Chapter 309 Between Father and Son
Chapter 309 Between Father and Son
"Wife, thank you for your hard work over the years." Shen Yi held Su Tai's hand affectionately.
Su Tai nodded proudly, "It is very hard... but I can accept it. It is mainly to wait for you to come back. When you come back, the burden on my shoulders will be much lighter."
Shen Yi nodded resolutely, "From now on, if there is anything you don't want to do, just tell me and I will do it."
Su Tai smiled brightly and helped him undress. Seeing that Shen Yi didn't have any wounds on his body, she was even happier. "Okay, okay, you'll be the same when you leave and you'll be the same when you come back."
Shen Yi was happy too, and praised generously: "It's all thanks to my wife. The armor you gave me has saved us countless times. If it weren't for the armor, I wouldn't have been able to be promoted to a small governor. The military camp wanted to recommend me for merit, and the rank would be above that of a large governor, but I didn't agree.
Fighting and killing is not as happy as having a wife and children! I don't have any great ambitions, I just want to live a peaceful life with you until we grow old together!"
Su Tai's heart trembled. While rubbing Shen Yi's back, she scolded him, "You've become more sweet after going out. You wouldn't say such cheesy words before."
"Hehe, this is called speaking from my heart. Having experienced life and death, I think it's useless to be pretentious. I should say what I think in my heart, wife, don't you think I'm right?" Shen Yi tilted his head back hard just to look Su Tai in the eyes when he spoke.
Su Tai blushed at his words, "Yes, yes, you are right!"
Shen Yi was even happier. If it wasn't the wrong timing, he would have wanted to drag Su Tai into the water with him.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, where did that jade come from? That thing really helped me a lot!"
Shen Yi told Su Tai in detail how he used jade to please his superiors and how he used jade to negotiate for Su Chunlin and others.
Su Tai smiled and said, "If I had known this thing was useful, I would have gotten you more. I also got this thing from that mysterious place. There is also top-quality mutton-fat white jade there, which is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated. What I have taken out now are just some ordinary stuff. I didn't expect it to be so valuable.
But it’s not good to have too much of this stuff, and it’s too conspicuous, so I took it out a few times, and now I don’t dare to take it out anymore.”
Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief. "You are right. We have no background and are easily targeted. We should do small business steadily in the future. Although it is a bit harder, it is safer."
The couple chattered for quite a while.
Su Tai saw that the water in Shen Yi's bath had turned muddy, and smiled speechlessly, "Have you not taken a bath in these years?"
Shen Yi nodded repeatedly, "The conditions in the military camp are not good. We definitely can't wash in the winter. At most, we can wipe our face and neck. In the summer, we can run to the stream to wash. But we dare not expose our armor. We usually go out once every ten days or half a month, and we always move in the dark. I know I'm dirty, but saving my life is important, and other things are not important."
Su Tai felt uncomfortable after hearing this, so she quickly drained the water and filled him with a pool of clean hot water.
Then he applied shower soap and shampoo again, and rinsed him three times. When Shen Yi entered the bathtub again, the water was still clean and clear.
Wait for Shen Yi to finish taking a shower.
Su Tai helped him wash the dirty clothes and found that the armor was covered with scratches, almost all on the chest, back and arms. There were also several obvious knife marks on the hood, which was shocking.
She couldn't help but feel a little scared.
Fortunately, everyone returned safely.
She cleaned the armor carefully and hung it in the bathroom, then rubbed, beat and soaked the other dirty clothes with laundry soap, and was busy until dark.
When the children saw her, they immediately cried out, "Mom, we want to eat. We are hungry."
Shen Yuean shouted in a baby voice: "Daddy wants to eat too. Daddy is hungry too."
Shen Yi picked up Shen Yuean and kissed her hard, "Eat! My An'er said daddy is hungry, and daddy is hungry."
Su Tai laughed angrily.
This person had just eaten more than a dozen durian cakes and drank a full bowl of papaya, tremella, red dates and milk soup. How could he be hungry so quickly!
But she didn't spoil the fun. She turned around and went to the kitchen, and then ran to the fire time and space to make all the hot pot and buns she ordered.
When the food was served on the table, meat-loving men, women, young and old all cheered.
He ate without making a sound.
Shen Yi hadn't eaten these foods for a long time and couldn't stop eating them.
Su Tai thought that since there were so many of these things, there might be a lot left, but in the end they were all eaten up.
Shen Yi still looked unsatisfied.
After dinner, the father and his five sons played in the side room where the charcoal stove was missing.
After spending half a day together, the twins have become familiar with Shen Yi. They call him dad all the time and are very attached to him, even Su Tai has to stand behind him.
When it was time to go to bed, she even asked Shen Yi to sleep with them.
Shen Yi felt that he owed his children too much over the years, so he agreed readily. A man and four children slept in one bed, as crowded as dumplings.
Su Tai asked them to sleep sideways, and only then could they lie down with difficulty.
Seeing that they were about to go to sleep, Su Tai also returned to the bedroom.
Half asleep and half awake, she noticed some movement beside her. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw Shen Yi rushing towards her.
"You're going to die! Where are the children?" Su Tai complained.
Shen Yihou said anxiously: "He is fast asleep and will not wake up until dawn. Wife, I miss you, I want you..."
A crazy night.
Before dawn the next day, Shen Yi got up in high spirits and went to the workshop next door.
Shen Ergou and Shen Tian have already started working.
Shen Yi immediately went in to help and said, "Thank you for your hard work over the years."
Shen Ergou smiled naively and said, "It's not hard, not hard! Brother Shen, um... I want my elder brother to come back too, should I let him come over to work?"
Shen Yi paused and smiled at him soothingly, "If you are doing well, just keep doing it. If you don't want to do it anymore, just tell me. Your eldest brother is my brother who has been through thick and thin with me. I will definitely protect him. After the busy farming season in the spring, we will discuss other ways to make money. Don't worry."
"Okay, okay..." Shen Ergou nodded repeatedly and promised: "Brother Shen, I will do my job well."
Shen Tian joked: "Second brother, the eldest brother told you the same thing, but you are still not at ease."
Shen Yi could understand Shen Ergou's concerns, and said a lot of comforting words, and then asked about the operation of the workshop in recent years.
Shen Tiancui replied: "When Mr. Tang and his family lived in the backyard, Mr. Tang's wife helped Sister Su Tai take care of the children. Sister Su Tai would come over to help, but my second brother and I did most of the work. Occasionally, Sister Su Tai's parents and brothers would come over to help.
Later, Mr. Tang and his family left the village, and Sister Su Tai had to take care of the child by herself, so she no longer came here. We were the ones doing most of the work, and Sister Su Tai would only bring the child here when she had time. "
"Thank you for the trouble!" Shen Yi thought about the situation at home, but he still felt sad when he heard Shen Tian say that.
"How much do you make per month now?"
