Chapter 324
Chapter 324
After Qin Xingfu finished educating the child, the First Emperor stood up and said.
"It's getting late, let's go back!"
Fusu stood up and followed, Qin Xingfu touched the children's heads, and Qin Ci asked only after he saw them go far away.
"Mom, why?"
Normally my mother would not talk to me outside, but today it seemed like she did it on purpose.
“This is a rare opportunity!”
Qin Xingfu touched his head. In fact, some of his words were meant for the children as well as for the First Emperor and the others. People who have been at the pinnacle of power for a long time are still very suspicious. Now the people in their family are not so free. There are always people watching in the dark. Several older children already know that beneath the seemingly prosperous appearance of their home, there are some looming crises.
Qin Ci and Qin En looked in the direction where the First Emperor and his companions had left, their eyes blinking. At only five or six years old, they seemed to understand something.
"Don't think too much. Is there anything else you want to buy? If not, let's go home."
Qin Xingfu touched their faces, and the two children now withdrew their gaze and stood up obediently.
"Mom, come home!"
Qin Xingfu gave the tea shop owner the money for the tea and took the two little ones home. But after walking a short distance, his feet started to hurt so he called a carriage to take him home.
"We're back!"
As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, Qin Ci couldn't help but yell. Qin Shan and Qin Chuan had just finished exercising. He saw that they came back almost empty-handed and no one was following them.
"Mom, you've been out for so long, didn't you buy anything?"
Without waiting for Qin Xingfu to speak, Qin Ci happily talked about what they had done today.
"We didn't buy anything today, Third Brother and Fourth Brother. We gave all the money our mother gave to the Children's Bureau, so we went out to eat something. Today we went shopping with the Emperor and His Majesty..."
Qin Xingfu went with them. When she saw Yinghou coming out to pick her up, she stood there with her arms open. Seeing her like that, Yinghou knew that she was tired.
"My Lord, you must be tired after a day. Let me carry you. The children's birthday party is ready."
Qin Xingfu chuckled and jumped directly onto Yinghou's back. Qin En pulled Qin Chuan and said.
"Fourth brother, I want to carry it too!"
"I'm sweating."
Qin Chuan just wanted to take a shower now, and Qin En didn't mind.
"Don't be afraid, Fourth Brother doesn't stink!"
Qin Chuan had no choice but to squat down and hug her, and Qin Enxi smiled happily.
"Hehe...Thank you, Fourth Brother. You are so nice. We visited many places today, and I walked most of the way by myself."
Qin Ci and Qin Shan heard her nonsense and Qin Ci wanted to refute her. She had been acting coquettishly and asking the emperor or His Majesty to hold her along the way. How could she have the nerve to say that she walked on her own? Qin Shan touched Qin Ci's head.
"Xiaoci was awesome today!"
"That's right. What we did today was meaningful. Third brother, let me tell you in secret. Today, my sister was scolded by my mother in public."
"Ahh...Qin Ci, shut up!"
When Qin En heard that his brother was going to expose his shortcomings, he was so angry that he slid down from Qin Chuan and was about to beat him. Qin Ci saw that the situation was not good and quickly slipped away.
"stop!"
"Don't run!"
The brother and sister started chasing each other, and Qin Shan and Qin Chuan watched them and asked them to run slower.
"Slow down, don't fall."
Qin Xingfu and Yinghou looked back and saw the two children passed by like a gust of wind. They said in unison.
"Watch your step! Don't fall."
"it is good!"
Qin Xingfu lay on Ying's back, becoming more and more lazy.
"I really don't like going out anymore. My feet hurt after walking for a day."
"Then soak in some hot water tonight, and I'll give you another massage."
In the past two years, she seemed to be getting more and more lazy, and he liked it anyway.
"Hey, you guys just spoil me. I have some fat on my belly now. I used to exercise a little bit, but now you guys feed me a lot when I take a break. I've gained weight."
Qin Xingfu couldn't believe that she has been here for twenty years. She has gained some weight now and feels that her endocrine system is a little disordered. She feels that she is about to enter menopause.
"It's rare for you to come back to rest, why are you working so hard? And, where have you gained weight?"
There are many people in Daqin who are more plump than her, and many women even keep themselves plump. It is only the adults who are too strict with their figures and insist on having such a perfect figure.
"You two are like lovers who see beauty in everything. If I get as fat as a ball someday, I'm afraid you won't be able to carry me on your back."
"Then I'll practice more. Look, I'm not out of breath at all when I carry you on my back."
While they were talking, they arrived at the restaurant. Qin Xingfu saw De Ning, Han Su and the others were there, so he immediately slid off Ying Hou.
"You're all here. Why did you spend so much money to prepare birthday gifts for them?"
People always pretend to be busy when they are embarrassed. Ying Ni and Han Su covered their mouths and laughed, their eyes full of envy. Qin Xingfu looked at Ying reproachfully, saying it was all his fault for not telling them. He was old and it would be embarrassing if the children saw him.
After winning, I dote on Xiaoxiao.
"Mom, can we start now?"
Qin En blinked his big eyes, staring intently at the table filled with beautifully wrapped gift boxes. His little hands rubbed unconsciously, his face full of anticipation and eagerness.
"Okay, darling, today is your big day, of course you have the final say!" Qin Xingfu responded with a smile on her face, and then she completely handed over the main field to the children, and slowly walked to the side and sat down. At this time, the careful Mi Fu saw the beads of sweat on her forehead, and quickly picked up an exquisite fan and gently fanned her to bring a burst of coolness. And Xuhe also thoughtfully picked up a cup of brewed fragrant tea and respectfully handed it to Qin Xingfu.
"Okay! Brother, come here quickly!"
Qin En was very excited after getting her mother's approval, and she quickly called out to Qin Ci who was not far away. Hearing her sister's call, Qin Ci ran to her side and stood still. At this moment, the brothers Qin Shan and Qin Chuan had already changed into a new set of beautiful clothes, and came over talking and laughing.
Qin En looked around and found that except for Uncle Yingbu and Father Yue Xin, the rest of the family had already gathered together, waiting for this special moment. Gongshu Yuan held a match and carefully lit the colorful candles in the center of the birthday cake. The candlelight flickered, reflecting everyone's smiling face.
After everything was ready, the two cute little guys closed their eyes obediently, put their hands together in front of their chests, and silently made beautiful wishes in their hearts. Their expressions were focused and pious, as if the whole world belonged to them at this moment. Time passed by minute by minute, and soon, two pairs of bright eyes slowly opened.
"Okay, brother, we can finally cut the cake!" Qin En shouted excitedly. Her clear and pleasant voice echoed in the air like a silver bell, instantly attracting everyone's attention. She jumped to her brother's side, holding his hand tightly, with an extremely bright smile on her face.
Just like that, under the affectionate and loving gazes of everyone, the lovely brother and sister, like two happy elves, walked hand in hand with brisk steps towards the birthday cake that exuded a charming aroma.
When they came to the cake, the brother carefully picked up the knife while the sister stood by and waited happily. Then, the brother and sister worked together to cut the cake. Although their movements were a little unfamiliar, they were full of childlike innocence and warmth.
After the first piece of cake was successfully cut, the two handed it to Qin Xingfu who was sitting next to them without hesitation. Qin Xingfu took the cake with a smile, tears of emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Thank you, my babies. It's not hard for mom. As long as I see you grow up healthy and happy, everything I do is worth it." As she said this, she gently stroked the children's hair.
"Mom, you've worked hard!" Qin En said obediently, and Qin Xingfu gently embraced her daughter. At this time, her brother also said, "Mom, when I grow up, I will take good care of you and your sister." Hearing this, Qin Xingfu smiled even more happily.
Then, the brother and sister divided the cake among Gongshu Yuan, who took the cake and nodded with satisfaction.
"My dears, you are already six years old this year and have become real big kids! I hope you will be happy every day in the future. Dad will always be with you as you grow up."
Looking at the two innocent children in front of him, Gongshu Yuan couldn't help but recall the difficult days in the past. At that time, the pressure of life almost made him want to give up, but every time he saw the innocent smiles of the children, he felt that all his efforts were worth it. Now, the children are gradually growing up and becoming sensible, and he feels that his efforts have not been in vain.
"it is good!"
Next, the brother and sister started to act separately with great joy. The sister was like a cheerful little bird, flitting among the crowd, expressing her sincere gratitude to every friend and relative who came to congratulate her with her sweet voice; while the brother showed the manliness and responsibility, delivering exquisite cakes to everyone in an orderly manner.
After all the guests had tasted the cake, the brother and sister gathered together again. At this time, a bowl of steaming longevity noodles was served. The noodles were thin and chewy, the soup was rich and fragrant, and it was dotted with green chopped green onions and fresh coriander. The brother and sister smiled at each other, then picked up the chopsticks together and enjoyed this bowl of longevity noodles that symbolized happiness and well-being with relish. At this moment, the hustle and bustle around them seemed to fade away, leaving only the warm picture of them accompanying each other, forever frozen in the long river of time.
