Chapter Twenty-Three: Coming to the Door

Shi Wantian was walking with his father on the way to the market, and he told his father: "That leader Lai Zhutou has been to Niu's house twice a few days ago, maybe they will go to Niu's house today." "Boss, we'd better leave other people's affairs alone, and don't talk nonsense. Shi Jinlin stopped Wan Tian from continuing. This was really said by Shi Wantian.

Lai Zhutou broke into Niu Chongtian's house, saw Xue Chunyan and said, "Sister-in-law, I know your son is back, what about the people?" Xue Chunyan replied casually. Lai Zhutou said to the men, "You two stay here and wait, and I will take a few people to his field to have a look." He turned to Xue Chunyan and said, "You can show me the way!" "I'm very busy, I have a lot of things to do at home, and besides, my family's land is not close or far away." Who has so much time to hang out with you. Xue Chunyan politely declined.

Niu Jianbin was very angry when he saw that the people in the yamen were so rude to his mother. He walked out of the door and said, "Don't be unreasonable, if you want to ask someone for help, then be polite." Just now, I won't care about your unreasonableness towards my mother, and I can go if I need to lead the way. However, if I have something to say, don't be too far away, if you want to be distracted, you will pull it down. As he spoke, he walked out. When Niu Jianbin heard that Lai Zhutou still wanted to keep people in his house, he muttered in his mouth. "Idiot, it seems that you can toss it quite well! I'm not afraid to walk my legs thinly, so let's toss back and forth vigorously!" Niu Jianbin's words were heard by Lai Zhutou. He felt that what they said was very reasonable, so he took them all away. Niu Jianbin led the people of the yamen to go out for a long time, and Lai Zhutou felt that he had been tricked by children. He was not angry but decided to leave, and when he was leaving, he said, "Child, go back and tell your family that if your brother does not leave the house, he will be caught by us sooner or later." After Niu Jianbin returned home, he said to his father: "That head catcher seems to be a good intention, he deliberately told me that if my brother never leaves the house, he will be caught by them sooner or later." Niu Chongtian learned that the people from the Yamen would come to look for his son. He said to Jianwen: "Son, it seems that you really need to go out and hide. We can't wait for someone to catch us! ”

The next day, the Lai catcher really brought someone to Niu's house again. Originally, Niu Jianwen wanted to stay for a few days before leaving, but now it seems that he wants to flee immediately to avoid being caught. "Son, you have to be careful outside, and if necessary, change your name and surname! I don't advocate that you become a bandit. Niu Chongtian advocated that his son should run away now, and when they were about to separate, he told him to take care of himself. Niu Jianwen insisted on saying goodbye to his mother and siblings. His father advised him, "Excuse me! If you hadn't been hiding in your old house today, it would have been dangerous. Niu Jianwen listened to his father's words and didn't insist anymore. Niu Chongtian took out all the money on his body and gave it to his son and said, "Son, our family has no money." You just take this money and go for it! You must be careful. Don't stay outside for too long. Father and son hugged each other and cried. That's when some of them came. Helplessly, Niu Chongtian pushed his son away and said let's go!. After Niu Jianwen looked at his father affectionately, he escaped over the wall of the old house.

Since Niu Jianwen ran away, that Lai Zhutou has never come to Niu's house again. Niu Chongtian thought: It seems that someone really reported to the Yamen, otherwise the people from the Yamen would not have come so timely. Who is this person who reported the news? He thought about it, there were only a few families in the whole village, who would do such a thing? After Niu Jianwen ran away, the atmosphere in the house was always very heavy, and the naughty Niu Jianbin stopped talking about making trouble, but only cared about reading and writing. Suisui is preparing to get married, and she has always been very happy on her face in the past, but now her smile is gone, and she only knows how to help her mother work. In the past few days, there has been a very serious topic in the family, that is, to analyze who is the person who reported to the yamen. After repeated scrutiny by everyone, the whole family agreed that the Shi family on the other side of the ditch was the most suspicious. Since then, the Shi family has become the great enemy in the minds of the Niu family.

On this day, someone came to knock on the door of Niu Chongtian's house. It was Niu Jianbin who opened the door, and when he opened the door, he saw three big men and a half-sized child standing in front of him. They also brought a lot of things with them, as if they were moving. The oldest man asked the person who opened the door: "Little brother, this is Niu Chongtian's big brother's home, right?" "Let me guess, you are Uncle Zai'an, right? This is the second uncle of Zaixing, and the third uncle of Zaiwang is you?" Niu Jianbin said confidently, and then shouted to the family, "Mother, hurry, come to the guest!" Niu Zai'an felt that this child was too smart and cute, and was about to reach out and hug someone. Niu Jianbin said, "Uncle, you are tired, go into the house and rest!" At this time, Xue Chunyan and her daughter came out. Xue Chunyan looked at it carefully and said, "Three brothers, I haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, and the changes are too great. Xue Chunyan invited them into the courtyard, moved two benches and invited them to sit in the courtyard, while instructing her daughter, "Daughter, pour water for the uncles to drink!" The three Niu brothers all said, "Hello sister-in-law!" The junior also said one more sentence than the two brothers, "Sister-in-law has been more than 20 years, you are still so beautiful!" Suisui heard that the mother was beautiful and happily continued: "My mother hasn't dressed up yet, ...... dress up" "Shut up! I'm not afraid of the uncles' jokes." After she stopped her daughter, she said to Zai'an and them, "Your eldest brother and two children are in the field! I will let Jianbin go to the field and call your eldest brother back." "Sister-in-law, we will have more opportunities to talk in the future! Don't call the eldest brother back." You are busy, let the little nephew take us to see the house you have prepared for us! Niu Zaian said with some embarrassment. Xue Chunyan felt that people needed to settle things, and said, "It's okay, go and see it first, and come here to get anything if you are missing." By the way, come here for dinner! You're welcome. The four of them, under the leadership of Jianbin, entered their future home. The little starling said happily: "Great, we have a home." I love this home. Niu Zaixing patted the little starling on the shoulder and said, "We are so lucky." "Thank you big brother and sister-in-law, you guys have cleaned up so well, we can live in it when we move in, we never thought it would be so good." Niu Zaian said to Xue Chunyan. "Don't be happy, let's work!" Niu Zaiwang nodded in agreement, and then urged everyone to work. On this day, Niu Chongtian, who was working in the field, and his son, the youngest son who was still sent by his wife, were called back in advance.

In the evening, Xue Chunyan prepared a very sumptuous banquet in order to catch the wind for the Niu brothers. There are fish, chickens, and eggs, and sweet potato wine is enough to drink. Ten people are divided into two tables, one for drinking and one for those who don't. Xue Chunyan took her youngest son, daughter, and little starling to eat inside. It was the first time for the little starling to eat in such a warm family, and he felt very happy. At this time, he was thinking, "How nice it would be if I had a father, a brother, and a sister!" Niu Jianbin saw the little starling crying and asked, "Why are you crying, are you homesick?" "I was moved to tears. Look how happy you are, how nice it is to have a father and a mother and a brother and sister! If it hadn't been for my uncle picking me up, I wouldn't be alive today. The more the little starling spoke, the more excited he became. Xue Chunyan stroked the little starling's head and said, "There are so many people in our two families who are your relatives, you won't be lonely." "Soon, the atmosphere of joy was restored. But the atmosphere outside was a little wrong, not as lively as it was at the beginning. Are you drunk? Not like. You see Niu Zaian holding his head in both hands and saying, "It's all my fault for being the eldest brother, the three brothers have been delayed for so many years in vain." Look, how nice it is for you to have four sons and a daughter! Look at us again, we are still three singles at such an old age. Thanks to the reminder of the eldest brother, it also helped us settle down so much. The second brother comforted the eldest brother and said: "Brother, I can't blame you, it's no way, just say that if it weren't for the eldest brother's help this time, I would still not be able to do it." The key to changing our fate is that we have met a good person like our eldest brother. "Yes, didn't I mention finding a wife, I can't do it. The second child is the most hopeful. When Niu Zaian said this topic, he didn't have hope for himself. The second brother raised the wine bowl and said to the third brother: "The third brother, the task of inheriting the family of our family will be handed over to you." Come and take a sip!" Niu Chongtian comforted Zai An and Zaixing and said: "Looking for a wife, can't you find a young one, can you still find a widow? Isn't it common for a forty-year-old to have a son? Don't be disappointed!" The third child took it and said, "Yes, big brother, you can't lose confidence, at least you have to find me a sister-in-law to accompany you!" Their conversation was overheard by Xue Chunyan, and she went to comfort the brother and said, "I will take this matter to heart, and now the first thing is to live a good life." "Since these three brothers moved to the Little Cow Village, they have lived a decent life.

Suisui finally got married, married to the big family on Xiao Li Village ten miles away. Her husband, Li Hongyuan, is a talented woman and is preparing to go to Beijing to take the exam after marriage! Her daughter got married, and the family is much quieter. Xue Chunyan felt very unaccustomed to it, and she couldn't think about it just a few days after leaving! She called her daughter's name from time to time, and then realized that the person was no longer around. Every time Niu Jianbin heard his mother call his sister's name, he would tell: "Mother, my sister is not at home when she gets married, so call me if you have something!"

On this day, when Xue Chunyan was burning the fire, there was no firewood. She shouted, and the girl went with firewood! So, her shout was heard by her younger son. When Niu Jianbin heard this, he hurriedly ran out to get firewood, and when he ran back with firewood and grass, he heard someone knocking on his door. "Wait a minute!" said Xiao Bin. Niu Jianbin handed over the firewood to his mother and opened the door. Niu Jianbin opened the door and saw two young men. He asked, "Is there anything wrong with the two eldest brothers?" "Little brother, is this Niu Jianwen's home?" Niu Jianbin saw them inquire about the eldest brother's home. I thought: It was sent by the eldest brother, and I nodded happily and said, "Yes, yes, I am his younger brother Niu Jianbin." "Are your adults at home?" I have something to say to them. Niu Jianbin thought: This eldest brother is so beautiful and speaks very well, he said while inviting people inside: "Father went to the field, mother is at home." Inside, please!" Niu Jianbin turned around and shouted to his mother in the house: "Come on, mother! Xue Chunyan was very happy when she heard her son's shout, and thought: But there is a letter from the eldest son. When she went out of the house and saw someone coming, she said, "The two sons have worked hard, please sit in the yard and rest and drink saliva!" She asked while walking into the yard with a stool: "Where is Jianwen now?" "Auntie, we are here to find your eldest son Niu Jianwen, why is he not at home?"
