Chapter 291: Homesickness
The servants brought breakfast, and the juniors served the old man and washed up, and put a thin hat on him.
In order to heal the injury, the doctor who used to do so shaved off a large piece of his left hair, and he had to wear a hat to cover it.
After tidying up, the juniors helped him to sit at the dining table, and the family began to eat breakfast lively.
The old man lay down for a long time, and could not eat too much at one time, so he was only allowed to drink a small bowl of shredded porridge and wait for two days before eating normally.
As soon as he put down the chopsticks, the family of the child he saved came, and they were stunned for a moment when they saw the old lady sitting on the chair in good spirits.
Then she saw Jiang Wenyuan and Jiang Yuqing next to her, and instantly understood that this was the granddaughter of the old man's miracle doctor.
Obviously, when he came yesterday morning, he only had one breath left, but he sat here in good spirits and chatted all night.
I have to say that this queen mother of Great Xia has really powerful medical skills, and she can't accept it.
The Yu family greeted the old man, gave him a gift, and asked the child to kowtow to the old man himself.
The grace of saving lives is like regenerating parents, and this head must be knocked on.
The Yu family wanted to kowtow to Jiang Wenyuan and Jiang Yuqing again, so she stopped her: "This is not the capital, so you don't have to pay attention to those false courtesies." ”
The family sat here for a while, talked a few words with the old man, and because there was still something to do in the field, they took their leave and left.
As soon as he left, the families of the boys who caused the trouble also came with the culprits.
When I entered the house, I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat, and I kowtowed again and again to make amends.
Old Man Lu doesn't care about it anymore, and Jiang Yuqing can't continue to hold on to these bear babies.
Just tell them that the adults don't just work with their heads down, and the upbringing of their children is also very important.
Children are the future of a family, and if a child destroys the family, it will be over.
A few families are the only ones.
It is said that the parents of the children who caused the accident are sensible.
Knowing that his child had made a big mistake, he didn't cover it up, so he took it home and smoked it hard, he should lose money and lose money, and he should take the medicine fee.
The Lu family didn't lack those few pieces of silver, so let them take them back.
Several families couldn't get over it, so they bought tonics such as meat, eggs, and chickens, and sent them to the Lu family every day, and their attitude of making amends was very sincere.
They even planned for the worst, if the old man really left because of this, then their family would give the old man linen and filial piety.
After that, I will send the bear child who caused trouble directly to the Lu family as a subordinate.
Fortunately, the queen mother rushed back from the capital, and Old Man Lu was saved, otherwise their conscience would not be stable for the rest of their lives.
Jiang Wenyuan and Jiang Yuqing accompanied Mr. Lu in Xiushuiwan for two days, and then temporarily bid farewell to the Lu family.
I went into the city to buy a whole car of gifts and pulled them back to Xijindu.
Approaching the hometown, on the way back to the village, Jiang Wenyuan, who had few opponents, was a little nervous.
Ask your daughter-in-law and daughter, "Is it okay for me to dress like this?" Will it make others think I'm on top of it? ”
The two women covered their mouths and smiled.
Lu said: "Look at you nervous, you know, you are going back to your hometown, and those who don't know think that you are going to see Your Majesty for the first time." ”
After a while he asked, "Are these gifts enough, and if not, we'll go back and buy some." ”
Jiang Yuqing comforted his father with a smile: "Enough is enough." The uncles in my hometown don't point to us for this thing, and they will be happy when you go back. ”
Jiang Wenyuan let out a long sigh and said: "Since I left Qingzhou, more than ten years have passed, and this is the first time I have returned to my hometown.
When you enter the office, you can't help yourself. ”
While speaking, the carriage had already arrived at the entrance of the village.
Hearing that they were coming back, the old and young people in the village waited at the entrance of the village early in the morning, looking forward to it.
Still far away, Jiang Wenyuan saw the familiar big maple tree at the entrance of the village, and the dense villagers and people under the tree, and the whole person instantly became excited.
When there were still more than a dozen battles away, he asked the coachman to stop the car, turned over and jumped out of the car, and ran quickly towards the entrance of the village.
Seeing him get out of the car, the lively sound of firecrackers immediately sounded, welcoming the distant wanderer back to his hometown.
Both sides were thrilled to meet.
The carriage came to him, and Jiang Yuqing and Lu also got out of the car with the child in their arms.
The villagers wanted to kneel down and salute, but Jiang Yuqing stopped them.
"In my hometown, you don't have to pay attention to those false courtesies, how you called me in the past, and how you still call me now, I feel more cordial."
After a good greeting at the entrance of the village, Jiang Wenyuan took his wife and children back to the old house surrounded by everyone.
Although the Jiang family moved to the capital, there is still a house of people surnamed Yang here, who take care of the fields of the hometown and guard the family's old house.
Now that the owner is home, the old mansion that has been cold for many years is lively again.
The old house is excellently maintained inside and out, and the furniture and floors are spotlessly cleaned.
Even if the owner is not at home all the year round, they are still conscientious, which shows the loyalty of the Yang family.
Therefore, among the carts of gifts prepared by the Jiang family, there was also a share of theirs.
After returning home for a short rest, Jiang Wenyuan sent someone to distribute the gifts to everyone.
In the evening, the clan held a dust washing banquet for their family in the ancestral hall.
The banquet is not in charge of a celebrity chef, the pigs are killed by the clan, the chickens, ducks and fish are raised by each family, and the vegetables and fruits are also picked from the fields.
The two uncles in charge of the spoon are in charge, the sisters-in-law of the village help the cook, the big bowl is used for cooking, and the coarse porcelain bowl is used for eating.
Simple and simple but lively enough, this is the hometown flavor that Jiang Wenyuan has been thinking about for more than ten years.
It's a pity that the old patriarch is gone, and if so, I might be so happy.
Because there were two children, Lu and Jiang Yuqing finished eating, chatted with the uncles and aunts in the village for a while, and then went home to rest.
Only Jiang Wenyuan was sent home when he was close to his son.
The next day, he took his wife and daughter to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors.
When Jiang Wenyuan and the Lu family went to worship, there was nothing.
When it was Jiang Yuqing's turn, before she could bow down, the old patriarch's tablet fell.
When the current patriarch saw it, he quickly stopped her: "Niangniang can't help it." You are now the mother of a nation, and your ancestors may not be able to bear your worship. ”
This play really gave Jiang Yu a neat laugh, but he didn't insist on it anymore.
In the evening, Jiang Wenyuan asked the Lu family to prepare a meal and invited the former gang of children to come to the house for dinner.
Most of the teenagers who used to fight cocks and lackeys are now over the age and have become grandfathers.
Speaking of all kinds of hours, everyone is very emotional.
Jiang Wenyuan toasted Zhao Liuzhi alone, and said with a smile: "Then it will fight with several other villages, it is Zhao Liuge who is the most ruthless, and he has not been beaten for us."
The ability to climb trees and steal fruits is first-class, and the net fish in the river is also the most powerful. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Liuzhi was extremely proud, and especially despised Jiang Wenyuan.
"You also said that we guys, you are the most cowardly when it comes to fighting. But that brain is really good.
At that time, we went up to the other side of the river to steal sugar cane. Seven or eight people, breaking two or three lines, are ruthless enough.
When they were done, they dragged them to the river beach and ate them.
When they couldn't finish eating, they buried themselves in the sand by the river, and then told the village children that there was sugar cane in the sand by the river and told them to dig it.
The children really went, but they were caught by the master's house, and they couldn't help but go to the house, and they were beaten half to death.
This big black cauldron is thrown properly.
How old would you be? Seven or eight years old, I told myself from then on, don't offend you, your kid's heart is too black.
If you don't want to be cheated to death, I have to happily help you count the money. ”
So a large room of men laughed straight to the table.
Jiang Yuqing and Lu sat outside, gently pushing the cradle while listening to them drink and talk about the mountains.
The two babies in the cradle were already asleep.
They lay side by side, their heads tilted towards each other, and their two fleshy little hands were raised to the sides of their faces, which was really cute.
Jiang Yuqing asked his mother curiously: "Was my father so skinny when he was a child?" ”
While doing the work at hand, Lu said, "Probably!
He's going to be the naughtiest and smartest student in your grandfather's class.
When you are mischievous, you can make your grandfather angry, but schoolwork is the best.
In your grandfather's words, it's love and hate. ”
Jiang Yuqing suddenly became a gossip: "Did you just fall in love with my father from that moment?" ”
Lu shook his head: "That's not true." The one I hated the most at that time was your dad. ”
"How?" Lu stopped what he was doing, his face full of memories.
"At that time, I finally begged some sunflower seeds from a relative's house and planted them in the flower garden at the back of the school.
Finally, I looked forward to flowering and seeding, and the long flower plate was as big as a pot.
Your grandmother said that a flower can bear at least two catties of seeds, but I was so happy that I could eat a lot of melon seeds in the New Year.
Later, I followed your grandmother to a relative's house for a few days and came back to find that none of my sunflowers were gone.
Your grandfather said that it was your father who took a group of bear children and used my flowers as arrows.
I was so angry that I cried for half the afternoon.
Since then he has become the most hated person in my heart, not one of them. ”
"Then why did you marry him later?"
"He studied at my father's for several years, and after school, he would often stay to fetch water for my family and water the ground.
Over the years, I felt that he didn't seem to be so annoying, and sometimes I thought he was very good.
Later, when I reached the age when I was about to leave the cabinet, your grandmother wanted to ask the matchmaker to find me a good mother-in-law.
Your grandfather said, I think Jiang Wenyuan is very good, this kid reads well, has a good personality, is transparent and diligent, and will have a great future in the future.
Your grandmother also thinks your father is good, so she said that the young man is very good and good-looking, but the family is a little poor.
Your grandfather said that you are afraid of being poor. I've inquired a long time ago, and their family style is very upright.
His father and mother, as well as his brother and sister-in-law, are also easy to get along with, and his daughter will definitely not be bullied when she marries in the future.
In this way, your grandfather promised me to your father.
Your father later told me that when your grandfather told him that he wanted to give him his daughter, let him go back to the house, and find someone to propose marriage, he was all floating. ”
Speaking of this, Lu's smile was particularly bright: "Now that I think about it, your grandfather really has a vision." ”
So the mother and daughter laughed together.
