Chapter 95

It really snowed heavily in the middle of the night.

When Aji woke up, he heard the sound of the maids sweeping the snow outside. He listened with his ears and could hear the slight sound of snowflakes falling to the ground.

Taking advantage of the light outside, Aji looked at her daughter, and after looking for a while, she reached into her daughter's quilt and touched her hand, a little worried. She wanted to go home, but she was afraid that her daughter would be frozen.

"There is a set of extra cloak outside. If the snow doesn't stop after the meal, I will hold an umbrella for you mother and you will not be frozen." Zhao Chen hugged her from behind his wife, touched her big hand along her arm, and held his wife's daughter's hands in the palm of his hand. "It's warmer when it's snowing than when it's snowing, don't worry." She had been waiting for so long, how could he let her down?

The low voice, like the hand he was holding, let the warmth reach her heart.

Aji turned around and hugged in his arms, "How do you know what I'm thinking?" He didn't see her expression.

Zhao Chen gently kissed her head along her long hair, "You are just thinking about such a little thing in your heart. How stupid I am to guess?"

He was arrogant again. Aji snatched his chest and was grabbed by someone. She couldn't help but bow her head to kiss the back of his hand.

He must have kept her in his heart, so every time she had something to worry about, he could see it quickly.

In Xinlanyuan, Zhao Yunting said to his wife while dressing, "It's so much snow. You can talk to Chengyuan and his wife later. Go back another day. My in-laws will definitely not be willing to leave them going back in the snow."

This time, his son and daughter-in-law were going to stay in the Lin family for three nights. Ning knew that Zhao Yunting couldn't bear to leave his granddaughter, and she couldn't bear to leave him either, but...

"Look at them. Chengyuan wants to go today. There are not many roads anyway. Just walk slowly." Ning replied softly, with the tiredness of winter just rising in his voice. "If they come to say goodbye, you better not mention it, so Chengyuan will not like you again." It doesn't matter if the father and son don't deal with each other, but if they are unhappy about returning to their parents' home today, their daughter-in-law will feel uncomfortable.

Zhao Yunting snorted coldly.

The couple had just finished their meal and Zhao Chen came.

Zhao Yunting was delighted, and there was no strange thing on his face. He asked casually: "Can't you go through today?"

No matter how calm he pretended, Zhao Chen knew his little thoughts, and smiled at Ning, "Mom, it's snowing outside. Aji wants to bring Cancan to say goodbye to you. I didn't let her wait in the room. I come over and say to you, and then we go out directly from Wangzhuxuan to avoid the trouble of getting umbrellas and collecting umbrellas."

Of course, Ning had nothing to say, so he told his son a few words, such as drinking less and being filial to his father-in-law and mother-in-law when he went to the Lin family, so he asked him to go back. Zhao Chen did not hesitate and asked Mei to serve his mother well and leave with an umbrella.

Zhao Yunting was very unhappy, "It's not troublesome to rush through the snow, but it's troublesome to take an umbrella and walk a few steps. I think he's intentionally angering me!"

"What can you get if he is angry?" Recently, Zhao Yunting often complained about the young man holding his granddaughter twice. Ning Shi was a little annoyed and raised her chin outside the window, "Or why don't you go with me too. Don't you really like playing chess with Cancan's grandfather? You have to stay there for a few days, and you can still see Cancan every day."

It's full of irony.

When his wife glared at him, Zhao Yunting felt relieved all over. He immediately forgot the unhappiness just now. He leaned over and hugged the person and whispered: "I won't go anywhere, I'll be with you at home. It's more fun to play chess with you." No matter how good the granddaughter is, it's not as good as his wife.

Ning ignored his witty words, thought of his granddaughter's hat, and said regretfully: "I made a new hat for Cancan last night, and I just forgot to let Chengyuan take it."

It turned out that his wife couldn't bear to let her go, and Zhao Yunting laughed, "Is it enough to ask Mei to send her a trip?"

Ning pushed him away and said happily: "I'll send it myself, just look at Cancan again."

Zhao Yunting opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't mention the matter of going with him. He just watched his wife quickly pull out a red orchid-embroidered hat and hurriedly walked away. He could only stay in the front yard of Wangzhuxuan when he went there. Zhao Yunting didn't think his eldest son would specially carry his daughter with a good bag for him to take a look.

When Ning arrived at Wangzhuxuan, Aji had just put Cancan on the swaddling clothes. It was already wrapped, but the little girl sweared again, but she happened to show her grandmother.

Cancan, who had just finished swearing, was well-behaved and cute. Ning hugged and kissed him again and again, "Cancan forgot his grandmother when he saw her grandmother?"

Aji stood beside him and smiled, Zhao Chen joked, "Mom, come with us too."

Just after his son satirized Zhao Yunting's words, Ning glared at Zhao Chen and personally wrapped his cradle for his granddaughter.

When he went out, Aji held his daughter, and Zhao Chen held her shoulder with one hand and held an umbrella with the other, and walked steadily step by step.

Ning stood at the door of Wangzhuxuan, watching the goose-feather-like snowflakes falling on the green umbrella held by his son, and then looked at the young couple who seemed to be in the painting in the snow, standing for a long time.

My son suffered so much when he was a child, but now that he has a beautiful wife and daughter, she finally doesn’t have to feel so distressed.

On the carriage, thinking of the reluctance on her mother-in-law's face when she sent them off, Aji said to Zhao Chen: "How about we stay for two nights before we come back?"

"No need." Zhao Chen lifted the cloak on his daughter's head and pointed his daughter's white little face. "Mom can see Cancan almost every day, but my father-in-law and mother-in-law have seen it very little. This time, I must have been looking forward to your mother-in-law going home to live there. I only stay for two nights. My mother-in-law should blame me in private."

Aji lowered her head and smiled, "Isn't you willing to blame you? Are you the best at pleasing her?"

"Do you want to get the old account again?" Zhao Chen leaned over and sipped on her face.

As long as he can please her, he is willing to do anything.

The snow was rising, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. People on both sides of the street got up early and swept the snow in front of the door and closed the door. The carriage walked slowly, and the wheels crushed the thick snow, making a creaking sound, which was quite nice.

Aji wanted to see outside, but was afraid that the cold wind would blow in when he opened the curtain, so he held it back and said to Zhao Chen: "There are two plum trees in their yard, so it should be open, right?"

"I miss home so much?" Zhao Chen smiled and held her hand.

Aji leaned against his shoulder and smiled, how could he not think about it?

The carriage entered the alley where the Lin family was. From a distance, Lin Chongjiu shouted excitedly. Aji said again: "Little Jiujiu is still so angry when he is nine years old. You have to ask a gentleman to take good care of him."

Zhao Chen wrapped his daughter's cloak and said, "I didn't believe you before, but now I believe you. He is only nine years old. What's wrong with this?"

Aji curled her lips, too lazy to say more to him.

Zhao Chen quickly blocked her lips and asked for a favor. Then he got up and jumped out of the carriage, greeted her father-in-law and mother-in-law who had been waiting outside the door. He received New Year's greetings from Lin Zhu and his brother. After the greetings, he held up an umbrella to pick up his wife inside. Aji came out with his daughter. Liu hurried forward and said, "Give me Cancan first." Lin Xian held an umbrella for her next to her.

When Aji saw her, she smiled and handed her daughter over to her mother. In fact, when she was in Dengzhou, people in the village had no habit of holding umbrellas on heavy snow. At most, they wore a hat and bounced the snow on their bodies after entering the house. Now my mother is preparing umbrellas to pick up her granddaughter.

After standing firmly, Aji did not take her daughter back, and surrounded Liu's house with Lin Zhu.

Zhao Chen looked behind and suddenly felt a little reluctant. This is his father-in-law's house. He has to sleep in separate rooms with his wife. He can't hold his wife at night. He has to behave properly when he sees him during the day. It is indeed better to live in his own home.

Aji doesn’t think so. Her home is much more lively than Wangzhuxuan.

As soon as he entered the house, Lin Zhu couldn't wait to urge his mother: "Mom, please release Cancan quickly."

The kang in the house had been burning hot for a long time. After Liu put the tightly wrapped Cancan on the kang, Lin Zhulin Chongjiu came over, taking one side, waiting to see his niece. Aji stood behind Lin Zhu and looked at her, smiling in her eyes.

The cloak was taken away, revealing the little girl wearing a thick cotton coat inside. Cancan first saw his grandmother, blinked his big eyes, turned his head to look aside, and saw Lin Chongjiu who was about to touch her. Cancan raised his hand and put it to his mouth, then turned his head. Seeing Lin Zhu who was smiling, the little girl frowned obviously, and then finally saw the familiar mother. The frown immediately turned into a grin, put down her arms to grab the swaddle clothes, and kicked her calves.

Liu smiled so hard that he couldn't stop talking: "Cancan's cleverness must be with her father. You three sisters were not so smart when they were young. They started to recognize people in more than five months. No matter who was coaxing them in front of you, you were still happy."

Lin Zhu was dissatisfied and held her niece's little hand and shook it, "Look, she likes Cancan and I play with her very much, and she smiles at me."

"That's because your elder sister is standing behind you. If you don't believe Aji, go out first. Are you anxious to see Cancan?" Liu said to her niece.

Aji didn't go out, but just hid behind Liu. Cancan turned his head around on the kang but didn't see his mother. He opened his mouth and was about to cry. Lin Zhu believed it now and hurriedly pulled the elder sister over. Cancan was still dissatisfied, staring at his mother with tears in his big eyes. Aji smiled and took off her shoes and carried her daughter into her arms. Cancan immediately turned his head and crawled into her arms. After a while, he turned around and stared at the Liu and the other two.

The little girl was particularly popular. Lin Zhulin Chongjiu climbed onto the kang one after another and took turns to hug her. It didn't take long for Cancan to get along with his aunt and uncle, and he smiled happily while grabbing the novel toys from the renter.

The sun gradually rose. Liu came in from outside and asked Aji with a smile: "Do you want to eat the dishes made by your mother?" When the family moved in, his daughter and son-in-law had already bought the maid and cook. At first, Liu was not used to being served by someone and wanted to cook by himself, but Lin Zhu persuaded him. Now that the eldest daughter is back, she can't help but want to cook two dishes herself.

Of course, Aji wanted to not only want to eat, but also want to prepare with her mother. While going down the floor, she said, "I'll go with my mother."

Liu hurriedly held her down and prevented her from moving, "No need for you, you can watch Cancan in the room, just go by yourself." The eldest daughter's hands were delicate and tender, and she couldn't bear to let her get wet.

Aji looked at his daughter who was grinning in Lin Zhu's arms, held Liu's arm and said, "Cancan asked Azhu Xiaojiu to watch, mom, don't worry, go, I'll help mom."

Liu had no choice but to remind Lin Zhu to take good care of Cancan.

The snow had stopped outside, and the servants cleared out a path first, and Aji and his wife followed the path to the kitchen.

They had just entered, and Cancan shivered.

Lin Zhu had never done such a job, and she hugged her niece and didn't know what to do. Lu Yun came with Aji. Seeing that the second girl suddenly looked up with a bitter face, she immediately knew something was wrong. She quickly stepped forward and placed the eldest lady flat on the kang and touched her butt. Fortunately, her cotton pants were not wet, so she quickly took out the hot diapers on the kang. After finishing her work, she saw Lin Zhu still was stupid there. Lu Yun held back her laughing, "Miss Second Girl, go and change her clothes, come and play with the eldest lady later."

The warmth on the legs had turned into coldness. Lin Zhu finally came to his senses and pretended to be angry and patted his niece's little hand. He walked to the door with his skirt. He couldn't help but complain to the kitchen: "Sister, your daughter is shushing me, you can compensate me with a skirt!"

Not only did Aji hear the yard with two in total, but the father-in-law and son-in-law who were talking about this spring exam in the front hall could also hear it clearly.

Lin Xian was ashamed: "If this girl Azhu is half stable, I will be content with her elder sister!"

"Azhu is still young, and there are no outsiders at home, so there are not so many things to pay attention to." Zhao Chen had long been accustomed to the lively Lin family, but he was a little worried about his daughter, and said tentatively: "Listen to Azhu, Aju doesn't seem to be in the house. Should my father-in-law follow me and take a look?"

Lin Xian has taken care of three children, but he doesn’t know what Zhao Chenchu ​​is thinking about being a father, so he got up to lead the way.

When he arrived at the backyard, Zhao Chen saw two plum trees in the yard at a glance. The crystal white snow could not cover the redness of the plum blossoms, which was fresh and gratifying.

While his father-in-law was not paying attention, Zhao Chen secretly picked one. When he entered the house, he saw his daughter playing well on the kang. His diapers had been changed. Zhao Chen didn't bother him and took out the plum blossoms in his hand to tease his daughter: "Cancan, what is this?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Cancan shouted happily, turned his head, but didn't see his father, but first saw a red spot in front of him.

She looked at her with good eyes.

Zhao Chen smiled and sent the plum blossoms to his daughter.

Lin Xian coughed and reminded: "The plum blossoms are too cold, Cancan is still young, so it's better not to touch cold things."

Zhao Chen's ears turned red and he stood up embarrassedly. He didn't explain that he just wanted to tease his daughter with his arms raised and grabbed things.

"Why are you here?" Aji, who was not very relieved to come back to see the vegetables and took a look after them halfway through the washing of the vegetables, picked up the curtain and found that the father-in-law and son-in-law were standing in front of the edge of the kang, which was very surprised.

Lin Xian looked at his son-in-law and explained with a smile: "Your sister is fussy, Cheng Yuan is not very relieved, come and take a look."

Zhao Chen noticed his wife Honghong's fingers: "What have you done?"

Aji followed his gaze and looked at his hand. He knew what Zhao Chen was worried about, so he quickly explained: "Mom wants to make a few dishes for us to try. I haven't cooked for a long time. I have to help her. The kitchen is full of hot water, which is quite convenient."

In front of his father-in-law, Zhao Chen had no time to say anything, so he said to Lin Xian: "Father-in-law, let's go back."

Lin Xian nodded and walked out first.

The curtain fell, and Lin Chongjiu was the only child left in the room with his maid. Zhao Chen pulled his wife behind the door panel and touched her hands. He made sure that his hands were warm, so he completely let go of his heart and said in a low voice: "You just can't stay idle."

Aji lowered her head, pulled the jade pendant around his waist and said, her voice was almost unpleasant: "I don't like my cooking, don't eat it later."
