Besides, Jia Ke cooperated with Lin Zhixiao to count the silver taels, gold, pearls and jade and other things that Lai had copied from everyone and put them into the warehouse one by one. Then he brought the three thousand taels of silver that Jia's mother had rewarded and came to the front yard. Then let the soldiers help, along with the money and other things stolen from Li An's house, and send them to Aunt Zhou in the backyard.

Aunt Zhou heard that Jia Ke was back last night, but she waited in the house all night yesterday and didn't see Jia Ke come back, so she was so anxious that her heart was like a fire.

The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, Xia Mai was asked to inquire everywhere. Xia Mai is still very good at inquiring about the news, and soon found out that Jia Ke came back to see the master last night, so he went to the front yard and didn't come back all night.

Aunt Zhou waited anxiously in the house until the afternoon, only to see Jia Ke come in with a group of people and a few boxes.

When Aunt Zhou saw Jia Ke, she jumped up and hugged her, crying and scolding: "Little thing with no conscience, it's been so long since you left, and you don't give me a letter, you really want to kill me." ”

Jia Ke was also very excited to see Aunt Zhou, who he hadn't seen for a long time, since he crossed over, he had long regarded Aunt Zhou as his own mother, and he missed Aunt Zhou very much after not seeing him for so long.

He quickly apologized and said, "Auntie, don't cry, didn't I come back to see you." The son also thinks about his aunt from time to time outside, but he really doesn't have time to come back to visit his aunt. ”

After Jia Ke's persuasion, Aunt Zhou stopped crying, looked at Jia Ke with a smile on her face, and then somehow began to sobble again: "Thin, life outside is definitely not as good as at home, Chuncao, a dead hoof, didn't take care of you, and it didn't take long to lose weight outside." ”

Jia Ke saw that there were still many pro-soldiers waiting, Aunt Zhou's appearance made him very embarrassed, he was only the commander of the pro-soldier team in Xia Caozhuang, but now he was rubbed around by Aunt Zhou like a child, which made him feel very shameless.

So quickly diverted Aunt Zhou's attention. said: "Auntie, look at what I brought back this time." ”

At this time, Aunt Zhou noticed that there were many people around, and she was embarrassed. Only then did he spare Jia Ke and said, "Next time, if you don't come back to see your aunt for so long, see if I look good for you." ”

Jia Ke saw that Aunt Zhou was no longer making trouble, and quickly ordered his soldiers to carry the things to the house where he used to live. Then he called Liu Yu into the house and said to him, "Brothers who have worked hard these days, you count six hundred taels of silver out of these silvers, and each brother will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." The rest is you, your father, and Lin Zhixiao. ”

Where did Liu Yu dare to accept it, he waved his hand again and again and said: "Your uncle's business is our business, how dare you collect the money again." This is absolutely unacceptable. ”

Jia Ke said to Liu Yu: "You don't have to refuse, this silver is not for you alone, I rewarded it to all the pro-soldiers, you just have a hand, you don't have to have other ideas." ”

Liu Yu saw that Jia Ke insisted on rewarding, so he no longer shirked, Jia Ke opened a silver box, counted out six hundred taels of silver from it and handed it to Liu Yu. Liu Yu and other members of the pro-soldier team took the silver and thanked Jia Ke for their kindness, and finally everyone left together.

Aunt Zhou was originally speechless beside her, but when she saw that Jia Ke had given so much silver taels to the pro-soldier team, her eyes were red with anger. looked at this loser son, and couldn't wait to go up and slap him awake.

When the pro-soldiers were gone, Aunt Zhou came up and was about to twist Jia Ke's ears, Jia Ke hurriedly dodged everywhere, and Aunt Zhou chased after her, while saying: "Look at me I will kill you as a loser, so much silver taels will be given to others in vain, and I have never seen so much money in my life with your aunt." ”

Jia Ke hurriedly explained to Aunt Zhou: "These pro-soldier team members, following me from Xiacaozhuang to Wangjiatun, and then from Wangjiatun to the capital, have been sleepless for several days, not only to protect my safety, but also to guard these finances It is very hard, if you don't reward me, who will work with your son in the future." ”

After listening to his explanation, Aunt Zhou let him go, but she still muttered that it didn't cost so much money.

Aunt Zhou was born in a poor family since she was a child, and she was an aunt to Jia Zheng, and she only had two taels of monthly money a month, and she always wanted to leave more money for Jia Ke, and your life on weekdays was also very simple, so she was very sensitive to money.

Jia Ke was very touched by Aunt Zhou's dedication to him, and took her hand into the house, and after entering the house, she opened the wooden boxes for her to see, and Aunt Zhou saw that the boxes were full of silver, and there were several boxes. was already completely stupid, grabbing Jia Ke's hand and trembling, his body would be so soft that he couldn't stand up, if it wasn't for Jia Ke beside him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

It took a long time for Aunt Zhou to come to her senses and said to Jia Ke: "Where did the money come from, does the master know?" It's not going to happen. ”

Jia Ke comforted her and said: "Some of these belongings were rewarded by the old lady yesterday, and some of them were rewarded by the old lady today, so my aunt just rest assured." All this money is too much to see. ”

Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, then walked forward and touched the boxes one by one, turned around and said to Jia Ke with a smile: "With this money, you will go out in the future, and you will no longer have to worry about living without money." ”

At the beginning, Jia Ke watched her touch one box after another, and thought that Aunt Zhou liked money very much, but now when she heard her say this, she knew that he was planning for his future, and his heart was even more moved.

Jia Ke stepped forward and said to Aunt Zhou: "Auntie don't have to worry about her future life, please take this money casually, my son will definitely have greater achievements in the future, so that my aunt will be ten times more beautiful than now, a hundred times." ”

Aunt Zhou said: "I don't want any scenery, I just hope that you will get married quickly and give me a grandson, which will be beautiful." As he spoke, his eyes were looking forward to a better life in the future.

At this moment, I heard Xia Mai's shout outside the house: "Auntie, it's not early, isn't it time to eat?" ”

Aunt Zhou realized that it was not early, and Jia Ke had not eaten yet.

Aunt Zhou shouted outside the house, "Wait, I'll come out immediately." After saying that, I locked every box, but I didn't feel at ease and checked it again. Only then did he go out with Jia Ke, and when Xia Mai saw Jia Ke, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Hello young master." ”

When Jia Ke saw Xia Mai, he took out a silver ingot of more than one or two from his arms, threw it to Xia Mai, and said to her: "Let the kitchen fry a few more good dishes, and the rest of the silver will be rewarded to you." ”

Xia Mai excitedly took the silver, turned around and ran out.

Aunt Zhou unconsciously complained to him again: "How can you use so much money to copy a few more dishes, Xia Mai is really good, you dare to take it if you give it to her." ”

After listening to Aunt Zhou's nagging, Jia Ke didn't refute it, but just listened quietly with a smile. Jia Ke felt that such a scene was very warm, it was a mother's concern for her son who had returned from afar.

Xia Mai hadn't called for dinner yet, but Jia Zheng came. Jia Zheng is becoming more and more satisfied with Jia Ke, and his attention to Jia Ke has far exceeded that of Jia Zhu.

Aunt Zhou was even happier when she saw Jia Zheng coming. It's been a long time since they've had a reunion dinner together.

Soon the meal came, Jia Zheng sat in the middle, and Aunt Zhou and Jia Ke accompanied each other on both sides. Although Jia Zheng is very satisfied with Jia Ke, he is not born to praise people. Therefore, at the dinner table, it is just a matter of saying things that let him continue to work hard and not slack off. Jia Ke was naturally full of promises.

Aunt Zhou looked at the harmony between their father and son, and couldn't close her mouth with a smile. kept persuading wine and food at the banquet, and Jia Zheng was drunk unconsciously. Jia Ke saw that Jia Zheng was drunk, so he said goodbye and went back to the house to rest. and Aunt Zhou waited for Jia Zheng to sleep.
