A large group of people from the old Zhao family came, bringing with them a lot of things, including everyone's luggage and specialties from Dahe Town. They packed two large carriages with various items.
Cheng Wanwan was about to help the two elders get into the car, and Mrs. Zhao quickly waved her hand: "You'll either take a car or a boat along the way. I'm almost sick. Anyway, we've arrived in the capital, so let's go home slowly and take a walk." Be more comfortable.”
"The capital is really big." Mrs. Sun marveled, "Before I went to Yun Province, I thought Yun Province was amazing. Now when I arrived in the capital, I realized that ten Yun Provinces are not as good as one capital. No wonder everyone is so excited when they come to the capital. I don’t want to go back.”
Wen whispered: "There are so many rich people in the capital, and everyone is wearing silk and satin."
They came to the capital from a small place, and everyone made new clothes. The clothes they thought were the best were other people's daily clothes.
I thought that the old Zhao family was already developed, but compared with the people in the capital, they were still at the bottom.
"We have been on the road for half a month before we arrived. This time we will spend a little more time in the capital." Mrs. Zhao said, "I have made some money in the past few years, but I have never had time to spend it. Let's take this opportunity to have some fun." Come on, boss, wife, do you think this is true?"
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "You two are getting older, it's time to enjoy your life. As long as you don't worry about your family, you can play as long as you want."
"Da Mai is pregnant with her second child, and the pregnancy is serious, so she and Da Wang are asked to stay at home and take care of it." Old Mrs. Zhao said, "We won't do any business at home for the time being. Your shopkeeper, You Yan, And with the help of your eldest sister Yuanyuan, the business has not stopped... Anyway, there is endless money to be made. Now that I have come to the capital, I don’t care about those things in the village anymore. "
Along the way, everyone talked to Cheng Wanwan about the current situation at home.
Damai is pregnant, and Daya is pregnant too.
Xia Hua was betrothed, and the wedding was scheduled for autumn.
Erwang refused to study anymore and planned to find a job first.
The carpentry shop jointly opened by Mr. Zhao and Ah Fu is doing very well.
Xiaozhuzhu, Xuanxuan, and Shitou, the only son of the Cao family, studied together. All three of them did well in their studies.
In addition, Xiao Zhuzhu is still learning medical skills and can identify more than a hundred herbal medicines.
"The most troublesome thing now is Qiuhua's marriage. This girl will be fifteen after the New Year." Mrs. Zhao has a headache. "And Donghua is also thirteen. The children will grow up if they are not careful, and it is not possible to find her husband's family." Easy to find.”
Cheng Wanwan raised his head and looked in the direction of the autumn and winter flowers. The two girls were shopping with Yu Jiao. As they walked around and took a look, the three girls laughed together from time to time, giving them a girlish air.
In her time, girls of this age were still studying carefree, but now they had to think about getting married early.
"What are you worried about?" Mrs. Sun said carelessly, "Every day the people who come to propose marriage are almost crossing the threshold. Even if my mother doesn't look down on her, otherwise Qiu Hua Dong Hua would already have a husband."
"Autumn flowers are boring gourds, so you can't be careless when looking for a husband. Winter flowers are too noisy, so you can't find a husband who treats your daughter-in-law harshly." Mrs. Zhao said with reason, "You, a mother-in-law, don't care about these things. , I can only come here as an old woman, forget it, I won’t think about these nonsense when I come to the capital."
A group of people walked around and chatted, and soon arrived at the residence.
Just as he arrived at the door, He Xiao came back with Zhao Sanniu.
Seeing a large family appearing in front of him, Zhao Sanniu's eyes suddenly turned red: "Grandpa, grandma, I miss you so much!"
"Sanniu, you heartless boy!" Mrs. Zhao gently hit him on the back three times, then hugged him into her arms, "Let me do the math, I haven't seen you for at least three years. It's really... No conscience, just as heartless as your father..."
Zhao Dashan hammered him on the shoulder: "I haven't seen you for more than three years, and you are actually taller than my eldest brother."
"We Sanniu are in charge now." Zhao Ergou said deliberately and relaxedly, "He is the third person in our family to be an official. Grandpa and grandma should be happy. Let's have a few more drinks later."
Zhao Sidan corrected him seriously: "The first person to be an official is my mother, the second is my father, the third is my eldest brother, and the third brother is the fourth."
"Unexpectedly, my Zhao family has become a big family." Old Man Zhao sighed, "To have so many officials in one family is really a tribute to our ancestors."
Mrs. Sun coughed and said, "The fifth official is naturally Sidan, and the sixth one is our Xuanxuan."
Donghua stuck out her tongue: "If Xuanxuan can really take the official exam and come back, I'll call him daddy."
"What are you so embarrassed about, you damn girl!" Zhao Youcai glared at her, "Your father is still standing here alive, and you are calling out who should be your father."
Mrs. Sun said with a straight face: "This girl has no control over her mouth. She keeps talking nonsense. Daddy, you must beat her up today, otherwise she will cause you some trouble in the capital."
"I was wrong, I don't dare to do it anymore!" Donghua ran around the yard, "Uncle, please help me, grandma, my father is going to beat me to death, and you will soon lose a granddaughter..."
Zhao Yuezhu, Zhao Mingxuan, and Zhao Mochen also followed each other.
The yard was very lively.
Cheng Wanwan's eyebrows were also stained with a smile.
Mrs. Qi asked people to go to the restaurant and bring back good dishes. Three or four tables were set up, and the whole family sat down to eat.
This time, Cheng Fang also came over. She smiled and said, "Madam, it's been a long time since I've eaten Dahe Town's delicacies. I'll go to the kitchen to fry some quick dishes and bring them to you."
Chunhua immediately got up and went to help.
They brought a lot of food raw materials from Dahe Town. Everything is ready-made. Just wash it, cut everything, and put it into the pot directly.
A fried lotus root sandwich, stir-fried lotus root slices, wild mushrooms... they are all authentic farm dishes.
Cheng Fang also used a bunch of dried vegetables he brought to make a pot of dumplings and served them to the table.
She brought the dumplings to the table and placed them in front of He Xiao: "Master He must have not had this bite for a long time. Dried vegetables are not as delicious as fresh ones, but they are okay. Master He, give it a try."
He Xiao suddenly remembered that three or four years ago, when this girl was learning martial arts with him, she would bring a few vegetable dumplings with her every day. Once, she gave one to him to try. He thought it tasted good. Later, the girl often brought vegetables. Give him the dumpling.
He picked up a dumpling, took a bite, and tasted the taste of Dahe Village. At this moment, his soul seemed to have returned to the place it most wanted to go.
He nodded: "It tastes exactly as imagined."
Old Mrs. Zhao also took one and ate it: "I have to say that Fang Yatou's skills are getting better and better, and her cooking is so delicious. I said Master He, you have been away for three years, and you don't know the village. How much I want you to go back... The village spent money to renovate the rough house you lived in before. Don't you love drinking tea? Tie Zhu also thoughtfully planted a few tea trees for you..."
"The camellia trees are growing pretty well." Donghua said with her mouth bulging, "I just know that they always like to cause trouble in the yard. It's a pity that the camellia trees can't grow tea leaves."
He Xiao lowered his head and pushed back the tears in his eyes: "I will definitely go back again, at the end of this year or next year, don't let everyone know me by then."
"How could it be?" Cheng Fang said softly, "Those who have learned martial arts from Master He will never forget Master He."
He Xiao took another bite of the dumpling.
He, too, will never forget those two years in Dahe Village.
