Chapter 565: What is your name?
All it took was an oath, and in the end the little guy finally accepted the fact that his surname was Chen with some doubt.
But then the problem came again:
"But mother, A Yuan's surname is He Chen. Grandma Peng said that she took after Grandpa He; A Liang's surname is Xie. He said that his grandfather, father, brother, sister, and sister are also named Xie. But his adoptive father's surname is not Shen. Ah Rong's brother's surname is also Shen! Did he take after his adoptive father? Did his adoptive father take after Grandpa Shen? Then why isn't Ah Ma's surname Shen? Who did Ah Ma follow? "
After she finished speaking, she still had an unhappy expression on her face, pouting and staring at Zhou Heng, waiting for her answer.
There was silence at the dinner table. Aunt Peng held her daughter in her arms without saying a word. She looked at Zhou Heng expectantly, waiting for her answer.
Zhou Heng originally wanted to tell Ah Man to keep his last name a secret, but unexpectedly the little guy had another problem.
But now if he changes his name to Shen, Ah Man will definitely not believe him anymore, not to mention Ah Man doesn't have much feelings for Shen Fu, his adoptive father whom he has only met a few times.
Zhou Heng was a little worried. It was hard to fool the child when he was older. So either:
"Let's see, Ah Ma, Mom thinks you are too young now. For this reason, let's wait until your adoptive father comes back and then ask him personally, okay?" "Then when will the adoptive father come back?" The little guy still pouted as he looked at it. With a look of displeasure:
"My foster father is still leading troops to fight outside."
"It should be soon, right? Let's wait." Zhou Heng smiled helplessly. Since Master Shen said that neither the Northern Road nor the Northeast Road will follow the third princess, can Shen Fu feel relieved? Isn't that right? Does it mean that the situation is starting to turn on your side?
"Yes, yes, yes, listen to your mother, let's wait a little longer!" Master Shen, as always, did not express personal opinions on such trivial matters, and just laughed beside him...
As a result, I had to wait for three full years.
In the past three years, Ah Ma and Xie Liang have grown into adults who make Chuntao worry about not having enough rice and noodles all day long, while Ah Yuan has become a beautiful little girl that everyone loves, with a pink and tender face that makes Zhou Heng always get better and better. The more guilty I feel.
Alas, it's a pity that Uncle He couldn't see such a lovely baby girl.
Chunying gave birth to her and Guard Bian's first daughter, and the little girl quickly became the group favorite of the other four bachelor uncles of Huben Guard, and also became A Yuan's favorite little sister.
At this point, the adults have completely given up on calling the children according to their seniority. How do you let a little girl like A Yuan, who has just found her feet, call herself "aunt" in an old-fashioned way? Forget it, the children are about the same age, so just treat her as "aunt". It's brothers and sisters, after all, it's just the past two years, so rare!
Zhou Heng looked at the brothers and sisters in the courtyard and felt sorry for the few Tiger Guards who had been loyally guarding Ah Man but wasted their time. He once wanted to match Chuntao with one of them. Unfortunately, the four bachelor Tiger Guards learned about it. They all expressed that they had no intention of starting a family for the time being, and Chuntao had no intention of them either, so the matter ended up being dropped.
In addition, the small town life in the past three years has been like a peach blossom garden, leading a carefree life.
Of course, this carefreeness is only for the children, especially the two eldest children, Ah Man and Xie Liang. In addition to studying with Master Shen, several guards learned some self-defense skills and went to the school together after school. Playing everywhere outside.
Zhou Heng was a little worried at first, but later he discovered that Taiyuan had become a rare place to escape from war, and there were several Tiger Guards who had been protecting them closely, so he gradually relaxed his restraint on the two children.
At first Master Shen disagreed, but could not withstand Zhou Heng's persuasion:
"Master, the world is in chaos now. Instead of living in panic all day long, it is better to face it calmly and live happily every day. The future of Ah Ma and Ah Ni is unknown. When they grow up, they will also be people with heavy responsibilities. That's the case. , let’s try our best to give them a wonderful childhood. Days like this are rare, and we don’t know how many are left, don’t you think?”
"Yes," Master Shen finally agreed with a smile:
"Miss Zhou, you still have a clear mind. With the current situation, we don't know who will win, and we don't know what will happen tomorrow. In this case, it is better to live well in the present and treat it with a normal heart!"
So the two energetic boys, after promising to study hard with Grandpa Shen who would follow them, and practice riding and shooting with Guard Bian and others, they quickly changed their clothes and went out after school every day, completely ignoring what was behind them. Two little sisters were stumbling around, crying and shouting to follow.
In the summer of the second year after returning to the small town of Taiyuan, Xie Liang happily learned how to drink water from Ah Man. After that, the two of them sneaked into the small river outside the town and soaked in the water with a group of local children when they had free time. , so much so that Zhou Heng once had to pretend to go to the river with a stick in order to catch them both back.
For this reason, Ah Man even found an excuse to plead with Zhou Heng:
"Mom, I'm teaching Aniang how to do artificial respiration!"
Zhou Heng pretended to say a few words with a straight face, that's all. After all, this can be regarded as a survival skill. For this reason, after returning home, he was taught by Master Shen with a smile:
"You have such a motherly heart!"
Zhou Heng also agreed with a smile, but he cursed in his heart:
If I hadn't been able to swim, I would have fed the fish in Liuhu Lake!
After two summers in Xiaohe, the Kuangzheng army led by Shen Fu finally regained the last place to follow the three princesses - Gyeonggi Province and arrived outside the capital.
And when the spring of another year came and the flowers bloomed, the two children had just begun to fish in the unblocked water of the glacier. The regent, who had been besieged the capital for several months, finally agreed to open the city gate and follow Shen to the begging of the officials. Return to "peace talks".
Of course, the so-called peace talks were conditional. Shen Fu was asked to bring the fourth prince into the palace, and she needed to confirm in person whether he was her nephew.
At the same time, there is an additional condition: she also wants to meet the resurrected Miss Zhou.
So on an otherwise ordinary early summer morning, Zhou Heng endured the panic in his heart and finished his breakfast. He looked at the child walking toward him with sunshine all over his body in melancholy. The little kid was now almost as tall as himself.
She took a deep breath, stepped forward to hold his hand, tried her best to smile, and spoke to him clearly word by word:
"That's right, we don't have to go to class today. Mom has something to tell you. Grandpa Shen and the others will come over as well."
"Ama, mother once told you that when your adoptive father comes back, he will tell you personally why his surname is Shen and your surname is Chen. Your adoptive father will come to pick us up at Mao tomorrow!"
"You also know that Mom has been looking forward to meeting your adoptive father as soon as possible. But before that, Mom wants to tell you two things."
"The first thing is, Ah Ma. From now on, you will no longer be Ah Ma. The name Ah Ma was given to you by your mother. Your real name is actually Feng He, Feng Harvest, Harmony. of and.”
The tears finally couldn't help but fall:
Chapter completed!
