Chapter 217 Competent
Shen Miaozhu grabbed her junior sister's hand and followed up, asking, "Where's mother?"
"She's sick at grandma's house." Shen Chi had just returned, and his wife might have been too tired. She fainted after being scolded and slapped by her mother-in-law.
He hurriedly asked for help from a doctor in Shenquanji. His wife had been given acupuncture and medicine, but there was no movement for a long time.
In addition, his mother-in-law told him about the changes at home, and he couldn't wait to come back alone to see her, so he went to the Qixing Temple to ask Taoist Master Xuan Lingzi to take another look at his wife.
Before Shen Chi could say anything, he saw two girls who looked like them from a distance, and Shen Miaozhu had already pushed his junior sister onto the donkey's back.
She then climbed onto the other donkey's back and said, "Let's go see mother."
"Hurry up and go find your uncle at the foot of the mountain." Following the family rules, Shen Lingzhu turned around and said this to Shen Chi, then patted the donkey and chased after his senior sister.
"Hey... when did these two girls learn how to ride?" Shen Chi stopped pretending to be in pain and pulled his nephew up.
The latter said: "Uncle, Dazhuzi and Xiaozhuzi can do many things, such as making wine and running a shop."
"That's right, my daughter is like me, capable." Shen Chi's cocky look earned him a series of "Cheech" sounds from everyone.
But he took it all as a compliment, and asked the tribesmen to help collect the ropes, while he himself rode his horse to the foot of the mountain.
The group of people who stayed behind said, "Chi Er is lucky. He was not there before the house was raided, and he was not there when we suffered.
Hey, Wu Huai is going to be an official again, he is back."
"That's right, I have always been Mr. Chi."
"Now, this Second Master is not only afraid of his brother, sister-in-law, and daughter-in-law, but he also has two daughters."
"My eighth uncle is kind to his family."
"Hahaha……"
They came quickly and dispersed quickly after gossiping. It was because they were not as lucky as Chi Er and had to continue working in the fields.
Shen Chi rode his horse quickly to the courtyard at the foot of the mountain. When he heard his elder brother's laughter, he suddenly didn't dare to push open the door.
But Shen Du, who had returned to retrieve the carpentry blueprints, opened the door and said, "I wonder if it's Chen...Eighth Brother?!"
He grabbed Shen Chi and said, "Why don't you send a message home?
Fifth brother, fifth brother, eighth brother is back."
Shen Du pulled people into the yard and shouted loudly.
Hearing the shout, Shen Huai suddenly stopped laughing, stuffed Erlang into the cradle and ran over.
"Brother, I'm back." Shen Chi threw away the reins in his hand and smiled at him, revealing his white teeth.
Seeing his brother's appearance of being too thin to be recognized, he hugged him in his arms and said, "Where have you been? It's so hard for me to find you."
"Brother, I wrote letters home, one every five hundred miles." Shen Chi felt aggrieved. The local specialties he asked the post station to send home were all given away at a discount to others.
Shen Huai had guessed long ago that he had been dismissed and that the letter had most likely been opened and thrown away. "It's good that you're back. I'll call Xian Zhu and Xiao Zhuzi back right away."
He let go of his brother and held his arm, "Come, look at your little nephew and niece."
Suddenly thinking of Shen Du again, he turned around and said, "Third brother, please help Fang Zhu find Xian Zhu and the others."
"I'll go right away." Shen Du nodded repeatedly and walked out. Shen Chi called him, "Third brother, the big and small Zhuzi went to their grandmother's house to see their wife."
"Are they going alone?" Mrs. Hu was always surprised that she didn't see her brother and sister-in-law.
Shen Chi nodded: "Sister-in-law, it's only a few miles away, and they are carrying bows and crossbows."
He saw that the two donkeys that Xiao Zhuzi blew the whistle to call had bamboo crossbows hanging on them.
In the past, he watched the big and small bamboos dismantle and assemble their things.
"They are girls." Hu suppressed her anger and said to Shen Chi, "Don't just stand there, catch up with them and see them off."
Shen Huai wanted to plead for his brother: "My wife, the fields are full of people working now, and they will..."
"They are still children. If you don't go, I will." Mrs. Hu walked towards the horse brought by Shen Chi.
Shen Huai quickly stopped her and winked at Shen Chi, who then took out two pieces of jade from his arms and stuffed them into the two little ones who were watching the fun.
Then he held the horse and said, "Brother, please ask Xuan Lingzi for help. My wife has fainted and hasn't woken up yet.
I'll go after the two kids." As he spoke, he rode away on his horse.
"Is your sister-in-law sick?" After Mrs. Hu asked, Shen Chi disappeared. She was so angry!
He called Nanny Xu to look after the two children, and asked Shen Huai to harness the carriage to pick up Taoist Zhiyuan.
She went to get some clothes and went to visit her brother's wife, Huang.
Shen Du was left in the yard by the busy couple. He thought, I should notify Xian Zhu in the greenhouse myself!
……
Shen Lingzhu was unaware of the commotion at home. She slowly patted her donkey as she walked along, asking her senior sister beside her, "Senior sister, will Uncle beat up Master Chi?"
"Call me second sister. Our parents have returned, so we must be careful not to make any mistakes in addressing them." Shen Miaozhu blamed herself a little for not correcting her junior sister often in the past six months.
Shen Lingzhu looked at her serious expression and nodded heavily: "Second sister, what should we do when we see mother later?
I can still shout, can you? "
The senior sister from another world is about the same age as Mr. Chi and his wife.
"Alas, since I have inherited the karma from others, calling them dad and mom is nothing.
When I saw Master Chi just now, my body was almost out of my control." Shen Miaozhu shook her head. It was really a pity for the two little girls.
Shen Lingzhu: "I don't feel anything, but during Qingming Festival, I should do something for them. How about lighting two eternal lamps?"
"That's right. Let's go faster. I need to see how mother is doing." Shen Miaozhu felt uncomfortable and made a decisive decision.
Shen Lingzhu naturally would not object. Once the two of them accelerated, the donkey ran quite fast.
So when Shen Chi couldn't catch up on horseback, he felt a pang in his heart. After asking the neighbors who were fertilizing and irrigating the fields on both sides, he could only chase him all the way to his mother-in-law's house.
He felt completely relieved when he saw two familiar donkeys. He had just rubbed his face when he saw his mother-in-law coming out of the room carrying bloody water.
"Mom, what's going on?" Shen Chi's heart tightened again.
Qi glanced at him unhappily and said, "Dazhuzi bled Yueru and she has woken up."
Before she could finish her words, her son-in-law rushed into the room like the wind.
Shen Huai walked around the screen and saw his wife holding her two daughters, leaning against the kang and smiling.
He walked closer and said with a smile, "It's good that you woke up. Dazhuzi will give you a great credit.
Madam, I will make you something you want to eat."
"I don't want to eat. Seeing my two daughters being well taken care of by my sister-in-law, my heart and stomach are satisfied." Huang Yueru held her two daughters' hands and was reluctant to let go.
Shen Miaozhu said: "Eat a little to warm your stomach, I'll make a bowl of noodle soup for mother.
"Little Zhuzi, come and help me boil the pot." They are disturbing the couple's private conversation.
Huang Yueru wanted to keep them, but was suppressed by Shen Chi, "You scared me to death, do you feel better?
The medicine sold by the doctor at the market is too bitter, I have already asked my elder brother for help..."
Huang Yueru raised her hand and said, "Just now, Dazhuzi said that Taoist Xuanlingzi has ascended to heaven, and the current abbot is Taoist Zhicheng.
And Dazhuzi is a disciple of Qixingguan."
"What? How can my daughter become a nun?" Shen Chi sat up from the kang.
