Chapter 111: Growing Up
An Guogong really had a ping-pong fight with the four children in the garden, and then ...... Then he broke a precious bonsai carefully cultivated by the Duchess of Anguo.
The bonsai flipped off the shelf in an uproar, and everyone, including An Guogong, was dumbfounded.
However, it was too late to hide at this time, because Duchess An Guo had been looking for her daughter everywhere, and she had just gotten the news that her daughter was in the back garden, and the moment she walked over, she happened to see her beloved bonsai fall from the shelf.
"Daddy accidentally broke it." Mu Hongshang did not hesitate to betray his teammates for the first time.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's Uncle. The other three parties immediately nodded in agreement.
"Alas! It's really a day of peace of mind. Duchess An Guo looked at An Guogong with a complaining face: "It's just that the children are naughty, how old are you, and you are still messing around with the children."
"Hehehe......" An Guogong looked at his lady with a smile, and was trying his best to use his brain to give himself a reason to get away with the crime: "I'm not looking at the red clothes and their female celebrities are done, help them try it...... Oh, yes, backpacks. ”
An Guogong smiled and unloaded the backpack from his shoulder, walked to the gazebo, and beckoned to Duchess An Guo: "Ah Luo, come and see, this thing made by the children is really easy to use."
He took out all the things in his backpack in front of Duchess An Guo before he spoke: "The bilateral shoulder straps, plus the waist buckle, are very stable on the back, which saves effort than the package on the diagonal back, and can carry more weight, which is a long-distance march, you can bring more dry food." Ah Luo, can you make one for me according to this? I'll take it with me when I go to the North next month. ”
"Daddy......" The smile on Mu Hongsheng's face disappeared suddenly, her eyes widened, looking at her father and mother in the pavilion, as if she didn't understand what her father was just saying.
"Inside...... Red clothes," An Guogong lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look at his daughter's shining eyes: "Daddy told you that Daddy asked the emperor to go to the north, and the emperor has already allowed it." Daddy is leaving next month, and he will be in the north for both years. But don't be afraid of being bored, won't Big Brother be back soon! There is also the third uncle, and the third uncle will come back at the end of the year, so Hongshang won't be boring, and it doesn't matter if Daddy is not there. And ......"
Mu Hongshang didn't speak, just quietly listened to her father's endless chatter, An Guoshang chattered for a long time before stopping, and at this time Mu Hongshang slowly walked to An Guogong's side, stretched out his hand to hold his sleeve, and responded softly: "Hmm!" I know. Daddy wants to be safe, my mother and I are waiting for you to come back. ”
"Hongshang has grown up," An Guogong touched his daughter's head with emotion, and recalled with a smile: "I remember the last time my father went to the north, Hongshang was so tall, holding Daddy's leg and crying endlessly, that strength is so strong, your grandmother and mother can't break your little hand together."
Mu Hongsheng's big eyes flashed slightly, and then he smiled at An Guogong: "Could it be that my father still wants me to cheat?" That's not possible, I've grown up, and I'm afraid of losing face. ”
"Hongsheng," An Guogong paused before continuing, "It's Daddy who is sorry for you, I didn't want to tell you so early." Your eldest brother will be back soon, and you are happy every day, and Daddy originally wanted to keep you happy, and after your birthday is over, tell you that Daddy is going to the north. Can ......"
"Daddy," Mu Hongshang shook his head with a smile: "It's good to tell me earlier, when does Daddy plan to leave?"
"End of June." An Guogong replied: "I have to wait for my daughter's thirteenth birthday before I can set off."
"That's a little over a month." After thinking about it, Mu Hongshang asked with a smile, "Daddy, can I make you a backpack?" You're going to the north, my mother must have a lot of things to prepare, I'm very busy, I'll sew a backpack for my father, as long as my father doesn't think my sewing is ugly. ”
"Yes!" An Guogong also nodded with a smile: "The backpack you made for the iron clothes and Chi clothes is also for your father, and you don't need to find a post post, your father will take you to the north together, don't worry, you will definitely hand it over to your brother."
"Good!" Mu Hongsheng nodded seriously, and really rolled up the two newly made backpacks and handed them to An Guogong: "I'll hand them over to Daddy."
"Okay," Duchess An Guo walked over, reached out and touched her daughter's head, and said in a calm tone: "Tsing Yi, take your younger brothers and sisters to grandmother, your eldest aunt in Qinzhou sent someone back to Beijing to ask for peace, and brought a lot of things, and grandmother asked you to come over to see." As soon as I got out of school, I ran away, but I was easy to find. ”
"Yes." Mu Qingyi walked over and pulled Mu Hongsheng's sleeve: "Let's go, let's go to grandmother." Wait a minute, let grandmother open the warehouse and find us a new piece of cloth, and the fourth brother will accompany you to make a backpack for the uncle. ”
"Good!" Mu Hongshang nodded with a smile and followed Mu Qingyi towards the corner gate of the garden. Duchess An Guo looked at the backs of the children and couldn't help but sigh.
"Aluo, don't be upset." An Guogong took his wife in his arms and patted her on the shoulder: "The red dress is big and sensible, this is a good thing."
"It's better to make her cry for a while." Duchess An Guo replied.
The children went out of the garden together, and the three brothers of the Mu family couldn't help but secretly glance at Mu Hongsheng. glanced at it again and again, and finally Mu Hongsheng couldn't help but touch her face: "Why do you always look at me?"
"Little sister," Mu Qingyi's tone was a little cautious: "Are you really okay?" If you want to cry, cry, it's okay, the fourth brother doesn't tell others. ”
"Why am I crying?" Mu Hongshang looked at Mu Qingyi inexplicably: "Because is my father going to the north?" But the fourth brother, the fifth brother and Jinyi, aren't the three of your fathers all in the north! I haven't been back for years, you haven't cried, I have nothing to cry about. ”
"I was crying when my father went on the expedition," Mu Jinyi was sincere: "Crying is crying, what's the big deal."
"You were only seven years old at the time," Mu Hongsheng threw a white eye to his brother: "I'm thirteen years old, okay?" Compare something to you. ”
"How can you ...... at the age of thirteen" Mu Jinyi muttered in a low voice: "Why can't you cry at the age of thirteen......"
"What are you doing all the time?" Mu Hongsheng smiled and patted Mu Jinyi's head: "Jinyi, the third uncle will be back at the end of the year, you must be very happy, right?"
"I can't tell what I think...... Mu Jinyi showed a tangled expression: "I really miss my father, I hope my father can come back soon." But Daddy is back, isn't my brother even more lonely in the North......"
