Jin'an Village is not a wealthy village, and horse-drawn carriages are still relatively rare.

As soon as he entered the village, after a while, before and after the carriage, there were more than a dozen children who were trotting, following behind, and Du Jun also slowed down the speed of the carriage and slowly walked forward.

The woman looking for the child also slowly gathered beside the carriage, looked at the noble Zheng, pointed and muttered, whose lady is this? Why haven't I seen it?

"Sister Osmanthus! Sister Osmanthus! I'm Xiu'e", Zheng shouted excitedly when he saw an acquaintance woman.

"Xiu'e? Are you Xiu'e? Are you the second Ni Xiu'e of the Zheng family? The peasant woman who was called Osmanthus also shouted Zheng excitedly.

After stopping the carriage, Zheng hurriedly got down, grabbed the peasant woman with a face full of disbelief, tears rained down, and she couldn't speak.

The peasant women around also gathered around, staring at the two excited women, and quietly pointing.

"Who is this woman, how does she know Sister-in-law Osmanthus?"

"This is the second daughter of the old man Zheng in the village, and she has been married for more than ten years, isn't this just coming back!"

"Oh! At that time, I hadn't married into Jin'an Village, no wonder I didn't know! ”

"Look at her outfit, this is rich, and she came back!"

It took a while for the two of them to settle down in excitement.

"Xiu'e, after so many years, I haven't seen you come back, you've been okay all these years, look at me asking you, look at your dress, you know that you are doing well, you are blessed!" Aunt Osmanthus stared at Zheng, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, full of blessings to her friends back then.

"I ...... I'm okay, what's wrong with you, I haven't seen you for so many years, you still have the hearty temperament you had back then, and you haven't changed at all. Zheng also asked the other party.

"I'm still like that, I just gave birth to a few unconscious children, you came back this time, why didn't your family come back? Just let you follow the carriage alone, and he can rest assured? ”

"It's okay, don't you still have my girlfriend...... Is the groom following? It's not far, it's going to be there soon", Zheng wanted to greet Du Jun, but when he saw the little girl's clothes, he didn't say anything more.

"Look at my brain, you will definitely go back to your parents' house when you come back so late, I, ah, I won't be annoying. Let my youngest son lead the way in your carriage, after so many years, I'm afraid you have forgotten how to go! He turned his head and greeted the group of children, "Little San, show your Aunt Xiu'e a way to your old uncle Zheng's house." ”

"Hey, I know my mother", as soon as the words fell, a six or seven-year-old child appeared in front of the carriage, with a round little head full of cleverness.

"This is my family's junior, the big name Jin Baosheng, like a leather monkey, there is no place in the village that he doesn't know", seemed to be scolding, but in fact said proudly to the Zheng family.

Zheng took out a delicate purse from his arms and stuffed it to the clever boy, "This is a meeting gift from Aunt Xiu'e, keep it." ”

"Hey, how can you give this little skin monkey."

"It's just a little bit of my aunt's heart, you didn't help me work less back then, why do you treat me as an outsider now?"

"Okay, I'll take care of my junior, thank you Aunt Xiu'e."

Turning his head and instructing, "Send your aunt to Uncle Zheng's house and come back, don't make trouble there, you know?" When it is delivered, I will come back to eat quickly. ”

Bidding farewell to Sister Osmanthus, Zheng and Du Jun, under the leadership of Jin Baosheng, they slowly went on the road and walked to the mother's house in their memory.

The closer he got to home, the tighter Zheng's hands clenched, and he didn't dare to blink his eyes, staring closely at the dilapidated courtyard in front of him.

It was getting late, and I could only vaguely see that the courtyard was not big, and the walls were some years old, some of them had collapsed, and the two gates were closed, so I couldn't see what it looked like inside.

Jin Baosheng trotted all the way to the door, and slapped the courtyard door, "Uncle, aunt and grandmother, my Aunt Xiu'e is back, open the door quickly." ”

After waiting for a while, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the small courtyard, and with a "squeak", two doors were opened from the inside, and an old woman with white hair appeared in front of Du Jun, this should be Zheng's mother, and the original grandmother Zheng Liu.

"Mother!" When Zheng saw Zheng Liu, a gust of wind floated past Du Jun, threw himself into Zheng Liu's arms, and cried loudly.

"Mother's Erni! Mother's Erni! After so many years, I miss my mother, and my mother still thinks that in this life, she will never see my family's Erni again! Zheng Liu's mouth spoke, while slapping Zheng's back vigorously and crying.

Du Jun looked at the Zheng family and his mother, who were crying, and beckoned Jin Baosheng to go home.

Zheng and Zheng Liu cried for a long time before they slowly stopped sobbing, Zheng wiped the corners of his eyes, pointed at Du Jun and said to Zheng Liu: "Mother, this is my eldest daughter, Du Jun." He said to Du Jun again: "This is your grandmother!" ”

"Grandma", Du Jun called people in a regular manner.

"Why is this kid wearing men's clothes?" Zheng Liu looked at the strange Du Jun and asked Zheng.

"Isn't it convenient to drive a horse-drawn carriage? She came all the way in a carriage, and we set off this morning. ”

Zheng explained.

"Then hurry up and enter the courtyard, even if our yard is small, I don't know if this carriage can come in?"

Du Jun looked at the narrow courtyard gate, and it was estimated that he couldn't get in.

Just outside the courtyard, the gifts from the carriage were unloaded.

He led the carriage to a tree by the yard, tied the reins, and took out some forage.

After getting the carriage, Du Jun entered the courtyard, and when he looked at it, there was a row of main houses and a row of side rooms.

Only one room in the main room had a little light, and the other rooms were dim and obviously unlit.

As Zheng walked into the dim room with the oil lamp, a row of dark wardrobes, next to a large bed, and a few stools on the floor.

Simply speaking, you can see how poor this family is.

With the help of the oil lamp, I saw an old man sitting on the edge of the bed, who should be Zheng Dongshun, Zheng's father.

A serious face, full of wrinkles, wearing a half-worn padded jacket full of patches, the original color can no longer be seen.

It's like staring at a stranger, looking at Zheng stubbornly, and he is still holding something similar to a ring ruler in his hand, flattened.

When Zheng saw his father, he paced slowly, stepped forward and shouted, "Dad, I'm back!" ”

With a "snap", the thing similar to a ring ruler was thrown on Zheng's thigh, and the sound was very loud, so that Du Jun, who was behind Zheng, could hear it clearly.

An angry voice rang out in the room.

"You shameless, dare to come back? Isn't it enough to disgrace the Zheng family? You get me out! ”
