Chapter 93: Fear of close proximity and tears of loved ones

The carriage bumped along the road for twenty-five days and arrived in Liuzhou on June 13th.

The Su family, who had received the news a long time ago, sent the house stewards to guard the city gate early.

As soon as the motorcade passed the city gate, they greeted them. After a brief greeting through the curtain, the group drove majestically to the Su family.

After the carriage drove in the city for more than half an hour, it turned into the street leading to the gate of the Su family's mansion. Once passing the city gate, Zhou Sining opened the curtains and looked outside. Although it was still some distance away from the Su family's mansion, it was still far away.

I could vaguely see the crowds at the door of the mansion, with many people standing there.

Mrs. Su leaned forward and glanced out of the window, then said, "Ning'er, our grandfather's house is in front of us. It's time to lower the curtains."

Zhou Sining stuck out her tongue and lowered the curtain as she was told. Along the way, Su allowed her to lift the curtain and look out, which was very rare.

Zhou Sining went to the old capital when he was eight years old. After returning to Beijing last year, he has been staying in the capital. Except for the one time he came to Liuzhou with his mother when he was a child, he has never been to Liuzhou again. After all these years, he only has the memory of his grandmother in his mind.

A vague imprint of kindness.

It is said that Zhou Sining did not have much impression, even the Su family was a little timid about being close to home. Since marrying into the Zhou family, she has only returned to Liuzhou twice, once to visit relatives after her wedding, and the other time when her father was seriously ill.

Rushing home.

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

It's not that she doesn't want to go back, or that her husband doesn't allow it, but it's just that we are far away, and a trip back and forth often takes two months. She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhou family and the head mother of the family, so how can she be away for two months.

Moreover, her mother also exchanged letters and did not allow her to reply easily.

This year is my mother's 60th birthday, and she has already decided to go back. I'm afraid this will be the last birthday she celebrates for her mother. Looking at the familiar faces at the door of the house, and those unfamiliar but familiar faces,

Su Shi's eyes were red.

"Sister, I'm really looking forward to having a sister..."

"Auntie, auntie is well..."

Listening to the friendly calls from outside the carriage, Mrs. Su couldn't help but shed tears. These are relatives. No matter how long we haven't seen each other, we still think about them, look forward to them, and long for them...

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

After doing the round ceremony, Zhou Sining's legs felt a little sore.

"Sister Ning'er, are your legs sore?" Looking at Zhou Sining's appearance, Su Jiu laughed out loud, pointed at the people next to her and said, "Don't look at them because they are tall, but they are all younger than you.

You're really doing such a good job...it's a big loss."

Zhou Sining pouted, his cheeks puffed up, and hummed: "My cousin is waiting for me. I will definitely complain to my eldest aunt when I enter the house later."

There are seven cousins ​​and one cousin in the Su family. Even though she has never met them, she knows them.

I also know that Cousin Su is trying to liven up the atmosphere.

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

When Su Jiu saw her mother coming with her arms raised, she hurriedly hid to the side while shouting: "Sister Ning'er is not kind. She will demolish the bridge before the river is over..."

Zhou Sining rolled his eyes and laughed out loud. He quickly stepped forward and hugged Mrs. Su's arm and said, "Auntie, thanks to my cousin's care along the way, Ning'er and her mother were able to eat delicious hot soup.

Hot rice, I can’t beat it, why don’t we remember it for my cousin first?”

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

Mrs. Su didn't really want to beat her son, but she was just responding to the situation to liven up the atmosphere. After hearing Zhou Sining's words, she immediately laughed out loud.

I often hear my son mention that this niece of the Zhou family has become more lively, smart and lovable as she grows up. It is really painful to see her today. I looked up at the sons in the crowd and felt extremely sad. Why didn't she?

Can I have a daughter?

Mrs. Su calmed down in the car for a while, and was about to get up. When she heard Zhou Sining's words, she immediately got off the carriage, walked forward quickly and said, "Sister-in-law..."

When Mrs. Su saw that Mr. Su's eyes were swollen, she felt sad and her eye circles turned red. "My sister is back. Come into the house quickly. Come into the house quickly. Mother is waiting."

The group of people led each other into the mansion and went straight to Changkang Courtyard, where Old Mrs. Su lived in the inner courtyard of the house.

Standing at the door of the courtyard, Mrs. Su looked up at the word Changkang hanging on the door, her eyes became wet again... Changkang, health and longevity, this has a great meaning. It was not this name when she came back last time, which shows that her mother

My health has been poor these years, so my brothers and sister-in-law changed my name to him.

Wiping the corners of her eyes, Mrs. Su strode inside and walked on the corridor of the middle room. Through the curtain, Mrs. Su saw an old mother with silver hair stretching her neck and looking out.

Mother is looking forward to her...

Mrs. Su let go of Mrs. Su's hand, walked two steps quickly, opened the curtain before the maid came forward, hurriedly ran over, knelt in front of Mrs. Su's knees, said something motherly, and burst into tears uncontrollably.

Wow straight away...

"Mom, my unfilial daughter is back to see you..."

Mrs. Su took Mrs. Su in her arms and hugged her only daughter, tears falling down...

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. I'll have no regrets if I can see you again." Old Mrs. Su pointed to the inner room and said: "Go, tell your father and make him happy too."

Mrs. Su was startled, but she still followed the instructions and got up and entered the back room. When she saw the portrait of her father hanging on the wall on the north side of the back room, her eyes felt extremely sore and uncomfortable.

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

After Mr. 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 from the temple to come to the house to talk about Buddhism and enlightenment. Soon after, a portrait of the old lady was hung in the room.

The wife would talk about the affairs of the house to the portrait every day, just like when the old man was still alive. Later, an incense burner was placed in front of the portrait. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the incense was always burning. Sometimes the old lady dreamed of the old man at night.

, I would also burn incense and recite a few words when I get up early.

Su sniffed. Everyone knew that her father was henpecked, but they didn't know that his father and mother were actually very loving. His father often said that henpecking was not fear, but an expression of love.

After lighting incense and kowtowing to the portrait, Mrs. Su walked outside again, only to see Ning'er leaning next to Mrs. Su talking about what she had seen in Beijing. There were no tears on her mother's face, but

He smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.

very nice.

I can see my mother's smile again. But I'm afraid this smile won't last for a few days. When I leave, my mother will probably have to be sad for a while.
