Chapter 541 Staying in Beijing

"Where are Tai Ge'er and the others? Why haven't they come yet?"

Mr. Du asked appropriately, and Du Jingyi explained.

"The class hasn't finished yet, so Fourth Aunt and Cousin Zhao are waiting at home. They can come after the teacher finishes class. Otherwise, if they miss the class, the teacher will spank their palms."

"So strict?"

"It's good to be strict. Dad knows that those naughty monkeys are very difficult to discipline. It's strange that the brothers don't quarrel when they are together. Naturally, we need to find a strict teacher to control them."

Mr. Du certainly loves his grandchildren, but he also knows that children of this age should be disciplined by rules, otherwise it will be difficult to correct them when they grow up. Therefore, although he loves them, he still has to complete his homework.

Afterwards, Du Jingyi did not forget to add a sentence.

"Brother Yun is steady and good at studying. After attending several classes, the teacher told me privately that this child is a good student. He can sit still and learn. He is probably like my brother-in-law."

Parents are always happy when their children are praised, so Du Jingxiang and He Shilin and his wife looked at Brother Yun with a look of relief.

Brother Yun felt a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head and smiled, and then said nothing more.

The atmosphere was lively when they were there, but it was still lacking. When Brother Tai and his brothers came, the room seemed to have dozens of people, chattering endlessly.

He Shilin probably didn't expect that the children of Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi could be so noisy, so he was shocked to see the brothers teasing this and that like a joke.

In the end, he whispered to Du Jingxiang.

"I thought the children would be more like General Gu, with a steady temperament."

"It's difficult to ask children this old to be steady, but I think Ming Ge'er is calm, unlike Wen Ge'er, who is just a little troublemaker. My husband doesn't know that before you came, he was already a well-known child in the circle of children in Sui'an City."

He Shilin nodded, believing in his wife's words.

With them, Yun Ge'er became more lively. He Shilin felt better when he saw the children talking and talking.

But at the dinner table, the children's rules gave him a new understanding.

Don't look at them making a fuss, but they are not bad at all when they should be disciplined. He Shilin saw it in his eyes and felt that they were children who grew up in a noble family like the Gu family, and their He family couldn't compare.

Therefore, the children didn't feel inferior yet, but he felt a little self-pity first.

Du Jingxiang felt her husband's discomfort, so she served him the right amount of food, and then smiled, which was very comforting.

After the meal, Mr. Du said thoughtfully.

"You are tired after the long journey, go back and rest first, and send the children back after playing for a while."

He Shilin was indeed uncomfortable, so he didn't bother to be polite with them. He stood up and bowed before returning to Quxi Courtyard.

Du Jingxiang accompanied him, and the couple returned to the main house of Quxi Courtyard with many feelings.

"Last time you came, you were just pregnant. Now our children are a few years old. Time really doesn't spare anyone."

】

While changing his clothes, Du Jingxiang asked someone to turn on the water for him to bathe later.

"Who says it's not true? Seeing the children grow up day by day, we are getting old too."

"Speaking of aging, I think my father-in-law and mother-in-law are in good spirits, especially my mother-in-law. She hasn't changed in all these years. She is still the same as before, but her temper is a little gentler. Look at the way she looks at the children, she is soft."

"Yes, fortunately, they are in good spirits, otherwise I, the daughter who married far away, would feel guilty. My husband, you don't know that when I came back this time and looked at the white hair they had, I felt very upset. After this time, I don't know when I will see them next time."

Du Jingxiang said sadly, and He Shilin sighed after hearing it.

"Don't mention you, even I feel dazed sometimes, but seeing you come this time, the mother and the three of you are more relaxed than when you were in Pingzhou, especially the two children. I think they have a good relationship with Jingyi."

"Tangtang loves them so much that she would like to pick the moon from the sky and give it to them. Naturally, they have a good relationship."

"I see coldly that the children still have to live in a place like Sui'an City to practice some skills. Look at that small place in Pingzhou. I'm afraid that the children will be wronged if they follow us."

His words reminded Du Jingxiang of what her mother had said before, so she hesitated to speak.

He Shilin saw it, so he patted the back of her hand and said.

"You and I have been married for many years, what can't we say? What's wrong?"

Du Jingxiang didn't hide it and repeated what Mrs. Du had said to her a few days ago. After hearing this, He Shilin was silent.

He knew that his mother-in-law had good intentions, and that staying here was the best choice for the children's future, but He Shilin was reluctant to let them leave home at such a young age, so he sighed.

"It's all my fault that I don't have the ability to get promoted. Otherwise, if I could come to Sui'an City to be an official like my colleagues, our children wouldn't have to suffer this separation."

Du Jingxiang knew her husband's worries, so she didn't joke with him about it, so she said it softly to comfort him.

"Don't think so much. If you are really the kind of person who knows how to cheat, I'm afraid the children will follow your example. So there is nothing wrong with our family doing our duty. It's just what my mother said. I really don't I'm thinking that my husband doesn't know that Brother Yun has learned a lot in the General's Mansion these days. We can't even pay a lot of money to invite the wife there to Pingzhou, so I think if it's really for My child’s future is only as good as my mother’s words.”

He Shilin didn't know why, but he still had trouble getting over this hurdle, so he waved his hand and said.

"Think about it again. Let's talk about this again after my birthday."

Seeing that Mr. Du's birthday was coming up in the past two days, and there were many things going on at home, Du Jingxiang didn't say anything more.

The couple were thinking about this matter, and Mr. Du and Mrs. Du were also idle.

While the children were playing, they started talking to Du Jingyi again.

"Your brother-in-law looks very different this time than before. He always feels that things are not going well for him and his luck is also bad. Look at the way he speaks and acts. He is very different from Shao Yu. I think, if there is If we have the opportunity, let’s buy him a smaller official position in Sui’an City.”
