At dinner time, the family ate in the small flower hall.
In addition to Huo Xi's family of four, Xiao Yingying also eats with her nephew every day. Mrs. Yan likes this little granddaughter, and she must stare at her every day, so she also eats with Dafang.
In addition to this, there is Mu Jie. As long as he eats in the mansion, he must come to the big room to eat.
And when the child grows up, he likes to play the roles of elder brother and younger uncle.
At this time, sitting between Yingying and Xiao Yuer, from time to time, she picks up chopsticks dishes for her fragrant and soft younger sister, and turns her head to busy pick up chopsticks meat for her well-behaved and cute little nephew.
"Xiao Yuer, you have already eaten two meatballs, you can't eat any more."
Seeing his son yelling at the delicious meat, Huo Xi couldn't help but stop it.
Xiao Yuer just picked up a delicious meatball with a wooden fork, and opened his mouth wide to send it into his mouth, but his mother stopped him, and his hands stopped on the big eating plate.
The little expression is a little aggrieved.
Looked at Daddy.
Mu Yan felt that his son liked to eat meat, and it was a good thing that he could eat more, but he didn't dare to refute what Huo Xi said, so he glanced at his son, "Good boy, listen to your mother."
Xiao Yuer felt even more aggrieved, and looked at his grandmother and great-grandmother again.
The two old people who love their grandchildren are very distressed.
Originally, in a family like theirs, the children were brought up by the nanny to be six years old, and the nanny would chase after them to feed them when they were five or six years old. Such a small child, only two and a half years old, was asked by his unscrupulous mother to sit at the table and eat with adults.
This child is inflexible in his hands and feet, and eats slowly. He can't eat a few mouthfuls after a meal, so he is not allowed to eat!
"Hey, our little fisherman eats as much as he likes. It is a blessing to eat as much as possible! Our little fisherman is so good, we are not picky eaters at all, we eat whatever the adults put in, even meat is not allowed. Eat!"
Cheng felt sorry for his grandson, sat next to him, and quickly put a meatball for his grandson and put it on his plate.
The meatballs were round, glowing red, dripping with juice, and the aroma made Xiao Yuer salivate.
"Oh, look at the child greedy."
Ms. Yan Tai loves to eat with these little grandchildren. She is old and has a bad appetite. Since eating with these two little grandchildren, she can eat an extra bowl every day.
Xiao Yuer blinked his big eyes and looked at his mother, holding the fork in his hand, not daring to move.
Niang still has to listen to what she says. Otherwise, the consequences will be serious.
Seeing that the child was pitiful, Mu Yan squeezed Huo Xi's thigh hard. Huo Xi bared his teeth and stomped on him under the table as a gift.
Turning around, he smiled and coaxed his son: "Then you can only eat one. If you eat too much, you will accumulate food, and you won't be able to eat delicious food tomorrow. If you are in good health, you can eat delicious food every day. Isn't it better? "
Xiao Yuer smiled big at his mother and nodded fiercely: "Xiao Yuer only eats one."
Looking around, grandma eats little meat, so if she can’t give it to grandma, then give it to the little uncle: “This is for the little uncle.”
"Thank you, Xiao Yuer."
Mu Jie moved the bowl over and took the meatballs. Seeing that the little nephew picked up the meatballs and ate them deliciously, he picked them up and ate them too. He thought they were very delicious.
After eating, Xiao Yuer was dragged by his little aunt to see her younger brother, and digested food by the way.
After Mu Xin and Yu Wenying gave birth to Mu Ying, they also gave birth to a son, who is only a little over one year old now, and he just finished catching Zhou not long ago.
I can't walk or talk yet, but it's time for fun.
Xiao Yuer and her aunt go to see the youngest little uncle every day.
"Is Mu Wang still in the barracks?"
Mu Yan nodded, "I'm busy. I think he won't come back." Holding Huo Xi's hand, the young couple ate and chatted in the courtyard.
Huo Xi sighed: "Oh, I'm afraid this grandparent and grandson are not working hard."
Later, the Jun family wanted to help him find it in Yunnan, but they were all the daughters of the chieftain's family in Yunnan, and Mu Wang said he didn't like it.
The Jun family also wanted to call Mu Wang back to Yunnan, but Mu Wang was unwilling. From time to time, Jun would send people over to do his work, and he was so annoyed that he has gone to hide in the barracks now, not even returning home.
"Does he have a girl he likes?"
Mu Yan was taken aback, "Probably not. He has been following me all these years, and I haven't seen anyone he likes."
Although Mu Yan has his own selfishness towards this concubine brother, but after bringing him by his side these years, the two brothers become more and more like brothers.
"He said he didn't want to go back to Yunnan, so let him go. I'll ask him another day, he's too old."
The two of them didn't want the maid to follow, they walked in the garden of the mansion.
The cool evening wind in autumn blows on the face, which makes people not feel cool, but it is very comfortable.
Huo Xi squinted his eyes to feel it, and let him lead him away without looking at the road.
After a meeting, I asked him: "Is it going to be called for cochin again? I heard what Nian'er said two days ago."
"It's already October. I'm afraid it won't happen this year. I'm afraid there will be a war next year." Every time the Annan rebellion was suppressed, the main force was from the southwest.
But in the past two years, the surrounding area of Yunnan has been turbulent, and the Mu Mansion has struggled to deal with it.
"Are you worried about Yunnan?"
Mu Yan nodded, "If most of the troops are dispatched to suppress the Annan rebellion, the Yunnan Guard will be almost empty. If there is another chaos in Yunnan, I'm afraid we won't be able to return in time."
At that time, I am afraid that the entire Mu Mansion will not be able to bear the emperor's anger.
"The court will consider these things, and it's useless for you to worry." Far water can't relieve near fire.
"Yeah, I'm worried about what to do. I'll just accompany you in the capital to coax your son."
He stretched out his hand to touch Huo Xi's stomach, and whispered to Huo Xi: "When will you add a younger sister to Qi'er?"
Huo Xi patted his hand off, "Don't think about it. Xiao Yu'er is only old now. Wait for two years before thinking about it."
"Xin'er is three and a half years old."
"What three and a half years old! He is only two years and less than six months old." Huo Xibai glanced at him.
"Okay, you have the final say." A few years later, maybe a few years later, anyway, he and Xi'er are still young.
"Father, mother!" A small figure quickly ran towards them.
"Hey, run slower."
After watching the little uncle, and saying goodbye to his grandmother and great-grandmother, Xiao Yuer ran to find his parents, took them by the hand and went back to their yard.
Although Cheng loved him, he didn't send the child to raise him.
During the day, Huo Xi was cooking and dealing with the business of the shop. Cheng took Xiao Yuer and took a nap in Cheng's courtyard. At night, he went back to his parents' yard and slept with them.
"Mother, Chenchen can only whine, but can't speak. When will he speak?"
"Hmm...maybe he'll talk in a while."
"All right."
Holding the hands of his parents from left to right, he was pulled up and hung in the air by his parents from time to time, making him giggle happily.
"Mother, Chenchen caught a big white steamed bun when he was catching Zhou, what did I catch?"
"You grabbed a wooden sword carved by your grandfather himself."
"Wow! Then I will be like grandpa and be a general in the future!"
This ambition... Huo Xi glanced at Mu Yan, who raised an eyebrow at her.
Xiao Yu'er didn't know about his parents' eyebrow-eye lawsuit, so he jumped up and down, "Father and mother will mention Xiao Yuer... taller... hahaha..."
