Chen Jiacheng quickly went to the county seat to customize the spring water stone platform, and continued to drive the carriage to the east gate of the city in the other direction of Li County.

Out of the East City Gate, along the way there are some steep mountains and forests on the left, and most of the fields on the right.

After passing through several villages, Chen Jiacheng turned from a dirt road on the right to the mountain, and it had taken more than two hours to walk from the county seat to here, and it was the result of his quick horse, if he had changed to walking, it would have taken a day to walk from home to his grandmother's house.

When his mother was working for the embroidery workshop in the county, he was introduced by a matchmaker who knew his father, because her mother not only did not ask for any bride price, but also brought some dowry earned by herself.

And although my grandmother thought that my mother was far away, I heard that my father was still taking the entrance examination, so I thought that maybe I could make a difference, so I agreed, after all, the girl is not too young. The main reason is that his mother fell in love with his father, and there was no way, so the grandmother's family, who spoiled her daughter, was in tears, and brought everything she could bring to her daughter, and then married to her husband's family, hoping to get a look at her husband's family.

Shaking his head and getting rid of the cranky thoughts in his heart, Chen Jiacheng didn't know if his grandmother would blame him, because after all, he was also a member of the Chen family, and he hadn't let his mother enjoy a few days of happiness, if it weren't for Pei Yao, I was afraid that he would still be fighting with the barbarians on the battlefield now.

Then it is difficult to say whether the mother and sister of the family can survive the winter, except for the lack of food and clothing, but later in the shop I saw acquaintances in the village chatting, saying that on a snowy night after his family moved away, the mud and straw house collapsed.

It's scary to think about it, if he doesn't come back, the only house that the mother can shelter from the wind and rain will collapse again

After turning the rugged mountain road, I finally came to a deserted and sparse house in the ravine, there are few daughters-in-law in the mountains who are willing to marry in, they are all married out of the country, and there are few fields in the mountains, so they mostly rely on hunting to earn some money, which is also more dangerous. Therefore, there are fewer and fewer people in the mountains, and those who can afford them have moved to the village next to the official road.

Seeing the carriage driving into the village, adults and children called out to watch, curious to see whose house the handsome offspring was going.

I didn't expect to go to Lao He's house on the side of the mountain, how long has his family not been an outsider, even the daughter who married out has heard of it is not good, and he will not come back for a few years.

Chen Jiacheng didn't know the people in the village, but he also smiled and nodded very politely, and when he saw that the elders were also called uncles and uncles, he didn't know them yet, so he got the unanimous favor of the villagers!

And the little uncle He Xiaohu and grandmother He Shi in the house heard the sound outside, and they didn't go out to see, anyway, it has nothing to do with his family, and their own family is poor and has no relatives to interact with at all, not to mention, now He Xiaohu and they are worried.

He Xiaohu, who is already twenty this year, is an older young man, and now it is not easy to go out of the village to Donggou Village, which is more ravines than his family, a matchmaker introduced a girl there, and she is not young This year is also 19, she is the eldest in the family, her father and mother are gone, and she relies on the girl to pull out three younger siblings, she is good and capable, but it is a pity that she wants to marry a person who can afford the bride price, saying that it is two taels of silver, which is equivalent to selling herself to marry as a cow and a horse, just to use the bride price to live for the younger brothers and sisters.

The matchmaker said that if it weren't for the fact that the eldest brother was already 15 years old this year, the eldest sister would still refuse to marry, saying that she was not worried about her younger brothers and sisters.

The He family has saved a few silver coins by hunting over the years, but because He had a stroke a while ago, he lay in bed for several days, and then asked the doctor to prescribe medicine and spent almost all the money, and now the family has only a few hundred dollars, or after He can get out of bed, he refuses to drink the rest of the medicine.

Until now, her hand has also fallen sequelae, her right arm does not obey the call, and even cooking has become a problem, and when her son is not at home, she uses her left hand to cook porridge and eat pickles, and it is not possible to cut vegetables.

Outside, Chen Jiacheng saw from a distance that his grandmother's house was still an old place, and he had been here a few times when he was a child, and his impression was there, but now it is even more broken, although he can see that the owner has made up it with his heart, but the house is too old, and there are ugly 'patches' everywhere.

As soon as he approached the stone-walled courtyard, Chen Jiacheng shouted loudly: "Grandmother, are you at home, little uncle?" ”

The mother and son in the house had just taken the gruel to lunch, when they heard someone shouting at the door, and when He heard that he was called his grandmother, his left hand, which was not very stable, trembled violently, and his voice trembled: "Xiaohu, do you listen to whether you call us, whether it is Jiacheng, quickly!" Fast! Go out and check it out! ”

He Shi trembled and put down the bowl in his hand, and saw that her son ran out, she also stood up on the table and wanted to go out, but before she reached the door, she saw a young man who looked down in the door of the room, and saw that the eyebrows were Chen Jiacheng against the light!

When Chen Jiacheng entered the house, he saw his grandmother standing at the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand.

"Grandmother, sit down, where do you want to go down to the ground to pick it up, it's the grandson who is not filial."

He Shi's mouth trembled and he couldn't speak, but he grabbed Chen Jiacheng's hand tightly with that good hand, and held it hard, tears streaming down.

I heard that my grandson also went to be a soldier, and He knew that my daughter was afraid that she would be even more sad, but I didn't expect my grandson to come back in a good way, and come to see his wife, I was really content!

He Xiaohu in the back carried the package stuffed by his nephew to himself, and also followed in and said, "Mother, sit down, how embarrassed are you if you don't sit at home." ”

He finally stopped his tears, promised to go back to the table with "oops" in his mouth, withdrew his hand and wiped his eyes and asked, "When did Jiacheng come back, why didn't your mother come?" ”

"Grandmother, what's wrong with your right hand, I don't think you have moved." Chen Jiacheng did not answer her question, but noticed that he had not seen his grandmother's right hand since he entered the house.

His arm was not good, so He turned his body to the side and covered it up and said, "It's okay, grandmother is fine, have you eaten, let your brother-in-law take the dishes and chopsticks to eat." ”

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Jiacheng pulled her arm with a stiff face, and saw that her arm was stiff and couldn't cooperate at all.

Seeing his expression, He hurriedly said: "Jiacheng, it's okay, I was sick a few days ago, and I found a doctor to prescribe medicine to eat, and now this is cured, and this disease has to be slowly raised." ”

He looked back and saw that his brother-in-law also nodded, and he knew that his grandmother didn't coax him, and his heart was okay, and he would go to the county seat to find a good doctor to take a look, and now he was not in a hurry when he just met.

Seeing that there was a small layer of porridge in the bowl on the table, and the bowl of the two of them was also sparse, my heart was sour, it seemed that my grandmother and my little uncle were not living well.
