Xie Ying pointed forward, "Go forward and turn left at the intersection ahead."
After saying that, she walked forward.
The man on the horse clamped the horse's belly with his legs and started heading towards Changqing Village.
When the man walked away, Xie Ying raised her head and looked into the distance. She had an outstanding appearance. In order to avoid disputes, she always lowered her head and spoke, and never looked directly at people.
But she was curious, why did that person go to Changqing Village, and whose relative in Changqing Village was he?
The man was wearing black clothes and a big-brimmed hat. It was hard to see his face clearly, but judging from his voice, he was a powerful person.
More similar to Fu Changhe.
Xie Ying walked slowly. After all, she was carrying two cans of soy sauce on her pole. When she got home, it was time for lunch.
As soon as she walked to the door of her home, she saw a person standing outside the door, and a horse tied to a tree stump outside the door.
The man watched Xie Ying walk to the door, opened the door, and walked inside.
"I didn't know that the man you were looking for was actually my house."
"My wife is Brother Fu's sister-in-law, right? I was blind and didn't see it earlier."
"Today I am going home on vacation and passing through Fulong County. Brother Fu asked me to bring some money home."
The brothers who returned with Fu Changhe in the army would jokingly say that the second brother's sister-in-law was really beautiful and outstanding in appearance when talking about getting married at home.
When Brother Fu gets married in the future, he will definitely marry someone better than his sister-in-law.
It is said that Fu Changhe has a high vision.
He didn't quite understand it at first, thinking in his mind that a lieutenant with mud-legged origins from the countryside could be as high as he could be, no matter how high his vision was.
Today, he took a closer look at the lady in front of him and realized what it means to have a beautiful woman in the north.
This lady's appearance cannot be said to be stunning, but she is still of the highest quality.
If you dress it up a little, it will look bright and attractive.
Xie Ying opened the door, "Since I am my second uncle's friend, let's come in and have a casual meal."
Chen Mingyu looked at the lady in front of him. He was in a hurry to return to Kyoto. He didn't plan to stay here, but after hearing Xie Ying's kind words, he nodded and entered.
Seeing Xie Ying come back, Mrs. Fu and Brother Run ran out of the house.
"Sister-in-law, who is this person..."
"My grandson, this man knocked on the door, but I didn't open it. He doesn't look like a good person."
Xie Ying explained to them softly: "This is the second uncle's good friend who brought money to the family."
Chen Mingyu looked at the old man and the young man in front of him.
Xie Ying gave some dried fruits she brought from the town to Mrs. Fu and Brother Run, and coaxed them to go inside. Xie Ying talked to Chen Mingyu in the yard.
"Grandma is unconscious and Brother Run is young. There are some things that they can't understand, and I didn't tell them straightforwardly."
"How is your second uncle doing in the military camp? Why didn't you come back this time? His brother passed away, why didn't he come back?"
Chen Mingyu didn't hide anything, and said directly: "There was a war on the border in mid-October. Brother Fu injured his leg bone in the war. He is now recuperating. He wants to come back, but he can't."
"Brother Fu said that the Fu family should still be managed by my sister-in-law. When he comes back from his injury, he will take care of it."
Xie Ying understood.
It turns out that Fu Changhe was injured and couldn't come back.
But she still murmured in a low voice, "I'm injured and can't come back. I always have to write a letter."
"My wife is literate? Brother Fu said that she is illiterate and is afraid that even if she writes a letter home, it will be useless if she sends it home."
His eldest brother passed away, his grandmother was delirious, and his younger brother was still young and unenlightened. His sister-in-law, although her father was a scholar, had never been taught to read or write.
After Fu Changhe thought about it comprehensively, he didn't write a letter home.
This time when Chen Mingyu came home, Fu Changhe originally had no intention of asking him to help him make a trip. Chen Mingyu was from Kyoto, his father was a high-ranking official and he came from a famous family. Although Chen Mingyu was a bastard, his status was not low. He, Fu Changhe, shouldn't bother him. I owe you a favor that I can't pay back.
But he still asked Chen Mingyu to bring money to his family.
Xie Ying: "I learned some words from Brother Dalang. I can't understand the complicated ones, but I can still understand the simple letters from home."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I think you have to go on your way, so I'm going to make something to eat first. You will wait a moment."
After Xie Ying finished speaking, she got up and walked into the house, thinking that she still had some noodles at home to entertain guests, but there was really nothing good to prepare, so she just made a bowl of hand-made noodles.
After entering the kitchen, Xie Ying first picked up a white radish, cut it into shreds, added some salt, soy sauce, some sesame oil, and sprinkled some shredded green onions. A simple cold shredded radish was ready.
Only then did I start making noodles by hand.
Fill a pot with eggs and chopped green onion, then start to add water to the pot, and then cook the rolled noodles.
Brother Run smelled the fragrance of the kitchen and ran over here.
"Sister-in-law made something delicious. It tastes so delicious."
"My granddaughter-in-law is cooking noodles." Mrs. Fu said with a smile.
Xie Ying said: "I've made some hand-rolled noodles. Wait a moment and I'll serve them for you."
Xie Ying first filled a large bowl for Chen Mingyu, the gentleman in the yard, and then filled a bowl for Mrs. Fu and Brother Run. Seeing that there was still some left in the pot, she poured it into her own bowl.
"Mr. Sir, let's eat."
"Thank you, madam." Chen Mingyu looked at the bowl of hand-made noodles in front of him. It was extremely simple. It was simpler than the food he ate in the army, but the fragrance of the noodles was particularly appetizing. "Then I'm welcome. , Thank you madam for your hospitality."
"You're welcome, Mr. Lang."
The treat was just a bowl of noodles. He became more and more polite, but Xie Ying actually felt a little embarrassed.
Chen Mingyu ate at the table outside, while Xie Ying and the Fu family's grandparents ate inside.
After lunch, Chen Mingyu gave Xie Ying a money bag and left on horseback. Before Xie Ying could ask how much Fu Changhe had brought, Chen Mingyu left.
She weighed the money bag. There was a lot of money in it...
Xie Ying went back to the house and counted the money, and she immediately felt grateful to Fu Changhe. Not to mention, the money sent by Fu Changhe was really a timely help.
I can repay all the foreign debt I owed for Fu Changming's funeral, buy some charcoal for the family, and buy some New Year's goods.
Although Fu Changhe failed to come back, Xie Ying was indeed very grateful to him.
A man came to the Fu family on horseback. There were certainly some good people in the village who were curious. Xie Ying did not hide it, saying that it was the second uncle in the army who sent money back.
She paid off all the foreign debts she owed the next day.
Two days later, there was a market in the town, so Xie Ying took her elderly grandmother and young brother Run to the market in Chunhua's family's donkey cart.
"I asked why Madam Ying took Auntie and Brother Run out today. It turns out that Erlang came home to deliver money."
Xie Ying smiled and said, "Yes, the second uncle misses the family and said that he will come back soon to have a look."
"That's good. When Erlang comes back, he can suppress those stupid old men of the Fu family."
