Chapter 475 Extra 3. My Wish

Lv Weixi was very happy. Because his parents said they would take him back to the mountains.

His elder and second brothers had lived in the mountains, and he was also his mother's son. The mountains were also their roots. How could he, Lv Weixi, not go and see it?

Especially when he heard his elder and second brothers talk about how the mountains were, he felt yearning. A few years ago, his mother said she wanted to go back to the mountains, but later because he was too young, she didn't go.

Until he was seven years old.

Ever since Lv Weixi heard his parents say they would take him back to the mountains, he had been making all kinds of preparations. He took his guards and entourage to the streets every day and bought a lot of things. He said he would give them to his cousins ​​and the children in the mountains.

Su Qing'an came secretly to see the youngest son.

This youngest son came a little unexpectedly.

Lv Bocheng had seen how miserable she was when she gave birth to Xiaoqi, and didn't want her to give birth again. But Wei Xi came unexpectedly, so she and Lv Bocheng kept him.

Thanks to this youngest son.

When Dabao and Xiaobao grew up, they both had their own ambitions. They had not been around them for many years and had left them. Xiaoqi also grew up and became like a lady. Lu Bocheng kept saying that Xiaoqi was not as fun as when she was a child.

Fortunately, they had a younger son, who ran and jumped around them, which made her and her husband have a lot of fun.

When Su Qingmei arrived at the younger son's room, she saw that he had driven all the servants out of the house and hid in the house to pack his luggage, not letting others interfere.

There were a lot of things spread on the bed, the table, and the floor. He was a small person, lying in a big box, throwing things out, and half of his body was stuck in the box.

Su Qingmei was afraid that he would fall headfirst into the box.

"What are you doing?"

"Huh?"

Lu Weixi heard the sound and just wanted to turn his head to look, but he fell into the box. Trapped in a pile of soft cloth, his limbs kept struggling, like a turtle floating on the water, flapping his limbs.

Su Qing'an laughed and hurried over to pick him up.

The little guy tore off the cloth on his head and face, puffed twice, and looked at his mother with a pout: "Mom, why are you walking without making any sound? You scared your son."

Still blame her?

Su Qing'an glared at him: "Are you destroying the house? The house is so messy."

"Hehe, I'm not destroying the house. I have to pack my luggage. Mom, come and see..."

He pulled Su Qing'an to a pile of things and rummaged through them.

"I'm going to take this flying wooden bird back to my uncle's cousins ​​to play with. My uncle gives me so many gifts every year, I want to bring gifts back for them too."

"And this jade pendant was given to me by someone else before. I'm going to take it back to my cousin Youning as a wedding gift... And this, a box that can sing by itself from overseas, I'm going to take it back to my grandparents..."

Su Qing'an had a headache after hearing this.

It's a good thing that the child knows how to be grateful, but with so many things, in addition to the gifts he wants to bring to everyone, he also brought almost everything in his room.

He insisted that they were all things he would use on a daily basis, even the pillow, which gave Su Qing'an a headache.

Patiently coaxed him: "We are going to many places this time, all the way south, stopping on the way, and sometimes we may have to stay in the wild. You bring so many things, your own luggage will take two or three cars, slowing down the team's journey. Do you think your father will beat you?"

Lv Weixi's buttocks tightened, his eyes widened, and he put his little hand behind his back to cover his buttocks.

Last time he fought with other children on the street, his father spanked him on the buttocks, it hurt so much.

Throwing herself into her mother's arms, she twisted her hair and acted like a spoiled child: "Mom, Dad is a prince. When a prince travels, he is always surrounded by people. He is so majestic. It's said in operas that when the emperor and princess travel, they even bring a cup to rinse their mouths and a table to eat. I don't have enough."

"Then are you an emperor or princess?"

Lv Weixi choked and turned to look at the things he had packed for several days. Can't he bring them?

He looked a little aggrieved.

Su Qing'an touched his little face: "We can travel light and easily. We can visit more places and see more scenery. Isn't it great?"

"Okay then." Lv Weixi listened to his mother and put away the things he had brought out.

After he packed up, Su Qing'an took him and Xiao Qi to follow the team.

Xiao Qi is fifteen years old this year. Dabao has been waiting for her for so many years. She will marry Dabao in two years. She has never been to the mountains since she was born and has been staying in Xuzhou. Su Qing'an and Lv Bocheng want to take her out for a walk.

When she gets married, she can't go out at will.

After the team left Xuzhou, Lv Weixi and Xiao Qi lifted the curtains to look at the scenery outside. Their eyes were full of novelty. The brother and sister could discuss a tree for a long time.

We walked and stopped along the way, and stopped to look at any beautiful scenery. Sometimes we missed the post station and had to stay in the wild. The two siblings were also very happy.

Heading south, we first went to Luzhou to see Dabao and stayed with Dabao for a few days.

Lv Bocheng followed Dabao to see his garrison and watch him train, and then Dabao took Wei Xi and Xiao Qi to race horses and go boating on the lake.

Xiao Qi was very happy. With his big brother, he was happy even if he did nothing. He had a smile on his face every day.

Lv Wei Xi followed his sister and received many gifts from his big brother. He also had a lot of fun every day.

Dabao wanted to keep Xiao Qi, but his parents said that Xiao Qi was still young and had to stay for another two years. Dabao felt sorry for Xiao Qi who had never been out of the house, so he helped to make arrangements along the way and let Xiao Qi play more outside with his parents.

After leaving Luzhou, the team went to Raozhou and stayed at Xiaobao's place for a few more days.

Ma Mingwen has passed away, but Cui Yuying is still alive. Every year, she would send many gifts to Wei Xi and her brother. This was the first time that Lu Weixi and her brother met her.

The two siblings accompanied Grandmother Cui for several days, making her happy every day.

Xiaobao has married. His daughter-in-law was introduced by Ma Mingwen. She is a member of Pei Nian's clan. She is a well-educated, dignified and generous woman. Su Qingmei and Lu Bocheng are very satisfied with her.

Now Xiaobao has a son and a daughter. The son is three years old and the daughter is one year old. Su Qingmei and Lu Bocheng like these two grandchildren very much. Listening to the grandchildren calling grandpa and grandma in a soft voice, they felt like eating honey in their hearts.

When leaving Raozhou, Xiaobao and his daughter-in-law came to see them off with their two children in their arms. The two children even chased their carriage and cried and hiccuped.

Su Qingmei almost softened her heart and stayed in Raozhou.

After leaving Raozhou, they went straight to Renzhou.

Su Qingsong is now the governor of Renzhou, and Su's father and mother also live in Renzhou with their eldest son.

When they arrived at the gate of Renzhou, Su Qingsong sent servants to the gate to pick them up. When they arrived in front of the mansion, Su's father and mother and others were already standing at the gate waiting for them.

"Dad, Mom!" Su Qing'an's eyes were hot when she saw Su's father and mother, and she rushed over, hugged them tightly and cried.

Su's father and mother also hugged her and cried.

It has been a few years since they last met in Xuzhou. Except for correspondence, they have not seen each other again.

"Xiaoqi, Xixi, come, grandma hug you. Our Xiaoqi has grown up, and Xixi has grown up so much."

"Grandpa, grandma."

"Hey, hey."

After entering the mansion, the relatives met and talked about their farewell.

Su's father and mother are both over 60 years old this year, but they look very energetic. The old couple said that the soil and water in the mountains nourish people. They didn't adapt well to living in Renzhou with their son, so they had to go back to the mountains to live for a period of time every year.

Su Qingliu's family also moved to Renzhou City and lived next to Qingsong.

Yaya also came. A few years ago, she married into an official family in Renzhou and became the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law. In recent years, she has also given birth to a son and a daughter, and lived a happy life.

After Su Qingliu married Wei Fuchang, she gave birth to two sons, Youning and Youan. Youning is eighteen years old this year and has been arranged to marry. Youning works with his uncle, while Youan works with Wei Fuchang to deal with the business affairs.

Later, Lu Bocheng established a business department, which mainly connected the business operations of Zhenhai, Yuedi, and Wudi, developed the local economy, and maintained the trade routes of several places, and handed this matter over to Wei Fuchang to manage.

Wei Fuchang settled his family in Renzhou City. When he usually ran back and forth between the mountains, Raozhou, Luzhou, Xuzhou and other places, his family was also taken care of by his wife's family.

After Su Qingsong's legs and feet recovered, he married another wife and later had a son and a daughter, both of whom were about the same age as Wei Xi.

Su Qingsong's eldest son, Su Yiteng, has been with Qingyang for many years. He is 19 years old this year, and Su Qingmei is also helping him find a partner.

Yiteng's sister, Nian Qiao, is now raised by Su's mother. She is also 13 years old. She hit it off with Xiaoqi at first sight, and the two cousins ​​soon became friends.

Su Qingmei accompanied Su's father and mother and Su Qingliu to live in Renzhou City for half a month.

Lv Weixi also went shopping and eating in Renzhou City for half a month accompanied by his cousins, and he enjoyed himself every day.

Not only did he go to see the pickle shop that his mother opened first, but he also went to see the cloth shop, which was the cloth shop where his mother and grandparents and others were separated and agreed to pass on the message.

The cloth shop is still there, but the shopkeeper has changed. I heard that it is the son of the original shopkeeper. I heard from my cousin that the shopkeeper had a big business in Renzhou City, and the cloth shop was half a street. Grandpa and grandma often went to take care of his business.

Lv Weixi also took his pocket money and bought a piece of cloth there to express his gratitude.

He came back and showed off to Su Qingmei, saying that he had repaid his mother's favor.

After living in Renzhou City for half a month, Su Qingmei said she wanted to go back to the mountains to have a look. Su's father and mother were reluctant to part with her, and they accompanied her back to the mountains.

Now only Su Dahu lives there in the mountains, and the other branches of the Su family have moved to Runzhou to live.

It was the first time for Lv Weixi and Xiaoqi to enter the mountains.

The two siblings were stunned when they saw the tall and thick village gate. It was built like a city gate. Is this really in the mountains?

I heard that this was built by my mother and the mountain people. My mother is so amazing.

"Dad, my mom is amazing, right?" Wei Xihou stood beside Lu Bocheng, looking proud.

Lu Bocheng smiled and touched his youngest son's head: "Dad has known your mom is amazing for a long time, why did you just know it?"

Lu Weixi saw his mother rolling her eyes at his father, hehe, mom must be embarrassed.

The group entered the gate of Xingeng Village, and the mountain people who got the news all ran over.

"Boss, boss, you are back?"

Su Qing'an saw many people running towards her, many familiar figures, and her eyes immediately moistened: "I'm back, are you doing well?"

"Very well, thanks to the boss, these years are the most comfortable days for us."

"That's good, that's good." Su Qing'an nodded to everyone and greeted them. After so many years, the mountains have not changed, the faces of the mountain people have changed, but the people have not changed, they are still those simple mountain people.

Su Dahu also stood in the crowd, looking at her with a smile.

Lu Weixi noticed that his father suddenly became nervous and even grabbed his mother's hand. He looked at his father strangely. There were so many people around, what was wrong with his father?

I saw his mother rolled her eyes at his father again. His father didn't let go.

Lu Weixi was even more confused.

He turned his head to look at his sister and found that his sister was concentrating on looking at the mountain view, so he also looked at it. It turned out that the mountain was so high, and there were mountains on all sides. Continuous green mountains.

Before he could look at it for two seconds, he was picked up by Su Dahu and turned around twice: "Is it Weixi? This kid doesn't look like your second brother, but looks like your mother."

Lu Weixi nodded happily to his uncle Dahu.

It was because he looked the most like his mother among his brothers and sisters that his father loved him the most. However, his father also beat him the most. I heard that his father never hit his brothers and sisters. Hum.

The group arrived at the courtyard where they used to live.

The courtyard at home was well maintained because Su's father and mother came back to live every year. There were also servants and women at home to take care of it. Su Qing'an looked at this courtyard, and her mind was full of memories.

The news that Su Qing'an had returned to the mountain spread, and people came to visit her every day.

Bai Zhaizhu of Baijiazhai came every day and chatted with Su Qing'an, talking about the past and the changes in the mountain over the years. He talked about everyone's gratitude to her.

Bai Zhaizhu was already very old, but he could still climb the mountain road very well.

Xiao Qi and Wei Xi climbed a section and then supported their legs and panted heavily. The old man had already walked back and forth.

Xiu'er and Bai Shu also brought their children to see her, chat with her, and talk about the stories that happened in the distant years and the various things when they first met.

The people who came to visit her home included not only the leaders of the various villages, but also the merchants in the market, such as the new shopkeeper of Yongfenghao.

Manager Ding had retired long ago, and Manager Li rarely went out. The affairs of Yongfeng were handed over to his children and grandchildren, but her cooperation with Yongfeng continued. Yongfeng had shops in Zhenhai, Yuedi, and Wudi, and they had shops on every street.

In addition to the above, the people who came to visit her included the teachers of Qingshan College, the students who graduated from the college, the parents of the students who went to work in various prefectures, and the families of the soldiers who stayed in the mountains.

After entertaining them at home for a few days, Lu Weixi and his parents became impatient.

He began to run to the mountains every day with the children in the mountains, taking the guards to hunt, pick up mountain products, see the tea trees in patches, see the ash trees that had grown into forests, chase bamboo rats in the bamboo forest, and go to the market to play.

Like a bird out of a cage.

The brother and sister saw many local products in the mountains at the market, many of which they had never seen or eaten.

I felt surprised and amused, and even more surprised at the wealth of the mountain people.

Wei Xi and his father went to the bathhouse opened by his mother earlier. They soaked in it for most of the day and were reluctant to leave. After years of operation, the bathhouse has been renovated to a large size, and many people come to consume every day. In the summer, the mountain people are also willing to go in and take a bath.

After Wei Xi came out, he insisted on Su Qingmei to build one in Xuzhou.

Su Qingmei went to the Lianzhai Activity Center at the market.

When the village owners heard that she had returned to the mountains, they organized everyone to hold a meeting. In addition to welcoming her back, they also wanted to listen to her lectures again.

Su Qingmei gave everyone a gift. Looking at the new and old village owners sitting below, I was filled with emotion.

Originally, she only had Baijia Village, but later, eighteen villages surrendered, and then it became forty-five villages...

Now Dabao has taken over most of the Wu Kingdom, and Xiaobao has taken over some prefectures of the Chu Kingdom, so all the seventy villages in Jiangdong are under Xiaobao's jurisdiction.

The seventy villages in Jiangdong, the remaining villages have all surrendered. Now, if the village wants to develop the livelihood economy, it is all seventy villages together. They truly share the same mountains and rivers, the same fate and development.

Seventy villages, thousands of households, the bandits outside will be terrified and dare not easily attack.

Su Qingmei smiled and listened to the village leaders talking about the affairs of each village and the changes in the village over the years.

Over the years, the mountain people have become more and more wealthy. Every family has bought land and planted crops in nearby prefectures and counties. Every family has extra money, but they are unwilling to leave the mountains.

Several markets have been built, and each market is crowded with people and very popular. The goods are complete, and they are not worse than Xuzhou, the prefecture of Zhenhai.

Su Qingmei took Lü Bocheng, Wei Xi and Xiaoqi to see the training ground.

In recent years, the management of the training ground has been handed over to Siyuan. He still insists on training the young and strong men in the mountains every day. In recent years, because of these young and strong men, even if the bandits want to enter the mountains to rob, they have never knocked on the gate of the village.

Lü Bocheng talked with Siyuan for a long time and was very satisfied with his training methods. He also gave some pointers.

Then the family went to visit Qingshan Academy next to the training ground.

Qingshan Academy has now been renamed Qingshan Academy, and its area has expanded several times.

Qingshan Academy attaches equal importance to civil and military courses. Later, some skill classes were opened, such as breeding, numerology, iron smelting, carpentry, ironware, cooking, and women's work. These courses were also suggestions made by Su Qingmei to the dean of the academy later.

Xiaoqi looked at her mother while visiting. How could her mother know so much?

The official preparatory academy in Xuzhou was proposed by her mother. Who hasn't heard of this academy in Xuzhou?

The entrance and exit are strict, and the assessment is quite strict. Every year, countless students rush here from all over the place just to squeeze in and study.

Although the assessment is strict, after graduation, they will be arranged to work in various prefectures in Zhenhai and the eldest and second brothers. They can receive public grain every month, and students from all over the country flock to it.

Look at this Qingshan Academy again. Over the years, it has taught batches of outstanding students and sent a lot of talents to Zhenhai and other prefectures.

After entering the mountains, Xiaoqi and Wei Xi admired their mother more and more.

After living in the mountains for half a month, Su Qingmei asked Su Dahu to chat before leaving.

Now Wei Fuchang is in charge of the business department, and most of the affairs in the village are handed over to Dahu. He is also unable to do everything by himself, but he works hard and never complains.

"Brother Dahu, have you been well these years?"

Su Qingmei looked at Su Dahu, who was middle-aged in front of her, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart. The days when they escaped from Fengting Town together seemed to be right in front of them, and twenty-two years had passed in a blink of an eye.

Su Dahu looked at her steadily and smiled at her.

"Don't worry, I'm living a good life. My two sons and two daughters are very obedient. I will have grandchildren in a few years. Now I help you manage the Lianzhai, and Xiaobao is also let me take care of the iron mine. I have been respected in the mountains these years. Wherever I go, people call me Su Dadangjia. I live a happy life in this mountain, and this mountain is my home."

"As long as you live a good life, it's good."

Su Qingmei and Su Dahu stood on the mountain of Xingeng Village, overlooking the village below and the two sub-villages next door. Now there are more and more people in Xingeng Village.

The main village was originally full of servants who signed her personal indentures, and now their personal indentures have been returned. They have also been allocated fields and settled in Xingeng Village.

The market in the distance is bustling with people. The green mountains surround seventy villages, and the rice waves roll on the terraces as far as the eye can see. This is the world she worked hard for many years ago.

Su Qingmei was very excited, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously, surging in her heart.

Su Dahu saw Lv Bocheng walking over with Wei Xi and Xiao Qi from a distance, and turned to look at Qingmei.

Seeing that she looked relaxed, she was looking at the grass and trees in the mountain in a trance. Su Dahu smiled, as long as she was doing well.

Without disturbing her, he moved his feet, nodded and greeted Lv Bocheng, and went down the mountain.

Lv Bocheng walked to Su Qingmei with his son and daughter.

"Mom, what are you looking at?" Wei Xi rushed over and hugged her.

Su Qingmei came back to her senses and saw that the father and son had come up at some point, and Brother Dahu was gone.

Smiling, she took her little son into her arms and pointed to the rice waves in the terraced fields at the foot of the mountain: "Mom is looking at the grass and trees in the mountain, looking at these rice, it seems that this year will be another bumper year. Mom is happy."

Lv Bocheng stretched out his hand to half-hug her and looked in the direction she was looking.

On the slope, the yellow rice ears swayed rhythmically with the mountain breeze, with ripples and waves, which made people feel very happy.

He and his wife are now over 40. They have been busy in the first half of their lives. They hope to accompany their wife to see all the beautiful mountains and rivers in the second half of their lives.

"If my wife likes it, we will stay in the mountains for a few more days, and then your husband will accompany you to various places. We will go to Hangzhou, Suzhou, and Yangzhou. I will take you to all of them."

Lu Weixi jumped up: "Dad, I want to go too!"

Xiaoqi also hugged his father's hand: "Dad, Xiaoqi wants to go too."

"Okay, okay, let's go. While your sister can still have two years of leisure, Dad will take you around."

"Wow, Dad, you are so good, I love you so much!" "I love my mother the most!" Weixi jumped happily, hugged his mother's arm and tilted his head on her body.

Lü Bocheng looked at his wife and two children happily, and felt very satisfied when he saw his young son and wife by his side.

He had not accompanied his wife through those difficult days before, and he hoped to be with her from now on.

Whenever I look back, you are still there. Time is gone, but you are still there, and the years are quiet and good. That's good. That's what I wish for.
