Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

The children's relationship with their master grew increasingly harmonious. However, the relationship between their mother and father did not progress; both were too busy, causing the children's lips to bleed with anxiety.

What should we do? If Mother still doesn't recognize Father after the New Year, Father will have to return to the army camp. If Mother and Father still can't recognize each other by then, who knows when they will be able to see each other again.

"Second Aunt, I still want to go to Taocheng. It's time to take the old lady's pulse."

Ru Xiu still planned to buy two more servants. It wasn't good for her and her family to be spinning like tops every day, and she didn't want to die from overwork.

My second aunt is getting old, and she suffers with me every day doing so much work; I can't bear it.

We should take this opportunity to buy the food we need to stock up on, otherwise it will definitely be more expensive as the end of the year approaches.

We still need to buy a horse-drawn carriage. In this day and age, not having one is like having a broken leg; it's inconvenient to do anything.

Having a carriage also requires a driver.

Ru Xiu listed them all out.

She gave the children some instructions in the study. She didn't hide anything from Xige, Lege, and Shijie, nor was there any need to. As the children grow older, they should be involved in many things.

"Mother, I still think you should let Master go with you. Master rides horses every day and knows how to judge them. He even taught us how to ride last time! He knows whether the horses are good or not, and what problems they have," Brother Le strongly recommended.

“Mother hasn’t had much time to practice martial arts lately, and your strength isn’t enough. We’re worried about you going alone, especially with all these things to do this time,” Xige also tried his best to persuade her.

Ru Xiu was very clear about her own abilities. Although she had been learning some rudimentary skills, she might be able to handle one or two weaklings, but she would be completely helpless against a tough opponent.

Ever since the awkward encounter with Brother Tang, Ru Xiu has always asked him to teach her the steps one by one before she can spar with him. Her opponents are often Brother Xi and Brother Le, and Sister Shi will also spar with her.

Although he still couldn't avoid occasional physical contact with Tang Erge, it wasn't as awkward anymore. Tang Ershi was quite upset about this for a long time, as he hadn't seen his wife's shy smile in a long time.

This not only worried the children, but also frustrated Tang Ershi. The children often gave him disapproving looks, thinking that he was a useless father who couldn't even handle his mother.

Only Ge'er never complained and often happily played with him, even hugging him a few times, truly being her father's little darling.

“I can also observe servants. I often come into contact with the enemy's rear camp. I can almost see through a person's nature at a glance. I can tell a good person from a bad one just by looking at them.” Tang Ershi naturally wanted to be with his dear wife.

Ru Xiu had originally planned to go first and then ask Master Zhang for help, but this way she wouldn't have to trouble him. Since the children all said so, and he was already so eager to promote himself, it saved her the trouble.

“At home, listen patiently to your fifteenth uncle’s teachings, and don’t neglect your studies. It’s best to go out as little as possible.” After saying this, Tang Ershi hurriedly touched his nose guiltily. Why did he automatically assume the role of a strict father? Fortunately, Ruxiu and the children didn’t notice.

The children patted their chests and assured them, "Alright, you can go ahead. We'll take care of things at home." It was a promise to their mother, and also a promise to their father.

This time I didn't take a ride with Bai Xiang Lou. It's almost the end of the year, and their carriages are quite busy, always on the go.

Before leaving, Ru Xiu delivered plenty of fish, shrimp, and chicken to Bai Xiang Lou, and also sent 500 catties of dried fish and dried shrimp in advance. Manager Wang was not surprised and thought that Ru Xiu's wife was really smart and must have prepared in advance by drying them.

Ru Xiu took the more than two hundred taels of silver notes she had obtained this time to Taocheng, and the rest could be easily accessed from her spatial storage.

Tang Ershi somehow got hold of a carriage and had Eleven mount his warhorse. Eleven was also driving the carriage. Anyway, Tang Laoqi's family was in a mess and couldn't do anything wrong. Twelve was enough to keep an eye on Tang Dashi.

The official road to Taocheng was not smooth, just like the previous two times. This time, with no heavy loads on the carriage and only Ruxiu and Tang Ershi in tow, the ride was even more bumpy. I wonder if Eleven was deliberately creating an opportunity for the General and his wife.

They hadn't gone more than twenty miles when Ruxiu was jostled and thrown against Tang Ershi twice. Tang Ershi secretly gave her a thumbs up; she was quite sensible at such a young age, and he would have to give her a reward when they got back.

Held in Tang Ershi's arms, inhaling the faint scent of his hormones, Ru Xiu was momentarily dazed, as if the person before her was the one she should cherish for a lifetime.

Tang Ershi looked down at the woman in his arms, smelling the fragrance of grass on her body. When he met her clear eyes, he felt both familiar and strange. His eyes became misty, and he couldn't help but lower his head and slowly get closer and closer.

The carriage, however, jolted again at this inopportune moment. Ru Xiu was startled to find herself tightly embraced by Tang Ershi, with her mouth and nose so close they were almost touching. She quickly pushed away his chest and opened his embrace, straightened up in her seat, and moved a little further in.

Tang Ershi didn't react for a moment. Even though his arms were empty, he was still immersed in his previous distraction and couldn't control himself. He cursed Eleven in his heart. Eleven was still unaware that he was being disliked.

Now, an ambiguous atmosphere filled the space between the two of them. Ru Xiu felt very oppressed and couldn't quite describe the feeling.

There was a small town not far away, and Shiyi suggested that we go for a walk. He also wanted to stop and feed the horses, mainly because it was too cold and he felt like he was about to freeze if he didn't stop to eat something hot.

Ru Xiu's experience in this ancient place is too limited; apart from Tangjia Village, Qinghe Town, and Taocheng, she has not been anywhere else.

It would be good to take a stroll around the town and see if we could stock up on some food.

We've covered most of the journey. We left early today, it's not even noon yet, so a rest is fine. Even if we wander around for an hour or two, it won't take up much time. As long as I can be with my wife, what difference does it make where we go?

It wasn't market day in the town, so there weren't many people. The three of them found a stall selling wontons and ate a few bites of hot food, which made them feel less cold.

Eleven, being sensible, didn't follow, saying he wanted to rest in the car.

The shop assistants I passed by all called out enthusiastically and greeted me with smiles. The shopkeepers of every little shop were very polite; it was truly rare to have a customer in this kind of weather.

"Madam and young master are a perfect match! We have quite a few ornaments in our shop. Shall we choose a few for you, madam?" Ru Xiu had specially changed into a dress given to her by the old lady before leaving. Clothes from wealthy families were usually custom-made by embroidery workshops: exquisite embroidery and a well-fitting cut made Ru Xiu appear even more graceful and charming. Tang Ershi, on the other hand, wore a dark-colored casual outfit. The fabric was naturally of good quality, with delicate gold thread embroidered on the collar, cuffs, and belt. He was tall and handsome, a rare sight in this town.

Ru Xiu blushed instantly and stole a glance at Tang Ershi. His face, which was reddish-black, had become much paler recently, but it was impossible to tell what his expression was. However, his eyes were filled with deep affection and he did not try to explain.

To the shopkeepers, however, they saw a young couple whose relationship couldn't be better.

Feeling too conspicuous, they were embarrassed to continue exploring and could only turn back and get into the carriage.

This time, Ru Xiu was much calmer, and the two of them didn't dare to get too close. However, whenever there was a slight bump, Tang Ershi would always put his hand above Ru Xiu's head or to her side, for fear of hurting her.
