MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 128 birthday gift

Chapter 128 Birthday Ceremony

If the couple is not loving, then it may be more difficult to conceive a child.

But considering how hard their generals have been working, it has been almost two months and there has been no movement.

Coupled with the "urge" from the Queen today, Du Jingyi still felt a little anxious.

Shang Ji had been watching her, so he would not miss the thoughts in her eyes.

So, while everyone was walking forward, he deliberately stayed a few steps and whispered into Du Jingyi's ear.

 “I’m not in a hurry, and you shouldn’t be in a hurry either.”

in a hurry?

Du Jingyi looked at her husband confused, but soon understood.

 He lowered his head and smiled, feeling as warm as spring in his heart.

At the dinner table, Du Jingxiang specially twisted a few pieces of sausage and handed them to his sister, with a slightly expectant expression on his face.

 “Try it and see, I didn’t think it was delicious before, but now it tastes like a worldly delicacy.”

Her praise made Du Jingyi even more curious, so he actually took a bite.

 The meat is firm and has a slight smoky taste, but it is not very strong.

It seems to have been dried naturally, and fruits were used together, so it is a little sweeter.

 After eating two or three pieces in a row, Du Jingyi put down his chopsticks and said.

“When Aunt He comes, I will definitely send Danruo over to steal the teacher!”

Although the words didn’t say anything delicious, the meaning still made Du Jingxiang and He Shilin roll their eyes with laughter.

“I said, the sausages made by my mother-in-law are very delicious.”

“Yes, yes, if it tastes good, eat more. Look at all the people who have been tortured by children these days and have lost weight.”

He Shilin looked at his wife distressedly, but what he said made several people present unable to cope.

Thin?

 You must have gained a lot of weight!

　　When I came a few days ago, I was skinny and ugly. Now my face is plump and my body is a little swollen.

Especially this belly, which is simply swelling with the wind. If the clothes were not loose, it would be even more obvious.

So Du Jingyi snickered and said.

“Brother-in-law will definitely go to high school next year.”

  “Why?”

 “Because the words he spoke were really high-level!”

Hearing her teasing words, everyone laughed.

The Dus were naturally happy to see their eldest daughter and son-in-law being so loving.

 At such a fuss, Du Jingxiang blushed again.

They are all about to be mothers, but she still looks like a shy girl.

But Du Jingyi thinks this is very good.

She hoped that her sister would not have to endure any hardships in her life, and that she could live her life peacefully and happily.

 The time spent eating at the Du family always flies by.

Shang Ji had nothing to do today, so he accompanied him to chat with everyone at Du's house.

As he spoke, he realized that today was actually his father-in-law’s birthday!

 No wonder my father-in-law had a bowl of longevity noodles during the meal just now.

Shang Ji thought at the time that his father-in-law liked to eat pasta, but he didn’t expect it. He really didn’t expect it.

So he stood up with a guilty look on his face and said in a tone of apology.

"My son-in-law didn't know that today was my father-in-law's birthday, so he came here empty-handed. It's my fault. I will definitely prepare gifts when I get back and send them to my father-in-law in person to make amends."

“No, no, no, no need to bother my second uncle. I don’t like to celebrate birthdays with great fanfare. I don’t want to overdo it and let the gods in the sky see it and become jealous of me.”

"Besides, didn't the family have a lively meal just now? No special gifts are needed." Mr. Du said this kindly, but Shang Ji felt it was inappropriate, and in the end it was Du Jingyi who persuaded him. One sentence.

“General, don’t worry, I sent you a birthday gift a few days ago. Daddy likes it very much.”

 When mentioning this birthday ceremony, everyone was dumbfounded.

Du Jingyi didn’t know whether he was sincere or joking, but he actually ordered ninety-nine little golden pigs to be made and sent to Mr. Du as a congratulatory gift.

He is very naive, but also reveals some clear stupidity.

The people of the Du family remember clearly that when they opened the box, their eyes were almost blinded by the little golden pig.

　　It really lives up to the saying: glittering wealth.

 Shang Ji didn't know that his wife had already sent a congratulatory gift, but it was better than nothing.

So he didn’t say anything more and sat aside, just listening to their gossip quietly.

Suddenly, I remembered my father’s birthday party a few days ago. The occasion was just a show for others to watch.

No one ate or drank well, and no one came to congratulate me sincerely.

 In comparison, although my father-in-law’s birthday banquet was simple, it was comfortable, peaceful and warm.

 Families get together, eat delicious food, and talk about interesting topics.

 This is the atmosphere that should be present on a birthday.

 Unconsciously, Shang Ji also quietly integrated into the atmosphere of the Du family.

Although he doesn't like to talk, every time his family calls on him or asks about something, he can always answer it calmly and generously.

 As a result, everyone in the Du family knew him better.

As he was talking, for some reason, the topic came up about winter snow, and Mr. Du mentioned it in a well-founded way.

“The snow has fallen early this winter, so spring will probably come early next year. The crops on the northern border of our home may be affected by the disaster, and we have to find a way to appease the farmers.”

Master Du seemed to be an unintentional reminder, but Du Jingyi was keenly aware of the meaning.

　　 said that although it only mentioned the boundaries of the land in the north, businesses in the south should also be careful.

 Once crops are affected by disaster, it means that the prices of many things will also rise accordingly.

 How to mobilize the balance between the two places and make profits from it is something that the Du family, or Du Jingyi, needs to think more about.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi looked quite serious.

“Don’t worry, dad, my daughter will make arrangements for herself.”

"That's good."

 After all, the matter involved the secrets of the Du family, so the two of them did not make their words too transparent.

But the father and daughter only had a casual chat, but Shang Ji next to them also started to think about it.

 Judging from the business situation of the Du family, they must be very keen on the market. It's just that Luoxue came a little early, and he can think of this series of things. It seems that his judgment is not wrong.

 But Cezhou may not have such preparations.

So I came up with the idea of ​​sending a letter to the local officials and generals to let the local officials and generals pay more attention to the people's livelihood.

 They are in Sui'an City, so there is no need to worry about the Emperor's feet.

The people of Kecezhou are counting on the work of those three melons and two dates, and there is no room for any mistakes.

As I was thinking about it, I felt that I would better ask my wife for advice when I go back.

 After all, with her intelligence, she might be able to come up with some good ideas for the people of Cezhou.

　　You can live a more or less prosperous life, so that there will not be hungry people in need of relief every year.

 It wasn't until sunset that the two of them had dinner before returning to the Duke's Mansion.
