Chapter 321: Returning Home (2)

The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and the ground looked a little wet the next morning, but it didn't affect the continuation of the journey.

The group that returned home did not delay much, and set off after having breakfast in a hurry.

"I don't know if Qing'er has been crying in the past two days?" Zhao Yunlan thought about her little daughter, and the most reassuring thing about going home this time was her daughter.

"With the old master and the young master here, and Mama Cui taking care of it, the young lady will be fine." Haruka comforted.

Shiyang County, it has rained for several days, Qing'er has been crying for several days, getting up every day to find her mother, crying if you can't find it, the villain can't bear it or is sick. Although it was not a big problem to ask a doctor to see it, it still scared Li Mingren a lot. Mama Cui doesn't dare to relax when she takes care of Qing'er every day.

Finally, when the sky was clear, Qing'er was much better, but she looked at Mama Cui and said, "I want my mother."

Listening to Qing'er's words, Mama Cui was a little surprised, and coaxed in her arms: "Ouch, Miss is good, let's drink porridge first, and Mrs. will come back after a while."

Qing'er should have understood, and opened her mouth to mean that she wanted to drink porridge, and the little girl didn't cry again when she got up in the morning a few days later, but when she saw everyone, she had to say "I want my mother!"

Zhao Yunlan and the others on the way hurried slowly, and met Li Dashan and his party who were delivering wine to the north on the way to the wilderness. The place they met was not suitable, and everyone left after a brief conversation.

"It's almost time to get to Shangyang County." Li Mingyi was drinking a bowl of hot soup.

Because of the rain, the convoy stopped, and Li Hua led people to find a broken thatched house nearby to temporarily shelter from the rain.

"Madame, this is leaking everywhere, put on your cloak." Chun Xiang took out a fur collar cloak from the package and wanted to put it on Yun Lan.

Zhao Yunlan also felt a little chilly and didn't dare to be strong.

"Fortunately, the roof doesn't leak, and it's okay to block it around, otherwise you can only nest in the car."

Li Hua and the others unloaded the carriage and leaned against the door, and the roof of the carriage was covered with oiled paper. All four horses were led to the middle of the hut and crowded with the people. Zhao Yunlan took the three maids to lean on each other inside, and a small pile of torches was lit beside her. Li Mingyi's brothers were outside with guards and small servants, and they also lit a fire, with four horses in the middle.

Along the way, the weather was obviously much colder, and the rain was even more chilly, and the people in the hut could only rely on each other to keep warm.

After sitting in a hut all night, almost no one could sleep well, but fortunately the rain stopped at that time. Although it was still dark, Zhao Yunlan and Li Mingyi discussed it and decided to go on the road and rush to Shangyang County early to let everyone have a good rest.

When the horse ran to the end, he finally entered Shangyang County, and Li Mingyi found an inn near the city gate and took everyone to live in.

"Rest well, everyone." Zhao Yunlan gave a simple instruction, then went back to the room and lay on the bed to rest, not even wanting to eat.

After Chunxiang and the others finished serving the master, they simply took a few mouthfuls of food and hurried to rest.

When Zhao Yunlan woke up, it was already the second day, and Chunxiang was already standing aside waiting to serve.

"You got up so early, can you rest?" Zhao Yunlan asked with concern.

Haruka: "Well, the slave has already rested."

Seeing that Chunxiang was in good spirits, and her face did not show tiredness, Zhao Yunlan put her mind at ease, although she was used to serving servants, she couldn't do anything to treat her subordinates harshly.

Chunxiang waited for Zhao Yunlan to freshen up, and shouted for food to be delivered.

"The second master said that it was raining, so let everyone rest a little longer, and don't rush to the road."

When she got up early in the morning, Zhao Yunlan didn't have time to look outside, and she didn't know that it was raining.

"Hmm." Zhao Yunlan, who had slept for a while, already had a strong sense of hunger at the moment, but she didn't dare to gobble it up, and still ate breakfast slowly.

After eating breakfast, Zhao Yunlan took Chunxiang to count her luggage, and the rain outside the window gradually became lighter.

Li Mingli went to the stables in the backyard of the inn to look at the horses, and then circled around the inn, and the rain had stopped.

"Second brother, are we leaving?"

"I also said where you ran away, and you couldn't find anyone anywhere." Li Mingyi

was sitting and drinking tea, the fourth child was reviewing his homework on the side, and Yun Cheng also picked up a book casually and looked at it.

"I went downstairs and walked around, and I didn't run around, and the rain stopped outside." Li Mingli wanted to go and pack his luggage.

The second said, "Don't worry, wait for another job." Let's leave an hour later to let the big guys rest more."

Mingli also knew that the ground was wet, and the horses were struggling to run, and their mouths should say "good", but the action of cleaning up their hands did not stop.

Li Mingzhi couldn't help but smile when he saw the third brother's anxious appearance, and said clearly, "Don't laugh at your third brother, you don't have to worry about the big things in your life. You'll know how anxious you are when you get to this day."

Lee Ming-ming: "......"

Mingli, who was teased, was embarrassed to get up, but the movements in his hands still didn't stop, just waiting for a while to set off, and then get on the bus with his luggage, without delaying time at all.

An hour was very fast, and Zhao Yunlan took a nap for a while and arrived, but Li Mingli felt that life was difficult when he went in and out.

"Let's go!"

The carriage continued to walk in the direction of Jinzhou City, and it was getting dark that I saw the faint fire in the village in front of me.

"It should be Xiaojia Village in front, let's go there and spend the night!" Zhao Yunlan instructed Li Hua, who was driving the car outside.

Li Hua got the order, passed the message to the three brothers in front, and the carriage walked towards the village. By the time the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, the village chief of Xiaojia Village was already waiting here.

Most of the villagers in Xiaojia Village have long practiced the ability to listen to sound and distinguish tourists, and part of the income of Xiaojia Village is to rely on reception and overnight accommodation to make a living.

The group got out of the carriage, and the Li Mingyi brothers had already known the village chief Xiao, and they had already stayed overnight when they went to Shiyang County and ran in the capital.

"Village Chief Xiao, we're here to disturb again." Mingyi stepped forward to greet him.

Zhao Yunlan also followed, "Village Chief Xiao, bother."

"This ...... It turns out that Zhao Niangzi and Second Master Li are a family." Village Chief Xiao was surprised for a moment, so he reacted and smiled in return, Village Chief Xiao understood that he would not reveal too much of his identity information when he went out, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Li Mingyi: "This is my sister-in-law, and I also asked Village Chief Xiao to arrange a room, we will rest early and rush back tomorrow."

"Guests come with me, there is still a vacant room in my house today, just enough for you to rest."

Walking into the village, I already saw a number of horses and ox carts hanging in the courtyards of each house. The accommodation business in Xiaojia Village is doing well, Zhao Yunlan thought in her heart. Village Chief Xiao is not a person with exclusive interests, as long as he encounters suitable guests, he will be assigned to each family according to the number of people.

"Village Chief Xiao, I don't know if Granny Liao has been in good health recently?" Zhao Yunlan remembered the family where she stayed before, an old woman with two children.

Village Chief Xiao: "Hey, I'm old, and I often have some old problems. Today, a team of three people was arranged to live in the past, and now the big dog and the child can also take care of things. Speaking of this child, now that he has become better, I have to thank Zhao Niangzi and Li Xianggong for their teaching."

"Where to teach, it's just to give the child some encouragement, that child is not bad in the first place, but needs some correct guidance."

While talking, the group came to the village chief's house. The village chief's daughter-in-law knew that she would bring people to the house, so she had already boiled hot water.

"Count your luggage first, the room is empty, and the key is here. The horses were given to my youngest son to feed, and the hot water will be boiled in a while. At this time, we can only cook some noodle soup, and everyone can simply deal with it and warm up their bodies." The village chief's daughter-in-law had the expression of a lucky cat, and greeted everyone happily.

Zhao Yunlan thanked her, but her eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of Granny Liao's house, thinking that it was not good to disturb people at night if they had guests.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yunlan got up and looked at the light outside.

Haruka listened to the movement and hurriedly got up and dressed.

"Leave me alone, you sleep yours."

Chunxiang insisted on getting up, Zhao Yunlan didn't stop her anymore, and the two little maids who were sleeping next to her also got up. The master and servant got dressed and came out, and the kitchen was already cooking on the fire.

Chief

The daughter-in-law came out listening to the movement,

"Oh, why didn't Mrs. Zhao sleep more? I'm hungry, I'm not ready to eat on this stove."

"I'm not hungry, auntie. I'm used to waking up early on weekdays, you're busy, I'll go out for a while and come back to eat."

After that, he took Chunxiang out of the yard, leaving the two maids to pack their luggage.

Zhao Yunlan wanted to go to see Mrs. Liao, and last night she heard from the village chief that the guests of Mrs. Liao's house would leave early in the morning, and when she got up in the morning, she heard the sound of a carriage passing outside, presumably a guest of her house.

After a while, I arrived at Mrs. Liao's house, and "Mrs. Liao" Chunxiang came forward and knocked on the door, and it was a little girl who came to open the door.

"You're looking for my grandma?" The little girl looked at the person in front of her with a familiar look.

Zhao Yunlan stood up from behind, "Xiaoya, do you remember me?"

「…… Auntie!"

"It's me, your grandmother and brother?"

Xiaoya: "Auntie sit in the house quickly, brother, brother, Aunt Zhao is back."

The big dog listened to the shouting outside, and thought that something had happened to the little girl, so he hurriedly ran out, and stayed straight in place when he saw someone coming.

"Aunt Zhao."

"Big dog, long time no see."

Only then did the big dog come back to his senses and hurriedly took Zhao Yunlan into the hall.

"Where's your grandmother?" After sitting down, Zhao Yunlan hadn't seen Mrs. Liao yet, so she couldn't help asking.

The big dog's face was gloomy, and he said in a dumb voice: "Grandma is lying on the bed, a few days ago there was a rain and a cold, and she didn't get better after taking medicine."

"Would you like to ask the doctor to take a look?"

"Grandma won't let me, she said just drink some medicine." The medicine was still left before, and it had been cooked several times, and Mrs. Liao was afraid of wasting money and wanted to save it for the children.

Zhao Yunlan wanted to go to see Mrs. Liao, but was stopped by the two children, worried that her grandmother would be sick and give the guests.

"Auntie's health is fine!"

Zhao Yunlan took a child in one hand and took it into the house, the room was quite clean, and Mrs. Liao leaned on the bed and looked at the people who came in.

"Zhao Niangzi, let you worry about it but can't get up to entertain you, see it."

Listening to the voice of the old man in front of him, Zhao Yunlan was worried: "It's okay, you have a good rest, you should see the doctor or take a look, don't delay the condition."

Mrs. Liao: "I know my body, don't worry, I'll be fine in a few days. Big dog, little girl, you take Mrs. Zhao out to rest, I'll sleep for a while."

Zhao Yunlan knew that Mrs. Liao was afraid of infecting herself with the cold, but she was really in poor spirits, so she didn't want to consume Granny Liao's energy anymore, so she didn't stay in the house and took her two children outside.

"Were yesterday's guests entertained by your two siblings?"

The big dog nodded, the melancholy on his face still did not dissipate, it seems that the big dog has grown a lot during this time.

Looking at the sky, Zhao Yunlan knew that she couldn't delay it, so she gave Chunxiang a look, and then took the two children to the yard, and only said, "You take care of grandma."

Waiting for Chunxiang to come out later, Zhao Yunlan said goodbye to the two children.

When I returned to the village chief's house, the meal had been set, and the brothers were waiting for Zhao Yunlan to come back and eat together.

"Eat, let's go home." Zhao Yunlan sat down at the table and beckoned everyone to eat. After all, the conditions were limited, so there was no separate table to eat, and everyone hurried to eat breakfast and left.

In the carriage, Zhao Yunlan asked, "Where did you put your silver?"

"The slave and maid put it under the pillow, and I guess I can find it when I sleep at night."

It was night, and the big dog lay on the bed only to feel that his head was touched, and he reached out and touched it like a cloth bag. I took it out by the moonlight and opened it and looked at it, and there were a few scattered pieces of silver lying in it, adding up to ten taels. This is specially packed with loose silver, which is convenient for big dogs to use for flowers.

Tears had rolled to both sides of his cheeks, and the big dog thought about his aunt who came to the house in the morning, about his grandmother lying on the bed, and about his sister's frozen cracked hands. I silently planned to go to the doctor when I got up tomorrow.

Here, Zhao Yunlan and his party rushed to Jinzhou City when the last city gate was closed, and the carriage went straight to the house in Jinzhou City.

After washing up, Zhao Yunlan lay on the bed and thought: Although she arrived at her own house, she couldn't sleep well tonight, she had to get up early tomorrow morning, and she could go out of the city as soon as the city gate opened. That's it, ninety-nine steps have been taken, and this last step must not be slackened, otherwise tomorrow's journey will be boiled.

Early the next morning, as soon as the city gate opened, the Li family's carriage was the first to go out. At the last point of the journey, Li Mingli was clamoring to catch the carriage, Li Mingyi also went with him, the second carriage sped up and ran with the horse in front, Zhao Yunlan only felt that the carriage was running more bumpy.

"Madam, the third master is driving the carriage in front." Li Hua explained.

Zhao Yunlan couldn't help but smile, it seems that the most anxious person in the group is the third child.

"Well, keep up, we'll get home sooner."

"Yes."

Zhao Yunlan didn't stop when passing by Xihe County, and the restaurants in Fucheng didn't have time to take a look, and the county didn't have time, so the carriage went straight to Lijia Village. When I arrived at the entrance of Lijia Village, it was already midnight.

"Why are there torches at the entrance of the village?" Zhao Yunlan looked at the light in front of her.

Haruka shook her head.

But the people of the village had already laid down and got up at the sound of the carriage.

"It's a carriage to the Li family."

"Hmm."

Everyone was discussing in the house, but they did not come out again to see the excitement, and now every once in a while there are carriages entering the village, sometimes during the day, sometimes in the middle of the night, and only then two torches were set up at the entrance of the village.

The people of Lijia Village didn't know that it was Zhao Yunlan who came back this time, after all, the Wang family did not reveal the letter when they received it.

When the carriage arrived at Li's house, Zhao Yunlan jumped out of the carriage and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was Li Zhongyou who came to open the door, "Madam, the second master, the third master, the fourth master, and the third master of the in-laws are fine, but they are back."

"Why are you here to open the door?" Where's the porter?" Zhao Yunlan asked.

"The little one asked the porter to go to the main courtyard to report, and the little one has been staying here for the past few days."

Zhao Yunlan was a little relieved, this Li Zhongyou was a thoughtful person, but said, "Daddy and mother, they are all asleep, there is no need to wake them up, we can simply clean up."

Li Zhongyou: "The old lady and the old lady have already ordered that no matter how late it is, they must report it."

As he was talking, Wang and Old Man Li came out together, and Li Mingmei and Wu Yi also followed.

"Father, mother, brother and sister, little sister." Looking at the family, Zhao Yunlan suddenly wanted to cry, but her eyes were red, and no tears flowed, but fortunately, it was dark and the lights were dim, so she couldn't see it.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, I've already let the kitchen cook noodles, take a bite and then go and rest, Yuncheng You are also here tonight, tomorrow my aunt will send someone to take their in-laws over and we will have a reunion dinner." Wang's voice was already a little choked.

Zhao Yuncheng: "Well, thank you, auntie."

"Don't thank the family."

"Sister-in-law, I miss you." Li Mingmei came up and held Zhao Yunlan.

Wu Yi also winked at Zhao Yunlan before turning his head to look at Li Mingyi, which made Li Mingyi a little surprised.

When the family entered the house, no one asked, Wang and Old Man Li watched the children who had returned home eat, and watched everyone go back to the house to rest before ordering:

"Loyal friends, let everyone move softly tomorrow morning, don't make these children rest, just eat breakfast in their respective yards."

Li Zhongyou: "Yes, old lady."
