Cui Er carried the big bag? Nanxin carefully walked off the boat along the plank. The big boat behind him was a passenger ship sailing between Dengzhou, Sia and Jincheng. This is a small port town not far from Jincheng. Most of the merchants who disembarked with him were merchants who came to Jincheng from Dengzhou or Sia. Most of these merchants were Han Chinese, and there were also a small number of Hu merchants from the sea, but there were no local merchants from Sanhan.

Cui Er carried his luggage and carefully avoided the merchants around him, so as not to cause trouble. After all, no matter whether it is Han or Hu, he can't provoke him, especially after working abroad for nearly a year. Finally, it made him even more in awe of these merchants from other places.

After getting off the boat, Cui Er found a large carriage to transport goods to Jincheng, gave the owner a few copper coins, and finally got the other party to agree to take him to Jincheng. Speaking of which, this small port town is not far from Jincheng. In other words, it is probably more than a day's journey. In the past, Cui Er might have walked back, but now he is not short of the money, so he took a ride.

The owner of the car is also from Jincheng, he is not young, his hair and beard are all white, after asking Cui Er, he found out that the owner of the car, surnamed Zheng, is over 60, and used to be a driver for a nobleman in Jincheng, driving the car with one hand The workmanship is very exquisite, but later that nobleman went to Sia, the old man Zheng was getting old, and he didn't want to be too far away from home, so he resigned from the master's house, bought a carriage with his previous savings, and has been relying on help Shipping with someone else.

"Uncle Zheng, what kind of goods are you pulling on this cart? Auntie? It can't be canned food from the cannery, right?" Cui Er asked curiously, and couldn't help but say " He licked his lips. When he was working outside for the master, he could occasionally eat these cans. The delicious taste is still unforgettable for him. Capital Datang 5

After hearing this, Uncle Zheng said in amazement: "From your accent, little brother, you should be from Jincheng. But you don't seem to be very familiar with Jincheng? Is it the one pulled by the truck that came out of Jincheng?" Canned food, and the truck back to Jincheng is usually full of empty cans?"

Cui Er only understood when he heard that it was a canned food bottle, no wonder it sounded similar to canned food, then he immediately said to Uncle Zheng with a smile: "To tell you the truth, Uncle Zheng, the boy was recruited by the master to work outside last year, and he just came back today. So I don't know much about things in Jincheng."

Hearing that Cui Er had just come back from outside, Uncle Zheng thought it was no wonder, last year there was a famine in middle school, thanks to the Han people who let them trade their work for food, this allowed many people to survive, and Cui Er must be one of them. But Zheng Uncle worked as a coachman for a noble family back then, so there was no shortage of food in the family, and he didn't know much about this matter, so he didn't know that at the beginning, recruiting workers had to sign a contract for at least three years, and even signed a ten-year contract. If you are dissatisfied, you can't come back. But Cui Er came back after working for less than a year, which is really strange?

Through the conversation with Uncle Zheng, Cui Er has a lot of understanding of the changes in Jincheng over the past year. For example, according to Uncle Zheng, because the population near Jincheng is relatively dense, many Han merchants have established factories nearby, and Most of them are Yixin weaving factories and food processing factories. The jobs here are not heavy, and generally only women are recruited, and the men who happened to be near Jincheng died in battle. The rest of the workers who went out to work were some women, plus Life is difficult in the world, so these women work in factories. Although they don't earn much, they can support themselves and their families.

Uncle Zheng lived by transporting all kinds of raw materials and products to the factories. Generally speaking, when he came out of Jincheng, his carriage was loaded with products from various factories, but when he came back, he was carrying all kinds of raw materials. , such as today's canning jars.

Jincheng was not far from the sea, and the road under their feet had become a flat concrete road, which allowed Uncle Zheng to let go of his horse and run quickly, so they returned to Jincheng in less than half a day.

After bidding farewell to Uncle Zheng, Cui Er immediately rushed home without stopping. After all, he had been away from home for almost a year. The child made him even more anxious.

Cui Er's house is not far from the city gate. After entering the city from the main gate of Jincheng, walk 200 meters forward and you will arrive. When I was in Beijing, the two brothers opened a tavern with this shop to support their family. Unfortunately, the elder brother was arrested and served as a soldier. Last year, there was a famine. In exchange for food, give to the family's wives and children.

It is already dinner time, and the people of all families in the city are preparing dinner, and there are many fewer pedestrians on the street. When Cui Er arrived not far from home, he met many former neighbors, but these neighbors When they saw Cui Er came back, they all had incredible expressions on their faces. After all, some people in their family were working outside, so they knew very well that the men who went out would not come back for three to five years.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the neighbors, Cui Er seemed a little proud, and waved his hand to greet the neighbors. At this time, the neighbors also came to their senses, and came back to ask Cui Er how he came back? The man went out with Cui Er, so they gathered around him to inquire about the situation of the man at home. All of a sudden, these people gathered together, Cui Er's head was getting big because of the quarrel, and he was in a hurry to go home. So I don’t want to go into details, but I was surrounded by neighbors?

Finally, a highly respected old man said with a smile: "Cui Er came home with great difficulty. He must be in a hurry to see his daughter-in-law. There is no way for everyone to surround him like this. I think we should wait until Cui Er returns home. It's not too late to ask!"

The neighbors are also reasonable people. After hearing what the old man said, they all laughed and let out the way, while Cui Er made a bow to everyone: "Don't worry, neighbors, what do you want to ask?" You can go to my house. As for the elder brothers who went out with me, they are all very fast, and they all asked me to bring letters back. You can go to my house later??

As soon as Cui Er finished speaking, the neighbors who were eager to know the situation of the man at home immediately calmed down, but before they could thank Cui Er, Cui Er turned around and rushed home.

It was still far away from home, and Cui Er came home with a puff of cooking smoke, which finally put his heart at ease. During the year he was away from home, what he was most worried about was the situation at home. After all, apart from the old mother, there are only two women in the family, wife and sister-in-law, and three children are also taken care of. If something happens, there is not even a man who can do it.

The shop of Cui Er's family is still closed. After all, their brothers are not here, and the restaurant at home is not taken care of, so naturally they will not open for business, but a door next to the restaurant is ajar. This door leads directly to the backyard, where they The family lives, and the restaurant is in front of it.

Cui Er went to the door of the house to have a look, and touched the elm door with all the paint peeled off. The crack on it was still the same as when he left. The big bag? 砹蠹色? Then excitedly pushed open the door and walked in.

Through a narrow corridor, you will soon come to the backyard where you live. This yard is not very big. There is a main room in the middle, where Cui Er's mother and eldest brother and sister-in-law live. On the left is a wing room. There lived Cui Er and his wife, and the side room was facing a small shed with a stove in the shed, and a woman inside was cooking.

The "woman" who was cooking heard Cui Er's footsteps, and immediately turned her head, only to see a very familiar face, which made the "woman" stunned for a while, and after a while Sobbing, he said, "Cui...Cui Er, you...how did you come back?"

This "woman" is Cui Er's daughter-in-law, and she didn't get any information beforehand, so when she saw Cui Er, she was so surprised, and even trembled when she spoke. Capital Datang 364

And Cui Er was also very excited, dragging a big bag? ChenYi Yong? Excitedly asked his wife: "What about our mother, how are the children, why didn't you see sister-in-law?"

"My mother and children are doing well, and they are all in the house now. My sister-in-law has gone to work in a textile factory outside the city, and she will be back soon!" said Cui Er's daughter-in-law, helping to unload Cui Er's things. After getting down, he took a closer look at his man, and when he found that Cui Er was not missing any arms or legs, he felt relieved, and at the same time, thinking of the man's return, his face flushed with excitement.

At this time, Cui's mother and the child in the room also heard the movement outside, and the three children hugged Cui's mother and squeezed out together, just in time to see Cui Er standing in the well, which made the old man very happy, leaning on the The walking stick stepped forward to look at his son, he was so excited that he couldn't even speak, but when Cui Er's son saw him, he immediately yelled "Daddy" and rushed forward.

A family reunion naturally has endless things to talk about. Among them, what makes Cui's mother and Cui's second daughter-in-law the most curious is that Cui Er clearly signed a three-year construction period with the main family, but now it is less than a year. He just came back, which obviously made people wonder, and even Cui's mother asked her son worriedly, did he sneak back?

Regarding this question, Cui Er was not in a hurry to answer, but said that it would not be too late to wait for the sister-in-law to come back, and then took out the fabrics bought for the old lady from the bag, and the daughter-in-law and sister-in-law also had a share, and the other three children. Snacks also took up a burden, which made the three children extremely happy.

After sharing the presents, Cui Er asked his daughter-in-law to cut some meat and stir-fry some meat dishes. In addition, Cui Er's daughter-in-law specially ordered some wine. When Cui Er's sister-in-law came back, I was also taken aback, and said a few words about home? The family sat together for a reunion dinner, but Cui's mother and the two daughters-in-law were very curious about Cui Er's sudden return, so they didn't eat a few mouthfuls , and asked Cui Er the reason again.

ps: Sorry, I have something to do today, so Chapter 2 may be released later, you can watch it the next morning.
