Dahe Village is prosperous and busy.
The rice in the fields has been harvested, and many farmers are threshing the rice near the big locust tree.
There are two threshing machines in the village, which were built at the village's expense. The whole village can use them for free, but they have to queue up and can only thresh 100 kilograms of grain at a time. Every household takes turns.
Here they are busy threshing rice, and over there they are busy picking cotton. The cotton in August and a half has bloomed with white flowers. After blooming, it must be collected and dried as soon as possible, otherwise the cotton will become moldy easily when it rains...
Cheng Wanwan sat on the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside, feeling very satisfied.
Although she has only been here for two years, she already regards Dahe Village as her hometown in her heart. She feels at ease only after returning here.
When they reached the entrance of the village, the patrol team suddenly shouted in surprise: "Guard Cheng, why are you back suddenly? Is the person in the car Aunt Zhao?"
Cheng Wanwan got out of the car: "Dagang, I haven't seen you for a few months. You have grown taller."
The person guarding the entrance to the village at the moment was none other than Zhang Lao Lai's eldest son Zhang Dagang. When he saw Cheng Wanwan, he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Auntie, you're right, I've grown taller, and I'm almost the same as my father. "
He didn't dare to look at Cheng Wanwan, always feeling that Aunt Zhao's nobility made people afraid to look directly at her. He turned around and shouted, "Uncles and aunts, please stop working, Aunt Zhao is back!"
With this shout, Dahe Village immediately became lively.
People who were busy in the fields raised their heads, people working at home went out one after another, and people working in the workshop couldn't help but run out to see what was going on.
"Da Shan Niang is really back. She has been away for more than four months. I really want to die!"
"Da Shan Niang, you are finally back. I dreamed about you last night, but I didn't expect to see you today."
"If you are tired after this journey, go to my house for a drink of water and have a rest."
"Da Shan Niang, you'd better go to my house. I just bought roast chicken. You can eat some before going back."
The villagers surrounded Cheng Wanwan enthusiastically.
Cheng Wanwan smiled and said: "Thank you everyone, I'd better go back and see the children first, and we'll talk about it later."
"Hey, why didn't you see that guy Sidan?" Old Mrs. Zhu stretched her neck and looked back, "Why didn't Mrs. Qi and the others come back with us?"
"The servants around Dashan Niang were given by the emperor. They disappeared after a trip to the capital. Could it be that the emperor took them back?"
"That kid Sidan didn't come back with us. Did he get into trouble in the capital and was detained?"
"As a human being, sometimes you still shouldn't be too arrogant. It's fine to show off your authority in Dahe Village. But if you continue to act like this when you go to the capital, won't something happen?"
"I returned to the village without bringing anything. It feels like I have escaped. Is the title of the Sui'an people gone?"
The speakers were women from Guihua Village who came to Dahe Village to work, and they kept chattering.
"You lousy bitch, if you dare to say another word, pack up your things and go back to Guihua Village!" Old Mrs. Zhao pushed her way through the crowd and yelled, "If our village hadn't been short of labor, we wouldn't have hired people from Guihua Village. , Go, go, go!”
The women did not dare to say anything more and walked out of the crowd with their necks shrunk.
"Boss, wife, you have lost weight." As soon as Mrs. Zhao came over, she grabbed Cheng Wanwan's hand, "Stop saying anything else, go back and eat first, and then have a good sleep."
Cheng Wanwan was moved.
She has indeed lost a few pounds. She has been traveling every night for the past few days and has not slept well, but she has lost weight. Only people who really care about herself can see it.
Just as he was talking, Zhao Dashan also came. He had just come back from the fields. He was dirty. He squeezed into the crowd and saw Cheng Wanwan. His eyes immediately turned red. He said without crying or laughing: "Er Gou is still not here." When I know that mother is back, I will send someone to inform her immediately."
"Oh, Mother Dashan, you're really back!" Li Zheng squeezed in after all the trouble, "That's great, that's great. You have repeatedly postponed your return before. I was really worried about you staying in the capital. I'm back! The whole village has a rest this afternoon. Let's cook and eat together, just as we welcome Dashan Niang."
Cheng Wanwan wiped the sweat from his head: "It's not necessary..."
"It's necessary, it's so necessary!" Li Zheng said loudly, "Our village just happened to have a good harvest, and the village also made a lot of money. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the whole village had a meal together, and took the opportunity to support Dashan Niang. It’s called the Autumn Harvest Feast, how about it?”
He knew that Dashan Niang didn't like to be too high-profile, so he made up an excuse. As soon as he said this, he immediately got the approval of the whole village.
No matter what Dashan Niang experienced in the capital, whether it was good or bad, now that she is back, the greatest wealth of Dahe Village has also come back. They must let Dashan Niang know that a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as their own doghouse. I hope Dashan Niang should never move away...
Cheng Wanwan knew that she couldn't refuse, so she said: "The folks are good to me, I know it in my heart, and I also brought gifts for everyone, but the gift convoy is behind, Xiaozheng and Sidan are responsible for transporting them back."
The villagers all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Si Dan was fine. They were really afraid that Dashan Niang would anger the emperor in the capital.
Li Zheng laughed loudly: "Da Shan Niang, you go back to rest first, and then come and have dinner together in the evening. It's just a good time to tell us what you know about the capital, and also let us mud-legged people see the world."
Cheng Wanwan nodded and walked home.
Before she reached the door of her house, she saw Cao Yingying walking out of the yard holding Chenchen in one hand and holding Xiao Zhuzhu in the other.
"Grandma..."
Xiao Zhuzhu shook off the second aunt's hand, rushed towards Cheng Wanwan, and then climbed up using all four limbs.
Zhao Dashan quickly picked her up and said, "Your grandma came all the way back, but she can't hold a fat girl like you."
"Wow wow wow, I want grandma!"
The little girl stretched out her hands and stared at Cheng Wanwan pitifully with her dark eyes.
Cheng Wanwan's heart suddenly softened. It felt so good to be missed and cared about.
She hugged the little girl over and said, "Grandma misses you too, but you have to eat less. There is no room for the flesh on your body to grow..."
As she said that, she looked at her eldest grandson in Cao Yingying's arms, "Why is Chenchen so stupid? Does he not recognize grandma anymore?"
When she left, Chenchen was just over a month old and didn't remember anything at all. He was almost half a year old now. To the little guy, Grandma was just a stranger.
Cheng Wanwan did not force herself to hold her grandson. She took out candy from her pocket, one for each grandchild. After making the two little guys happy, she walked into the house, returned to her room, and lay down on the bed to have a good rest.
This sleep lasted until the evening, when the setting sun shone in from the window, giving people a sense of tranquility and tranquility.
She sat up and walked to the door of the room, hearing someone talking in the yard in front.
The family members are all back, Zhao Ergou is holding his son, Zhao Dashan is teasing his daughter, Wu Huiniang is talking to Cao Yingying with her big belly, Cheng Yuanyuan is also sitting and laughing, the maids and women at home are doing their own things, everything is in order sequence.
