The next morning, Ouyang Shu and Fan Hu's second daughter took a salute, got into the car and headed south.

Sometimes, having more friends is a problem, and having fewer is a good thing. Because Ouyang Shu entered Beijing this time, he did not participate in a literary meeting and poetry meeting between the same year, and even after winning the Jinshi and Tanhua, he had no time or interest in participating in these normal entertainments, so he didn't know a few of the same year. Moreover, these days, he has not deliberately befriended anyone. Even if someone took the initiative to show favor, he just responded lightly and did not make friends.

In this way, although there are many people who know him, he doesn't know a few people, and he doesn't have any friends. When it was time to leave Beijing, it seemed very clean, and except for the easy shopkeeper to send him out, he never came to send him off.

Because this road is in a hurry, this road is full of sleep, as long as it is daytime, there is almost no time to rest. Ouyang Shu hadn't driven a car before. In fact, as a southerner, he had never even ridden a horse before entering Beijing, but in the past few days, he has gradually mastered the skill of driving a car. He even smiled and joked to the second daughter sitting in the carriage: If one day we are poor, I will go to the car to earn money, how about it?

On the morning of the eighth day, the group of three finally entered the county boundary of Jixi County, and it seemed that they would arrive at Xiutuo in another hour or two.

Ouyang Shu secretly rejoiced in his heart. He doesn't regard himself as an outsider now, he feels that he is half a Xiutuo person, and when he arrives in Xiutuo, he can be regarded as home, so how can he not like it? Besides, after arriving in Xiutuo, he is only less than a day's drive away from Shezhou, which is another kind of joy. Ouyang Shu was thinking about working harder, working harder, and rushing to Xiutuo as soon as possible to have lunch, but was stopped by Hu Qing'er.

Ouyang Shu stopped the car, got into the carriage, and saw that Hu Qing'er's face was a little pale and his eyes were erratic, and he hurriedly asked with concern: What's the matter? Hu Qing'er is strong in martial arts, and he usually doesn't get sick. But once a person like her gets sick, it must be a serious illness, even if she has good medical skills, it must be tricky.

As soon as the words came out, he also saw at the same time that Hu Qing'er was not sick, but had something on his mind. He suddenly understood that Hu Qing'er was timid about his hometown. When she went to Bianjing this time, she left a book and ran away, and when she came back this time, she was naturally a little apprehensive, because she didn't know what her family's attitude would be.

Seeing that Hu Qing'er didn't speak, Ouyang Shu smiled slightly and said, "Qing'er, what are you afraid of, it should be me who is afraid." Alas, I kidnapped your daughter, and I don't know what your parents will do to me?

Hu Qing'er lowered her head and didn't speak, but Fan Xiaolu said: Are you still afraid of this?

The three of them frolicked for a while, and Hu Qing'er's mood calmed down a lot. In fact, Fan Xiaolu also ran away like her, and Fan Xiaolu's situation is much more serious than her, since Fan Xiaolu is okay now, she really has nothing to worry about. Besides, she also knew her parents' thoughts, she wanted to make do with herself and Ouyang Shu at the beginning, but now that it is a matter of course, they are afraid that it is too late to be happy, so naturally they will not refuse hypocritically.

After grinding for a while, the three of them got back on the road. When it was almost noon, I finally arrived at Xiutuo.

Ouyang Shu drove the carriage to the door of Hu's house and stopped.

Ouyang Shu poked his head out and saw that the door of the Hu family was very quiet, and there was no one. Moreover, the door was actually closed, and he couldn't help but wonder.

After Ouyang Shu and the second daughter got out of the car together, they went to knock on the door. knocked on the old for a long time, but there was no movement inside. Ouyang Shu shook his head secretly, starting to be a little impatient, and when he turned around, he saw that Hu Qing'er was also rarely lowering his head and figuring the corners of his clothes, while Fan Xiaolu was looking around curiously, with a smug look.

At this time, the door creaked and finally opened a crack, and a voice shouted: "Are you finished?" A face of impatience peeked out of the crack in the door.

When the man saw Ouyang Shu, his face changed drastically, his eyes and mouth widened at the same time, and his mouth first let out two inexplicable hohos, and then he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: Come on, people! Professor Li is back, Professor Li is back!

Ouyang Shu was not polite, and walked into the door first. Although Hu Qing'er was embarrassed, she had no choice but to follow up.

At this time, the originally quiet Hu family was completely boiled by the news of Ouyang Shu's return, and the maids, adoptive mothers, housekeepers, and nurses in various courtyards all ran out of smoke.

Ouyang Shu's reputation in the Hu family is very high, and everyone's impression of him can be regarded as excellent. Reading books is respected, and it is rare that a reader like Ouyang Shu is not only not a shelf, but is very willing to share their worries, and when they are mentioned to see a doctor, they have the same attitude as seeing a doctor for the master and the wife. These people all felt a rare respect from Ouyang Shu's attitude. These people are simple-minded, and whoever is good to them will be good to them, and whoever will be bad to them will be even worse to them. Therefore, as soon as everyone heard that Ouyang Shu was back, they all rushed out.

Isn't this the eldest lady?

Yes, it turns out that the eldest lady and Professor Li are really hehe!

Who is the one next to the eldest lady? He also looks very handsome, and he is inseparable from the eldest lady!

Seeing that Ouyang Shu was followed by two people, especially one of them was the eldest lady Hu Qing'er, the group of people who had originally planned to come forward to greet Ouyang Shu stopped and started talking with a smile.

In fact, these people's discussions were not malicious, they were just more interested in Ouyang Shu's affairs. Therefore, Ouyang Shu was not annoyed, but walked along, always wanting everyone to nod lightly.

Hu Qing'er was naturally embarrassed at first, but as she heard more laughter, she didn't hear the sarcasm she had expected, and her expression gradually became calm, so she gradually raised her head. And Fan Xiaolu has been more curious than before since she entered this room, looking around more times than Fang Cai, and she didn't have the consciousness to become the center of everyone's attention, but it was as if she was watching the group of people outside.

At this moment, I suddenly heard an immature voice shouting: Where? Professor!

Ouyang Shu smiled slightly, set his pace, and he heard that this person was Hu Duo. However, listening to this voice, Hu Duo is still a little frizzy, and I don't know if his ADHD is better.

Sure enough, a figure immediately jumped out of the oblique stab, isn't it Hu Duo? Seeing Ouyang Shu, he immediately ran up and down, and when he arrived in front of Ouyang Shu, he was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Hu Qing'er behind Ouyang Shu at a glance, and couldn't help but be stunned: Sister and sister!

At this time, a small light green figure also walked out of the path where Hu Duo had just appeared. When Ouyang Shu saw this little girl, he immediately remembered the first time he saw her almost half a year ago. At that time, she was also wearing this dress, and she was swinging and playing the flute in the garden, but her sudden intrusion caused a misunderstanding. For this reason, he also received a little hand from him.

I haven't seen her for a few months, and the little girl seems to have grown up a lot, and the little girl who was radiant and naughty and cute half a year ago seems to be gone. Instead, there was a little precocious little lady with a calm face. Although she was still so bright-eyed and delicate, Ouyang Shu was sensitive to the changes in her. Moreover, to be honest, Ouyang Shu didn't like this change. He felt that anyone should have an innocent childhood, so that when he reached adulthood and was no longer innocent, he would not be sad about the fleeting nature of childhood, because he at least had memories.
