Chapter 432: He was picked up by his sister-in-law, like a toad with four legs.
Upon hearing the introduction, the handsome man who must have been a scholar hurriedly stepped forward to salute. He looked to be in his twenties at most: "Old ladies, you have had a hard journey. Mr. Li is very busy with business, so he specially asked Xiaguan and Mr. Chen to come over. He said that he would like to invite the old ladies to come over and have a simple meal after they have settled in."
"How to do this?"
Even though he was Chu Chu's uncle, Grandma Yan was still a little timid. After all, she was still an unfamiliar person.
Grandma Zhou quickly reminded her in a low voice: "We are all family members. We are kindly inviting you and you should accept it."
Chu Chu came over from her uncle at some point and took her grandma's hand: "Can I see my uncle tonight?"
His tone was joyful, and his eyes were looking forward to it.
When Hongyi saw Chu Chu, he quickly smiled and saluted, and replied, "Is this Miss Chu Chu? Your Excellency, Madam and Young Lady are all waiting for you at home."
"Do you still have a sister?"
Chu Chu was a little surprised. She heard her grandma and mother talk about her uncle not too much. She thought there were only two cousins in the capital, but she didn't expect there was a cousin.
"It should be my sister!"
Hongyi looked at Chu Chu's figure and answered affirmatively.
"That's great, Chu Chu can play with her sister."
Because the two cousins were much older than her and her brother, they only occasionally had meals together and were not very close. Chu Chu naturally thought that her uncle's sister was her sister. In fact, she preferred to be her sister.
"Mrs. Li and Miss Li specially arranged a residence for Miss Chu Chu and the old lady in the backyard of the county mansion."
When Hong Yi said this, he paused, looked at the others, and then said, "Master Chen has made arrangements for the others."
After saying this, Grandma Yan couldn't make up her mind. After all, Fu Bao was a close nephew of the Li family, and her uncle definitely wanted to live with his nephew. She left the decision to Fu Bao.
In fact, when she was at home, she also thought that such a situation might occur, but this time she came here just to see her daughter and son-in-law, and she did not plan to live in the county mansion.
"Little uncle, do we live far away?" Chu Chu wanted to see her uncle, but she still felt that she and her grandma were the same family, so she still wanted to be with her. She also missed her little aunt.
"Not far away, Mr. Li lives in the county government office, and our other foreign officials also live in an alley next to the government office. Just around the corner when you go out, you will find the gate."
Listening to her sister-in-law made Chu Chu feel much more at ease.
"That's no need. Chu Chu will still live with her grandma and aunt. I will go in and play with my sister during the day."
Hong Yi probably didn't expect Chu Chu to answer like this, but he couldn't be the master of it, so he replied: "I'm afraid the Lord and Madam will be disappointed."
Zimo patted Hong Yi on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter, let's settle it first, and let the lady talk to the adults during the meal."
Hong Yi also felt that this was the only option: "Then there's no need to queue up. Follow us to get settled first. If it's too late, adults might have to come out to pick her up in person."
The county is quite a large city, but the houses still look very quaint. Even on the main street, not all of them are blue brick houses. There are also a few mud brick houses, which are much shorter than those in the capital.
However, the terrain itself is flat and the bluestone road is very straight. It looks like it has been there for some years.
After walking into the city for two cups of tea, we arrived at the county governor's office.
Sure enough, the house where my sister-in-law lived was right next to the government office. In fact, the alley was built close to the government office wall, with only a wall separating it. It was built specifically to house government officials.
Hong Yi took his leave and went back to resume his duties, and the cart of things he brought to Mr. Li also followed him.
I walked up to ten more feet and then turned a corner. It was said that the alley was also three or four feet wide, and there was room for two carriages side by side. I walked in for about twenty feet and passed four or five houses. Chen Jichang and Chen Jiancai He turned over and dismounted, and the convoy stopped.
Perhaps hearing the sound of carriages and horses, someone walked out from the door of the house where they dismounted. The man running at the front greeted him from a distance: "Old lady, young lady, brother Zimo, you are here."
Judging from the excitement, he knew he was from his own family. Zimo also recognized him as the former Qingshan Villa, now named Chen Yi. When he came up, he pulled Zimo sideways and stood aside, and said to them: "Follow me. The male guest lives in the house opposite, so he has to move all the things he needs down, and when the horses and horses are waiting, they have to drive to the government office, and there is no stable here."
Who came out next if it wasn't Yan Qinghua and Yun Niang? It's just that Yan Qinghua didn't dare to walk quickly even though he was being supported, but he could see the excitement on his face.
Before the maid and mother-in-law could put down the horse stool, Hongying and Chuchu jumped down supported by August and Qiuli.
When Chu Chu saw Yan Qinghua, she rushed towards him: "Little aunt, Fu Bao sees you coming."
Unexpectedly, before her body was attached, she was lifted up by her uncle. Chu Chu screamed angrily and struggled with her hands and feet: "Sister-in-law, you are evil."
Chen Jichang smiled heartily when he saw her like that, and even Hongying and the others laughed out loud. Chu Chu looked like that four-legged toad.
My brother-in-law is so bad. He was never like this before. After being put down, Chu Chu was still so angry that she jumped up and down.
"You kid, only my uncle is quick. Otherwise, what would you do if you hit the baby in my aunt's belly!"
As soon as he was put down, his little butt was slapped by Grandma Yan. Chu Chu was a little dissatisfied: "Fu Bao is watching, so he can't hit his little brother."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Chen's originally unhappy face straightened out. This "little brother" really worked.
She directly stepped forward and took Yan Qinghua's hand: "Follow this boy from a bitter cold place, thank you for your hard work, Qinghua."
Chu Chu's butt was patted again by her grandma, but this time it was dust. Grandma Yan's voice was also cheerful: "You are the only one who is naughty."
Everyone heard that little brother's voice, and Grandma Yan was naturally happy.
Chu Chu quickly went to cling to Yan Qinghua. It had been so long since she last saw him, so she almost didn't even kiss him.
However, Hongying couldn't get in the conversation and directly asked Yun Niang, who was standing next to her with a silly smile on her face: "Yun Niang, which room are we staying in? Come on, Chu Chu and I will live together."
"It depends on what the two old ladies want."
Hearing Yun Niang's words, she seemed to be undecided. Grandma Yan was a little surprised: "Didn't you say that everything has been settled? What do we mean? It's fine as long as we have a place to live. We are not poor and particular."
Chen Jichang said sheepishly: "We will be assigned to this room with two entrances. If we all live together, I'm afraid it will be a bit crowded. Knowing that there are many people in our group, Mr. Li also let us go to the other empty room next to it. It’s settled, the male guest opposite is renting this room.”
"Then, my mother-in-law must live with you. I live next door to Chu Chu, so it's not far away anyway." Grandma Yan decided directly. After all, when you get married, you belong to someone else's family. There is no way that your mother-in-law will live in another room instead.
If she didn't understand this, she would have lived in the village for so many years.
"How about that? Tsinghua University also needs you to take care of it now."
