The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

The Su family began to prepare dinner. All the dishes had already been prepared and could be served on the table.

During this period, the Su family and the still immature Qing'er were preparing enthusiastically, while Shen Jingzhou and Shitou were full of worries.

Thinking that with so much food, everyone would not be able to eat too many rice dumplings, but there were many flavors of rice dumplings, Su Weixi took apart a few rice dumplings of each flavor, cut them into palatable sizes and placed them on the plates.

At the dinner table, the three members of the Su family and Qing'er were all eating very happily.

"Come, Qing'er, today is your birthday, I'll give you the chicken leg."

Su Ma picked up a big chicken leg for Qing'er. Considering Qing'er was relatively young, she carefully helped to remove the meat from the chicken leg.

"Thank you, Auntie." Qing'er thanked her sweetly and started to gnaw on the chicken leg, her mouth full of oil.

Shitou was enjoying his meal at first, but he noticed that his young master hardly touched his chopsticks.

So he called his son, "Sir, please try it. The rice dumplings made by Aunt Su and Miss Su are very special."

Although Shen Jingzhou was worried, he still looked surprised when he saw so many rice dumplings that he had never seen before.

I thought that when I was a guest in someone else's home, I should not disturb the Su family and prevent them from having a happy holiday because of my own worries.

After listening to Shi Tou's words, he calmed down, took a bite of the zongzi and put it into his mouth.

Shen Jingzhou, who had found food tasteless for many days, couldn't help but show a look of surprise after eating the rice dumplings.

"I never thought that this rice dumpling with meat filling would be so delicious. I really admire the cooking skills of Auntie and Miss Su."

"This girl is the one who made all this. If you like it, eat more. You must be tired from traveling on the mountain road."

Hearing this, everyone quickened their eating pace.

Because what happened today was rather special, the adults at the dinner table tried to minimize communication with each other except for the occasional conversation between them and Qing'er.

After dinner was over and everyone had cleared the table, Su Weixi signaled to Su Ma with her eyes and ran into the kitchen.

Su Ma suddenly blew out the oil lamp on the table, and the main room fell into darkness.

Su Weixi was holding a cream birthday cake she had made herself, with five candles on it, and was humming her slightly adapted "Happy Birthday" as she walked.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to Qing'er."

Su's father and mother clapped their hands to accompany Su Weixi's performance.

Shen Jingzhou and Shitou were a little confused at first, but then they followed Su's father and mother to beat the rhythm.

Qing'er was watching curiously from the side and kept giggling. He was really happy.

After singing a happy birthday song exclusively for Qing'er, Su Weixi put the cake on the table.

Not only were the words "Happy Birthday to Qing'er" written on the cake, but next to it there was a simple sketch that Su Weixi had drawn with cream of Qing'er and Xiaobai and Xiaohuihui playing and fighting.

"Come on, Qing'er, make a wish."

"Ah, sister, how do I make a wish?"

Su Weixi gave him a demonstration and told him that he could make three wishes and then blow out the candles.

Qing'er quickly followed suit and made three wishes.

After making the wish, he opened his eyes and looked at Su Weixi, who motioned for him to blow out the candle.

After Qing'er blew out the candle, Su Ma lit the oil lamp on the table again.

When there are other people at home, the solar-powered rechargeable desk lamps that we usually use at home are put away.

Su Weixi helped Qing'er cut the cake and shared it with everyone.

Everyone gave Qing'er the birthday gifts they had prepared for her.

Su's father gave a wooden Huarong Road that he made himself, Su's mother gave a set of clothes that she made herself, and Su Weixi gave a book of children's fables that she drew herself.

Shi Tou's gift was delivered in the morning. It was a goat he had shot in the mountains.

It has become the grilled lamb chops on the dinner table tonight, because Qing'er keeps thinking about the whole roasted lamb she had eaten before.

Shen Jingzhou himself gave Qing'er a jade pendant.

Then he took out two letters from his arms, which were written by Qing'er's mother and brother.

They also gave Qing'er a birthday gift, a beautifully embroidered sachet and a tiger-shaped gold locket.

Qing'er happily accepted the gifts given by everyone, and her eyes were always on the two letters.

Shen Jingzhou signaled Shitou to take Qing'er back to the house so that he could go and read the letter with peace of mind.

After everyone left, Father Su asked the question in his heart: "Mr. Shen, I wonder if Qing'er's family affairs have been dealt with?"

"Uncle Su, I'm ashamed to say this. Qing'er's family situation is complicated, and his mother and brother are still in danger. We can't take him back yet." Shen Jingzhou said with a hint of sadness on his face.

"Mr. Shen, it's not that we are unwilling to accept Qing'er." Father Su said as he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Shen Jingzhou looked at Su's father, hoping that he could finish what he was not saying.

"I wonder if you have ever thought about this: if the crisis in his family is not resolved, and he cannot return home, then what can he learn in this mountain?"

"He is already five years old. You are a big family, so he must have been educated long ago. If time passes too long, how will he cope with life when he returns home without any education?"

"Also, those who are dangerous to him. If they can't find this place in one or two days, there's no guarantee that they won't find it after a long time."

"Besides, our family has guessed that the identities of you three cousins ​​are not simple. But to be honest, we only have a vague understanding of your identities. I wonder if everything we do now will bring disaster to our family?"

Father Su did not give Shen Jingzhou a chance to reply, and kept asking fatal questions. Shen Jingzhou's face became more and more ugly.

"Also, the child misses his family too much. Unless it rains, he sits at the gate of the yard and looks towards where you are coming from. It breaks my heart every time I see him." Mother Su spoke to ease the atmosphere.

Shen Jingzhou stood up and bowed to Su's father and mother, and said, "Thank you, Uncle Su and Aunt Su, for taking care of Qing'er during this period. As for Qing'er's identity and whether to stay or go, please let me think about it."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and added, "And please rest assured, uncle and aunt. Every time I come here, I bring my trusted people with me, and I will never easily reveal the location of your home."

"Forget it. You've been tired from traveling. Go and have a rest first. We can talk about the rest tomorrow." Father Su looked at the very tired Shen Jingzhou and didn't want to say anything too harsh after all.

After Shen Jingzhou left, the three members of the Su family walked out of the yard.

Taking a lantern that they had bought in the city, the three of them walked to the lake and started their own family meeting.

"Dad, do you want to drive them all away?"

Su Weixi thought about what his father said tonight and had some guesses, but he was not sure, so he opened his mouth to test the water.

"Yes and no." Father Su looked at the lake and spoke in a profound manner.

"Oh, Dad, just tell me."

In order to understand his father's thoughts, Su Weixi called him by his name from his previous life.

"Oh, husband, please stop keeping me in suspense. I want to know, too."

Su's mother was also curious and wanted to know what her husband thought.

"In fact, we can't decide whether they want to leave or not. If they insist on staying, there's nothing we can do. I mainly want to find out their identities."

"Ah?" "What do you mean?" Su Weixi and Su Ma were confused.

Later, Dad Su explained it in detail to the mother and daughter.

Father Su felt that the identities of these three cousins ​​were not simple, and wanted to test them to see if they would reveal their true identities.

If they could reveal their true identities, they could help detoxify the man named Xiao Yi today, and they would owe their family another life-saving favor.

If they are unwilling to reveal their identities, I will detoxify them and take advantage of their relaxed vigilance to escape with my family.

It’s just a pity to own a house, as there is no reinforced concrete in this era.

It all depends on whether my daughter can fit the space into the house. If she can, we won’t have to build a house wherever we go in the future.

Of course, Su's father thinks based on his own observations.

Although Shen Jingzhou is a bit thick-skinned, he is actually a nice person. After listening to what I said tonight, he is more likely to choose the former.

In addition, Su's father felt that he and Su's mother would definitely leave this world before Su Weixi in the future.

Therefore, he wanted to get as much guarantee as possible from these brothers, or from the families behind them, so that he could provide more security for Su Weixi in the future.

Because this deep mountain is no longer secret at the moment.

Sooner or later, we will have to move out of the mountains or find a secluded place to settle down.

Su Weixi had a smooth life in her previous life and had no chance to come into contact with too many worldly ways and the evil hearts of people.

If Su's father hadn't told her this, she really wouldn't have thought that Su's father did so much for her.

That night, except Qing'er who fell asleep with a contented smile on her face, everyone else tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
