Chapter 237: Retirement (4)
Sitting on a recliner basking in the sun, holding a book in your right hand, holding a cup of tea on your left and right, reading a book and drinking tea, there is nothing more pleasant in life. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Approaching dusk, the autumn sun is not dazzling, coupled with the deep roots and dense forests around it, the temperature is also cool, Zhao Gu sat in the bamboo fence yard basking in the sun, and unconsciously had the urge to take a nap.
It's a pity that he just finished taking a nap an hour ago, or it will be dark in a while, and now is really not the time to sleep.
This is the benefit of seclusion, not to be happy with things, not to be sad about yourself, to eat when you want to eat, to laugh when you want to laugh, and to sleep when you want to sleep.
In fact, he is not a person who has so many sleepy people, but who called the two little babies at home, the baby cries at any time, Zhao Gu, a super dad, naturally has to take care of it all the time, even at night, so he doesn't get enough sleep every day.
No, just now when I felt sleepy, two loud cries came out, Zhao Gu shook his head and smiled, and immediately put down his book and walked into the bamboo house behind him.
Liu Qiaoqiao and Shangguan Sisi were each holding a child, undressing and preparing to feed, it seemed that the child was hungry.
Seeing Zhao Gu coming in, the two sons immediately looked at him, and they stopped crying with a smile on their faces.
It was only soon that they found that their father's gaze did not fall on them, but on their 'food', and the two boys were immediately unhappy, and opened their mouths and cried loudly.
Liu Qiaoqiao and Shangguan Sisiwan laughed out loud and fed their children, and Liu Qiaoqiao shook her son's 'milk bottle' as if demonstrating.
Zhao Gu was about to step forward, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, Su Xiaocheng and the Cheshire Lord then walked in, each carrying a small bamboo basket, which was filled with all kinds of wild vegetables and fruits, which was the harvest of the two daughters in one afternoon.
There was no way, Zhao Gu had to withdraw his fiery gaze and help the second daughter unload the bamboo basket and send it to the kitchen.
But why did Zhao Gu bask in the sun at home, and let Su Xiaocheng and the Lord of Cheshire go to the mountains to pick ingredients?
This also starts with the family just moving to the mountains.
On that day, after the family chose a place to live in seclusion, Zhao Gu took the lead in cutting down the bamboo, intending to use bamboo to build a house, but he didn't want a green snake to climb down from the bamboo behind Zhao Gu and bite Zhao Gu's throat, which shocked everyone into a cold sweat.
said that it was too late, and at the last moment, a scimitar flew from behind Zhao Gu with a 'brush', and cut the green snake into two pieces at once.
I thought that this knife was shot by a martial arts master, but when Zhao Gu looked back, he saw Mrs. Fan, Liu Qiaoqiao, and Shangguan Sisi all staring at Su Xiaocheng with ghostly expressions.
At that time, Zhao Gu thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Xiaocheng, is this what you threw over?" ”
Su Xiaocheng's face was slightly red: "That's the case, since Hou Zhou...... After the fall, the county lord and I depended on each other, because we were worried that someone would assassinate us, so the king of Yunnan had secretly found someone to teach us martial arts, so we ....... ”
"So you're all masters?" Zhao Gu said.
"Yes."
All right!
Zhao Gu smiled bitterly, it turned out that Su Xiaocheng and Lord Cheshire were still masters, and they were still taller than them from time to time, and they teased them, so they could seriously injure themselves with one palm.
Since then, whenever the family wants to eat wild meat, Su Xiaocheng and the Cheshire Lord will go up the mountain to pick it, no way, who calls them strong in martial arts.
After entering the kitchen, Zhao Gu simply didn't come out and started to cook dinner.
I made a cold salad with the wild vegetables picked by the second daughter, fried a few plates of fresh vegetables, steamed an egg custard, and dinner was ready.
Beckoning everyone to eat together, Zhao Gu then took over the two sons, scooped a few spoonfuls of rice soup with a small wooden spoon and fed them, and the two little ones who ate kept clicking their mouths.
The names of the two little guys are Zhao Yuandong and Zhao Yuanxi, the names are not particularly loud, on the contrary, they are a little ordinary, which is exactly the original intention of Zhao Gu when he took the name, he only hopes that these two children will grow up safely, and he doesn't want them to get ahead.
No way, who called this era feudalism, could it be that after being pitted by the emperor, he still had to teach his children to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family?
With him in their arms, Liu Qiaoqiao and Shangguan Sisi relaxed a lot, and immediately started to move, eating three bowls of rice and a lot of vegetables by themselves.
The second daughter was breastfeeding at this time, she was hungry very quickly, and she naturally ate a lot, especially the old hen raised by Zhao Gu and others after they came, and they would stew one for the second daughter almost every day.
After dinner, it was almost dark, and after laughing and laughing together for a while, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
In the bamboo building, there are a total of six rooms, one each for Zhao Gu, Su Xiaocheng, Liu Qiaoqiao, Shangguan Sisi, Lord Cheshire, and Mrs. Fan, most of the time Zhao Gu will sleep in Liu Qiaoqiao or Shangguan Sisi's room, but sometimes he will sleep in his own room.
As for Su Xiaocheng and the Cheshire Lord, he wanted to go over to sleep, but the second daughter disagreed.
Tonight, Zhao Gu came to Liu Qiaoqiao's room as usual, and after accompanying her to lull Zhao Yuandong to sleep, the two had intimate contact, and the day was over.
Early in the morning of the second day, the second dog, who ran out to play because he couldn't help but be idle, came back, and as soon as he entered the door, he told Zhao Gu about the recent events in the court, and the most talked about was the incident of Yi Dechao in Xixia.
After speaking, Ergouzi snorted unwillingly: "Our emperor, he is really shameless, obviously the way to pacify Xixia was thought of by the eldest brother, but he told the world that he came up with it, which made those people who didn't know why praise him vigorously." ”
Zhao Gu smiled and shook his head: "Ergouzi, don't say anything like this in the future, this is located in the deep mountains, it is okay for you to talk like this, but if you go outside, if you habitually speak freely, I am afraid that you will cause trouble for yourself." ”
Ergouzi nodded: "I see." By the way, Li Danran and Ergouzi asked me to send me the income account book of the property under the eldest brother's name, saying that they asked the eldest brother to check it and see if there was any problem. ”
Zhao Gu got up, stretched out his finger and pointed to the neighborhood, and asked, "Look here, is there anything missing?" ”
"Isn't there everything? What's missing? The second dog was puzzled.
"That's right, since there's nothing missing here, why are they sending the account books? Even if they send all the money they earn, what's the use of being here? Not even a pile of rotten stones. Zhao Gu said.
"But ......."
Zhao Gu smiled and patted Ergouzi on the shoulder: "Ergouzi, I know that you are all for my good, but everyone has their own ambitions, since I have decided to retire, I will no longer ask about outside affairs, I have a lot of industries in Kaifeng, but I am not keen on these things, you three brothers will take it and divide it." ”
"I know you like a lively and beautiful life, not used to the lightness in the mountains, you just go, go to Kaifeng to live a good life, if I want to go out for a walk in the future, our brothers will have their own goodbye day."
