Before Du's feet had stepped in, he heard the old lady's laughter.

The old lady smiled heartily, mixed with the voice of a young girl making witty remarks.

There was still snow on the osmanthus tree, and the green straight leaves seemed to be more vigorous in this laughter.

Du's lowered his eyes, looked at Xu Mindong who was simple in his arms, and stepped into the main courtyard.

Xufu's own banquet does not pay attention to different tables for men and women, mainly now, only Xu Chusheng has a man at home in the whole house, and it is pitiful to open a table for him.

At this time, the old lady sat on the top, Xu Chusheng, Xu Shuyuan, and Du Jingqing were sitting below chatting with the old lady, a scene of family fun.

When the old lady saw Du Shi coming with her little grandson in her hands, she couldn't help but smile even more, and even her eyebrows were covered with a loving look.

Her daughter-in-law is good everywhere, she looks good, she can take care of her husband and take care of her chores, but she always has an inexplicable alienation from her children, and most of the time she seems to be responsible.

Mrs. Xu was happy to see her daughter-in-law close to her little grandson.

However, it is not surprising that Du's is like this, the ladies in the house are rarely too close to their children, even if they are parents and children, it is almost a favor to be able to make two small clothes by hand. On weekdays, there is more care and more distance.

Although Mrs. Xu never liked this, and hoped that her daughter-in-law could get closer to her little grandson, but in the end, it was the eldest son's house, and the daughter-in-law did nothing wrong, and she was not easy to interfere.

Du Shi was slightly blessed and said, "I've seen my mother." Coaxed Mindong to delay for a while on the road, and it was too late. ”

The old lady smiled: "It's okay, the child just has to worry more." Come, bring me and see. ”

Du's obediently hugged his son over, and Xu Chusheng, Du Jingqing, and Xu Yuan also got up and saluted Du's.

said that it was a family to eat together, but in fact, it was just these few people.

There is no man in the Xu Mansion who is not busy, and when Du Shi first got married, this meal was often only for her and the old lady.

So at that time, the old lady was willing to stay Du Jingqing, also because the Xu Mansion was really unpopular.

Du Shi glanced at it, smiled at Du Jingqing, and said, "Ah, Qinqing's hand is very fast, so I went to the splint." ”

Du Jingqing responded with a smile: "Yes, thanks to the care of the old lady and Doctor Qin." ”

The old lady was looking at her little grandson lovingly, and the little grandson was also looking at her with big eyes, and his cute little appearance was really cute.

Xu Mindong is already in his early two years, and the child at this time is the most lively and active, and he can't stay in the arms of the old lady for a long time, so he has to jump outside.

Seeing this, Xu Chusheng on the side took advantage of the situation to hug Xu Mindong over, stared at him wide-eyed, and asked, "Do you still recognize me?" What should I be called? ”

As he asked, he took the finger that Xu Mindong was holding out of his mouth.

Xu Mindong tilted his head and seemed to be looking at the person in front of him: "Uncle! Uncle! ”

The old lady wanted to laugh when she saw it, and couldn't help but say, "If you like children, it's better to ......"

Before the old lady finished speaking, Xu Chusheng put on a bitter look, pouted and said, "Mother!" ”

Mrs. Xu took a sip of tea and said, "If you call my mother, then I have to be a good mother!" If you like children, you will give me a kiss as soon as possible, and you are a twenty-year-old person, and you can't settle down. ”

Xu Chusheng begged for mercy and said: "Niangniang, my good mother!" There are still two younger sisters here, save me some face. ”

Hearing this, Xu Yuan and Du Jingqing couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile.

Old Madam Xu glanced at him and said, "If you don't marry a second sister-in-law for my Yuan'er, I will laugh at you." ”

Du Shi said again: "I have some understanding of the ladies of Jinzhou age, and I can consult with my mother next time." ”

Although Xu Mindong was still young and couldn't understand the words of adults, he could feel the cheerful atmosphere nearby, and he fluttered and grinned.

Xu Chusheng hugged Xu Mindong to Yongdong behind Du's again, and Du's took his son back from Yongdong's hand.

Xu Yuan smiled even more and said, "Oh, the little bell is really cute, and it was hugged for a while." ”

Dushi also smiled, hugged Xu Mindong and shook it twice, and said, "It is also his blessing to be liked." ”

Old Madam Xu coughed lightly and said, "Okay, let's eat." ”

Although the rules of the Xu Mansion were not strict, they still adhered to it, and it was quiet for a while, leaving only the slight sound of porcelain colliding.

Dushi has something on her mind, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas in front of her are like wax in her mouth at this time. Thinking of her son's natural attachment to the nurse, she only felt that her mouth was bitter.

So what can I do, isn't this still self-inflicted?

Thinking so, Du Shi stabbed the chopsticks in his hand into the stewed meat in the bowl.

Ji Dong behind her keenly noticed the strangeness of his wife, and hurriedly spread a few more chopsticks into Du's bowl to cover up the piece of meat that was almost pierced.

After receiving the reminder of Ji Dong, Du Shi came back to his senses slightly, and subconsciously let go of the chopsticks, but he didn't pinch them, and the chopsticks rolled from his hands to the ground.

The sound of chopsticks falling to the ground was particularly embarrassing at this time, and the maid behind hurriedly cleaned up and reloaded the dishes and chopsticks for Du's.

Du Jingqing hurriedly played the round and smiled at Mrs. Xu: "Old lady, the food in your courtyard is really delicious." Look, it's so delicious that my sister's chopsticks have fallen. ”

The unsteady Du reluctantly smiled at it.

This sudden little incident passed like this.

After eating, Mrs. Xu asked Xu Yuan to speak: "I heard that you have been reading and writing well recently?" Then he said to Du Jingqing: "But you have to teach your sister Yuan'er well, it's okay to be strict." ”

Xu Yuan continued to be a good girl, and said with a faint smile: "It's not good, but now I can recognize a lot of words, and I can read this book smoothly." It's not smooth or tight, but Sister Qinqing taught me. As he spoke, he looked at Du Jingqing with a smile on his face.

Du Jingqing also smiled: "My sister is very smart in her own right, and I just teach basic things." ”

Mrs. Xu happily chatted with the girl: "Yuan'er, I'll send you some notes later, do you have anything else to ask for?" ”

"Old lady, I still want some books."

Old Madam Xu raised a little interest and asked, "Oh? What book do you want to read? ”

Xu Yuan didn't twist, and made a generous request: "Any book can be used, preferably the kind that can reflect the customs of the Great Liao Dynasty." I hadn't seen the world since I was a kid, so I wanted to read it from a book. ”

Mrs. Xu responded, and said: "There is a golden house in the book, yes, I'll make a list of books later, and you can choose some of the ones you want to read." ”
