Wei Qilang drove the mule down the bustling street, trying to get to the edge, but it took them a long time to stop in front of an inn. Helping Dong Ru off the mule cart, he turned his head to look at the inn, which was very ordinary and inconspicuous, and led Dong Ru in.

It is such an ordinary inn, and the decoration inside is much more luxurious than the only inn in Jianglin Town, in Dong Ru's eyes, this is simply a mansion wing, and because of the advent of the wedding festival, even this small inn is full, and the hall is full of noise.

"Oops! I'm sorry for the two, the shop is full, and there is no room for the two of them. The shopkeeper was sharp-eyed, they greeted him as soon as they entered the door, and they called a thousand children, seeing these two people, it was obvious that this woman had never seen the world at all, but the man next to her was calm, and immediately turned his eyes to him, and said with a smile: "Look..."

Dong Ru was stunned when she heard this, and subconsciously looked towards Wei Qilang, obviously she didn't expect it to be full at all, and was seeking his opinion.

Wei Qilang thought of these earlier, but after calculating the four days to hurry, Dong Ru's current body is really not suitable for walking more, and he must find a place to live, so he turned his head and smiled at Dong Ru: "Otherwise, let's go to another house to find a place to live first, you can rest first, and then come out to eat?" ”

"Just listen to you." Dong Ru's heart was at ease, thinking that she was used to relying on it, so she was in a panic and had no idea, but Wei Qilang was always with her, and he would do everything well and complete it quickly, so she didn't have to worry.

Wei Qilang nodded, and helped Dong Ru to get into the mule cart again.

Finally found an inn that was not yet full to settle down, and it was almost afternoon when Dong Ru had rested enough, and her stomach began to bark at this time, and the voice came out slightly, she couldn't help but be ashamed, and covered her face with her hands.

Wei Qilang on the side saw it in his eyes, patted the back of her hand lightly to comfort her, and said softly, "I'll take you somewhere." As he spoke, he stood up, picked her up and smiled, "You're going to like it." ”

"Where are you going?" Dong Ru didn't expect him to say this, but when he was in a hurry, he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "It's not as good as at home, don't mess around." ”

"Who said I'm messing around?" Wei Qilang smiled, seeing that Dong Ru still looked worried about himself, his eyes softened, patted her face to signal her not to be anxious, and said, "Follow me." ”

Dong Ru saw that he was mysterious and secret, and he didn't know why, but he still got up and followed him out of the inn.

Wei Qilang pulled her to avoid the crowd and turned into a small alley, as soon as she entered the alley, the noisy voices around her immediately quieted down, and without the noise, it was much more deserted.

Dong Ru followed Wei Qilang and walked slowly, looking around. I saw that this alley seems to be inconspicuous, but in fact the winding path is quiet, the willows on the side are melodious and light, and the surrounding walls are also high walls and blue tiles, and the flower branches that poke out of the wall on one side are as elegant and graceful as a girl.

"Where are you taking me?" Dong Ru was a little worried in his heart, and his little face was also very uneasy, he reached out and squeezed Wei Qilang's hand and said softly: "It looks so magnificent here, don't let us enter the mansion of any adult." ”

Listening to her words, Wei Qilang turned his head and chuckled, smoothed her frowning brows, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's almost there." With that, he picked her up and slowly walked into the depths of the alley.

After turning the last alley, when he saw the melodious picture of the willows in front of him, Dong Ru couldn't help but smile, stopped walking, turned his head to look at Wei Qilang and said, "You really know how to find a place." ”

In front of the end of the alley is a small pond, where willow trees spread along the shore and grow in rows, patches of greenery.

On the edge of the pond there is a small storefront, the whole house is made of local materials, all of which are built from the trunk of the willow tree on the shore, the front is open, and the back is convenient for the pond as the background, and the whole storefront is wrapped in fresh greenery by the willows. There weren't many people in there at the moment, but it was the opposite of the overcrowded inn in front of it.

Wei Qilang saw that Dong Ru was very happy, his face was also bright and moving in the sun, his heart was soft, he nodded and said: "This store is opened by an old woman, she can't see with her eyes, she has been here for many years, but the person is very good. As he spoke, he took Dong Ru's hand and walked over.

When he got closer, Dong Rucai really saw the structure of this storefront, it was fresh from a distance, but up close, it was actually just a house made of a few wooden boards, and if there was a strong wind, the house would fall apart. And there are only some simple pots and pans in it, to say that cooking is provided to guests, Dong Rushi doubts that Wei Qilang has brought her to the wrong place.

Hearing the voice, an old woman with gray hair and a brown coarse cloth robe slowly turned from inside, half-squinted, a smile on her old face, and beckoned, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Grandma, you don't have to say hello, it's me, Shichiro, who brought Uchiko to see you." Before Dong Ru could react, she listened to Wei Qilang on the side, and she seemed to know him when she heard what he meant, so she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.

Wei Qilang felt her gaze, bowed his head and smiled, and helped her over to sit on the cushion in the middle of the room.

Dong Ru looked around before, and felt that something was missing, until now she sat on the cushion, and suddenly found that the thing missing was a chair, there was no chair for people to sit on in this store, all of them were cushioned, and they were spread on the ground one by one, and then she sat on one of them.

Wei Qilang beside him was with his legs together, not sitting directly on it like her, but kneeling on it upright, and then said to Dong Ru: "Your body is too heavy, it's uncomfortable to kneel, so let's sit like this." ”

Grandma Liu on the side laughed when she heard Wei Qilang's voice, and groped forward, although she couldn't see it, but she was very familiar with the furnishings in this room, even if she didn't need to be guided, she quickly walked to Dong Ru, knelt down on the soft cushion, and then picked up the teapot on the small table on the side, handed it to Wei Qilang, and said with a smile: "You haven't been here for a long time, last time you said you wanted to bring your wife over to see me, but it's her?" ”

Dong Ru was ashamed when she heard it, it was estimated that she had talked about Grandma Liu when she visited Grandma Liu last time Wei Qilang came to Yecheng, so that she would remember herself.

Wei Qilang on the side took the teapot and poured three cups of water and put them away, nodded when he heard the words, glanced at Dong Ru, and said, "Yes, Neizi's surname is Dong, call Aru." ”

Grandma Liu turned her head slightly when she listened, nodded in the direction of Dong Ru with a smile, stretched out her hand and said kindly: "Come, let the old woman touch me." As he spoke, a pair of thin hands gently touched Dong Ru's cheeks.

Dong Ru saw that she was amiable, and Wei Qilang on the side also changed his cold look in the past, and even his playful smile was a little soft, looking at Grandma Liu with a smile, she was puzzled, presumably this Grandma Liu was not ordinary to Wei Qilang. But she herself is also a kind person, and she will not easily feel rejected by others, let alone a person who is not ordinary to her own public.

At that moment, Grandma Liu's hand stretched out, but she didn't hide, but just sat like that, letting her caress it.

The old hand brushed her delicate face, and Grandma Liu's blind eyes gradually smiled, nodded and praised: "What a good girl." Her hand slowly moved down again, put it on her belly, and said, "It's about to give birth, the belly is high and straight, Grandma, I guess it's a male baby." ”

"Is what Grandma said true?" Dong Ru's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her face was crimson. Being able to give birth to a male baby for her husband is a deep-rooted idea in the minds of rural women, and they regard it as their responsibility to pass it on to future generations.

"Your father-in-law understands medical skills, your belly is already very big, in fact, you can see it by taking the pulse, didn't he tell you?" Grandma Liu asked with a smile.

"I asked him, but he wouldn't tell me." Dong Ru lowered his head and said silently, then looked up at Wei Qilang beside him, and saw that he was looking at himself gently, he couldn't help but feel the unhappiness in his heart disappear again, and said shyly: "He said that male and female babies are the same, don't let me worry about this." ”

"That's not it." Grandma Liu still smiled kindly, but she got up and walked away, and said as she walked: "Qilang doesn't pay attention to those old thoughts, you are blessed to follow him, and the days ahead are still very long, you have to cherish fate." ”

"Yes." Dong Ru nodded and was taught, and saw that Grandma Liu's figure was out of sight, so he turned his head and asked Wei Qilang quietly: "Qilang, who are you this grandma?" ”

Wei Qilang looked stunned when he heard this, and only said after half a sound: "She is my mother's personal maid, and after my mother died, she had nowhere to go, so I took her to Yecheng, and I was delivered by her." ”

I see, speaking of which, Grandma Liu can be regarded as half of Wei Qilang's mother-in-law, no wonder the relationship between them is different. Dong Ru's heart was relieved, and he remembered that his own mother had died, his hand was quietly applied to his hand, and his eyes were also shining at him, and he asked, "So, you brought me here, is it considered home?" ”

Wei Qilang nodded, didn't speak, but also clenched her hand and put it in his palm, the two stared at each other for a long time, and then he said softly: "I don't have a home, you may think that I am from a big family, and my identity is unattainable, in fact, in my opinion, it is not so much unattainable as a day of work in the countryside and fields, at least, there is no need to live in the days of intrigue and worry about life every day." ”

He said again: "I brought you here to fulfill a promise I told you before, Grandma Liu is half of my mother, and if you see her, you will see my mother, and I think she seems to like you very much." ”

Dong Ru hurriedly lowered his head when he heard this, but his small earlobes were red, and he said sweetly in his heart: "I thought you always didn't accept me in your heart and wouldn't bring me here." She said, but paused, as if she hesitated for a long time, before she said again: "You and I are married, even if you want to say that you have no home in the future, it will be impossible, so don't say this kind of thing again." ”
