Chapter 283: Child
Liu Meibao pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't say anything more.
A small hand grabbed her hand and pulled it back.
The husband and wife spoke, and Rou'er in her arms had been quiet all the time, and began to protest at this time.
She glared at Lu Yan and pulled her mother's hand a little unhappily.
"Rourou, I'm Dad.." Lu Yan tried to make himself as kind as possible, and tentatively stretched out his hand to Rou'er.
Rou'er immediately buried herself in Liu Meibao's arms again.
Liu Meibao pursed her lips and smiled and patted her daughter's head.
"It's Daddy, don't be afraid." She also said.
Rou'er shrank in Liu Meibao's arms and didn't move, only looking at Lu Yan secretly.
"Why did you let that guy hug you?" Lu Yan gritted his teeth in a hurry, groped around his body indiscriminately, happily took out a small dagger, and shook it in front of Rou'er, "Rou'er, take a look..."
This little dagger has a beautiful scabbard, and children like shiny things, so Rou'er can't help but turn around to look.
"Play with you, let Daddy hug." Lu Yan said seductively.
Rou'er's little hand had already reached over, and after hearing this, she looked at Lu Yan's open hand again, she paused, turned her head and got into Liu Meibao's arms again without hesitation.
Lu Yan's outstretched hand stopped awkwardly in place.
Liu Meibao laughed.
"This girl..."Lu Yan said helplessly, looking at his daughter who was secretly looking at him, the smile on his lips spread, "It's better than a boat, when I came back from the capital, that kid was being held and played by a servant, and he still didn't recognize me, I just used a horsewhip to coax him to call his father..."
Thinking of the past, Liu Meibao also smiled.
"I said, how could he recognize you if you've been gone for so long." She laughs.
At the mention of the word jiu, Lu Yan's smile dimmed again.
Lu Fang was born dangerously, and then he was not by his side for nearly a year, and now there is this period of almost fatal separation, his daughter was born and was simply not around, what is the use of him as a father.
"When Rou'er was born, I wasn't there, you were aloneβ" he began. Half of the words were sad and couldn't go on, and he couldn't help but pull his hair fiercely when he raised his hand.
"Fortunately, it went well, faster than when the boat was in the past, and it didn't suffer so much." Liu Meibao said with a smile, putting her face close to Rou'er, "So they all say that my daughter is a little padded jacket, the most intimate..."
Lu Yan looked at her in a daze. His wife seemed to be different from before, she was smiling and talking, but she always felt something different.
"Mabel, if you feel bad, you... You name itβ" he said after a moment's hesitation.
"What do you say?" Liu Meibao smiled, glanced at him, and kissed Rou'er in her arms, "Isn't it, we escaped." Little padded jacket, are you happy? β
Rou'er grinned at her kiss.
Lu Yan couldn't help but stretch out his hand again, but unfortunately the intimate little padded jacket still refused to let him hug it.
"Am I scary? Not as good as that guy? Lu Yan couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself. Reach out and touch your face.
He has also washed it briefly, but he has not shaved his beard or trimmed his hair or anything, and no matter how Chen Qing looks, he has to admit that his military career has not drowned him out of his plump and handsome appearance.
"What do you say, I just saw the child recognize his life, just stay a little longer." Liu Meibao said with a smile.
"Familiar with him?" Lu Yan couldn't help but mutter, "Mei Bao." Mabel's..."
Liu Meibao was looking out and didn't hear clearly.
"What did you say?" She asked casually.
"Nothing." Lu Yan smiled, looking at his wife and daughter, he didn't want to look away for a moment.
Suddenly, there was the cry of an iron spoon outside.
Liu Meibao hurriedly walked out with Rou'er and Lu Yan in her arms. Seeing that it was next to the flower garden in the courtyard, Lu Fang was raising his hand to beat the head of the iron spoon, and the iron spoon did not dare to fight back, grinning and crying.
"Hey, you stinky boy, why did you mess with the young master, kneel down." When Zhao Niangzi heard the sound, she raised her hand and hit the iron spoon.
"Mother." Liu Meibao hurriedly shouted, while casually pushing Rou'er to Lu Yan's side, "You hold it." β
Lu Yan subconsciously took it, waiting for the soft group to look incredulous.
Rou'er was looking at her brother, but she didn't care, and she was about to cry when she found out that she was hugged by this "bad guy".
Lu Yan was suddenly flustered, and subconsciously coaxed the child like Chen Qingfang, until he took out the dagger and approached Liu Meibao's side, Rou'er collapsed her mouth and played with tears in her eyes to stop making trouble.
This short moment made Lu Yan sweat all over his head, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and went to see Liu Meibao and Lu Fang here.
Liu Meibao had already reached out to carry Lu Fang over.
"Say, why did you hit my brother!" She raised an eyebrow and shouted.
Zhao Niangzi is still pulling an iron spoon to make amends.
"Mother, don't say it yet." Liu Meibao interrupted her.
Her expression was very unhappy, it was the first time for Zhao Niangzi to see her like this, and she was already panicked, so she immediately lowered her head and didn't dare to say more.
"Say it." Liu Meibao asked at Lu Fang.
Lu Yan looked at his son's appearance in the back and felt a little unbearable.
"I want my little wooden man." Lu Fang whispered, "He won't give it to me." β
The iron spoon tightly held the small wooden soldier who thought that life and death were given to him by Lu Fang that night, and he looked aggrieved.
"You told me...," he couldn't help but say.
"Give it to the young master." Zhao Niangzi slapped him on the head and shouted.
The iron spoon was beaten and cried.
"Mother." Liu Meibao frowned and shouted Zhao Niangzi again.
Zhao Niangzi hung her hand in disdain.
"Little boat, how can you do this?" Liu Meibao squatted down and looked at her son at eye level, "Why doesn't what you said count?" β
Lu Fang bit his lower lip and didn't speak.
Liu Meibao looked at him and didn't speak again, just reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Alright, you have to go back." She said, turning her face to look at the iron spoon, and reached out to wipe his tears, "Iron spoon, we don't want his things." β
The iron spoon hesitated, and Zhao Niangzi pushed him hard behind him.
"Auntie gives it to you, you want to give you as much as you want, okay?" Liu Meibao said.
When he heard this iron spoon, his eyes lit up.
"Really?" He asked.
"Of course it's true, my aunt counts when she says." Liu Meibao nodded and said.
The iron spoon wiped his snot with his sleeve, and handed the wooden figure in his hand to Lu Fang's eyes.
"Here, I don't want it." He said.
Lu Fang bit his lower lip and snatched it, turned his head and ran.
Lu Yan hugged Rou'er and followed, Rou'er wanted to cry when she saw that she was going to leave her mother, but Lu Yan pointed to Lu Fang and said that he didn't cry anymore after hesitating to find his brother, and the father and son walked away.
"Look at it, look at it..."Zhao Niangzi was anxious and uneasy, stamping her feet and muttering. Raise your hand and hit the iron spoon again.
"Mother, I know that you are uncomfortable in your heart, you feel that I am not your own, and now you have become the wife of the official family, and Xiaochuan has also become a young master, you say that you recognize your daughter and grandson, but in fact, you are sincerely afraid that you feel like a slave..."
Mrs. Zhao was silent.
"I'm a person who has nothing to say, and I won't hide or pretend. Happy is happy, unhappy is unhappy, the lives of our three mothers are given by you, in this life and this life, you are the reborn parents of our three mothers, since you are parents, I will serve like parents," Liu Meibao continued, "I want you to go with me, I want you to enjoy happiness and live happily, but I know that things are too sudden." You can't accept it for a while, it's okay. Let's take our time, you slowly get used to it. β
Zhao Niangzi wiped away her tears and nodded.
"You, don't blame the child, that's his beloved thing, what do children know about those avenues, like is like, reluctant is reluctant. It's called real, and I can't pretend. She touched the head of the iron spoon, "You're a brother." Let this younger brother not fight with his younger brother. β
The iron spoon sniffed and nodded.
"I didn't fight him." He said seriously.
Liu Meibao also touched his head, and asked Lu Fang if it hurt.
"It doesn't hurt, my sister didn't hit me hard, she just scared me..."Iron Spoon grinned.
He was still used to calling his sister, and he couldn't change his mouth for a while, so Zhao Niangzi patted him on the head and scolded him, and pulled him down to clean up his things.
When Liu Meibao found Lu Fang, he was sitting on Lu Yan's lap.
Lu Yan was holding his son in one hand and his daughter in the other, and the father and son were all laughing.
"Did you really do a lot?" Lu Fang looked up at him and asked again.
"I promised the boat, didn't I say yes that day, you have to give this set to the iron egg, and ask me to remake it for you." Lu Yan said slowly.
Lu Fang sighed.
"I don't remember." He said, hanging his head and playing with the little wooden man in his hand.
Lu Yan turned his gaze to hide his red eyes.
"Dad misses you at home, so he will be a wooden villain, and he has done a lot, and you will see it when we go home." He took a breath and turned his head to speak.
"Did you do it the way I did?" Lu Fang looked up at him and asked.
Lu Yan nodded and kissed his son's forehead.
Lu Yan grinned.
"Then let's go home." He said happily, full of longing.
Lu Yan nodded.
Here, Rou'er reached out to ask for the wooden villain, and Lu Fang gave it to her, and Rou'er took it in her hand and looked at it for a moment, then stuffed it into her mouth.
"I can't eat it." Lu Fang's eyes were quick to stop, and he shook his head helplessly with the appearance of a little adult, "It's so gluttonous, I have to eat everything, and I don't listen to what I say." β
Rou'er smiled at her brother with her toothless mouth open, babbling and not knowing what to say.
Liu Meibao stood aside and watched, wanting to cry and laugh.
"Mother." When Lu Fang saw her, he stood down from Lu Yan's lap, shouted, and lowered his head.
Liu Meibao came over and sat him down.
"I can't bear to regret it, so I just tell the iron spoon, how can I beat someone?" She said, stroking Lu Fang's face.
Lu Fang lowered his head.
"It can't be like this anymore." Liu Meibao said, taking him into his arms, "The iron spoon is my brother, their family saved our lives, and how good he is to you, you forgot, you fight with rotten eggs, but the iron spoon helps you." β
Lu Fang nodded and mumbled.
"Daddy made me a lot of wooden figurines, and I'll give him some to play with when I get home." He looked up and said.
Liu Meibao smiled at him and kissed him on the forehead.
A smile bloomed on Lu Fang's face, he reached out to hug Liu Meibao's neck, rubbed it affectionately, and called out to his mother.
Here Rou'er cried, and she had to reach it with her hands open.
Lu Yan hurriedly coaxed her, pulling flowers and picking leaves, Rou'er ignored her, as long as she came to Liu Meibao's arms.
Chen Qing came from not far away, as if he was looking for them, Lu Yan saw it at a glance, and hurriedly stuffed Rou'er into Liu Meibao's arms, breathing a sigh of relief.
It's better to let your daughter-in-law hold her than to let this guy hold her daughter.
