Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

There is meat in today's dinner, and everyone has a lot of meat in their bowls.

The meat came from the horses killed by Cheng Wan, Gu Yan and Shaoqing.

When leaving the "battlefield" today, the three old ladies, Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Song, arranged for everyone to cut a lot of meat from the horse carcasses.

And it's all good meat.

Gu Yan did not refuse to eat meat because he had to observe filial piety. He was injured and his body was too weak and needed nutrients and energy in urgent need.

It is unwise to abstain from eating meat completely regardless of one's physical condition in order to observe filial piety.

Gu Yan himself didn't give up eating meat, let alone Shaoqing and Gu Yu.

Cheng Wan held the bowl, picked out a piece of meat about the size of a fingernail with chopsticks, and then handed the meat to Gu Yu's mouth.

"Sui Sui, open your mouth."

Gu Yu obediently opened his small mouth and took the meat on the chopsticks into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?"

Cheng Wan originally just asked casually, not expecting any reaction from Gu Yu.

After all, this wasn't calling his name.

The result was beyond Cheng Wan's expectation. Gu Yu looked at Cheng Wan and nodded lightly.

"Oh, my God, this child, this child is really going to be great!"

Mrs. Lin chewed the meat in her mouth and looked at Gu Yu with surprise in her eyes.

Cheng Erniu was immersed in cooking. When he heard Mrs. Lin's exclamation, he finally raised his head.

"What's wrong, mother?"

Xiao Lin, who was beside Cheng Erniu, touched Cheng Erniu's leg with his own leg excitedly.

"Dad, you didn't see that Wan just asked this kid if his meat was delicious. Guess what?"

Xiao Lin held the chopsticks in her hand and did not delay her from patting her thigh.

"This little kid actually nodded! I really saw it!"

Xiao Lin didn't know why, but he was very excited anyway.

So the voice is a bit loud.

Even Gu Yan, who was on the carriage not far away, heard it.

Because both Gu Yan and Shao Qing were injured, Doctor Wei said they should not eat too much horse meat.

So when Wang served the two of them rice, they mainly served soup and wild vegetables.

Gu Yan tore up the pancake and soaked it in a bowl. Hearing the movement outside, his eyes felt a little warm unconsciously.

Shaoqing, who was sitting in the front room, said with emotion: "Master, it's great to meet Miss Cheng and the others!"

Gu Yan nodded in agreement.

Very good indeed.

Early the next morning, everyone packed up and started on their way.

According to Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian's initial estimates, their party should arrive at Qinghua County at the end of noon or the beginning of Weishi.

But wasn’t it like meeting Gu Yan and the others?

It wasted a lot of time.

Cheng Wan estimated that it would be almost dark by the time they arrived at Qinghua County.

"Awan, have we already entered the territory of Liangzhou?"

Cheng Erniu drove the carriage and looked at Cheng Wan who was riding a horse beside him and asked.

Cheng Wan nodded, he had indeed entered Liangzhou.

She had just seen the boundary marker, but she couldn't read the words.

It was Xu Zhinian who sent Chunwen over to tell her that they had entered Qinghua County.

Cheng Wan felt that by the time we got to Shuoyang, literacy would have to be put on the agenda.

Being illiterate is really inconvenient.

There are also children at home.

Every one of them has to learn to read.

Those who can enter the school are sent to the school.

Those who can't go to school can learn by themselves at home.

Anyway, the family is not short of money now, and Cheng Wan feels that the children's literacy and education are no less important than finding a wife for his eldest brother.

Thinking of Cheng Daping, Cheng Wan suddenly realized something was wrong.

Her eldest brother has been extremely silent since noon yesterday, so quiet that it's a bit abnormal.

Cheng Wan sat on the horse and looked around, finally finding Cheng Daping leading two horses on the right side of a carriage.

Cheng Wan was multitasking, driving her horse forward to follow the team while observing Cheng Daping who was a little far away from her.

Then Cheng Wan discovered that her eldest brother would glance at the carriage on his left from time to time.

How would you describe that look?

There is confusion, sadness, and resignation.

Cheng Wan touched her nose with one hand. Is this because her eldest brother's eyes are too many and rich, or is it because her eyes are too good and there are too many dramas?

I can actually see so many things.

Gu Yu, who was in front of Cheng Wan, raised his head and glanced at Cheng Wan, as if his attention was attracted by Cheng Wan's sudden movement.

Cheng Wan smiled and touched Gu Yu's little head, "Sui Sui looks at me whenever I move. Does Sui Sui like me so much?"

Gu Yu's face was blank, as if he was thinking about what Cheng Wan said.

After a few breaths, Gu Yu nodded under Cheng Wan's surprised gaze.

If Cheng Wan could hear the words in people's hearts, she would hear it. At this time, Gu Yu said in a sweet voice in her heart: "I like you, I like you very much."

After Cheng Wan was astonished, the joy of being favored by the little baby came to her heart again. She looked into Gu Yu's eyes and said with a smile, "I like Sui Sui too, especially."

A faint smile appeared in Gu Yu's eyes. The little boy buried his head in Cheng Wan's arms and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

Cheng Wan felt the warmth in her arms and looked at the road ahead with a bright smile.

Suddenly, Cheng Wan's smile froze.

Suisui likes her, so he often sees her.

What about her eldest brother?

Sitting in that carriage were Xiaoyu, Huahua, Yuanyuan, Xu Zhishu and...Xu Zhinian.

Her eldest brother would look at the carriage from time to time. It couldn't be that he liked Xu Zhishu's kid, right?

Cheng Wan thought back to the various emotions she had just seen in Cheng Daping's eyes.

"So, eldest brother likes... Nian Nian?"

Cheng Wan asked this question in her heart. No one answered her, but she had an inexplicable intuition.

The answer to this question is yes.

Cheng Wan frowned and looked at Cheng Daping.

Even though she and her eldest brother are biological siblings, she has to say that her eldest brother and Nian Nian are not from the same world at all.

He comes from an extraordinary family. Not only did he enjoy fine clothing and food, but he also grew up pampered, well-informed, courteous, gentle, kind and beautiful.

An ordinary farmer has not had enough food and clothing since he was a child. The situation has only improved in recent days. He cannot read a single Chinese character and lacks formal etiquette. The only two things that can be used are that one is pretty good-looking, and the other is a calm and honest personality.

Cheng Wan felt from the bottom of her heart that these two people would be incompatible if put together.

In fact, to put it bluntly, if it were not for Cheng Wan as a connecting point, coupled with the background of the war, Cheng Daping and Xu Zhinian would not have any chance of knowing each other in their lives.

Cheng Wan sighed. Actually, after thinking about it for a moment, she could quite understand her elder brother.

Her eldest brother had already reached the age of getting married, and then, a girl who exceeded his expectations in every aspect appeared in front of him. The key was that it was not that they separated after meeting once, but that he would see her every day during this period.

Under such circumstances, it doesn't seem strange that her eldest brother is attracted to Xu Zhinian and falls in love with Xu Zhinian.

"Ugh."

Gu Yu opened his eyes and wanted to look up at Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan pressed his little body into her arms and patted the little baby's back, "It's okay."

"It's just that some people are destined to be sad..."
