MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 541 While in Tokyo

Chapter 541 Staying in Beijing

 “Where are Tiger Tiger and the others, why haven’t they come over yet?”

Master Du asked appropriately, and Du Jingyi explained.

“The class hasn’t finished yet, so the fourth aunt and Cousin Zhao are waiting at home until the master is over before coming over. Otherwise, if you miss the class, the master will slap you on the palm of your hand.”

 “So severe?”

“It’s good to be strict. It’s not like dad doesn’t know that those skinny monkeys are very difficult to discipline. It’s weird for brothers to avoid falling out together. Naturally, they need to find a strict master to control them.”

Of course Mr. Du feels sorry for his grandchildren, but he also knows that it is time for children at such an old age to set rules and discipline them, otherwise it will be difficult to correct them when they grow up. Therefore, he still feels sorry for them, and they still have to complete their schoolwork.

 Later, Du Jingyi did not forget to add another sentence.

"Brother Yun is still stable and good at studies. He has gone to several classes. The master even told me privately that this kid is a good student. He can sit still and learn well. He is probably like my brother-in-law. Bar."

Parents are always happy when their children are praised by others, so Du Jingxiang and He Shilin both looked at Brother Yun with happy expressions on their faces.

Brother Yun felt a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head and smiled lightly, and said no more.

With them here, the atmosphere was lively, but it was still lacking. When Tai Geer and his brothers arrived, it was as if there were dozens more people in the room, chattering endlessly.

He Shilin probably didn't expect the children of Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi to be so noisy, so he was shocked as he watched the brothers playing tricks on each other.

 At the end, he quietly said something to Du Jingxiang.

“I thought the children would be more like General Gu, who also has a stable temper.”

"For such older children, it's difficult for them to be stable, but I see that Brother Ming's temperament is quite serious. Unlike Brother Wen, he is just a little troublemaker. My husband doesn't know that before you came here. , he is quite famous among the children in Sui'an City."

He Shilin nodded, convinced of his wife's words.

With them here, even Brother Yun became a lot more lively. He Shilin looked at the children's childish talk and felt better.

But at the dinner table, the children's rules gave him a new understanding.

Even though they were making a lot of noise, they were very good at following the rules. He Shilin looked at them and felt that after all, they were children who grew up in noble families like the Gu family, and the He family could not compare with them.

 Therefore, the children have not yet felt inferior to themselves, but he has some self-pity first.

Du Jingxiang felt her husband's discomfort, so he gave him food appropriately, and then smiled, which was very comforting.

 After the meal, Mr. Du said thoughtfully.

"You are tired after a long journey. Go back and rest first. The children will play for a while and then they will be sent back."

He Shilin was indeed feeling uncomfortable, so he was not polite to them. He stood up, saluted and returned to Quxi Courtyard.

Du Jingxiang accompanied him, and the couple were still filled with emotion when they returned to the main house of Quxi Courtyard. "Last time I came here, you were just pregnant. How old are our children now? Time is not forgiving."

Du Jingxiang changed his clothes and asked someone to put water on him for a bath later.

“Who says it’s not the case? Seeing that the children are getting older, we are getting older too.”

"Speaking of aging, I see my father-in-law and mother-in-law are in good spirits, especially my mother-in-law. She has not changed after all these years. She is still the same as before, but her temper is a little gentler. Look at the way she looks at the children. So soft."

"Yeah, fortunately, the two elders are in good spirits, otherwise I, a daughter who married far away, would feel guilty. Husband, you don't even know. When I came back this time, I looked at the white hair they had and felt very unhappy. Come on, after this time, I don’t know when I’ll see you next time.”

Du Jingxiang said it sadly, and He Shilin sighed after hearing it.

"Don't say it's you, even I feel in a daze sometimes. But seeing that you guys are here this time, the three of you are much more relaxed than when you were in Pingzhou, especially the two children. I look at the relationship with Jingyi. It’s quite good.”

“Tangtang loves them so much that he would like to pick off the moon in the sky and give it to them. Naturally, they have a very good relationship.”

"I look at it coldly. Children still have to live in a place like Sui'an City in order to develop some skills. Look at that small place in Pingzhou. I'm afraid that the children will follow us and be wronged."

His words reminded Du Jingxiang of what his mother had mentioned a few days ago, so he hesitated to speak.

He Shilin saw it, so he patted the back of her hand and said.

“You and I have been married for many years, what else can’t we say? What’s wrong?”

Du Jingxiang did not hide anything and repeated what Mrs. Du had said to her a few days ago. After hearing this, He Shilin fell silent.

He naturally knew that his mother-in-law had good intentions, and that staying here was the best choice for the children's future. However, He Shilin was somewhat reluctant to let them leave home at such a young age, so he also started to sigh.

"It's all because I'm a bad husband and I don't have the ability to be promoted. Otherwise, if I could go to Sui'an City to become an official like those colleagues, our children wouldn't have to suffer this parting."

Du Jingxiang knew her husband's heartache, so he would not joke with him about it, so he comforted him softly.

"Don't think so much. If you are really the kind of person who knows how to cheat, I'm afraid the children will follow your example. So there is nothing wrong with us as a family. It's just what my mother said. I really don't think so. I'm thinking that my husband doesn't know that Brother Yun has learned a lot in the General's Mansion these days. Even if we pay a lot of money, we can't invite the wife to Pingzhou. So, I think if it's really for My child's future is only true if he obeys my mother's words."

He Shilin didn't know why, but he still had trouble getting over this hurdle, so he waved his hand and said.

 “Think about it again, let’s talk about this again after my birthday.”

Seeing that Mr. Du's birthday was coming up in just two days, and there were many things going on at home, Du Jingxiang didn't say anything more.

The couple were thinking about this matter, and Mr. Du and Mrs. Du were also idle.

While the children were playing, I started talking to Du Jingyi again.

"Your brother-in-law looks very different this time than before. He always feels that things are not going well for him and his luck is also bad. Look at the way he talks and does things. He is very different from Shao Yu. I think, if there is If we have the chance, our family can buy him a smaller official position in Sui'an City."
