The rise of the poor

Chapter 217 Homecoming
The wind is fixed and the snow is still falling, and the crow crows at dusk.

At this moment, the sun had already set in the west, and Zhu's father also drove the last ox cart back home, eating a delicious dinner cooked by Mrs. Chen.

Not long after, a young man appeared on the road from Kaoshan Town to Xiahe Village. The young man was carrying a big bag, and he was walking on the road, singing and walking, regardless of the falling snow.

"Listen to your mother and don't let her get hurt. Only by growing up quickly can you protect her. Beautiful white hair always sprouts happiness, and the magic of angels is warm and kind."

Zhu Ping'an walked quickly, and couldn't wait to see his mother Chen's surprised expression when she saw him.

Creak, creak.
The creaking sound of stepping on the snow kept ringing all the way.

"Ahead is Mr. Zhu?"

While Zhu Pingan was singing and walking on the snow, a question came from far behind, Zhu Pingan turned around and saw a carriage coming from behind, and soon it stopped firmly beside him. The place.

The driver who drove the car was somewhat familiar. He looked like an uncle, and he seemed to have met him at Rich Man Li's house.

"It's really Mr. Zhu, what a coincidence. I bought it from the back kitchen of Li's family. Mr. Zhu met you when he was borrowing books. I was ordered by the lady to go to the town to buy it in the afternoon. I wasted time. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Zhu , Mr. Zhu just came back, I was really lucky, I was the first to meet Mr. Zhu. Congratulations Mr. Zhu, you have won honor for our town.” The uncle was still chattering, Gululu said a lot of things, and finally It is very enthusiastic to take Zhu Ping'an for a ride.

Being able to ride in a car without being exposed to snow, Zhu Ping'an naturally bowed his hands to express his gratitude, and then got into the carriage.

There were a lot of vegetables and meat purchased by the uncle on the carriage, but there was enough space for Zhu Pingan to sit down inside the carriage, and he could just put it down when he saluted.

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll use it tomorrow. It doesn't take much effort. Besides, I can help people to the end and send the Buddha to the west. Besides, Mr. Zhu is a master of Juren, so I'm lucky."

When we arrived at Shanghe Village, the uncle coachman insisted on sending Zhu Pingan to Xiahe Village with great enthusiasm.

Zhu Ping'an's house was brightly lit at the moment, and two red lanterns were newly hung at the door. In the snowfall, these two red lanterns looked very warm. They should have been hung up recently, and they hadn't hung red lanterns when he left home.

"Mother, just hang the lantern, we light two candles every day."

At the dinner table, Zhu Pingchuan thought about lighting two candles every day, and couldn't help but feel distressed. It's fine to light candles for the lanterns during festivals, and it's not a festival.

Mother Chen was not happy when she heard the words, "What do you know, if you come back at night, you can also see the door of our house, so you don't have to go to the wrong door."

"Why did Brother Xi come back late at night? Didn't he all come back in the morning? Besides, Brother Xi is not a child, so why would he go to the wrong door?"

Zhu Pingchuan retorted in a low voice, but Chen gave him a hard look, and then turned off the fire and dared not speak.

"Is there any movement outside?" While eating, Mrs. Chen suddenly put down her chopsticks and raised her ears to ask.

"Mother, you heard it wrong again, I went out to have a look just now." Zhu Pingchuan said in a low voice.

Before mother Chen could speak, Father Zhu, who was eating quietly, suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked up, and said, "There is movement, it seems that a carriage heard our door."

Zhu's father has been driving the car all the time, so he is more sensitive to the sound of the car, and he can hear the ox cart and the horse cart immediately.

When Mrs. Chen heard the words, she put down her chopsticks and got up and went out. These days, Mrs. Chen always felt that Zhu Ping'an was coming back. Now that Mrs. Zhu heard that there was a carriage parked at the door, Mrs. Chen couldn't wait to go out and see if it was It's not that Zhu Ping'an is back, I would rather make a few more mistakes than let go of a possibility.

Outside the door, Zhu Ping'an took off his luggage from the carriage and cupped his hands to express his gratitude to the coachman of the Li family.I was able to come to the door of the house when the night just fell, thanks to the enthusiasm of the coachman.

When Zhu Ping'an was expressing his gratitude, the door of Zhu's house was pushed open, and his mother, Mrs. Chen, came out from the door. She recognized Zhu Ping'an standing at the door with her buttocks up and her hands in thanks at a glance.

"彘er"

Mother Chen covered her mouth in surprise, and the voice of surprise still came out.

"Hehe, mother, I'm back." Zhu Pingan heard Chen's surprised voice at once, and after cupping his hands to thank, he turned around, scratched his head and looked at Chen with a silly smile.

Originally, I wanted to give my mother a sudden surprise, but I didn't expect my mother to go out so soon.But seeing his mother Chen's surprised appearance, Zhu Ping'an felt that it was worth coming all night.

"You silly boy, why are you traveling at night? It's so unsafe. It would be nice to come tomorrow." After Chen was pleasantly surprised, he pretended to be angry and criticized Zhu Pingan for not traveling overnight.

Zhu Ping'an smiled as usual, and Chen couldn't help but tap Zhu Ping'an's forehead annoyed.

"Who is this?"

It was only later that Mrs. Chen noticed the coachman standing beside her, and she couldn't help asking suspiciously.

"Returning to Madam, I was purchased by the back kitchen of the Li family in Shanghe Village. I was ordered by our lady to go to the town to purchase this afternoon. I wasted time in the town. No, I happened to meet Mr. Zhu when I came back. Mr. Zhu is a Our town has become famous, and he is the youngest Juren master in the history of our county, and I am very proud to have the opportunity to take the Juren master for a ride." The coachman talked a lot, and although his words were confusing, the general meaning was clear. up.

At the Li family in Shanghe Village, these words immediately attracted Mrs. Chen's attention, and then he heard the driver say that he was ordered by Miss Li to go shopping in the afternoon. By chance, he picked up Zhu Pingan who was rushing home on the way.

So, Chen couldn't help thinking of Li Shu again, and felt that this was fate. Zhu Pingan, who might have had to brave the wind and snow until midnight, came back after Tian Tianhei. This has a lot to do with Li Shu. This action saved Zhu Ping'an from trekking in the wind and snow. What a prosperous man.
"Go home, drink hot soup to warm up your body." Chen invited the coachman to his house with enthusiasm.

"That's right, Brother Wang, you're welcome." Zhu Ping'an also extended an invitation to the coachman.

"No ma'am, Mr. Zhu, I have to go back to work." The coachman shook his head and declined the kindness of Mrs. Chen and Zhu Ping'an, and insisted on driving back to Li's house.

"The food is ready at home, and it's not too late to leave after drinking the soup. Thanks to you, my son, for coming, otherwise I would have to suffer on the way." Chen invited again.

"No ma'am, my young lady has set the rules, so I have to go back now. It's a blessing for our family to be able to carry Mr. Zhu. Ma'am, Mr. Zhu, I'm going back now."

The coachman still shook his head, got into the carriage, and took his leave.

Looking at the leaving carriage, Mrs. Chen was even more satisfied with the young lady Li Shu who had left home. The coachman said that Li Shu had already started to run the house. She was beautiful, filial and able to run the house. This was a son who fell from the sky. Daughter-in-law.

A certain idea has become a towering tree in Chen's mind.

Zhu's father and Zhu Pingchuan also came out of the house at this time. Seeing that Mrs. Chen had not returned, and hearing voices outside, they rushed out to find out.

Then I saw Zhu Ping'an.

"I'm back." Zhu's father's voice was calm, but he quickly reached out to take the luggage that Zhu Ping'an was carrying, which made Chen very satisfied.

"Brother, you're back." Zhu Pingchuan's business was much happier.

At this time, Mrs. Chen gave Zhu Pingchuan a light look, "Hmph, who said just now that it's impossible for you to come back at night, and you think I'm paying for the wax?"

"Mother." Zhu Pingchuan elongated his voice.

"Father, brother, I'm back." Zhu Pingan replied with a smile.
