The whole family was busy, but I was the last one to get up. Xia Chu felt a little embarrassed, "Why didn't you call me?"

Dong Xiaohuan looked at her and said, "What do you want me to do? Little girl, get some sleep. Your brothers are here."

Wang Qiuyu glanced at his mother, pursed his lips, and muttered softly: Why have you never spoken to me so gently, huh.

"How can a boy like you compete with your elder sister?" Dong Xiaohuan turned her head, and the gentleness just now disappeared without a trace.

Jia Qingwu pursed her lips and smiled. The Wang family wasn't like other families who favored boys over girls. From the top down, everyone doted on Xia Chu. Although Wang Qiuyu was Dong Xiaohuan's biological child, both Wang Yong and Dong Xiaohuan treated him equally. They weren't harsh on him, but they also didn't overindulge him.

When Wang Qiuyu was young and ignorant, it was actually okay because everyone spoiled him. Xia Tian and the others always gave in to him because Wang Qiuyu was their biological child.

But Wang Qiuyu is too active, and he can always do something dangerous if he is not watched carefully.

This includes but is not limited to reaching into the stove to feel the fire, reaching for the kitchen knife on the stove, riding the dog out to play, jumping into the small pond in the yard to swim, and climbing trees and climbing over walls, which is not worth mentioning.

Dong Xiaohuan's patience with him was dwindling, and sometimes the sight of him gave her a headache. From Xia Tian Zhang Zhou to Guan Xu Xia Chu, none of them were as lawless and fearless as him; they were all obedient and sensible. The comparison made Dong Xiaohuan dislike her own son even more.

Wang Yong got up early and stretched out a bit. He felt a little envious at the amount of meat and food. He couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you leave some at home?"

Dong Xiaohuan heard a hint of grievance in his tone, but also found it funny. "How dare you snatch food from the kids? If you want to eat, we can grill it in the yard next time. It's not the first time we've eaten like this."

"It's been a while since I last ate here." Wang Yong touched his chin and left in a huff. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but after all, Jia Qingwu was here, and he was afraid she would feel uncomfortable if he stayed here.

"It seems so," Dong Xiaohuan recalled. It was Xia Chu who came up with the idea of grilled meat skewers. When she was not around, no one else thought of it. Sometimes Guan Xu would grill two pieces of meat in the oven and eat them. Only Xia Chu would have the idea to put them on skewers. "I haven't eaten it since Xiaochu was not at home."

That was not easy to do, Xia Chu immediately said: "Then let's do it again tomorrow night, so that Dad can satisfy his craving."

"Stop talking, your father has lost all face." Dong Xiaohuan laughed, "You are so old, and you are still greedy."

"Food is the most important thing for people. Eating well is the most important thing and it is not shameful at all." Xia Chu said seriously.

Dong Xiaohuan thought so too. Life is all about eating and sleeping, so the purpose of work is to have good food, good clothes and a place to sleep. "Okay, I'll talk to your uncle today and ask him to bring more meat tomorrow to satisfy your craving."

The family worked for most of the hour, and Guan Xu also prepared breakfast. After dinner, everything was packed up and the carriage was waiting outside.

There were so many people and things that Jia Qingwu specially asked someone to drive two carriages over, which was just enough for everyone to sit.

Dong Xiaohuan and Wang Yong were also in the car, so it was convenient and not a big deal to send them over.

After a visit to the Bai and Mo families, they found another carriage in their group. Xia Chu didn't miss Li Yun and Lin Lang, but they weren't very interested in riding horses. Li Yun's mother was very strict, and Lin Lang had just arranged a marriage, so they didn't have time.

The happiest person was Wang Qiuyu. He could see the ponies and ride the big ones. There was also a lot of food. He was so happy that he didn't know what to do. Once he got in the carriage, he couldn't sit still for a moment. He either leaned over the window to look out or crowded at the door to ask the driver how long it would take.

"Behave yourself." Zhang Zhou pulled him back from the door. "Why are you in such a hurry? We'll be there soon."

"Second brother and third brother, aren't you anxious? Second brother is taking me horseback riding today, just like last time, as if he wants to blow me to the sky, okay?" Wang Qiuyu looked at Zhang Zhou with his big eyes, full of anticipation and eagerness.

It would be hard for anyone to refuse such a pair of sparkling eyes. Especially since it was someone who had watched him grow up. Zhang Zhou curled his lips and pushed the person back, "Okay, sit down first."

Guan Xu glanced out the window, feeling a bit excited. His riding lessons were slow to progress. Most of the students at the academy came from wealthy families, all with horses. They had more opportunities to practice than he did, and some had been riding since childhood.

Even those without horses would invite their families to the stables for training. He had been once or twice but found the stables too expensive. Although he had some money, he couldn't afford to go frequently. He didn't particularly want to ask for money from his family, even though his parents never restricted their spending. As long as there was a reasonable excuse, they were generous. However, brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone were already expensive, and there was also the tuition fee, which he gave to his teachers during festivals.

Guan Xu knew his parents treated him like their own child, and he felt even more sorry for his mother, who spent every day in the shop. His mother would sometimes joke that she smelled like meat, and passing dogs would gather around her to sniff her a few times.

He didn't want to burden his family unnecessarily; the cost of educating three people was not a small sum. Moreover, he was clumsy and even after many attempts at learning, he still wasn't very proficient.

This time, besides wanting to give it another try, I came here more to accompany Xia Chu, as she had just returned and Guan Xu was usually at the academy.

They soon arrived at the Bai family horse ranch. As soon as the carriage stopped, Wang Qiuyu jumped out. She smiled up at her sister, hopping back and forth, eager to rush into the ranch. "Sister, sister, sister..."

"What? So anxious?" Xia Chu was so amused by his behavior that she wanted to do something bad, but she suppressed it. Forget it, he was so happy, don't make the child angry. "Go ahead."

Bai Wuxia found the child quite amusing and couldn't help but rub his head. "You go first. The people at the stable remember you've been here and won't stop you."

Wang Qiuyu smiled at Bai Wuxia with his white teeth, and rushed into the horse farm with cheers, while Da'an and Xiao'an followed him with howls.

Mo Qingmei noticed a carriage parked nearby and asked, "Is anyone else coming today?"

"My second brother went out early this morning. I don't know if it's him." Bai Wuxia looked at the carriage. It didn't have any family markings and he had never seen it before. "I don't know him. Let's just ignore them and have fun on our own."

Although there weren't many horses at the ranch, there were still about 20 or 30 of them, which was definitely enough for fun. Bai Wuxia didn't take it seriously and said to Jia Qingwu, "Aunt Qingwu, let's go in."

"Okay, go have fun by yourselves, don't worry about me. I'll just take a look around." Jia Qingwu pushed Xia Chu, "Go ahead, I'll just walk in slowly. Aunt Xu will accompany me, I'll have someone move everything in."

"You brought something else? What was it?" Bai Wuxia asked curiously.

"I brought a charcoal stove, we'll grill some meat later." Xia Chu said with a smile, "My third brother pickled it himself, you guys should definitely try it later."

"Your third brother is here too? I've never seen him before." Bai Wuxia was a frequent visitor to the Wang family, but she never stayed too late, so she had never seen Guan Xu. She turned around and saw a young man standing next to Zhang Zhou.

The young man wore a sky-blue robe, his long hair half-bound by a scarf. He had delicate features, a high nose bridge, and a faint smile on his lips. He looked more like a meticulously crafted painting than a human.

She opened her eyes wide and covered her lips quietly. She didn't expect that Xia Chu's third brother was so handsome.
