Thinking that Xu Sanlang would be back soon, Cheng Xi swept away his previous worries, and there was a happy smile on his face all the time.

Aunt Cui has been following Cheng Xi, and she is usually very careful, so she has always known that Cheng Xi looks happy on the surface, but she is often depressed when she is alone, and often sits outside the attic at night and sits for a long time watching the night.

But after Yu Gongzi came over, Cheng Xi and Yu Gongzi entered the house and sat for a while, and suddenly became very excited, the smile on that face, Aunt Cui could see that she was happy in her heart, not usually deliberately laughing, even when she was stir-frying, she kept humming songs.

Of course, Aunt Cui was happy with Cheng Xi's changes, and of course she was also very curious, and asked Cheng Xi, who was burning vegetables in front of the stove, "Xi'er, why are you so happy today?" ”

Cheng Xi touched his face and replied with a smile, "Is there one?" Well, it's just a bit of a good thing, Xu Saburo may be coming back. ”

Aunt Cui was stunned, and it took a while to understand that the Xu Sanlang in Cheng Xi's mouth should be her father-in-law, the male host she had never seen.

About Cheng Xi's affairs, I have more or less known about it over the years, but the male protagonist Xu Sanlang has been away for several years, but no one is willing to mention it, Cheng Xi himself does not mention it, and of course others will not mention it, so as not to make Cheng Xi unhappy, even the Xu family rarely talks about Xu Sanlang.

Now that I heard Cheng Xi say that Xu Sanlang was coming back, Aunt Cui was a little surprised, and she admired Cheng Xi very much, she married someone at such a young age, but the man left suddenly, she supported a family by herself at a young age, and waited for her man to return without regrets.

Looking at Cheng Xi's happiness, Aunt Cui felt that Cheng Xi should like her father-in-law very much, but she didn't know what the man who made such a resting woman think about it was like, and Aunt Cui was also looking forward to seeing the man she had never seen before.

The next morning, Cheng Xi got up early, didn't see Yu Zhaocai during dinner, so he went to the door in person, knocked on the door of Yu Zhaocai's room, Yu Zhaocai had no choice but to get up, followed Cheng Xi to have breakfast, and then listlessly got into the carriage and went to Shiqiao Village.

Because it is necessary to pass through Shiqiao Village to go to Anyang County, Cheng Xi thought about going to Shiqiao Village to see the Cheng family first, and then going to the county seat with Yu Zhaocai, which would also save time.

Because it was a horse-drawn carriage, it was much faster than an ox-cart, and it was almost noon when I arrived at Shiqiao Village.

Cheng Xi let the carriage go directly to the gate of the yard of her father's house, and when she got off the carriage at the gate of the yard, Cheng Xi found that several people were looking inside at the gate of the yard.

Cheng Xi stood behind several women and asked aloud, "What are you doing here?" ”

The women were startled, turned their heads and looked at Cheng Xi for a long time before they spoke, "You are, you are Cheng Jiaxi's girl?" ”

Cheng Xi didn't have much affection for these women in Shiqiao Village, so he reluctantly pursed his lips and nodded.

The women looked Cheng Xi up and down with their mouths slightly open in surprise, and Cheng Xi was a little impatient when they saw it, and asked again, "What are you doing here?" ”

The women finally came back to their senses, and one of them replied with an embarrassed smile, "We heard that the people from the Cheng family are back, so we came over to take a look." ”

Cheng Xi walked past them and knocked on the door, and said to a few women by the way, "Since you came to have a look, you just went into the house, what are you doing standing outside?" ”

After speaking, Cheng Xi knocked on the courtyard door, and soon a voice came from inside, "Here, wait a minute." ”

The women suddenly retreated, and one of them replied awkwardly, "No, let's go first." ”

As soon as the words were finished, several women turned around and walked away quickly, as if they were afraid that Cheng Xi would stop them again, Cheng Xi curled his lips at the backs of the few who left, and muttered, "What's wrong?" ”

At this time, the courtyard door also opened from the inside, and it was Cheng Chen who was standing at the door, and when he saw Cheng Xi, he smiled, "Xi'er is back, come into the house, but just came back, the house is very messy." ”

Seeing Yu Zhaocai behind Cheng Xi, Cheng Chen hugged his fists and greeted Yu Zhaocai, "Yu Gongzi is rare, the cold house is simple, Yu Gongzi please come inside." ”

Yu Zhaocai waved his hand, "I recognize Xi'er's brother, we are also a family, can you not be so polite to me?" ”

Cheng Xi also responded, "Brother, you are polite to him, why are you holding the door in broad daylight?" ”

While speaking, Cheng Xi followed Yu Zhaocai into the house with Cheng Chen, and Cheng Chen shouted inside, "Ah Cai, Xi'er is back, you go to the door to help drive the carriage in." ”

After shouting, Cheng Chen answered Cheng Xi's question, "Since I came back yesterday, there have been people who have always probed their brains at the door of our house, and Aunt Wu asked us to lock the door when we go in and out, so that those people don't know what to do with our family." ”

This is Cheng Cai coming out of the house, seeing Cheng Xi, there is a smile on his face that can't be hidden, he walks over quickly, and says to Cheng Chen, "Second brother, you go to catch the carriage, I'll take Xi'er into the house, Xi'er, how are you doing?" Did the Xu family embarrass you? Are you taller than when we left? ”

As for Yu Zhaocai, who was by Cheng Xi's side, he was directly ignored by Cheng Cai, Yu Zhaocai knew that Cheng Xi, the fourth brother's virtue, was simply a sister slave, but he didn't get angry with him.

When Cheng Xi entered the house and saw Cheng Dagui sitting in the middle of the house, he called Dad with a smile.

Cheng Dagui nodded, and then greeted Yu Zhaocai beside Cheng Xi with a smile, "Yu Gongzi is a rare guest, please take a seat, Xi'er, you go to the kitchen and ask your Aunt Wu to boil water to make tea." ”

Cheng Cai on the side hurriedly said loudly, "Mother, there are guests, you boil water to make tea." ”

Then he said to Xi'er, "Xi'er, you sit, my mother heard." ”

Cheng Dagui glanced at Cheng Cai, and then continued to talk to the two, "How could Miss Xi walk with Yu Gongzi?" ”

Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "Dad, he just went to Lihua Village yesterday, and he is going back to the county seat today, I heard that you are back, and I want to come back to see you, so I will go with him on the way." ”

Yu Zhaocai responded to Cheng Dagui, "I'm bothering Uncle Cheng." ”

Cheng Cai's eyes flashed, and then he said, "Since Yu Gongzi has recognized Xi'er as his sister, that is, his own family, there is no need to be so polite." ”

Cheng Dagui answered, "That is, Yu Gongzi is casual, you don't have to be polite, just a humble house, and some grievances Yu Gongzi." ”

Cheng Xi was speechless, a few people said that they didn't have to be polite, this was more polite than the other, what kind of trouble was it, Cheng Xi found a place to sit down, simply interrupted the words of a few people, and asked, "I heard some from Brother Yu yesterday, Fourth Brother, what is the situation in Cloud City now?" ”

Cheng Caiying said, "As long as they have something to do with the former governor of Yuncheng, they have all been arrested and put in prison, and now Yuncheng is arresting people everywhere, and it has become a pot of porridge, people in the city can't get out, people outside the city can't get in, and Brother Zhao's business can't be done for the time being, so we think about simply coming back, we can get out of the city, thanks to Brother Zhao, I just said hello to the person who guarded the city, and our family was released." ”

Cheng Xi nodded, "It's okay to be back, so what are your plans in the future?" ”

Cheng Dagui responded, "I and your Aunt Wu are also old, I don't want to run around, we still have land in Shiqiao Village, and I can barely move my legs, although I can't do any heavy work, but the work in my hands is still no problem, I plan to stay in Shiqiao Village in the future, Ah Chen and Ah Cai let them plan for themselves." ”

Cheng Chen on the side opened his mouth and said, "Brother Zhao said that when the cloud city stops, he will inform us back." ”

Cheng Xi nodded and responded, "It's good to follow Brother Zhao to continue to stay in Cloud City, otherwise it will be really difficult for the family to support the family with this little land, brother, you can buy more land after you earn money, which is better than holding silver in your hands." ”

Cheng Chen nodded approvingly, "I also have this idea." ”

At this time, Cheng Qiang and Wu came in from outside, Cheng Qiang was already five or six years old, jumped in front of Cheng Xide, and threw himself into Cheng Xi's arms, "Sister, Xiaoqiang misses you so much." ”

Cheng Xi stretched out his hand and scratched Cheng Qiang's nose, "Such a big person is still coquettish." ”

Cheng Cheng stuck out his tongue and whispered in Cheng Xi's ear, "Sister, why didn't you come with you?" ”

Cheng Xi glanced at his father Cheng Dagui, who was sitting in the first place, and only whispered before he whispered, "Next time, my sister will take Xiaoqiang to my sister's orchard to pick fruits." ”

Cheng Qiang said excitedly, "Sister, really? Talk and talk, pull the hook. ”

Cheng Xi smiled and stretched out his hand and hooked it with Cheng Qiang's fingers, "Okay, pull the hook." ”

The Wu family on the side poured tea for a few people, politely greeted Yu Zhaocai to drink tea, and then scolded Cheng Qiang in Cheng Xi's arms, "Xiaoqiang, why do you forget your sister when you are such an adult, come down." ”

Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "Aunt Wu, it's okay." ”

Wu didn't continue to reprimand Cheng Qiang, and asked, "How is Xi'er doing lately?" Did the Xu family trouble you again? ”

Cheng Xi replied with a smile, "No, it's all good." ”

Wu said, "It's okay if you don't have it, after we left, your father talked about it for a long time, and he was worried that the Xu family would find trouble with you again, and now that we are back, I don't know if the Xu family will look for our business." ”

Cheng Xi looked at Wu's worried face, and said comfortingly, "Let's be down-to-earth and don't make trouble, forgive them and don't dare to do anything, Aunt Wu doesn't have to worry too much." ”

Wu opened his mouth and said, "I originally said that I would simply move to other places, so as not to be in the same village with the Xu family, and be pinched by the Xu family in the future, and your father will come back here with this stubborn bone." ”

Cheng Dagui opened his mouth and responded, "This Xu family is really looking for trouble, as long as we are in Anyang County, can we run away?" Go to other places, our household registration is still in Anyang County, this county order is still Xu Wenyu, and it is up to others to decide whether to leave or not. ”

Cheng Xi heard Cheng Dagui's words, and felt that this Xu family was really a trouble, thinking that when Xu Sanlang came back, he really had to think of a way.

Cheng Chen watched the family talk more and more unhappy, it was rare for Cheng Xi to come back, with a heavy expression on his face, he hurriedly changed the topic, asked about Cheng Xi's orchard, and finally bypassed the topic of the Xu family.

But as he spoke, the topic went around Xu Sanlang again, and Cheng Dagui didn't get angry with Cheng Xi anymore, but persuaded Cheng Xi in a serious tone, "Miss Xi, this Xu Sanlang has been out for a few years, and he doesn't even know whether he is alive or dead without any news, you are still young, although you are married to her, but at that time, you were young, you broke off with him earlier, and you can still find a good mother-in-law." ”

Wu on the side also opened his mouth to persuade, "That's it, look at such a Peugeot girl, and so capable, you will definitely be able to find a good marriage, I think you still don't have to guard that Xu Sanlang, except for a good skin, where is it good, there is no sense of responsibility at all." ”

Cheng Xi coughed in embarrassment and responded, "Let's talk about this later, by the way, are the four uncles also back?" I'll have to see them, too. ”

Cheng Xi was afraid that her father and Aunt Wu would still hold on to this topic, so she simply got up, planning to go over now, and finally ended the topic.

Because he had to go to the county seat, Cheng Xi didn't stay at Cheng's house for too long, and after lunch, he followed Yu Zhaocai and left, Cheng Dagui stood at the door on crutches, watched the carriage leave, and sighed and said, "I always feel that Xi'er is no longer the Xi'er of the past, she is married, she has grown up, and she no longer depends on others for everything." ”
