Huo Tianxiang sent the old patriarch home and walked slowly, thinking about things while walking.

He opened the door and looked up to see Mrs. Chen coming forward with a lantern. He heard her say: "Master, why did you come back so late? Did you drink too much? You are getting older and your body is not as strong as yours." When you are young, you are tough, but you can’t show off your strength.”

Mrs. Chen rambled on, without giving Huo Tianxiang a chance to defend himself.

In the past, Huo Tianxiang had long been impatient and scolded Mr. Chen for caring too much about him.

But all he could think of was the embarrassment of Butcher Xu crying. As a man who had lost his beloved wife, Huo Tianxiang could understand Butcher Xu's sadness and sadness better than anyone else here.

He and Butcher Xu had the same experience - heartbroken over the death of his beloved wife.

The difference is that Xu Tuhu chose to raise Xu Ning alone; Huo Tianxiang chose to marry a new wife and come back to take care of the child.

Different choices create different life experiences.

Without saying a word, Huo Tianxiang took Mr. Chen, who was constantly scolding him, into his arms. He rubbed his head against Mr. Chen's neck and whispered, "My dear, I regret...I wasn't good enough to you."

Mrs. Chen froze, regretting it? What do you regret?

She mistakenly thought that Huo Tianxiang thought of her as his first wife, her body was as stiff as a stone, her heart was filled with unbreakable suffocation, and her face showed pain.

How can a living person compete with a dead person?

How could she, an old and lascivious step-brother, win over the first wife whom her husband could not forget?

Chen's heart felt cold and she pushed Huo Tianxiang: "Master, go take a shower before going to bed.

"

Huo Tianxiang didn't know Chen's psychological activities, so he responded, took a combat bath and entered the house, only to find that Chen's back was turned to him.

"Child's mother?"

Mrs. Chen kept her eyes open and remained silent. She was sulking to herself and didn't want to talk to the stinky man who had made her upset.

Huo Tianxiang called a few more times, but without waiting for Chen's response, he crept onto the bed, hugged Chen from behind, and kissed the back of her head: "My dear, I will treat you twice as well."

Chen asked angrily: "Master, why did you suddenly say that?"

Huo Tianxiang shouted in surprise: "My dear, are you awake?"

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes. Who was she losing sleep over?

"He has had a very hard time with his in-laws. He has always lived in the pain of losing his wife and has never come out."

Speaking of this, Huo Tianxiang sighed heavily and hugged Chen tighter: "I am very lucky and regretful. I should have been better to you."

The words were vague, but Chen understood. It turned out that she was just jealous of herself.

But she couldn't help but say: "Where's my sister? Don't you miss her?"

Huo Tianxiang replied without hesitation: "Yes. I will still miss her and think that I was too stupid to treat her well."

When Ms. Chen listened to Huo Tianxiang's true words, her heart began to feel sour again. She hated herself for being so cursed that she insisted on not opening and lifting certain pots.

Huo Tianxiang changed the topic: "But I have accepted that she has not been alive for many years, and this is all thanks to you. Yunze mother, thank you for your tolerance and understanding all the time. The more I think about the past, the more I feel that I owe you. You married Never give me

Enjoy a day of happiness..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Her efforts over the years were recognized by Huo Tianxiang.

Huo Tianxiang was heartbroken and expressed his feelings: "My dear, it's my fault. I'm petty and always worried that you, the stepmother, don't care enough about Chao'er. I was wrong. You have done your duty to Chao'er all these years. I shouldn't expect you to treat Chao'er better than your biological son. As a father, I can't hold a bowl of water in a bowl, which makes you and Ze'er Hai'er live in such a miserable life..."

As soon as the conversation started, Huo Tianxiang completely lost his scruples and revealed to Chen the regret he had hidden deep in his heart for many years, hoping that she could forgive him.

Chen's sobs became louder and louder. The recognition she thought she would never get suddenly fell on her, which made her both excited and absurd.

Huo finished his inner words and hugged Chen tightly, giving her time and himself time to sort out her emotions.

When the sobbing stopped, Mrs. Chen said in a tearful tone: "Master, you have to be better to us three in the future."

Huo Tianxiang breathed a sigh of relief quietly: "Okay, I promise you, I will be twice as kind to you three. I will compensate you for what I owe you three in the past years."

Chen received this promise, cried and laughed, and hugged Huo Tianxiang.

Butcher Xu's loss of control and crying not only affected Huo Yunchao and Xu Ning, but also Huo Tianxiang and Chen. In fact, the ones who suffered the biggest impact were Lin Xiaocao and Zheng Shaoxuan.

Especially Lin Xiaocao, who was about to have a new family, was both happy and worried, and could not sit still, "Ms. Xu, do you think that when Uncle Xu wakes up tomorrow, he won't remember what he said?

If so? "

Zheng Shaoxuan shook his head and laughed: "No, Uncle Xu's wine is good, and he won't keep his word."

"Yes, but what if Uncle Xu..."

Zheng Shao It's impossible for him to go back on his word. What's more, the old patriarch of the Huo family and Uncle Huo are witnesses."

He managed to dispel Lin Xiaocao's doubts with some persuasion. He couldn't persuade her anymore, so he had to find a way to divert Lin Xiaocao's attention: "Xiaocao, what did you say to Huo Di about using paper specifically for women and children?" look?"

When this matter was mentioned, Lin Xiaocao's attention immediately shifted: "I think Huo Di is right. If the paper is made soft enough, it can really be used to deal with dirty things."

Zheng Shaoxuan frowned and said as tactfully as possible: "But the old patriarch is right. Paper is a very precious thing for scholars. It is also called the four treasures of the study. If scholars all over the world know that the paper we produce is not only made of It’s used for writing, and it’s also used to deal with dirty things. This… it really has a bad reputation when word spreads about it.”

"Ms. sir, I think what you said makes sense, but Huo Di clearly added a major premise. What Huo Di said is when we produce enough paper. This 'enough' is the major premise. My husband, think about it, we go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots and sell them. When the bamboo shoots come out in large quantities, what will the price be?"

After listening to Lin Xiaocao's examples, Zheng Shaoxuan looked much better and said righteously: "Xiaocao

, regarding the use of paper, I am far less clear-minded than you. "

Lin Xiaocao smiled: "Mr. Ning, Ning Niang said that Huo Di once said a very interesting saying, 'Everyone has his or her own opinion when speaking.'" Mr. Ning, your opinion on the use of paper is based on your position as a scholar. And Me, I am an ordinary citizen, and what I care about is whether paper is practical and whether ordinary people can afford it."
