Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu a little nervously, for fear that the lady would be reluctant to come here.

At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart what he would do if the little lady was really reluctant to leave here.

But Dong Shu didn't give him time to think about it, and the next moment she heard his words, she hurriedly shook her head at Xu Shiqiu, and then said, "How come?" After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a moment before continuing: "There is a father-in-law, and the place where there is Yuan Xi and my mother is home." ”

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect the little lady to say such a thing, at this moment, his heart suddenly felt very soft, so soft that he directly hugged Dong Shu into his arms the next moment, and he didn't let go for a long time.

Dong Shu didn't know what was wrong with Xu Shiqiu, but she was also happy to be hugged by her husband like this.

Dong Shu decided to go to Dong's house before leaving, and she already had an idea about it.

It's just that she didn't mention it before, thinking that she would talk about it later, but now she mentioned it today through Xu Shiqiu's words.

After Xu Shiqiu determined Dong Shu's meaning, he began to arrange.

There must be a gift for the Dong family, although his little lady is only the niece of the Dong family, but he looked at the little lady's face and guessed that she was afraid that she had something to say when she returned to the Dong family this time.

It's just that he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't come up with what his little lady was going to Dong's house to say.

Because he couldn't think of it, Xu Shiqiu could only arrange for the servants to prepare gifts for the Dong family, waiting to go to the Dong family with the little lady.

After a few days, the Xu family prepared a gift for the Dong family, and after the Dong family was free, Dong Shu took Xu Shiqiu, followed by Ling Xiang and Xu Jie, who were carrying things, and went to the Dong family together.

This time, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu brought back a lot of things, and they didn't hide it along the way, so they came directly to Dong's house.

Although all the families were busy farming in the spring, seeing the posture of the Xu family, many villagers still followed over to see the excitement.

Dong Shu is no longer as nervous as she was at this time last year, after she walked into her uncle's house, she sat down directly in the hall according to her uncle's wishes.

"I went to the capital with Xianggong this time, and I'm afraid I won't come back in a short time." Dong Shu looked at the uncle of the Dong family after saying this, and saw that her uncle looked at her and stopped talking, and hurriedly continued: "I am not in Xiahe Village, my father's tomb, and I have to trouble my uncle and cousin to take care of it." ”

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu understood why his little lady was willing to come to Dong's house.

"Shu'er, don't worry, Uncle will definitely remember this." When the uncle of the Dong family thought of his younger brother who died early, he was also sad in his heart.

The younger brother has no son, so he must worship together when his children and grandchildren go to worship in the future, otherwise the two of them will not even have anyone to worship in the future.

Hearing the uncle's words without hesitation, Dong Shu hurriedly got up and saluted him: "Then thank you uncle." ”

Everyone in the Dong family didn't have the impression that Dong Shu would salute the uncle of the Dong family so formally, and they looked at each other, wanting to say something, but they didn't know how to speak.

"Don't worry, lady, my cousin is here, and if there is something in the future, he will write to us directly." In fact, this is not what Xu Shiqiu wants to say most now, but he is still in the Dong family, and some words are not easy to say now.

Originally, Dai was not happy that his children and grandchildren would go to the grave of his brother-in-law in the future, but now when she heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she instantly came back to her senses.

The eldest son of the family is still working under the hands of the Xu family, and Xu Shiqiu has long promised Dong Lei that as long as he does it well, the industries that belong to the Xu family's three rooms in Linhai County in the future will be handed over to Dong Lei to help take care of.

Thinking of his son's future appearance, Dai immediately closed his lips tightly to prevent himself from making a trace of opposition.

What's more, Dai now has a bold idea, she wants to pass on her youngest son to her brother-in-law's family.

It's just that she doesn't dare to mention it now.

No one knew what Dai was thinking at that moment just now, and after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Lei naturally came forward and promised that he would remember to worship his uncle and aunt.

Dong Shu knew that his cousin was trustworthy, and since his cousin agreed, he would definitely do it.

After talking about this matter, Dong Shu's big matter in his heart was finally put down.

After having a meal at Dong's house, Dong Shu followed Xu Shiqiu and left.

After Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu left, the Dong family had another discussion.

Dai said what he thought just now, and as soon as he finished speaking, the uncle of the Dong family was silent, and Dong Miao wanted to say something, but he thought that he was already married, and he didn't open his mouth in the end.

"This matter is not in a hurry, I looked at the face of the third prince just now, it should be the first time I know that Shu'er can't rest assured that her uncle and aunt's tomb will be relieved, and they will definitely discuss it when they go back today." Dong Lei is now getting more and more like the head of the family, after saying this, he thought for a while and continued: "I'll go to the third prince in two days to see what he thinks, if he and Shu'er agree, then take advantage of the fact that they haven't gone to the capital yet, and handle this matter." ”

Dong Lei guessed well, after returning home, Xu Shiqiu did mention the matter to Dong Shu.

"Lady, why don't we give birth to a son in the future, with your surname?"

Xu Shiqiu only said tentatively, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Dong Shu's eyes widened in surprise and said, "Xianggong, how can you have such an idea?" ”

"Of course, I want to let this child go back to Xiahe Village to guard the family business here in the future, and it can be regarded as leaving a bloodline for my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and said seriously, and really told Dong Shu his thoughts.

Dong Shu, she really didn't expect Xu Shiqiu to think like this.

To be honest, she still remembers the picture of her sick and weak mother hugging her when she was a child and telling her father that she didn't give birth to a son for him, but her father was not only angry but also said her mother at that time.

Dad said, 'With Shu'er, I think everything is worth it', 'Let Shu'er recruit more in the future, and there will be no grandchildren'.

Dong Shu clearly remembered her father's two sentences, but she didn't expect her father to follow her not long after her mother went.

She became an orphan girl whose father and mother died early, and she could only live with her uncle's family.

With her cousin's protection, she gradually forgot her father's words.

But when she was told by her husband today, she remembered it again.

It's just that......

"Xianggong, I know you are kind, but I think this matter is unfair to the child." Although she and Xianggong only have one daughter, Yuan Xi, and don't know when their son will be born, she feels unfair when she thinks that other children can stay with them, and one of them has to live alone in Xiahe Village.

"Now that we're gone, it's going to be okay with our uncle and cousin at home to take care of us. As for the future, let's wait until later, I don't want to be separated from my children. ”

Although Dong Shu didn't say that she wanted to return to Xiahe Village in the future, Xu Shiqiu still understood what she meant.

She still wants to come back here.

Xu Shiqiu stretched out his hand and hugged Dong Shu into his arms, "Lady, you accompany me to the capital first, and when I finish handling the affairs in the capital, I will accompany you back, okay?" ”

Dong Shu rarely heard Xu Shiqiu speak to herself in such a tone, and after she was stunned for a moment, her eyes were a little sour somehow.

Snooping, Dong Shu's head moved slightly, and then he was afraid that Xu Shiqiu wouldn't see it, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, it's really good to be a father-in-law." ”

Hearing the little lady say that she was so good, Xu Shiqiu felt that she hadn't done enough.

For him, Xiahe Village was just a place where he had been for ten years, and in his twenty-six years of life, half of it had not.

But for a lady who is only sixteen years old this year, this is where she was born and raised.

However, because of today's incident, the relationship between Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu seems to have been sublimated again.

Even Mrs. Xu could feel the sweetness between them.

Dong Lei came to Xu Shiqiu three days later, and he felt that Xu Shiqiu must have talked to Dong Shu at this time.

It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as he mentioned this matter, he was rejected by Xu Shiqiu.

"Third son, our family really doesn't want to calculate anything, that is, it's just ......" Dong Lei usually knows how to say, after all, he used to be a buddy, and now he is in charge.

But now facing Xu Shiqiu, he doesn't know how to say it.

Seeing that Dong Lei was so embarrassed, Xu Shiqiu shook his head with a smile and said, "I still believe in you." If anyone from the Dai family or the Dong family said this, Xu Shiqiu would suspect that they had other thoughts.

But now that he has been with Dong Lei for a few months, and watching him go from not being able to take care of things at all, to learning that he can handle the affairs of a few stores now, he understands that Dong Lei is a smart person, and he is also a person who can measure himself.

Since he is a smart person and knows how to measure himself, then he can say this today because he really thinks about his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"My cousin's intentions, my wife and I both understand." Xu Shiqiu first glanced at Dong Lei and spoke, and then looked at Dong Shu on his side, then looked at Dong Lei and continued: "It's just that I have already discussed with my lady, and in the future, when the affairs of the capital are dealt with, I will return to Xiahe Village." ”

As soon as he heard Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Lei's eyes lit up.

He really didn't expect that his cousin would come back one day.

He thought that if they left here, they would never come back to Xiahe Village.

Even if they meet in the future, it will be him who will go to the capital to report on the industry of Linhai County like Xu Shiqiu, he really didn't expect that his cousin would have to come back one day.

However, since the cousin will come back in the future, there is naturally no need to continue the succession that his family thinks.

As long as he is alive, the tombs of his uncle and aunt must be worshipped, and he believes that he will still live for thirty years.

After deciding this, the Xu family really began to prepare for returning to Beijing.

Xu Shiqiu finally set the day to return to Beijing on the sixth day of the first month of April, otherwise the next day that is suitable for travel and does not collide with his family's zodiac will be until April 18.

April 18 was too late, because there were old people and children, and they were not destined to return to Beijing too quickly.

And the departure on the sixth day of the first month of April can at least ensure that you will arrive in the capital before May, and when you arrive in the capital, you still need to repair some days before the Xu family can open the door to welcome guests.

Packing up these things, in fact, just leave them to the servants, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu don't need to do anything.

It's just that after returning from the morning exercise, Xu Shiqiu watched the little lady sitting in the courtyard in a daze at the pomegranate tree that already had flowers and bones.

"Lady, what's wrong with you?" Xu Shiqiu looked at the pomegranate tree in confusion, and after not seeing anything bad about the pomegranate tree, he looked at Dong Shu and said, "Lady, do you want to eat pomegranates?" ”

"It's not." Dong Shu looked at the pomegranate tree and spoke, and after sighing, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "It's when we go back to Beijing, what should we do with this pomegranate tree planted for me by my father-in-law?" ”

Xu Shiqiu didn't expect Dong Shu to be worried about this matter, he strode to Dong Shu's side, took her hand, took her under the pomegranate tree, hugged her and said: "Lady, this pomegranate tree is staying here, there are still servants here, and when we are not there, they will prune it every year, and the results will be sent to the capital after the results." ”

Xu Shiqiu said this, but in his heart, he was thinking about letting Xu Feng's second brother plant pomegranate trees in Shihuan Courtyard in the capital after returning to Beijing first.

He originally planned to tell the little lady, but for some reason, he wanted to hide it from her now.

Dong Shu didn't know that Xu Shiqiu had planted a pomegranate tree in Shihuan Courtyard in the capital without telling it, but after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, although she was still a little sad, she didn't say anything more.

She rested her head on Xu Shiqiu's chest, quietly listening to his heartbeat, feeling the spring that belonged to Xiahe Village.

Xu Shiqiu knew that the little lady would be sad, he endured it for a long time, but he still didn't say what he had arranged.

He wanted to surprise the little lady.

On the sixth day of April in the forty-first year of Ruikang, it is advisable to travel to Xu's family and return to Beijing
