Chapter 217 Returning Home

The wind is still and the snow is still falling, the sun is setting and the crows are crowing.

At this moment, the sun was already setting in the west, and Zhu’s father also drove the last ox cart back home and ate the delicious dinner cooked by Chen.

Soon after, a young man appeared on the road from Kaoshan Town to Xiahe Village. The young man was carrying a big bag and walked happily on the road, singing and walking, regardless of the falling snow.

“Listen to your mother and don’t let her get hurt. Only if you want to grow up quickly can you protect her. Beautiful white hair always sprouts happiness, and the magic of angels is warm and kind.”

Zhu Ping'an walked very quickly and couldn't wait to see his mother Chen's surprised expression when she saw him.

Creak, creak.

The creaking sound of stepping on the snow kept ringing all the way.

"Is this Mr. Zhu in front of you?"

While Zhu Pingan was singing and walking through the snow, a question came from far behind. Zhu Pingan turned around and saw a carriage. It drove over from behind and soon stopped steadily not far from him.

The driver who was driving the carriage was somewhat familiar. He was an uncle-looking man. He seemed to have seen him at Rich Man Li's house.

"It's really Mr. Zhu, what a coincidence. I bought it from the kitchen of the Li family. Mr. Zhu met him when he borrowed books. In the afternoon, I was ordered by the lady to go to the town to buy it. It was delayed, but I didn't Thinking of actually meeting Mr. Zhu, Mr. Zhu I just came back, I'm really lucky to be the first to see Mr. Zhu. Congratulations to Mr. Zhu for being a high school student. He has brought honor to our town." This uncle was still a talker, and he said a lot of things, and he was very happy at the end. Enthusiastically wanted to give Zhu Pingan a ride.

Being able to ride in the carriage without getting wet in the snow, Zhu Ping'an naturally expressed his gratitude with his hands and then got on the carriage.

There were a lot of vegetables and meat bought by the uncle on the carriage, but the interior of the carriage was big enough for Zhu Ping'an to sit down, and he could also put it down just in time to bow.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll need it tomorrow, so it won't take any effort. Besides, I'll help people to the end and send the Buddha to the West. Besides, Mr. Zhu is the master of Juren, so I'll be honored."< br>


When they arrived at Shanghe Village, the driver's uncle insisted on sending Zhu Ping'an to Xiahe Village, very enthusiastically.

Zhu Ping'an's house is brightly lit at the moment, and two new red lanterns have been hung at the door. In the falling snow, these two red lanterns look particularly warm. They must have been hung up recently. They had not been hung up when he left home. It's a red lantern.

"Mom, just hang the lantern. Let's light two candles every day."

At the dinner table, Zhu Pingchuan couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he thought about lighting two candles every day. It’s okay to light candles in lanterns during festivals. This is not a festival.

Mother Chen was not happy when she heard this, "What do you know? If Xie comes back at night, he will be able to see our door and avoid going to the wrong door."

"Why did Brother He come back so late at night? He didn't always come back in the morning; besides, Brother He is not a child, so why did he go to the wrong door?"

Zhu Pingchuan retorted in a low voice, but was forced to do so by Mrs. Chen. He glared at it, then turned off the engine and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Is there any movement outside?" While eating, Mrs. Chen suddenly put down her chopsticks and raised her ears and asked.

"Mom, you heard me wrong again, I just went out for a visit." Zhu Pingchuan whispered.

Before his mother Chen could speak, Father Zhu, who was eating quietly, suddenly put down his chopsticks, raised his head and looked outside, and then said, "There is some movement. It seems that a carriage has heard the door of our house."< br>


Zhu's father has been driving a car and is sensitive to the sound of the car. He can hear the oxcart and carriage at once.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen put down her chopsticks and stood up and walked out. These days, Mrs. Chen always felt that Zhu Ping'an was coming back. Now when she heard Father Zhu say that a carriage was parked at the door, Mrs. Chen immediately couldn't wait. I want to go out to see if Zhu Ping'an is back. I would rather make mistakes a few more times than let go of the possibility.

Outside the door, Zhu Ping'an took off his luggage from the carriage and expressed his gratitude to the driver of the Li family. I was able to arrive at the door of my house just as night fell, thanks to the coachman's enthusiasm.

While Zhu Pingan was expressing his gratitude, the door of the Zhu family opened, and his mother, Mrs. Chen, walked out of the door. She recognized Zhu Pingan standing at the door with her buttocks in her hands and her hands in thanks. .

"彘儿"

Mother Chen covered her mouth in surprise and still made a sound of surprise.

"Haha, mother, I'm back." Zhu Ping'an immediately heard Chen's voice of surprise. After thanking him, he turned around, scratching his head and looking at Chen with a naive smile.

I originally wanted to give my mother a sudden surprise, but I didn’t expect my mother to go out so quickly. But seeing his mother Chen's surprised look, Zhu Pingan felt that it was worth coming all night.

"Why are you silly kid traveling at night? It's not safe. It would be great to come tomorrow at dawn." After Chen was overjoyed, she pretended to be angry and criticized Zhu Ping'an for not traveling all night.

Zhu Pingan’s innocent smile made Chen couldn’t help but click on Zhu Pingan’s forehead angrily.

"Who is this?"

Belatedly, Mrs. Chen noticed the coachman standing beside her and asked in confusion.

"Go back to Madam, I bought it from the kitchen of the Li family in Shanghe Village. I went to town to buy this afternoon on the order of our lady. I was wasted in town. No, I happened to meet Zhu when I came back. Mr. Zhu, give it to me. Our town has become famous. He is the youngest person in the history of our county. I am honored to have the opportunity to give him a lift." The coachman talked a lot, and although his words were confusing, he still expressed the general meaning clearly. .

The Li family in Shanghe Village, these words immediately attracted Mr. Chen’s attention, and then she heard the coachman saying that he was ordered by Miss Li to go shopping in the afternoon. By chance, he picked up something on the way home. Zhu Pingan.

So, Chen couldn't help but think of Li Shu again. She thought it was fate. Zhu Ping'an, who might have had to brave the wind and snow until midnight, came back in the dark of the night. This and Li Shu It's a big deal. An unintentional move saved Zhu Ping'an from having to trek in the wind and snow. It's really a blessing.

"Let's go home and warm up after drinking the hot soup." Ms. Chen invited the coachman to her home with enthusiasm.

"That's right, Brother Wang, don't be polite." Zhu Ping'an also extended an invitation to the coachman.

"If I can't see Madam or Mr. Zhu, I have to go back to pay my errands." The coachman shook his head and declined the kindness of Mrs. Chen and Zhu Ping'an, insisting on driving back to Li's house.

"We've already cooked at home. It's not too late to leave after drinking the soup. Thank you for coming to my piggy, otherwise we would have suffered on the way." Ms. Chen invited again.

"I can't do it, madam. My lady and the head of the house have made the rules, so I have to go back now. Being able to carry Mr. Zhu is also a blessing for our family. Madam, Mr. Zhu, I'm going back now." ”

The coachman still shook his head, got into the carriage, and said goodbye.

Looking at the carriage leaving, Ms. Chen was even more satisfied with the young lady Li Shu who had left home. The coachman said that Li Shu had already started to run the family. She was beautiful, filial and good at running a household. This was simply She is the daughter-in-law who fell from the sky.

A certain idea has become a towering tree in Chen's heart.

Zhu's father and Zhu Pingchuan also walked out of the house at this time. Seeing that Mrs. Chen came out and did not go back, and heard voices outside, they hurriedly walked out to find out.

Then I saw Zhu Pingan.

"Back." Zhu's father's voice was very calm, but his movements were very quick and he reached for the luggage that Zhu Pingan was carrying, which made Mrs. Chen very satisfied.

"Brother He, you are back." Zhu Pingchuan's business became much more joyful.

At this time, Mrs. Chen gave Zhu Pingchuan a soft look, "Huh, who just said that Xie'er would not be able to come back at night, and you still think I paid for the wax?"

" Mother." Zhu Pingchuan said in a long voice.

"Dad, brother, I'm back." Zhu Pingan responded with a naive smile. (End of chapter)
