"This is the right place." Yan Laoer parked the oxcart and helped Li Xuemei down.
This is an inconspicuous alley. The road is a bit narrow and a car can barely get in. But once you get in, you will probably have to go backwards when you get out.
Sanbao can definitely complete this kind of unconventional walking method, but since the houses on both sides of the alley are adjacent to each other, if they drive in, they will block the way in and out of other people's houses.
The second to last room at the end of the alley.
A family of three stopped here.
Yan Laoer hesitated for a moment and knocked on the door.
"Is anyone home?" he asked while knocking on the door.
Unexpectedly, this door was not knocked, and the door diagonally opposite opened.
A crack was opened.
Someone was watching them through the crack in the door...
This discovery left the family scratching their heads.
What kind of custom is this? If you want to see it, just open the door and see it.
There was movement at the door they knocked on. Someone came over, stopped at the door, and asked calmly: "Who are you looking for?"
Yan Laoer hurriedly said: "Is this the Tian family? We come from Huju, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door opened.
Standing behind the door was a serious-looking woman. Her hair had no trace of white and was still black, but the weathered weather on her face showed that this woman was no longer young.
"come in."
She only glanced at it, quickly moved out of the way, and closed the door immediately after people came in.
"Wait...wait a minute." Yan Laoer shouted to stop in time, "There are still some things in the car. Please wait and close the door."
Yan Laoer trotted out. Yan Yu glanced at his mother, saw her nodding, and ran out too.
The woman who opened the door frowned.
Li Xuemei noticed that her eyes stayed on the house across the door for a moment, thoughtfully.
"But Mrs. Tian in person?" Li Xuemei confirmed cautiously.
The woman who was called Mrs. Tian looked directly at her calmly, hummed, and focused more on her protruding belly.
"Come in and sit down." After bringing the person inside, the woman added some firewood to the brazier.
Li Xuemei slowly followed behind.
Yan Laoer tied several baggage to the front and back, and also carried two baskets.
Yan Yu was very low-key and only carried a basket on her back. The two men came back very quickly and entered the yard before Li Xuemei even bothered to enter the house.
"Close the door." Mrs. Tian said.
Putting the things down temporarily, Yan Yu closed the door.
Because of her height, her sight could just pass through the half-finger-wide gap in the middle of the door panel.
They could clearly see that after the door diagonally opposite them was closed, it was also closed tightly.
Yan Yu shook his little head and suppressed the curiosity in his heart.
"Madam, we are..." Yan Laoer wanted to introduce his identity enthusiastically.
She was interrupted by Mrs. Tian's wave of her hand: "Take the things back, I won't accept them. You guys who work as servants must also know my master's temper. If you make a mistake, you can correct it and make up for it. It's better than coming all the way."
Yongning City came to me and told me that the item should be useful. If it is just for research, there is no need. I will never interfere with the master's official business."
Yan Laoer:......
"The reason why I let you in is for your wife's sake. Your wife is pregnant and not a few months old. It's freezing cold. How can you be willing to let her go out and run around? You really shouldn't."
Mrs. Tian looked at Li Xuemei and said in a softer voice: "Ma'am, please sit down. It's not good to stand for a long time. Are you feeling well? I'll boil some hot water for you so you can warm yourself up."
As he said that, he went out to boil water.
Yan Laoer said awkwardly: "What's that, Master? The student's surname is Yan and his name is Huai'an. He is the teacher's new disciple. I came here specially to visit you in Yongning. I came in a hurry. I didn't mind telling you in advance. Don't worry.
Mind you, by the way, the teacher has a letter for the students to pass on to you."
Mrs. Tian turned around, her face was still calm, but there was a quick look of doubt in her eyes.
The letter was unfolded, neither too long nor too short, as if the number of words had been carefully calculated to fill a piece of paper.
She sat down slowly and raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her who had just been ignored and despised.
She's pretty good-looking, and I have to say that a good-looking face is a plus for every teacher's wife.
It must be good to study, otherwise the stubborn old man wouldn't have accepted someone as his student.
I brought my wife and daughter to the house, and I also brought many small and large bags with me.
"Huaian." Mrs. Tian called naturally: "Go to the kitchen and boil hot water. There is a tea can on the table next to the stove. Make a pot of tea. Your wife doesn't need it. She drinks the hot water."
"Master, please wait a moment." Yan Laoer saluted seriously, stepped back, turned around and went straight to the kitchen.
Li Xuemei stood up, and according to what they had discussed at home, she slowly made gestures of greeting and called: "Master's wife..."
Mrs. Tian wanted to get up and help her, but after thinking about it, she sat down again.
"I accept this gift, but I won't allow it in the future. There are no such rules in my place. Get up quickly and sit quietly. You shouldn't go out at this time. Since you call me Master, I will count you as yours."
Elder, just say a few words, you can't rely on a man for everything. If he wants to come to see me, just ask him to come by himself. Let's meet, no matter when. I'll be happier when you get the hang of it and bring a fat boy over.
"
Mrs. Tian's eyes fell on Li Xuemei's belly this time, and she felt a little warmer: "It only lasts for a month or two, right?"
Li Xuemei said: "You are right. The doctor in our village said that it will be around the first lunar month."
Mrs. Tian had a smile on her face.
"It's a great joy to have more people in the country. I will definitely go there when the time comes."
"Is this the eldest son of your family?"
Yan Yu finally waited for the opportunity to appear.
"Master, I am a girl. I dress like this to make it easier to walk around outside. Hehe, my name is Ruyu. You can call me Xiaoer. I am the second most popular girl in my family, and the second most popular boy.
second.
My father is also a second-level businessman, and he has an uncle, who has a sister and a brother."
"Come here and let me take a look." Mrs. Tian waved to Yan Yu.
Only then did Yan Yu remember that she had forgotten to salute. It was because this master's aura was too strong and she controlled the rhythm from beginning to end.
She walked closer, knelt down, and bowed obediently: "Master."
Mrs. Tian pulled her up, held her hand, and said with a smile: "Your parents are good. Girls are not as comfortable as boys. I see that you are not someone who can stay at home."
Li Xuemei said: "I made you laugh and was so naughty."
Yan Yu looked up with an innocent and cute baby face: "Master, we have wanted to see you for a long time, but dad is always busy. After Hu Ju's accident, the entire government office has been busy and busy, and it has been delayed until now. Hehe, Master
Po, we will live close to each other in the future, and we will come to see you when we have nothing to do."
"By the way, we have brought you a lot of things. I'll get them." Yan Yu ran out quickly.
Mrs. Tian said angrily: "Come on, come on, what are you doing with so many things? Your master said that you were originally from Qishan Mansion, Huju who fled from famine. It's not easy! Master's wife has no shortage of anything here. When I left,
