Lay to win!Cannon fodder, he has become the chief assistant

Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao were not too old when they left the capital.

He really didn't want to be squeezed by the emperor anymore, for fear that he would be like his father-in-law, who would just resign and not return home. If he couldn't rest for a few days, he would be called into the palace to work again.

Therefore, after he got the favor, he started packing his things non-stop and prepared to return to his hometown.

Cheng Hao was speechless.

As for?

"Father, mother, don't you want to guard your grandson? Besides, the second brother doesn't know about your resignation yet. If my sister and brother-in-law know that you are leaving like this, they will definitely not agree to it."

Cheng Jingzhou didn't even raise his head, and was busy packing his things: "She likes to agree or not, but I'm not in the capital anymore anyway. I've been working hard for most of my life, and I just want to go back to my hometown with your mother to live a quiet life, and you don't want to come either. Annoy us."

That's what he said, but how could Cheng Hao really let his father and mother return home like this?

The brothers and sisters discussed it and finally came up with a solution.

Cheng Hao's eldest son has just been selected as a scholar. He will not take the provincial examination this year and will have to wait for another three years. It just so happens that he can take this opportunity to go out and have a look, and to be taught by his father. This can not only make a difference for the son, but also It is a good thing to show filial piety in front of elders.

After that, the little girl from the second child's family and the second boy from the younger sister's family happily packed their bags and followed them when they heard that they were going back to their hometown.

What else can Cheng Jingzhou do?

Looking at the envious expressions on these children's faces, there was nothing they could do to drive them back.

Okay, let's go together.

The emperor was so gracious that he sent a guard to personally escort Mr. Cheng Ge back to his hometown, and also gave him a plaque, which was a supreme honor.

In this way, Cheng Jingzhou took Xie Rongzhao back to his hometown slowly.

The reason why the little girl from the second family has always been with Xie Rongzhao is because the child has been lovable since she was a child, but her mother did not want to see this daughter and wanted a son. Xie Rongzhao did not want to embarrass his daughter-in-law too much, so he simply gave up his granddaughter I took it with me to educate me.

You must know that Xie Rongzhao is now the imperial wife of the first rank. Even if Cheng Jingzhou resigned, he still has the false title of the first rank. He is no longer an ordinary citizen.

With such a grandmother's personal guidance, the little girl's marriage will not go wrong in the future.

The Cheng family's hometown has already been renovated twice.

The Cheng family's old house is larger today than it was a few decades ago.

The five-year-old manor house brought his things across the courtyard, and there were some old servants in the house, as well as the manpower brought by Cheng Jingzhou and the others on this trip, which was enough.

When Cheng's father passed away, both Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao came back to pay their respects. It wasn't long before the old servants at home could still recognize them.

As for Cheng's mother, now the dowager, she has been retiring in her old home. After Cheng's father passed away, she insisted on staying in her hometown and refused to let Cheng Jingzhou and the others come back. She only said that there was someone taking care of her and he didn't need to worry.

This is true.

There are quite a few juniors in the Cheng family, and it would take almost a month for each person to come here and visit once a day.

In addition, there are maids and maids specially arranged by Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao, so there is no need to worry.

Now that they are back, Mrs. Cheng is also happy. When she sees her great-grandson and great-granddaughter, who she has no memory of, she wishes she could hug them all and kiss them.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back! As an old woman, I can still help you take care of your children."

Mrs. Cheng's health has always been very good, and she now eats three meals a day regularly, has no illness or disaster, and is in a good mood, so she naturally looks young.

"Zhaozhao, come here quickly. I'll take you to see the vegetables I grew myself. The west courtyard has been idle, so I asked someone to clear it out and grow some vegetables. It's good for us to eat by ourselves."

In fact, why does the Cheng family need Mrs. Tai to grow vegetables herself? It was just that she was too busy, so I deliberately found something to do for her to pass the time.

"Mother doesn't raise flowers now?"

"Grow it! Those flowers and plants have to be taken care of. I have nothing to do myself, so I will plant some more vegetables. Now that you are back, it just so happens that we have enough to eat for our whole family."

When Cheng Jingzhou returned to his hometown, he was received and flattered by officials from various places.

Now returning to Gaoyang County, the county magistrate also personally went to the city gate to greet him.

There is no way, who could let him be the chief assistant.

Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao settled in, chatted with the wife again, and then took an early rest.

As I get older, I have been tired of traveling and traveling all the way, and it’s hard to accept the old age.

Cheng Jingzhou has been an official for many years and has spent a lot of time sitting. Even though he has the habit of practicing martial arts, he still suffers from back pain.

So Xie Rongzhao gave him a careful massage before taking a rest.

When they woke up the next day, both of them were in high spirits.

"Yes, Zhao Zhao's technique is still so good. I feel as light as a swallow again."

Xie Rongzhao scolded him angrily: "You are old, so you are not allowed to act recklessly!"

Cheng Jingzhou chuckled twice and said flatteringly, "Don't worry, I've been listening to you at home for most of my life, and I'm not allowed to mess around."

The couple went to pay their respects to the Madam, and then had breakfast with the Madam. After the conversation, several juniors came to pay their respects.

Mrs. Cheng asked them one by one how they were resting and what they were uncomfortable with, and then she quickly sent them to eat.

After Xie Rongzhao and Cheng Jingzhou rested at home for two days, they went to check out some of their properties.

They had two farms in Gaoyang County, one of which was left by Cheng's father, and the other was purchased by Cheng Jingzhou later.

As for Xie Rongzhao's purchases, they were basically all in the capital, and later he also purchased some properties in Fucheng. Now that there are people taking care of them, she doesn't need to worry.

Xie Rongzhao still misses running around in the mountains with his fourth brother when he was a child. It was so good and unrestrained at that time.

The couple left their grandchildren in the old house, and the old lady helped take care of them. They lived directly in the village for five or six days in peace.

Cheng Jingzhou didn't know how to farm originally, but he later became a doctor in the Farming Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and went to the Northland and inspected it personally, so he still understood these things.

It's just that it's one thing to understand it, but it's another thing to do it yourself.

Fortunately, he was self-aware and just watched the farmers working in the fields without following them to cause trouble.

As for Xie Rongzhao, she really doesn’t know how to do farm work, but she is a good actress. When she has some free time these days, she sits in the yard, listening to the sound of Cheng Jingzhou dancing his sword, slowly making him pajamas, and occasionally looking up A glance to prevent him from injuring his waist again by moving too much.

Many people feel that Cheng Jingzhou should not retire so early, as he can at least be suspended for another five years.

But Cheng Jingzhou is not the kind of person who loves power. He still wants to enjoy a love life with his wife, and he can't just live in calculations and government affairs all the time.

He is neither short of money nor famous. Isn't it more comfortable to be like this now than working on paperwork all day long?

As the sun set, the couple's eyes met and they smiled in unison. It turns out that happiness is so simple!
