A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

Chapter 125 Is Your Second Uncle Back?

After dinner, Zhang Yunyue left a bag of snacks at the food store.

She was about to say goodbye to her father and mother, so she took out the silver hairpin from her arms and inserted it on Zhang's mother's head.

"Mother, this is the hairpin I bought for you in the county town. It looks really good when you wear it on your head."

Zhang's mother took off the hairpin that Zhang Yunyue had inserted in her hair, looked at it, and said angrily: "Why did you buy a hairpin for me? It would be so beautiful if you bought it for yourself. Mother doesn't need it." After saying that, she wanted to put it back to Zhang Yunyue.

Zhang Yunyue pushed it back again, "Mother, I bought this specially for you. Grandma and Second Aunt both have them. I didn't buy them because I don't like wearing these things. I bought them because I thought they would look good on you. Try them on, Father. Don't they look good?"

Father Zhang echoed, "Put it on. It looks good. This is Yueyue's gift."

"Okay, I'll wear it then. Yueyue, don't buy it next time. I'm already very satisfied with this."

"Then mother, father, my brother and I will go home first." Zhang Yunyue got on the carriage and waved to his father and mother.

Then he and Zhang Xingyun drove the carriage back to the village.

Half an hour later.

Zhang Xingyun drove the carriage and stopped at the door of his house.

"Yueyue, we're home, come down." Zhang Xingyun said to Zhang Yunyue who was sitting in the car.

"We're home now. The carriage is fast from town to home. It would have taken another half an hour before."

Zhang Yunyue jumped off the carriage as he spoke.

Then he carried the bag on his back and held the snacks he brought back from the county town in both hands.

"Grandma, grandma, I'm back." Zhang Yunyue shouted as she walked in.

Grandma Zhang was busy sewing the soles of shoes. She vaguely heard her granddaughter's voice. She seemed a little unconvinced, but the voice sounded more and more real, so she raised her head:

"Oh, Yueyue is back. Why have you been away from home for so long? Grandma and your grandfather thought you would come back after you found the store, but it's been more than half a month. Grandma missed you so much."

After saying that, Grandma Zhang looked behind Zhang Yunyue and saw no one there: "Yueyue, are you the only one back? Your second uncle and your eldest brother haven't come back yet?"

Zhang Yunyue put down the snacks in her hand, then took Grandma Zhang's arm and said, "Grandma, Second Uncle hasn't come back yet. Only my eldest brother and I are back. My eldest brother is outside and will be in soon."

"Oh, by the way, where are grandma, grandpa, second aunt, and second brother?"

"They have all gone to the workshop. Your second aunt is busy in the vegetable garden in the backyard."

As Zhu was talking, she came out from the backyard and saw Zhang Yunyue sitting next to Grandma Zhang. She said with surprise:

"Yueyue, you're back."

He looked around the yard again and saw no signs of Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xingyun. "Is your second uncle back?"

"Second aunt, second uncle is still supervising in the county town, so only my eldest brother and I are back. Oh, by the way, these are the snacks I brought back. There is an aunt in the shop who makes delicious snacks, so I asked her to make some and bring them back. Grandma, second aunt, come and try them. Where is Xiaoxue?"

Zhang Yunyue opened a bag of snacks and gave one to Grandma Zhang and Mrs. Zhu.

Zhu took the snack in her hand and said, "Xiaoxue has gone out to play. I'll give it to her when she comes back."

"Okay, wait until Xiaoxue comes back and then give her some."

After saying that, Zhang Yunyue took out the silver hairpins in her arms and inserted one on Grandma Zhang’s and Mrs. Zhu’s heads respectively.

"Grandma, Second Aunt, you two look several years younger wearing this hairpin. It looks so beautiful."

Zhu looked at the silver hairpin on Grandma Zhang's hair, touched the hairpin on her own head, and then took it off.

"Hey, Yueyue, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly buy me a silver hairpin?"

Grandma Zhang also took off the hairpin on her head, held it in her hand, frowned and said:

"You don't have money to buy it for yourself, girl. Your second aunt and I are not your little girls, so we don't need to wear this silver hairpin."

After saying this, Grandma Zhang and Mrs. Zhu were about to return the hairpin to Zhang Yunyue.

Zhang Yunyue hurriedly stopped him.

"Grandma, Second Aunt, don't worry, I have money. I bought this hairpin when I was walking around the county town and I thought it was pretty. I gave it to my mother when I first arrived in town. You two can both wear them."

"Grandma, put on the hairpin quickly, and wait for Grandpa to come back and let him see it."

"Oh, you little girl, you are such a mischievous thing. Okay, your second aunt and I will put it on." After saying that, Grandma Zhang touched Zhang Yunyue's forehead with her hand.

Zhu also echoed, "Mother, put it on quickly, and let father come back to take a good look."

"You guys are really something." Grandma Zhang said with a smile.

Zhang Yunyue talked to Mrs. Zhu and Grandma Zhang for a while, then returned to her room with her bag.

Although I had been away from home for more than half a month, the room was very clean. You could tell at a glance that grandma and second aunt had come in to clean it when they had nothing to do.

After putting down the bag and leaving the room, Zhang Xingyun had already unloaded the carriage and pulled the horses to the backyard. He was now talking to Grandma Zhang and Mrs. Zhu in the yard.

When Grandma Zhang saw Zhang Yunyue leave the room, she said to Zhu: "Yueyue and Xiaoyun have been in the county town for more than half a month. Xiaoyun seems to have changed a lot since she came back. She is much more mature and sensible than before when she was at home."

"Grandma, my eldest brother has helped a lot in the county town. Every day he either runs around here and there, or does carpentry work with my second uncle."

"Yes, it seems that Xiaoyun has gained a lot of knowledge after going out, which is good. Are you hungry? Otherwise, let me and your second aunt make you something to eat."

The two shook their heads: "Grandma, we are not hungry. We had noodles in town on our way back."

"Oh, grandma, I brought back some snacks. There are three packs here. I'll ask grandpa to deliver them to the families of the great grandfather, the second grandfather, and the village chief. The remaining two packs are for Xiaohua and Xiaoxiao."

"Okay, I got it. Your grandpa will be back soon. I'll ask him to take her there. You can go find Xiaohua and Xiaoxiao and play with them for a while!"

Zhang Yunyue carried two bags of snacks and left Old Zhang's house.

Fortunately, Xiaohua’s house was not far from Lao Zhang’s house, and Zhang Yunyue arrived there in just a few steps.

Zhang Yunyue looked towards Zhang Xiaohua's house and saw Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohe and Zhao Xiaoxiao were at home.

Then he quietly walked into Xiaohua's house, walked in front of the three people, and suddenly shouted:

"Xiaohua, Xiaohe, Xiaoxiao, you didn't miss me."

The three of them were startled by Zhang Yunyue's shout. They were embroidering handkerchiefs and ended up pricking themselves with the needle.

"oops."

"Oops, I'm sorry for scaring you."

Zhang Xiaohe was surprised and said, "Yueyue, you are finally back. You have been out for a long time."

"Yes, Yueyue, why did you stay in the county town for so long? We saw that you had not come back for this month's embroidery pattern, so we asked my eldest brother to get it from Jinxiulou in town."
