Chapter 158: Coming Home
Back in southern Xinjiang, spring is already in full bloom.
The people of the General's Mansion had received the news before, and let people wait on the shore early. Xiao Yu glanced at it and didn't see Xiao Pei and Xiao Yucheng.
Several people got into the carriage.
The sky was a little overcast, and as soon as I entered the city, there was a slight drizzle in the sky.
The green hills on both sides of the Peach Blossom River that flow through the county town are stacked, the green willows contain smoke, the peach blossoms are in full bloom like the glow, the spring breeze blows, the red petals are scattered and scattered, and the slender petals fall all over the river.
The sweet aroma is intoxicating.
It is the season of spring, the upstream people on the shore are like weaving, the boats on the river come and go, and the peach blossoms of ten miles are reflected in the water, like a beautiful picture scroll.
With such a beautiful scenery, Xiao Yu only glanced at it a few times before retracting his gaze, turned to Ling Yan next to him and said, "I don't know how Sister Ah and Yucheng are doing these days, although I have received two letters and said that they are good, but why do I always feel unsteady?" ”
Ling Yan smiled: "Because you remember the two of them too much." ”
Xiao Yu nodded: "Perhaps, this is the cowardice of homesickness." ”
Then the two of them still lifted the curtain a little, looked at the window with a particularly familiar scene, and their mood involuntarily became happy.
It's good to be back.
It was already afternoon, Xiao Yu didn't enter the General's Mansion, and went straight to the carriage and couldn't wait to rush to Niujiao Village.
Wild peach trees and unknown shrubs bloom on the side of the mountain, and the countryside is a deep shade of green, full of spring.
After being away for a few months, the grass and trees are the same, but Xiao Yu feels that the usually inconspicuous scenery has become pleasing to the eye. When Ling Yi and Hua Yue entered the city, they quickly sent a letter over, and Xiao Pei and Xiao Yucheng should have known the news of her return.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu was even more at home.
Before he arrived at Niujiao Village, he saw two familiar figures looking at the intersection with umbrellas from a distance, Xiao Yu's eyes were hot, and he felt that his eyes were covered with a thin mist.
Xiao Yucheng and Xiao Pei should have also seen the carriage and involuntarily took a few steps forward.
The carriage that was originally galloping quickly stopped slowly on the side of the road, and before it could completely stop, Xiao Yu got out of the carriage and smiled at the two people waiting there.
Just about to jump down, Xiao Yucheng had already taken three steps and two steps to meet him, and stretched out his hand. Xiao Yu jumped off with his hand and said with a smile: "I'm back, Sister A, Yucheng." ”
Xiao Pei stretched out his hand to shake Xiao Yu, his eyes were a little red: "Okay, it's good to be back." ”
Xiao Yu smiled, suddenly reached out and hugged Xiao Pei tightly and said, "Sister, you want to kill me!" I'm going to eat what you cooked! ”
This embrace is so warm and fragrant, Xiao Yu is reluctant to let go for a while.
Xiao Yucheng felt a little hot.
Xiao Pei, who was hugged, didn't expect Xiao Yu to be so coquettish, and was stunned for a while, before saying softly: "Okay, Sister will get you whatever you want to eat." ”
Xiao Yu let go of his hand with a smile and said, "Sister is so good!" ”
Xiao Yucheng, who was ignored next to him, coughed lightly: "Although this rain is small, it will get cold after a long time, so it's better to go home first and talk about it in detail." ”
Xiao Pei looked up and saw that although there were umbrellas in Banxia and Lichun, there was still a lot of rain falling on his clothes, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yucheng is right, go home first." ”
At that moment, Lichun and Banxia helped the two of them into the carriage, Xiao Yucheng and the coachman in front of them squeezed together, and the carriage slowly headed towards Niujiao Village.
In the car, Xiao Pei and Xiao Yu talked about their parting feelings.
Xiao Yucheng pricked up his ears and listened.
Xiao Yu spoke first: "Sister, in the past few months since I was away, has there been anything at home?" You don't look good? ”
Xiao Peiying smiled: "My family has always been fine, maybe because I suffered a little cold last night." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately took Xiao Pei's hand, and it was a little cold: "Even so, how can you come out from afar, if Sister Ah is uncomfortable, but it is not mine." ”
After speaking, he asked Banxia to hand over the hand stove.
Xiao Pei shook his head and smiled: "Seeing Ah Yu come back, everything is fine, how can it be uncomfortable?" I see that you have become a lot more rounded these days, and you have grown taller. ”
Xiao Yu immediately turned his head and asked, "Really?" ”
Xiao Pei looked at Xiao Yu carefully again, nodded affirmatively, and said, "Really, I've grown into a big girl!" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but think of the matter of the decay water, and Banxia next to her had a good relationship with her, pursed her lips and laughed softly: "No, the second girl has already come to Xiaotian before she comes back." ”
Xiao Yu suddenly became embarrassed.
Xiao Pei was very happy, took Xiao Yu's hand and said, "This is a happy event, Ah Yu has also grown up." ”
Although his voice was deliberately lowered, Xiao Yucheng outside had practiced martial arts, and his five senses were much sharper than ordinary people, and his face was slightly red at the moment.
Although he didn't know what the little day meant, Xiao Yucheng also guessed that this should be a girl's private talk from the tone and voice of several people, and this growing up made him think of marriage.
After saying these few words, the two of them changed the topic.
Xiao Yu first briefly talked about what she saw and heard in Changzhou, and then asked Xiao Pei about the family.
Xiao Pei thought about it for a while, and told Xiao Yu in detail about the trivial things at home during this time, such as the rabbits and chickens at home growing quickly, eating a lot of vegetable leaves, fish and shrimp every day, and laying a few eggs, how many lotus roots have grown in the lotus pond this autumn, how excited Xiao Yucheng was when he harvested corn, and how Xuetuan guarded the fields with Hao Jun and Xiao Yucheng on weekdays......
The carriage soon stopped in front of Xiao's house.
As soon as Xiao Yu got out of the car, a ball of snow white whined and pounced, leaving two mud marks on her stone blue skirt.
Xiao Pei immediately reprimanded Xue Tuan.
Xue Tuan shook his head and tailed around his feet, cheerful and intimate, so that Xiao Yu couldn't help but want to pick it up, but it had grown into a big dog, and she couldn't hold it.
After asking Lichun to reward the coachman, Xiao Pei took Xiao Yu's hand and walked home.
After leaving for a few months, Xiao Yu looked at it as if he didn't know this house, and he had to study the posture of studying where there was more grass.
Xiao Pei looked at the hour, asked Xiao Yu to sit down and rest first, changed his clothes and came out, and asked with a smile: "What does Ah Yu want to eat?" ”
Xiao Yu remembered the seafood she brought back, and asked a few people in Banxia to bring ice to collect it, but the names of the dishes reported in her mouth were all special dishes that Xiao Pei often made here, including sour bamboo shoot fish.
If you have been away from home for too long, you can't help but miss the taste of home.
Because he had heard the news that Xiao Yu was going home today, Xiao Pei had already asked his subordinates to buy a lot of ingredients and come back, and when he heard that there was nothing missing, he immediately went to the kitchen.
Xiao Yu sat for a moment and walked around the house.
Half an hour later, it was still quite early, but Xiao Pei had already prepared the meal, and specially selected a jar of fine wine from the cellar to wash the dust and catch the wind for Xiao Yu.
I haven't enjoyed these delicacies for a long time, Xiao Yu's index finger moved, and she ate with relish.
Xiao Pei was in a good mood when he saw this.
After dinner, Xiao Yu wiped the oil stains from his mouth with a handkerchief, and said slowly: "I heard that the lord of Shuhui came to provoke?" (To be continued.) )
