"Big sister!" Shu Manyao was playing with Brother An, when he heard Shu Zhehui shouting at the door, and when he looked up, he saw Shu Zhehui rushing in in a hurry: "Quick, good news, Daddy just received the news, saying that it was a great victory in Western Xinjiang!" ”

Shu Manyao was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time to react, and quickly got up: "What did you say?" Is it really a great victory in Western Xinjiang? ”

Shu Zhehui nodded again and again: "Yes, my father asked me to come over and tell you, my father originally planned to come over and tell you by himself, but when I went out, I met Lord Chen, it seems that there is something to discuss with my father, and the eldest brother is not at home, so I have to let me come over and talk to you first, big sister and wait for two days with peace of mind, Ming'er court will definitely meet the affairs of Western Xinjiang, maybe the eldest brother-in-law will come back soon." ”

"Really?" Shu Manyao asked again, Shu Zhehui nodded vigorously: "Yes, I definitely won't use this kind of thing to deceive the big sister, doesn't the big sister of my father know yet?" If the news is not 100% accurate, it will never be said, big sister, you can rest assured. ”

As soon as Shu Zhehui's words fell, he saw the little man rushing over and hugging his legs: "Second uncle, are you saying that my father is coming back?" ”

Shu Zhehui smiled and bent down to pick him up, and reached out to pinch An Ge'er's tender cheek: "Yes, is An Ge'er Gao happy?" Your dad will be back in six months at the latest, at the earliest, well, in three months. ”

"Really? My dad is coming back? The little child's face was full of joy: "Does the second uncle know what my father looks like?" Will my dad like me as much as my grandfather does? My mother said that my father is a general and very capable, so can my father beat Brother Ming's father? ”

Brother Ming is Qi Chengchen's youngest son, almost the same age as Brother An, plus Cheng's twin Fusheng and Ping'an, several children often play in one place, and they are very familiar. Fusheng is okay, he is one year older than Brother An, and he knows that he is an uncle, and he was taught by Cheng and Shu Chengye to protect his niece and niece, and he is very humble to Brother An and Sister Le on weekdays.

Brother Ming is different, when he plays, he is the same as anything, and he can fight when he quarrels. Brother Ming can't beat Brother An, so he will say that his father will take revenge or something. So Brother An remembered it, for fear that his father would not be able to beat Brother Ming'er's father.

"Then you can definitely beat it, you see Brother Ming'er's father, he is thin and thin, and he doesn't have much flesh on his body, your father is a head taller than Brother Ming'er's father, and he is stronger than Brother Ming's father, he will definitely be able to beat Brother Ming'er's father."

"Does my dad look exactly like the man in the portrait?" Brother An asked again, Shu Zhehui nodded very seriously: "Yes, it's not bad at all, your father is very handsome, and Brother Ming's father is far from your father." ”

As he was talking, he heard a soft and glutinous voice calling his mother from the inner room, Shu Manyao hurriedly went in, and saw her daughter Sister Le sitting on the bed, rubbing her eyes with her white and tender little hands, she had just woken up, and she was still confused. Shu Manyao hurriedly went over, sat on the edge of the bed and pulled down her hand: "Didn't my mother say that you are not allowed to rub your eyes with your hands?" You see, isn't it not beautiful when your eyes are rubbed? ”

Sister Le is cute and beautiful on weekdays, and when she heard Shu Manyao's words, she struggled to get up and look in the mirror. Shu Manyao took her to the mirror and took a look, Sister Le was very unhappy when she looked at the red eyes, and regretted a little: "Mother, I will never rub my eyes again." ”

"Well, if you don't rub your eyes, you're still the prettiest little girl." Shu Manyao nodded with a smile and dressed Sister Le: "Your second uncle is here, let's go to my grandfather's house to play later?" ”

"Okay, I want to give one to the fourth aunt the bracelet that my mother bought me two days ago." Sister Le nodded hurriedly, and Shu Manyao kissed her on the face: "Okay, you can bring it with you later, and let your fourth aunt pick one she likes." ”

Sister Le'er's smiling eyes narrowed, and when she was carried outside by Shu Manyao, she stretched out her arm to Shu Zhehui: "Second uncle, hug." ”

Although Shu Zhehui is already fourteen years old, he is only a half-old young master, and he doesn't have so much strength, Shu Manyao took over Brother An, and Brother An excitedly told his sister the good news: "Second uncle said, Daddy is coming back, our Daddy is handsome, exactly the same as the mother's painting, Daddy is a general!" Riding such a tall horse, he can also box, and he can knock Brother Ming's father down with one punch! ”

Sister Le's eyes widened: "Daddy? ”

"yes, yes, our daddy is coming back." Brother An happily shared the good news with her sister: "When the time comes, let my father take us to play on the street, my mother can't hold us, every time I go to the street, I have to let my mother-in-law hold us, my grandfather is too busy, my uncle has to hug Qiao'er, and my second uncle's strength is too small." Grandpa Qi never goes to play on the street, and Uncle Qi has to hug Brother Ming. ”

Brother An disliked the people around her: "Our father, only the two of us will be hugged when the time comes!" ”

Sister Le'er's eyes also lit up: "Then will Daddy buy me the clothes and bracelets I like?" "She is only four years old, and the only jewelry she can bring is necklaces and bracelets, not even earrings. The little girl loves stinky beauty, she can carry five or six bracelets on her hand at a time, and her clothes have to be changed every day. Fortunately, she is not the kind of extravagant, and she is still willing to wear the clothes that she has worn a few times, as long as they are not torn.

"Definitely!" Brother An was categorical: "If he doesn't buy it for you, we won't call him Daddy!" ”

Shu Zhehui laughed on the side, Brother An didn't understand what he was laughing at, and looked at him with a confused expression. Shu Manyao couldn't help laughing, fed Sister Le half a glass of water with a teacup, and told someone to prepare the car, she planned to take the child to Shu's house to ask in person.

Shu Chengye's news is much more detailed: "This great victory, the vitality of the Tubo tribes has been greatly damaged, and it will not be able to recover without more than ten years, so the western Xinjiang side will be calm for at least twenty years." Jianbai will be able to come back in half a year at the latest, and this time his credit is not small, the previous one, he led people to lure the enemy, and finally killed it back, and the inside and outside should be combined, so he won the battle. ”

"I will still send someone to the peace talks this time, you don't have to worry, this time the Western Xinjiang has indeed settled down, you just wait with peace of mind, Jianbai will come back this time, and the good days of the two of you will come."

Shu Chengye comforted Shu Manyao with kind words, and asked Brother An and Sister Le again: "I haven't seen you for a few days, have you grown taller?" Have you gained weight? You are too strict with them, Brother An is only a few years old, you let him sit at the desk every day, even your brother and a few of them, they are all six years old before they came to the front yard to be enlightened by me, you are good, Brother An is only four years old, you can't wait to let him read four books! ”

"Daddy, I'm not thinking about letting him learn something, and saving him from being idle all day long, asking questions every day." Shu Manyao said a little embarrassed, when children grow up, they are always curious, others have their fathers by their side, why don't he and his sister have them.

asked too much, and Shu Manyao became impatient, so he found something to do for the little things.

Shu Chengye didn't want a daughter if he had a granddaughter, and glared at Shu Manyao angrily: "You are idle at home on weekdays, so what's wrong with answering the child a few words?" Brother An'er's hands are still soft now, it's not for his good that you let him write like this! ”

"Daddy, don't worry, I didn't let Brother An write, so I let him read." Shu Manyao hurriedly begged for mercy: "Daddy, don't be angry, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future, besides, I'm just a woman's family, I only know how to raise my daughter on weekdays, Brother An is a boy, and I don't know how to teach on weekdays, for fear that he will fall into your reputation Daddy." ”

Shu Chengye glanced at her, got up and walked to the backyard, and Shu Manyao hurriedly followed.

The room was the same as in the past, festive, the old lady sat on the soft couch, smiling contentedly, her greatest wish in this life is to have children and grandchildren, children and grandchildren are healthy, all have been realized, and she is happy every day.

Fusheng and Brother An got together to play nine consecutive rings, Sister Le and Ping'an, and Sister Qiao sat together and looked through the album. However, Sister Qiao is young and can't read it at all, and this album is only black and white, which is not as attractive as the bracelet on Sister Le'er's hand.

Sister Le was generous, and when she saw her sister pulling her bracelet, she hurriedly took it off and stuffed it to Sister Qiao'er: "Give it to my sister, sister take it to play." Ping An smiled and said, "Sister Le, you give me a bracelet, and I have something to give you." ”

"Really? What is it? Sister Le hurriedly asked, Ping An smiled and pulled down a purse from her waist, the little fat finger took a lot of effort to open it, took out the things inside and handed it to Sister Le, Sister Le looked at it twice, and immediately fell in love: "It's so beautiful, what is this?" Is it a flower inside? Real flowers or fake flowers? ”

"Fake flowers." Ping'an leaned over and said, "This is what my uncle bought for me, there are six of them, don't you like begonia flowers?" So I specially picked this begonia flower for you. ”

"And what other flowers are they?" Sister Le asked curiously, and Ping An folded her hands: "There are peony flowers, plum blossoms, orchids, ......."

The old lady stretched out her hand and pulled Shu Manyao to sit down beside her: "Have you entered Manyu in the past few days?" ”

Shu Manyao shook her head, and before she could speak, she heard the old lady complain: "Manyu, this child, is too uncertain, she is used to living a good life at home, and she is still so lavish when she goes out, I said a few words to her a few days ago, her dowry is not uncounted, and it will be gone after it is spent, is it possible that she does not plan to leave it to her children and grandchildren at all?" As a result, she went back in anger, and it was half a month later, and she didn't come back to see. ”

"Don't worry, grandmother, it's her own dowry, and when she has trouble with money, she should know what to do. Besides, the shop and Zhuangzi in her dowry are not half a penny, and the Cai family will not sit idly by and watch her spend so much money. Shu Manyao smiled and comforted, saying that he didn't know the price of firewood and rice, and Shu Manyu was like this.

Originally, when he was in the Shu family, the money was passed by one stroke, no matter how big it was, Shu Manyu never changed his face, the Shu family was rich, and he didn't care about that. But when she arrived at the Cai family, she still spent money like before, and the Cai family couldn't hold on a little, there wasn't much in the account book, and she spent a year's money in three months, and she had to save without a dowry.

Shu Manyu is also a golden and noble at home, how can he stand the poor life? Moreover, the heat of love must always recede, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the focus of life, when the passion of the past becomes trivial now, Shu Manyu has also changed.

"Hey, I'm just worrying about it in vain, Manyu's child hasn't listened to persuasion since he was a child." The old lady sighed: "If she can figure it out, she can still live a good life, if she can't figure it out all the time, she is so confused, then no matter how good the day is, it will be tossed away." Don't talk about her, don't make people angry, I heard your father say, Jianbai will be back soon? ”

Shu Manyao smiled and nodded: "Well, half a year at most, when the time comes, it will be just in time for Brother An and Sister Le's fifth birthday." ”

The old lady smiled and laughed: "You finally got out, I originally thought that when he came back from Northern Xinjiang, the emperor would not send him to the expedition, but I didn't expect that he would go to Western Xinjiang again." Your good days have finally arrived. It just so happens that after raising you for so many years, your health is almost better, and you will have to add a few younger brothers and sisters to Brother An and Sister Le in the future. ”
