On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 419 Returning to Mother’s Home

How noisy can a little kid who is only three years old and hasn’t even had his second birthday be?

Xiao Xiao didn’t know about other people’s children, but her own brother really made her laugh and cry.

As soon as she walked in, she saw Dabao lying on the puppy.

Fortunately, I have raised this dog for more than half a year and it has become tamed.

Even though he was pinned down by Dabao, he did not get angry with the naughty little master. Instead, he barked a few times, hoping that someone would come and rescue him.

Xiao Xiao went forward to pull her brother up from the dog that was about to be crushed, and said speechlessly: "Dabao, don't you know how heavy you are?"

"Third sister," Dabao was very happy to see her, and asked as if he understood, "How heavy is Dabao?"

Although a little naughty, he is white and chubby with big eyes, and is still very cute.

After saying that, he opened his arms towards her for a hug.

Yiqing, who was following behind, quickly went forward and hugged him, smiling and said, "Young Master, the third lady brought you some delicious chestnut cakes and melons. Shall we go get some?"

Dabao immediately turned to her and responded in a baby voice: "Okay, I want something delicious."

Xiao Xiao walked inside and met an old woman who was hurriedly carrying a wooden basin.

The old woman said in surprise: "Third Miss, you are back."

She looked around but didn't see Dabao, so she asked in panic, "Has the third lady seen the young master?"

"Yiqing took him out to get food." Xiao Xiao asked her, "Is everyone at home?"

The door was ajar when they came in.

The old woman was relieved to hear that the young master was fine, and said with a smile: "The old master went to the market."

"Madam and the others went to the shop, leaving us at home to look after the young master."

"Earlier, Sister Chen wanted to dry the mattress, and I went to help her. I didn't dare to stay away from the young master for long."

The Xiao family now has four maids, freeing the women in the Xiao family from cooking, washing clothes and cleaning, so they all like to take a look around the shop.

Especially Xiao Xiao’s seafood restaurant, she went there every few days at the beginning.

But as I ate more, my enthusiasm dropped.

She was like a piece of pants that refused to admit its mistake and completely forgot that she had said before that she would never get tired of eating seafood every day.

Especially after getting pregnant, some seafood cannot be eaten. In order to avoid being greedy, Xiao Xiao hasn't been to the seafood restaurant for a long time.

"Oh, then I'll go in and take a rest first."

The old woman also quickly responded: "Miss Third, please do as you please. I will go and invite the wife back."

After saying that, he turned and ran away without even thinking of bringing Xiao Xiao a cup of tea.

The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth twitched. This old woman was really inferior to Yan Mama and the others.

He kept calling her "I" and went to find someone without caring that she hadn't sat down yet.

It’s not that she dislikes her natal family, but if she interacts with noble families in the future, she has to be careful about these things.

Of course, if Liu and the others are unwilling to show up at the charity hall, Xiao Xiao will not force them. It is good to be content with a small fortune.

Xiao Xiao sat comfortably on the recliner outside. After a while, Yiqing brought Dabao in. Seeing her lying on the bamboo chair, she quickly went to the house to get a blanket: "Master, please get up first. Let me put a blanket under you. It will be soft and comfortable for you to lie down."

After the cushion was laid, Xiao Xiao lay down on the recliner again, and Yiqing went in to pour water and serve snacks.

After the three sisters Xiao Xiao got married, although they did not return to their parents' home every three or five days, they would come back two or three times a month. This was thanks to the Jiang family that Xiao Xiu married into, and the Chen family that Xiao Lian married into, both of which were easy to talk to, so that the married women could come back so often.

Xiao Xiao was able to come back so often because Mrs. Li allowed her to do so.

Because Mrs. Li was afraid that the Xiao family would go to the General's Mansion to visit Xiao Xiao, she was impatient to receive the Xiao family.

Another thing is that he wanted Li Yan to understand that the Xiao family was just an ordinary family and could not help him.

Of course, Mrs. Li must be hoping that the Xiao family could drag down her eldest son.

Unfortunately, up to now, the Xiao family has not come to ask for help.

On the contrary, there was a turmoil in the capital before, and he and his family were able to escape disaster thanks to the Xiao family.

Therefore, she felt even more embarrassed to control Xiao Xiao and let her go back to her parents' home.

Dabao was chewing on the chestnut cake, and he came close to Xiaoxiao, looking at her slightly bulging belly, and began to speak in a baby voice: "I am Dabao, the eldest nephew is Xiaobao, what kind of treasure is the third sister giving birth to?"

Xiao Xiao teased him deliberately: "The baby born by the third sister is a custard bun."

"What is custard bun?" Dabao looked confused, which made Xiao Xiao laugh.

Dabao didn't know why she was laughing, so he just laughed along with her.

Xiao Xiao held back her laughter and asked in a low voice, "Do you think the third sister is carrying a boy or a girl?"

She didn't really believe it, but she heard that what the not-so-sensible kids said was very accurate.

Dabao felt that he could be useful now, and he puffed out his chest and said, "Dad and Mom said it would be better if my third sister gave birth to a boy."

Then he leaned closer to her and whispered, "But I like little girls. Can you give me a little sister?"

"Okay, okay," Xiao Xiao felt that she would be able to verify whether what her brother said was true in a few months, so she rubbed his little head and said, "But she's not a little sister, she's a niece."

The elder sisters often come back, and Dabao is no stranger to them, so he pesters Xiao Xiao again: "Third sister, can you take me out to play?"

Xiao Xiao lay still: "Not today, Third Sister is tired, wait for your eldest sister and second sister to come back, and let them take you out to play, okay?"

"Okay then." Dabao wasn't a very bossy kid, he just said whatever came to his mind: "Brother, take me out for some delicious food."

"I like the purse that Sister Xuan made for me. It's so pretty."

Liu came back in a hurry. Seeing her little daughter hugging her little son and talking, she couldn't help but laugh: "San'er, you're back. Can you have lunch at home later?"

When the daughters come back, most of them have lunch and then rest for a while before going back.

It’s not far away and they can meet often, so Liu is already very satisfied.

"Okay," Xiao Xiao didn't get up, but asked her mother to sit down: "Dad is out again?"

Now that King Jin'an has proclaimed himself emperor, this place is the imperial capital. More merchants are traveling here from the south to the north, so the business of the Seafood Restaurant and Boss Xiao's seafood business has improved a lot.

Now, every trip by Boss Xiao can bring in enough seafood to fill ten mule carts.

"Yes, she should be back in two or three days." Liu began to care about her health and whether she had been wronged in the Li Mansion.

While the mother and daughter were chatting, Dabao couldn't stay still anymore, so he picked up the broom and rode it as if it were a horse, and started riding around the yard.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao inadvertently said: "Dabao is lively and active. If he wants to practice martial arts, he can start to lay the foundation slowly."

Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "The three sons-in-law are all good at martial arts. I really want your brother to learn some kung fu."

"Your eldest sister also said that practicing martial arts can at least protect you and strengthen your body."

"Your eldest sister also asked me to send your brother to the Jiang family to learn martial arts. What do you think?"
