When Tianyin turned around, the carriage arrived at the gate of the courtyard as promised.
Mr. Du and Du Pingren woke up early to see each other off, helped carry things into the car, and cooked eggs and dumplings.
"Child, take these to eat on the road. I'll leave the basin with you and return them to me when you come back from Fucheng."
"Okay, thank you, uncle." Cheng Xue took it without politeness.
When Li Heng carried him into the car, he looked at Du Pingren and said:
"While teaching, you should not neglect your studies. You should work hard to move up. The higher you go, the better. Don't be satisfied with the status quo."
Du Pingren nodded heavily and responded with a "hmm".
The mother-in-law sat firmly, the driver whipped his whip to drive the carriage, and the grandfather and grandson stood there, watching the carriage leave.
After a while, Mr. Du happily patted his grandson on the shoulder and said:
"Did you see that your Aunt Li likes you very much?"
Du Pingren knew the meaning of his grandfather's words and shook his head hurriedly:
"Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, Aunt Li is just talking politely."
"What polite words are telling you that the higher you go, the better. What do you mean? You must work hard, don't you know? I have identified Tangtang as my granddaughter-in-law. You should hold on tight before the time comes... Hey, I
We haven’t finished talking yet, why are you leaving? This kid.”
The grandfather and grandson had a great time discussing the affairs of their grandson's wife.
Li Hui from Wanghe Village was very anxious because Cheng Xue did not come back on time.
Although he didn't show it on his face in the past two days, he was very worried about Fucheng in his heart. He waited until midnight yesterday, knowing that he wouldn't be able to come back at midnight, but he just didn't want to sleep.
I spent some time this morning and went to the village to see it several times.
The last time I met Dong Cheng and Dong Bin who were going to work, Dong Bin greeted him excitedly and said:
"Brother Huizi, let's do some morning exercises."
Li Hui said a perfunctory "Ah" and still stretched his neck to take a look.
When Dong Cheng saw this, he knew that it was because the mother and son did not come back last night.
"Don't worry, my brother and sister may have been delayed by something on the road. With Tiedan following us, everything will be fine. Let's see about noon. I guess they rested in the county last night."
Otherwise, it has to be a bare-butted doll. With one look and one state, you can guess almost everything.
Li Hui thought about the keys she took away, and his anxious mood eased a lot.
"I'm fine, third brother, don't worry. Go to work quickly and earn more while you're working hard. It's rare that your Shuanzi and Zhuzi want to study again, so provide for them."
Mentioning his two sons, Dong Cheng nodded happily.
Parents all hope that their children will be successful, not to mention that there is a school in the village. It is so convenient but not going there is a waste.
"Yeah, I haven't thanked you yet. If you hadn't made them interested in studying again, they wouldn't have gone back to school."
"You should, my child. Go to work quickly, don't be late."
Nowadays, the system of the forest farm is different from before. He specially helped Xiao Qinglin come up with ideas and used full attendance and full attendance to motivate everyone.
Although we pay on a piece-rate basis, there are still people who arrive late or take time off on weekdays.
The forest farm needs production, so use twenty cents as an incentive, and naturally all problems will be solved.
After watching the two brothers go away, Li Hui met Dong Hong on his way home.
Neither of them spoke to each other, as if they didn't know each other.
Jealousy can really make people lose their true feelings, and Dong Hong is a real example.
Obviously his own life is not bad, but he just can't bear to see others living better than him.
When they got home, Li Yue had already made breakfast. Yan Yixin also finished washing the two children, and sat on the kang. Four days before and after Cheng Xue left, the home was obviously different from the past.
Li Tian stopped making noises, and Li Huai stopped sleeping well.
In order to comfort Li Huai during the first two nights, he didn't even sleep well. It was too exhausting.
"Father, mother, come back?"
Looking at his youngest son with a surname, Li Hui touched his slender chin and said:
"Don't worry, your mother can't bear to leave you. She will be back at noon. You have to eat more, and the flesh on your face has lost weight. Your mother should feel distressed when she sees you back."
The child already had a bitter summer, and because he missed his mother, he lost weight quickly.
Help him peel the eggs, look at Li Yue and say:
"You stay at home today and don't go to school. If your mother comes back, go to the school to find me. Don't worry about whether I'm teaching or not."
"I know, dad." Li Yue said while serving porridge to Yan Yixin.
Cheng Xue and Li Heng were not at home, and they did not share tables when eating. Wen Tian did not come over in the past few days, probably because he did not want to trouble Li Yue.
After sending her father and brother away, she started a busy day.
Clean the table, wash the dishes, feed chickens, dogs, wash clothes...
Li Tian and Li Huai didn't go out either, so they were playing with the dogs in the yard.
Even though the children are young, they heard clearly what their father said during breakfast and kept it in their minds.
The three siblings waited at home, and finally at the end of the day, Cheng Xue and Li Heng arrived.
"Mom is back, we are all anxious." Li Yue said while helping to get things.
Cheng Xue paid the fare and went directly to the school without entering the house.
When she arrived in town, she specifically asked the coachman to go to the dealership. After asking, she learned that Master Gong sent someone to Maoshan Town on the day he returned from Fucheng, and there has been no news since then.
The car dealership in the town has already reported it. It is said that people have been sent to check today and there will be news in the evening. But Cheng Xue thinks it is unlikely. It is estimated that the "epidemic" in Maoshan Town is real, and you will not be able to get out if you go in.<
/p>
He went directly to the school to find Mr. Lian and told him in detail the news he had heard from Fucheng and the news from the car dealer in the town.
"...Sister, I think we have to leave as soon as possible. Regardless of whether the place in Maoshan Town is real or not, be careful and sail for thousands of years. When we get to Fucheng, it doesn't matter what we do, nothing will be delayed.
No, what do you think?"
Lian nodded when she heard this. Seeing that her lips were peeling, she quickly urged her to drink water.
"I listen to my sister-in-law. It's important to go to Fucheng and we can't delay. Let's get up early tomorrow and try to get into the city before dark. If that doesn't work... we'll go to the town to stay tonight, so we can set off when the city gate opens tomorrow morning.
”
Cheng Xue thought this suggestion was reliable, put down her cup and nodded.
"Okay, then I'll go find Huizi now, and you should tell Brother Zhou Fei quickly. The substitute teacher hasn't arrived yet... I have to trouble Master Xin to work harder. You tell him, and I'll give him the extra monthly payment."
I thought he might be able to help."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, we can do all this. Go back and pack your things quickly. I have a house in the town. You can spend the night at my place tonight. Let's get up early and leave early tomorrow."
Cheng Xue was not polite this time and hurried to the front to find Li Hui.
The two of them talked while walking, and when they arrived home, the matter was settled.
Li Hui stood at the entrance of the courtyard, holding her shoulders and saying:
"You go to Yu Zhao's wife and tell her about our departure. I'll go into the house and take the children to pack their things. We'll set off immediately. We won't wait any longer."
