"Ding-deng-deng."
The sound of horse hooves gradually sounded.
From far to near.
Chen and Jiang Xiuming stood up quickly, stretched their necks and looked outside. As the sound got closer, they simply stood up and walked down the steps, staring forward motionlessly.
When Shen heard the voice, she immediately became energetic.
"Wake up, wake up, your sister-in-law is back."
There was a bit of excitement and joy in her voice.
"Where are you?"
Brother Yu asked in a sweet voice.
Mrs. Shen pointed towards the outside of the inn.
really.
A gray carriage drove slowly towards the inn.
Just stopped.
Chen, Shen and others immediately came forward to greet them.
"Son...my son!"
Mrs. Chen couldn't help crying.
Before anyone could see her, the sound of crying could be heard far away.
Ji Qingqian let the four of them get off the carriage first.
Goudan got off the carriage and ran towards his mother.
"Mom...Dad, we are back!"
The four young students ran toward Jiang Xiuming and his wife while crying.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived in front of Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen raised her hand and slapped each of them in the face. After the slap, she hugged the four children and cried bitterly:
"Do you know that you scared your mother to death? If something happens to you, how will your father and I survive!!!"
Although Jiang Xiuming didn't cry, he still held back his tears. The hair on his temples turned white with fear. When he saw the children coming back, he just kept saying, "Just come back, just come back!"
Mrs. Shen walked up to Ji Qingqian and others with her two children. Her nose twitched, and she held Ji Qingqian's hand and couldn't help but shed tears. "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, aunt." I’ve heated up the soup for you and I’ll bring it out right away.”
"It's okay, don't bother. We'll have something else to eat later. It's so late, so you should take Sister Ruo and Brother Yu back to bed first."
After finishing speaking.
She knelt down and touched the heads of the two little guys, "You guys, why don't you go to bed so late? My sister-in-law said she would come back safely. Are you waiting for her to bring delicious food and fun?"
She teased the two children quietly.
Brother Yu's nose twitched, and he put his hands on his hips and said, "No, my sister and I are waiting for my sister-in-law to come back. We are not here for food and fun. We are afraid that we will never see my sister-in-law again."
As he said this, Brother Yu's eyes turned red.
"Yes, we ticked the boxes. Sister-in-law said she would come back well. Sister-in-law...my brother and I both miss you."
Sister Ruo nuzzled her face with her nose, looking very cute.
"Close your eyes and see what my sister-in-law brings you!"
Ji Qingqian put her hands behind her back.
Xueyao quickly put the prepared gadgets in her hands.
"Look, do you like it?"
She took out two small lighted rabbit lanterns, two rattles, and two tiger-head dolls.
As soon as the two children opened their eyes, they couldn't help but exclaimed, "So beautiful, so cute, thank you, sister-in-law."
Ruo Jie'er's eyes were brighter than the bright moon in the sky. She pulled her brother and walked towards the house without caring about anything, just like a toy in her hand.
Mrs. Shen smiled helplessly and shook her head, "These two children are so playful. They said they were not sleepy just now, but now they want to go back to the house."
"Children are like this. Auntie, you should go back and rest first. Don't worry about us."
She tilted her head and smiled at Shen.
Shen was really sleepy, so she yawned, said a few words to Jiang Yubai, and then went back to spend time with her two children.
Mrs. Chen waited for them to finish speaking before walking over.
She fell to her knees with a plop, laughing and crying at the same time, "Mrs. Jiang, thank you, thank you, thank you for rescuing them. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with you, otherwise I would not be able to live well with you, mother-in-law."
She hurriedly helped him up, arched her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's okay. I also know that my aunt loves her son very much. Stop kneeling and get up. Goudan and the others are all fine. Don't run around in the future. Otherwise, , I won’t have such good luck next time.”
"Yes, yes, I know. Auntie knows. You four, why don't you come over quickly and kowtow to your benefactor."
Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, her confidence suddenly increased, and she roared at the four children. The four children ran over and knelt down on the ground. Ji Qingqian couldn't help her up.
Xueyao and Jinshu understood what she meant and helped to help the person up.
"This is the food our wife gave you. In the morning, you gave all the food to my wife to make pancakes. My wife said this is a gift to you in return."
Say it.
Xueyao took a bag of polished rice, and Jin Shu took a bag of flour, both weighing ten kilograms.
Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Mrs. Jiang to be so kind-hearted.
She sighed for a long time. I was moved to tears, but I didn’t know what to say. I had already said thank you many times, so I couldn’t help but hold Ji Qingqian’s hand and solemnly promised:
"Young Madam, if you need us in the future, just call us. We don't charge you for the work, and the same goes for these four brats."
"Okay, you guys go and have a rest. You've been waiting all day, so you're really tired."
As soon as the warm words came out, Mrs. Chen was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She only knew that when she got to the place of exile, she would help Mrs. Jiang to work, and she would do whatever she asked her to do.
Jiang Xiuming also followed behind and hummed, thinking that if he catches a fish next time, he must send it to Mrs. Jiang.
Others looked at Ji Qingqian's appearance and didn't know why, but they felt very moved. Especially Tantai Lie felt that this warm scene seemed like his grandfather had been so gentle to him.
Xueyao and Jin Shu looked proud that such a kind and capable master was their young lady.
An Er was almost anxious as he followed behind. Where is the weapon Madam mentioned? ? ?
He waited for a long time and kept winking at An San. Unfortunately, An San didn't seem to understand. He just shrugged and did nothing or say anything. In desperation, he coughed twice.
"Ahem, madam, madam!!"
An Er bared his teeth and looked at Ji Qingqian with a smile.
"Don't be ridiculous. Madam will tell you later."
Jiang Yubai couldn't help but say, this kid, why are you so anxious? Qian Qian will never forget him.
"Yes, sir!"
After being told by the young master, An Er buried his head unhappily.
Ji Qingqian tilted her head and looked under a big stone table outside the door of the inn. She smiled and said, "You guys go over there and wait for me. I'll get some things over here."
"Qianqian, thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Yubai and Shen Yunzhou said something at the same time.
The two laughed together again.
Hearing the laughter outside, Mo Laosan also walked out with his clothes on, just in time to meet Ji Qingqian who was coming towards him, "Mrs. Jiang, I've been waiting for you to come back."
Ji Qingqian smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. Let's have a late-night snack together, go ahead, they are all waiting over there."
"convenient?"
Mo Laosan asked unconfidently.
