Chapter 594 Homecoming
The excitement about the grand wedding banquet at Princess Mingyue's fiefdom had not yet subsided when the Su family, young and old, had already boarded the ship back to Yuzhou.
Return to hometown to visit relatives.
The world is now stable. I don't have to worry about bringing trouble to my relatives like I did before. If I can go back, I should go back and visit them.
More than 20 years have passed, but my hometown is still clear in my memory.
Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang were very nervous and excited on their way back home, but they were also homesick, and all kinds of complicated emotions were alternating between them.
After entering Yuzhou, Grandpa Su and Grandma Su often came out to the deck to look out, feeling a growing sense of familiarity from the familiar and unfamiliar scenery around them.
The most idle and busiest person along the way is the old man Du.
The dog kept the bearded man company all day and all night long, staring at Tianbao's belly and whispering.
"Tian Bao and Bai Xiaozi have been married for twenty-six days, right? Guess when grandpa's great-grandson will be born?"
"It's been twenty-seven days! Still no movement? Grandpa, do you want me to give you some medicine? No, no, I have to let nature take its course..."
"It's been thirty days, there should be a door!"
"Back then, the little wheat ear was created by her mother's constant chanting. Tsk, why are you running away? Stop and listen to grandpa chant a few more times, then chant with me!"
Bearded man with dark face
Day by day, only three words remain in my mind.
Go to hell.
The Liu and He families received the news of their return early on, and were even more excited than the people who were coming back. On the agreed arrival day, they all rushed to the small pier beside the Yuzhou official road early in the morning to wait for them to come back.
The message was delivered by someone from the Killing Palace. Bai Yu calculated the time very accurately, and he knew exactly the day and time of arrival.
The transport ship arrived at the shore, and the relatives met again after decades of separation. They looked at each other on and off the ship, staring at each other for a long time, tears streaming down their faces.
More than 20 years.
When we met again, my parents had gray hair and my daughter's black hair had turned white.
When we first met, we almost didn't recognize each other.
"father……"
"mother……"
Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang staggered to their respective parents and called out to them, causing the elderly who had been waiting for a long time to burst into tears.
An exile, a separation after twenty-five years.
The elder is very old and still longs to see you.
"It's good you're back, it's good you're back!" Crying for too long is bad for your health. The younger generations of the two families gathered around, their eyes red and chattering to liven up the atmosphere. "Let's go home first! We knew you were coming back, so we cleaned up the room early and prepared lots of delicious food! Grandpa and grandma, aunts and uncles... I guarantee you'll be surprised later to see how much our family has changed!"
The two groups met up, got on several ox carts parked on the roadside, and headed home in a huge procession, attracting a lot of attention.
Tianbao and his group had come back before, although that was eight years ago, but it did not make the younger generations become estranged.
He Guang and his sister, and the three brothers Shitou, Bangchui and Xiaoniu from the Liu family finally got to meet their cousins, and they couldn't wait to tell them all about the good times their family had experienced in the past few years.
Mrs. Wu hugged Nianniansuisui and teased her all the way, with a smile on her face all the time.
Liu's eldest and second aunts held Su Xiuer's arms and never stopped talking.
As time goes by, everyone has changed a lot, and things are getting better and better.
Liujia Village and Hejia Village were as lively as New Year's Day. The villagers were telling each other that the Su family had returned to visit their relatives!
The Su family of Princess Mingyue Su Jiuni!
The three boys in their family, Su An, Su Wen and Su Wu, all came back with their wives, and each of them is as pretty as a flower!
And Tianbao also came back with her husband, the same Mr. Bai who used to buy food and deliver rice to everyone! What a perfect match!
Oh, and there's also their Xiu'er! Hey, she married the right guy this time! She married a tall, strong man, and gave birth to two children! I heard it was twins!
As expected, it was Ade from the Chen family who was infertile. The old woman from the Chen family refused to admit it even though it was diagnosed by the old genius doctor himself. Bah!
…
Old Master Su no longer has any relatives in Yuzhou. Back then, his master's family committed a crime that implicated a large number of relatives. After being exiled, they completely cut off all ties and contacts with each other.
Grandma Su's situation is similar. After her parents passed away many years ago, she stopped contacting her relatives from her mother's side.
The old couple came back this time not only to let their daughter-in-law come back to see her family, but more importantly, they wanted to go back to Dahuai Village and visit their old neighbors in person.
Upon learning that Princess Mingyue and her family were returning to Yuzhou to visit relatives, the local governor and the county magistrate came to visit and personally lead the way for the old couple.
Dahuai Village still looks the same as the old couple remembers. The big locust tree at the entrance of the village is still lush and green. The only difference is that there is a pharmacy opposite the tree.
It is a brick and tile building with three rooms. There is a plaque hanging above the main hall, which reads - Dahuai Village Pharmacy.
The doctor in charge of the pharmacy was none other than Doctor Shi, who also had a head full of white hair.
The governor said, "This pharmacy was built by order of the higher-ups, and Doctor Shi was hired to run it. Folks from all over the country come here for treatment for minor ailments. Those in financial difficulty can apply for free medication from the pharmacy, and all losses will be reimbursed by the local government with receipts. This was a decree issued by the emperor himself. Pharmacies like this aren't just here; other places are also building them one by one, but Dahuai Village is fortunate to be the first pilot. Our emperor is wise and loves his people like his own children, and all the people love him!"
Bai Yu stood in front of the pharmacy, looked at the plaque, and quietly held Tianbao's hand.
He knew that this pharmacy was Wei Li's preference for Tianbao and the Su family.
He was not jealous, on the contrary, he admired Wei Li.
From small love to big love, Wei Li is the most suitable person to sit in that position.
As we walked past the pharmacy and into the depths of the village, all the villagers came out to greet us.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su's eyes turned red unconsciously. Looking at those faces, some familiar and some unfamiliar, the past memories emerged before their eyes one after another.
The old site of the Su family is in the deepest part of the village. The house has collapsed long ago, but it is not as the old couple expected to see a desolate ruin.
A ancestral hall was built there.
Su Family Ancestral Hall.
There was no wooden plaque in the ancestral hall, but it was cleaned spotlessly. There was an incense burner in the hall with burnt red incense sticks in it.
The old village chief of Dahuai Village has passed away. The new village chief is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was very reserved in front of the Su family. He rubbed his hands and smiled and told them that thanks to the Su family, everyone's life has become more and more prosperous in recent years, and later they spontaneously built this ancestral hall.
Local people often come here to burn incense, and regard the Su family as their benefactors and express their gratitude. With every stick of incense, the people pray for the Su family.
Standing in the ancestral hall, the old couple supported each other, smiling but holding back tears.
These elders don’t have any special abilities. They have lived their entire lives as honest peasants, and all they know and do is this much.
The ones who have a bright future are the children in the family.
That is why they were so happy and proud when they saw the medicine hall and the ancestral hall.
The descendants of the Su family are all extremely outstanding, not because of their personal achievements, but because of their willingness to benefit the people.
It's not just Wei Li who quietly works for the benefit of the people. There's also Su An, who works hard in business, Su Wen, who enters the court to offer advice, Su Wu, who makes friends all over the world, Bai Yu, who defends Dai Viet during the war, and their own sweet baby...
Even if the children don't say it, they know it.
This trip back home was more successful than they had imagined.
