Chapter 347: Returning to Beijing to Celebrate His Birthday
Guo Lin can't be born and raised, and he is a piece of mustard of the Mu family. Although she never showed it on her face, every time she saw the emptiness under his knees, only Guo Zao had a daughter, it was difficult for her to be happy, and the guilt for Guo Lin began to flood again.
Zheng Rin understood the feelings of his mother-in-law and wife very well, and gave a positive answer: "The old doctor returned to the capital half a month ago, and after hearing about the second brother's illness, he was very happy to treat the second brother. ”
"It should be, it should be, how can the old doctor be able to remotely bump into our predicament." Mu nodded again and again, understanding the old doctor very well. If you can cure the disease, what is it to go to the capital in person.
Guo Mianmian frowned, she wanted to say something, but when she saw that her mother was so happy, she swallowed the words that came to her lips again.
Mu Shi burned his eyebrows and wanted to report the good news to his second son, so he said to the couple, and then put down the hoe and left quickly.
There were only two couples in the yard, Zheng Rin hugged his wife who didn't seem to be very happy and asked, "What's the matter, Ye'er has a problem?" ”
Guo Mianmian nodded and expressed his concerns: "The second brother has been to Yunlai County far away, let him go to the capital thousands of miles away alone or with his second sister-in-law, not to mention that my father and mother are not at ease, even I am not at ease, I am afraid that you will accompany the second brother and them together." ”
Zheng Rin thought that his wife was reluctant, so he couldn't help pinching her face and smiled: "The second brother is my own brother-in-law, and it is nothing to accompany him on a trip to the capital. ”
Guo Mianmian was depressed, and his expression was not open-minded. She is reluctant, she is afraid!
Seeing this, Zheng Rin also frowned. Just about to say something, I suddenly remembered my wife's history, guessed her concerns, and couldn't help but fall silent for a while.
After getting such good news, Guo Lin excitedly let go of the dung bucket, and quickly ran to the old house to ask Zheng Rin for confirmation amid the strange sound of the Mu family.
After confirming that it was correct, Guo Lin couldn't help himself with joy, and thanked Zheng Rin vigorously. Soon, the Liu family also heard the news and came, and the Mu family and the old man Zheng arrived afterwards and began to discuss the matter of leaving for the capital.
The advantage of the second elder is that he is not familiar with the place in the capital, and he hopes that Zheng Rin can find time to accompany the two of them. Liu also euphemistically confessed this benefit, and was afraid of hunting for curiosity in the capital that he had never been to.
Guo Lin knew that it would take a long time to go, and he was not very good at bothering Zheng Rin's brother-in-law, saying that he and Liu were both parents and not children, and they didn't need to be accompanied by anyone if they groped all the way.
Several people argued constantly, and finally Zheng Rin made a final decision, commenting that he was accompanying him, Guo Mianmian also raised his hands in approval, and the grandmother stopped.
Guo Mianmian naturally doesn't want to fight with her husband who is finally reunited, but Tang Yuan'er is still young and can't do without her, and she can't take the risk of taking Tang Yuan'er on the road together, and in the capital, if you can't go, Guo Mianmian doesn't want to step into half a step at all.
Even if you are reluctant in your heart, you can only distinguish the couple again.
The matter of going to the capital was confirmed, and the next time was to discuss the beginning. Zheng Rin proposed: "Now that the weather is cold and hot, it is not a good opportunity to go far away, and we are not in a hurry to do this ten days and half a month, so we will start in mid-April!" ”
It's the end of March, and the sky is really not very solid, the temperature is high and low, and it rains from time to time, and it is not completely impossible to go on the road, because Zheng Rin is reluctant to leave so soon, and wants to stay at home to spend more time with his wife and children.
Unexpectedly, this time it will be longer than the previous few times.
"Okay, good, it's good to go out in mid-April, I'll make it a good day to travel." Mu and the others agreed without hesitation, and their hearts were very guilty about Guo Mianmian and his wife.
Don't talk about a half-son and a half-son, you can treat the half-son as a son, and it is the daughter who lives with the half-son, and the half-son who can not be bothered by the matter or not bothered is good, the truth is also bothering the daughter.
If it weren't for Guo Lin's heir, the Mu family and the others would not have made such a request anyway, they always thought they were sorry for their daughter, and the guilt in their hearts was real.
There is very little time for reunion, and there is no need for Zheng Rin to prompt, after lunch, Guo Mianmian took his things and returned to Zheng's house with the child. Thinking that Zheng Rin would leave in ten or so days, Guo Mianmian couldn't muster up his energy, and wanted to talk several times to go together, but just looking at his daughter in his arms who was waiting to be fed, he could only force himself to let go of this thought.
Like Guo Mianmian, the old couple of the Zheng family knew that their son was going to go out again, thinking that he was going to run a business like in the past, so they persuaded him for a long time. Guo Mianmian couldn't stand it, so he reported the second truth.
Meng Shi and Old Man Zheng didn't say anything on their lips, and they were somewhat or a little worried in their hearts. They are not unreasonable people, and if it is their children and grandchildren who suffer from that disease, they also hope to have such a person to accompany them.
Zheng Rin was reluctant to let his wife and daughter go, reluctant to live such a leisurely day, and in the following days, he didn't go anywhere to accompany the mother and daughter every day, and many of them took the fat group of gray to the mountains to look for game.
Spring is the season of animal breeding, so he did not kill and hunt, and went into the mountains to find some mushrooms or wild vegetables that could not be seen on the periphery for the family to try, and when the vegetables in his vegetable garden had not yet grown, the Zheng family could change the flowers and eat them.
Time passed quickly in a leisurely and sad way, and the day of the opening was confirmed, and it was set for April 28. In view of the fact that Guo Lin and Liu could not ride horses, the speed of the carriage was too slow, and the bumpy road was really abrasive, Zheng Rin and Guo Lin discussed and decided to go to Fucheng by water and take a merchant ship north to the capital.
The Grand Canal runs through the east and west, is the main channel for freight transportation from east to west, and is known as the golden waterway. This golden waterway is discharged into the sea from west to east, Fucheng has direct access to the former capital of the merchant ships, the merchant ships from the Fucheng section of the Grand Canal from the sea to the sea through the sea to the north can go directly to the capital, the center does not need to change ships, it is convenient.
The merchant ships from the Fucheng section to the capital were not every day, and the notice was only issued three days in advance if they could not leave the ship, so Zheng Rin did not confirm whether there were any merchant ships on April 28, so the group had to leave in advance and arrive in Fucheng before the 28th. If you are not lucky enough to have a direct boat, you can also take a boat to the mouth of the sea and then transfer.
From Taoyuan Town to the county seat by carriage, and then from the county seat to Fucheng, it will soon take four days to be at the mercy of time, which means that it will be pulled out on the twenty-third day.
On the night of the 22nd, Guo Mianmian indulged in a scene, pestering Zheng Rin desperately, as if he could cut off the reluctance that could not be dissolved in his heart.
Zheng Rin has changed his previous debauchery, extremely gentle, and his eyes have never left his wife who is tactful and happy under him, and he can't wait to rub her into the flesh and take her away together, and never have to face separation again.
The night was very long, and the night was very short, Guo Mianmian couldn't resist the thick tiredness, and fell asleep in the man's low roar. When she woke up from her sleep, there was no one around her, and the bed she had slept on was cold. Looking at the black inside, she couldn't help but hug her daughter tightly and swallow the tears that slipped to her mouth.
After Zheng Rin left, Guo Mianmian could only cheer up when she took care of her daughter, and at other times she was silently in a daze, or she emptied all the wardrobes and put all the clothes in a new place. If Zheng Rin is at home, he will definitely find his clothes, shoes and socks, everything in a very conspicuous place.
Time passed day by day, Guo Mianmian was finally about to bear the fact that the man went out and would not return in a short time, one day at midnight, she heard the door being pushed open in her half-asleep and half-awake, and when she opened her eyes to take a look, she was horrified to find a tall black shadow standing in front of the bed.
Anyone who sees such a scene at midnight is afraid that their soul will be frightened. Guo Mianmian is no exception, but there have been more horrible things in the past history, and she is very awake and swallows back the cry of the river. Frightened, he didn't expect that there were fat balls and big ashes sleeping in the door, and the people would not sneak into this place quietly.
How did he suddenly find the black shadow too bold, and sure enough, he sat in front of the bed, and stretched out his "claws" in the dark to grab Guo Mianmian, who was pretending to be sleeping. Seeing that the "devil's claw" was about to fall on his face, Guo Mianmian couldn't pretend to be asleep, and suddenly unfolded his eyes and used them to rush straight to the door of the black shadow.
The black shadow reacted very quickly, and when his fist was about to hit the bridge of his nose, he stretched out his other hand and clenched it, and his depressed and simple voice echoed in the quiet room: "Ye'er wants to plot against her husband?" ”
Fumbling to light the oil lamp, the dark room was instantly surrounded by warm light. Guo Mianmian stared intently at the man sitting on the edge of the bed, as if he wanted to see a flower.
At this time, she still couldn't believe that her husband, who was supposed to go to the capital by boat, was sitting in front of her like this, it was indeed like a dream, which made her a little uneasy, afraid that the person would disappear as soon as the morning dawned.
"How, happy stupid?" Zheng Rin stretched out his hand to take the person into his arms, and sighed with satisfaction: "My husband has returned, I don't believe you touch it." ”
As soon as the words fell, the flesh on his waist was "touched" by a slender hand.
"Sizzle, wife, let go, let go!" Zheng Rin gasped, and patted the buttocks of the "culprit": "You shouldn't pinch yourself, what's the use of pinching your husband?" ”
Guo Mianmian, who confirmed that he was not dreaming, blinked, and said in a heartfelt manner: "It hurts to pinch yourself, you are stupid to me!" ”
Zheng Rin: "...... is not stupid, you are really not stupid, you are stupid for your husband!"
"Poof!" Looking at her helpless husband, Guo Mianmian's smiling flowers trembled, and she suddenly threw herself into the man's arms, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around the man's neck and murmured, "It's good that you're back!" ”
As she spoke, her expression changed, and she remembered another, more nervous question: "Why did you return at this time?" Is there something going on the road? My second brother and sister-in-law, have they also returned? ”
Seeing that his wife was so anxious, Zheng Rin, who wanted to "teach and teach" her, had to suppress this thought and replied: "The road is very smooth and there is nothing to do, and the only one who returns is the husband, and the second brother and sister-in-law have already sailed with the merchant ship." ”
Guo Mianmian couldn't figure out what was going on, so Zheng Rin told the detailed story.
That morning, the three of them rushed to the town in the dark, and the sky was bright, and they also hired an ox cart to go to the county seat. After arriving at the county seat, he changed to a carriage and continued to drive to Fucheng, who knew that the carriage would break down halfway.
There was no place to hire a second carriage in front of the village and no store in the back, so the three of them had to rush to Fucheng on foot. Finally, I encountered a passing carriage halfway, and when I arrived at the Fucheng ship port, it was a step late, and the merchant ship that set off for the capital had already left three hours ago.
When Zheng Rin and the others wanted to board another merchant ship and exchange the dock at the mouth of the sea for a merchant ship heading north, Feng Lun's subordinates invited them to a tea room next to the dock.
However, it was said that June coincided with the 60th birthday of Mrs. Feng, who was also Feng Lun's biological mother, and he took a private boat back to Beijing on this day to celebrate his birthday. When waiting for the boat in the tea room, I saw the three of them who were hesitating on the edge of the boat port, and learned that they were also shocked, so he made a favor and took them north together.
