3338 Expectation
Feng Jiu glanced at Xuanyuan Mo Ze and thought that he was too hard on Hao’er. After all, Hao’er was just a child. But since he had already said that, she didn’t say anything and just smiled, moving Hao’er to sit on a chair next to her.
“Hao’er, sit here. Wait a moment, Mother will help you get some food.”
When Hao’er heard this, he smiled happily and said, “Mm hmm, Hao’er will also help Mother get some food.”
“What a good boy, Hao’er.” Feng Jiu stroked his soft little face, praising him.
Not far away, Elder Mei, who was bringing over the dishes, saw this scene and felt a pang of sadness in his heart. The little master grew up with the Ghost Doctor and Hell’s Lord, and they were like family to him. He wondered if Hao’er would be unwilling to get close to his biological parents if he met them in the future.
His master there had sent them a message, but he had no idea when they would come to visit.
As he recalled this, he set aside his thoughts, approached them with a smile, and announced, “Here come the dishes, hot and freshly cooked.” He placed the dishes he was carrying onto the table, and the other servants also brought dishes over. In a short time, the table in the courtyard was laid out with wine and dishes and everyone also took their places at the table.
I’d like to raise my cup in salute to you all.” Feng Jiu raised her wine cup, made a gesture to everyone, and drained it in one gulp.
Everyone stood up, raised their wine cups, and returned her toast. As they started drinking, everyone began to talk about what had happened over the previous five years…
At Feng Jiu’s table, there were fewer people. Hao’er was putting a piece of meat into Feng Jiu’s bowl, saying, “Mother, please eat.”
“What a good boy, Hao’er.” Feng Jiu smiled as she patted his head. She also took a piece of meat and gave it to him. “Hao’er, you need to eat more so that you can grow taller.”
“Mmhm,” Hao’er replied. After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, he glanced at Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Guan Xilin. After that, the little boy also picked up some food for them with his chopsticks.
“Father, please eat.”
“Uncle, meat.”
When Xuanyuan Mo Ze noticed him reaching over, he picked up his bowl to receive the food Little Hao’er had taken for him, then said, “Mm, sit down and eat!”
“Little Hao’er, you’re a lot more well-behaved than the brat at Uncle’s house.” Guan Xilin laughed as he picked up his bowl to accept Little Hao’er’s food, while also giving Hao’er a piece of chicken leg.
Little Hao’er blinked when he heard this, “Uncle has a brat at home?”
“Big Brother, I haven’t asked you yet, how many children do you have now?” Feng Jiu asked with a smile. He and Ye Jing had been married for a number of years; if they had one every year…
Guan Xilin could tell from Feng Jiu’s facial expression what she was thinking. He then coughed and answered with a laugh, “Look at how you’re asking. What do you mean by ‘how many children do you have now?’ Your sister-in-law and I only have one son now. He is four years old and very naughty.”
Feng Jiu couldn’t help but laugh at this. “Only one? I expected you to have two or three by now!”
“We want to have another one when this one gets a little older. Right now, we can’t handle more than one.” When Guan Xilin thought of his beloved wife and son at home, he smiled. His face lit up with happiness.
When Feng Jiu said she thought Guan Xilin would have two or three children, Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s eyes became more serious. He couldn’t help but think: Should he and Ah Jiu have two kids in three years after they get married? Or one every two years? Or should they just have one child and wait until the first one is older to have another?
Thinking about it, his attention was drawn to Feng Jiu’s smiling face. He wanted them to get married soon as well, and a gentle smile couldn’t help but appear in his eyes.
