Chapter 33 Yuan Shen leaves again
Yuan Shen did not return until the evening that day. After returning, he held his son in his arms and coaxed him for a while, then carried him on his back and took him out for a horse ride. At night, the father and son slept together in each other's arms.

The next morning, Yuan Shen was going to leave for the capital. He didn't want to disturb his son and leave quietly, but Yan Chaonian disagreed. "You should still explain it to him. Don't think that he doesn't understand anything just because he is young. If you explain it to him clearly, he will understand."

He woke up the sleeping kid and when he saw it was his dad, he immediately smiled sweetly, "Dad~"

Yuan Shen's heart softened when he heard the word "Dad". He squatted in front of his son and said, "Xun'er, Dad has something to tell you. Can you understand?"

The kid nodded, and Yuan Shen said, "Dad is going to take the uncles to fight the bad guys. Can Xun'er stay at home to protect Mom?"

The kid shook his head and reached out to hook Yuan Shen's neck, "Dad, no~"

Yuan Shen picked him up and said, "Xun'er is a man. When he grows up, he will fight bad guys like his father. But Xun'er is not grown up yet. Let's stay and protect mom, okay?"

"If Xun'er doesn't protect me, I will be bullied."

"Wait until Dad comes back from beating up the bad guys, then I'll take Xun'er horseback riding, okay?"

He patiently held his son and coaxed him slowly, until the people outside urged him to give his son to Yan Chaonian, "I'm sorry to trouble you again."

There was a flash of reluctance and guilt in his eyes. He had accidentally saved the Yan family that year, and learning about their experience reminded him of the past that was deeply buried in his heart. Later, as they got along together, he found that Yan Chaonian was smart, capable, and thoughtful. He could still face life with a smile after experiencing such a past, and he was also handsome.

After returning to Chengdu, Yan's mother came to ask him if he thought her Nian Nian was okay and wanted to marry her. At that time, he had no intention of getting married and having children. His mind was only thinking about making achievements and avenging his mother, so he refused without hesitation.

But Yan's mother was really powerful. After a few words, he nodded, and when he wanted to regret it, it was too late.

Later they got married, and he slowly discovered that his wife was much smarter and more pleasing than he had thought. He also began to wear clean and tidy clothes and carried two purses on his body, one of which always contained silver and the other one always contained dried meat. His lonely days became better.

Colleagues began to envy him for having a virtuous wife, and some even said sourly that he had married a woman who had been married twice, but he did not care about these. It was not easy for a man like him to have such an intelligent and beautiful wife.

What's more, it was not her fault that she was divorced. There are no good people in the Jiang family.

On the contrary, he was busy all year round and could not go home. Apart from giving her a status, he could not help her in any way and he owed her a lot.

"what happened?"

Seeing him in a daze, Yan Chaonian asked him worriedly, "But where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Is the wound still hurting?"

Yuan Shen came back to his senses, "It's okay, I just thought that you will have to take care of the family for a long time."

Yan Chaonian smiled and said, "I don't have to wash clothes and cook by myself, so it's not hard. But you, if you have already gone to war when I arrive in the capital, you must remember to be careful. The battlefield is dangerous. You have to think about Xun'er and me at home when you do anything. Without you, we will not be able to live well."

"Come back safely."

Yuan Shen nodded. Neither of the couple was a person who expressed their emotions openly, and they did more than they said.

“Dad~~Dad~~Wuwuwu~~~”

Outside the gate, the little boy started crying again as he watched the horse go away, tears falling down his face, "Dad~~Wuuuu~~~" Yan Chaonian was still able to remain calm. Yan's mother took her darling grandson and held him in her arms, and the two of them cried uncontrollably.

In the next few days, Yan Chaonian was still busy with the trip to the capital. The day before departure, Li Chun brought a package and said it was given to her by the old man of the Li family.

"Your grandpa is a stubborn person who refuses to admit defeat. He says he doesn't care but he's worried about you. This is what he prepared for you to take with you."

"What is it?"

Yan Chaonian took it curiously, and inside were two flowery books, two pieces of brocade two feet long, and a bag of silver.

She had never seen the style on the flower book before. It was more complicated than what she had seen now. She had never seen the pattern of the two-foot brocade before. It was too exquisite and smooth. It was the first time for Li Chun to see it. She didn't know that the old man had such good brocade.

Xin An sent someone to find Yan's mother. When Yan's mother came closer, she was startled and then snatched it away directly, "Where did this come from?"

"Grandpa gave it to me."

"So he still has some left."

Mother Yan's eyes immediately turned red, and she stroked it carefully, "This is your grandmother's dowry. Your great-grandmother was the best weaver. At that time, the speed of weaving brocade was very slow. A weaver could only produce two pieces of brocade a year, and both were sent to the palace."

"Your grandmother learned brocade weaving from your great-grandmother since she was a child, and her skills were even better. If she hadn't died early from illness, people like Madam Qin wouldn't dare to call herself a master in front of your grandmother."

"These two pieces of fabric were woven by your grandmother herself. They were originally one piece. The dark purple piece was exchanged for money to remarry your current grandmother."

"This piece of scarlet brocade was sold as tuition when your uncle was six years old. Unexpectedly, he cut two feet of each piece of brocade."

After his first wife passed away, she dragged her sick body to weave two pieces of the best brocade, intending to leave them for her daughter as a dowry. However, who knew that in the end her husband would use them to remarry and raise his son. At this moment, Mother Yan is resentful towards the old man.

Yan Chaonian was very sad and felt sorry for her grandmother. Li Chun was at a loss, he didn't even know such a thing happened. He couldn't straighten his back when he stood in front of his elder sister.

"Sister, me"

He didn't know what to say, and the old man didn't explain anything when he handed the package to him.

Seeing him at a loss and full of shame, Yan's mother suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and said, "I'm fine. I just thought about the past."

"My mother had a bad fate. She took medicine all day long during the two years she was sick. My father also tried his best to treat her. Later, when our family was not so well off, I didn't blame him for selling the brocade. It was all due to the situation."

She tried hard to convince herself not to complain, as it would do no good except making herself feel upset.

Yan Chaonian showed her the bag of silver again, "I can't say what grandpa is thinking, but he kept these two things for such a long time, which shows that he still misses mom in his heart."

Mother Yan said that she would keep the patterns and brocades, and that she could study them and that was also a thought. She gave the silver to Yan Chaonian and said, "That old man is just so unpopular. He keeps things in his heart and never says anything."

"You really don't even leave me any room for thought."

As soon as she left, Li Xia became upset. Yan Chaonian comforted him, "Grandpa is stubborn, and my mother is also stubborn. There is nothing we can do. But I think they are slowly changing. Everything will be fine in the future. Uncle, don't take it to heart."
