Chapter 242 Don’t you want to eat with us?
"Come on, Daddy will play with you for a while and then go to the government office to report for duty." In order not to hinder her from getting up and washing, Yang Biao decided to take the two children out of the house.
He picked up Yuanzhen who was standing beside the bed, and walked out of the house while tiptoeing on the ball.
"Dad, Zhuo Qiu wants to play too." Seeing him tiptoeing out with the ball, Zhuo Qiu, who was waiting outside the house, hurried over.
His mother told him that he should not enter other people's bedrooms. Entering a room without permission is rude and uneducated. It is something only children without a father or mother would do.
"Okay," Yang Biao kicked the ball gently to him. Xia Weiwei taught the two brothers to abide by the rules. With the adults' continuous, patient and consistent education, the two brothers finally learned to respect other people's privacy and space at a young age.
"Come on, Yuanzhen, Zheqiu, let's go find Xingqiu and play with them." Qin Xiaoran had to go to the cloth shop, so he took the four little boys to Jinquan Road and asked Hongyan and the others to help take care of the children.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in a fulfilling and busy life.
"Mom, Zhuo Qiu, give me something to eat." Zhuo Qiu handed a big chicken leg to Xia Weiwei who was sitting in the carriage. Today, when they set out for Yangjia Village in the carriage, everyone stopped, built a stove and made a fire, preparing to cook today's dinner.
"Master, at today's driving speed, it will take about three days to get out of Guangshu Prefecture." They did not stop at noon and kept on traveling. Jiang Sheng took the official map, looked at the surrounding environment and reported to him.
"Okay," Yang Biao took the map from his hand, looked at the sky, and calculated in his mind where the next team's resting place should be.
Since I plan to go to Yangjia Village to report on my work in Beijing, I have to go through Guangshu Prefecture. If I want to go directly to the capital, I have to go through Hejian Prefecture.
"Master, I have escorted a caravan before. Bandits are rampant in Guangshu Prefecture. We need to be careful."
Lu Gang came over on horseback. Because of his meritorious service in guarding the border and killing the enemy, Yang Biao wrote a letter to the court to commend him for his merits. With the emperor's special permission, he was freed from slavery and now has a wife and children.
"Okay, pass the order down. Twelve people must be left on guard at night." There are women, children and young children here. He will feel at ease if more people patrol at night.
"Yes, master!" After receiving his order, Lu Gang rode on horseback to arrange personnel.
"Yang Biao, your face is dirty." Seeing the charcoal marks on his face, Qin Xiaoran held back her laughter and wiped them clean with a handkerchief.
"Oh," Hearing what she said, Yang Biao quickly put down the spatula and squatted down to make it easier for her to wipe.
"Grandpa, I went to the mountain to pick some mushrooms. We can make soup with them later. It's so delicious." When Tan Minzhi was a child, she often went to the mountains in her hometown to pick various mushrooms. She knew exactly which ones were edible and which ones were poisonous.
"Okay," Yang Biao looked over and found that she had picked a lot of chicken mushrooms, as well as a small amount of porcini and matsutake mushrooms.
"Grandpa, I'll go wash these mushrooms." Seeing him nod in agreement, Tan Minzhi went to the car and got a clean bamboo basket to put the washed mushrooms in later.
"In addition to making soup, you can also fry it." Yang Biao put half of the mushrooms into the soup, marinated the rest, and prepared to wrap it in batter and fry it.
"Dad, this soup is delicious. Qiangqiu likes it very much." While he was eating the food fed by Tan Minzhi, he did not forget to express his preference to his father.
"If you insist on eating it, then ask your mother to pick more mushrooms and daddy will make them next time." Yang Biao scooped a large bowl of mushroom soup and took the bowl of rice that Liao Panhua had prepared. He was going to feed Xia Weiwei.
"Mom, why doesn't Daddy eat with us?" Seeing Daddy walking away with the bowl, Yun Zhen asked her curiously.
"Your mother doesn't want to eat with us, so your father has to bring her food."
Although the mistress of the house has a small temper, she will not treat people like her harshly, nor has she thought about setting rules for herself. Qin Xiaoran thinks it is best to maintain the status quo.
"Oh, Brother Zhuoqiu, don't you want to eat with us?" Seeing that he had not finished his meal and put it on the small table, Yunzhen asked him hurriedly.
"No, brother has to pee." With the help of Shi Rui, Zhuo Qiu went to a nearby place to solve his urgent problem.
"Madam, come and try this mushroom soup," Yang Biao shouted before he even got into the car.
"Okay," Xia Weiwei heard his voice, put down the book in her hand, and walked out of the car.
"Madam, please sit in first, and I will be on later." There was a curtain covering the door of the car, so they could have some intimate actions in the future without any scruples.
"Okay," Xia Weiwei took the bowl of rice from his hand, turned around and sat back in the car.
"Madam, come and taste the soup," Yang Biao sat down opposite her and scooped a wooden spoonful of soup into her hand.
"This soup is so delicious!" Xia Weiwei took a sip. Maybe because she was hungry, she felt that the soup stewed in the wild was extremely delicious.
"Do you like it?" Seeing her nodding with a smile, Yang Biao continued to feed her.
"My husband, have you eaten?" There was only half of the mushroom soup left in the bowl, and she wanted to save it for Yang Biao.
"Madam, this soup was cooked by your husband himself," Yang Biao winked at her, then picked up a big mouthful of rice with chopsticks and fed her, implying that there was no way he had not eaten it before.
"Oh, my husband, you have worked hard!" After drinking the soup and eating the rice, and with his help to wipe the oil off the corners of her mouth, Xia Weiwei hugged his neck and kissed him.
"Mom, Dad," It was getting late and everyone went back to their carriages to rest. Zhuo Qiu pulled his brother and ran towards his parents, panting.
"Zhuo Qiu..." The two people who were kissing each other passionately heard the child's cry and quickly separated.
"Daddy, hold me!" Little Zhuoqiu was very sleepy and wanted Yang Biao to hold him while he slept.
"Zheqiu, come here. Mom will hold you to sleep." Yang Biao got out of the car and handed him to Xia Weiwei, then went to hold Zhuoqiu. The family of four got into the car to rest.
"Well," he was awakened by the sound of swords clashing in the middle of the night and hurried out to check.
"Master, a group of bandits has arrived. There aren't many of them, probably less than thirty." Seeing him coming out of the car, Lu Gang kicked a bandit away and ran to him to report.
"The fighting power of these bandits is not very high." Yang Biao kicked away the bandits who tried to rob the valuables in his car, and found that these people had no fighting skills, and the robbery depended entirely on cruelty and brute force.
"Jiang Sheng, gather all the carriages together first, and leave half of the people to guard the ladies and the others!" Seeing that he was planning to chase and kill them, Yang Biao told him not to go over, and that it was most important to send people to protect the safety of the women and children.
I had just entered the jurisdiction of Guangshu Prefecture when I was robbed by bandits. I don't know what the prefect did to let the bandits run rampant.
"Lu Gang, eradicate all evil!" Seeing that he only kicked a bandit and did not use other weapons to repel the bandits around him, Yang Biao gave him an order.
"Yes, master!" After receiving his order, Lu Gang killed the bandit on the ground with one knife.
"Daddy, Daddy, where are you? Yunzhen is scared!" In the silent night, in addition to the sound of fighting, Yunzhen's crying could be heard.
