บท 23: Back to the Village
"Bring this ham too." His mother handed over a large piece of paper-wrapped ham. Su Jin took it and put it in the basket.
"What else is there …" His mother was still muttering to herself.
"Mom, that's enough. I can't take more than that. Besides, it's not appropriate to bring back so many things at once." Su Jin persuaded.
His mother looked at all three baskets and agreed with this statement, then she stopped.
Su Jin let out a sigh of relief and tied the item up.
Although her father was already dead, her mother was still a widow for him, so she could still be considered a member of the Su family. Although they had not paid any attention to this matter for the past six months, they still had to return the filial piety that they owed. His mother packed a lot of things. She also packed her own cloth, meat, lamp oil, exquisite porcelain bowls and other daily necessities, all of which she had to take back with her.
In fact, Su Jin wasn't very satisfied with these things. After all, her father's brother and brother didn't show much expression in the past half year, so she didn't really care about acknowledging these people.
She had told Su Jin last night because she wanted to recognize her family's name when she returned to the village today. Especially her second brother, Su Yan. He had to be on the family tree so that he could be considered a real Su family member.
Su Jin knew that her mother would care about this. She could do whatever she wanted, but she wouldn't be so anxious if she was reminded at the appropriate time.
Su Jin called for the hired carriage and told her brother to carry the things up first. She then helped her mother up and carried her little sister up. Her brother didn't want to sit in the small carriage, so he turned around and sat outside the carriage.
Su Jin looked at her second brother, whose back was straight like a small tree sapling, and felt gratified in her heart.
As his second brother, who was a wordless person, he chatted a little bit more with himself and asked a lot of questions. As for other things like how much money he had in his family, he didn't care at all, and in the modern era, he was definitely a scholar who was engrossed in research.
The second brother's features were like that of a mother's. There was a hint of elegance in his features, and a hint of melancholy in his whiteness. The lines were clean, giving people a feeling of comfort.
In fact, on the surface, Su Jin's family were all good-looking, probably inherited her mother's and father's genes. Needless to say, even when her mother was haggard, she still had her own flavour, but her father was said to be a famous handsome young man who traveled many miles and eight miles. Every time he went to a village, all the girls in the village would fight to come out and see him once they heard that Su Gui Sheng had arrived.
In Su Jin's image, the two of them had an extremely close relationship.
Unfortunately, when she thought of her father, who had already passed away, her expression darkened and she lost all interest. She leaned against the window and lifted the curtain to look at the street.
The streets were a little desolate, probably because people had all returned to the village to visit the new year or to visit other places. There were a few children running around with toys and hanging age locks on their bodies, people coming and going with large and small bags of gifts, people who knew each other would stop for a chat, give greetings, pack a red packet for their children, the streets were filled with the lingering smell of firecrackers, mixed with the smell of all kinds of goods, and it was a unique scent of the New Year. Su Jin took a deep breath.
Seated on the rented carriage, she felt that it was even shakier than the Dai Family's carriage. Su Jin lowered the curtain and quietly sat back down. She closed her eyes and started thinking, waiting for the moment she arrived at the Su Family Village.
At this moment, the entire Su Family Village was already filled with excitement. Every household was showing a happy expression as if they were celebrating the New Year, and those who saw it couldn't help but feel happy along with them.
The village was not far from the village and could be reached in two hours. The villagers would sell some food and cotton to the town after satisfying their needs. As a result, the villagers wouldn't live too long.
It was almost noon. Every household was preparing a sumptuous lunch to entertain those who had returned to the village. Usually, there was no need for the men to intervene. They gathered near the village entrance and sat under the trees, chatting.
In a rare moment of leisure, a group of old masters gathered together. Hu Tianhai chatted, talking about the changes that had occurred in the town, or perhaps they were chatting about the news of the capital that had been delayed for half a year.
At this moment, he knocked the pipe in his hand against the mud. He sighed rather sorrowfully: "Pity that cousin of mine left at such a young age, leaving that family behind, I still don't know what to do!"
"Yes," said one of the men, when he thought of it, with a sigh, "my wife met her in town a few months ago, and said she looked very haggard, and was almost a skeleton.
"Pity your wife, such a beautiful woman —" The other one said, rolling his eyes. He could not help but feel a little light-headed as he recalled the scene of when your wife and your son came back from the past.
It was unknown if the other men had also thought of this, but the crowd instantly fell silent.
"Look!" A carriage has arrived, I wonder who it is! " In the midst of his silence, a man glanced at the road outside the village and cried out.
The men turned their heads and saw a carriage pass by. The flower curtain on the carriage swayed along with the bumpy ride, making it difficult to see what was going on inside the carriage.
The carriage stopped at the edge of the street where the men were chatting. A mental kid wearing a chessboard jacket jumped off the carriage. Without waiting for people to see his face, he turned around and lifted the curtain, bringing down a little girl.
The two eyes of the little girl were round and shiny. Along with her slightly fleshy face, she seemed cute and silly. She was dressed in a bright red cotton jacket with a delicate longevity lock around her neck. She had tied two bags on either side of her head with ropes, just like a kid who was looking for money.
"Mother, be careful." A calm and pleasant voice came out from the carriage, followed by a pair of slender hands, followed by the owner of the hands. The hands were dressed in a pine jacket, were long and slender, and both sides of their hair were simply combed.
She lowered her head and carefully got off the carriage, raising her head to reveal a gentle and beautiful face. This face made the men who were staring at them instantly recall the moment they saw her a few years ago when Su He Manor was the first to react: "Cousin Wife, you, you're back?"
