The narrow alley suddenly regained its tranquility, and the palanquin driver, who had been hiding aside, hurriedly went back to report the news after seeing such an ending. Ran An had known about his existence for a long time, but for such a person, he had nothing to say, and there was no need to say it. He is going back to the mansion now, back to the mansion where he has been away for more than half a year, he really wants to see his stepfather soon, the last communication said that Ran Linzong's body is a little uncomfortable, I don't know if it is completely better now? I haven't seen him for half a year, I don't know how his old man's body is? Is it fat or thin? There are also some news he brought back, and he has to be busy reporting to his father-in-law. And his younger siblings, they must have grown a lot taller after half a year.

Ran An suddenly felt that his heart was very urgent, he straightened his clothes and quickly ran towards the place where he had been thinking about it.

As early as two days ago, Ran An had already written to say that he would be back in the near future, so the house had already prepared, as soon as Ran An appeared in the house, the concierge quickly took over the burden on his back, and someone else had already rushed to report to Ran Linzong.

"Is my father-in-law feeling better?" Ran An asked.

"Back to the young master, the old man's body is tough and ruthless. It was a few days ago that the weather was hot and humid, and there was some heat stroke, but now it is all well. Ding Quan said while accompanying Ran An.

"I haven't seen him for so long, and I really miss my father-in-law in my heart!" Ran An said hurriedly as he walked.

"The master also often talks about the young master, and he has been to the door every day for the past few days, and he has even asked the kitchen to prepare the young master's favorite dishes, and he is waiting for the young master to come back." Ding Quan was also full of smiles, but his feet were indeed a little unable to keep up with Ran An's pace.

"Uncle Quan, I'm not unfamiliar with the road here, you still have things to do with you, so you don't need to accompany me. After I say hello to my father-in-law, I will go to visit Uncle Quan again. Ran An said intimately. Ding Quan nodded slightly, "Then the young master walks slowly." Ding Quan retreated, and Ran An let go of his pace even more, and he almost trotted away.

As soon as Ran An entered the door, Ran Linzong received the news, and he stood up from the chair all of a sudden, tidied up his collar for a while, picked up the cuffs for a while, and then pulled his hair together, the joy was overflowing, and even the Fuzi who served him couldn't help but laugh, "Master, you really miss Gongzi An." ”

"Why don't you want to?" Ran Linzong looked out the window, and he hadn't seen that familiar figure on the long corridor.

"It's been like this for a while, why haven't you come yet?" Ran Linzong looked at the empty corridor with some disappointment.

"Master, this young master has just come back, and he must have greeted some people, naturally it is a little slower, you should not be impatient, the young master will definitely rush to you as soon as possible." Fuzi comforted with a smile in his mouth.

"Yes! This child is righteous and respectful, and the people in that door are enough for him to cope with for a while. Although he said this, Ran Linzong still rubbed his hands and looked out from time to time. Suddenly, a galloping figure appeared at the end of the corridor, the figure was getting closer and closer, and it was getting clearer and clearer, until the tall figure appeared in front of Ran Linzong, he was really down-to-earth, it was his righteous son who came back!

Ran An looked at Ran Linzong, his face was full of smiles, and his face, which was obviously darker than when he left, showed white teeth. He seemed to have lost some weight, but he seemed to be stronger, and before Ran Linzong could speak, Ran An knelt down on his knees and bowed, "Father-in-law, the child is back!" ”

"Hurry up, hurry up, this is not a big day, why do you need to do this big gift?" Ran Linzong stepped forward and helped Ran An with both hands, and looked at Ran An from beginning to end with satisfaction, muttering to himself, "Thin, indeed thin." ”

"I haven't seen him for so many days, and my father has lost a lot of weight." Ran An was a little excited.

"Young master, you don't know, for so many days, the master has been talking about you all day long, and you can't sleep very well at night, and now that you're back, the master will definitely be able to sleep well." Fuzi said while busy serving tea and pouring water.

"Father-in-law......" Ran An was a little excited, and tears flashed in her eyes.

"Mouthy." Ran Linzong glanced at Fuzi, and Fuzi hurriedly stuck out his tongue.

"Father-in-law, sit down!" Ran An helped Ran Linzong to sit down, and there was a subtle embarrassment between father and son who hadn't met for a long time and didn't know what to say. However, Fuzi still ignored Ran Linzong's color and said, "Young master, you have a good mouth at noon, the master asked the cook to prepare Luhua chicken a long time ago, and they are all fat." ”

Ran Linzong didn't roll his eyes this time, and looked at Ran An with a smile on his face, "This journey is smooth?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, everything is fine. The child has walked more than a dozen places this time, and he already has a certain grasp in his heart. Along the way, the child also learned about different customs and had some ideas of his own......"

"Don't be in a hurry for this first, you should rest and rest all the way, and you are not busy with business matters. Fuzi is right, the Luhua chicken has long been fat, and the kitchen is estimated to have been stewed, so it's not too late to come and tell me about business after you have eaten and drunk enough to rest. Ran Linzong waved his hand, Ran An looked at him excitedly, his thin face carried the kindness that he could never forget in his life, the fluttering beard hung down on his chest without disorder, his eyes were still bright, and his healthy posture could not show any appearance of this age.

All this made Ran An'an and relieved that his father-in-law was still the same as before.

In the eyes of Ran Linzong, Ran An is a special existence, and this special relationship has been destined from the first moment they met, and it has never been interrupted since. Ran Linzong is very confident in looking at people, and even a little conceited. But his conceit has his capital, at least in Ran An, his growth has not caused him to have the slightest disappointment.

I remember that it was ten years ago, Ran Linzong went out to run errands, and passed by a place one day, because it was late, and he just wanted to find an inn in the local area to stay overnight, but Ran Linzong walked around the village for most of the day and did not find a bright one, just when he wanted to sleep outside for a night, the faint light from a family gave Ran Linzong hope, and he led the horse to the door of the bright house that represented hope.

The courtyard was very dilapidated, and he couldn't see where the gate was by the faint light, so Ran Linzong had no choice but to lead the horse to the door, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the door, and there was a creak in the middle of the night, revealing a young head, with a face full of innocence and horror, a pair of dark eyes looked at Ran Linzong, and asked worriedly, "Who are you looking for?" ”

It was that kind of look that gave Ran Linzong a shock to his heart, he gently bent down and asked in a low voice, "Child, I am passing by, it is just in time to arrive here after dark, my horse is also hungry, my stomach is also thirsty, can I borrow it for a night at your house?" So that I can fill my horse and give me a bowl of water to drink? ”

Ran Linzong's voice was extremely gentle, but the child was still frightened and stood there stunned.

"Where's your family? Can you ask your family to come out for a while? ”

As soon as Ran Linzong said this, the child seemed to be relieved, he didn't speak, and moved to the side hesitantly, leaving a gap in his body, as if he meant to ask Ran Linzong to go in.

In normal times, Ran Linzong must be embarrassed to disturb, but this is an extraordinary period, he can bear to be hungry, but the horse is hungry but can't run, so he had no choice but to walk into the humble house. There was a musty smell in the room that seemed to have been soaked in rainwater, mixed with a strong smell of medicine, and it was obvious that there were patients who needed to take medicine all year round. Just as Ran Linzong turned around curiously, the little boy had already poured him a bowl of water, Ran Linzong looked at it, happily took it and drank it, when he put the bowl on the stove, a bowl of black things next to his hand made him frown. He turned around and asked, "Child, where are your adults?" ”

The little boy's apprehension seemed to disappear somewhat, and he pointed to the inside of the curtain to indicate that it was there. Ran Linzong curiously lifted the door curtain, and under the dim light, there was a person lying on the kang, unkempt and unkempt, unable to see a man or woman, covered with a worn-out quilt that could not be sewn.

"It's ......"

"This is my mother." The little boy finally showed a little calm, he walked in front of Ran Linzong, climbed onto the kang quickly, and slowly fed a bowl of things that he didn't know what it was into the mouth of the relative who didn't know the gender, it seemed that he was feeding a little unsteadily, the person coughed violently, the little boy didn't panic a little, he lifted the person up hard, rubbed violently on his front and back, for a while, the person seemed to stop coughing, and the little boy put him back again, Tuck up the quilt beside him and crawl down again.

The person on the kang made a struggling sound, and the little boy immediately leaned his ear closer, he seemed to reply to that person for a while, and then looked at Ran Linzong and whispered to the person, "Mother, there is a passer-by at home, saying that he wants to spend the night at our house." The woman didn't know what she was saying, the little boy nodded, and Ran Linzong realized that the patient lying on the kang was the child's mother!

After a while, the little boy said, as if he had received an answer from an adult, "My mother said you can live here, but ...... My family is like this, I'm afraid I'm going to wronged you, the big man. The little boy was a little embarrassed, but Ran Linzong was a little distressed, he lowered his head and asked, "What about your father?" ”

This sentence seemed to startle the little boy, he quickly pushed Ran Linzong out of the room, and seemed to stare at Ran Linzong with resentment on his face for a long time, Ran Linzong was very puzzled by his sudden rudeness, and he asked slightly apologetically, "What?" Shouldn't I ask this question? ”
