532 Chang Chunfeng goes to He's house

They had lunch at the old patriarch's house. Ping'an insisted on giving the old patriarch a ten-liang silver ingot and also took some gifts that had been prepared in advance.

"Old Patriarch, Village Chief, Ping An and I have to go to the county town this afternoon. Tomorrow Ping An will go to Wanjia Village to pay homage.

We still have a lot of things to do during this period, so I'd like to trouble the village chief to take care of the archway."

The village chief nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, the memorial archway is the top priority of our village, and it will definitely be done well, but you must come for its completion. I will inform you one day in advance, but where can I find you?"

"Brother Wan will be staying at the He family for the time being. He will naturally notify us when the memorial archway is completed. Old clan leader, village chief, thank you for your hospitality. Ping An and I will take our leave now."

Out of Changjia Village.

"Dad, have you thought it through? Are you really going to my grandfather's house?"

"Of course I have to go. They treated me very well. Besides, they also took good care of you and your son over the years. I have to go this time."

"Okay, let's go back to the county inn this afternoon and have a good rest. Dad, you don't have to go anywhere tomorrow. Just lie down in the inn. You don't look very well. You are too tired on the journey."

"Dad knows."

"Lin Feng, if you know where to go to Er Qiang's house, go and tell him that my father and I will be there soon."

"Yes." Lin Feng soon disappeared.

"Ping An, these people of yours are very capable."

Ping An raised the corner of his lips: "Of course I have the ability. My greatest wealth is these people. Dad, eight guards are not enough for you. How about I give you two when we return to Beijing?"

Chang Chunfeng smiled and said, "No need, you can keep them for yourself. Among these eight people of mine, except for the third boy who has no skills, the other seven are pretty good. They were obtained by Dad by chance. They used to be guards of wealthy families.

This time I brought four people, Xiao Si, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, with me. I left two of them at home, and the remaining two are also helping to train some boys I bought at my farm. In two years, we will have enough people.

Ping'an, Dad hasn't told anyone that after returning to Beijing this time, I might go to Dingzhou to serve as the prefect. But now I'm not the only one vying for this position, so things are still uncertain.

Being sent abroad for a few years and earning money will be very beneficial for your future. Besides, it can be considered a promotion. The best thing is that Dingzhou is not far from the capital.

It's just that it's not so convenient for me to meet you. If the transfer is successful, I will probably take Yan'er with me. I don't want to leave him to be disciplined by your stepmother. Boys should not be spoiled too much. Your stepmother will do as she pleases. It's up to her to stay in the capital or follow me."

"Congratulations in advance, Dad. Dingzhou is a good place. My uncle's hometown is also there. I will accompany him back in the second half of this year."

Chang Chunfeng nodded: "Doctor Sun? He is a very good person."

Xiao Wu stopped the car and said, "Master, we have arrived at the He family."

Ping An jumped out of the car, and Chang Chunfeng followed closely behind.

I haven't been here for more than ten years. The house is still in the same location, but it's much bigger.

He felt a little sad. He used to come to Yue's family as a son-in-law, but now he was an outsider.

The past is still vivid in my mind, but everything has changed.

The entire He family was waiting in the yard.

Chang Chunfeng took two quick steps.

Just as the He family was about to kneel, Ping An stopped them.

"Grandpa and grandma, we are all family. You are the elders, so there is no need to be polite."

The two old men's eyes were already filled with tears.

Wan Changsheng felt a little complicated for a moment.

If it weren't for the accident, Ping'an would not be his son, and he would not be the son-in-law of the He family.

The person in front of me is...

Chang Chunfeng knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the two elders: "Chunfeng is sorry for the two elders. I kowtow to you and apologize for my sins."

The old man hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Ping An's father, there's no need to be like this. What happened is over. You didn't mean to do it. You can only say that everything is fate."

The old lady began to cry.

Sixteen years.

Her daughter and her grandson had a very difficult life.

Fortunately, everything turns out well.

He Zishan had a complicated expression: "Ping An's father, come in and sit down."

He looked at Wan Changsheng again and said, "Brother-in-law, come in and sit down."

Half an hour later.

The He family felt indescribable emotions as they watched the carriage go away.

The old man looked at the one hundred taels of silver in his hand, which was forced upon him by Chang Chunfeng, and then looked at the pile of gifts on the table.

"It's not easy for him, Changsheng, so don't worry about it."

Wan Changsheng smiled and said, "How could that be? We met alone in the capital, and now we each have our own families. Ping An is my son and also his son. We get along naturally, and Ping An feels comfortable, so we came back together this time.

Ping'an will come over to worship the ancestors tomorrow. After that he has to go to the county school to give lectures. I will stay here and watch them build the archway.

It would be best if Sanqiang's wedding date is set before the memorial arch is completed. Ping'an and his father have to start work in early August, so the journey will take a month. We have agreed to leave before June 20th. If Sanqiang wants to go to the capital to study, he will have to hurry."

He Zishu said hurriedly, "Brother-in-law, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Sanqiang. It's much better to study in the Imperial College in Beijing than in the Fuxue Academy. Ping An can also teach him. I will go to my in-laws' house early tomorrow morning to discuss the wedding date. In fact, the two families have almost reached an agreement, but the final date can only be set after you come back."

Wan Changsheng nodded: "That's good."

Tomorrow he will take Ping An to the village to worship their ancestors. The old patriarch insists on hosting a buffet, and he really can't refuse, so he has to agree and give him the silver tomorrow.

The old lady sighed: "I said that we need to build more houses. There are too many safe people, and there is still not enough room at home. Otherwise..."

He Zishu laughed, "Will Ping An come tomorrow? He will come when the memorial arch is completed, and he will come when the three heroes get married. It doesn't matter if he stays at home or not. Young people like to be free, and he has so many people."

The old lady was silent. She had seen her son-in-law and eldest grandson, but it was a pity that her daughter and youngest grandson and granddaughter could not come back.

The old couple will be seventy in a few years, and they don’t know whether they will be able to see their daughter again in this lifetime.

Capital city.

Mei Niang looked into the distance in the afterglow for a long time without moving.

Ah Wu came over and said, "Mom, are you worried about my husband and the others? There are so many people traveling together, it will be fine."

Mei Niang said, "I wonder if they have returned home yet? If we calculate the date, it is time.

I wonder if my parents are in good health? They are already in their sixties. "

"Mom, let Dad accompany you back next year and stay for a few more days. There are guards at home and it will be safe on the road."

Mei Niang smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later. Pingxuan will be six years old next year and will have to go to school. If you get pregnant, I won't be able to let you go."

Awu blushed. After getting married, she naturally wanted to have a baby as soon as possible, but how could one say for sure about such a thing?

She changed the subject: "Mom, let's stay at the farm for two days tomorrow. Xi'er and Pingxuan are both there. My great grandfather and master's grandfather live there and don't want to go home. My husband said that the Hao family's grandfather and grandmother will also stay at the farm for a while. It will be more lively with more people."
