There was a lot of crying at home, Wei Lanxiang slapped Shen Xuanqing on the arm while crying, and asked him where he had gone these days, why the dead boy didn't know how to come back.

Lu Gu persuaded by the side, but he couldn't help but red eyes.

Even the villagers came to see that Shen Xuanqing was back. Needless to say, the third uncle's family, Zhou Xiangjun wiped away his tears for a while. There were many relatives in the village, and they were all kind-hearted when they came to see them. When the tea was poured, several groups of people were poured.

A few young men from Da Chen and Shen Xuanqing also came. Although they didn't cry, they all said that it would be good to come back. They laughed and scolded him after sighing and letting out a long sigh of relief. Why did they delay outside for a long time.

Even Chen Dongdong followed He Zhi to see it.

Wei Lanxiang smiled again after crying. She was over half a hundred years old and worked all year round. Busy with cooking, she called Ji Qiuyue and Shen Yan to help her and make a good meal.

Even when Zhou Yunzhi and Shen Shunde came over, she smiled and left each other to eat at home. Shen Xuanqing was away during the Chinese New Year, so today's meal will be regarded as a reunion dinner.

The sky is clear and the sun is out.

Everything in his hometown is familiar, the mountains and the river behind the village, the cows mooing, the dogs all around him wagging their tails and cheering, and Da Hui even stood up and put his front paws on him, stepping on the family's The soil made Shen Xuanqing feel at ease again.

Li Laiqing and Ge Chunsheng both work in the big mansion, and they don't come to the spring till after a while. There is not much work in the fields. They go to the wheat fields to pull weeds every day, and nothing else.

Weng and his son-in-law worked at their house, with wages and rice noodles, and their life was much better than before. They did not slack at all in their work. When they saw him back, they were also happy, with a smile on their tanned faces. .

When it was almost noon, the horses' hoofs moved outside. Lu Gu was washing clothes for Shen Xuanqing in his hometown. He brought back the dirty clothes he took off last night.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Luo Biao and Shen Xuanqing, who were leading the horse, coming over. Without thinking, he knew that Luo Biao must have gone to the big mansion first.

"Sister-in-law." Luo Biao shouted when he saw him.

Wei Lanxiang was busy in the kitchen, and when she heard the movement, she came out quickly, and Luo Biao called Mrs. Wei again.

He is fine, and the family is happy.

"It's a coincidence that I came back, we'll have dinner later." Wei Lanxiang said with a smile, and went back to the kitchen.

Luo Biao led the horse to the backyard to feed. There is a stone trough in the backyard, which is convenient for the horse to eat grass.

The jujube red horse was bought in Yuncheng. With Cui Rongwei on the floor, Shen Xuanqing got along well with a few guys in the barracks. Someone helped to talk when buying the horse, so the price was naturally cheap.

But he is no better than Shen Xuanqing, buying a horse is not much use.

Lu Gu poured tea for the two of them. It was not windy today. Shen Xuanqing moved the table and chairs to the courtyard, and it was also pleasant to eat tea in the sun.

Luo Biao put the burden off the horse's back on the table. After sitting down, he chatted a few times, then sighed and said, "Boss Qiu and the two have gone home, and I will bring them along with me. The money that came back was also distributed to the brothers' families."

Lu Gu was washing clothes next to him, and he looked at Shen Xuanqing subconsciously. He probably guessed that the brothers he was talking about were the people from the horse team.

"Mine have been put away, these are yours." Luo Biao said, taking out a heavy little bag from the bag.

Shen Xuanqing took a look, and then said to Lu Gu, who was not sure why, "This is the money given by Master Cui. The killing of the horse team was caused by him. Too many brothers died, and he felt sorry for it. When we left Yuncheng , together with the dead brother, one person gave one hundred taels, too much money, it is difficult to take it on the road, what I took was a silver note, and Biaozi and Boss Qiu just went to the bank in Fucheng to exchange it today."

It turned out to be so.

"One hundred taels."

Lu Gu murmured a sentence, he is not greedy for this one hundred taels, he has seen six or seven hundred taels, and he will not be fooled. He just suddenly felt that if Shen Xuanqing's life was not big, I am afraid Just like everyone else, it's life in exchange for it.

Shen Xuanqing added: "When I left, I heard Master Cui say that after the traitor was dealt with, the house was seized. Even if the money came from the traitor, give the horse team an explanation."

The traitorous party is a big man in the capital, not to mention more than two thousand taels, just copying out the cash, it is not a problem to pay a few two thousand taels.

It's just that these are not easy to talk about. Even if you stay away from those disputes, it is better to be cautious.

Luo Biao took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl and sighed, and said, "I told Mr. Qiu, Mr. Qiu, that I will not follow them to trade horses in the future. The road is long, and I am not very lucky. It’s better to stay in the town with peace of mind, start a small business, and earn a little money and slowly save up.”

"Then what do you want to do?" Shen Xuanqing asked.

"I don't know yet, but with these hundred taels, how can I buy a house to live in, and settle down first." Luo Biao smiled again.

He was indeed unlucky, but this time he was blessed by misfortune. Not only did he survive, but he even had the capital to buy a house and do a small business. His heart was full of mixed feelings, more bitter than happy.

For the common people, one hundred taels is really a lot of money.

After sighing, he added: "I can't delay buying land. I can buy a few acres of fertile land. Maybe I will farm outside the town in the future. I can only grow some grain every year, which is enough for me to live on my own."

Shen Xuanqing nodded and said, "It's so good. If you farm for a few years, if you work hard, you will be able to save money and grain. If you catch firewood and fish in your spare time, you can earn a few more coins."

"That's what I thought. If you have a house and a field, you can live on no matter what." Luo Biao replied with a smile.

Lingjun and Zhaoer were playing in the courtyard. The two children were always noisy when they got together. Zhou Xiangjun came to help after a while, and Shen Yaoqing also went to call relatives and friends in the village.

The table in the front yard was going to be moved to eat. After Lu Gu washed his clothes, he brought them to the back yard to dry, and the meal was ready.

There were wine and meat, and many people came. Wei Lanxiang prepared a lot of meals, and even borrowed the table and chairs from the neighbor.

After staying at home for three days, the days gradually returned to their former tranquility.

The butcher's shop was closed for several days, and it was time to go back and open. The Yang family's mule cart had to be returned. Early this morning, the family loaded the rabbits, chickens and ducks onto the cart.

Shen Xuanqing drove Lu Gu and the children to the town in the car, and let Luo Biao drive the rabbit's mule cart. He would drive the mule back in the afternoon and help the Zaohong horse ride back to the town.

Shen Yaoqing has been busy at home and in town these past few months. Shen Xuanqing thought about the hard work of his eldest brother and let him rest at home for a few days.

As soon as he came back, Shen Yan didn't have to follow him, and it was better to spend more time with his mother before getting married.

The hometown is big, and Ling Geer was a little crazy playing, and he was very reluctant to leave. He sat in Lu Gu's arms and said that he would come back.

Lu Gu hugged his little Shuang'er with frowning eyes, and promised, "Go back, the day after tomorrow will be warmer. If you want to go back, let Dad drive us back and stay with Brother Nian for a few days."

"Yeah." Brother Ling nodded his head, still holding the small flower roll that Wei Lanxiang stuffed in his hand, smiled and said softly, "Amu, I can eat it in one bite."

Lu Gu didn't answer. He smiled and said, "Really? Let's see if our brother Ling is a tiger's mouth."

Brother Ling was so proud, he shoved the little flower roll into his mouth at once, his cheeks were bulging, and he clapped his little hand, indicating that his hand was gone, and it was all in his mouth.

The car was shaking, the sun was shining today, Lu Gu opened the curtain inside, and the wind was not cold for a while, and he was able to talk to Shen Xuanqing.

Before leaving the village, he saw Chen Dongdong and his mother-in-law coming out of the house with a bamboo basket.

"Guzi, go to town?" Chen Dongdong smiled shyly, wearing new clothes without patches.

"Yes, go to town, you and your aunt go out?" Lu Gu greeted him with a smile.

Chen Dongdong replied, "Go and buy a few pieces of tofu."

Seeing that the mule cart slowed down, he knew that the Shen family was going to pull rabbits into the town. He was afraid of delaying other people's affairs, so he quickly said, "Go quickly, the road is long, and I'll find you when I come back."

"Okay." Lu Gu agreed, Shen Xuanqing nodded slightly to Chen Dongdong, and then drove the mule forward.

The people on the side of the road gradually retreated. Out of the corner of the eye, Chen Dongdong was talking to her mother-in-law, and the smile on her face never faded.

The last time he came back, he learned from Wei Lanxiang that Chen Dongdong was pregnant, and He Zhi was very happy. He pulled cloth to make clothes. Saying Amitabha, now I don't chew my tongue behind my back.

As for mowing the lawn after a while, He Zhi also told Shen Yaoqing, saying that his parents have eaten better in the past two years, and their body has recovered a little. I don't have anything else to do at home. It's not a problem to get two carts of grass a day, but it's a little slower to mow.

And he picked up firewood and carried large bags by himself, and then did some short-term labor. Sometimes the work was heavy, but the money was more.

Shen Yaoqing thought that they could get two carts of grass a day, the same as before, not to mention that they also hired Ge Chunsheng as a long-term worker, and that was all the work in the house. Others, still let the He family do it.

"This time in the past, I invited Gu's family to eat a good meal. The things about the invitations have not been finished yet. Let's see what the eldest brother and mother do. Although we are close to Gu's family in the town, we still have to deal with them. Brother decides."

Shen Xuanqing sat in the front and said that Shen Yan had a big thing to do at home. He hadn't been home for half a year, so he must be thinking about it.

Since Shen Yaoqing was the eldest son, their father was gone, and even Wei Lanxiang had to listen to the eldest son, so the Gu family must be talking to Shen Yaoqing.

"I didn't say before that I wanted to delay and set the date of marriage to next year." Lu Gu said casually, remembering how Shen Yan and Gu Chengyue were getting along in the town, and said with a smile, "When you're not here, Yanyan and Gu Chengyue will get along with each other. I live here, and Gu Chengyue is always running here, it's very rare to send it here and there."

Shen Xuanqing smiled and said, "Our daughter is not a rare person. If he is not rare, my eldest brother and I would not want to marry Yanyan."

The two chatted while they were on their way. After they got on the official road, the oncoming wind was rushing. Lu Gu put down the sedan curtain. Brother Ling was used to riding the mule cart and was playing and laughing with the good boy.

The wheels were rolling forward, and he heard the sound of Shen Xuanqing flicking the whip outside. Even if he didn't speak, he knew that the person was outside, just in front of the curtain, and his heart was at peace.

Everything is getting better, not just them.
