"Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry. Let's not talk about this anymore. Otherwise, the more you think about it, the more upset you will feel. When you get home, you will find your own children unpleasant."

"It is also true."

Several maids quickly changed the subject.

Qi Rui rode his Lightning bike leisurely towards the military defense camp, feeling extremely happy.

If it weren't for the official business he had to deal with, he would have wanted to take Mingshu out to play immediately.

Thinking back to the hug just now, he felt his whole heart trembling.

He had never been so close to a girl before.

And it’s the one I’ve been pleased with for a long time!

The girl in my arms is like she has no bones...

Chengfeng was riding his horse a little behind his master. Looking at his happy profile, he felt happy too. Although he still had many things to explain, it would not affect his master's mood now.

Everyone returned to the military defense camp in a disjointed manner.

Now that the big tent has been dismantled, they have a longer way to go.

Qi Rui would explain whatever he remembered, mainly because there were too many things to do after the New Year, and no matter how well prepared he was, there would always be some omissions.

"Oh, by the way, tell them to report on the situation over the past few months starting tomorrow and have the managers prepare. I don't want to wait too long."

"I understand, Master."

"Also keep an eye on the county town. The carriage that Lord Xue is riding in is moving slowly on the road. If the county magistrate wants to come over, ask him to wait until Lord Xue arrives."

"I understand, Master."

Qi Rui thought that it would be better to deal with the important things first and put off the less important things. He also needed to take a rest first.

Back in the room, he lay down on the couch and continued to savor the hug.

What Chengfeng wanted to say was choked back in his throat and he was unable to speak again, so he retreated silently and closed the door for his master.

After Qi Rui had eaten and drunk his fill, he lay down on the couch again. Not long after, he felt sleepy and fell into a drowsy sleep.

During this period, he also dreamed that Mingshu covered him with a blanket, then hugged him and gave him a sweet kiss. He felt his whole body warm and he slept more soundly.

It was not until dusk that the temperature dropped completely and Qi Rui woke up because he felt cold.

It turns out...it was just a dream.

He thought it was real.

"Master, you are awake, do you want to get up and eat something?"

Rufeng just happened to bring over a pot of hot tea.

"Okay, then let's get ready. Who covers me with this blanket?"

Qi Rui was still a little curious. What if it really was Ming Shu?

"Master, I covered you. I saw you fell asleep like that and I was afraid you would catch a cold."

"Yeah, it's okay, I'm just asking."

Qi Rui looked quite disappointed. He knew why Mingshu would come here at this time.

Rufeng mixed the hot water, he stood up and washed his face, feeling a little refreshed.

I took a nap at noon and slept for a long time in the afternoon. I don’t know if I can sleep at night.

"Just ask the kitchen to make me a bowl of noodles. I don't have anything to eat."

"it is good."

The happier I was at noon, the lonelier I feel now. It would be great if Mingshu was here so I could talk to him about the interesting things that happened during this period.

They hadn't seen each other for several months, so they must have talked all night.

Not long after, Rufeng came over with a bowl of noodle soup. The sauce was made of potato cubes and it tasted good.

Zhou Mingshu and her friends listened to the mothers-in-law and really dug up some wild onions from the foot of the mountain behind. However, the onions were relatively small, so they didn't need to be cut after washing. They just flattened the onions and threw them into the pot to stir-fry the bacon.

The fried bacon is so delicious!

There is nothing that no one in the family doesn’t like to eat.

"It's spring again. It's getting warmer day by day, and there are more and more wild vegetables in the fields."

"That's right. I used to feel sick when I saw shepherd's purse, but now I find it delicious."

"When I ate wild vegetables every day, I could smell the fragrance of meat. Now that I can finally eat meat every day, I can smell the fragrance of wild vegetables again."

"People are like this. What you can't get is always the best. Haha, eat it quickly or it will get cold."

The adults were chatting, but the children were already eating with their mouths full of oil.

Zhou Mingjie and Zhou Mingyuan were full and had already run out to play.

"These two rascals, after a year of studying, have not made me behave myself, but have become even more naughty instead."

Zhou Mingshu and his sisters held their bowls and laughed. The adults talked for a long time, and the final criticism meeting came back to these two brothers.

Zhou Mingjie and Zhou Mingyuan are often talked about at the dinner table every day, and they have become accustomed to it.

After dinner, everyone started to clean up.

Zhou Mingshu was sitting quietly washing dishes, but the loofah in her hand was soon snatched away by Old Mrs. Zhou.

"San Ya, you are not allowed to work today. Go to the house and rest. We will call you back after we finish the work."

Zhou Mingshu was frightened by the seriousness of Old Lady Zhou. She thought she had done something wrong.

After asking, I found out that it was still because of what happened at noon.

"Grandma, do you really have to be like this? We've already celebrated and eaten. Just give me the sponge gourd. One more person means more strength, and we can go back earlier."

"No, I'll let you rest for half a day. Go wash your hands in a clean basin and wait. When you get home, come with me to burn some incense in front of your grandfather's tablet."

Seeing that grandma was so serious, Zhou Mingshu went into the house and waited.

It was getting very dark now and it would soon be difficult to see clearly.

She lit an oil lamp, sat in front of the window, and rested quietly.

Grandma is right. We haven’t had such a big happy event in our family for a long time. We should really burn some incense for grandpa.

Looking at the flickering flame in front of him, Zhou Mingshu held his chin and empty his mind.

Just when she was feeling a little sleepy, someone outside the door shouted that the donkey cart and ox cart were ready and asked everyone to get on quickly.

Zhou Mingshu calmed down, hugged the wooden box tightly in his arms and went out.

I just happened to run into my sister-in-law who was calling for help. "San Ya, I was just about to call you. Put on your coat quickly, or you'll be cold when you get in the car."

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law."

Seeing that she was holding something in her arms and it was inconvenient for her to tie the belt, Xu Lingshan helped her tie it.

"Sister-in-law, your hands are a little cold. Let my brother warm them for you later."

"Go away, you come to tease me again, one you and one Arya."

Xu Lingshan twisted her face and pretended to be angry.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never dare to tease you again."

Zhou Mingshu trotted after her and hugged Xu Lingshan in his arms.

"Haha, that's more like it."

A few little girls got on the car and soon returned home after a swaying ride.

Zhou Mingshu had just warmed Xu Lingshan's little hands when Zhou Mingzhi took her away.

"Tsk tsk~"

Zhou Mingshu walked into his room with a gossipy look on his face. The first thing he did was to take out the imperial decree granting him marriage and spread it out on the bed.
