Looking north to the south of the town, the sound of broken horses. The crisp sound of horses' hooves came from the south, and seven horses, six people, and a cart stopped in the south of the town. There is a person in the car, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a middle-aged short beard, a well-defined face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, thick eyebrows and a straight nose.

"Uncle, the front is the northernmost town I look at the town. An attendant respectfully reported to the middle-aged man.

"Oh, has it finally arrived?" the man asked, and then said to the man who spoke just now: "Zhao Sheng, this road is too rushed, and everyone has not rested well, and they will find a place to stay in the town later, settle the sycophants, and let the brothers eat and drink well, and have a good rest." ”

"Yes, sir. After replying, he waited on the sidelines, seeing what the middle-aged man had to say.

I only heard the middle-aged man muttering: "The old man and Su'er have been traveling north for more than three months, and some time ago I wrote that I was on the way back to the rebellion, and I would send someone to pick me up at home in Beiwang Town, and I don't know if I have arrived." ”

Then he sighed and said: "Su'er is also messing around, if she doesn't go out to play with the old man, she blames this old man for spoiling this girl too much, otherwise how can she be so troublesome, hey." ”

"Let's get off the horse and enter the town, don't be too ostentatious, and the people here will not have a good impact. ”

"Yes, sir. After saying that, he ordered a few people to lead the horses and drive the carriage into the town slowly.

Shangshan Building, after dinner, Wang Lianqing put incense on the shrine, and bowed to the tablet of the ancestors of the Wang family, then heard someone shouting outside the door, so he went out to see, only to see a middle-aged man in brocade, the man in brocade saw Wang Lianqing who was wearing linen and filial piety and was stunned, Wang Lianqing saw that the middle-aged man was there and did not say, he spoke first: "What is the matter, sir?"

"It's rude, I'm here to find someone. The middle-aged man said apologetically.

"Oh, who?"

"Dare to ask the little brother, is there a white-haired old man and a little girl staying here, surnamed Su?"

"Oh, who's the gentleman?"

"I'm the one who came to pick them up. ”

Wang Lianqing knew that this person must be the person who came to pick them up as Mr. Su said. Wang Lianqing hurriedly said to the man: "Mr. Su, they do live here, sir, come with me, and I will take you there." ”

"Well, I'm tired of my little brother. ”

The man followed Wang Lianqing into the house, only to see the white paper and flowers inside, thinking that someone had just passed away, and thinking about how the old man could live here, not too unlucky.

Entering the backyard, I saw the grandfather and grandson sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and saw Wang Lianqing coming in, followed by a person, Su Su reacted first when he saw it, and hurriedly ran towards them, the middle-aged man behind Wang Lianqing suddenly spoke: "Slow down, be careful of falling." ”

Su Su, who came over there, came to his side, the man squatted down, opened his hands, Su Su rushed into his arms, hugged the man's neck, and called out coquettishly: "Dad." ”

The man hugged Su Su in his arms, stood up and responded: "Eh, my good daughter, I haven't seen you for so long, but I miss your father and me." After speaking, he kissed his little face.

Su Su also looked at the man happily and said, "I can also miss my father and mother, you finally came to pick me up and my grandfather home." At this time, Wang Lianqing knew that it was Su Su's father and the old man's son who came to pick up Mr. Su and Su Su.

The man happily touched Su Su's head and said, "Isn't this coming?" Your mother talks about you at home every day, but it annoys me to death, tomorrow we will go home to see your mother, and I will go to greet grandpa first." ”

Su Su said happily: "Okay." ”

The man walked towards Old Man Su with Su Su in his arms, walked to the side, put down Su Su, saluted the old man who was tasting tea, and said, "Dad, I'm here to pick you up and Su Su home." ”

The old man put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the man and said, "Oh, the journey is going well, are the carriages and horses ready?"

The man replied: "Hurry up, although the road has been covered by the wind and dust, it is still smooth, the carriage and horses and servants have been placed in the inn on the other side of Linhe Street, and we can set off early tomorrow morning." ”

"Then sit down, I have something to say to you. Old Man Su said to the man.

"Oh" the man did the opposite side of the old man.

The old man looked at Wang Lianqing on the side and said to him: "Xiaoqing, this is my eldest son Su Ruwen, Su Su's biological father." ”

Wang Lianqing just now knew that this person was Su Su's father, and just now he was an old man who was an old ornament, so it was inconvenient to visit. After being introduced by the old man, he immediately came over, clenched his fists at Su Ruwen and bowed, "Wang Lianqing has seen Uncle Su!"

The man smiled and nodded in agreement, clapping his hand to signal him not to be formal. Then the old man said to Su Su: "Su Su and your brother Xiaoqing go down first, I have something to talk about with your father." He also said to Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, you can go down too, I will call you again if there is something." ”

"Okay grandpa. Su Su happily came over and took Wang Lianqing's hand and left.

After they are gone.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

"This little brother who saluted you just now is the lifesaver of me and Su Su. ”

"What!" the man was shocked.

The old man said: "Don't make such a fuss, I'll tell you about the cause and effect of the incident." ”

After about a cup of tea, the old man Su told Su Ruwen what had happened in the past few days, Su Ruwen was worried in his heart, knowing that the old man was almost poisoned here, he was terrified, but fortunately he was blessed by the young man, and he was deeply ashamed that the old man and Su Su were involved in the shopkeeper here.

"I didn't expect that the thief ten years ago was not dead, and he dared to come to seek revenge. ”

"I didn't expect that I was almost killed by that villain, but then again, have you always sent someone to protect that brand? ”

"Dad, don't worry, it has been kept in the Xuan Pavilion, and someone will be sent to guard it day and night, and there will be no problems. ”

"That's good, it's an important thing related to whether anyone in the clan can see the sky. ”

"I know. ”

"I have one more thing to tell you. ”

"The boy who saved me and Su Su was implicated by me, his grandfather was killed, and when he was dying, he entrusted him to me, hoping that I could take care of him to grow up, I couldn't bear to be alone, and it was a life-saving grace for me and Su Su, so I agreed. The little guy is of good character, and he can endure hardships, I want you to accept him as a righteous son, you see how it is. Old Man Su said.

"Dad said so, what else can I say, just accept it, and it will be my third son in the future. Su Ruwen said.

"Then it is good, call him over, serve him a cup of tea, and dispense with all other complicated gifts. Favors must be reciprocated. ”

Hearing the old man's words, Su Ruwen nodded.

Called Wang Lianqing, the old man Su said to him: "Xiaoqing, entrusted by your grandfather on his deathbed, to take care of you in the future, my eldest son just happened to be here, and I want to accept you as a righteous son, so I have an identity, and I will not be bullied outside in the future. ”

Wang Lianqing nodded and agreed: "Pity my grandfather for being old and being victimized by bad people, and he can't die well, and I didn't give him a pension and send him to the end, but I kept filial piety for him, although it is okay to serve Su Bo as my father-in-law, but can I not change my name and want to keep the last bit of filial piety?"

Old man Su said: "You don't need to change your name and surname, you are still called Wang Lianqing, and you will be called by the elders in the family in the future, and when you get home, everything will be announced, you go and prepare some tea now, serve tea and worship, everything is simple." ”

Wang Lianqing responded: "Yes." ”

After a while, Su Ruwen sat there in the first seat of the inner hall, Wang Lianqing kowtowed to it three times, picked up the tea poured on the tea table, and read: "Father-in-law, please enjoy the blessing tea." ”

Su Ruwen: "Okay, I will receive a son today and bless my family." ”

Wang Lianqing knelt down in front of the old man again, kowtowed three more times, got up to serve tea, and said: "Meet grandpa and bless longevity." ”

"Okay, okay, we will be a family in the future, and we don't have to be formal. The old man laughed.

Su Su hurriedly ran over, supported Wang Lianqing, and called affectionately: "Third brother." ”

Wang Lianqing smiled at him, "Well, Sister Su." ”

Licheng, Wang Lianqing entered the Su family in this way.

A little later, Su Ruwen returned to the inn, and wanted to take Su Su over before leaving, Su Su disagreed, so he had to accompany his grandfather, Su Ruwen had to go back alone, and told the three of them to pack their luggage, come to pick them up early tomorrow morning, and leave by himself.

Nothing was said all night.

In the early morning of the second day, seven horses, six people and a car were waiting in front of the Shangshan Building.

After the three of them washed, they picked up the salute and went out, the three of them had no objects, the grandfather and grandson had a burden, and Wang Lianqing was a bookbox, which contained the remaining silver taels, two books taught by the private school and some change of clothes, and they were gone, and the things were put in the car, and after breakfast, they were ready to get in the car and leave.

Wang Lianqing looked at the town that was about to leave this small town where he had lived since he was a child, all kinds of bad feelings and worries about the future in his heart, and his friend sounded, it is estimated that he would not be able to see the last one, and he was secretly sad in his heart, and he didn't know when he would say goodbye, so he shook his head and got into the car.

At this moment, a voice called Wang Lianqing's name, only to see his friend Liu Jiren appear at the mouth of the alley not far away, and his fat body ran towards him, like a round ball of meat beating, Wang Lianqing felt very funny and his heart warmed, Wang Lianqing said to the man in the car: "Father-in-law, please wait for me for a while." ”

The man nodded and said, "Go ahead." ”

Wang Lianqing greeted Liu Jiren over, looked at him panting and said, "I'm bothering you to send it again." ”

Liu Jiren recovered for a moment and said: "What are you saying, come and take it, at this time, my mother's steamed buns are hungry and eaten on the way." And at this time, my father gave me two pieces of silver, although it was not much, but it was used as a coil on the road. After speaking, he handed it to Wang Lianqing.

Wang Lianqing refused: "Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu bothered, I will keep the buns, and I still have the silver, so don't accept it, you take it back." ”

The fat man forced into Wang Lianqing's arms and said: "The old man's heart, besides, your great gift cannot be repaid, this bit of entanglement makes their people feel at ease." ”

Hearing what Liu Jiren said, Wang Lianqing nodded and accepted it, hugged Liu Jiren, turned around and said, "I'm leaving, don't read it." "I didn't dare to look at him, I was most afraid of tears parting.

got into the car, only to hear the voice of the fat man from behind: "Qingshan does not change the road for a long time." ”

Choked up and replied: "Don't forget the end of the world." ”

The sound of the horse's hooves is a beautiful mistake, and the boy will go elsewhere.

......

......

Tears accompanied the horse's hooves to the south.
