Chapter 14 Brothers and sisters
“This paper kite is so finely made,” Gong Baoan took it and couldn’t put it down, “It’s better than the ones sold!”
The Song family had very strict requirements on him. , especially in academic studies, for fear of falling behind. Therefore, he does not have much time to play every day.
Especially when she heard that some children were cut by kite strings, Mrs. Song was even more worried and did not allow them to play at all.
But what child doesn’t like flying kites, especially on a beautiful spring day.
"Actually, this is not the meeting gift I want to give you. Just wait." Gong Changan said and ran back. After a while, he came back with a one-foot-square wooden box. "I spent a lot of effort to make this. , I made several mistakes before."
Gong Baoan couldn't wait to open it, but he was stunned: "Fourth brother, what is this?"
"This way..." Gong Changan Kneel down and show him, turning over the lid of the box. Make supports so that the box stands at an angle.
"Put this here." Gong Changan handed Gong Baoan a glass bead, "Then don't worry about it."
Gong Baoan placed the glass bead on the upper right side of the box The crossbar with the cross-legged figure stuck to it was slightly tilted, and the glazed beads slid down.
But it looks like he was kicked off by a villain.
The bead was stopped by the net held by another little wooden man below, changed its direction slightly, rolled down to the right, and landed on the hand of a little dancing man.
The little man took the weight, slowly tilted his body, and sent the glass beads out.
What became more and more interesting next was a little man who looked like a soap official, holding a board in his hand and trying to fall. There was a little man lying diagonally below him.
The glass ball landed on the board, and the board fell down.
Hitting the buttocks of the villain below, the upper body of the slapped villain raised up, and his open mouth seemed to be screaming.
Gong Baoan was so amused that he giggled. He had never seen such a novel thing before, and it was better than the shadow puppet show.
The glass ball continued to roll down and hit the middle of the two wrestling little figures. The two little figures were separated. Because they were connected by rubber bands, they bounced far away.
At the same time, a horse was startled. The horse raised its front legs and threw the man on its back.
The glass ball slid down the horse's back, passed through the ropeway built by the rope, and landed in the mouth of a big golden toad with its head raised.
The big golden toad falls downwards, while the beautiful wooden figure connected to the other end soars upwards, with her dress made of white gauze fluttering, looking like a fairy.
"Fourth brother, your hands are so skillful!" Gong Baoan praised repeatedly, "How interesting!"
But then he felt a little sad: "Fourth brother prepared such a rare gift for me "It's a meeting gift, but I haven't prepared anything for you at all."
"Why do you and I care about this?" Gong Changan didn't mind, "Just write me a nice letter someday." "
Gong Xu looked at this picture of brothers and sisters, and couldn't help but feel moved.
You must know that although he hates Wen Mingqian deeply, Gong Changan is his son after all.
Everyone has feelings, and Gong Xu loves his children very much, so when his eldest son died, he wanted to tear Wen Mingqian into pieces.
For this reason, he loved Gong Baoan even more. For so many years, he tried his best to avoid Gong Changan, his legitimate son, and ignored him.
But once we met and talked, it was naturally a different feeling.
Not to mention that Gong Changan has a pleasing appearance and a pleasant temperament. Now he and Gong Baoan get along harmoniously.
Therefore, it was difficult for Gong Xu to be really hard on him, but his face remained calm. When Wen Mingqian came back from outside, he saw Gong Xu and his son together. Aunt Tian behind him couldn't help but feel moved when he saw it.
It is said that the master does not want to see his wife, but he still has his own son!
No, I have been to this yard twice in just a few days.
"Mother," Gong Changan looked up and saw Wen Mingqian and ran up with a smile, "you are back."
"Did you have much lunch?" Wen Mingqian held his hand and walked into the yard, "Have you rested for a while?"
The mother and son came to Gong Xu with questions and answers, and Wen Mingqian called him "Master" with a smile. .
Gong Xu responded in his throat. With both children in front of him, the superficial harmony naturally had to be maintained.
"Zhang Ma, cut this fire cube and simmer it with dried bamboo shoots for soup." Wen Mingqian bought a lot of ham, bacon and other items at the Nanhuo store. Gong Changan loved to eat this.
It’s just that Shuangxi is in the Great North, and it’s really inconvenient to eat southern goods, so I only eat it once or twice a month.
"You...are you the wife?" Gong Baoan looked at Wen Mingqian for a long time before summoning the courage to ask.
If Gong Xu doesn’t recommend him, then he can only ask himself.
"Are you Bao'an?" Wen Mingqian lowered his head slightly, "I am Madam."
"Bao'an has sent you greetings. I haven't been able to come over these days. Please forgive me." Gong Baoan was brought up to be very polite, because the Song family had high expectations for him and knew that pampering could never lead to great achievements, not to mention that he had already made plans to seize the direct line.
Wen Mingqian smiled at him, not overly warmly, but as if he had ulterior motives.
When Gong Xu saw Wen Mingqian coming back from outside, he didn't ask her what she had done. She just said to Gong Baoan: "Let's go back!"
Gong Baoan looked at Gong Changan very reluctantly. This The fourth brother was so suitable to him. The two of them were so attracted to each other when they first met. He even wanted to have dinner and sleep together!
But he looked at Gong Xu again, swallowed the words that came to his lips, took his father's hand obediently, and smiled at Wen Mingqian and Gong Changan's mother and son: "Madam, fourth brother, I Let’s go back and come back another day.”
After Gong Xu and his son left, Wen Mingqian asked his son: “Did you recruit them here?”
“My son just wants to try. Just give it a try and it will work!" Gong Changan always smiled playfully in front of Wen Mingqian, "This kid has a good nature, I hope his mother will not teach him a bad thing."
"You are only one or two years older than him," Wen Mingqian laughed, "but you know how to win big."
"How can a young master like me who is raised in a honeypot be like me, a fugitive soldier?" "Compared with those who came out of the pile?" Gong Changan smiled crookedly, "They read the books of sages and received academic teachings. I have experienced the cold and the cold, and I know the world.
The difference in age. Although they are not many, their experiences are very different. Besides, mother, you also taught me the classics, and my son can also talk about a few words."
The reason why Wen Mingqian came back to the capital after seven years. Just so that I can be fully prepared, especially when my son grows up.
Otherwise, the child is too young and has no ability to protect himself, which is absolutely impossible.
"After you met that child today, aren't you afraid that Mrs. Song will hate you even more?" Wen Mingqian asked him, "What will happen to you next?"
"Mom, you are tired after going out for the day. Right? Sit down and take a rest." Gong Changan asked her to sit on the chair, and then gently rubbed her shoulders and back, "Master, they are all guarding against you, but they are not guarding against me.
< br>Therefore, some things are easier for me to do, but even if there are some bad things, they won’t be able to understand them like children.”
“Then you have to be careful,” Wen Mingqian warned. I’m going to have a banquet in a few days, and I won’t be able to stop.”
