Only God is left

love everyone who loves you

you are theirs and they are yours

live well let life be like a tree

——"Goodbye Zhang Ju (1970-1995)"

===================

The husband and wife greeted each other and sent them to the bridal chamber. As soon as the door was closed, Princess Yan raised her hijab with embarrassment: "Well, how can I tell you..."

The lieutenant-in-law smiled and said, "Then let's not talk about it, let's go to bed first."

What I said before was all jokes, but the next day she deeply realized that there is really no better place for her than Gaofu. Not only does she not look like her in-laws, but she has earned a son for nothing—although the origin is a bit strange, she hugged him. The child looked left and right and then at the captain-in-law, raising his eyebrows: "This is... your son?"

The captain's son-in-law replied with certainty: "This is my son."

Forget it, he said yes.

Most of the captain's son-in-law was in the army for the first half of his life, and the mansion behind him was cleaner and less popular than his people, and there were always very few servants in the mansion; so now she has something to do again, and the next thing is to teach this man who seems to be drinking. How can a person who lives half his life without touching the ground like a fairy wind live in the mortal world.A woman in her thirties has more energy than a young man in her 20s. When the sky is dark, she has already washed and washed, and she rushes out of the house to inspect one by one. The captain-in-law never interferes with what she does. After taking care of it for less than half a year, he became angry.

Satisfied with her results, she made her next plan—"Let's have a baby."

The reaction of the captain's son-in-law should be regarded as shock: "With me?"

She calculated every stroke clearly: "If the child has your face and my brain, it is the best. If my face and your brain are also good, it is better to be like you, and it is good to be like me, no matter what. Nothing can go wrong—”

"Aren't you afraid...like me...?"

She snorted: "How can there be such a reason? Don't you say that all three generations of your family are like this? Maybe it will end with you, and it's good to be like you."

The process was bumpy, but this time the results were a boy and a girl, who were said to be beautiful within a hundred days, but neither of them had golden eyes.

Sure enough, it was all over him.

The good times didn't last long, and when the child was able to walk, he began to jump around like a grasshopper. She described it as "one win and one loss". The son looks like his father, and his temper is exactly the same as hers; the daughter looks like her, and has the same temper as hers. Quiet as dad.In addition, he is also the boss who is naturally restless, and the Prince Consort's Mansion, which has been silent for a long time, is suddenly bustling, and the courtyard is full of noise like singing opera all day long.Over time, all the servants in the Tianchang Mansion have become accustomed to this spectacle: Princess Yan chased the two boys all over the yard and fled like a rooster, and the captain-in-law sat on the porch with his little daughter in his arms, watching calmly with a smile on his face.

The captain-in-law has always been "reasonable", and every time she watched him squat down and "teach" the two children, the veins on her forehead twitched--the little thing who is three or four years old knows what is reasonable!As soon as the captain-in-law left, she immediately "additional lessons", such a two-pronged approach was surprisingly effective, and the two children behaved like human beings in front of them-of course, it was another matter when they were at home.

She has always been very strict with the two boys, and there is a strict order that no leftovers are allowed on the dinner table. One night, when she saw that there was a lot of stewed radish left, she put a few pieces into the bowls of the eldest and the second: " Don't be picky eaters, picky eaters won't grow up."

The boss was more honest, he frowned and gritted his teeth and swallowed it; the second child moved quickly, and when she turned around, he poked a piece of chopsticks down and threw it into his brother's bowl; his brother reacted very quickly, still chewing Something suddenly pulled the bowl aside; the piece of radish flew out like a fireball and hit the wall far away, and Chuying next to him screamed in fright.When she looked back, she was so angry that she stood up, rolled up her sleeves, smacked the back of her head twice, reached out and took half of the plate and poured it into Chu Jun's bowl, and the other half into Chu Jun's bowl: "Eat it all for me." It’s gone! If you can’t finish eating, don’t leave!”

The boss immediately protested: "What does this have to do with me!"

"Why doesn't it matter, why doesn't my brother put it in my sister's bowl?"

The boss twitched his eyebrows, reluctantly lowered his head, and said a concise sentence to the core: "Mother, this food can't be eaten without such a strong spread, right? We will serve you as a saucepan for your feelings."

I can't tell that this kid has a lot of evil intentions. Her little thoughts were revealed, and she was a little guilty, but she still kept her momentum: "I'm being kind and treating it like a donkey, why don't I just drag someone on the street and sell it forcibly?" ? If I force you to share, I love you!"

The second child obviously forgot about the pain at this moment, and as soon as he rolled his eyes, he came up to answer the question: "Mother, do you love our father?"

This reminded her, when she looked at the table, there was still some loofah left, and the vegetarian dishes were not greasy, so it would be good to eat more.So he turned around and was about to speak, but the captain-in-law, who had been watching with a smile and a smile, immediately ran away with his chopsticks: "I'm done eating, you eat slowly."

She was furious: Why is this person like this!Destroy her!

After the meal, he put the children on the bed, went to the yard and saw that the son-in-law Du Wei was sitting there lightly and smiled at her, then he got angry, sat aside and stared at him with a cattail fan in his hand: "You're not doing a good job for your son either."

"Isn't there you?" He said with a smile, poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it to her: "Have some tea?"

With a stern face, he picked it up and swallowed, a smile bloomed on his face immediately: "Well, sweet."

I closed my eyes and leaned back on the wicker chair, the breeze was blowing, and the cicadas were singing, and I suddenly felt that life was extremely beautiful.After thinking about it, it wasn't right, why did you buy her off with a cup of sweet tea?Thinking about it like this, he couldn't hold his face any longer, turned his head to look at the captain consort who was also smiling at him, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud and pushed him.

The night is not as hot as the day, and from time to time there is a cool breeze blowing through the hall, bringing the melon leaves on the pergola in the courtyard to rustle. She slowly shook her fan and looked at the starry sky and sighed: "Say, we really look like live."

"Isn't this a way of life?"

"That's not to say, life is a couple's business, we two are at most a companion," she shook her head: "You are my friend, the father of my child, but not my man." (Obviously a best friend , Second Miss)

Then she lay back and said, "I don't want you to be my man. Men will change when the relationship changes. I like us like this. I don't want any changes."

The son-in-law's house disciplined the two boys without mercy, while the youngest daughter held her like a pearl. When she was a little older, let her try out all the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then choose what she wanted to learn. The little girl was especially willing to learn temperament—but Ask her father to teach her—the daughter is always clingy to her father, and this is just right, her father will occupy her all day long; even if the two elder brothers are spoiled by her for a long time, they will not be happy: Our father just let you occupy her Oh, when will he take us out?——When the weather is good, the consort Duwei often takes two boys to the countryside to ride horses and shoot arrows. All the bows she brings out have been tested by her personally: those that she can’t pull will be confiscated.

The days have been passing slowly like this, and things will happen again when the child is older.One day, someone came to the door suddenly, and after listening to her again, she realized what she had seen her honest eldest son do: last time I packed up and threw out the things that were going to be thrown out, the boss quietly left a bunch of things that were probably new. I usually play with the children and come up with a lottery method. If you win three coins at a time, you can keep the money if you don’t. , and made persistent efforts to get a few other children who wanted to join the gang to gather money together to do it in Dali, but the family members of other children found out that they followed the trail and found them, and now they showed their face: the royal nephew took the lead in gathering people to gamble.

The eldest son stood there silently daring to say anything, and kept stealing glances at her face, and her mind was crackling: what will this kid grow into in the future!

She didn't know what to say about such a big matter, so she turned her face to look at the captain-in-law, who raised his head and calmly asked the child: "Is the money you collected still available?"

"...still..."

"That's good," the captain consort nodded, and then said: "If you don't make money after losing money, we won't give you money."

Her eldest son was taken aback, and she thought she hadn't heard clearly, so the captain-in-law asked again: "Did you hear clearly?"

The child nodded hurriedly, and the captain consort smiled: "Go if you hear clearly."

Hurrying to salute before she could react, she turned around and ran away, but when she was about to get angry, the prince consort laughed and said, "Let him go, this is not a crooked way."

Isn't this crooked?How about waiting for the day when he will set up a shop in front of the mansion and start yelling?

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, let them go."

Forget it, if he said no, then no.

She walked through all her youth with worried brows furrowed, and never lost her smile after middle age, and it was still there in her last months in this world.

"It's really like a dream." She said with a smile, "These ten years are the best years of my life."

"We meet next time," she said with a smile, "I will definitely find a good man to marry next time, so that I won't bump into you again."

The captain-in-law also smiled: "Of course."
