The reed knocked on the vermilion gate, and the doorkeeper saw the mighty procession and ran to the house in a loud voice with excitement: "the master and his wife are back."
Only a few servants went out to welcome them.
All the carriages drove in through the back door, and the large and small boxes were carried into the mansion.
When these ten people all arranged to stay in the servant's room, Xue's house, which was originally desolate, immediately became lively.
After having lunch, they simply washed, changed their clothes, swept away the dust along the way, and went to MEILIFANG Rouge shop in the West Street.
After a year's absence, the signboard at the entrance of rouge shop has been darkened by sunshine and wind and rain.
Precipitation of the traces of the years, more and more taste.
The man in the shop was busy entertaining the guests and didn't notice the family at the door.
Yang Kexin is trying to make up for the girls. Compared with before, her appearance has not changed much. Her face is a little mellow, and her skin is tender enough to pinch water. It can be seen that she is living a happy life.
Her eyes and eyebrows are full of tenderness, and her whole body is full of the breath of a little woman.
According to Zhang Man'er's account, manager Zheng will distribute the monthly dividend to Yang Kexin.
The money in Xu Shi's pocket is more and more abundant. Her clothes are more exquisite than before. She has changed from a grounded little girl to a good family member.
"Ah, the owner is back." After receiving the money from the guests, shopkeeper Zheng looked up at the shop and found the family standing at the door.
Seeing that Zhang Man'er's family came back, his face with a few wrinkles trembled a few times. He couldn't help but feel excited.
Being found, Zhang Man'er smiles and walks in.
"Third sister-in-law." Yang Kexin was surprised and trotted over with small steps: "third brother, third sister-in-law, did you just come back?"
I thought they could come back only after the Spring Festival, which was two months ahead of schedule.
Zhang Man'er and Xue Chuan each hold a small bun in their arms. The two dolls are pink and tender. They lean against the adult's arms. They have a pair of black and round eyes. They look at the stranger in front of them curiously. Their small hands swing and their pink lips move. They are so cute and flexible.
Yang Kexin immediately melted: "this is hong'er and Wan'er. They are really good-looking. Third sister-in-law, may I have a hug? "
Seeing Zhang Man'er nodding, Yang Kexin excitedly took over the child in her arms.
Zhang Man'er said with a smile: "how come it's like I haven't seen a child, your little girl?"
"The child is asleep." Yang Kexin points to the cashier's desk, and Zhang Man'er looks in the direction.
Then I saw a small cradle behind the counter, in which the baby had been sleeping for more than five months.
The baby's hair is thick, the skin is white and tender, the long eyelashes cast black shadow, the small nose, the pink lips, from the delicate features, it must be a beautiful embryo when it grows up.
Also, Xue Yang's handsome, Yang Kexin's gentle and lovely, two life's child, must also be not bad.
Zhang Man'er said with emotion: "when I left, you were just pregnant. Now the children are so big."
"Yes, it has changed a lot in this year? My sister-in-law is blessed with two treasures. Look at these two children. They are so lovely that people will like them. " Yang Kexin said with a soft smile, and then asked, "now, don't you go?"
"No, the root is here, and I will live here for a long time."
Yang Kexin's face was beaming, and the corners of his mouth outlined a smile: "that's great, a few children can grow up together, and the family will be lively in the future."
Zhang Man'er then smiles and glances at her sincerely: "this year, I've worked hard for you. Seeing that you are smart and capable now, I'm also filled with emotion."
"What are you doing, sister-in-law? We're not all family. We should help each other. "
Xue Chuan stood by and looked at the two women's house. He was full of words, as if he wanted to add back the missing words of this year.
In Beijing, I wrote letters to you several times a year, and many things were just taken in one stroke. It would be a long story.
"Where's Xue Yang?" Xue Chuan asked.
Yang Kexin replied, "third brother, is Xue Yang in the village? He's a busy man. He works as a carpenter with a few guys in the village. "
Xue Chuan was clear in his heart and pleased with his face: "yes, Xue Yang is more and more capable. He is the pillar of his family."
This younger brother is smart and capable. He knows everything at once. He is happy to see his achievements.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, you've just come back. You must be very tired from the journey. Go back to the mansion to have a rest. When the shop closes in the evening, let's go home together?" Yang Kexin proposed.
"All right." Zhang Man'er said cheerfully that after a short time, he went back to the mansion to have a rest for two hours.
The afterglow of the setting sun, like a layer of gauze, covers the ancient town. Several shops have been closed. Reed drives the carriage to Meili square to meet Yang Kexin's mother and daughter, and then to Xueji snack shop to meet her aunt.
Xue Yu is busy packing, ready to close the door, this will see a carriage stopped at the door, thought it was a distinguished guest, hands quickly wipe on the apron, with a smile to meet up.
"My guest, do you want to buy food? Then hurry up. We're going to close the door. "
Reed nodded, jumped out of the carriage, put the wooden stool on it, opened the curtain of the carriage, and the beautiful woman in the carriage got out of the carriage safely under the guidance of the servant girl.
Wait to see clearly come person, Xue Yu almost startled to drop chin.
She rubbed her eyes for fear of hallucination.
Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, finally the family back.
"Auntie, we're back. Now we're going back to the village? Let's go back together. " With that, Zhang Man'er motioned to reed to help clean up the shop.
The two men in the shop were responsible for cleaning and setting tables and chairs, while the reed helped to move things. After a while, the shop closed the door.
Xue Yu got on the carriage and saw two sleeping white babies. It was a burst of joy again. He could not restrain his inner excitement by looking here and touching there.
When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, every family was cooking dinner. The whole village was dyed red by the setting sun, and wisps of cooking smoke floated overhead.
The small river beside the wooden bridge at the entrance of the village flows quietly, and the river is shining with tiny light.
Children playing in twos and threes at the entrance of the village, the village women calling their children to go home for dinner, and the villagers carrying hoes to go home, form a leisurely rural style.
As soon as the Xue family's luxurious carriage entered the village, it was particularly eye-catching.
In the village, there are few people who can use the carriage. What's more, the carriage is spacious and gorgeous. It looks like a rich family.
A lot of good old women, who were too busy cooking dinner, ran out to have a look and saw the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Xue family's new house.
