My daughter and son-in-law have a good relationship, but it's not too late for them to be happy, so I am still willing to make it easier for them.
After Song Yutong had eaten and drank enough, she lay on the wooden rocking chair and fell asleep unconsciously. She was exhausted after a day of tossing.
Cheng Hanyan felt very distressed when he saw the tiredness on her face. He picked up Song Yutong and went back to the house to rest.
When she came out, she was going to help clean and put away all the barbecue equipment outside. Song Yuqian was busy heating hot water in the kitchen for Old Man Song, Mother Song and others to wash up before going to bed.
Song Yutong ate all the vegetables, meat and various foods that he had taken out before, leaving nothing behind.
What needed to be dealt with was the stained table and barbecue grill. Several children took brooms and swept the floor clean.
While she still had energy, Song Yuqian planned to help several children take a bath together, but the four little boys at home refused, so she fetched two buckets of water and the four of them got into the wooden bucket to play with the water.
On this night, not only the children were overly excited, but also everyone in the Song family was extremely happy. It was as lively as the Chinese New Year.
This also caused everyone to rest relatively late and get up late the next day smoothly.
Song Yutong and Cheng Hanyan decided to go to the county town to find a carpenter today. They got up late and did not eat at home.
I went to the town and bought some big meat buns, rented a carriage and went to the county.
Although horse-drawn carriages are more expensive than ox-carts and donkey-carts, they are faster.
We arrived at the county town earlier than expected.
As soon as the two people reached the city gate, they were stopped outside.
It seems that martial law has been enforced in the county town, and there are many more patrol officers and soldiers on both sides of the official road.
Cheng Hanyan and Song Yutong didn't know what happened. Cheng Hanyan got off the carriage and walked to the grocery shopping lady to ask.
"Auntie, what happened in this city? Why is martial law in this city?"
The vegetable seller looked like Han Yan was dressed, and she looked like she was from the town.
"I don't know very well. These officers and soldiers seem to be looking for some big shot." The aunt also wanted to go into the county to sell vegetables, but starting from the past two days, it has not been so easy to enter the county.
Not only did she need to search, but she also had to pay money. How much money could she make selling vegetables? Anyway, she could still sell them outside the county, even if she would make less money, it would still be more cost-effective than going into the county.
After Cheng Hanyan got the news, he went back to the carriage and told Song Yutong the news he had learned.
Everyone was waiting to line up to go through the search and enter the county seat, but it wasn't their turn soon.
But some officers and soldiers had already come over with portraits in their hands, pointing at the characters in the portraits with fierce expressions.
"Have you ever seen this person?"
Cheng Hanyan glanced at the portrait on the paper, and then at Song Yutong. Before Cheng Hanyan could speak, Song Yutong immediately replied: "I haven't seen it before!"
The officers and soldiers were suspicious for a while, very suspicious of the attitude of these two people.
Judging from the behavior of the two people just now, it is not as if they have never seen the person in the portrait.
Song Yutong leaned her head closer and took another look at the portrait: "I've never seen him before, but this person looks a bit like my cousin, but my cousin's nose is not as straight and his eyes are not as big."
Song Yutong's words made the officers and soldiers sneer, and any doubts in their hearts were instantly dispelled.
"You said your cousin looks like him. Are you kidding me? Do you know who this is?"
The officers and soldiers looked down upon others, which not only did not make Song Yutong feel humiliated, but also dispelled the vigilance that had just arisen in her heart.
A flattering smile appeared on Song Yutong's face, as if she wanted to inquire about gossip.
"Brother, who is this person? Do you want to tell me?"
Song Yutong's pleasing appearance not only doesn't make people feel flattering, but also a bit playful and cute.
The officer and soldier didn't want to say anything at first, but because of Song Yutong's cute face, he couldn't help but talk too much.
"This is a big shot. You just need to know that we ordinary people cannot afford to offend him. If your cousin really looks like him, he will be really lucky."
The officer and soldier's words were as if he had not said them, and the expression on his face seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and it felt quite meaningful.
Song Yutong didn't show any expression on her face, but her heart skipped a beat.
After the officers and soldiers left, Song Yutong pulled Cheng Hanyan back into the carriage.
"The person in the portrait is Ji Chengan." Cheng Hanyan said with certainty.
Although the portrait is not as good-looking as the person in person, the general appearance and charm are captured.
"What do you think these officers and soldiers are doing to him? Didn't he go back?" Song Yutong couldn't figure it out.
"I'm going to make inquiries later. If the officers and soldiers sent by the people who chased him originally are looking for him, and if they find out that we saved him, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to us."
Cheng Hanyan's face was very alert, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of what might happen.
Besides, there was something wrong with the expressions of the officers and soldiers. They said they were important people and were blessed, but they didn't look like they were showing respect, but rather they looked like they were seeking revenge.
If these people are really Ji Chengan's enemies, their current situation will be dangerous.
If Ji Chengan's true enemies knew that they were the ones who saved Ji Chengan and found them, they would probably suffer a terrible disaster.
Now that the Song family has also moved here, and Xiuwen is also here, if someone really wants to catch them, they will be able to catch them all in one sweep and eradicate them completely.
Song Yutong nodded, agreeing with what he said. "Thanks to my cleverness, I immediately denied it."
Cheng Hanyan stretched out his hand and rubbed her head. Seeing that there was still a hint of fatigue in her brows, he asked her to rest in the carriage.
He sat outside the carriage and drove the carriage forward slowly.
When it was their turn for the carriage, the officers and soldiers planned to search the carriage for inspection, but the officers and soldiers who had just spoken to Song Yutong came over and let people pass directly.
"Enter the city and pay ten cents." At the last checkpoint, officers and soldiers stopped Cheng Hanyan to hand over the money.
It was only ten cents when he opened his mouth. No wonder there are fewer and fewer people entering the city now.
Two cents is equivalent to a big meat bun, but some people are not willing to spend two cents to buy such a big meat bun all year round.
Not to mention that spending ten pennies is just enough to get into the city and buy nothing. The cheaper meat only costs fourteen or fifteen pennies.
With that money, it is better to buy some meat to eat. It is more cost-effective than going to the city.
But those who had to go to the city had a headache because of the ten cents, and some were still unconvinced, but so what.
After all, these were officers and soldiers of the government. They could not disobey, and in the end they honestly paid the money and entered the city.
Cheng Hanyan didn't take the ten cents seriously, and after paying the money, he prepared to drive away in a carriage.
But before the car got halfway, the officers and soldiers immediately stopped the car again.
