In the residence of Wuyi Lane…

Tong Sanniang still cooked a table of exquisite dishes, but unlike the last reception, today she seemed a little worried for some reason and often lost her mind.

Little An'an tilted her head and looked at her distracted mother and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"Um?"

Hearing this, Tong Sanniang also recovered from her dazed state and said with a smile: "Mother, nothing is wrong."

"There must be."

Little An'an murmured: "My mother was fine when I went to see Uncle Ji this morning, but after Uncle Ji left, she became a little distracted."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Hearing this, Tong Sanniang glared at her with some embarrassment and said, "Mother is just thinking about something. How can she be as distracted as you said?"

"Oh well…"

The little girl pursed her lips, but still asked without giving up: "Did Uncle Ji bully my mother?"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"That means Uncle Ji is making my mother unhappy!"

"..."

Tong Sanniang felt a little embarrassed and wanted to educate her daughter who was talking nonsense, but when she saw her stubborn eyes, she felt her heart tremble and she couldn't help herself.

She pinched An An's little cheek and said very seriously: "An An, you have to remember that your Uncle Ji is a good man, and he is also the benefactor of our mother and father...

He did not bully my mother, nor would he bully her, nor did he make her angry. No matter now or in the future, An An, you should not doubt your Uncle Ji."

Her voice was gentle, but her tone was full of unquestionable certainty.

"..."

The little girl seemed to notice and heard the seriousness of her mother's words. She nodded immediately and responded obediently: "Mother, don't be angry. An An will remember it."

"Mother is not angry..."

Tong Sanniang looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Your Uncle Ji should be back soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door from outside.

"Uncle Ji is really back."

Little An'an's eyes lit up when she heard the noise outside the door, and she ran to open the door with her little legs.

Tong Sanniang hesitated but did not follow.

Following some footsteps, she saw Ji Bochang stepping into the door with An An in his arms, and An An was holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand. The little girl's eyes turned into crescents when she smiled.

She was happy in her heart, but she still put on a strict mother's attitude and scolded: "An'an, you are already a big girl, why do you still need Uncle Ji to hold you?"

"Sister-in-law, don't blame her..."

Ji Bo often sat down at the dinner table and said with a pointed smile: "In our eyes, she will always be a little girl who has not grown up."

"Just spoil her."

"That's~"

After Tong Sanniang had prepared the rice, she saw him serving An An another dish and telling her what she had seen today. They were like a father and daughter who loved each other. She was happy but also a little sad at the same time.

Like it or not, after all, they are not really father and daughter, and they also have the life they want.

She thought about everything that happened during the day...

Especially when he said that he wanted to find someone to help introduce a few Taoist companions, for some reason, he always felt an inexplicable sense of sourness and loss in his heart.

She pursed her lips and asked in a nonchalant manner: "Bo Chang, have you gained anything from today's trip?"

"Hmm~"

When Ji Bo Chang heard this, he paused while picking up the vegetables. Then he seemed to have thought of something, nodded and said with a smile: "It's actually something worthwhile."

"oh?"

When Tong Sanniang heard him say that there was a gain, her heart trembled, and then she asked with a forced smile: "What gain?"

"That's a lot."

Ji Bochang said like he was counting treasures: "After selling the elixir, I not only bought enough spiritual plants for me to refine the elixir for half a year, but also bought a piece of "Pui Yuan Gong" and a set of elementary small lost formations.

And a set of elementary small spirit-gathering formation flags to assist in practice."

"..."

Tong Sanniang blinked her eyes and asked, "What else?"

"No more."

"Didn't you say you were going to find someone from Mo Yunxuan to help introduce some Taoist companions?"

"There is such a thing..."

Ji Bochang nodded and said calmly: "The shopkeeper of Mo Yunxuan said that he knows a few matchmakers, but it's getting late today. I'll ask the matchmakers to help me arrange it tomorrow."

"..."

Tong Sanniang's breath froze when she heard this, and her heart that had just let go suddenly felt empty again.

Uncle Ji smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, what can I do?"

Tong Sanniang smiled dryly and said, "I was a little stunned when I heard you bought so many things."

"That's fine. After dinner, you'll have to trouble my sister-in-law and me to decorate our yard."

"In fact, there is no need to waste those spiritual stones."

"How?"

Ji Bochang said seriously: "After all, this is our permanent home. Setting up a guarding formation to act as a facade will also make people less gossipy."

"Our usual...home..."

Tong Sanniang was slightly absent-minded, and then she smiled sincerely and said, "Okay, let's arrange it together after dinner."

He still has his own home now, but if he really marries a Taoist monk in the future, will he still have a home?

Thinking that it was rare to meet such a good person in the spiritual world, a good person who was unconditionally good to herself and her children, but later became someone else's Taoist companion and the father of someone else's child, she felt that the table of dishes in front of her was all

No taste...

"By the way, sister-in-law."

Ji Bochang seemed to have thought of something, and took out five middle-grade spiritual stones from his storage bag and placed them on the table in front of her.

Then he said to himself while cooking, "The spiritual stones from last time should have been used up. It's not easy for you to support a family by yourself. Let's get some for pocket first."

"..."

"Because I bought a lot of things this time, I don't have many spiritual stones in my hand. You can use them first."

"..."

"When the next batch of elixirs are refined, we should have more spiritual stones on hand. Then we can buy some things for the family, and some robes and robes for you and An An."

"..."

Tong Sanniang stared at him blankly. The more she looked like this, the more sour she felt in her heart...

"Right!"

Ji Bochang seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly raised his head and said with a serious face: "There is something else I want to trouble my sister-in-law."

"Um?"

Tong Sanniang also came to her senses and asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

"The matchmaker will definitely introduce me to a girl tomorrow."

Ji Bochang smiled shyly like an innocent little virgin, and said slightly embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, can you come with me and help me palm my eyes?"

"..."

Seeing that he looked as shy as a big boy, Tong Sanniang burst out laughing and said, "You, how can you bring your sister-in-law to a meeting with a girl?"

"Ah? No?"

"Definitely not possible..."

"Oh well…"

Ji Bochang curled his lips in disapproval, and then muttered to himself: "The main reason is that I have never seen that kind of scene, and I am afraid that people will look down on me, and it will be embarrassing if I can't get off the stage."

Tong Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled, joking in a teasing tone: "Then if I go with you, you can get off the stage?"

"Isn't that right?"

Ji Bochang analyzed it seriously: "My sister-in-law is as beautiful as a fairy, so she came to stand next to me. First of all, our momentum came up...

Secondly, women understand women best.

If those girls are picky about me, my sister-in-law can give me advice and teach me how to deal with it.

Thirdly, if the girl likes me, she won't care about my sister-in-law. If she doesn't like me, my sister-in-law's "power" won't stop me from stepping down.

All in all, if my sister-in-law can be by my side, I will feel confident that even if we don’t get along, it’s because I don’t like her.”

His voice paused, then he sighed, shook his head, and muttered: "What a pity..."

"..."
