so as not to affect her mother's rare happiness and happiness now!

In order to cover up his own scene, Aman bit his mouth and lowered his head, Qiu Chen felt that his hands were empty, and his heart was empty all of a sudden, pulling the pain, but he forced a smile, and his palm wiped the top of the little girl's head with Aman's movements, and said with a smile: "Silly girl, I'm sorry...... Eat quickly, see that your brother is about to finish eating, we still can't eat enough, and he should make a fuss again. ”

Such a doting voice, the touch of the warm palm on the head, and the familiar and cordial taste of the mother's own person, Aman's entanglement and hard work these days instantly turned into grievances and sadness, and his eyes turned red, and he almost burst into tears.

A touch of pain crossed his eyes, Qiu Chen forced himself to cover up the pain, as if unconscious, raised his hand to touch Aman's bun head, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, silly girl, are you still so polite to your mother?" ”

Qiu Chen's heart was cold and sour, a mother was treated by her daughter...... This feeling is not what it feels like, it is different from being betrayed, and it is also different from the usual backlash, the kind of small sour pain is not so intense, but it is definitely uncomfortable.

This reaction is very polite, but it is obviously different from the usual, so polite, but it is a lot more divided, not like the dialogue that the mother and daughter should have...... In the past, the mother and son talked and laughed, Qiu Chen laughed and scolded, and Aman coquettishly cheated, but they all felt that their hearts were very close, and they did not have this sense of separation.

Aman smiled wryly, took the soup bowl, dodged Qiu Chen's gaze and said, "Thank you, mother...... Well, I'll eat it myself......"

After a little groaning, Qiu Chen scooped up a spoonful of soup and sent it to Aman, seeing his daughter raise her head in slight surprise, Qiu Chen smiled and said, "What's wrong with Man'er?" How do you only eat without vegetables? I don't drink soup either...... You did a good job of tasting today's hibiscus shrimp balls, and this pineapple pork, you don't like this the most, why didn't you eat it today? ”

As he spoke, he paid attention to Aman, but found that his daughter, who also liked small animals, had no happy expression at all, and was eating the rice in the bowl with her eyes down, as if she didn't hear what she said at all.

Qiu Chen nodded with a smile, touched his son's head, and reminded, "Slow down, don't choke." ”

As soon as he heard this, Brother Yun was a little anxious, and sent the food to his mouth again and again, while saying vaguely: "I'll eat, I can finish ...... eating"

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Then you have to finish all these meals, otherwise, you won't have the strength to pull the weeds, and you won't be able to feed the deer!" ”

Brother Yun'er's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again, "Go, I'm going!" ”

There is a large area of water in the back garden of the Hou Mansion in Jingbei, and the red-crowned cranes and swans do not need to be fed in spring, summer and autumn, and it is enough to catch the fish and shrimp in the lake. In winter, the lake is frozen, so it is necessary not only to feed but also to build an aviary to shelter from the cold. Together with the deer hutch and the stables, they were all next to each other, in the corners of the back garden. In the past, Man'er and Yunge'er liked to feed these birds and deer.

Jingbei Hou Mansion naturally does not need to raise chickens and ducks, Qiu Chen said to feed the chickens, referring to a group of brocade chickens raised in the back garden for ornamental use. Not only the golden pheasant, but also a few sika deer, as well as a few red-crowned cranes and swans...... Other noble families love the mandarin ducks they raise, but Qiu Chen doesn't like them. Mandarin ducks are only artificially depicted as loving birds, in fact, mandarin ducks are not attentive, the most dedicated among the birds are red-crowned cranes and swans, once a pair of birds die, the other will die alone, or even die of hunger strike.

"In the afternoon, my sister and I went to the back yard to feed the chickens, do you want to follow?" Qiu Chen released the bait.

Qiu Chen's eyes swept away, Brother Yun pouted, and with some unhappiness, he dug up a mouthful of rice again and sent it to his mouth.

Because I went out of the city to Zhuangzi, the weather was cold, the road was far, I was afraid of the wind and cold, and I was afraid of other accidents, Brother Yun couldn't keep up with my brother today, and took Kang He to the ice in the morning to watch an ice play, and when I came back, I saw that only my mother and sister were quiet in the house, and the little things were also a little listless, and I had to drop them after eating two mouthfuls of food with a spoon.

At lunchtime, Ah Fu went to Zhuangzi to inspect and did not come back, Qin Zheng also let people spread the word that he went to Yongwang's Mansion to eat, so the only people who ate the meal were Ah Man and Brother Yun.

Back in Mu'en Courtyard, Qiu Chen washed and changed clothes, then returned to the room, sat down on her, held the tea and didn't have the heart to drink, just pondered silently.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't be sure, Qiu Chen pondered and felt that it was better to find a way to communicate with the child.

Thinking of this, Qiu Chen inevitably felt a little guilty. I was busy every day, and I was too careless, so I couldn't find out when the child was abnormal......

After thinking about it for a long time, Qiu Chen didn't figure out the reason for his daughter's change, but the time was almost certain, just after Yixuan Mingwei's mother and daughter and Yang Shumeng took Junyan and waited for the child to leave. Could it be a parting? Or is it because the sudden desertion at home makes the child a little uncomfortable? Other than this, Qiu Chen couldn't think of what had happened during this time. After Yixuan's mother and daughter said goodbye, Man'er went to school for a few days, and she didn't see anything unusual when she went out early and returned late every day. It wasn't until Yang Shumeng said goodbye and left, and she took Man'er with her, that she gradually realized that something was wrong with the child...... Or, before, after Yixuan Mingwei's mother and daughter said goodbye, the child was a little abnormal, but she didn't notice it?

The child's temperament suddenly changed drastically, and after being stunned, the first thing Qiu Chen had to do was to calm himself down and carefully recall the time and reason for his daughter's change.

I didn't pay attention to it, but when I noticed it, I was surprised to find that my daughter had changed so much, and the front and back tables were like two people, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that her temperament had changed dramatically!

Although Aman is naughty and naughty, he is also more self-reliant and precocious than ordinary children, but he also has the nature of ordinary children's mothers...... Looking back on the past few days, Man'er always said goodbye immediately after dealing with affairs, and the same was true after eating, coupled with obvious taciturnity......

It is almost natural for children to cling to their mothers, especially when they have not grown up, children are always willing to stay by their mother's side, even if they are playing with their friends, and they do not forget to look for their mothers from time to time. As long as the mother is still in sight, the child can play with peace of mind.

When a girl avoids her mother?

Before, Qiu Chen didn't notice anything wrong, and he didn't notice anything abnormal, but after noticing that his daughter was a little too supple and well-behaved, it was a little wrong to see his daughter say goodbye so urgently...... In such a hurry to say goodbye, in Qiu Chen's eyes, it was inevitable that he would avoid himself.

On this day, after dealing with the affairs, Aman silently accompanied Qiu Chen out of Songfeng Courtyard, and immediately said goodbye: "Mother, my daughter will go back to change her clothes, and then go over for lunch." ”
