Chapter 156: Farewell
Zhao Han glanced in the direction of Yu Xiaocao, going to the capital, I don't know when we will see each other again. The thin but strong figure in memory, the face that still keeps smiling in the midst of suffering, the little girl who always gives hope and surprise...... I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future!
After eating, General Zhao Zimo went back early. Zhao Bufan and Yu Hai were still facing the moon, drinking wine, and talking about chickens and ducks with drunken eyes. Zhao Boniang pulled Liu's and said the private words of the women themselves.
After Zhao Han talked to the Yu Hang brothers, he looked at Xiaocao's busy figure who was busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward and said, "Xiaocao, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Xiaolian looked at the complicated emotions in Zhao Han's eyes, pursed her lips and smiled: "Little sister, you go!" I'll do it here! ”
Yu Xiaocao washed his hands, dried them with a cotton cloth, and walked towards Zhao Han.
"Tomorrow, I'm leaving. Can you walk with me? Zhao Han lowered his head and looked at the slender little girl in front of him who was only up to his chest, and his voice was so soft that he seemed to be afraid of scaring people away.
Yu Xiaocao nodded and took the lead in walking towards the outside of the courtyard.
A cool evening breeze blows through the woods. The newly grown leaves rustle softly. At night, Xishan is like a black behemoth, standing on the edge of Dongshan Village, and like a protector, looking down at young children......
Two figures, one tall and one short, one strong and one weak, walked slowly on the rugged path under the dim starlight. Zhao Han looked down at the silent grass and took the lead in breaking the silence: "I'm leaving, don't you have anything to say to me?" ”
Yu Xiaocao's heart was also full of sadness and reluctance at this time. Zhao Han can be said to be the first friend she made after wearing this world. It was he who taught her the skills to set up and let her accumulate her first wealth; It was he, in the midst of Kuroko's strong bullying, who resolutely became the protector of her and her younger brother; It was him, even if his heart was full of doubts and incomprehension about her many behaviors, he still trusted her, tolerated her, and never doubted and questioned her!
With such an unconditional friend, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet a second one in the future, right? I have mixed feelings in my heart, and a thousand words are only turned into a sentence of "cherish".
Looking up in front of him, his fair little face was smiling, and his big crystal eyes were full of reluctant grass, Zhao Han had the idea of packing her away desperately for a moment.
But reason stopped him after all. Zhao Han still said with a hint of hope: "Xiaocao, come with us to the capital!" There, you'll be able to show your talent and make a career. Haven't you always taken Jiang Linglong as an example and broke out of the world of women? ”
Yu Xiaocao looked at him with wide eyes as if he could speak, and his ardent expectations were reflected in his clear pupils. But Xiaocao shook her head slowly after all, too, what qualifications did he have to ask her to go with them?
Yu Xiaocao felt Zhao Han's frustration and loss, gently pulled his sleeve, and said, "Brother Han." I know you can't bear me and the stones, and we don't want you to go. However, in Beijing, you and Uncle Zhao can give full play to their strengths and ambitions. We can only silently support you and bless you. ”
After a pause, she turned her head to the shadowy Dongshan Village, sighed softly, and said, "I'm different from you!" My godfather also persuaded me to go to the capital to be with my godmother, saying that I would have a better life. But Dongshan Village is my home, my parents and brothers and sisters are here, and I can't abandon them and go to the capital to live a good life by myself. If one day, I leave Dongshan Village, it will also be with my own efforts and achievements, with my family, to live a good life together. You know what I mean? ”
Zhao Han's mother is the young lady of the previous dynasty, and she has received an education of three obedience and four virtues since she was a child. Therefore, the definition of women in Zhao Han's heart has always been weak, gentle, and husband-oriented. Facing the self-reliant grass, he suddenly felt that a woman could be so independent and strong; It turns out that women can also hold up a piece of the sky for their own home......
Under the dim starlight, Yu Xiaocao's confident little face seemed to exude a slight fluorescence, illuminating the gloomy mountains and forests, and also lighting up the inextinguishable starlight in Zhao Han's heart.
"Hmmm! I respect your choice! Then I hope that in the near future, we will be able to meet in the capital. I still think that you will have better development in Beijing! Zhao Han retracted his gaze and buried the sorrow in his heart. I don't know when they will meet again.
Yu Xiaocao smiled brightly, brighter than the moonlight of the fifteenth. Her voice echoed in the empty mountain forest for a long time: "It will definitely be!" We high-five and swear: See you in Beijing! ”
The large palm with a hard callus in the palm meets the white and soft little hand, making a crisp sound. The sound was so loud in the night that it startled the night birds resting in the nearby bushes......
The news that the Zhao family was made a general and wanted to be an official in the capital had already spread in Dongshan Village. When the Zhao family left, the town mobilized a team of people, and six carriages came alone. In order to show his attention to the Zhao family, the emperor gave the general's mansion, except for some valuable and personal supplies, there was not much to bring. However, this pomp and circumstance made the villagers of Dongshan Village talk about it for a long time.
On the day the Zhao family left, the entire Dongshan Village was dispatched. On behalf of Dongshan Village, the village chief stumbled to General Zhao to express his intention to see him off. Many people who have dealings with the Zhao family have come up to say a few words and send their own souvenirs, hoping that they will not dislike them.
Just kidding, the Zhao family is now a celebrity in the eyes of the emperor and a big official of the imperial court. can have a relationship with a big official, even if he only says a sentence or two, it will be enough to brag and show off for a long time in the future. Those who had nothing to do with the Zhao family, or had small frictions, all stood timidly to the side and watched with envy.
As the Yu family, who has the most iron relationship with the Zhao family, they just stuffy their heads to help load the packed luggage into the car. If anything, it was almost said last night.
The Li family looked enviously at the Liu family, who was helping the Zhao family lady carry the cage, and slowly stepped forward: "Second brother and sister, the box is heavy." I'll help you ......."
"No need, there's nothing in the box, I'll just do it myself!" The lady of the Zhao family didn't have a good impression of the Li family, but for the sake of the Liu family's face, she didn't give her a face, but just rejected her outstretched hand.
Li withdrew his hand in a daze, licked his face and continued to talk to the lady of the Zhao family: "Sister-in-law of the Zhao family, you will be blessed in the future, live in a big house in the capital, and maybe there will be a maid and a wife waiting for you." Tsk, it's like falling into a honey pot. I said a long time ago, the sister-in-law of the Zhao family has a blessed face! ”
"Thank you very much." The lady of the Zhao family said in a light tone, turned around and took Liu's hand, and told her that if she had the opportunity to go to the capital, she must remember to go to see her.
Liu nodded with tears in her eyes, although she didn't think that she would have the opportunity to go to the capital in this life, she still agreed very softly. Li looked at the two of them who were like sisters with envy, his eyes were rolling, as if he was thinking about something.
Under the earnest eyes of the villagers, the Zhao family finally set off. The Zhao family's house was repaired quite sturdily, and when they left, they gave the house to Yu Hai's family, which made many people in the village envious and jealous.
House Town with a team of people personally escorted, he sat on a tall horse, looked at the little girl in front of the crowd, suddenly lit up a loud voice, shouted: "Girl! Why don't you take this opportunity to go to the capital with your godfather and meet your godmother? Your godmother has been talking about seeing you for a long time......"
This voice made Yu Xiaocao and everyone in the Yu family suddenly become the focus of everyone's attention.
As the minister of the Qincha, the general of the house town supervised the construction of the port, and the news of Dongshan Village had already spread. In the past month or so, the ministers of the Qin Mission have frequently appeared in Dongshan Village, and General Fang is General Zhao's apprentice, and it is normal for people to have close contacts. But this minister has to go in and out of Yu's house almost twice a day or more, so the villagers of Dongshan Village don't understand it very well. You must know that the village chief invited Lord Qincha to his house several times, but he was politely refused! You said that this Yu family, what is there to make Master Fang take a look?
The house town collects Xiaocao to do the work of her daughter, except for the Yu family of the Zhao family, and a few people who are good friends with the Yu family, there are few others who know. And those families who are good friends with the Yu family are not broken-mouthed, and they will not talk outside without the consent of the Yu family. Therefore, for more than a month, the relationship between the house town and the Yu family has not spread in Dongshan Village.
It didn't matter what he said, the eyes of the villagers looking at the Yu family were full of complicated emotions. After Yu Hai went out of the house, it was like hanging up. Not only did the leg that the doctor decided to amputate healed, but life also got better and better.
First, he made out a penny of braised vegetables, and it was very hot on the dock. It is said that now there is at least one or two hundred wen a day. Also, I really didn't find out that Yu Hai was still a good at growing vegetables before, not only could people grow vegetables in advance, but also became a fixed purchase object for Zhenyulou. The money from selling vegetables alone is also a lot of income. I heard that the young owner of Zhenyulou also treats the Yu family differently!
Now, do you say that Yu Hai has accumulated eight lifetimes of blessings in his previous life, and his youngest daughter was actually favored by Lord Qincha and recognized as a godfather. What a blessing this must be!
The youngest daughter of the Yu family was sick several times when she was young, but she didn't expect to be a blessed person. Now, her health is also better, and she still has a good skill in making braised vegetables, and she has been accepted as a goddaughter by a big man...... The villagers' eyes turned hot as they looked at her. There are children and grandchildren in the family who are the same age as Xiaocao, and they all started her idea.
Yu Xiaocao withstood the pressure of everyone's eyes, pouted at his godfather, and said, "Godfather, I won't follow this time." You can help me bring a good one to my godmother! ”
Knowing that she would reply, he smiled slyly at his daughter. This is because he is afraid that he will leave, and his goddaughter will be bullied and support her.
