"Sister-in-law, it's me. Ah Wang." Chen Wang called outside.
"It's coming, it's coming." The people inside were very happy and hurriedly came to open the door. When they saw Chen Wang, a smile bloomed on their faces: "Ah Wang, you haven't come to see my sister-in-law for a long time."
"I've been very busy recently. I just finished my work." Chen Wang's eyes fell on the baby in Tian's arms: "Is this Tiantian? It's so cute!"
"Yes. It's just a full moon, and the sun is shining outside. The child can't bask in the sun. Quickly, follow my sister-in-law into the house." Mrs. Tian warmly greeted Chen Wang to come in.
In the small house, a chicken coop was set up in the corner of the yard, with a few chickens swinging leisurely inside.
Seeing Chen Wang looking at the chicken coop, Tian laughed and said, "You didn't have one last time you came here. Your elder brother built it before I gave birth to Tiantian. He bought a dozen chickens and said he would let me eat them during my confinement period." One day, there are still three chickens left to eat, look at me, I have gained a lot of weight."
Tian is now fatter, and because she is lying at home without seeing the sun, her skin is smoother, whiter and tenderer, and her smile becomes more approachable and lovely.
Chen Wang placed the two hens he bought on the ground, put other things into the house first, then untied the ropes tied to the chicken wings, tied the chickens outside the chicken coop, and fought with the other three chickens first. Nice greeting.
After finishing all this, Chen Wang finally sat down and took a sip of water, "Sister-in-law, where is the eldest brother? Why don't you see the eldest brother?"
"Your eldest brother hasn't been back for two days." Tian held the baby and sat across from him: "He said he was going out for three days, so he should be back tonight, right?"
"Brother, are you so busy?" Chen Wang asked as if he didn't care.
"Well, three days ago, the young master came. He said that he had something important for your elder brother to take care of." Tian said with a smile, "Look, the young master also sent so many supplements."
Following Tian's gaze, there were indeed a lot of things placed in a corner of the room.
"I have a baby and I don't even have time to clean it up. How could I know that you brought so much? How can I eat it here?"
"Sister-in-law needs to raise Tiantian and eat more so that she will be nutritious."
Chen Wang looked at Tiantian. The little person was nestled in the swaddling clothes, sleeping like a baby.
"Would you like a hug?"
Chen Wang hesitated for a while, but decided to take action, "Then I'll give you a hug?"
"Okay, little darling, let your second uncle hug you." Tian said as he handed the swaddling clothes to Chen Wang's arms.
The little person in my arms smelled faintly of milk, which was cute and sweet.
The more Chen Wang looked at it, the more he liked it: "Sister-in-law, she is so cute!"
"Then you hurry up and get a wife and have a baby. You are already a grown-up. If you don't have a suitable person, would you like your sister-in-law to look for one for you? There is a family next door with a girl who is waiting to be married. She is a grown-up. He's good at it and can take care of the housework."
Chen Wang smiled, he wouldn't like it even if it was a good thing: "Sister-in-law, it's no need, I have no plans to get married yet."
"But you..."
"If I want to get married, I'll ask my sister-in-law for help when the time comes." Help me arrange the marriage.
"Okay, anyway, you are just like your eldest brother. You can't see anyone when you are busy. How about Awang staying for dinner tonight? Your eldest brother is coming back and he said he would bring back some braised chicken."
Grilled chicken?
That is a specialty of Suxian County.
Chen Wang smiled and shook his head: "I am also going out with the young lady to do some business and take some time to come out. I have to rush back soon. Sister-in-law, you and Tiantian are at home well. I will leave first and come back when I have time. You and the baby."
"Okay, I won't keep you, and I won't delay you from doing your business." Tian sent people to the door. When she saw that Chen Wang had gone away, she closed the door.
Chen Wang turned around and went to Lihua Tower.
Xu Wanning is in Lihua Building.
Today, Lihua Building is still not open.
The owner of Lihua House is already an old man. He has never been married, has no children, and is alone.
He should be a descendant of Li Hua, who brewed Li Hua Zui, but it took too long and Fang Zi dealt with too many people, so it is impossible to verify whether he is.
All we know is that this old man named Leng Xu was a good brewer and made countless money by drinking pear blossoms.
But he doesn't have any hobbies. His only hobby is that for one month every year, he will close the Lihua Building and go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers alone.
This has been true for decades.
No one knows why he didn't get married.
No one knows where he went during the month he was away from Yancheng.
But Xu Wanning knew it all.
Because at this time in his previous life, Leng Xu would die in two months. As soon as he died, the stories buried in his heart and in Lihua Tower came to light.
Everyone has witnessed with their own eyes a love-hate relationship that lasted for decades.
"Boss Cold."
"Lihua Building is not open today, please come again next time." Leng Xu sat on the deck chair in the yard.
The rocking chair rocked and rocked, and the white hair of the old man half-lying in it also blew with the wind, but it could not dissipate the deep affection in his eyes.
Leng Xu looked at a begonia flower with lush branches and leaves in trance.
Xu Wanning also knows that tree.
After Leng Xu's death in his previous life, his recorded past was uncovered, and among them was this crabapple.
Asking what love is in the world can teach you how to make love between life and death.
Xu Wanning said: "Miss Haitang has a spirit in heaven, and she probably doesn't want to see you so lonely."
Leng Xu looked at Xu Wanning suddenly, his cloudy eyes shining with light, "You...how do you know her?"
The girl Leng Xu liked was called Haitang. No one knew about it except Leng's mother and a few servants around her. But after their death, only Leng Xu knew about their love.
But now, how could she know about the person in front of her?
Leng Xu looked at Xu Wanning warily, his sharp eyes trying to detect Xu Wanning's plans.
But Xu Wanning had no plans.
She walked under the crabapple tree and said, "Everything is spring and people are old alone. After a year, the swallows will return."
Leng Xu didn't get married because he had a childhood sweetheart.
The two men were interested in having a concubine, but because the woman's family background was low and Leng's mother did not agree with the marriage, they broke up abruptly. Haitang regretfully married away in a foreign country. The second year after the marriage, she died due to dystocia. . Leng Xu, on the other hand, cut off love and clung to his love with Miss Haitang, spending his whole life alone.
He had no descendants, and what happened after his death became a worry for him.
Leng Xu had an idea that had never faded away over the years.
But he didn't dare tell anyone.
Xu Wanning, on the other hand, just happened to know Leng Xu's thoughts that could not be told to others but would last forever.
"I also know that during the month you go out every year, you say you go sightseeing, but in fact you go to Haitang's graveyard to stay with her for a month."
"I also know that you want to be buried together with her a hundred years later. This was the agreement you made when you were young."
Leng Xu's body was trembling slightly: "Who are you? How do you know."
