As soon as Huo Tianxiang opened the door, he saw Mrs. Chen sitting under the eaves, picking up soles. He frowned and said, "My dear, why are you slandering Na soles again? Don't hurt your eyes."

Mrs. Chen came forward and said, "Master, I'm used to wearing soles. I can do it without looking. Where have you been? What did you talk about?"

Huo Tianxiang relayed his conversation with Butcher Xu and Huo Yunchao to Chen, "My dear, do you think ten acres of wasteland is too much?"

"not much!"

Mrs. Chen made the final decision. She counted on her fingers and told Huo Tianxiang: "These ten acres of wasteland are exactly five acres for Ze'er and Hai'er. Hai'er doesn't want to study, so he will work in the fields even if he contributes more.

If Ze'er is lucky enough to get a good name and the land under his name can be exempted from taxes, then Hai'er will have benefited from his second brother and can no longer care about the extra effort.

If Ze'er stops studying without getting the honors, then Ze'er will have to give Haier's extra effort to him. In the future, when our family reclaims wasteland, we will follow this calculation. As much as possible, every bowl of water will be balanced. There should be no quarrels among brothers over the distribution of land. "

"Okay! My dear, I'll do as you say!" Huo Tianxiang agreed simply and without giving it a second thought.

Mrs. Chen was a little uncomfortable with it: "Master, don't you think about it anymore?"

Huo: "What's there to think about? You are Ze'er Hai'er's biological mother, how can you still harm their brothers? Besides, the distribution you mentioned is very reasonable. Whoever contributes more should get a share of the money. You can't do it in vain. Live. The brothers settle the accounts clearly, so as not to fuss over the three melons and two dates every day, wasting their efforts and hurting the brother's feelings. Chao'er is stubborn and loves to hold grudges. He doesn't like his brother who keeps making trouble.

They, he can really let go. "

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, thinking about her words: "Master, why do you involve Chao'er? Chao'er is the Xu family's son-in-law after all."

Huo Tianxiang was not joking: "My dear, I am really not talking nonsense. Chao'er really hates troublesome things. Once or twice is fine, but Zeer and Haier have made trouble too many times, and he will really give up his job." I don’t need to say more about how useful Chao’er’s head is, right? Chao’er is a person who does big things, and Zeer and Haier get along well with their elder brother, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.”

Mrs. Chen always had a strange feeling as she listened: "Master, why do I hear that there is something in your words? Did something happen that I don't know about? Or is someone irritating you?"

Huo Tianxiang was stunned for a few seconds: "No, no, no, no one is irritating me. Just now my in-laws told me about the surnames of Chao'er and Ning Niang's children, and I thought about how Chao'er grew up from a baby with a big butt to an adult. Damn it, Chao'er was too naughty and mischievous when he was a child, which caused you a lot of trouble. Fortunately, you have a good temper, otherwise I might not be able to find out in time if Chao'er was really in trouble."

Mrs. Chen gave him an angry look: "Are you praising me or scolding me? Am I the kind of vicious woman who abuses little babies?"

Huo Tianxiang laughed: "My dear, that's not what I meant. I am just glad that I married you. Chao'er brought a gift back from Fucheng. I originally wanted to give it to you in my own name. Now I want to I think I’d better tell the truth.”

Mrs. Chen lightly punched Huo Tianxiang and said angrily: "What gift did Chao'er bring back? How can you think so? Chao'er gave you a gift, you are such a good father.

Do you mean to put gold bricks on your face? "

Huo Tianxiang put his arms around Chen's shoulders and walked into the house with her: "Here, this silver hairpin and wooden comb are the gifts that Chao'er carefully selected and brought back to you."

Mrs. Chen thought she had heard and seen wrongly. She held up an exquisitely carved silver hairpin, her eyes turning red unconsciously: "Silver hairpin? Carved silver hairpin! Why did Chao'er spend so much money? Me, Chao'er, me , Chao'er is too filial."

Huo Tianxiang thought of Huo Yunchao who had been against the Chen mother and son in the past, and then thought of Huo Yunchao since his marriage. Comparing the two, he asked himself whether he liked the current Huo Yunchao better.

"My dear, Chao'er was young and ignorant. Only when he got married did he realize what he had to bear, and he gradually became sensible and filial. Men don't mature as early as women, and they have to go through many things before they realize what it takes to become a man. Responsibility must be assumed.”

Mrs. Chen was so excited that she could not speak coherently; "I, Chao'er, he, I, I will kill the chicken and make chicken soup and send it to Ning Niang!"

Huo Tianxiang said with a smile: "Our chickens can still be raised. Chao'er said that he bought ten chickens with others, and I think they are almost finished. We will kill the chickens and make chicken soup and send them over."

After Huo Tianxiang washed up and entered the house, he found Chen falling asleep holding the carved silver hairpin. He hugged Chen from behind, and his heart was filled with tenderness.

On the other side of the Xu family, Butcher Xu heard Xu Ning's cheerful laughter when he entered the house. He thought for a while before going to Huo Yunchao to talk about the surname Quan.

Huo Yunchao took the initiative to come over and said, "Dad Xu, please don't take it to heart when the old patriarch says the child's surname. I am the son-in-law of the Xu family, and the child of Ning Niang and I must be named Xu!"

Butcher Xu felt relieved

Smile: "Chao'er, this is what I was talking about with your dad just now. Your dad said that if he and I go beyond you and give your baby a surname, you will be so angry that you won't call him dad for half a year."

"Hehe," Huo Yunchao chuckled a few times and replied seriously: "Dad Xu, my father is right. The old patriarch has always wanted to make me regret marrying into the Xu family by revising the family tree. But I don't want to do that. , I don’t want to go against my true intentions. I still don’t feel that I did anything wrong. I got what I wanted after I recommended myself as a wife, so I have to pay the due price.”

Butcher Xu sighed and said, "If I were your father, I wouldn't be as free and easy as him."

Huo Yunchao told the truth: "Dad Xu, my father has three sons. Without my son who is the leader of the family, my father still has a second brother and a third brother. What I said is not acceptable, but this is the truth."

Butcher Xu was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared. He was so angry that he actually laughed out loud: "You are right, you are not wrong at all. Your father has three sons, and I only have half of your son."

Huo Yunzhao said righteously: "No, Father Xu, you have a whole son. I am the Xu family's son-in-law. My and Ning Niang's children will follow your surname Xu. From now on, the children will call you grandpa. Unless the imperial decree orders me to get rid of my son-in-law status. , otherwise I will not give in."

"Okay, I understand."

Tutu Xu repeatedly received support and encouragement from Huo Yunchao and his son, and finally let go of his worries and worries. He no longer worried that Huo Yunchao would abandon everything in the Xu family one day when he became prosperous.

After the discussion, Huo Yunchao tiptoed back to the house. As soon as he lay down, he heard Xu Ning ask: "Ms. sir, what did you talk about with dad for so long?"

Huo Yunchao

Say what you have to say directly, and then close your eyes and go to sleep: "About our children's right to bear the surname. I am the son-in-law of the Xu family, and your children and I must have your surname! No one can persuade us. !Daughter-in-law, sleep."

Listening to Huo Yunchao's steady and long breathing, Xu Ning didn't think about it for too long and fell asleep.
