MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 308 Long time no see

The few people chatted and laughed and stayed at Du's house all day.

Until it was getting dark, Du Jingyi reluctantly took Brother Tai back to the general's mansion. When he left, he looked back at his parents in front of the door, feeling very sad in his heart.

Although the parents still look the same, if you look closely, there are still some lines between the eyebrows.

As the days pass, Tai Geer gradually grows up, and they gradually get older. I don’t know if it is because of the cold weather, which always makes people feel a little sad about spring and autumn.

Du Jingyi sighed and said nothing more.

Tiger in her arms seemed to sense that his mother was not in a good mood, so he snuggled into her arms quietly, neither crying nor fussing.

 Walking all the way to the General's Mansion, there was nothing special.

Unexpectedly, when he just got off the carriage, he saw someone approaching in a hurry not far away. Du Jingyi took a closer look and saw that it was her husband Shang Ji whom she had not seen for many days. Suddenly her melancholy expression became much better.

Hold Tai Geer and shouted.

 “General!”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.

Shang Ji finally rushed back in the cold night despite the heavy wind and snow. When he saw Du Jingyi and Tai Geer, his originally serious and resolute face melted away.

　I stepped forward and asked.

“But you just came back from the Du family?”

"Um."

　　"I rushed so slowly that I arrived a step late. I originally wanted to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday."

Du Jingyi asked with some surprise.

“General, do you remember?”

“Of course I won’t forget it. Last year, didn’t my wife give us ninety-nine little golden pigs? What about this year?”

Du Jingyi stretched out his hand and raised his son up, saying with a cheerful expression.

“Isn’t this year’s gift better than a little golden pig?”

Shang Ji laughed loudly when he heard this. If he hadn't been too cold, he would have wanted to hold the mother and son in his arms and give them a good kiss.

 “Let’s go, go back first and I’ll wash up before talking to you.”

 “Well, can the general eat it?”

"Nope."

“Then I asked Dan Ruo to do more, and I will accompany you to use more.”

"OK."

The two of them had endless things to say like all young couples reunited after a long absence, but Brother Tai was a little sleepy, so he hung his head on Du Jingyi's shoulder, feeling a little drowsy.

 Therefore, after returning to Xitang Courtyard, the wet nurse picked him up and said with a smile.

 "Slave, please take my brother back to bed first, and I will send him over tomorrow."

Although Du Jingyi also wanted to have a meal together as a family of three, he also knew Tai Geer's habits, so he didn't delay much, nodded and said.

 “Go, be careful not to let him get cold.”

 “Yes, young lady.”

 After Brother Tai was taken away, not long after, the sound of washing in the ear room was heard again, and the vacancy in Du Jingyi's heart was suddenly filled.

Sure enough, it would be better for this person to be less "separated", especially for a young couple like them, it's really like not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns.

Cherry looked sideways at the side, and she was also happy about the young lady who couldn't suppress it. Not to mention the madam, even she was not used to it. The general had been gone for almost two months, and the whole general It's like there's something missing in the house, something's not quite right.

 So she whispered. “Slave, please go and see how Danruo’s food is doing.”

 “Well, let’s go.”

Then she turned around and walked out the door. After a while, Shang Ji, who was steaming all over his body, came out of the penthouse.

Their house was renovated separately, so the wing room is connected to the inner room, but there is a door and a screen in the middle to block it, so that they will not have a headache after washing in the winter.

As always, Du Jingyi took a handkerchief and wiped the water stains on Shang Ji's hair, drying it bit by bit. The couple enjoyed this rare and comfortable life.

 “I thought it would be a few days before the general came back.”

"The things at hand were almost arranged. I saw that it was my father-in-law's birthday and I rushed back. Who knew it was still too late."

“Dad would be happy if he knew that the general came back specially to wish him a birthday.”

“We’ll go there again tomorrow. Although it’s a day late, it’s always good for the family to get together.”

"Um."

Du Jingyi was grateful for Shang Ji's sincerity. It was really not easy for a family like them to receive such attention and recognition, so he treated Shang Ji with even more attentiveness.

 After a while, the food from the small kitchen was delivered.

They are all Shang Ji's favorite food, and Du Jingyi brought a bowl of bird's nest soup.

“Dan Ruo said, Madam, you’d better not eat too much since you’ve already had your meal. Just finish up the bird’s nest soup. You’ll have a good sleep this way.”

Cherry explained, and then took out a charcoal-grilled venison dish from the food box and placed it specially in front of Shang Ji.

When the couple saw the deer meat, they immediately understood the intentions of the maids, especially Shang Ji. After looking at Du Jingyi with a raised eyebrow, he raised his hand and drank the glass of wine at hand.

In an instant, his body became much warmer, and his eyes became much hotter.

 Seeing this, Du Jingyi looked at Shang Ji shyly, and then laughed softly. The meaning was obvious. Tao Tao put the food down and left softly.

 The couple sat opposite each other and each had a drink.

 “It’s better to feel comfortable at home.”

It is rare for Shang Ji to say such words. If Luo Yuan, who came back with him, heard this, he would definitely sneer at it. He obviously didn't feel any discomfort when he was in the army, so why did he become comfortable at home?

Du Jingyi smiled and added.

 “It’s comfortable in the general’s home.”

Hearing this, Shang Ji looked at her and smiled, and then started to eat happily.

He never doubted Dan Ruo's craftsmanship, but the roasted venison was too obvious. Therefore, he used most of the plate with rice, which made his already warm body even warmer from head to toe. got up.

“Call your maid to come in and take it away.”

 “General, are you full?”

"full."

　　Afterwards, Cherry came in after hearing the commotion, neatly put away all the things, and also lit a stick of moon incense. The smell immediately heated up the room.

The couple haven’t seen each other for a long time, so naturally they miss each other very much.

Having just eaten, they didn't seem to have any evil thoughts, so the two of them sat under the bright window and started talking.

 “Have everything been put away?”

“Well, I put them all away two days ago, and I have been waiting for the general to come back.”

"That's good. Tomorrow I will go see my grandmother and go back to my father-in-law. The day after tomorrow, I will go to the palace to say goodbye to Your Majesty and the Queen, and then we can set off."
