Volume 1 Returning to the Hometown after Service Chapter 10, Uncle Comes to Pick Up
Hearing Changsheng's name, the man's face was full of excitement, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, and he immediately shouted: "It's Changsheng!" It's immortality! That's her, she's my niece! Take me to her! ”
Chang Chang breathed a sigh, his expression and real surprise could never be faked, he was really Zhou Changsheng's uncle. I couldn't stop laughing again, luck is really good, there is always a turnaround at a critical time, I am worried that I have to go on the road alone today, and I don't even know where to hire a reliable carriage, so I met my uncle to pick it up!
Because he was not afraid of admitting his mistake again, Changsheng was about to go downstairs to meet her, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the neatly dressed sister-in-law Feng standing at the door, and said with a smile: "I was about to call you to get up, but I didn't expect you to have already freshened up, what is the noise of that person outside?" What to pick up nieces? ”
Changsheng smiled: "Sister-in-law Feng, you said that I was lucky, it was my uncle who was noisy outside, he came to pick me up, and he lived in this inn, and he was delayed by the wind and cold, and I was worried about how to go back alone!" ”
After speaking, he walked straight downstairs with light steps, the doctor had already left, and the middle-aged man was pulling the little man to shout to see his niece, Changsheng walked over with a smile and shouted crisply: "Uncle!" ”
The man was full of excitement, looked at Changsheng in disbelief, stretched out his hand to touch her head, and retracted it: "Are you really Changsheng?" Have you grown so big? Uncle can't even recognize it! But it's still a bit similar to when I was a child. It's all to blame on my uncle, what kind of cold did I get at this time, I left a few days early and picked you up by mistake, fortunately you are fine, and fortunately I met you here, otherwise how would I explain to your mother when I go back? How did you get here, a girl? ”
A series of inquiries, every sentence is care and love, Changsheng's heart is warm, although the first time they met, and there is no evidence, she still believes that this is Zhou Changsheng's uncle, and that real concern can't be pretended. It's just that this uncle is really strange to her, and she doesn't even know his name.
She stepped forward to help him up, pointed to the Feng couple who were downstairs, and said with a smile: "Uncle, it's me, I'm immortal." I can't wait for you to pick me up at the gate of the palace, I just happened to be on the same road with Brother Feng and sister-in-law Feng, and I am going to break up today, and I am worried about how to return to my hometown alone, but I happened to meet my uncle! ”
Seeing that he looked dizzy and seemed to be unsteady on his feet, he asked worriedly, "Is my uncle's wind chill better?" I'll help you to rest! ”
Although her uncle was happy to find his niece, he still couldn't stand the illness and his physical strength was really exhausted, so he thanked the Feng couple and nodded in agreement.
Changsheng helped him to the residence at the back of the courtyard, but he was a little sad, this was probably the cheapest housing in the inn, shabby and dilapidated, two wooden beds and a small shabby table were placed in a very narrow place, there was almost no place to put his feet, there was a medicine bowl on the table, and there were some residual medicinal juices, and the bedding was old and thin, fortunately it was not too cold.
It seems that there is a lack of entanglement, no wonder the doctor in the eye of the power refuses to take a good look at the doctor. Changsheng was very puzzled, five years ago, she became a second-class palace maid, two taels of silver a month, she could save twenty taels a year to subsidize the family, plus the previous one, she gave the family more than 100 taels of silver.
It is said that it doesn't cost much to enter Beijing, and his uncle won't be poor to live in this kind of room? Could it be that the family refuses to entangle? If that's the case, the uncle came to pick her up, and he really loved this niece very much, but why didn't the family entangle her?
She held her breath a little, helped her uncle lie down and covered the quilt, and said with a smile: "You lie down first, I'll go change your room, and we'll leave when you recover!" ”
Wang Chunfa seemed to see through her thoughts, shook his head and said, "No need to change it, this is much better than the Chase Shop, what to do with that money?" Why did my uncle save some money by living in a low-class room, I was used to being frugal at home, and your father gave me the money when I came. ”
Changsheng felt a little more comfortable, but how could she let her uncle live in the lower room, regardless of his obstruction, she returned to the front desk, and instructed the shopkeeper to clean up the house that the Feng couple had just quit, let the kitchen make a bowl of chicken soup, onion and ginger porridge to cure the cold, and then go to ask a doctor with better medical skills to re-prescribe medicine.
The Feng couple had already sat down in the lobby to prepare for dinner, and Changsheng stepped forward, sincerely toasted a glass of water and wine to say goodbye to each other, left each other's addresses, and agreed that if they had the opportunity to go to the capital in the future, they would definitely go to the shop they opened to catch up.
Then she moved her uncle to the upper room next door to her, and invited another doctor to see a doctor. Maybe it was because the newly hired doctor was in a good medicine, or maybe it was because she was in a good mood to see Changsheng, her uncle was cured the next day and was about to rush back.
Changsheng was surprised to find that he actually drove all the way from Yunzhou to pick her up. What touched her the most was that before leaving, her mother laid a warm and soft dog skin mattress on the car, the small blue quilt covering the legs was neatly folded on it, and a plaid homespun bag contained a brand-new red sandwich cloak, and repeatedly told her to put it on, and a large bag of hand-made snacks, called cat ears, said that she was her favorite food when she was a child, and after tasting it, it was really fragrant and crispy.
Although it was the first time they met, Changsheng quickly developed a sincere affection for this uncle who loved her very much, after all, he was so sincere and came all the way to pick her up when he was not well entangled.
Thinking of the scene when he quarreled with the doctor in the inn for not being able to pick him up in time, Changsheng's heart was warm, and she didn't see her family coming to pick her up at the palace gate, her heart was more or less panicked, it was her uncle who gave her a sense of steadiness, and she was not completely helpless when she left the palace.
Along the way, she thought of a way to talk and asked him to find out that his name was Wang Chunfa, he was a car driver, forty-three years old this year, three years younger than her mother, Prince Wang Chuntao, and was in the prime of life but full of vicissitudes, it seemed that the car career was very hard.
But when she asked her father and brother why he didn't come to pick her up, her uncle squeaked and said that her father was sick, and as for her brother, because her sister-in-law had just given birth to a little nephew and needed to take care of her.
Changsheng's feelings are different, her father Zhou Houchun is sick and can't come, and her brother Zhou Ansheng can't come to pick up because his sister-in-law just gave birth to a little nephew, but he really can't say it. Since she has already given birth and is not the first child, there is still a strong mother and two adult siblings at home, in ancient times, men did not do housework, did Zhou Ansheng a big man stay at home to take care of the mother or wash the baby's diapers?
However, the uncle didn't seem to be willing to mention it, or if there was something to worry about her on the road, let's talk about it when she went back, although Changsheng was a little worried, but he didn't have a deep affection for the Zhou family, so he didn't ask much, he only planned to find a way to ask clearly in front of the house, and he couldn't enter the door in a daze.
All the way back, Wang Chunfa is also familiar with the road conditions and the market town inn, and can see with his own eyes the grand scenery of the place he had only heard of more than a thousand years ago in his previous life, Changsheng is very excited and happy, and there is enough entanglement, and he is grateful to his uncle to pick him up, she is not in a hurry to go back to that strange home, the two of them eat and drink all the way back to catch up.
