The temple fair on the first day of the first month was extremely important to people of Ling Xiao Inn. That year, Ershan caught the little thief at the temple party and became his wife. Last year, Ling Chaofeng made a connection with his son, allowing him to meet the Xiaowan.

This year, the whole family came again. Including the baby in the Xiaowan, there were two more people here, and it became more prosperous every year.

They went to the infirmary to thank the doctor, and while they were there, they took a look at Xiaowan's body and the child in her stomach. The doctor smiled and said, ”Everything is fine, it's good to walk around more.”

After thanking the doctor, he went to the city temple to burn incense to worship Buddha. When he came out for a stroll, he met the person selling candied fruits. It was unexpectedly the same young brother from the previous year.

After Xiaowan married into the tavern, Ling Chaofeng would give her pocket money from time to time. He would also take care of all the income outside the tavern, and Xiaowan almost had nothing to spend.

Now that the young lady was rich and imposing, she knew that Little Pei liked it so she had to fork out some silver to wrap all the candied fruits for her son.

However, the little brother said happily. The children were taking the New Year's money to the temple fair to get a few mouthfuls of delicious food. If they told the Xiaowan to buy them, then the other children would have all failed. In the new year, he did not want to earn any money, so he wanted to make the children happy and save some luck for himself.

Last year, when she came to buy it, little brother had also given the biggest string to Little Pei. He then silently wished for a good reward in his heart, bought a string for Little Pei, and left.

Time to eat, drink and play, passed by really quickly. The whole family went to Li Prefecture to visit the Lantern Festival, and this year was about to pass.

And after the Spring Festival, it would become more frequent for Ling Chaofeng to go out to do business. After all, the Emperor had requested for everyone to quickly create a strong water master who belonged to the Daqi.

Currently, countless skilled craftsmen gathered by the sea. They needed the best materials to build the strongest and largest warship, and a portion of the best materials would fall onto Ling Chaofeng's shoulders.

With regards to the things in the tavern, there were the Uncle Biao and the Aunt Zhang. Ling Chaofeng wasn't worried in the slightest, it was just that the Xiaowan's body made him uneasy. Every time he went out, he would remind his son repeatedly, especially when his son was so strong that when he was playing crazily, he would have nothing to worry about.

They were about to leave home again today. Little Pei lay on his father's back and went out the door together with him. Uncle Biao had already prepared a horse for him.

Xiaowan held her son's hand and watched as their husband jumped onto the horse. She warned him, ”If you encounter a blizzard, please don't rush there. Even if you are a day or two late, how much longer can you be on the road?”

”I know, you too. Don't go out on a snowy day.” Ling Chaofeng spoke a few more words of advice, then rode his horse and left.

After his father left, Little Pei immediately asked Xiaowan: ”Mother, in the next few days, can I not study and write?”

Xiaowan shook her head: ”It's only been a day, okay, or else mother will spoil you.”

Little Pei pouted his lips, the Xiaowan told him to enter the door and said: ”Let's work harder today and finish tomorrow's homework, tomorrow we will follow Da Qing to the pier to play.”

Once he met someone who was studying and writing, Little Pei would become an ordinary child. He would have to settle down and work hard, simply not willing to do it.

Even Xiaowan could not stand watching this anymore. She patted Little Pei's butt and said, ”Are you deliberately bullying your mother? If your father was here, would you dare to dawdle? A little spanking is easy. ”

Xiaowan still had a good temper as she said, ”It's okay, how can there be a child who doesn't like to play and loves to study.”

The Aunt Zhang laughed: ”It's great to have a child that is in love with his mother. At that time, Little Pei was also young, and you were not here either. As soon as Zhaofeng met with the matter of the child, he became anxious and this little thing would be beaten every few days. ”

Xiaowan rubbed her son's butt and said gently: ”Little Pei is not afraid.

At this time, Susu shouted downstairs, ”Evening, your mother's village is here.”

Xiaowan could not help but frown, and then slowly went downstairs, it was the uncle that she recognized but did not speak much, the man was tired of walking, he drank a big gulp of hot tea, after taking a breather he said: Xiaowan, your mother is gone, your father called me to come inform you, you should go or not, but I have to tell you.

Xiaowan once wanted his father to directly send someone who was half dead, naturally because she knew that Madam Xu would never wake up again in this lifetime. Her father was timid and afraid, and she did not force him. Now that he was truly gone, it was unknown whether it was a natural death or his father's impatience.

Naturally, the Xiaowan would not go home to attend the Madam Xu's funeral. She asked the uncle to bring ten taels of silver to his father, also wrapping two taels of silver and a large piece of beef with soy sauce for them to send away.

It was time for lunch, but Xiaowan had no appetite, after accompanying everyone for a while, she returned to her own room.

Not long after, Susu came over with a bowl of soup, and laughed: ”At least take a bite, if not Uncle Biao will be worried that you'll starve to death.”

Xiaowan laughed: ”Uncle Biao is always worried about me getting hungry.”

Susu replied: ”That's great, even my own father might not be as good.”

It was a joke, but to speak of it now, it was indeed inappropriate. Susu hurriedly said: ”Evening, don't misunderstand my meaning.”
