Traveling through the daily life of raising a family in ancient times

Chapter 23
He hasn't seen his wife and children for nearly four months, how are they?
Back at the door of the house, He Yanxin subconsciously wanted to knock on the couple's secret signal to call the door, but found that his hand went straight through the door of his house.

He stood there stiffly, not moving for a long time.As a wandering soul, he couldn't even shed tears from his eyes.But there was indescribable sadness on his face.

Qingniang, I'm back, but I can't come back either.

He Yanxin suddenly lost the excitement and excitement he had before.

At this time the door opened, and it was Mrs. Song who was going to the next door.She is leading two children, and the two-year-old second child no longer needs to be hugged.

The mother and son walked straight through He Yanxin's body.

"Qingniang... Dabao Xiaobao..." He called softly, hoping that they could hear him, but also afraid that his voice would scare them too much.

When Mrs. Song turned her head, He Yanxin's heart was filled with joy again.

His eyes were full of love and expectation, and he stretched out his hands to hug her.

"Ms. Qing!"

But the other party still walked through him, only reaching out to pull the door and lock it.

"Okay, let's go, you guys have to be good when you go to Grandpa Wu's house, you can't grab things from Brother Shitou, you know, mother will be back soon."

Lady Song bent down while walking to explain to the two brothers.Stone is the nickname of Wu Erlang's youngest son.

"Mother, we know, I will take good care of my younger brother." He Cheng nodded obediently, let go of his mother's hand and ran to the other side to hold his younger brother.

"Qing Niang is going to the mountains again?" Aunt Ge opened the door for her.

"Yes, I want to take advantage of this time to find more wild vegetables. Where's sister-in-law?"

At the beginning of April, the wild vegetables in the mountains are growing well, and she and Mrs. Chen often make appointments to go up the mountains to pick them.

Mrs. Li walked through the yard and snorted heavily at her.She didn't care either.

Instead, Aunt Ge looked at her apologetically, and turned around to give her daughter-in-law a hard look.Lady Li didn't feel any pain, she twisted her plump body and went back to the room.

"I'm holding the basket inside. That's right, if I'm not too old to climb the mountain, I'll go too." Aunt Ge seemed a little melancholy after she finished speaking.

"Da Lang and Yan Xin love to eat shepherd's purse at this time. After all, the second shepherd's purse in October is not as good as the current one."

Speaking of He Yanxin, Mrs. Song's original smile gradually faded, and her eyes were full of longing and worry.

"Blame me, I shouldn't have said these things." Seeing her like this, Aunt Ge hurriedly made amends.

At this time Mrs. Chen came out.

"Ma'am, let's go then." Mrs. Song lifted up the basket behind her and patted the heads of the two children.

The two went out and walked up the mountain.

He Yanxin followed behind, staring at her obsessively.

It seems a little thin, are you not full or...

Lady Song didn't know anything, she just walked silently.Normally, Mrs. Chen and her would talk on the road, but for some reason they were extremely silent today.

Until walking into the mountain, Mrs. Chen beside her spoke.

"Do you miss him?" It turned out that when Mrs. Ge mentioned Wu Dalang and He Yanxin, Mrs. Chen heard it in the utility room.She held back her crying and packed up her emotions before daring to come out.

"I miss him so much." Finally unable to hold back, Mrs. Chen supported the tree trunk and cried.

You can't take people with you when you cry, especially people who share the same experience with you.

Lady Song was still caressing the other party at first, so it can be seen that she couldn't hold back her crying.

Her crying was not like Mrs. Chen, but her eyes were staring blankly into the distance, her tears flowed silently, as if there was no end.

When He Yanxin heard what Mrs. Chen said, he felt anxious and uncomfortable when he thought of Brother Ang who died far away.

Seeing Qingniang like this again, his heart felt aching. This was the first time he felt pain after his death.He moved closer to her and wanted to hug and comfort her as usual.

Tried again and again, to no avail.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm here, I'm here. Qingniang, Qingniang..."

The two gradually stopped crying, looked at each other with an embarrassed smile, and then walked into the mountain.

For the next few days, he followed his wife all the time, watching her make a fire and cook, watch her coax the child, and also watch her melancholy after coaxing the child and her suppressed sobs in the middle of the night.

Ten days later, there was a knock on the door next door.

Aunt Ge opened the door and saw that it was her youngest son. Before she could be surprised, she was hit on the head by a thunderbolt.

"Mother!!!" Aunt Ge fainted.

"My Yuan Lang!" Madam Chen let out a mournful cry.

Hearing the sudden cry from the next door, Mrs. Song immediately walked out of the room.

What's going on here?In fact, she heard some crying from the village just now, but it was a little far away and she couldn't hear it clearly.

For some reason, she felt a little uneasy.He didn't even care about the child, locked the door from the outside, and went to the next door.

There were several bags of grain piled up on the bullock cart at the door, and two men in military uniforms were leaning aside holding knives.

Seeing her coming out, the two of them stared at her with frivolous eyes, and then laughed and didn't know what to say.

Is there any news about Yanlang?

Mrs. Song couldn't care about anything else at this time, and ran to Wu's house.

On the contrary, He Yanxin rushed forward as if he wanted to teach him a lesson, but it was still useless and he just passed through.

Entering the door, there was chaos inside.

Wu Sanlang was pinching Mrs. Ge who was lying on the ground, while Uncle Wu was sitting on the ground, opening and closing his mouth in a daze, but he couldn't make a sound.

Mrs. Chen clutched her chest, crying so hard that she couldn't breathe, and the child was also crying while holding her.Especially the 14-year-old daughter, who is already a big girl, helped her mother calm down while crying.

Wu Erlang was not at home, and his two children were also wiping away tears, especially the youngest one who was crying profusely.

On the contrary, it was Mrs. Li who was leaning on the corridor and looking this way in this chaos, as if she was watching a play.He frowns from time to time, looking impatient.

Aunt Ge also woke up moaning, but she didn't look well, she couldn't get up, and she was in a daze.

"Yousandi, what's the matter?" Mrs. Song's voice trembled. "Didn't brother Yanxin come back with you?"

"Sister-in-law Yan, you..." Wu Sanyou let his mother lean on him, feeling a bit speechless.

But there must be an explanation anyway, so he took a deep breath.

"By the way, I'm sorry. Brother Yan Xin and my eldest brother, they died in Yizhou."

The food outside the door is compensation for the families of the war dead.And because Wu Sanlang is a local who is familiar with the road, he joined the food delivery team.

In fact, King Qi never thought about this matter at all. It is said that he only allocated it after listening to the advice of people around him.

Other families in the village had already delivered, and it was not until the end that he hesitated to knock on the door of his own house.

There was a rumbling sound, as if thunder struck the top.She couldn't hear anything, she couldn't see anything.

At this time, she seemed to be hallucinating, and He Yanxin seemed to appear in front of her eyes. He called her name one after another, his eyes turned red with anxiety, and his face was anxious and flustered.

lie!fraud!Isn't her speech well-behaved?

"Yan Lang..." After muttering, he fell to one side.

Just now, He Yanxin always felt that Qingniang could see him, and called him.Before he could react, he could only watch helplessly as the other party collapsed to the ground.

But no one at the scene was able to help her. Although Miss Wu rushed over immediately, it still didn't help.

The whole family was in chaos, and the two children of the He family next door also started crying because they couldn't find their mother or what.

Fortunately, in the end, people from the village came to check on the situation, and Mrs. Li also ran out to help resettle the people one by one.
