Chapter 415 Happy Events
The return journey was very peaceful. For the first ten days, Mu Tou and his three companions had not been on guard as everyone wanted them to have a good rest.
Su He, Liu Bai, Miaomiao and Tiantian took turns to guard the place, and Liu Niang was also called by Su He to take a rest.
After Mu Tou and the other two had rested enough, everyone divided into groups again to keep watch.
No one would let down their guard just because it was an official ship.
Time passed day by day, and everyone was looking forward to the day of going ashore.
Seeing that Changshui Wharf was just around the corner, Su He and the others excitedly went downstairs and waited for the boat to dock before walking on board.
"Here we are! I see lotus flowers. Quick, set off the firecrackers!"
Wang Fugui was so excited that he turned around and shouted to his clansmen to set off firecrackers.
Su He took out a telescope and looked. Hey, it was her uncle, her cousin, and her fifth uncle. Oh my, why were they setting off firecrackers?
Su He and his group quickly retreated inside, and Wang Fugui was so angry that he hit Wang Bin on the head.
"You little brat, are you afraid that you won't be able to blow up your sister or what? Put it aside. Do you need me to remind you of such a small matter?"
Wang Bin coughed awkwardly twice and said, "I was so happy that I didn't notice it."
So the two groups could only wait until the firecrackers were finished before they could reunite in the choking smoke.
"Lotus, I was worried that you wouldn't come. Congratulations, all three of Mu Tou passed the exam!"
Wang Fugui's eyes were red and tears were falling as he spoke. It had been ten days since the news came out and the whole village was so excited that they couldn't sleep. From then on, Tianyuan Village had reached a new level.
What? All three of them passed?
Su He looked at the three silly guys behind him in disbelief.
What happened? Is there something wrong?
"Uncle, who told you that?"
Wang Fugui was also confused when he saw Su He's expression, "You don't know?"
"I don't know. We left on the third day after the exam. I wanted to see you guys earlier."
Su He never thought that they would win, and was thinking of spending the New Year in Guangyuan before returning to Beijing.
"Yes! There is no mistake. Zhang Xu from the Zhao Mansion came to the tea stall and told us. So did Magistrate Ge. Magistrate Ge also told Binzi. Let's go back to the village. The celebration banquet is ready and we are waiting for you."
After Wang Fugui finished speaking, he turned around and told Wang Bin to ride back and prepare.
"Uncle will drive the carriage to pick you up. Hehua, everyone says that the three of them passed the exam because of you. Don't you know that Yu Wen failed again this time?"
Su Yuwen has taken the exam twice, but still failed.
Su He did not sit in the carriage. She drove side by side with Wang Fugui and chatted with him.
"Xiao Niba is four years old and is really naughty. He has been much better behaved these days. He hid when we came. He was probably afraid that you would spank him. And Dashan, the two of them, were hiding somewhere."
"Chu Chu gave birth to another son, named Xiao Hongshu. On the day Chu Chu was born, we even ate five roasted sweet potatoes."
"And your aunt has been sick from time to time in the past two years, and Yue Ran cured her with the medicine you gave her."
"Lu Yuan just had a son last month, his nickname is Little Apple. Lu Qiao also got married this year."
.............
Su He nodded in response from time to time. Looking at the wrinkles on his uncle's face, he felt a little sad. His uncle was getting old.
"Uncle, how have you been these past two years? Tietou was rather vague in his letter, but I see you look much more haggard."
The uncle laughed, "I just laughed too much, so there are more wrinkles on my face. Don't think too much. The uncle still wants to wait for Yueran to get married."
Su He's eyes suddenly felt sore for some reason, and he turned around and quickly wiped away his tears.
"Yueran has grown a lot taller. I heard that he has good grades."
Wang Fugui was very happy when he mentioned his son.
"He is so sensible, much more sensible than your eldest cousin when he was a child. Don't look at him as he is still young, this family really can't do without him. Now we are all under his control."
Su He was also very happy. "That's good. I brought a lot of books this time. The children in our village can use them. We have established a firm foothold in the capital. Uncle, if any of the children are motivated and pass the examination to become a scholar, they can go directly to the capital to study. I can make arrangements for them."
"Okay, I think every child in our village has a promising future."
Wang Fugui agreed happily. Everyone in their Tianyuan Village is wealthy now, but there are fewer books. The main reason is that there are more children, and the old books are not enough to go around.
"There have been a dozen more children in the village in the past two years. We bought a few books and asked the older children to copy a few manuscripts for everyone to read. Now, with what you brought, it will definitely be enough."
Su He smiled slightly, thinking of Yu Wen, "If Brother Yu Wen is willing, he can go to the capital with us this time. I will arrange for him to study in Yunkai."
Wang Fugui agreed on his behalf on the spot. Now that Su Yuwen is his son-in-law, he naturally wants the best for him.
"If he is willing, Lotus, I will let Yanzhi go too. Now Tietou is enough to run the tea stall. Shitou is now Tietou's assistant. The two of them can manage it well."
"Stone?"
Su He really couldn't imagine how Xiao Shitou would act as a manager. Shitou was the first child she had ever seen born, and in her impression, Xiao Shitou was only as tall as her waist.
"Shitou is only a head shorter than you now. He is very good at managing accounts. You will see it when you go and see it. Now we old people can't help."
Wang Fugui patted the mule gently to make it speed up.
As Su He was talking, she felt hungry, and Wang Fugui took out a bag of pastries from his arms.
"Your aunt asked me to bring this with me, fearing that you might get hungry on the way. Hehe, this is a new cake from our tea stall. Try it, the chrysanthemum cake."
Su He opened it and ate it. It was soft and sticky, and you could tell at a glance that glutinous rice flour was added. It had a sweet taste and was suitable for replenishing energy.
"good to eat."
"This will last for half a month. Take it with you when you leave."
The two of them chatted for four hours.
When they arrived at the tea stall, the tribesmen had blocked the official road. Su He asked her uncle to stop the car, and she called Mu Tou to come out and say hello.
"Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Six, Yanzhi, Shuiming, Uncle Yuzhi, Juhua, Wen Niang, ... Tietou, what did you eat? How did you grow so tall?"
Su He was so surprised when she looked at her nephew who was a head taller than her that she could only look up at him.
"Aunt, I'm already 18 years old. I'm only one year younger than Uncle Mu. I'm already an adult."
Even though Tietou was able to manage the entire tea stall, in Su He's eyes, he was still the child with two missing front teeth.
"Yes, Tietou is now the mainstay of the family. I heard from your grandfather that he is doing a great job. What about Shitou? Let me see if he has grown taller."
The crowd quickly called out to Shitou, and little Shitou shyly came out in a vest.
"aunt."
Su He smiled and touched Shitou's head. "I heard from your brother that you are very capable. You take care of your younger brother at home and help Tietou manage the tea stall outside. You two brothers are really amazing."
Shitou blushed when Su He stared at him, "I can only take care of the simple things now, but I will be able to take care of a lot more in two years."
"Lotus, the food at home is ready and in the meeting room. Let's eat and chat when we get there."
"Yes, Lotus, you go in the carriage."
How could Su He agree to do that? None of the elderly people at home were sitting there.
"Let the young ones run there. Grandma, grandpa, and uncle, you must go by car. Everyone get on board."
After grandma and a few other old people refused several times, they finally went up with a smile.
Wang Fugui slapped the mule's butt hard a few times, and everyone only heard a sound.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!!!" (Today I'll show you how awesome I am!)
The mule was trying its best to move forward, as if it was also welcoming its favorite owner home.
