From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 554
Later, she accidentally learned the truth and was sad for a long time, and she never cried or made trouble after this incident.But since then, her father will help her sew a hand warmer every year. The white fox fur is stuffed with soft new cotton, which is warm, light and beautiful on the hands.

Practice makes perfect, the more you do it, the more your father's craftsmanship gets better and better. Not only are the needles and threads hidden tightly, but the stitches are getting denser and denser.If you don't say that no one will believe that he sewed it after reading it, and no one will believe that General Mei, who is well-known for his military exploits, can do needlework, and he does it very well.

Her father loves her from the bottom of his heart and regards her as the apple of his eye. It can be said that being a father and a mother these years has been very hard.Therefore, she touched the hand warmer with mixed feelings for a while.

"Thank you dad, I like it very much, I will always wear it." I don't know when tears filled my eyes, and Mei Xin's voice was a little hoarse as her throat was choked.

Because Mei Xin has always been strong, she seldom cried after entering the barracks. Mei Zhannan panicked when she saw her red eyes, and blurted out inexplicably: "What's the matter, didn't you say you like it? Why did you cry when you liked it?" ?”

One sentence made Mei Xin couldn't bear it anymore, she burst into tears like rain, but she didn't cry out loud, she just kept crying silently.

Taking out his handkerchief to wipe her tears, Mei Zhannan said with great distress: "If you really want to be a mother, tears will come out as soon as you cry. Well, don't cry, don't be sad, I'm not happy and talk to dad Said, dad is in charge of you."

Shaking her head gently, Mei Xin stopped her tears, squeezed out a little smile and said, "No, I'm just too touched. Dad, you must live a good life, and you must live a long life."

She threw herself into her father's arms like when she was a child, and the tears in Mei Xin's eyes fell again.If she could wish that time would stop at this moment, then she and her father would never be separated again.

Knowing that her daughter was persecuted by the emperor and suffered a lot of grievances, and also knowing that the near-real dream made her terrified, Mei Zhannan patted her shoulder lightly and said, "Don't worry, dad will be fine, dad Still waiting to be a grandfather and a grandfather.”

After saying that, he picked up the handkerchief and wiped her tears, then helped her sit up straight and said: "People who come out of the palace can't believe it, father has already written a letter to your godmother, and asked her to leave for Beijing with your brother." You are going to give birth in the next year, and you can rest assured that you will take care of your father with her by your side."

She also knew that Mei Xin had a good relationship with her, and she also knew her daughter's preferences, otherwise she would have troubled the Duke of Lu's mansion.

There are a lot of things going on in Liangzhou, how can Yuan Muqiu go away, not to mention that they will go back after the year, and they don't feel at ease without her in the mansion to take care of her.Thinking of this, Mei Xin refused and said: "Mrs. Sun's family has all been sent to Liangzhou and she will take good care of me. Besides, Luo Qiu and the others are all there, and the second aunt and the fourth aunt are also there." The godmother is used in the mansion, so there is no need for her to travel all the way."

It's too much trouble for Yuan Muqiu to take his little daughter with him in the cold winter months and nine days and thousands of miles away.Moreover, the current situation in the capital is unstable and turbulent, and they don't know what the situation will be during the Chinese New Year, so there is no need to drag them into it.

Because she didn't like Nanny Song, Mei Zhannan didn't even like Nanny Sun. In addition, one of them was gifted by the emperor and the other was rewarded by the empress. The person who served her was close, which reassured him.Frowning slightly, he felt that something was wrong, he thought for a while and said earnestly: "Women's childbirth is a gate of hell, and you can tell by looking at your second sister. Besides, you are pregnant with twins and your first child, so you must pay attention to it. Ah Qiu Sulai loves you the most. If you don't let her come, maybe she will be angry. This matter is settled like this. When she comes, let her take care of the child's affairs. The child's skin is delicate and close-fitting clothes It's more particular, those who don't understand are easy to make mistakes, and it's the children who will suffer then. You too, there are many taboos in confinement, your mother..."

Unwilling to mention Shangguan Xinrou, he suddenly stopped talking.He pretended to cough and cleared his throat, and then he continued: "In short, it's for the sake of you and the child. It's an old saying that a woman's childbirth is like rebirth. You should take good care of it during the confinement period, and try to heal all the old wounds." All right."

I didn't understand these things at first, but I have been a father and a mother for more than ten years and I have often listened to Yuan Muqiu's narration, and I understood them even if I didn't understand them.

Knowing this, Mei Xin, who had been a confinement child in her previous life, nodded and then held Mei Zhannan's hand and said sincerely, "Father, you have worked hard! My eldest brother and I have grown up and will take good care of ourselves. In the future, you should worry less about us. Think about yourself more, especially about the sequel, you..."

Raising his hand to interrupt her, Mei Zhannan sighed deeply and said, "It's always worrying to raise a child at a hundred years old. Dad is enough to have you brothers and sisters in this life. I don't expect anything else. Didn't you say you were hungry? Let's eat, dad has something to tell you after dinner."

Reaching out his hand to signal Wei Dayong to come in, Mei Zhannan lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Mei Xin saw that he was very repulsed by the sequel, so she didn't want to mention a word and would not say anything more.Together with Wei Dayong, they helped him put on the cloak, and helped him to the dining table from left to right.

People with injuries ate lightly, and Mrs. Li stewed chicken soup with bamboo shoots for him.The chicken broth has the skin ripped off before it is simmered so that it is not greasy.But most of the people who have been on the battlefield and starved are not picky eaters. Mei Zhannan sat down and took a sip of water and said, "This cook is really good. She has both northern and southern dishes at her fingertips, and the taste is also very good."

Taking the spoon handed by Mei Xin, he drank two mouthfuls of the soup. It was delicious, sweet and delicious. Staring at the bamboo fungus in the stew pot, he suddenly thought of his mother who missed her in the family temple.

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of my daughter's absence to visit the family temple in the past two days, but unexpectedly, it snowed heavily last night, another major event happened, and my daughter is now back, so I can't go there.

Thinking of his mother’s favorite food, bamboo fungus, especially the chicken soup that he can drink two big bowls every time, he raised his eyes and glanced at his daughter before he could speak, and said: “Your grandmother loves this soup the most, if she is in… ..."

Wanting to see his daughter's reaction, he purposely stopped talking here.

The smile on her face froze for a moment, Mei Xin took a sip of the soup slowly, put down the spoon in her hand and said: "This soup nourishes yin, moisturizes dryness, cools and nourishes the body, it is suitable for grandma to drink, but the clan elder punished grandma to go to the family temple to think about her mistakes." , I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to send soup there. Wait until you come back, and when grandma comes back, my daughter will ask Sister-in-Law to make it for her every day, so that she can drink it until she doesn’t want to drink it.”

Foolishness, filial piety, and loyalty are deeply ingrained. It cannot be accomplished or changed in a day. She has to endure the subtle changes of her temperament.
