The street was full of lights, Zhang Yan rushed home for a while, couldn't wait to see Xue'er, the moment he opened the door, he saw Zhang Xue in the courtyard, and rushed over, his excitement couldn't be calmed down, and he shouted: "Xue'er-brother is back!"

Zhang Xue, who was looking at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, heard a familiar voice, turned around and saw Zhang Yan, the brother who had not been seen for a long time was back, and ran over happily, was hugged tightly by Zhang Yan, snuggled in his arms, and said complainingly: "Brother, you are finally back, your father and mother are worried about you!"

Zhang Yan smiled and didn't speak, as long as it was for Xue'er's good, it didn't matter what happened, but she was a little sad in her heart, since Xue'er followed that dead ghost, her body temperature was cold, and she felt that it was not good to go on like this. Looking down at her, he asked, "Hasn't the ghost brother come back yet?"

Zhang Xue shook her head and said, "Grandma and Brother Ghost have no news, and they don't even have a flying pigeon. ”

Zhang Yan smiled and touched her little head, and said: "How can there be a flying pigeon to pass the book this year, that is a thing of the past, now it is all a quick whip to send a letter, get a flying pigeon to pass the book, this pigeon did not fly far, it was beaten down and roasted." ”

Zhang Xue smiled in Zhang Yan's arms: "Haha—"

Suddenly, a stern shout: "Zhang Yan—" interrupted the moment of the brother and sister's reunion.

Zhang Yan looked at his mother standing at the door, he hadn't seen him for a long time, there were a few more gray hairs in his hair, his face was a lot haggard, and the whole person was emaciated. Watch her come over angrily, close your eyes, and let her be at her disposal.

Huang Nianzhu grabbed the thin shoulder, looked at him carefully, saw that he was just thin and uninjured and relieved, hugged him into his arms, and said distressedly: "My child, you are finally back, you said to leave, ran away from home, and didn't even bring back a letter, now there is chaos outside, in case something happens, how can you let me live?!" let go of his hand, and carefully read it over and over again, for fear of missing it.

Hot tears fell on his immature face, Zhang Yan lowered his head, his eyes were red, he knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed to him: "I'm sorry, mother." ”

Huang Nianzhu pulled up the child distressedly, looked at Zhang Yan's dirty clothes, his little hands were rough, and he muttered: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, it's good to come back, it's good to come back, I've suffered a lot outside, hurry up and go into the house to rest, my mother will make food for you!"

Zhang Yan opened his mouth and said, "Mother...", but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, looking at his mother's figure and hurriedly walking to the kitchen.

Zhang Xue took his hand, took him to the room, and asked, "Okay, brother, it's time for you to take a bath, did you come back from begging all the way?"

Zhang Yan said: "Uh... Absolutely not! Brother just ran all the way back, and accidentally fell, so he was so embarrassed! Brother was doing chores in a restaurant in the county town, and received a lot of oceans, wait for my brother to show you!" After speaking, he immediately ran back to the room and closed the door, looking at the person in the glasses, he was really like a beggar.

In the pavilion, Mo Qing sat there alone, looking at the sky and speechless, until Bingzhi came over, he said, "Why did you come back?"

Bingzhi saluted: "The subordinates came back with Zhang Yan to see the master. ”

Mo Qing looked back at Bingzhi and said faintly, "Can you find what you are missing?"

Bingzhi lowered his head and said, "My subordinates are ignorant and haven't found it. ”

Mo Qing glanced at Bingzhi and said, "Since you haven't found it, what are you going to do when you come back?"

Bingzhi sighed slightly: "What are you looking for? What do I need on that kid?"

In the kitchen, Huang Nianzhu was happy in her heart, washing rice and cooking rice diligently, and Huang Limei was also sitting next to her and slowly washing vegetables.

Huang Limei looked at her sister with a smile, and her heart was also happy, and said: "Look at you, my nephew is back, that's good, it's a good thing that there is no one to loot in our poor and remote place." ”

Huang Nianzhu put oil on the heat, put the fish in the pot, and responded: "No, he is definitely not allowed to go out this time, and there must be a limit to running away from home!"

Huang Limei smiled and said: "Is it that Xue'er has been stimulated to become a monk? This sister married early, and her heart as an elder brother will always be uncomfortable and react normally." ”

Huang Nianzhu frowned slightly, it was indeed true as she said, Zhang Yan was dissatisfied with Zhang Xue's marriage to Mo Qing and ran away from home.

Huang Limei stood up with the vegetable basket, walked over with her stomach straight, and asked, "Why haven't you seen Mo Qing recently?" It seems that it has been a while. ”

The spatula in Huang Nianzhu's hand turned the body of the fish and said, "Mo Qing, he went out and said that he wanted to do some small business." "Since Zhang Xue's accident, Mo Qing has not appeared in the eyes of everyone, and occasionally encounters it.

Huang Limei said the worries in her heart: "Go far away? Sister, if my sister says something that you don't like, it won't be an escape, right? ”

Huang Nianzhu put down the seasoning, lowered his head and said, "No, Mo Qing will not abandon Xue'er." The tone was unwavering.

Neither of them knew that the conversation just now was listened to word by word by Mo Qing, who was passing by.

In the room, Zhang Yan took out things from his baggage, and he was careful when he picked them up, for fear of damaging them.

Zhang Xue calculated the time, pushed the door in, looked at what her brother was doing, walked over quickly, and said, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Zhang Yan took out a silver bracelet and handed it to Zhang Xue and said, "Xue'er, look, isn't it beautiful?"

Zhang Xue took the silver bracelet, nodded and said, "Well, it's so good-looking, bracelet necklace, hairpin, clothes, rouge gouache... Brother, why do you buy so many things for girls' families?"

Zhang Yan said: "It's all bought for Xue'er and her mother, and this is a good product for people in the city." "Pick out the jewelry and clothes for Cher.

Zhang Xue picked up a skirt with flowing yarn and said, "I also have clothes? What kind of clothes is this? It's so beautiful?"

Zhang Yan said happily: "This is a dress, a dress worn by foreign women, what kind of dress is it called and what is it called a court dress, oops, it's a good thing anyway, hurry up and try it!"

Zhang Xue nodded "um", took the clothes and walked behind the screen, studied how to wear this skirt, and soon put on the dress, but... Why is it loose in the back?

A voice came from his ears: "Don't move." ”

Cold fingers ran across his skin, the ribbon behind him was slowly tightened, and the dress fit perfectly.

Zhang Xue turned to look at Mo Qing in front of her, blushed and lowered her head and whispered, "Is it good-looking?"

Mo Qing unabashedly boasted: "Well, it's good-looking, worthy of my wife." ”

When Zhang Yan saw Zhang Xue and Mo Qing walking out from behind the screen together, his smile was fixed, and his face was dark, damn it!
