Chapter 21: The Return

The Chen family's mouth was not idle along the way, she took her youngest son by the hand, and introduced her family one by one neatly, secretly seeing that An Ruyi did not show impatience, so she continued to start with who was good at what to do.

For example, her father-in-law Chen Ping and uncle Chen An usually follow them out to run errands, and they are quite familiar with the large and small roads and various shops in the town, which one is not kind, and where the place is.

For example, Chen Ping and Chen An can also do craftsman's work, and can write baskets and baskets.

For example, she has her own cooking skills, and the dishes she cooks can barely be eaten. I also know some embroidery skills, and it doesn't take much effort to make a dress or something.

For example, her daughter Lotus has been helping to work since she was five or six years old, and her hands and feet are very neat, although her son is still young, she can still do some small work, and she will not be naughty and messy.

An Ruyi listened while following Chen Ping and Chen An to the mule and horse market. There was no comment on the Chen family's words. Now I like her kind of temperament, and she will be entertained if she has nothing to do all the way, and she can also learn more about the family she newly bought. She has seen a lot of people in her previous life, and she knows that it is not that people buy it back and forget it, if the master can't suppress people, it is not uncommon for a big family to be a slave and bully the master, steal the master's property, and torture the little master in private.

But she is still confident in her own provocative vision. This family may not be too perfect, but they are right-eyed, not like those who are used to sneaking and playing tricks.

In fact, even if she really accidentally looks at the wrong person, she is not afraid. Now she has the strength and confidence, and she won't worry about any slaves and bullies at all.

The mule and horse market arrived, and in the afternoon, the people were almost scattered, and the remaining cattle were either old, weak, sick and disabled, or the price was too high to be picked.

Anyway, An Ruyi doesn't mind spending two extra dollars. It's just that she has never been in contact with this kind of thing in her two lives, so naturally she can only watch the excitement as a layman. Fortunately, the two brothers Chen Ping and Chen An looked very familiar with each other, and the bargaining was very decent. Soon they bought the first two-year-old calf for ten taels of silver, and then another two taels for an ox cart with a carriage.

Seeing that there was still time, An Ruyi thought that this family did not have a change of clothes and covers, so she simply went to the nearest one, and the Chen brothers said that the cloth village with a good reputation picked cloth, cotton needlework and the like. Then I went to buy some daily utensils, pots and pans, etc., and bought some rice, noodles, vegetables and other things to carry them to the car.

Knowing that these fabrics and cotton were specially bought for their own families, everyone's eyes showed emotion, and the Chen family even said a carload of flattering words along the way, and even Liu Yue listened to it and looked at her curiously. It wasn't until An Ruyi showed an impatient look that she stopped smiling.

Chen Ping Chen An was driving the car outside, and the others were sitting in the carriage, although there were many things, they were not crowded, much better than when they came, and there was no problem with one or two more people.

At the appointed time, I arrived at the place where the people of Liujia Village parked. The people in Liujia Village have already arrived. Seeing An Ruyi getting off a brand-new ox cart, followed by many people, they were all a little curious.

An Ruyi didn't explain much, said to the driver, and invited Sister-in-law Zhang to get into her car together.

Sister-in-law Zhang also followed the car unceremoniously, and she took out two strings of sugar gourds to Liu Huairan and Liu Yue. Along the way, An Ruyi took out the words of Huairan's apprenticeship again, only concealed the immortal master's statement, and changed it to Huairan's master who was tired of wandering around the rivers and lakes, and happened to accept apprentices and wanted to buy a few acres of land in the village to build a Zhuangzi to settle down, and then collect some apprentices and grandchildren in the future. Even the family he bought was pushed to Liu Huairan's "master".

Sister-in-law Zhang listened to it on the side, and suddenly at the same time couldn't help but envy An Ruyi's good luck, she gave birth to a good son and followed it, but she didn't feel jealous or anything, let alone have any thoughts that shouldn't be born because of this.

An Ruyi also took the pastries she bought, and took out a large bag for her to take back to Zhang Kang to eat, Sister-in-law Zhang saw that she was not as embarrassed as she was in the past, and these pastries would not cause a burden to her, so she generously took it and opened a piece and put it in her mouth, and said with a smile: "I will use it first." This is the dim sum of the Lin family's dim sum shop, right? These pastries look good, I can't imagine that they taste even better, I am reluctant to buy them for him on weekdays, thanks to you, Kang'er will definitely be happy when he sees it. ”

An Ruyi was also very happy to see her like this, Sister-in-law Zhang's personality has always been her favorite, she didn't want her to be separated from herself because she was rich, and she lost such a good neighbor.

Sister-in-law Zhang's temper is a bit of the opposite of the Chen family, and the more they chatted along the way, the more speculative they became, one talked about what they saw in the town, and the other talked about the strengths and weaknesses of each person in the village.

The children also listened to it with relish one by one, although the dog egg didn't understand, but chewed the sugar gourd given to him by Liu Huairan in his mouth, his little cheeks bulged like a little hamster who was stealing food, and his little face was red and fluttering, and he looked excited. Hearing this, the children laughed, and he giggled. Liu Huairan fed him one by one when he saw it interestingly.

Liu Yue saw it, and also followed himself to eat one, and held it up to let the lotus flower eat one too. At first, the lotus did not dare to eat it, so I secretly looked at my mother. Under An Ruyi's signal, the Chen family nodded lightly at her, and she began to eat happily, while carefully guarding Liu Yue, so that she would not sway by the shaking of the ox cart, and carefully stared at her for fear that she would be poked by the wooden stick of the sugar gourd.

An Ruyi saw everything in her eyes, intuitively chose the right person, and was very satisfied.

Listening to the laughter coming from the car, the two brothers Chen Ping and Chen An, who were driving outside, glanced at each other, and there was a smile in each other's eyes, and they drove more carefully to follow the ox cart in the village while remembering the route.

The happy time always flies, and soon arrives at the entrance of Liujia Village. An Ruyi's ox cart unsurprisingly attracted the curiosity and various speculations of the villagers.

Liu Huairan got out of the car and instructed the two brothers to drive all the way home.

After getting out of the cart and driving the cattle into the yard, it began to get dark. An Ruyi secretly observed and found that several people did not show dissatisfaction or contempt because of the simplicity of the house, and their evaluation of them was even higher.

The whole village of Liujia Village is not big, there are about 60 families, the whole village is only more than 200 people, the whole village is located in the canyon, surrounded by mountains and forests on three sides, the only road to the outside is tortuous and narrow, only barely able to accommodate a mule cart or ox cart to pass.

The Liu clan here may not be prosperous, but there is special unity among the clans on weekdays.

Because there is very little fertile land in the village and most of it is barren mountainous land, most of the people in the village rely on hunting in the mountains for a living. Therefore, although the folk customs are simple, they are also quite strong.

Liu Yue guessed that when her husband took Liu Rong and herself to settle here, did she also have a little self-deception. Is it because the name of this village makes him feel that he was not actually expelled from his family, and that he lied to himself that this is his hometown?

Thinking of her husband Liu Heng, An Ruyi suddenly felt a little gloomy, and she had a feeling that she didn't know how to face him. In her last life, she liked him very much, and she liked him so much that she regarded him as a thousand times more important than herself.

Even after going through so much, in this life, she can still feel that her liking for him has not changed. This feeling made her very entangled.

And the more she likes him, the more scared she is now. It was an extremely contradictory feeling of both desperate to see and glad that we didn't have to see each other for a while.

Alas.
