Zhinan and Chu Xubai hit it off, put down the wine glass in their hands and were about to go out. Feng Qi grabbed Zhinan on the side and asked, "I haven't seen my uncle and aunt for a long time, isn't it a little rude for us to go empty-handed." ”

In fact, Feng Qi can say this, and he does have some careful thoughts of his own. After all, I didn't know this Chu Xubai, and when I met for the first time, although I told Zhinan that I had known each other since I was a child.

But after all, in this southern city, as he just said, there is no place to watch and play around, and there are no living people within a radius of hundreds of miles, and neighbors know each other. A fire that year must have been a major event known to every household.

Zhinan was very interested, and her mind was almost going to fly to Chu's house with Chu Xubai now. She was so curious, what happened to her childhood for so many years was a knot in her heart.

Feng Qi pulled the interested Zhinan aside and whispered to her, "We should also be careful when we go with them, after all, Xiwen's reputation has been the name of the Oiran of the Heart Pavilion for so many years, how many men and women, men, women and children want to see your face, and this Chu Xubai does not look like a closed person." When you said Xiwen's name, he didn't show much surprise or curiosity. This shows that this person's city is very unusual. ”

Zhinan began to listen to Feng Qi's words and felt that he had some small belly chicken intestines, but after carefully reviewing it, he felt that what Feng Qi said was reasonable.

She walked up to Chu Xubai and said to him: "Brother Xu Bai, what the leader of Fengqi said just now is not unreasonable, I haven't visited the door for so long, and it really seems rude to go empty-handed." ”

Chu Xubai didn't care much, he waved his hand directly, and said to Zhinan, "No, if Sister Xi'er really wants to bring something to my parents, it's better to take two jars of good wine directly in my shop." My parents are also very drinkers, and it will be nice to see you come with such a gift. ”

Zhinan is a little embarrassed, he is now living in this inn, and he has eaten a meal of wine for nothing today. They all say that they eat other people's soft mouths and take other people's hands short. She always felt that she owed something to Chu Xubai, and Feng Qi also had the same idea.

But since all the words have been said about this, there are indeed few shops in this Nancheng except for his house, and Zhinan has no choice but to be cheeky and take the two jars of good wine on the wine shelf. followed Feng Qi and Chu Xubai out.

Feng Qi looked at Zhinan's soft and weak body, and he was carrying two jars of wine jars by himself, he hurriedly greeted him and took the wine in Zhinan's hand. looked at Chu Xubai and asked, "Brother Xubai, how do we need to get over?" ”

"My house is not far from here, why don't we walk and walk, look at the road, Sister Xi'er and see if she can remember something, please come."

Zhinan nodded, and the three of them walked towards Chu Xubai's house with two jars of wine in their arms.

The weather in early autumn is always so comfortable, and the warm autumn breeze blew lightly on Zhinan's face, blowing away the slightly messy hair that blocked her face. The leaves on both sides of the surrounding path have begun to turn slightly yellow, and the branches of the leaves have become a little red. Everywhere there is a fruitful autumn fruit, and the air is mixed with the ripe melons and fruits, and the sweet smell.

Chu Xubai took Zhinan and Fengqi to walk through the red bricks and green tiled houses, and after bypassing the unknown number of paths, he finally stopped at the door of a house.

Zhinan raised his head and looked at the wooden plaque at the door, with a red pen, vigorously and vigorously writing Chu House, these two big characters.

Presumably this is Chu Xubai's home.

Zhinan and Fengqi stood at the door and tidied up their appearance. Chu Xubai is familiar with the road, so he can be regarded as returning to his home. Although he doesn't live with his parents now, because he is in the tavern inn business, he has already moved to the house near the store to live.

But he is honest and filial, and he will always go home from time to time to see his father and mother, and bring them two jars of good wine brewed in the store.

Chu Xubai pushed the door of the Chu Mansion open, shouting, "Father! Mother! Come out quickly! Look who I brought back! ”

Chu's father and Chu's mother were just finishing lunch at home at this time, and they were cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks. Hearing that his son's voice seemed to come from the door, he hurriedly put down the things in his hand, wiped the water on his apron, and hurriedly ran out to greet Chu Xubai.

As soon as Chu's mother came out of the house, she saw Zhinan standing behind Chu Xubai. I don't know why, Mother Chu skipped Chu Xubai directly, walked towards Zhinan, and hugged Zhinan in her arms.

"Xi'er, is that you? Xi'er! Chu Mu asked while holding Zhinan with a sob.

Mother Chu's age is almost to the age of the sixtieth birthday, and her body that used to be tall has already become rickety. Rough calluses and wrinkles on the face and old hands. Zhinan was stunned in place, but this familiar hug, this familiar feeling, made her involuntary tears flow down for some reason.

Chu Xubai stood aside, looked at the scene of the two embracing each other, and said to Chu's mother, "Mother, you are old now, don't be so emotionally fluctuating, I just shouted at the door, asking you and father to see who I brought back." ”

"Whoa!" He pointed to Zhinan, and at this time, Father Chu heard the movement outside, and also followed, and said, "This girl was originally a guest staying in my inn, and our shopkeeper said that this girl is very good at eating and drinking, and she originally drank with me at noon." Unexpectedly, this chat was actually the old friend, and the girl also wanted to know something about what happened to her family before, and thought that she would be very happy to bring her mother back, so I brought the two of them from the inn. ”

"Two?" Chu Mu let go of Zhinan and asked curiously. Chu Xubai pointed in the direction of the door, and Chu's mother saw Feng Qi, who was standing in place with two jars of wine.

Chu Mu staggered, walked to Feng Qi's side, and walked into the door with his hand. While looking at him in large numbers, he patted his hand and said, "What a good young man, he looks talented, and he looks dignified and wears a military uniform, he must be the child of a big official in Kyoto." ”

Fengqi scratched his head embarrassedly and said modestly, "No, no." ”
