"My father is here, my father is here," Zhou Zhou Lang caught up from behind, squeezed into the circle with a package and said, "We have brought a lot of candy and snacks from the capital this time, come here, everyone come and try taste..."
As soon as they heard that it was candy and snacks from the capital, everyone became excited, and immediately left Zhou Man to surround Zhou Zhoulang.
While distributing candy, Zhou Zhou led everyone down to the big banyan tree, so all the roads in the village were vacated.
Upon seeing this, Master Bai immediately waved his hands and said, "Hurry up, let's go home quickly. Firecrackers and a brazier are prepared at home. Erlang, take the princess and the child and go first."
Bai Erlang immediately covered Mingda's ears, and by the way, asked his son to cover his ears by himself, and then the firecrackers started crackling...
When the children in the village heard the sound of firecrackers, they stopped squeezing in to get candy and snacks. They turned around and ran back to join in the fun. The most important thing was to pick up unlit firecrackers for fun.
There were too many people. In the chaos, the Zhou family went to the village, and the Bai family had to cross the river. Zhou Man was dragged by the crowd and brought to Zhou's house in a daze.
There are also people waiting here, and there is a large group of old people. As soon as they saw Zhou Man, they grabbed her in a daze, "Man Bao is back, I heard from your second and third brothers that you have become a princess in the capital? "
Zhou Man nodded, "Yes."
"Oh, I heard from the play that the princess is the prince's daughter. Are you becoming the prince's daughter?"
Zhou Man: "That's not true, my title... It's a bit complicated, it has nothing to do with the prince."
"Man Bao, is it the princess or the governor?"
"It's different. The princess is a title, and the governor is an official position. But in terms of rank, the princess is a bit older."
"What about the prince, is it the princess princess or the Yizhou king?"
"Of course it's the king of Yizhou," but there is no king of Yizhou at the moment, Zhou Man swallowed the second half of the sentence, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that the prince's daughter was named princess, The father is naturally older than the daughter."
"By the way, where's your father?"
Old Zhou Tou and the others were a little behind, mainly because there were too many people and things, and the road in the village was not big, so the whole village came to join in the fun, and they brought back a lot of people, so they were blocked behind up. .
After finally getting to the door of the house, the old guys stopped me before I could take a sip of water, "Zhou Jin, why don't you look old? You're still the same as a few years ago."
"It's the same as a few years ago, it looks younger than a few years ago," someone said enviously, "It seems that you are living a good life in the capital, Brother Jin, do your family eat meat every day now?"
Old Zhou Tou said: "It's not just a meal, isn't this a restaurant at home, even if you eat leftovers every day, it will be a bit greasy."
When everyone heard this, they were very envious. The person they envied most was the person who opened a restaurant at home.
What the village chief and the others care about is not this, but, "Uncle Jin, Datou and the others are all officials now?"
Old Zhou Tou said: "There are only a few of the big ones, and the fifth ones are still studying, but they are not very big officials, they just want to be more promising, but Man Bao said that the most promising ones are the ones who are educated and established. solid."
After all, the two of them were born in serious imperial examinations. As long as they have merit, their promotion will be smoother later.
Everyone was envious, "This is amazing, Zhou Jin, your family's grave is really smoking."
"Isn't my family's ancestral grave the same as your old man's ancestral grave?"
"I haven't been to such an old ancestral grave. We have thought about it and guessed that it may be your parents' ancestral grave. Otherwise, come back this time to repair your parents' grave and ask him to bless us too?"
"Yes, yes, the village can raise some money."
The old Zhou Tou agreed generously, "Don't give too much at that time. If you want to, just give me a few words, and I will pay the rest."
"Okay, okay, repair your brother's grave, and we will pay for it."
Old Zhou said: "This is not good, you are elders..."
"It's not that there are no younger generations in the family. It's their fault. Just let Zhou Yin bless them when the time comes."
"Yes, yes, it belongs to the juniors."
So the matter of repairing the grave was decided.
After the order was made, everyone saw Zhou Man standing aside, and hurriedly said: "Man Bao, these are your parents, you take the lead, we have to take the lead."
It was the first time that Zhou Man saw someone rushing to pay for his share. Seeing that his parents nodded, he could only nod along with him.
She looked at the sky and the increasing number of villagers outside the wall, and moved her footsteps, "Sixth Uncle, you chat first, I have to go back and see the child, otherwise he will cry soon."
"By the way, I forgot to ask you, did you bring both children back this time?"
"Bring it back."
"That's good, that's good. Now that your son is in charge of your parent's family, he should be the one who takes the lead in repairing the grave, right?"
Zhou Man: "...he just turned one year old not long ago, isn't it a bit early to take the lead?"
"It's just a name, and it's still up to you to handle the matter."
Qian felt that the child was too young and his fortune was too great to be able to handle it, so he hurriedly said: "The child is still young, let's talk about it when he grows up, and Man Bao can be the master of the house."
The person who made this suggestion just mentioned it casually. When Qian said that, he thought it was the same, so he skipped this question.
Everyone held Zhou Man back, not wanting her to leave immediately, "Stay and talk to us, it's neither too early nor too late, it's fine if you go back."
"Yeah, we uncles and brothers haven't seen you for ten years."
As a result, as soon as the words were finished, Bai Shan came over, carrying two packs of snacks and candy, handed them directly to the elders in the courtyard, and said in a group salute: "Boy pay respects to the elders, I'll take Man Bao home."
Qian asked with a smile: "Is the child making a fuss?"
"Yes," Bai Shan said with a smile: "When I got home, I found that their mother hadn't followed and was crying."
Qian Shi then pushed the two of them and said: "Then you go back quickly, and you come over for dinner at home tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, remember to come and talk to your uncles and brothers tomorrow." Old Zhou pressed down on the brother who was about to get up and pull him away, and waved them away, "Don't let the child cry for too long, what if you lose your soul?"
He turned his head and said to them: "You wait, I brought back some local products from the capital this time, and you can bring some back later."
As soon as they heard this, they immediately stopped pulling Zhou Man, and asked old Zhou, "What local product?"
"Of course it doesn't exist in Mianzhou, something you haven't seen..."
Bai Shan took Zhou Man's hand, greeted the villagers with a smile, and led her to walk quickly. He was relieved when he reached the riverside, "As soon as I turned around, you disappeared, Wu Yuan." Strangling my neck, it is difficult to turn my head, why did you get lost?"
"This is in the village, not outside. When people get crowded, I will leave with you." Zhou Man asked, "Aren't the two children frightened?"
"A little bit, but grandma and mother coaxed it, it's all right."
