suspected wife

Unexpectedly, no one was found in the Yayi Workshop.

Both mother and daughter are absent.

In the midst of haste, the Xia family specially met him.Took his package and asked him a few words.

Xia Shi has heard her daughter mention this man countless times.My ears are almost calloused.

She didn't grit her teeth in resentment when Yue Zhongyao was mentioned like He Shi did.She is almost a grandmother.In her mind, the harmony of the family is the most important thing.

Of course, men also have to take responsibility, otherwise it would be better not to have one.

Xia family looked Yue Zhongyao up and down, and heard him say that the package was for Qiao Mingjin's mother and daughter, she nodded secretly in her heart.

After asking him a few words, he pointed out the direction for him.

Yue Zhongyao resigned from everyone in the workshop and went out to find his wife and daughter.

Although Yun Jin and He Shi still treat him neither salty nor cold, but he has not lost his manners.

Jinniang's natal cousin is naturally also his cousin.

Qiao Mingjin's mother and daughter were in the forest at this time.

It was the busy season of farming, and sister Xiu was busy with the work in her family's field.Yue Dalei only helped her when work was over, so she took the two children to the fields to help her.

Qiao Mingjin's chickens have always been taken by Yunjin to the woods in a bullock cart every morning, and Qiao Mingjin or sister Xiu will go to add water and food in the middle.

When the field is not busy, it is mostly sister Xiu's job to add water and food.Adding water to Qiao's chicken is just a matter of convenience.

When the work was over at sunset, Yun Jin and Yue Dalei went to the woods again to introduce the chickens into the cages, and then put the cages and the chickens on the bullock cart and brought them back to Qiao's house.

Due to the busy farming in the past few days, Qiao Mingjin bought sister Xiu's chickens as well as her own chickens.

There is no need to add food.The woods are full of worms to feed them.Just check occasionally to see if you need to add water or something else is biting the chicken.

Qiao Mingjin hadn't been to this forest for many days.

The wooden stakes in the forest are almost gone.Even the wooden stakes that have been felled over the years have been erected.

Maybe it's busy farming or maybe it's a wooden pile that can't be erected anymore, and there are few people in the forest.

The woods didn't look like they were being dug everywhere.With Qiao Mingjin's order, if you don't fill in the hole and step on it, you won't send someone to watch the pile for valuation.And the village chief talked about his awareness of danger from time to time, and there were no potholes in the woods.Did not see any deep pit left.

But during the busy farming season, the woods were turned over again.

The dead leaves and rotten leaves were all shoveled with bamboo rakes and shovels, together with the fat mud underneath to make fertile land.

The forest is as clean as the backyard of a rich family.It can also make people feel confident and bold.

Before going into the woods, you have to beat the front with branches, fearing that there are snakes or insects hidden in front of you.Now I can see it clearly.

I still remember that when I first moved out with Wan'er, I was looking for food in the woods.Digging traps to catch pheasants, chopping firewood to catch hares are still vivid in my memory like yesterday.

Now the ground seems to have been covered with a layer of skin. Where can we still find the footprints of wild animals?Not even wild animal droppings could be seen.

Qiao Mingjin added water to her own chicken trough and that of sister Xiu's, and then looked around.

Then he led Wan'er to find the small river behind the forest.

The river is still there and the water is still clear.The cattails in the river are also growing densely, and they will be picked again soon.

Because she did a good job keeping secrets.Up to now, the villagers in Xiahe Village still don't know that the cattail grass is edible.

In addition to the dense cattail grass, there are other weeds occasionally in the small river, and the water plants at the other end of the river are still abundant.

Just no more mallards.

The cattail grass can still cover one or two, but how can the wild ducks in the wild grass be able to cover it?

As early as the whole people went into the forest to catch pheasants and hares, and cleverly imitated Qiao Mingjin's "flying across the pole", how could there be any wild ducks who dared to live in this water area?

Qiao Mingjin took two steps along the river.Looking at the other side, he smiled.

The pain of the past has all disappeared with the breeze.

The days go by.No trace of the past can be found.

one Year.

I don't know if they are good...

Wan'er had been quietly led by Qiao Mingjin, walking around in the woods, when she saw Qiao Mingjin staring at the other side of the river in a daze.After waiting for a while, Qiao Mingjin became more and more straight like a statue, and even his eyes did not move when he looked closely.

Wan'er just looked up at the beginning, but now she gently tugged Qiao Mingjin's hand, but Qiao Mingjin still didn't respond.It was a little frightening.

Looking around, there was silence in the woods.She was so scared that she almost stuck to Qiao Mingjin's thigh.With a flat mouth and crying, he called out: "Mother..."

After calling twice, Qiao Mingjin came back to his senses.

Seeing that her daughter's eyelashes were filled with tears, she wiped them away distressedly: "What's wrong?"

He looked at his daughter up and down, then left and right, and saw that her daughter was opening her hands to her, and hurriedly leaned over and picked her up.

Seeing Wan'er tightly hugging her neck, he patted his daughter's back and said softly, "What's wrong with Wan'er? Mother is here."

"Mother, don't leave Wan'er. Don't want Wan'er."

Qiao Mingjin's heart ached for her daughter's crying and begging.

"Why would mother not want us Wan'er? Mother was thinking about something just now." She stroked her daughter's back and coaxed her for a long time before Wan'er calmed down.

The child has been insecure since he was a child.If he left her behind and stayed in the Yue family, he didn't know what would happen to the child in the future.

Qiao Mingjin sighed.I didn't go through the pain of childbirth, so I got such a little thing for nothing.But from the moment when she held onto her with her little hands and didn't let go, they have already been connected by flesh and blood.

Qiao Mingjin stared blankly at the other side of the river, but couldn't see anything.

Worth mentioning.I don't want to miss...

Qiao Mingjin turned her daughter's small body upside down, turned around and returned.

"Jinniang, Wan'er..."

There was a voice coming in high and low.

Qiao Mingjin stopped and listened carefully.

Wan'er heard it too. She straightened up and turned her head to look forward.

"Jin Niang, Wan'er..." The voice came again, clearer and clearer.

"Mother, mother. It's daddy, it's daddy!"

The little thing struggled to get off the ground.After a pause, he looked at Qiao Mingjin timidly.

Qiao Mingjin sighed and put her down.The little thing didn't run forward, but just waited there holding Qiao Mingjin's hand.

Seeing that the voice seemed to be turned elsewhere, she anxiously raised her head and glanced at Qiao Mingjin, then leaned forward and said loudly, "Daddy, Wan'er is here!"

There were hurried footsteps.

Accompanied by the sound of branches and leaves colliding.

"Jinniang, Wan'er!"

Yue Zhongyao had surprise on his face.Has strode to the front of the mother and daughter.

Wan'er had already thrown herself into his arms.Yue Zhongyao threw it high and high a few times.

This is the favorite game of father and daughter.

The little thing laughed loudly and rattled.

Yue Zhongyao held his daughter steady so that she could adjust her breath.Looking at his wife in front of him, he felt joy in his heart, raised the corners of his mouth and called softly, "Jin Niang."

Qiao Mingjin nodded to him.

"Just came back?"

"Well. I went to your home and workshop to look for you, but you were not there. It was said to be in the woods, so here I am."

Qiao Mingjin hummed.

Yue Zhongyao stared greedily at her for a while.He didn't care about her indifferent attitude.

Turning around, she asked Wan'er, "What are you doing with your mother in the woods?"

The little thing wrapped her father's neck with one hand, and gestured with the other: "My mother and I came to add water to the chickens. We also helped Aunt Xiu add water to the chickens. My mother and I also picked a few clumps of black fungus. I also came here with my mother to see wild ducks. But None of the wild ducks came."

Hearing his daughter's soft voice, Yue Zhongyao felt extremely satisfied.

He circled his daughter tightly, and said: "The wild ducks must be afraid to come. If Wan'er likes it, next time Dad will bring you a few ducklings for you to play with."

"Really? That little duck is fluffy all over and can peck people with its beak. It's so fun! The last time Stool secretly took two from his house to show me, the ducks were still waddling when they walked. It's fun!"

Wan'er spoke so bluntly that her eyes lit up.

Yue Zhongyao was delighted to see it, and was thinking about bringing some of them back for his daughter to play with next time, when he heard his daughter say: "I don't want it anymore. If I want to see it, I'll go to the Benzi's house to watch it. My mother and I don't have time to raise them."

Yue Zhongyao couldn't bear his daughter's disappointment, and was about to think of something to do, when he heard Wan'er say: "I just think it's fun, and if I want to watch it next time, I can just go to the Benzi's house to watch it. Father, don't buy it, it's hard to raise. I still have to hurry." They go for water."

Yue Zhongyao glanced at Qiao Mingjin.He caressed his daughter again and said, "Okay. Then we will raise Wan'er when we are free. This time dad brought Wan'er something else interesting."

"Really? Where?"

Qiao Mingjin watched the father and daughter talking happily, and took the lead on the way back and forth.

Yue Zhongyao hugged his daughter and followed closely.

Looking at his lovely wife at half an arm's length away.He opened his mouth several times, and slumped in his mouth several times, but he couldn't say a word of warmth.

The beautiful wife whom I miss day and night is right in front of me...

"Jin Niang, I have a few days of farm leave this time..."

Qiao Mingjin hummed lightly, but did not answer.

Yue Zhongyao didn't know how to answer the words for a moment, he just wanted to punch his head a few times.

"Daddy, can you stay at home for a few days this time?" Wan'er was very happy, blinking her eyes and looking forward to Yue Zhongyao.

Yue Zhongyao smiled and nodded to his daughter: "Well, can Dad stay with Wan'er for a few days?"

The little thing immediately clapped his hands happily.

"Mother, mother, how many days can father stay at home!"

"Well, mother heard."

"Mother, can I sleep with Daddy?"

Qiao Mingjin's footsteps were stagnant when he heard that, Yue Zhongyao was a little embarrassed when he heard it, and with some expectation, he stared at Qiao Mingjin's back who was half an arm's distance away, almost staring out of the hole.

Qiao Mingjin didn't answer, but walked forward with her head buried.

Wan'er asked again, but still did not get a response from Qiao Mingjin.The father and daughter were a little disappointed.

Yue Zhongyao patted his daughter's back, the little thing pursed his lips, and then lay on Yue Zhongyao's shoulder again.

"There are a few colleagues in the yamen who don't have much land at home. I asked them to help my father-in-law for a few days, and they agreed. The day after tomorrow..."

"No need, my parents have hired someone over there." Qiao Mingjin interrupted.

Yue Zhongyao was stunned.

Hire someone?

"Here, why spend this money? They are idle anyway."

"No need. Everything has been arranged."

Yue Zhongyao's heart dropped suddenly, and he just stared blankly at the back of Qiao Mingjin walking away... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
