After the imperial examinations, I grew up by farming

Chapter 27 Sleeping Together
Two boys.

One went back to announce the good news, and the other was busy renting a carriage.

Mrs. Xu's Mrs. Lin went to bed early, and had dinner early. It was not dark yet, and a dozen or so generations of grandparents and grandchildren had gathered around the big dinner table for dinner.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was dull, even the eight-year-old Xu Linfu, the eighth child, and Xu Linrong, the ninth child, lost their former liveliness.

"Is there any news?" The old lady picked up a vegetable and put it down again, unable to restrain herself from asking.

"Mother, you just asked before serving." The second lady answered, and the second master kicked her under the table: You are the one who talks too much!

The old lady let out an "oh" in a sense of loss.

Everyone envies her good life.

Three sons, four grandsons, and five granddaughters, all of them are filial and promising.

But no matter how good life is, there are also flaws.

The eldest grandson, Xu Ningwen, was calling the shots in the mall, but seeing that he was thirty in autumn, he didn't even mention marriage.

The second grandson, Xu Ningcheng, is both civil and military, but before he became a general, he fell headfirst into the gentle village of women in the mountains and fields, and severed ties with his family.

The third grandson, Xu Ning, is the most stable and down-to-earth. Although he is not as daring as the eldest grandson, he is also young and promising. Whoever thought of such a disaster did not even leave a whole body behind.

The little grandson, Xu Ningyu, is a young talent who passed all the way in the examination room, but now his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unpredictable.

There is also the poor fourth granddaughter Xu Linqian, who is the same age as Huaer...

Thinking of the third grandson and fourth granddaughter who died in a foreign country, the old lady glanced at the eldest daughter-in-law Liu——

After all, it came halfway, no matter what, it is not as good as before.

The old lady sighed silently.

full!

"Mother Liu, help me back to the house." The old lady said, putting her right hand on Mother Liu's forearm, as if to get up.

"Mother, you haven't eaten anything yet!" The second lady stood up abruptly.

"Yeah, mother, people are like iron, rice is like steel, you can't stop eating three times a day, sit down and eat some more, this sweet and sour dish—"

The third lady snatched her mother-in-law's hand from Liu's mother, and gently pressed her back on the chair. Halfway through the conversation, she caught a glimpse of the young man squatting at the ferry rushing into the yard and running towards the dining room.

The third lady let go of her mother-in-law's hand, rushed to the door, and asked impatiently, "Is there any news?"

……

Ning Yu and the others returned home in a carriage.

The baggage was left at the ferry, where two young servants stood guard, and the steward sent someone to pull it back.

"Seventh brother! Seventh brother!"

The carriage was about to come to a stop, and the step stool hadn't been put down yet, the eighth brother Xu Linfu and the ninth child Xu Linrong climbed on the front panel and looked into the car, looking through the autumn water, first they saw a fierce big brother.

The two little girls took a few steps back in fright and hid behind their biological sister Xu Linpeng.

Seeing the surprise, Xu Ningwen got out of the car with a cold face.

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt." Xu Ningwen called out to the two elders, glanced at the bright yellow hiding behind the crowd, and walked towards the gate.

"Brother Wen, you can't enter right now, wait for Brother Yu." The third lady stopped Xu Ningwen.

Xu Ningwen looked towards the gate, and the housekeeper was calling for someone to light the brazier.

Ning Yu adjusted her emotions, took a deep breath and got out of the carriage.

Xu Ningyu's third wife, the third wife, looked her up and down, and hugged her tightly after looking at her, crying, laughing, and crying when laughing, crying and laughing for a long time.

Xu Ningyu's father, the third master, restrained himself a little, and wiped his tears secretly with his back turned.

The fifth sister, Xu Linpeng, the eighth sister, Xu Linfu, and the ninth sister, Xu Linrong, were present in the second bedroom. When the older sisters saw her, their faces and eyes were full of joy, especially the pair of twin sisters, who were very curious and chattering.

The eldest aunt Liu Shi and the sixth sister Liu Xin stood outside, a little out of place.

The Liu family is the uncle's housekeeper, and the sixth sister, Liu Xin, is not of the Xu family's blood. She grew up in the Xu family for eight years and has not been included in the family tree so far.

Don't look at eight or nine brothers and sisters, but it's easy to remember. For those whose surname is Xu, who are still alive, there is only one Xu Ningwen in the first room, only one Xu Ningyu in the third room, and the rest are all second rooms.

After exchanging pleasantries, Ning Yu found that a few people were missing.

"Mother, where is grandma? There are uncle, uncle, and aunt, why haven't you seen it?"

"Brother Seven, Grandma has fainted." Lao Ba rushed to reply.

"Yeah, the doctor has already been invited." Lao Jiu added.

"Your grandmother heard that the two precious grandchildren are safe and sound, a little excited..."

The third lady took the conversation and talked about the mother-in-law clamoring to go to the ferry to meet people, but she fainted before the door came out, and the elder brother and the second elder brother and his wife were taking care of them in the house.

"It's all ready, Brother Wen, Brother Yu, let's go in quickly." The eldest lady Liu, who had been silent all this time, spoke in a soft and soft voice.

After finishing speaking, he carefully glanced at Xu Ningwen.

His stepson, Xu Ningwen, hated their mother and daughter for eight years.

Surrounded by a group of people, Ning Yu stepped over the threshold, and a luxurious mansion with four courtyards side by side appeared in front of her eyes.

One scene in three steps, one painting in five steps, one scene and one painting depict the four characters of "wealthy and powerful", which fully displays the unrestrained temperament of the nouveau riche who spend money like water.

Xu Zhuang took Huang Chao down to settle down, and Ning Yu followed the main force to the old lady's courtyard.

The old lady is already awake.

"Grandmother." Ning Yu walked to Babu's bed, the kind-hearted grandmother made people want to get closer.

The old lady held Ning Yu with her left hand, and brought Xu Ningwen to her with her right hand, holding Xu Ningwen's hand as if she was holding Ning Yu.

"Grandma's two precious grandchildren, grandma is looking forward to you back, let grandma take a good look..."

The old lady dragged her two grandsons to question, crying and laughing.

Ning Yu answered one by one with great patience.

Xu Ningwen occasionally responded with a sentence. The old lady knew the temper of the eldest grandson, and she was quite happy to get a few responses.

"...I lost weight, I lost weight." The old lady stroked the chins of her two grandsons, and each hand was more painful than the other.

"Boss daughter-in-law, hurry up tomorrow, let the kitchen stew two cups of nourishing soup every day, make three or five dishes that the sisters like to eat in the morning, noon and evening, and cook the rest according to the taste of the two sons. Sun, let’s talk about raising the lost meat.”

The old lady smiled and folded the hands of the two grandsons together, held them, and looked at the well-behaved granddaughters, smiling from ear to ear.

Although her life was ill-fated when she was young, her life was good!

"Yes, mother." The eldest lady agreed softly.

"Thank you, grandma! Thank you, auntie!" The elderly are very sensitive, and they should be carefully cared for.Ning Yu hugged the old lady happily.

The old lady was very happy.

She is old, and being able to watch her children and grandchildren eat, watch their children and grandchildren laugh, and watch their children and grandchildren get better every year is more satisfying than anything else.

After talking for a while, the dinner was re-opened, and the family talked and laughed, having fun.

The second lady looked at the two nephews, feeling a little disappointed.

Brother Wen and brother Yu are back, and her brother Cheng, who knows when he will be back?

There was also her eldest grandson, who was the eldest grandson of the Xu family. He was too young to read and write well, and he followed his poor mother up and down the mountains and fields all day long.

After eating and drinking enough, the whole family sent the old lady back to the house for a rest.

Coming out of the old lady's room, Ning Yu held his father in his left hand and his mother in his right hand. He called mother and father again, and the family of three walked shoulder to shoulder towards the nomination institute and returned to their small home.

The full moon hangs high.

The third master turned off the lights and ran to the bed, a hungry tiger pounced on the bed, hugged the third lady, "Madam, my son is back, tonight...hehe, ma'am, I'm here..."

"Father, mother, are you asleep?"

"Sleep!"

"No sleep!"

Two voices came from the room at the same time.

The third lady lifted the man from her body, straightened her hair, lit the lamp, and called Ning Yu into the room.

Taking advantage of this time, the third master put on his middle coat.

"Mother, father, I can't sleep, I want to sleep with you." Ning Yu hugged the soft round pillow, looking longingly at the freshly baked parents.

You are here, what should I do?The third master jumped up and objected.

"You kid, what nonsense are you talking about? A teenage girl is sleeping with daddy. Thanks to you, you can say it."

"The bed is so spacious, why can't I sleep?" The third lady took the pillow in Ning Yu's hand and put it inside.

"Son, no, it's a daughter, sleep inside, I sleep in the middle, you, Xu Houcun, sleep outside, that's it, sleep."

"Thank you, mother!" Ning Yu happily ran to the innermost side to lie down, and pulled the quilt over.

The third wife slept soundly with her daughter in her arms.

The third master looked at the moonlight leaking in from outside the house, and turned his head to see the back of the lady's head, with endless sadness.
