The Road to Doting Wife

Chapter 180 Mutton is delicious, but daddy stinks

Because of Zhao Chen's instructions, and the fact that it was inconvenient for the two sons to hug each other, Ah Ju temporarily decided not to visit Zhao Chen and go to Beijing this time.

Of course Brother Ping and Brother An have no objection. Cancan, who had already received her mother's guarantee, was unhappy, and pestered her mother to let her take her to see her father. Aju lost her temper when she coaxed her little girl. Sensible, if she really loses her temper, Ah Ju can't wait to beat her daughter up.But who told her that her words didn't count this time, Ah Ju knew she was wrong, so she and her daughter sent Brother Ping'er, Anger, to Ning's side, and then brought her back to pack up and prepare to go out.

"Daddy just passed by on a horse. You don't want to cry anymore when you see Daddy, you know?" The little girl's eyes were red, and Ah Ju washed her face first, and told her seriously when she put on cream, so that her daughter wouldn't see him. Daddy wants to go after him, Zhao Chen still has a lot of things to do in the palace, and he will probably come back at night.

Cancan nodded obediently, and looked at her mother with big eyes aggrieved.

Ah Ju nodded her daughter's nose, "If you don't talk to mother, are you still angry with mother?"

"I'm not angry with my mother!" Cancan threw herself into her mother's arms and acted like a spoiled child. She likes her mother the most. She was angry for a while just now, but she is no longer angry.

Ah Ju kissed her daughter, and carried her out, saying she was five years old, but in fact she had only passed her third birthday, and the little girl was not heavy at all.

After leaving the yard, Cancan wanted to go by herself, so Aju led her by the hand.

The mother and daughter walked around the screen wall in the front yard, but saw several carriages stopped at the door of the house one after another, and the leader was Chen Ping.

"Madam, Missy, Master Hou brought a lot of good things from the northwest, and he said he would ask Madam to have a look at them first." Chen Ping ran over with a smile, handed over the gift list in his hand, and glanced at Cancan who was looking at him curiously. I can't help but feel that the eldest lady grows so fast.

Aju took the list and asked her daughter first, "Does Cancan still recognize Guanshi Chen?"

Cancan shook her head.

The regret in Chen Ping's eyes flashed away, and he said with a smile: "I have been gone for a year, how can the eldest miss remember, madam first look at the gift list, I will go and watch them pull things in, and send them to the back later. Ma'am, take a look."

Now the street should be full of people, Ah Ju didn't really want to go, seeing that there were still ten fat sheep on the gift list, she hurriedly asked Chen Ping to bring the sheep in first.

Chen Ping quickly led the people to bring the sheep in, and Ah Ju picked up her daughter so that she could see clearly.It was the first time for Cancan to see sheep, her eyes were not good enough, and she found that there were two lambs in the flock, so she excitedly pointed them out to her mother.

Before Ah Ju was puzzled, Chen Ping explained with a smile: "Mrs., these are sheep from the Western Regions. The wool is fine and good, and the mutton is also delicious. Master Hou tried it there a few times and wanted to bring it back to Madam. My wife is trying something new. I originally bought ten sheep, but on the way there was a sheep and two smaller ones..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Cancan: "There are two more, and I urged Master Hou to eat them for us to satisfy our greed, but Master Hou gave me a whip and said that the two small ones were to be kept by the eldest lady." play."

Cancan's eyes lit up, and she hugged her mother and kissed her neck coquettishly: "The lamb is mine, don't eat the lamb!"

Ah Ju naturally agreed, and asked Chen Ping to bring out the two lambs, and then coaxed his daughter: "Grandmother and younger brothers have never seen the lambs, let's take them over and show them, okay?"

Cancan nodded to the lamb, and asked her mother expectantly: "I want to lead the lamb..."

The two lambs were snow-white in color, not as tall as Cancan, and they looked docile. Aju was very relieved, and she led one for Cancan and the other for herself. The mother and daughter walked back talking and laughing.Cancan concentrates on the new lamb, and has long forgotten the father who gave her the sheep.

Ten big sheep, Aju sent someone to send one to the father-in-law, and each of the Lin family, Ji family, and Li family in the Guo family also gave one each, and kept the rest for their own family. Zhao Chen's triumphant return is a happy event, and his family will definitely treat them .

I went to see the lamb in the morning, and after lunch, Ah Ju, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law accompanied Cancan to watch the other good things that Zhao Chen brought back. Most of them were fresh from the Western Regions. There were several kinds of silk and satin patterns that Ning had never seen. However, Cancan snatched one of the bright red silks into her arms, saying that she was wearing it for a new dress.Having seen ruby ​​red wine, the little girl hugged a jar and said it was hers...

The house is full of joy, even more joyful than during the Chinese New Year.

As the sky gradually darkened, Ah Ju asked her to pack up her things and asked her mother-in-law what she would like to have for dinner.

"Mutton kebabs!" Cancan still remembers the conversation between mother and grandmother, knowing that father brought a cook back, and also remembers that the mutton kebabs made by that cook are the best.

Ning hugged her granddaughter and kissed her: "Okay, then let's make lamb skewers for Cancan, but Cancan is still young, one skewer is enough to satisfy his hunger, and we can't eat more."

Cancan nodded obediently, and Ning turned to her daughter-in-law and said: "We can't finish eating one sheep, how about this, let's try two mutton dishes tonight, and invite all relatives here at noon tomorrow. How is it lively?"

Of course Ah Ju agrees.

Tonight, the cook from Liangzhou made four dishes of kebabs, mutton steamed buns, stewed mutton and mutton balls, plus a few dishes made by his own cook, and the table was full.Because there were only two adults, Aju and Ning, and there were not many dishes, I specially left a portion for Zhao Chen, in case he would only drink and have no time to eat at the celebration banquet.

The mutton is fresh and tender, and Cancan likes to eat mutton skewers the most. The soft and hard meat finally made her grandmother promise her that she can eat more skewers.

The mutton kebabs were still a bit tough, and Ah Ju didn't give them to his sons. Fortunately, the two fat boys were not greedy for their sister at all, and they focused on the mutton balls in the bowl.The cook knew that he wanted to feed the two young masters, so he deliberately cooked it for a while. The mutton balls were rotten and the soup was delicious, and the taste was extreme. The two brothers ate with great enthusiasm. They used to eat and play for a while at dinner, but tonight it was useless The mother took care of it, and ate all the meatballs that the mother gave out, and had to drink soup after eating.

Ah Ju wiped Brother Ping's greasy mouth, "Are the meatballs delicious?"

Brother Ping nodded, leaning on the table to look into the big soup bowl.

Afraid they would miss it, Ah Ju and Ning ate up all the meatballs long ago, but Brother Ping couldn't find the meatballs, so he pursed his lips and sat down again.Ah Ju smiled and asked him: "Brother Ping likes to eat meatballs, do you know who gave them?"

"Mother!" Brother Ping looked at his mother and smiled.

Cancan interjected: "No, it was given by daddy. The sheep that daddy brought back from the Western Regions are different from the ones in the capital."

Brother Ping turned his head to look at his sister, his eyes were a little dazed.

"Ball!" An Ge'er climbed onto his mother's lap, still wanting to eat it.The little guy doesn't know how to say meatballs, they are all round anyway, and he calls balls when he sees them.

Ah Ju teased him: "Brother An calls Daddy, and Daddy will make meatballs for Brother An tomorrow night."

An Ge'er stepped on his mother's leg twice, wrinkled his face and tried hard, but in the end he still shouted the ball, or lost it.

Ah Ju kissed the fat son, and looked at the boss.

Brother Ping talks and walks faster than his younger brother. In the past, Ah Ju taught him to call him Daddy, but the little guy didn’t learn it. This time, he probably likes eating mutton balls too much. When his younger brother tried it, he also said it, and it was true when he said it. Shouted "Daddy".

Ah Ju was so happy that she couldn't help but glanced out the window, hoping that her husband would come back soon, before the children fell asleep.

After the meal, the three generations sat together for a while, Ning was about to leave, and asked her granddaughter if she wanted to sleep with her.She is someone who has experienced it, and knows that Xiao Biesheng is newlywed, and her son has something to do tonight, so don't let the granddaughter see the couple arguing.

Ah Ju pretended not to hear what her mother-in-law said, and concentrated on teasing the two sons.

Cancan sat beside her mother and shook her head solemnly: "Dad will come back later, I want to sleep with him."

Ning still wanted to persuade her again, but Ah Ju said with a blushing face, "Mother, let Cancan stay here tonight, Cancan misses Daddy, and my husband must also miss Cancan."

"Okay, let Cancan sleep with Daddy at night." Ning gave her daughter-in-law a meaningful look, and left with a smile. There was no need for them to see her off.

Ah Ju looked at her daughter, thinking about what happened last night, and thought that she should go to sleep peacefully tonight.

There was a sound of clappers outside, and brother Ping and brother An yawned, and they crawled into mother's arms together for milk.The two brothers were about the same as their sister when they were one year old. They both ate during the day and had another meal before going to bed.

Ah Ju was a little disappointed, but decided to coax the two little ones to sleep first.

When laying out the quilt, Ah Ju still put her daughter's quilt on the kang, followed by the two little guys', and finally her and Zhao Chen's.When Cancan sees it, she wants to move hers between her parents, "I want to sleep next to my father!"

The little girl looked stubborn and serious, Ah Ju gave up on reasoning with her daughter, leaned against the pillow and hugged the two sons on her lap, feeding one while watching her daughter pull the quilt to work helplessly.After finishing her work, Cancan sat across from her mother, looked at her two younger brothers one by one, then raised her head and asked her mother: "Why hasn't Daddy come back yet, my younger brother is about to fall asleep."

Just as Ah Ju was about to speak, the door curtain moved, before she could hide from Zhao Chen, she walked in, wearing a general's armor.Cancan was startled, and couldn't help throwing herself into her mother's arms, but brother Ping and brother An turned to look at the door together, the sleepiness in their big eyes disappeared.

In such a posture, Ah Ju was extremely embarrassed, holding her son with both hands and unable to move away, but luckily her daughter blocked her in front of her.She blushed and complained to her husband: "Why didn't someone tell you when you came back? You broke in suddenly, and you scared Cancan."

Zhao Chen didn't expect to see such a situation when he came in. After looking at the three children, he quickly took off his armor, stared at his daughter and explained: "I'm afraid that Cancan may fall asleep, so I hurried in as soon as I got off the horse. Does Chan still recognize Daddy?" Throwing the armor on the ground casually, Zhao Chen stood in front of the kang, looking at his daughter expectantly.

Cancan actually doesn't remember much, she looked at her father, raised her head and asked her mother, her voice was very low: "Mom, is he really father?"

Aju wanted to cry a little, so she told her daughter with a smile while holding back her tears: "Of course it's daddy, Cancan's daddy is the most powerful, he drove away all the bad guys, and brought so many good things to Cancan, go and hug Cancan Daddy, Daddy misses you very much."

With her mother's guarantee, the little girl who was looking forward to her father's return believed it immediately, stood up suddenly, turned to look at her father, and hesitated.Zhao Chen was not in a hurry, he opened his arms and waited for his daughter to come over: "Cancan, let Daddy hug her and see if she has gained weight."

"Not getting fat..." Cancan walked over slowly, getting faster and faster, and finally threw herself into Dad's arms.

Zhao Chen hugged his daughter and turned around twice, then put her daughter on the edge of the kang, bowed his head and was about to kiss.

"Daddy stinks!" Cancan turned her head to hide, wanting to leave her father's embrace in disgust.

Ah Ju had already put her two sons on the kang, and while quickly fastening her clothes, she urged Zhao Chen with a smile: "Go take a bath first, Brother Ping and Brother An are not sleepy anymore, no matter how rare you are when you come back, there is still time." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to catch the daughter who rushed over as if fleeing for her life.

Zhao Chen looked at the two fat boys who were staring at him curiously, how could he be willing to leave?The daughter thinks the smell of alcohol on his body is bad, and the son is young and ignorant, Zhao Chen tentatively clapped his hands at the two brothers, "Brother Ping, Brother An, come here, Daddy will take you to ride a big horse."

The two younger brothers looked at each other, and then turned back to look at their sister sitting in their mother's arms, without moving. Brother An even covered his nose, and said "smelly" in a childish voice.

Zhao Chen froze, glaring at his wife who was gloating there, he had no choice but to go out first.

Walking outside, the wife and daughter laughed cheerfully, and soon the two brothers also laughed.

Zhao Chen looked back and couldn't help laughing.
