When Zhou Cun came back from the school, he was holding something in his hand.

"It's an invitation sent by my father-in-law. Six days later, it will be his 40th birthday, and I invite our family to go. Zhou Cun announced.

Qin Shu recalled, as if her father had his birthday in June.

Wang's complexion was better than that of normal people, and his mood was also very good, so he smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together." ”

Ze'er and Xinxin are very curious about their grandfather's house, so they naturally want to go too.

"Okay, then it's decided, let's go, Xiaolan will go too."

Xiaolan is also very excited, she came out of the Qin Mansion and has always regarded the Qin Mansion as her home, and she is also looking forward to going back this time.

Wang suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I haven't been to the county seat for several years, why don't you go ahead this time, let's have a good time in the county first, what do you husband and wife think?" ”

Zhou Cun subconsciously looked at Qin Shu, and when he saw that Qin Shu said yes, he also agreed.

"In this way, let's pack up today, and we will take a day's car ride to the county seat. Just bring some important things, don't bring the rest, and we'll leave tomorrow morning. Brother Mao, you can talk to the village chief tonight and take a few days off. ”

"Okay, mother." Zhou Cun responded.

"By the way, daughter-in-law, what should Bai Yun do?" Wang asked Qin Shudao.

Qin Shu thought about it, Bai Yun couldn't take it, after all, it wasn't the Zhou family, "When she comes back, let her take her brother to stay in the Zhou family for ten days and half a month, and there will be people watching at home when we are away." ”

Wang nodded, "That's all it can be." ”

In the afternoon, everyone began to prepare for themselves.

Qin Shu and Wang each packed up the clothes they wanted to bring, rolled them into a bag, and the two of them began to prepare the dry food for everyone to eat on the road.

Xiaolan also went to prepare and clean up by herself.

Zhou Cun went to the village chief's house after school in the evening, explained the situation to the village chief, and took a seven-day vacation.

The village chief naturally wouldn't stop him, and he nodded in agreement.

"On my behalf, I wish him a long life and a hundred years of life, be careful on the road."

"Okay, goodbye, village chief."

The village chief's name is Wang Dexin, who is of the same clan as the Wang family, and has been taking care of orphans and widows over the years, and is quite enthusiastic, and is a good village head.

——

In the middle of the night, about ten o'clock, the people in the village had already fallen asleep.

Outside the door of Zhou's courtyard, there was a strange sound, it seemed to be the sound of stones hitting the wall, Xiaolan slept relatively lightly, and woke up when she heard this sound.

I don't know who it is, but it is most likely the Bai Yun sisters and brothers, they don't dare to show up during the day, maybe they choose to come out at night.

So Xiaolan knocked tentatively a few times across the wall, and soon, there was a response from the other side.

"Bai Yun, is that you?" Xiaolan gathered her hands into a trumpet shape and whispered to the wall.

Almost immediately, Bai Yun's crisp voice sounded on the other side of the wall: "It's me, Sister Xiaolan." ”

Xiaolan tried to reduce the range of her movements, but she still woke up Qin Shu, who was sleeping on another bed in the room.

I saw Qin Shu turn over and face Xiaolan, muttering, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiaolan pointed to the wall, "It's Bai Yun who is back." ”

Hearing this, Qin Shu turned over again and said, "Let them come in." ”

Qin Shu was so sleepy that she closed her eyes and fell asleep after saying this.

Xiaolan put on her cloak and walked out of the room to open the door for them.

Outside the courtyard, Bai Yun's eyes were shining, and she was holding a thin boy in her hand, also with black and bright black eyes, looking at Xiaolan who came out to open the door expectantly.

"Sister Xiaolan." Seeing Xiaolan come out and open the door, Bai Yun's whole heart was put down, the Zhou family really took them in!

At the same time, the panic and fear in their hearts were gone, and they were safe.

"This is my brother, Bai Zhou."

Xiaolan didn't speak, took Bai Yun's hand and came in, and then closed the door.

"It's so late, it's time to rest, I've already cleaned up two rooms for you, it's just a little small, let's do it." Xiaolan held Bai Yun's hands affectionately.

Bai Yun felt warm in her heart, "It doesn't matter, it's good to have a place to live." ”

So, Bai Yun and Bai Zhou sisters and brothers lived in Zhou's house.

Somehow, they felt that they had slept very comfortably that night, and they had temporarily forgotten the situation when their father had just died and their creditors were chasing them.

Until dawn the next day, Bai Yun woke up, but through the window, she saw that the Zhou family was carrying a burden, as if they were going to go far away.

Bai Yun quickly got dressed and got up and walked to the courtyard.

Xiaolan saw her come out, so she pulled her aside and explained: "Sister Qin Shu's father will be forty years old in a few days, we all have to go to the county seat to celebrate his birthday, you are here these days, don't go anywhere, I'm afraid that the people in Zhangjiaqian Village outside will be looking for you all the time, but be very careful." ”

"After all, we owe money to Qianzhuang, and now that the house in our family is gone, our sisters and brothers are not going anywhere, and when we earn money in the future, we will naturally pay back the money."

"Okay, those people in Qianzhuang are too ruthless, you two can't help it, let's do this for the time being, don't think too much, everything will be fine." Xiaolan comforted.

At this time, Qin Shu came over, and Bai Yun immediately knelt down. Qin Shu hurriedly helped her up and said, "Don't do this. ”

"I didn't save you in vain, I need your sister and brother in the future, don't shirk it." Qin Shu patted Bai Yun's head.

Bai Yun is very thin, her hair is a little yellow, as if she is malnourished, but her facial features are very delicate, if she is well raised, she must be a little beauty.

Qin Shu is actually quite face-oriented, and when she treats beauties, she naturally has to be soft-hearted.

"Sister Qin, I can do laundry, cooking, and housework, and I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future." Bai Yun recommended herself.

"Well...... this" Qin Shu looked at her and thought about it, Bai Yun was only fifteen years old, and she was a middle school student in modern times, so let her work, no.

She had to learn.

"No, this way, you can hide from my house for a while, and when I come back, I will arrange it for you. You can use the kitchen at home. Qin Shu shook her head.

"Well, thank you, Sister Qin Shu." Bai Yun is very well-behaved and doesn't argue anything.

Qin Shu looked at the well-behaved and annoying girl, and couldn't help but pat her little shoulder, "Okay, we're leaving, bye~~"

Qin Shu smiled and waved her hand, and went out with Zhou Cun of the Wang family.

To go to the county seat, you can pass through the town, so a few people still take an ox cart to the town, and then rent a carriage from the car rental agency in the north city of the town.

Renting a car is charged by the number of days, and Qin Shu paid the deposit first, and then gave all when he came back.

With a horse-drawn carriage, it is much easier to get around.

However, Ningjiang County is still quite far away, and it takes more than half a day to take the carriage.

From now on, you will probably arrive at the county seat in the evening.
