Yu Zhi moved the small square table to the bed, and the two played backgammon on the bed.
In the first game, the boy lost; in the second game, the boy lost again; in the third game, the boy lost again.
The little boy was a little unhappy holding the chess piece, "Why do I always lose?"
"You are right to lose. How old are you? How old is your mother? I am your mother. I have lived so many years longer than you, and I have eaten so many years of food. Can you win me?" Yu Zhi put his face in one hand, carelessly.
The little boy thought about it, and it made sense, not because he was stupid, but because he was too young.
In an instant, there was no discomfort, "I can beat my mother when I grow up."
Yu Zhi glanced at him, and corrected him solemnly, "No, you won't be able to beat your mother when you grow up."
"Why?" The brat was dumbfounded.
"Were you happy when you lost just now? You must not be happy, right?"
The brat nodded.
"You are not happy when you lose, can mother be happy if you lose? You are mother's most filial and caring son, you are mother's big brother, do you hope mother is not happy?"
The little boy shook his head, "I don't want it, I want my mother to be happy, I want my mother to be happy."
Yu Zhi gave him an approving look, and continued to educate him about love, "Mother is an elder, it would be embarrassing if you lose. So, when you grow up, even if you can beat your mother, you still have to give in to her. Let mother win. Then mother will be happy."
The little brat blinked his big eyes, full of confusion. Yu Zhi looked at him with a smile, and didn't intend to continue explaining.
Suddenly, the little boy's eyes lit up, and he shouted happily: "Mom, I understand—"
Yu Zhi was about to praise him, so he heard him say: "Cheating! Mom means cheating, right?"
Yu Zhi's smile froze on his face, "Xiao'er, which sentence did you mention the word cheating?" Even if it meant that, how could you just yell it out? Doing filial piety, making your mother happy, can it be called cheating?
"No." The boy was very sincere.
Meeting his clear eyes, Yu Zhi felt a little guilty, and waved his hands, "Forget it, this question is too profound for you to understand at your current age. You will understand when you grow up. Get hungry and have some snacks!"
Actually, she was afraid that if she kept fooling around, she would bury herself in the pit again.
Although the little boy is smart, he is still young and easy to coax, so he was distracted by his unscrupulous old mother, "Yes, I want to eat egg yolk cakes. If I am thirsty, I still need to drink water."
Yu Zhi was serving the little cub to eat and drink, when she heard rustling noises from outside, she thought there was a snake, but she went out to have a look, and it was Xiaolu who came back.
Yu Zhi was stunned, only to see that the long vines were covered with flowers, and they were planting flowers on the tree house one by one.
This is because the tree house is too simple, how about decorating it?
Seeing Yu Zhi coming out, the vine whized towards her, with the two small leaves at the top trembling, expressing her grievances to Yu Zhi.
What, you want to spend too? Yu Zhi looked at the flowers of various colors hanging on the vines again, and was a little speechless.
She really didn't know that Xiaolu had such a hobby! But, where do you want to wear it? You can shrink and deform, but Huahua can't!
Two small leaves rub against the remaining branches, what, carve one for you with jade?
Jade—that thing, it probably doesn’t like the inferior ones. Well, she doesn't even have one herself.
"Don't even think about jade. I am poor as your master. I am so poor now that I can't afford such a luxurious hobby like you. How about carving a flower for you with wood?"
Xiaoye trembled again, seemingly dissatisfied.
Yu Zhi remained expressionless, "At most, I can paint you with the color you like, green, everyone has a love for beauty, and I won't stop you if you have your own preferences, but you are now a mature plant." It’s time for me to be self-reliant and support myself.”
Xiaoye asked about it, and Yu Zhi was satisfied, "Very good, we have reached an agreement, and you can support yourself in the future. I still have to raise the cub, which is very hard."
After speaking, she went back to the tree house, leaving Xiaolu alone to work outside. You can support yourself, so what's the point of doing some work! right?
The little boy had a face full of scum, Yu Zhi wiped it clean with a handkerchief, the little boy raised his face, "Mother, don't worry, the boy will grow up soon, and I will take care of you when I grow up." .”
Did you hear what she said? Yu Zhi raised his eyebrows, "Mother, don't worry, there will be time for you to take care of your mother."
"I'm in a hurry, mother is working hard."
Tsk tsk, after all, it was raised by myself, it is caring.
Yu Zhi rubbed the boy's head, and decided to teach him something, "Let's go, mother will take you to play in the woods." By the way, identify various plants and exercise the ability to survive in the wild.
Don't be like Daddy, she is such a grown-up, and she has to be a weak woman to come into the mountains to catch him.
With Yu Zhi escorting him, the little boy had a great time in the forest. He is so smart, he has a photographic memory, Yu Zhi has taught him the plants, and when he meets him again, he can accurately tell the name, shape, growth habit, and whether it has poisonous or medicinal value.
Time always flies when we are having fun, the sun is about to go down, the tired birds have all returned to the forest, and Yu Zhi and Xiao Zizi should go back too.
When he was leaving, the little boy was reluctant to part with him. Seeing him turning his head and looking back frequently, Yu Zhi coaxed him, "After I go back, I will learn martial arts from my mother. When you learn martial arts well, you don't need mother to take you with you, and you can go into the mountains by yourself."
"Okay!" The boy answered loudly.
At this moment, Yu Zhi still didn't know that Third Master Wen, who had been forgotten by her, was standing outside her house waiting for her.
Wen Jiuxiao was supposed to go directly to the northwest to declare the decree. For this trip to the northwest, the emperor allocated him an army of 500 people.
Of course, on the surface Wen Jiuxiao left Beijing alone, and this army only showed up after leaving Beijing.
Wen Jiuxiao was used to being cautious, so he asked them to continue sneaking and meet again at Ancheng Station.
The army was stationed at the station, and Wen Jiuxiao entered the city alone under the pretext of visiting the prefect of Ancheng. After entering the city, he didn't go to the magistrate's yamen, but came to Pomegranate Lane.
Going to the northwest, although it is a decree, but Wen Jiuxiao knows that there are many dangers. But as a citizen of Daqing and an official appointed by the court, he had no choice but to go.
When a man stands in the world, his mind should be as open and clear as a cloud. How can he not move forward when things happen?
Deep down in his heart, Wen Jiuxiao felt that his official position was still low, and he was seeking wealth and wealth. If the trip to the northwest went smoothly, his official position would probably be promoted, and if he could earn a title most likely, he could give it to them Mother and child are better sheltered.
Wen Jiuxiao wanted to take a peek at Yu Zhi and Xiao Zaizi before going to the northwest, if something happened to him, he wouldn't be too regretful.
At this moment, Wen Jiuxiao is very glad that he didn't bring the mother and son back to Beijing. If he really can't come back, the mother and son's life in Ancheng will be better than in the capital. . He also planned to leave Qingfeng to their mother and son, as well as his private property, Qingfeng knew about it.
Unexpectedly, General Tie was guarding the door, and there was no one at home. The neighbor told him enthusiastically, "Dong Yu's family has gone out with Zhou Zhou."
Wen Jiuxiao did not wait for Yu Zhi, but instead waited for Qingfeng first.
