Chapter 602: Leisurely Days, What a Wonderful Life
"I received the news that you would return home tonight. I've been waiting, and sure enough, you're back! Great! Welcome Princess Fu'an, welcome Prince Xiaoxiang..."
As he said this, the village head was about to take the lead and lead the villagers to kneel down and kowtow.
Jiang Lianzhu, Dabao and others quickly got off the carriage and helped the village head uncle up.
"Uncle, there's absolutely no need for such a grand ceremony..."
"Grandpa, the village head, just call us by our old nicknames. My mother always called us by our nicknames."
Nanbao also fluttered down and giggled, "Grandpa Lizheng, long time no see! Your beard has grown longer!"
Erbao high-fived some of his playmates in the village, just as usual, without any formalities.
Although those boys had been told again and again by their parents at home that they should bow when they saw Dabao and Erbao because they thought they were princes, they were still as excited as before to see their old friend. It was still their familiar brother Erbao, the brother who went hiking and fishing just like them!
In the crowd, Erya and her family were squeezed at the front.
After Erya and the others had spoken to Jiang Lianzhu, she quickly ran over, "Aunt Jiang... Erya, greetings to Princess Fu'an!!"
There were also familiar people like Granny Lu who came over and spoke timidly.
Jiang Lianzhu and the others' attitude remained the same as before, without any airs, which made everyone feel relieved.
The villagers gathered around the periphery and talked quietly.
"This Jiang is truly blessed. I've always felt she's different. How could someone be so magnanimous? She's doing such a great job being someone's stepmother. It turns out she's not destined to be an ordinary person. See! This blessing always pays off!"
"Not only did she raise a prince and a princess, she herself is a princess. Even after becoming rich, she is still so kind. She is truly a person of great cultivation."
"We racked our brains, but who could have imagined this day would come? In the past, there were blind people in our village who bullied these orphans and widows. I wonder if they feel guilty now..."
"That's right. The one who's feeling the most destitute is probably Old Wang's family! Haha, those two old, old men, Old Man Wang and Old Lady Wang Liu, they probably can't even sleep well..."
…
The three snow wolves returned to their hometown and became even more happy. They led the way and went home in a flash.
When the village head uncle escorted Jiang Lianzhu and the others to their home, the three snow wolves climbed over the wall and jumped into the yard without anyone opening the door, which made everyone else laugh.
This impatience shows that you have feelings for this place.
The pets raised by the owner are like this, which proves that Jiang Lianzhu and others also attach great importance to Wangjia Village.
The village head and the others were very pleased.
The villagers followed behind, with torches lit and firecrackers set off late at night. Jiang Lianzhu and her family's house was surrounded by red lanterns and wedding characters, and they were full of joy.
Jiang Lianzhu and her group's guards did not follow them into the village.
They camped just outside the village.
Hundreds of people entered the village, and they were afraid of affecting the lives of the villagers, so they camped outside the village, which was more convenient. Anyway, it was not far away. If Jiang Lianzhu and her friends shouted loudly in their house, they would be heard by those stationed outside the village.
It was getting late, and the village head and his men did not disturb Jiang Lianzhu and the others from resting. They all understood how tired they felt from the long journey.
There is nothing more to say, just let Jiang Lianzhu and the others have a good night's rest.
The village head and his men sent some food to Jiang Lianzhu and the others, and also sent food, drinks, daily necessities, etc. to the guards stationed outside the village.
He worked enthusiastically until late at night.
He was still too excited to sleep, and the next day, he woke up early at the crowing of the cock, and asked his sons, daughters-in-law, and other wives to get up early, light the fire, cook steamed bread, and make porridge, and deliver breakfast to the guards outside the village...
Now is the season for autumn pear paste. Those who should have gotten up early to pick wild pears in the mountains have to take a break for a day and give priority to entertaining guests.
After waiting for a long time until dawn, the village head had smoked several pouches of his pipe. He guessed that Jiang Lianzhu and the others had gotten up, so he put his hands behind his back and went to Jiang's house.
No, it should be the princess's home...
Jiang Lianzhu had a comfortable sleep at home. She was too tired from traveling in a carriage all the way.
Erya's family still lived in a room in the front yard, while Jiang Lianzhu and her family lived in the back yard. The rooms were cleaned spotlessly, and the beddings were dried in the sun, smelling fragrant and refreshing. They slept soundly until dawn.
The three children rarely got enough sleep, so they got up early and practiced boxing in the yard.
Just like when I lived in the countryside.
Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu slept in and didn't keep up with their children's boxing practice.
The couple went out to wash up.
I don’t know when the osmanthus tree planted in the yard grew up. Now it is autumn, the tree is in bloom and the whole yard is filled with fragrance.
Jiang Lianzhu took a deep breath from the bottom of her heart. It was so nice to have the whole family together and have some leisure time.
Wangjia Village is a good place, it will bring her good luck.
Liao Jiu was obviously reminiscing as he pointed at the pillars above his head and said with emotion, "Wife, look, I erected this pillar myself. The carvings on it were all carved by me. Although they are a bit rough, if you look closely, you can see that there is some structure to them!"
When the house was first being built, Liao Jiu worked like a slave and did his job very diligently.
Jiang Lianzhu found it funny when she thought about it.
"Did you carve it? Isn't it Wang Laowu?"
Liao Jiu said seriously, "Of course it's me, I'm Wang Laowu!"
"Shameless."
The two were chatting and laughing when the village head was waiting outside.
Erya and the others had already prepared breakfast in the front yard.
I went out to have breakfast with the village head uncle and his friends. The village head uncle was concerned about what happened in the capital, and also lamented that Liao Jiu looked like a bachelor...
"...So many unexpected things happened, it's truly like a legend. I'm glad everything's fine, it's God's protection! Also, Governor Liao, you look exactly like Princess Fu'an's ex-husband, Wang Laowu... Ahem, I broke my promise..."
I always feel uncomfortable when I say the word "ex-husband".
The village head immediately admitted his mistake.
Liao Jiu smiled and said, "It's okay. I heard my wife say that there are indeed people who look alike in this world. It's not surprising, and I don't take it to heart."
Jiang Lianzhu also said, "Uncle, it's okay. In the capital, everyone knows that I'm a second marriage. My first marriage was to Wang Laowu, who ran away. We divorced through the government official seal, so I'm not afraid of what people say. As long as my husband doesn't mind, that's all that's fine."
The old uncle, the village head, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Liao Jiu with a more amiable gaze, as if he were his own junior. "Governor Liao, you are truly great. You have such a broad mind, that you can marry a good woman like Princess Fu'an!"
He also asked Dabao whether they had gotten used to the capital. In short, he had a lot to say.
