Are You Willing to Give up Nuan Nuan?
New Year's Day.
Gu Ling and Su Liang paid New Year's greetings to the elderly at home and received red envelopes, but of course the one who received the most gifts was Gu Xiaonuan, the youngest daughter of the family.
Gu Xiaonuan was wearing a festive red dress today. The collar and sleeves were trimmed with snow-white silver fox fur, and she was so cute. From clothes to shoes and socks, Gu Ling made them for her personally.
After a while, people came to visit one after another to pay New Year greetings.
Gu Ling now has a lot of apprentices, the two biggest ones are Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu, and the others are still little Douding.
Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu made an appointment to come together, and they also prepared New Year's gifts for Gu Xiaonuan, both of which were valuable.
The New Year's gifts that Gu Ling prepared for his two apprentices, Ji Xiaoshu and Zheng'er, looked like two identical wooden boxes.
Zheng'er opened his box with a surprised look on his face, "Thank you, Master!" Inside was an airplane model that he had never seen before. It had smooth lines and was painted. It was very beautiful. Zheng'er likes small airplanes the most and has collected several of them, all given by Gu Ling.
Ji Xiaoshu watched speechlessly as his box was opened and there was still a box inside...
After opening four layers of boxes, Ji Xiaoshu was already drunk, "Master, don't tell me that the New Year's gift is this pile of boxes!"
"This is called a nesting box." Gu Ling pointed at the painted matryoshka doll on the window sill, which was also made by himself.
It wasn't until he opened the box on the fifth floor that Ji Xiaoshu finally saw something different: a black cloth belt with a small dark green pine tree embroidered on it.
"Master, what is this?" Ji Xiaoshu picked up the cloth belt and compared it. It seemed that it was worn on the wrist and had a knot.
Ji Yuebai coughed lightly, "Xiao Gu, why don't you give me a jade one? A wooden one will do."
"I guess it's a hidden weapon." Zheng'er came over.
The next moment, a silver needle shot at Ji Yuebai. He dodged hastily and fell to the ground. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stood up. When he looked at the ordinary cloth belt, his eyes were completely different. , "Son, you want to murder your own father! Xiao Gu, can your brother and I have this good thing?"
The two children had already found where the trap was. Ji Xiaoshu chuckled, "Hidden weapons have to be like this. They look inconspicuous so that they can be unexpected! I like it, haha!"
Zheng'er was a little envious. When he turned his head, he saw Gu Ling taking out another cloth belt from his arms and handing it to him. Except for the pattern of a small sun, the rest was exactly the same as Ji Xiaoshu's.
"Thank you, Master!" Zheng'er immediately put it on his hand.
Ji Xiaoshu was now mentally unbalanced, "Master gave Senior Brother two gifts, but I only have one!"
"You have six." Gu Ling pointed to the pile of large and small wooden boxes.
Ji Xiaoshu: ...Master really took great pains to tease him!
Zheng'er smiled and said that the airplane model was playing with Ji Xiaoshu. The two of them originally shared the toys, because Ji Xiaoshu came late, and Zheng'er already had a lot when he came.
As for Ji Yuebai's request for a concealed weapon for self-defense, his son and his son's master ignored it.
Ji Yuebai took Ji Xiaoshu with him when he came, but he was the only one left when he left.
Ji Xiaoshu waved his hand coolly, "Dad, please go back quickly! I have already spent the New Year with you! Now you are busy with your business, and I am busy with mine! Master is going to make me run!"
Ji Yuebai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay. Daddy will come visit you another day and learn from your master and wife. Can you borrow your wristband from daddy for two days?"
Ji Xiaoshu shook his head, "Of course it won't work. Dad, your wrist is too thick to wear it. But it doesn't matter. I will learn how to make it from Master and make one for Dad!"
Ji Yuebai laughed loudly, "Okay, okay! Dad will be waiting for you!"
Zheng'er didn't stay. Most of Wan's family have moved to the capital. He has many relatives and has a lot of "entertainments" during the New Year. In the words of Mr. Wan, Zheng'er is the most promising person in their family now. It's okay for him to be away during the New Year.
It snowed again in the afternoon. Ji Xiaoshu coaxed Gu Xiaonuan to sleep, but he didn't want to sleep, so he snuggled next to Su Liang and sat by the window on the second floor of Yuanming Pavilion, admiring the snow scenery outside the window.
"Master's wife, is the world at peace now?" Ji Xiaoshu asked Su Liang.
Su Liang nodded, "That's right."
Ji Xiaoshu frowned, "My father said the same thing, but aren't there still bad guys who want to cause trouble?"
Su Liang smiled and said, "The world is so big and there are so many people. There are always evil people at any time." If the world is unified and there is no war, it is an era of peace.
Ji Xiaoshu sighed, "Master and Mistress, it's really difficult. Do the bad guys think that by harming you, they can conquer the world?"
Su Liang nodded, "You can say that, but what the leader of Xingluo Island wants is not this world, but something else." If Mo Yan is just as ambitious as He Wei, things will become simpler. a lot of.
At this moment, Gu Ling opened the door and came in, holding the dessert he had made for Su Liang and the children.
Gu Ling put down the tray, and Ji Xiaoshu went over and opened one of the tea cups. His eyes lit up. It was the red bean double skin milk that Gu Ling had made before.
"Elder brother, I'm not going to have a good meal today!" Ji Xiaoshu picked up the spoon and took a bite. It was sweet, smooth and tender, so delicious.
Su Liang tasted it and praised it, "Master, what you made is much better than last time."
"Master, after all the bad guys are eliminated, let's open a restaurant!" Ji Xiaoshu suggested, "Master will be in charge, and I will be responsible for collecting the money."
Gu Ling knocked on Ji Xiaoshu's forehead and said, "What a beautiful thought."
"That's right, there's a restaurant at the eldest brother's house, I can go and collect the money directly, haha!" Ji Xiaoshu said and laughed again.
Su Liang couldn't help laughing, Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu really looked like the two sons she and Gu Ling raised, one was well-behaved and sensible, the other was naughty and mischievous, both were smart and cute.
After eating dessert, Ji Xiaoshu was also sleepy, Su Liang asked him to sleep with Gu Xiaonuan, but Gu Ling disagreed and asked Ji Xiaoshu to go back to his room to sleep.
"No, I'll sleep here!" Ji Xiaoshu said as he took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, lying next to Gu Xiaonuan, pulling the quilt over him and closing his eyes, "Don't make noise, my sister and I are asleep."
Su Liang held Gu Ling's hand and chuckled, "Master, the child is still young, don't be so sensitive."
"He's not young anymore." Gu Ling snorted, "Ji Yuebai must have taught him how to kidnap Nuannuan."
Su Liang coughed lightly, "Where can he go? They are all ours. It's too early to think about these things now. What will happen in the future depends on who your precious daughter likes, and we don't have the final say."
Gu Ling sighed, "I know." This is also the reason why he didn't throw Ji Xiaoshu out.
After a while, Gu Ling suddenly frowned, glanced at Ji Xiaoshu and Gu Xiaonuan who were sleeping, and asked Su Liang, "What if Zheng'er and Xiaoshu both want to be with Nuannuan in the future, what should we do?"
Su Liang shook his head, "Master, you really shouldn't think too much. How old is the child? Maybe Nuannuan will like someone else in the future, not them. They are brother and sister first."
Gu Ling said faintly, "We used to be each other's best friends."
Su Liang nodded, "That's true. But for children, let it go naturally."
Gu Ling sighed, "I hope time will pass slower and Nuannuan won't grow up so fast."
...
That night, Zheng'er was not there, and Ji Xiaoshu wanted to sleep with Gu Ling and Su Liang, saying that he would be scared to sleep alone in a room.
"If Master doesn't want me to sleep with Master's wife and sister, that's fine. Master, go to my room to sleep with me, I don't mind!" Ji Xiaoshu's face was serious.
"Since you are not sleepy, go downstairs and build a snowman." Gu Ling said.
Ji Xiaoshu tilted his head and held his forehead, saying, "Master abuses his apprentice on New Year's Day. Does the master's wife care?"
"Stop it. Master, take Xiaoshu to take a bath." Su Liang stopped Gu Ling's childish competition with his apprentice.
Gu Ling picked up Ji Xiaoshu and walked out.
Ji Xiaoshu kept laughing, "Master didn't take me to take a bath before. Was he afraid that I would see you naked? My father said that men should be confident!"
Su Liang's mouth twitched slightly, and then he heard Gu Ling say, "Su Xiaoliang, can I throw your apprentice into the snow and bury him?"
Su Liang responded, "Yes, plant a small tree on New Year's Day, and wait until autumn, you can harvest a big tree."
Ji Xiaoshu "wailed", "Sister, help me!"
Gu Xiaonuan rolled on the bed with a smile, "Second brother is stupid!" This was definitely taught by Gu Ling.
Ji Xiaoshu heard it, "Master, you slandered me in front of my sister again!"
Gu Ling then asked Ji Xiaoshu a question, "Why does the sun rise in the east and set in the west?"
Ji Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, "Ah?"
"Stupid." Gu Ling summed it up in one word.
Ji Xiaoshu was speechless, "You make it sound like you know it, Master!"
"I know." Gu Ling said.
Su Liang heard the door next door open and close, and Gu Ling went downstairs to get hot water.
Ji Xiaoshu shouted in the room, "Master, come back soon and tell me why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west!"
"Brother?" Gu Xiaonuan threw herself into Su Liang's arms, tilted her little head, and asked Zheng'er.
Su Liang smiled, "Your brother is not here today." In Gu Xiaonuan's eyes, Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu are probably one and the same, and have never been separated.
After a while, Su Liang heard the master and apprentice next door "making trouble" again.
"Master, come in! It's warm!"
"Master, you are so shy that you dare not take off your clothes in front of me?"
"Shut up."
"There is no one here anyway."
"Shut up."
"The mouth is for talking."
"Um...Master's wife, help me..."
...
When Gu Ling brought the washed Ji Xiaoshu back to the room, Gu Xiaonuan was almost asleep.
"Master's wife!" Ji Xiaoshu was barefoot and was thrown on the bed by Gu Ling. She rolled over and lay down next to Su Liang. She raised her head and looked at Gu Xiaonuan who was at the innermost side over Su Liang. "Is my sister asleep?"
"Well, don't bother her, or I'll ask you to take her to sleep next door." Su Liang said.
"Master must hope that this way, he can occupy Master's wife, but I won't let him do it!" Ji Xiaoshu took Su Liang's arm and said with a smile, "I'm very good."
Leaving only one light on, Gu Ling put down the bed curtain, lay down on the outside, and reached out to pull Ji Xiaoshu to his side.
"Master, will you secretly throw me out in the middle of the night?" Ji Xiaoshu asked in a low voice.
Gu Ling answered, "Yes."
Ji Xiaoshu: ...
"Master's wife, Master is not allowed to throw me out." Ji Xiaoshu said and yawned.
"No, go to sleep." Su Liang covered Ji Xiaoshu with a blanket.
"Master's wife is the best." Ji Xiaoshu said, leaning his little head on Gu Ling's shoulder, closing his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
During the New Year, Gu Ling and Su Liang did not stay up late to read books or make medicine as before. The room was warm, and the two of them went to bed early with their children.
...
The second day of the New Year.
When Su Liang woke up, Ji Xiaoshu was still sleeping, and Gu Ling had already taken his daughter out for a walk and came back.
"Mom..." Ji Xiaoshu muttered, and leaned towards Su Liang again.
Su Liang slept with Ji Xiaoshu until he woke up naturally before getting up.
Su Liang has no natal family to return to, but Su Mansion is the natal family of Lonicera and Yuan Ying.
Lonicera is also pregnant now. She is staying at Zhongxinhou Mansion during the Chinese New Year. She came back early today with Qi Jun. When they arrived, Lin Ji and Yuan Ying also came.
Neither Liao Dong nor Yuan Ying showed their love yet, but Qi Jun and Lin Wei were extremely nervous, fearing that they would bump into each other.
The wilderness has also come naturally. He liked Su Mansion the most, but he also lived happily in Lin Mansion. As soon as he came back and saw Ji Xiaoshu, he picked him up and lifted him high, and then they went outside to play in the snow house.
"You go help Xiao Ye and Xiao Shu build snowmen." Su Liang said to Qi Jun and Lin Wei.
Qi Jun stood up and said, "Okay."
Lin Yan took Yuan Ying's hand and told her, "Don't eat cold food. Get up slowly."
"I know, I know." Yuan Ying waved her hand, "Go and build a beautiful snowman."
Finally, all the men went out, and Yuan Ying couldn't help but sigh, "Being pregnant is like going to jail. People are watching everything you do." But the smile on her face showed that even going to jail is sweet and happy.
Ling Dong said she felt the same, and sometimes she couldn't help but want to hit Qi Jun. Yuan Ying said she deeply felt the same.
"It's normal. The one in my family was about the same." Su Liang said with a smile.
Yuan Ying quickly asked about Xingluo Island, "We have an appointment on the first day of March, what should we do then? Let Xiao Gu take someone there?"
Su Liang shook his head, "This matter has not been decided yet. It would be best if we go together."
"The child stays in the capital?" Yuan Ying frowned. It's not that no one can help take care of Gu Xiaonuan, but for her to leave her parents at such a young age, even if Gu Xiaonuan can accept it, it's probably hard for Gu Ling and Su Liang to accept it.
"Let's talk about it then. We still have some time to plan." Su Liang sighed, "You don't have to worry about it. Just take good care of the baby and give birth to the baby safely."
Lonicera caressed her still flat belly, "If I had known, I would have gotten married later. Now is the time to employ people, but there is nothing I can do to help."
Su Liang shook his head, "What are you talking about? It's right to employ people, but there is only one enemy left on Xingluo Island, and our manpower is not that tight."
"When the time comes, you want to go south together. If you leave the child behind, you can send it to my house. My parents will be extremely happy," Yuan Ying said.
Su Liang nodded, "I know, but I'll discuss it with Gu Ling again."
Before lunch, there was a big and cute snowman next to the snow house.
In the afternoon, Qi Jun Rendong and Lin Xin Yuan Ying left, and Yuan Ye also followed Yuan Ying back to Lin's house.
The children were taking a nap, and Su Liang mentioned what she had talked to Yuan Ying about today.
"I'll go, you guys are at home." Gu Ling said.
"But the identity of Mo Yan's granddaughter is more or less useful. I think I should come forward. After all, I am the real time traveler." Su Liang thought thoughtfully.
"Are you willing to give up Nuannuan?" Gu Ling asked.
Su Liang asked, "Are you willing to give up Nuan Nuan?"
Gu Ling frowned, "Then we can't take her to dangerous places."
Su Liang sighed softly, "If it doesn't work out, just find a place to hide her."
