Chapter 93
The carriage bumped on the road for 25 days and arrived in Liuzhou on June [-]th.

The Su family, who got the news a long time ago, sent the stewards of the mansion to guard the gate of the city early.

As soon as the convoy passed the city gate, they went up to greet them. After a simple greeting through the curtain, the group drove to Su's house in a mighty manner.

After driving in the city for more than half an hour, the carriage turned into the street leading to the gate of the Su family's mansion.As soon as he passed the city gate, Zhou Xining lifted the curtain and looked out.Although it is still some distance away from the Su family's mansion, one can vaguely see a crowd of people standing at the gate of the mansion.

Su leaned forward and took a look out of the window, then said: "Ning'er, the grandfather's house is ahead, it's time to put down the curtains."

Zhou Xining stuck out his tongue, and lowered the curtains as he said. It was very rare for the Su family to let her lift the curtains and look out on the way.

Zhou Xining went to the old capital at the age of eight, and since returning to Beijing last year, he has been staying in Beijing.Except that I came to Liuzhou once with my mother when I was young, I never came again.After so many years, only a vague imprint of my grandmother's kindness remains in my mind.

He said that Zhou Xining didn't have much impression, even the Su family was a little timid.Since marrying into the Zhou family, she has only been back to Liuzhou twice, one time to visit her relatives after the wedding, and the other time to go home when her father was seriously ill.

After my father died of illness, my mother's health was not good these years, and she was often bedridden. She never came back to visit, which was the helplessness of marrying far away.

It's not that she doesn't want to go back, and it's not that her husband doesn't allow it, it's just that they are far away, and it usually takes two months to go back and forth.She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family and the head of the house, how can she leave for two months.Moreover, her mother also exchanged letters and forbade her to return lightly.

This year's mother's [-]th birthday was already scheduled to come back, I'm afraid this will be the last birthday she celebrates for her mother.Looking at the familiar faces at the gate of the mansion, and those unfamiliar but familiar faces, Su's eyes turned red.

"Sister, I'm looking forward to my sister..."

"Auntie, Auntie is well..."

……

Hearing the friendly calls from outside the carriage, Su's tears could not help falling down. This is a relative. No matter how long it has been since we haven't seen each other, I am still thinking about it, looking forward to it...

Zhou Xining glanced at Mrs. Su, raised his hand to open the car door, and got out of the carriage first. Although he couldn't tell who was who in the group in front of him, it was always right to salute with a smile.

Zhou Sining's legs felt a little sore after the round salute.

"Sister Ning'er, are your legs sore?" Seeing Zhou Xining's appearance, Su Jiu burst out laughing, pointed at the people nearby and said, "Don't look at them tall, they are all younger than you, Your courtesy is really... a big loss."

Zhou Xining pursed his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, and hummed: "Cousin is waiting, I will definitely complain to my aunt when I enter the mansion later."

The Su family has seven cousins ​​and one cousin. Even though she has never met them, she still knows them.

I also know that Cousin Su is invigorating the atmosphere.

"My son, don't wait for a while, the eldest aunt will vent your anger on you." A middle-aged woman in the crowd came out, and without saying a word, she waved her sleeves and hit Su Jiu.

When Su Jiu saw her mother approaching with her arms raised, she hurriedly hid to the side, shouting repeatedly: "Sister Ning'er is not kind, she demolished the bridge before the river was over..."

Zhou Xining rolled his eyes and laughed out loud, and hurried forward to hug Mrs. Su's arm to stop him: "Auntie, my cousin took care of me along the way, so that Ning'er and mother can have delicious hot soup Hot rice, you can’t beat it, why don’t we remember it for my cousin first?”

At the same time, he turned to the carriage and shouted: "Mom, if you don't get out of the carriage, my cousin will be beaten..."

Mrs. Su didn't really want to beat her son, but she just wanted to liven up the atmosphere in response to the occasion. After hearing Zhou Xining's words, she immediately laughed out loud.

I often hear my son mention that this niece of the Zhou family is getting more lively and likable as she grows up. Seeing her today is really sweet.Looking up at the few sons in the crowd, she felt very sad, why didn't she get a daughter.

Su Shi calmed down in the carriage for a while, and was about to get up, but upon hearing Zhou Shining's words, she immediately got off the carriage, walked forward quickly and said, "Sister-in-law..."

When Mrs. Su saw that Su's eyes were swollen, her heart ached, and her eye circles turned red, "My sister is back, come to the mansion quickly, come to the mansion quickly, mother is waiting."

A group of people entered the mansion together, and went straight to the residence of Mrs. Su in the inner courtyard of the back house, the Changkang Courtyard.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Mrs. Su looked up at the word "Changkang" hanging on the gate of the courtyard, her eyes became wet again... Changkang, health and longevity, this has a very good meaning.She didn't have this name when she came back last time. It can be seen that her mother has been in poor health for these years, so the brothers and sisters-in-law changed this name.

Wiping the corners of her eyes, Su Shi strode in, walking on the corridor of the middle room, through the curtain, Su Shi saw the silver-haired old mother stretching her neck and looking out.

Mother is looking forward to her...

Mrs. Su let go of Mrs. Su's hand, and walked two steps quickly. Before the maid came forward, she lifted the curtain, rushed over, knelt in front of Mrs. Su's knees, said mother, and burst into tears uncontrollably. wow...

"Mother, the unfilial daughter came back to see you..."

Mrs. Su embraced Mrs. Su, and hugged her only daughter, tears streaming down her eyes...

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back, I can look at you again, mother will have no regrets." Mrs. Su pointed to the back room: "Go, tell your father, and make him happy too."

Su Clan was startled, but still got up and went into the back room according to the words. When he saw the portrait of his father hanging on the wall on the north side of the back room, his eyes were sore and uncomfortable.

Mrs. Su also followed in and told her the reason in a low voice.

After Mrs. Su died of illness, the old lady was depressed and her health became worse and worse.The old lady believed in Buddhism, so she invited the eminent monks in the temple to come to the house to talk about the Buddha's enlightenment.Soon after, a portrait of the old man was hung in this room, and the old lady would tell the story of the house to the portrait every day, just like when the old man was still there.It was only later that an incense burner was placed in front of the portrait. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, there was always incense burning. Sometimes the old lady dreamed of the old man at night, and she would burn incense and say a few words when she got up early.

Su sniffed, everyone knew that his father was afraid of guilt, but they didn't know that his father and mother were actually very loving.My father often said that internal fear is not fear, but a way of expressing love.

After burning the incense, she kowtowed to the portrait again, and then Mrs. Su went outside again, but saw Ning'er leaning beside Mrs. Su, talking about some things she had seen and heard in Beijing. There were no tears on her mother's face, but His eyes narrowed with a smile.

very nice.

I can see my mother's smile again.It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to see this smile for a few days, and when I leave, my mother may have to be sad for a while.
