Chapter 209: It's hard to get in
Chen Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled her a few times, who knew that although Qin Xianglian didn't know martial arts, she had practiced her strength after a long time of physical labor, but she didn't pull it, which made Chen Yuan feel very shameless.
Han Qi, who was on the road, saw the action of the two, and immediately smiled: "Linghua girl, it's time for you to take the initiative to go." ”
Linghua had already prepared her thoughts, and when she heard Han Qi say this, she also walked to the field and walked in front of Qin Xianglian: "I have a gift for my sister, this time I came a little abruptly, the etiquette is a lot inconsiderate, and I ask my sister not to be surprised." ”
Qin Xianglian hurriedly pushed Chen Yuan away, walked up and wanted to pick up Linghua, looked at her hand but hesitated, and finally wiped her hand twice on her body, with a simple smile on her face: "Sister, get up, get up!" This country is dirty, we don't have so many rules, and I don't know any rules, just get up quickly, don't stain your clothes. ”
The two women seemed to be very harmonious and polite to each other, which made Chen Yuan very pleased. What is a good woman? A woman like Qin Xianglian is a good woman!
secretly said in his heart, I don't know if it was Chen Shimei's cultivation in his previous life, or his own cultivation in his previous life. It doesn't seem to be, he wasn't a good bird in his previous life, especially for women. Chen Shimei's previous life is estimated to be no better.
After thinking about it, I think it is most appropriate to describe it as a man who is not bad and a woman who is not loved.
"Don't talk about it here, let's go home and see the child and father." Chen Yuan said with a happy smile on his face.
The most difficult problem was solved so easily, which made Chen Yuan feel a little surprised. Qin Xianglian pulled Linghua very enthusiastically: "Sister, I'll help you go, there are many dirt roads in this countryside, and it's easy to get stuck." ”
Chen Yuan didn't say anything in the past, just walked in front and led the way with a happy face, listening to the conversation between the two people in his ears, which made him feel that happiness was nothing more than this.
In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the door, and Chen Yuan saw an old man pulling a **-year-old girl, looking at something at the door. That is his own home, that is Chen Shimei's father and daughter.
The daughter is called Chen Chunmei, and there is a son named Chen Dongge, both of these names were obtained by the old man, is it a bit old-fashioned? To be honest, the old man has been reading for a few years, and it is not difficult to let him choose a nice name, such as the name Chen Shimei, which has been famous for centuries, right?
But the main purpose of the name is to call it, it sounds pleasing to the ear, and it is easy to shout. In this small mountain village, there is really no need to give a child a crepe name.
When her daughter saw Chen Yuan, she shouted from afar: "Dad! Then the whole person flew over.
Chen Yuan also showed a heartfelt smile, responded loudly, and hugged the little girl: "Alas! My daughter has grown taller! ”
When he held the child in his arms, Chen Yuan really felt very happy. In his previous life, his parents left early, and this feeling of coming home really shook his inner world.
The child was attached to Chen Yuan's chest, and the little hand stroked the whip marks on Chen Yuan's face: "Daddy, have you been beaten by bad people?" ”
Chen Yuan smiled: "It's okay, come, Daddy brought you some things back this time, do you like it or not." ”
When Han Qi behind him heard this, he had already picked up two loads of gifts.
Opening one of the picks, Chen Yuan took out a piece of high-quality silk weaving clothes, put it in his hand and hesitated: "Oh, I haven't seen my daughter for two years, and my father doesn't know if my daughter can wear it when he buys this dress, let's try it." ”
Qin Xianglian behind her followed, took the dress in her hand and shook it open and looked at it: "You can wear it, but it's a waste for you to buy such a good thing for the baby to wear!" Worth a lot of money, right? She will grow taller in a few years, and she will not be able to wear it! ”
Qin Xianglian's tone was full of blame, but Chen Yuan heard another sweet enjoyment in his ears, this is his wife, don't dislike her, she is because she is always thinking about saving money for you.
When Qin Xianglian spoke, she leaned the dress on Chunmei's body, whether it was workmanship or embroidery, the clothes were from the best workshop in Bianjing, Chen Chunmei had obviously never seen such a beautiful dress, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a wave of excitement could not be concealed on her innocent face.
However, she didn't get excited for too long, Qin Xianglian just gestured, and then put away her clothes: "I can wear it, but it's a pity that this year's New Year has passed, and I will wear it next year's New Year." ”
Chen Chunmei's face became very ugly with these words, and the tears filled her eyes: "Mother! ”
Qin Xianglian slapped her lightly: "Obedient!" ”
Chen Yuan smiled and took the clothes: "Come, put it on now, don't listen to your mother." In the future, you don't have to wait for the Chinese New Year, as long as you want new clothes, Dad will buy them for you immediately. ”
This sentence is considered a chicken feather to Qin Xianglian, and when it reaches Chen Chunmei's ears, it is an arrow, snatching the clothes from Chen Yuan's hand, and running back to the house to change clothes.
Qin Xianglian seemed to be a little angry, but Chen Yuan took out a package and walked towards Chen Shimei's father respectfully.
He didn't prepare a gift for Qin Xianglian, because Qin Xianglian's gift was prepared for her by Linghua, which was an excellent opportunity to coordinate the relationship between them.
Linghua took out a few boxes at the right time, and they were just clothes: "Sister, this is the clothes that Xianggong bought for you, I picked the color for you, I don't know if my sister likes it or not?" ”
Qin Xianglian is the kind of village woman who has never seen the world, really. So when Linghua said this, she seemed very cramped, and she couldn't care about the set on Chunmei anymore.
From the time Chen Yuan appeared to the present, the old man has always kept an iron face and did not speak, and there were a few times in the middle that he seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed it back.
If you have an opinion, you can only start to convince him as long as he expresses his dissatisfaction with himself. And not speaking coldly like this will not solve any problem at all.
With a slightly embarrassed smile, Chen Yuan took a few steps forward before calling out the voice of his father: "Dad, this is the tea specially bought for you, as well as this teapot and teacup, which I also bought from the imperial kiln." ”
The corners of the old man's mouth moved twice, and finally said, "Thank you, we poor people can't afford such things." ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked to the wall and sat down on the door frame: "Brother Dong! Bring Grandpa's tea bowl! ”
glanced at Chen Shimei: "We poor people, it is enough to have a bowl to drink herbal tea." ”
Chen Yuan took two steps forward and knelt at the old man's feet: "Dad, I know you are angry, if there is fire, you can hit me twice." ”
The old man did not stretch out his hand, closed his eyes and said, "How dare I, you are a rich man now, and I still expect to enjoy happiness with you!" Brother Dong! Brother Dong! ”
There was a rush of footsteps inside, and a child of four or five years old ran out of the room.
He was only more than two years old when Chen Yuan left, so the impression of Chen Yuan's father in his mind was also extremely weak, and when he heard that Chen Yuan came back, he had a fear of a country child seeing a strange guest, and he didn't dare to come out like his sister.
But when my sister brought a new dress back to the room, he immediately came out, ignoring his grandfather's order to serve tea, and shouted as he ran, "Daddy! Father! Do you have something of mine? Did you buy me something? ”
Chen Yuan smiled, knelt on the ground and didn't get up, and the child threw himself in front of him. Grandpa reached out and pulled him from behind: "You little thing, where's my tea?" ”
Brother Dong said impatiently: "You go by yourself!" Dad, did you buy me something? ”
Chen Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed at Han Qi behind him: "Go and ask him, I bought you a lot of fun things, as well as Trojan horses that can be pushed." ”
Brother Dong left Chen Yuan behind again and rushed to Han Qi.
The old man was very helpless and said: "It's not a thing like his father!" A man who sees money and has an eye for money! ”
Chen Yuan hurriedly stood up: "Dad, sit down, I'll pour you tea." ”
The old man did not speak, turned his head away, but did not refuse.
Chen Shimei's mother is obviously a lot more charitable, nothing is important to her, when Chen Yuan put a gloomy wooden cane in her hand, she didn't care about the value of this gift at all, she just said yes, looked at Chen Yuan's face and said yes.
For a mother, it is best for her child to come back, whether he returns home in fine clothes or begging for food.
Brother Dong held a wooden sword in his hand, pushed out the Trojan horse that Chen Yuan had bought for him for two hundred yuan, and ran in front of the door very excitedly, like a general galloping on the battlefield.
There is nothing unusual about the wooden sword, and the slightly ingenious people in the village also make models for their children, but the wooden horse, which can run a long distance by itself when it is pushed, Brother Dong has never seen such a toy. So he doesn't pay attention to anyone now, and of course he doesn't want others to bother him.
Chen Yuan poured the tea, filled it in the teapot he had newly bought, and brought it to the old man: "Dad, you drink tea." ”
The old man glanced at the teapot and looked visibly hesitant. He likes to drink tea, but his family does not allow him to buy tea. In the Song Dynasty, tea was a luxury enjoyed by the middle class, and a family like him who relied on more than a dozen acres of mountain fields and a daughter-in-law to farm, even if it was just a big bowl of tea powder, it was just a thought.
But he still didn't answer, he didn't answer, and he didn't say that he would let Chen Yuan take it back, so that Chen Yuan could only keep holding it, the atmosphere of the scene was a little embarrassing, Qin Xianglian didn't dare to come over and say anything, Linghua and Han Qi didn't dare to do anything.
After a while, Chen Shimei's mother walked up, first kicked the old man lightly with her foot, then took the teapot with a smile, and stuffed it into the old man's arms.
The old man saw that Chen Shimei's mother was using too much force, so he hurriedly reached out to pick up the teapot. The pot was still very hot, and the old man didn't hold the teapot handle, and his hands were so hot that he was fighting, but he was reluctant to throw the teapot away.
Han Qi next to him saw the opportunity quickly, rushed over with a busy lunge, grabbed the handle, and then turned it around and respectfully handed it to Chen Shimei's father again: "Old lady, you have taken it." ”
The old man rubbed his palm, which was a little numb, and looked at Chen Shimei's angrily: "You are an old immortal!" I almost hit the pot! This pot of novels is worth hundreds of times! I can't afford to sell you if I hit a pot! ”
When Chen Yuan heard him say this, he immediately smiled: "Dad, let me in, okay?" I've been walking for days, and I'm really tired. ”
The old man grinned: "Go home, go home, bring someone back and don't say a word in advance, at least let us have a preparation, there is nothing to eat, those who know say that you are not a thing, and those who don't know also say that I lack discipline!" ”
Qin Xianglian hurriedly said: "Dad, don't worry, I'll go to the market to buy some." ”
Having food or not eating is not a problem for Chen Yuan, this old man let himself in, Qin Xianglian is willing to buy food for himself, then all the troubles he thought about will not exist.
He immediately grabbed Qin Xianglian: "Lady, don't go, just let Han Qi go for a trip." Our horse was tied down to the side of the road, and he went very quickly. ”
Han Qi didn't wait for Chen Yuan to say more, he put down the things on his body at the moment, and only brought a few big money: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, I'll go now and come back immediately." I'll ride up the mountain in a moment, and promise not to keep you waiting. ”
Brother Dong on the side suddenly dropped his wooden horse and ran over: "Uncle, did you come on a big horse?" Will you take me with you? ”
Han Qi looked at Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan smiled: "Cheng, you guys go together, be careful not to fall on him." ”
Brother Dong cheered and ran away with Han Qi.
The old man was no longer angry, or he had already suppressed his anger, and Chen Yuan thought that it was time to introduce Linghua to his parents.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting, "Okay! Chen Shimei, you are finally back, what about the twenty taels of silver you owe me? Come back quickly, or I'll burn down your grass house! ”
