Mrs. Wu’s family is on the north side of Ji’s house, separated from Ji’s by a vegetable garden. It was the old house of Wu’s family. The real situation of the old house, couldn't stand the comments and stares of the villagers, so he moved back to the old house with his wife. It was not until the year before last that he finally saved enough money to push the old house and build a new one, although it was not as good as Ji's old house. It's grand, but it's not bad in the village.

Ji Chunshan pulled the carriage out from the back door, while Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu were already dressed and waiting at the front door. When Ji Chunshan arrived at the front door, Boss Wu drove the ox cart to the door of Ji's house, and Wu Laoshuan followed the ox cart. next to the car.

As soon as he saw Ji Chunshan, he said in shame: "Nephew, I'm really sorry, my mother-in-law called her family to come and take away everything in your family without telling me, if it wasn't for my boss a few days ago Accompanying her back to her mother's house and saw it, I didn't know at all, alas, this prodigal woman, for doing such a thing, I will be ashamed to see you today."

Wu Laoshuan shrugged his shoulders, his face was full of sighs and sighs, and his eldest son, Wu Boss, also lowered his head, looking ashamed and embarrassing.

After buying the house for 15 taels to Ji Chunshan that day, it would be a lie to say that Wu Laoshuan has no regrets at all. After all, it is 15 taels. When the elder son found out about this, he came to the house on his own initiative, and when he said that he would take the old couple home, he immediately lost any regrets in his heart, and happily packed up his things and moved into the elder son's house. It's not as spacious and bright as Ji's old house, but he lives in a more secure place than ever before.

Later, the eldest son was going to send the key to Ji Chunshan, but his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, said that she had left something behind and wanted to get it. At this time, he asked his natal brother to take away all the guys in Ji's old house, and he has been busy with the second son's marriage in the town since then, without noticing it until a few days ago, the eldest son drove his wife I went to Zhou's house to send wedding invitations, but only found out about it when I saw the furniture that was originally placed in the old house at Zhou's house.

His daughter-in-law did such a thing, although Ji Chunshan didn't find his family because of it, and thought he didn't care about it, but he still felt ashamed to face others, even though Ji Chunshan was harvesting vegetables in the village later, he didn't let his family go. But when the day came when they agreed to go to the county to spend the red deed, they still had to meet, but they couldn't avoid it no matter what.

When Ji Chunshan heard what Wu Laoshuan said, there was no surprise on his face. When he found out that the furniture in the old house was gone, he guessed that Wu Laoshuan's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, probably did it. I gave up both of them. If I can't let go of those furniture, I just say it when I rewrite the contract. I don't want to go back and forth for a few worthless rags. And Mr. Wu doesn't even want to live in the old house. Don't even care about a few pieces of furniture.

Ji Chunshan knew this earlier, and he didn't care about it at the beginning, and now he won't care about it with Wu Laoshuan. Seeing that Wu Laoshuan and Wu Boss looked like they couldn't lift up, he even comforted them a few words, but just looked at it but couldn't help it. It didn't seem to have much effect.

Not long after, Feng Deli also came out of the house. He is a middle-aged man and the village head, and he is most familiar with the county government, so he naturally wants to go with him.Because Ji Chunshan's carriage carried Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu, he took the Wu family's ox cart.

It was about an hour's journey from Anping Village to Fangcheng County. They left the village in the middle of the morning, so it was not too late.Since the Wu family had to rush back to the village, they didn't delay much. Under Feng Deli's guidance, they went straight to the Fangcheng County Government Office, and then Feng Deli led them to the household house in the County Government Office with ease, and found the rightful person. history.

Part of the tax is charged for the red deed. Ji Chunshan and the others belong to the sale of land and houses, and they have to pay tax at the rate of one tael and three cents, and 15 taels is four cents and five cents. This should be borne by the buyer, Ji Chunshan. , but Wu Laoshuan still couldn't let go of Zhou's stealing the furniture from the old house, so he handed over the money before Ji Chunshan.

Ji Chunshan was not wary of Wu Laoshuan's sudden move, and wanted to return the money to him, but Wu Laoshuan refused to accept it anyway. Seeing that he insisted, Ji Chunshan didn't force him, and just let him spend some money to buy it. Peace of mind is.

Coming out of the county government office, the Wu family father and son took Feng Deli to go back, and Ji Chunshan wanted to take Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu for a stroll in the county town, and buy some new year's goods by the way, fearing that they would not be able to go back until the afternoon, so they couldn't go the same way, so they went with them They say goodbye.

It was very sunny today, and it was fast forwarding to noon. It was the warmest and most sunny time of the day. Ye Qinglan hugged Ji Ningxu and sat in the front of the car. Ji Chunshan drove the car slowly, walking on the spacious and tidy brick road in the county.

Although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, there are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year, so the shops are still open, and this is the time of the year when every household is most willing to spend money, so the street But it was a bit more lively than in the past, all kinds of men carrying baskets, carrying burdens, or pushing wheelbarrows, brought their wives and children out to buy things for the New Year.

When people who knew each other met, they also smiled and bowed their hands, saying Happy Chinese New Year, but there was already a strong Chinese New Year atmosphere.

When Ye's father was still there, he would occasionally bring Ye Qinglan to the county town to meet friends, so Ye Qinglan was more familiar with the county town than Ji Chunshan, so he introduced it to Ji Chunshan, which street it was, which shops were there on the street, and where It's just that he hasn't been here for a long time, and some of them don't match the ones he remembers.

Fangcheng County is very large, although Ji Chunshan only followed Ye Qinglan's guidance to the lively market, but he couldn't finish shopping before noon.Breakfast was early, although the carriage brought snacks, but they could not be eaten as a meal, so Ji Chunshan found a small shop that was said to be good at making hoofs under Ye Qinglan's suggestion, and bought two ready-made hoofs With a few side dishes, it was packed and taken away, ready to go to Aunt Wu's son-in-law Xie Yuan's house.

Just as Ji Chunshan had predicted, Aunt Wu was unable to return to Anping Village after arriving at her son-in-law's house.In the past, Aunt Wu took care of and helped Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu so much. Ji Chunshan was grateful and regarded her as an elder. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, he should come to visit him, but he didn't go to the county government office to pass the contract. He also planned to find some free time to come.

Ji Chunshan could ask for the address of Xie Yuan's house on the day Xie Yuan came to pick up Aunt Wu, but perhaps it was a remote place, but it was a place that Ye Qinglan didn't recognize, so Ji Chunshan could only get out of the carriage to find someone to ask, and asked two or three passers-by. Leading the carriage and turning east and west, he finally reached the alley where Xie Yuan's house was located.

Just as Ji Chunshan was carrying the New Year gifts from the carriage, he didn't hear Ye Qinglan knock on the door. He looked up and saw Ye Qinglan looking at a young woman approaching slowly with a basket on the other side of the alley. .The woman was very unfamiliar, Ji Chunshan didn't have any impression, so she probably didn't know her.

Ye Qinglan just stood so straight and stared at people without the slightest shyness, the woman would not have been unaware of it, she looked up, and couldn't help frowning slightly, only after seeing the red lines on Ye Qinglan's eyebrows did she feel relieved. After a while, he smiled and nodded at Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan looked away from the woman's head, nodded slightly, and then looked away.

Ji Chunshan saw that the woman finally pushed open the door next door to Xie Yuan's house and walked in.

Walking to Ye Qinglan, Ji Chunshan asked in a low voice, "Do you know that woman?"

Ye Qinglan seemed to be in a daze, she only looked at Ji Chunshan when she heard Ji Chunshan's voice, but she shook her head and said softly: "I don't know that person, but the magnolia hairpin on her head was my mother's favorite jewelry during her lifetime."

Ji Chunshan was surprised, and heard Ye Qinglan continue: "My mother doesn't like gold, silver, pearls and emeralds, but she only loves magnolias. When magnolias are in full bloom, she decorates them with hairpins. It's just that magnolias always have flowers. On the day when it withered, my father found a good piece of jade, drew it himself, asked a jade craftsman to carve a magnolia hairpin, and gave it to my mother on her birthday. But 360 days a year, every day with her favorite magnolia flower..."

"Qinglan..." Ye Qinglan said this very lightly, even with a slight smile on his face, but seeing him like this, Ji Chunshan felt even more distressed, and couldn't help but stepped forward to gently hug his shoulders, thinking Say something, but feel that all words of comfort at this time seem so pale and weak.

"Master, why do I hear voices outside the house, go and see if there is anyone there?" A woman's voice suddenly came from the courtyard, followed by a man's loud answer.

As the footsteps approached quickly, the door of Xie Yuan's house opened, and the person who opened the door was Xie Yuan. He was surprised to see Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan father and son standing outside his door, "Brother Ji , Brother Ye, why are you here?"

After hearing the woman's words just now, Ye Qinglan gently pushed Ji Chunshan away, and went to pick up the basket containing hoofs and some side dishes, and Ji Chunshan went to the carriage to pick up the New Year's gift, and waited for the door of Xie's house to open. Seeing that it was Xie Yuan, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Xie, happy new year."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Brother Ji, Brother Ye, please come in." Xie Yuan hurriedly smiled, and while letting the door open to invite Ji Chunshan and others to enter, he shouted into the room: "Mother, daughter-in-law, it is Brother Ji and the others." Brother Ye and Xuer are here."

After Xie Yuan finished yelling, Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan entered the door, and saw Aunt Wu appearing at the door of a side room next to her, with a look of disbelief on her face, she looked over in a daze.

"Auntie, we're here to see you." Ye Qinglan smiled at her and let go of Ji Ningxu's hand. Ji Ningxu immediately ran towards Aunt Wu and shouted happily: "Grandma Wu , Xu'er misses you so much."

"Hey, good Xuer, grandma is so sweet, and grandma misses you the most." Aunt Wu didn't believe what her son-in-law said at first in the kitchen, but when she really saw Ye Qinglan, she threw Ji Ningxu who rushed over I hugged her, and suddenly tears of surprise flowed out.

"Grandma doesn't cry." Ji Ningxu stretched out his little hand to wipe Aunt Wu's tears.

"Qinglan, is it really you?" Wu Yun, who was more than four months pregnant and somewhat pregnant, also came out of the kitchen. She had only been married for more than a year, so she knew Ye Qinglan, and the relationship between the two was pretty good. But Ye Qinglan's current appearance made her dare not recognize her for a while.

"Why, have you forgotten me since we haven't seen each other for a few months?" Ye Qinglan raised her eyebrows, looking a little dissatisfied, but anyone could see the smile in her eyes.

"How come? I forgot and no one can forget you." Wu Yun smiled immediately, and then stepped forward and took Ye Qinglan's arm affectionately.

Ji Chunshan originally stood aside and asked Xie Yuan what kind of family lived next door to his house. When he saw this scene from the corner of his eye, he immediately turned his head to look at it. Xie Yuan also made the same movement as him almost at the same time.
