Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

After seeing off the guests, what Xu Huaiyi saw when he entered the room was that his daughter-in-law was holding the boy in her arms again. The scene was even more affectionate and touching than before.

The little wine he drank instantly woke him up, "What are you doing? Why do you cuddle so easily? Gu Xiaoyu, how old are you, and do you still understand the difference between men and women?"

Gu Xiaoyu raised his face, but his body was still lying in Gu Huanxi's arms. His eyes were still red, his voice was hoarse, but his tone was brisk, "This is my mother."

Therefore, there is no need to pay attention to the difference between men and women.

Xu Huaiyi choked and couldn't help but stepped forward to pull him. Gu Huanxi clapped his hand and warned him coldly, "How can you compete with a child?"

Xu Huaiyi complained plaintively, "He is already five years old."

"Didn't you say before that you don't have to sit down until you are seven years old?"

"..." Xu Huaiyi had no choice but to win over Gu Xiaoyu, "Boy, even if this is your mother, as a man, you can't get tired of being in your mother's arms. What's the use of that? There's a curse word. What do you mean, if you have better hands than a woman, do you want to become a waste in the future?"

Gu Xiaoyu wasn't angry either and just gave him a look of understanding.

Xu Huaiyi suddenly stiffened, and then he reacted, "What, my wife..."

Gu Huanxi asked with a sneer before he could defend himself, "If you're good at using women's hands, you can say curse words? Will you definitely become a loser? From now on, all your children will be brought up by you, okay?"

Xu Huaiyi immediately shook his head like a rattle, "I was wrong, daughter-in-law, I overgeneralized. It's wrong. It's because of outdated ideas. Who said women are inferior to men? There are many women who are more talented than men. For example, You, you are a hundred times better than me. The children you raise will all be promising, so I won’t hold you back, hehehe..."

Gu Huanxi snorted.

Xu Huaiyi hurriedly sat over and squeezed her shoulders. His flattering gesture reminded Gu Xiaoyu of some fawning ministers in the court who had no moral integrity at all.

At this time, Ah Li woke up, groaning and waving his arms.

Gu Xiaoyu grasped her little hand familiarly, and she suddenly became well-behaved. Her eyes were facing his direction, as clear and bright as glass, flashing with a joyful smile, and she was singing babblingly.

Gu Xiaoyu raised the corners of his lips, and his eyes softened unconsciously.

Seeing this scene, Xu Huaiyi couldn't help but feel sour again.

Gu Huanxi couldn't bear to see his childish old fatherly demeanor, so he asked about serious matters, "Have you discussed the outcome?"

Xu Huaiyi nodded, then shook his head, "There is just a preliminary plan, but it has not been finalized. There are still variables. In my opinion, they will not give up until the last step."

Gu Huan said unhappily, "But if you wait until that step, it will be too late. Not only will the difficulty increase, but there will also be more dangers. By then, the price you will pay will be even greater."

Xu Huaiyi said gloomily, "I broke all these principles into pieces and told them, but they... won't shed tears until they see the coffin. They have to hit the wall before turning back. What can I do?"

Gu Huanxi said calmly, "Then let's leave first."

"Ah?" Xu Huaiyi was stunned, "Aren't you waiting for them to get together?"

Gu Huanxi glanced at him and said calmly, "It's not that we can't wait, isn't it that we can't wait? Could it be that if we become like them, we have to wait until the last minute? We can obviously leave easily, but we have to go through all the difficulties?" I have no grudges against myself, so why should I be in trouble with myself and let go of my good life while looking for trouble?"

"But, wife..." Xu Huaiyi scratched his head, "Didn't you say before that it's better to go together with more people? When we get to the capital, we won't be alone and bullied."

"I have said it before, but now isn't it because they are unwilling to leave? Then there is no need to worry too much. We should choose the lesser of the two powers. We have done everything we should do, and we are not sorry for them."

Xu Huaiyi looked confused and hesitated to speak.

Gu Huanxi pretended not to notice and started to chase people away, "Stop hanging around here. The smell of alcohol is so unpleasant. Wash it away quickly. Starting from tomorrow, you will be busy."

When Xu Huaiyi left, he caught up with Gu Xiaoyu. The two of them were washing themselves in a simple shed in the backyard. Nowadays, water was scarce and they were reluctant to take a shower. They only used a handkerchief to wet it and wipe it.

Xu Huaiyi asked in a low voice, "Xiaoyu, who do you think was right between me and your mother just now?"

Gu Xiaoyu said without hesitation, "Mom is right."

Xu Huaiyi choked for some reason and asked unconvinced, "Why don't we go together? There are more people, more strength, and we have someone to help us on the road. When we get there, we have someone to rely on. Besides, it's not that they don't want to go, they just want to go again." Wait and see for a few more days..."

Gu Xiaoyu said, "Are you reluctant to leave them behind?"

Xu Huaiyi said with a guilty conscience, "It's not that I don't want to give up. I don't have a close relationship with them. I just thought that since we are from the same village, it's hard to be too ruthless."

Gu Xiaoyu said calmly, "But they don't appreciate it. You can't harm yourself for the sake of others. Of course, if you are the head of a village, the magistrate of a county, and the lord of a city, if you do this, then there will be no problem." It's your responsibility. It's your fault to abandon your own people, but what about now? From what standpoint do you take care of them?"

Xu Huaiyi was speechless.

Gu Xiaoyu continued, "It's true that you are kind, but when it comes to dividing people and time, my mother is more sober than you."

"Who are you kidding?" Xu Huaiyi pretended to be displeased and flicked his forehead, "As a father, can't you be righteous? Can't you be compassionate?"

"You actually have a pure heart."

Xu Huaiyi was stunned when he was suddenly praised. After he came to his senses, he smiled with his big white teeth, "You have a good vision. Yes, you have a pure heart as a father. Therefore, as long as there is still a chance, as a father I don’t want to give up. When I really have no choice but to do anything, at least I can have a clear conscience as a father.”

Gu Xiaoyu said "hmm".

Xu Huaiyi asked again, "Then you still think it's your mother, right?"

"of course."

"Hey, didn't you just praise me for my innocent heart?"

Gu Xiaoyu said calmly, "These are two different things. You act based on emotion, but mother uses reason to judge. Acting emotionally seems to be sentimental, but the variables are too big. Judgments made rationally may seem ruthless, but they are correct. .”

Xu Huaiyi, "..."

In the final analysis, he is still on his wife's side.

He slapped his head angrily, "You little traitor!"

It was obviously him who brought him home, but now, he has completely become his wife's biological son, and he has become a stepfather.

At night, Xu Huaiyi tossed and turned, unable to sleep well, but when it got up at dawn, he just did whatever he had to do as if he had nothing to do. In the next few days, he never mentioned anything to others about escaping with him, and just focused on doing what he did at home. To prepare, grind the purchased grains into powder, marinate the purchased pork and fry it into oily meat and put it on the altar, dry the vegetables that can be dried, pickle the pickles if they cannot, and make bean paste for rice. From time to time, he would go to Liu Shitou's house to check on the progress of the carriage. In short, he was busy every day, giving the village the feeling that he was in a hurry to leave.
