Chapter 477, a family reunion

Ming Jing spent a lot of effort, hired many people to look everywhere, and also used some old relationships before Ming Che, and finally stepped on the iron shoes and found nowhere to go, Uncle Xu's son Xu Baogen was actually in Xianyang City, not far from Chang'an. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He runs a snack bar at Xianyang Ferry, where there is a young woman with a big belly and a little girl about two years old, who should be his wife and daughter.

Mingjing hadn't seen the real Xu Baogen, so he only pretended to go into the store and look at it a few times, and he couldn't be sure if it was or not, so he didn't dare to alarm it for the time being, but according to Uncle Xu's description, it was basically certain.

Changsheng was furious when he heard this, Xianyang is very close to Chang'an, and the carriage can go back and forth a day, doesn't he know how to go home to visit his parents for so many years?

Back then, he was poor and into a business, left his parents behind, and ignored his parents and only one son, and he didn't come back for many years, and he didn't even bring back a letter, he didn't know that his parents were thirsty? Isn't he worried that his parents are old and may never see each other again?

Poor Uncle Xu and his wife, worried that their son would not find a home if he came back, he refused to move out for many years, so he stayed in that alley and courtyard, living by selling steamed buns.

Mingjing persuaded them many times to move to Xie Mansion in the capital, set aside an independent courtyard for them to live in, and then assign a few reliable people to serve, this small courtyard is close to the back door and easy to access, so it will not make them feel uncomfortable, but the old couple refused to move out in order to wait for their son.

Fortunately, she finally found it, although she was very angry, she was more happy for Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu, no matter how bad her son was, it was the only expectation of their old couple, and now not only do they have wives and daughters, but they will soon have a family of four, presumably Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu will wake up laughing in their dreams, right?

Yesterday, although Mingjing basically confirmed that he was Xu Baogen, he didn't take the liberty to recognize him, and he felt that Xu Baogen was so close to home but refused to go back, maybe there was some last resort.

Second, I am worried that if I am so alarmed, what will happen if I run away again? Or he doesn't admit that he is Xu Baogen at all, after all, more than ten years have passed, and people's appearance has changed a lot, Mingjing has never seen Xu Baogen before, and he is worried that he will recognize the wrong person.

If he is forcibly arrested, he still has a pregnant wife and daughter at home, and it is not good to be frightened, after all, they are Uncle Xu's relatives.

After thinking about it, he sent someone to keep an eye on Xu Baogen first, and he came back first, because it was late yesterday, and he was worried that the old couple would not sleep well, so he went over early this morning to tell Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu, and then directly dragged them to see the unfilial son in a carriage, even if they were tied up, they had to be tied back.

All the best today. They came in a carriage outside the snack bar, thinking that they would let him go home no matter what, and they had brought an extra carriage with them.

Mingjing was worried that he had no reason to run away, and there was a ferry outside the snack bar, so where could he find it if he jumped into the river?

Let people block the back door first, there are two attendants standing outside the front door, and then let Aunt Xu wait in the car, he and Uncle Xu go in first to see if that person is Xu Baogen.

He repeatedly told Uncle Xu not to get excited when he went in, and to recognize people before talking, but as soon as Uncle Xu entered the store, he was very excited when he saw Xu Baogen, and Xu Baogen was also stunned, and Mingjing confirmed his identity.

was about to ask, but Uncle Xu stepped forward and beat and scolded, crying bitterly, the entourage at the door heard the sound and thought something was wrong, and rushed in in a hurry, the woman was also frightened, and when her man caused some trouble, she also hugged her daughter and cried.

Mingjing hurriedly comforted her not to panic, saying that her father had come to the door, and he didn't go to Uncle Xu, but only asked him to teach his son a good lesson to express his grievances, anyway, he would never be willing to give a heavy hand.

Outside, Aunt Xu also heard the movement and ran in, and after confirming that it was her son, she cried and laughed with joy and sorrow, and pulled Uncle Xu to prevent him from beating, and the chickens and dogs jumped for a long time before calming down.

Xu Baogen knelt in front of his parents and cried and admitted his mistake, Aunt Xu saw the woman and child behind the counter, and was immediately surprised, she had already guessed what was going on, and held the clever and lovely little girl in her arms with heart and soul, and looked at the woman's belly, and there was no resentment.

Mingjing scolded Xu Baogen, who was crying non-stop, and asked people to close the door of the store to prevent customers from coming in, so that he could give his parents an explanation.

Xu Baogen was ashamed to talk about the experience of the past ten years.

When he was young, he disliked his parents' poverty, and despite the fact that he was the only son in the family, he joined a merchant and followed them back to the south.

But he didn't expect his wife to be very willful and rude, she looked down on him at all, disliked him for having no ability, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law also regarded him as a slave.

He had to swallow his breath, but fortunately, a year later, his son was born, and the whole family was very happy, his life was better than before, and the relationship between husband and wife also improved.

Who knew that his son had an accident when he was three years old, drowned in the pond at home, the whole family was grief-stricken, and later became angry with him, thinking that he was not optimistic about his son, he was beaten by his father-in-law, and wrote a letter of marriage to drive him out of the house, and lived on the street with a wound.

Fortunately, his mother-in-law was worried that he would be seriously injured and die of ruining his family's reputation, and his daughter would no longer be able to recruit a husband, so she took a little money and sent him to a neighboring town, so that he could return to his hometown after he recovered from his injury, and the farther away from their home the better, and their family had nothing to do with life and death in the future.

He has been pampered since he was a child, although he was despised in the merchant's house, he didn't do any work, he couldn't pick his hand or lift it when he went out, and he couldn't write or count, and the little money on his body was quickly spent, and he made a living by doing odd jobs everywhere, just to make a living, and he didn't even have the money to go back to his hometown.

He felt that he had fallen to such a point and really had no face to return to his hometown, so he wanted to wait until he was prosperous in the future to go back to see his parents, so as to save some face, so he has been living in a fixed place and living abroad.

After mixing outside for many years, he can only get food and clothing, and it is impossible to be developed, but he is getting older and more homesick and kind, and he is really worried about his elderly parents, so he turns back while doing odd jobs, and he arrives in Xianyang.

Seeing that he was close to the door of his house, he still felt that he had no face to see his parents, so he stopped in Xianyang to do odd jobs everywhere.

Last year, he rescued the Zhao family who was teased by the ruffian on the street, her husband died, there was no in-law to rely on at home, her father also died, and her stepmother did not allow her to enter her mother's door, and she lived a hard life with her daughter alone, but fortunately, her husband still left two old houses, so he did not live on the streets.

After Xu Baogen rescued her, he felt that she was helpless and very pitiful, so he often came to help her do some heavy work, because he missed his son, he regarded Zhao's daughter as his own, and the two gradually developed feelings, and there were gossips outside, Xu Baogen simply asked someone to say that he became a parent.

He thought that he would return to Beijing after all, so he took out all his savings, and persuaded the Zhao family to sell those rooms, and pooled money to open a snack bar at the crowded ferry, and the family of three lived in the back wing room at night.

The snack bar can only feed and clothe their family, and they still can't save a few dollars, Xu Baogen has no hope of making a fortune and still has no face to return to Beijing.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhao was pregnant, and he felt that it was better to wait for Zhao to give birth before going home, although he didn't have any money, he could be regarded as having an explanation to his parents, so it has been delayed until now.

After the old couple cried and scolded, there was only infinite joy left, the son came back safe and sound, not to mention, and then saw the daughter-in-law with a big belly, and the little granddaughter who got it for nothing, it was simply crying with joy, and the Bodhisattva blessed.

Zhao looked at a very sensible woman, and hurriedly greeted him with hot tea, in order to comfort the two old men, saying that Xu Baogen had told her that after he first arrived in Xianyang, he was not worried about his father and mother, and he had no face to go back.

Taking advantage of Uncle Xu's absence, he came to the door of his house and knocked a few times, and heard the voice of his mother coming from inside, he was worried that his mother would be found after confirming that his mother was well, so he quickly ran away secretly.

Aunt Xu remembered that there was indeed such a thing, she was washing clothes in the yard, heard someone knocking on the door, and asked who it was, but no one answered, she wiped her hands and opened the door, but found that the door was empty, and thought that the neighbor's child was naughty, so she didn't take it to heart, but she didn't expect that it was her son who had been thinking about it for a long time.

The more Uncle Xu listened, the more uncomfortable he became, no matter how angry he was, under the auspices of Mingjing, the two sat on it, accepted the great gift of his son's family, and gave a valuable meeting gift to his daughter-in-law and granddaughter who met for the first time, which surprised their family, and Xu Baogen knew that his father and mother had met a nobleman.

The meeting gift was prepared by Changsheng for Mingjing to bring, and she guessed that the woman and child Mingjing said should be Xu Baogen's wife and daughter, so she prepared it in advance for Aunt Xu.

The family told each other about their divorce, and Xu Baogen knew that the handsome and luxurious man in front of him was actually the concubine of Princess Dexiao who was spread everywhere some time ago, and his father and mother had formed an indissoluble bond with Princess Dexiao in recent years.

Hearing that the reason why my father and mother have been safe and sound in the past few years is thanks to the careful care and persuasion of Princess Dexiao and the concubine, I immediately paid a big salute with my wife and daughter, and vowed to serve the princess and the concubine well, and be loyal to them for the rest of my life, and swore that I would live well with my parents and wife and children in the future, and the family would never leave.

Zhao ordered a few dishes outside, plus snacks in his own store, and invited everyone to lunch on a whole table, Xu Baogen said that he would not go home until the store and belongings were all discounted, so he asked his wife and daughter to follow his parents to return to Beijing with a part of the salute, and he came back after dealing with trivial matters.

In this way, Uncle Xu happily took his daughter-in-law and granddaughter home, Mingjing invited them to Xie Mansion, Uncle Xu said that when his daughter-in-law was born, let the neighbors follow together and be happy, the family can still live now, and when the son comes back, the whole family will come to see Changsheng.

Changsheng was sincerely happy for Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu, the two old men helped her wholeheartedly several times when she was in trouble or even desperate, and they formed an indissoluble bond with them, no matter how thoughtful he and Mingjing took care of, no matter how attentive and considerate they were, and no matter how much they sent more property, they couldn't resist the hearts of the two old men who missed their sons.

She plans to send someone to visit He Xi tomorrow, and then bring two midwifery mothers, let them see if Zhao's fetus is stable, confirm the labor date, and then go over to help deliver the baby, and give everyone in the Xu family a generous gift, even the little granddaughter she just recognized is not left behind.

As for how to place Xu Baogen, Changsheng plans to wait until the Xu family's precious grandson is born, his character and ability still need to be observed, and then he will find a suitable errand for him. (To be continued.) )
