Chapter 287 Bring the villagers to get rich together (2) Reunion

The next morning, Zhang Ran, Sankui, Xue Tong and others met Chaoyang, left the Bacheng Gate, and set out on the way back to Zhangli!

"Squeak~" Two carriages, one in front and one behind, were driven quickly and steadily on the official road under the control of the Xue Tong brothers... Just one hour later, a bright greenness appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and Zhang Li was already looking at him from afar.

"Well~"

After passing through a large green wheat field, the carriage quickly drove into a village. When the carriage passed through the clean loess streets in Zhangli and came to Zhang Ran’s house, the coachman Xue Tong pulled the reins and parked the carriage steadily at the door of Zhang Ran’s house!

"I'm back!"

The carriage had just stopped, and a figure jumped out of the carriage. Then, Zhang Ran saw Sankui running wildly, running towards his home. He ran and shouted excitedly, "Aweng, mother, little sister, I'm back!"

"This Sankui..." Looking at Sankui's disappearing back, Zhang Ran couldn't help but smile, then jumped out of the carriage, then turned to Xue Tong and the others in the carriage and shook their heads and smiled: "Forget it, don't worry about him! Xue Tong, take the carriage to the backyard, and then unload the things on the carriage into the warehouse! I'll go back to the house to meet my mother first!"

"Which~" Xue Tong agreed gently when he heard this, then quickly got out of the car, and greeted the brothers behind him, led the horse's reins, walked around the gate, and went to the backyard.

"Ah? Brother!?" Just as Zhang Ran sorted out his clothes and was about to push the door forward, the door suddenly opened itself, and then a small head appeared behind the door... The moment he saw Zhang Ran outside the door, his sister Suier immediately cheered and plunged into Zhang Ran's arms: "Brother... you are back!"

Then, Sui'er suddenly raised her little face and said angrily: "Brother, you agreed to take me to Chang'an City to see the world, but you didn't believe it. You left for half a month! You didn't even go home! It's so hateful!"

"Uh~" Zhang Ran's face froze when he heard this, and he hugged his sister's shoulders and said embarrassedly: "I've been so busy lately. After a while, I'm free in a while, and I will definitely take you to have a good time!"

"Well~ This is almost the same!" After hearing this, the little girl pointed out with satisfaction, took Zhang Ran's big hand, and pulled him to walk into the yard.

After arriving at the main house, his mother Zhang Li was very happy to see Zhang Ran back. She hurriedly pulled Zhang Ran and said with heartache: "Ran'er, I haven't seen you for only a few days! Look how thin you are!"

As she said that, Zhang Li couldn't help but cry and said, "I'm sorry, my son, I'm only 10 years old, and I'm going out to work hard before I even get to the crown. It's all my mother incompetent and has caused my son to suffer..."

"Hey?" Looking at the tears that kept falling from mother, Zhang Ran was suddenly panicked and quickly comforted: "Mother, don't cry! My son works in the Shaofu. He eats royal meal every day, and even the clothes are given by the emperor... He can't be frozen or hungry! It's great! Moreover, when I come back this time, I have brought a lot of new clothes for my mother and Sui'er!"

"Is that true?" Zhang Li's Li Hua raised her head with rain and said a little disbelief: "Ran'er, you didn't lie to my mother, are you?"

"Of course!" Zhang Ran nodded heavily, grabbed his mother's rough palm, placed it on his clothes, and said to his mother: "Mother, touch me, how thick the clothes on me are... How could such thick clothes be frozen? This time, the clothes I brought back to you are also of this kind of material! It's so warm to wear them!"

"Well, it's really thick!" Feeling the extraordinary thickness of Zhang Ran's clothes, Zhang Li was finally relieved a lot, and raised his hand to stroke Zhang Ran's face, and said softly: "My son is intent, and he is still thinking about his mother when he is out..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran replied without hesitation: "Of course! You are my mother!"

"Haha..." Zhang Li couldn't help but smile and smiled, "Okay, you said, "My mother will feel relieved!"

Afterwards, his mother Zhang Li pulled Zhang Ran to ask about Zhang Ran's recent situation in the Shaofu. Faced with her mother's inquiry, Zhang Ran naturally did not dare not not answer, but in order to avoid her mother's worries, Zhang Ran did not dare to tell her the truth, so she could only try to pick up some of the things she had.

It took me ten minutes to briefly describe what I had been working in Shaofu recently to my mother, and repeatedly assured me that I would come back on time in the future, which was to comfort my mother.

Of course, during this period, Zhang Ran did not forget to instruct several servants and maids at home to go to the backyard together and move the clothes and gifts he brought back from Chang'an City to the main house.

......

Not long after her mother Zhang Li and her sister Sui'er changed into brand new and exquisite and warm sweaters, Sankui next door also brought Zhang Meng and other family members to visit Zhang Ran's house.

After a while of greetings, Zhang Ran also gave them the clothes and gifts he brought to Zhang Meng, Zhang Cuier and others, and gained a wave of thanks.

Considering that Zhang Ran and Sankui finally came back, after some discussion, the two families immediately decided to have a good gathering at noon, and the two families had a reunion dinner together to have a lively atmosphere.

Taking advantage of the time when his mother Zhang Li and Zhang Cuier and other women were busy cooking together, Zhang Ran pulled Zhang Meng and asked what happened in Zhang Li after he left.

Through Zhang Meng's mouth, Zhang Ran learned that during the period after he left, after Zhang Meng successfully took over Li Zheng's seat, he summoned the Zhang clan members to form a construction team according to Zhang Ran's suggestion!

After helping all the tribe members of Zhangli, each family and every household build a simple kang, Zhang Meng's prestige in the tribe increased greatly and he was completely supported by the tribe members!

Afterwards, Zhang Meng led the construction team to teach the techniques of kang construction to the nearby liju, and also undertake some small tasks of building kangs... However, because the nearby liju is even poorer than their Zhangli, they can't make much money at all!

But fortunately, there is no way out. Just as Zhang Meng was considering whether to disband the construction team, his son Zhang Erniu, who was far away in Xinfeng County, brought him good news.

After Zhang Erniu returned to Zhangli, he told Zhang Meng that because their wine shop built a kang and laid a flue in the hall, the hall was as warm as spring. Therefore, all customers who came to their wine shop praised it, and the business of the wine shop became much better!
