The patriarch's family made ten dishes to entertain Zhulan and Zhou Shuren, because Zhulan and Zhou Shuren came back in the afternoon, and they didn't buy any good meat for pork, and a table of dishes was either chicken or hare.

Zhulan eats deliciously, most of the days of rushing are spent outdoors fooling around, and there is a real lack of oil and water in the stomach.

After dinner, it was dark after chatting for a while, Zhoujia Village was plagued by wolves last year, and there were more dogs in the village, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went all the way home and listened to the dog barking back.

Back in the courtyard, Zhou Shuren closed the door, Jiang Sheng heard the movement and came out with his clothes on, "Daddy is back, I boiled hot water in the pot, I'll carry it to the house for Daddy." ”

Zhou Shuren has enjoyed the service of his son, but he has never enjoyed the service of his son-in-law, he is not used to it, and waved his hand, "You don't have to be busy, we can just make hot water by ourselves, the hour is not early, you can rest early!" ”

Jiang Sheng didn't dare to disobey his father-in-law's words, "Then my father and mother should also rest early." ”

After Zhulan and Zhou Shuren simply wiped their bodies and washed, the two of them lay on the kang, the room was dark, and Zhulan sighed with emotion, "This reminds me of when I first came, and I really miss it when I live back again!" ”

Zhou Shuren hadn't slept on the hot kang for a long time, and stretched his waist comfortably, "It's still comfortable on the hot kang." ”

As for nostalgia, Zhou Shuren really didn't feel as much as Zhulan.

Zhulan also felt comfortable in the hot quilt, and when she got home, she was relieved, and she was finally able to sleep comfortably, hugging Zhou Shuren's waist, "Sleep." ”

Zhou Shuren responded in a daze, "En." ”

Early the next morning, Xuemei made breakfast, boiled rice porridge, fried a plate of eggs, and boiled six eggs, Xuemei said: "Mother, I don't have my sister-in-law's steamed buns delicious, and I didn't make it, so I have a simple bite of breakfast and eat a good meal in the evening." ”

Zhulan knew that Xuemei was going to the county to buy wine and food, she and Zhou Shuren finally went back to her daughter's house, but her daughter didn't prepare a good meal, Xuemei and her family felt uncomfortable, Zhulan didn't refuse, "Okay, your father and I are waiting for a good meal." ”

Xuemei smiled, she and Jiang Sheng also wanted to do their filial piety, "En." ”

After breakfast, Zhou Shuren drove the carriage, Zhulan didn't sit in the carriage and sat outside with Zhou Shuren, Zhulan leaned on Zhou Shuren's side, "Your skills in driving the carriage are getting better and better." ”

Zhou Shuren said: "I still want to learn to ride a horse, but unfortunately I don't have the opportunity." ”

Zhulan said: "My father can ride a horse, let him teach you when you get home, and teach me in the future when you learn it." ”

The original body can't ride a horse, mainly because the Yang family has no horse to teach, and later the original body got married, so there was no chance to learn to ride a horse.

Zhou Shuren is indeed a rare horse, learning to ride a horse is no less than his mood of learning to drive, ancient horses are comparable to modern cars, the top sycophants are high-end luxury cars, and when there is more money in the future, he will also buy a few more good horses back.

The speed of the carriage was faster than that of the ox cart, and it arrived at Yang's house in less than half an hour.

Sun thought he had seen it wrong, but after a closer look, it was really the girl who came back, "Oh, I said why is there a magpie calling today, it turns out that you are back?" ”

Zhulan helped her mother and said: "I went out of the long house, and when I came back, I just passed by and came to see my father and mother, mother, where is my father?" ”

Sun took his daughter's hand, "Your father can't be idle, and he won't stop when he gets older, isn't this going up the mountain again, wait, you just said, you just came back from a long away?" ”

Zhulan nodded, "Yes, we went to the capital, and we just arrived in Zhoujia Village yesterday, what's wrong with my mother?" ”

Sun clapped his hands, "Oh, your eldest brother just sent you a letter, thinking you are in Pingzhou City!" ”

Zhulan asked, "Mother, is there something wrong at home?" ”

Sun smiled, "It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing, Wu Chun, this kid has made meritorious contributions, he captured thousands of households in the enemy country last winter, and killed a lot of enemy soldiers, this kid has good skills and is protected by the Zheng family, and now he is the lieutenant of the eighth grade, and now he is under the captain of the Zheng family." ”

"It's a big deal, mother, what about the other two nephews?"

Sun smiled, "It's all under Wu Chun's hands, and the three brothers are together, and they're all fine." ”

Zhulan helped her mother sit down, "It's okay, peace is the best news." ”

Sun's heart also fell for more than half a year, "I can also sleep comfortably, your father was afraid that you would be worried, so he specially wrote to you, and now I tell you the same in person." ”

Zhou Shuren asked, "Mother, did Wu Chun only say this and didn't say anything else?" ”

Sun said: "My mother doesn't know how many words, what my mother knows is what your father told, if you want to know something, wait for your father to come back and ask him." ”

Sun knew in her heart that the old man would only tell her good things, and as for what the grandson said, he would not tell her, but she could also see some of the changes in the old man, and the old man was happy, so she didn't care.

Zhulan accompanied her mother and chatted for a while about what happened in Pingzhou, what she saw and heard in the capital, to her mother's family, Zhulan only said that she had bought a house, as for how much she bought, Zhulan didn't say clearly.

Sun sighed in his heart about his son-in-law's ability, and was happy that his daughter would have great blessings in the future, and the children in the family were good, and she would be happy as a mother.

It's almost noon, Zhulan's father Yang Dayong came back, don't look at Yang Dayong's age, his body is very tough.

Seeing Zhulan and Zhou Shuren, Yang Dayong was really happy, his sons were by his side, Yang Dayong didn't worry about it, he was worried about his little daughter, Pingzhou City is a state city, and his life is not necessarily more comfortable than Zhoujia Village.

Zhou Shuren told about what had happened recently, and also talked about what he had seen and heard in the capital, especially about the use of soldiers.

Yang Dayong glanced at his son-in-law a few more times, his son-in-law was so sensitive to the situation, he really became an official one day, he could rest assured, and said in a low voice: "Wu Chun's good news letter, although it did not reveal that he wanted to use soldiers, I also analyzed that Wu Chun had not fought for a long time, and it was estimated that he would use soldiers, and there was no need to make a small fuss." ”

Zhou Shuren admired his father-in-law, "What do you mean by using troops in the northwest?" ”

Yang Dayong nodded, "Although the situation in the northwest is not the most tense, it is the hardest bone, our emperor does not like to kill chickens and monkeys, and prefers to fight tigers to deter, if the northwest wins, the northeast can also stop a little." ”

Zhou Shuren touched his chin, the foreign tribes in the northwest are also the most courageous, the dynasty has been constantly testing for more than ten years, and by the way, he has trained his generals, even if he doesn't fight this year, there will be a big war in a few years.

At the same time, Zhou Shuren was more relieved, he was also afraid that there would be a war in the Northeast, although Pingzhou City was far away from the frontier, but he was also afraid that he would not hold the border and let people kill him.

In a quarter of an hour, Zhulan's two brothers and sisters-in-law came, and Zhulan divided all the gifts she brought, and the hairpins of the two sisters-in-law were immediately brought, which showed that she liked them very much.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren returned to Zhoujia Village when it was almost dark.

Xuemei and her family prepared a meal, except for the fried wild vegetables, which were made by Xuemei, the other pig's trotters, sauce meat, etc. were bought by the restaurant, and Jiang Sheng also bought a pot of good wine.

Zhou Shuren and his son-in-law chatted while drinking, and Zhou Shuren also mentioned more about how his son-in-law got along with the county master, and Weng's son-in-law chatted for a long time before leaving the table.

Zhulan helped her daughter clean up the table, Zhulan looked at Xuemei's belly, Xuemei gave birth in October, Xuemei and Jiang Wang's family were unhappy, and Jiang Wang's family would not come to serve the confinement child.

Zhulan crossed her fingers to count the days, Zhou Shuren will stay in Pingzhou for a while after the township test, she and Zhou Shuren want to go to the capital earlier, naturally they will not wait until the winter to leave, and the winter journey will be even more sinful, so they must leave in November.

What should I do with Xuemei's confinement?

Xuemei saw her mother staring at her belly, "Mother, why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Zhulan touched her daughter's belly, "Mother is thinking about who will serve you as a confinement." ”

Xuemei was also stunned, yes, she fell out with her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law would not serve her, as for her mother, her mother is in Pingzhou, her father and mother have helped her a lot, she can't trouble her mother anymore, "Mother is fine, Jiang Sheng's service is the same, can't I serve my second sister-in-law as a second brother?" ”

Zhulan thought that she really couldn't help, but she could get rid of the Zhou Wang clan and the Zheng clan.

On the second day, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren were about to return to Pingzhou, Zhou Shuren went to the county to find a coachman to catch the car, and Zhulan went to visit Zheng.

Zhulan said to Zheng: "I didn't come over when I came back in the afternoon last afternoon, I went back to my parents' house yesterday, and I just came to see my sister-in-law today, I'm really embarrassed, this is a gift for my sister-in-law, don't dislike it." ”

The Zheng family has seen good things, so there is no need for Zhulan to say that it was brought back from the capital.

Zheng estimated that Yang would come today, "Look at you, you will come and get gifts, it's still too outlandish." ”

Zhulan smiled, chatted with the Zheng family for a while, asked the Zheng family to take care of her daughter, and chatted for a while When Zhou Shuren came back, Zhulan said goodbye.

Zhulan got into the carriage and said goodbye to her daughter, the coachman drove the carriage, and stopped the car violently at the entrance of the village, Zhou Shuren opened the curtain, "What's wrong?" ”
