Chapter 372: The Return of the Brothers
"The fourth master is back so soon?" Chunliu's eyes widened, the county seat is not a town, it's not close at all!
"It's not that I want to see the fourth wife earlier, the masters of our family are all good men, and they all love their daughters-in-law!" Xia He said with a smile that all the men in the Li family are single-minded and don't have too many fancy intestines, and they live easily here.
Over there, the Hu family was directing Zheng Hailian and the children to clean up, and they saw that Li Anxi had come back in a hurry, and this speed also surprised them.
"Sister-in-law, how is Lian'er?" Li Anxi's first sentence was to ask Zheng Hailian's situation.
"Don't worry, it's okay, the child is fine, it's not like we just cleaned up, I'm already asleep, you go and see, be quiet, don't wake people up!" Hu whispered.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Li Anxi went to another room to change his clothes before coming back, riding a horse and running all the way, covered in mud, he was afraid that dirty things would be brought into the house.
Today, the Li family's dinner was very late, mainly to help take care of Zheng Hailian and the newborn little girl, except for the children who were full and fell asleep, the adults of the Li family were busy until midnight.
The Niu family and the Hu family are still sleeping unsteadily, so they stay in the courtyard of the four rooms, afraid that the maid will not take care of them carefully, fortunately, Zheng Hailian is not a teenage girl, her body has matured, and this baby has not suffered too many crimes, and it is quite smooth.
The next day, the Li family went to each house to report the good news and tell relatives and friends the good news, which is relatively close, unlike the county seat, which is all nearby.
The Zheng family, Zheng Mu and Zheng Dayu set off early in the morning, and the carriage on the road was also fast, and when they arrived, the sun had just risen.
"My family, why did you come so early, you set off before dawn, thank you for your hard work!" The Niu family hurriedly came out to greet them, and Zheng Hailian imported the Li family, and they were happy.
"No, no, what about taking the car, not tired, how is Lian'er now?"
"I just got up, I've already eaten, haven't you eaten? I'll have someone serve you a hot meal first! After Niu finished speaking, he ordered Chunliu and Xia He.
The two maids were the first to come to the Li family, and they were very familiar with everything, and whenever something happened, the Li family habitually called the two of them, which was much easier than using others.
"No need, I'll go see Lian'er first, don't mind my in-laws, I don't feel at ease if I don't see it!" Mother Zheng was a little embarrassed, as if she was not taken care of by the Li family.
"Okay, okay, it's okay to eat after reading it, when my daughter has a baby, I'm like this, I can't eat without looking at it!" Niu smiled, since Zheng Hailian was born, his mouth has not been closed.
They are all mothers, they are all so old, they can understand each other's feelings.
Zheng's mother came to Li Anxi's yard under the leadership of Niu's, when they went in, Zheng Hailian was breastfeeding the child, wrapped in a headscarf and ruddy, without the weakness that had just given birth, it seems that the Li family took good care of it, and the body was okay, Zheng's mother was relieved.
"Mother, are you here?" Originally, Zheng Hailian's eyes had been looking at the child lovingly, but she felt that someone was watching her, and when she looked up, she saw Zheng's mother at the door. Very pleasantly surprised.
After saying that, she was about to move outside, and she was now sitting in the middle of the kang.
"Don't don't, Lian'er, sit down, the child is still breastfeeding, look at you, it's not stable at all!" Mother Zheng rushed over with an arrow and pulled Zheng Hailian to prevent her from moving.
"That mother, you sit!" Zheng Hailian is now full of satisfaction, and her mother has come to see her.
"I'm relieved to see that you're doing well, this kid is exactly the same as when you were a child!" Mother Zheng's loving eyes seemed to be dripping water, and when she saw her little granddaughter's pink appearance, she thought that her daughter was lying in her arms like this twenty years ago, and she was so big in a blink of an eye.
After the Niu family sent Zheng's mother over, they went out to leave the space for their mother and daughter, as for Zheng Dayu, it was Li Anxi who later took the child out for him to see.
Zheng Dayu and his wife stayed at Li's house. It wasn't until the child's happy noodles were eaten that they left, the conditions of the Li family were much better than their home, there was floor heating in winter, it was not cold at all, and the couple lived for so many days, so they decided that they didn't have to go to the Zheng family for the full moon!
The county seat is too far away from Lijia Village, and for a child who has just completed the moon, it is freezing outside, and they dare not take risks, all for the safety of Zheng Hailian's mother and daughter, and the Li family is extremely happy.
In the blink of an eye, the little girl doll has been a month, the time has entered the wax moon, the weather is getting colder and colder, this is the coldest time of the year, Li Yujin's Tanggu County and Li Yuqian's Qingyuan County are also suffering from the cold.
But this year is much better than in previous years, so I don't have to go hungry anymore, although I can't eat a full meal, I can't eat meat every day, but this life is already heaven for them, anyway, there is no work in winter, the big guys are all nested at home, two meals a day.
At this time, the land in every place began to freeze, the men did not have to work, and nothing happened in the county, according to the regulations of the imperial court, every official has annual leave during his tenure, and the time is not long, half a month to twenty days, depending on your own ability.
If you can deal with the things at hand in advance, you can go home to visit relatives in advance, Li Yujin and Li Yuqian began to prepare early, until they can rest assured that the affairs of the yamen will be handed over to the people below, and the two of them will leave for home.
From this point of view, both of them have been alone in a strange place for almost half a year, and they are particularly eager to go home.
The two of them usually exercise more, not weak scholars who can't lift their hands and shoulders, when the sun comes out and the weather is warmer, the two will come out and ride forward, which will be faster.
Fortunately, there has been no snow in the past few days, and the snow in this era is very thick and thick, and it is impossible to walk at all, and the two of them are still relatively lucky, otherwise they would be stuck on the road.
This trip took more than two days, and I arrived in Yangshan Town, looking at the familiar scenes, looking at the shops that I used to come to often, and looking at the faces on the streets, each one of them was so familiar. A sense of intimacy arises.
Seeing that the door of the house was in front of them, how could the two of them not be excited, and directly abandoned the carriage, letting the subordinates follow behind the carriage, and the two of them rode forward directly.
They took out their fastest speed, and the carriage ran all the way to Lijia Village, and simply said hello to the villagers on the side of the road, and the two drove directly to the door of the house.
"Dad, mother! Grandfather! Grandmother! We're back! The two looked at each other and smiled, calling loudly, and the usual fluttering jade couldn't care about it at all, and then ran quickly to the house, in a very good mood.
I thought that the two brothers would come back in a few days, but who knew that it was so early, so the family was not prepared, but as soon as they heard the voices of the two people, everyone ran out quickly!
"Oh, you've lost weight, grandma misses you, hurry up and tell grandma, how are you over there?" Niu Shi saw that the two eldest grandsons were thinner and darker than when they left, not to mention how distressed they were.
"Grandma, it's okay, look at it, our bodies are strong now, let's go into the house!" Li Yujin felt quite cold at this time, when he was riding a horse, the wind cut his face in bursts, it was really uncomfortable, and it was still warm at home.
The floor heating is burned to the full, and the yard is much warmer than other places.
"Yes, yes, hurry up and get into the house, it's cold when you come back from horseback, it's warm in the house, hurry up!" Niu Shi pulled one in one hand, and the two big boys were by her side, more than a head taller than him, but the scene was so warm, and as soon as she got home, she felt a strong family affection.
"Chunliu, Xia He, hurry up and prepare the ginger soup, and then let the kitchen make some hot meals, hurry up and bring it over!" Hu Shi hurriedly ordered Chunliu and Xia He, and then followed into the house.
The return of the two brothers is the biggest thing for the Li family, Niu Shizai has to ask everything carefully, Li Yujin and Li Yuqian patiently replied, although Li Qingshan went at that time, but when he came back, he would always say that the feelings of the two brothers were different.
It wasn't until the two brothers repeatedly assured that there was really nothing wrong, and it was fine now, that the Niu family was relieved, Li Qingshan looked at the two grandsons who had grown into big men on the side, touched their beards and nodded with satisfaction, the two grandsons have grown up.
"Old man, old lady, the meal is here!" At this time, Chunliu Xia He came in with a steaming meal.
Niu patted his thigh: "Look at it, I'm so happy that you guys are back, I forgot to let you eat something first, you two eat quickly, grandma doesn't ask!" ”
"It's alright, Grandma!" Instead of feeling impatient, the two brothers were happy.
After washing my hands and starting to eat, the food at home, the smell of home, and the lovely family, there is nothing more satisfying than this.
Li Yujin and Li Yuqian are just two people, how can they have so many mouths to answer the questions of so many people in the family, and finally Li Qingshan spoke: "Okay, you women just have a lot of questions, the children just came back, tired, it's still a long time, ask slowly, I want them to sleep and rest!" ”
The two of them were let go, no way, the feelings of the family are too good, after the grandparents asked, there were still fathers and mothers, and then uncles and aunts, and even the aunts who got married came back, in the face of so many people's care and bombardment at the same time, the two were really tired, but they were tired and happy.
When I woke up, I had a lot of energy, so I had time to slowly answer my family's questions, satisfy everyone's curiosity, and then learn about the situation at home.
The happiest thing is that there is a little sister added to the family, the two have already seen it, the little girl for more than a month, a small group, opened her hazy eyes and looked at them, and felt a lot.
And the most surprising news for them is that after the New Year, they are going to move to the capital, this news was not mentioned to the two in the letter, anyway, it is almost the New Year, and the two should come back, so they will wait for them to come back.
However, the two of them were smart and didn't ask anything, not to mention, when they learned that Li Anxi persuaded Li Qingshan for a long time to agree, and Dongfang Ye was also present, the reason for moving had to make people think deeply.
Dongfang Ye's identity is known to the two brothers, and they also know the matter between Li Hui, and the reason for this, I have to say, must be related to the relationship between these two.
After that, the two brothers looked at each other and looked back.
Li Hui saw the eyes of the two brothers looking at her, and couldn't help but feel blushing, how could it be exactly the same as Li Anxi at that time, okay, she admitted, and several young people in the family knew about the Dongfang Night, but should they be so obvious and shy?
The focus of life slowly shifted from Li Yujin and Li Yuqian, and the two were finally no longer the objects of their family's inquiries, so they had their own space.
Of course, the reason for moving still has to be clarified, and this matter could not be clearer than Li Anxi: "Uncle, don't tell us that you don't know the reason?" ”
Li Anxi was helpless, why did these two people look at themselves as enemies, so polite: "I know, it was Dongfang Ye who brought it up, so you know the reason!" ”
"But there's no need to be in such a hurry, is Hui'er still young?" The two were very unconvinced, their baby sister was snatched away by others like this, even if it was the big brother they liked!
"Look at you two, aren't I also for Hui'er's sake? Don't you two understand? Dongfang Ye is a dedicated person, it is rare to be sincere to Hui'er, Hui'er will be fifteen years old after the New Year, Dongfang Ye has been waiting for so many years, obviously can't wait! ”
"Then don't be in a hurry to go to the capital so soon, when the two of us brothers become officials well, we will always be promoted, and we will go to the capital when the time comes!" The two are young and unconvinced.
"When will it be, although our family has some money, can Hui'er afford to wait? didn't delay her happiness," Li Anxi carefully analyzed the pros and cons.
The two brothers were silent, in fact, they either didn't understand the reason, or they couldn't accept it for a while, and the younger sister who grew up with them saw that it would be someone else's in a short time, so how uncomfortable they thought.
"Uncle, we understand, it's just not easy to accept!"
"I know, don't worry, although I agreed, it doesn't mean that we just let him abduct Hui'er so simply, you know?" Who is Anxi Lee? It's not that I don't dare to embarrass the Oriental Night.
The uncles and nephews had a heart and thought of a piece, but the two Li Yujin brothers were still a little depressed.
Walking out the door, I saw a few younger brothers and sisters playing in the yard, and then looked at Li Hui, who had grown into a big girl, the two brothers were quickly infected by their happiness and left those troubles behind!
They changed out of their robes, put on their convenient tops and pants at home, squatted down to play with Baby Beibei's children, and giggles echoed in every corner of the Li family.
Until the children were tired, they were all carried back to the house to sleep, and only a few of them were left, which was the time for the brothers and sisters to communicate well.
"In the blink of an eye, we have all grown up, and we are really reluctant!" The two brothers looked at their sister who was like a flower and jade, and they were full of emotion (to be continued. )
