The other companies also criticized each other one after another, obviously they were all extremely disappointed.

"It's just that you don't do anything after receiving money. How shameless!"

"You could have called us just now, but you actually forgot about us!"

"You also said that after many long journeys, no thieves dare to intercept your caravan. It's like a liar!"

The guard leader's face turned as red as a stewed egg, and he regretted coming to scold him.

At this time, the chief manager of the caravan also came over. He was a good person and lost his previous arrogance. He lowered his head and spoke softly to everyone.

In short, the incident happened suddenly and I didn't take care of it for a while. I asked everyone's forgiveness and refunded half of the protection money.

When everyone saw it, they accepted it, took the money and shut up.

Soon, the fallen carriage was carried out and rushed to the mountain village where they settled. They stayed temporarily for one night and got up early the next day when the weather was fine and started on their way.

Although everyone forgave the caravan, their trust in them could not be regained.

In the next few days, several carriages with companions traveled with the Tai family from morning to night, providing food, accommodation, transportation, and even letting horses and water go in sync.

It seems that only in this way can they feel a little more secure.

And everyone became familiar with each other, and after establishing a relationship, they turned out to be acquaintances in many twists and turns.

For example, one of the families is actually a distant relative of the Song family, and there is also a scholar who knows Mr. Wu. As for the young man's father, he used to live in a camp with He Shan...

In short, regardless of whether it is true or false, it cannot be changed by signing up for group heating.

After spending the night at dawn, we finally saw the shadow of Tai'an County after four days. Everyone in the Tai family breathed a sigh of relief.

After hastily bidding farewell to the large caravan and everyone accompanying him, the Tai family's motorcade went straight to Tai's village.

It was now afternoon, and some villagers who were afraid of the heat had already set up camp under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

A few pieces of tattered linoleum were laid out, and the women chatted and made needlework, while the men waved cattail fans to drive away flies and boasted, while the old people looked at the distant crop fields and smiled from ear to ear, slowly squinting their eyes and taking a nap.

The sudden arrival of the motorcade quickly broke the tranquility.

A little kid with sharp eyes suddenly shouted, "Oh, Grandpa Six is ​​back!"

Regardless of whether they were asleep or not, everyone jumped up!

"Oh, it's really Uncle Six!"

"Uncle Six is ​​back, back!"

In the Tai family yard, Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang got together to dry the bedding, and they were also thinking about the young and old in the family.

"This quilt is exposed to the sun every day, but why haven't dad and the others come back?" What Yang Lihua missed most was her daughter, but it was hard to mention her, as if she was complaining that the old man had taken the child away.

Liu Dongniang also sighed and responded, "The boys are at home, and I dislike them for making a fuss. But now they are quiet, and I feel flustered again."

Tai Jizu came out of the stable and was about to speak when he heard movement outside the yard.

The three of them ran out without thinking!
The motorcade also approached. Zhuzhu stood on the car window, waving her chubby little hands, and kept shouting, "Mother, mother!"

Yang Lihua ran over in a few steps, took her daughter out of the car window, and bumped her around. Not only did she not lose weight, she seemed to have gained weight!
She lowered her head and looked into the fat girl's innocent eyes. She was so funny and sighed.

It's a shame she still worries about this girl suffering, it's really unnecessary!

Worrying about her eating him like a little pig is more than enough!
Liu Dongniang took two steps slowly, but finally took her niece over and shouted repeatedly, "My Zhuzhu has lost weight, she has lost weight! Have you thought about auntie? If you have eaten for lunch, auntie will cook it for you!" Yang Lihua heard this If you don't want to do this, turn aside and look at the children.

Chen Ruiyang tried his best to hold back his tears, quietly holding the corners of his clothes in his hands, and stood behind the crowd.

When Yang Lihua saw him, she stepped forward and hugged the poor child.

"Ruiyang, don't cry, we are home and everything will be fine in the future!"

Chen Ruiyang was held in a warm embrace and couldn't bear it anymore, so he burst into tears.

The rest of the villagers were talking to the old man when they suddenly heard crying and looked over. They were all curious about whose family the child belonged to.

Mr. Tai quickly said, "This is the nephew of the eldest daughter-in-law's natal family. The family suffered a disaster and was living abroad. We met each other on the way to Fucheng and brought them back together. Now the family is not short of food, eldest brother There is no one left in my daughter-in-law’s natal family. From now on, if I take this child in, I will raise her as my own.”

Everyone knew that Yang Lihua's hometown was in the south, and no one doubted it.

After all, I have seen the young master of the Zheng family come to give a thank you gift before, but I can't remember it clearly.

Who can associate that gentle, wealthy young man with the dark, thin, poor boy in front of him?

Yang Lihua quickly brought Chen Ruiyang into the courtyard, and Mr. Tai also gave out the good news at the right time, "My Yongning has passed the exam and will be famous in the future!"

It happened that Mr. Tai heard the news and rushed over from home. He was so happy that he almost jumped three feet high!

"Haha, this is a great event. Hurry up and open the ancestral hall to pay homage to your ancestors!"

"Third brother, wait!" The old man stopped him quickly and said with a smile, "Yong Ning is accompanying Mr. in Fucheng and will stay for another two months. Maybe there will be more good news by then. Don't worry, don't worry. Wait for Yong Ning Let’s talk about it when we come back!”

Mr. Tai doesn't know what the greater good news is, but what my old brother told me is correct!

"Okay, you don't have to worry about being late for a good meal, and it won't be as late as two months! When Yongning comes back, let him kowtow to the ancestors! After so many years in our Tai family, we finally have a scholar! He is also a scholar who has passed the examination!"

The rest of the villagers were also happy from ear to ear and shouted congratulations one after another.

For a while, everyone helped unload the goods on the car and chatted for a long time. It wasn't until Liu Dongniang's meal was ready that the young and old of the Tai family were let go and allowed to eat quietly.

Everyone's nerves had been tense for four or five days, especially after they had experienced a robbery. Now that they were home, they suddenly relaxed and became very tired.

Halfway through her meal, Zhuzhu nodded her little head and dozed off from sleepiness.

Yang Lihua was so distressed that she carried her daughter into the house and asked Chunhong to guard her before going out to take care of her family.

The old man and the boys reluctantly ate their meal and wandered back to the house to sleep.

He slept until the next morning. The old man was mindful of the entrustment of Mr. Wu and others, and quickly took a carriage into the city.

He first went to Wu's house, reported to Mrs. Wu that she was safe, and then delivered the packages and letters that Mr. Wu had brought.

Mrs. Wu was naturally very happy when she heard that several children were in high school.

The old man once again went to the Song family, Qi family and Teng family. The three families were extremely happy and made sure to drag the old man to have a wedding banquet together.

The old man couldn't refuse, so he finally had a meal at Song's house and returned home before closing the city gate.

Tai Yongan came out with two veterans to greet him and escorted the half-drunk old man home.

After washing up, the old man sobered up, then hugged his granddaughter and talked to everyone.

Tai Yong'an couldn't wait to kneel down. Unexpectedly, Chen Ruiyang got ahead of him, and his knees made a loud bang on the floor! (End of chapter)
