Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Chen Lang's words were not simply to cheer his wife up, but he felt from the bottom of his heart that the way Li Xiuzhi handled the matter just now was very heroic.

"Xiuzhi, why did you mention asking the people in Guhong Tower to buy more food?" Chen Lang asked.

Li Xiuzhi felt uneasy. "Did I say something wrong?"

Chen Lang said: "No, I'm just curious why you would give such a suggestion."

Li Xiuzhi said, "Didn't you tell Miss Xu that a wave of refugees was coming? I think if a disaster breaks out, money will definitely not be as effective as food."

"Besides, food is quite cheap now. During the disaster, the money that could buy ten kilograms of food now could only buy two, three, or even one kilogram."

Chen Lang sighed, "Xiuzhi, you really are glowing."

Li Xiuzhi shyly hit Chen Lang and said, "You're so annoying! You're making fun of me."

Chen Lang said: "I speak from the bottom of my heart."

After playing around for a while, Li Xiuzhi's eyelids began to twitch. After yawning, she said, "Erlang, I'm sleepy."

Chen Lang put on her shoes and said, "I'll take you back to your room to rest."

Li Xiuzhi said, "I haven't written the letter yet."

Chen Lang said, "Your husband will write it for you."

"Thank you, Jiro."

"So polite to your own man? I'm going to punish you!"

Li Xiuzhi blushed and said, "Good Erlang, I know you are suffering. After the child is born, I will punish you as you wish."

"Or you can marry Miss Xu. I think Miss Xu would be very happy."

Chen Lang was at a loss for words and said, "Xiuzhi, when your husband talks about punishment, you can only think of that thing."

"You've become a bad person."

Li Xiuzhi was embarrassed and pinched Chen Lang's arm and said, "You are so bad."

Chen Lang laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, I can't hold it back. I still have Miss Five."

Li Xiuzhi was stunned: "Fifth Miss, whose daughter is this?"

Chen Lang stretched out his left hand and spread out his five fingers: "Here, this is it."

Li Xiuzhi suddenly realized, her face flushed instantly, and she stamped her feet coquettishly: "Erlang!"

Chen Lang said: "Okay, okay, no more jokes."

"Let's go back to the house and rest."

Back in the room, Chen Lang sat at the head of the bed, Li Xiuzhi resting her head on his thighs. She grabbed his hand and read his palm lines, saying, "Erlang, I want to hear you sing, is that okay?"

Chen Lang said: "Of course."

"Singing a song for you as a husband is the most romantic thing."

……

"Sitting back to back on the carpet, listening to music and talking about wishes."

"You hope I will become more and more gentle, and I hope you will keep me in your heart."

……

"The most romantic thing I can think of is growing old with you."

"Even when we were too old to go anywhere, you still treated me like the treasure in your hand."

……

After singing the song, Li Xiuzhi fell asleep.

But the corners of her mouth were still slightly raised, and there was a look of happiness on her face.

Chen Lang carefully moved Li Xiuzhi's head from his thigh to the pillow, tucked the quilt for her, and left quietly.

When I walked out the door, I found my mother sitting in the corridor outside.

Chen Lang hurried forward and said, "Mom, why are you sitting here?"

Feng Chaoying took Chen Lang's hand and slowly stood up, smiling and saying, "I thought that my son is not only talented in writing, but also sings so beautifully."

"Mom really likes the song we played just now. What's it called?"

Chen Lang said: "The most romantic thing."

Feng Chaoying pondered, "Romance...what is it?"

Chen Lang said: "How do I explain this? Simply put, the wonderful time two people in love spend together is called romance."

Feng Chaoying smiled and said, "This explanation is quite poetic."

"Erlang, Mother has discussed this with the embroiderers at the Xu family, and they've already developed a preliminary prototype for our special sewing technique. They'll slowly experiment with various embroidery methods, and they should be able to create an anti-counterfeiting mark that meets your requirements."

Chen Lang said, "Thank you for your hard work, mother."

Feng Chaoying said, "I won't feel tired no matter what I do for you."

"Not being able to grow up with you is one of the biggest regrets in my life."

Chen Lang said, "Mom, don't say that. We still have a long, long time to spend together as mother and son in the future."

Feng Chaoying touched Chen Lang's face and said, "Mother also hopes for this."

"Erlang, mother is going back to live in the Duke's Mansion for a while."

Chen Lang frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"

Feng Chaoying lowered her head and said, "Dingbian...after all, he has protected my mother for so many years."

Chen Lang felt something was wrong.

The last time Zhu Sui'an came, Chen Lang had a vague premonition, but it was not strong.

Now seeing Feng Chaoying like this, the disappeared premonition resurfaced.

Duke Zhu, his nominal second uncle, couldn't he be his actual stepfather?

Seeing Chen Lang's strange expression, Feng Chaoying hurriedly said, "Erlang, don't overthink it. Mother and Zhu Sui'an didn't... Mother is just grateful to him."

Chen Lang scratched his head and said, "Mom, I can't say too much about this kind of thing. No matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Feng Chaoying tapped Chen Lang's forehead: "Silly son."

"Mom is gone. She will be back after a while."

Chen Lang said, "Mom, let me take you to the Duke's Mansion."

Feng Chaoying said, "No need. The carriage sent by Dingbian is waiting outside."

Chen Lang thought, Lord Zhu, why are you so anxious?

After helping Feng Chaoying onto the carriage and watching her go away, Chen Lang turned around and went back to the yard.

Seeing Xiao Qi running over from the next yard, Chen Lang waved at him and said, "Come here."

Xiao Qi came running over and said, "Master, what can I do for you?"

Chen Lang said: "You kid, you are still hiding it from me."

Xiao Qi chuckled and said, "Sir, I'm sorry."

"Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."

"Miss Xu told me that you and Hong'er are in love and asked me to help you propose marriage."

"I don't have any experience in this area. If you have any requirements, just tell me and I will definitely help you."

Xiao Qi waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't bother me, sir. I can do it myself."

Chen Lang said, "What do you mean by yes? Yes, Miss Xu said that she treats Hong'er as her sister and the dowry is very generous. Just for this reason, your betrothal gift, the young master cannot treat you unfairly."

"Don't be shy. Just ask if you need anything. Do you hear me?"

Xiao Qi was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "Sir, I don't know..."

Chen Lang said, "Put your cat urine back. Xu Mengru treats Hong'er as her sister, and I treat you as a half-brother. We're family, so there's nothing wrong with us. Besides, during the time I was away in Liao, the family was grateful for your help."

"Just for this reason, the young master will not treat you unfairly."

Xiao Qi bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."

Chen Lang helped him up and said, "I already said you're welcome. Okay, let's leave the marriage for now. I'll write a letter and you can take it to the post station later."

"On the way back, please buy some materials for me."
