C5 (1/2)
On a July day, hot, wet bedding was inevitable.
A Jin was well-behaved. She took a fan and sat on the edge of the bed to let the heat dissipate.
”Mother, when will father come back?”
How could a peasant woman of a small mountain village like her know that he had asked her about national affairs with just a single sentence.
If the monarchs were incompetent in battle, the border wars could not be avoided frequently.
If her husband didn't come back, would she be able to raise the two children by herself?
It would not be a problem to eat light food, but she did not want the children to stay in this isolated mountain village for the rest of their lives.
”Jin, do you miss dad?”
”Yes, I do. With father here, no one would dare to bully us. ”
”Then, can we go to the border to look for daddy together?”
A Jin was so happy that he hugged Su Zhi. Actually, he had wanted to go find Nie Rufeng since a long time ago. The memory of his father's strong body didn't even dare to bully himself.
Although the family was always short of money, father was the head of hunting, he never starved, and would always bring snacks from the market to satisfy his and Little Dou Bao's craving.
”When we're done with the food, mother will make some dry rations and we'll eat on the road. Let's go look for Daddy together.”
Not without reason.
From what the Zhang clan said today, it could be seen that there were plenty of people in the village who didn't want her to live well.
With such a big commotion, no one tried to stop her, they all stretched out their necks, waiting for her to make a joke of herself.
Such a place wasn't worth it for her to continue staying in!
She was lost in her thoughts while in a trance as she coaxed the two children to sleep. In a daze, she once again dreamt that the plane had malfunctioned, then she screamed out in fear.
When she woke up, the sky was already bright. The bean bun beside her was still sleeping soundly, but A Jin had gone off somewhere.
Su Zhi got off the bed, pushed open the door, and saw a toddler using her tender shoulders to drag back a bundle of firewood that was half the height of a person.
”Jin, what are you doing?”
A Jin dragged a bundle of firewood back to the kitchen, so tired that she couldn't even stand up straight. A relieved smile appeared on his sweaty face. ”Mother, the firewood at home is gone. I went to chop some back.”
