Chapter 68: Still Short of Two People
On the way home, Zhang Anxiu was still somewhat displeased.
"Why did you pull me away? Letting teenagers go join the army. Back then, Shitou's mother was angered to death alive just like this!"
Chu Xun said, "That was then, this is now. At that time, there was no one to look after him in the army, and Shitou ran off secretly. Now these families are all willing, it cannot be mentioned in the same breath."
"Aren't you afraid they'll die out..." Zhang Anxiu stopped halfway through her sentence, feeling it was unlucky, and swallowed it back.
Chu Xun knew that although she had a stubborn temper and couldn't listen to his "reasoning," it was also because she worried about the children in the village.
Both of them were getting older; Chu Xun was forty-nine, and Zhang Anxiu was forty-seven.
The children in the village, starting from Qi Ermao's generation, were without exception watched growing up by the couple.
If anything really happened to any family, Zhang Anxiu would be more anxious than anyone else.
A few days later, Chu Xun went to the county yamen to attend the local gentry banquet as usual.
