The three members of Lu Baichuan's family looked at each other, not knowing what the reason was.
However, no one came for a while, so they went in first to pack their things and prepare to move in.
After a while, the door became lively. Everyone stood at the door and watched, unable to hide the joy on their faces.
When Jiang Jiuniang raised her head, she saw an aunt with a smile on her face. She was looking at the door. There was no malicious intent at first glance, so she said with a smile: "Aunts, come in and sit down. It's just that the house may be a little messy. We haven’t had time to pack them up yet.”
It was a pile of things they had just moved off the carriage, and they were all placed in the yard, and they hadn’t had time to pack them up.
The aunt didn't hesitate and said immediately: "Then let's come in. You have a big belly, let's help you clean it up!"
As he said that, he He walked in first and waved, followed by a group of wives and children, and the courtyard immediately became lively.
"Hey, isn't this the third wife's wife? This is another happy occasion! Is the third child back with you this time!"
Looking out from the crowd A head with a face that was very familiar to Jiang Jiuniang. It belonged to her former next door neighbor, Sister-in-law Zhang, who was one of the few retail households in the village.
"Sister-in-law Zhang!"
Jiang Jiuniang has the memory of the original owner, so she naturally knows Sister-in-law Zhang. Sister-in-law Zhang is an upright and hospitable person. As a neighbor, she is always familiar with the Lu family. He took special care of her, especially the pregnant little widow, and asked her to try whatever delicious food was cooked at home.
When there was a severe drought, Sister-in-law Zhang’s family returned to her parents’ home early and did not flee the famine with the people in Lujia Village. So they lost contact. Unexpectedly, Sister-in-law Zhang came back.
For some reason, Jiang Jiuniang burst into tears instantly. She knew this was the emotion of the original owner, but the original owner had been gone for so long, so was it wrong to still be able to control her emotions like this?
Because she really felt the joy and excitement in her heart.
Sister-in-law Zhang came over with a smile. When she saw her crying like this, she became a little jealous, but she still said: "Look at you, you have become more and more beautiful over the years. At that time, I heard Uncle Lu say that you and Your third child is reunited. I’m really happy for you!”
Jiang Jiuniang couldn’t help but hug her. She was still as plump and soft as before.
Sister-in-law Zhang has the kind of physique that makes her gain weight even if she drinks water. Even during the drought years, she never lost weight, and now she looks more rounded.
“Aunt Zhang!”
The dog moved something outCome, when I saw Sister-in-law Zhang, I rushed over excitedly.
Sister-in-law Zhang didn’t even bother to talk to Jiang Jiuniang, she just stared at the young boy in front of her in a daze, and then there was a burst of surprise in her eyes: "Is this a dog? He has grown so big, but he is so tall It's so handsome, I don't even dare to recognize it! Let me take a good look at it!"
Sister-in-law Zhang hugged the dog into her arms, expressing genuine love and joy.
"Hey, when the dog was little, he was just a skinny monkey. He would get sick every three days. But now he looks much better!"
Sister-in-law Zhang touched the dog's head lovingly, with tears in her eyes, just like looking at her own child.
"I'm fine now! I even learned martial arts!"
The dog straightened up and wished he could perform a performance for Aunt Zhang on the spot.
"Good, good, good!"
When Lu Baichuan came out, she said a few words to Lu Baichuan, nothing more than saying that Jiang Jiuniang and Gou'er had a hard time in the past few years. , I must love them well in the future and not let them down.
Lu Baichuan naturally responded seriously and expressed his gratitude to Sister-in-law Zhang.
Afterwards, Sister-in-law Zhang briefly told them what had happened over the years.
Soon after they fled the famine, the current emperor, who was also the then King Chen, came with people to provide relief. He recalled many refugees, gave them money and food, and also transported water from far away. Come here, everyone relies on these to survive.
Sister-in-law Zhang’s family fled famine with her mother’s family. They were quite lucky. They didn’t encounter any bandits or the like on the road. But there was no water and food, so her youngest son couldn’t survive. , I got sick on the way and couldn't see a doctor. I didn't have anything to eat or drink. I died within two days.
Sister-in-law Zhang burst into tears. At that time, she thought that her youngest son had been like a calf since he was a child and couldn't hold on. I'm afraid that the dog would have been weak and sick since he was a child...
So, before Old Man Lu came back to move the grave, she always felt that the dog was gone. Every time she burned paper for her youngest son, she would also burn a piece for the dog, and she kept Talking about his son, he should protect his dog brother more on the road to hell...
When old man Lu came back, the place had already settled down, and he learned that their whole family was fine and still standing firm in Jingzhou. They even wanted to move their ancestral graves. While she was happy for them, she cried again after returning. That night she burned a lot of paper for her younger son, saying that she didn't know that he was the only one all these years and should burn more papers. Give him some money.
When Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu came back, they brought several cartloads of goodies. At that time, every household in the village received a gift from Lu.My family gave me warmth, quilts, food, rice and noodles, and even money.
Sister-in-law Zhang’s family had a good relationship with the Lu family before, and they were one of the few acquaintances in the village. Old Man Lu gave a lot. It is precisely because of this that her family is living a good life now. Her husband set up a small stall selling pancakes on the street and made a decent income.
Following Old Man Lu’s suggestion, the two sons of the family were sent to school, and the remaining girl was also sent to the city to become a master of a bookkeeper. Over the years, she has been working with her master. If you work as a cashier in a wealthy family, your future will be bright.
Only occasionally I still think of my little son who died young. If he hadn’t been sick, he would have been as old as a dog by now.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but start crying again.
People cannot be resurrected after death. Although Jiang Jiuniang felt sad, she could not do anything to help her. She could only advise her to refrain from mourning.
While they were talking, other people were already helping to pack up the things in the yard. Some even went to the big cabinet in the main room to take out a thick quilt and prepare it. Sunbathe in the yard to keep them warm at night while they sleep.
Jiang Jiuniang was a little surprised. Sister-in-law Zhang wiped away her tears, calmed down and explained: "The Lu family is our great benefactor. We can live a good life now because of the help of the Lu family. , we had no repayment, so each household took turns to clean up your house. People come every day, so now no one knows where your things are placed better than us!"
Speaking of this, Sister-in-law Zhang had a smile on her face again.
This is something Jiang Jiuniang and his wife did not expect. They thought it was occupied by someone, but they did not expect that the villagers have been helping to clean it. I am afraid that the unoccupied yard will be cleaner than the homes of these villagers. tidy.
The villagers are honest and simple, this is their way of repaying the Lu family.
