Chapter 124 The Unprepared Dog Food ([-])

The old lady has always had children around her.

Although the grandchildren were a little lonely when they grew up, the house added small words and small meanings, which added a lot of fun to her life.

But it was 30 years ago that such a cute little boy called her mother, and her memory is a little fuzzy.

The old lady's heart was so soft that the doubts in her heart had long been forgotten.

She bent down and smiled at Xia Huaijuan, "Can you tell my mother what two words it is?"

Xia Huaijuan took her hand and wrote the word "Huaijuan" in her palm with his soft fingers.

The old lady held his little face, smiled and praised: "What a clever boy!"

Mammy Cheng knew that the master and his wife must have something to say, so she stepped forward and said to Xia Huaijuan, "Young Master, please go with Mammy to wash your little face and change into clothes, okay?"

Xia Huaijuan nodded: "Mother must have a lot to say to Daddy, so Huaijuan will go take a bath first."

Everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.

This little guy not only knows how to make room for his parents, but also knows that taking a bath is more time-consuming than washing his face, so smart and interesting!

Madam Cheng took his little hand: "The old slave will take the young master to take a bath, and let the grand master and the old lady have a good talk."

The maids also walked out together, leaving only the old couple in the big main room.

There were no outsiders, and the old lady stopped carrying it, and raised her hand to beat her husband's arm a few times.

Grand Master Xia held his wife's hand: "Since Madam is so unhappy, why don't you send Huai Juan back to Yunqi Mountain later?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm angry that you haven't returned home for more than two years. Last winter solstice, you clearly agreed to come back..."

Grand Master Xia pulled her to the Arhat bed and sat down: "My husband really wanted to come back, but at that time I was trapped in Longcheng by the heavy snow, and I really couldn't make it back."

"Then why didn't you mention a word in your letter to me?"

"I'm not afraid that my wife will worry. Longcheng is not a good place to go. When it's cold, your hands and feet will be numb, and your ears will almost freeze off."

The old lady felt distressed again when she heard this, and complained: "You don't even look at how old you are, you don't stay in Yunqi Mountain to recuperate, and you run around all day long!"

Xia Taishi explained: "My husband has lived in the temple for decades, and I have long been ignorant of the sufferings of the people, so I took this opportunity to walk around and have a look."

"Hmph!" The old lady turned her body sideways: "The country is not yours, and no one will appreciate it if you put so much effort into it!"

Grand Master Xia smiled and hugged her shoulders: "It's Madam who can see clearly, so I won't worry about this anymore."

"Coaxing people again!" The old lady patted the back of his hand: "A few years ago, she said that she would take me around to play, but now I'm too old to go, you don't just care about yourself!"

Taishi Xia complained: "For the past two years, I went to some remote and poor places for my husband. Sometimes I didn't even have a bed to sleep on, and I couldn't eat a good meal for a few days. How could I be willing to let my wife go to such places?" suffering."

As soon as the words were finished, the big white cat, which was sleeping in the corner, sneaked over and jumped onto his lap.

Grand Master Xia has been afraid of cats since he was a child, so he forced a smile: "Ma'am, this cat is really fat..."

The old lady suppressed a smile and said: "Sister Liang found it for me. I named it Dough. Why do you seem to dislike it?"

"How come, what a nice name..." Grand Master Xia felt that Dough'er's claws were digging at his legs, and he was in a bad mood.

Seeing his pity, the old lady stretched out her hand and hugged the dough: "Anyway, I've been despised by you for half my life, and I won't do it again!"

"When did I dislike my wife?" Grand Master Xia said helplessly, "The slingshots and paper kites you played with when you were six or seven years old, as well as the clay figurines and vases you broke, the nine chains that you couldn't untie, and the clothes you sewed to pieces. ...all of them are in the big box in my study, and there are not many of them."

The old lady felt sweet in her heart, but she said: "What are you doing with those things, it's because they take up space."

"That is the most precious thing in our family and must be kept well."

After finishing speaking, Taishi Xia laughed again: "It's so boring to keep cats and dogs, shedding hair everywhere and can't talk. From now on, let Huai Juan accompany Madam, that child is smart and sensible..."

"What are you talking about!" The old lady pinched him: "Keeping cats and dogs is just for fun, and raising children is for fun?

Since Huai Juan recognizes me as a mother, it is a responsibility.

Not only to take good care of him, but also to teach him to be a man so that he has a good future. "

"I knew that Niang Xuan is the best woman and the kindest mother in the world."

"Go away!" The old lady pushed him away: "Huaijuan knows that he needs to wash and change clothes, so you are going to eat with this body of dust?"

Grand Master Xia shook his sleeves: "I just changed my clothes this morning, and the roads along the way are all smooth official roads, so there is no dust anywhere."

"Then you have to wash your face and change into homely clothes, and eat with the children later, you are not afraid of being rejected."

"The lady went with me, I don't even remember where I put the clothes."

The old lady gave him a blank look, took their hands and walked into the inner room.

After washing and changing clothes, the husband and wife walked out of the main room together.

Hong Liao, who was guarding the door, stepped forward with a smile and said: "Go back to the Grand Master and the old lady, the two ladies have already prepared a family banquet, please move to Rongying Hall."

Grand Master Xia raised his hand: "Madam, please."

Rongying Hall is not far from the old lady's courtyard, and it is specially used by Xia's family to hold family banquets.

In the past two years, Grand Master Xia was not in the mansion, and Xia Huaimin and his son were far away in Shuocheng. The family occasionally had dinner together in the old lady's yard. This place has not been lively for a long time.

Today was different, the maids and women came in and out, and they heard the sound of joking and laughing from a long distance away.

The old lady sighed: "The house is much more lively now that the master is back."

Grand Master Xia took her hand: "It's all because of my husband's fault. I have wronged Madam in the past two years."

The old lady said: "If you want to talk about grievances, Sister Shuang is the first one to count. Your grandfather is so light-hearted, and he didn't come back for such a big matter as his granddaughter's marriage.

Didn't you see how sad she was crying the day she left home, Lang Ge'er's back was soaked. "

Master Xia sighed.

As an official of the imperial court, he considered himself qualified, not to mention devoting himself to it, but also doing his best.

But as a husband, father, and grandfather, he didn't do enough.

Erlang, who was ineffective, and Saburo, who died young, are irreparable regrets.

Sister Yan's marriage, Brother Lang's leg injury, and Sister Shuang's wedding, although the end result was not bad, he didn't do his best.

It was early winter at this time, although there were no dead branches and leaves everywhere in the mansion, and there were no flourishing flowers and plants as far as the eye could see, only the wild flowers on the roadside were in full bloom.

With a thought in his mind, Grand Master Xia carefully picked the best flower and pinned it gently on the old lady's hair.
