Returning on a snowy night

"It's just that I hope it won't snow too much for the time being. I'm afraid it will be difficult for your father and the others to get back."

Sun said immediately, looking at the falling snowflakes in the sky, the expression on her face was similar to Wang Shuanzi's.

"It's okay. Even if the rain is serious, there is a way to come back. Mom and uncle don't worry too much." Yang Ruoqing said.

"It's cold outside, everyone should go back inside and wait."

Just as the three of them were about to turn around, there was suddenly the sound of wheels rolling over on the road outside.

"They're back!"

"I'll go take a look first." Yang Ruoqing turned around and ran out of the yard.

On the road outside, a carriage broke through the night and was speeding this way. The man driving the carriage was wrapped in a heavy cotton coat and wore a thick velvet hat on his head.

The nearby dogs were startled again and began to bark.

Yang Ruoqing forcefully opened the courtyard door to both sides so that the carriage could drive in directly. As a rough person, she rarely pulled words. At this moment, this scene suddenly made a poem pop into her mind:

Chaimen hears the barking of dogs, and returns home on a snowy night.

What a poem! What a poem!

It's a pity that I didn't write it myself, haha...

The carriage entered the yard, and in addition to Yang Huazhong who was driving the carriage, two people got out of the carriage.

Brothers Wang Hongquan and Wang Hongtao.

"Dad, why are you back? Where is Mei'er? Why hasn't she come back?"

Wang Shuanzi's heart dropped when he saw his father getting out of the carriage intact, but when Yang Huamei disappeared, his heart suddenly tightened again.

Wang Hongquan said with a dark face: "Don't mention it, it will make me mad to death!"

"Ah? What's going on? Who made you so angry? Mei'er? No way!" Wang Shuanzi's mind was filled with questions.

But Wang Hongquan had already entered the main room with his hands behind his back.

Wang Hongtao came over and patted Wang Shuanzi on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's not Mei'er, it's Dabai. Meier will stay in Dabai's shop and come back in two days."

"What's wrong with Dabai?" Wang Shuanzi was even more confused.

I obviously went to deliver something to Xiao Hei, but the person who delivered it didn't come back. I was so worried that he finally came back in the middle of the night, and it turned out that Dabai was involved again... I really have a lot of trouble to worry about!

"It's very windy outside. Let's go inside first and then we'll talk later!"

Wang Hongtao said again and helped Wang Shuanzi into the main room.

Here, Yang Ruoqing had already taken over Yang Huazhong's reins and went to the backyard to place the horses.

After traveling for such a long time, although the people are working hard, the horses are the most tiring.

So when people get home, they can go into the main room to drink hot tea and warm themselves by the fire, but the horses can't ignore it.

Yang Ruoqing led the horse to the stable in the backyard and fed it fodder and water. After a while, Yang Huazhong came too, holding a pile of straw and a windproof board under his arm.

The father and daughter worked together to tidy up the stables so that the horses could have a warm and comfortable place to rest on this snowy night.

"Dad, why did it take you so long to come back? My mother and uncle were so worried that they asked me several times!" Yang Ruoqing asked while working.

Yang Huazhong said: "Forget it, we first went to the place where Xiaohei rented a house, but we found that your aunt and the others were not there at all. They left after delivering the things."

"We thought that in addition to Xiaohei, they would also go to Dabai's place in town, so we went to Dabai's shop to try our luck, and it was indeed there!"

"That's it." Yang Ruoqing nodded.

"Then why doesn't my aunt come back with you?" she asked again.

Well……

Regarding this issue, a trace of uneasiness flashed across Yang Huazhong's face in the dark stable.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Yang Ruoqing noticed something was wrong and asked again.

Yang Huazhong coughed and said: "This... I can't say it well. Let's go to the main room and listen to what Dabai said!"

ah?

Yang Ruoqing and the second monk were confused.

What happened that forced Aunt Meier to stay in the town, and why was it difficult for Yang Huazhong to talk about it?

With such questions, Yang Ruoqing followed Yang Huazhong back to the main room.

In the main room, brothers Wang Hongquan and Wang Hongtao were warming up around the charcoal brazier, holding hot tea in their hands.

Mrs. Sun brought a few more bowls of hot noodle soup from the backyard kitchen. When she saw Yang Huazhong coming, Mrs. Sun quickly said, "Come here, daddy, the noodles are ready. Eat them while they are hot to warm yourself up."

Brothers Wang Hongquan and Wang Hongtao didn't say anything because their teeth had been chattering since they meditated next to the charcoal brazier, and they were too cold to speak.

Even though Wang Shuanzi wanted to ask several times, he didn't have the heart to ask, so he held it back, waiting for their hands and feet to get warmer before talking about it.

"Okay, I'll come and eat after I wash my hands. You tell a few of them to eat first." Yang Huazhong said.

Several people gathered around the table and devoured a bowl of hot noodle soup. Wang Hongtao touched his stomach and sighed: "I finally survived. I almost couldn't bear it all the way before!"

Wang Hongquan nodded, he was not much better, it was anger, bizarre anger that only supported him back.

Among the three people, Yang Huazhong was actually the one who suffered the most from the cold wind.

Because no matter whether he was going or returning, he was the one driving the car. He sat outside facing the wind, and his face looked like it had been cut with a knife again and again.

But Yang Huazhong had a strong body and persevered. When he got home, he did not come to warm himself by the fire the first time. Instead, he went to the stables to look after the horses with Yang Ruoqing.

"Dad, are you full? Now can you tell me why Mei'er didn't come back!"

Wang Shuanzi urged again, but none of the noodles in front of him was moved. How could he be in the mood to eat if he didn't find out more about the situation?

Wang Hongquan glanced at Wang Shuanzi and sighed, "Hey, I really don't want to say it. Shuanzi, can you stop asking me so much?"

"father!"

Wang Shuanzi was so anxious that an unnatural flush appeared on his face.

"Okay, okay, I said, I said, hey!"

Wang Hongquan picked up the dry tobacco pole, picked up a piece of charcoal and lit it, took a strong puff and blew out the smoke ring, and then talked about what happened in the town today.

"After Meier and I gave the things to Xiao Hei, we waited for him all morning, took him to have a meal on the street behind the school at noon, and then set off back."

"When we passed by the door of Dabai's shop, Meier didn't want to go in. She blamed me for being nosy. She wanted to say hello to Dabai and ask him if he could go home for the Chinese New Year."

"In the end, Dabai came out and called Mei'er in. Dabai said that it was hard to say whether he could go back for the New Year, but there was something that he needed Mei'er to help him with."

Wang Shuanzi frowned when he heard this: "Why do you need Mei'er's help? Didn't that bastard always despise us for being poor parents, and it's embarrassing for him!"

Wang Hongquan smiled bitterly: "That was before. Now he needs us to clean up his mess, so he naturally thought of us."

"What kind of mess? Did he get into trouble again? What trouble did he get into? Could it be that the food in the shop made him sick?" Wang Shuan asked several questions at once, and his face became paler every time he asked.
