The next day, after eating dumplings on the road, Li Hui and his family set out on their way home again under the watch of Zhou Fei and his wife.
Since the official road from Pingyang County to Wanghe Village had been built before, the journey on this day was particularly smooth, except for the occasional cool breeze that blew into the car. Even though they all put on thicker coats today, they could not move in the car.
Still very cold.
"Before going to the north, you have to ask Dexi and the others to close the car windows, otherwise it will get colder as you go north." Cheng Xue suggested.
Li Hui nodded upon hearing this, wrapped her hand in his big palm, and fell into deep thought.
The fields along the way are full of old farmers rushing to harvest. If this is the case in Pingyang County, wouldn’t the weather get worse as you go north? Knowing in advance is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another.
"Sister, the autumn harvest is very early this year. Do you think we can catch it when we get home?"
Li Yue listened to her sister's words, shook her head and said:
"Probably not. Uncle Zhong must have made all the arrangements for his family. He probably took back all the rice and everything."
"Then let's go home and scavenge. I haven't been to the ground for a long time, and my arms feel stiff."
The voice she suggested was a bit loud, and Li Yue hurriedly made a silent gesture. She was still holding the sleeping Li Huai in her arms. She thought she would get up early and go on the road without having to exercise. Who would have thought that her father would not relax at all, so that the little guy would follow him out.
I ran two laps and am catching up on my sleep.
Cheng Xue's eyes were filled with distress when she saw it, and she reminded her softly:
"His father, Sidan is still young, so he can exercise but in moderation. For him, getting enough sleep and eating well are very important."
Li Hui came back to his senses after hearing the sound and nodded with a "hmm".
The reason for training the child so strictly is, firstly, as a punishment. Secondly, it is to let him endure some hardships, so as not to adapt to the northern border. Since the whole family has decided to take office, it is better to eat the expected hardships first, and then he will be able to get over there.
Take it easy.
The carriage continued to move forward with "squeaking...squeaking...". Lunch was eaten in the car. Li Huai, who had caught up on his sleep, was obviously energetic and kept chattering.
One moment, I was looking forward to the food I wanted to eat when I got home, and the next moment, I was talking about going to see my little cousin Yingjie. They were playing together when they were less than one year old. This is a proper naked baby.
At Shen Shizheng, the carriage turned down the official road and entered the village, half an hour earlier than before.
"It's Uncle Zhong, dad and mom, look, Uncle Zhong has come to pick us up." He shouted from the direction of the willow tree at the head of Lihuai Village.
Cheng Xue came over and took a look. Sure enough, Li Zhong and Tianma and his son were waiting there, but there was no one under the willow tree.
Dexi drove the car and stopped nearby. Li Zhong jumped on the car and said with a smile:
"Sir, madam, it's been a hard journey."
"Uncle Zhong——"
Several children shouted in unison, and Li Zhong was very happy. Although he was a servant and housekeeper, the children of the master's family all respected him, and he was very happy.
He took out a handful of spiced melon seeds from his pocket, gave them to them, and said:
"You must be hungry. I made chicken stewed with mushrooms for you. I used the second crop of hazelnut mushrooms, which are very fragrant. There is also braised fish with vermicelli. Do you want to eat this?"
"Think~!" Li Huai replied in a long voice and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Not to mention the children, even Cheng Xue and Li Hui couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they heard the names of these two dishes.
I really want Liaodong cuisine. Although I often eat it in Beijing, it just doesn’t taste right.
"How are you at home? Are you okay? I feel like it's quite cold today."
Li Zhong nodded, gathered his clothes and said:
"Replying to Madam, the weather has changed recently, it's getting colder, and everyone in the village is busy harvesting. Our rice has been collected, and the crops are being collected. Ma Kuo is reliable. He started working when he noticed something was wrong, and there was no delay. Everything at home
Everything is fine. When I came back from the capital, I was busy looking for people to build a house on the west side of the workshop. The people I recruited a while ago will be enough to handle Dongzi cuisine in the county and town this year."
"How are Yu Zhao and the others doing? Yingjie's mother is about to give birth. Have uncle and aunt taken her over?" Cheng Xue asked.
"My uncle and his wife have all come over, as well as Mr. Yu Fang's family and cousin Yu Wan's aunt. The eldest cousin's wife is indeed about to give birth. The old slave and my wife have tried to persuade her several times, but they can't do it. This time, the old man and his wife are here.
Persuasion will probably be effective..."
As Li Zhong reported the situation at home, several carriages arrived home one after another.
The door has been opened long ago, and Yu Huai and his wife, Yu Zhao, and Yu Han are all waiting at the door.
Before the car stopped, Ms. Liu rushed into the car and shouted——
"You're back, are you hungry? Are you cold?"
"Uncle, I miss you so much."
Li Huai was a diligent talker. As he talked, he got out of the car, opened his little hands, and was hugged by Mrs. Liu. After not seeing each other for more than half a year, the child talked more, grew taller, and lost weight.
Looking carefully, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but nod.
"Okay, that's great. Snow Queen can raise children. Look at our four-egg growth, it's really strong."
The little guy happily rubbed Mrs. Liu's shoulder. Li Yue and others got out of the car and called for help. Yu Wan walked over and took the hands of the two nieces and asked them about their welfare. Li Hui and Cheng Xue were the last to get off the car, and they walked to
In front of Yu Huai and his wife, they all knelt down and kowtowed.
There is nothing I can do, my mother-in-law is my uncle.
After being away from home for so long, it is customary to kowtow to the elders in the family and salute them when they come back. These two are ready-made in front of me.
"Quick, quick, get up, you are an official now, how can you worship ordinary people like us."
Listening to Yu Huai's somewhat lively words, before Li Hui could speak, Yu Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to stop him——
"Look at dad's talkative behavior. He's too unorthodox. No matter how high-ranking an official my brother is, he is still a nephew to you. A nephew can be worth half a son, so it is appropriate for me to salute you and my mother."
After spending so long in the forest farm, they have indeed grown up. Li Hui and Cheng Xue raised the corners of their mouths, and Yu Huai nodded and laughed.
"Okay, okay, you guys have the same idea, I'm an old fool. Get up quickly, the ground is very hard, you must be exhausted from the road. Your aunt's homemade noodles, pickled cabbage and minced meat are your two favorites."
/p>
When Cheng Xue heard this, she couldn't help but nod.
"I just want to eat our Liaodong sauerkraut in the capital, but my aunt loves us."
"Ah, your aunt is the only one who feels pain, doesn't your uncle feel pain?"
Looking at Yu Huai's deliberately provocative expression, Cheng Xue said "hmm" heavily.
"Why do I feel so bad? I just said such unorthodox words!"
The half-joking words immediately relieved the embarrassment just now. Yu Huai looked at the two children who had not changed at all, and felt at ease. Yu Hao and Yu Zhao came over with their wives in hand, and everyone greeted each other.
Cheng Xue looked at Wang's belly and asked with concern:
"How's it going? Are you okay? Are you ready with everything?"
"That's enough, that's enough. My sister-in-law brought us so many materials in the motorcade, enough for the children." Mrs. Wang said while stroking her belly.
If this child is alive, he can come out while his uncle and aunt are at home, so that he can meet them all. Otherwise, if he goes to the north, even though he is close, he may not be able to see him even in five years...
