Chapter 233 220 Two Going Northward to Find Relatives in Datong Mansion ([-])
In the morning of the next day, the three of them ate something in a hurry. After that, Duan Wuji settled the bill, Xiao Fuzi got into the carriage, Liu Caihua sat in, and Duan Wuji rode on the horse while asking questions. , while going straight to the west of Datong Fucheng, he ran down.

Liucaihua opened the car curtain, and looked at the familiar hometown with tears streaming down, yes!I have been away from home for more than 20 years. When I first left home, I was an ignorant little girl. Now that my son is so old, can I not be excited when I recall my troubled past life?

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the wheels rolled on the stubborn stones beside the road, making a creaking sound.

Duan Wuji urged his horse to go forward, and a small mountain village appeared in front of him in the deep part of the mountain, near the big mountain.

Liu Caihua jumped out of the car when she saw Pao Dong. This small village is Liujiatun.

Liucaihua looked at the strange but familiar hometown, she was so excited that she couldn't speak for a while, Duan Wuji hurriedly jumped off the horse when she saw it.

"Mother, this is Liujiatun, what's the matter with you now? Could it be that you can't find a home now?
It doesn't matter if you can't find it, we can inquire!Can this be hard for us? "

At this moment, a man in his 30s carrying a hoe passed by with his head down, Duan Wuliu said to his mother in a low voice: "Mother, you have seen the man, can we stop him and ask him? "

Willow cauliflower nodded.

Liu Caihua walked two steps closer to the man and said, "Brother, ask me, do you know where Liu Qingyun's family lives?"

"Oh, did you inquire about the old Liutou's family? Does their family live at the west end of the village? What do you inquire about their family's business?

Ma'am, why do I look familiar to you?I seem to have seen it somewhere, madam, how about I take you to his house? "

"Well, then thank you very much."

Well, this guy is quite enthusiastic, the people in this mountain are simple and honest!

Xiao Fuzi was driving the cart behind, Duan Wuji was leading the horse behind, and followed the two of them towards the west end of the village.

The man with the hoe was chatting with Liucaihua as he walked.

"Ma'am, how do you know their family? Hey, the life of that old Liutou is hard, it can be said that he never eats his last meal, what a poor family!"

Liucaihua burst into tears when she heard this.

"Hey, how many years have passed, and this life is still so unsatisfactory! What a poor and eight generations!

Hey, big brother, what's your name? "

The man with the head on his back laughed and said: "Ma'am, my name is Liu Quansheng, and my nickname is Liu Mupiao.

Hey, this is the name from my parents.

Ma'am, what's my name? Anyway, you don't know me. How can a noble person like you know us poor people? "

Liu Caihua laughed and said, "Oh, you are that little brother! Why doesn't my sister know you?
Didn't you often come to our house to play when you were young?how?Don't you remember? "

"Sister, who are you?"

Liu Caihua laughed and said, "You don't seem to know me anymore, hey, it's no wonder, I haven't seen each other for more than 20 years.

I am your big sister Liucaihua!

how?Can you remember? "

The man with the hoe stopped and glanced twice and said, "Sister Caihua, I really recognized it, so it's you?

Do the folks think you are long gone?It turns out that you are still alive, and you are still alive so well, I really didn't expect it! "

Liu Caihua laughed and said, "Life is like a dream. Who would have expected it? Wuji! Come quickly, let me introduce you. This is the uncle of your third master's family. Why don't you hurry over here?" See you for a treat?"

Duan Wuji hurried over after hearing this, and knelt down on the ground with one leg.

"Uncle, Duan Wuji greets you."

The man named Liu Quansheng was taken aback when he saw it, and quickly reached out to help him.

"Don't be too polite, get up quickly.

Hey, big sister, is this your son?Look how handsome this guy is!He must be that rich and powerful person in the future! "

Liu Caihua laughed and said: "This is my youngest son. This time I brought him home to visit relatives. By the way, I also asked him to recognize the door of his grandma's house. As the saying goes, relatives don't come to the door, even if they are relatives relative.

I'll take him here and walk around this time. "

Not long after, this man named Liu Quansheng led them to the door of a family, Duan Wuji took a look, ho!This family is quite poor. The courtyard wall is built of stones, only about half the height of a person. There is a broken fence at the door, which is made of broken tree branches.

Inside are five thatched houses, low and dilapidated. The yard is full of weeds, and a few beds of vegetables are planted on the west side of the yard.

Liu Quansheng pushed open the fence and shouted loudly: "Is Second Uncle at home? There are guests at home."

"Who is here?"

With a reply, an old man came out from the dilapidated door.

Duan Wuji saw it, ho!The old man was dressed in shabby clothes, patched with patches on his khaki-colored clothes, and the color of the worn-out shoes on his feet could not be discerned.

This old man has gray hair, and his whole body is skinny.

Duan Wuji felt uncomfortable when he saw it, the circles of his eyes were sour, and two lines of tears flowed down.

The old man went out to have a look, and saw a covered carriage parked at the door, and a young man leading a horse stood beside the carriage, it looked like that wealthy family.

I saw a noble lady standing beside the carriage, dressed luxuriously and with a dignified appearance.

The old man was stunned when he saw it.

"Dare to ask this nobleman, who are you? Old man, I don't seem to have any relatives from such a wealthy family."

When Liu Caihua saw it, she took two steps and fell to her knees.

"Father, it's me! I'm your eldest daughter Liucaihua, why? Can't your old man recognize me?"

The old man lowered his head to take a closer look, and finally recognized it after looking for a long time.

"Cauliflower? Are you? What? My poor son! Are you still alive? I make Daddy miss you so much."

After finishing speaking, the old man hugged the willow cauliflower and wept bitterly.After crying for a long time, the old man looked at the willow cauliflower and asked: "Girl, where did you go? Damn dad, I have been looking for you for several years!

Son, come and sit in Daddy's room.Our father and son must have a good chat. "

Liu Caihua wiped away her tears, turned her head and said to Duan Wuji: "Damn, why don't you come to see your master?"

After hearing this, Duan Wuji walked a few steps and fell to his knees.

"Master, my son is here to visit your old man."

The old man rushed over and quickly reached out to help.

"My child, get up quickly, come, and follow the master into the house."

The old Liu Touniu turned his head and shouted into the room: "Old woman, come out quickly, look who is here? Today is a great event for our family!"

"Hey, what kind of happy event can people like us have?"

As he spoke, an old woman in her 50s came out of the broken house.Duan Wuji took a look.

Ho!The old lady was dressed more shabby than her master's. Her blue clothes were covered with patches, and her gray hair was messy.

When Liu Caihua saw her mother coming out, she took a few steps and hugged her.

"Mother, how did you become like this? My poor mother!"

The old woman was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what was going on.

"Is it Huahua? My child, why did you come back? I miss you so much, child, where have you been all these years? Come, let my mother take a good look."

After watching for a long time, the old woman said with a smile: "My child, your appearance hasn't changed, um, you just gained a little weight. Maybe it's because of your better life."

Liucaihua Niutou said to Duan Wuji: "Damn, why don't you come and see your grandma?"

Duan Wuji came over and knelt down to nibble his head to his grandma.

"Grandma, Wuji licked your head for the old man."

"Hey, cauliflower! Is this your child? It's so big. Come on, come on, get up."

The man named Liu Mupiao saw it and said with a smile: "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, let's reunite as a family.

I went to work in the field, do you want me to call my brothers back to you? "

"Well, that's all right, then I'll trouble you. Tell him, just say that his eldest sister is back today."

"Hi!"

After finishing speaking, the big man turned around and left with the hoe on his shoulder.

The old man looked at Liucaihua mother and son and said: "You haven't eaten yet, why don't you let your mother cook you something to eat?

Let me tell you, my son, our family still has more than 20 catties of grain, which is enough for both of you. "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard that.Xin said: My grandma's family is too poor, isn't this more than 20 catties of grain still called grain?This little food is only enough to feed the chickens.

Liucaihua laughed and said, "Father, mother, we have already eaten, so you don't have to worry about us."

After finishing speaking, Liu Caihua Niutou said to Duan Wuji: "Boy, why don't you rush to the city to buy some food and come back? Your grandma's family is almost dying of poverty."

Duan Wuji promised and said to Xiao Fuzi: "Why don't you hurry up and take off all the quilts on the car?"

As soon as Xiao Fuzi heard the order from the young master, how dare he neglect it!Immediately jumped into the car and took off the brocade quilt from the car.

Liucaihua's mother was shocked when she saw it!

"Hey! My daughter, do you have such a good bedding? Take it here and let your mother touch it."

Liucaihua saw it and said with a smile: "Damn, go to the city and buy some sets for your master and others, and let your master and them build new ones."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mother, don't worry, the child knows what to buy.

Little Fuzi, why don't you untie the big ox at the back of the car? "

After hearing this, Xiao Fuzi immediately obeyed, and untied the big yellow ox and tied it to a tree in the yard.

Duan Wuji waved at Xiao Fuzi.

"Come on, follow me to the city to go shopping."

"Hey."

Xiao Fuzi followed Duan Wuji out with a promise, the two of them came to Datong City, they found a big cloth shop, Duan Wuji ordered six sets of the best quilts and pillows, and picked out the best ones. I bought eight bolts of cloth.

Duan Wuji paid the money and loaded these things into the car. The two of them came to a large grain store, and Duan Wuji opened the door and walked in.

The clerk in the store greeted him with a smile when he saw him.

"Guest officer, what do you want? We have all the goods in our house. It can be said that you can get what you want."

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Hey, buddy, do you take care of delivery here?"

"Guest officer, as long as you buy a full cart, we will deliver it for free within thirty miles."

"Well, that's good, you remember it for me, you give me [-] catties of white flour, you give me [-] catties of millet, you give me [-] catties of peanuts, and you give me [-] catties of mung beans. Give me one hundred catties of soybeans, ten catties of sesame oil, one hundred catties of rice, and one hundred catties of high-quality vegetable oil."

When this guy heard that he was that big client, he was very happy now.

"Oh, sir, this much cargo is enough for two truckloads, sir, where are these goods sent?"

"Where to send it to? Send it to Liu Qingyun's house in Liujiatun in the west of the city."

"Well, I remember. Let's settle the score, let's load the car after we settle the score."

"Then how much is this little money?"

"A total of 34 taels, guest officer, since you are a big customer, we only charge you 34 taels. Let's recruit a repeat customer."

Duan Wuji paid the money, Duan Wuji turned to Xiao Fuzi and said, "Little Fuzi, let's go, let's buy some more meat."

Xiao Fuzi drove the carriage and followed Duan Wuji to the meat market. Finally, Wuji bought another twenty chickens, fifty catties of eggs, and two pieces of pigs before heading back.
