Chapter 204: Not Enough Gold

Su Qingmei spent a day collecting bamboo fungus in the mountains, and soon fell asleep with Xiaobao. She slept deeply and sweetly.

But Lu Bocheng couldn't sleep.

He read Su Qingmei's letter more than a dozen times, and could recite it by heart. He also saw Xiaobao's portrait and almost engraved it in his heart.

He tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.

Thinking about the experience of the mother and son, he felt pain and sadness in his heart.

I thought my wife would be fine and live a quiet and stable life in Fengting Town. There was no shortage of food and drink at home, and his father was not a harsh person.

Although there was a stepmother, the fifteen acres of land of her grandfather was still in her hands, enough for her to eat and drink alone. It was enough for her to have a child.

Unexpectedly, there was really a child.

Lu Weiyang? Xiaobao!

Lu Bocheng grinned and laughed silently. My wife said that he was tough and smart, lively and sensible, and looked like him.

Isn't this a foolish thing to say, my wife? His son doesn't look like him, who should he look like?

Then I thought, is it because his father is not around that Xiaobao is so obedient and sensible, and rarely cries?

He has not even turned one year old, but he has been running around with his mother. He is just a little kid, he can't walk, he can't speak, and he has been suffering with adults all the way...

Lü Bocheng covered his head with the quilt...

The dog boy sleeping in a tent listened quietly and sighed. The general cried again.

He didn't dare to make a sound, lying straight, and didn't dare to turn over, for fear of disturbing him.

The general has been abnormal since he received the letter from home, crying and laughing. It has been a day, as if his soul has left his body.

However, if he also has such a lovely son, and such a woman who can read and write, raise children and make money, he will also laugh.

However, when he heard that his wife and child left their hometown and suffered all the way, he might cry too.

Gou Wa thought blankly.

When he sees his sister-in-law in the future, he must ask her to find him a wife like her, and have another child who looks like him.

Gou Wa laughed, his eyes flashing with anticipation in the dark.

Suddenly, he heard movement from the general.

He turned over and got out of bed. What is he doing, going out to pee?

He pricked up his ears and listened, but there was nothing. The general did not leave the tent, but lit the oil lamp.

"General..."

Lu Bocheng's men paused: "Did I wake you up?"

"No. I'm not asleep yet."

"Then you continue to sleep."

How can he sleep like this? Gou Wa stood up and looked at him.

He saw him pick up his sword and quickly got under the bed.

Gou Wa rolled his eyes silently.

It was buried so deep, so hidden, and so heavily guarded, who would dare to go in and steal?

Just after I finished complaining, I saw him crawling out from under the bed, pouring a jar of gold on the hem of his clothes and counting it.

Gou Wa just wanted to beat the bed, what's wrong with this! Not sleeping at night, digging gold and counting gold!

Is it not tiring to guard the city wall during the day? Is it not enough wind and soil?

I looked at him speechlessly. Seeing him holding the jar in a daze after counting the gold, I finally couldn't help it and asked: "General, how many times have you counted it? You don't count it in your heart, and you are still counting it?"

Then I heard Lu Bocheng sighing leisurely: "I don't have that much salary now. The monthly salary is not enough for me to go to the kitchen to exchange for food. Xiaobao will study, get married, and buy property in the future. How can this be enough."

Gou Wa just stood up and fell back on the bed.

"General, are you thinking too far ahead? Your son is only two years old, two years old!"

"What's wrong with two years old? He will grow up very quickly. I didn't know he existed before today. Look, he is two years old in a flash. After a while, he will grow up suddenly."

Your son grows up in the face of the wind! After a while, he will grow up suddenly.

Then I heard Lu Bocheng say again: "You are now a personal soldier beside Marshal Cui. Haven't you heard him say that his daughter has been preparing dowries since she was born, and it takes several years to find wood for furniture in the south."

"That's a wealthy family. We are a small family, and it's good enough to have enough food." Gou Wa curled his lips.

"That won't work. I am like this myself, and I can't let my son be like me."

If Su Qing'an heard it, she would definitely praise him for his insight. When modern people motivate themselves, they often say a sentence: "I am not a rich second generation, but I want my children to be rich second generation!"

The slogan was shouted loudly, like chicken blood.

Lü Bocheng didn't know he had a son before. After being assigned to guard the city, he faced the Gobi Desert every day, and his heart was withering little by little.

Today, he received Su Qing'an's letter, and his heart was like a sweet rain in a long-dry field. He felt that every pore of his body was clamoring, he wanted to live! To live well! He wanted to see his wife and his son!

Lü Bocheng looked at the private collection he had hidden for almost three years in his arms, and sighed leisurely.

"I don't know if my wife and Xiaobao are doing well now, and whether they can have food." It would be great if I could take this gold to my wife.

She is a woman with a child, far away from home, without a house or land, drifting around... She was also separated from her father-in-law and mother-in-law. How difficult it must be to leave her hometown.

It would be great if he was by her side.

Lü Bocheng's eyes were moist again.

He turned around and lay back under the bed, burying the jar again. The tears fell into the soil and soon disappeared.

In the mountains of Jiangdong, Su Qingmei had a good night's sleep.

The weather is cool, which is the best time to sleep. The kang is ready, but it has not been used yet. She has added another quilt. She was exhausted from moving bamboo shoots back from the foot of the mountain yesterday.

She fell asleep as soon as she fell on the bed last night, without even a dream.

Xiaobao was the same. He ran in the bamboo forest all day and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed last night.

In the morning, Su Qingmei's mind was awake, but her body did not move. The weather is cool, which is the best time to stay in bed. She likes to stay in bed the most.

While she was staying in bed, she suddenly felt her arm sink. Soon two small hands climbed up.

Su Qingmei smiled.

She turned sideways and held Xiaobao in her arms.

As long as Xiaobao was allowed to sleep enough, he would not be sleepy in the morning. He got up on time more punctually than her. If he opened his eyes and saw that she was not awake yet, he would come over to hold her arm and get into her arms.

"Is Xiaobao awake?"

"Is Mom awake?"

"Mom still wants to sleep."

"Xiaobao still wants to sleep."

"Xiaobao, will you sleep with Mom? You're so good."

"Good."

"Whose baby is this good?"

"Mom's."

"It's Mom's. That's great. Smell me."

Xiaobao twisted his little body and giggled. He also held Su Qing'an's face and kissed her left and right. He lay in Su Qing'an's arms and closed his eyes again.

Su Qing'an touched his little back, the soft flesh on the back of his neck, his little butt that was beginning to grow flesh, his two fleshy little short legs, and scratched his soft soles, making him giggle and twist his little body to avoid being tickled.

Su Qing'an raised the corner of his mouth, feeling extremely satisfied.
