Chapter 17 Going home

Chapter 17 Going Home

Because of Mrs. Zhao’s generosity, her sister-in-law warmly asked Mrs. Zhao to have dinner here before she left. Mrs. Zhao quickly got up and said, “It’s getting late. We’ve been out for a day. It’s going to be dark soon. There’s no way to go back.”

It’s good to go, let’s go back now.”

Uncle Zhao and Sister Zhao repeatedly tried to persuade Mrs. Zhao to stay, but in the end they had no choice but to go back, so they no longer kept Mrs. Zhao.

On the way home, he bought some things for his family. The bullock cart was piled full of them, and Yunyi drove the cart toward Yunjia Village.

The sun sets in the west, on the way home.

Yunyi had a lot of questions and wanted to ask his mother. Yunxi also looked curious and wanted to know how Grandma in the county thought of bluffing people like that.

Yunxi also understood at this time that before going out, grandma specially asked her mother to dress her in the best clothes and comb her hair. At first, Yunxi thought it was her first time to go to the county town, and grandma was afraid of being looked down upon.

, so I asked my mother to take care of herself.

On the way home, Yunyi saw that there was no one on the road, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Mom, why did you think of pretending to be an old lady from a wealthy family to sell things? In front of that shopkeeper Jin this morning, you acted just like a real old lady, and you looked at your son in a daze. If you didn't know that you

It’s my mother, I thought she was a lady from a wealthy family?”

"That's right, that's right, grandma, you are so awesome." Yunxi's big eyes were shining with stars, and she echoed with great support.

The melon-eating duo flattered Mrs. Zhao very authentically.

Mrs. Zhao looked at the adoring expressions on her little granddaughter and son's faces, which were as comforting as eating ice in the dog days of summer, and said with a sullen expression:

"When your mother and I were young, we traveled all over the country with your uncle. Although we didn't go too far, we met a lot of ladies from famous families. I just followed the style of those famous ladies and followed them."

"Mom, did you think about it in advance? Mom, you are so awesome. At that time, my son was wondering why he rented a carriage. This was not just a waste of money. We obviously drove the ox cart here, so why did we spend money to go there?

Rent a carriage?”

"Hey, mother, why are you pinching me?" Yun Xi secretly rolled his eyes and looked at his stupid father as if he were a fool. Wasn't what he said meant to pinch me?

"Why, I dislike your mother for spending money. Besides, I am spending my own money, huh."

"Where, where, how dare my son despise his mother? She spends it as she pleases. If it's not enough for her son to earn money for her, it's just two taels of rent for the car. It's just a drop in the bucket for my mother. Hehe." Yunyi knew that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly acted like a fool.

Yun Xi couldn't stand the flattering look on Mrs. Zhao's face.

"This is not my dad, this is not my dad" Yun Xi thought through self-hypnosis

"Mom, you haven't answered yet. Have you thought about it in advance?"

"Well, last night, your father and I planned it in the room. This idea came from your father. Your father said that we, little country folk, got such a good baby. If we just come to your door like this, we are country people.

They are easy to bully. They directly framed us for stealing their treasures. We didn’t have to spend a penny and we could get a treasure for free. We could only break our teeth and swallow them in our stomachs, and maybe even go to jail. So your father gave

I came up with this idea."

"I see, dad is really cunning."

Yun Xi: "This dad is hopeless. Anyone who wants it can take it away. He's so incapable of talking."

"Oh, mother, why did you hit me on the head again?" Yun Yi rubbed his head pitifully.

"How do you speak? Can you say, what is cunning and cunning? Is that a good word?"

"Bah, I made a mistake. It shouldn't be a cunning one. My father was very scheming and had no omissions. Hehe, mother, you can't tell my father this." Yun Yi said to Mrs. Zhao with a flattering look.

After a while, Yunyi suddenly asked again: "Moreover, Mom, why did you buy jewelry in the store in the end? It cost more than a hundred taels. That shopkeeper Jin is really cheating."

"This is also what your father told you. If the price exceeds two thousand taels, you have to spend more than one hundred taels in the store. Otherwise, you go into such a big shop and don't buy anything, and still go out with a few thousand taels.

, maybe as soon as the front foot is gone, the back foot will be robbed. By spending a little money, the store will make a profit, and we will be safe."

Yunyi "..."

"My father is so powerful and resourceful, but mother, you are even more powerful. You picked my father at first sight, hehe." Yun Yi turned into a flatterer and only praised Mrs. Zhao to the point where she felt extremely comfortable.

"Hmph, hurry up and catch the car, and we'll talk about it when we get back."

"Hey, listen to me," he said, waving the whip in his hand, slapping the cow's butt moderately, and driving the cart towards home.

Yunxi also satisfied her curiosity and fell asleep contentedly in Mrs. Zhao's arms. After all, she was tired after a long day and the little baby's body couldn't bear it.

In the Yun family, since late afternoon (about 2 p.m.), Yun Dong and his two girls have been standing on the threshold of the gate, looking at the distance not far away like three small "milk stones".

"Sister, why aren't you back yet? I don't know if grandma will bring me something delicious." Yun Dong's fair face was full of expectation.

"Sister Da Ya, do you think grandma and sister will be back soon?"

"It should be soon. Xiaodong, why don't you go back to your room and take a nap? Maybe grandma and sister will go home when you wake up." Daya, a caring sister, comforted Yundong.

"Damn it, dad didn't even wait for me to wake up. He took grandma and sister to the county without me, huh." Yundong said to his dad angrily on his face.

Da Ya couldn't answer what her cousin said. She couldn't say: "It will be 3 o'clock in the morning when you wake up, so grandma and uncle don't have to go to the county."

I can only explain: "Maybe it is inconvenient for uncle to take you. Grandma wants to watch my sister and take you with her. There are many people. What if the abductor abducts you? You won't be able to go home by then."

, and I can’t see my parents anymore.”

"Then... forget it then. I'm still at home. Sister Eldest Ya, I'm going to find Goudan and go up the mountain to get bird eggs. When Grandma comes home, you ask Sister Er Ya to call me."

"Okay, go ahead. Pay attention to safety and don't go into the mountains." Da Ya breathed a sigh of relief and told Yundong.

"I know." Mrs. Kung had already run out the door when she replied.

"Sister, what are we doing? I want to go and play with Zhaodi." Erya moved her butt, leaned closer to Daya and said to her sister.

"Then go ahead, remember to come back early, and don't talk to people you don't know, okay?"

"I know, eldest sister, I'm going out." After saying that, Erya also went out.

Daya herself was the only one left on the threshold of the house. Daya sat there for a while and then got up and went home.

When Mrs. Zhao and Yun Xi were at Uncle Zhao's house, they didn't know that there were three children in the house, and they were waiting for them with hope~



Yunyi arrived at Yunjia Village after the sun had set its last ray of light. He drove the ox cart to the door of his house, called out the second and third children, and took the things in the cart home.

"Brother, why did you buy so many things?" Yun Bo came out immediately after hearing the sound and said in surprise when he saw the things in the car.

"That's right, mother, our family has become rich?" Yuntian looked at Mrs. Zhao with an expression on her face that her family had become rich.

The second and third sons were a little surprised when they saw the bullock carts piled with grain, cloth, etc. They kept moving, carrying things home.

"Nai, mi. You are back. I have been waiting for you all day. Wow, mi, you bought a lot of things."

Yundong and the two ya heard the noise in the house and ran out closely behind the adults. They saw a cart full of goodies and exclaimed.

"Shh, keep your voice down. We'll talk about it when we get home later. Move your things home first. Boss, bring some snacks to the village chief's uncle's house and send the ox cart over."

"Okay mom, I'll go right away."

Yun Xi was also woken up by the sound, and said in a dazed little voice: "Nai, are we home yet?"

"My dear, you're awake and you're home. Let your mother take you home and eat before going to sleep."

Li Wanrou also came out, took Yunxi from Mrs. Zhao's hand, and walked home.

After all the things on the ox cart were moved home, Yunyi drove the ox cart to the village chief's house with a small bag of snacks.
