Chapter 216 Homecoming
The wind is still calm and the snow is still falling, and the crows cry in the evening.
At this moment, the sun had set in the west, and Zhu's father drove the last ox cart back home, eating the fragrant supper made by Chen.
Not long after, a young man appeared on the road from Kaoshan Town to Xiahe Village. The young man carried a big luggage and walked happily on the road without caring about the falling snow.
"Listen to your mother, don't let her be hurt. If you want to grow up quickly, you can protect her. The beautiful white hair always sprouts, and the angel's magic is kind and warm."
Zhu Ping'an walked quickly and could not wait to see his mother, Chen, in surprise when she saw him.
Crack, Crack
The creaking sounds made by stepping on the snow kept ringing all the way.
"Is Mr. Zhu in front of me?"
Just as Zhu Ping'an was singing while singing, a question came from behind from afar. Zhu Ping'an turned around and saw a carriage coming from behind, and soon stopped steadily not far away from him.
The driver who drove the car was a bit familiar with him. He was a man who looked like an uncle and seemed to have seen him at the rich man Li's house.
"It's really Mr. Zhu, it's a coincidence. I was purchased by the Li family's back kitchen. Mr. Zhu met his son when he was borrowing books. In the afternoon, he was ordered by the lady to go to the town to purchase. He was delayed. Unexpectedly, he met Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu just returned. I was so lucky that I was the first to meet Mr. Zhu. Congratulations to Mr. Zhu for being a high school juren, but he won glory for our town." The uncle was still a chattering chat. He said a lot, and finally enthusiastically wanted to take Zhu Ping'an for a journey.
If you can ride a car, you don’t have to shower snow. Zhu Ping'an naturally bowed to express his gratitude and then got on the carriage.
There were many vegetables and meat purchased by uncles in the carriage, but the carriage was enough for Zhu Ping'an to sit down, and he could just put it down.
"I'm not in a hurry, I can only use it tomorrow. I don't have time. Besides, I'll help people to the end and send Buddha to the West. Besides, Mr. Zhu is a juren, so I'm a big shot."
When we arrived at Shanghe Village, the coachman insisted on sending Zhu Ping'an to Xiahe Village, very enthusiastic.
Zhu Ping'an's house is brightly lit at this moment, and two new red lanterns are hung at the door. In the snow, these two red lanterns look particularly warm. They should have been hung recently. They have not hung red lanterns when they left home.
"Mom, just lanterns are hung. We light two candles every day."
Zhu Pingchuan thought about lighting two candles every day, and couldn't help feeling a little sad. It would be fine if he lighted candles for lanterns during festivals, but this was not a festival.
My mother, Chen, was dissatisfied with this, "What do you know? If Yuer comes back tonight, she can see our door, so she can avoid going to the wrong door."
"How come Brother Zi came back in the middle of the night? Didn't they all go back while the morning is coming; Besides, Brother Zi is not a child, so why did he go to the wrong door?"
Zhu Pingchuan retorted in a low voice, but was stared hard by Chen. Then he turned off the engine and dared not speak.
"Is there any movement outside?" As he ate, Chen suddenly put down his chopsticks and raised his ear and asked.
"Mom, I heard it wrong again. I went out to see it just now." Zhu Pingchuan whispered.
Before his mother, Chen, had a quiet meal, Zhu's father suddenly put down his chopsticks. He looked out and said, "It's because there's something going on, it seems that a carriage heard us at the doorstep."
Zhu's father has been driving the car. He is more sensitive to the sound of the car, and he can be heard at once.
When Chen heard this, he put down his chopsticks and stood up and walked out. These days, Chen always felt that Zhu Ping'an was coming back. Now that he heard Zhu's father say that a carriage was parked at the door, Chen immediately couldn't wait to go out and see if Zhu Ping'an was back. He would rather run the wrong way a few more times than let it go once.
Outside the door, Zhu Ping'an took off his luggage from the carriage and bowed his hand to express his gratitude to the coachman of the Li family. He was able to come to the door when night just came, thanks to the coachman's enthusiasm to ride.
Just as Zhu Ping'an expressed his gratitude, the gate of the Zhu family was opened, and his mother, Chen, walked out of the door, and just recognized Zhu Ping'an standing at the door with her butt sticking out and bowing to thank him.
"Zhu'er"
Mother Chen covered her mouth in surprise, and the surprise voice still made.
"Haha, mom, I'm back." Zhu Ping'an heard Chen's surprise voice at once. After bowing to thank him, he turned around and scratched his head with a silly smile on his face.
I originally wanted to give my mother a sudden surprise, but I didn't expect that my mother would go out so soon. However, seeing her mother Chen's surprise appearance, Zhu Ping'an felt that she was worth it overnight.
"Why are you stupid kids doing your night trip? How unsafe? How great it will be tomorrow when tomorrow." After Chen was surprised, he pretended to be angry and criticized Zhu Ping'an for not rushing all night.
Zhu Ping'an smiled foolishly, making Chen irritated on Zhu Ping'an's forehead in anger.
"Who is this?"
Chen realized it later and found the coachman standing beside him, and asked in confusion.
"Mrs. I am the chef of the Li family in Shanghe Village. This afternoon, I was ordered by our lady to go to the town to purchase. I was delayed in the town. I happened to meet Mr. Zhu when I came back. Mr. Zhu made a famous name for our town and was the youngest juren in our county. I have benefited from having the opportunity to take the juren for a ride." The coachman talked a lot, and although he was confused, his general meaning was clearly expressed.
The Li family in Shanghe Village suddenly attracted Chen's attention. Then he heard the coachman say that he would go to purchase in the afternoon under the order of Miss Li's family. By chance, he brought Zhu Ping'an who was rushing home on the road.
So, Chen suddenly thought of Li Shu again, thinking that this was fate. Zhu Ping'an, who might have been going to the middle of the night, came back after the genius black. This has a lot to do with Li Shu. Unintentional actions saved Zhu Ping'an from trekking in the wind and snow. It really is a blessing for his husband.
"Go home, drink the hot soup to warm your body." Chen invited the coachman to the house with a warm look.
"That's right, Brother Wang, don't be polite." Zhu Ping'an also invited the coachman.
"No, Mrs. Zhu, I have to go back to take the job." The coachman shook his head and declined the kindness of Chen and Zhu Ping'an, and insisted on rushing the car back to the Li family.
"The family has prepared the meal, and it's not too late to leave after drinking the soup. Thank you for your arrival, otherwise you will suffer on the road." Chen invited again.
"No, my lady has set rules for the family. I have to go back now. Being able to carry Mr. Zhu is also a blessing for our family to cultivate. Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu, I am going back now."
The coachman still shook his head, got on the carriage, and said goodbye.
Looking at the leaving carriage, Chen was even more satisfied with the lady Li Shu who left home. The coachman said that Li Shu had already started to take charge of the family. She was beautiful, filial and capable of managing the family. She was simply a daughter-in-law who fell from the sky.
A certain idea has become a towering tree in Chen's mind.
At this time, Zhu's father and Zhu Pingchuan also walked out of their homes. Seeing that Chen had not returned and listening to the sound of talking outside, they hurriedly walked out to find out.
Then I saw Zhu Ping'an.
"I'm back." Zhu's father's voice was very calm, but he quickly moved and reached out to take the bag that Zhu Ping'an was carrying, which made Chen very satisfied.
"Brother Tsubasa, you're back." Zhu Pingchuan was much more happy about his business.
At this time, Chen gave Zhu Pingchuan a light glance, "Hmph, who said just now that the pig could not come back at night, and he still thought I had to pay for wax?"
"Mom." Zhu Pingchuan stretched out his voice.
