Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1048 Leisure Time
What does a child this age know? But he's so clever and can even laugh. In his father's arms, he kicked his little feet at his grandmother and laughed.

Li was so delighted with him, saying that her grandson wanted her to hold him.

To prove her point, she gave examples of how Yuan Ge'er usually behaved when he saw her, and how he wasn't shy around her when she held him.

Flattery will get you everywhere, but this is her own mother. Nothing you say to her is more appropriate than praising her son.

Who says her own mother can't talk? She's always good at coaxing her son-in-law and solved the problem of the holiday gifts in one go. It was even the son-in-law who offered to help.

She's much smarter than the aloof Aunt Ma. She has a firm grasp on the personalities of both sons-in-law. No wonder the third son-in-law doesn't eat anything else, but he's completely swayed by her.

Thursday, Gu Erzhu still dragged Zhou Shun back to Yuyuan.

Since Zhou Banxia became more pregnant, there had never been a gathering of both families in the main courtyard like tonight, except when Dajiang was away on a long trip.

Upon learning that his youngest son was already at home, Gu Erzhu held onto Zhou Sishun tightly and did not forget to send his attendant to the Ma family to invite Ma Dazhuang and his wife.

Ma Dazhuang has not yet returned from Majia'ao. He said he would definitely be back in the next couple of days, but he hasn't come down the mountain by this time today, so he probably won't be coming back.

Ma Shan understood perfectly why her father had been reluctant to leave the mountain even after three days of returning home; their family still had plenty of tax-free land in the mountains.

These fields were reclaimed and left behind by the older generation. It was difficult to hire long-term laborers to work in the mountains, so the uncles and brothers in the clan always helped each other to work on them.

Now that my eldest brother has gone to work in the county government, and my second brother is in charge of the livestock trade in the village, only my third and fourth brothers can take turns going back to the mountain for a few days from time to time.

Her father was going back to check on how the crops were growing in the fields, and also to deliver some gifts to the uncles and cousins ​​in the clan who had helped with weeding and watering.

Even if they are uncles or cousins ​​from the same ancestor, they still have land passed down from their ancestors that is exempt from taxes and have to work on. It's not right to let them work for free.

Just yesterday, her father sent someone down the mountain to deliver a message to her mother, saying that they would stay for two more days and wait for her eldest brother to return to the mountain on his day off before coming back together.

It's probably because everyone's worried that this newly arrived county magistrate not only personally visited all the surrounding villages, but might also venture into the mountains one day.

If the county magistrate finds out that you've been hiding those fields in the mountains, who knows what might happen? But it's a rule passed down from the older generation, and it's really worrying.

Her mother had repeatedly instructed her to pretend she knew nothing about these things, and not to tell anyone, not even to her son-in-law.

If you ask her, given her father's current financial situation, there's really no need for him to hide those few acres of land and live in constant fear. Besides, even if she doesn't tell anyone, how many people can she really keep it from?

It's not that she's paranoid. Putting aside her child's father, even Liu Lang was staying at her parents' house before. She could hide it from her son-in-law, but could she really hide it from Liu Lang?

It would be better to ask Liu Lang to go to the county magistrate and be honest, go to the yamen to get the deed done, and pay the taxes that should be paid, so that he doesn't have to do all the work in the fields himself.

Unfortunately, not only did her mother forbid it, but her father also refused to let her get involved. He said that if she went to Sanya for a consultation, it would put Sanya and Liulang in an awkward position, so it was better to pretend that she didn't know.

Annoying as hell.

Hearing her father-in-law mention in front of everyone that he had sent Uncle Yu Cai to invite her parents, but her father wasn't home and her mother wouldn't come, Ma Shan felt ashamed and regretful. For a moment, she even wanted to tell the truth: whoever had bad intentions, her in-laws wouldn't, it was only her third uncle and aunt—they were all good people!
But Dad is right.

This isn't just a matter for the bride's family. It's all thanks to Liu Lang that her family wasn't punished. There's also the clan, and many other families living in the mountains. Everyone has a way out.

Hey~
do not care!
Gu Wenxuan had no idea that his sister-in-law had so many thoughts. When he saw that his elder brother had also arrived home, he quickly ordered the dishes to be served. Since they couldn't drink alcohol, they could use tea instead.

After dinner, we returned to the west courtyard. My son, who had been brought back to the west courtyard by the wet nurse before dark, was asleep again. His sleep schedule was exceptionally good.

He wasn't just confident; he was absolutely certain that his son had come to repay a debt of gratitude. What child was so well-behaved, sleeping when he was supposed to and never disturbing his parents' rest?

I fooled around all night.

While his wife was still asleep the next day, he got up neither early nor late, and went out for a horse ride as usual, full of energy, to practice his riding and archery skills according to the entrance examination requirements.

Back in the west courtyard, forgetting about holding grandchildren instead of sons, I took my son for a walk in the garden. Regardless of whether he understood or not, I introduced him to many flowers and plants, and then took him to pay his respects to his grandparents.

Then?

Why would he "send" his son to his grandparents? Why bring him back to the west courtyard? If they don't have much contact, no matter how clever and cute his son is, how can he win the favor of his grandparents and gain their excessive affection?

No wonder his wife is definitely a cut above him in terms of social skills. His parents dote on their grandson, and now his father hates sleeping in as soon as he sees his grandson.

Hehe, my little darling is up so early! Haha, no wonder he's my grandson, he knows to look for his grandpa so early...

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he dotes on his youngest grandson like the apple of his eye. He only holds back a bit when his eldest grandson is around, in order to treat both of them equally. Otherwise, he would hold his youngest grandson so tightly that he would never let go.

He wasn't bragging, but his son, in terms of looks alone, was far superior to his nephew. Not to mention how clever his son was; he was neither shy nor shy, and he even knew who his elders were.

His elder brother, sister-in-law, and nephew all adored his son and were eager to take him away, leaving him no chance to even hold his son a little longer.

As the old saying goes, one son is called to carry on the family line, but two sons are called to spread the family line.

Understand!
One is too few!
But let's wait a few years. Even if the family grows bigger, can it be bigger than my wife's body? At least wait until your nephew is four or five years old before we talk about it. Don't rush things now.

Unlike Gu Erlang, who was not satisfied with having two sons and wanted his wife to have more children, Gu Wenxuan was very content with having sons to carry on the family line. As for having more sons, it would be good to have more descendants.
Don't give me that!

He's already grateful to God for having one son, yet he expects his wife to have two children in three years? Are you kidding me?

Having many sons is certainly a good thing, but the wife should come first. If you ruin your wife's health in order to have more sons, what's the use of having so many sons?

They say that if two people are truly in love, they don't need to be together every day. That's just a way to fool people. How can you take it seriously? No matter how good your son is, he belongs to your daughter-in-law, your grandchildren, but only your Xiaxia.
Holding hands, we'll grow old together.

She would never abandon him.

"You're just being ridiculous!"
