At dusk on the ninth day of July, Zeng Ruolan led her two daughters to stand on the high shore of the Sanjiang Wharf in Shangrao County, looking around, although this place is only six or seven miles away from the Zhujia husband's house, she can not feel any joy and warmth, the Xinjiang River beside her is reluctant to flow day and night, her hometown Shitian is in the upper reaches of this river, the rushing river does not return, and her hometown is not the hometown of the past, the ancient camphor in front of the door is still the same, and the grass and trees in front of the tomb of her father and mother have grown-

"Big brother, why don't you go to Zhujiajia first to ask about the situation, and Xiaotong and Xiaowei and I will find a place to stay and wait for your news, so as not to be reckless and go back and be laughed at, okay?"

Zeng Ruolan tried hard to save a little face, no matter what she said, she couldn't go back by herself, so she always had to let her husband Zhu Dedong pick up her mother and daughter.

Zeng Qian nodded and said, "Okay, where are you going to rest, I'll wait and Dedong to pick you up?" ”

Zeng Ruolan said: "Go to find an inn outside the West Gate, it is also close to Zhujiajia." ”

Zeng Qian called another small sedan chair, let Zeng Ruolan's mother and daughter take the sedan chair, and the others walked, went around the city for a half turn to the west gate, and arranged Zeng Ruolan's mother and daughter and Mei Xiang to rest at the Yang Family Inn. ”

Zeng Qian said: "I know, you eat something at the inn first, and Dedong and I will pick you up in an hour." "Riding the sedan chair, Uncle Li and Lao Shan followed the sedan chair left and right and went to Zhujiajia.

Zeng Ruolan watched her eldest brother Zeng Qian walk away before returning to the guest room, and saw Ah Tong and Ah Wei's little sisters sitting obediently on the edge of the bed, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, her two daughters are usually squeamish, especially the eldest daughter A Tong, who is already eight years old, and she still cries her nose at every turn, this time she also cried all the way back to Ishida, which was annoying, but since they arrived in Ishida, the two children have become very well-behaved, maybe they feel the coldness of their aunt Xie—

"Mother, Daddy will come to pick us up soon, right?"

Eight-year-old Ah Tong asked with a smile and whispered, but the smile was a little reluctant.

"Alas, why do you have to stay here and wait, why don't we go back to Zhujia with our uncle?

Five-year-old Ah Wei pouted and said, and her sister Ah Tong, who was sitting next to her, gently nudged her and motioned her not to say this.

Zeng Ruolan touched Xiao Awei's pink face and said, "I'll go home soon, let's eat something here first, you two say, what do you want to eat?" ”

Ah Tong said: "Mother, I'm hungry, I want to eat cold skin." ”

"Okay, Adan eats cold skin, what about Ah Wei?" Zeng Ruolan touched her little daughter's face and asked.

Ah Wei thought for a while and said, "I want to eat croissant candy and zongzi." ”

Sister Ah Tong immediately reproached: "The Dragon Boat Festival has passed early, where are there still zongzi, oops, you are really ignorant, didn't my sister tell you before——"

Five-year-old Ah Wei's mouth was flat and wanted to cry and endured, Zeng Ruolan hurriedly comforted: "Let Sister Meixiang go out to buy, maybe there are zongzi, Ah Wei loves to eat ham zongzi, right?" ”

The old girl Huan Meixiang pinched a small string of copper coins out of the inn, and the cool skin and croissants were soon bought, but the zongzi were difficult to find, and asked people, some people said that the nearby tea saint inn sells zongzi all year round, and Mei Xiang found the tea saint inn, and sure enough, I saw a bamboo tent in front of the inn gate, an old man was selling zongzi, a stove, a few steamers, and the hot fragrance was overflowing-

There are no ham dumplings, only ordinary glutinous rice dumplings and red bean dumplings, Mei Xiang bought three rice dumplings from the old man for two pennies, and was about to return to the Yang Family Inn, when she heard a little girl talking in the window on the second floor of the Tea Saint Inn:

"Mother, I also want to eat zongzi."

Another woman by the window said, "Okay, let Sixi go and buy two rice dumplings." ”

The little girl cried out: "Four joys, four joys, buy two rice dumplings." ”

Mei Xiang heard the woman's voice a little familiar, and heard the name Sixi, and said in her heart: "Listening to that woman's voice is a bit like Aunt Zhou in Ishida, is the little girl Miss Niuniu, how can they wait here, that Sixi will come to buy zongzi soon." ”

Mei Xiang is two years older than Zeng Ruolan, she is Zeng Ruolan's dowry girl, she has been living in Ishida until she is eighteen years old, and she is also accompanied every time Zeng Ruolan returns to her parents' house, and she is very familiar with the people and things of the Zeng family in Shitian-

A young man in Tsing Yi came over and said loudly to the old man who sold zongzi: "Dad, how do you sell this zongzi?" ”

Mei Xiang shouted: "Little Sixi, it's really you"

Sixi turned his head and said in surprise: "Sister Mei Xiang, why are you here, eldest lady?" ”

Mei Xiang walked over and twisted Sixi's ears affectionately, and said with a smile: "You have grown so big, you are about to have a sister who is taller, are Grandma Zhou and Young Master Jiuli here, Miss Ruolan is at the inn over there." ”

Sixi raised his head and shouted to the window on the second floor of the Tea Saint Inn: "Grandma, sister, Sister Meixiang is here." ”

Great-mother Zhou looked down and said happily: "Mei Xiang, why are you here, Ruolan?" ”

Mei Xiang blessed her great-mother Zhou upstairs, and said loudly: "The eldest lady is at the Yang Family Inn, and the maid will go and call them over." "Hurriedly went.

Great-mother Zhou took Niuniu downstairs to the inn, and as soon as she got out of the door, she saw Ruolan holding Ah Tong and Mei Xiang holding Ah Wei over, Niuniu screamed: "Ah Tong", happily ran over and took Ah Tong's hand, and called sweetly: "Sister Ruolan is good." ”

Zeng Ruolan saw Niuniu's happy appearance, her heart was slightly wider, and she touched Niuniu's forehead, Niuniu is now starting to grow hair, no longer semi-bald, and said, "Niuniu is good." Raising his eyes to look at his great-mother Zhou, who greeted her, he blessed a blessing on the side of the road and said, "Aunt Zhou is fine." ”

Great-mother Zhou walked over quickly and held Zeng Ruolan's hand, and said with relief: "It's good that you're back, Xiaoyu, he is planning to leave for Shitian early tomorrow morning to find you-oh, this is Xiao Awei, right, he's grown so big, well, you're good." ”

Zeng Ruolan asked: "What about the little brother, where is the little brother?" ”

Great-mother Zhou instructed Sixi to hurry up and come back from Zeng Yu, and said to Zeng Ruolan: "Xiaoyu and his classmates are drinking in the restaurant opposite, and they will come soon, let's go to the inn to talk first." ”

Zeng Ruolan followed Aunt Zhou up to the guest room on the second floor of the Chasheng Inn, and learned from Aunt Zhou that her younger brother Zeng Yu had entered school and became a student of Fuxue, Zeng Ruolan was pleasantly surprised: "Didn't I hear that Xiaoyu didn't hit last time, but it turned out that he was hit, and he didn't come to report good news to me, which made me worried." ”

Great-mother Zhou said: "This matter is a long story, our mother and son only came back from Yingtan yesterday, wait for Xiaoyu to talk to you in detail, these days I and Niuniu are enjoying Qingfu, Xiaoyu he can be affected - Xiaoyu is back." ”

Zeng Yu entered the room with a gust of wind and shouted, "Sister." There was great joy in his voice.

Zeng Ruolan got up to greet her, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she said continuously: "Xiaoyu, it's good for you to be good, my sister is very worried about you these days." ”

Ah Tong shouted happily: "Uncle Carp." "Ah Tong likes Uncle Carp very much, and every time she goes back to Ishida's grandmother's house with her mother, Uncle Carp will play with her.

Xiao Awei didn't know much about this carp spirit uncle, but he knew from his mother and sister that there was such an uncle, so he shyly followed his sister and shouted: "Uncle carp." ”

Zeng Yu squatted down and hugged the two nieces, kissed them, looked up and asked his sister Zeng Ruolan: "Sister, what's wrong with you and your brother-in-law, I'm planning to go to Shitian tomorrow to find you." ”

Zeng Ruolan wiped her tears and asked, "You have been to Zhujiajia, what did your brother-in-law say?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "My brother-in-law has a very bad attitude, I didn't say anything, and asked me to ask my sister about you." ”

Zeng Ruolan sighed, hesitated, and said: "Xiaoyu, let's talk about you first, that day there was a Xiucai surnamed Jiang who came to Zhu Jiajia with an official messenger and said that he wanted to arrest you, which really scared me a lot, and begged the Bodhisattva to bless you day and night." ”

Zeng Yu told his sister that he went to Yingtan after beating Jiang Yuanrui, and then rushed to Yuanzhou to take the make-up examination and finally got into school, Zeng Ruolan was extremely happy, touched Zeng Yu's forehead, and said to his great-mother Zhou: "No wonder I see that he has tanned a lot, but it turned out to be two or three thousand miles back and forth, it's really hard." ”

Great-mother Zhou looked at her son lovingly and said, "Yes, it's really hard for this child." ”

Zeng Ruolan asked Mei Xiang to take Niuniu and Ah Tong and A Wei to Zeng Yu's guest room next door, and then tearfully said that she was deceived in the Zhu family, first the head of the family, Zhu Jurong, was said by a Taoist priest who would burn Dan and smelt silver to deceive three hundred taels of silver, and suffered a stroke in a fit of anger and was bedridden, Zhu Dedong's three brothers discussed to divide the family, the second daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, Fang's was extremely domineering, Zeng Ruolan said two fair words about the separation of the family, this Fang family ridiculed Zeng Ruolan for not being able to give birth to a son, saying that sooner or later the family property would become a foreigner-

Zeng Ruolan was angry, and said loudly: "I myself am only thirty years old this year, and I have already given birth to two daughters, and it is not that I can't have children, how can I say that I have no heirs in three rooms, isn't it a curse?"

That Fang clan sneered: "It's not that I cursed you, I'm afraid that if you want to give birth, no one will give birth to you, will you give birth to a son alone?" ”

Zeng Ruolan was angry and puzzled, and she was determined to ask Fang's to explain, Fang's slapped her in the face, and asked her to ask Zhu Dedong to go, Fang's has several maid servants, Zeng Ruolan only has Mei Xiang's helper, she can't fight, and she tearfully asks her husband Zhu Dedong, Zhu Dedong was prevaricating at first, and then he had a seizure, pushed her to the ground, went out by herself, and didn't return home at night-

Zeng Ruolan asked Mei Xiang to inquire in many ways in private, only then did she learn that Zhu Dedong had an affair with a young widow in a neighboring village, Zeng Ruolan cried, and then took her two daughters back to her parents' house for help-

Zeng Yu listened to his sister's crying, and he was angry in his heart, but he didn't tell his sister that Zhu Dedong and the widow in the neighboring village were not just cheating, Zhu Dedong wanted to divorce his wife and marry the widow.

Zeng Yu asked: "So the eldest brother went to Zhujia alone?" ”

Zeng Ruolan said: "Uncle Li followed." ”

Zeng Yu said: "I'll take a look, the eldest brother is loyal and cowardly, I'm afraid I will suffer." ”

Great-mother Zhou hurriedly advised: "Xiaoyu, you can remember, don't do anything with others, that is your sister's husband's family." ”

Zeng Yu said: "Don't worry, my son is not a brave and ruthless person, and my son only theorizes with them." ”
