Chapter 391

Song Xintong pursed his lips, muttered, and finally called: "uncle."

The voice was very light, dry and formal, but Howie was so happy that he responded excitedly, "ah, ah."

The first call, the back is much easier, song Xintong holding warm, in her ear Teaching: "call uncle."

Wennuan looks at Howie with her little head, bites her finger, and then calls uncle.

"Aye Aye." "Two years old?" he said

"Soon, I will be two years old in December." Song Xintong gave Nuan to Lu Yunkai. "It's late. Does my uncle have a residence in Lingnan? If not, stay with us. "

She had just heard from Howie that he had just come back from Texas and arrived as soon as he got off the boat. It seemed that he had not gone to find an inn to stay.

"Good, good." He also wanted to talk to his nieces. Besides, he had not met two nephews, so he was reluctant to leave.

Song Xintong ordered Daya to clean up the guest room, while she went to the kitchen to add more dishes.

Lu Yunkai also followed, "before Jiang Mingzhao told me that someone was investigating you, I didn't expect it was uncle."

Song Xintong Leng for a moment, "what did you do?"

"Let him bewilder his sight, by the way to check him." Lu Yunkai felt as if he had done something stupid. If he hadn't explained it like this, He Wei would have found it earlier.

Song Xintong chuckled, knowing that he was also for her good, but also not angry, "what did you find?"

"What I found is similar to what my uncle said. Their family is really engaged in mulberry business. Now it's a good silk merchant in Jingzhou, but it's not very good. The reason for going out this time is that there's something wrong with the guests in Dezhou, so they need to check in person." Lu Yunkai explained: "he has three sons in his family, four grandchildren and two grandchildren below. There is a sister who has been abducted from his family. She has been missing for seventeen or eighteen years. They have been trying to find her, but they haven't found her home."

"I didn't think about it when I knew it. If I knew it, I wouldn't stop it." Lu Yunkai said.

"You don't know." Song Xintong said: "to see my uncle means to go to Taohua village to worship my mother, and then let's go to Jingzhou again."

"Then go. That's right." Lu Yun said.

Song Xintong frowned: "but you are about to go to the capital to prepare for the next year's examination. If you delay any longer, you will lose more than a month's reading time."

"No matter. It took us more than ten days to go to the capital. We took a boat to Jingzhou, and then delayed for two days to drive the carriage to the capital on the official road. By the way, we arrived in the capital in late October." Lu Yunkai said.

"And back to Taohua village?" Song Xintong said.

"Let's go and return early, and try our best to catch up." Lu Yun said.

"I'm thinking about that." Song Xintong originally planned to leave for the capital in the next two days. If they wanted to take a boat, they would go around to the south of the Yangtze River and then go to the capital. They planned to take a carriage and take the pipeline directly. On the contrary, the journey was more convenient. They could better see the local conditions and customs along the way, which was conducive to the analysis of current affairs and policies.

"Sister, sister." The voice of the twins came in and song Xintong went out.

Looking at the strange middle-aged man and song Xintong, the twins asked in a low voice, "sister, who is this gentleman?"

He Wei looks at the twins who are very similar. They don't look much like Xiuer. He thinks they look like their father, but he is excited to agree because they are Xiuer's children.

"This is my uncle." Song Xintong said, "it's Niang's brother."

"Mother's brother?" The twins gaped at Howie. They had never seen their mother's family before. How could they have an uncle all of a sudden? Suspiciously looking at Song Xintong, elder sister, did you meet a liar?

"It's true." Song Xintong said with a smile, will mother's life experience said again.

The twins looked at Howie in dismay. They didn't expect that this man was really their uncle. They scratched their head in embarrassment. "Uncle."

"Good, good..." Howie couldn't close his mouth.

"Well, now that you're back, let's have dinner." Song Xintong greets everyone to take a seat. After dinner, song Xintong discusses the itinerary with He Wei.

He Wei said, "I hope you will go to Jingzhou with me to see your grandmother. If my nephew Lu rushes to the capital, it will be the same next year."

Lu Yunkai said: "my mother and grandmother have not seen each other for more than ten years. I want to accompany my mother to Jingzhou for a walk, and it's not too late to go there after meeting the elders."

He Wei was very satisfied: "well, we'll take a boat to Jingzhou wharf, and then take a carriage for another day. It'll be here soon."

"Good." Song Xintong nodded, "then I'll make arrangements. I'll take Jiang's freighter to Taohua village in the evening."

Today is the 15th day. It's the day to transport goods to the village. But the Jiang family didn't go there today. They should sail in the evening.

"Well, let's go early and set out early, and we won't delay Lu's trip," he said

All the salutes are packed up. I'm ready to go out these two days, so I don't need to tidy them up. It's just that the twins and Daya need to tidy them up.

Lu Yunkai hurried to the government office to seek the adult of the government, and helped to open the road of twins and big ya. It was not necessary to publish south of the Five Ridges's registered residence pages. If the boundary of South of the Five Ridges went to other states, the government needed to set up the Road and registered residence.

The magistrate is busy in the Yamen. He is seldom surprised to see Lu Yunkai coming in a hurry. After some inquiry, he finds that there is such a good thing. He immediately congratulates him.

After a few words of advice about the next year's examination, Lu Yunkai left.

Song Xintong took time to give orders to his sister-in-law, so that she didn't have to come over in the next days, and she would come back when Dabao and his wife came back.

"Yes, ma'am." Mrs. Zhou, holding a pile of sheets, quilt covers and changed clothes, sat down in the laundry room and washed them. "Madam, I'll go back after I've finished washing. I won't have to clean them tomorrow."

"But you didn't forget to put it away. It's rainy now."

"Don't worry, madam."

He moved the salute and a box of books from Lu Yunkai to the freighter and rushed back to Taohua village overnight. Because the ship was empty and was specially assigned to transport sweet potato flour and mountain goods, the freighter soon arrived at the dock at dawn the next day.

When they returned to the village, they were shocked by mother Lu and her son-in-law. Didn't they agree to go to the capital? Why are you back in the village? Is there something wrong with not going?

When she learned that song Xintong's mother and uncle had come and wanted to pay homage to he Xiu, she was relieved. At the same time, she was happy for Xintong and finally found her family.

Aunt Xie looked up and down at Hewei, patted her thigh and said, "you're Xiuer's brother. I think you look like that. You look like that."
