Chapter 217 Why are you hiding from her?
Pei Yanning glanced at her sideways, and the young man in noble attire had a gentle look in his eyes: "Isn't this what should be done?"

Pei Yanning is Lingxi's confidence.

Pei Yanning knew it very well, and Lingxi knew it too.

"But I just want to tell my dad when I'm happy!" Lingxi said sweet words easily.

Pei Yanning's eyes and eyebrows were instantly filled with smiles.

Gu Si couldn't stand seeing the father and daughter being so clingy, he was still holding his third son in his arms, he walked to the other side of Lingxi, "I also think that Dad should do that, after all he is your father!
Wife, don't be polite to him. Just tell Fourth Brother if you are happy. It doesn't matter whether Father knows about it or not."

Pei Yanning: “…”

"yes!
Compared to you, Qingbei, I am an old man! "

Pei Yanning smiled, his tone was cold and sarcastic: "I don't know how much younger your face will look than mine in a few years!"

Gu Si’s expression froze.

Lingxi couldn't help laughing.

Haha, why do you mess with Fourth Brother for no reason?
Second Uncle Pei and Pei Jin were watching the fun from the side, but Second Uncle Pei's eyes also fell on Pei Yanning's face. To be honest, he still didn't understand what was going on.

He was just simply confused.

This didn't stop him from watching the father-in-law and son-in-law bickering.

Hahaha!-
Peijia Village still looks the same as before.

Peijia Village is the gathering place of the Pei clan. Their ancestors have lived here for many years. In the beginning, they had some foundation, and they made a lot of money from hunting and collecting herbs.

Although it doesn't look like it on the surface, there aren't many people in the village who are truly poor.

The yards of every household are still relatively sturdy. After being soaked in the rain, they seem to be fine now.

When Pei Yanning and his friends returned to the Pei family, smoke was coming out of the kitchen chimney. Second Aunt Pei, Third Aunt Pei, and Elder Aunt Pei were all busy inside.

Lingxi poked her head in to take a look, but didn't see the old lady, so she became curious.

"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, where is the nurse?"

Pei Yanning followed behind Lingxi with his hand on Lingxi's shoulder.

Uncle Pei and his friends were holding the baby.

When Second Aunt Pei saw them, she cried out, and together with Third Aunt Pei, they all smiled, "Your grandma went out to visit friends and hasn't come back yet.

Oh, these are the ones Lingxi gave birth to!
Come on, come on, go inside quickly, it's cold outside, don't get caught in the wind."

Aunt Pei also smiled.

"Go back to the house first. The little kid can't be exposed to the wind. When your uncle comes back, light up the kang in Lingxi's room. It's a good time to go in now."

They all knew that the three children born to Lingxi were weak, so no one wanted to go outside to see what the cubs looked like. They were really afraid that they would catch a cold.

Second Aunt Pei and Third Aunt Pei, along with the eldest cousin's wife, went into the house to take a look at the baby. They looked at him with great admiration, but because they were worried about the work in the kitchen, they hurried back.

Seeing that the baby was settled, Lingxi asked Uncle Pei curiously, "I didn't see Minghui and Mingyang just now. Did they go out to play?"

Ever since Mingyang moved in with Lingxi and the others, Minghui felt like a little host and had to entertain the children who came to visit his home well, so he took the initiative to play with Mingyang all day long.

Uncle Pei had a gentle expression and a smile on his face: "I guess we should go to the front of the ancestral hall together. There are many children and young people playing in the small square over there."

During the autumn and summer harvests, the field is used for drying crops. At other times, people play spinning tops, jump rope, rubber band skipping, and occasionally, you can see people fighting, sparring, and practicing archery.

He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you and Pei Jin Lao Si go take a look? It's quite lively."

Lingxi: “…Ah?”

She goes?

Pei Yanning said, "My dear, you can go out and play. Since you gave birth to these three little ones, you have rarely been out of the house.

This time, let your eldest brother and fourth brother accompany you, it’s a good opportunity for you to go for a walk.

Dad is at home, so you don't need to worry about anything."

Lingxi thought about it and thought it was okay. Lingxi saw her father looking at her with a distressed expression, as if he felt that she had suffered a lot of grievances by giving birth to three little ones.

Lingxi: “…”

Whether she goes out or not has nothing to do with whether she has children or how many children she has.

She just didn't want to go out, that's all.

But, her father felt sorry for her, so she nodded in the end.

"If you have something to do, you don't have to come with us. Fourth brother and I can just walk around."

Gu Si's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, brother is always busy, Lingxi and I can do it, brother doesn't need to follow."

Pei Jin: “…”

If you could just take off the smile on your face, he would be able to believe in a clear conscience that he is really thinking about him.

But Pei Jin did not force them. He just told them in detail where there might be a lot of people in the village and where there might be excitement before letting them leave.

Only Pei Yanning and his brother, as well as Pei Jin, were left in the room. Pei Yanning asked Second Uncle Pei, "In the room?"

Uncle Pei hummed.

Pei Yanning didn't say anything, but just walked towards the old lady's room.

At this time, the old lady's room door was closed and bolted.

He knocked on the door, but there was no response, so he simply took out the dagger from his pocket and pried open the bolt along the crack in the door.

The light from outside came in, and the old lady who was sitting on the kang with her legs crossed looked at her young son who opened the door and came in. She was not surprised at all.

"Ling Xier is gone?"

Uncle Pei followed in and saw his mother in the room. He was puzzled: "What's wrong with you? Ling Xier is back, why are you hiding from her?"

The old lady glanced at her two sons, ignored them, got off the kang, and walked towards Lingxi's room on her small feet.

When the old lady saw the three little ones, her face instantly lit up with a smile.

"Oh my, my dear great-grandchildren..." She looked at them one by one and smiled: "They all look like your eldest brother."

Pei Yanning, Second Uncle Pei: "..."

The old lady asked Pei Yanning: "I heard from the second son and the others that the third child has the same surname as ours, Pei, right?"

Pei Yanning hummed.

The old lady smiled and said, "It's good to have the surname Pei. Your eldest brother has an heir...

You all have no conscience, only Ling Xier knows how to feel sorry for me."

Pei Yanning and Uncle Pei were speechless for a moment as they looked at the old lady who had lost a lot of weight compared to last year and looked like only a bag of bones left.

The old lady talked about her own things and took out three copper coins strung with red strings from her pocket.

"They say it can keep you safe. You guys, grow up well and live in peace. Don't be like your heartless grandfather..."

at the same time--

As soon as Gu Si and Ling Xi arrived at the small square in front of the ancestral hall, they saw from afar a group of young people forming a circle, with cheers coming from inside from time to time.

The other people around were not surprised and went under a big tree at the edge of the small square.

A group of little kids are playing skipping rope together.

Minghui was one of the group that was skipping rope. When he saw them, he abandoned his teammates who were skipping rope and ran over happily.

"Aunt, Uncle San said you wanted to go home, it's true!"

When Uncle Pei and his friends came back, he had just gone out. He was hesitant for a while whether to come over to play or wait for his aunt at the village entrance. In the end, he disliked the wet and inconvenient road at the village entrance and ran to the small square.

When little Minghui thought about this, he still felt a little guilty about abandoning his aunt.
