"Pack up your stuff and go home tomorrow!"
From the scene of the dragon boat race on the Xin'an River, after returning to the Ma Family Inn, Wang Fulin gave Jin Bao these eight words simply... Of course, he would not forget to notify the sedan chair owner and Qiu Feng Lianqiao to prepare, and at the same time he found the shopkeeper to pay the bill. For this reason, he hurried to ask someone to say goodbye to his sister and brother-in-law in the Mansion City and the Cheng family in Huangjiawu next door to send the news that he was about to return home.
When the person who went to deliver the letter came back, Mr. Cheng and Cheng Naixuan and his son expressed regret that he could not stay for too long. Mr. Cheng also sent a generous Cheng Yi. The elder sister Wang Yuanguan's reaction was much stronger. He actually sent a servant from the family to scold him for leaving. Uncle Wu Tianbao was about to come to the city, and the uncle and nephew were about to miss it. In this regard, Wang Fulin could only use the excuse of being homeless and promised to visit his sister first when he entered the city. Finally, he was excused to get away.
He did miss the calm Songmingshan, the fierce Erniang and the greedy little girl. If it weren't for the unsafe walking at night, he would have wanted to rush back overnight. But since he had already tasted something from Ye Junyao, the magistrate of She County, and Zhao Wu, the head of the squad, the head of the squad, the squad, Zhao Wu, the head of the squad, he hoped that his few reminders would be of some use.
However, he, a young scholar who was just starting out, could only speak to that level, otherwise it would be too much and would cause disgust. The little favor in the previous incident of the prefecture school would be in vain.
Early the next morning, Wang Fulin embarked on a journey back to his hometown. This time, he didn't mention anything to Jin Bao at all. He asked the shopkeeper to rent another slider, but did not hire a sedan chair servant. He just asked the shopkeeper to hire a reliable porter and take back all the things he had bought in the city. Because there was no rotation on the road, he gave a generous reward to the four sedan chair servants sent by Mr. Nanming's home. In this way, they were naturally willing to do their best.
So, when he saw the slide rod falling in front of him, Jin Bao was stunned. Before he could object, Wang Fulin directly pressed it to the chair.
"When you come, you will wear your feet and stop showing off your ability when you return! Could it be that you want me to be accused of harsh abuse of your adopted son?"
Jin Bao knew that the second half was a joke, but he was still moved. He quickly turned his back and wiped his eyes, and then whispered: "Dad, I'm not that cute."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, that's it."
As for Lian Qiao and Qiu Feng, Wang Fulin asked them one night if they could walk the thirty-mile mountain road. If they could not, they would stay with the eldest sister of the Fucheng City for the time being. Lian Qiao came from a farmer's house and not only did housework, but also had to go to farmland since she was a child. She was sold by her parents because of her poor family. However, she was naturally full of energy and said that she could endure hardships since she was a child and walked without any obstacles.
She, a maid, said she could walk, and Qiu Feng naturally said she could walk, but when she got on the road, she saw Wang Fulin prepared a slide rod for Jinbao, and when she heard that she said something like that, he couldn't help but remember that he had followed the fangs from the city to Songming Mountain last time, and he was walking. Because he was in a hurry, he walked with his feet full of blood bubbles. He still remembered the feeling.
When he first left the city, he could still follow a few steep sedan chairmen, but after walking for about six or seven miles, as the sun gradually came out, the sun made people dizzy and sweaty on their backs. He felt that his legs were as if they were tied with heavy objects, and gradually he was a little tired. Fortunately, there was a pavilion on the roadside for pedestrians to rest and deep wells for water to quench their thirst. Wang Fulin signaled to rest for a while, and then he could take a breath. Just as he was wiping his sleeves hard to wipe his sweat, he felt that there was something more in front of him. When he looked up, he saw that Jin Bao handed over a peach.
"Dad just saw the farmer who went to the city to sell peaches on the way, so he bought a basket. Lian Qiao had just washed it with well water." Jin Bao explained, and saw Qiu Feng taking it hesitantly and thanking him again. He nodded with a smile. When he turned around, he saw that Lian Qiao had already given each of the sedan chairmen and the porters, he did not go there again. He found that Wang Fulin was standing on the side of the mountain road, staring at a tree full of fruits that he did not recognize, and he quickly walked forward.
"Don't Dad eat peaches?"
"You eat first, I'm not thirsty." Wang Fulin smiled, then looked at the pedestrians and said thoughtfully, "Look back and see if you can buy a horse and learn riding skills, otherwise you will have to find a way to hire a slider every time you go to the city. It's too much trouble."
Jin Bao didn't expect that Wang Fulin was thinking about this, but he didn't understand this very well, and he couldn't talk rashly. He subconsciously took a bite of the peach and felt that the sweet juice suddenly filled his mouth. A happy smile suddenly appeared on his tender face. Before he knew it, he couldn't help but start to be stunned when he was holding the peach pit.
When was the last time I ate peaches? It seemed that I picked a green peach from a wild peach tree. It was astringent and bitter when I ate it...
Wang Fulin said that he would eat peaches later, but his eyes still fell on the tree. After thinking about it, he finally asked the sedan chair operator to find a bamboo pole, knocked down a few large fruits, and found a handkerchief to wrap it around him.
"Have you had enough rest? Go and wash your hands quickly, it's time to leave!"
It was not until someone called in his ear that Jin Bao's thoughts were interrupted. He hurriedly threw down the peach pit and hurriedly went to wash his hands. On the next road, like Wang Fulin before, he slept in a daze and then in a daze. When he opened his eyes again, he only saw Song Mingshan, who was already familiar in front of him, and he had clearly returned.
It is said that he is timid in his hometown, not to mention that when he left, he was sold to someone as a slave by his brother. Now when he comes back, it is a world of difference. He doesn't know how to face his fellow villagers for a while.
On the way back, Wang Fulin took into account that the sedan chair owners could not rotate and slowed down his itinerary. Therefore, it was almost noon and there were still farmers working in the fields. As soon as their group entered the village, they saw it with sharp eyes. Soon, ten or twenty villagers surrounded him. Wang Fulin took the initiative to get off the slider and went up to say hello one by one, especially when he saw the villagers who accompanied him into the city, he even thanked him again and again.
The things he had been in the city these days had long been taught by those who had come back to preach the excitement, so everyone around was curious and envious. Seeing that he was so polite, there were many people who were sighing.
Although Wang Fulin's academic performance was quite outstanding, he passed the scholar early, but he was not very careful. He was not very interested in others. He was like this time, but he was a magical comeback and made a big splash, but he was still so approachable when he came back?
Those who knew the brotherly grudges between Wang Qiu and Jin Bao even sighed at Jin Bao. They got rid of such an inhuman brother and now have a good father. The child is so sad that he has ended his hardships. After learning the news, Wang Qiu's wife brought her son back to her parents' home. This is really retribution! Of course, there are also people who are jealous of them and ask Jin Bao indirectly. However, the little guy lowered his head and didn't speak very much. He asked him three times but didn't know anything, but he left the ulterior motives helpless.
"elder brother!"
Hearing this voice, Wang Fulin looked up and saw two figures, one big and one small, running towards this side not far away. Seeing that they were holding their skirts without any demeanor, he quickly lined up to meet them, but he didn't expect that the little sister made a big sprint in the last ten steps, and suddenly surpassed Wang Erniang and threw herself into his arms. At this time, they were all villagers, and there were no outsiders. He picked up the little girl and slammed it down, then looked at the red and excited smiling face, and asked with a smile: "I haven't been naughty with your second sister these days at home, right?"
"Brother underestimates me too much. I don't look like you, you are not diligent in all four bodies and have no grains. You can help your second sister a lot!" The little sister was a big devil, raised her head and tugged her eyes and said, "You can't you come back from the city empty-handed, right?"
"I can't be anxious!" Wang Fulin pointed to the slide rod behind him and said, "The things are all on top, there are delicious and fun, let you choose them yourself!"
"Brother, I knew you were the best now!"
The little sister cheered excitedly, and in a moment she got into the crowd to check the spoils. At this time, Wang Fulin saw Wang Erniang just now. She saw that her eyes were full of excitement and excitement, but she looked angry and stared at him and said, "Since everything has been solved, I should have come back long ago! Do you know how anxious I am to wait for you? If you have no news, I want to go to the city to find you!"
"Yes, it's not good for me." Wang Fulin pressed his second wife on his shoulder and said with a smile, "You still blame me for coming back late. My eldest sister heard that I was leaving yesterday, and she blamed me for leaving too early and was just missing out with my uncle. So, you can't do anything at all. These days in the city, I have picked two good-colored silks and turned around to cut clothes for you and your younger sister."
"I just know how to spend money indiscriminately!"
Wang Erniang wrinkled her nose. Although she said that, her joy was overflowing on her face. Seeing that the villagers around her had not yet dispersed, she went up to say hello in a group. Uncle, aunt, brother and sister shouted so hard that the surroundings were full of joyful laughter. When the younger sister ran over, she leaned over her ear and whispered something in the porter. She quickly decided in her heart and immediately spoke: "Brother is not here these days, thanks to everyone taking care of me and my younger sister. My brother brought a lot of things back from the city this time. After I cleaned it up, I went to each family to give gifts with me. I would like to thank everyone for their help these days."
Seeing Wang Erniang laughing all around her eyes when she said something, Wang Fulin couldn't help but be amazed. However, when the crowd dispersed, he still had to remind him: "I didn't buy enough things to distribute dozens of families!"
"Take goose feathers thousands of miles away, and the gift is light and affectionate. Besides, among the three tenants in our family, the most honest and decent family has just arrived. They have sent several fat chickens and big ducks, fresh fruits and more than a dozen fresh fish, and they will give them some together!" Wang Erniang raised her eyebrows, and then calculated with her fingers, "Besides, there are not many dozen households. At most, there are only a dozen households who have helped us. Besides, you have come back safely from the city and have a great reputation. The market in our Songming Mountain Village is bullish. Will others let us all go away and return empty-handed?"
"Okay, my second sister is really good at settleing the score!" Wang Fulin immediately smiled, but then he saw Wang Erniang looking in one direction. He looked over there and found that it was Jinbao, and he immediately called out terrible. After all, Wang Erniang is not like the eldest sister Wang Yuanwan, and has a top-notch fierce and fierce attribute. He had to cough gently, "I will explain to you after I get home..."
But before he finished speaking, Wang Erniang ignored him and walked straight to Jin Bao, looked him carefully from head to toe. When she heard Jin Bao stammeringly call Er Gu, she raised her eyebrows and said, "What's your name? I didn't hear it clearly!"
Jin Bao mustered up his courage, raised his voice and called Ergu again, but then he followed another head to the side: "What about me?"
Wang Fulin didn't expect that even the younger sister would join in the fun. He was so angry that he quickly stepped forward. But at this time, Jin Bao had already screamed with a cry of his sister. Then he saw a happy smile on his face, and he cheered: "Great, I'm not the youngest in my family in the future!"
After saying this, she closed her hands and said with a smile: "Jinbao, from now on, I will give you candied haws when I hear my sister-in-law's words!"
Even Wang Erniang, who had originally had a calm face, was suddenly amused by her younger sister, Tong Yan Wuji. It was not until this time that Wang Fulin, who was holding a heart, breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything will be prosperous when family is harmonious. As long as you can settle your home before the two parents who have not met with him come back, it will always be easier to meet in the future!
