After saying this, Xiao Douding's originally smiling cheeks sank, his eyes lit up, and he muttered in a low voice: "The children in the private school have fathers and mothers, but I don't, they all laugh at me, saying that I am a wild child that no one wants." ”

Hearing her say this, Zhan Qianche was pulled in a corner of his heart, and he was inexplicably sad. In the past, in the palace, he also heard a lot of such insults, just because his mother was from a common people, and even he was looked down upon, and even the palace maids and eunuchs dared not take him seriously in the palace.

So he entered the military camp at the age of sixteen, and made great achievements in the southern and northern wars for many years, and the Shadow Iron Army brought out by him was even more famous and terrifying.

It's just that Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, and he has such a great military prestige, even his father, who is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, is quite jealous of him, so he used her mother's life as a threat when he seized the heir, took his military power, and indirectly killed his mother.

Recalling all the past, Zhan Qianche reached out and touched Xiao Douding's head, and said in a deep voice: "In the future, when your mother is away, you will call me Daddy, and I will not let anyone bully you again." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Douding raised his head and stared at Zhan Qianche for a long time, and when he saw that his expression was determined, he nodded, stretched out the little finger of his right hand and said, "Pull the hook"

"Hmm" A faint smile appeared on Zhan Qianche's face, and he hooked his fingers with her in the same way as Xiao Douding. He lived in seclusion for three years, never expecting to make such a vow with a child.

When the two of them were descending the mountain, it was close to noon, Zhan Qianche cut a tree four or five meters long, the thickness of an adult man's thigh, and carried it on his shoulders, and there were three more quails in the bamboo basket, and Xiao Douding grabbed the hem of his clothes and followed him down the mountain.

Zhan Qianche was surprised that this four- or five-year-old child could follow him back and forth with him without crying or making trouble, and Xiao Douding even cast a look of admiration for this father who had just established a relationship in his heart. With her father's strength, if she adds younger siblings to the family in the future, she doesn't have to worry about being treated coldly.

.......

When the two returned home, Bai Qianning was already standing by the window and waiting a little annoying, just now that Aunt Xu's family left, she began to be busy cleaning up the house, even the animal fur hanging on the wall was arranged in order of depth and lightness, and when she was bored, she also caught a fish in the space to come out and steam it, she even thought of a reason, if Zhan Qianche asked, she said that she secretly ran to the small river in the village to fish.

"Mother!" Xiao Douding saw Bai Qianning and ran into the house with his little buttocks, and the frightened Tang Yuan, who was sleepy in the nest, almost exploded, and the sharp cry that belonged to the fox squeaked away.

"Why did you come back so late?" Bai Qianning couldn't help but complain, but when she saw the tree that Zhan Qianche put in the yard, she understood, and only asked, "This tree is used to make a new bed?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhan Qianche moved his shoulders that were a little stiff, the trees are relatively humid in winter, and they are naturally heavier to carry, so it is fake to say that he is not tired after a trip.

Putting the tree in the corner of the yard, Zhan Qianche put down the bamboo basket, picked up the quail in the bamboo basket and handed it to Bai Qianning and said, "This one is smaller, see if you can make any dishes." At the end, he added: "Those who are caught with their bare hands are still alive, if you want to let them go......"

"No, I'll bake them in the evening." Bai Qianning took the quail, and his mind was already reminiscing about the taste of roasted quail that he had eaten in modern times.

Swallowing his saliva silently, Bai Qianning turned around and went into the house and threw them into the bamboo basket in the corner, then walked to the stove and took out the steamed fish in the pot and put it on the table and said, "Let's eat this for lunch today." ”

"Fish? Mother, there is fish to eat! ”

Xiao Douding looked at the steaming fish on the table, shouted excitedly, and slapped loudly.

Bai Qianning saw that she was happy, so he also felt happy, and without waiting for Zhan Qianche to ask, he handed him a pair of chopsticks and said, "Taste it first, this is what I secretly went to the river to catch just now." ”

"By the river?"

Zhan Qianche hesitantly took the chopsticks, not to question why she dared to go out, but now that it is cold in winter, there are no fish in the river for a long time, and where did she get the luck to meet such a big carp.

It's just that I was so suspicious in my heart, but I didn't ask anything, but said: "There are few fish in that river, if you want to eat next time, tell me, and I will go to the lake in the middle of the mountain stream to catch it for you." ”

"Okay!" Bai Qianning saw that he didn't ask much, but he also answered briskly, added the cooked corn rice and handed it to them, and then opened up to eat it together.

In addition to the fish, there are also vegetables sent by Aunt Xu on the table, which are grown by herself in her yard, but they are cooked by frost and snow, and the taste is slightly worse.

With the vegetables and fish, Zhan Qianche's appetite was so big that he never stopped picking up the chopsticks, and Xiao Douding ate even more cheeks, repeatedly complaining that her mother's speed of picking fish bones was too slow.
