Zou Lansi looked at her daughter's tearful little face squeezed into her chest again, stroked her head and quipped, "Isn't it your heart?" ”

Zou Yichen hurriedly shook his head, but his nose couldn't stop rubbing left and right on his father's chest, and there were a puddle of nose stains on Zou Lansi's chest, which was very obvious.

After Zou Lansi saw it, he laughed and said: "This glimmer of heaven, is there a little more heroic spirit on my father's face?" This nose stain is faint on this pale blue jacket, like a river, is it the icing on the cake? You see, Daddy has it in the sky, there is also it on the earth, and the key is whether you are the most courageous person. He said with his eyes swept towards everyone.

Zou Yichen thought to himself: "This knife must hurt tightly when it goes down to the face, and Daddy still has the heart to laugh." Slightly angry, his lips and teeth opened slightly to refute, and then he thought about it: "Daddy finally came back, if he said nothing, it would inevitably spare Daddy's interest." His body shook slightly, and he sobbed: "No matter what Daddy looks like, Yi'er thinks that Daddy is the most heroic person in the world, and no one can compare to Daddy." ”

Zou Jingchen saw that his sister had long been used to her father's coquettishness, but looking at her father's appearance, she was a lot darker. Zou Lansi saw that his son was fascinated by himself, and called softly: "Jing'er, you have also grown up a lot." As he spoke, he walked towards Zou Jingchen.

Seeing his father approaching, Zou Jingchen became more and more afraid. Unconsciously clenched his fists, his father walked closer and closer, Zou Jingchen's fists clenched tighter and tighter, and his nails were sunk in the flesh.

It turned out that Zou Lansi was more partial to his daughter than to his son. He adheres to the idea that a man needs to stand up to the sky and be poor, and his daughter is like a delicate first snow, and he needs to treat each other gently, and treats the two differently. In order for boys to have the temperament that men should have, women should be delicate, so that they can have a good home and find a good partner in the future.

"Let Daddy take a good look at me." As he spoke, he walked to Zou Jingchen's side, put his hands on his shoulders, and patted him gently. Zou Jingchen was a little frightened by this fear, and unconsciously took a step back.

Zou Lan Si Yirin, he never thought that his son would react like this. I was inevitably a little disappointed in my heart, and I thought, "That's it, that's it." ”

It turned out that before Zou Jingchen's accident, Zou Lansi was indeed cold to Zou Jingchen, but since his leg was lame, he became good and soft-spoken every time he spoke, for fear that any sentence would make Zou Jingchen unhappy. But he didn't know that it was precisely because of him that Zou Jingchen became what he is now.

On the day Zou Jingchen was killed with a lame leg, Zou Lansi was unable to stay at home while fighting outside. When he received the letter, it was like five thunderbolts when he heard the news. Fortunately, when he set up camp and went down to the village, he quickly rode his horse and returned with a whip.

At this time, Zou Jingchen has been locking himself in the house for a long time and not going out, and no one is visible. He waited for his father's return, thinking that his father would not pity him like everyone else, so that at least he could feel that he was a normal person, but he did not expect the pity in his father's eyes to become more and more intense. His heart was dead, his face was ashes, and his last glimmer of hope was dashed.

Lan saw that Zou Lansi was a little sad, and hurriedly relieved the siege and said, "Go down quickly, Daddy is tired of traveling." I'll catch up with you tomorrow. ”

As soon as Zou Yichen heard this, he immediately understood his mother's intentions, and then turned around and left. Before he stepped out of the door, he saw a long sword on the side wall of the door. She frowned slightly, and thought to herself, "How could my father put this long sword here?" "This moon-white long sword is the sword that Zou Lansi used to gallop on the battlefield to kill the enemy. Zou Yichen thought to himself: "Could it be that Daddy won't stay for a few more days?" He asked softly, "Daddy, is Daddy still leaving?" ”

Looking at the sword that Zou Yichen pointed to in the corner, Zou Lansi nodded and said, "Well, Daddy will leave tomorrow." ”

"How many more days?" Zou Yichen's words revealed a hint of begging.

"Recently, the army is going to the land of Leshu in the southwest, I'm afraid my father won't be able to accompany you." Zou Lansi said in a low tone.

"Can Daddy take me?"

Thinking that it was not the first time that Zou Yichen had said this, Zou Lansi joked: "Oh? Isn't my daughter going to join the army for my father again? ”

"Yi'er, I want to follow Daddy."

Zou Lansi laughed nonsense: "How can there be a father in the world who goes to the battlefield and gets a drag oil bottle?" It's not too early, so let's rest early. ”

Hearing Zou Lansi say this, Zou Yichen couldn't help but pout, and walked out slowly.

Zou Yichen is active by nature, and he is born with brute strength. As long as Zou Lansi is at home, she will definitely wield her father's sword. Fortunately, every time he was seen by Zou Lansi in time, he didn't make a big mistake. Zou Lansi had long been accustomed to his daughter's nonsense for no reason, and besides, he had heard about today's events many times, so he didn't take it to heart.

After the brother and sister left, Zou Lansi sat on the bed and ordered his subordinates to wash themselves, but was stopped by the Lan family. "You've been tired for a long time, so let me help you wash up today." said and looked at Zou Lansi with affection.

Zou Lansi was first shocked when he heard Lan say this, and then understood his wife's tenderness and sweetness. He smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand, gently pulled up Lan's fingers, and whispered softly: "Lan'er, I've worked hard for you this time." I'm not at home, thanks to you taking care of it. ”

Lan Shi was holding his fingers, and suddenly felt like a poplar bark wrapped around his hand, thick and hard. Zou Lansi fought in the south and the north, with nearly 1,000 bloody blades, and coupled with the practice of day and night, he naturally gave birth to a thick cocoon.

"The master is also hard and tight outside, you see, your hands." As he spoke, he lifted Zou Lansi's palm and stroked the hard cocoon on his hand. When Lan saw this, his heart couldn't help but feel sour, and then, thinking of the scar on his right cheek, he couldn't stop the tears anymore, and he swirled in his eyes.

Zou Lansi saw Lan's eyes red, helped her gently wipe the rolling tears, and slowly comforted her: "Men are ambitious in all directions, and it is common for them to shed blood and night sweats for the rise and fall of the country. Lan'er, why don't you worry about it, you just need to think of me to protect my family and defend the country in the future. ”

Lan stared at Zou Lansi, he didn't want to cry, but the tears of tears couldn't stop falling. "It's just, it's just...... Lan'er feels sorry for you, so hard. In the midst of choking, his voice was a little louder.

When Zou Lansi heard Lan say this, his nose was sour, and he seemed to be about to cry. But when you think about your own dignified seven-foot man, it must be inappropriate to show your soft side in front of women. At this time, Zou Lansi's fingers were inserted into Lan's hair, and Lan knew her husband's intentions, so she put her forehead on her husband's shoulder. Zou Lansi took this opportunity to squeeze back his tears.

The two snuggled up to each other on the bed, as if time stood still and the years were good.
