In Qingshui Town, Li Mingli jumped out of the carriage and moved his muscles.

"Mother, it's getting dark, we haven't stopped in Fucheng, otherwise let's stay in the town for one night, presumably the second sister-in-law in the yard in the town on weekdays has also arranged someone to clean it, we should be able to live directly." Li Mingli stretched his arms and looked at the tired Wang in the carriage, even he was tired.

This way back, just because my mother said that the weather was sunny and the road was smooth, so I hurried to hurry up and go home early when I didn't go. So the mother and son didn't stop on the road longer. So that the road back was not much easier than when he went, Li Mingli was now sore, and he just wanted to find a bed to lie down for three days and three nights.

Wang gritted his teeth and supported his waist, still thinking that he could rush home early, and no matter how many houses his family was outside, he couldn't compare to the peace of mind of sleeping in Lijia Village. In fact, I was thinking about Old Man Li in my heart, this person who had spent most of his life together, after being separated for so long, he would miss him after all.

"Your father and they are all in the village, so there is no need for us to stay. As for the last trembling journey, our mother and daughter insisted on standing up, and went back early to feel steady. ”

"Hey, okay, let's go, one last bit of road." Li Mingli thought in his heart, he was tired like this, he didn't fall asleep wherever he was, but he didn't want to disobey the wishes of the Wang family, as a son, he naturally knew his mother's thoughts. After being away from home for so long, my mother must miss Lijia Village very much.

The carriage continued to move in the direction of Lijia Village, there was still a touch of red in the far sky, and Yue'er here was already quietly hiding behind the clouds, and there were no pedestrians on the road at this time, and the people in the carriage were sitting quietly with their last trace of energy.

In Lijia Village, Li Danian's family, who live at the entrance of the village, sounded like there was movement.

"There's the sound of a carriage!" Li Danian put down the sweet potatoes that he was scrubbing in his hand, and said to his daughter-in-law next to him that he was going to stand up and go to the village road to have a look.

"Is there a merchant coming? What are you doing here after this dark day? The eldest daughter-in-law asked.

"It doesn't look like it, why do I seem to see Mingli!" Danian rubbed his eyes, made sure that it was Li Mingli sitting next to the coachman, and immediately called out to his child to go to Li's house to inform Old Man Li.

"Tiger boy, go and call you Ping'an Ye, just say that your Uncle Mingli is back, no, your Grandma Wang is estimated to be back together. Hey, go quickly~"

The tiger boy got his father's order and ran out.

After the carriage walked in, Li Danian beckoned: "Mingli, is my aunt back?" ”

Mingli, who was sitting next to the coachman, smiled, looked at the big brother in front of him, and was silently happy in his heart, finally arriving home.

"Eh, Brother Nian, my mother and I are back, how are you in the village recently?"

Wang listened to the sound and motioned for Dongxiang to lift the curtain.

"Auntie." Li Danian and his wife greeted Wang again.

"Eh, how have you been?" Wang's face was tired, but he was still smiling.

"Okay! Auntie, you go home first, I have already asked Tiger Boy to go to the house to inform Uncle Ping'an. ”

Mingli stopped chatting, and the carriage continued to drive home. At this time, the people who lived on both sides of the village road already knew that the Wang family was back, and they came out to greet them, but everyone knew that they must be in a hurry to come home so late, and they must be tired when they rushed back, so everyone didn't talk much, and just let the carriage go back quickly.

On the Li Mansion's side, Old Man Li with Mingyi and his wife and little girl had already come out to wait, and everyone couldn't help but take a few steps to greet them. In the house, all the subordinates are busy, boiling water and cooking, and when the Wang mother and son can enter the house, they can wash away the dust and fill their stomachs.

"Daddy!" Li Mingli saw Old Man Li and others from afar.

"Eh~ Why did you get home so soon? I thought I would have to wait a few days. ”

Li Mingli said: "Isn't this in a hurry to go home!" ”

The carriage stopped in front of Li's house.

"Mother!" Mingyi and the others shouted Wang's, Mingmei and Wu Yi thought about stepping forward to help Wang's down, but they didn't expect to be preempted by Old Man Li.

"Let's go eat first, scrub and rest early." Old man Li looked at Wang as if he had lost a lot of weight.

The Wang family only slacked off from the moment he stepped into the gate of Li's house, only nodded, and didn't want to say a word, and was physically and mentally exhausted and let Old Man Li arrange it.

Li Mingyi also put his arm around Mingli's shoulder: "Third child, the beds are all made, eat and wash and go to bed, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

Mingli: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow." ”

"Okay, you lie down for a few more days, and finally get home and have time to chat!"

The family accompanied the mother and son to have a simple meal and dispersed, leaving the returnees to rest more.

In the dormitory of the main courtyard, Old Man Li brought Wang family foot washing water to soak his feet, and helped Wang scrub his back and scrub his hair simply. Wang can't take a bath like Li Mingli, his body is there, so he can only scrub it for a few days and then wash it well.

"Sleep!" After doing everything, Old Man Li let Wang lie down.

Wang's heart was comfortable, and he lay down and adapted for a while before slowly falling asleep.

Li Mingli insisted until he took a shower, lay on the bed with a pillow and fell asleep.

Today, the Li family is exceptionally quiet, and the people on duty at night have relaxed their steps.

The next day, Wang was woken up hungry, and Old Man Li stayed with him in the room.

"What time is it?"

When Old Man Li saw that the person was awake, he ordered someone to bring hot water and bring food.

"It's time! Is there anything uncomfortable? ”

Wang: "I'm sore. ”

Old man Li was a little distressed, and said, "I'll press it for you after eating, and I'll lie down and rest for a few days." ”

"Hmm." Wang's response.

Li Mingli, on his side, got up at noon, ate a meal and continued to sleep. Young people need to recover faster, and if they sleep more, they will be able to recuperate their spirits.

It took five days for Wang to recover before leaving the main courtyard. Wise got the letter, and also took a few days off from the school to rush back.

Li Mingli thought to himself, next time he and his mother are in a hurry, he can't be arranged by his mother, and his mother's body and bones can't withstand such a build.

"Mother, you taste this soup, I stewed it myself." Mingmei helped the Wang family serve a bowl of soup. After a few days of returning, the family finally sat down and had a meal together.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Wang looked at Li Mingmei more calmly, although his face was also a lot darker. I thought I was afraid that I would run out every day~

"It tastes good!" Wang took a bite and looked at Mingmei with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, my mother likes to drink it." turned his head and clamped a big stick bone for Mingli.

"Third brother, you have also worked hard, eat more to make up for it."

"Okay!"

After a happy meal, the family sat in the main courtyard and chatted.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, when they are short of people, I want to call some people over to help." Li Mingyi chattered, and after the third child came back, he pulled Mingyi to say a lot about Shiyang County, and the family also roughly understood the difficulties of Yunlan and Mingren over there.

"Do you have enough people on hand?" Wang asked.

Li Mingyi: "It's from our village. Before the sister-in-law wrote a letter to say, if the people in the village are willing to encircle some people to go, our soap shop, wine shop has cultivated a lot of people, I will ask when I arrive, if I am willing, I will arrange to help in the past, and not let them go there to settle down, just temporarily what is it called, um ~ expatriate, to the sister-in-law is so, the salary will be higher than at home. ”

Wang nodded: "You just need to arrange it." Then he turned to wisdom.

"Is the fourth child still going well in school?"

Wise now has more and more of a scholar's backbone, responding to Wang's: "Well, mother." I'm not in a hurry to take the exam now, and my daily studies are quite easy. I also thought that the next time there was a convoy to Shiyang County, I would follow over there to have a look. ”

Hearing this, Wang remembered Yuncheng's child. nodded, "It's good to go out and have a look, your eldest brother's side is too peaceful now." ”

Li Mingming didn't expect his mother to agree so readily, and hurriedly echoed happily, already thinking about when to go.

"Fourth, don't worry, when the time comes, organize the people and go together, you can't act alone." Mingyi Dao.

"You know, I'm measured."

"Who's in charge of the academy now?" Wang looked at Li Mingmei with a dark face.

Li Mingmei: "I... and the second sister-in-law, mainly the second sister-in-law. ”

"Oh~ Yi Niang also went to the school?" Wang looked at Wu Yi.

"Yes, mother, after Mama Cui left, the school couldn't recruit a suitable female gentleman for a while, so my little sister asked me to try, I thought that Niu Niu now has Mama Wu to help take care of it, and I agreed when I had time."

Mama Wu was sent by Wu Jiacheng to her daughter, not that she didn't believe in the Li family's arrangement, but she was really Wu Yi's daughter, so she was always thinking about it, and she wanted to arrange everything properly.

"Okay, it's good if you're happy!" Wang smiled and responded, knowing in his heart that Wu Yi was also thinking of helping Yunlan share some of the burden.

"I'm happy, being a gentleman these days has made me more aware of the difficulties of poor women." Wu Yi said sincerely, it is true to help Yunlan, but the sense of accomplishment that being a gentleman brings to him is also very real.

"What do you say about your in-laws?" The Wang family then cared about the Zhao family.

On the day when the Wang mother and son returned home, Li Mingyi sent someone to send the gift and family letter prepared by Zhao Yunlan to Zhaojia Village.

Old man Li said: "The in-laws thought that they would come to visit you when you were rested, but the others didn't say anything!" ”

"Well, maybe they'll need some time!" Wang thought about Yun Cheng's kid, and couldn't help but look at Ming.

"Going for a walk in the village today?" Old man Li saw that Wang was distracted, and opened his mouth to pull back Wang's thoughts.

"Okay, just go to the village chief's house and talk to Sister Guifang."

The children dispersed, and the husband and wife did not take anyone to the village chief's house. Old man Li took some of the gifts prepared by the Wang family and walked back, looking like Wang's guard, but Old Man Li didn't mind this, but was very happy to do these things.

Li Chunsheng and Wang Guifang received the husband and wife, and the four of them sat and drank tea and chatted for a while.

The Wang family was also happy for the child when he learned that Li Yuqing was happy, "Congratulations to Sister Guifang, now the children in the family are stable." ”

Wang Guifang smiled: "Hey, yes!" You're also fast, are you going to give the third thing this year? ”

Wang didn't give an affirmative answer, just looked at Wang Guifang with a smile.
