Chapter Seventy-Three: The Night of Reunion

"I've finally arrived in Jingzhou City, but it will take two days to get to my house!" Dan Lian said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"That's the fastest and just in time for Chinese New Year's Eve!" Yang An was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to catch up.

"It won't be one of the nine states in the world, it is really majestic, if there are a few more such cities, no matter how strong the Mongols' iron cavalry is, it will be useless. Zhang Qianzhong sighed.

"You're wrong, no matter how good the city is, it's just a dead thing, the main thing is to look at the people, the Great Wall should be magnificent, but a few of the northern barbarians are blocked out by the Great Wall, it doesn't depend on whether the city is strong, only whether the people's hearts are strong!" Yang An said.

"You're right!"

"It's snowing again, let's keep going!"

A group of five people, day and night, the heavy snow did not stop them. On the morning of the third day, when it was almost here, the heavy snow had turned the surroundings white, Dan Lian pointed to the house under the hillside and said, "Brother, look, that's our house!"

"Okay, let's go down right now!"

Before she got home, Dan Lian shouted: "Mother, mother, I'm back......"

There was no response, everyone walked in, only to see the old man slowly get up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, suddenly his eyes widened, and said, "An'er, Lian'er, you are back, just come back." Hurriedly pulled Yang Anzai to take a closer look.

"Mother, I haven't seen you for seven or eight years, you've changed a lot!" Yang An couldn't help crying!

"Yes, how can it not change, my hair is gray a lot, I don't have any strength to do things, I just hit some fish cakes, I am tired, and I fall asleep while lying down!"

"Don't do so much when you're tired!"

"Mother, I've been looking forward to your return, and I've prepared a lot of food. By the way, are these your friends?"

"Yes, let me introduce to you, this is Zhang Youqu, who is also from Jingzhou. Yang An said.

"I've seen my aunt!" Yuqu said.

Mrs. Yang was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and said, "Okay, come and sit, come and sit." ”

Yang An continued: "Mother, do you remember her?" said and pointed to Qingyu.

Mrs. Yang looked at it carefully and said, "This is ......"

"Auntie, I'm Qingyu, do you remember?" Qingyu said and knelt down.

"Oh, isn't it Qingyu, I'm really old, get up, get up. You kid, you left so quietly back then, Yang An's father almost used thousands of people to look for it, but they didn't find it!"

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm leaving you worried!" Qingyu couldn't help crying.

"To tell you the truth, I have always regarded you as my daughter, and I thought at that time that you must have been abducted by human traffickers, and begged his father to look for you everywhere. Later, they told me that they hadn't noticed any strangers coming in and out, and that you had run away on your own, and I was a little angry. But it's all over, it's good to come back, in this war-torn era, it's good to be alive, how can you still have so much energy to care!" Mrs. Yang said as tears fell uncontrollably.

"Auntie, I really miss you!" Qingyu said as she lay on Mrs. Yang's lap and cried.

"Alright, girl, bring tears to your eyes!"

Yang An pointed at Zhang Qianzhong again and said: "This is Zhang Qianzhong, his father is the same as Danlian's master, Bai Yun Daochang, and he is a hero of Songshan. ”

As soon as Yang An finished speaking, Zhang Qianzhong said: "Aunt, this year's reunion dinner is only eaten at your house, aunt, don't dislike it!"

"How can I dislike it, it's too late to be happy, come and come, sit down, I'll cook!"

"Mother, don't listen to him, he will eat and drink. As soon as Dan Lian spoke, Mrs. Yang knew what the identity of this Zhang Qianzhong was!

"What do you say, come and help me cook!" said Mrs. Yang.

"Auntie, I'll help you too! I'm more acquainted!" said Youqu as he arrived in the kitchen.

"Auntie, there are so many dishes!" Yuqu was a little surprised.

Mrs. Yang said with a smile: "There has been no war in the past few years, and the conditions are better, and you can eat one or two meals of meat all year round." In addition, I was lucky, put a few clips, and caught dozens of rabbits in winter, not only enough for myself, but also for rice and pork at the market. ”

"Is it so easy to beat rabbits?" Yuqu was a little puzzled.

"But it's not, originally I thought that what this old man did must be very difficult, but then I inquired, this hare is very expensive, I tried to release it a few times, there are always two days out of three days!" Mrs. Yang said very proudly.

"In the past, my family also hunted rabbits, and the number of times I caught them was very small, but Brother Yang often went out to hunt when his hands were not injured, and only one or two were caught a day. Yuqu said.

Mrs. Yang then remembered that there was a word that said that her son's hands were useless, but now it seems that he is safe and sound. Mrs. Yang asked, "Is my son's hand right?"

"Mom, my brother's hands have been crippled for seven years, and they are all taken care of by Sister Youqu. Dan Lian said as she cut something.

Mrs. Yang suddenly stopped what she was doing, knelt down, and said: "Miss Youqu, you are the great benefactor of our family, our mother and daughter are incompetent, our own children, and our brother have been crippled for seven years. Please bow down to me!"

"Auntie, get up quickly!" Youqu was really embarrassed.

"Mom, you get up, not only do you not have to kneel to her, she has to kneel to you!" Dan Lian smiled and helped her mother up.

"Dan Lian, why do you say that?" asked Madame Yang.

"Mom, do you want to drink a cup of daughter-in-law's tea?" Dan Lian said.

"You mean ......"

"That's right, Mom, don't you understand her shy appearance, now, just wait for your old man's instructions!" Dan Lian said.

"Yes, good boy, I will instruct, and I will instruct you when we eat later. Mrs. Yang was so happy that she was a little incoherent!

"Thank you, ma'am!"

"Ouch, ouch, blushing like a monkey's ass. Dan Lian was gloating on the side again.

"Would you like to give you instructions later?"

"I don't want to instruct it, I'm in charge of my own affairs, I want him if I want him, I don't want him if I don't want him!" Dan Lian looked proud.

"You're not ashamed at all!"

"Why are you ashamed!"

"You're not ashamed, why didn't you dare to say that you liked people before?"

"Who said I liked him!

Yang An outside they were not idle, Yang An looked around the whole house carefully, although this was his home, but he was here for the first time, in comparison, Youqu's home and the cave may be more familiar. But his home is really a little similar to Youqu's home, Yang An remembered a dream he once had, a fox ran and ran, ran into the thatched house, and became a fox girl, Yang An has always felt that the thatched house is Youqu's home, and now it seems that it may also be his home.

"What are you looking at, are you hurting the scene?" asked Qingyu.

"It's also the first time I've been back to this home, so what can I do to hurt the scene. But it's a little sad, it's my home, my father's home, my mother's house, but it's the first time I've come, isn't it a little ridiculous?"

"Everything is caused by this era, just like my aunt said, it is not easy to survive in this era, how dare you dare to have a complete home. Even if you haven't been back to this home, at least you know that he has always existed, because you have relatives, mothers, sisters, and relatives to have a home. And I'm afraid I'll never know where my home is!" Qingyu's tears had just stopped, and suddenly they were moist again.

"You can create a home!"

"I've thought about it too, but ...... Brother Kishi, I'm really tired, how I wish someone could listen to all the words in my heart. But there is no such person, not even Brother An, you can!" Qingyu said something that Yang An could not understand.

"Qingyu, I know you must have suffered a lot over the years, but everything has passed!" Yang An comforted.

"Okay!" Qingyu seemed to have a lot to say, but he held back stiffly, and finally only said the word "good".

"To be honest, I was a little excited to go home for the first time!"

As soon as Yang An finished speaking, Mrs. Yang walked out of the kitchen and said, "Who said that you came back for the first time, you came back once when you were two or three years old, at that time our family was much better than now, and I haven't lived for more than ten years, when I first came back, it was not the same as now!"

Yang An said in his heart, no wonder I have childhood memories. But he didn't say it, only said: "Mother, when is the meal!"

"Why are you still the same as when you were a child, you don't have any patience at all! Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, how can you be so casual!"

After a long while, Dan Lian finally brought out the food. Yang An was as happy as a child and said, "Great, I can finally eat!"

"Brother, you don't have to worry, you have to invite the ancestors first!"

"When the rules were, why don't I remember?" Yang An didn't believe it.

"Brother Yang, why don't you remember, you also had it when you were there?" Youqu also came out with a plate of dishes.

Yang An really didn't remember, but saw them brought out one plate after another, and then Mrs. Yang put ten pairs of bowls and chopsticks, added rice, and poured a little wine.

"There are only six of us, how can we have ten pairs of chopsticks?" Yang An asked puzzled.

"I told you that this is for the ancestors, by the way, brother, you can touch the bowl later, and see if it is cold and hot at the same time!" Dan Lian had a strange expression.

"Why?"

"You'll find out later!"

Soon, Mrs. Yang put away the dishes and chopsticks, and sprinkled the brewed tea on the ground, so that Yang An and the others could eat on the table.

"I just touched the bowl, and it's not hot and cold at the same time!" Yang An said as soon as everyone laughed.

Youqu said: "This is a lie to the child, Brother Yang, are you so smart and still believe this?"

"It's hard to be confused!"

"Ma'am, your kamato is delicious!" said Yuqu.

"Alas, when I'm old, the fish can't be beaten up, and if I put it a few years ago, it might be more tender!" Mrs. Yang said embarrassedly.

"Sister Youqu, look at your mouth, I'm really worried that my mother will only hurt her daughter-in-law and not her daughter in the future!" Dan Lian pretended to be very angry.

"Mother, it hurts, you are all mother's baby! Come and eat food, to be honest, in my heart, I think you will not come back, I feel that I am a lonely old woman who has to spend this year alone, today, not only is An'er Lian'er back, Qingyu is also back, and there are so many friends, I am really happy! Come, everyone have a drink!" Mrs. Yang is indeed happy from the bottom of her heart.

Youqu drank a glass of wine, his face turned from happy to sad, and said: "I have so many delicious foods here, I don't know how my grandmother spends the New Year at home alone!"

"That's simple, Yuqu, today is thirty, in the second year of junior high school, I will ask Yang An to accompany you back to your grandmother's house and celebrate the New Year together!" Mrs. Yang settled down in one sentence, and it seemed that no one would be allowed to refute it.

"Mother, did you drive your son out as soon as you came back?" Yang An said with some dissatisfaction.

"I don't care when I don't care, you must listen to me this time!"

"Good, good!"

"Having said that, I'm really a little reluctant, so it's better to go over as a family!" said Mrs. Yang.

"No, it's not good! It's a big winter, and the carriage will take a day!"

"What's so bad, just this once, it's worth it to be tired!"

"Good, good!"

Mrs. Yang turned to Youqu and whispered, "How is it?

Yuqu blushed again and lowered her head.

"Okay, okay, let's go ahead with the dishes, there are roast meat, steamed meat, steamed pork ribs, steamed rabbit meat, and fish cakes! Especially this fish cake, you can't eat it anymore when you get out of this place!" said Mrs. Yang to Youqu and Qingyu sleet.

"Mother, where did you get so much rabbit meat?" Yang An asked.

"Madame put the clip there, and there are a lot of them!" said Youqu.

"Oh?" Yang An naturally knew that this was unlikely, so he thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm afraid it won't be long before a distinguished guest arrives at our house!"

"Who else?" asked Danlian.

"Naturally, it's the one who delivers rabbit meat!"

"Isn't the rabbit beaten by my mother?

Yang An didn't answer Dan Lian's question, but asked, "Dan Lian, have you encountered any dangers in the past seven or eight years that you can't solve, but in the end you have inexplicably resolved?"

Mrs. Yang said: "I really remember one thing when you say this, when we first came here, we were always bullied by some people, and we didn't know where we came from, and we didn't know our neighbors. They even wanted to kill people, and several times I heard fights outside at night, and opened the door to see it during the day, but there was nothing!"

"I guess, the mystery of this matter is about to be revealed!" Yang An said.

"Do you mean that someone has been secretly protecting Aunt and Sister Danlian?" Qingyu understood what Yang An meant.

"Qingyu, now you really impress me!" Yang An began to re-examine the girl Qingyu. Although Yang An knew that Qingyu was a secret agent, he only treated him as a little sister, but today, he found that Qingyu was no longer the Qingyu when he was a child.
