The young couple from the farm fights back

Seeing that her brothers had all offered tea to their father, Lan Jie'er also stepped forward obediently, holding the teacup on the tray and saying, "Father, please drink the tea your daughter offers you."

"Okay~" Unlike the seriousness he showed when dealing with his son, Zhou Chunfeng's face was filled with a fatherly smile.

The sons below were staring at him in amazement. Their father's expression changed so quickly.

Zhou Chunfeng took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and took Jiang Li's hand, which was placed on the table. He looked at Lan Jie'er and said, "Father has prepared gifts for your mother and you in Beijing. Please come back to Beijing with father after the New Year."

"Yes, father." Lan Jie'er smiled with her eyes curved. She loved her father so much.

Jiang Li glanced at Lan Jie'er's happy little face with a smile, and suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth. She was a girl who knew how to please others.

Finally, Yu Ming stepped forward and offered tea to Zhou Chunfeng: "Uncle, please have some tea."

Zhou Chunfeng thought of his uncle's past support, and a gentle expression appeared on his face as he took the teacup and said, "Okay."

The children all offered tea. Zhou Chunfeng looked at Uncle Zhou Er and Aunt Hu who were sitting below him. He thought of something and gestured to Shen Wei beside him.

Shen Wei understood, pulled out a letter from his arms, and put his hands in front of the two elders.

Uncle Zhou and Aunt Hu looked at the unfamiliar general in confusion, and then their eyes turned to Zhou Chunfeng.

Zhou Chunfeng smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunt, this is the mansion I bought for you two elders in Beijing. The deed to the house is in the envelope. It's not valuable, but it's just my way of thanking you for not abandoning Li'er and the child."

As Zhou Chunfeng spoke, he held his wife's hand tightly, and the couple smiled at each other.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Hu quickly said, "That's not possible."

Aunt Hu said, "Our family shouldn't say anything. I remember everything you and your wife did for our family."

Jiang Li said, "Uncle, Aunt, your presence is a token of our gratitude as the younger generation. If you don't want to go to the capital, it will provide Dashuan and his wife with a place to stay when they expand their business there in the future."

After hearing Jiang Li's words, the two elders hesitated for a moment. Knowing that Chunfeng and his wife were making plans for their son's future, they were filled with gratitude and said, "Then we will shamelessly accept it."

Zhou Chunfeng nodded and smiled: "That should be the case."

Aunt Hu clenched the envelope in her hand, her emotion beyond words. She thought that her family could also benefit from the glory of her nephew's family, which was really the blessing of their ancestors.

Zhou Chunfeng turned around and looked at the brothers in front of him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Your mother and I agree. Next spring, you brothers will stay in Yanzhou to take the exam. After all, military generals are no match for civil officials. The future of our mansion will fall on your shoulders."

Yiheng understood, knowing that his father had high hopes for them, and he and his brothers bowed and replied, "Yes, Father."

Yijing felt a headache at the thought of the imperial examination, fearing he wouldn't do well and disappointing his elders. However, his father had just said that he could be sent to the military camp for training in the future, and his next imperial examination would be just a formality to accompany his brother.

Today is the winter solstice, and Zhou Chunfeng happened to arrive. Jiang Li asked Yuan Niang to ask the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner so that the family could have a reunion dinner.

In the late afternoon, Zhou Chunfeng went to Mr. Xiao's yard to visit the child's teacher. Although the two had never met, as the child's father, he wanted to personally thank the old man for his teaching of the children.

When Jiang Li returned to the bedroom in the backyard before dusk, he had asked Yuan Niang to order someone to bring hot water so that he could wash off the dust on his body.

Smoke was lingering behind the screen. Jiang Li made a pot of stomach-warming tea for him in the inner room. He would have to drink a few more cups before dinner.

After a while, Zhou Chunfeng came out from behind the screen wearing his inner clothes. Jiang Li stood up and took the thick cloak to put on him.

"Aren't all your clothes ready? You're wearing so little. If you catch a cold, you still expect me to give you acupuncture."

Zhou Chunfeng smiled as he took his wife's hand and finally hugged her in his arms: "Thank you for your hard work over the years."

Sniffing the scent of his clean clothes, Jiang Li felt a rare sense of peace of mind, her lips curled up slightly. "It would be a lie to say it wasn't hard. When I first arrived on the island, things were very complicated. Then, as the children grew older, I did worry about their studies. But fortunately, now we can say that the hard work has paid off."

Zhou Chunfeng hugged the person in his arms tightly, kissed her hair, and took a deep breath. "I know that you have become accustomed to life here. I have bought a farm for you in the suburbs of Beijing. In the future, I will live with you in the farm in my free time to maintain your health."

Jiang Li raised her head with a smile, meeting his affectionate gaze, and couldn't help but smile: "That's great, let's plant some fruit trees on the farm, so that we can eat fresh fruits in the future."

"Okay." Zhou Chunfeng sighed slowly and raised his hand to stroke her cheek.

Perhaps because they had been separated for too long, he still felt that the wife in front of him was a little unreal, and suddenly he was afraid that this was just a dream.

Jiang Li slapped his hand away in annoyance: "Hurry up and get dressed, dinner should be ready, don't keep the child waiting too long."

"it is good."

After more than ten years, the couple sat together with their children again, and the family enjoyed hot dumplings, fine wine and delicious food, and enjoyed the joy of nature.

Zhou Chunfeng put a dumpling into Jiang Li's bowl, and the couple smiled at each other.

Looking at the children below, Yiheng is well-mannered and has the demeanor of a calm and composed older brother.

Yijing is not particular about details, but that's not out of the ordinary; Yian is a little more reserved, and the little guy is becoming less and less talkative.

Lan Jie'er is lively and is the one who can please the elders the most at the dinner table. Yu Ming is dignified and elegant, and sometimes takes care of Lan Jie'er beside him, and has the calm demeanor of an older sister.

Zhou Chunfeng had to have a few drinks with Jiang Li. At this moment, he felt a different kind of emotion in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, the little ones who once surrounded him have grown up under the careful care of his wife. As a father, he has been absent from many things over the years, and he will do his best to make up for it in the future.

At night, the couple returned to the main hall bedroom. Yuan Niang brought hot water for washing their faces. Jiang Li took the hot towel himself and said, "It's getting late. Yuan Niang, you should go down and rest early."

Yuan Niang knew that at this moment, it would be a pity to offend the master and the marquis, so she smiled and said, "Yes, my lady."

When leaving the bedroom, don't forget to close the door.

Jiang Li handed the hot pack to the man beside her: "You reek of alcohol, wash your face quickly."

She noticed that Zhou Chunfeng's alcohol tolerance had improved during his years of marching.

Zhou Chunfeng smiled softly, took the hot handkerchief and wiped it, then took his wife's hand and took out a brocade naan from his arms.

Jiang Li put the handkerchief back on her face and looked at the brocade naan curiously: "What's inside?"

Zhou Chunfeng opened the laces of the brocade naan and took out a pair of pure gold rings from it.

"This pair of rings was made for me personally. I've worn them for a few years now, so I wanted to give them to you personally."

Seeing this, Jiang Li couldn't help but stretch out his right hand with amusement: "I didn't expect that Lord Hou has such amazing skills."

Zhou Chunfeng didn't realize it was teasing, and felt very satisfied. He put the ring on Jiang Li's right ring finger.

From ancient times to the present, rings are not a rare thing, but in this era, it is rare for couples to wear rings together. Zhou Chunfeng feels that he has always owed his wife a sense of ritual, and all he can do is express it in this pair of rings.

Zhou Chunfeng said proudly, "Our names are engraved on the inner ring."

Jiang Li blinked in surprise, took the man's ring, looked at it carefully, and found that the inner ring was indeed engraved with their names. A soft smile appeared on her face, and she put the ring on him.

"I didn't know you were so funny before."

Zhou Chunfeng jokingly embraced her and whispered to her, "I, Zhou, am blessed by God to have you back by my side again. This humor will naturally be left to my wife."

Jiang Li's heart was filled with sweetness, and she snuggled tightly in his arms.

Who says it isn't true? She should be thanking Zhou Chunfeng for not leaving her alone in both lives.
