Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 637: Chapter 637: Better to Rely on Oneself than to Seek Help_1

An Jing: ”...” Is it really okay for one person to always be the one giving?

Meng Zhuqing: ”...” I really want to get out of being single... I really want a woman to dote on me too...

Xiao Changyi: You guys have your fun, I have my own world.

Perhaps fearing that Meng Lanqing would change her mind, Gong Juese hurried back to the town as soon as she finished speaking, to pack her things and move in to live with Meng Lanqing.

But Gong Juese was really too lively.

The result of being overly lively was that she was very noisy.

Sometimes Gong Juechen, this extremely shameless charmer, would also come to visit his sister Gong Juese, which led to — even more noise.

Then, Xiao Changyi, who didn’t like outsiders disturbing his peaceful days with his wife, couldn’t stand it anymore and sent Meng Lanqing back to the rice shop to hold down the fort, saying that he didn’t need Meng Lanqing there anymore, but he kept Meng Zhuqing.

Before Meng Lanqing left for the rice shop with Gong Juese, she beat up Meng Zhuqing again.

And once again, she targeted Meng Zhuqing’s face...

Meng Zhuqing: ”...”

With Gong Juese following Meng Lanqing to the rice shop to stay, Gong Juechen seldom came around, and then, the world of An Jing and Xiao Changyi became much quieter than before.

On the twelfth month, the sixteenth day, An Jing and Xiao Changyi received a letter from Li Wuyu, who informed them that Prime Minister Li had agreed to her marriage with Wang Youbao.

An Jing was both surprised and happy for Li Wuyu and Wang Youbao.

”My dear, I really didn’t expect that Prime Minister Li would agree to Youbao and Wuyu’s marriage.” An Jing was extremely happy and felt a great sense of relief.

Truth be told, she was quite worried about the two of them.

Not waiting for Xiao Changyi to speak, An Jing smiled again and said, ”It’s all thanks to Youbao’s consistently good character. Wuyu said that Prime Minister Li appreciated that aspect of Youbao.”

Xiao Changyi said indifferently, ”It seems to prove that old saying, ’It’s better to depend on oneself than on others.’”

An Jing nodded, ”Yes, if he wasn’t good enough himself, no matter how much we tried to help him, it would be useless.”

Immediately, An Jing began to put away the letter, saying, ”Wuyu said that Youbao set off to return last month on the twenty-eighth, so I expect he should be home in a few days.”

”Mhm.”

”Youbao is also rushing back for the New Year. Otherwise, he could have stayed longer in the Imperial Capital. Today is already the twelfth month, the sixteenth day; we’re only a few days away from New Year. Last year we bought a big firecracker because I was pregnant, but this year we need to get an even bigger one. We’ve got four kids all at once, and this will be the first New Year that the six of us truly celebrate together. We definitely have to make it more festive than last year.”

”Mhm.”

”On New Year’s Eve, we also have to give the children their New Year’s money. We’ll have to do it every year from now on. How about we give each of them two coins? After all, more isn’t always better with New Year’s money; it’s the thought that counts. It symbolizes good fortune, wishing for them to be safe every year.”

”Mhm.”

”And also, on the day of New Year...” An Jing hadn’t finished her sentence when she noticed her eldest son, Su Yi Jing, trying to turn over in a way that seemed neither here nor there, and immediately switched gears to ask, ”My dear, look at Jing’er. What is he doing?”

Xiao Changyi observed carefully before replying, ”He seems to want to sit up.”

Right away, An Jing was overjoyed, ”He’s over six months old now; he should be able to sit up by himself, right? We’ve sat him down before, and he was able to sit steadily.”

Seeing that Su Yi Jing, the little guy, struggled for a long time but couldn’t sit up, An Jing felt a bit sorry for him, ”Dear, shall we help Jing’er?”
