Li An is a very smart person, and it can even be said that he is a little cunning, in order to be able to meet his wife first after returning to Chang'an City, Li An can be said to have taken great pains to set the time of arriving in Chang'an City at the time of rest at night, so that he can naturally fulfill his wish.

In addition, there is another advantage of going back at night, that is, you can sleep well at home, and after you have enough spirits, you can have a better spirit to meet the emperor early the next morning, report everything you have seen and heard on the way south, and you can also avoid cumbersome politeness.

"Hey, this Chang'an City Railway Station is much bigger than when I left, and a lot of equipment is also new, and it's bright everywhere, it's so good, hahaha!"

As soon as Li An got off the train, he found that the appearance of the station had changed a lot compared to when he left, mainly because the scale was larger, in addition, the lighting at night was much better than before, everywhere was bright, there was no place where people could not be seen, and the security work was also very good, and it was completely possible to prevent saboteurs from entering the station to cause sabotage.

Li Ang was very satisfied with the development of Chang'an City Railway Station, and praised the leaders of the station and asked them to continue to work hard.

"Hurry back and tell your sister the news of your husband's return."

Li Hanlu let the two guards behind him leave, and rode to inform Yan Ruyu in the villa and let them make the most basic preparations.

"We're going home soon, and we still need to be notified in advance for these steps?"

Ang Lee said with a smile.

Li Hanlu said: "This is my sister's explanation, and I must notify in advance, so that the people in the family can be prepared and not too hasty." ”

"Haha! Okay, then let's walk slower and take a look at the surrounding night scene. ”

Li An said happily.

Since the curfew was lifted in Chang'an City, the outside of the city gate has gradually become lively, mainly because the population of Chang'an City is increasing, especially there are too many foreign friends, and the east and west cities have been difficult to accommodate.

In addition, with the existence of some manpower-intensive units such as R&D centers around Beijing, there are also many people who do business, and they stay outside the R&D center to sell things, mainly for food and use.

At the beginning, there were relatively few such people, but slowly there were more, and after the lighting was gradually established, these people would also come to do business at night, and over time, a commercial area similar to a night market was created outside the city, and the business was very good.

After all, compared to the restaurants in the city, the prices outside the city are too cheap, it is simply the gospel of the poor, and with the continuous expansion of the scale, the management is becoming more and more perfect, in short, many places outside Chang'an City, and the difference between the city and the city has become smaller and smaller, whether it is day or night, there are busy people everywhere, sometimes, the people in the city in order to be cheap, will also choose to eat and drink in the simple huts outside the city.

Therefore, in the process of returning to the villa, Ang Lee has a lot of excitement to see, and there will be no only dark roads.

There is no distinction between inside and outside the city, this is the process of urbanization, that is to say, the scale of Chang'an City has been expanding, although, according to the standard of the city wall, Chang'an City has always been such a large piece, but if it is according to the standards of later generations, many areas outside the city are already lively and prosperous enough, and it can also be regarded as a part of the city.

According to the situation of later generations, the existence of the city wall is of little significance, because under the conditions of thermal weapons, the city wall has lost the great significance of defense, and in the case of the attacker's strong artillery fire, the defensive ability of the city wall is simply not worth mentioning.

Moreover, the existence of the city wall will cause great trouble to the city's traffic, which is not conducive to the development of the city's economy, and will seriously limit the scale of the city.

Of course, it was different in the Tang Dynasty, except that the Tang Dynasty mastered some hot weapons with the help of Li An, but foreign enemies and thieves did not have these abilities, so the defensive significance of the city was still very great, and naturally the city wall would not be demolished for the sake of economic development, especially the palace was even more impossible to tear down.

Therefore, although the existence of the city wall has had a bad impact on the development of Chang'an City, Li An will not propose to tear down the city wall, and even if he does, he will not be agreed.

"It's only been a little over a year, and the nightlife of Chang'an City has developed outside the city, which is really gratifying!"

Li An sat in the car, looked at the people on both sides of the road who relied on the street lamps to do small business, and said with great relief.

"Husband, these ordinary people rely on both sides of the road to do business, in order to facilitate their lives, they also built simple houses on the side of the road, which looks like that, and the imperial court charges a monthly management fee."

Li Hanlu said.

This is a very natural thing, if only three or two people run to the street lamp to sell things, it is estimated that the court has no leisure to manage, but after there are more personnel, it is impossible not to manage, otherwise, it is easy to cause chaos, besides, these guys are doing business day and night, and the light of the street lamp is stained at night, so naturally a certain management fee will be charged, how can the court suffer this loss, and as long as the money collected is not very much, the people will not have much opinion.

Looking at these scenes in front of him, Ang Lee thought of a lot of memories of his previous life, in that developed era, the night market was a very popular place, Ang Lee also often went to the night market to eat and drink, a big bowl of crayfish, a few side dishes, plus a large barrel of beer, a few people around the table, drinking and talking, that feeling was not ordinary comfort.

Ang Lee misses this feeling very much, and at this moment, Ang Lee has this familiar feeling again, how can this not arouse Ang Lee's feelings of longing.

Since Li Hanlu and Li Ya'er went south, Yan Ruyu and everyone in the family have been waiting for Ang Lee's return, and from time to time they will send people to the imperial court to inquire about the news to get Ang Lee's accurate itinerary.

And after learning that Li An was getting closer and closer to Chang'an City, she prepared day and night, and went to the room where Li An lived every day to clean up and clean up.

In fact, there is nothing to clean, the servants have already cleaned the room spotlessly, Yan Ruyu is just not at ease, she will habitually come over every day to take a look, and she will be very happy to see the room neatly and neatly, sometimes, she will sit in Ang Li's room for a while, looking at the furnishings in the room, she will be very happy to show an intoxicating smile.

"My husband is coming back soon, and the weather is getting cold, do you want to add a quilt."

Yan Ruyu looked at the thin quilt on Li An's couch, and frowned slightly.

"Madame, ma'am, good news, good news!"

Cao'er ran in in a panic.

When Yan Ruyu heard this, she immediately thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Is Ah Lang back?" ”

Cao'er nodded again and again: "Yes, madam, Ah Lang is back, when I got off the train at the train station just now, the second lady sent someone to deliver the letter, it is estimated that it should be there at this time." ”

"Oops! It's great to finally be back, quick, gather everyone, and get ready to go outside the door to meet your husband. ”

Yan Ruyu said excitedly.

Soon, the male and female servants of the house all ran to the front yard and lined up to welcome Ang Lee's return.

"Sister, is my husband really back?"

The brute asked, standing in the front yard.

As a female dependent, it is inconvenient for her to stand outside the door to greet her, unless Li An has already arrived at the door, she has to go out to greet her.

"Hanlu just sent an escort to deliver the news, the husband has already gotten off at the train station, it is estimated that it will be there in a while, we just have to wait, by the way, you guys go to the room to get some food and hot water."

Yan Ruyu opened her mouth and said, and did not forget to order the servants to prepare wine, food and hot water, in case Li An came back hungry, or wanted to take a bath or something, he could also prepare it as soon as possible.

Tang'er, Man'er and Han'er, these three children have already fallen asleep, Yan Ruyu naturally won't wake them up in order to let them greet Li An, the most important thing is for the children to sleep enough.

There was not much distance from the train station to Ang Lee's villa, but Ang Lee deliberately slowed down the trip, so he didn't get home too quickly, and he stopped on the way to buy some tempting snacks on the roadside, which delayed the time even more.

For the distance from the train station to the villa, Yan Ruyu and the others are naturally very clear, and they are even more clear about the means of transportation that Li An may take, according to the time calculation, the time when Li An arrived at the other courtyard should be about the same as the guards who came to inform him one step earlier, that is, the difference between the front and rear feet, but they waited for a long time, but they never waited for Li An's arrival, which made them quite anxious.

"Sister, why hasn't Ah Lang arrived yet! It's time to count! ”

After waiting for a while, the barbarian seemed a little anxious, how much he longed, how anxious he was in his heart.

Yan Ruyu was also a little anxious, but she couldn't see the slightest anxious expression on the surface, and she opened her mouth to comfort the barbarian, saying: "Sister, don't worry, Ah Lang hasn't come back for more than a year, Chang'an City has changed so much, maybe, he enjoyed the night view halfway, and it is normal to come back later." ”

After speaking, he directly dispatched a number of guards, rode horses to check the situation, and immediately came back to report the situation when he found the situation.

Actually, Ang Li didn't delay for too long, but Yan Ruyu and the others were too anxious, so they felt that it was a long time.

"Madam, Madam, Ah Lang has returned, returned."

A manservant waiting outside the gate walked to the front yard and said excitedly.

Yan Ruyu was very happy, and hurriedly took everyone from the front yard to the gate to welcome Ang Li's return.

Observing from the car window, Ang Lee saw the expressions of anticipation from everyone, which made his heart quite happy, the feeling of going home was so wonderful, Ang Lee finally returned to his dream home.

Home is not just a house, it is a haven for wanderers, it is a station for the soul, it is a place that everyone desires very much, only those who have a family are happy, those who have no home are sad, there is no happiness at all, and in the final analysis, the main body of the home is people, not the house, no matter how many houses there is no warmth of home, once the living person is lost, even if there are more houses, there will be no feeling of home.

Seeing that all the family members were standing outside the door intact to greet him, Ang Lee was really happy, as long as everyone was well, that was the greatest luck.

"Ruyu, brutal, haha, you're all right!"

As soon as Li An got out of the car, he walked towards Yan Ruyu and asked in a very concerned tone.

"Husband, we're all fine, it's cold outside, let's go into the house and talk!"

Yan Ruyu is very knowledgeable, and hurriedly pulled Li An towards the gate, there are occasional pedestrians passing by outside, and naturally there is nothing to say at the gate, and it is not too safe.

"Ruyu, Tang'er, they all fell asleep?"

Li An was naturally very concerned about his child, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, they've all fallen asleep, do you want to go and see?"

Yan Ruyu knew that Li An wanted to see the child, so she hurriedly said.

Li Ang was very eager to see his little baby, so he walked quickly to the backyard, wanting to see his little baby earlier.

In order to facilitate the care, the three little babies live very close together, and sometimes they are all placed in one room, so that only one person can take care of them to sleep, which can greatly reduce the workload of the servants.

At this time, the three little dolls are who are in the same room, but it is not a bed, the larger Tang Er occupies one by himself, Man'er and Han'er occupy one, and the outer one is for the maid who keeps vigil.

Because the maid knew that after Li An returned, she would definitely come to see her child, so there was no one on the couch outside, and the quilts were neatly folded.

"Tang'er, Man'er, Han'er, where's my little baby?"

Ang Lee walked into the room and kissed the three little babies one by one, his heart was completely melted, and it felt so wonderful.

Although this behavior did not wake up the three babies, they still reacted more or less, which made Ang Lee even happier.

"Look at these three boys, the sleeping posture is different, Tang'er is still the same, he likes to sleep with his mouth open, Man'er still likes to smack his lips and play, he must have dreamed of eating meat, Han'er is the cutest, he likes to sleep with his mouth pouted, hahaha!"

Ang Lee said as he laughed happily.

"Husband, the children are asleep, don't wake them up, let's go out!"

Yan Ruyu said with a smile.

Li An was still a little reluctant, and said, "You go out first, and I want to kiss a few more people." ”

After saying that, he kissed the three children one by one, and then left the room satisfied.
