Since the four or five rooms of the Cao family have been sorted out, the other clans have stopped thinking about the idea of giving Cao Kui their step-heirs, not only have a lot of respect for the Chen family, but even a lot of stammering. Chen's life was completely calm, this mood was relaxed and happy, people were naturally cheerful, and in the cold winter, Chen's stomach was like a balloon, and it quickly blew up.

Because the Chen family has a body, and the month is getting older, in order to let her concentrate on raising the baby, Su Liu consciously entrenched in the Cao family and took the initiative to help the Chen family take over most of the feed, so there are no trivial worries, and Chen's breath is getting better and better.

On this day, Su Liu had just finished dealing with the affairs of giving New Year's gifts to various families, and Shuang Ning hurriedly said that Ning Guang had sent someone to send New Year's gifts.

"Take a look at the list." Without waiting for Su Liu to speak, Chen said with a smile.

Frost Ning answered, handed over another New Year's gift list, and then handed over a letter, covering her mouth and snickering.

Su Liu glared at her, but she couldn't hide her joy, opened the letter and read it slowly.

The letter said that Ning Guang had captured three cities in the north and led a large army to the hinterland of the north, and if there was no accident, at most next year, the war would be over.

Su Liu exclaimed in surprise when he saw this, his heart pounded, and he bit his lip and continued to watch.

Knowing that the Chen family has a body, this New Year's gift, in addition to most of the gifts for Su Liu, there are also many furs, among which there is a mink fur, which was hunted by Ning Guang when he was hunting in the snow of the northern country when he was free, and it is just right to make a cloak for the Chen family, and so on.

Ning Guang is not a mother-in-law, and the letter didn't say much about how he was and whether he was injured, but Su Liu knew that he didn't say it, on the battlefield, injuries were inevitable.

At the end of the letter, there are still three words: I miss you!

Pressing the letter to his chest, Su Liu's eyes were slightly wet, and he scolded in a low voice: Bastard, it makes people want to cry every time.

"What's wrong? But what's the matter with Ning Guang? Chen asked.

Su Liu hurriedly pressed the corners of his eyes and said, "What is not the thing is that the sand is blind." ”

Chen snorted in disgust, and then raised the list in his hand and said, "Come and see, this kid has sent a lot of things." ”

Su Liu took the list, took a cursory glance, and said, "He also has filial piety, so he specially greeted you, and specially beat this mink for you." ”

"It's hard for him." Chen was also very happy, and said with a smile: "It is not uncommon for him to be around, but I will be satisfied if I come back safely and early in the morning." ”

Su Liu smiled, gave the list back to Shuang Ning, and said, "You go and pick out a few good skins to make a cloak for Mrs. and Master, and then choose a few to send to the Song family." After thinking about it, she said: "That's it, let's put it aside first, I'll choose it myself, and the rest of the large items will be stored according to the specifications." ”

"Yes, girl."

"Eldest sister, I heard that my brother-in-law is here for a New Year's gift?" Su Xiao ran in quickly.

"You girl, you're going to be in time, and you're still so frizzy, what are you like?" Chen glared at her and said, "What a big girl's family, when you don't have a proper shape, you don't have to be laughed at." ”

"Oh, mother, isn't there no outsider?" Su Xiao pouted and said, "You will catch me a lesson, won't people be happy to listen to my brother-in-law's New Year's gift." ”

"Can I miss your share?" Chen said angrily.

"Sister." Su Xiao hurriedly asked Su Liu for help.

"My mother didn't say anything wrong about you, it's time to get married, but it's an adult, and it's time to get married." Su Liu also smiled.

Chen nodded again and again after hearing this, looking deeply approving.

Su Xiao blushed when she heard this, and said shyly: "I don't want it, I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry, besides, the eldest sister hasn't married yet." ”

"How can your eldest sister be the same?" Chen glared at her fiercely and said, "You also learn some rules and etiquette, and my mother doesn't expect you to be a beautiful and elegant lady, and she can't count on it. ”

Su Xiao stuck out his tongue, looked at Su Liu with his hands folded, and begged for help!

Su Liu chuckled and changed the subject: "What about Ye'er, not with you?" ”

Speaking of Chen Ye, Su Xiao sat on the chair and said with a sad face: "Who knows where he went, he is mysterious and secretive for a while, and he doesn't know what to do?" ”

Chen frowned and said, "Indeed, I see that the child's preoccupied appearance these days has been reduced a lot. ”

Su Liu frowned slightly when he heard this, and thought for a while: "I guess it's too cumbersome to study?" ”

A twelve- and thirteen-and-a-half-year-old boy is in the rebellious period, Chen Ye's temperament will not be rebellious, but because his experience is not as good as that of ordinary children, he is more sensible and calm than children of the same age, and such a person is more able to hide things in his heart.

"I think he's a yin and yang weird." Su Xiao snorted, obviously, very dissatisfied with Chen Ye's recent performance.

"Okay, he's still a kid, I'll talk to him when I'm free." Su Liu appeased a few words, and then diverted Su Xiao's attention with the New Year's gift sent by Ning Guang.

I was going to talk to Chen Ye, but within two days, Su Liu and Chen's Cao Kui were talking about the preparations for the New Year, and Su Xiao returned home angrily and scolded Chen Ye for being ungrateful.

"Father, mother, eldest sister, what's wrong with you being this person these days? Oh, I have climbed the high branches, and I can't look down on our family, and I can't look down on our identity as these businessmen and peasant girls. Su Xiao pointed at Chen Ye and accused loudly, his eyes turned red as he spoke, and his red lips pursed tightly, obviously very aggrieved and injured.

Originally, she thought that Chen Ye was not in a good mood in the past two days, and she looked very worried, so she planned to pick him up from school, and then accompany him to go out to play together, so as to relax, but when she went to the school, she saw him walking in a hurry, so she followed out of curiosity.

This followed, went to a certain inn, only to see Chen Ye and a man talking, and listened closer, but she was shocked inexplicably, this man turned out to be Chen Ye's biological father, who came to look for him, and Chen Ye actually planned to go back to his original home with his biological father.

"I'm willing to go back home with you."

Hearing Chen Ye's words, Su Xiao's whole person was stunned, his heart seemed to have been dug out raw, disappointed, sad, and then angry, and he went crazy on the spot.

Su Liu, who was also confused, listened to Su Xiao's words, and they were all shocked as if they had been struck by a muffled thunder, and looked at Chen Ye speechless.

I have always known that Chen Ye's origin is not simple, how do I know that he is the son of an official family, and I also thought that one day maybe Chen Ye would also recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, but after so many years, no one came to look for him, and Chen Ye did not say that he wanted to go back, so they took it for granted that in this life, Chen Ye was a member of their family.

But I never thought about it, it's not that I didn't come to look for it, it's just that the time hasn't come.

"Is this true?" Chen Shi looked at Chen Ye in a daze and asked.

Chen Ye bit his lip, lowered his head, and knelt down in front of Chen and them with a pop.

Seeing this scene, what else is there to say, I am afraid that what Su Xiao said is true, Chen Ye really wants to go back to his original home.

With this realization, Chen's heart ached, his mind was a little white, and his body shook, looking like he wanted to faint.

"Mei Niang, Mei Niang." Cao Kui, who was sitting next to her, quickly held her hand.

Su Liu and Su Xiao were both startled, and even Chen Ye looked at Chen with a worried expression.

"Look at you, make me like this, my mother treats you like a parent, my sister and I also treat you as a brother, I don't forget you if you have anything delicious and useful, that's how you repay us?" Su Xiao saw that Chen's face was not good-looking, and he was so angry that he was about to run away, pointing at Chen Ye and scolding: "Is your father so good to you?" Don't forget, the tragic situation of you and your mother in the broken temple back then, if it weren't for me and my sister, your mother's corpse would not have been collected, and it is estimated that you are also a little beggar now. You, you, now that people are saying two good words to you and two sweets, you will go in a mess. Chen Ye, you are so capable, you are worthy of us! You immature white-eyed wolf! ”

"Tiny." Chen scolded: "Hugh is talking nonsense. ”

Su was stingy, seeing that Chen Ye lowered his head and did not refute or speak, he stomped his feet and said angrily: "If you want to go, you can go, I am not rare." With that, he ran out as fast as he could.

Chen Ye's shoulders moved, and the hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists, but he never resisted and didn't catch up.

"Tiny." Chen looked at Su Xiao's back and was a little worried.

"Don't worry, I'll go and take a look, don't be too sad." Cao Kui patted the back of her hand, glanced at Chen Ye, who was kneeling on the ground, pursed his lips and went out.

Chen Ye was so motionless, Chen Shi saw the heartache, his expression was complicated and inexplicable, and he sighed and said, "Ye'er, you get up and talk first." ”

Chen Ye still didn't move, and Su Liu said: "Get up, my mother's current body is not angry." Then he got up and stood by with his head bowed.

"It's your father, do you recognize it?" Chen asked gently.

Chen Ye slowly raised his head, looked at Chen, and nodded.

Chen reluctantly pulled out a smile and asked, "Do you really want to go back?" Ye'er, but my mother has been snubbing you recently? Don't worry too much, even if you have younger brothers and sisters, you are also your mother's son. ”

"That's not the case, mother, I don't look like I'm competing for favor with my younger brothers and sisters, I know that my mother treats me well." Chen Ye hurriedly explained.

"Then why are you ......" Chen's eyes were slightly red, and he finally pursed his lips and said: "Well, in the end, that family is a magistrate, with such a family background, and you will go smoothly on the road to the imperial examination in the future, it is better than following a white body like your mother, you can go back if you want to." ”

Chen Ye opened his mouth, stopped talking, clenched his fists, lowered his head, and said, "Mother, you are my mother, and you will not change in this life." ”

Chen Shi showed a wry smile and said: "Xiaoxiao, her temperament has always been violent, I will talk about her, you don't blame her for not choosing her words, she is really so angry when you are your own brother." ”

"I know." Chen Ye said in a low voice, his voice so small that it was not clear to hear.

Chen sighed and said, "You go down, I'm not very comfortable at this time, let's talk about this later." ”

Chen Ye raised his head, his eyes were red, and finally he just kowtowed and walked out.

"If it's not your own, you won't be able to keep it." Chen looked at his vanishing back, and a tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
