My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 196 The atmosphere in Pei’s old house is tense

"You think about yours, and I think about mine. After all, each of us has our own expectations. We can live happily every day as long as we can have a better day. In days like this, I don't know what the people of Xuanzhou are eating. "Do you have the lotus root cakes that I miss?"

Just as he was talking, Pei Ziyao brought a plate of Xuanzhou's specialty lotus root cake. Although it was not as exquisite and delicious as the local ones, it was still a little surprising, especially Uncle Han.

"Where did this thing come from? Ah Yao, how did you know I wanted to eat it?"

"Uncle Han thinks who else in the army can have such a delicate mind, it can't be my eldest brother and me."

She laughed sarcastically to herself, and then made Uncle Han laugh too.

Looking at Jiang Shiyuan, this woman was really thoughtful. She prepared meals from her hometown for the soldiers in the army, and never forgot that he and Mu Shao were from Xuanzhou, so when she saw the lotus root cake, He took a gentle bite, and his longing for his hometown reached its peak at this moment.

The moon is in the sky and the world is round.

Every household stays up late on New Year's Eve, both in Hanzhou and in Xijing.

In the Pei family's old house.

Their life this year was just as deserted as in previous years, and they lacked the harmony of previous years.

Pei Zixuan didn't want to go out, so he hid in the house on the pretext of being sick. Pei Ziti was thinking about her and felt a little melancholy, especially Aunt An, who had been forcing a smile on her face. Even though the table was full of food, she couldn't eat it at the moment. No one could swallow it, but Mr. Pei enjoyed it. He glanced at the expressions of mother and son and said calmly.

"This is such a big deal, but you just won't eat. If something happens to me in the future, won't you be starving yourself to death?"

He is not taboo about these things, but he feels that the mother and son are a little sentimental, so he speaks out. It’s just that his words are not so pleasant, so no matter how nice the words are, they come out of his mouth as if they are with a Some bad luck.

Aunt An frowned when she heard this, looked at Mr. Pei and said something to him.

"Today is New Year's Eve, and the Lord has started to say these unlucky words again. Your body is too short to live for a hundred years, how could something happen? Okay, let's not mention those things in the past. I don't want to come. Just don’t come, let’s just have a happy holiday together, how about that?”

"What my aunt said is that the most important thing is to abandon the past and welcome the New Year."

The mother and son looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was livened up by them. Therefore, although it was not as lively as the military camp, it still had a little warmth. What was different from them was that they were thousands of miles away in Xijing City. , Mrs. Pei stayed alone in Ning'an Garden.

Before that, Mrs. Pei wanted to invite her to stay with the Marquis of Wenyuan, but Mrs. Pei refused. For her, she had long been used to such a deserted New Year, so she didn't want to get involved with you at all. Get into the excitement of other people’s homes.

A pot of sake and a few plates of hot food. She sat quietly alone in the courtyard of Ning'an Garden, wrapped in a thick cloak, and two charcoal pots were placed next to her. She didn't look cold at all. She looked up at the moon in the sky. It was not very clear, but it was It won't be completely swallowed up by the dark night, and there is still some light.

Aunt Wu, who was accompanying Mrs. Pei, looked at Mrs. Pei with some distress.

When she was in her parents' home, she was so innocent, lovely and smart, but after all these years, she was buried in the Pei family. Now she only hopes that the young lady can return as soon as possible, so that even if she is deserted, she will at least be lonely. There are also mother-in-law and daughter-in-law eating together, so it is not like the wife has to swallow all the bitterness alone.

"Ma'am, it's better to drink less. After all, it's harmful to your health."

"Why am I afraid of hurting my body now? Now Zi Su has found the one who will be with him for life. Even the marriage between A Yao and A Miao has not yet come to fruition. When they all find the one who will be with them for life, they will ask me to let go. , I have no regrets.”

The Pei family army is now firmly in the hands of Pei Zisu, and Pei Ziyao and Pei Zimiao have also achieved success. Therefore, Mrs. Pei is not worried about the careers of the three of them at all. She only feels that if the marriage between the two is If she could finish it earlier, she would also be able to find some peace.

It's just that she has experienced it herself, so she is unwilling to force her children. Therefore, she doesn't know when their fate will come, and she will not force it.

Seeing the calm look on her face, Nanny Wu next to her sighed, and then said.

"Madam, don't have such thoughts. When the girl and the third brother are married, they will definitely have children. Madam will have to help take care of the children by then. It is Madam's turn to enjoy such family happiness. "

"Family happiness? I'm afraid I'm a little unworthy. I have failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a mother, let alone a grandmother. So I don't expect the three brothers and sisters to forgive me. As long as they can live a good life, I It won’t hinder their eyes. If it weren’t for the unpredictable situation in Xijing City, I wouldn’t want to stay here. Only when we can walk around will our life be considered in vain.”

Aunt Wu didn't know what the situation was like outside, but since the lady said so, she naturally wanted to accompany her, so she smiled and said.

"What Madam said is that I will be where you are. If you want to watch over me, I will accompany you. But if you want to go out for a walk, I will also accompany you."

Mrs. Pei glanced at the maid who had been with her for many years. She was obviously only three or five years older than her, but she had been worrying too much over the years and looked much older, so she took her hand. Just let her sit in front of him.

"After so many years, you are the only one who doesn't dislike me and has been with me all the time. Today you will have a few drinks with me, which will make this year less lonely."

Mother Wu could not refuse but had to sit down. After a few glasses of wine, she relaxed a lot. Thinking of Madam’s grievances over the years, she became angry and couldn’t help but say to Madam Pei. One sentence.

"Although...although it is inappropriate for the old slave to say this, I still want to say that in our Dasui, second marriage after divorce is not a big deal at all. Now that the eldest brother, eldest daughter, and third brother have all grown up, this They can live their lives well, why don't you make peace with General Pei, and let's go back to Xuanzhou and go back to the old lady! She has been writing to you in the past few years to persuade her, and the Su family expressed her disapproval. The young master has been waiting for you, but he has never been married."

Hearing this, Mrs. Pei moved slightly while pouring the wine.

Cousin of the Su family, this name has already happened to her many years ago, and the two of them grew up together. However, she has no romantic feelings for this cousin, so she received the offer of marriage. When she was married, she didn't feel lost. Instead, she was concentrating on getting married.
