After delivering the things, Zhao Guizhi let them rest, as they must be very tired after the journey back.

After a quick wash, Chu Xiao lay on the warm kang. Yan Zhenshen was talking to his parents in the main room again, probably to comfort them and tell them not to think too much.

When he returned to the courtyard, Chu Xiao no longer stared at him like before, but turned his back to the door and covered himself with a quilt.

Yan Zhenshen took off his cotton-padded jacket and bent down to look at his husband. Because the kang was quite hot at the moment, his exposed face was already red from the heat: "Unhappy?"

Chu Xiao closed her eyes and said nothing, but her little mouth was pouted, and she looked obviously angry.

Suddenly, a cool touch touched his forehead, then his cheek, and finally a light peck on his mouth.

"Xiao Ge'er, husband, little lucky star, big baby..."

Chu Xiao was so depressed by his brother Shen's deliberately low voice that he pulled the man to the kang and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, let's get down to business."

"Are you still angry?"

"I'm not angry, I just feel a little... scared."

Maybe he is a little bit competitive with himself. The more he cares, the more he is afraid of losing. He knows that he can't do something that you don't like and can just walk away at most.

"What are you afraid of? You always have me and Xiaoyu'er with you. Besides, mother just didn't think straight today, but everyone else in the family is here to protect you." Yan Zhenshen got on the kang and hugged her husband, saying in a teasing tone, "You are the head of the family."

"Yeah." Chu Xiao responded, but his hands started to get a little dishonest. "I got so scared today, you should comfort me."

Yan Zhenshen chuckled softly and met his husband's request without hesitation. You know, the soundproofing of the inn they stayed in along the way was not very good, and Zhengfu lived next door to them, so he really didn't dare to touch his husband.

Now that I'm back home, I have to make up for the meat I ate.

Zhao Guizhi in the main courtyard was washing Xiao Yuer's diaper that had just been soiled. Yan Zhennan looked in the pot and saw that there was almost no hot water left, so he asked if he wanted to boil some more.

Zhao Guizhi looked up and saw the second child hanging around in the kitchen. She knew that he was out to eat again: "How long has it been since you put down your bowl? Are you hungry again?"

Yan Zhennan chuckled: "This is mushroom soup and tofu soup. My stomach is full of water, and it will be empty after I pee. Besides, I'm still growing. How can I grow if I'm always hungry?"

It is said that boys can still grow a little taller after they reach adulthood, and her second child has indeed grown a little taller in the past six months.

"There is meat jelly under the curtain, and there are also some bean curd dumplings that your aunt Wang brought over. Heat them up yourself."

"No need to heat it up, no need to heat it up, it tastes good cold as well." Yan Zhennan squatted next to Zhao Guizhi with the plate in his hand and started eating.

"Go away, why are you coming near me?" Zhao Guizhi said to chase him away.

Yan Zhennan ate with gusto, not minding at all that his mother was washing Xiao Yu'er's urine, since children's urine didn't have much taste anyway.

"I'm here to talk to you. All the men in our family are afraid of their wives. I'm afraid my father can't comfort you."

"Why do I need consolation? I'm not an old fool who doesn't know what's good for me. I just didn't think clearly for a moment. Do I need all of you to come and persuade me?"

"Hey, the old lady is very reasonable. My Ah Yun even said that he envied me for having such a good father and mother and family."

Zhao Guizhi wrung out the Jie Zi and put it on the stool next to her: "Remember to wash the dishes after eating, don't leave them aside. You just have a good mouth, otherwise you are lazy and greedy, how can Qingyun want you."

Yan Zhennan not only did not feel embarrassed when he heard this, but he was quite proud of it.

Speaking of the ideological work of the men of the Yan family, it was really one thing after another. As soon as Zhao Guizhi returned to the house, Yan Zhengdao brought it up in a particularly obscure way.

She started by talking about how they had just gotten married, and then about how he got hurt, and then about the present day: "I'm not very good at talking, but I just know that everything will be fine if there's harmony in the family. Even if Xiao Ge'er is really a monster, I'll still recognize him as my husband. After all, without him, I might have been buried in the ground, and our eldest son might still be a bachelor."

Zhao Guizhi didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. She just raised a question, but everyone tried to persuade her one by one.

"Alright, don't mention this anymore. I'm tired of hearing you talk in circles. If you have the time, you might as well think about how to comfort Xiao Ge'er tomorrow and stop him from thinking nonsense."

Yan Zhengdao was stunned for a moment, and then he started to think seriously. After being married for so many years, he knew his wife's personality very well. There was no way she would really deny her husband just because of her identity. At most, she was just being too picky.

The person who cares most about the children in the family is Zhao Guizhi. As long as the children think something is good, she will keep giving in. This is the case with the second child, and it will be even worse with the eldest child. After all, Yan Zhenshen was the one who had the hardest time in the family in the past few years.

Zhao Guizhi secretly wiped away tears countless nights, feeling that it was they, as parents, who were a burden to their son.

"Why don't you use Xiao'er's five hundred taels of silver to buy a shop?"

"What?" Zhao Guizhi was also thinking about how to talk to Xiao Ge'er tomorrow. When she heard this, she frowned and said, "You shameless old man, why are you still thinking about Xiao Ge'er's money?"

Yan Zhengdao sighed, "When did I think about it? Why did Xiao Ge'er take out the money today? He treats us as a family and doesn't hide anything from us. It's only natural for us family members to give some reasonable suggestions occasionally. The general points are so clear, I'm afraid Xiao Ge'er will be unhappy."

The more Yan Zhengdao thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Ever since Xiaoger wrote the eldest son's name on the land in the dowry, he knew that this husband was a person who valued feelings and did not care about material things.

Zhao Guizhi saw that he was so confident, and he still had some of the energy he had in the past, but she couldn't help but pour cold water on him: "Our family hasn't split up yet. We have bought a lot of things, even if they are all written in the names of the eldest brother and Xiao Ge'er, but when the day comes to split up, these will also belong to public property."

"I'll see who has the nerve to share my things. I'll risk my reputation to go to the government office and beat the drums, convict them one by one, and send them to exile on the grasslands."

"Thank you so much." Zhao Guizhi chuckled twice. Although she said so, she didn't think that the second and fourth brothers would be ungrateful people.

"I'll go tell Xiao Ge'er tomorrow that it's better to buy some property instead of just leaving the money there."

Zhao Guizhi: "Are you really going to tell me?"

"Why not? Just wait and see. As long as we mention this, Xiao Ge will definitely understand what we mean, without saying anything else. That child is very smart."

"Forget it, whatever you say." Zhao Guizhi said nothing more. Although she was in charge of most of the household affairs, she was a country woman after all, and her vision could not match that of her husband.
