Chapter 325 5 Brother, I'm back
Hearing the guard's words, the other guards immediately surrounded him.
"Is he really the fifth master of the Xiao clan?"
"How could it be fake? There is only one Jamel Xiao in Wutong County!"
"This is the most handsome man in Wutong County!"
"He is also the happiest elder. Every member of the Xiao clan is extremely filial to him."
Jamel Xiao in the carriage: "......"
What exactly did his fellow tribesmen do to make him so famous in the county?
Seeing the guards craning their necks to look towards the carriage, wanting to catch a glimpse of his true face, Xiao Jingxuan hurriedly moved closer to Ye Tang.
"Madam, I'm afraid they will eat me."
Ye Tang patted his arm gently: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Xiao Jingxuan did not get off the carriage. The guards did not see him, but they did not stop him. The team slowly entered the county town.
What comes into view are rows of newly built shops and houses.
There are also countless vendors setting up stalls.
Oh, in addition to these, there are also quite a few foreign businessmen.
The carriage continued to move forward, and Ye Tang saw a newly built street.
There are a lot of green plants planted on both sides of the street. It is the time when autumn flowers are in full bloom, and flowers of various colors are blooming brightly, which is beautiful beyond words.
Walking further inside, Ye Tang saw some familiar figures.
They are villagers of Qingquan Village and Wenggang Village.
"Husband, I saw Uncle Bai Hao. He opened a braised food shop in the county town." Ye Tang looked outside through the car window: "Ah, that's Aunt Zhao!"
"I saw Yongyu!" Xiao Jingxuan also looked at the street and said, "The little girl went into the jewelry store. Who was the man with her?"
Xiao Wenye took a glance and said, "It's her husband."
"When did she get married?"
"Before I went to Beijing to take the exam, she had already made an engagement with someone. The wedding date is this June."
Taohua, Lihua and Tanyun were in another carriage. When they saw the familiar people on the street through the window, the two sisters looked happy.
"We're almost home. We'll soon see our parents and brother!"
The team passed through Chashu Town and set out on the road leading to Qingquan Village and Wenggang Village. Ye Tang discovered that a road was being built here.
The road construction team was very large, and there were several familiar people among them.
"Husband, look, isn't that Wen Chao?"
Ye Tang pulled Xiao Jingxuan and pointed at a person behind the rocks.
"It's him!" Jamel Xiao immediately stopped the carriage: "Iron Hammer and Dashu are also here."
The team stopped, and Su Yinghuai asked in confusion: "What happened?"
Xiao Wenye, who was in the same car with him, said, "Master Su, there are people from the Xiao clan among those who are repairing the road."
Upon hearing this, Su Yinghuai also got off the carriage.
Xiao Wenye followed behind him.
"Everyone be careful and pay attention to safety." Xiao Wenchao commanded in an orderly manner: "There is a team coming, everyone stop and make way, wait for them to pass, and then continue working."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly paused.
This road leads to Qingquan Village and Wenggang Village. It is rare to see such a team of hundreds of people. Where did this team come from?
He was wondering when he suddenly heard a shout.
"Wen Chao, Iron Hammer, Big Tree!"
This familiar voice brought Xiao Wenchao back to his senses instantly.
"Sixth Grandfather!?"
Everyone who was busy working immediately looked towards that team.
The handsome Xiao Jingxuan was seen carefully supporting the pregnant Ye Tang as he walked over, followed by Xiao Wenye and an old man with an extraordinary temperament.
"It's really Sixth Grandpa!"
"And Sixth Grandma!"
"Wen Ye, Wen Ye is back!"
Xiao Wenchao, Xiao Tiechui and Xiao Dashu excitedly put down what they were holding and ran over quickly.
"Sixth Grandpa, you're back!"
"Wenye, I heard that you passed the imperial examination and became the third place in the imperial examination!"
"Sixth Grandma, are you about to give birth?"
Jamel Xiao: "The baby is still two months away, why are you building roads here?"
Xiao Tiechui smiled and said, "This road was built with money from our Xiao clan. The road before was too bad, full of potholes, and it hurt to walk on it. It was also very bumpy when riding in a horse-drawn carriage or ox-drawn cart. Half a year ago, the clan leader took the two elders to the county to watch the temple fair. He vomited on this road and felt uncomfortable for several days. So, the clan unanimously decided to collect some money to repair the road."
Xiao Wenchao followed up, "The clan leader said that since this road was built with money from our Xiao clan, we must supervise it carefully and nothing can go wrong."
Xiao Dashu said: "We are just supervisors and don't do any work most of the time. We can learn a lot from building roads."
The most tiring work is done by the able-bodied men.
Xiao Wenchao and his friends had endless things to say at this moment. Suddenly, Xiao Wenchao turned his gaze and looked at Su Yinghuai.
Xiao Wenchao was shocked: "You, you..."
Ye Tang smiled and said, "He is my grandfather, you should call him Grandpa Su."
Xiao Wenye also hurriedly said: "Yes, Master Su is Sixth Grandma's maternal grandfather, a relative."
He winked at Xiao Wenchao.
Xiao Wenchao quickly stopped what he was about to say, his eyes filled with uncontrollable surprise and astonishment.
"Yes, yes, yes, he is Sixth Grandmother's grandfather. I have met him in Beijing." He said, and bowed to Su Yinghuai as a junior: "Junior Xiao Wenchao greets Grandpa Su."
He had already recognized him. This was the Imperial Teacher. He had seen the Imperial Teacher in the Pingshan Palace. Although he didn't know why the Imperial Teacher had suddenly become Sixth Grandma's grandfather, the identity of the Imperial Teacher could not be revealed casually. No matter how curious he was, he could not ask too many questions.
Seeing Xiao Wenchao saluting, Xiao Tiechui and the others quickly suppressed their surprise and saluted Su Yinghuai as juniors.
Su Yinghuai nodded slightly, telling them not to be so polite.
Xiao Jingxuan smiled and said, "It's getting late. We have to go back to the village. You guys continue to work."
Xiao Tiechui and a few others watched the team go away.
"Sixth Grandpa is really back."
"Sixth Grandma is pregnant."
"Wen Ye passed the exam and got third place."
"There's going to be a wedding in the clan!"
“Both villages will be bustling.”
"Oh, right." Xiao Tiechui suddenly changed the subject and looked at Xiao Wenchao: "Why didn't Grandpa Peng and Uncle Ping'an come back?"
Xiao Wenchao shook his head: "I don't know, maybe I'm too busy and don't have time to come back. The capital is very complicated."
......
The eldest wife of the Xiao family.
All the young people in the family went to work in the fields, leaving only the old couple and two servants, Wen Kuan and Liu Yun, at home to take care of the young children and the pregnant woman.
"Old man, would you like to have some rice cakes? They're freshly made and still hot." Liu Yun walked up to Old Master Xiao Wu and said softly.
Master Xiao Wu lazily leaned on the recliner, feeling the autumn breeze and not wanting to move: "No, you guys eat it."
Seeing that he looked weak, Mrs. Zeng asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Master Xiao Wu pouted and said, "Old Six has been gone for two years. I just dreamed of him during my nap. He was beaten up. I wanted to save him, but I couldn't beat those people... I'm old and useless. I can't even protect my younger brother."
Old Madam Zeng rolled her eyes at him and said, "You have this kind of dream every now and then, and when you wake up you start to think about all sorts of things. I told you not to think about it, but you kept thinking about it. How could Old Six be bullied when he's so powerful? It's good enough that he doesn't bully others."
"Ugh!"
"Stop complaining all the time, it's so annoying!" Old Mrs. Zeng fanned him.
Master Xiao Wu closed his eyes and continued to sigh.
"Old lady, do you think we can see Lao Liu before we die?"
There was silence in response to him.
"Old woman, you are so silent."
After a while, a voice sounded in the ears of Master Xiao Wu.
"Fifth brother, I'm back!"
