Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

Suddenly, someone darted into the alley around the corner ahead. Xi Ge paused for a moment, then quickly followed, and started running.

"Brother, what are you doing? Why did you turn into that place?" Seeing that his brother wasn't waiting for him and seemed to have seen something he shouldn't have, Brother Le got anxious.

Rushing around the corner, I saw Brother Xi standing a few meters ahead, staring silently at the gate of a house, as if he were possessed.

Brother Le quickly went over and grabbed his hand to pull him away.

"Brother, hurry back, Auntie and Mother will be worried." Why is my brother acting so strangely all of a sudden?

The door opposite my brother's house was wide open, and a tall, square-faced man stood in the doorway, staring silently at my brother with piercing eyes. He even looked a bit like my brother.

Seeing Brother Le approaching, he looked up and said firmly, "You're Tang Le!"

"Yes, yes, your name is Tang Xi. How do you know us?" Tang Le was very surprised, looking at his older brother who seemed to recognize the person as well.

Brother Le also felt a strange sense of familiarity, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen him before. He just knew he wasn't a bad person.

"Why didn't you come home if you weren't dead?" The brother's voice was devoid of warmth, filled with gritted teeth.

"Come in, we'll talk after you come in." The man stepped back a few paces to open the door.

Without saying a word, Brother Xi followed him inside, and Brother Le also inexplicably felt trust in this uncle, holding a sugar figurine in his hand as he followed him in.

"The whole story is like this..." Tang Ershi asked them to sit down, and without introducing himself, he recounted his infiltration of the enemy and even his false death.

"So you faked your death and are back now?" Brother Xi looked incredulous. This sounded a bit like an old man telling a story.

"You are my father, you are my father! I remember my father is just like this." After hearing the whole story, Le Ge finally realized what was going on, rushed over and hugged his father, crying and whimpering. No wonder it felt so familiar.

Xige had just calmed down and called out "Father," but he still wouldn't get close to him.

I thought I had misjudged him. After confirming that he was my biological father, I thought he had forgotten his family after getting rich and thought he was a scoundrel who abandoned his wife and children.

"So you deliberately lured us in here? That means you knew we lived here?" Brother Xi wasn't stupid; he saw right through him.

"Then why don't you come and acknowledge us?" Brother Xi looked at Fifteen standing next to Tang Ershi again, still a little doubtful. Could it be that he married someone else outside and only wanted a son instead of his wife?

Tang Ershi's face was almost bleeding from Xi Ge's glare. He quickly told the brothers about his encounter with Ru Xiu in Taocheng, which startled Xi Ge and Le Ge.

"You mean your mother doesn't recognize you anymore? That's impossible. Your mother recognized your maternal grandparents and uncle later on, and everyone in the village remembers them too."

"Perhaps if you meet her a few more times, she will remember."

"So Father specially rented a house next to yours, hoping that you would allow your mother to see you more often, and she would naturally remember Father. Father didn't want to force her to acknowledge me as a person." Tang Ershi said, his eyes still filled with pain.

"Then what should we do? Why don't you just move in with us? There are plenty of houses over there." Brother Le said this out of the blue. Brother Xi thought about it and felt it wasn't appropriate. A stranger who didn't even know his own mother should have some kind of status to live with, right?

"Second Aunt and Sister Shi definitely remember Father. You'd better bring them along so they know that Father is not dead."

"Otherwise, they would be startled if they suddenly saw Father, and then it would be difficult to cover up the lie."

Second Auntie also needs to give Caifeng and Li's son-in-law a heads-up, because they might run into each other someday.

After thinking for a long time, Brother Xi and Brother Le realized that this was the only way.

"What about the song? What should we do?"

"Let's not talk about Ge'er for now. She was just born when her father went to serve in the military. She doesn't know her father and is too young to easily let things slip."

When they got home, they distributed the sugar figurines, and Ziyi got one too. She was used to the children's friendliness towards her, and the first time she ate a sugar figurine, she felt sweet inside. Then, Le Ge asked Pingzi and Taozi to take Ge'er to play on the side.

Xige secretly called his second aunt, and Lege also called Shijie to the study. They whispered about something in the study for a long time. When they came out, they were all smiling, but their faces were all mysterious.

Finally, they even went out together when Ruxiu wasn't paying attention.

The children were very happy to be close to their second aunt. Since she was only cooking a few dishes for dinner and could manage on her own, she let them do as they pleased.

During dinner, Ruxiu announced that the children would receive pocket money. Shijie, who contributed the most to the family, would receive fifty coins a month. Ziyi, Xige, and Lege would each receive twenty coins, while Pingzi, Taozi, and Ge'er would each receive ten coins. The children were overjoyed.

No matter what, Sister Shi refused to take more, and finally insisted on taking the same amount of twenty coins as the other three.

Purple Robe wept with joy. She had never had a single copper coin in her pocket before, but unexpectedly, being sold would actually earn her silver. She was so happy. She thought she would save every penny so she could buy candy for her younger siblings when she went back home.

Sister Shi specifically reminded her mother that she needed to draw the design for next month's doll, but her mother was always busy and must have forgotten.

Thinking that Bai Xiang Lou would definitely bring back the materials for making the dolls by tomorrow or the day after at the latest, Ru Xiu simply used the remaining study as her own studio.

Sigh, I'm still busy.

"Mother, today we met a martial arts master who said he could teach us martial arts and self-defense. He also lives not far from our home. Can we practice martial arts for two hours every day after we learn to read?"

In fact, Ru Xiu had this idea for a long time. In this era, wealthy families would hire bodyguards to protect their property.

There is no need to hire a bodyguard at home right now, but if you know some self-defense skills, it can serve as a means of daily self-protection.

People like Brother Xi are naturally strong. If they can train themselves to use their strength effectively, they can protect themselves and their families.

It would be good if several children could practice together, as it could help them improve their physical fitness. I always hear that during the imperial examinations, many students faint before they finish and have to be carried out. Their physical condition is just too weak.

Ru Xiu always had a regret: unlike other female protagonists, she didn't possess a powerful palm technique or superb martial arts skills when she came to this world.

If I could learn even a little bit of martial arts, I wouldn't have to be so careful when I go out. Like the thugs I encountered in Momoshiro last time, having martial arts skills would at least allow me to escape in time.

"That's a good idea, but Mother thinks it would be better if everyone could learn together."

I wonder if the master you mentioned would be willing to come to our home to teach? It would be best if my younger siblings could also learn some martial arts, since we can't always protect them.

"It's definitely possible. Let's go and discuss it with the master."

Le Ge was overjoyed. He and his friends were discussing how to get their mother and father to see each other more often when their mother blurted it out herself.

If I practice martial arts at home every day, wouldn't my father and mother be able to be together? The whole family could be reunited.

Brother Xi also looked delighted: "Master just came back from out of town and was worried about not having any students. If we talk to him, he will definitely agree."

Ru Xiu thought that was possible; at worst, it would just mean the tuition would be a little more expensive, but she didn't need the money right now.

So he nodded in agreement.
