Chapter 487 Zhizhi, can I take you to pick them up?
Sang Zhixia was feeling a little uneasy at first, but after hearing this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Aunt San is right. I am the one who is worrying about nothing."
Aunt Xu was worried that Sang Zhixia would be upset by her thoughts, so she picked out a small piece of cloth from the embroidery basket and said jokingly, "Don't you have two tiger cubs in the north yard? I have some free time today, so why not make them a red bellyband?"
Sang Zhixia imagined the tiger cub with the flower on his forehead wearing a red bellyband and couldn't help laughing: "Is this even possible?"
"Why not?"
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "If he grows up, it will be a waste of cloth. Now is the perfect time to make it while he's still young."
"Just tell me what you want, and I'll cut it for you right now, and I guarantee you'll have it ready to wear before dinner."
Aunt Xu picked up the scissors seriously, and Sang Zhixia was so happy that she didn't care about anything else.
Just when I was thinking about how to cut it, Xu Mingyang, who was drunk yesterday, staggered over, rubbing his eyes that he couldn't open no matter how hard he tried. If you listened carefully, you could tell from his tone that he felt a little aggrieved.
The two people who were cutting the red bellyband turned their heads at the same time, and seeing that the little guy had a hungover look on his face, they couldn't help laughing.
"Are you sober?"
Sang Zhixia tried her best to suppress the upward curve of her lips and teased, "They say that people who get drunk should drink something lighter to sober up, otherwise they'll probably get a headache."
"Mingyang, shall I go get two more jars from Uncle San and bring them over for you, along with two plates of snacks to go with the wine?"
Xu Mingyang felt good for a while when he got drunk secretly, but after he sobered up, the skin all over his body was clamoring and even his hair was tangled and howling in pain.
After hearing what Sang Zhixia said, he immediately said without thinking: "No more drinking, no more drinking. I will never drink secretly again!"
"Sister-in-law, I really know I was wrong!"
"I don't know how long your admission of guilt will last."
Third Aunt Xu glared at the guilty-looking Xu Mingyang with a sullen look. She had decided to wait for Second Aunt Xu to come back and complain. She said slowly, "Now that you're sober, why are you here instead of rolling around in the mud?"
"Your sister-in-law doesn't have time to watch you fight. If you're hungry, there's food on the stove. Go get it yourself."
Xu Mingyang was thick-skinned and not afraid of being ridiculed. He smiled after being scolded, and walked a few steps to Sang Zhixia. He looked up at Sang Zhixia pitifully, and his big black and white eyes were filled with silent pleading.
"Sister-in-law, please plead for me."
“The child is so miserable!”
Yesterday, when no one was paying attention, Xu Mingyang took the opportunity to take a group of young boys who had not even grown their hair yet, and got them drunk.
But what happened yesterday will not prevent us from being punished today.
Xu Minghui went out before dawn and left a note on Xu Mingyang's bedside before leaving.
Absolutely terrible news.
Sang Zhixia took it from Xu Mingyang's trembling hands and took a look at it, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Very good, copy a book ten times.
According to Xu Mingyang's fastest hand speed, Xu Minghui's move seemed light, but in fact it was equivalent to drawing a circle under Xu Mingyang's feet, and the time limit was at least three months.
Aunt Xu took a look and laughed strangely.
Sang Zhixia stroked the note with an embarrassed look on her face: "Isn't this bad?"
"After all..."
“Ouch!”
Xu Mingyang's roar interrupted Sang Zhixia's thoughts. He squatted on the ground with his arms around her legs, crying, "Sister-in-law, if you don't save me, I won't be able to live..."
"That's ten times! Ten times!"
Xu Mingyang raised his trembling hands in pain and cried out in despair. Before he could even wail, a huge hand came down from the sky and forcibly held down his head.
"Hmm? I..."
"Shut up."
"I can hear you howling just by passing by the door."
Xu Yu cruelly cut off Xu Mingyang's screams, grabbed the back of his neck with one hand, and threw Xu Mingyang, who was still crying, to Xue Liu behind him like a chick.
Xu Mingyang was about to protest with anger in his eyes, but he saw Xu Yu whispering something in Sang Zhixia's ear. Sang Zhixia lost his grip on the material and it fell lightly to the ground.
Aunt Xu was startled for a moment, then quickly stood up and said, "Then why are you still standing there?"
"Go and fetch them quickly!"
"Hey, where is that person? If he's at the door, go meet him!"
Aunt Xu was so anxious that she was a little flustered. Sang Zhixia was distracted for a moment and subconsciously grabbed Xu Yu's hand. There was a trace of tension in her voice: "Is everything really safe?"
"They...they all..."
"They're all here."
Xu Yu held Sang Zhixia's trembling hand and chuckled softly, "They're already heading towards the county town. They'll be home before dinner tonight at the latest."
"Zhizhi, I'll take you to pick them up, okay?"
If it was according to Aunt Xu's opinion, it would be best for Sang Zhixia to wait at home.
But Xu Yu knew what was on her mind, and guessed that she would be restless once she got the news, so he simply rushed back to pick her up in person.
The carriage in front of the door was quickly harnessed. Xu Wenxiu, who heard the news, hurriedly put several more layers of cushions in the carriage and repeatedly reminded him to be careful on the road. Only after he was sure that everything was correct did he agree to let it go.
The carriage rolled forward. Xu Mingyang, completely unaware of what was happening, curiously poked his head out: "Aunt, Third Aunt, who are you going to pick up, brother and sister-in-law?"
"Is he an important person?"
Xu Wenxiu really wanted to glare at him to let him know that what happened yesterday was still not over, but when she thought about the people who were about to arrive safely, she couldn't help laughing.
"Of course he is a very important person."
"Your eldest sister-in-law's mother and brother are here! How can that not be a big deal?"
Xu Yu acted quickly in secret.
First, the youngest son of the Sang family went out to study, and then Aunt Xie asked to go to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings because of her fate. At the same time, the mother and son encountered bandits, and a fire covered up all possible traces.
The mother and son traveled all the way here from the outskirts of Kyoto, without a moment's rest along the way. They traveled day and night and finally arrived in the northwest before the New Year.
How can anyone not be happy about such a good thing?
Xu Wenxiu happily went to clean the house.
Aunt Xu thought for a moment, held Xu Mingyang in place, and whispered, "Go to Grandpa Hu now and call your sister Yanran back. Then go and bring Mingxu and Jinxi back together. Tell them that we have distinguished guests coming to our house, and no one is allowed to be absent."
"I'm going to find your third uncle, got it?"
Xu Mingyang was so happy that he didn't have to copy the book, so he ran away happily.
Aunt Xu San hurried to find Uncle Xu San in the winery. After the couple discussed it, they quickly sent someone to the county town to pass on the message to Aunt Xu Er.
Sang Zhixia's biological mother and brother are here, and both the Xu family and they should treat them with caution and not be impolite.
Xu Minghui, who was on the farm, heard Xu Mingyang's screams and yells, and his eyes flickered slightly: "Brother and sister-in-law have gone to pick him up?"
Xu Mingyang held his head high and parroted, "Big brother said we'll be there before dinner at the latest."
Before dinner...
Xu Minghui raised his hand to wipe the mud from his palm on Xu Mingyang's wrinkled clothes. Under Xu Mingyang's angry glare, he said lightly, "Go home and wash your monkey face clean. Don't embarrass yourself."
"I'm going to the workshop to look for something, and then I'll be back to check."
As soon as the word "inspect" was uttered, Xu Mingyang nodded obediently and said "OK", then turned around and ran towards home again.
Everyone in the Xu family started to get busy at the same time, sweeping the dust and wiping the windows, waiting for someone to arrive.
At the same time, Sang Zhixia, who had arrived at the county town, also fell into inexplicable anxiety as he looked at the city gate.
It’s already this late, why hasn’t anyone arrived yet?
