Chapter 375: Doting

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation ‘ Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Heng Yi, the head of the family, was back, so the atmosphere in the house was naturally different.

There was more laughter.

The children could also play more freely.

When Madam Jun saw Han Qiao wearing a jade hairpin, she was stunned.

Envy flashed in her heart.

This jade hairpin wasn’t priceless, but it was the kind that could make women envious.

It’s easy to get a priceless treasure, but it’s hard to get a lover.

Especially Heng Yi’s love for Yao. Her ex-husband never treated her two children like that.

They had dinner early, and the dishes were very sumptuous.

The grilled fish, roast chicken, and roasted duck were all served on the table.

The whole family was reunited and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Doctor Miao had also sent over some dishes and mooncakes, but the meat patties were still being roasted. They would have to wait until nighttime to roast until they were ready. Only then would they be fragrant.

Heng Yi held Ah-Yao and fed him little by little.

Although this child was not even one year old, he was a smart little boy who knew who loved him.

When eating, Heng Yi had to carry him, lift him up high, and play horse.

One request after another, Heng Yi satisfied him with a warm smile.

At the dining table, Madam Jun asked Heng Yi, “How’s the military camp?”

“It’s already been built. There are currently more than a thousand soldiers recruited.”

Heng Yi put down his chopsticks, “Many people signed up, but they had to wait until the fifteenth day of the eighth month before going to the military camp. These thousand people are all poor people who can’t afford to eat and have no rice to cook.”

What Heng Yi didn’t say was that Emperor Zhao Qian had sent many more people.

Craftsman, Weapon, Bow, Pig Iron, Blacksmiths….

Emperor Zhao Qian ordered people to buy thousands of servants from all over the land and send them to him.

Whether he could train them or not depended on his ability.

Whether or not he could make these people loyal would depend on his ability.

The new recruits had to work every day. They needed to build houses, move bricks, move tiles, gravel slabs, and pave houses and roads.

The daily consumption of rice was very high over there. According to Han Qiao, the latrine was the most important thing. They dug a big pit and pieced together the latrine with stones. When the time came, they could use their feces to plow the vegetables.

The houses were built in rows, and the ten houses were divided into alleys. It would be convenient to enter and exit.

The street was wide enough for four carriages to travel side by side.

The shops on both sides of the street were wide and spacious, all of them having two floors.

Stone blocks were used downstairs and wood was used upstairs. The windows were simple.

However, the shop was still under construction. Someone had already come to ask how to buy a shop.

According to Han Qiao’s instructions, Heng Yi didn’t sell those shops for the time being. He even left a few for her to open a fast-food joint, a restaurant, and an inn.

He naturally had to satisfy his wife first.

These three shops were specially built to be large. When the time came, no matter how many customers came through the doors, they would have’a place to stay.

After the reunion dinner, the family sat in the courtyard, eating tea, and mooncakes, and admiring the moon.

Madam Jun and Heng Yi were talking about Li Zhao going to the military camp for training.

“There’s no need to give him any special treatment. Whatever he wants, let him fight for it himself.”

“Alright.” Heng Yi agreed.

Seeing Ah-Yao run away, he immediately got up and went over.

Madam Jun didn’t comment about his caring heart, but it was clear to everyone.

He loved this child very much.

From his actions, one could tell how much he cared about this child.

Although he treated the other children well, it was different…

Just as Ah-Yao was about to fall, Heng Yi caught him in his arms, and he instantly giggled.

“Father, Father! Come, come!”

Heng Yi tossed him around, “Is it fun?”

“Fun! Fun! Father, fun!”

Heng Yi threw him a few more times.

Ah-Yao was so happy that he giggled and stood beside He Cheng. After a while,

he walked over and called out softly, “Father…”

Heng Yi hugged Ah-Yao and asked He Cheng, “Do you want me to throw you too?”

He Cheng nodded vigorously.

Heng Yi put Ah-Yao on the ground, picked up He Cheng, and threw him up, catching him steadily.

He Cheng screamed in fear.

But soon, he started to giggle.

Ah-Yao was also smiling.

“Father, horse! Horse!” Ah-Yao had a lot of requests.

Heng Yi doesn’t refuse. He sat the child on each shoulder and ran around the yard with them.

Han Qiao looked on and smiled gently.

Heng Yi doesn’t talk much, but he dotes on the children.” Madam Jun said.

Han Qiao agreed with Madam Jun.

Heng Yi doted on Ah-Yao, “He became a father at twenty-five. He might only have this child in his life.”

“You don’t plan to have more children?” Madam Jun was surprised.

How could Han Qiao and Heng Yi only have one child?

“He probably doesn’t want me to give birth anymore and is secretly taking medicine.” Han Qiao sighed.

Today, in the bathroom, Heng Yi was burning with desire, but he might still be taking his medicine.

Madam Jun was stunned..
