Volume 1 Returning to the Hometown after Completion of Service Chapter 22, Selling Leftover Women
After resting at home for two days and getting acquainted with the situation, Changsheng began to visit relatives and friends under the leadership of Zhou Wang, first visiting the elders of the same clan in the village, and then visiting his aunt Zhou Houzhen and some distant relatives, without waiting for her to take a breath, she wanted to go to her uncle's house to live, saying that her grandmother Wang Cui was making trouble at home all day to see her.
Changsheng was willing to go to her uncle's house, because she trusted this uncle the most because she had traveled all the way, but she was so tired that she was very annoyed to meet some strangers every day and listen to them say true or false, flattering or jealous and sarcastic.
She had to deal with these things every day in the palace, and she had to do this when she returned home, Changsheng suddenly understood that this slightly closed village had the same people as the palace, and this home was also different from the home where she only had two sisters in her previous life. Not everyone loves her as much as her mother, and not everyone is as simple and simple as her sister Zhou Yusheng, she can't do what she wants.
However, she was most worried that she didn't know what happened before Changsheng at all, and she was worried that she would show flaws in front of someone with a heart, but fortunately, Zhou Wang's family was a careful person, for fear that when Changsheng left, she would lose her memorals when she was young, so she had to introduce it first when she went to a house, and mention the previous things by the way, so Changsheng skillfully coped with the past and did not show any flaws.
Zhou Wang combed his daughter's hair, happily looked at her face that could not be covered by the jinghai cloth skirt, and looked at Changsheng's unhappy face, and also understood that she had just entered the house after a thousand miles of travel, so that she could visit relatives and friends every day, and it was really difficult for her to be surrounded by a large group of unfamiliar relatives and clansmen.
But what if you don't? Parents who really love their children always have to plan for their children's life, although her longevity is likeable, but her age is really not young, and she can't be left as an old girl. In the past few years, I still have energy, and I am in charge of the family, so it is more convenient to plan for my daughter, and when my daughter-in-law is in charge of the house or goes by herself when she is old, who can think so carefully about her?
"Mother, I'm tired, and besides, I haven't been home for eight years, and I'm so strange to others, I have nothing to say! I know that my uncle is very good to me, it's not that I don't want to go, can I rest for a few days and go again? Changsheng finally protested, although she followed her mother everywhere after returning home, she really couldn't stand it.
Zhou Wang pressed her to sit on the square stool and sighed: "Mother understands your thoughts, but Mother is helpless." You are twenty years old this year, lifelong events can no longer be delayed, my mother still wants to take advantage of her own ability to be the master, and marry you in a beautiful way, Yusheng began to prepare the dowry two years ago, she is good at needlework, all the dowries are prepared according to double portions, although you have not been at home all these years, but the dowry that should be done has not fallen. ”
Changsheng's heart was warm and sour, she shouted "Mother", and buried her head in Zhou Wang's shoulder socket, Zhou Wang's gently hugged her and continued: "Mother took you to go to the family, first, you have not returned home for eight years, you should also meet with the elders, and secondly, it is also to let everyone see how brilliant you are, only the good name can attract the attention of others, the more people who come to propose, the greater the room for us to choose, Mother is afraid that you will be wronged." ”
It turned out to be a **** naked to promote himself. Although Changsheng has not considered marrying for the time being, he was deeply moved when he heard these words, and only a mother can think so thoughtfully about her child.
"Your aunt and mother have many relatives, and many of them are capable, and my mother wants her to meet you and make a name for you, and besides, your grandmother really misses you so much. If you really don't want to go, I'll ask Yusheng to report a message, and you can go again tomorrow, just rest today! ”
Thinking of his uncle's thousands of miles away to pick him up, his sincere care for himself all the way, and his grandmother's love for him, Changsheng thought about it and said: "It's okay, I'll go today, I haven't seen you for many years, I miss my grandmother too!" ”
As he was talking, Wang Chunfa came to pick him up, and came in with a cold breath and said, "Mother is afraid that Changsheng will be tired, so she specially asked me to come and pick you up!" “
If you don't go now, it won't work, so Zhou Wang asked Yusheng to stay and help with housework, and took seven-year-old Shuangfu and four-year-old Shuangxi to ride in the carriage together.
Although there are mountains in this area, fortunately the mountains are not big and the ravines are not deep, a bit like hilly areas, the roads are not difficult to walk, and the people are not sparse, but it is a pity that it is relatively dry and rainless, and you can't find the feeling of beautiful mountains and rivers. After the initial novelty and excitement, Changsheng was a little skeptical, could he really live in this desolate and isolated place for the rest of his life?
Wang Chunfa's love for Changsheng is real, this time he also saw the difference between his hometown located in the cold and remote and the prosperous and rich land near Chang'an, although he didn't say it, he knew very well in his heart that after the freshness of Changsheng, he might not be able to adapt to the hometown where he had lived for twelve years, not to mention that this Changsheng was no longer his immortal.
Along the way, he kept comforting: "Uncle knows that you are used to it in Chang'an, and you may not be able to adapt to life here after returning home, don't worry, you will come to live for a while when you are bored at home in the future." Uncle sports car goes to Yunzhou and Shuozhou once in ten days and half a month, and sometimes goes to Jinyang, if it is convenient, I will take you and your cousin to go shopping. ”
"Got it! Uncle, you still know my heart best! Changsheng responded crisply, and her heart cheered, which was probably the most pleasing thing she heard when she returned home. The most bitter thing in the palace is the word imprisonment, she is fed up, she really wants to play around freely as she likes, although the Tang Dynasty's restrictions on women are much looser, but it is not easy to go out, with her uncle here, she has the opportunity to go out and hang out.
Shuangfu, who was already sensible, had become acquainted with Changsheng in the past few days, and he pulled Changsheng with envy and pleading: "Second aunt, can you take me?" I haven't been this far yet! ”
The four-year-old girl Shuangxi blinked pitifully, and said in a milky voice: "Second aunt, Shuangxi also wants to go, Shuangxi will be very obedient." ”
Changsheng smiled: "Okay, my aunt promised you, if it's convenient, I'll take you with me!" ”
Although it was the first time they met, the population of his uncle's family was limited, and Changsheng still recognized everyone very accurately, the loving grandmother, the shrewd and sophisticated aunt, the cousin who was as beautiful as a mountain flower but not very peaceful, and the cousin and sister-in-law who had their own thoughts, no one would doubt that she was not the little immortal who left home at the age of twelve and entered the palace.
What Changsheng didn't expect was that after the white-haired, furrow-faced grandmother hugged her and cried, her first sentence was: "Good girl, you are back, since you turned fifteen years old, grandma is afraid that you will not be able to marry every day, you just sent a letter saying that you want to come back, I will ask people to go around to show my mother-in-law's house, there are several families that sound good, don't be ashamed, pick one!" Grandma couldn't stop going when she went, and she was relieved to see you get married! ”
