Chapter 417 Return (2)
Chapter 417 Return (2)
Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but twitch her lips. Could this man be more realistic? They had clearly met several times in Xiangxue Village. How could he not recognize Brother Yang?
Tsk, men are really childish at heart!
However, since the other party wanted to act, she, as his fiancée, had to give him some face and cooperate. So she introduced him very solemnly:
"This is Brother Yang Zi'an, who runs a medicinal materials business. He took great care of me in Xiangxue Village. Brother Yang has made a great contribution to Xiangxue Village's current prosperity!"
There was no water in her words, they were all from the bottom of her heart, but Yang Zian smiled bitterly after hearing them.
I hope the little girl won’t be disappointed when she sees these villages nowadays…
Xuanyuan Yan remained silent and continued to wait for the person in front of him to introduce himself.
Shangguan Qingyue glanced at the other party, coughed lightly, and continued with slightly red ears:
"Hey, that Brother Yang, this is Prince Yong'an. Uh, my fiancé."
After hearing this, the man finally relaxed his brows and greeted Yang Zian like a modest gentleman.
It was already late, so everyone got on their carriages and headed for Xiangxue Village.
Li Dali came driving a donkey cart. Xiao Shitou and Zhou Xiaonan insisted on riding with Shangguan Qingyue since they saw her.
So, Xuanyuan Yan took the initiative to get on Yang Zian's carriage, and the three little ones squeezed together.
As for Li Daniu, he knew at a young age that he had to be careful about the differences between men and women, so he still rode in his father's donkey cart.
In the carriage, Shangguan Qingyue couldn't wait to ask again:
"Xiao Nan, Xiao Shitou, didn't you two follow Grandpa Nanrong to practice medicine? Why are you back in Xiangxue Village?"
The two of them looked at each other like little adults, and then Zhou Xiaonan said:
"Don't worry, sister. It was... it was my grandmother who accidentally fell while climbing the mountain. To be on the safe side, my mother asked Daniu to write me a letter.
The master also returned to the village and instructed me to treat my grandmother. Don't worry, the master and I are here..."
"cough……!"
The kid coughed heavily, Zhou Xiaonan shook his head in amusement and added:
"And Anle, with the three of us here, grandma will be fine."
A small hand gently stroked the back of Shangguan Qingyue's hand, and said in a still childish but mature voice:
"Don't worry, Ruoxi. I promise to make sure Grandma is back to being as energetic as before!"
Reaching out and pinching the little guy's chubby cheeks, Shangguan Qingyue sighed softly.
"You are a little kid under seven years old. Why should you be responsible for adult matters? You are still a child. I hope you can have a happy childhood."
Although it was the first time that Xiao Shitou heard the word "childhood", he immediately understood its meaning.
He was born precocious and mature. In fact, most people around him naturally regarded him as a little adult. Only Ruoxi still remembered that he was a child.
Sniffing, Little Stone nodded obediently.
"Okay, Ruoxi doesn't want me to worry too much, so I will continue to be a carefree child!"
Today's roads are paved with fine gravel, and mud mixed with glutinous rice is seeped into the gaps, making them solid and smooth.
The carriage traveled very smoothly and quickly on this road, so it arrived at the village in just over half an hour.
In late autumn and early winter, the village that was once full of flowers has become bare, and even the clusters of wood sorrel on the ground have produced seeds and no longer bloom.
The pear trees planted on both sides of the road were now as thick as wrists. The fruits on them had long been picked clean, and they swayed lightly in the cold wind.
Shangguan Qingyue lifted the car curtain and watched with great interest.
There were often distinguished people visiting the village in horse-drawn carriages, so their group did not attract anyone's attention.
Quite a few people recognized Yang Zian's carriage, and from time to time someone would come over to say hello, but they didn't say much, and would leave tactfully after a few pleasantries.
Xuanyuan Yan looked at the person who lowered the car curtains and sat back down, and said in an ambiguous tone:
"It seems that Brother Yang has a high reputation in these villages. I think he has gained a lot of benefits for everyone."
After saying this, Yang Zian showed a complicated expression. He thought for a moment and said:
"When it comes to benefiting the people, little...Sister Shangguan is the one who has made the greatest contribution.
If she hadn't persuaded me earnestly, I would never have thought of renting wasteland in the village to grow medicinal herbs.
There is almost no wasteland in the village nowadays. All of it is planted with crops or medicinal herbs. Add to that the fruit trees, and there are treasures everywhere.”
"This is a good thing, but Brother Yang doesn't sound happy about it. Why is that?"
Yang Zian sighed lightly, raised his head and looked at the man in front of him with extraordinary bearing, and said seriously:
"I was just about to tell you, Your Highness, about this matter in advance. Today, Xiangxue Village and even the surrounding villages have begun to change.
I’m afraid it’s hard to see the peaceful life, friendship and mutual assistance that Sister Shangguan longs for…”
Zhao has always been efficient in doing things. Even though she has broken her leg, she still can't just sit at home and wait.
After lunch, she sat outside the gate with the help of Li. Although she didn't know when her long-awaited granddaughter would arrive, she still stared at the direction of the village entrance and refused to listen to anyone's advice.
Therefore, she was the first to notice the carriage coming this way.
"Xiaomei, look quickly, could those horse-drawn carriages be Xiaoxi and his friends? I vaguely saw a donkey cart behind the horse-drawn carriages, so Dali and his friends must be back!"
As she spoke excitedly, she struggled to stand up with the help of crutches.
Li, who was standing by, had no time to look at the carriage and advised anxiously:
"Mom, don't worry, be careful with your legs!"
The carriage was still some distance away from them, but a black shadow suddenly jumped off the carriage and rushed over like a gust of wind.
Then a man leaned out of the car window and said urgently:
"General Black, stop howling like a wolf!"
The open mouth closed abruptly, the black wolf glanced back resentfully, and then continued to run forward.
Zhao's face was full of wrinkles from smiling, and she happily opened her arms to welcome the black wolf.
Li was terrified by what she saw and quickly stood behind her mother to help her support her body.
In Xiangxue Village, there was a period of time when Black Wolf was kept at home and could not go anywhere. At that time, it was basically Zhao who took care of its eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, meticulously and considerately.
The black wolf was just like an ordinary wolfhound, wagging its tail happily and circling around Zhao.
It seemed to know that the old man in front of it had difficulty walking, so it would rather roll on the ground with its tongue sticking out than rub against the other person.
The second person who came running over was Shangguan Qingyue.
The carriage was slowing down, and she couldn't wait any longer, so she jumped off, picked up her skirt and ran as fast as she could.
He kept shouting loudly:
"Grandma, Mom, I miss you so much!"
