Chapter 470
The pier, which used to be quiet in the past, was only lively for a while when the fishing boats returned in the evening, but today it is completely boiling.
Although it was only a few months away from home, although it was only a ten-day flight from Quanzhou, everyone still couldn't help but miss their hometown and their relatives.
Almost as soon as the diving board was lowered, the boatman in charge of tying the rope was surrounded by crowds, "Brother, how is everything in Quanzhou?"
"Yes, did something important happen? Was it raining a lot before?"
The boatman grinned, showing his white teeth, and the skin on his face became darker, "Okay, okay, the family is fine. It seems that many people have brought things and letters, and they are all at the steward's place. You can see them in a while. "
"really?"
"Oh, that's great."
Cheng Dayou was the second one to get off the boat, and just hearing this, he yelled loudly, "There are the family members of the master's family on the boat, so don't run into each other. Hurry up and help move things, your letters are indispensable. I'll send you a letter when you're done. go down!"
"Okay, I'll listen to the Chief Manager, help me quickly!"
Cheng Dayou was in charge of recruiting people from Quanzhou at the beginning, and now he is running back and forth between Quanzhou and Taoyuan Island. He has some prestige among the crowd, and dispersed them with a shout.
Ding Wei also heard Cheng Dayou's words, and as soon as he came to him, she asked first, "Who is on the same boat?"
Cheng Dayou insisted on kneeling and kowtowing, and then replied, "Return to the master, it is the second uncle and wife and the three young masters and young ladies who have arrived."
"Quick, hurry up and welcome them down."
Ding Wei hurriedly drove Bai Zhu and Ji Jiao to the boat to pick them up, and soon Bai Shu hugged a little girl, while Ji Jiao led Da Bao and Fu'er off the boat one by one, followed by Dong Shi who helped the maid's hand, one step at a time step off the board.
I haven't seen each other for a few months, not to mention that Yu'er has grown up a lot, even Dabao and Fu'er have lost their original childishness, and their little faces are a little more mature.Of course, the one who has changed the most is Mrs. Dong. The girl who was only 20 years old, when she first married into the Ding family, was still fat as a baby, but now she is so skinny that her eye sockets are deeply sunken.
Ding Wei couldn't help the red eyes any longer, and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I made you suffer."
"Wow, auntie!"
Before Mrs. Dong could speak, Dabao and Fu'er had rushed into Ding Wei's arms like two small cannonballs, "Auntie, I miss you. Woohoo, Auntie, Daddy is gone!"
"Auntie, Dabao thought you didn't want us anymore, and you left like your parents."
"No, no!" Ding Wei patted the backs of the two children, tears streaming down her cheeks.The sudden change in the family was hard for even her to accept, not to mention the two children, it must be inevitable to leave trauma in their hearts.
Dong Shi stood aside wiping tears, originally wanted to smile and salute, but the tears couldn't be stopped no matter what.
Ding Wei grabbed her hand and said with a choked voice, "It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here. That day someone went to the farm to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to go to the city, and it was too late to find you. Now we are reunited again, It's a good thing, a good thing."
Baizhu Platycodonae and Cheng Niangzi also stepped forward to comfort them, "Master, it's windy at the beach, so it's not good to shed tears, and be careful of eye pain. The days are still long, let's go back to Shibao and talk about it."
Ding Wei wiped away her tears, and reached out to touch Dabao and Fuer's clothes, which were a little soaked. It was obvious that they were not used to the scorching sun of Taoyuan Island, so she hurriedly greeted, "Let's go home and talk about it later."
After finishing speaking, she glanced at the second child who was hugging her father's thigh tightly, and then ordered, "Sister Cheng stay and watch someone carry the second lady's luggage back."
Mrs. Dong came from the capital with her three children, so she had to avoid people's eyes and ears, and she didn't dare to bring more luggage, even a few boxes were bought in Quanzhou, so there was no need for Sister-in-law Cheng to take care of them.Everyone knew that this was an excuse from the master to let the family of three get together for a while longer.
So, everyone smiled and waved their hands, and finally surrounded the master and son, Ding's mother and son, and went back to the stone castle.
The road back to Shibao is not long, only two miles away.The sliding poles that had been prepared for a long time were brought over. Ding Wei hugged Yu'er for a fight, Dong Shi for a fight, and Dabao and Fu'er for a fight.Each sliding pole was carried by two men, and they walked slowly through the beach, forest, and farmland, and finally arrived in front of the stone castle.
Dong was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. When she thought about it, even if my sister-in-law didn't know how to eat and sleep in the open, she wouldn't be too comfortable.After all, when I ran away in that situation, there was no time to arrange it in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, the small island is no different from any farm in the inland.If there is a difference, it is that the stone castle is stronger and more powerful than the brick building, the weather is hotter, and women and children wear fewer clothes...
After being able to enter the stone castle, everyone lowered their poles in the courtyard. Mrs. Dong glanced at the lush flowers and trees around, as well as tables and chairs for sitting, swings for children to play, and a path paved with round stones the size of a fist. There was a sense of peace and comfort in everything, and the admiration in her heart became stronger.
Because they were relatives and relatives, everyone went directly to the third floor. The entire first floor was only occupied by Ding Wei's mother, son and maids, so it was very spacious.
In the small flower hall, everyone took their seats, and the brightly colored seashells inlaid on the tables and chairs provoked Dabao and Fu'er to keep looking at them, and even reached out to touch them.
Although Dong tried her best to endure, she couldn't hide the curiosity in her eyes.
Ding Wei saw Baizhu and Platycodon grandiflora busy serving tea, snacks and fruits, and said with a smile, "There are no outsiders in the room, so sister-in-law can talk to each other if she has anything to say."
Dong's face turned red, but she still asked, "Could it be that my aunt foresaw this catastrophe many years ago, and prepared this escape route in advance?"
Ding Wei peeled off the mangosteen in her hand, and put the small garlic cloves in a green lotus leaf dish, which was very cute and mouth-watering.
She wiped her hands, handed it to Mrs. Dong, and said, "Sister-in-law, this is a special fruit on the island. Try it, it tastes very good."
Dong took it, and subconsciously put it in front of Dabao and Fu'er. Finally, remembering that she was a little rude, she quickly explained, "Sister, I'm not...I'm just used to it..."
Ding Wei took her hand, her eyes were red with sourness.Although she wasn't in the capital and didn't know how they lived in Dong's house, she could tell from the moment they met.Mrs. Dong must protect the three children with all her heart, there is food, and it has become a habit for the first child to be given, so much bitterness and suffering in it...
"Sister-in-law, our Ding family married you into the door, it is really a spirit in our ancestors."
Thinking of Ding's second child who was wandering somewhere, Mrs. Dong finally broke out the panic and helplessness she had endured for so long, "Wuuuuuuuuuuuu, Yu'er's father is gone. We have been at Dong's house...just can't find him." I don’t know whether he is alive or dead, it’s all my fault... If I don’t leave the shop, I’ll be with him.”
Big tears flowed from Dong's bird's nest, quickly soaking her skirt.Although her voice was not high, everyone could hear the many meanings contained in it.
Dabao and Fu'er quickly dropped the mangosteen in their hands, hugged Dong's arms from left to right, and looked at the people very vigilantly. At last, perhaps remembering that they are now with their aunt, they loosened their stiff backs.
Sister-in-law Cheng "took care" of the luggage at the seaside, and only Baizhu and Platycodon grandiflora in the house were familiar with Mrs. Dong. As for sister-in-law Zhao and Lady Bai, they had only met a few times, so it was difficult to persuade them.
After finally waiting for Baizhu and Jijiao, they frantically stopped everyone's tears, and they were all sweating from their busy schedule.
Kikyo said, "Oh, master, I can't cry anymore. The second wife and the young masters are all wearing thick clothes, and heatstroke will be a bad thing after a while. Change into thin clothes quickly, let's go upstairs to enjoy the cool and eat fruit .”
Seeing that the faces of the children were all flushed, Ding Wei hurriedly said, "Go find some clothes and change them."
At this moment, Forsythia and Danggui came upstairs, both flushed with heat.
When people meet each other, it is unavoidable to pay respects and talk intimately.After a long stay, she changed her clothes and drank some herbal tea, but Lianqiao looked at Mrs. Dong and hesitated to speak.
Ding Wei guessed that she didn't dare to speak, for fear that Mrs. Dong would be frightened when she first came to the island.
But Ding Wei has great confidence in this sister-in-law. It is not something a weak woman can do to protect herself and the three children of the Ding family in such a chaotic time.
"Let's talk about it, the second lady will live on the island for a long time. This matter cannot be hidden, and there is no need to hide it."
Hearing the master's words, Lian Qiao lost her scruples and started talking, "Master, we didn't sail there to investigate. It's really right. You don't know, there are quite a lot of pirates. There are two or three hundred people. There is no hair on the top of the head, and the clothes they are wearing are also weird. General Chu said that they may be from the East Island. When we went, they were lighting a fire on the island. There were fish, rabbits, and... um, in short, they were enjoying the meal Woolen cloth."
Forsythia probably wanted to say that the pirates still roasted the natives, but she took it back because she feared that there would be children in the house.
While peeling the mangosteens for the two children, Dang Gui continued, "The third general can understand some Dongdao dialect because he often traveled to Dongdao before. It seems that those pirates said that there are a lot less natives, so they have to look around the island in the past few days. Is there any change in the above. The three generals said that we must be prepared, and I am afraid that there will be a war in the next few days."
Ding Wei heard these words a little weird, but before she had time to think about it, Dong said, "Before I took the child out of Beijing this time, Mr. Fang found me and gave me a lot of gold and silver. Swords, guns and weapons have all been brought in this time. It just so happens that the island is not peaceful, so it came in handy."
Lian Qiao smiled and said, "Young Master Fang likes to be lively the most. This place is too far away from the capital, otherwise he would have to rush to join the battle."
Dong didn't know what she thought of, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Young Master Fang must not be here, but someone is here to look for you."
"Me?" Lian Qiao responded, widening her eyes curiously.She was originally an orphan, but she grew up in a dark camp, and she has been serving her master all the time, and she doesn't know any outsiders, so why did someone come looking for her.
Dang Gui was also curious, so he couldn't help but ask, "Second Madam, who is looking for Forsythia?"
