When Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao left the capital, they were not too old.

He really didn't want to be oppressed by the emperor anymore, for fear that he would be like his father-in-law, so he would only resign and not return to his hometown, and he would have to be summoned to the palace by the emperor again if he couldn't rest for a few days.

Therefore, after he received the grace, he began to pack his things non-stop and prepare to return to his hometown.

Cheng Hao was a little speechless.

As for it?

"Father, mother, don't you want to guard your grandson? Also, the second child still doesn't know the news of your resignation, if my sister and brother-in-law know that you are leaving like this, then I can't agree. ”

Cheng Jingzhou didn't raise his head, and sorted out his things by himself: "She loves to promise or not, anyway, I'm not in the capital." I've worked hard for most of my life, and I just want to go back to my hometown with your mother to live a quiet life, and you don't bother us. ”

That's what he said, but how could Cheng Hao really let his father and mother return to their hometown like this?

The brothers and sisters discussed it, and they really came up with a way.

Cheng Hao's eldest son has only now won the show, and he will not participate in the township test this year, so he will have to wait for another three years, just take this opportunity to let him go out for a walk, and he can also be taught by his father, which is a good thing that can not only make his son promising, but also be filial piety in front of his elders.

After that, the little girl of the second family and the second son of the younger sister's family, as soon as they heard that they were going back to their hometown, they all packed up their burdens and followed.

What else can Cheng Jingzhou do?

Looking at the envious looks of these children, they said that they couldn't rush back.

Well, let's go together.

Emperor Longen sent a guard to personally escort Cheng Ge Lao back to his hometown, and also sent a plaque, which was a supreme honor.

In this way, Cheng Jingzhou took Xie Rongzhao back to his hometown slowly.

The reason why the little girl of the second family has been following Xie Rongzhao is because the child has been pleasing since he was a child, but her mother didn't want to see this daughter and wanted a son, and Xie Rongzhao was not too embarrassed for her daughter-in-law, so she simply took her granddaughter with her to raise her.

You must know that Xie Rongzhao is now the wife of Zhengyipin, even if Cheng Jingzhou resigns, but he still has the false title of Zhengyipin, he is not an ordinary person.

With such a grandmother teaching herself, the little girl's marriage in the future will not be wrong.

The Cheng family's hometown has already been renovated twice.

Today's Cheng family's old house is bigger than it was a few decades ago.

The big house in Wujin also carries things across the courtyard, and there are some old servants in the family, as well as the manpower that Cheng Jingzhou brought with them on this trip, which is also enough.

When Cheng's father passed away, Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao both came back to guard their filial piety, and the time was not very long, and the old servants in the family could still recognize them.

As for Cheng's mother, now Mrs. Tai, she has been supporting the elderly in the old house, since Cheng's father passed away, she insisted on staying in her hometown, and did not let Cheng Jingzhou and them come back, only saying that she had someone around to take care of her, and she didn't need him to bother more.

And that's exactly what happened.

There are a lot of juniors in the Cheng family, and one person comes over once a day, and it takes almost a month.

In addition, there are the grandmothers and maids specially arranged by Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao, so naturally there is no need to worry.

Now that they are back, Mrs. Cheng is also happy, and when she sees her great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters who have no impression, she can't wait to hug them all over and kiss her incense.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back! My wife can help you take care of the children again. ”

Mrs. Cheng's health has always been very good, and now she has three meals a day very regularly, no illness and no disaster, plus she is in a good mood, so she naturally looks young.

"Zhaozhao, come here, I'll take you to see the vegetables I grew myself, the West Cross Yard has been idle, so I'll let people reclaim it and plant some vegetables, it's good for us to eat it ourselves."

In fact, where does the Cheng family need Mrs. Tai to grow vegetables herself?

It's just that she's too idle, so I'm deliberately looking for something to pass the time.

"Mother doesn't raise flowers now?"

"Raise it! The flowers and plants also have to be tended, and I myself have nothing to do, so I will plant some more vegetables. Now that you're back, it's just right that our whole family has enough to eat. ”

Cheng Jingzhou returned to his hometown, and was received and flattered by officials from all over the country along the way.

Now back in Gaoyang County, the same county order personally went to the city gate to greet him.

There's no way, who made the family be Lord Shousuke.

Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao settled in and talked with Mrs. Tai, and then rested early.

I'm old, and I'm tired of traveling all the way, and I can't accept old age.

Cheng Jingzhou has been an official all these years, and he spends a lot of time sitting, even if he has the habit of practicing martial arts, he still suffers from low back pain.

So before Xie Rongzhao rested, he still gave him a careful massage.

When they woke up the next day, they were both in good spirits.

"Yes, Zhaozhao's method is still so good. I feel as light as a swallow again. ”

Xie Rongzhao scolded him angrily: "I'm old, don't come nonsense!" ”

Cheng Jingzhou laughed twice and flattered: "Don't worry, I've been listening to you at home for most of my life, and I can't mess around." ”

The husband and wife went to greet Mrs. Tai, and then accompanied Mrs. Tai to have breakfast together.

Mrs. Cheng asked them one by one how they were resting, and asked them what they were not comfortable with, and then hurriedly let them go to dinner.

After Xie Rongzhao and Cheng Jingzhou rested at home for two days, they went to visit several of their Zhuangzi.

They have two granges in Gaoyang County, one of which was left by Cheng's father, and one was purchased by Cheng Jingzhou later.

As for Xie Rongzhao's purchase, they are basically all in the capital, and later they also bought some properties in Fucheng, and now that someone is taking care of it, she doesn't need to worry about it.

Xie Rongzhao still misses running around the mountains with his fourth brother when he was a child, how good it was at that time, unrestrained.

The couple threw their grandchildren in the old mansion, and the old lady helped to take care of them, and they lived directly on the Zhuangzi for five or six quiet days.

Cheng Jingzhou originally didn't know how to farm, but later Langzhong, who was the Tuntian Division of the Household Department, went to Beidi and personally examined it, so he still understands these things.

It's just one thing to understand, and it's another thing to get started in person.

Fortunately, he was also self-aware, and he just watched the peasants work in the fields, and he didn't follow to add to the chaos.

As for Xie Rongzhao, she really doesn't know how to do farm work, but she is a good woman, she has been idle for the past few days, so she sits in the yard, listens to the sound of Cheng Jingzhou dancing the sword, slowly makes him bedclothes, and occasionally looks up, lest he move too much and hurt his waist.

Many people think that Cheng Jingzhou should not retire so early, at least for another five years.

But Cheng Jingzhou is not the kind of person who loves power, he still wants to enjoy a loving life with his wife, and he can't just live in those calculations and government affairs all the time.

He is not short of money or fame, and now he is like this, isn't it more comfortable than working all day long?

As the sun fell, the couple looked at each other and smiled in unison, it turns out that happiness is so simple!
