Chapter 244: What is Home?
Shen Congjun and his wife have been married for several years, and they have not had a son and a half daughter. Suddenly, a ten-year-old sister came, and to be honest, Shen Congjun didn't know how to raise it. If you don't know how to raise a child, treat it like an adult. Didn't you start wandering alone at such an age?
If you want to be pretty, you must be filial.
Shen Congjun and Shen Congxin, the two brothers and sisters, are different and eye-catching. Shen Congjun's wife, Shen, was a little embarrassed to step forward. However, she still had to bite the bullet and ask Shen Congjun straight to the point: "Why did your father-in-law's coffin be sent back to Taikang?"
I went thousands of miles, basically, and I didn't come back for three years. Three years is not a short time, but if you are not careful, you may miss a lot. Shen Congjun made this decision, naturally thinking about it, and then he didn't care much about it: "He is separated from my mother and married to the Jun family, so he will not be allowed to enter the ancestral grave of the Huo family." Since the two of them are Taikang people, they can be sent over together. ”
The two of them refer to their parents.
Daddy was said in such a tone, and Shen Congxin felt uncomfortable. However, apart from this brother, she has nothing to rely on, and if she is dissatisfied, she has to keep it. An irrepressible sadness rippled from the bottom of the little girl's heart. But the little girl didn't cry, just got up silently and gave way to her sister-in-law. brought a small stool and sat under Shen Congjun.
Just now, Shen Congjun told her about Taikang, and she hadn't finished talking about it yet.
Shen didn't sit down, but said, "My father said that the emperor will definitely send troops again." ”
Military generals are different from civil servants.
If you miss a war, you won't know when the next war will happen. There are so many opportunities that can only be found now. Therefore, Shen said his father's meaning: "It's true that my father-in-law is from Taikang, but he doesn't know where his own clan is, so why should he go back?" It is better to re-establish the ancestral hall in Liaodong and take root in Liaodong. ”
Shen Congjun was silent.
His mother was sent to Liaodong, and his father's family was born from slavery. What my wife said was not for a good reason. It's just that he has almost no desires now. Whether it's officialdom or family business, he has no interest.
The only remaining strength is probably to defend the homeland.
The emperor intends to send troops, and Shen Congjun has also heard of it slightly. However, this time the troops were sent only for deterrence and took the initiative to attack. He didn't want to fight such a battle, he didn't want to take such a feat.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his sister who was still sitting on a low stool, still holding her back, and Shen Congjun asked, "Xin'er, what do you mean?" ”
Shen Congxin raised his head, obviously confused for a moment, and then replied: "If it is not troublesome, send it to Taikang, my father and mother have always wanted to go back." ”
Shen Congjun raised his eyebrows.
It's too straightforward until it's a little silly. Although they haven't been together for a long time, Shen Congjun doesn't think this sister is stupid. Now that he is at home, there is nothing else to do, and Shen Congjun has the idea of teasing.
"Your sister-in-law, you just persuaded me to open a shrine in Liaodong, didn't you hear?"
Shen Congxin said: "Back to my eldest brother, my ears are so good that I can hear." But I also heard it, and my eldest brother asked me what I meant. What I mean is what I mean, not what my sister-in-law means. ”
That's true, too.
But right......
"In the next few years, you will have to live with us, not afraid that your sister-in-law will treat you slowly because of this?"
"How my sister-in-law treats me is not me, but how my eldest brother treats me."
That's true.
Shen Congjun pointed out the facts: "My mother died because of your mother, I will treat you like nothing." From the degree of food and clothing, you must have felt it yourself. I will raise you, I will not starve you, and the more will be gone. As a woman, shouldn't you provide for your sister-in-law? ”
Shen glanced at the couple from his heart, hesitating to tell the truth. Seeing this, Shen Congjun kicked his shoes and sat cross-legged on the kang, with a posture that you are slowly inking, and I am not in a hurry.
The hot kang is warmer than a small bench.
"Hey......" Shen Congxin sighed and said, "My mother said that I also have a sister of the same mother, and the family is still very good." ”
You don't support me, someone else supports me.
Shen Congjun was stunned for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said to Shen Congxin: "It's cold on the ground, come up and sit." For the sake of the same dad, I'll teach you something. Life-saving hole cards, don't show too early. ”
After speaking, Shen Congjun said to his wife: "You heard, the two of them are also going back to Taikang." If I can find a clan for them, I'm not opposed to casually entering the clan or something. Okay, go get ready. Before the New Year's Festival, return to Taikang. ”
The distance of three or four thousand miles is not a place that can be reached by lifting your legs, but it may be a place that you can't reach in a lifetime.
Shen exited the conservatory, his chest tight.
After taking a few deep breaths of cold air, the boredom was removed by three points. Hey, forget it, in the past few years, I don't know how many times I have indulged my husband, not this time.
In the cold wind, Gu Yao stood for a quarter of an hour, and if it weren't for Zheng Zhi's voice, she would still be standing there.
"It's time to go home."
"Okay."
The conversation between Gu Yao's father and daughter avoided many people, but not Zheng Zhi. Although Zheng Zhi didn't understand it, he knew that Gu Yao's biological mother had been living well before, and it was Shen Congjun's stepmother.
Now, it's really gone.
Zheng Zhi didn't know what made his wife uncomfortable, was it the death of his biological mother or the worry about his father-in-law's body? With Gu Yao's response, he did not shy away from wrapping Gu Yao in his cloak. just blocked the cold wind, protected his wife and walked forward slowly, leaving the Gu family behind step by step.
After returning home, Gu Yao was busy taking care of the family business, and Zheng Zhi went out for three days in a row. On this day, news came from the Gu family, and Gu Tongzhi began to go to the office.
Gu Yao showed the only shallow smile in many days.
At this time, the subordinates of Wutong Garden came to report: "The third master is back." ”
Gu Yao hurriedly said to the Jiang family: "Mother, I'll go back first." ”
Jiang smiled: "If you're not busy, Zhi'er will come over." ”
In the past, the first thing Zheng Zhi did when he returned home was to wash and change his clothes before coming to see his parents again. Gu Yao didn't believe this, but seeing that her mother-in-law was sure, she didn't move.
As Jiang expected, Zheng Zhi arrived soon, still wearing the clothes he had gone out in the morning.
Zheng Zhi entered the door, smiled at Gu Yao first, and then saluted: "Mother." ”
Gu Yao blamed him for not giving his mother-in-law a salute first, and pouted.
Fortunately, the Jiang family didn't mind, and asked directly: "But it's all arranged?" ”
Zheng Zhi bowed his head and said, "It's all bought." Two carts of commonly used medicinal materials and ten carts of new grains are ready. ”
Although there are not many, these are all bought by the Jiang family with the private houses that they have saved with great difficulty, and they want to do their best for the soldiers of the Xuan Mansion.
When Gu Yao heard this, he asked Zheng Zhi, "Where did you get the money to buy these things?" ”
Jiang pursed his lips and smiled, Zheng Zhi glared at Gu Yao hatefully, and Gu Yao said aggrievedly: "What are you doing staring at me!" You went out this morning and didn't get any money from me! ”
The more he explained, the more troublesome it became, directly exposing Zheng Zhi's tragic realm of having no silver at hand.
Seeing that his son's face was about to turn red, Jiang immediately came to the rescue: "It was the silver I gave, and I also asked me to buy the things." The day after tomorrow, Master Hou and I will leave for Xuanfu. In the future, you little husband and wife will live a good life, and you will take care of Cong'er for me. ”
"Why did my mother suddenly want to go to Xuanfu with my father?"
Jiang looked at Gu Yao and said, "Didn't you say that?" Where Zhi'er is, your home is there. Then, where Master Hou is, my home will be there. ”
