Chapter 430: Whatever you want to do
They soon arrived at Songshan Village.
When we left, the ground was covered with snow.
When we came back, the grass was green and the wheat was in ears.
but.
This year we have to work harder than usual.
The ground cracked and dust flew everywhere.
The weeds also drooped their heads and wilted in the sun.
After entering the village for a while, I heard someone yelling, "The number one scholar is back."
This voice was like an echo, spreading far and wide.
The villagers who had already gone home to cook and play with their children rushed to the village entrance like a tide.
Wen Yan was shocked.
She pushed Ying Zhilin away and jumped off the carriage. She looked around and jumped into the fields beside her.
As soon as she jumped up, an arm was put around her waist.
She felt dizzy and landed on Ying Zhilin's shoulder.
Liu Laosi was shocked: "Little sister, why did you jump out of the car...
Hey, little brother-in-law, why are you dancing too?
Ying Zhilin carried Wen Yan on his back and took a small path, running furiously. He did not forget to remind Liu Laosi: "Fourth brother, please drive the carriage back home."
Liu Laosi was full of questions: "...What on earth is going on?"
Mrs. Liu spread her hands and said, "I don't know! But it's definitely right to follow them."
After saying this, Mrs. Liu San also jumped off the carriage and followed Wen Yan and the others.
Liu Laosi: "Huh?!"
When the villagers surrounded the carriage and asked questions, he finally knew why.
He grabbed the whip and almost cried under the siege.
Ying Zhilin carried Wen Yan and avoided the villagers' encirclement, and then met a few students who were dragging their schoolbags and were covered in mud and dirt.
They were still laughing and playing.
Wen Yan narrowed her eyes: "Those kids look so familiar."
"You little bastards, you haven't come home since school and are still playing outside. I'll take care of them for you, my sister-in-law." Sister Liu rolled up her sleeves and rushed over.
She grabbed a child's ear with one hand.
The two children covered their ears and cried out in pain: "Auntie San, spare us!"
When I got closer, I saw that they were all my own children.
Ying Zhixue's siblings, and the three children of the Liu family.
They were all covered in dust and dirt, as if they had been pulled out of the mud.
Little sister Liu, who was about five or six years old, was holding a large bunch of lotus buds.
There are new lotus sprouts in Ying Zhihai's schoolbag.
"You didn't go home after school and went to steal other people's lotus roots. Who taught you to do this?" Ying Zhilin put Wen Yan down and looked at them with a fierce face.
Ying Zhixue and her brother shrank their necks, stared at their toes and didn't dare to say a word.
"Put your schoolbags on, go home, wash them and get punished." The kids were scared like quails. They put on their schoolbags and lined up to go home.
When Wen Yan and the others returned home, Brother Chen Qi was already waiting at the gate, holding Grandma Wu with his left hand and Grandma with his right hand.
A few mud monkeys were pulled by their ears by Brother Chen Qi and taken to the yard to wash the mud off their bodies.
A few naughty mud monkeys fell into Brother Chen Qi's hands. They were like a cat slave having its neck pinched or a snake having its vital points pinched. They didn't resist at all.
Wen Yan pulled Ying Zhilin and walked over quickly: "Fifth Grandma, Grandma."
Grandmother took Ying Zhilin's hand and looked at him lovingly: "Good boy, you have lived up to your grandfather's expectations of you, and you have not let down your father and mother's teachings to you."
The fifth grandmother took Wen Yan's hand, stroked it gently, and asked her: "Are you eating well and living well in the capital? I feel your hand and you have lost weight, haven't you?"
Wen Yanhui held her hand and said, "We are all fine. How about you? Are you all doing well at home?"
“We’re fine.
"Eating well, wearing warm clothes, and having children to chat with every day—a life I never dared to imagine before." Fifth Grandma sighed with deep emotion, "A life like this—I never dared to dream of it before. It's a pity that your Fifth Grandpa passed away early and didn't get to enjoy it."
They exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Brother Liu Si arrived in a carriage.
The villagers followed the carriage to join in the fun.
Wen Yan gathered everyone together, unloaded candies and snacks from the carriage, and distributed a handful to everyone. "It's late today, how about coming over tomorrow for tea and chat?"
It's indeed time for dinner, and it would be impolite to stay any longer.
The villagers said goodbye and said they would come again tomorrow.
Wen Yan and the others also returned to the East Courtyard.
Wen Yan realized something was wrong the moment he entered the yard: "Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother..."
She called out twice, and Brother Chen Qi came over on crutches: "What are you calling? You're asking your brother to do something right after you get back?"
"Seventh Brother, why don't you live in this courtyard anymore?" Wen Yan asked, "Where did you and Xiao Hai Zhixue move to?"
"I built a row of back houses at the back. We moved to the back houses with a few children." Brother Chen Qi said.
"The back house has poor lighting..."
“I built the yard to be spacious without affecting the lighting.
The back room is quiet, which makes it convenient for me to watch them study.
By the way, you should find some time to hire a nanny to teach the two girls some etiquette.
"Okay, this East Cross Courtyard will belong exclusively to you two from now on. You can do whatever you want with it." Brother Chen Qi waved his hand and walked away on his crutches.
He now finds joy in teaching children and doesn't want to spend much time with Wen Yan.
Wen Yan looked at Ying Zhilin and pointed at herself: "Ying Zhilin, can you help me sort it out? Did Seventh Brother dislike me just now?"
Ying Zhilin suppressed his laughter and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, you are disliked."
Wen Yan: "...The sky is falling!"
Wen Yan and the others came back after dinner. After chatting with everyone for a while, they washed up and rested.
After Wen Yan lay down, he couldn't fall asleep for a while.
She tossed and turned in bed for a long time when there was a knock on the door.
Wen Yan got up to open the door, and saw Ying Zhilin standing outside with a quilt in his arms.
"What's wrong?" Wen Yan asked.
My grandmother moved to the main courtyard to live with my fifth grandmother, and Ying Zhilin moved back to his original room.
"I can't sleep. Can I squeeze in with you tonight?" Ying Zhilin asked.
Wen Yan scratched his head and opened the door.
Ying Zhilin immediately strode into the room and lay down on the side where he usually slept.
Wen Yan turned off the lights and went to bed. After lying down, he suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep quickly.
On a big tree not far from the house, a figure took out a pen and paper from his arms, wrote something in the dark, and then stopped moving.
No words were spoken that night.
Wen Yan slept until she woke up naturally.
She stretched comfortably and her knee rubbed against something hard.
A muffled groan came from Ying Zhilin above his head.
Wen Yan then realized that she was actually resting her head on his chest.
There was also an expression of forbearance on his face.
Wen Yan knew what trouble she had gotten into, so she covered her face with the quilt, leaving only her eyes exposed, and backed away.
Ying Zhilin grabbed the quilt and said in a hoarse voice: "This is my quilt!"
Wen Yan: “…” This is too embarrassing.
Right at this moment.
There was a knock on the window.
Pei'er stood outside the window: "Miss, son-in-law, are you awake? The county magistrate and the county magistrate are here."
Wen Yan released his hand and jumped out of bed. "Hurry up and get up. There are guests coming. I need to meet the clan leader to discuss the banquet."
Ying Zhilin looked at her helplessly and resentfully, then threw off the quilt and got out of bed, going back to his room to change clothes and wash up.
Wen Yan patted his chest and let out a long breath.
Fortunately, Pearl arrived in time, otherwise she would have been embarrassed to death.
