Zhang Fa and Shi Xiong took leave and sent their sister-in-law and nephew back to their parents.
Zhang Fa and his sister-in-law returned home with Zhang Xing's ashes. Xianglan is wearing filial piety clothes, and her son is also wearing filial piety clothes. Zhang Fa's mother saw her son come back with his mother, and he came back with a filial piety dress.
The old lady was a little confused, and she looked good and wore filial piety. "Zhang Fa, what are you doing with two people dressed in linen and filial piety?" The old lady asked in a trembling tone.
The son didn't tell him about going to war. She didn't know what was going on, and her intuition was a big bad thing. The old man went to farm and was not at home. The younger son went to the street to sell game.
Zhang Fa knelt down, and Xianglan and her son also knelt down. Although it was the first time she had met her mother-in-law, the kindness of the old lady still made Xianglan feel good. I arrived home and returned to the place where Zhang Xing was born and raised.
"Mother, children are not filial." Zhang Fa choked up and couldn't speak.
"Mother, daughter-in-law Xianglan visits her mother-in-law." Xianglan burst into tears, pressed her son's head again, and asked her son to kowtow to his grandmother.
The old lady's legs went limp, and she fell to the ground. The eldest son did not come back, the daughter-in-law and grandson came back, and the linen and filial piety returned.
"Where is my son Zhang Xing, where is he?" The old lady got up from the ground and hugged Xianglan tremblingly, her cloudy eyes were full of hope.
Pandan hung her head and cried loudly. The son was also crying on the side. Zhang Fa walked to his mother's side, "Mother, your grandson is back, you have to take care of your grandson." My eldest brother will be at peace in the spirit of heaven. ”
"My son, my son." The old lady's hands trembled, crying and calling Zhang Xing's name. "You are so ruthless, you don't go home all these years, it's your daughter-in-law and children who go home, why don't you think about the old mother, the old father, and leave ruthlessly. Let the white-haired man send the black-haired man. ”
The old lady cried sadly, Xianglan also cried loudly, Zhang Fa couldn't persuade her, so she hid her face and shed tears. Some of the neighbors who lived nearby heard the crying in the courtyard of Zhang's house, and hurriedly ran over to check the situation.
"His aunt, it's a pleasure for your family to meet..." Looking at the two mothers wearing filial piety clothes next to them, the word happy returned to their throats.
"My wife hasn't left yet, and my son has gone at a young age, how can you let me live. In my heart, I hope that one day their family of three will come back and reunite, and they will never be able to do it again. God, you took me in, I'm at this age, why do you accept my son? The old lady beat her feet and cried.
Someone had already heard about the Zhang family, and ran to the field to find the old man, "Your sister-in-law is crying." Your daughter-in-law is back with her grandson. ”
"What about my son Zhang Xing? Is Zhang Xing back? Is it the three of them who are back? The old man was happy, and ran forward in three steps and one big stride.
"Brother, slow down and don't fall." The neighbor who reported the news followed closely behind.
The person who reported the news didn't dare to say that your daughter-in-law and grandson came back wearing filial piety clothes. The old man ran to a place far away from the house, and he heard the cry that shook the earth.
Where is the joyful atmosphere of seeing each other, and the tragic atmosphere of parting. The old man's legs and feet were shaking, and he lingered at the door, not daring to go in.
"Brother, go in and persuade my sister-in-law." The messenger helped him in. The old man walked in in a daze.
"Old woman, what are you crying about, the child is back, and he still doesn't go to cook." The old man's eyes were straight.
"My son, Zhang Xing, he stayed outside and never came back. I, my son. The old lady grabbed the old man's ankle and fell.
Neighbors stepped forward to reassure the family. Xianglan held back her tears, making the old man too sad, Zhang Xing would not rest in peace, she wiped away her tears. Tie an apron to find the kitchen.
The son followed behind with her clothes, and Xianglan lit a fire and boiled water to cook. When the neighbors saw Xianglan's actions, they were very impressed, this is a daughter-in-law who is strong and knows the etiquette.
The neighbor to the east sent chickens, the neighbor to the west brought venison, and the neighbor in front carried a basket of eggs, "Niece and daughter-in-law, you go to see the children, and we will help you cook." ”
Aunt Xianglan thanked them one by one, stood up and bowed to thank them. "I'm fine, auntie, please persuade my mother more, my mother and my father are old and can't stand the blow."
Xianglan chopped vegetables and cooked rice with her hands and feet, "Auntie, you can eat at home." By the way, communicate with my father and my mother, and if you stay by your side and talk to them, they will feel better. ”
The old lady was still lying on the bed, and her flesh was in pain. Neighbors came to visit and comfort the elderly. Huang Ying was confined at her mother's house and gave birth to a big fat son, and Huang Ying's mother went to visit the old sisters.
The two held hands and talked, and Xianglan brought a bowl of chicken soup to her mother-in-law, soaked rice, and brought it over to feed her mother-in-law.
"This is a daughter-in-law, such a handsome daughter-in-law, old sister, you are blessed, find a good daughter-in-law. And the eldest grandson. ”
The old lady took her daughter-in-law's hand, asked her daughter-in-law to sit beside her, and carefully interrogated her son why he didn't have it. "Yizhou City rebelled, and Zhang Xing assessed the rebellion and died." Xianglan didn't dare to say that Zhang Xing and the imperial army were on the opposite side.
Xianglan didn't specifically say that Xue Shang rebelled, Zhang Xing and Xue Shang were together, and they didn't want to be in the same league and had no choice but to jump off the cliff and die. After saying this, how will you behave in front of your neighbors?
"Mother, I have brought back all the gold and silver treasures that the court rewarded our family. In the future, we will go to the city to buy a house, and you and my father will not work hard. My brother-in-law is also a lieutenant now, mother, Zhang Xing is gone, and I want my daughter-in-law and your grandson. ”
The old lady looked at her well-behaved daughter-in-law and lovely eldest grandson, and her heart gradually calmed down. Xianglan took advantage of the situation to coax the old lady to eat a few bites of rice.
Xianglan brought her package, put it on the bed, opened the package, and there were a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry, as well as a pile of silver.
"Mother, the family wealth that Zhang Xing and I have accumulated over the years is here, mother, you put it away, and the little brother-in-law Zhang Fa and Zhang Wang want to marry one after another. Use this as a dowry. Don't work too hard. ”
Huang Ying's mother widened her eyes, Xianglan said, she recited a Buddha, such a daughter-in-law is one in a thousand.
