Chapter Twenty-Six: Home and Prosperity

"Pack your things and go home tomorrow!"

From the scene of the dragon boat race on the bank of the Xin'an River, after returning to the Majia Inn, Wang Fulin simply ordered these eight words to Jinbao. Of course, he will not forget to inform the palanquin man and Qiufeng Forsythia to get ready, and at the same time find the shopkeeper to settle the bill. For this reason, he hurriedly asked his sister and brother-in-law to go to Fucheng, as well as the Cheng family in Huangjiawu next door to say goodbye and send the news that he was about to return to his hometown.

When the person who went to deliver the letter came back, Master Cheng and Cheng Naixuan, father and son, both expressed regret that he couldn't stay longer, and Master Cheng also sent a generous Cheng Yi with a special gift. And the eldest sister Wang Yuanguan's reaction was much stronger, and she actually sent a servant woman from the family over, blaming him for why he said to leave, his uncle Wu Tianbao was about to come to the city, and the uncle and nephew were about to miss it. In this regard, Wang Fulin could only use the excuse of returning to his heart like an arrow, and promised that he would come to visit his sister first next time he entered the city, and it was easy to prevaricate and leave.

He really misses the calm Songming Mountain, as well as the spicy Erniang, the greedy little sister, if it weren't for the fact that it was too unsafe to walk at night, he would want to rush back overnight. But since he has already tasted some kind of signs from Ye Junyao, the leader of the Zhuang class, and Zhao Wuye, the leader of the Zhuang class, it seems a little wrong, and he hopes that his few reminders will have some effect.

However, he is a fledgling little showman, so he can only talk about it, otherwise it will be too much and cause disgust, and the little favor in the previous Fuxue incident will be in vain.

Early the next morning, Wang Fulin embarked on a journey back to his hometown. This time, he didn't mention a word to Jinbao at all, and went to ask the shopkeeper to rent another sedan pole early, but he didn't hire a sedan chair driver, but just asked the shopkeeper to hire a reliable porter to bring back all the things he had bought in the city before, and because there was no way to rotate on the road, he generously rewarded the four sedan chair men sent by Mr. Nanming's family, so that they were naturally willing to contribute.

So, when he saw the sliding rod that fell in front of him, Jin Bao was dumbfounded, and before he could object, he was directly pressed to the chair by Wang Fulin.

"When you came, your feet were worn out, and you didn't have much energy on the way back! Could it be that you want me to bear the charge of abusing my adopted son? ”

Jinbao knew that the second half of the sentence was a joke, but he was still moved in his heart, and quickly turned his back to wipe his eyes, and then whispered: "Dad, I'm not so squeamish." ”

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, that's it."

As for Forsythia and Qiu Feng, Wang Fulin asked them if they could walk thirty miles of mountain roads one night earlier, and if not, they would stay with the eldest sister of Fucheng for the time being. Forsythia came from a farmer's family, not only did housework since childhood, but also went to the farmland, only because the family was poor and was sold by his parents, but he was a natural pair of natural feet, only said that he could endure hardships since he was a child, and he walked without hindrance.

She said that she could walk, and Qiu Feng naturally said that she could walk, but when she got to the road, she saw that Wang Fulin had prepared a sliding rod for Jinbao, and when she heard that she said something like that, he couldn't help but remember that the last time he followed Ya Po from the city to Songming Mountain, he also walked, because he was in a hurry, and his feet were full of blood blisters on the sixty miles of mountain road, and he still remembers that feeling.

When he first came out of the city, he was still able to keep up with a few sedan chair drivers who were walking like flying, but he walked about six or seven miles, and as the sun gradually came out, he was dizzy and sweaty, and he only felt that his legs were like being tied with heavy objects, and he gradually became a little struggling. Fortunately, at this time, there was a pavilion for pedestrians to rest, and a deep well for drawing water to quench their thirst. When he was wiping his sweat with his sleeve, he felt that there was something more in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Jinbao handing over a peach.

"As soon as my father saw the peasants who came into the city to sell peaches on the road, he bought a basket, and the forsythia had just been washed with well water." Jin Bao explained, seeing that Qiu Feng took it with some hesitation, and thanked him again, he smiled and nodded, and when he turned around and saw that the forsythia had been given one to each of the palanquin bearers and porters, he didn't go over again, and found that Wang Fulin was standing on the side of the mountain road, looking at a tree full of fruits that he didn't recognize, and he was slightly in a daze, and he hurriedly walked forward.

"Doesn't Daddy eat peaches?"

"You eat first, I'm not thirsty." Wang Fulin smiled, then looked at the pedestrians, and said thoughtfully, "Go back and see if you can buy a horse and learn how to ride, otherwise every time you enter the city, you have to find a way to hire a sliding rod, it's too frustrating." ”

Jinbao didn't expect Wang Fulin to think about this, but he didn't understand these things, and it was not good to interface rashly. He subconsciously took a bite of the peach, feeling that the sweet juice overflowed the entire mouth at once, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his immature face.

When was the last time you ate a peach? It seems that I picked a green peach from a wild peach tree, and when I ate it, my mouth was full of astringency and bitterness......

Wang Fulin said that he would eat peaches later, but his eyes still fell on the tree. After thinking about it, he finally asked the sedan chair man to find a bamboo pole, knocked down a few small fruits, and casually found a handkerchief to wrap and put it beside him.

"Enough rest, right? Hurry up and wash your hands, it's time to go! ”

It wasn't until someone shouted in his ear that Jinbao's thoughts were interrupted, and he hurriedly dropped the peach pit and hurriedly went to wash his hands. On the next road, like Wang Fulin before, he fell asleep in a trance, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that there was already a familiar Songming Mountain in front of him, and it was clear that he had returned.

It is said that he is cowardly in his hometown, not to mention that when he left, he was sold by his brother as a slave, but now when he comes back, it is a world of difference, and he doesn't know how to face his fellow villagers for a while.

On the way back, Wang Fulin slowed down the trip considering that the sedan chair driver could not be rotated, so it was almost noon at this time, and there were still farmers working in the field. As soon as they entered the village, they already had sharp eyes, and soon one or twenty villagers surrounded them. Wang Fulin took the initiative to get off the sliding pole and stepped forward to greet them one by one, especially when he saw the villagers who accompanied him into the city at the beginning, he thanked him again and again.

Those things that he has been doing in the city these days have already been preached by people who have entered the city, so the people who are watching the excitement around are all curious and envious. Seeing him so polite, there are not a few people who are emotional.

In the past, although Wang Fulin was still excellent in his studies, and he was admitted to Xiucai early, he didn't pay much attention to people, how could it be like this time that it was a miraculous turnaround, and he was in the limelight, but he was still so approachable when he came back?

And those who knew the brotherly grievances between Wang Qiu and Jinbao looked at Jinbao even more embarrassed. got rid of such an inhuman brother, and now has a good father, this child is really bitter, and Wang Qiu's daughter-in-law took her son back to her parents' house after learning the news, this is really a different retribution! Of course, there are few people who are red-eyed and ask Jinbao sideways, but the little guy lowers his head and doesn't talk much, and he doesn't know what to do, but people with ulterior motives are helpless.

"Brother, brother!"

Hearing this voice, Wang Fulin looked up, and saw two figures, one large and one small, not far away, rushing towards this side. Seeing that they were carrying skirts and disregarding their manners, he hurriedly lined up the crowd to greet him, but he didn't expect that the little sister actually made a big sprint in the last dozen steps, overtook Wang Erniang at once, and threw herself into his arms. At this time, they were all people in the village, and there were no outsiders, so he picked up the little girl and put it down, then looked at the red and excited smiling face, and asked with a smile: "In the past few days at home, haven't you been naughty with your second sister?" ”

"Brother underestimates me too much, I'm not as diligent as you, I don't divide grains, I can help my second sister a lot!" The little sister is a big ghost, she raised her head and pierced her eyes and said, "Brother won't come back from the city empty-handed, right?" ”

"I'm not going to kill you!" Wang Fulin pointed to the sliding rod behind him and said, "Everything is on top, there are delicious and fun, you can pick and choose!" ”

"Brother, I knew you were the best now!"

The little sister cheered excitedly, and in a moment she went into the crowd to inspect the loot. At this time, Wang Fulin saw Wang Erniang. I saw that her eyes were full of excitement and excitement, but she showed an angry look, glared at him and said, "Since everything has been solved a long time ago, my brother should have come back a long time ago!" Do you know how anxious my little sister and I are waiting for you? You haven't heard from you anymore, I want to go to the city to find you! ”

"Yes, yes, it's me who is not good." Wang Fulin pressed Erniang's shoulders with both hands, and said with a smile, "You still complain that I came back late, the eldest sister heard that I was leaving yesterday, and blamed me for leaving too early, and I missed it with my uncle." Therefore, you can't have it both ways. These days in the city, I picked out two good silk horses, and went back to tailor clothes for you and my little sister. ”

"You know how to spend money indiscriminately!"

Wang Erniang wrinkled her nose, although she said so, her face was full of joy. Seeing that the surrounding villagers had not dispersed, she generously went up to say hello, what uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, all around were full of joyful laughter, and when the little sister ran over, whispered in her ear that there was something in the porter, she quickly summed it up in her heart, and immediately said: "My brother is not in these days, thanks to everyone taking care of me and my little sister." My brother brought back a lot of things from the city this time, and I went to each house with my brother to give gifts after I went back to clean them up, which can be regarded as thanking everyone for their help these days. ”

Seeing Wang Erniang's words smiling all around, Wang Fulin couldn't help but be amazed. It's just that when the crowd dispersed, he still had to remind: "I didn't buy enough things to distribute to dozens of families!" ”

"Thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the gift is light and affectionate, besides, it just happens that among the three tenants of our family, the most honest one has just come, and sent several fat chickens and ducks, fresh melons and fruits, and more than a dozen fresh fish, and send some to people together!" Wang Erniang raised her eyebrows, and then folded her fingers and calculated, "Besides, how can there be dozens of households, those who have really helped us, at most there are only a dozen households." Besides, brother, you came back safely from the city, your reputation is famous, and the market is bullish in our Songming Mountain Village, will people let us all go away with our hands full and return empty-handed? ”

"Okay, my second sister is really good at settling accounts!" Wang Fulin suddenly laughed, but then he saw Wang Erniang's eyes looking in one direction, he looked over there and found that it was Jinbao, and immediately secretly screamed badly. After all, Wang Erniang is not like the eldest sister Wang Yuanguan, and she is a top-level pungent and fierce attribute, so he had to cough lightly, "Jinbao's matter, I'll explain it to you when I get home......"

But before he finished speaking, he saw that Wang Erniang didn't pay attention to him at all, and walked straight to Jinbao, and looked at him from head to toe, when she heard Jinbao stammering and calling her second aunt, she raised her eyebrows and said: "What is your name, I didn't hear clearly!" ”

Jin Bao mustered up his courage, raised his voice and called out to the second aunt again, but immediately after him, another head came over to him: "What about me?" ”

Wang Fulin didn't expect that even the little sister would go to join in the fun, so he was not angry, and hurriedly walked up. But at this time, Jinbao's sister-in-law had already called out. I saw a happy smile on the little sister's face, and she cheered: "Great, I won't be the youngest in the family in the future!" ”

After saying this, she clasped her hands together and said with a smile: "Jinbao, listen to my sister-in-law in the future, and my sister-in-law will give you sugar gourds!" ”

Even Wang Erniang, who originally had a calm face, was suddenly amused by the little sister's childish words. It was only at this time that Wang Fulin, who was carrying a heart, breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as he can settle down at home before the two fathers and mothers he hasn't seen before they come back, it will always be easier to meet in the future!
