When he returned to Ninghua from the capital city, Shen Mingjun and Shen Xi and his son laughed and froze. When they returned, the two became four people, carrying heavy luggage beside them. Chen Xi hugged in the corner, who looked like an old witch, and his body was so uncomfortable that he couldn't even bother to say something.
Even the horse seemed not very satisfied, and there was always a sniff on the road.
It's okay to sit in the carriage and rush on the road. As long as you don't talk, you can just sleep on the wall of the carriage. But when you arrive at the inn where you are staying along the way, Wang's troubles come.
I said that the food was salty, and I accused the tea of being slower and that I had to take a bath at night, but I also despised that the bath water was slower.
The most disgusting thing is that I took a shower and asked the store to change the water.
The entire inn, from the shopkeeper to the waiter, is a man. Who dares to enter her room while she is taking a shower?
However, the rich man was the old man. The money of Wang's flower Shen Mingjun was not distressed. The money was revealed. The inn shopkeeper went to the backyard to call his wife. The wife refused to come. The shopkeeper's mother was reasonable and came over to help change the hot water. Chen Xi ran up and down to obediently pass the message at the door, which made him very tired.
There were four people, and there was a woman. Wang wanted a room herself, and the remaining three people were too crowded. In the end, they could only open two more rooms. Chen Xi and Shen Yongzhuo got up.
At night, because Shen Yongzhuo snored, Chen Xi didn't sleep well. Anyway, he didn't want to see the old woman's face, so he just took a rest in the carriage during the day.
Finally, two days after departure, on the afternoon of the eighth day of the lunar month, the carriage arrived safely at the Fucheng City.
Because I didn't ask anyone to inform me in advance, I went home this time when I went to the city.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Zhou did not come back from the pharmacy, so Chen Xi volunteered to come over and call people. After seeing Chen Xi, Zhou was overjoyed and quickly asked Xiu'er to go to the Yin No. 1 to call Hui Niang back.
"Xiao Lang didn't ask anyone to notify him in advance when he came back. He just received the letter from you to the county examination in the first two days." Xie Yuner said with a smile. She was also very happy that Chen Xi passed the county examination. Chen Xi didn't have time to say more to her because there was still Wang and Shen Yongzhuo and his son in the family needed to be received.
As soon as he left the back hall, Lin Dai and Lu Xier hurriedly ran down from the upper floor. Lin Dai could still maintain his demeanor. Lu Xier didn't care about it and directly pierced her head into Chen Xi's arms and said in surprise: "Brother Chen Xi is back."
Afterwards, even if Chen Xi and Zhou returned home, Lu Xier remained in Shen Xi's arms and refused to let go. This made Lin Dai's face behind the two of them resentful, and her fierce look seemed to stare at the "dog man and woman" in front of her to death.
"Oh. Isn't this a brother and sister? I haven't seen each other for more than a year, and it seems to be much more plump." When Wang saw Zhou, his tone was a bit sarcastic.
Shen Mingwen went to the capital half a year ago. He hoped that Shen Mingjun would find a way to take his wife and children here to live a good life without any restrictions. Zhou wrote a letter to Li and pierced the window paper. Wang only learned about this later. Since then, she has always been in a grudge against Zhou, so she is waiting to find an opportunity to meet Zhou and make a good argument.
But this time, Wang accompanied her son to the Fucheng for the exam. Even if she had a thorn in her heart, she could not show it too much. She still maintained her style of scolding without dirty words. Even when she satirized Zhou, Zhou could not hear anything else.
Because Zhou was pregnant and had better family conditions, he ate well and slept well, so he naturally gained weight. The one who said that Zhou had "a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek must be a shrew." She now clearly stated that Zhou was "full", but in fact she was also using Zhou's previous appearance and implicitly mocked Zhou as a shrew.
Zhou didn't know whether he could taste the meaning of it. He held a big belly that had been pregnant for more than seven months and received Wang's mother and son in a smile.
Because I didn't want to listen to the adults' conversation, Chen Xi didn't follow me and stayed in the yard to accompany two loli.
"Xi'er, Dai'er, have you missed me in the past month?" Chen Xi pinched Lu Xi'er's round little face and asked with a smile.
"Think about it, think about it, I think about Brother Chen Xi every day. If you don't come back, I will let my mother take me to find you." Lu Xier acted coquettishly in Shen Xi's arms.
Lin Dai hummed gently: "I have only been away for a month, who cares about it? It's best not to come back in the year."
Chen Xi knew that Lin Dai and I were both hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. In fact, the little girl was so hot inside that she laughed: "I'm afraid that my little Dai'er would be a widow, thinking about Dai'er's beautiful appearance, and I was afraid that someone outside would be thinking about it, so I ran back immediately after the exam."
Hearing Chen Xi's praise and missing words, Lin Dai stuck out her tongue and made a face, making a disgusting look, but there was a smile on her face.
While he was talking, Wang's dissatisfied voice came from inside: "My brother and sister, it's rare for us to go to the city of our mother and son to go to the city of our country. We are also considering letting Dalang pass the test successfully. What's wrong with living in your home? You're just entertaining us like this, and we must drive our orphans and widows to stay in the inn?"
Zhou quickly explained: "Sister-in-law, I don't mean that. I mean, when my uncle was in the capital, we helped rent a yard. Now the yard is empty, so it's just right for my sister-in-law and Dalang to live there. We have a lot of people in our family and a small place, so we really can't live in so many people."
The easier it is to speak, the louder Wang's voice is: "Don't mention this to me. If it weren't for you, my husband would have been taken back by my mother and locked up in the house next to the woodshed in the backyard and couldn't get out for half a year? I was angry when I thought about it. You have a husband and a son, and now I have a belly again. As for me, I have lived in a house with my husband for the past six months, but my mother just doesn't make sense, and I can't even let me go in and see my husband. It's all your fault!"
Wang's tone came up, regardless of whether he was dependent on others and was asking for help, he cursed fiercely without any mercy.
Originally, Zhou was pregnant and her son passed the county examination. Now even her husband is back. Yi's family is harmonious and doesn't want to be angry, but Wang is reluctant to give in, as if he was coming from afar to quarrel with her.
"My husband, tell my sister-in-law."
Zhou had no choice but to compromise, "The pharmacy needs someone to take care of me, so I have to go back to work! If I want to live there in the yard, the keys will be in the drawer at home."
After saying that, Zhou Yi walked out of the main hall with a dark face, but after seeing Chen Xi, she still couldn't hide her excitement and joy.
"Let's go to the shop and I miss you so much. I made you new clothes and some delicious food." Zhou took Chen Xi's hand, followed by two loli. The four of them started to the medicine shop on Qianjie.
As soon as he entered the backyard, he saw Hui Niang standing at the door of the back hall, looking at the door with joy. Before Chen Xi could step forward, Lu Xier ran over first, wrapping her arms around Hui Niang's waist: "Mom, Brother Chen Xi is back."
"My mother understands, aren't you going to come back to see him?"
Hui Niang has no blood relationship with Chen Xi. Even if she missed Chen Xi in her heart, she could not have too intimate actions with Chen Xi in public like her daughter.
When he arrived at the back hall, Zhou Yi asked questions directly. It was mainly about the details of Chen Xi passing the county examination.
Of course, Chen Xi concealed his sleep in the examination room and added fuel to the fire, saying how difficult the exam was and what troubles he encountered when entering the venue. The exam was more complicated than the exam, and the difficulty of passing the exam gradually increased. It sounded like he had gone through thousands of difficulties before passing the county test.
Finally, Hui Niang was smart and asked directly: "Xiaolang, which game did you have?"
Chen Xi scratched his head. Tell the truth: "The first place."
Zhou slapped Shen Xi on the forehead: "Silly, I'm making up so many lies in my relationship to make me worry, right? You passed the first session. What does the subsequent exam have to do with you?"
She cursed, but she felt even happier. Not only did her son pass the county examination, but she also passed the first session, which was much better than she expected.
Chen Xiyi looked at Hui Niang with an unjust face, as if she was blaming her for being too verbally polite.
Hui Niang smiled and said, "You little guy, you can't change your bad habits. You have to say the exam as hard as Benli's journey to obtain the scriptures. Even my aunt almost believed you."
Just when the yi family was laughing and harmonious, there was a neighborhood woman at the back door. When the woman saw the door open, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Oh, isn't this our little scholar Chen? Has the man just returned? Why did your father still bring a woman? Look at the woman's son is older than you."
This is clearly meant to be angry with Zhou.
Zhou's daily life is known for being stingy among neighbors, but after she became pregnant, her temper became much more restrained. At this time, she went to close the door in person, and explained by the way:
"Aunt He, you are wrong. It's not the woman raised by my husband. It's my sister-in-law who brought her nephew into the city to take the exam. Our Shen family has two children who have passed the county exam this year."
Aunt He originally wanted to say a few words of entertainment, but she didn't hit the smiley person. Seeing that Zhou was so polite, she couldn't help but lower her posture and sighed from the bottom of her heart: "Oh, I didn't expect that your Shen family was so capable. It seems that the Shen family can move from the corner of Ninghua to the city in the future."
Zhou replied with a smile, closed the door before coming back. Chen Xi was a little incredible: "Mom, you seem to have changed. If it were the past, you would have been cursing."
Zhou nodded and pointed: "Silly baby, don't talk nonsense. Mom is a lady. How can you have a verbal dispute with others? Isn't it, sister?"
Hui Niang nodded with a smile.
Chen Xi looked at my mother and Hui Niang and thought to himself that my mother's personality changes, in addition to the reason for her pregnancy, actually owes more to Hui Niang.
Those who are close to the vermilion are red and those who are close to the ink are black. There is a gentle, generous, well-educated and polite woman like Hui Niang as an example, and gradually subtly influenced my personality. The reason why I was so arrogant in the past was mainly related to the fact that I had a real "shy" like Wang and Qian at home.
Although Zhou and Hui Niang were both in the pharmacy shop, the store was now handed over to Xie Yuner and Xiaoyu. Zhou gave Chen Xi the new clothes he had prepared to try on. Chen Xi looked a little tight after putting on them. Zhou asked in surprise: "It was clearly made according to the size, how could it not be worn?"
Hui Niang smiled and said, "Sister, have you forgotten? Xiao Lang grows up every day and doesn't make his clothes bigger, how can he do it?"
"Oh, it's all my fault. I thought he would grow up after more than a month. It's okay, I can wear it after changing my clothes anyway."
Zhou put away his clothes with a little embarrassed.
At this time, Hui Niang went upstairs, took down a brand new piece of clothing, and said, "Sister, when I was free, I sewed Xiaolang a piece and put it on to see if it fits?"
Zhou said in surprise: "Sister sewing clothes? Why don't I know?"
She slept with Hui Niang every day, but she didn't know that Hui Niang had made new clothes for Chen Xi.
