Chapter 139: Love from Old Mother

 None of the four brothers Shen Zhiyuan went to Cheng Mansion. There were too many things going on in Cheng Mansion on the first day. Going with so many of them would cause trouble to Cheng Mansion.

  Shen Zhiyu, Shen Zhiji and Shen Zhicheng still have to go to college to study, so it is not good to ask for leave.

  Shen Zhiyuan will take the provincial examination in a few days. It is best to stay at home and not go anywhere today to avoid anything happening.

  Moreover, Shen Zhiqing will be back today. As the eldest brother, he must guard the house and wait for his younger brother to come back.

  ...

  Cheng Mansion

  Ruan Ruan followed Cheng Yurong to Cheng Mansion and met his third aunt and his newborn cousin.

  "Ruan Ruan, come and see your little cousin." Mrs. Chen was lying on the bed with a happy smile on her face, a pink bandage tied on her forehead.

  Although she had just given birth, she looked very energetic.

  "Third aunt, my little brother is so cute..." Ruan Ruan sat on the edge of the bed, looking eagerly at the swaddled baby.

  She wanted to kiss his little face and poke his little face with her hands.

  "Little brother, I am your sister. I will protect you from now on. You grow up quickly and I will take you to play..."

  The corners of the sleeping baby's mouth were slightly raised.

  Mrs. Chen was very happy after hearing what Ruan Ruan said. "He is lucky to have you as his sister."

  "Hehehe..." Ruan Ruan giggled, thinking: "Of course, I will ascend to become a god in the future."

  ...

  about noon

  More than twenty carriages appeared at the gate of the General's Mansion, lined up neatly.

  Shen Zhiqing was helped out of the carriage by Wangyou. Before he saw anyone greeting him at the door, he heard a familiar cry from behind.

  "Second brother—"

  He turned around and saw Ruan Ruan getting out of the carriage, revealing her cute little face.

  "Sister-" He ran over quickly, and the carriage immediately stopped in front of him.

  "Second brother, you are back. Ruan Ruan misses you so much." Ruan Ruan stood outside the carriage, opened his hands and jumped out.

  Shen Zhiqing immediately hugged her and said with a smile: "You little naughty...Second brother misses you too."

  "Qing'er, just come back. Everyone misses you." Cheng Yurong was helped out of the carriage by Aunt Zhou. , looked at Shen Zhiqing carefully.

  The second child had been away from home for more than five months, and for nearly half a year, she had been worried every day.

  I finally look forward to the day when the family will be reunited.

  "Mom, you have worked so hard for this family." Shen Zhiqing looked back at her mother and found that she was as beautiful and energetic as ever.

  The maids and servants shouted in unison: "Welcome the second young master to come home."

  Shen Zhiyuan was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed in front of Shen Zhiqing by Shen Su. He smiled and said, "You are back." "

  Brother, I am back, and this house will be left to me. Come on! You can take the exam in peace."

  "Okay."

  Shen

  Zhiqing returned to his residence, took a shower and changed clothes, and came to the hall half an hour later.

  At this time, the three brothers Shen Zhiyu, Shen Zhijie and Shen Zhicheng took advantage of their lunch break to go home. When they learned that their second brother was back, of course they had to go home.

  In the past, they did not go back to the General's Mansion during their lunch break, but ate in the academy.

  Because the rest time is only half an hour.

  "Second brother." The three brothers said in unison and rushed over to hug Shen Zhiqing.

  "Long time no see, you all have grown taller." He compared the heights of his three younger brothers and found that the third and fourth brothers were almost as tall as him.

  "Boy, are you tired from the journey?" Shen Hong stepped into the hall. He had just returned from the court.

  "Dad, I'm not tired." Shen Zhiqing stepped forward to greet him and was patted on the back by his father.

  "You look like you haven't lost weight. You're still quite strong."

  "Yes, Dad, I exercise regularly."     "General, the young master is very hard-working. Whatever our servants do, the young master will help him." Wangyou couldn't help but put in a good word for his young master.

  He knew that the young master had been very anxious in the past two years, thinking that he had no talent and was not as good as his brothers.

  The eldest son is good at studying, and the third son is excellent in martial arts.

  The Fourth Young Master is accomplished in the art of music, and the Fifth Young Master, although he is average in reading, is highly talented in medical skills.

  Shen Hong nodded and patted Shen Zhiqing's shoulder again. "Dad is proud of you. You have completed this task well. Dad is very pleased."

  "Dad, this is what a son should do. It is dad who benefits the people. It is the wish of great-grandfather and the wish of son."

  "Okay... ..."

  "Stop chatting, come and eat." Cheng Yurong prepared a table of fine wine and delicacies. Seeing that the two father and son were still chatting, she walked over and asked them to sit down.

  "Qing'er, this table's dishes are all made from fruits and vegetables harvested in the fields this year. Come and try the taste."

  She put fried shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and cucumber soaked in fried peanuts into his bowl.

  "Mom, sit down and eat quickly. I'll eat slowly. Don't worry."

  Shen Zhiqing could see that her mother was still in a state of excitement and urgently needed to make up for the half-year lack of maternal love and affection to him.

  He felt warm in his heart, even though he was fourteen years old and only two years short of adulthood. But in front of his mother, he will always be a child.

  "Second brother, you eat grilled sausage, it's delicious." Ruan Ruan gave him a piece of grilled sausage dipped in chili sauce.

  "What is this?" Shen Zhiqing was very curious about the sausage-like thing in the bowl. He had seen something similar in the south.

  "This is grilled sausage. It is made with pork filling. It is fried or pan-fried at the end. It is especially delicious

  when dipped in chili sauce." Shen Zhiyu explained, picking up a grilled sausage and showing off.

  Shen Zhiqing did not hesitate, took a small bite and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

  Although the chili sauce is a bit spicy, the meaty aroma of the grilled sausage just makes up for the greasiness of the grilled sausage.

  The more he ate, the better it became. He finished a sausage in one go.

  "The taste is very unique... very delicious..." He took one look at Ruan Ruan and knew that she was the one who made the sausage.

  So he didn't ask.

  "Second brother, you eat roasted sweet potatoes, this is the most delicious." Shen Zhicheng took a still warm roasted sweet potato and placed it on Shen Zhiqing's bone plate.

  "Is this the sweet potato with a yield of 11,000 kilograms per acre?" He couldn't help but curiously observed the roasted sweet potatoes on the plate.

  "Second brother, you have to break the sweet potato into two pieces and eat the inside. You can also dig it out with a spoon."

  Shen Zhicheng brought a roasted sweet potato and demonstrated how to eat the roasted sweet potato.

  Shen Zhiqing followed suit and broke open the sweet potato, finding that the texture inside was soft and squishy, ​​and a sweet fragrance wafted into his nose.

  You can tell if it tastes good just by asking about the taste.

  He took a bite of the warm sweet potato and savored it.

  I didn't have time to express my feelings, so I couldn't wait to take the second bite, and the third bite...

  until all the sweet potatoes were finished.

  "I didn't expect it to be so delicious." There was a look of enjoyment on his face.

  The Shen family couldn't help but snicker when they saw his appearance.

  "Second brother, you eat fried corn, and this bowl is corn, chestnut and pork rib soup, which nourishes the stomach." Shen Zhijie pointed to the bowl of pork rib soup in front of Shen Zhiqing, and he put a piece of fried corn on the second brother's plate.

  "Is this corn?" Shen Zhiqing looked at the corn in the bowl curiously, picked up a piece of corn with chopsticks and put it to his mouth to bite.

  A hint of sweetness soaks into your mouth.

  "This tastes really good, no wonder it's called corn."

  "The fried potato chips taste good too, and the mashed potatoes, dick, you can try it."

  Shen Hong pointed to these two dishes for Shen Zhiqing to see. Most of the meat dishes were meat. In front of the second son, this is the love from the old mother.
