Chapter Ninety-Three: Old Knowledge

"It's all dead...... Chen Shuangchuan heard the news of Chen Shiyou Yang for the first time. I was stunned for a moment, and I always felt that I could still remember their appearance very clearly, as if I could still hear their voices, but suddenly I said that I was dead, just like a dream, and I couldn't believe it.

"Renshen hit King Lianjiang that year, and it was very chaotic, and even the corpse capital could not be brought back......" Chen Caichun also choked up, and suddenly the two sisters could only hug their heads and cry.

No matter what, it was also extremely happy to see Chen Caichun and Chen Shuang again, but the death of Chen Shiyou and his wife gave her a big blow, for fear that Chen Caichun would suddenly disappear, and she had to get up several times a night to see if Chen Caichun was still there, and it lasted for several days before she slowly relaxed her heart.

As soon as he spoke, he always felt that he couldn't finish talking, Chen Caichun had a hot temperament, and often talked back to Yang, and he was afraid that he would always wait for Chen Shiyou at the intersection before he dared to go home. Divide Chen Caichun one by two......

When I was a child, what the two sisters said was happy, but He Jinbao listened to it with relish, although the days were hard, they were also living happily, and they always felt that they were much better than the He family.

In that miscarriage, Chen Caichun was bent on escaping from the Yang family, he had never been conditioned at all, he had a lot of problems, his body was very weak, and he saw Chen Shuang's peace in one breath, it seemed that he had a wish, his spirit was sad, his eyes were gray, and he looked vaguely dead.

Chen Shuangchuan was taken aback, and asked the doctor quietly, only to know that Chen Caichun's heart disease was difficult to treat, and if she hadn't quickly ignited her sense of survival, the gods would be difficult to save.

Chen Shuangchuan didn't have any way, and he didn't dare to show it in front of him, so he could only pretend to be casual and accompany Chen Caichun all day long, but he found that Chen Caichun seemed to be a special child, so he often brought He Ruyu and He Jue over and let them let go of playing.

Looking at these two children day by day, listening to their children's words, Chen Caichun gradually smiled a little. The more gentle the eyes, once I saw Chen Shuang sewing the hat for them, I couldn't help but take a few stitches, caressing the stitches, and suddenly tears came down, and muttered: "I have also sewn, but my child has never been able to wear it." ”

Chen Shuangchuan also felt that she wanted to cry, and said with a reluctant smile: "Third sister, don't think about it anymore, these two children still need you to help me bring them." ”

He Jue was already learning to speak, Chen Shuangchuan specially taught him to call him aunt, seeing that Chen Caichun was holding that hat with a red color that was very conspicuous, he wanted to, grabbed Chen Caichun's fingers and kept calling: "Auntie, aunt......"

He Ruyu is the best with He Jue, seeing that he has learned to speak, he hurriedly pointed to himself and kept saying: "Auntie, aunt, He Jue is good, call aunt!" ”

He Jue thought about asking for that hat unyieldingly, and didn't pay attention to He Ruyu's little aunt at all, and the little girl was quite discouraged and pinched He Jue's palm, and said very old-fashionedly: "I really hurt you in vain!" ”

This time, even Chen Caichun couldn't help laughing. said to Chen Shuangchuan: "It's exactly the same as when you were a child." ”

Afraid that Chen Caichun would have no worries, Chen Shuangchuan specially and solemnly entrusted the two children to Chen Caichun to take care of, and finally watched her slowly gain some brilliance and gradually recover.

At this time, the matter of repairing the road also had a result, Guo Wuyi agreed that He Jinbao pulled the recruits out to do labor, and Ding Xiancheng persuaded several businessmen to donate some silver, although it was not enough to repair the whole road, but it was barely able to start work, how much could be repaired, He Jinbao immediately got busy.

Chen Shuang didn't have much space, although the cotton seed was brought back, after all, it was also something many years ago, and the preservation was not very good, it was rotten a lot, and I didn't know if it could be used, so I could only carefully select it.

After asking Ding County, I learned that Duqiao County was a little special.

This island was not so big originally, and most of the fields were slowly reclaimed from the sea, and the land was barren and salty, and the yield was very small, and it could not support people. Most of the people made a living by fishing, and many of them escaped and died during the war, and except for a few fertile fields, the rest of the fields were basically deserted.

In order to reward the people for farming, Duqiao County has issued a rule, whoever clears the land belongs to whomever owns. You don't have to pay extra money to buy it, but if you don't farm for five years, it will return to the name of the government, which is very different from other places.

In terms of fields, Chen Shuangchuan really took a fancy to a piece, on the edge of the hill, not far from the county government, the terrain is high, the sun is enough, and it is just right to build a small Zhuangzi.

After discussing with He Jinbao, Chen Shuangchuan felt that it was better to buy it, now that there are more people in the family, and the house of the official office cannot be vacated, Chen Caichun is still squeezing with He Ruyu, buying a Zhuangzi and planting some melons and fruits to eat for yourself, it is good to be a place to settle. It's just that I don't know how long He Jinbao will serve in Duqiao County, and he will move away when the time comes.

Chen Shuangchuan thought about it again and again, but he still couldn't stand the cheap land here, so he planned to buy it ruthlessly.

When telling people, He Jinbao didn't care much, just said that she was happy, but Chen Caichun had some doubts when he heard it, so he specially avoided people and quietly came to ask Chen Shuangxia. "You said that you paid for this Zhuangzi...... The brother-in-law looks good though. But if you are so careful, I am afraid that if there is a case, it will make you husband and wife suspicious. ”

"The Zhuangzi here is cheap, and I don't need the money of the public school, I bought it, and naturally I got the title deed in my name, is it wrong?" Chen Shuang was puzzled, and asked a little strangely.

In these years, they are still based on their husbands, and except for the dowry brought in, there is generally no reason for wives to buy property privately. He Jinbao doesn't care much, but the future is not clear, if you think about it, Chen Shuangchuan will be easily criticized for doing this.

It's not that Chen Shuangchuan didn't think about this possibility, Chen Caichun is right, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, these times, He Jinbao looks fine, but no one can guarantee that he will be good until the future, although Chen Shuangchuan wants to live a good life with him, but if he really can't get by, then he has to leave a way back for himself.

Because the Yang family is picky, Chen Shuangchuan is the most often at home to get along with her, and he has developed this kind of cautious character since he was a child, which is good, but he is so thoughtful, he feels a little distressed just by looking at it. Chen Caichun didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only take Chen Shuangchuan's hand like when he was a child, and said slowly: "It will be fine in the future, it will be fine in the future!" ”

Although there is a rule that whoever opens up the wasteland will belong to whom, Chen Shuangchuan is thinking about building Zhuangzi, in order to be safe, or spend money to buy that piece of land, and the Yamen has done all these land deed documents, naturally the same as Shunxinfang, signed by Chen Shuangchuan's name.

However, the money is not enough after all, Chen Shuangchuan just circled the land first, turned over a few pieces of land, and the rest can only be built slowly when the hand is sufficient.

This year has been very harmonious for Chen Shuangchuan, He Jue and He Ruyu are getting bigger and bigger, Chen Caichun's body is gradually improving, and he is also in harmony with He Jinbao, and he is occasionally a little intimate.

Because of the release, this year is naturally not as lively as the capital, but there is also a lot less entertainment, and the family can get together leisurely. Chen Shuangchuan and Chen Caichun even made countless seafood, which attracted He Jue and He Ruyu to salivate, and they unconsciously ate too much.

As a result, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they had stomach trouble together, which made the family busy for a while, and they felt good and funny, is this the reincarnation of evil ghosts, how is it like never eating good.

The white porridge and green vegetables made the two gluttonous ghosts light for a while, He Ruyu finally couldn't help it, and pulled Chen Shuang down, even if it was to give some side dishes, He Jue also opened his two black eyes, and begged pitifully together.

Chen Shuangchuan had no choice but to respond, and the two small ones had to be asked inch by inch, which must be the kind that Chunhong bought last time.

The small jar had already been eaten up, and Chen Shuangchuan also wanted to buy some vegetable seeds and wait for the spring to be planted, so he handed over the small one to Chen Caichun and took Chunhong to the street by himself.

Duqiao County is remote, the market is only once a month, and there are few things, and the people who come and go crowd this small street to half full, but it is already a rare liveliness in this county.

After walking around, I found some green rapeseeds, and the types were even less, Chen Shuangchuan felt a little dissatisfied, but there was no way, so I could only buy it, and when I paid for it, Chen Shuangchuan was stunned, stopped obviously, and said with some doubts: "Just now, I seemed to see Qiulan." ”

"Mrs. is dazzled, Qiulan is in the capital, how can she go shopping here?" Chunhong pursed her lips and smiled, thought about it, and suddenly said, "Speaking of Qiulan, I remembered that the proprietress in the shop where I bought vegetables last time was really a little similar to her, no wonder I thought she was a little kind at the time." ”

Qiulan is a girl who works in Shunxinfang, Chunhong is sold to the He family, although she has seen it a few times, Chunhong has never paid much attention, so she waited for Chen Shuang to mention her before she remembered to say this. Chen Shuangchuan shook her head, she left Qiulan because she looked similar to Chunyan, it is already rare to have two similar people in this world without relatives and no reason, how can there be such a coincidence of a third person? Chen Shuang didn't believe it.

It's just that...... The proprietress in her twenties can cook small dishes in her hometown, which looks a little similar to Qiulan, Chen Shuangchuan only has one name in her heart, Chunyan, if she is her, she will naturally make the side dishes that Sister-in-law Zhou is good at, if she is naturally very similar to Qiulan, if it is her......

Hurriedly asked Chunhong to take it to the small vegetable shop, but saw that the door was closed, and it seemed that it had not opened today.

I inquired about a mother-in-law on the side, and the mother-in-law turned back quite suspiciously: "It's still open just now, it won't be something, go out." ”

Unable to find anyone, Chen Shuangchuan had no choice but to walk back, but suddenly heard some movement in the alley behind, and glanced over there, a young woman was hiding inside, carefully looking out.

Sure enough, it's Chunyan!

No one thought that they would meet again in such a situation, whether it was Chen Shuangchuan or Chunyan, they were stunned all of a sudden, and they were speechless for a while.

Chunhong was still thinking about Qiulan, looked at Chunyan carefully for a while, and sighed: "It's so similar, why didn't I remember it last time?" ”

After Chunhong's interruption, everyone came back to their senses, Chunyan smiled reluctantly and said, "Grandma come to my house to sit down." ”

Chunyan's house is in this small alley, but it is not a few steps away, the style of the courtyard, there are several households together, and it is convenient to open a door to enter from the side. The house is also two rooms in the front and back, the furniture is still new, the walls are also recently pink and white, and there are several places with red happy words. Looking at Chunyan as a woman, she wrapped her hair in a green cloth scarf, and simply wore one or two small pearl hairpins.

Chen Shuangchuan didn't know how to speak, and was silent for a long time before asking: "You...... How are you doing? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

When Chunyan was born to the He family, she followed Chen Shuangchuan, her father and mother did not move with the He family, and still stayed to watch Zhuangzi, and then the situation became more and more chaotic, and Chunyan's father and mother also moved their minds, thinking of packing up their things and running away quickly, they did not forget Chunyan, and specially ran over to take her with them.

At first, Chunyan thought very simply, and called Chen Shuangchuan to go with her, but she was severely reprimanded by her father, if they just left, it would be a fugitive slave, and the crime was very serious, if someone found out, but they would be killed on the spot, and Chen Shuangchuan must not be allowed to know.

On the one hand, Chen Shuangchuan and on the other hand, her biological father, Chunyan was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, this choice really made her feel a dilemma, and she hesitated for a long time before saying that she would follow her father.

I thought I would just leave, but who would have thought that Chunyan's father and mother were greedy, and they had collected it in the house for a long time, and what they could use and eat, as long as they could be brought, they would not fall, and Chunyan was sad for a while, and only felt that she never seemed to know these two people.

Escaped from Wencheng County, Chunyan's family went in the wrong direction, just ran into Lian Wang's subordinates, Chunyan's parents secretly collected a lot of property from He's family, a full car, and only three people followed everywhere It was particularly dazzling, and they were targeted halfway and robbed.

Fortunately, someone rescued him, Chunyan's father died of serious injuries, and Chunyanniang soon couldn't hold on and collapsed. Chunyan was the only one left, and she followed her life-saving benefactor to Duqiao County, who had just become a relative the previous year, but she didn't expect to meet Chen Shuang here.

Looking at Chen Shuangxia, the green jacket, the cloisonné skirt, the whole body is very plain, maybe because he has not been exposed to the sun for a long time, he is much whiter than before, but he is very thin, and he can't see much flesh on his face, and his chin is more and more sharp. Only those eyes are the same as before, although the expression is cold, but when you look closely, it is magically warm, and I always feel that there is an extraordinary perseverance, as if nothing can change.

For Chen Shuangchuan, Chunyan always felt guilty, thinking that she didn't know how to be hated by her, but she never thought that Chen Shuangchuan would still want to ask her if she was okay, Chunyan suddenly only thought about crying.

Regarding Chunyan's affairs, Chen Shuangchuan never dared to think about it, she was always afraid of knowing the truth, she was afraid that she would be sad to know that Chunyan had betrayed her, and she was even more afraid that she would know that Chunyan had to suffer an accident.

So seeing that Chunyan was safe, Chen Shuangchuan only felt like he had let go of a big stone in his heart, and he was sincerely happy, and the rest was actually not so important.

"Grandma, I ......" Chunyan wanted to make things clear back then, but this was related to her father, and it was really a little difficult to say.

I haven't heard Chunyan call grandma for a long time, I just feel like I'm back in the past, Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but smile and said sincerely: "Don't call me grandma." Since they have all become relatives, the deed of sale should have been returned to you, but in those years, there was a shortage of soldiers, and I don't know where to throw it away. Is that man good to you? ”

Chunyan suddenly became a little shy, and slowly said that her husband used to be a wandering vendor, it turned out that Chen Shuangchuan had also seen it, and had bought chickens from him, and later when he fled, he went to Chen Shuangchuan's house to ask for water to drink, and it happened to be the same road as Chunyan's family, and it was thanks to him that Chunyan was saved.

"It's a coincidence."

After chatting with Chunyan for a long time, I only saw that Chunhong was a little strange, this person should be Chen Shuangchuan's old acquaintance, but these two people said that they were close, but they were separated by a few layers, and the two of them were a little cautious when they spoke, saying that they were not close, Chen Shuangchuan smiled very sincerely, and seemed to be sincerely happy.

When he went home, Chen Shuangchuan said to Chunhong: "You don't need to tell anyone when you go back, just don't meet it." ”

It's just that in this way, Chen Shuangchuan has completely forgotten to bring back the side dishes, He Ruyu puffed out his mouth aggrievedly, He Jue was already tearful at Chen Shuangchuan, seeing that Chen Shuangchuan's heart was weak for a while, and he quickly promised to sleep with them at night, and then coaxed the two little ones.

When He Jinbao came back, there was an extra invitation post at home, and King Wen Sima Ziheng's son was one year old and invited the Quartet.

For Sima Ziheng, neither Chen Shuangchuan nor He Jinbao had a good impression, and he didn't want to go, but the person who sent the invitation said that King Wen heard that He Jinbao was building a road in Duqiao County and intended to help.

Because of the lack of money, the road repair was not going well, even if He Jinbao led the troops, he couldn't miss the drill, and let the soldiers repair the road all day long, and Guo Wuyi only agreed to assist at the beginning, and the role he could play was really limited.

If Sima Ziheng can really help, it will also be a great thing.

Chen Shuangchuan was worried that Sima Ziheng would take the opportunity to make a mistake again, but He Jinbao said that in order to avoid suspicion, he should not start in his own place, and now He Jinbao is just a small military member, and he must not be pleased, and he is not worthy of Sima Ziheng's plot.

Probably thinking that building roads is a major event for the benefit of the people after all, and if it can really be done, it will be possible to win some people's hearts and minds by intervening in it.
