MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 131
Gradually gaining a firm foothold in the city over the years, the frequency of returning to the countryside has become less and less. Before going to the city, I have to go back once every two, three, ten and a half months. Ruijin Ruili grew up in the village when he was a child. , I was thinking about the village when I first arrived in the city, but later it got bigger, the land in the city became familiar, Ruijin was busy with her studies and scientific examinations, and when she went back, it changed from a monthly festival to a festival.
Further back, it seems that the family can be neat and tidy, and even go back only after the Chinese New Year to worship the ancestors. On weekdays, only Zhang Fangyuan ran back to do business more frequently.
This time I went back to live in the old house in the village for a few days. On the first night, the maids and servants began to prepare clothes for the masters to salute. In the early morning of the second day, a car was set up at the gate of the house for riding. The carriage, and two carriages loaded with several large boxes.
Zhang Fangyuan doesn't like making carriages very much. When he wakes up in the morning, the weather is cool, clear and the sun has not yet risen. Riding a horse is the best. He feels that riding alone is boring, so he ordered his servants to bring out two horses and called Shang Ruijin was with him.
Brother Xiao Li also wanted to have fun on a horse, after all, he was a bit filial, thinking that his little father would be bored in a big carriage by himself, so he simply stayed in the car to accompany Xu He.
The journey from Siyang to Jijiu Village was fast, but it took more than an hour to arrive. Brother Li was on the carriage counting down what to eat when he returned to the village.
"Nowadays when the watermelons next to our village are the most abundant, I must go to pick some myself. Fishing in the fish pond is also indispensable. Making soup and making soup is one of my best dishes."
Xu He smiled and said, "A few days is enough for you to toss, as long as you don't feel bored and want to go back to the city in a hurry."
"How come, there are the most places where you can eat and play around our village, so I can't get bored."
"A few days ago, Wang Si, who was in charge of the mountain, came to report that the little thing lost in the mountain had grown strong and plump. Didn't Brother Li make a noise and wanted to go hunting? You can go and have a look when you have free time in two days." Zhang Fangyuan looked back and saw Uncharacteristically, Rui Li didn't stretch his neck to look in front of the carriage window, he dragged the horse to the side of the carriage, and heard the two of them discussing food.
"Okay, okay!" Brother Xiao Li hurriedly agreed, he hadn't gone to play in the mountains for a long time: "Master Zhang, Dad promised to go hunting in the mountains, you can't shirk this time, it's too high or low Give me two pheasants."
Ruijin looked back at Brother Li, then shook his head helplessly: "Okay."
Brother Xiaoli happily shook Xu He's arm, and the family was talking and laughing, but they arrived at the entrance of the village not long after.
It's the autumn harvest season, the sun is not high, and the villagers are racing against time to harvest the crops in the fields, and the fields are very lively.
Although the Zhang family returned to their hometown with a light car and a simple car this time, but the family business has grown in recent years, because they think it is simple and low-key enough, but it is not the time when the couple's pockets added up to only a few dozen taels of silver in the past. Now, I have to hesitate a bit whether to go back to the city on foot or by ox cart.
The villagers working in the fields heard the movement on the road from a long distance away, and they put down their work and stretched their necks to wait and see. The villagers who were closer to the road yelled: "It is the landlord Zhang who has returned to the village!"
As soon as the villagers heard that Zhang Fangyuan was returning to his hometown, they immediately came out of the fields to watch the excitement on the sidewalk. They watched the Zhang family's large and small carts salute, and were amazed by the gorgeous big carriage. Standing side by side with Zhang Ruijin, who was almost as tall as him, everyone was even more excited.
"I heard that Zhang Ruijin has been a Jinshi in high school and has been awarded an official. This is amazing!"
"What did you hear? It's true. A few days ago, those members of the Zhang family went to the city to have a banquet. Oh, it was a lively event. All the dignified people in the city went."
"I just said that Zhang Ruijin is smart when he urinates. You see, he will be elected as a high-ranking official."
"Aunt Wu, I remember when you said that Zhang Ruijin would not cry when he was born, you must be a fool!"
"When have I ever said such a thing!"
The villagers chatted enthusiastically, and their enthusiasm was higher than the sun. When the carriages and horses approached, they did not care about blocking the way of people, and rushed up to say hello, as if they were more afraid that the carriages and horses would be able to move smoothly.
Shocked to see that Zhang Ruijin started shouting one after another, wishing to flatter the Zhang family, as if he said that Zhang Fangyuan was a **** back then, and Xu He had a weird temper and was unwilling to associate with him What happened in the previous life, now I just wish I could show my face in front of this family of four.
Zhang Fangyuan had expected that the villagers would be very enthusiastic, and it was not easy to go back to the village with his family. Ruijin is also a person with an official title, so he has to greet the villagers one by one even under the sun.
"Uncle, uncle! Ruijin Ruili, have you returned to the village?"
Just when Zhang’s family’s carriages were blocking the road and chatting with the villagers, two carriages loaded with goods came behind them, and two people who looked like buddies followed behind and looked at the carriages. The young man at the front Riding a horse, I was unhappy that the carriage and horses in front blocked the road, but when I got closer, I saw that it was an acquaintance, and a smile appeared on my face again.
Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He heard the hearty voice from behind, turned their heads to see that it was Fei Yazheng from the Fei family.
This child is one year younger than Ruijin Ruili, but he doesn't look like a boy of this age at all. When the child was born, his father Fei Lian thought that the eldest son would inherit his mantle, study honestly, and be able to enter an official career in the future. Take a very elegant name.
However, Fei Yazheng was not born to love reading. She had been against his father since she was a child. When she was ten years old, she had a big fight with his father and even sneaked out for half a month. Looking crazy, both Fei's mother and Xu Shaochun's eyes were swollen from crying.
The family searched for several days without any results, so Xu Shaochun asked the Zhang family, and Zhang Fangyuan sent someone to search for it for two days and almost turned Siyang over to find it. In the end, they all found jobs in the city. get up.
After this incident, Fei Lian didn't dare to be too harsh on him. Whenever he wanted to force him to study, Fei's mother and Xu Shaochun would start arguing. After getting rid of his father's control, Fei Yazheng simply stopped studying and simply followed Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaoxuan. The caravans of the Chinese people went out to do business.
This kid is not good at studying, but he is still very good at doing business. After going out for two years and returning to Siyang, he started a small business, and the lower shop has opened two or three in a row. Zhang Fangyuan even joked with Xu He However, the children of the Xu family's two siblings don't like their sons to inherit their father's career, and they like to do it the other way around.
Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He's world is getting wider and wider, and the parents in the village don't care much about the short-term affairs. For Xu Shaochun's family affairs, Liu Xianglan sometimes comes to the city to do things, so she stops by the house to see what Xu He has The news brought by Ruijin Ruicarp.
Fei Lian has had nothing to do with Xu Shaochun since she conceived a son. When they were young, the two couples' petty temperaments and concubines hurt their relationship. Fei Lian really liked to get together with the concubine. He also had a lot of noise when he was young, so Xu Shaochun's life is predictably not good.
Her husband could not be trusted, so Xu Shaochun simply focused on his son. Fortunately, Fei Ya knew right from wrong and was very devoted to his mother. The relationship with Fei Lian had been tense since childhood.
Fei Yazheng grew up and started a business. The life at home was obviously getting better. After talking at home, she should be filial to Xu Shaochun with good food and drink, and specially bought some servants for Xu Shaochun to send.
Knowing that his mother was a village flower when she was young, and she also loved beauty very much. She was not able to marry a good man when she met someone who was not good. She has been buried and suffered all these years. After earning money, the things that women's family loves are constantly given to his mother. Every time I go out to run business and come back, I must bring a carload of clothes and accessories to his mother.
If anyone in the family wanted to wrong his mother, Fei Ya was determined not to show good looks. There was only one child in the Fei family, and he was capable, so he had to obey and listen to everything.
Fei Lian was angry that Fei Yazheng hadn't been able to study and become a success like Ruijin, but spent the money Fei Yazheng earned. Every time he wanted to reprimand Xu Shaochun, Fei Yazheng would scold him back, and he used the money to help the people in the clan. They all turned towards him, and over time, Fei Ya was almost in charge of the family, and it was useless for Fei Ya to be angry.
With the support of his son in everything, Xu Shaochun has become radiant in the past few years.
The people in the village looked at it, and they seemed to have returned to the time when Xu Shaochun was a girl more than ten years ago.
At that time, the face was flushed, the water was fresh, and the dress was delicate and charming. Now people are getting old, but the foundation is still there, and they like to comb and dress up again. The new Jiangnan Times materials that my son brought back specially changed to make clothes. , The hairpin, ring and jewelry are not heavy, but they look like a rich wife.
The brothers and sisters of the Xu family used to be the ones everyone chatted with after dinner, but now more than ten or twenty years later, they are still the ones everyone talks about.
"Yazheng, you're back too? I just heard from your grandma a while ago that you went to Jiangnan for business."
Seeing the person, Xu He greeted him sincerely and cordially. His father did not get along with the Zhang family, but the child respected their family. I heard from Xu Shaochun that the child liked to do business since he was a child. To Zhang Fangyuan, a businessman On the contrary, I admire her very much. Those who are in the city during the festivals these years will send some gifts to the house to express their feelings.
Fei Ya was pulling the horse to the carriage, glanced at Rui Li who was looking at him, nodded slightly, and then replied to Xu He's words: "I just returned to the city last night and brought some materials from Jiangnan. Thinking that my mother would like it, I rushed to send it back."
"Your mother has been missing you for so long, but with your filial piety, it's not in vain that she cares about you."
Fei Yazheng laughed, then turned to Ruijin and said, "I heard the news that Brother Jin has graduated from high school, and I haven't had time to congratulate my cousin."
"Brothers don't want to be separated like this. It's hard to see you. Now we're back in the village and we should see each other more." Zhang Ruijin said: "Brother Li said he was going to hunt in the woods. When the time comes, Cousin Yazheng together."
"That would be great!"
"Don't talk on the road with such a big sun, the tea at home has been hot several times!"
While the hatchback was talking, Zhang Shixin and Zhang Shicheng got the news that the family of four was going back to their hometown. He came out to meet people with his servants.
Zhang Fang has been away from the village for a long time and it is difficult to train the villagers, but Zhang Shixin and Zhang Shicheng have always been in the village. Over the years, as the Zhang family's wealth has grown, the prestige of the men in charge of the Zhang family in the village has also become higher and higher. stand up.
The old village chief passed away three years ago, so Zhang Shixin was elected as the village chief, and he was very able to suppress the villagers.
This morning, when they came to pick up their nephew, the villagers would have no chance to talk to the influential figures in the village for a while, so they all silently backed away.
"Yazheng, go and sit at home."
Fei Yazheng said: "I'm still holding things, I'll come back after I've rectified."
Zhang Fangyuan responded: "Okay, I must come over then, are your cousins getting together?"
"Cousin will be appointed as an official in his place next year, and I will definitely come over."
The two sides said goodbye, and walked together for a short distance before heading home.
It was lively on the side of the road, and it was lively again when we returned to the house. A whole family had already been waiting at the door, big and small, all of them craned their necks to look around, and when they saw Ruijin, they greeted them cordially, asking how the capital was and whether it was hard work on the way to the exam.
Brother Xiao Li jumped off the carriage: "Uncles and uncles are all concerned about elder brother. It's not because they haven't seen me for a while, but they are partial."
"Look at Brother Li, who is good at growing up, but still has such a small mind, he even eats your brother's jealousy!"
Everyone laughed.
Zhang Shixin greeted with a smile again: "Okay, okay, don't stand at the door, hurry up and go into the house."
Only then did the whole family go in one after another.
The house of the Zhang family has been lived by his second aunt and fourth uncle since Zhang Fangyuan entered the city. Later, Zhang Fangyuan became the patriarch and built a ancestral hall. After some discussion, the house was expanded a lot, and Zhang Shixin's family also moved here.
Now Zhaizi is said to live in the closest relatives of the Zhang family. In the novel, there are three families who live there, and the house where Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He lived has been vacant for a long time. It is a combination of four families. Zhaizi and Zhang Fang The ones in the far city are still big, but now that all the people have arrived, the elders, adults, children, and servants are a whole bunch of people, and there are dozens of small people, and it is very lively.
The family talked, ate, and got together for a good time. The enthusiasm for the family reunion slowly dissipated on the second day, and it was finally peaceful.
Brother Xiaoli couldn't stay idle, he took Ruijin and his cousins of the same age to the next village to pick watermelons, went to the fields to fish, and went hunting in the mountains the next day. The children ran out, and the house was quieter .
Now that it's autumn harvest, everyone in the old house is busy, but Zhang Fangyuan, the usually busy man, put aside all the trivial matters, and stayed in the house with Xu He to have a good time.
"It's been more than ten years, and this golden osmanthus has grown really well."
Xu He came out of the house and looked at the idle Zhang Fangyuan lying on the rocking chair under the shade of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree to enjoy the coolness. The chair with long arms and legs could hardly fit.
Hearing the sound, Zhang Fangyuan opened his eyes and stretched out his hand, Xu He also raised his hand to hold his hand and moved closer.
"This year's sweet-scented osmanthus blooms very well."
Zhang Fangyuan looked up at clusters of prosperous golden osmanthus flowers, which were all in bloom. After the autumn wind passed, the fragrance was strong, and the delicate flowers fell on Xu He's shoulders. The years were quiet and beautiful.
He frowned and smiled softly.
"I am like this golden osmanthus."
Xu He was puzzled, and turned his head to look at the person who was lazily leaning on the chair: "Huh?"
Zhang Fangyuan said slowly: "Come closer, I'll tell you a story..."
A new life begins with you, and the rest of life ends with you.
