Returning home should have been a happy event, but the mother cried for half a dinner.

Mrs. An pulled An Qing and said this and that, while constantly wiping her tears with her hands, she hardly moved her chopsticks a few times after a meal, and it was a pity for her daughter to make a dinner by herself.

An Guangmao is not good at words, and Hu Buxi and Zhao Wuan are also afraid of the relationship and dare not speak rashly. An Qing listened in a daze, and answered a sentence from time to time, all in a few words.

The candle flame is full of the nagging words of the woman.

"Mother is not worried that you will go to the world, our children of the An family have never stayed at home for a lifetime. ”

"My mother is worried that you are a girl's family, and you don't know martial arts, and you will be bullied when the time comes. I've been an acute child since I was a child, and I can't change it no matter how much I can. In the future, you must remember not to be in a hurry when you shouldn't be in a hurry, and learn from your father. ”

"Walking the rivers and lakes always has to have a skill, you look like this, how can you rest assured that you will go out. ”

An Qing muttered, "Aren't I coming back......"

"It's good to be back. Good Qing'er, you remember, no matter where you go, it's not as good as home. I was bullied outside, and I was the first to go home. Because my mother is old, I can't move to beat and scold, so let your father lead those little catchers in the yamen. They are all about the same age as you, and if you are bullied, your mother will definitely let you bully you back. If they don't go back, I won't be able to spare your father. ”

Lowering his head and pulling the rice violently, An Guangmao heard this, raised his head, smiled and nodded yes.

An Qing hurriedly lowered her head, quickly raised her sleeves, and wiped her eyes.

Hu Buxi looked at it among several people at the dinner table, and his back suddenly cooled, and he was slapped by the magpie stepping branch.

He turned his head and saw that Zhao Wu'an was silent, eating silently one bite at a time.

"Zhao Jushi eats vegetables. An Guangmao said.

Zhao Wu'an smiled faintly: "Well, thank you." Fu lowered his head and picked up the rice.

The woman was still stroking her heart, babbling. From beginning to end, he didn't look at the future son-in-law.

An Qing lowered her eyelashes and listened, and every once in a while, she lowered her head and wiped her tears secretly.

The table is full of colorful and fragrant meals, but the taste is like chewing wax.

——————

After the meal, Zhao Wuan helped An Qing clean up the dishes and chopsticks and took them to the backyard to clean, Hu Buxi also followed him, leaving An Guangmao to pull his wife, and the two sat in the courtyard and said something considerate.

Qingdi Township is not as good as Bianliang, and it is almost impossible to see the lights at night, and only the starlight in the sky can still make a little light.

Zhao Wu'an and An Qing squatted side by side, silently washing the dishes. Neither of them spoke.

Zhao Wu'an buried his head and carefully wiped the oil spots on the porcelain cup in his hand with hot water, and suddenly heard An Qing next to him sniff.

He was stunned for a moment, did not make a sound, and continued to bury his head in cleaning the utensils in his hands. An Qing's snorting sound was getting louder and louder, and Zhao Wu'an raised his eyes, unable to see An Qing's face.

She buried her head deeply, almost stuck to the basin soaked in the dishes and chopsticks, her slender shoulders trembled, and the sound of inhaling gradually turned into sobbing.

Zhao Wu'an put down the porcelain cup in his hand and wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but realized that his hands were full of water stains.

Hu Buxi saw the opportunity, rushed up with a brisk step, and handed a clean cloth to Zhao Wu'an.

Zhao Wu'an was stunned, and glanced at Hu Buxi with a complicated expression, no, no, no.

"Hey, the boss is in trouble, how can my boss Hu turn a blind eye!" Hu Buxi said righteously.

Zhao Wu'an was helpless, wiped his hands with a cloth, and then walked to An Qing's side, raised his hand to touch her, but didn't think about it, An Qing gently moved to the side, avoiding Zhao Wu'an.

Zhao Wu'an was stunned, not knowing what to do.

An Qing sniffed and choked up, "I'm fine." ”

“...... But you're crying. Zhao Wuan said helplessly.

"It's not normal for girls to cry at home. An Qing whispered.

Zhao Wu'an was stunned for a long time and didn't speak, and only said for a long time: "Having said that, I am your quasi-husband after all, and I can't watch my wife being wronged......"

Hu Buxi heard the sound of tsk, and consciously ran out, and there were only two people left in the backyard.

"I'm not wronged. An Qing wiped her tears and said.

Zhao Wuan smiled helplessly: "Your mother said that way, it seems that she married me, and you suffered a great grievance." ”

"That's not bad. An Qing raised her eyes, stretched out her finger and said like a treasure, "Money, no, big mansion, no, and backers in the court, no." With your appearance, how can my mother rest assured that she will marry off her only daughter. ”

"Then do you want to marry?" asked Zhao Wu'an.

An Qing, who was already red-nosed, blushed and twisted her face, "Of course I'm willing." But my mother is reluctant to give up, not at ease, it is reasonable, what do you have to be proud of. ”

"I'm not complacent. Zhao Wu'an said, "But that's right, my appearance really can't reassure your mother." ”

An Qing shook her head: "I don't care. ”

"But your mother is not wrong, at least she should give you a place to settle down and start a business. Zhao Wu'an smiled, "Give me half a year." After sending the six swords on his body out, he asked Jiang Lian to make some connections, and he should be able to spend a penny of total money in Luzhou to borrow a house. We live there, and it's close to Qingdi Township. ”

An Qing hesitated: "I don't force these things to ......"

"But I'm marrying you openly, can't I pass the mother-in-law level? ”

Zhao Wu'an stretched out his hand and brushed the messy hair on her forehead.

An Qing bit her lip, was silent for a long time, and laughed quietly.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Zhao Wu'an.

"If you tell my mother what you just said, she will say that you are painting bread to satisfy your hunger, and then scold you for a long time. ”

An Qing smiled like a flower.

"Well, Zhao Jushi, it doesn't matter. ”

Under the cool moonlight, she cherished word by word.

"I'm willing to marry you after all, no matter whether you have a big house with three entrances, whether you can afford to rent a sedan chair or not. Of course, it's not because you're one of the few first-class masters in this world. If it's just an ordinary first-class master, I don't even want to pay attention to it. Because I've always thought it's hard to fight and kill, but you're not the same as them. That's why I'm happy to marry you because you're not like anyone else. ”

Zhao Wu'an nodded silently and said with a smile: "Yes, the girl's family has always liked something different. ”

"That's not what I said!" An Qing stuck out her tongue at him, "I won't tell you, wooden head." ”

She stood up and patted the dust off her knees, "I'll go see my mother." These leftover dishes and chopsticks, please wash them, Zhao, Ju, Shi. ”

After saying the last three words word by word, An Qing ran to the main courtyard with a smoke.

The moonlight was leisurely, and Zhao Wu'an stood alone in front of two large pots of dishes and chopsticks, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This time, I followed An Qing back to Qingdi Township, and sure enough, I still went the right way. Although he has not yet said anything about the proposal, most of the two members of the An family have a bottom in their hearts. Let's go to the inn last time with Hu Buxi for one night, and then come back tomorrow morning to propose.

He crouched down silently and brushed the bowl again.

Suddenly, a breeze blew in the courtyard, the treetops moved slightly, and the plum branch in the corner of the wall lowered its head.

"Zhao Wu'an!" An Qing's loud call suddenly came from the front yard.

Zhao Wu'an suddenly threw away the dishes and chopsticks, grabbed the sword box beside him and flew to the front yard.

It is said that there is Hu Buxi in the front yard, so there should be no need to worry too much. Although this guy is a little annoying on weekdays, he is often very reliable at critical moments.

But for some reason, as soon as he heard An Qing's shout, Zhao Wuan's heart was in turmoil in an instant.

He rushed through the long path between the walls, ran to the front yard out of breath, and the Luo Shen sword box was protected in front of him, and as soon as he entered the hospital, he looked for An Qing's figure everywhere.

The An family gathered at the door, and Hu Buxi was standing in the corner with his arms folded on his chest.

Zhao Wu'an was stunned, and Hu Buxi was also stunned.

"Why did she just call me?" asked Zhao Wu'an.

"That's it...... Shout out to you. Hu Buxi shrugged his shoulders, and he didn't know why.

"Zhao Wu'an!!"

An Qing, who was standing at the door, shouted excitedly again, and was held down by An Guangmao who reached out and pressed his shoulder, only to calm down a little.

Seeing Zhao Wu'an rushing over, An Guangmao explained with tears and laughter: "This child, she used to call her eldest brother's name when she was excited, but now that she really sees her eldest brother, it is Zhao Jushi who is startled. ”

Zhao Wu'an was stunned, "An Qing's eldest brother?"

An Guangmao nodded, and there seemed to be tears flashing in his eyes.

The three sons and daughters of the An family, starting this spring, have left home separately. The two elders don't know how long it has been since they have experienced the days of joy under their knees, but now they have come back all of a sudden, and it is difficult not to be excited.

Mrs. An was ecstatic and muttered: "Lao An, Lao An, this is the eldest son...... tears slipped from her eyes unconsciously.

Zhao Wu'an looked towards the door and saw an eight-foot-long man, dressed in old armor, leading a thin horse, standing by the lintel.

After a long time in the wind and sand of the frontier, his face looked thin and dull, and his eye sockets were deep, but fortunately, a pair of pupils were still bright. His hair was messy, his body was thin but strong, and his whole body was like a dilapidated gun.

The eldest son of the An family stretched out his dark palm to wipe away the tears from his mother's face.

"Dad, mother, I'm back. He said quietly.

An Qing couldn't say anything, snorted and rushed towards him, and threw herself into her arms.

"An Xingguo!" she shouted happily, her voice echoing in the courtyard for a long time.

The mother laughed and scratched her nose. "It's still not too big or too small. ”

Mrs. An couldn't cry, but An Qing was so happy that she wanted to scream. An Guangmao smiled from ear to ear, took the reins from his hand, and said, "Don't stand stupidly, come in, come in." The dishes are cold, it's fine, there are still a lot of dishes left, what do you want to eat, I'll make it for you. ”

"It's late, it's okay, I'm not hungry. An Xingguo said with a smile.

"If you're not hungry, you have to eat a little more. It's okay, I'll get up early tomorrow and go to the market to catch the braised fish! Do you like braised fish the most, I'll buy ten of them tomorrow!"

"I can't eat it every day. "Dad, I learned a truth in the army, whether it is eating or patrolling, I pay attention to moderation." Whatever it is, too much is not good. ”

An Guangmao smiled and added a few wrinkles to the corners of his eyebrows. "Yes, yes, that makes sense. ”

Life is varied, but the reunion of parents and children is the most moving.

Hu Buxi played with the knife in his hand and glanced at Zhao Wu'an, but saw that Zhao Wu'an's eyes were also flashing with tears.

He shook his head and let out a low sigh.

"Boss. ”

"Huh?"

"An Wazi is right, you are not the same as before. Hu Buxi said, "Since leaving Bianliang, how many times have you laughed in the past few days?"

Zhao Wu'an was stunned and laughed again.

"There's nothing wrong with smiling more. A laugh, ten years less. ”
