After several days of traveling, we watched the mountainous scenery gradually turn into a flat and vast field stretching as far as the eye could see.
The roads are wider, and the buildings along the road have changed from layers of exquisite small buildings to simple and elegant houses in black and white.
As dusk approaches, the sun hangs in the western sky, and the sunset turns the sky over there into a gorgeous golden-red landscape painting.
The wind blows the clouds, giving life to the landscape painting and changing the posture of the mountains and rivers, as if presenting the process of changes in mountains and rivers in this form before people's eyes.
The outline of a magnificent city in the distance gradually became clear.
Xiaohong slowed down the carriage and asked, "Madam, should we return to Dong'an City tonight to rest, or continue on to Xidi City?"
Li Sisi asked in surprise, "We've already reached Dong'an City?"
Li Nian lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the "Xiao" flag on the city wall fluttering in the wind, looking majestic.
He said, "Let's stay in Dong'an City for one night and set off again tomorrow."
"Yes!" Xiaohong obeyed the order and drove the carriage towards Dong'an City.
Returning to the place where they had lived for more than a year, the two best friends inexplicably felt like they were "returning home."
Perhaps it's because the feeling here is more friendly and peaceful, unlike the capital city where it's so restrictive and one always has to be careful in what they say and do.
When they came back this time, they had about 10 to 20 guards, and two carriages. Although they were not as luxurious as the ones they usually used in the capital, they were more spacious than ordinary carriages.
Therefore, as soon as the group entered the city, they attracted the attention of people along the way.
Until the carriage stopped in front of the alley of Li's house.
Xiaobai arrived earlier and was waiting in front of the door.
Li Nian got off the carriage with Jinhe in her arms and supported by Li Sisi.
This is Xiao Yunya's first time traveling far away, and everything about you is new to her along the way.
At this moment, the uncle next door saw them coming back and came over to greet them in surprise: "Hey, Sisi, you're back?"
Li Sisi responded with a smile: "Yes, uncle."
The other neighbors who were watching from the side saw that although she was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a fair and tender face like a little girl, she was obviously much more beautiful than when she was in the northwest.
Even if you don't know her identity, just by looking at her dress and posture, you can guess which family she is from.
Li Nian saw Li Sisi chatting animatedly with her former neighbors, so she let her go.
Holding Jinhe, he walked towards the yard.
As he walked, he ordered: "Xiaobai, take everyone to clean up the house first."
"Yes!" Xiaobai responded and took a few people to clean up the house.
Li Nian said again: "Yu Niang, call two helpers to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner."
Xiao Yunya followed her, looking around curiously: "Sister-in-law, is this where you two lived before?"
Li Nian said "hmm" lightly.
Xiao Yunya thought of how Li Sisi had just chatted with those people outside the door, and couldn't help but ask: "Did you have a good relationship with your neighbors on both sides?"
Li Nian thought for a moment and said truthfully, "It's okay. We're all neighbors, so we'll just say hello when we meet."
Xiao Yunya nodded, not quite understanding: "Oh."
In the past, she had only come into contact with the daughters of wealthy families in the capital, and she had never come into contact with ordinary people.
My mother often said that people in the market are mostly troublemakers and shrews, so we should have less contact with them and never make friends with them.
So he kindly advised: "Sister-in-law, why don't you go and call the second sister-in-law back? It's better not to contact those people."
Li Nian glanced at her sideways: "Your second sister-in-law is just chatting with those aunts, what's wrong with that?"
Xiao Yunya said: "But, my mother said..."
"Stop!" Lin Nian interrupted her. "Now that we've left the capital, it doesn't matter what your mother says. Besides, I don't agree with any of her opinions."
"It's all right if you listen to your mother. But don't ask us to listen to your mother too. Now, go inside and get some rest."
As she was speaking, Li Sisi walked into the house with her hands full of things.
She looked at Li Nian with a bright smile: "The aunts are so warm and welcoming. They were worried that we would have no food to eat just after returning, so they insisted on giving me some." She said with a smile, holding up her hands full of things.
Li Nian replied, "Then take it to the kitchen quickly. There's nowhere to buy vegetables at this time. These vegetables are really a timely relief."
Li Sisi nodded: "Okay, I'll take it now."
While the two were talking, two more women came into the yard together: "Sisi..."
The two women saw Li Nian holding Jinhe in the courtyard, and their eyes lit up: "Niannian, is this... that girl Jinhe?"
Li Nian smiled politely, "Yes, Auntie, are you looking for Sisi?"
"It's the same with you." Two women came over. "Since you have a large family and nowhere to buy food at this time, we'd like to bring some food to your house."
"Thank you for your trouble, aunts. I feel bad about this. Sisi has already collected quite a lot."
One of the women said, "Hey, what's the big deal? They're just worthless things. I hope you don't mind them."
"How could I dislike it? The gift is small but the thought is great. What's more, what you sent really solved our family's urgent need." Li Nian hugged Jinhe, "Jinhe, call me grandma."
Jin He said obediently: "Grandma."
"Oh, good, good." The two of them smiled brightly when they heard it.
A woman asked, "Time flies! The little girl has grown up! She was still breastfeeding when I left last time. Can she eat now?"
Li Nian replied: "Yes."
The lady asked, "Can you walk now?"
Li Nian replied: "Yes."
