Zhu Xing has been learning the craft from the village carpenter since he was ten years old, and he has been a teacher for more than ten years, and his skills are becoming more and more proficient. Originally, he wanted to pass on this craft to his son, but his son wanted to take the road of studying, so he had to give up, and when Zijuan was older, he planned to accept two apprentices.

Although the pattern drawn by Yunzhu is a little difficult to understand, Zhu Xing is an expert after all, and after pondering it, he gradually has a prototype. He had to work as a helper in the furniture store during the day, and he could earn a few dollars to support his family, so he had to come to work every night.

Because Yunzhu did not rush the construction period, he did it very slowly, and when he finally delivered the car, it was already a month and a half later.

Yunzhu pushed the cart around the yard, looked up and down again, and nodded: "It's not bad, it's just a little heavy." Tsai carefully touched each piece of wood, Zhu Xing polished it very smoothly, there were no burrs at all, after all, it was a baby thing, so you should pay more attention.

"So Sister Azhu is satisfied."

"Satisfied, of course satisfied. Sister Luo, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my promise. I've also helped you figure out what to sell, strollers like this should be very popular in the future. What other toys can Brother Zhu make to sell, the style is exquisite and safe, and he will definitely not worry about the buyer. ”

"Eh, you've even thought about this for us?"

"yes, let's stand firm first."

According to the previous agreement, Yunzhu gave Luo two silver tickets of fifty taels.

Roche was very grateful, and said: "Our old Zhu doesn't know about this yet, and I have been telling him to do it well." He hadn't told his sister about borrowing money. Now he can always do what he likes. ”

"Well, that's all I can take out now, you can take it for circulation first. If you are still short of money. I'll help you think of it. ”

Roche thanked him repeatedly.

Zhu Xing was very grateful to Yunzhu for his help at his most critical time, and he promised Yunzhu that he would definitely repay the money as soon as possible.

Tiger Head also followed his father to Tonghua Lane. He finally met the man he had been thinking about day and night.

Tian Tian was dressed in white clothes and white skirts, standing under the plane tree, the sunlight sifting down through the gaps in the leaves, leaving a mottled shadow on her. made the tiger head a little confused for a while, as if he had returned to the scene when the two had just met when they were children.

Tiger Head Okita smiled brightly. Tian Tian replied shyly.

The tiger head stepped forward and Tian Tian said, "Thanks to your mother, my father can cheer up again." ”

Tian Tian said: "My mother should also find something to do, and she can't put all her thoughts on thinking about Uncle Xiang." ”

"Uncle Feng really doesn't have any news at all?"

"Nope. Mother, she hasn't received a letter from her uncle for a long time, and there is no news from the General's Mansion. ”

Seeing that Tian Tian was a little depressed, the tiger head comforted her: "Uncle will definitely come back safely." Uncle, he really has a good name. All will definitely be back. ”

"Thank you!" Tian Tian raised his head, a playmate who was about the same size as her before. Now she's a head taller than her. He was thin and small at the time, but now his shoulders seem to have broadened, and he has grown into a man.

The tiger head was looked at by Tian Tian like this, and his heart became more and more nervous, and he even lowered his head shyly. At this moment, he could clearly hear the sound of his heart beating.

"Tian Tian, I always think of the days when I played with you, you were timid and small, but you still stayed by my side. Hold on tightly to my clothes. Now that I think about it, I took you to do a lot of bad things, what went up to the mountains to pick wild fruits. It's very dangerous to go down to the river to catch fish and catch loaches. No wonder my mother reprimanded me at that time, saying that I took you into the wild. But what a happy time you had, what about you? Do you remember those old days? ”

Tian Tian remembered that in the short period of less than two months she lived next door to the Zhu family, it was almost the most embarrassing time for her and her mother, but at that time she was the happiest, and her mother did not restrain her, let the tiger head take her out to play and laugh freely, she wanted to go back to that time.

"Well, thank you for leaving me so many good memories."

"If you had appeared in front of me in such neat and beautiful clothes like you are now, I would not have dared to take you crazy."

They both laughed.

"I'm studying very hard now, thinking that one day I can get ahead, but when that day really comes, can I ask my mother to ask a matchmaker to propose to your mother?" When Tiger Head said this, he felt that his face was about to burn, but when he mustered up the courage to speak, his eyes looked at Tian Tian's eyes and said it.

Tian Tian was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to respond, until his face was also hot as if his face was feverish. She looked at the mottled shadows on the ground, and said for a long time, "I'll wait for you!" ”

This sentence was enough, and Tiger Head felt that he was about to jump up with joy. He went to his father with joy.

"Dad, haven't you talked about it yet?"

"What, you're in a hurry to go back?"

"I want to go back and face the government exam well, I want to study hard."

Zhu Xing didn't know what the little girl standing under the tree outside said to her son, but when he saw that his son was suddenly energetic and moving forward, he knew that it must be a good thing, so he got up and said goodbye to Yunzhu: "Thank you sister-in-law for your help, I will report to you again when everything is settled." ”

Yunzhu nodded and smiled, it was inconvenient for her to hold the child, so she asked Ah Hong to send off their father and son.

"What about you, have you found the direction for others, have you found the direction yourself?"

Old Lady Feng suddenly asked such a question, which made Yun Zhu a little surprised, and then smiled gently: "I have to wait until Xiaoxi is older to decide, isn't the house rented to others, and I can't get it back for the time being." I'll have to plan it out, too. ”

Feng Lao Niang said: "That's right." You have Konishi, don't be depressed. ”

"No, I ...... I also said that I, mother, mother should cheer up more, at least let Ping An come back and see that everything is doing well outside, right? ”

Old Lady Feng muttered, "Will he come back?" ”

"Yes, definitely!" Yunzhu is extremely determined.

Zhu Xing has always wanted to go it alone. But there is no capital. Now that he has this extra amount of money in his hand, he can plan it well. First of all, I plan to rent a new place to live, and at least have a larger yard to stack wood. Fortunately, the rent for the current residence has not been paid, and it can be negotiated again.

I finally got a place to live, although it cost a lot of money, but there is still some leftover, plus the previous savings, it should be no problem to rent a simple shop. Song suggested that he make something like babies and children first, and he thought it was a good breakthrough.

A few twists and turns. Zhu Xing's shop finally opened, but at the beginning, there were not many things on display, and business was cold. However, he was grateful for Yunzhu's kindness. I used a lot of leftovers to make a bunch of toys for Xiaoxi.

There is a bird that can flap its wings when it pulls the mechanism, and a chicken that can lay eggs, all kinds of strange, thanks to Zhu Xing's imagination.

"Maybe the Zhu family can really make a name for themselves."

Another half a month passed. Liu Meng came to the house to report the good news.

"Mother. Sister-in-law. Meizi gave birth to a pair of lovely sons. ”

When Mrs. Feng heard this, her tears were about to flow down with excitement, and she pulled her son-in-law and asked, "She must have suffered a lot." ”

"Yes, Dr. Yuan said that fortunately, there was no danger, and we were all shocked by the fact that it was nearly a month in advance. The elder brother is four pounds and seven, and the younger brother is only three pounds and nine taels. It's just too skinny. Dr. Yuan said that he would have to take good care of it in the future. Don't take it lightly. ”

Mrs. Feng really wanted to meet her daughter at the moment.

Yunzhu naturally understood her mother-in-law's thoughts and said, "Mother, let's go back to Huaishu Village together." ”

"You're with me, too?"

"yes. Let's bring Konishi with us, but what about Tada? ”

Tian Tian hurriedly said, "I'm going too, don't leave me." ”

"Then that's it, Ah Hong, can you help us find the car?"

Ah Hong said: "It's very simple to take care of. ”

Yunzhu cleaned up Xiaoxi's things with the nurse, and her milk was enough for Xiaoxi to eat, but one more person to help take care of her could save a lot of heart. After all, her mother-in-law is old, and her body will have problems from time to time, and Ah Hong is still an unmarried girl, so she doesn't understand some things so well.

Early the next morning, the Feng family got into the car and prepared to go back to Qingtang.

Liu Meng said: "My mother and sister-in-law live in our house. ”

Feng Lao Niang said: "What about our house before? ”

"It's still there, but no one lives there, it's always empty."

"Then let's pack up and get there. Our carload of people is also causing trouble for your family. Meizi has just raised a child and needs to recuperate in peace. ”

Liu Meng agreed for the time being.

Xiaoxi fell asleep as soon as he got in the car, and at the moment the nurse was holding him in his arms. Yunzhu took it and said, "The nurse should also rest for a while, and I will hold him for a while." ”

It takes half a day to take a carriage from the city to Qingtang, and half a day passes quickly, but it is somewhat inconvenient to take a child. Fortunately, I finally returned to Huaishu Village in the afternoon. Yunzhu looked through the screen window, and when the car passed by the big locust tree, she still saw several women sitting on the stones grinding their teeth, and when she saw their car, she pointed and didn't know what to say.

These women are all people that Yun Zhu once knew well, including the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qiao family, Chen Panya's daughter-in-law, and Peach Blossom and her mother, the two of them talked and laughed, and it seemed that the previous disputes had been cleared up.

The car did not go to the house where they used to live, but drove smoothly to the bridge and headed for Liu's house.

As soon as he got out of the car, Yunzhu heard the cry of a child in the house, and it was one after the other, as if he was crying in a race. To be honest, if she suddenly gave birth to two, she would definitely not know what to do, and she would not be able to cope with it.

Liu Wang's family had already come out when he heard the movement.

Xiangmei added two sons to their Liu family at once, she liked it very much, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still a little contradictory before, but now Liu Wang's family has completely changed, no matter what Xiangmei does, she will follow her. almost loves Xiangmei as a daughter.

"Mother-in-law, you've finally arrived, please come inside." When Liu Wangshi saw Yunzhu standing behind with the child in his arms, he also hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Ping'an's daughter-in-law is also back." ”

She glanced at Xiaoxi in Yunzhu's arms and said with a smile: "This child is really cute." ”

Twitter entered the house. Xiaoxi was probably hungry, and Yunzhu had to go elsewhere to feed.

Mrs. Feng went straight to her daughter's room.

Xiangmei heard the movement outside, and knew that it was her mother who was coming, so she didn't lie down, and sat up straight.

Mrs. Feng walked in and said busily: "Oh, what are you doing sitting, be careful not to get through the wind, why don't you wrap a scarf, you will have a head wind when you are old." ”

"There's no wind in this house, don't worry."

Seeing that her daughter's face was still so round and her complexion looked good, Mrs. Feng was relieved. She went to look at her grandson again, smiled and nodded, "It's finally smooth." I used to hear that you were pregnant with twins, but I was very scared, and I was worried about you all the time. ”

Xiangmei said: "Fortunately, there is Doctor Yuan, otherwise I am afraid that our mother and son will be in difficulty." ”

"Doctor Yuan, he's really a skilled doctor." Mrs. Feng hugged her two grandsons separately for a while, and Xiangmei smiled and told her mother which was the elder brother and which was the younger brother.

Yunzhu milk Xiaoxi, and then also came in to see Xiangmei.

Xiangmei hasn't seen Yunzhu for a long time, and she misses it very much.

"I really didn't expect my sister-in-law to come."

"I want to come back to see you. You suffered. ”

Xiangmei smiled and said, "Fortunately, they all survived." ”

"How are you and how are you recovering?" This is the question that Feng Lao Niang is most concerned about.

Xiangmei said: "I still don't have much strength, but I honestly lie on the bed, my body is sore and painful." ”

"What about the milk?"

Xiangmei lowered her head a little shyly and said, "I don't have milk yet." Dr. Yuan said that the medicine for prescribing milk to me didn't seem to have any effect. ”

"It just so happens that the nurse is coming, so why don't you let her help feed her." I can take care of our Xiaoxi. ”

"Really? Thank you so much. Otherwise, when the children cry, we can only feed them rice soup, and we really don't know what to do. The father-in-law even said that he would bring two dairy sheep back to feed. ”

I went back to the small mountain village where I used to live. Yunzhu sat on the bank of the Qing River, looking at the sparkling water in a daze, thinking that she thought that she would never be able to leave this village in her life. Now after I really go out, I often miss this place. There were many disturbances, good and bad, whether it was joy or sorrow, she did not forget.

"Is Konishi asleep?" Yunzhu saw the reflection of her mother-in-law in the water.

Feng Lao Niang said: "I'm already asleep." He's looking for someone to clean the house, and we might be able to move back in tomorrow. ”

"Okay."

Yunzhu looked back and smiled.

She looked at the small village surrounded by mountains, even though it was October, everything was about to wither, and the weather was getting colder and colder day by day. When it comes to scenery, the scenery at this time of year is really not much to see, but she loves Locust Tree Village, and she will miss it no matter where she is in the future.
