Chapter 478 Poor Straight Man
Feng didn't know what he was going to do, so she hurriedly called him back.
"Second brother, sit down again and eat with the villagers for a while."
Jiang Fenghu turned his head innocently, "Mom, I know, so I want to go back to the house to get the oil lamp. It's almost dark, and everyone is crying. I'm afraid that the elderly uncle will be dizzy and eat the food into his nose."
After saying this, the villagers couldn't help laughing.
So the village chief sniffed and simply pointed it out.
"Okay, we've actually eaten a long time ago, so don't occupy the table to pretend. Put away the food, and whoever is sleepy can go home and rest. Those who want to chat for a while can stay. Anyway, it's only for this night."
After hearing this, no one left, as if it was a pre-arranged agreement.
The women stood up in unison and began to clear the dishes. The men stretched their backs and moved the table away.
The breeze was cool at night, and the oil lamps flickered and cast long shadows on the ground.
After cleaning up, everyone sat down again. The men held cattail leaves and fanned the wives and children from time to time to drive away mosquitoes.
The women hugged their sleepy children and looked down at them in between gossips, fearing that their bellies would be exposed and catch a cold.
Little Nuobao held his father's big hand and strolled from the front yard to the back yard, just to eat more.
When the moon was hanging on the branches, the little fat girl was so sleepy that she yawned twice, tilted her head, and fell asleep on her father's thigh.
Mu Yihan lowered his eyes, looking at the girl lovingly and tenderly.
When the little Nuobao was half asleep and half awake, she felt her father holding her in his arms, and seemed to weigh her twice. A helpless voice came, "Did this little guy eat the weight secretly? Why is it so heavy that it presses on his arm again?" She
was very angry in her heart, but in the end she couldn't resist the fight between her eyelids. The fat girl could only kick her short legs twice and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, the Jiang family said goodbye to the villagers and set off on the road back to Beijing with the soldiers of the Liaodong Camp.
Everyone talked enough last night, and now everyone was not so sad.
They all waved to the carriage and urged the Jiang family to write more letters.
Only Cuicui stayed at home with red and swollen eyes, and refused to come out to see them off.
The village chief and his friends thought that Cuicui was reluctant to leave the Jiang family, and asked Widow Gu to call her out, otherwise the convoy would leave.
Only the Jiang family knew that Cuicui was reluctant to say goodbye to Ali, so she was so awkward.
Xiao Nuobao looked at Ali, who was also disappointed, and said with a smile, "Uncle Ali, hesitation will lead to failure. For some things, you have to take the initiative yourself!"
Ali thought about it and got off the carriage.
When Cuicui finally came over, he held it in for a long time before he uttered, "Cuicui, I... I'm going back to Beijing, take good care of yourself!"
He wanted to say take care, but the whole village was staring at him, and he was shy to show his feelings, and he was nervous and his words slipped.
Cuicui rolled her eyes at him angrily, "What's so good about me? I'm just a country girl, exposed to the wind and rain all day long. No matter how much I take care of myself, I can't be as beautiful as the noble ladies in the capital. Just go back to your capital!"
After saying that, she poured all the sour apricots that were originally divided into two portions together and gave them to Feng.
"Auntie, my apricots are late in harvest. I just picked these at home. You can take them on the road." Cuicui said, touched Nuobao's little face, and glared at Ali again.
"Some people who can't even speak should stay away from my good apricots. Auntie, don't give them to him!"
Little Nuobao looked at Cuicui, who was like a little pepper, and then looked at Ali, whose face was flushed.
She picked up an apricot, biting it and leaving a tooth mark, and said helplessly to Mu Yihan, "Daddy, Uncle Ali is so stupid, his little hot pepper is going to be pissed off!"
Mu Yihan looked calm, but ruthlessly complained, "Otherwise, Ali is already nineteen, and still hasn't found a wife, there is a reason."
This contempt from the national teacher was really true.
Xiao Lanyi slapped her thigh and couldn't help laughing until she wanted to hiccup.
Ali turned back in embarrassment, "Master National Teacher, what you said... is a bit hurtful."
"And you!" He didn't dare to talk back to the national teacher, so he could only push Xiao Lanyi, "Why are you laughing, aren't you also nineteen, and don't you have a marriage yet!"
Xiao Lanyi looked proud, glanced forward at Jiang Fengze, and the corners of her mouth raised even more wantonly.
Jiang Fengze rode a tall horse, standing in the front with an upright figure, his black hair fluttering in the wind, as if responding to Xiao Lanyi's smile.
"It's time, let's go!"
With his order, everyone traveled day and night, and after seven or eight days of travel, they finally returned to the capital.
The wheels of the carriage creaked, rolling over the tail of late summer, and sending the Jiang family into the cool early autumn.
The scenery along the way also changed from green to yellow rice leaves, the eve of the harvest.
As soon as they entered the capital, Xiao Nuobao touched his chin, struggling with whether to go back to the princess's mansion first or to Longxuan Palace first.
Mu Yihan and Feng Shi were silent.
But both of them held their heads high, secretly hoping that the girl would follow them first, just like two cats vying to be petted by their owner first.
However, at this time, the laughter of the people on the street caught Xiao Nuobao's attention first.
"Thank you so much, my child's fever is really gone, you are better than a miracle doctor!"
"Well, how can it be my credit? It's the powerful pills. I heard that half a pill can save a life."
"Then where did you get it? Can you take me to buy some?"
"You can't buy it. My wife asked the saint there for it when she was at her parents' home in Wala. She only gave me two pills in total. I heard that they are antibiotics."
"The saint of Wala? She is my son's lifesaver. May the saint be in good health!"
Puzzled, Xiao Nuobao poked his head out and looked out the window, only to see two people with grateful faces.
