Chapter 184: Take a man back to his parents' house

Keep the long life of the winter father, and keep the long life of the old mother.

As usual, you can't sleep on Chinese New Year's Eve. Moreover, it is necessary to light lamps everywhere, even in the corner behind the cupboard and under the bed, a lamp must be lit, and there must be no darkness left in the home, this custom is called 'illuminating the void'. Emptiness, that is, the meaning of emptiness, it is rumored that the dark corners of the home are not lit up directly to welcome the New Year, which will make the family poor in the coming year, so that the candle must be used to illuminate the dark corners everywhere, so that the void has nowhere to hide.

The Daxing family took the two daughters-in-law and Qingshan Yufeng together, holding a lantern and hanging it on the roof of the shed, even putting a thumb-sized candle under the bed, and the chicken coop and the fragrant roe deer shed in the backyard were also hung with lanterns.

The Daxing family told me several times, and after I finished it, I took a few people to check it everywhere, so I was relieved. In the new year, the main family will go to Fucheng to open a new workshop, and they will go to Nanmar Lake to raise fish and lotus roots, but there can be no little emptiness, so that the main family will lose money.

Although it has only been half a year since they came to the Lin family, these three families, large and small, have really accepted this Zhuang family, which was very exclusive before, and truly regarded it as their own home. The lord's family has a good heart, treats their servants gently and generously, not only respects the adults, but the Lin family's life is prosperous, and treats them generously, eating almost no different from the master's family, what the master eats, they also eat, and the clothes are abundant and abundant in all seasons...... What's even more heart-warming for them is that Mrs. also sent their children to school, and recently even taught Qingxing Yufeng, two big girls, arithmetic and literacy...... This kind of thing, not to mention that I didn't dare to think about it in the Liao family before, even in Guixun's house, there is no master to teach the girl to read and write, and he sincerely paves the way for their plans.

In this way, they are completely regarded as their own family, and it is difficult to find them with lanterns, and they have never thought about when they will start to regard this farm courtyard as their home.

After illuminating the void, the Daxing family took their two daughters-in-law and began to make dumplings.

Dumplings, Jiaozi, are the food eaten when Jiaozi is delivered. Every family, as long as they have this ability, even if they borrow money and noodles, they must let their family eat Jiaozi when the New Year comes, which is related to the health and smoothness of the family in the coming year, and it is the biggest thing at the beginning of the year.

Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng leaned on the big pillow, sat opposite each other across the kang table, drank fragrant tea, chatted about seemingly rambling topics, and relaxed and comfortable as time passed. Except for Qin Li in the middle who came in to deliver hot water, no one came in to disturb him.

The night was unconsciously deep, and in the silent night, suddenly a few firecrackers came from the village, and the crisp crackling sound broke the silence of the night at once, and soon, a lot of firecrackers followed, and the crackling sound was heard in the near distance, like the popping sound of fried beans.

"It's time to eat dumplings!" The voice of Daxingjia came from the door of the house.

Qiu Chen sat up all of a sudden, smiled and leaned over to wake up the two little guys: "Get up and eat dumplings!" Wake up......"

In a blink of an eye, Qin Li and Qin Yi brought two trays in, several plates of dumplings, with garlic and balsamic vinegar, mixed with the fragrance of dumplings in the steaming heat, the fragrance of garlic paste and balsamic vinegar, mixed together, rushing to the face, instantly dispelling the drowsiness and the dazed future, a heart is hot, and it is steady.

Whether it is the new year or the future, down-to-earth, diligent, the days will definitely get better and better, healthy and smooth, rich and happy!

Ah Fu Aman was called up, his expression was still ignorant, Yufeng Qingxing walked in with Yuqiang, Hutou and other children, walked to the kang without saying a word, and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Jade Phoenix (Green Apricot...... New Year's greetings to Mrs., New Year's greetings to the little young master and young lady! …… New Year's greetings to the Lord! ”

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, and then suddenly smiled at Qin Zheng: "Hehe, this is to ask for New Year's money!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized purse from his arms, poured out silver-white silver bills, and put them into Afu Aman's small hand, and said with a smile: "I only care about my own, come, two pieces per person." I also hope that you will be healthy and prosperous this year! ”

After speaking, he leaned over and put down the two silver bills in each small hand. The children happily kowtowed again in thanks.

Ah Fu Aman also woke up a little at this time, Ah Fu was more calm, and pulled his sister to put on his shoes and get off the kang with the help of Qiu Chen. Then, Ah Fu also learned from his mother, put the silver bills into the small hands of Qingxing and others, and said: "After a year, we are all one year older, and we must be sensible and polite, and study hard!" ”

Ah Man rubbed his eyes, also rubbed his eyes, followed behind his brother, and put the silver coin into everyone's hands a little ignorantly, while reaching out to pull Qingxing and Yufeng up, and said softly: "Sister Yufeng, Sister Qingxing...... Get up! ”

Yufeng and Qingxing still thanked the reward with a smile on their faces, and before they could get up, Qin Zheng signaled with his eyes, and Qin Li and Qin Yi also stepped forward, and handed a small purse to Yufeng with a smile: "This is what our master rewarded you!" ”

The purse was not big, but it made Yufeng's hand sink slightly, and she hurriedly took a group of children to kowtow to Qin Zheng to thank him, and then retreated with all the happy children.

"Alright, it's time to eat dumplings!" Qiu Chen greeted Afu Aman with a smile.

Ah Fu smiled, pulled Ah Man together, knelt down in front of Qiu Chen, and said crisply: "Give my mother a New Year's greeting!" ”

The smile on Qiu Chen's face bloomed, but his eyes were involuntarily covered with a layer of water, and he choked his voice and said, "Okay, okay, hurry up!" ”

As he spoke, he took out two strings of silver bills tied with a string of strings from his bosom and tied them around the waists of the two children.

Ah Fu Aman kowtowed again with a smile on his face, "Xie Lu, thank you!" ”

Then he stood up with his little hand in hand.

After getting up, Ah Fu raised his eyes to look at Qiu Chen, saw the smile on his mother's face, and also pursed his lips and smiled, pulling Ah Man to Qin Zheng on the other side, kowtowing to the New Year: "New Year's greetings to Uncle Qin!" ”

The corners of Qin Zheng's mouth twitched, leaned over to help the two children up, and directly hugged Ah Man on the kang with both arms, Qin Yi also followed Ah Fu to the kang, Qin Zheng had already taken out two red sandalwood boxes from the kang cabinet, one to Ah Fu and one to Ah Man.

Ah Fu Aman had already taken off his shoes and no longer went to the ground, so he saluted Qin Zheng on the kang and thanked him.

The lively bargaining for New Year's money came to an end, Qiu Chen reached out and hugged Aman into his arms, and put a dumpling into the little girl's plate. Qin Zheng stretched out his hand to take chopsticks and set the plate for Ah Fu, then let Ah Fu sit beside him, and also took a dumpling and put it into Ah Fu's plate.

Ah Fu Aman smiled and put the dumplings in his mouth, looking up at each other, smiling a little mysteriously.

Qiu Chen looked at the small movements of the two children, pretended to look up at Qin Zheng without knowing anything, and said with a smile: "You have to eat more dumplings this time, healthy and smooth!" ”

Qin Zheng nodded, didn't make a sound, just put a dumpling into his mouth very cooperatively.

Boom!

Qin Zheng was slightly stunned, and then spit out a piece of golden coin on the plate.

"Oh, Uncle Qin is amazing......" Ah Fu's eyes lit up with a sigh of admiration.

Aman just looked up, and then lowered his head and tried to eat the dumplings in the bowl. Aunt Daxing secretly told her that there were two money dumplings in total, and Uncle Qin had already eaten one, she must hurry up and eat the second one!

Looking at the money on the plate, Qin Zheng shook his head almost invisibly.

Seeing Qin Zheng's face, Qiu Chen said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, this money has been washed before it is put away, and it will not be dirty if it has been cooked!" ”

Qin Zheng raised his eyes to look at Qiu Chen, and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly: "It's not disgust, it's my ......"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Zheng's eyes showed a touch of helplessness and bitterness! Qiu Chen thought about it for a while, and he understood that Qin Zheng couldn't disappear from the sight of some people at this time, and he couldn't let those people forget about himself, but he didn't need to be promoted and get rich.

Qiu Chen said with a smile: "Eating money is a sign of good fortune, which means wealth and health!" ”

Rich, Qin Zheng was born before he was born, and this health alone is the most precious and rare for him. Whether it's before fame, or after fame!

Qin Zheng's face relaxed, looked at Qiu Chen with a hint of a smile, and nodded in response: "Hmm! ”

Aman ate the dumplings hard, but after all, people have small stomachs, and they only ate six dumplings if they worked hard, and they couldn't eat anymore. Looking at his brother who was still eating dumplings, Qiu Chen had already spit out the other money.

Qin Zheng raised his eyes and looked over: "Rich and healthy!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, I have only money, but I bless my son and daughter to be rich and healthy!" As he spoke, he pinched Ah Fu's face and said, "Will this money be handed over to Ah Man for safekeeping?" ”

Aman immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes, and nodded again and again in agreement: "Okay! ”

Qin Zheng looked at the two of them, directly took the teacup, rinsed the money he ate, and handed it to Ah Fu.

The two children each pinched a piece of money, looked at each other, and laughed at the same time.

After eating dumplings, Afu Aman soon became sleepy again.

Qiu Chen called Yufeng Qingxing, wrapped a cloak for Afu Aman, and she herself got up and got off the kang, put on a cloak, resigned from Qin Zheng and others, and went back to the backyard.

When I ate dumplings, I finished keeping the New Year.

Early in the morning of the second day, because the Lin family is still keeping filial piety, there is no need to go out to pay New Year's greetings, so don't get up too early.

Returning to the room, after a brief wash for herself and the two children, Niang San finally lay down in her own room and stretched her body, and the two children soon fell asleep. Qiu Chen didn't fall asleep immediately, the lights in the room were still burning, rare bright, Qiu Chen opened his eyes and looked at the snow-white roof, slightly distracted.

Coming to this world, it's been a year!

Since coming here, she has been busy with various affairs in the family workshop every day, she can rarely think of modern things, at this time, in the rich festive atmosphere, she can't help but have a sense of homesickness, but she feels that those things and characters seem to be extremely distant, distant, as if after a lifetime, or all kinds of dreams, will stay in her heart, and think about it from time to time, but it will not affect her to live here in peace and security, and strive to live a better and better life!

I don't know when, Qiu Chen fell asleep, and in the sweet black dream, he was awakened by the sound of firecrackers that was no less than Zishi.

When I opened my eyes, the window paper was still very dark, and the day was not yet dawn, and the people in the village had already gotten up to eat and prepare for the New Year.

In the sound of firecrackers one after another, she was very sleepy, but Qiu Chen did not get up in a hurry. She relaxed her whole body a little lazily, lying comfortably in the bed, and didn't think about anything, she let go of her thoughts, and lay silently, enjoying this stolen moment of leisure.

I don't know how long I lay down, Yufeng's voice sounded at the door: "Madam, it's time to get up, I'm going to worship my ancestors later!" ”

Qiu Chen retracted his thoughts that he didn't know where he had drifted, and when he came to his senses, he saw that the window paper had already turned white—I don't know when it was already bright!

Agreed, got up, Yufeng and Qingxing brought hot water in, Qiu Chen went into the ear room to wash, Qingxing woke up Afu Aman, took out the new clothes that had been prepared for Afu Aman to wear, went into the ear room to wash together, and then came out to comb his hair.

The three of them cleaned up neatly, all of them were wearing a pair of teeth-white jackets and pants, Qiu Chen was wearing an indigo-blue squirrel skin long-half-arm gown, Ah Fu was an indigo-blue squirrel skin robe, and Aman was an indigo-blue squirrel leather shoulder, with a teeth-white skirt tied underneath. One big and two looked at each other, and both laughed at the same time.

Just cleaned up, Qingxing, who went out to pour water, walked in from the outside room with a smile and talked back, saying that Daxing brought everyone over to pay New Year's greetings!

Qiu Chen smiled and greeted Yufeng: "Don't forget to take that purse!" ”

Yufeng's eyes that were not too big and thin completed the crescent moon, and said with a smile: "Madame, don't worry, this will not be forgotten!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded, too, there are also their fathers and mothers who come in outside, and this reward also has a share of their family!

took Afu Aman to the main hall, and without waiting for Daxing and others to come in, Lin Xu and Chengzi were already waiting in the house.

Afu Aman remembered that he got the New Year's money last night, and when he saw Lin Xu and Chengzi, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and kowtowed to the New Year, Chengzi hurriedly flashed a step to the side to get out of the way, Lin Xu didn't wait for the two children to kowtow, so he hurriedly smiled and leaned over to pull the two children up, and stuffed a small silver ingot in each of the two children's small hands.

Ah Fu Aman happily asked his brother to pay New Year's greetings to Chengzi, but he didn't kowtow, Chengzi hurriedly returned the salute, and also took out two small purses to stuff into Ah Fu Aman's hands.

Afua was satisfied with their respective harvests and stood aside with a smile. Lin Xu and Chengzi bowed to Qiu Chen one after the other, Lin Xu reached the ground, Chengzi kowtowed respectfully, and then took the silver skewers from Yufeng's hand and handed them to the two of them.

Immediately afterwards, the three men in Daxing were in front, and the three daughters-in-law followed behind and walked in, kowtowing to Qiu Chen to pay New Year's greetings, kowtowing to Lin Xu and Afu Aman one by one, and also happily accepted the reward of the four people, Daxing six people thanked the reward and did not quit the court, Qin Yi and Qin Li also came over with six other people to pay New Year's greetings, and Qiu Chen also happily handed over a silver coin string to the past.

Lin Xu took Chengzi and Afu Aman to Qin Yi and Qin Li and others to pay New Year's greetings, and when it was over, he took Daxing and others to the front, and gave Qin Zheng New Year's greetings, and did not go out to worship each other, so his family worshiped each other, and it took more than two quarters of an hour to worship, Lin Xu took Afu Aman to worship in front of the offering table that was cleaned up in the main hall, and then he greeted the meal and ate breakfast in the backyard.

Because there is no need to go out to pay New Year's greetings, the family does not need to go out after breakfast.

Qiu Chen took out a set of Go and took the two children and Lin Xu Chengzi to play backgammon.

It's just that there is only one set of Go, and only two people can join, and it is inevitably a little boring for others to just watch. Qiu Chen patted his head and instructed Lin Xu and Chengzi to bring thick paper and brushes. After thinking about it, he beckoned Yufeng to go to Qingjiang's house and asked for a dry jacket.

Yufeng was a little embarrassed, and reminded in a low voice: "Madam, you can't do needlework today!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at Yufeng and said with a smile: "What needlework do you do, when will you see your wife and I do a needlework, go get it, go get it!" ”

After finishing it, I didn't forget to ask Yufeng more: "Ask your mother for a small bowl of rice dumplings!" Hit with Jiang rice noodles! ”

After a while, I took the jacket and the pen and paper, and even took a small bowl of the rice dumplings made by Jiang Mi, and brought them over steaming. Out of Shunzi's guard, Daxing Qingjiang and his three daughters-in-law also followed, all wanting to see what new ideas Qiu Chen had come up with.

There are enough people, and there is no need for Qiu Chen to do it at all, the three daughters-in-law with Yufeng Qingxing quickly pasted the thick mulberry paper on a piece of blanket, and then spread it on the kang head to dry, Daxing and Qingjiang automatically ran to move several large green bricks back and pressed them on the jacket, so as not to shrink and uneven after drying.

The second piece of blanket is pasted, and the first piece of blanket has been dried, and it is flattened by the big blue bricks.

Qiu Chen instructed the three daughters-in-law to cut the pasted paper and cut it into rectangular pieces of paper of the same size. Then, she taught Lin Xu Chengzi and the two to draw various patterns on the pieces of paper. Of course, those complicated patterns can't be avoided, just draw logos and numbers such as plum blossoms and squares.

Later, even Qin Li and Qin Xiao came over to see the excitement when they heard the news, and they were also arrested by Qiu Chen and started together. Everyone started together, some people cut, some people draw, some people wrote numbers, and some others put the finished drawings on the kang head and dried the ink handwriting...... In just over half an hour, four decks of playing cards were made.

Qiu Chen beckoned the four of them to sit down, took two decks of playing cards to teach them to play upgrades, and explained the rules of the game in detail, Qiu Chen took Lin Xu, Chengzi and Qin Li to play twice, and everyone was basically familiar with the rules of the game.

Then, Qiu Chen gave up the position to Daxing, on the other side, the three daughters-in-law and the two girls made two decks of playing cards out, Qiu Chen waved his hand to stop them from doing it anymore, let the three daughters-in-law and Yufeng set up a table, and taught them to play 'run fast' with a deck of cards, this game is simpler than upgrading, and it is faster to start.

After that, he took a deck of playing cards, beckoned a group of children together, and taught them to play 'Compare the Size'.

This way of playing is simpler, several people can, everyone plays cards together, the cards go to the largest card to get, the most after who has the most cards in his hand, who is the winner. Such a simple game is just right for children to play, and it can also let children know numbers, be familiar with simple addition and subtraction, count and other mathematical knowledge, and it can be regarded as edutainment.

After the last, even Qingxing also joined the children, squeezed together on the kang to form a circle, and soon played into it, from time to time let out a cheer, a sigh, and even gave birth to a small dispute.

Watching everyone play lively, Qiu Chen took the last two decks of cards and went to the front yard.

Qin Yi and a few people were waiting in the outhouse, while Qin Zheng was sitting on the kang in the inner room, playing chess silently alone.

"Happy New Year! Only then did I remember that I hadn't given the general a New Year's greeting yet! Qiu Chen greeted with a smile, sat opposite him under Qin Zheng's peaceful gaze, and waved the two decks of playing cards in his hand, "I just came up with a kind of thing, I need four people to play together, how about it, let's play together!" ”

Qin Zheng looked at the very simple cards in Qiu Chen's hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Ye Zixi? ”

Leaf play, also known as leaf cards, pai gow, is a kind of game that appeared in the Tang and Song dynasties in ancient China, it is said to be the predecessor of modern mahjong, and some people say that modern playing cards are from the Chinese leaf cards to spread out and evolve.

Qiu Chen grinned and said, "It's not that...... It's pretty much the same! Come, I'll tell you about the rules of play......"

After explaining the rules of the game to Qin Zheng, Qiu Chen said with a smile: "Do you think that playing this also has some military strategy and tactics in it?" ”

Qin Zheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, which was considered a default. Qiu Chen beckoned Qin Yi and Qin Yong to come over and play the poker upgrade game together.

The first two Qin Zheng and the three of them were still very jerky, and after playing two or three, Qin Zheng first became familiar with it, and the cards gradually became more accurate. After another one or two, even Qin Yi and Qin Yong became familiar with the game, Qiu Chen, the initiator, completely lost his initial advantage, and had to concentrate and concentrate on coping, but he still couldn't make any money. Fortunately, she and Qin Zheng are together, with Qin Zheng as the main player, and she as an assistant, most of the time, she will not lose the game.

The time for the game to play passed quickly. The morning passed. A few of the Daxing family didn't forget to cook, the family divided into several tables and had a simple lunch, and Qiu Chen took the children back to the house to make up for sleep. Everyone else went back to their homes to rest.

After a good night's sleep, it was already dark, and the family had a brief dinner, and then they got together again to play poker.

In such a hurry, the first and second days of the Lunar New Year passed, and the third day of the new year was the day when the local daughter married and returned to her parents' home.

Qiu Chen was going to Yang's shop, this Qiu Chen specially asked, even if a person like her who guards filial piety does not hinder it, so on the night of the second day of junior high school, he did not play poker, Qiu Chen took the family to pack the gifts, rested early, and prepared to leave for his parents' house early in the morning of the third day of the junior year.

On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was slightly bright, Qiu Chen got up with Afu Aman, dressed and washed, had breakfast, and the sky was bright.

The clear blue sky and the rising sun in the east indicate that this will be a good sunny day.

Qiu Chen took Lin Xu and Ah Fu Aman to the front yard, but unexpectedly saw Qin Zheng coming out of the house, wearing a royal blue brocade robe wrapped in fox fur...... Is he going out too?

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, Qin Zheng had already walked over naturally, leaned over and hugged Ah Fu, and beckoned Qiu Chen to say, "Let's go!" ”

After blinking, Qiu Chen remembered that when the poplar tree walked away a year ago, Qin Zheng said that he would go back to visit the Yang family after the New Year...... She didn't pay attention to the parting feelings at the time, but now she realized that he had planned to go back to her parents' house with her!

No, no, it's not something he planned or didn't plan for a long time, the important thing is that he, a young man, followed her back to his parents' house on such a day when he was married...... Well, isn't that inappropriate?

In this way, it seems that it is easy to cause misunderstanding among others, right?

Qin Zheng took two steps and found that Qiu Chen hadn't caught up, so he stopped, hugged Ah Fu and looked back: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Uh......" Qiu Chen answered, opening his mouth, but he couldn't say what he was thinking.

Could it be that she said that it is not appropriate for him to follow him on the day he returns to the door today? Or is it easy for him to follow her mother and son back to his parents' house like this?

Either way, it seems to be a bit self-inflicted. People should just go and visit their elders...... Right? In addition to this reason, although Qiu Chen felt that it was not appropriate, even she would not believe that the other party really had any hidden purpose in doing this.

She is a widow with two children, even a promising man from an ordinary family will be picky and disgusting, not to mention, she is a woman from a mountain village, he is a man with great military achievements and prestige, even if he is a high-quality diamond king in the noble circle of the capital, it is not an exaggeration to say that his status and identity are very different, even if they get along quite happily, even if she helps him heal, she does not believe that people will give birth to the idea of marrying her as a widow!

Opening his mouth, Qiu Chen lowered his head a little dejectedly. Forget it, she shouldn't be cranky, anyway, Yang Shumeng and Yang Shuyong all know Qin Zheng, come to think of it, at this time, Begonia's father and mother have already known about his existence, so it is not too abrupt for him to follow him to visit......

Qiu Chen was about to walk forward with Aman, Lin Xu came over and stretched out his hand to pick up Aman: "Sister-in-law, I'll hold Aman!" ”

Qiu Chen nodded confusedly, lowered his eyes, and raised his feet to follow the footsteps of the person in front of him.

After this, Qiu Chen saw outside the gate that three cars had been set, and he didn't have any feelings. The cyan felt curtain cart at the front of the three cars is Qin Zheng's car.

Obviously, they have planned to arrange it for a long time, but they haven't noticed it!

I was suffocated in my heart, and I was exhaled hard by Qiu Chen.

Forget it, it seems that everyone is ready, and it is useless for her to stop it, so she simply won't say anything. Speaking of which, when people go to visit Begonia's parents and elders, it is also for her face, which is a kind of feedback to her!

In addition, this person took refuge in such a small isolated mountain village as Liujiaao, and after a year, he was not able to visit his friends or relatives...... If she didn't take him with her, it would really leave Qin Zheng alone at home...... It also seems a little rude......

Finding a reason for his peace of mind in his heart, Qiu Chen naturally walked to the second carriage.

Qin Zheng stopped beside the carriage and looked back, looking at the obviously absent-minded woman, regardless of the entourage placement or the two children, she walked directly towards the carriage, as if she wanted to get on the carriage directly. Qin Zheng, who knew a little about the reason, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes showed slightly, and Qin Li was immediately ordered to run over and pass a message to Qiu Chen.

"Madam, our lord invites you to go to the car in front ......" Qin Li said, seeing Qiu Chen's surprised expression, he quickly explained, "The car behind is loaded with luggage, and this car is going to be given to the girls." The car in front of me was spacious, and the bumps were lighter! ”

Now that he has decided to take Qin Zheng with him, Qiu Chen no longer cares whether he can sit in a car or not. After listening to Qin Li's explanation, there was no awkwardness, and then nodded and turned around to go to the first car.

Qiu Chen walked over, Lin Xu also sent Aman over, Qiu Chen nodded to Qin Zheng, and then stepped on the car, Qin Zheng carefully stretched out his hand to protect him, sent Qiu Chen and the two children into the car, closed the door tightly, put down the felt curtain, and then turned around and took the big black horse sent by Qin Yong and stepped on the horse. Lin Xu and Chengzi followed Qin Li, Qin Yong and the other two guards followed closely and got on the horse, Qin Zheng nodded slightly, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and set off.

Yufeng was left to watch the house, and Qingxing and Qingshan's family followed. Shunzi Qingshan drove the car, and Daxing and Qin Yi and Qin Xiao stayed at home with two guards.

Seeing that Mrs. got into the carriage, Qingxing and Qingshanjia hurriedly got into the second car, and the two had just gotten into the car, and before they could sit down, the carriage rushed forward and began to get on the road.

Since the heavy snowfall a year ago, there has been no snow for a month, and the road surface is frozen and hard, so that although the weather is cold, the road is still easy to walk. Qin Zheng's car doesn't look particularly eye-catching, and it doesn't have too luxurious decorations, but the interior space is much larger than the Lin family's car, and I don't know how the structure is built, and the bumps are really much lighter.

There is a small dark lattice at the door of the carriage, open to put shoes inside, the carriage is covered with thick felt, and there are four or five soft cushions, people can sit in it, lean, or lie down, and you can also put down the table on the wall of the car, there is a low table in the center of the carriage, it is very convenient to drink tea, read, and even eat.

Because they were going to their grandmother's house, the two children were very excited, and when they entered the carriage, they clucked and squeezed to the window, lifted the curtain and looked out. The winter wind blew in from the window of the car ahead, blowing his face painfully, Qiu Chen was afraid that the children would be blown by the wind and suffer from the cold, so he coaxed Afu Aman back, let the two little ones snuggle on the cushion, and she told the two stories to the two. Qin Li knocked on the door of the carriage and brought a pot of hot tea to Qiu Chen's wife: "Madam, there is nowhere to eat on the road at this time, so we won't stop on the road." Mrs. and Xiaojie are hungry and thirsty, and they drink tea and eat a snack cushion first...... There is a snack in this cell. ”

Qiu Chen thought about it slightly, and it was clear, this time the New Year is much more solemn, many businesses have been closed until the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first month, and then reopened for business, and there is nowhere to eat on the third day of the new year.

It's just that the last time she didn't arrive until the middle of Shen Shi in the afternoon, if she had been on the road to Shen Shi, she and the children would have been fine, and the people on horseback would not be able to stand the cold and hunger.

"When will we be there? If it's too long, why not find a sheltered place to stop and rest for a while! ”

"Madame, don't worry, it's easy to walk all the way today, and you will probably be there before the beginning of the day!" Qin Li said with a smile, and after speaking, he didn't forget to advise, "Madame or filial piety has instructions, even if you call, the little one is outside the door." ”

The wheels and horses trampled on the hooves, all the way to Anping County, but in the middle of the hour.

Just after the New Year, merchants, restaurants, and even tea stalls did not come out to do business, because the group did not enter Anping City, and stopped for a while under a closed tea shed in the west of the city.

Before, Qiu Chen was worried that Lin Xu and Chengzi would not be able to stand it if they had not ridden a horse for a long time, but when they got out of the car, they saw that the two children did not see too much fatigue, especially Chengzi, who was still in good spirits. Qiu Chen understood the reason after thinking about it, and after thinking about it, the exercise for more than a month has already had some effect.

The car did not detour to Anyang Mansion, but directly cut it diagonally from a fork in the road and went straight to Yang's shop, which also saved some time.

As Qin Li estimated, at the end of noon, the group had already seen the Yang family's shop hidden among the branches of the trees from a distance.

Qiu Chen said that the New Year was coming a few years ago, and Yang Shumeng took Junwen Junshu and wanted to come out to greet him, but he didn't expect Qiu Chen and his party to come so quickly, and before they could go out, the carriage had already stopped at the door.

Almost as soon as they entered the village, many children gathered around and followed behind the carriage, and when the carriage stopped, these children would rush and shout, and the news would be passed on far and wide.

Junyan Junzhang was playing in the yard with Junli, and as soon as he heard the screams of the children outside, he rushed out of the yard as soon as possible, and shouted into the house while running out: "Grandpa, my aunt has arrived!" ”

Qiu Chen got out of the car with the two children of Ah Fu and Aman, and Jun Yan and Jun Zhang had already rushed to the side of the car. However, the two children recognized the wrong car and went straight to the second car, which was usually the one where the aunt was sitting. They didn't expect that their aunt would go out today to change the carriage.

"Third brother and fourth brother!" Ah Fu shouted excitedly when he saw Junyan Junzhang.

Junyan Junzhang also saw Qingxing and Qingjiang's family in the car, and was stunned, and when he heard Ah Fu's call, he immediately left Qingxing and Qingjiang's family and ran, and rushed up regardless of it. Junyan even completely forgot about the usual mistake with Aman, stretched out his hand and directly held Aman's little hand, and was about to take Aman down on tiptoe.

Aman was also very happy to see his brothers who had been separated for more than ten days, and his soft little body threw himself into Junyan's arms without hesitation, and he hugged Junyan and shouted: "Third brother!" But Junyan and Aman obviously overestimated Junyan's ability to bear, and also underestimated the fleshy Aman's very weighty, Aman expressed his affection one by one, and Junyan, who pounced straight forward, fell backwards again and again, and watched him step on a log behind.

Qin Li reached out and grabbed Jun Yan's collar, let the two children stand firmly, raised his hand and knocked on Jun Yan's head unceremoniously: "It looks like you've been lazy these days, right?" Go back and double your morning and evening workouts! ”

"Hey, Master Li, don't wow!" Junyan wailed.

Qiu Chen couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this scene, Jun Yan saw Ah Fu Ah Man, and saw that the masters didn't even say hello, no wonder Qin Li wanted to punish him.

However, she didn't plan to talk much, the children were not rude, but because the brothers and sisters were separated for a while, it was understandable that they ignored others because they were particularly affectionate.

Qin Li carried Ah Fu out of the car, and when Junzhang picked up Ah Fu very knowingly, he greeted Qin Li and Qin Yong, and then greeted his aunt.

Qin Zheng had already dismounted and walked over, raising his hand to help Qiu Chen get out of the car.

"Auntie!" Junyan and Junzhang all shouted happily. Junli was a little behind, and looked at it very shyly.

Qiu Chen touched Junyan Junzhang and smiled: "Are you two doing these days?" Do you read and write? ”

Junyan Junzhang nodded again and again, indicating that he had not forgotten to study.

Qiu Chen walked past them, saw the shy Junli, and simply walked over, stretched out his hand to pick up Junli, and held him in his arms. beckoned Qin Zheng to go home.
