Xiao Zhiyuan sent someone to take Di Yuxiang and his wife to see the small house where their father came to live, the house is not big, it is only a little bigger than the one they live in, although the courtyard has one in and one out, but one main courtyard has two master bedrooms, and the main hall house in the outer courtyard is only two small servant houses on both sides of the back.

But although the house is small, the furniture is complete, and it is all valuable.

Xiao Yuzhu thought about it for a while after seeing it, and thought that according to his brother's intentions, this small mansion was intended to only live with his father and him.

Today it was the big pick up who brought them here, and then said that there are two big rooms in the back, one is where the old man lives, and the other is where they live, and the furniture is placed first, if she is not satisfied, they will move it.

The things placed in the two master bedrooms are neat and decent, and the taboos are all taboos, thinking that the person who arranged the house for his brother before was also attentive, Xiao Yuzhu did not find out the mistakes, nor did he move the original placement.

When they returned to the front yard, the two servants who were cleaning saw them come out and saluted them.

"The slaves are all the people who used to be around the adults, if the young lady has something, she tells them, they do everything, if there is something on weekdays, send someone to call them." After saying that, he threw a look at them, and now the two servants who were still holding the big broom dragged the two brooms and danced with great momentum, raising a group of winter dead leaves on the ground that had not been cleaned......

Xiao Yuzhu walked through the place where her father and brother lived, although it was all arranged, and there was not much place to use her, but in the end, it was still her daughter's heart, and the next day Di Xiaoqi sent her father the bedding pillow and tea that she was used to covering at home.

This Xiao Yuantong will get off the ship and enter Beijing in two days, and Old Taijun Xiao will also go to Beijing, Di Yuxiang went out and came back to tell Xiao Yuzhu that the father-in-law of Dao will arrive in Beijing a few days earlier than Old Taijun, and Old Taijun Xiao has delayed time, and will enter Beijing a few days later, probably until Chinese New Year's Eve.

Xiao Yuzhu nodded when she heard this, Di Yuxiang originally thought that she had something to ask after speaking, but she didn't ask a word, and turned around and continued to talk to Xi Po and Osmanthus who had spoken before.

Di Yuxiang originally thought about how if she asked the old lady why she delayed, how he would euphemistically say that the eldest brother didn't seem to want the old lady to go to Beijing to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with them, but she didn't ask at all, saving him from offending the eldest brother.

**

Xiao Yuantong got off the boat on the 24th of the new year, and the boat had just entered the last section of the canal in the capital, and it was not until the time of the day that he was allowed to enter Beijing, but Xiao Yuantong was dressed neatly and went out of the cabin, and the old Yutou who came with him after he opened the door, heard the movement and came out of the hut next to him, and saw him walking towards the bow of the boat, and couldn't help but ask him, "Master, where are you going?" ”

"Let's take a look outside."

It was not yet dawn, it was still dark outside, and there were many boats parked at the break, but there were only a few oil-paper lamps hanging on the eaves of each boat, and the firelight looked scattered and sporadical, which made people feel cold on a cold winter night.

Seeing that the old man had already walked a few steps while talking, the old elm hurriedly went back to the house and took a thick robe, and hurried up while draping it.

"It's cold outside, sir, what are you going to see outside?"

"Just take a look." Xiao Yuantong smiled, walked to the bow of the boat, and saw that the guards on the night vigil were about to salute him as soon as they saw him, he hurriedly shook his hand, "Mo Duoli, Mo Duoli, I'll come out for a walk." ”

After that, he walked to the other end, looked up at the sky, and saw that there was still starlight in the sky, he smiled and said, "There are stars, it seems that it will be a sunny day when the day dawns." ”

"Eh, yes, it's a sunny day." Along the way, Lao Yutou saw that the smile on his face was much more than the smile on his face for more than half a year in front of him, and he knew that the old man was happy to see Miss Gongzi when he went to Beijing, but he was an outsider who watched it, and his mood could be better.

"Now the wind is blowing hard, and I hope that the wind will be lighter by the day."

"It's windy on the river."

"yes, if only the dockside could be smaller."

"Hey, no, it's better to be small." The old elm didn't sleep enough, yawned, and said a false answer.

"It's good to be small...... Xiao Yuantong rubbed his hands that were cold not long after, looked at the direction of the Beijing wharf and said, "My daughter is a dead eye, she must have come to the riverside wharf early in the morning to guard, this wind can not freeze her good." ”

The old elm was yawning continuously, and was hitting the middle of the mouth, listening to this, the yawning stopped, he looked at the old man, and now he completely understood why he was going to come out to see the sky before dawn early in the morning, listening to him, he was worried that the weather was not good, and the rain was drenched in his daughter, and he was worried that the wind was too cold and the delicate daughter......

Pity the parents of the world, Lao Yutou shook his head, sighed and Xiao Yuan, "Master, go into the boat, it's cold, Miss is also worried about you......"

"yes." Xiao Yuantong nodded at Lao Yutou, and said, "After sleeping for a while, I was woken up by their brothers and sisters in my dream, and now I can't sleep." ”

Old Yutou was silent for a while, in the years when he was a dart master and traveled south and north, when he was about to return home, there were also such moments, thinking that he was about to see people, and he couldn't sleep no matter how he slept.

He can understand, and sighed again, "Yes, I'm about to see them, how can I sleep?" ”

Xiao Yuantong nodded.

The riverbank at night is very quiet, the winter morning always has to be brighter later, the stars have not left, it seems that you have to wait a little longer, Xiao Yuantong looked at the sky again, he also had the desire to say a few words at this time, so he talked to the old elm beside him, "I haven't seen Zhuzhu and her brother for many years, after he left the house, I promised their mother, before I die, I must find him for her......"

"Ugh." The old elm sighed.

"I haven't found ...... for many years," Xiao Yuantong said this, smiled, was silent for a long time, lowered his head and sighed, "It's really sad." ”

"It's not good." The old elm also sighed.

"It's good to find it, it's good to find it, it's good to find it." When Xiao Yuantong said this, he stuttered, covered his sore chest with his face, and covered his red eyes in the night.

After finding it, he knew what it meant to be relieved, as long as the person was fine, everything would be fine.

**

This night, Xiao Yuzhu woke up in the middle of the night, she quietly got out of bed and went to the kitchen, thinking that she was moving quietly and unconsciously, but when she rolled out the dumpling wrappers and was turning around to look at the chicken soup simmering on the small stove next to the kitchen, she saw a person standing by the door, she was almost startled, and when she saw that the person was her eldest man, she was stunned for the moment, and then hurriedly walked over, "Why did you get up?" ”

"Hmm." Di Yuxiang replied and did not reply to her words.

Xiao Yuzhu saw that the robe on his body was draped, not worn, so he became worried, "It's cold outside, you go back to the house and lie down." ”

"No, I'll stand by the door, wake up, and I'll go into the house in a moment."

"What are you awake about?" Xiao Yuzhu couldn't cry or laugh, "It's still early, you can go for a break." ”

"Aren't you resting?"

Xiao Yuzhu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, turned around to wash her hands and dry them, and came back to dress him well, her tone was as soft as a pool of spring water, "Be obedient, go back and rest for a while." ”

"Nope." Di Yuxiang lowered his head, leaned his face on her shoulder, and there was still a bit of laziness in his mouth that did not fade from sleepiness, "Are you making breakfast for your father-in-law and uncle?" ”

"And for you and Changnan." Xiao Yuzhu reached out and gently rubbed his neck.

"yes, I know." Di Yuxiang hugged her, "I'll accompany you." ”

"Da Lang," Xiao Yuzhu couldn't help it, ignoring the reserve of her daughter's family, kissed him on the forehead, and said to him softly in the same tone as she spoke softly to Changnan, "I'll come to you when I'm done, if you can't sleep when you go back to the house, go to the outhouse to read a book, just treat it as accompanying me?" ”

"Not good."

"Dalang." Xiao Yuzhu was helpless.

Di Yuxiang also knew that he couldn't do this, he was too much like a child, not the husband who could let her rely on, and after a while, he said sullenly, "Then I'm going back to the outhouse?" ”

"Okay."

"Call me when you're done."

"Hmm."

"I'll take you to pick up your father-in-law later."

"Eh, got it, let you take me." Xiao Yuzhu laughed.

Di Yuxiang reluctantly raised his head, glanced at her, and hurriedly walked towards the hall.

When he walked to the place where the lantern hung on the eaves of the hall, he looked back at her, and saw her standing by the gleaming kitchen door, waving at him with a gentle face to let him in, and he couldn't help but smile back at her, and then entered the door of the hall under her gaze.

Here, Xiao Yuzhu saw him enter the house, lowered his head and smiled dumbly.

It was only at such special times, and often only the two of them, that she could see some of his pestering and clingy teenage nature, but because of this, she liked him more than she thought.

When Xiao Yuzhu had almost made the food to be eaten for breakfast, as soon as it was dawn, she heard a low neighing of horses by the door, so she asked Didin, who had already gotten up, to open the door.

After a while, Xiao Zhiyuan entered the door, leaned against the kitchen door and asked her, "Why did you get up so early?" ”

Xiao Yuzhu brought a bowl of eight-treasure porridge over, "Drink some to cushion your stomach first, and when your father arrives home, the whole family will eat together." ”

"Oh." Xiao Zhiyuan took it, drank a sip of porridge that was so thick that it melted in his mouth, and breathed a sigh of relief comfortably.

"When you see your father, remember to ask for sin." Xiao Yuzhu looked at his brother's scarred face, and somehow, his eyes turned red again, "Don't bully him, I don't know how to blame you, you can be disobedient, you must not break his heart in the future, he gives incense to his mother every year, and he has to cry in front of her for you, thinking that he is useless and can't find you to go home, you are so unfilial, but he only blames himself, he is reluctant to say a word to anyone, and when he hears bad things about you, he can be anxious with the old lady." ”

Xiao Zhiyuan listened for a long time without speaking, and only when the porridge in his hand stopped steaming anymore did he say astringently, "I know, the master's side gave me all the letters he begged them for." ”

"I didn't reply to us if I gave you?" Xiao Yuzhu's eyes widened in disbelief when she heard this, tears flowed involuntarily from her eyes, and she couldn't help but hit him on the chest fiercely, "How can you be so ruthless, let your mother worry that you can't close your eyes until she dies, and let us worry you so much that you can't rest day and night?" ”

"I only got the letter this year, I couldn't get it outside before," Xiao Zhiyuan stood stunned and let her accuse, a little at a loss, "At that time, my brother didn't know if he could come back, I really didn't know, sister, you and your father and mother don't blame me, I want to come back, but I can't come back." 166 Reading Network
