At the beginning of January, the third city was recovered, and when the news reached the small town of China, the people of the city were overjoyed. The people of the Zhong Mansion, from the moment they heard the news, all rushed to the old courtyard to report the good news to the old lady. The old man shouted "yes" again and again, and the old man turned his head and locked himself in the room, and said to the worried people outside, "Be quiet." ”

The people of the Zhong family in Brown City all burst into tears after the joy. The fourth lady and the fifth lady looked at each other with tears, and the fourth lady said with tears of joy: "We can go home, we are going home." "There was an atmosphere of joy all over the city, and many families opened their courtyard doors and ran to tell each other that they had regained another city, and were one step closer to victory. The old lady and the family of the fourth old man originally planned to go home as much as possible, but the government posted a notice asking the people in the third city to postpone their return home, so that the people in the third city government would have enough time to clean up the people left in the city again.

In mid-January, the latest news brought back by the Zhong Chiyin brothers was that the Third City had begun to accept people who had arrived in the Fourth City and the Third City first, but the population did not exceed fifty per day. The uncle and the old lady decided to come down, and after the Chinese New Year, the family returned to Brown City. The mood of the fifth master of the Zhong Mansion and his family is the most entangled at this time. is the Zhong Chiyin brothers, who are on a bad job in the government, and their mood fluctuates greatly, and Zhong Chiyin has already explained to his superiors that he will take leave to return home after the year. Zhong Chiyong's wife became even more entangled, it was impossible for her to follow everyone home, so Zhong Chiyong had no choice but to stay.

In mid-January, the New Year was approaching, and Zhong Chichun still did not return with a letter from home. Wen Chunyi was secretly anxious in her heart, and Lady Liu was already so anxious that she jumped up. The two went to inquire about the news with Mrs. Zhixian, but they only knew that the government had not received bad news so far. After Wen Chunyi went home, he could only shake his head lightly in the face of everyone's eyes. Brother Chen hugged her leg and asked, "Mother, when will Daddy come back?" Wen Chunyi bent down to pick him up, and replied to him with a smile as usual: "Soon, when your father is busy with business and has time, he will rush back to see you." ”

Zhong Mingran is already old. He looked up to see his mother's hints. Then he smiled and came over to coax Brother Chen'er and said, "Come, Brother Chen, brother hug." Brother Chen reached out and hugged Wen Chunyi's neck tighter, and whispered, "I want my mother to kiss me." Zhong Mingran turned around and looked at his mother's movements again. He turned his head and said to Brother Chen with a smile, "Brother Chen." You go to read with Brother Ran. All right? When your father comes back in a few days, he knows that you can recognize so many words, and he will definitely praise Brother Chen for being smart and capable. Brother Chen raised his eyes and looked at Wen Chunyi and asked, "Mother." Brother Chen'er knows more words, and Daddy can come back to see Brother Chen earlier, right? ”

Wen Chunyi nodded lightly, Brother Chen happily followed Zhong Mingran away, such as the sister-in-law approached Wen Chunyi's side and comforted: "Eighteen, Brother Chen's father has not come back with a letter, maybe someone is already on the way." Wen Chunyi nodded lightly and said, "Mrs. Zhixian told us that there is no bad news about them in the official mansion, and I think that as long as people are safe, he can come back when he comes." Ru's sister-in-law nodded in agreement and said: "We came out of exile at that time, and we also thought like this, thinking that as long as the family was together, no matter how poor we were, we could live a poor life." ”

Wen Chunyi looked at the five old men and his wife who were talking under the eaves, and she asked in a low voice: "Do the fifth uncle and fifth aunt regret settling in the small town of China?" Ru's sister-in-law shook her head lightly and said, "My father and mother are both open people, and our family was originally just a family in Brown City that didn't worry about food." What's more, our ancestors are not locals, but most of the daughters-in-law we married in are locals. In recent years, the brothers have gone to other places to develop, and the parents have followed together to take care of the nephews at home, and only the uncles are in the city. I want to go back, but I just want to see my uncle and brothers. ”

For example, the words of the sister-in-law reminded Wen Chunyi of Ancheng's mother's family, and she sighed softly and said, "Not long after we arrived in the small town of China, I started a business with dowry silver. My father has been taking care of the people I sent in Anseong ever since. At the end of last year, my father started to help me manage my business in Anseong. There are three brothers and one sister in my family, the elder brother is elegant, the sister-in-law is knowledgeable and interesting, and the eldest nephew is said to be born smart and clever. My sister's family is also living a peaceful and peaceful life, the two younger brothers, the eldest brother has entered the official position through the guò scientific examination last year, and the younger brother is still studying.

When I was pregnant with Brother Chen, my eldest brother was not worried about me, so he deliberately stayed in the small town of Chinan for more than a year. He, a young man who had never been married, took very good care of me that year, and even helped me take care of the affairs of the house. My father helped me so much, I knew that my brothers and sisters were close to me, but my father was the five of us, and he loved me so much, I actually felt very guilty in my heart, and felt that I had made it difficult for my father to be a man. I've been married for a few years, and I've always been tired of my father worrying about me. Wen Chunyi's eyes widened, forcing the tears back, she smiled at her sister-in-law, and said: "With you to accompany us this year, our days can get better and better day by day." ”

For example, the sister-in-law stretched out her hand and patted Wen Chunyi, and said: "If the family doesn't say the words of the two families, if you don't accept a family like us, you won't have to work so hard in the future." We have given you living expenses, and I am also a person who lives, how can I not understand your subsidies everywhere. Your father loves you, and now you are the only one who is further away from him, and he can only take care of you in this way. Your eldest brother was willing to come over to take care of you at that time, and it was also your sister and brother who had a deep affection. Family, count and calculate, always can't figure out the kindness, you remember the love of your mother's family, and tell Brother Chen in your spare time, so that he can also remember the good of his grandfather's family. ”

The days have to go on, when the weather gets colder, Wen Chunyi brought Zhong Chichun's winter clothes to the people in the official mansion, and I don't know if he can receive it, Wen Chunyi still feels that by doing this, she has also done her duty as a wife. After a long time, Wen Chunyi faced Brother Chen'er and remembered Zhong Chichun's time, and it became more and more relaxed. Coupled with the family letter of the third husband and wife of the Zhong family, she sometimes even felt that if they lived as mother and son, and had their mother's family to protect them, their lives would be able to go on. It is no wonder that people often say that time will take away a qiē, and the separation of two places is the biggest killer of emotions in the world at any time.

In recent years, the goods in the old yard wholesale store have almost been sold. Wen Chunyi directly asked everyone to close the door to prepare for the New Year. Zhong Chiru's days in the Zhong Mansion were a little longer, he would take the children to read and write, and he treated his sons and nephews and nieces equally. Le'er and Brother Chen are also happy about this eldest uncle, both of them like to revolve around him, and Zhong Mingran is older, so he won't come to grab favor with his younger siblings. Zhong Chiru took a big red envelope from Wen Chunyi during the holiday, and he insisted that their family should bear the preparation of this New Year's goods.

Wen Chunyi didn't compete with him, but just smiled and said to sister-in-law: "There are uncles and aunts in charge." The eldest brother and sister-in-law call the shots. I'll eat at home in peace. "For example, after the sister-in-law knew that Wen Chunyi had sent Zhong Chiru a big red envelope, she insisted on giving Wen Chunyi the wholesale store to take charge of the account room, and refused to go out to find something else to do, and she didn't mind as much as before. Let's talk about the attitude of Wen Chunyi from beginning to end. It is to treat their husband and wife as brothers and sisters-in-law. I have never been treated as a subordinate. The human heart is made of flesh. For example, the sister-in-law carried someone behind her back and mentioned it to her son Zhong Mingran, and repeatedly asked him to remember the kindness of the eighteenth aunt.

Zhong Mingran looked at his mother and taught him like an ignorant child. repeatedly explained these things to him in private, and he said funny: "Mother, my aunt took our family home to settle down, which is a great kindness." My great-grandfather has already told us that we are members of the Zhong family, and after we have a future, we must not be ungrateful. Mother, you can rest assured, I just don't have any chance, and I will treat Aunt Eighteen and Brother Chen well, and I will treat the two uncles, aunts and younger siblings well. Zhong Mingran already understands very well that even though the family has divided the property, he is the eldest grandson of the fifth room, and he wants to be an upright brother like his father.

Although Zhong Mingran is young, he can already see that his father is a person who can take care of things, and his uncles and aunts in the family also treat him as an eldest brother, and they will come to discuss with his father in case of trouble. They lived in the house of the eighteenth aunt, and after his father had the money, he took the initiative to bear the bulk of the livelihood. His father said to him, "Don't be like your mother and don't understand, if I go out to do things, what I can do is also to help people manage their accounts." And I work with your aunt, I take care of the accounts, and sometimes I can help to watch more business. When your aunt was in charge, although I was the manager of the account, she still gave me the face of being a brother in front of outsiders. ”

Zhong Mingran has always felt that his family has a good character, and she is an upright and generous person who takes refuge in Aunt Xiaocheng in China. According to his mother's usual tone of speech, the people of the Zhong family are people who are upright from the roots, that is, they start by marrying a daughter-in-law, and they are also choosing women from upright families, so that future generations will not be crooked when they go there. Zhong Mingran heard a lot of things about some people's concubines in the school, and there were people who were good friends with him, and they also inquired about the situation with him in private, and he always told the truth, but others suspected that he was sending people under the fence, so he had to slap his face and say something shameless, so as not to be mistaken for an ungrateful person.

After nightfall, the rain drifts and the weather gets even colder. Wen Chunyi took Brother Chen to lie on the bed, and the little person insisted on squeezing into a futon with Wen Chunyi, saying that it was to warm the quilt for his mother, which made Wen Chunyi's heart warm. After the candle in the room went out, the mother and son were still whispering. Brother Chen whispered to Wen Chunyi: "Mother, will my father be as good as my uncle is to my eldest brother?" Wen Chunyi hugged his small soft body, and said with a smile: "Your father will definitely treat you well like your uncle treats your eldest brother." Brother Chen grinned and said, "The three brothers all said this, saying that I was born handsome, and I can recognize such words, and my father will definitely hurt me when he comes back." Mother, but why hasn't Daddy come back yet? ”

Wen Chunyi was speechless, so he could only reach out and pat him lightly, and whispered: "What your father does is different from what your brother's father does, and now he needs to be busy outside." After she said this, she thought about Brother Chen'er's age, and explained to him in another way: "You see that your second brother and third brother still have Le'er's father, and sometimes they don't return home for a few days, right?" Brother Chen snorted unhappily, thought about it and said, "Mother, Daddy hasn't seen Brother Chen for so long, does he still remember Brother Chen?" Wen Chunyi listened to his words, and his heart became sour.

She smiled and kissed her son's face and said, "Then there is a father who doesn't remember his son, if you say this, your father will be sad." The mother and son talked, and gradually settled down. Wen Chunyi still kept Brother Chen's thoughts in mind in the end, she went to find the two staff members and asked them if there was any way to inquire about Zhong Chichun's news. Mr. Chief of Staff said with a calm expression: "Young Grandma, I know that you have this inappropriate mind because the young master misses the young master, but you must not act impulsively." Now that there is no news, it is good news, the young master can come back, with his temperament, he will definitely think of rushing back for the New Year. ”

Mr. Little Staff looked at Wen Chunyi's expression, he thought for a while and whispered, "We came here with the young master just to think that we could do something." The young master has been gone for so long this time, and we have also moved our hearts to find the past, but after thinking about it, we were worried that something was wrong, so we wrote to the old lady for advice. The old lady reprimanded us for being too whimsical, and we couldn't tell the difference between public and private. In this situation, the official news is closed, more things are better than less things, we are waiting for news in the small town of China. The old lady of the Zhong family mentioned in the letter that he would pay his monthly salary, and the two staff members hurriedly went to the letter to explain that Wen Chunyi had never owed them their monthly salary.

In the afternoon of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the rain in the small town of Chinan became heavier and heavier. Mrs. Liu couldn't prepare for the New Year in Liu's house with peace of mind, so she ran to Zhong's house to talk to Wen Chunyi. At such times, the two of them can talk. In the morning, the five old men and their wives went to the old courtyard to talk to the old lady and sent someone to inform them that lunch would be used in the old courtyard. The old lady decided early to eat dinner together in the old courtyard for dinner this day. In the afternoon, Zhong Chiru and his wife went over to help prepare dinner. The three boys in the family also wanted to play with them, so they brought Brother Chen over by the way.

Before Mrs. Liu came, Zhong Chiyin and his wife also rushed to the old courtyard with the joy of noisy brother and brother. Zhong Mansion only has Zhong Chi and Wen Chunyi, plus Leng Ruokuanzi and his wife who came to guard the yard. (To be continued......)
