Chapter 334: Hometown and Old People
"Daddy, kid, we're back, we're finally back......" Wu took Bai Chuanbai's hand tightly and choked up, "Finally back......"
"Yes, I finally came back, in the past five years, every night in my dream, I dreamed that I was working in the Shili Pufu Mountains, but when I woke up, I found that it was not, and my heart has been empty. Now it's finally back...... It's finally back......" Shirakawa Kashiwa, a rough man, couldn't help but use the back of his hand to get his eyes.
Bai Shao stood on the wheel, shook her head with a smile, and just wanted to jump off the carriage, she saw Han Lian jumping off the second carriage quickly, running in front of her, and stretching out her hand to take Bai Shao off the carriage.
"No, in fact, I can get off the carriage without being picked up." Bai Shao waved her hand, signaling her to take two steps back, and then squatted down, supported herself with one hand on the wheel, jumped on both legs, and the whole person fell to the ground steadily.
"Well, it's more stable than you." Bai Shao clapped her hands, looking at the appearance of the two maids' eyes about to stare out, and couldn't help laughing.
Perhaps it was because her laughter was too cheerful, or perhaps her laughter was too crisp, but in any case it attracted the attention of the people next door, and soon the door of the next door was opened, and a young man stuck out his head and glanced here unintentionally.
At first, he looked at Bai Shao, but he only thought that it was an extremely beautiful girl, and he didn't care much. When his eyes fell on the Wu family and Bai Chuanbai, he became excited, pushed open the door, and shouted at the Wu family and Bai Chuanbai, "Third Uncle Bai, Third Aunt Bai." β
"Hey......" Wu hurriedly turned his head, looked at the young man carefully, and exclaimed tentatively, "Is it...... Hou Yu? β
"It's me, third uncle and third aunt." Hou Yu ran over with the hem of her clothes in surprise, and said happily, "Third aunt, have you come back from Yanjing?" That one...... What about white peony? β
"Shao'er, Shao'er is there." Wu pointed to Bai Shao, who was standing aside.
Hou Yu hurriedly turned his head and found that this was the beautiful girl he had just seen for the first time, so he couldn't help but open his mouth wide, stunned in place, and stammered after a long time, "Shao'er...... Peony becomes ...... It's pretty......"
"Brother Hou Yu, you have also become handsome." Bai Shao grinned at him, then took the key to the White Mansion Gate from the Wu family, took two steps forward, and opened the Mansion Gate.
Because I haven't lived there for a long time, as soon as I open the door, there is a smell of decay.
Bai Shao covered her mouth and nose, frowned and shouted, "Daddy, the weeds in this yard are going to flood people, and we can pick up some of them today." β
"No, no...... Third uncle, third aunt, you go to live in the Hou Mansion first, the yard was bought by my father and the second uncle, and now it is the courtyard of the Hou family, you go in and live, and when the Bai Mansion is cleaned up, you will come back. Hou Yu hurriedly said.
"No need, there are a lot of us, and we can clean up quickly." Wu originally wanted to agree, but after thinking about it for a while, he still declined, "Xiaoyu, my aunt has just come back, and there is nothing in the house, so I won't invite you in for tea, and when the house is cleaned up, your third uncle and third aunt will invite your father and your second uncle to dinner." β
"This ......" Hou Yu wanted to persuade a few more words, but seeing that Wu and Bai Chuanbai both rolled up their sleeves and looked like they were about to go in to cut weeds, he sighed and went back to Hou's mansion to get a few iron sickles made by Second Uncle Hou, "Uncle, use this, I will also help you together." β
It is said that there are many people and great strength, Bai Shao's family of three, plus Hou Yu, two maids, and Zhao Long, a total of seven people, but it took tea time to clean up the weeds in the yard.
Because it was still early, and it wasn't even time to have lunch, Bai Shao pulled a group of people to clean up the house, and threw out the moldy furniture.
At this time, the second uncle Hou and Uncle Hou, who were busy outside, also came back, and the relationship between the two families was good at the beginning, but now they are reunited after a long absence, and they are happy to eat together.
Second Uncle Hou patted his chest and said, "Let's go, let's go to Fujingtang for dinner, now the second uncle is also a rich man, thanks to Shao'er who persuaded me to come to Xieyang County, my iron-striking business is getting better and better, and now the shop has expanded to six rooms, and I have invited several blacksmiths, now your second uncle can earn dozens of taels of silver a month, and now Xiao Shao'er is easy to come back, and the second uncle wants to invite Xiao Shao'er to the best place to eat." β
After that, he directly pulled everyone to Fujing Hall to sit.
Bai Shao couldn't refuse, and she also wanted to see what was going on in Fujingtang, so she agreed.
Five years have passed, and Zhao Hu's appearance is a little different from the original - he has grown a beard, and the color of his clothes has become more stable.
Because he has become the shopkeeper of Fujingtang, he has long stopped doing a lot of errands, but he still often walks around Fujingtang, and when he meets a young man who can't serve food, he will reprimand him for a sentence or two.
When he saw Second Uncle Hou, because the Hou family had gradually started in Xieyang County in the past two years, Zhao Hu took the initiative to lead him to the big table very enthusiastically, and said with a smile, "Second Master Hou has no time to come to Fujingtang, come on, please take a seat." β
"Lao Zhao, I invited my third brother Bai's family to dinner today, I thought we would never see each other in our lives, but I didn't expect to see ...... again" Second Uncle Hou was a little incoherent happily, "Anyway, no matter what, you can get me a table of dishes, let me entertain my third brother and sister-in-law, and my little niece." β
Only then did Zhao Hu notice the other people sitting on the sideβa couple with somewhat familiar faces, a young woman who seemed to be dressed casually but had a noble air all over her body, in addition to two women who looked like maids, and another person......
"Big brother?" Zhao Hu saw Zhao Long, his body was shocked, and he subconsciously shouted.
Zhao Long glanced at him and turned his head back.
Zhao Hu was a little excited, but this excitement was not directed at Zhao Long, but at Zhao Long's master back then, the little girl who had always felt guilty, Bai Shao.
Regarding the fact that Fujingtang in Xieyang County is just a branch, and the various recipes given by Bai Peony every year are actually used by Fujingtang in all major places, but Bai Shao only got the income of Fujingtang in Xieyang County, he had the heart to make it clear before Bai Shao left, but when he thought that Bai Shao would naturally know when he arrived in Yanjing, he couldn't say it again.
It was a difficult thing to admit deception, so until Bai Shao left Xieyang County, he didn't say anything and explained everything clearly.
By the second year, Zhao Hu had no hope for the new formula, after all, he deceived Bai Shao and gave her so many benefits.
But Fang Zi came truthfully, and while he was excited, his guilt deepened.
In the past five years, whenever a new recipe arrives and Fujingtang is thriving, he will feel more and more guilty about Bai Shao, and even has the heart to make up for her loss, but unfortunately he can't find Bai Shao's person, so he can only hide the guilt in his heart.
Now, Zhao Long is back, does it mean that the little girl who he was thinking about and guilty about is also back?
"Big brother......" Zhao Hu shouted excitedly, "Big brother, do you know where Second Miss Bai is?" Did You Know? β
Zhao Long glanced at him a little strangely, and said in his heart, isn't the second girl Bai here, but after thinking about it, if he hadn't been with Bai Chuanbai and his wife all these years and never left, maybe he couldn't help but come, that little girl had transformed so amazingly back then.
However, because the relationship between the two has not been very good, Zhao Long didn't think about mentioning Zhao Hu at all, not only that, but he also lowered his head directly and turned a blind eye to Zhao Hu's inquiry.
Uncle Hou, who was sitting, heard the meaning of Zhao Hu's words, and had the intention of selling Zhao Hu, so he reminded him and said, "Shopkeeper Zhao, the person you are looking for is far away in the sky and close in front of you." β
Zhao Hu glanced at the crowd with a surprised face, and finally fixed on the casually dressed woman who was full of luxury, blinked, and said softly in disbelief, "This is...... White...... White Second Girl? β
Bai Shao raised her eyelids, glanced at him funny, her lips opened slightly, and she said crisply, "Long time no see, shopkeeper Zhao." β
Zhao Hu really confirmed it this time, and hurriedly shook Bai Shao, and said truthfully what he did back then, "I'm sorry for the second girl Bai, I gave the girl too much money back then, and now with the passage of time, I feel more and more guilty in my heart, but fortunately, the second girl Bai is back, and I can make up for the girl......"
"Make amends?" Bai Shao raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Actually, you don't have to make up for me, because ......", a better user experience.
