"Since tomorrow is a day off, come over and have dinner with us tonight. It's been a while since you last saw Sister Xi, so let her tell you about the situation over there. She'll tell you what mother, grandparents, and others have said, so you can understand."

I could only pick out the important and encouraging words in the classroom, but the children still want to know what their family members said specifically. How can a child of that age not miss his mother?

When the children heard this, they were so happy that they refused to sit down quietly after entering the yard. They all crowded around Jing Chunxi and Pu Ge'er, especially Jing Mingjin, the legitimate daughter of the second house, who was neither too old nor too young. She stuck to Jing Chunxi's arm and kept calling him, "Cousin Xi." Her faces were all sunny, and Jing Chunxi touched her hard.

Among the five children, Jing Chunxi is only familiar with the second son of the second wife, Jing Congxuan (Wulang). The concubine daughter of the first wife, Jing Mingyao (Yaoyao), also played with her when she came back in the past. However, the one who is most attached to her is the second daughter of the second wife, Jing Mingjin (Jin Jie'er). The reason why Jing Chunxi likes the little girl is because she looks very much like Jin Jie'er when she was a child.

As for the second wife's illegitimate son Jing Conghao (Liulang), she had no impression of him at all; and she had never even seen Jing Mingyan (Yan Jie'er) before.

"Eldest cousin, second cousin, third cousin, fourth cousin, you have so many gifts." Jing Chunxi found it funny to hear so many people come out at once. However, the cousins ​​were indeed very thoughtful. Whether they carved something themselves or found something, they always thought of their younger siblings at home. Especially Sanlang, who had learned carpentry from Jing Changming for a few days and made a small wooden doll for his younger siblings.

But Jing Chunxi would not leave out Jing Mingyue and Xiaotuanzi. After all, they had also put in a lot of effort and brought back gifts: "Big cousin and Xiaotuanzi have given you some too."

Sister Jin was stunned for a moment: "Little Tuanzi?" No one else could figure out who Little Tuanzi was.

Yaoyao actually thought of it and pointed at Sister Jin and said, "It's my sister."

Sister Jin was still a little stunned, and instead looked at Sister Yan, and then Wu Lang knocked her, reminding her: "It's Mingzhu!"

The children burst into laughter, but Sister Jin still didn't believe it and said with a look of disgust, "What can she give?"

But he always had a smile on his face and didn't care what the gift was.

Jing Chunxi smiled: "She is very capable now. She can even help raise rabbits at home."

Jin Jieer laughed again, made a face, and "tsk tsk"ed twice, shaking her head like a rattle. Her expression said: I don't believe it! I don't believe it!

The mother and daughter almost slept in each other's arms.

The original communication that night turned into Jing Chunxi talking while his mother listened, saying things that he couldn't say in the reply letter.

Jing Chunxi did not hide a single thing from his mother about the numerous dangers encountered on the road of exile, from the serious criminals who got involved on the road, to being bitten by a snake while panning for gold, to the subsequent fire, frightened horses, encounter with a pack of wolves, eating poisonous mushrooms, and later the theft of poison, to several people being kidnapped by bandits and how they escaped danger, including the murder of Mr. Fang who was killed in a foreign land, the initial conflict with the old patriarch's family, and how they were burned by fire and eaten by wolves, but still did not give up, how they were poisoned and framed, and how the whole family finally died together, with all of them except Jing Mingrong dying on the road of exile. He told his mother everything in detail.

Jing Qiurong listened to the many dangers along the way and the twists and turns of events, and she couldn't calm down the whole night.

She was even more thankful that her daughter had insisted on going into exile and she did not stop her, otherwise it would really be like in her previous life, and she would never see her family again.

Jing Chunxi was also talking until her mouth was dry. Jing Qiurong asked her to talk about what happened in Yamen Village later. Jing Qiurong felt that her heart could not bear it if she continued talking about it.

After taking a few sips of warm water, Jing Chunxi finally fell into a deep sleep. In his sleep, he murmured, "I'll sleep with mother tomorrow night."

Jing Qiurong didn't fall asleep until the rooster crowed. Her hands, which were holding Jing Chunxi, were trembling slightly before she fell asleep, and she was still dreaming.

She had originally planned to tell her daughter about many things in the capital and Qingshan Villa, but she didn't say a word. After hearing about the events of her exile, she felt that matters at home were not a big deal and could be left to her daughter to digest slowly later.

She even had the idea of ​​asking Brother Jing to teach her martial arts. She was not attentive enough when her father taught her before, and after getting married with the protection of Qingyi and Ziyi, she completely gave up. Now she has to pick it up again.

She didn't want her daughter to always charge ahead of her to protect the family. At least she and Pu Ge'er had to protect themselves and not hold her daughter back.

She even felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier that she should have made use of the previous few months and started practicing a few months earlier, she would have made progress by now.

She was too tired from listening to the lecture tonight and was afraid she wouldn't be able to get up early tomorrow. She planned to start weighted running with her daughter the day after tomorrow.

……

When running with weights in Yamen Village, she always liked to argue with Tao Jin. Even though they would occasionally have a quarrel, he always stayed with her to the end and she never stopped.

The day before his return trip, Jing Chunxi was able to jump higher than himself after taking off a three-pound sandbag. Tao Jin said that beginners make rapid progress in the first two months of learning, but if they want to jump over the wall, they need to persist in daily training for at least half a year.

Jing Chunxi did not slack off on the way back to Beijing. Even when following the caravan, he insisted on getting off his horse and running with weights every day. The weight on one side of his leg had increased to four pounds, and his limbs began to have hard muscles, but they were all hidden in the loose clothes. Outsiders only looked thinner and taller, but still weak.
