Chapter 69, Going Home

  Zhongzhou provincial capital, post station.

  Li Xingchang and Li Xingnian are saying goodbye to Yan Zhigao and his party.

Li Xingchang looked a bit regretful: "The time I came here was too tight this time, and I couldn't go to sit at home." Then he looked at Daohua, "You haven't met your cousins ​​and cousins ​​yet, this time It's also unfortunate that your two aunts took them to celebrate the birthday of the one in your hometown."

   Daohua wondered: "The one in my hometown? Which one?"

  Yan Wenxiu knew about the grandfather's family, so he immediately pulled Daohua and signaled her not to ask any more.

  Li Xingchang saw Yan Wenxiu winking at Daohua, and smiled: "Go back and ask your mother." After that, he went to talk to Yan Zhigao.

  Taohua Limara turned to Yan Wenxiu and asked, "Brother, who is the uncle talking about?"

   Yan Wenxiu didn't want to say anything, Yan Wenkai leaned over: "It's our grandmother, but it's the queen."

   Daohua's eyes widened: "Grandma is still alive? Why haven't I heard my mother mention it?"

  Yan Wenkai: "It's all said that it's late. Big sister, let me tell you that the old woman is broken. At the beginning, I wanted to marry our mother to a bad old man who is seven and eighty years old."

   "Four brothers!" Yan Wenxiu glared at Yan Wenkai, "How do you talk, is that the elder after all."

  Yan Wenkai curled his lips: "What elders, mother has never admitted, anyway, I don't."

  Yan Wenxiu was a little helpless: "There are some things you know in your heart. Why should you say it? Does this injustice leave people's tongue?"

  Yan Wenkai confidently said: "Isn't this the big sister asking? Of course I have to say it."

Yan Wenxiu moved his lips, wanting to say that this kind of thing is not suitable for talking to the boudoir girl, but seeing Daohua looking at them with interest, he sighed and said: "My mother is a married woman, and it has nothing to do with that. , Our outside family only has the eldest uncle and the second uncle, and the others don’t bother."

   Daohua nodded, then looked at Yan Wenkai with piercing eyes.

   Yan Wenkai didn't care about Yan Wenxiu, pulling the rice flower and muttering in a low voice.

"In order to prevent the old woman from marrying his mother to the bad old man, the uncle and the second uncle took the initiative to give up the family business left by the grandfather, and then took the mother to leave the country and go out. Now the uncle and the second uncle have their own business A little bit of savings."

   "After that, I saw that the uncle and the uncle got up there, and I don't know what method was used, this was connected again."

   Daohua listened silently, after thinking about it, and then asked: "How did my mother marry Dad?"

  Yan Wenkai: "I don't know exactly what's going on, but it seems that my grandmother first liked it."

  At this time, Li Xingchang, Li Xingnian, and Yan Zhigao were almost done.

  Yan Zhigao: "Two uncles, we are leaving now. When I am settled in Xingzhou, I will write to you. When the time comes, you have to be free, so you can sit there."

  Li Xingchang smiled and nodded: "It must be."

  "Uncle, uncle, goodbye!"

  The little ones in Daohua said goodbye to the Li Xingchang brothers, and then the group boarded the carriage and drove quickly towards Linyi County.

  Looking at the carriage going far, Li Xingchang and Li Xingnian turned around and walked back.

  Li Xingchang's eyebrows are a little sad: "The more senior officials are getting bigger and bigger, the gap with us will get bigger and bigger. In the future, there won't be many who can help the younger sister, the concubine room in the backyard of Yan's house."

Li Xingnian smiled: "Brother, put your heart in your stomach, our little sister has given birth to some amazing children. Wenxiu is a young man, Wen Kai is lively and straightforward, and Daohua's girl is even more ghostly and strange. Yes, the eldest sister can't stand bullying at Yan's house."

  Li Xingchang's expression of worry is undiminished: "Are you not ignorant of the virtues of men. If the heart of being high is partial, can the little girl live better?"

  Hearing this, Li Xingnian was even less concerned, and smiled lightly: "As long as our brother-in-law is not a stupid, he should know who he is getting promoted this time."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xingchang interrupted: "You haven't said this to Daohua, have you?"

   Li Xingnian said in a bad mood: "Big brother, you think I'm stupid!"

Li Xingchang breathed a sigh of relief: "The reason for the appreciation of high energy is due to the rice flower factor, but it is more because he can do practical things for the people. Men are proud. You can't express the kind of thought you just now, or else, It will ruin the relationship between Daohua and Zhi Gao's father and daughter."

   Li Xingnian disagrees a little: “It’s not that serious, if I have a daughter like Daohua, then I can wake up in my dreams.”

  Li Xingchang: “That’s what I said, but who doesn’t want to improve because of their own efforts.”

Li Xingnian: "Okay, don't worry about it here anymore. The little girl is not stupid. Daohua girl, I can see that she is not a person who can swallow her anger. If this is the case, she can still be bullied by a concubine. , That's what they deserve."

In the carriage, Yan Zhigao drank the tea prepared by Daohua while thinking about the experience of coming to Fucheng to report on his work this time.

  Master Xiao poured himself a cup of tea, and smiled: "This time the tea is better than the last time. I heard that the eldest girl got up early in the morning to make it, and her filial piety is commendable."

   Yan Zhigao took back his thoughts: "That girl does have some talent in cooking."

Master Xiao nodded: "I heard that the cooking of the eldest girl was taught by the old lady. The old saying goes well. There is a treasure in the family. Without the teaching of the old lady, we would not be able to drink such good tea. This journey can't be so easy either."

   Hearing this, Yan Zhigao's expression moved, thinking that if the old mother insisted this time, he might not bring Daohua to Fucheng. If Daohua does not come, then his promotion

  Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that the reason why he was promoted was directly related to the son Daohua saved.

   "Master said that it is right. There are old people in the house, just like Dinghai Shenzhen."

  While they were talking, the two of them heard the laughter coming from the carriage behind, and their faces couldn't help but show a smile.

   "Where there are big girls, there seems to be no lack of laughter."

   "That girl, love to laugh!"

   "No wonder the old lady is so precious, and the carefree and bright smile of the child will make you feel better when you look at it."

  "."

  Yan Zhigao was anxious to return to Linyi County to take over, and was anxious to go to Xingzhou to take up his post, so the speed of returning was much faster when he came.

  In the bumpy carriage, Daohua looked at her pale-faced elder brother, and said, “Big brother, you can have a good workout when you go home this time.” After that, he handed him the water hyacinth with rice soup.

  Yan Wenxiu didn't say anything. It's not that he didn't want to say it. It was really uncomfortable by the horse-drawn carriage. Fortunately, the elder sister prepared glutinous rice soup in advance. After drinking it, he could feel better.

   Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao on the side didn't need to pass the rice flower. After Yan Wenxiu had drank it, he immediately hugged the water hyacinth and began to slurp.

   Daohua hurriedly stopped: "You drink less and save more for the eldest brother."

  Yan Wenkai wiped his mouth: "Big sister, why don't you cook more rice soup? I haven't had enough." The big sister's food, no matter how simple, seems to be very delicious.

  It was just this rice soup. After drinking, he was completely clean after sitting in a carriage.

  Inahana ignored the big stomach king, raised the curtain of the car, and looked at the scenery outside the car: "Should we be there soon?"

  The coachman’s voice came from outside the carriage: "Big girl, I will be in Linyi County in half a day."

   Daohua nodded, and looked at Yan Wenxiu: "Brother, you can insist on it, we will be home soon."
