Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu nervously, afraid that his wife would be reluctant to leave.

At the same time, he was also thinking about what he should do if the Young Girl was truly unwilling to leave this place.

But Dong Shu did not give him much time to think, after hearing his words, she immediately shook her head at Xu Shiqiu, and said: "How could that be?" After saying that, Dong Shu thought for a moment before continuing, "With Master, Yuanxi and Mother should be home."

Xu Shiqiu never thought that Young Girl would say something like that. In that moment, he suddenly felt his heart soften, so softhearted that he directly pulled Dong Shu into his embrace, and did not let go even after a long time.

Dong Shu did not know what was wrong with Xu Shiqiu, but being hugged by his husband made her happy.

Dong Shu decided to make a trip to the Dong Clan before she left.

However, she did not mention it before, and only thought about it after a while. Now, however, using Xu Shiqiu's words, she mentioned it today.

After Xu Shiqiu confirmed Dong Shu's intentions, he began to make arrangements.

He definitely had to give the Dong Clan a gift. Although his own Young Girl was only the Dong Clan's niece, from the expression on his face, he could guess that she had something to say when he returned to the Dong Clan.

However, after thinking for a long time, he still could not think of what his clan's Young Girl wanted to say to the Dong Clan.

Because he couldn't think of anything, Xu Shiqiu could only arrange a servant to prepare a present for the Dong Clan, waiting to go with Young Girl to the Dong Clan.

After a few more days, with Xu Family prepared as a gift for the Dong Clan, and when the Dong Clan's household was free, Dong Shu brought Xu Shiqiu, who was carrying a few things, and Xu Jie and Xu Jie, who was behind him, to head to the Dong Clan.

This time, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu had brought back a lot of things and they did not hide anything on the way.

Although every family was busy farming in the beginning of spring, there were still many villagers who wanted to watch the show after seeing Xu Family's stance.

Dong Shu was no longer as perturbed as she was last year. After entering her uncle's house, she followed her instructions and directly sat down.

"I'm afraid that my husband and I won't be coming back to the capital for a while." Dong Shu saw that her uncle looked like he wanted to say something, but hesitated. He immediately continued: "I'm not at Xiahe Village, my parents' tomb, I need to trouble uncle and Cousin to take care of it."

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu finally understood why his Young Girl would be willing to come to the Dong Clan.

"Shu'er, don't worry. Uncle will definitely remember this." When the eldest uncle of the Dong Clan thought of his younger brother's early death, he felt sad as well.

The younger brother had no son, so he would definitely worship together with his family's grandson in the future. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't even have a son to worship in the future.

Hearing his uncle's words, Dong Shu immediately stood up and bowed to him, "Then, I'll have to thank uncle."

Everyone in the Dong Clan looked at each other, wanting to say something, but they didn't know what to say.

"My wife, don't worry. The Cousin is here. If anything happens in the future, he will write to us directly." Actually, those words were not what Xu Shiqiu wanted to say the most at the moment. It was just that they were still in the Dong Clan, and there were some things that were hard to say right now.

Originally, Madame Dai was not willing to help her brother-in-law bury the grave in the future, but now that she heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she immediately came back to her senses.

had already promised Dong Lei that as long as he worked properly, he would give Dong Lei the management of all the businesses in Seaside County that belonged to the three houses of Xu Family.

When she thought about her son's future prospects, Madame Dai immediately pursed her lips, preventing herself from making any sounds of opposition.

Furthermore, Madame Dai also had a bold idea. She wanted to pass her youngest son on to her younger brother's family.

It was just that she didn't dare to bring it up right now.

No one knew what Madame Dai was thinking in that instant, but after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Lei had naturally stepped forward and promised that he would remember to pay respects to his uncles and aunts.

Dong Shu knew that Cousin was a man of his word. Since Cousin had agreed, he would definitely do it.

Finishing up about this matter, Dong Shu finally calmed down about the big matter in her heart.

After eating a meal at the Dong Clan, Dong Shu followed Xu Shiqiu and left.

After Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu left, the Dong Clan held another discussion.

The Madame Dai had just spoken out her thoughts, and just as she finished speaking, the Dong Clan Big Uncle fell silent. Dong Miao wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she decided not to speak out in the end.

"This matter is not urgent. Looking at Third Young Master's expression just now, it should be the first time I've heard that Shu'er can't be at ease with uncle and aunt's tomb. After I return today, they will definitely discuss it." Dong Lei now looked more and more like the lord of a family. After he finished speaking, he thought for a while and continued, "I'll go find the Third Young Master in two days and see what he has in mind. If he and Shu'er agree, then we'll take this opportunity before they head for the capital."

After returning home, Xu Shiqiu had indeed mentioned this matter to Dong Shu.

"My wife, why don't we wait until we give birth to our son and change our surname to yours?"

Xu Shiqiu only asked in a probing tone, he did not expect that when he finished, Dong Shu would open her eyes wide in shock, "Husband, how could you have such thoughts?"

"Of course it's because I want to have this child return to the Xiahe Village to guard the family business here. This child can also be considered to have left behind the bloodline of his parents." Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu who was speaking earnestly, and truly told Dong Shu his thoughts.

Dong Shu, she really didn't think that Xu Shiqiu would think this way.

To be honest, she still remembered the scene when her mother hugged her father and told her that she had not given birth to a son for him. It was just that her father had not only been angry, but had also spoken of her mother.

Father said, "With Shu'er, everything is worth it. In the future, if I let Shu'er take in a burden, then I'll have a grandson."

Dong Shu clearly remembered her father's words, but she didn't expect her father to follow her mother not long after she left.

She had become the orphaned daughter of her parents, so she had no choice but to live with her uncle's family.

With the protection of the Cousin, she gradually forgot about what his parents told her back then.

However, upon hearing her husband's words, she suddenly remembered.

But...

"Master, I know that you have good intentions, but I feel that this matter is unfair to the child." Although she and her husband only had Yuanxi as their only daughter and she did not know when her son would be born, she still felt that it was unfair to think of the other children that could stay with them and one of them living alone in the Xiahe Village.

"Now that we have uncle and Cousin to look after us after us, we will be fine. As for the future, let's talk about it later. I don't want to separate from my child. "

Although Dong Shu did not say that she wanted to return to Xiahe Village in the future, Xu Shiqiu still understood what she meant.

She still wanted to come back here.

Xu Shiqiu reached out and pulled Dong Shu into his embrace, "My wife, accompany me to the capital first. Once I've settled the matters there, I'll accompany you back, okay?"

Dong Shu rarely heard Xu Shiqiu use such a tone to talk to his, and after being stunned for a moment, his eyes started to feel a little sore for some reason.

Sniffing his nose, Dong Shu's head slightly moved. After that, afraid that Xu Shiqiu might not see it, he hurriedly said, "Okay, hubby is so nice."

Hearing the Young Girl say that he was good, Xu Shiqiu felt that he had actually not done enough.

To him, Xiahe Village was just a place that he had stayed in for ten years. In his twenty-six years of life, not even half of it.

But for a wife who was only sixteen this year, this was the place where she was born and raised.

However, because of what happened today, the relationship between Xu Shiqiu and himself seemed to have ascended to another level.

Even the Old Madame Xu could feel the sweetness between them.

Dong Lei had come to find Xu Shiqiu three days later, he felt that Xu Shiqiu had definitely talked to him before.

Only, he did not expect Xu Shiqiu to reject him right after he brought up this matter.

"Third Young Master, our family is really not scheming anything, it's just, it's just …" Dong Lei would usually say that since he was a shop assistant in the past and now, he was the manager.

But now, facing Xu Shiqiu, he did not know how to continue.

Seeing Dong Lei in such a difficult situation, Xu Shiqiu immediately laughed and shook his head: "I still believe you." If these were from the Madame Dai or the Dong Clan, Xu Shiqiu would suspect that they had other intentions.

However, after spending a few months with Dong Lei and seeing how he was not in charge at all and learning how he could now handle the matters of a few stores, he understood that Dong Lei was a smart person, and a person who knew how to measure himself.

Since he was a smart person and knew how to judge himself, he was truly worried for his father-in-law's mother and father's sake when he said those words today.

"I and my wife understand Cousin's intentions." Xu Shiqiu first looked at Dong Lei to speak, then looked at Dong Shu at his side. Only then, he looked at Dong Lei and continued, "I have already discussed this with my wife, so when I finish settling the matters in the capital, I will come back to Xiahe Village."

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Lei's eyes lit up.

He had never thought that his cousin would come back one day.

He thought that if they left here, they would never return to Xiahe Village.

Even if he met her in the future, he would be the one to go to the capital and report to Xu Shiqiu about the businesses there. He really did not expect that his cousin could return one day.

However, since his younger cousin would come back in the future, his family naturally didn't need to continue thinking about what they would do next.

As long as he was alive, his aunt and uncle's tomb would definitely be worshipped, and he believed that he would be able to survive for thirty years.

With this deal made, Xu Family began to prepare to return to the capital.

Xu Shiqiu finally decided to return to the capital on the sixth day of April. Otherwise, it would be April 18th on the next day, when it was appropriate to leave and not go against his family members.

April 18 was too late. With the help of the elderly and children, their return to the capital was destined to not be too fast.

If they were to depart on the sixth day of the fourth month, at least they would be able to reach the capital before the fifth month. When they reach the capital, they would need to rest for a few more days before Xu Family would be able to open the door to receive guests.

These things to pack, could be left to the servants. Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu did not need to do anything.

It was just that after he finished the morning practice, Xu Shiqiu saw the Young Girl sitting in the courtyard in a daze, staring at the pomegranate tree which already had flower buds on it.

"My wife, what happened to you?" Xu Shiqiu looked at the pomegranate tree in confusion. After not seeing anything wrong with the pomegranate tree, he looked at Dong Shu and asked, "Does my wife want to eat pomegranate now?"

"No." Dong Shu looked at the pomegranate tree and opened her mouth, after sighing for a while, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and said: "If we were to return to the capital, what about the pomegranate tree that Master personally planted for me?"

Xu Shiqiu did not expect Dong Shu to worry about this matter. He walked to Dong Shu's side with large strides, held her hand, and led her to the pomegranate tree. He embraced her and said: "My wife, this pomegranate tree will stay here, there are still servants here.

Although Xu Shiqiu said this, he was actually thinking of how he let Xu Feng and his second brother return to the capital first before planting the pomegranate tree in the capital's Shihuan Courtyard.

He had originally planned to inform the Young Girl, but for some reason, he wanted to hide it from her.

Dong Shu did not know that Xu Shiqiu had planted a pomegranate tree in the capital without telling his about it, but after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, although she was still sad, he did not say anything more.

She rested her head against Xu Shiqiu's chest, quietly listening to his heartbeat, and felt the spring that belonged to Xiahe Village.

Xu Shiqiu knew that the Young Girl was feeling sad right now. He endured for a long time, but was still unable to say anything.

He wanted to give Young Girl a pleasant surprise.
