The wind and snow are still falling, and the sunset crows are crying.

At this moment, the sun was already setting in the west, and Zhu's father also drove the last ox cart back to his home, eating the fragrant dinner made by Chen.

Soon after, a young man appeared on the road from Gushan Town to Xiahe Village, the young man carried a big bag on his back, regardless of the falling snow, and walked on the road and sang happily.

"Listen to your mother, don't let her get hurt, you want to grow up quickly to protect her, beautiful white hair and happiness always sprout, and the angel's magic is warm and kind"

Zhu Ping'an walked quickly, and he couldn't wait to see his mother Chen's surprised expression when she saw her.

Crunch, squeak

The creaking sound of stepping on the snow was non-stop all the way.

"It's Zhu Gongzi ahead?"

When Zhu Ping'an was walking on the snow and singing, there was an inquiry from behind him, Zhu Ping'an turned around and saw a carriage coming from behind, and soon stopped steadily not far from his side.

The driver who drove the car was a little familiar, a person who looked like an uncle, and seemed to have seen it at the house of the rich man Li.

"It's really Zhu Gongzi, it's really a coincidence. I was procured in the back kitchen of the Li family, Zhu Gongzi saw Gongzi when he borrowed books, and went to the town to purchase it on the order of Miss in the afternoon, delaying the time, I didn't expect to meet Zhu Gongzi, Zhu Gongzi just returned, I was really lucky, the first to see Zhu Gongzi. Congratulations to Zhu Gongzi for raising people in high school, you can win glory for our town. This uncle is still a chatter, and he said a lot of things, and finally he was very enthusiastic to take Zhu Ping'an for a ride.

You can ride in a car without getting snowy. Zhu Ping'an naturally thanked him, and then got into the carriage.

There were a lot of vegetables and meat purchased by the uncle in the carriage, but the car was enough for Zhu Ping'an to sit down, and the salute could be put down just right.

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll only need it tomorrow. It doesn't take a lot of effort. Besides, help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west. Besides, Zhu Gongzi is a master, so I am considered to be naked. ”

When he arrived in Shanghe Village, Uncle Cheman insisted on sending Zhu Ping'an to Xiahe Village, very enthusiastic.

Zhu Ping'an's house is brightly lit at the moment, and two new red lanterns are hung at the door. In the snow, these two red lanterns looked very warm, they should have been hung recently, and they had not been hung when they left home.

"Mother, it's good to hang the lantern. Let's light two candles a day. ”

At the dinner table, Zhu Pingchuan thought about lighting two candles every day, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Mother Chen was not happy when she heard this, "What do you know, if Yan'er comes back at night, she can also see our door, and save going to the wrong door." ”

"How could Brother Biao come back at night. Not all of them are coming back while they are tomorrow; Besides, Brother Yan is not a child, why would he go to the wrong door. ”

Zhu Pingchuan retorted in a low voice, but was glared at by Chen hard. Then he turned off the fire and didn't dare to squeak.

"Is there any movement outside?" While eating, Chen suddenly put down his chopsticks and raised his ears and asked.

"Mother, I heard it wrong again, I went out to see it just now." Zhu Pingchuan whispered.

Before her mother Chen could speak, Zhu's father, who was eating quietly, suddenly put down his chopsticks. He glanced up and said. "There's movement, it seems that a carriage has heard our door."

Zhu's father has been in a hurry. It is more sensitive to the sound of the cart, and the ox cart and horse-drawn cart can be heard at once.

Hearing this, Chen put down his chopsticks and got up and walked out, these days Chen always felt that Zhu Ping'an was coming back, and now he heard Zhu's father say that a carriage stopped at the door, Chen immediately couldn't wait to go out to see if Zhu Ping'an was back, and would rather run wrong a few more times than let go of the possibility once.

Outside the door, Zhu Ping'an took his bags off the carriage and thanked the coachman of the Li family. I was able to come to my doorstep at nightfall, thanks to the enthusiasm of the driver.

Just as Zhu Ping'an was expressing his gratitude, the door of Zhu's house was pushed open, and his mother Chen walked out of the door, just recognizing Zhu Ping'an who was standing at the door and pouting his ass and thanking him.

"Biao'er"

Mother Chen covered her mouth in surprise, and the voice of surprise still came out.

"Hehe, mother, I'm back." Zhu Ping'an immediately heard Chen's surprised voice, and after thanking him, he turned around and scratched his head to look at Chen with a smile.

I wanted to give my mother a surprise suddenly, but I didn't expect my mother to go out so soon. However, looking at his mother Chen's surprised appearance, Zhu Ping'an felt that he came overnight.

"Why are you stupid boy hurrying at night, how unsafe it is, how good it would be to come tomorrow while it's tomorrow." After Chen's surprise, he pretended to be angry and criticized Zhu Ping'an that he shouldn't have traveled overnight.

Zhu Ping'an smiled innocently, which made Chen can't help but nod on Zhu Ping'an's forehead in annoyance.

"Who is this?"

Chen realized that he noticed the coachman standing on the side, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Mrs. Hui, I was procured by the back kitchen of the Li family in Shanghe Village, and this afternoon I was ordered by our young lady to go to the town to purchase, and I delayed time in the town, no, I happened to meet Zhu Gongzi when I came back. Zhu Gongzi has made a name for us in town, and he is the youngest master in the history of our county. "The coachman talks a lot, and although he speaks upside down, the general meaning is clearly expressed.

The Li family in Shanghe Village, these words immediately attracted Chen's attention, and then heard the coachman say that he went to purchase in the afternoon on the order of Miss Li, and by chance, he took Zhu Ping'an, who rushed home, on the way.

So, Chen couldn't help but think of Li Shu again, and felt that this was fate, Zhu Ping'an, who might have to brave the wind and snow to rush until the middle of the night, came back in the dark, which has a lot to do with Li Shu, and the unintentional move saved Zhu Ping'an from braving the wind and snow to trek is really a prosperous man

"Go home, warm up after drinking hot soup." Chen warmly invited the coachman to his home.

"That's it, Brother Wang, you're welcome." Zhu Ping'an also sent an invitation to the coachman.

"No, Madame, Zhu Gongzi, I still have to go back to pay errands." The coachman shook his head and politely rejected the kindness of Chen and Zhu Ping'an, and insisted on rushing back to Li's house.

"The family is ready, it's not too late to leave after drinking the soup, my family is thanks to you, otherwise I will have to suffer on the way." Chan invited again.

"No, madam, my young lady has set the rules, and I have to go back. Being able to carry Zhu Gongzi is also a blessing for our family. Madam, Zhu Gongzi, I'll go back. ”

The coachman shook his head, got into the carriage, and took his leave.

Looking at the departing carriage, Chen was even more satisfied with the young lady Li Shu who left home, and heard the coachman mean that Li Shu has already begun to take charge of the house, beautiful, filial and good at running the house, this is simply a daughter-in-law who fell from the sky.

An idea has become a towering tree in Chen's mind.

Zhu's father and Zhu Pingchuan also came out of the house at this time, and when they saw that Chen came out and didn't go back, and heard the sound of talking outside, they hurriedly came out to find out.

Then I saw Zhu Ping'an.

"I'm back." Father Zhu's voice was very calm, but his movements were very quick and he reached out and took the bag that Zhu Ping'an was carrying, which made Chen very satisfied.

"Brother Biao, you're back." Zhu Pingchuan's business is much happier.

At this time, Chen glanced at Zhu Pingchuan lightly, "Hmph, who just said that it is impossible for Yu'er to come back at night, and you still think that I will pay for wax?" ”

"Mother." Zhu Pingchuan stretched out his voice.

"Dad, big brother, I'm back." Zhu Ping'an responded with a smile. (To be continued)
