Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

Tang Ershi had been touching the smooth, slightly yellowish jade pendant for half an hour.

The jade pendant the child wore was already small, and then it was broken in half. The other half was only the size of a fingernail.

It's impossible to tell what's carved on it. The characters are incomplete; only the character for "wood" is visible. The other half is difficult to guess. Could it be a surname? A given name? Or perhaps a courtesy name, or a character with some special meaning?

Jiang was also unable to identify which villain from the Zhou family wanted to kill him. According to the investigations of the thirteenth and fourteenth, the Zhou family was a large clan with hundreds of people, from the master to the servants, making it impossible to trace them.

All I know is that I am from Beijing.

Two days later, Tan Jiaqiang and Li Sanhu went to the village to familiarize themselves with the situation.

The Gao family and the Wei family also went together. Although the furniture was complete, many bedding and daily necessities still needed to be purchased.

Little Sweetie spent two days with Ge'er and Taozi, and they all indulged and pampered her. She had a wonderful time and refused to go out with Wei Shi. The weather was cold and the journey was not short, so it was indeed inconvenient to take her out.

Ru Xiu brought them a hundred taels of silver notes, fearing they would be stingy and afraid to spend the money, and repeatedly told Gao and Wei: living in such a nice house, you should naturally have nice things to match it.

I also specifically told them that when they went shopping at Xianshufang, they should mention their names, and they would get some discounts.

Seeing that she was too worried, Tang also felt that she was ignorant and might not be able to handle the matter well. Since she was going to visit the old lady anyway, she thought it would be better to ask Master Zhang to send someone he knew to help with the task. This made the scholar feel a little more at ease.

Tang Ershi, of course, wouldn't just sit back and do nothing, so he secretly slipped Tan Jiaqiang another hundred taels of silver, telling them to spend it without worry.

Ru Xiu repeatedly begged Gao Shi to let her family keep Qizhu Garden. Gao Shi naturally had no reason not to agree. Zhuangzi originally belonged to her daughter. If it weren't for her son-in-law's repeated persuasion, her family wouldn't have gone to cause trouble. However, thinking that she could see her daughter and nephew more often in the future, and that her son-in-law had returned safely, her joy was beyond words.

With Tan Xiucai joining the study, it became much more lively. Ru Xiu no longer needed to teach, but occasionally they would pester her to tell a story or two. Tan Xiucai took care of everything else.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise. He personally trained both of his grandsons. By dividing the focus, the analysis becomes more relevant to the times, and Xi Ge and Le Ge's progress is just around the corner.

Tang Ershi, along with Xige and Lege, went to the bookstore and bought a lot of writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones. Tan Xiucai simply divided them into two classes to teach them.

Xi Ge, Le Ge, and Tang Ershi are in the senior class; Shi Jie and several younger children are in the junior class, so the junior class can also practice calligraphy in another study room with brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, which is much warmer.

Not to mention, once they entered the study, the children in the small class became much more well-behaved and refined. Pingzi and Shijie naturally took the lead, and their enthusiasm for learning was no less than anyone else's. However, Tan Xiucai would give Ge'er and Taozi some perks, allowing them enough time to play.

With Cui Niang in the kitchen and garden, Second Aunt only needed to help out occasionally. But she was used to being busy and her hands were never idle. She would often tidy up the children's rooms, help with handicrafts occasionally, and also take care of the children, which kept her very busy.

Little Sweetie now loves being with Ruxiu the most. When her two older sisters aren't around, she calls out "Dudu, Dudu." Her aunt always dresses her up beautifully and takes her out shopping to buy candy.

With the addition of the summer and autumn seasons, Shi Jie's handicraft work has become much easier. She can often spend time with her family, and occasionally she even sneaks off to sleep with her mother and Ge'er. She has also become more and more lively.

Er Mao was busy working in the garden with her mother, but whenever Tang Ershi and his men called, she would go along to practice some martial arts and run errands.

When Ruxiu delivered the second batch of dried fish and shrimp to Baixianglou, Tan Jiaqiang and his group returned. At this time, Xiaotiantian remembered that her parents and grandmother had been missing for a few days, and she became attached to Wei and Gao again.

As originally planned, they arranged the front courtyard of the manor into an academy, with Tan Xiucai and his wife living in the second courtyard, Ru Xiu's family living in "Qizhu" in the back courtyard, and Tang Jiaqiang's family living in "Luqu" next door.

It was definitely the children's and in-laws' idea for Tang Ershi to come along; there was no reason for the couple to be separated. However, what he told Ruxiu could only be an excuse for the convenience of learning martial arts.

The other "mountain cottage" can be used by Auntie Er's family or Tang Ershi's entourage.

Tan Xiucai consulted the old almanac and set two dates for Ruxiu to choose from. Ruxiu chose the day after the deadline for delivering the doll to Xianshufang, which was the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. The timing was a bit tight, but there was no other way; she was simply too busy to do it on her own.

They agreed to set off together from Qinghe Town. Tan Jiaqiang and Wei Shi would naturally have to return to Tanjia Village to handle matters related to land leasing and house management. They would also have to go to Wei Shi's maternal home to deliver a message, and finally, they would have to pack some things.

Ru Xiu and her second aunt went back to Tangjia Village to kill chickens and fry fish to offer sacrifices to Tang Ershi in advance, and the family couldn't stop them.

We gave a New Year's gift to the village chief, clan head, and several elders.

When she went to the village chief and clan chief, she specifically mentioned that she still had 30 jin of pork at Tang Laoqi's house, and asked the village chief and clan chief to distribute it directly to each household in the village. The village chief and clan chief both thought that Ruxiu was capable of doing things.

In fact, Ru Xiu just didn't want to benefit Tang Laoqi's family. When she returned to the village, she naturally heard about what had happened to his family, but Ru Xiu felt that they deserved it.

I also told the village chief and clan chief that I was going to Taocheng with my parents for the New Year. They naturally assumed that I was going to a noble family and didn't ask any questions, but they were also amazed by their good fortune after all their hardships.

Ru Xiu hasn't mentioned the matter of buying the estate yet.

They went up the mountain again to check if the size and number of chickens needed to be increased, and also added a lot of spiritual spring water to the small pond, as well as a lot of larger fish and shrimp.

My second aunt specifically instructed the few people who did handicrafts to take their own oxcart under the big banyan tree on the 24th of the lunar year and go to the house in town for a meal.

Business families have a tradition of treating their employees to a meal at the end of the year. After the meal, it is considered that the year's work is finished, and it is also a way to thank the employees for their hard work throughout the year.

Originally, the year-end banquet was on the 26th, but because it conflicted with the time when the villagers joined, Ruxiu moved the date forward. By then, the dolls had been finished, and the wages could be settled at the same time. While eating, she also prepared some New Year's gifts for them.

Unexpectedly, Tan Jiaqiang and his family returned from Tanjia Village with a cart full of things, including some useful farm tools. Ru Xiu was speechless.

With the year-end approaching, seeing so many people in the house every day and not being able to help, Gao Shi and Tan Jiaqiang became restless and told Ruxiu that they wanted to go to the estate ahead of time.

After hearing this, the children, who weren't as focused on their studies, also started clamoring to go along, except for Xige, of course.

The children had long yearned to learn about Zhuangzi after hearing Ru Xiu and Tang Ershi's descriptions of him. This time, they were even more eager to ask their grandmother, uncle, and aunt about him. Even Tan Xiucai wanted to see what his academy was like as soon as possible, thinking that he should at least write a few words about it.

Gao and Wei were even more eager to go. Once they got there, they would quickly make rice cakes, wrap zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and fry dumplings. How could they wait until the last few days of the year to do everything? The New Year should look like the New Year, and this year it's a big family reunion!

There wouldn't be enough room in both cars, so it would be easier for both sides if they went early. Therefore, Ruxiu agreed to let them go early.

Auntie Er originally wanted Pingzi and Taozi to go with her, but Ge'er and Le Ge insisted on taking them along. In the end, Auntie Er had no choice but to agree after they said they would pick up Ruxiu and send them back that day.

Xi Ge and Le Ge went to Tang Ershi's room to warn him to take good care of his mother. They naturally felt that even if his mother couldn't recognize his father, his father should use even better tricks than on the battlefield to win his mother's heart.

Tang Ershi felt that this task was much more difficult than the one assigned by the general.

It took almost half an hour to pack their things. Tan Jiaqiang drove the oxcart, while Shiyi and Sanhu each drove a horse-drawn carriage. Ruxiu also brought them a lot of food.

Tang Ershi was worried about the elderly and children, so he called Shiwu and Ermao to go back together. He said that Shiyi and Ermao could drive back later, and Shiwu would stay to teach the children martial arts.

Tang Ershi will definitely stay in Qinghe Town with Ruxiu. So, apart from Cui Niang, Second Aunt, and Sister Shi and the other girls who are still at home doing handicrafts, everyone else has gone to the village.
