C137 (1/2)
The days passed one by one. During this period of time, Tian Yuqiao didn't do anything big. He just trained with the pills and teased the two little things, money and gold. As for the boys, they practiced martial arts and boxing every day, day after day.
Other than sewing new cotton shoes for everyone, Mrs. Wang had almost nothing else to do every day, which made her uncomfortable. In the past, this period of time had been the hardest in the old residence. Because they had to prepare for the new year, there was a lot of work to be done at home. Half of it would be on Lady Wang.
When he thought about his happy life, he did needlework when there was nothing to do. He even ate to his heart's content. His children were all very knowledgeable about such things and lived in such a warm house. He could wear new cotton clothes …
Thinking of this, Wang Shi couldn't help but start to feel sad.
Tian Yuqiao noticed that Mrs Wang's state was a little off, so she asked, ”Mother, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bitter and vengeful?”
”Oh, Mother, I am thinking of the life we had together. Your father was fine when he was with you and your mother. Now that he's gone, our lives are even worse. Usually in the winter, mother would help you make cotton clothes and shoes for your fourth uncle and aunt. ”Occasionally, you would secretly save some cloth and cotton, hoping to get you and your sister a pair of warm cotton socks. If you find out, you'll get beaten …”
Tian Yuqiao quickly smiled and advised, ”Aiya, Mother, that is all in the past now. Don't keep recalling those unhappy things. ”The place where we live is airless now. Everyone has warm cotton-padded clothing and is still thinking about what we did in the past.”
”Ai, you're right, but Mother always feels that today's life is too blissful. I'm worried that it isn't true, that I might one day wake up and find out that this is just a dream. After waking up from a dream, we'll return to the days of the past …”
At this point, Lady Wang even wiped away her bitter tears. Tian Yu Qiao was speechless. She thought to herself that she was used to suffering. Once she was allowed to enjoy life, she would actually have such a surreal feeling.
Her heart ached for née Wang, but she didn't know how to persuade her. He could only tell her, ”Mother, this is all real. You have a big house now, and two obedient sons, Yuan Su and Yuan Tong. I still have my savior, Big Brother Wolf Child. This is all true, how could this be false? ”
Lady Wang then nodded with a smile. ”Right, in two days time it will be the 28th. There will usually be a market at this time of year in the prefectural village of Ningguo, and it is also the last market of the previous year. ”When the time comes, let's go to the market together and buy all the New Year's gifts. Then, we won't have to leave our homes anymore.”
The little guy who had just finished his training entered the house after washing his face. He immediately clapped his hands and said, ”Okay, okay. I can go to the market again. Hehe, I feel like I haven't been out for a long time.”
Tian Yuqiao pinched the little guy's nose and said with a doting expression, ”You talk too much. Didn't we hunt in the mountains a few days ago? How did you forget so quickly? ”
”Hehe, haven't we not gone out to join in on the fun together for a long time? Oh yeah, Sis, can we also buy some firecrackers for this New Year's Day? ” The little fellow looked at Tian Yuqiao with an eager expression.
At this moment, two more round heads appeared outside the door. However, they didn't come in. Instead, they stuck their heads out and looked at them with the same pitiful eyes.
Only the untimely sound of someone behind them broke the harmonious atmosphere.
