She was pleased that Dajiang Xiaohe should be at home after school at this time. It was a good time to put down her things without going in. It would be nice to let her father know that she and her husband were back and have peace of mind for the night.

It seems that not only the two brothers-in-law, but also the current father-in-law are more popular with his wife. Gu Wenxuan decisively asked the driver to go right at the intersection ahead.

People in the village basically eat two meals a day during the winter farm break, and get ready to take a nap when it gets dark, but the Zhou family is different. There are two scholars in the family, who eat three meals a day and sleep late.

"Dad, I'm back."

Thursday Shun suspected that he heard wrongly.

When I went to the county town tomorrow, not only Shopkeeper Wang, but also the escort agency said that no convoy had returned in the past two days, but there would be a convoy returning in three or five days.

"Is it Sanya?"

"It's me, mother."

With a "pop" sound, Zhou Shun patted his thigh and gasped in pain. He ran outside without even bothering to rub it. Hey, it’s not his Sanya who’s standing at the entrance of the courtyard!

"Dad, please slow down." Zhou Banxia couldn't help but laugh, "Mom, be careful too. I haven't returned to my husband's house yet, so I won't go in yet. I'll talk to you when I get back tomorrow. Where is my brother?"

"Sister, I'm here."

"Hey, my brother is here." Zhou Banxia teased Xiaohe and patted Dajiang's shoulder, who was coming a step behind. "Take Xiaohe in quickly, it's cold outside."

"It's not cold, it's warm. If you don't believe me, just touch my hand. Sister, why don't you stay at home all night when you come back? Brother and I have a lot to say to you."

"Let Third Sister go back first, don't let anyone gossip and ruin Third Sister's reputation." Zhou Yujiang looked at Zhou Banxia to see if he was cold, "Where is my Third Brother-in-law?"

"Later." Zhou Banxia reminded quietly, "This time there are two or three boxes of books that I won't leave at home. I'll help you when you take a rest and go up to the river to help me."

Gu Wenxuan and the coachman carried the wooden box into the courtyard gate, put down the wooden box and the baggage they were carrying, and were about to salute his father-in-law and mother-in-law when they saw his father-in-law glare at him.

"You kid, go back quickly and don't let anyone gossip. Come back early tomorrow with Sanya. Forget it, let's go back and have a good sleep first to calm down."

Don't let the child have a warm meal before going back. Just as Mrs. Li was about to walk to the kitchen, she heard that her husband left her daughter alone and sat down with her uncle.

"Then come back tomorrow afternoon. Mom will prepare delicious food for you. Big brother, I have to wait for you for a while. I'll be back as soon as I go."

"Mom, no need. There is a stove in the car. We are not hungry." After saying that, Gu Wenxuan still bowed to the couple in a polite manner.

His parents doted on him, but his father-in-law did not. It was better to be honest, lest his father-in-law would not like him and come back to cause trouble for him. This was not something that his father-in-law could not do.

After chatting with the two brothers-in-law who saluted him, seeing that they did not get on the carriage to go to his house, they made an appointment to come early tomorrow afternoon and have dinner together. Gu Wenxuan quickly helped Zhou Banxia get into the carriage.

When Mrs. Li saw that the carriage had run away and that Zhou Shun and his son had not yet entered the courtyard, she quickly grabbed Zhou Shun's sleeve and said, "Bring the things into the house first. I can't move them alone."

Zhou Shushun immediately glanced around and saw that although no one was coming out of the neighbors, it was probably close, and he really should move things into the house first.

Pity!

I couldn't take a good look at what Gu Lao Er would look like later.

His Sanya didn't know what good things he had brought to her husband's family. There seemed to be several large boxes tied to another carriage without a carriage.

There are few people on the road to the west of the village, and there are even fewer people to the east of the village to delay this.

Passing through the end of the village to the east of the river, even if someone heard a carriage entering the village and went out, the carriage would run away, and there would be no more greetings with people, and it would soon arrive at Gu's house.

"Father, we're back."

Gu Erzhu was about to go to his second uncle Gu Erye's house when he heard the hoofbeats of more than one horse approaching in front of him. His heart moved and he hurried out the door.

Two carriages, one behind the other, ran toward the door of his house and stopped slowly, followed by the sound of his Mukuro's voice. "Don't be busy saluting yet. Come in quickly and don't freeze." Seeing Zhou Banxia getting off the carriage and about to salute, Gu Erzhu quickly stopped him.

I wanted to call my mother to come out quickly, but I was worried about disturbing the neighbors and attracting onlookers, so I simply asked Zhou Banxia to go into the house quickly and call Mrs. Liu to come out.

"Dad, there are a few boxes that need to be moved in."

"Take the back door."

Seeing that his family Liulang was so cold, it was not the gate of the old courtyard, so the threshold could be lowered to let the carriage in. Gu Erzhu quickly got on the front of a carriage behind him.

Hi, we are still acquaintances.

"It turns out to be your car."

"I didn't expect Mr. Gu to be your son. No wonder he looks familiar. If I had known he was your son, why would I have charged the car money? Brother Erzhu, have you separated your family?"

"No, we just moved here not long ago. Who is that in front?" Not to mention that it was not a horse-drawn carriage. At first, he seemed to be called Second Master Gu.

"You don't know? The Zhao family in the west of the city. Butler Zhao came back with your son and his wife. Even I benefited from the good food and drinks along the way."

Zhao family?

Gu Erzhu nodded thoughtfully, and the carriage arrived at the back door. Before he had time to speak, his clever Sanya had already run over to open the door with a lantern.

"Where's our mother?"

"I'm busy making noodles with my sister-in-law, dad, please pay attention." Zhou Banxia pulled Xiao Baoya aside and waited for the carriage to come in before closing the back door.

Gu Wenxuan couldn't care about his wife for a moment. Seeing that she was wrapped in a cloak, he quickly stepped forward to help unload the six wooden boxes covered with tarpaulins and tied up.

There was a carriage behind. Gu Erzhu and Gu Wenxuan, father and son, and two coachmen were busy moving boxes to the front yard. Zhou Banxia and Xiao Baoya were not idle either.

The aunt and sister-in-law carried the contents of the other carriage back to the front yard. Zhou Banxia saw Gu Erzhu and Gu Wenxuan, father and son, moving the boxes and cages into the west wing.

This doesn't work.

The mother-in-law is the head of the house, so she has to move the wooden boxes to the main house first. Otherwise, why would she have sorted out six wooden boxes and brought them back early? Zhou Banxia quickly reminded, "Brother Liulang, you went to the wrong place."

"Don't worry about this." Ma Shan tried her best to hold back her laughter and snatched the things from Zhou Banxia's hand, "Go and see if there is anything left in the carriage."

Xiaobaoya smiled and said nothing.

Mother and father had already agreed in private that they could not be partial like grandpa. The rules must be established. Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Whoever owns things belongs to the other.

Gu Wenxuan was also helpless. He had made the mistake of leaving just now. If he hadn't been carrying a big wooden box in his hand, he was almost beaten by his father. Wouldn't he still be able to insist on coming with him?

While they were talking, the six wooden boxes were almost finished moving, so Zhou Banxia had no choice but to give up and go back to the backyard to carry the remaining packed baggage in the carriage back to the west wing.

When I came back, there was no one in the west wing.

Outside, father and son Gu Erzhu and Gu Wenxuan were pulling and stopping each other, inviting the two coachmen to go up to the main hall to have a bowl of hot soup before leaving.

Seeing this, Zhou Banxia had no time to open one of the wooden boxes and take out food, so he could only quickly carry one of the bags containing dry food and cooked food to the kitchen.
