When they returned to Ninghua from Fucheng, Shen Mingjun and Shen Xi's father and son laughed and laughed. When he went back, the two of them turned into four people, with heavy luggage around them, and Shen Xi shrank in the corner in front of the Wang family, who looked like an old witch, and his body was tossed and turned, extremely uncomfortable, and he didn't even bother to say a word.

Even the horses didn't seem to be satisfied, and they were always snorting along the way.

It's okay to sit in the carriage and hurry, as long as you don't talk and sleep against the wall of the carriage, but when you get to the inn where you settle down along the way, Wang's troubles will come.

For a while, he said that people's dishes were salty, and for a while, he accused the tea of being slow, and he had to take a hot bath at night, and he hated that people's bath water was slow to boil.

The most disgusting thing is that halfway through the bath, I actually asked the store to change the water.

The entire inn, from the shopkeeper to the second child, is a man, who dares to enter her room when she is taking a bath?

But the rich is the uncle, the Wang family spends Shen Mingjun's money is not distressed, the silver of the white flowers is revealed, the innkeeper is stunned to go to the backyard to call Mrs., Mrs. refuses to come, or the shopkeeper's lady is sensible, and comes to help change the hot water. Shen Xi ran up and down at the door obediently and passed the word, which tired him enough.

There are four people in a group, and there is a woman, the Wang family wants one room by himself, and the remaining three people are too crowded to squeeze into one room, and in the end they can only open two more rooms, and Shen Xi and Shen Yongzhuo sleep together.

At night, because of Shen Yongzhuo's snoring, Shen Xi didn't sleep well all night. Anyway, he didn't want to see the old witch's face, so he just made up for sleep in the carriage during the day.

Finally, two days after departure, on the afternoon of the eighth day of the lunar month, the carriage arrived safely in Fucheng.

Because I didn't find anyone to inform in advance, I went straight home into the city this time.

When he arrived at the door, Zhou didn't come back from the pharmacy, so Shen Xi volunteered to call someone. Zhou was overjoyed when he saw Shen Xi, and hurriedly asked Xiu'er to go to the silver horn to call Hui Niang back.

"Xiaolang didn't ask anyone to notify him in advance when he came back, I just received a letter from you for the county test two days ago." Xie Yun'er said with a smile, she was also happy that Shen Xi passed the county test. Shen Xi didn't have time to say much to her, because there were still Wang and Shen Yongzhuo's mother and son at home who needed to be received.

As soon as they came out of the back hall, Lin Dai and Lu Xi'er hurriedly ran down from upstairs. Lin Dai can still maintain her demeanor, Lu Xi'er doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, she directly plunges into Shen Xi's arms, and said in surprise: "Brother Shen Xi is back." ”

And after that. Even if Shen Xi and Zhou returned home, Lu Xi'er refused to let go of Shen Xi's arms, which made Lin Dai's little face behind the two of them always have resentment, and her fierce look seemed to stare at the pair of "dog men and women" in front of her with her eyes.

"Gee, isn't this a brother and sister. I haven't seen it for more than a year, and it seems to be much plump. When Wang saw Zhou, his tone of voice was a little weird.

Shen Mingwen defected to Fucheng half a year ago, hoping that Shen Mingjun would find a way to bring his wife and children here to live a good life without constraints, but Zhou wrote back to Li and pierced the window paper. Wang only learned about this later, and since then she has always had a grudge against Zhou, so she is waiting to find an opportunity to meet Zhou and have a good theory.

But this time, Wang accompanied his son to Fucheng to take the exam. Even if there is a thorn in her heart, she can't show it too obviously, and she still maintains her usual style of scolding without dirty words, and even sarcastically talking about Zhou, so that Zhou can't hear anything else.

Because of pregnancy, coupled with good family conditions, eating well and sleeping well, Zhou is naturally fatter, and it was Wang who used to say that Zhou's "sharp-beaked monkey gills must be a shrew", and she now clearly says that Zhou's "plump". In fact, he also made a fuss about Zhou's previous appearance, and mocked Zhou as a shrew.

Zhou didn't know if he could taste the meaning, so he held up a big belly that had been pregnant for more than seven months, and received Wang's mother and son to sit in it with a smile

Because I don't really want to hear adults talk about family life. Shen Xi didn't follow up, and stayed in the courtyard to accompany the two loli.

"Xi'er, Dai'er, have you missed me for more than a month?" Shen Xi pinched Lu Xi'er's round little face and asked with a smile.

"I think about it, I think about it every day...... Brother Shen Xi. If you don't come back, I'll ask my mother to take me to you. Lu Xi'er was coquettish in Shen Xi's arms.

Lin Dai snorted lightly: "It's only been a month, who rarely thinks about it, it's best not to come back for a year." ”

Shen Xi knew that Lin Dai was like the old lady, she was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, but in fact, this little girl's heart was so hot that she laughed at the moment: "I'm afraid that my little Dai'er will be widowed...... Thinking of Dai'er's beautiful appearance, I was afraid that I would be remembered by some thief outside, so I rushed back immediately after the exam. ”

Hearing Shen Xi's words of praise and longing, Lin Dai stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, making a look of disgust, but there was finally a smile on her face.

While he was talking, Wang's dissatisfied voice came from inside: "...... Brother and sister, it's rare for our mother and son to go to Fucheng, and we are also thinking about letting Da Lang pass the government exam successfully, what's wrong with living in your house? You just treat us like this, do you want to drive our orphans and widows to the guest house? ”

Zhou hurriedly explained: "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean that, I mean, when the uncle was in Fucheng before, we helped rent a yard, and now the yard is empty, and it is just right for the sister-in-law and the eldest lang to live in the past." We have a lot of people in our family, and the place is small, so we really can't accommodate so many people. ”

The easier Zhou spoke, the louder Wang's voice became: "Don't mention this to me, if it weren't for you, my father-in-law would have been taken back by my mother, and I wouldn't be able to get out of the house next to the firewood room in the backyard for half a year?" I get angry when I think about it, you have a husband and a son, and now you have it in your belly, what about me, I have lived in the same house with my husband for half a year, but my mother is unreasonable, and she can't even let me go in to see my father-in. It's all up to you! ”

Wang's breath came up, and he didn't care about sending people under the fence and asking for help, and scolded viciously and mercilessly.

Originally, Zhou's was pregnant, her son passed the county test, and now even her husband has returned, and the family is harmonious and doesn't want to be angry, but Wang's family doesn't give up, as if he came all the way to quarrel with her.

"Xianggong, tell your sister-in-law."

Zhou had no choice but to compromise, "The pharmacy needs someone to take care of it, I have to go back to work!" If you want to live in the yard over there, the keys are in a drawer at home. ”

After saying that, Zhou walked out of the hall with a dark face, but after seeing Shen Xi, she still couldn't hide her excitement and joy on her face.

"Let's go to the shop...... My mother missed you to death, so she made you new clothes and delicious food. Zhou took Shen Xi's hand, followed by two loli, and the four of them went to the pharmacy on Front Street together.

As soon as I entered the backyard, I saw a simple Hui Niang standing at the door of the back hall. He looked at the door with a delightful face. Before Shen Xi stepped forward, Lu Xi'er ran over first, wrapping her arms around Hui Niang's waist: "Mother, Brother Shen Xi is back." ”

"Mother knows. Didn't you come back to see him? ”

Hui Niang has no blood relationship with Shen Xi, even if she misses Shen Xi in her heart, she can't have too intimate actions with Shen Xi in public like her daughter.

When he arrived in the back hall, Zhou kept asking questions, mainly about the details of Shen Xi's passing the county exam.

Of course, Shen Xi hid the fact that he was sleeping in the examination room. To add fuel and vinegar, he said how difficult the exam was, what troubles he encountered when entering the venue, one exam was more complicated than the other, and the difficulty of passing the test gradually escalated, it sounded as if he had gone through a lot of difficulties and dangers to pass the county exam.

In the end, it was Hui Niang Hui Huang who asked directly: "Xiaolang, what is the first time you have been there?" ”

Shen Xi scratched his head and said honestly: "The first scene." ”

Zhou's slapped on Shen Xi's head: "Han Wa'er, I want to make up so many nonsense to make my mother worried." Right? You passed the first exam, so what does the next exam have to do with you? ”

scolded on his lips, but he was happier in his heart. Her son not only passed the county exam, but also passed the first one, which was much better than she expected.

Shen Xi looked at Hui Niang with a wronged expression, as if he was blaming her for talking too much.

Hui Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "You little guy, you can't change your bad habits, you have to say that the exam is as difficult as saying that you have learned scriptures from the West, and even your aunt almost believed you." ”

Just when the family was laughing and harmonious, there was a neighborhood woman at the back door. When the woman saw the door open, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yo, isn't this our Shen Xiaoxiucai?" Did the person just come back? Why is it that your father still has a woman with him, and he sees that the woman's sons are older than yours. ”

These words are clearly from the Qi Zhou family.

Zhou is known for his spicy presence in the neighborhood on weekdays. But after she became pregnant, her temper subsided a lot, and at this time she went over to close the door in person, explaining by the way:

"Aunt He, you are wrong, that is not a woman raised by my father-in-law. It was my sister-in-law who brought her nephew into Fucheng to take the government exam, and our Shen family has two children who have passed the county exam this year. ”

Then Aunt He was going to say a few words of amusement, but she stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling person, and when she saw that the Zhou family spoke so politely, she couldn't help lowering her posture, and sighed sincerely: "Oh, I didn't expect your Shen family to be so capable, it seems that the Shen family will be able to move from Ninghua to Fucheng in the future." ”

Zhou smiled and agreed, closed the door, and came back. Shen Xi was a little incredulous: "Mother, you seem to have changed." In the past, you would have absolutely scolded. ”

Zhou nodded Shen Tou and pointed his finger: "Han Wa'er, don't talk nonsense, my mother is a lady, how can I have a verbal dispute with others?" Isn't it, sister? ”

Hui Niang smiled and nodded.

Shen Xi glanced at Lao Niang and Hui Niang, and said in his heart that Lao Niang's personality changed, in addition to the reason for pregnancy, in fact, it was mainly due to Hui Niang.

Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and there is a gentle and generous woman like Hui Niang as an example, and slowly and imperceptibly affects the character of the old lady. In the past, the reason why the old lady was so spicy was mainly related to the fact that there were real "shrews" like Wang and Qian in the family.

Although Zhou and Hui Niang are both in the pharmacy, now the affairs of the store are handed over to Xie Yun'er and Xiaoyu. Zhou took the new clothes to Shen Xi to try on, Shen Xi looked a little tight after putting them on, Zhou asked in surprise: "It's obviously made according to the size, why can't you wear it?" ”

Hui Niang smiled: "Sister, didn't you forget? Xiaolang is growing taller every day, and his clothes are not bigger, how can he be? ”

"Oh, it's all my fault for being confused, I thought he was away for more than a month, and where would he grow again? It's okay, it's okay, anyway, you can wear it if you change your clothes. ”

Zhou put away his clothes a little embarrassed.

At this time, Hui Niang went upstairs, took down a brand new dress, and said, "Sister, when I have nothing to do, I also sewed one for Xiaolang and put it on for him to see if it fits?" ”

Zhou said in surprise: "Sister sewing clothes? How did I not know? ”

She slept in the same bed with Hui Niang every day, but she didn't know that Hui Niang had made new clothes for Shen Xi.
