When Liang Huairen was traveling around Daqian, he mostly walked around on a pair of feet. Now that he was in a hurry to return to Beijing, he couldn't do this anymore. However, the caravan entering Beijing was not easy to deal with, so in the end he simply hired Liang Huairen directly. Although it is not as convenient as following a caravan without a carriage and driver, you can completely control the time by yourself. .
On September 21, the Chu family had breakfast early. Shen Luzhu checked Chu Li's luggage again, and the family sat in the main room chatting.
Chu Ping's family originally planned to return to Kaoshan Village today. After knowing that Chu Li would also leave home temporarily, they stayed and planned to stay with Uncle Chu Chu for a few more days. Two juniors left the family at once. If they were to leave home again, If you leave, I'm afraid it will feel deserted all of a sudden.
While everyone was giving instructions to Chu Li, they saw Gao Tongshan walking in from the front shop: "My boss, Mr. Liang's carriage has arrived outside the door. He said he would not enter the hospital."
The originally lively main room suddenly became quiet, and Chu Li's eyes turned red, feeling very reluctant to leave.
Chu Yi put his hand on his younger brother's shoulder, shook it lightly, cheered him up, and then took the lead in picking up Chu Li's luggage and walked out.
After the luggage was loaded onto the carriage, Chu Li's eyes were still red. At this moment, he even felt a little regretful. After hugging his family members one by one, he still walked to Liang Huairen.
"Third uncle, please take care of yourself. Brother and sister-in-law, don't be too tired. I'll be back soon."
Shen Luzhu rubbed Chu Li's bun: "Li, don't worry about home, take care of yourself outside, and use more food. If you don't grow taller and fatter when you come back, my sister-in-law will punish you."
Chu Yi saluted Liang Huairen and said, "My brother, please ask Mr. Liang."
"Don't worry, Boss Chu, Madam Boss, Chu Li is my apprentice, I will protect him all the way. I will take him back after the family matters are settled."
"Thank you for your work."
While everyone was talking, they saw a carriage coming towards them quickly. The driver in front was actually Deng Nanxun. After seeing Chu Li, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's okay. My cousin hasn't left yet, finally." Caught up."
Deng Nanxun said and stopped the carriage, then hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage and helped Chu Xiuxiu out: "Be careful, madam."
Uncle Chu saw that the Chu family's daughter had just returned yesterday, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why are you back on the second day after getting married? Do you know that your parents-in-law knew about leaving so early?"
Chu Xiuxiu smiled reassuringly at Third Uncle Chu: "Dad, my cousin is going on a long journey today, so I have to come and see him off. Don't worry, my parents-in-law are very nice people. We only went out after having tea."
Deng Nanxun also followed: "Don't worry, Dad, my parents won't embarrass my wife over such trivial matters."
"Okay, okay, Nanxun will go back later. Remember to thank your parents for me."
While Weng and son-in-law were talking, Chu Xiuxiu had already arrived in front of Chu Li: "Cousin, you must take care of yourself outside."
Chu Li nodded solemnly: "My cousin, too. When I come back from the capital, I will bring jewelry and food from the capital to my cousin and sister-in-law."
Even though he was still reluctant to give up, Chu Li finally got on the carriage and followed Liang Huairen on the road to Beijing and embarked on his path of learning.
It is now the autumn harvest time, and it is also the busiest time of the year for Shen's traditional Chinese medicine business. Brothers Shen Songjie and Shen Zeqi returned to the Shen family in Hexi Village on the evening of the day Chu Xiuxiu got married.
As soon as the two brothers entered the courtyard, they saw Shen Zeqi's wife, Liu, walking out of the kitchen with an unhappy face. When they saw Shen Zeqi, the two brothers did not stop and opened the door directly and entered their house.
The sky was a little dark, so he couldn't see clearly, not to mention that the other party sometimes had his own cousins. Shen Songjie didn't want to ask more questions, so he made an excuse and said: "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the house to have a rest. My cousin will be soon too." Come inside."
Just as she was talking, Mother Shen walked out of the kitchen: "Are you two back? I guess you haven't eaten dinner yet. The rice is being heated in the pot for you two, but do you want to eat it now?"
When Shen Zeqi saw that it was his eldest aunt in the kitchen, he even started to murmur in his heart, and said hurriedly: "Auntie, don't worry about me. I'll go back to the house to change my clothes, and I'll eat later."
"Sure, the fire in the stove hasn't gone out yet, Zeqi
Remember to wait and eat. "
When Shen Songjie saw Shen Zeqi open the door and enter the house, he hurriedly approached his mother-in-law and asked, "Mom, what were you and Liu doing in the kitchen just now?"
"I left some food for you two and just chatted for a while. What happened?"
Hearing this, Shen Songjie frowned slightly: "No, it's okay. My son just asked me casually. Mom, please go back to your room and rest. I'll just make some food myself."
On the other side, as soon as Shen Zeqi entered the room, he saw Mrs. Liu sitting by the Kang, holding a handkerchief and pulling it back and forth, obviously venting her anger: "It's fine, what's wrong with this?"
Upon hearing this, Ms. Liu raised her head and glanced at Shen Zeqi. The corners of her mouth moved but she said nothing.
Shen Zeqi asked again: "Just now, you and my aunt were the only ones in the kitchen?"
"Um."
After receiving the affirmative answer, Shen Zeqi frowned, puzzled. Her mother-in-law has always been very kind to younger generations like them, and she would never let Mrs. Liu get angry. Moreover, Shen's mother's expression just now was not the same. As if something had happened, he asked tentatively: "Do you think I came back late?"
"certainly not."
"What on earth is that? Did you do something to make my mother-in-law angry?"
Mrs. Liu then said angrily: "How dare I make my uncle angry? I can't help but feel angry with my uncle!"
Shen Zeqi absolutely didn't believe this: "Why would I be so angry with you when I'm so good? What on earth were you doing in the kitchen just now?"
Knowing that she couldn't hide it from her husband, Mrs. Liu muttered, "What can I do? I just want to borrow some money from my aunt, but she sent me back."
"You don't have any money in your hand? Just tell me what you want to buy. Why are you going to borrow money from my aunt?"
As Shen Zeqi spoke, he took out his purse from his arms and gave it to Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu stretched out her hand and pushed her purse back and said, "No, I have saved all the monthly pocket money from my family. It's... my parents want to borrow some money."
