Chapter VIII Find a tile to cover up

Wu Xinan thought of this and replied,

"Then my father told me, what is my stepmother like, that is, my mother's sister, but she looks similar to her mother, what is her younger brother and sister in the family called her, and what is her temperament?"

Finally, we can first understand the situation at home before we can decide what to do next!

When Wu Hongwen saw that his daughter was willing to gossip with him, he couldn't help but feel happy and immediately talked to her one by one.

"You are the eldest brother of the family, with the eldest brother Huaide, the younger brother Xianrong, the second sister Yuanzhen, the third sister Lianzhen, and the youngest sister Youzhen..."

After saying that, my children talked about their second wife.

"...She is your mother's fifth sister. She has a different temperament than your mother and looks different from her..."

The Cheng sisters are not very similar, they are not at all. Wu Xin'an's mother is the eldest daughter, with a beautiful father, and she is born with a round and elegant temperament. She dares to love and hate. If not, she would not have had a quarrel with her family for a lover.

When Da Cheng gave birth to his daughter, he died, but Wu Hongwen was on the list and came to work in Hangzhou. Seeing that Wu Hongwen had a future, the eldest daughter was not lucky enough to enjoy it. She really couldn't bear to give up the rich son-in-law who had a huge increase in value, so she came to the door with shameless face, saying that she wanted to renew the marriage between the two families and marry her fifth daughter to Wu Hongwen.

The Cheng family also knew in their hearts that it was snobbish and stubborn, but they did not start with Wu Hongwen. Instead, they sent someone to their hometown in Jiangxi to find Wu Hongwen's mother. Because the Wu family and the Cheng family were distant relatives, the two elders of the Cheng family offered generous gifts and asked someone to lobby. The Wu family's mother could not bear the instigation, so she responded to the marriage on her back.

Later, when Wu Hongwen sent someone to take my mother to Hangzhou Prefecture, the Wu family's wife, who had not passed by Wu Hongwen, became the fifth lady of the Cheng family. In this way, Wu Hongwen was half strong and half-suppressed, and half-repulsed, and half-repulsed. It took nine years in a blink of an eye. Although Wu Hongwen and Xiao Cheng were not in love, the couple were also respectful to each other and had a harmonious family.

Wu Hongwen naturally didn't want to talk to his daughter in detail about the past years. He only mentioned Xiao Cheng's gentle personality. Although his younger brothers and sisters in the family were naughty, they were also pure-minded. They just kept coaxing their daughter to make her feel at ease and let her go with her home with peace of mind!

Wu Xinan had his own plans while listening. The father and daughter were talking, and seeing that the meal was being cooked again, Guan's mother and Wu Cheng brought the meal, and the father and daughter sat opposite each other for dinner.

Guan’s mother’s craftsmanship has always been good. Today, she has the delicious fish soup, braised lion heads, and braised spring bamboo shoots. She grabbed the chicken in the yard and stir-fried it with chestnuts from the mountains. She added a few wild vegetables. Wu Hongwen nodded repeatedly.

"I have been thinking about my mother's skills for a long time, and I can finally enjoy the food today!"

Seeing Wu Xinan ate two bowls of rice with the braised lion head, and the little mouth was so oily that he took a handkerchief to wipe his daughter's mouth. Wu Xinan handed the bowl in his hand to the side.

"Mom, I want another bowl!"

Guan's mother hurriedly served Wu Xin'an another bowl. Wu Hongwen couldn't help but ask worriedly when she saw that her daughter's appetite was bigger than her.

"An An uses so much, aren't you afraid of accumulating food at night?"

Wu Xinan smiled at him,

"If you accumulate food but go around in the yard twice more, but if you are hungry in the middle of the night, you will be scratching your heart and having no place to relieve it. Father... This matter of belly is a first-class matter, and the rest can be put aside!"

Wu Hongwen smiled when he heard this.

"An An's words are reasonable. Eating well, sleeping well, and being healthy are the top priority!"

Looking at her daughter's round little face, it seemed as if the sick cat with a yellow face in her arms was right in front of her. In a blink of an eye, she had grown into a rosy and strong little girl with a strong face!

Guan’s mother, who was standing by, was having fun seeing the father and daughter getting along, and couldn’t help but feel a little sore in her nose. She almost burst into tears. She quickly turned her face and wiped it away secretly, and said in her heart,

"It's always the father and daughter who are in love. When I saw the young lady in front of me, she seemed to have complaints about her son-in-law, and she often looked gloomy behind her back. I was just worried. Now that I've met and said it out, it's OK!"

The old servant Wu Cheng, who was standing beside him, also squinted his eyes and smiled, and said in his heart,

"The young master has been thinking about the eldest lady in his heart for so many years, but he feels guilty. Now he can finally reunite his father and daughter, which is a matter of conscience!"

Cheng Gui, who was beside him, lowered his head and said nothing, his eyes rolled.

Everyone had their own thoughts on this meal. After dinner, Guan's mother was organizing to pack up her things. Because Guan's mother had already calculated the days and picked up a lot of things in the yard. Now she was really leaving, but she just made the clothes in the cabinet into a bag and set off tomorrow.

All the chickens raised at home were given to the Maotou family next door. When Maotou heard that the girl was leaving, he lost his face and held Wu Xin'an's hand and cried.

"Big girl, you're leaving, who will we go to catch fish in the future?"

Wu Xinan looked at the hairy head and his nose and tears, and his heart was so sad that he said with red eyes,

"I just go into the city and come back to live when I get empty. You can take a look at the yard for me. You can't let Ermeng and others harm the grapes in my yard!"

"Um!"

He nodded heavily,

"Don't worry! I will definitely guard you!"

After crying here, he remembered something again. He pulled Wu Xinan's hand and asked with a look of hope.

"Ah Huang, are you leaving it to me too?"

Wu Xinan rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"I think beautifully, I must take it away by Ah Huang!"

Maotou said in disappointment. Thinking that Big Girl was leaving, even Ah Huang was going to follow him. He couldn't help but feel sad again and burst into tears. His crying made Wu Xinan unable to hold back any longer, and shed tears for a while.

When Wu Xinan was Wang Daniu, she was ugly in her life, and she was at home every day, and she never had a playmate. Now she finally made a few really good friends in this mountain village, but she was about to separate in just a few months. When she thought of herself going to live a fierce battle with her stepmother, she couldn't help but feel sad and cried so hard.

She was with Maotou, saying goodbye to her friends next to each other in the village. She didn't come back until midnight, her eyes were swollen like peaches. Wu Hongwen sighed when she saw it.

"Our family An An is really a person of temperament!"

Wu Xinan asked him,

"Dad, can I come back?"

Wu Hongwen knew her reluctance and nodded immediately,

"Our family has bought this yard long ago. When you go back, my father will let you pass it to your name. When you get free, you will come back and stay for a few days, and you can still get together with your friends!"

Friendship in the innocent era is the most rare. Children grow up in a blink of an eye. When their good hearts have not been polluted by the turbidity of the world, they can only live up to their fate to get to know each other when they are together.

Wu Xinan was overjoyed when he heard this, and went over and took his hand and asked,

"Really, Father... will this yard be mine in the future?"

Wu Xinan really didn't expect that a yard was so easy to come. Although it was just a small courtyard in a mountain village and was not worth much money, there was always a place to settle down. If the family was too busy in the future, they could still come back to the mountain village, farm, raise flowers, hunt and catch fish, and they would not starve themselves to death!

Wu Hongwen said with a smile,

"Although my father doesn't have much salary, it's not difficult to send it to you in a small courtyard!"

Wu Xinan saw that he deserved no lie, so he was naturally happy in his heart, and held his hand and smiled,

"Father, you are so nice!"

It’s better than Wang Butcher Wang’s father. She has been working as a cow and horse for her family for so many years, but she hasn’t even caught Zhang’s corpse-woven straw mat before her death!

With Wu Hongwen saying this, Wu Xinan finally felt less grudges towards him, and his smile became much more sincere. By the second day, when they left the mountain village, the father and daughter were completely separated, and they were very harmonious with talking and laughing!

In this way, Wu Xinan bid farewell to the small mountain village at the foot of Linping Mountain, sat on the black painted flat-topped carriage of the Wu family, and staggered all the way toward the Hangzhou Prefecture.

Hangzhou Prefecture is the capital of Wu and Yue and the former Song Dynasty. It has been established in this place since the establishment of a county during the Qin Dynasty. Until now, the Daqing Dynasty is even more prosperous, and it is worthy of its reputation as a paradise on earth.

Wu Xin lived for two lifetimes, and was the little girl who had never seen the world. When she arrived at the bustling place of flowers and green willows, she felt that her big eyes were not enough. She looked at the shops on both sides of the street, pedestrians passing by on the road, and food she was shouting in the street vendors on the side of the road, and food she was holding in her hands and walking...

Wu Hongwen looked at his daughter with a smile and looked surprised and curious, but he felt a sense of sorrow in his heart.

"If Yu'er had not died back then and there was no such incident at home, my peace would have grown up in this prosperous place, noisy place, worldly fireworks, and secular worldly conditions. So now I am ten years old, but my vision is only in that small mountain village!"

The carriage walked through the street market. After about an hour, he slowly stopped in front of a mansion. Wu Hongwen got off the carriage first, turned around and reached out to hug his daughter. However, Wu Xinan brushed away his hand.

"No need to hug my father!"

As soon as she lifted her skirt, she jumped off the carriage. She was used to running in the village. She was very agile and fell steadily on the ground without any shaking. Wu Hongwen just smiled when she saw it, pointed to the door in front of her and said to Wu Xin'an.

"An An, look...this is our family!"

Wu Hongwen was only a seventh-rank official. According to the rules of the Daqing Dynasty in the early years, he wanted to live in the government office. On the one hand, it was convenient for office work and on the other hand, it was considered as a benefit for officials. The poor officials in the family could save a lot of money for renting a house.
