After not seeing the return of the Kingdom Army for several days, Tian Mengqing couldn't sit still, handed over a leave of absence to the instructor, and she embarked on the return journey alone.

Bumpy all the way, finally came to the township, a few months without seeing, the township has undergone great changes, many vacant land has appeared buildings, the market has become more crowded, not caring about carefully observing these changes, Tian Mengqing is in a hurry to go home.

After asking about the carriage and horses who had not gone to Tianjia Village for a long time, the uncle who drove the ox cart saw that Tian Mengqing was pitiful.

"Come on."

Tian Mengqing was overjoyed and thanked him, but the uncle didn't seem to be from Tianjia Village, this face was vivid.

Tian Mengqing tilted his head from time to time to look at the uncle who was driving the car.

The uncle said funny, "What? Afraid I'll pull you to sell? Do you think this road is going to your Tianjia Village? ”

Tian Mengqing smiled awkwardly, she really had this worry in her heart, she was a pregnant woman, she saw the sinister world and had to guard against people.

Divert the topic.

"Uncle, looking at you, you're not from our village, are you?"

The uncle turned his head and glanced at Tian Mengqing, turned around and slapped the bullwhip on the cow's back more vigorously, the cow pulling the cart was in pain, and walked harder.

Tian Mengqing's heart tightened, this old man couldn't answer, could it be that he was really a human trafficker, the more Tian Mengqing thought about it, the more scared he became, and his heart was pounding up and down.

Finally, the old man spoke.

"I wasn't from your Tianjia Village before, but now I am."

？

"What do you mean by that?"

Tian Mengqing became more and more curious.

The uncle told Tian Mengqing about his poor life experience.

Uncle was originally a homeless man, he once fought bandits, served as a soldier, and was captured by the bandit leader.

When he was released, the world was already peaceful, but everyone in the village thought he was in the way and unlucky, so they walked around him, and did not let children get close to him.

Because he was away all the year round, his family's land was also scraped by the villagers, he had no land or a house, and he was old, so he could only be reduced to wandering.

When he came to Tianjia Village, it was Liu Meixiang who took him in and gave him food and clothes to wear.

"Wait, you said Liu Meixiang? How is she doing now? ”

Tian Mengqing interrupted the uncle's narration and was concerned about the Liu Meixiang he mentioned.

"Who are you?"

The uncle looked back at Tian Mengqing, and the answer was not what he asked, but asked Tian Mengqing suspiciously.

"I'm her granddaughter-in-law."

"Really?"

The uncle was overjoyed, he listened to Liu Meixiang talking about his grandson and granddaughter-in-law, and now that they are back, Liu Meixiang must be very happy.

"Are you Tian Mengqing?"

“？ How does Uncle know my name? ”

Tian Mengqing was even more puzzled, could it be that the person who took him in in the mouth of this uncle was grandma? Can grandma move?

Tian Mengqing couldn't wait to go home to see what was going on with Liu Meixiang, who hadn't seen her for a few months.

"I often hear your grandmother talk about you, is that young man who came back a few days ago your husband?"

"yes!"

"How is he now?"

"It's good, what, you guys quarreled? He was the only one who came back, and your grandmother kept complaining about why he didn't bring you back. ”

Hearing this, Tian Mengqing was already choked in his throat.

It turned out that Wang Guojun was safe and sound in his hometown, Tian Mengqing's hanging heart finally fell, and listening to the uncle's story, grandma seemed to have improved a lot.

An hour's journey, Tian Mengqing walked out of the feeling of thousands of miles, sitting on the ox cart tormentedly, with a team of goods behind her, and she didn't feel crowded.

"Uncle, you deliver goods like this every day, how is your business?"

Looking at everything in the car, flour, eggs, white rabbit toffee.

Now that small trucks are prevalent, how can the uncle pull goods like this, how can he rob those small trucks?

Tian Mengqing couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

Speaking of this, the uncle laughed proudly and said eloquently: "Business is good, the people in the village like me to bring them goods, one is that I collect cheap, no matter how much the goods are, it only costs one dollar, unlike those small trucks, which start at five yuan." ”

"Second, they know that I have been a soldier and a bandit, and they believe in my character very much, so they can rest assured that they will deliver all kinds of goods to me."

"So that's the case, so how much money can you make in total by running like this?"

The uncle glanced back at Tian Mengqing, this profit, except for Liu Meixiang, he never told outsiders, but this girl said that she was Liu Meixiang's granddaughter-in-law, so he naturally had nothing to hide.

"On this trip, there are many or too many of ten yuan and eight yuan, and when I came out, some people asked me to help bring things or take people out, and at the end of the day, there were always twenty yuan."

Hey, it does sound like a beautiful deal, Tian Mengqing took out two yuan and handed it to the old man.

"Uncle, this is your reward, thank you for sending me back."

"Hey, what's this for? How can I ask for your money, all the money I earn is for the two of you, I'm a bad old man, half buried in the soil, it's useless for me to ask for this money. ”

The old man's words made Tian Mengqing confused, what did he have to do with the two of them when he made his money, he just thought he was confused and said nonsense.

"Oh, you take it, this yard is one yard, you take me back, I have to thank you."

Tian Mengqing insisted on giving the old man money, but the old man turned the persistent Tian Mengqing and could only keep the money first.

Finally, I saw the mountain col of Tianjia Village.

Tian Mengqing shouted in surprise: "That's the mountain col of our village, there used to be adults here to scare me, when I was a child, I went to work in the field and passed here, and I was very scared of this place." ”

Tian Mengqing said, tears rolling in her eyes.

The old man pursed his lips and smiled, seeing Tian Mengqing's sadness in his eyes, he originally wanted to let his cattle rest for a while, but he still couldn't help but not speak, and continued to drive the cattle forward.

"It's here, it's here."

Tian Mengqing got off with difficulty, and the ox cart had to be parked at the shop at the entrance of the village, which was convenient for unloading and for everyone to pick up.

"Slow down."

The old man held Tian Mengqing's arm, for fear that she would fall.

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you, uncle."

The old man waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Tian Mengqing, who got off the ox cart, walked straight to the direction of his home.

Pedestrians on the road pointed, "Who is this person?" Why does it look so familiar. ”

"Hey, it's Tian Mengqing, my belly is already so big."

"The kingdom army came back two days ago, but he didn't bring Tian Mengqing, is it just for this child's business? Could it be that this child is not his? ”

The women in the village were chattering, thinking that they were talking in a whisper, but they were all listened to by Tian Mengqing.

At this moment, Tian Mengqing didn't have the heart to worry about them, she just wanted to go home quickly.
