Chapter 306 How did you bring back the bed boards?
Su Chunlin and Su Chunsen immediately stood up and ran a few steps, wishing they could stretch their necks two miles out to get a closer look.
"Ah! It seems like it's really them! Why are these brats so fierce!" Su Chunsen cursed and hurried over there.
When they arrived, Shen Yi and his friends had just got the carriage up. Although they looked embarrassed, they were smiling brightly.
"A Sheng! What are you doing?" Su Changxi shouted excitedly while running.
Su Sheng turned around and saw the people coming and they all jumped up to greet them.
Su Changxi ran to Su Sheng and hugged him tightly, "You're back! You're finally back! Daddy can finally feel at ease!"
As he said this, he hugged Song Yongnian again, crying and laughing, as if he wanted to put an end to the bitterness of these years.
Su Chunlin took Shen Yi to look at him for a long time, and asked with concern: "Are you injured?"
"Father-in-law, I'm fine, nothing happened!" Shen Yi smiled with a simple and honest look on his face.
Su Chunlin was overjoyed. After he felt relieved, he asked about other people's situations. When he learned that everyone was fine, he was very happy. "Let's go! Let's go home quickly and have a good reunion."
Su Changxi sat on the ox cart, looking at the long plaque under his buttocks, frowning slightly, and scolded: "Dad knows that you are nostalgic, but the border is so far away from here, why did you bring back the bed board for sleeping? We have it at home!
Besides, the bed is so small, it’s only suitable for children to sleep on.”
When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter and laughed until tears came out.
Su Changxi said with a straight face: "Did I say something wrong?"
Song Yongnian suppressed his laughter and explained, "Father-in-law, what you are sitting on is the plaque bestowed upon us by His Majesty, with the inscription written by His Majesty himself."
With a "clang", Su Changxi fell off the carriage.
Su Sheng was shocked and stopped immediately. "Dad, what happened to you? Are you hurt?"
Su Changxi rolled over on the snow, looking at the bed board in shock. No, it was a plaque. "What the hell do you think this is?"
"This is a plaque bestowed by the emperor. We have made great contributions and do not need official positions. The emperor has awarded each of us a plaque. We can take it back and hang it at home. Anyone who sees it in the future will have to salute. Hahaha." Su Sheng looked proud.
Su Changxi's legs were shaking with fear. "I just sat on it. Isn't that disrespectful? Will I be beheaded?"
"No, no, Dad, don't scare yourself." Su Sheng quickly helped Su Changxi get on the carriage.
But he refused to do so and insisted on squeezing together with Su Sheng. When he thought about it, he secretly glanced at the back. He looked like an old thief, which made people laugh.
The group found an inn in the city to stay, and while eating, Shen Yi and the others told them what happened after Su Chunlin and the others left the military camp.
Su Chunlin didn't expect that Shen Yi and the others had such good fortune. He was very happy and expressed his support for Shen Yi's decision.
"We are just ordinary people. We are not childless and without any ties. We cannot climb up for fame and fortune by any means necessary. There is really no need to fight for those things. Even if we win, there will be no future for us. Just look at the county magistrate. The previous Lord Liang was promoted to a small position because of his meritorious service in governance and hard work for so many years. How long has the current county magistrate been here?
I think he will die of old age as the magistrate of Zhaohua County!"
He lowered his voice and dared not shout.
Everyone nodded.
Su Sheng said, "Let alone the county magistrate, isn't it the same with our town magistrate? The previous town magistrate died of old age and was replaced by the current one. If he commits a crime, he will be replaced. If he doesn't commit a crime, he will be in office until he dies. Once something happens, he will be dealt with immediately. It's just a good title and he has some power in our place, but he is nothing in the county." Su Sheng said carelessly.
Now that he has received a plaque bestowed by the emperor, even the cricket prefect does not have to worry about being reported.
After the group had their meal, Shen Yi took Su Sheng and the others to the county government office to register with the county magistrate.
The items bestowed by the emperor must be approved by the government. Only after the government confirms that the items are correct, missing or damaged can they be taken back, and the government must also report the situation truthfully.
The county magistrate did not dare to neglect the news.
When he saw the plaques, he kowtowed three times. He was very kind and friendly to Shen Yi and the others, and did not dare to act like an official at all.
Things went very smoothly.
As soon as Shen Yi and his companions set out to leave, the news spread throughout the county.
The carriage drove all the way to Moshi Town.
The town was still the same as when they left, only a little older. They were eager to go home and had no intention of staying.
Su Sheng and his companions took Su Changxi and Su Chunsen back to Dongmen Village to report the news, while Su Chunlin, Shen Yi and Shen Dagou returned to Shenjiazhuang.
The carriage entered the village at dusk.
Shenjiazhuang was covered in snow, with smoke rising from the chimneys.
The carriage slowed down and moved along the country road. The villagers heard the noise and stuck their heads out to take a look, and happened to meet Shen Yi's eyes.
Shen Yi smiled at him, "Uncle."
"Hey! Chen Yi! It's Chen Yi! And Da Gou! You're back?" The villagers looked surprised and shouted so loudly that it startled the people around them.
Suddenly the quiet village revived and many people came out to watch the fun.
When Wei Erya received the news, she rushed out without thinking and ran to where there were crowds of villagers.
Shen Dagou and Shen Yi were surrounded by villagers and asked all sorts of questions. When he saw Wei Erya, his eyes welled up and he quickly jumped off the carriage and rushed over, "Erya! I'm back!"
Wei Erya took two steps at a time, her vision blurred by tears, "You're really back, you're really back! Woo woo woo."
"Big dog, big dog." Huang Xinghua and Shen Mu supported each other and ran over here.
Shen Dagou hurried forward to greet them, "Dad and Mom, your unfilial son is back!"
"Wuuuu, what nonsense are you talking about! My son!" Huang Xinghua burst into tears and hugged Shen Dagou tightly, refusing to let go.
Shen Yi looked at this scene with envy and a smile, and then an oil-paper umbrella appeared above his head.
Chen Yi turned around abruptly and met Su Tai's smiling, gentle eyes.
"I'm here to pick you up!"
"Xiao Tai!" Shen Yi was so excited that he picked up Su Tai and spun around.
Su Tai giggled.
The villagers all understood and congratulated them on their family reunion.
"Okay, put me down now." Su Tai said in a scolding tone, pointing at Han and the children who were coming over not far away, "Look who they are."
Chen Yi put Su Tai down, took a closer look, and his heart skipped a beat, "Mother-in-law, Yue'er! Congrong! And..."
Shen Yi's eyes fell on the twins, and he asked ecstatically, "Are they twins, boy and girl?"
Su Tai nodded.
Shen Yi hurriedly strode forward, stretched out his long arms, gathered the four children into his arms, and hugged them tightly.
The four children laughed excitedly.
"Dad! I miss you!" Shen Yuezhang hugged Shen Yi's neck tightly, smiling contentedly and proudly, wishing that everyone knew that was her dad.
