Chapter 124: Homecoming
Chapter 124: Homecoming
Qiu Chen's heart froze, and his body's subconscious reaction was to turn around and walk back. However, she didn't dare to be too sudden, and her eyes quietly swept the environment around her, and she saw that the environment on both sides was quite open, and the nearest tent to her was about ten steps. She was alert, but she still relaxed her physical state, and slowly took two steps forward, and then stopped, and after standing still, she raised her eyes to the sky. Although it was the middle of the month, the moonlight tonight was not good, and the puffy clouds obscured the moonlight that should have been bright, and also obscured a number of shining stars, only the occasional night sky appeared in the gap in the clouds, scattered with scattered stars.
Qiu Chen raised his head and looked at the night sky silently, shook his head worriedly, turned around and walked back. As she turned, her hand naturally straightened the placket, and then, as if remembering something, she jerked up and patted her forehead, and then quickened her pace.
She didn't go far for a walk, and after speeding up, she quickly walked to the densely populated area of the tent, and sniffed it carefully, there was no longer the suspicious smell of the stable, and Qiu Chen's tightly held heart was slightly relaxed.
No longer so nervous, Qiu Chen began to think about what was going on with this strange smell.
She stayed in the barracks for five or six days, because she had to go to the craftsman's workshop every day to see the steaming of alcohol, and she went back and forth several times a day, so that she had a better understanding of the layout of the Chinese army to the rear camp.
Different from the camps where soldiers of the former army and the Chinese army are stationed, the rear camp includes all the logistics and baggage departments, and even includes military prisons and prisoner camps, and some military camps will also have military prostitute camps that are tacitly acquiesced. With so many complex and numerous departments, it is the most difficult to manage. Because of the complexity of the rear battalion, the defensive measures between the rear battalion and the regular camps of the front army and the Chinese army are also relatively strict. But Qiu Chen has no doubt that no matter how complete and strict the normative measures are, there may be loopholes. There was only one possibility of the very obvious strong smell of the stables just now, that is, the people who had been in the stables for a long time sneaked into the Chinese army from the back camp.
However, judging the police situation based on a burst of smell alone was a little unreliable after all, even Qiu Chen herself felt a little unreliable, so she walked back quickly, but instead of walking to her tent, not far away, an old military tent where the veteran lived.
To go to the veteran's military tent, you have to go through her own military tent. Just as she passed, the curtain of her tent door was lifted from the inside, she was startled, subconsciously took a step back, and then looked over, but saw Qin Zheng, who was dressed in cyan clothes, bowed slightly, and stood at the door of the low military tent with the curtain.
The speculation that had never been sure was suspicious, and after seeing this person who should not have appeared here, Qiu Chen only felt that he had figured it out all at once. For what did they work hard to sneak into the Chinese army camp from the back camp, not to go to the Chinese army's big tent or the high-grade general's camp tent, but to come to this corner where they were.
The siren sounded in his heart, Qiu Chen rushed up all of a sudden, his movements were faster than his thoughts, and he pushed Qin Zheng into the tent at once, but he was tripped by the falling curtain, and the whole person lost his balance, plus she rushed up without warning, although Qin Zheng was brave and heroic, and the seventeen-year-old Shatou Fort outwitted three thousand rebels with five hundred soldiers, and the young general became famous in one battle...... But she was also rushed by the little woman, unable to stand, and kicked...... He took two steps back in a row, poofed, and fell backwards on the straw mat blanket laid in the tent! Qiu Chen, who was still pressed on his body, rushed over and knocked him down...... The top of her head was just on Qin Zheng's chin......
This completely unexpected change made Qiu Chen's brain blank, the first induction was a huge pain at the fontanelle above his head, and his nose was also sour, and secondly, it was full of nasal cavity and a clear breath of pine wood that poured into his lungs......
In a daze, she wanted to raise her hand to rub the top of her sore head and nose, but found that her body was tightly hugged by a pair of arms, and her arms couldn't move!
As soon as this body couldn't struggle, Qiu Chen's brain began to work...... But he actively ignored his own 'sins', and only remembered the reason for his actions just now--
Suddenly raised his head, and as a result, the brave and heroic General Qin was once again successfully attacked by a sneak attack - his jaw was hit again, and he let out a low muffled snort.
"Hmm...... It hurts! Qiu Chen completely injured the enemy eight hundred and injured one thousand, and the top of his head was also hit in pain, and he subconsciously exhaled in pain, before he struggled to hold up his head, rubbing his head, and apologized and asked, "I'm sorry, it hurt you, right?" β¦β¦ Oh yes, how did you get here alone? β
Qiu Chen has never had any distinction between high and low in his heart, and he knows that she is much older than Qin Zheng in the deepest part of his heart, and the general in his twenties in front of him is just a relatively outstanding young man, and in this kind of private occasion, the thinking and talking habits she has cultivated over the years have become dominant, and she subconsciously forgot Qin Zheng's identity, and even ignored Qin Zheng's identity as a young person of the opposite sex, and just regarded Qin Zheng as an ordinary young man, yes, she didn't realize that there was anything wrong with her actions, Yes, remembering his previous doubts and nervousness, he immediately asked.
On Qin Zheng's side, during the day, he did not have a clear answer to the woman's request for a return trip, but from the cheerful expressions of the woman and Lin Xu, he could also see that these two regarded his silence as a tacit acquiescence.
Seeing the sincere smile on the woman's face that seemed to flow from her heart, her expression soared, and the whole person swept away the previous depression and caution, as if the whole person had turned into a dazzling luminous body, which made Qin Yi's few people who were used to being calm and cold all affected, and they were also rarely happy......
Qin Zheng, who seemed to be isolated, returned to the camp in silence all the way, but he was always irritable, and after going around the main tent for countless circles, he didn't even eat dinner, so he left the main tent under the pretext of inspecting the camp, and even Qin Yi and others were sent far away by him. He originally wanted to walk around the barracks and calm down his irritable emotions, but he didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, walking and walking, he unconsciously came to this corner of the Chinese army, he had always known Lu Dao, but he had never been to this place.
Now that you've come here, I'll see you.
Qiu Chen was not in the tent, and Qin Zheng didn't alarm others, so he sent the veteran away and sat in the tent to wait.
For the first time in a woman's room, Qin Zheng was quickly dispelled by the simple and clear arrangement in Qiu Chen's tent after the initial little discomfort. In this tent, the only difference from the tent where ordinary soldiers live is probably that there is no armor and weapons, no makeup, no smell of fat powder, and no knick-knacks such as purse embroidery that he remembers girls like...... I didn't even see where a woman lived.
However, in such a simple, almost shabby tent, Qin Zheng's irritable mood gradually calmed down.
Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps, from the relatively light footsteps, Qin Zheng immediately judged who it was, yes, when Qiu Chen walked to the tent, Qin Zheng opened the tent curtain......
Unexpectedly, to his complete surprise, the woman first seemed to be frightened by him, took a step back, and then saw that it was him, and rushed up without warning and pushed herself into the tent...... Fall to the ground.
In the woman's series of rushing, pushing, and pounce movements, his body pushed the person who rushed towards him before the defense of his mind, but this one did not push it solidly, and when it touched the woman's body, he also reacted to who the object was, and quickly changed it to hug ...... It was his subconscious defensive actions, and the remedial hug afterwards, that made Qiu Chen feel that he did not stand firm, and made the subsequent 'pounce' action!
fell to the ground, but Qin Zheng didn't pay attention to the pain that was really nothing to him, but he was stunned by the realization of the lightning flash in his heart!
was rushed by someone without warning, and subconscious defense has been integrated into his bones...... Qin Zheng asked himself, if it weren't for this woman, it would be impossible for someone else to rush to the front before starting the self-defense action, and after that, it would be impossible to turn the self-defense action into a protective hug that went the other way...... If it hadn't been for the strength of the woman's body, he wouldn't have been so easily thrown to the ground by a little woman!
This series of unconsciously actions almost completely subverted his usual code of conduct, and after the fall, he suddenly found the reason why he felt deeply troubled and irritable during this period of time.
Let yourself be judged abnormally, resolute hesitation, irritability, and even subconsciously give up self-protection and save and even protect the attacker There is only one reason - that is, because the object of all this abnormality is the woman who is now in her arms!
At first sight, this woman is cunning, rude, dignified, intelligent, and knows how to advance and retreat...... After seeing her again, this woman is brave, resolute, forbearing, knows how to make trade-offs, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, is heroic and hearty, and is full of energy......
This woman who was born at the bottom of the society and in a small mountain village is vivid, tenacious, confident, proud, and vibrant that he has never seen before......
Before, he had always felt that this woman had many facets, seemingly simple and hearty, but it was always changing, making him unable to read and understand......
Now, under the sudden enlightenment, he suddenly discovered that this woman was not Qianqian's delicate vine rose; It's not a beautiful greenhouse flower that needs to be cared for......
She is like the most common birch tree in northern Xinjiang, standing tall and unyielding, in a land of ice and snow cold, she has always straightened her waist, facing the wind and snow, and when the spring breeze blows after the harsh winter, she will once again thrive and show her vitality.
She is like a pasture on the vast grassland of northern Xinjiang, with no proud identity, no gorgeous flowers, and even no name, but she is still glorious when she is old, indomitable, persistent and tenacious......
I have always been impatient with those noble ladies with gorgeous appearances, exquisite makeup, gorgeous clothes, shame before speaking, delicate and twisted, and coquettish, but in fact, seeing him is like a hungry wolf seeing meat, and I can't wait to pounce on him and bite a bite...... Let him himself think that he hates women as creatures, but he didn't expect that today, holding this woman in his arms, he felt relieved and satisfied, and he hated to hug this woman into his arms and put his surname on it...... Let her never leave his side again!
But just as Qin Zheng had just figured out what he was thinking, and was satisfied and happy, his chin was hit again without warning.
He let out a muffled snort, subconsciously raised his hand to cover his chin, and the woman who had lost her shackles honestly propped up half of her body, rubbed her head and apologized, and suddenly asked him why he came to her tent? Even though a woman, a woman who had just been determined by his heart to pounce on him, made him feel a little different.
But Qin Zheng was still sensitive to the woman's deliberately suppressed voice, as well as the worry and eagerness of the question behind it.
thought of the abnormal reaction of the woman at the door of the tent before, and the sudden rush and push......
Qin Zheng's eyes flashed and asked, "What did you encounter?" β
Qiu Chen didn't get an answer, so he didn't care about asking questions at this time, he thought about it quickly, and immediately decided to tell this person his suspicions, even if he was too sensitive and made an oolong.
"Stables?" After listening to Qiu Chen's words to explain his doubts, Qin Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he simply repeated. Qiu Chen could not hear that it was not questioning, and immediately nodded.
When she said it, she felt relieved. She still has a lot of trust in Qin Zheng's ability to command the army, and she told him that she believes that he will soon be able to make judgments and respond accordingly.
Even so, after seeing that Qin Zheng only showed a hint of surprise, and there was no follow-up reaction, Qiu Chen was still a little surprised: "You, will it be a problem to stay here?" β
"What could be the problem?" Qin Zheng looked at Qiu Chen lightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone actually brought out a smile that he had never seen before, but his eyes swept back and forth twice on the two of them very hatefully, and said, "Could it be, Begonia Lady, what kind of male and female defense is this going on?" β
Qiu Chen frowned, and the corners of his mouth immediately provoked a trace of ridicule: "I understand that men and women can't stop General Qin from worrying, but General Qin still has to worry about his good reputation, don't be burdened by me, a person who has a lot of right and wrong in front of the door!" β
After the cruel words were finished, Qiu Chen wanted to shake his hand heavily, but only then did he realize that he seemed to be lying on the man's body......
His face suddenly burned. Qiu Chen simply felt that the innocence of his two lives was ruined in one fell swoop!
I didn't care about whether there was any potential danger outside, and I didn't think about whether Qin Zheng was safe anymore, so I propped up my body and climbed down from the man without any image, and then, at an extremely fast speed, I scurried to the farthest position from the man with my hands and feet, and then sat on the blanket in the tent and patted the sheepskin that was used as a quilt......
But I felt that my behavior of running away was too naΓ―ve, too weak.
So, Qiu Chen held his face again, suppressed the shame of wanting to die, and looked at Qin Zheng, who was still lying in the middle of the tent with a big face, and said, "General Qin, we have to get up early tomorrow and hurry...... It's good to go, don't send it! β
The woman was like a fried cat, with her teeth and claws, her eyebrows, and her series of movements without an image, and now she was strong and ashamed...... not only succeeded in making Qin Zheng's heart empty of the irritability and bitterness that had been in place for many days, but also really pleased him.
Couldn't help it, he let out a chuckle: "Heh......"
Qiu Chen was carrying the piece of sheepskin in his hand and pretending to slap it to hide his embarrassment and embarrassment, when he suddenly heard such a chuckle, the anger of shame could no longer be controlled, and he raised his hand and threw the sheepskin in his hand towards the man lying down!
Qin Zheng could avoid the feather arrows that shot in front of him, let alone such a large piece of soft and powerless sheepskin!
Naturally, he stretched out his hand to catch it easily, and Qin Zheng also followed this action and sat up, but when they were together, his mind was racing, and he reached out to support his lower back, and let out a low muffled snort.
This low muffled snort successfully reminded Qiu Chen of his 'sins', and then subconsciously felt his body, except for the slight pain from the fontanelle, there was no pain all over his body...... She knocked people down, hurt from the fall, and made the family a human flesh cushion...... Looks like I deserve to feel guilty!
At this time, Qin Zheng had already stood up spontaneously.
Although the woman in front of her was a little confused in some things, she was more like an untrained girl, not like a woman who already had a pair of children, but Qin Zheng knew that this woman was actually sensitive in her heart, and she had her own pride in her bones.
As a successful general, who can command thousands of troops and horses freely, he naturally knows better than most people what it means to be quick to not reach, what is called to retreat as advance, and what is called not moving, and to control the enemy in one move!
The tent where Qiu Chen lived was almost the most ordinary small military tent, and she was barely standing in the tent, let alone a tall and straight man like Qin Zheng. Although he was standing in the middle of the tent, he had to bend his body, and he seemed to be enduring the pain in his back, holding his back with his hand, and frowning slightly......
As soon as Qiu Chen turned around, he saw such a look. I was already a little ashamed of it, and when I saw Qin Zheng like this, I finally sighed secretly, and suddenly I felt a very boring feeling.
At the same time, do psychological construction for yourself - forget it, this person has been in the top position for a long time, and it is estimated that he is used to being self-centered, and he is young and vigorous...... What is she fighting with him!
"General Qin, if there is no danger outside, you better go back as soon as possible! After all, you are concerned about the safety of the entire army, and even the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is in the military camp, it is better to be cautious. Now that Qiu Chen has calmed down and no longer cares, he has become objective in his speech.
Qin Zheng's eyes flashed, and his face had returned to his usual composure and calmness: "Don't worry, it's okay!" β
After speaking, seeing the blankness on Qiu Chen's face, Qin Zheng subconsciously added, "Qin Yi, they are not far away." β
"Oh!" This time, Qiu Chen was truly relieved.
Since Qin Yi and those people are defending, presumably even if one or two people sneak in, nothing will happen.
Relaxed, Qiu Chen found that his back was a little sweaty, and his body was a little sour and soft, anyway, it was in his own tent, Qiu Chen didn't force himself, he simply stretched his legs, rubbed it, and then knelt down at the low table on the edge of the tent, picked up the teapot on the low table and poured himself a cup of boiled water, and drank half a cup in one go......
So, Qiu Chen raised his head and asked something that should have been asked a long time ago: "I didn't know that the general was here, but what did he order?" β
Qin Zheng coughed lightly, sat down opposite Qiu Chen uninvited, and took out the questions that had been prepared a long time ago to discuss with Qiu Chen.
He asked about some operational details of making 'small firecrackers', and since Qiu Chen handed over the recipe, these details would not be kept, and he answered them in detail one by one.
Then, the topic is done. Qiu Chen raised his eyes to look at Qin Zheng, although he didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious to ask the other party if he didn't leave.
Qin Zheng also knew that the night was dark, and it was really inappropriate for him to stay in a single woman's tent like this, so he got up and prepared to leave.
Qiu Chen, as the temporary host, naturally wanted to send off the guests.
After taking two steps to the door of the tent, Qin Zheng stopped, turned his face slightly and said, "Early tomorrow morning, I will send Qin Yi to bring someone to send you back to Huairong." β
On the prairie, it is still the grassland that has just experienced the Great War, and it is naturally much safer to be escorted, Qiu Chen did not pretentiously excuse himself, thanked him generously, and sent Qin Zheng out. At the door of the tent, Qiu Chen added: "Since I have seen the general tonight, we will no longer go to the Chinese army's tent tomorrow, and I will bid farewell to the general here!" β
Qin Zheng paused, didn't look back, responded lightly, and walked straight away.
Early the next morning, Qiu Chen and Lin Xu got up and sorted out their simple luggage, quit the veteran, and walked straight to the gate of the camp.
At the camp gate, Qin Yi led a team of fifty cavalry, as well as Li Zhenbei and his entourage, who were already waiting here.
Everyone was also considered acquaintances, so they greeted each other slightly, got on their horses, and set off immediately.
All the way was on horseback, without the baggage of the grain transport team, more than 300 miles, less than 400 miles, when it was dark, they had already arrived at Yanyun Pass.
With Qin Yi here, Qiu Chen and the others entered Yanyun Pass smoothly, while Qin Yi and his entourage did not enter the pass, so they resigned from Qiu Chen and others under the pass and hurriedly returned to the barracks.
Qiu Chen and the others took advantage of the night to rush back to Huairong, took out two silver and sent the useless guide away, and turned back to the inn where Yang Shumeng's uncle and nephew were.
After greetings, Qiu Chen checked Junshu's injury and saw that the wound was healing well, although there was inevitably a depression and a scar, but there was no recurrence of infection. She cleaned the sutures for Junshu, removed the sutures, and bandaged them again. The young man also happened to come over to inform him that the meal was ready.
Qiu Chen called the dart masters to the lobby for dinner, and then instructed the young men to boil hot water and send it into the guest room, and everyone washed up.
Lying on the kang again clean and refreshing, Qiu Chen seemed to feel that he was still bumpy on the horse's back, and fell asleep in a daze.
This slept until three o'clock the next day, and Qiu Chen stretched his waist to get up.
After a trip to the grassland, everyone was exhausted, and they were not in a hurry to return at this time, Qiu Chen and Lin Xu still had to go to see Xu Changwen, so they decided to stay in Huairong for another day.
After breakfast, the Lin family of five people cleaned up neatly, and went to the county office to see Xu Changwen, and at the same time asked if there were any letters or anything like that to bring home.
Seeing that Lin Xuhei had lost some weight, but came back in good spirits, Xu Changwen was very happy, asked a few words with concern, and turned his gaze to Qiu Chen.
She has also lost weight, but she is not much darker, but she is more neat and capable than at home, and there is a restrained perseverance and composure between her beautiful and clear eyebrows. If he hadn't known her identity, he wouldn't have believed it, this was still the delicate and shy woman she had been.
Time passes, things change, and people slowly change. However, such a change and growth, in Xu Changwen's eyes, he didn't know whether to be happy or sour. If it weren't for being helpless, whose woman would need to show her head like this and face the wind and rain!
I hate myself, my name is not right, and I can't help her at all.
Qiu Chen smiled and said a few words, and then asked Xu Changwen if he had any letters to bring home. Xu Changwen was silent, nodded and went to write a letter to his family, and handed it to Qiu Chen and his party.
"After all, this place is close to the border, Mr. Xu, please take care!"
If you want to say goodbye to Xu Changwen, you naturally have to count Lin Xu reluctantly. solemnly saluted Xu Changwen, then said goodbye with red eyes, and left the county government in Huairong Town, which had undergone some simple repairs.
Walking far away, Qiu Chen comforted Lin Xu, who was reviewing frequently, and also glanced back, and saw Xu Changwen standing at the door of the yamen in a cyan official uniform, and his clear figure was a little gloomy.
Somehow, Qiu Chen felt that Xu Changwen always had a sense of discord with the yamen, and a simple and handsome person like Mr. Xu should be a scholar who talks about poetry and travels all over the world!
"Let's go!" Junshu patted Lin Xu on the shoulder and followed Qiu Chen and Yang Shumeng's footsteps and walked back.
On the return trip, there were two carriages of Lin Xu and his entourage, and Qiu Chen no longer had to suffer from bumps on horseback, so he took Lin Xu and Junshu to the first car, and Yang Shu drove the car. Chengzi drove another car to follow, when he set off from Huairong, the car was still empty, all the way Qiu Chen bought local specialties all the way, and before he got home, the second car had been filled with all kinds of items.
With a carriage with you, the speed naturally can't be compared with the galloping of the horses when you come. Before passing through the more prosperous towns, Qiu Chen would stop and buy again, yes, the speed of this return trip was really not fast.
Fortunately, all the way to Xiaoxing overnight, safe and smooth, half a month later, on the afternoon of the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, the group finally returned to Liujiaao after a long absence.
When Qiu Chen left home, the east courtyard had been completed, and he was not particularly surprised when he looked at the two neat and beautiful courtyards, but he was inevitably excited - he finally arrived home!
Yang Shumeng and Lin Xu had not started construction when they left, and at this time, looking at the two large courtyards standing side by side, the roof courtyard had landed in a large area, and they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
Junshu was the youngest after all, and walked to the gate of the Lin family in a daze, only to exclaim: "This is really home!" How do you feel like you're going to the wrong door! β
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.
When a few people returned, they had already run into the Lin family to report the news, Junwen Junyan Junzhang and Ah Fu Aman went to the school, and they didn't know that Qiu Chen and they were back. It was Yang Shuyong who was the first to run out when he heard the news that he took the lead, followed by Lan Ying and Qingshan's family, and then behind was the Liu family supported by Qingxing and Yufeng, as well as a large group of helpers and domestic servants.
"Big brother!" Qiu Chen looked at the simple man with a happy face, and after screaming, he couldn't help but redden.
"Hey, Begonia, are you back?"
"Hehe, how did Haitang and Brother Xu get together? This time I'm back home, it's really a reunion! β
Lan Ying and the Qingshan family followed closely to greet them, and Qiu Chen touched his eyes and greeted them with a smile.
"Begonia!" Liu Shi walked over tremblingly, Qiu Chen hurriedly stepped forward, held the old lady's arm, and called his mother affectionately but secretly guilty.
Then he explained with a smile: "It's a coincidence, I walked to the town, and I happened to meet the second brother and them, so I came home!" β
"Oh, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Liu smiled on his face, but his eyes were already red.
After Yang Shumeng and Junshu saw Yang Shuyong, they came to Liu again, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed. Liu hurriedly asked someone to pull the two up. Lin Xu also came over with Chengzi to see him, and the family entered the house happily.
The west courtyard is not in a hurry to move in, so it has been left to dry, and no later decoration has been carried out. The group naturally entered the East Courtyard.
Although there is a living room in front of the guests, the family is still used to talking in the house, so they entered the house of the second courtyard together.
Junshu and Lin Xu walked at the back of the road, and the two of them looked at the layers of courtyards, like houses, all of them were full of bright eyes, and whispered something with joy on their faces. Yang Shuyong arranged for Daxing Shunzi to unload the car, and led the horse vehicle to the East Cross Courtyard to unload the truck and feed, and then he hurried into the second courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he heard the sound of cheerful laughter coming from the main house, Yang Shuyong breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face couldn't help but deepen.
Seeing Yang Shuyong coming in, Lan Ying and several members of the Qingshan family also said goodbye with a smile and continued to work in the East Cross Courtyard.
There was only one family left in the house, so naturally they said their respective itineraries after separation. The itinerary in the north is naturally Lin Xu, Yang Shumeng, and Junshu, and you are happy to say a word, and Qiu Chen has no choice but to make up a few words about the situation in Fucheng.
After talking for a while, the Daxing family came in and asked for instructions on what to cook for dinner.
Qiu Chen looked at the reunited family, raised his hand happily and said, "Make a few more dishes, the family is reunited tonight, we must celebrate and celebrate!" β
As he spoke, he got up and said to Liu: "Mother, you still don't know what to do, my second brother, Junshu and Brother Xu also bought a lot of things for the family and came back." Let's look at the rest in the evening, I heard that there are a few special foods in the Northland, I went to find out, and I made them together, let's try them together in the evening. β
Liu smiled and responded. Qiu Chen called Lin Xu and Junshu out of the house, leaving Yang Shuyong and Yang Shumeng in the house. Counting it, the Liu family hasn't seen the second brother for two months, and presumably the mother and son must have a lot to say.
After Qingxing and Yufeng poured tea for everyone, they withdrew and sat on the railing of the eaves of the corridor waiting for instructions, and saw Qiu Chen come out with Lin Xu and Junshu lifting the curtain, and hurriedly got up and saluted.
Qiu Chen nodded lightly, and ordered them to boil the bath water, and she took Lin Xu and Junshu into the east chamber of Erjin: "Originally, I planned that our family would live in Erjin, but the eldest brother and Junwen said that it was convenient to enter and exit, so they chose the east chamber of Yijin." You two don't care about them and choose whatever you like! β
Before, Qiu Chen didn't think about it carefully, just now when she saw the two big girls Qingxing and Yufeng, she suddenly felt that Junwen Lin Xu lived in the outer courtyard. The servants in the outer courtyard are all male servants, and it is good for the two big girls of Qingxing and Yufeng to be isolated from a few boys. She doesn't want any trouble at home with girls and aunts.
Lin Xu and Junshu didn't have any ideas, the two of them looked at each other with a smile, and at the same time asked to go to the outer courtyard to live.
Before, since Yang Junyong took Junwen to choose the East Wing North House, Junshu naturally followed his father and eldest brother. Lin Xu took the initiative to ask for a west chamber.
Qiu Chen was also satisfied, so he said, "Let Chengzi still follow the second brother...... Junshu and Junwen have no one around for the time being, so after two days, I'll wipe it off for you. β
Junshu hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "No need aunt, I'll follow my father and eldest brother, why don't you find someone again!" β
Qiu Chen didn't say much, smiled and took the two of them in.
The Daxing family took the Qingjiang family and the Shunzi family to choose vegetables and wash vegetables at the kitchen door, preparing dinner, and when they saw the three of them coming out together, they hurriedly put down the work in their hands and saluted.
Qiu Chen answered, and then only called Daxing's family, and went to the back room at the westernmost end. Junshu and Lin Xu said hello and went to see their room with happy faces.
These two rooms were originally lived in by Qingxing, Yufeng and a few little girls, and after the back cover room of the main house was cleaned up, Qingxing Yufeng and a few little girls moved over, and as soon as they entered these two back covers, they were changed into a kitchen warehouse for placing dishes, chopsticks, cups and saucers and dry ingredients.
Just unloaded the car, Yang Shuyong didn't have time to distinguish it, and a large cart of things was temporarily placed here.
Qiu Chen took the Daxing family to separate the ingredients from the fur and other things, and after asking what the Daxing family would do, he picked a pack of deer tendons, a pack of husky film, a pack of lilies, and a bag of almonds from the ingredients, and handed them to the Daxing family, and made a roasted deer tendon at night, soaked the almonds and added tender cucumbers to the cold dress, the husky film was soaked, and Ming'er started in the morning to boil porridge for Liu and himself. Lilies make porridge for others.
Looking at a few dry ingredients, Qiu Chen couldn't help but sigh. There are many good things in the north, and there is no way to bring them back in this era, so they can only buy a few dry goods. As for delicacies such as humps and bear paws, they are not what her current financial resources can consume, so she can only give up.
After picking out the ingredients here, Qiu Chen instructed the Daxing family to wait for Daxing to feed the horses and let them move all the non-food things into the backyard.
Coming out of the back room, Qingxing and Yufeng had already boiled the bath water, Qiu Chen instructed the Shunzi family and the Qingjiang family to bring water to Lin Xu and Junshu, and Qingxing and Yufeng carried the water into the backyard.
Entering the house, seeing that the words of the Yang family's mother and son were almost the same, Qiu Chen took the second brother Yang Shu to the front yard to wash, she said hello to Liu, and also entered the east room, took a hot bath, changed into a cocoon silk original white shirt and a sunny skirt, wiped her hair and walked out.
When Qing Xing saw this, she hurriedly took a dry cloth towel and stepped forward, wringed Qiu Chen's hair dry, and according to Qiu Chen's instructions, she loosely tied the hair that was still a little damp on the back of her head.
Only then did Qiu Chen feel refreshed and relieved from the fatigue along the way.
Coming out of the house, Liu had already set up a table in the courtyard, Qiu Chen also rubbed to Liu's side with a smile, took the small clothes that were half sewn in Liu's hand, praised it with a smile, put it into the needlework basket casually, and said to Liu with a smile: "Mother, this needlework, you just need to relieve your boredom, but don't keep bending over and controlling your head like this." β
Liu nodded with a smile, took the tea that Qiu Chen poured for her, took a sip slowly, and said, "The affairs of Fucheng are done, you won't go out for a while, right?" β
Qiu Chen smiled and nodded: "Well, the things outside have been dealt with, and the next thing is to start laying out the workshop at home." How can you just go out! β
Liu smiled: "Since you don't go out, I've been out of the house for more than a month, and your second brother has also been out for more than two months, let him send me back, and also see your second sister-in-law and Xiaowu......"
Hearing Liu's sudden mention of going home, Qiu Chen was very surprised, and hurriedly said, "Mother, you want to go home just now when I come back......
Liu put down the cup, patted Qiu Chen's hand and said: "Your father is old, and his legs and feet are inconvenient, although your sister-in-law and sister-in-law are both filial, but after all, they are daughters-in-law, and some words and things are not convenient." I won't go back, and I won't worry about him after a long time. β
Speaking of Haitang's father, Qiu Chen is also a little poor in words, the old lady said that it is normal for people to worry about their old wife, she can't leave the old lady, regardless of the old man of the Yang family's shop!
After thinking for a while, Qiu Chen said: "Mother, otherwise, let the second brother go to his own house, and when he comes back, take his father ......over."
It's just that before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Liu's smile: "You stupid boy, take your father over again, and only your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are left alone in the family with Junli?" Your sister-in-law and sister-in-law are now also taking medicine and stir-frying medicine, and they are waiting for your father to go, where to take care of them inside and out. β
Hearing Liu say this, Qiu Chen really couldn't be reluctant anymore, so he had to reluctantly respond.
It's just that she secretly calculated in her heart that when she came here, she had seen Begonia's mother, eldest brother, second brother and sister-in-law and five nephews, as well as Begonia's old father had not seen ...... Since she has taken over Begonia's life this time, she should also visit the old man with inconvenient legs! It should be reasonable!
As he was thinking about it, there was a sound of running with a snap, and the voice of the little girl had come in from the front yard, and from far and near--
"Mother's back? Mother, where is it? Mother's ......"
Qiu Chen these days, whether he is on the road or deep in the grassland, he is homesick, and he misses more and more intensely, but it is the children of Afu and Aman.
Now, hearing the shouts of the little girl Aman, and the sound of running in a hurry, where can she still sit still, she got up and greeted her.
Walking to the second gate, the little girl Man'er had already rushed in, and when she saw Qiu Chen, she immediately let out a big cheer, and rushed into Qiu Chen's arms with her little short legs like a small cannonball......
"Mother, Man'er misses you so much......"
The soft voice spoke, already with a heavy cry. Qiu Chen was also sour in his heart, stretched out his hand to hold the fleshy little girl into his arms, looked up and saw Ah Fu running in closely, stretched out an arm, and also took the sensible son into his arms, holding a pair of children, kissing and rubbing one by one, Qiu Chen said sincerely: "Mother also misses you......"
