After two days of traveling, Shen Qiao's mother and daughter finally arrived at the hometown of the Zhou couple, Taiping Village, a small village in the east of Qianxian County. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When passing by Jiangyuan Town, a small town to which Taiping Village belongs, Zhou stopped the car for a while, and she got out of the car to buy some quilts and pots and pans.

She planned to live in the village in the future, and while there was a carriage, she prepared the necessary things first.

"Mother, it's getting late now, the house has not been lived in for so many years, can we live in the past?"

Walking into the path of Taiping Village, Shen Qiao remembered to ask this question.

She has encountered cases along the way, and she hasn't had time to think about this problem.

Zhou smiled and said, "Yes, after a while, my mother will take some time to clean up the two rooms first, one for the two of us, and one for Gu Gongzi, stay first, and when it is dawn tomorrow, I will clean up the house again, isn't it okay!" ”

"Alright! That's all there is to it. ”

Shen Qiao said helplessly.

As long as you have a stable place to live in the future.

Regarding Zhou's stubborn idea of sending her father's ashes back to her hometown, she can still understand that the fallen leaves return to the roots, whether it is ancient or modern, I am afraid that they all have such thoughts.

"Huh? Who are you? ”

At this time, the carriage stopped in front of a small farmhouse courtyard, and a middle-aged man about the same age as Zhou stood in the fence next to the car and asked.

Zhou looked at the faint oil light on the carriage, his face was happy, and said, "Brother Yuan, it's me, the Shen family." ”

After speaking, Zhou got out of the carriage.

The person in the fence was called Yuan Hai, the only son of the Zhou neighbor's family, and he was the same age as Shen Qiao's father.

"Shen San's?"

Yuan Haihu looked at Zhou suspiciously.

"The sea! Who's out there? ”

At this time, an old lady's shout came from the neighbor's house.

"Mother, some people say it's Shen San's daughter-in-law, come out and have a look!"

Yuan Hai turned around and said a word inside, then walked a few steps, and went out to the carriage.

"Brother Yuan, I am really from Shen San's family, when I left with Shen San, was your kid just full moon? That year, Uncle Yuan took the child to the old gentleman in the town and named him Yuan Qingjun, nicknamed Huzi, am I right? ”

Seeing that Yuan Hai didn't recognize her, Zhou said hurriedly.

After Yuan Hai heard this, he looked at Zhou carefully, and he found that it was a bit similar!

But the house next door hadn't been home for twenty years, and he still didn't dare to be sure at once, for fear of recognizing the wrong person.

"Qingfang? But Qingfang is back? ”

At this time, three women came out of the next room, one was about the same age as Zhou's and the other was about the same age as Shen Qiao, supporting an old lady in her fifties.

The old lady walked over, stepped forward to take Zhou's hand, and asked.

"Aunt Lin, it's me, I'm Qingfang!"

When Zhou saw the old lady of the Yuan family, tears fell from his eyes with excitement, and he held Aunt Lin's hand back.

"Hey, you bastard, isn't this Qingfang? What else do you suspect? ”

After Aunt Lin was excited, she slapped Yuan Hai and said.

"Mother, haven't I been afraid to admit it for a long time? Besides, Shen San is not together, how dare I admit it casually? ”

Yuan Hai touched his head, like a child.

"Humph! If you don't have eyesight, it's not as good as my old woman's eyesight! Aunt Lin glared at Yuan Hai, then looked at Zhou again, and said, "Qingfang, where is the third child?" The third didn't come back together? ”

After Aunt Lin asked, she looked behind Zhou, a carriage, and there were two men and a girl standing next to it, but she didn't see Shen San.

As soon as Zhou heard this, the tears couldn't stop falling and began to fall.

"What's the matter! You kid, why are you crying when you talk well? ”

Aunt Lin was a little flustered, and she intuitively felt that something had happened to Shen San.

"Mother, let Qingfang and them go into the house and talk! It's getting late! ”

At this time, the middle-aged woman beside Aunt Lin, who was also Yuan Hai's daughter-in-law, persuaded Liu.

As soon as she came out, she saw the carriage and Shen Qiao, Gu Xuan, and Ngawang standing next to her.

"Oh, yes, yes, Qingfang, let's go into the house and talk. Those three people are the children of you and Shen San, together, all together. ”

Aunt Lin guessed Shen Qiao's identity by herself, and then invited a few people into the house.

"No, no. Aunt Lin, that's my daughter Qiaoqiao, next to Gu Gongzi and his little servant, we met on the road, and we happened to be on the same road, so they sent our mother and daughter back. ”

Zhou hurriedly corrected.

"Oh, that's okay too. The door is full of guests, since you are here, then go into the house and sit for a while. The sea, go and help that little brother lead their horses aside! ”

Aunt Lin pulled Zhou's and instructed her son as she spoke.

"Okay, mother."

Yuan Hai agreed, and walked towards the carriage.

Gu Xuan asked Ah Wang to follow Yuan Hai to tie the horse, and then followed Shen Qiao into the Yuan family's house.

After entering the house, the Zhou family took Shen Qiaocai to get acquainted with the Yuan family again.

The girl who was about the same age as Shen Qiao was called Yuan Qingyan, just sixteen, one year older than Shen Qiao.

There is still one person in their family who is not at home, that is, Yuan Hai's eldest son, Yuan Qingjun, who has already married a wife, was admitted to Xiucai, and followed his wife and children to be a gentleman in the town's school, while continuing to study and prepare for next year's exam.

Zhou told the Yuan family the news that Shen Qiao's father had passed away, and explained that he would live in the village with his daughter in the future.

Aunt Lin sighed, lamenting that the world is impermanent, she was still a kid when she went out, and she turned into a handful of ashes when she came back.

"Mother, this matter is over, let's not talk about it, Qingfang and Qiaoqiao must be very sad."

Liu persuaded his mother-in-law.

Aunt Lin reacted at this time, changed her expression hurriedly, and said with concern: "Qiao Qiao looks about the same age as Yanzi, right?" Can you get someone? ”

Zhou shook his head and said, "Qiaoqiao is seventeen years old this year, and he hasn't allowed anyone yet." Her father's matter, she has to delay for another two or three years! ”

Shen Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that the old ladies' favorite thing was to be a matchmaker, and she didn't want to come to this place, and someone was enthusiastic to introduce them every day.

Moreover, her object can't be found casually, at least, not in the village, because she can't do farm work and housework, even if she looks good, but I believe that no family likes a daughter-in-law who can't do anything, she still shouldn't harm people here.

"That's true. However, this day of marriage can not be rushed, but people can be optimistic first! Our swallow is sixteen years old, and it was only given at the beginning of the year, but it is late in the village. I think, why don't I inquire one day and see if anyone is willing to wait for two or three years? ”

Aunt Lin continued to say enthusiastically.

"Yes. Grandma Lin, don't look for it, I'm willing to wait for Qiaoqiao. I haven't gotten married yet, so it's okay to wait for Qiaoqiao for another two years. ”

At this time, Gu Xuan, who had not spoken, spoke.
