Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Chapter 61
Qin Liu opened a small corner of the carriage curtain and saw the leader of the horseman wearing a flamboyant flying fish suit - it was the Jin Yiwei!
Qin Liu's heart was beating wildly.

Why did the Jin Yiwei rush towards the other courtyard of Duke Baoguo's Mansion with such a mighty force?
……

The carriage started and headed southeast outside Xuanfu City. The journey of more than 100 miles took two days.

At the entrance of Yanzi Tower, Qin Liu got out of the car and let the coachman leave.

She carried her luggage and entered the yard through the small door on the side.

Qin Liu looked at his beautiful new clothes and felt a little nervous. He wondered if the children would not recognize him?
It was getting close to evening at this time, and water had just been sprinkled on the stone paving in the yard, and a layer of moisture filled the air.

Under the eaves against the wall, a group of children were sitting on a row of small benches, from tall to short, very neatly.

The last child is small, only about two years old.

Qin Liu recognized him, it was his Erlang.

Dalang was holding a book, facing the children, and chanting loudly: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast, the sun and the moon are waxing, the stars are arranged..."

He said something, and the children against the wall repeated it loudly.

Qin Liu was shocked!
Dalang started teaching others to read at a young age!
She watched Da Lang flipping through the book and shouted softly: "Da Lang, Er Lang!"

Dalang turned around, threw the book away in surprise and rushed towards him: "Mother! Mother! You are finally back!"

Dalang held her while choking and said: "I thought you didn't want us anymore!"

Qin Liu touched Dalang's furry little head lovingly: "Silly boy, how could this happen? Why wouldn't mother want you?"

She looked towards Erlang.

Erlang just sat on his little bench and stared at her blankly, with no intention of jumping on her.

Instead, the surrounding children whom Qin Liu didn't know gathered around her and looked at her curiously.

The brave ones even reached out and touched Qin Liu's silver lily fairy skirt.

A dirty palm print appeared on the skirt.

Qin Liu was speechless. She squeezed out of the pile of children and planned to put the big burden on her shoulders into the house.

Seeing her entering the house directly, Erlang suddenly burst into heart-wrenching tears under the eaves.

Qin Liu quickly put down his baggage and went out to hug Erlang.

Erlang was already crying profusely, with tears streaming down his face. He pursed his lips from time to time, looking extremely aggrieved.

Qin Liu hugged and coaxed him for a long time before Erlang stopped crying and turned into sobbing quietly.

Qin Liu watched the little guy twitching, feeling extremely sad.

The little guy missed her a lot, but he felt sad when he saw that she didn't go to hug him, but went away by herself!

Qin Liu kissed Erlang with tears in her eyes: "Baby, be good, it's your mother's fault, she shouldn't have been gone for so long..."

Old Man Li grabbed a small bench with each hand and moved himself out of the house with difficulty.

Qin Liu smiled and greeted with tears in his eyes: "Dad, I'm back."

Old Man Li wiped his face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but crack, revealing his yellowed teeth. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were squeezed together, like blooming chrysanthemums: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back!"

Qin Liu saw a pregnant woman with a big belly coming out of the Ma's house next door. He looked at the door of the Li's house and hurried out.

Not long after, Aunt Ma and Sister Ma Feng, both wearing aprons, and Ma Yue dressed as a waiter, all ran into the yard.

They all had overjoyed expressions on their faces: "I'm back! I'm back!" Aunt Ma was so excited that she clapped her hands several times. Sister Ma Feng stepped forward and hugged Qin Liu's arm affectionately, and then pulled up her skirt. She was pleasantly surprised. The ground shouted: "Oh my God, what kind of clothes are these? Why do they look so good?!"

Ma Yue just stood there and giggled.

Qin Liu's eyes filled with tears again.

This is what it feels like to be home!

This is her home!
Qin Liu first called Aunt Ma: "Auntie, you have lost weight. Don't burn yourself out."

She turned to look at Sister Ma Feng with bright eyes: "This dress was made in Xuanfu. Next time we go to Xuanfu, we will make one for you too!"

Sister Ma Feng jumped up happily: "Really? Sister-in-law, can't you lie to me?!"

Aunt Ma came over and pinched Sister Ma Feng's ears, pretending to be angry: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Qin Liu smiled at Ma Yue again and said, "You seem to have grown taller again. How is the business in the store? Did you scare away the customers?"

Ma Yue scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile, "I'll keep the account and bring it over to you later!"

Aunt Ma turned away first, and said with a smile: "Liu'er is tired just after she came back, so don't disturb her. Let's go make dinner quickly... put aside the work in the shop first, the dinner must be sumptuous, go, Remember to call your brother back!"

Qin Liu watched Aunt Ma directing this and that. After a while, everyone in the yard was busy with her instructions. Only Old Man Li, the old man sitting next to Qin Liu, and the man sitting on Qin Liu's lap were all busy. Erlang is still under the eaves.

Busy sounds came from the kitchen of Yanzi Building in the south, and soon smoke drifted out of the chimney.

This sound is accompanied by the afterglow of the setting sun, intertwining a beautiful and moving picture with a strong pyrotechnic atmosphere.

Qin Liu squinted his eyes, raised his head slightly and took a deep breath.

What lingered on the tip of his nose was the milky smell of Erlang's head.

A poem slowly emerged in my mind:

"I'm Qingdu Shanshuilang, Tianjiao Fufu and Shukuang. I once granted rain and wind coupons, and left clouds to borrow moon badges when I was tired.

Thousands of poems and thousands of cups of wine.How many times have you set your sights on a prince?Returning lazily from the Jade Tower and Golden Tower, Luoyang is intoxicated by placing plum blossoms. "

Everyone had dinner at Yanzilou. Ma Ang also came back, and Ma Ang's wife, Mrs. Qu, who was pregnant.

There were sumptuous dishes on the table, and Aunt Ma said a little embarrassedly: "I learned all my craftsmanship from Liu'er. It's not like I've learned anything at all. Please be considerate!"

Qin Liu wiped the face of Erlang, whose two little faces were covered with rice grains, and was still working hard to dig out the rice with a spoon and put it into his mouth. He then put a chicken drumstick in Dalang's bowl and said with a smile: "I'll taste it and pour it." It’s very good. This stewed chicken is lighter than mine, and the delicious flavor of the chicken soup comes out immediately. You see, Da Lang drank three bowls!”

Aunt Ma's eyes lit up: "Are you telling the truth? They have no eyesight and always say that what I do is not as good as what you do!"

Ma Ang just smiled and ate, occasionally picking up a dish for Old Man Li.

Mrs. Qu sat in the last seat, lowered her head and folded her arms, only daring to touch the one or two dishes in front of her.

Seeing this, Qin Liu winked at Ma Ang and said with a smile: "Mrs. Qu is also having a hard time pregnant with the child. I gave her this chicken leg to eat. It's enough for one person to eat and two people to make up for it!"

Ma Ang gave Mrs. Qu the chicken legs and also gave her a bowl of chicken soup.

Mrs. Qu wiped the corners of her eyes, lowered her head to eat, drank the chicken soup and ate the chicken legs.

Ma Yue kept running back and forth from the kitchen to the dining table, taking bowls, chopsticks and spoons, and was very busy.

Sister Ma Feng looked at Mrs. Qu at the end with dissatisfaction, and asked while eating: "Sister-in-law Li, when are we going to Xuanfu to open a shop?"
