When everyone was crowded in the small courtyard of the banker's house, Zhuang Er held Dahei's hand and walked back on the small road outside the village.
"Girl, we are almost in the village, are you happy?"
He was asking Zhuang Keqing, but Zhuang Er burst out laughing himself.
He is homesick.
I miss my wife, my son, and my mother!
"Second uncle, aren't you happy too!"
The man and the girl looked at each other and smiled, both happy.
They're home now. They've been out for more than half a month.
All the way into the village.
The wind blew the wheat seedlings, the fields were green, and the fragrance of moist soil mixed with vegetation filled the air, causing Zhuang Keqing to take a deep breath.
"Hey? Why is there no one in this field?"
Zhuang Er had doubts in his mind.
Nowadays, many people are working in wineries, and they have to finish their work in the fields before noon. Even the lazy people have no intention of being lazy for the sake of money.
Logically speaking, there should be some personal work going on in the fields at this time, right?
"Did something happen in the village?"
Zhuang Er was startled and stepped a little faster.
"Girl, let's go faster."
Zhuang Keqing also noticed that something was wrong with the appearance of the village, so he nodded in agreement and looked at Shen Ling who was standing aside.
Shen Ling looked back at her and reached out to hold her hand.
"It's okay. There are many people in the village. If anything happens, everyone will help each other."
"Um."
Although that was said, the further the three people and a car went toward the end of the village, the more they felt something was wrong.
You can usually see people in every house during the day, but why is there no movement at all today?
Zhuang Er felt uneasy in his heart.
When they go out for a trip, what happened in the village?
The mule cart turned the last bend. According to common sense, the three of them should be able to see the Zhuang's yard from a distance, but when Zhuang Keqing looked around, he couldn't even see his own yard.
There are so many people around!
Something happened at home?!
Her heart tightened, and the hand held by Shen Ling suddenly became wet with sweat.
"Aling..."
Zhuang Keqing's voice was a little panicked.
"It's okay, let's go back quickly."
After saying that, Shen Ling jumped out of the mule cart and before the cart was still stable, he hugged the girl and carried her out.
"Second uncle, let's go back first."
He turned around and greeted Zhuang Er, then took Zhuang Keqing's hand and ran home.
At this time, there was an awkward silence inside and outside the dealer's yard.
Who would have thought that when the people announcing the good news have arrived, the person taking the exam is still on the way?
This young student has to say, results will be released five days after the exam. How long has it been? Does it take that long to walk from the county seat to Erli Village?
Could it be that Yatou and Shen Xiaolang encountered something on the way and were delayed?
At this time, everyone couldn't help but become worried.
Shen Xiaolang is the first criminal in his village, so he must not get into trouble!
"Uncle Tian, what happened to my family? Are there so many people around?"
Although she was worried, Zhuang Keqing still didn't lose her composure. Seeing that there were too many people around the door of her courtyard, she couldn't squeeze in, so she could only ask a villager named Tian outside who was involved in the potato farm work and had some interactions with her before.
.
"Hey, that's not all..."
Tian Kai stepped inside and didn't pay attention to the word "my family" that Zhuang Keqing said behind him. He just thought that there were still people who didn't know the news, so he turned his head and wanted to show off a few words to others.
Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw the banker's girl and Shen Xiaolang, the head of the case, looking anxious.
"that is……"
When Tian Kai saw Shen Ling, he couldn't hold his tongue straight.
How could he have imagined that Wenquxing would be standing in front of him like this? How close he was, could he still be tainted with some literary spirit?
"Uncle, tell me, what happened to my family?"
Zhuang Keqing asked repeatedly, and people around him gradually noticed the voice behind him and turned their heads.
But in the end, like Tian Kai, he opened his mouth and didn't know whether to congratulate you first or ask why you came back so late.
In the end, it was Shen Ling who pulled Zhuang Keqing aside and walked into the courtyard.
"Ke'er! Brother Ling!"
"Miss Zhuang!"
Qin Manzhi burst into tears of joy when the two people who were worried about whether something happened on the road suddenly appeared in front of him.
Tian Bo, who was standing at the other end, also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this time I have found my lucky money!
…
If there is anything new in Erli Village recently, the wine shop and the building of a breeding farm are nothing. It is Shen Xiaolang who got the head of the case.
Head of case!
Twice!
When had such a genius come out of these eight villages?
I heard that Shen Xiaolang was also a son-in-law who married into the banker's house!
Do you think this banker has been burning incense for many lifetimes to be able to marry such a talented Wenqu master?
The villagers of Erli Village are lucky enough to have a strong and straight waist whether they go out to work or go to town to buy.
When asked where you are from, you will raise your head and say, "We are from the same village as the head of the government trial. What's wrong? Don't you envy me?"
Even to celebrate Shen Ling winning two yuan in a row, every family in the village spontaneously organized a banquet. Those who had meat produced meat, those who had eggs produced eggs, those who caught fish caught fish, and those who caught shrimps caught shrimps. Liu Da was even more I also invited the butcher to come and kill a fat pig for the banquet!
Some people are happy here, and some are worried about that.
Qian, the old wife of the banker, has been sighing and beating her chest all day long since she learned that her grandson-in-law was the head of the case. The second daughter-in-law, Li, couldn't stand it and thought about asking her husband to call a doctor to avoid being depressed. Got pregnant.
"Mom, don't think about this all the time. My eldest niece is not that stingy. If you really can't bear to lose face, I'll just take some things and run away."
This time when Zhuang Er came out of the house, he was no longer as intimidated as before, and his mind seemed to have become more flexible.
"Son, I really regret your mother!"
Mrs. Qian clutched her chest and sighed, wishing she could go back in time to the time when her eldest son was gone.
If I hadn't been so stingy at that time and had given Mrs. Qin some money, even if it was just to maintain some superficial friendship, it would have been better than the troubles like now.
Then I thought about how I had disturbed the marriage between my granddaughter and my grandson-in-law because of the mere tofu business, and I became even more panicked.
These are all people with the surname Zhuang, and they were supposed to have the closest relationship, but they were mixed up and turned into what they are now. It's really like shooting themselves in the foot.
Tell her how not to regret or hate!
Zhuang Er saw that his mother had a heart problem and couldn't persuade her to find a reason, so he stopped trying to persuade her. He just thought that in a few days, the big house would be out of the limelight and the old lady would be fine if she wanted to come.
Unexpectedly, after a few months, the old lady not only did not recover, but became weaker and weaker, to the point where she could not even get off the bed.
"Master, what should we do? Why don't you go to Daxing Village and invite Doctor Li to come."
Mrs. Li squeezed the water out of the cloth in her hand, and while wiping the face of the old lady with her eyes closed, she spoke to Zhuang Er.
"Dr. Li has become very famous recently. Several families I am familiar with all say that Dr. Li's medicine can cure illnesses and he is very miraculous."
Zhuang Er glanced at his mother who was lying on the kang. The old man no longer looked like he was full of energy and had a glowing face. Instead, his face was ashen and his lips were white, which made him look bad.
He was also worried about his mother's condition, so he nodded, took the coins from the house and went out.
It was almost noon when he went out. He hurried and hurried slowly, and when he arrived at the doctor's house in Daxing Village, it was already a long time after dinner.
"Doctor Li, is Dr. Li at home?"
When the honest man saw that there was no one in the yard, he didn't go in even though the door was open. He only shouted a few times outside.
"Hey, here we come."
A female voice came from inside the house.
Why is this voice so familiar?
Zhuang Er felt strange in his heart and couldn't help but cast his eyes straight on the door of the hut.
Who is it?
The wooden door opened with a creak, and out came an almond-eyed girl with pink cheeks and curved eyebrows, wearing half-armor. She was his eldest niece!
"Ke'er?"
Zhuang Er was confused.
He saw Zhuang Keqing walking toward him with a smile. He hugged a large radish with one hand, which contained bits and pieces of cut medicinal materials, and was still picking and choosing from it with the other hand.
"Second uncle."
"You, why are you here?"
Zhuang Er simply couldn't understand. Why did the eldest niece look like she was arranging medicinal materials?
"Didn't I tell my second uncle?"
Zhuang Keqing smiled slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "I am studying medicine with Dr. Li now."
