Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

When they mentioned the great changes that happened to their family later, the three of them were silent for a while.

Dong Jiafu spoke first and asked the original question: "It is the father who the mother pays attention to first. What aspects of the father attract the mother the most?"

"I really haven't thought about it before," Xu Yiwan thought for a moment, "I was just curious about him at first. Apart from often hearing my father praise him, I have never seen anyone like him. I couldn't bear it when I was curious. I quietly followed him, and after following him for a long time, I found that he was not only able to speak well, but also knew many things that I didn't know. He could also weave knickknacks such as grasshoppers and dragonflies, and repair tables, chairs and benches..."

"Anyway, he is different from the students of my father that I have met. Although he comes from a poor family, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he has never complained about his unfair fate."

When Dong Jiafu watched her say these words, her eyes glowed. It is probably this kind of sincere and strong emotion that can withstand the test of time that allows my mother to follow her father through ups and downs and still have no regrets. When it comes to her father, her affection remains the same as before.

"After listening to what my mother said, I envy the relationship between my mother and my father even more."

Xu Yiwan smiled and said softly: "There is nothing to envy in this."

"I also want to meet the person who makes me have the urge to get closer to him and never tire of being with him for a long time."

Xu Yiwan heard the implication of her words, "So Mr. Cheng is not that person?"

Dong Jiafu nodded obediently, with a little apology in her bright almond eyes.

Xu Yiwan sighed softly, "That's all, you can't force this kind of thing, it's up to you."

"Thank you, mother." Dong Jiafu smiled.

"If mother hadn't said anything today, I wouldn't have known that father would do this.

So many things. "Dong Jialin said, "When we were young, my father never made up grasshoppers for us to play with. "

Xu Yiwan turned around and said with a smile: "He did it for your eldest brother, and then he gradually became busy with official duties, so how could he still think of doing these things."

"It's not fair. Why is it only for the eldest brother and not me or Afu?" Dong Jialin pretended to be unhappy.

"You are already in your twenties, why are you still arguing with your elder brother like a child? Now that your elder brother has gone to such a far away place by himself, I don't know if he is living well there..." Ti When they arrived at Dong Jiabao, Xu Yiwan began to worry again.

"Mom, don't worry. My eldest brother is different from people like Mr. Cheng who only know how to study. He will definitely adapt to Suzhou very quickly." Dong Jialin comforted him. He missed his eldest brother very much in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Dong Jiafu then said: "Counting the days, eldest brother should have arrived. Mother, if you wait a little longer, you will receive eldest brother's letter in a few days."

With the comfort of the two, Xu Yiwan felt much better.

After a while, Dong Jingtang came back from outside and saw them all there, so he couldn't help but ask: "Is the married person gone?"

Xu Yiwan stood up habitually to welcome him to his seat, "I've been gone for more than half an hour, why did you come back so early today?"

"I'll come back when I have time. I have to go out again in the afternoon." Dong Jingtang glanced at Dong Jiafu and Dong Jialin, "How about that young man?"

Xu Yiwan replied: "Other than Mr. Cheng being a bit bored and not very talkative, he is still quite a nice person. However, I have no affinity with Afu, so let's forget about it and talk to Mr. Cheng about it."

Dong Jingtang didn't ask any questions after hearing this.

He nodded and said, "I understand, you don't have to worry about Master Cheng."

"Dad, Mom just told us a lot about your youth. It turns out that Dad can also make up grasshoppers. Neither Afu nor I have met, but Dad just came back, so he made one for us." Dong Jialin said.

Dong Jingtang was even more surprised to hear this than to learn that Dong Jiafu refused to start a family. He looked at Xu Yiwan in confusion, "You still told them these old things?"

"The children wanted to hear it, so I told them some things from when we first met."

Dong Jiafu explained: "It was my inquiring mother who made me aware of the precious relationship between you and your mother, as well as the difficulties of your youth."

"It's been decades, what's the point of it?" Dong Jingtang coughed and asked, "Does Afu also want the grasshopper made by dad?"

Dong Jiafu nodded repeatedly, "I want it."

"Okay," Dong Jingtang told Dong Jialin, "find some grass and I will weave it for you."

"Oh." Dong Jialin agreed readily.

"I'll go with my second brother." Dong Jiafu stood up.

Xu Yiwan frowned and advised: "It's hot outside, be careful in the sun. Your second brother has rough skin and thick flesh. Let him go on his own."

"It's okay, mother, it's healthier to get some sunshine." Dong Jiafu pulled Dong Jialin out, "Second brother, let's go quickly -"

Seeing the two of them going out happily, Xu Yiwan said lovingly: "After telling them some things about the past, I also figured it out. As long as Afu can always be so happy, let her make her own decisions in the future, otherwise I will force her to It’s useless for her to see anyone.”

Dong Jingtang smiled lightly, "You finally understand my daughter's thoughts. She didn't want to see her today, no matter what

Whether it is to start a family or someone else's family, she has no plans to be with anyone now. She agreed because she saw that you were anxious about her affairs. "

"This kid is smart. I'm asking you about the past just to tell you this."

Xu Yiwan sighed, "I do it for her own good. I want to find someone for her to trust her with for the rest of her life, but we can't stay with her for the rest of her life."

"Don't worry about it. My daughter knows it well. Even if we are gone, she still has her two brothers. What's more, Afu has medical skills and can write scripts. Even if she relies on herself, she will live a good life."

"Okay, I see."

Laughter came from outside the door, and Dong Jiafu and Dong Jialin came back happily with long grass.

Xu Yiwan noticed the thin sweat on Dong Jiafu's forehead and hurriedly waved, "It's too hot. Come here, take a rest and drink some water."

"I'm not tired, mother." Dong Jiafu returned to sit beside her.

Dong Jialin put a handful of grass on the table beside Dong Jingtang, "Dad, are these enough?"

"That's enough. If you want me to finish editing it all, I'm afraid I can just have dinner." Dong Jingtang joked.

Dong Jialin chuckled, "Dad, just make up a few, you don't have to finish them all."

Dong Jingtang picked out a piece of tough long grass and wrapped it around his finger. "I haven't knitted it for twenty years, and I don't know if I can do it again."

As he spoke, long grass flew between his fingers.

When Dong Jialin was stunned, a lifelike grasshopper appeared in front of him.

When he reached out to pick it up, the grasshopper turned around and was given to Dong Jiafu by Dong Jingtang.

Dong Jiafu picked up the tail of the grasshopper, took a closer look at it, and exclaimed: "My father is so amazing, he made it so delicately."

"No, unfamiliar.

"Dong Jingtang continued to make up the next one, "I didn't make up one for you when I was here, and it's a pity now that I think about it. At that time, I always felt that you were still young, but I didn’t expect that you would grow up in a blink of an eye, and you would no longer care about these gadgets. "

Dong Jingtang made another one and handed it to Dong Jialin, who was waiting eagerly.

Dong Jialin took it and said, "Why wouldn't you be surprised? Dad made this himself."

"I want it too. You have never made up for me since we got married." Xu Yiwan looked at Dong Jingtang beside her, and vaguely saw the aloof young man who suddenly broke into her life.

Dong Jingtang smiled, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't miss you."
