Xu Jianjun and his wife took Xu Rui back to Xiangshan Village and went to the village head’s house. The old village head retired a few years ago. Now a man in his thirties who graduated from a vocational school in the village serves as the head of the village. Of course, they want to repair the tomb of the Xu family. They don’t need instructions from the village head, but it’s also because the old village head has a lot of contacts in the village, and the old house in these years has been taken care of by the old village head, although it is still It was dilapidated, but at any rate this friendship is in my heart.
Seeing Xu Jianjun and his wife, the old village chief was so happy that he couldn't hear from ear to ear. He is in his 70s this year, with a slight camel on his back and a lot of deep wrinkles on his face, but he is in good spirits, and the whole person feels particularly tough. There is no problem working up and down the mountain.
"I'm back?" The old village chief saw the couple, and the whole face became deeper because of the cheerful smile.
Xu Jianjun stepped forward and shook his hand, patted twice, "I'm back, how is Brother Baoshuan all these years?"
"Okay, what's not so good? I have enough food and clothes, and there is spare money every year. It is much better than our days." The old village head who was packing up farm tools in the yard got up and greeted the two of them to enter the house. "Sanya, go call your grandma back."
"Oh!" The clean little girl looked at Xu Jianjun and his wife curiously, and then listened to her grandfather's words, and went out crackling on the plastic slippers.
The old village chief pointed at the child and smiled, "Jiabao, his little girl, and the two boys above are very skinny."
"It looks clever." Qin Xuejuan praised, "Have you gone to school?"
"Go, all the children in our village go to school. No matter how poor they are, they can't be poorly educated. The children now have to go to school if they want to get out of this remote village." The old village chief knows the benefits of studying. Is it a living example?
"But the life in the village in the past two years has been pretty good. Before that girl from your family came back to invest in the school. The school was built so beautifully. The children like to go to school. The college entrance examination has also passed a lot. Unfortunately, she didn't have much success."
"To get out of this small village and look at the outside world, this is already promising." Xu Jianjun smiled.
The old village chief nodded, "That said, what are you doing here this time?"
"Discussed with my mother, come back to repair the family's ancestral grave, it will only take three or two days, and the old village chief has to help find someone."
"This is a big deal. It's just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people come back from working out. Later, I will go to the village branch horn to help you shout twice. I will recruit ten or eight for you. Let's leave the house for dinner at noon. "
"Okay, trouble Baoshuan brother."
"No trouble!"
When the old sister-in-law came back, the old village chief went to the village to shout twice. The people in the village heard that Xu Jianjun and his wife were back to repair the ancestral grave. They asked a few people to help. Many people rushed to the old village chief’s house. When I came here, I wanted to see what Xu Jianjun was like after leaving the village for 20 years.
In less than ten minutes, the old village chief’s house was full of people. It seemed that the couple did not see the old, and they even looked so grand. I was envious.
When I saw Xu Rui, who was leaning on the wall, the handsome and unspeakable, I felt that this family simply didn't look like they had gone out of their village.
Some old people inquired about Yu Chunhua and Old Yaoshu. They learned that the two of them are now in good health. They felt that they were really able to live. Yu Chunhua was in his early 90s, and Old Yaoshu was about to be a hundred years old. , Now this age really has a long life.
Xu Jianjun was chatting with a familiar middle-aged man, and said to Xu Rui: "Xiao Rui, get the cigarette in the car."
"Okay!" Xu Rui nodded and went out. In the sight of everyone, he came to the van at the door, took out two high-end cigarettes from the co-driver's position, and came back in their scorching eyes, and stuffed them into Xu Jianjun's hands.
This time, I don't know how many little daughters-in-laws and little girls' eyes are falling out, they have never seen such a good-looking man.
People are afraid of comparison. Looking at the handsome and handsome Xu Rui in front of him, and thinking about my husband, I suddenly realize that I don’t want to sleep with my man on the bed at night. Why is it so uncomfortable?
Not knowing the thoughts of these people, Xu Rui came back and handed two cigarettes to his father. Xu Jianjun opened it on the spot and stuffed each man in the house with a box. These cigarettes were bought by Xu Jianjun in the Imperial Capital before he came. That’s a lot. Each piece is 800 yuan, and a box retails for 80. It can be regarded as a high-end brand among domestic cigarettes.
"Brother, this cigarette is not cheap. Our boss smokes this." It was a rich man in the village, a man from the Xiaofeng family. He is now in his 50s. He still has to work outside every year, but Now, anyhow, he is also a contractor, and he can earn one hundred and eighty thousand yuan every year. He is already a very remarkable person in the village.
Xu Jianjun smiled and said, "I don't understand this, and I don't smoke. One box of two boxes a month is enough. I bought this for you."
After hearing this, everyone grinned and thanked.
In the village, the older men smoke cigarettes. Most of the young middle-aged men smoke filters, while the elderly like to smoke more intense tobacco. It may be that the previous days were too hard and too stressful, and the days were comfortable and relaxed. After coming down, they got into some habits, smoking two cigarettes a day, and a small drink, and the days passed so comfortably for a lifetime. They didn't expect to be rich and wealthy, they were casual people.
With the help of the old village chief, their family left ten people to help repair the ancestral tomb. They only waited for tomorrow to start, and they will take the old village chief to the county or town this afternoon to purchase the materials they need.
County No. 1 High School, even if it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival, the school is guarded. When Xu Ning and Xie Zheng brought the three children over, they looked at the open school gate and greeted the guard uncle leisurely. After registering, I stepped into the school.
"This is where my mother reads?" Xie Yang saw this school for the first time. The area is not large. You can almost see the opposite wall from here. The white paint on the school building is mottled, the only thing worth it What I looked at was the very new building standing on the other side. Looking at the design, I knew it should be a gymnasium.
"Yes, Dad also studied here for three years." Xu Ning glanced around. "Many places are still the same as they were back then. There is no change. The teaching building is no different from 20 years ago."
"It shouldn't be many years before, and a new teaching building will be rebuilt." Xie Zheng said lightly.
Xu Ning nodded, it was indeed the case.
Due to the holidays, there are only two middle-aged uncles guarding the gates at the school, and students can occasionally see nearby students in the school. Of course, there are people playing basketball on the playground at this time, probably in the village near the school. Young people, there is a door at the end of the school playground for people to enter and exit. The door over there is open most of the time when school starts.
Xie Yang feels that this school is really very small, and it is also very shabby. Compared with the school he is currently studying, it is absolutely different. The only thing he can tell is the gymnasium, but he stands outside. From the inside, compared with their school's gymnasium, the difference is not even a little bit.
In his impression, his parents are very powerful, and he never thought that they both graduated from here.
Zhang Meng and his wife came over at ten o'clock, and they did not bring their son this time.
"Why are you two?"
"I went fishing with Zhang Fan. I left before dawn in the morning." Zhang Meng came over and greeted Xu Ning happily, lowered his head and pinched Xiao Lemon's face, "Why didn't you go back?"
"Take the children back to toss in a hurry. Today, my parents used to sort out the trivial matters over there, and they will come back tonight. We will wait for tomorrow to pass."
"You can't live in your hometown anymore? Go to my house tonight. A few years ago, a two-story small building was built in the house. There are a lot of rooms." Zhang Meng invited them.
Xu Ning didn't refuse, "I will go back and have a look tomorrow. I don't know what to do with my parents. I'm grateful in the village after the day. Go around?"
"Of course, I prefer to go to the market in our hometown than to go to the supermarket in Magic City."
"Your parents don't plan to live with your brother?"
"In a few years, they think they can do things now, they don't want to go to the magic city and do nothing all day. Actually, think about it, many parents generally don't want to leave their homeland, but my brother just got married and expects to have a baby. My parents can go to the magic city to help them with their children for a few years, and then they may live there."
"Where is the wife?" Xu Ning raised her eyebrows, unexpectedly that little boy was also married back then.
"Nancheng is not far from the magic capital. Nancheng has a long history. My younger siblings are also standard ladies. They opened a cafe downstairs in the company where Zhang Fan works.
The two carefully talked about what happened after the separation, and Xue Jialun and Xie Zheng followed slowly. Seeing them two circling the playground in front, Xie Zheng greeted Xue Jialun to sit and rest on a big rock under the shade of the tree on the edge of the playground. Son.
Little Lemon was held in his father's arms, but Xie Yang took his younger brother to jump in the sandpit there.
When the students playing basketball on the playground saw them, they occasionally glanced at them with curious eyes, or discussed two sentences, of course, because they were so far apart, they couldn't hear them at all.
"You two really didn't plan to have a second child?"
"Can't see it?" Zhang Meng squinted his eyes and smiled triumphantly. "Quietly tell you, I'm about two months now."
"Really?" Xu Ning smiled when she saw her happy look: "Congratulations."
"Actually, I thought it would be nice to have a son before, but my husband and I both want a daughter. Besides, I am my own boss, and there are not so many restrictions. I just want to have another one. Who knew it would be so easy to get pregnant. My mother-in-law’s relatives don’t know yet. Let me tell others after three months. You pretend not to know."
"Okay!" Xu Ning couldn't laugh or cry.
At noon, they had a casual meal at a restaurant in the county, and then the two families took some things and visited the homes of several teachers. In the afternoon, Xue Jialun drove back with Zhang Meng, and the two agreed to go together the day after tomorrow. Go to the bazaar.
When Xu Rui returned with his parents, it was already dusk. Everything in the village was ready. Someone in the county would send materials there tomorrow morning. The new tombstones were also booked. Of course, the tombstones are not used now. The hammers and chisels are carved by machines, and the speed is still very fast.
As for the chef of the mobile restaurant, the old village chief also helped to find it. It is said that people in the village have had weddings and weddings over the years. Almost all of them are looking for the restaurant. The chef's son, he is now in charge, and he cooks good dishes.
In mobile restaurants, they usually help them purchase dishes and customize a few dishes for each table, and then the host will settle the payment for them.
Now it is a good day with pleasant weather. There are a lot of people getting married. The family’s reputation is there, so it’s hardly leisure all the year round. This time I invite each other to cook because I have agreed to the banquet for the two wedding banquets. , So the couple simply separated. The wife came here to cook and the husband did the banquet. The main reason was that the number of people here was relatively small. Except for the individual who helped, it was the elderly elders in the village. There is less than five tables, but the banquets in rural areas are generally available to anyone who knows them in the village. At least ten tables and eight tables are available. The couple is allocated according to the workload, but the craftsmanship is also very different. If it was bad, Xu Jianjun did not refuse, only that he would let them buy all the dishes they needed. They hadn't counted it for a few days, but it was the last piece of the bill.
Probably the old village head told the other party about the identity of Xu Jianjun and his wife, and they were not afraid that the employer would repay the debt, so they simply agreed.
Early the next morning, Xie Zheng held his daughter who was still in a daze, and everyone got into the van and went straight to Xiangshan Village.
When I came to the village, almost all the people here were up. There were naughty children in and out of the village playing and playing, and the **** and the dog were so lively.
The car stopped at their old house first, everyone got out of the car, and Xie Zheng took the key to open the door of his house.
The courtyard of the Jiang family’s old house is still the same as it was 20 years ago. There is a large cement floor in the courtyard, and the corner of the wall is a small vegetable bed. After so many years, there are still mature dishes. This is the old village head’s wife who is idle. When I came here to help take care of the house, I sprinkled it casually. Anyway, I don't have to worry about it, and I can still have fresh vegetables to eat.
The house is somewhat damp. After all, it was a busy autumn harvest period before the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the old village chief’s statement, there has been no smoke and fire for more than a month, but the soldiers in the house are not dusty. The old village chief gave Jiang The old man made a phone call, and occasionally the old village chief’s daughter-in-law, or someone in the village who has more guests, will be sent to the houses on both sides to live in. The two families have no objection to this. After all, the house can’t bear. Living, it will be ruined faster. If the two houses are locked for 20 years, it will be an empty shelf after returning. I still have to thank the old village chief.
Seeing several quilts on the kang, Qin Xuejuan smiled and said: "This may have been sent by your aunt Baoshuan and her daughter-in-law last night. We will live here these few days to avoid the trouble of going back and forth."
I had never thought of living in the village before. Who would have thought that the houses of the two houses were kept so well by the old village chief and his wife. In this case, I only live here for three or four days.
Before they could say much, the old village chief walked in with a man of medium build. He looked carefully at that man was the old village chief’s son. He remembered the young man who stayed in the supply and marketing agency all day and ate melon seeds. , But now there are a lot of vicissitudes.
"Jianjun, everyone is here, don't you go and see how to fix it?"
"Okay, I'm going now." Xu Jianjun said to Xu Ning: "You take them here to clean up first, and I will show your mother outside."
"Go ahead."
The couple went out. Xu Ning put the suitcase on the kang, then raised his hand and touched it on the kang mat. When he saw that it was clean, he asked Xu Rui to take off his shoes and put it on the kang. Put on the duvet cover."
"Okay." Mid-Autumn Festival, it was a bit cold at night on this day, and I couldn't hold it without a quilt.
The quilts here are made of pure cotton. Compared with the various high-end duck down, silk, velvet, velvet and other quilts they used in the Imperial Capital, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is really warm, and the disadvantage is that the cotton quilt is very heavy and the same. The thick cotton quilt covers the body, making it uncomfortable for people who can press it.
Upon seeing this, Xie Zheng said to Xu Ning: "I will take them to the village store to buy some washbasins, do you have other needs?"
"Brother Zheng, look and buy it." Xu Ning has no other needs, after all, they carry a lot of things.
Xie Zheng led his daughter in front, and Xie Yang and his younger brother followed. The father and son walked out of the house and went to the village supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative is still in that place, but the space is a bit larger. Originally, there was a small mill next to the supply and marketing cooperative. After the mill was closed, the supply and marketing cooperative opened up the walls on both sides, enlarged the scale of operation, and added many other things. Daily necessities can be described as diverse.
Seeing Xie Zheng, many people in the village don’t know much, and there are some who can recognize them, but they are also few. After all, after 20 years, everyone has changed a lot. Besides, Xie Zheng’s temperament is very indifferent, which makes people. Don't dare to greet and approach at will.
But seeing his clothes, I knew that he must have come with Xu Jianjun and the others.
When I came to the supply and marketing agency, there were a few people playing mahjong on a small table. Jiabao saw them coming and said hello with a smile, "Xie Zheng is here, what do you want to buy?"
Xie Zheng is about the same age as him, but the difference between the two standing together is really embarrassing.
"Give me some washbasins." Xie Zheng bent over and picked up the little lemon. "The three of you, what do you want?"
He thinks that there are still many interesting little things in the store, such as the very sticky dish-colored sugar, the soy-based Tang monk meat, and the colorful jelly beans in a thin tube, etc., all of which are childhood memories. Reminiscing about the fun, at that time Xie Zheng would still buy delicious food for Xu Ning, who was behind his ass, but in a blink of an eye, the vicissitudes of life were overwhelming.
Don’t say it’s two small ones. Even Xie Yang, who has always been very stable, became curious when he came to this place. The three of them wandered back and forth in front of the shelves. There are plenty of things to eat and play, but most of them are some very interesting foods.
Xie Zheng put all the things they bought in the washbasin and let Jiabao take care of it. The total cost was less than twenty yuan, and one washbasin was only two and five yuan, and he bought four, which the children ate. Things are just a few cents and a few cents. There are too many to spend a lot of money.
After shopping, he was not in a hurry to go back. Xie Zheng stood here and chatted briefly with Jiabao, naturally talking about the changes and interesting things in Xiangshan Village over the years.
Occasionally people who come to buy things see them, their eyes are glued, mainly because the three children are too cute.
On the way back, Xie Zheng led them to take a look at the gate of the village branch compound. There were already a few people inside who were sorting things out.
"Dad, what are they doing?" Xie Yang looked up and asked, "Do you want to cook outside?"
The little handsome guy thinks that if the wind blows outside, can these meals be clean?
"This is a mobile restaurant that can only be seen in many rural areas. They don’t have a fixed location, so they can go wherever they are needed. If there are no restaurants nearby, they don’t have a fixed location. The chefs of mobile restaurants come to cook, and almost all the dishes they cook are bought by themselves. It is more cost-effective to meet a good cooking skill than in a restaurant."
"But I always feel a little bad outside." Xie Yang led his younger brother and father away.
"That’s the time when you were born. Didn’t the grandfather and grandmother tell you? In that era, almost all of them couldn’t eat enough. It’s good to have a bite. Your grandfather is about the same as you. When I was older, I couldn’t even eat buns with white flour, let alone meat. I could only drink water to satisfy my hunger.” Xie Zheng lowered his head and glanced at his son, “As long as the food is not damaged, it can be eaten. Don’t pick and choose. Picked up."
"Got it." Xie Yang nodded sensibly.
Back home, Xu Ning's sister and brother were still sorting the bedding, but they were almost ready.
Xie Zheng scooped a spoonful of water from the iron bucket in the courtyard and put it into the motor well, and then began to press. It didn’t take long for the water to flow down the motor well. The three children were very interested when they saw it, and they shouted for it. Come to help, Xie Zheng walked away with a smile, and went back to the house to find a clean cloth. After he came out, he squatted on the side of the machine well to wash the basin. Lovable.
"What is this?" Xie Yang pressed twice and felt the power. The younger brother and sister looked curiously beside him, so he let go, but it was a pity that the two little guys had to add up to use it.
"This is a hand-cranked pumping well. This well is more than sixty years old. It was your grandpa who asked someone to do it. Dad drank the water pressed from it when he was young." Xie Zheng simply said to his son. Xie Yang understands the principle of this pumping well. He has learned about air pressure in school.
"Tsk, squeak..."
There was a strange sound, and the twin brothers and sisters looked at the smaller and smaller water flow, and they were all startled.
"Why is there no water?" Seeing the millet grain, he waited for his big watery eyes to look at his father, did he do something wrong?
Xie Zheng sneered softly, got up and poured a spoonful of water into it again while pressing the handle, and the water flow became turbulent again a few moments later.
After the bucket and washbasin were filled with water, the twins walked over and helped Dad clean the washbasin in a decent manner. As a result, when the fleshy little hands were put in, they couldn't help squinting their big beautiful eyes. It was so cold. water.
"Dad, the water is ice."
"Just taken from the ground, the natural temperature is a bit low."
The two little ones were playing in the water here, and Xie Zheng didn’t stop them. The big deal is to change them when the clothes are wet. It’s not a bad thing that the children like to play. He did the same when he was young. Naughty things have not been done less, and now there is no need to restrict children's fun, anyway, there are not many days like this.
After finishing the bed, Xu Ning came out in slippers and put a handful of water on his face. He was really tired after tossing for half an hour.
"Huh?" Xu Ning saw the plastic bag next to it. It was colorful. He opened it and took out a palm-sized packaging bag. "There is actually Tang monk meat. I haven't eaten it in many years, you bought?"
"Mom, mom, I bought it." Millet grains rushed over and lay on her mother's back, "Can Tang Monk meat be immortal?"
"Silly son, how is this possible." Xu Ning couldn't help but laugh, "This is a soy product made from beans."
With wet hands, Xu Ning thought directly about the packaging, and a familiar smell from his memory sprang out.
He took out a piece and sent it to Xie Zheng. Xie Zheng didn't refuse, and opened his mouth to bite. "I don't like this very much, but you, I always bought these things when I was young."
"At that time there were few delicious foods and limited entertainment facilities...Oh, I even bought whistle candy?" She tore the seal on the top of the thin tube, holding her son's hand, and poured the colorful jelly beans inside him. In the palm of his hand, "Taste it, it tastes very sweet."
Seeing this, Xiao Mi Nui sticks out his tongue and adds twice, a few colorful jelly beans stick to the tongue, a sweet taste spreads, it can’t be said how delicious, after all, the two little guys were born here. In addition, the elders are loved and tight, and even the delicious things have been eaten. This is just a momentary freshness.
Little Lemon stepped forward and wanted some more, but after eating the jelly beans in his palm, he was not interested in anything else.
Xu Ning opened his mouth to bite a section of the thin tube and blew it lightly, and a slightly sharp sound came out.
Compared to jelly beans, it is clear that the two little guys are interested in this.
Xu Rui saw this scene when he came out, carrying a small bench and sitting down, chatting with Xie Zheng.
In the morning, the main task was to deliver the necessary materials to the ancestral grave, and then to start work in the afternoon. It was just after ten o'clock. All the elderly people in the village came to the courtyard, chatting and watching the cooks prepare meals nearby. There are also a few women in their forties who are here to help. They are all from the same village from the Xu family who have not yet come out of the Five Fortunes, but they don't have much contact with them. Naturally, they will also be invited to get together this time.
"Doesn't Sister follow along in the afternoon?" Xu Rui asked.
"Your sister, I'm the Xie family now. In our hometown, married women cannot go to the grave." Xu Ning said indifferently: "In the afternoon, you will follow the past and bye bye before the start of work, and then go to the column after the repairs are completed. fragrant."
"I know this." What kind of rule is that married women can't go to the grave.
At least there is no such rule in the magic city. Before my mother went to attend the funeral of Qin Yaokang and his wife, didn't she still go.
However, he just murmured in his heart that there is a local customs in one place, which cannot be said to be feudal superstition.
Of course his sister didn't care, and Xu Rui had nothing to say.
Xu Rui almost never heard his grandma talk about who his grandfather was. He asked his grandma when he was in high school. Grandma only said that she was a fool, and she hardly mentioned other things, but it was grandpa and grandma. Can he listen? Little, every time my grandmother mentioned it, she was not very comfortable, saying that they were utterly desolate.
Xu Rui didn’t understand at the time, but his father told him in private that his grandmother gave birth to three sons and two daughters. When I got up, I was full of sorrow.
The big aunt in my father’s impression was very vague. After all, my father was not very old at that time and couldn’t remember many things, but Xu Rui knew that grandma probably loved the aunt very much in her heart, one day in November every year. , Grandma would always cook a table of hearty dishes. It was obviously not a holiday that day, but later I learned that that day was the anniversary of the old aunt's death.
When the aunt was ten years old when she died, she could not enter her ancestral grave if she was not an adult and was not married.
At that time, Yu Chunhua almost didn't fight with her in-laws for this. In the end, this incident was not what she wanted. Yu Chunhua simply buried her daughter in a place far away from the tomb of Xu Jiazu, so that the group of people sickened her daughters. Xu Jiazu’s tomb is like an imperial tomb, and everyone wants to bury it.
She is not rare.
This time they came back to repair the tomb of Xu Jiazu. The old lady didn't mention the eldest daughter, but Xu Jianjun still wanted to repair the tomb for the eldest sister.
Near noon, they came to the compound with their three children, and Xu Jianjun and his wife had already arrived here.
"Xiao Rui." Xu Jianjun saw his son, got up and walked over, "We didn't buy enough cigarettes. Tomorrow you go to the county to check it out and buy more."
Xu Rui nodded, "Okay, I will drive a trip tomorrow morning. Is there enough for today?"
"enough!"
Xu Ning walked to the middle-aged woman who was holding the spoon. At this time, ribs were being cooked in the big iron pot, and the rich fragrance continued to rush upwards.
"Sister, after the food on the dinner table is enough, you are preparing a table for us alone. Are there enough ingredients?"
The woman raised her head and glanced at Xu Ning, and she screamed in her heart. This woman is so beautiful that she knew almost immediately that this was her employer.
"Okay, the food is good, just the same as that table, isn't it?"
"Yes, I’m sorry to trouble you." The re-prepared table is reserved for the evening. Of course, it’s definitely not just their family at night. Maybe the old village chief’s house and some of the father’s uncles and brothers in the village will go over to eat. These dishes The amount is really sufficient. I don’t have to worry about not having enough to eat at night. You can eat it when you heat it up in the iron pot at home. However, the stove is obviously not usable. Then I will borrow a gas stove from someone. In a few days, just give some money when you return.
The woman waved her hand slightly uncomfortably, "No trouble!"
They paid for it.
The lunch was very lively. After Xie Zheng and Xu Ning finished their meal, they left the table early. The three children stayed peacefully beside their grandparents and uncles. It was estimated that they would not notice that their parents had left early.
The two of them walked around the village slowly, hand in hand, first glanced at the old house of Xu's family, and then unknowingly came to the house in front of the old house with only skeletons left. The roof was almost dilapidated.
Xie Zheng saw the gatehouse and chuckled: "It was here back then. I abducted my daughter-in-law."
Xu Ning glanced sideways and glared at Xie Zheng, "I'm so embarrassed to say."
At that time, she was suffering in her heart and couldn't tell outsiders, but Xie Zheng knew her situation, but she always watched jokes beside her, and actually forced her to submit in that way, which was absolutely disgusting.
The two of them walked over on weeds that could hardly see the road. The door was dilapidated, and it was almost broken into **** with a light push. There was no way.
After more than 20 years, Xie Zheng also sighed slightly in his heart.
He wants time to slow down, slower, or stop at this moment and never run again. He wants to be with his wife forever.
He hugged Xu Ning in his arms and tightened his arms a little bit. He noticed that his wife had twisted his waist and eyes lightly, and then he released his strength, wrapped her in his arms, and touched her forehead, "Kiss! "
Xu Ning's smart eyes looked left and right, and then said with a slight anger, "You did it on purpose, right?"
There are piles of wheat stalks here. As long as the two of them stay in this position, even if someone walks by, they will not find it.
Xie Zheng kissed her forehead, then kissed down little by little, muttering in his mouth: "Relive the old dream."
The two of them haven't made each other for a long time, and they didn't expect that when they let go, it would be a field battle, so Xu Ning almost couldn't bear to be reserved.
But at this time, most of the people were resting at home after lunch. There was no one outside. The parents didn’t know, but Xu Rui was a wink. If they were gone, the three children would definitely be allowed. Rui left easily.
The gasp sounded in this space, getting heavier and heavier, Xu Ning was itchy at the tip of Xie Zheng's heart, and his body was soft and powerless.
His kiss was too hot, but he was also very restrained, and the result of restraint was that Xu Ning was almost not burned clean.
She was weak and limp in his arms, Xie Zheng's kiss teased her lips and tongue wantonly, and the palm of her hand ignited clusters of sparks on her back.
Xie Zheng saw his daughter-in-law's deceptive appearance, like a March peach blossom, delicate and charming, and a certain place was also clamoring fiercely.
"Field battle, do you want?" Brother Zheng let go of her lips and bit her ear, his voice was dull and deep and sexy.
The spring tide surged in Xu Ning's beautiful eyes, her red lips biting softly, "Are you asking my opinion?"
"No, my brother just said hello to you." After that, she lifted the hem of her skirt, dragged Xu Rui's hips, let her slender legs encircle her waist, and licked her head up. The daughter-in-law's small chin said in a temptation tone: "Ningning, don't be too loud, bear with it."
"..." Xu Ning choked silently, biting her lip to endure the shaking of Brother Zheng.
Don't let her be too irritated, but the conscience of heaven and earth, who is more irritating than whom?
With his arms around Xie Zheng's neck, Xu Ning clasped his teeth firmly as he walked around, wishing to tear off a piece of flesh from his body.
After a long time, Xie Zheng returned home with his wife lying softly in his arms. There was no one in the house at this time, and it took at least two o'clock to eat.
After tidying up for Xu Ning, Xie Zheng sent a text message to Xu Rui, and then he put his arms around his wife and slowly closed his eyes.
Xu Rui had long been impatient here. Mere eating was nothing, but the people here almost stared at him, asking questions and answers, not to mention how annoying, but almost overwhelmed.
It’s not an exaggeration to chat with this group of people from my hometown.
It doesn't matter how hard he is at work, but here they are asking their own personal questions, and Xu Rui is still not used to chatting with strangers on private topics.
Perhaps at first, I was thinking about introducing Xu Rui to the younger generation and even his daughter. After learning that he already has a girlfriend, I started to inquire about Xu Rui's girlfriend, where his family is, his personality, etc. When things were not big or small, Xu Rui could only deal with it with energy.
I learned that I was looking for a foreign daughter-in-law, and some of the women in the village were surprised, and of course some wanted to break up.
After all, Xu Rui was in front of her alive. If her daughter could marry Xu Rui, then the whole family would not be allowed to follow the fragrant drink.
I have to say that the people who came here really didn’t understand their expressions, so that Xu Rui was so annoyed that he thought that he would not come back if he didn’t come back in the future, and there were a few old ladies in it that were really annoying. NS.
What are their daughters or nieces and nieces are so good? Don’t look at school, but have a good personality, can do all housework, and can give birth to sons with a big butt, and be filial to the elders, etc. Marry back to ensure that you will not regret it.
wtf?
Xu Rui was speechless. He didn’t find his wife just to have children, do housework and obey his parents. Besides, although he doesn’t look down on anyone, but looking down doesn’t mean that he can marry home as a wife and he has never attended school. This is something that a bachelor can’t accept for a lifetime. His education is here. If you find a wife who has never gone to school, how will you communicate in the future? As for the big **** being able to give birth to a son, where does this feudal superstition come from? His sister is so perfect, didn't she also give birth to two sons?
And filial piety and character, etc., have nothing to do with him. Don't say that he has a girlfriend, even if he doesn't, Xu Rui would not find a girl here to be his wife.
A marriage without a common language is difficult to maintain, to be honest.
By the way, he said that he has a girlfriend, and there are still a few old ladies licking their faces to promote their younger generation, which makes Xu Rui really unhappy.
The key point is that these old ladies are still the elders of the Xu family who have just given birth to the Five Fortunes. Although they can get married after giving birth to the Five Fortunes, he doesn't like those girls who behave extremely pretentiously when they see their eyes glowing green.
Of course, there are also women who make Xu Rui look very good. In terms of Xu Rui, he has to call his cousin. The other party's grandfather Zeng and his grandfather Zeng are the same father.
The other party's appearance is ordinary, but the behavior and demeanor are very calm and generous. Xu Jianjun and his wife also like this child very much. When the other family came to greet her, their parents also wrapped her in a red envelope. This cousin is named Xu Qiuyue, professional. The kindergarten teacher who graduated from the school teaches in the school in the town. Two months ago, he was engaged to a junior high school teacher in the town. The wedding was scheduled for the end of this year.
It is also for this reason that Qin Xuejuan gave the other party a big red envelope. The two red envelopes add up to about two to three thousand. This number is almost the family's annual income from farming.
Xu Rui was completely relieved when he received the text message from Xie Zheng, got up to say hello to his parents, and then led Xie Yang and the three away.
Several old ladies who wanted to work harder could only look at Xu Rui's back and secretly annoyed that such a cash cow ran away under their noses.
What Xu Rui didn't know was that several young girls in the room craned their necks and looked at Xu Rui's back. They were also lost and listless.
When he came home, Xu Rui originally wanted to go in and condemn the sister-in-law, but he didn't want her sister to be asleep, but the brother-in-law came out of the house when he heard the movement.
Hugging a few children on the kang, Xie Zheng let them go, let them lie down and sleep for a while, their brothers came to the yard carrying stools.
"Hey, brother-in-law, you are really unkind. This meal made me almost swallowed by those old ladies. I was so irritating to introduce my younger generation to me. What I said was extremely annoying. What age is it now, and I use my own children as a bargaining chip.
"That's why you have this ability, otherwise why don't they sell it to others?" Xie Zheng chuckled softly.

Xu Jianjun and his wife took Xu Rui back to Xiangshan Village and went to the village head’s house. The old village head retired a few years ago. Now a man in his thirties who graduated from a vocational school in the village serves as the head of the village. Of course, they want to repair the tomb of the Xu family. They don’t need instructions from the village head, but it’s also because the old village head has a lot of contacts in the village, and the old house in these years has been taken care of by the old village head, although it is still It was dilapidated, but at any rate this friendship is in my heart.
Seeing Xu Jianjun and his wife, the old village chief was so happy that he couldn't hear from ear to ear. He is in his 70s this year, with a slight camel on his back and a lot of deep wrinkles on his face, but he is in good spirits, and the whole person feels particularly tough. There is no problem working up and down the mountain.
"I'm back?" The old village chief saw the couple, and the whole face became deeper because of the cheerful smile.
Xu Jianjun stepped forward and shook his hand, patted twice, "I'm back, how is Brother Baoshuan all these years?"
"Okay, what's not so good? I have enough food and clothes, and there is spare money every year. It is much better than our days." The old village head who was packing up farm tools in the yard got up and greeted the two of them to enter the house. "Sanya, go call your grandma back."
"Oh!" The clean little girl looked at Xu Jianjun and his wife curiously, and then listened to her grandfather's words, and went out crackling on the plastic slippers.
The old village chief pointed at the child and smiled, "Jiabao, his little girl, and the two boys above are very skinny."
"It looks clever." Qin Xuejuan praised, "Have you gone to school?"
"Go, all the children in our village go to school. No matter how poor they are, they can't be poorly educated. The children now have to go to school if they want to get out of this remote village." The old village chief knows the benefits of studying. Is it a living example?
"But the life in the village in the past two years has been pretty good. Before that girl from your family came back to invest in the school. The school was built so beautifully. The children like to go to school. The college entrance examination has also passed a lot. Unfortunately, she didn't have much success."
"To get out of this small village and look at the outside world, this is already promising." Xu Jianjun smiled.
The old village chief nodded, "That said, what are you doing here this time?"
"Discussed with my mother, come back to repair the family's ancestral grave, it will only take three or two days, and the old village chief has to help find someone."
"This is a big deal. It's just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people come back from working out. Later, I will go to the village branch horn to help you shout twice. I will recruit ten or eight for you. Let's leave the house for dinner at noon. "
"Okay, trouble Baoshuan brother."
"No trouble!"
When the old sister-in-law came back, the old village chief went to the village to shout twice. The people in the village heard that Xu Jianjun and his wife were back to repair the ancestral grave. They asked a few people to help. Many people rushed to the old village chief’s house. When I came here, I wanted to see what Xu Jianjun was like after leaving the village for 20 years.
In less than ten minutes, the old village chief’s house was full of people. It seemed that the couple did not see the old, and they even looked so grand. I was envious.
When I saw Xu Rui, who was leaning on the wall, the handsome and unspeakable, I felt that this family simply didn't look like they had gone out of their village.
Some old people inquired about Yu Chunhua and Old Yaoshu. They learned that the two of them are now in good health. They felt that they were really able to live. Yu Chunhua was in his early 90s, and Old Yaoshu was about to be a hundred years old. , Now this age really has a long life.
Xu Jianjun was chatting with a familiar middle-aged man, and said to Xu Rui: "Xiao Rui, get the cigarette in the car."
"Okay!" Xu Rui nodded and went out. In the sight of everyone, he came to the van at the door, took out two high-end cigarettes from the co-driver's position, and came back in their scorching eyes, and stuffed them into Xu Jianjun's hands.
This time, I don't know how many little daughters-in-laws and little girls' eyes are falling out, they have never seen such a good-looking man.
People are afraid of comparison. Looking at the handsome and handsome Xu Rui in front of him, and thinking about my husband, I suddenly realize that I don’t want to sleep with my man on the bed at night. Why is it so uncomfortable?
Not knowing the thoughts of these people, Xu Rui came back and handed two cigarettes to his father. Xu Jianjun opened it on the spot and stuffed each man in the house with a box. These cigarettes were bought by Xu Jianjun in the Imperial Capital before he came. That’s a lot. Each piece is 800 yuan, and a box retails for 80. It can be regarded as a high-end brand among domestic cigarettes.
"Brother, this cigarette is not cheap. Our boss smokes this." It was a rich man in the village, a man from the Xiaofeng family. He is now in his 50s. He still has to work outside every year, but Now, anyhow, he is also a contractor, and he can earn one hundred and eighty thousand yuan every year. He is already a very remarkable person in the village.
Xu Jianjun smiled and said, "I don't understand this, and I don't smoke. One box of two boxes a month is enough. I bought this for you."
After hearing this, everyone grinned and thanked.
In the village, the older men smoke cigarettes. Most of the young middle-aged men smoke filters, while the elderly like to smoke more intense tobacco. It may be that the previous days were too hard and too stressful, and the days were comfortable and relaxed. After coming down, they got into some habits, smoking two cigarettes a day, and a small drink, and the days passed so comfortably for a lifetime. They didn't expect to be rich and wealthy, they were casual people.
With the help of the old village chief, their family left ten people to help repair the ancestral tomb. They only waited for tomorrow to start, and they will take the old village chief to the county or town this afternoon to purchase the materials they need.
County No. 1 High School, even if it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival, the school is guarded. When Xu Ning and Xie Zheng brought the three children over, they looked at the open school gate and greeted the guard uncle leisurely. After registering, I stepped into the school.
"This is where my mother reads?" Xie Yang saw this school for the first time. The area is not large. You can almost see the opposite wall from here. The white paint on the school building is mottled, the only thing worth it What I looked at was the very new building standing on the other side. Looking at the design, I knew it should be a gymnasium.
"Yes, Dad also studied here for three years." Xu Ning glanced around. "Many places are still the same as they were back then. There is no change. The teaching building is no different from 20 years ago."
"It shouldn't be many years before, and a new teaching building will be rebuilt." Xie Zheng said lightly.
Xu Ning nodded, it was indeed the case.
Due to the holidays, there are only two middle-aged uncles guarding the gates at the school, and students can occasionally see nearby students in the school. Of course, there are people playing basketball on the playground at this time, probably in the village near the school. Young people, there is a door at the end of the school playground for people to enter and exit. The door over there is open most of the time when school starts.
Xie Yang feels that this school is really very small, and it is also very shabby. Compared with the school he is currently studying, it is absolutely different. The only thing he can tell is the gymnasium, but he stands outside. From the inside, compared with their school's gymnasium, the difference is not even a little bit.
In his impression, his parents are very powerful, and he never thought that they both graduated from here.
Zhang Meng and his wife came over at ten o'clock, and they did not bring their son this time.
"Why are you two?"
"I went fishing with Zhang Fan. I left before dawn in the morning." Zhang Meng came over and greeted Xu Ning happily, lowered his head and pinched Xiao Lemon's face, "Why didn't you go back?"
"Take the children back to toss in a hurry. Today, my parents used to sort out the trivial matters over there, and they will come back tonight. We will wait for tomorrow to pass."
"You can't live in your hometown anymore? Go to my house tonight. A few years ago, a two-story small building was built in the house. There are a lot of rooms." Zhang Meng invited them.
Xu Ning didn't refuse, "I will go back and have a look tomorrow. I don't know what to do with my parents. I'm grateful in the village after the day. Go around?"
"Of course, I prefer to go to the market in our hometown than to go to the supermarket in Magic City."
"Your parents don't plan to live with your brother?"
"In a few years, they think they can do things now, they don't want to go to the magic city and do nothing all day. Actually, think about it, many parents generally don't want to leave their homeland, but my brother just got married and expects to have a baby. My parents can go to the magic city to help them with their children for a few years, and then they may live there."
"Where is the wife?" Xu Ning raised her eyebrows, unexpectedly that little boy was also married back then.
"Nancheng is not far from the magic capital. Nancheng has a long history. My younger siblings are also standard ladies. They opened a cafe downstairs in the company where Zhang Fan works.
The two carefully talked about what happened after the separation, and Xue Jialun and Xie Zheng followed slowly. Seeing them two circling the playground in front, Xie Zheng greeted Xue Jialun to sit and rest on a big rock under the shade of the tree on the edge of the playground. Son.
Little Lemon was held in his father's arms, but Xie Yang took his younger brother to jump in the sandpit there.
When the students playing basketball on the playground saw them, they occasionally glanced at them with curious eyes, or discussed two sentences, of course, because they were so far apart, they couldn't hear them at all.
"You two really didn't plan to have a second child?"
"Can't see it?" Zhang Meng squinted his eyes and smiled triumphantly. "Quietly tell you, I'm about two months now."
"Really?" Xu Ning smiled when she saw her happy look: "Congratulations."
"Actually, I thought it would be nice to have a son before, but my husband and I both want a daughter. Besides, I am my own boss, and there are not so many restrictions. I just want to have another one. Who knew it would be so easy to get pregnant. My mother-in-law’s relatives don’t know yet. Let me tell others after three months. You pretend not to know."
"Okay!" Xu Ning couldn't laugh or cry.
At noon, they had a casual meal at a restaurant in the county, and then the two families took some things and visited the homes of several teachers. In the afternoon, Xue Jialun drove back with Zhang Meng, and the two agreed to go together the day after tomorrow. Go to the bazaar.
When Xu Rui returned with his parents, it was already dusk. Everything in the village was ready. Someone in the county would send materials there tomorrow morning. The new tombstones were also booked. Of course, the tombstones are not used now. The hammers and chisels are carved by machines, and the speed is still very fast.
As for the chef of the mobile restaurant, the old village chief also helped to find it. It is said that people in the village have had weddings and weddings over the years. Almost all of them are looking for the restaurant. The chef's son, he is now in charge, and he cooks good dishes.
In mobile restaurants, they usually help them purchase dishes and customize a few dishes for each table, and then the host will settle the payment for them.
Now it is a good day with pleasant weather. There are a lot of people getting married. The family’s reputation is there, so it’s hardly leisure all the year round. This time I invite each other to cook because I have agreed to the banquet for the two wedding banquets. , So the couple simply separated. The wife came here to cook and the husband did the banquet. The main reason was that the number of people here was relatively small. Except for the individual who helped, it was the elderly elders in the village. There is less than five tables, but the banquets in rural areas are generally available to anyone who knows them in the village. At least ten tables and eight tables are available. The couple is allocated according to the workload, but the craftsmanship is also very different. If it was bad, Xu Jianjun did not refuse, only that he would let them buy all the dishes they needed. They hadn't counted it for a few days, but it was the last piece of the bill.
Probably the old village head told the other party about the identity of Xu Jianjun and his wife, and they were not afraid that the employer would repay the debt, so they simply agreed.
Early the next morning, Xie Zheng held his daughter who was still in a daze, and everyone got into the van and went straight to Xiangshan Village.
When I came to the village, almost all the people here were up. There were naughty children in and out of the village playing and playing, and the **** and the dog were so lively.
The car stopped at their old house first, everyone got out of the car, and Xie Zheng took the key to open the door of his house.
The courtyard of the Jiang family’s old house is still the same as it was 20 years ago. There is a large cement floor in the courtyard, and the corner of the wall is a small vegetable bed. After so many years, there are still mature dishes. This is the old village head’s wife who is idle. When I came here to help take care of the house, I sprinkled it casually. Anyway, I don't have to worry about it, and I can still have fresh vegetables to eat.
The house is somewhat damp. After all, it was a busy autumn harvest period before the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the old village chief’s statement, there has been no smoke and fire for more than a month, but the soldiers in the house are not dusty. The old village chief gave Jiang The old man made a phone call, and occasionally the old village chief’s daughter-in-law, or someone in the village who has more guests, will be sent to the houses on both sides to live in. The two families have no objection to this. After all, the house can’t bear. Living, it will be ruined faster. If the two houses are locked for 20 years, it will be an empty shelf after returning. I still have to thank the old village chief.
Seeing several quilts on the kang, Qin Xuejuan smiled and said: "This may have been sent by your aunt Baoshuan and her daughter-in-law last night. We will live here these few days to avoid the trouble of going back and forth."
I had never thought of living in the village before. Who would have thought that the houses of the two houses were kept so well by the old village chief and his wife. In this case, I only live here for three or four days.
Before they could say much, the old village chief walked in with a man of medium build. He looked carefully at that man was the old village chief’s son. He remembered the young man who stayed in the supply and marketing agency all day and ate melon seeds. , But now there are a lot of vicissitudes.
"Jianjun, everyone is here, don't you go and see how to fix it?"
"Okay, I'm going now." Xu Jianjun said to Xu Ning: "You take them here to clean up first, and I will show your mother outside."
"Go ahead."
The couple went out. Xu Ning put the suitcase on the kang, then raised his hand and touched it on the kang mat. When he saw that it was clean, he asked Xu Rui to take off his shoes and put it on the kang. Put on the duvet cover."
"Okay." Mid-Autumn Festival, it was a bit cold at night on this day, and I couldn't hold it without a quilt.
The quilts here are made of pure cotton. Compared with the various high-end duck down, silk, velvet, velvet and other quilts they used in the Imperial Capital, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is really warm, and the disadvantage is that the cotton quilt is very heavy and the same. The thick cotton quilt covers the body, making it uncomfortable for people who can press it.
Upon seeing this, Xie Zheng said to Xu Ning: "I will take them to the village store to buy some washbasins, do you have other needs?"
"Brother Zheng, look and buy it." Xu Ning has no other needs, after all, they carry a lot of things.
Xie Zheng led his daughter in front, and Xie Yang and his younger brother followed. The father and son walked out of the house and went to the village supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative is still in that place, but the space is a bit larger. Originally, there was a small mill next to the supply and marketing cooperative. After the mill was closed, the supply and marketing cooperative opened up the walls on both sides, enlarged the scale of operation, and added many other things. Daily necessities can be described as diverse.
Seeing Xie Zheng, many people in the village don’t know much, and there are some who can recognize them, but they are also few. After all, after 20 years, everyone has changed a lot. Besides, Xie Zheng’s temperament is very indifferent, which makes people. Don't dare to greet and approach at will.
But seeing his clothes, I knew that he must have come with Xu Jianjun and the others.
When I came to the supply and marketing agency, there were a few people playing mahjong on a small table. Jiabao saw them coming and said hello with a smile, "Xie Zheng is here, what do you want to buy?"
Xie Zheng is about the same age as him, but the difference between the two standing together is really embarrassing.
"Give me some washbasins." Xie Zheng bent over and picked up the little lemon. "The three of you, what do you want?"
He thinks that there are still many interesting little things in the store, such as the very sticky dish-colored sugar, the soy-based Tang monk meat, and the colorful jelly beans in a thin tube, etc., all of which are childhood memories. Reminiscing about the fun, at that time Xie Zheng would still buy delicious food for Xu Ning, who was behind his ass, but in a blink of an eye, the vicissitudes of life were overwhelming.
Don’t say it’s two small ones. Even Xie Yang, who has always been very stable, became curious when he came to this place. The three of them wandered back and forth in front of the shelves. There are plenty of things to eat and play, but most of them are some very interesting foods.
Xie Zheng put all the things they bought in the washbasin and let Jiabao take care of it. The total cost was less than twenty yuan, and one washbasin was only two and five yuan, and he bought four, which the children ate. Things are just a few cents and a few cents. There are too many to spend a lot of money.
After shopping, he was not in a hurry to go back. Xie Zheng stood here and chatted briefly with Jiabao, naturally talking about the changes and interesting things in Xiangshan Village over the years.
Occasionally people who come to buy things see them, their eyes are glued, mainly because the three children are too cute.
On the way back, Xie Zheng led them to take a look at the gate of the village branch compound. There were already a few people inside who were sorting things out.
"Dad, what are they doing?" Xie Yang looked up and asked, "Do you want to cook outside?"
The little handsome guy thinks that if the wind blows outside, can these meals be clean?
"This is a mobile restaurant that can only be seen in many rural areas. They don’t have a fixed location, so they can go wherever they are needed. If there are no restaurants nearby, they don’t have a fixed location. The chefs of mobile restaurants come to cook, and almost all the dishes they cook are bought by themselves. It is more cost-effective to meet a good cooking skill than in a restaurant."
"But I always feel a little bad outside." Xie Yang led his younger brother and father away.
"That’s the time when you were born. Didn’t the grandfather and grandmother tell you? In that era, almost all of them couldn’t eat enough. It’s good to have a bite. Your grandfather is about the same as you. When I was older, I couldn’t even eat buns with white flour, let alone meat. I could only drink water to satisfy my hunger.” Xie Zheng lowered his head and glanced at his son, “As long as the food is not damaged, it can be eaten. Don’t pick and choose. Picked up."
"Got it." Xie Yang nodded sensibly.
Back home, Xu Ning's sister and brother were still sorting the bedding, but they were almost ready.
Xie Zheng scooped a spoonful of water from the iron bucket in the courtyard and put it into the motor well, and then began to press. It didn’t take long for the water to flow down the motor well. The three children were very interested when they saw it, and they shouted for it. Come to help, Xie Zheng walked away with a smile, and went back to the house to find a clean cloth. After he came out, he squatted on the side of the machine well to wash the basin. Lovable.
"What is this?" Xie Yang pressed twice and felt the power. The younger brother and sister looked curiously beside him, so he let go, but it was a pity that the two little guys had to add up to use it.
"This is a hand-cranked pumping well. This well is more than sixty years old. It was your grandpa who asked someone to do it. Dad drank the water pressed from it when he was young." Xie Zheng simply said to his son. Xie Yang understands the principle of this pumping well. He has learned about air pressure in school.
"Tsk, squeak..."
There was a strange sound, and the twin brothers and sisters looked at the smaller and smaller water flow, and they were all startled.
"Why is there no water?" Seeing the millet grain, he waited for his big watery eyes to look at his father, did he do something wrong?
Xie Zheng sneered softly, got up and poured a spoonful of water into it again while pressing the handle, and the water flow became turbulent again a few moments later.
After the bucket and washbasin were filled with water, the twins walked over and helped Dad clean the washbasin in a decent manner. As a result, when the fleshy little hands were put in, they couldn't help squinting their big beautiful eyes. It was so cold. water.
"Dad, the water is ice."
"Just taken from the ground, the natural temperature is a bit low."
The two little ones were playing in the water here, and Xie Zheng didn’t stop them. The big deal is to change them when the clothes are wet. It’s not a bad thing that the children like to play. He did the same when he was young. Naughty things have not been done less, and now there is no need to restrict children's fun, anyway, there are not many days like this.
After finishing the bed, Xu Ning came out in slippers and put a handful of water on his face. He was really tired after tossing for half an hour.
"Huh?" Xu Ning saw the plastic bag next to it. It was colorful. He opened it and took out a palm-sized packaging bag. "There is actually Tang monk meat. I haven't eaten it in many years, you bought?"
"Mom, mom, I bought it." Millet grains rushed over and lay on her mother's back, "Can Tang Monk meat be immortal?"
"Silly son, how is this possible." Xu Ning couldn't help but laugh, "This is a soy product made from beans."
With wet hands, Xu Ning thought directly about the packaging, and a familiar smell from his memory sprang out.
He took out a piece and sent it to Xie Zheng. Xie Zheng didn't refuse, and opened his mouth to bite. "I don't like this very much, but you, I always bought these things when I was young."
"At that time there were few delicious foods and limited entertainment facilities...Oh, I even bought whistle candy?" She tore the seal on the top of the thin tube, holding her son's hand, and poured the colorful jelly beans inside him. In the palm of his hand, "Taste it, it tastes very sweet."
Seeing this, Xiao Mi Nui sticks out his tongue and adds twice, a few colorful jelly beans stick to the tongue, a sweet taste spreads, it can’t be said how delicious, after all, the two little guys were born here. In addition, the elders are loved and tight, and even the delicious things have been eaten. This is just a momentary freshness.
Little Lemon stepped forward and wanted some more, but after eating the jelly beans in his palm, he was not interested in anything else.
Xu Ning opened his mouth to bite a section of the thin tube and blew it lightly, and a slightly sharp sound came out.
Compared to jelly beans, it is clear that the two little guys are interested in this.
Xu Rui saw this scene when he came out, carrying a small bench and sitting down, chatting with Xie Zheng.
In the morning, the main task was to deliver the necessary materials to the ancestral grave, and then to start work in the afternoon. It was just after ten o'clock. All the elderly people in the village came to the courtyard, chatting and watching the cooks prepare meals nearby. There are also a few women in their forties who are here to help. They are all from the same village from the Xu family who have not yet come out of the Five Fortunes, but they don't have much contact with them. Naturally, they will also be invited to get together this time.
"Doesn't Sister follow along in the afternoon?" Xu Rui asked.
"Your sister, I'm the Xie family now. In our hometown, married women cannot go to the grave." Xu Ning said indifferently: "In the afternoon, you will follow the past and bye bye before the start of work, and then go to the column after the repairs are completed. fragrant."
"I know this." What kind of rule is that married women can't go to the grave.
At least there is no such rule in the magic city. Before my mother went to attend the funeral of Qin Yaokang and his wife, didn't she still go.
However, he just murmured in his heart that there is a local customs in one place, which cannot be said to be feudal superstition.
Of course his sister didn't care, and Xu Rui had nothing to say.
Xu Rui almost never heard his grandma talk about who his grandfather was. He asked his grandma when he was in high school. Grandma only said that she was a fool, and she hardly mentioned other things, but it was grandpa and grandma. Can he listen? Little, every time my grandmother mentioned it, she was not very comfortable, saying that they were utterly desolate.
Xu Rui didn’t understand at the time, but his father told him in private that his grandmother gave birth to three sons and two daughters. When I got up, I was full of sorrow.
The big aunt in my father’s impression was very vague. After all, my father was not very old at that time and couldn’t remember many things, but Xu Rui knew that grandma probably loved the aunt very much in her heart, one day in November every year. , Grandma would always cook a table of hearty dishes. It was obviously not a holiday that day, but later I learned that that day was the anniversary of the old aunt's death.
When the aunt was ten years old when she died, she could not enter her ancestral grave if she was not an adult and was not married.
At that time, Yu Chunhua almost didn't fight with her in-laws for this. In the end, this incident was not what she wanted. Yu Chunhua simply buried her daughter in a place far away from the tomb of Xu Jiazu, so that the group of people sickened her daughters. Xu Jiazu’s tomb is like an imperial tomb, and everyone wants to bury it.
She is not rare.
This time they came back to repair the tomb of Xu Jiazu. The old lady didn't mention the eldest daughter, but Xu Jianjun still wanted to repair the tomb for the eldest sister.
Near noon, they came to the compound with their three children, and Xu Jianjun and his wife had already arrived here.
"Xiao Rui." Xu Jianjun saw his son, got up and walked over, "We didn't buy enough cigarettes. Tomorrow you go to the county to check it out and buy more."
Xu Rui nodded, "Okay, I will drive a trip tomorrow morning. Is there enough for today?"
"enough!"
Xu Ning walked to the middle-aged woman who was holding the spoon. At this time, ribs were being cooked in the big iron pot, and the rich fragrance continued to rush upwards.
"Sister, after the food on the dinner table is enough, you are preparing a table for us alone. Are there enough ingredients?"
The woman raised her head and glanced at Xu Ning, and she screamed in her heart. This woman is so beautiful that she knew almost immediately that this was her employer.
"Okay, the food is good, just the same as that table, isn't it?"
"Yes, I’m sorry to trouble you." The re-prepared table is reserved for the evening. Of course, it’s definitely not just their family at night. Maybe the old village chief’s house and some of the father’s uncles and brothers in the village will go over to eat. These dishes The amount is really sufficient. I don’t have to worry about not having enough to eat at night. You can eat it when you heat it up in the iron pot at home. However, the stove is obviously not usable. Then I will borrow a gas stove from someone. In a few days, just give some money when you return.
The woman waved her hand slightly uncomfortably, "No trouble!"
They paid for it.
The lunch was very lively. After Xie Zheng and Xu Ning finished their meal, they left the table early. The three children stayed peacefully beside their grandparents and uncles. It was estimated that they would not notice that their parents had left early.
The two of them walked around the village slowly, hand in hand, first glanced at the old house of Xu's family, and then unknowingly came to the house in front of the old house with only skeletons left. The roof was almost dilapidated.
Xie Zheng saw the gatehouse and chuckled: "It was here back then. I abducted my daughter-in-law."
Xu Ning glanced sideways and glared at Xie Zheng, "I'm so embarrassed to say."
At that time, she was suffering in her heart and couldn't tell outsiders, but Xie Zheng knew her situation, but she always watched jokes beside her, and actually forced her to submit in that way, which was absolutely disgusting.
The two of them walked over on weeds that could hardly see the road. The door was dilapidated, and it was almost broken into **** with a light push. There was no way.
After more than 20 years, Xie Zheng also sighed slightly in his heart.
He wants time to slow down, slower, or stop at this moment and never run again. He wants to be with his wife forever.
He hugged Xu Ning in his arms and tightened his arms a little bit. He noticed that his wife had twisted his waist and eyes lightly, and then he released his strength, wrapped her in his arms, and touched her forehead, "Kiss! "
Xu Ning's smart eyes looked left and right, and then said with a slight anger, "You did it on purpose, right?"
There are piles of wheat stalks here. As long as the two of them stay in this position, even if someone walks by, they will not find it.
Xie Zheng kissed her forehead, then kissed down little by little, muttering in his mouth: "Relive the old dream."
The two of them haven't made each other for a long time, and they didn't expect that when they let go, it would be a field battle, so Xu Ning almost couldn't bear to be reserved.
But at this time, most of the people were resting at home after lunch. There was no one outside. The parents didn’t know, but Xu Rui was a wink. If they were gone, the three children would definitely be allowed. Rui left easily.
The gasp sounded in this space, getting heavier and heavier, Xu Ning was itchy at the tip of Xie Zheng's heart, and his body was soft and powerless.
His kiss was too hot, but he was also very restrained, and the result of restraint was that Xu Ning was almost not burned clean.
She was weak and limp in his arms, Xie Zheng's kiss teased her lips and tongue wantonly, and the palm of her hand ignited clusters of sparks on her back.
Xie Zheng saw his daughter-in-law's deceptive appearance, like a March peach blossom, delicate and charming, and a certain place was also clamoring fiercely.
"Field battle, do you want?" Brother Zheng let go of her lips and bit her ear, his voice was dull and deep and sexy.
The spring tide surged in Xu Ning's beautiful eyes, her red lips biting softly, "Are you asking my opinion?"
"No, my brother just said hello to you." After that, she lifted the hem of her skirt, dragged Xu Rui's hips, let her slender legs encircle her waist, and licked her head up. The daughter-in-law's small chin said in a temptation tone: "Ningning, don't be too loud, bear with it."
"..." Xu Ning choked silently, biting her lip to endure the shaking of Brother Zheng.
Don't let her be too irritated, but the conscience of heaven and earth, who is more irritating than whom?
With his arms around Xie Zheng's neck, Xu Ning clasped his teeth firmly as he walked around, wishing to tear off a piece of flesh from his body.
After a long time, Xie Zheng returned home with his wife lying softly in his arms. There was no one in the house at this time, and it took at least two o'clock to eat.
After tidying up for Xu Ning, Xie Zheng sent a text message to Xu Rui, and then he put his arms around his wife and slowly closed his eyes.
Xu Rui had long been impatient here. Mere eating was nothing, but the people here almost stared at him, asking questions and answers, not to mention how annoying, but almost overwhelmed.
It’s not an exaggeration to chat with this group of people from my hometown.
It doesn't matter how hard he is at work, but here they are asking their own personal questions, and Xu Rui is still not used to chatting with strangers on private topics.
Perhaps at first, I was thinking about introducing Xu Rui to the younger generation and even his daughter. After learning that he already has a girlfriend, I started to inquire about Xu Rui's girlfriend, where his family is, his personality, etc. When things were not big or small, Xu Rui could only deal with it with energy.
I learned that I was looking for a foreign daughter-in-law, and some of the women in the village were surprised, and of course some wanted to break up.
After all, Xu Rui was in front of her alive. If her daughter could marry Xu Rui, then the whole family would not be allowed to follow the fragrant drink.
I have to say that the people who came here really didn’t understand their expressions, so that Xu Rui was so annoyed that he thought that he would not come back if he didn’t come back in the future, and there were a few old ladies in it that were really annoying. NS.
What are their daughters or nieces and nieces are so good? Don’t look at school, but have a good personality, can do all housework, and can give birth to sons with a big butt, and be filial to the elders, etc. Marry back to ensure that you will not regret it.
wtf?
Xu Rui was speechless. He didn’t find his wife just to have children, do housework and obey his parents. Besides, although he doesn’t look down on anyone, but looking down doesn’t mean that he can marry home as a wife and he has never attended school. This is something that a bachelor can’t accept for a lifetime. His education is here. If you find a wife who has never gone to school, how will you communicate in the future? As for the big **** being able to give birth to a son, where does this feudal superstition come from? His sister is so perfect, didn't she also give birth to two sons?
And filial piety and character, etc., have nothing to do with him. Don't say that he has a girlfriend, even if he doesn't, Xu Rui would not find a girl here to be his wife.
A marriage without a common language is difficult to maintain, to be honest.
By the way, he said that he has a girlfriend, and there are still a few old ladies licking their faces to promote their younger generation, which makes Xu Rui really unhappy.
The key point is that these old ladies are still the elders of the Xu family who have just given birth to the Five Fortunes. Although they can get married after giving birth to the Five Fortunes, he doesn't like those girls who behave extremely pretentiously when they see their eyes glowing green.
Of course, there are also women who make Xu Rui look very good. In terms of Xu Rui, he has to call his cousin. The other party's grandfather Zeng and his grandfather Zeng are the same father.
The other party's appearance is ordinary, but the behavior and demeanor are very calm and generous. Xu Jianjun and his wife also like this child very much. When the other family came to greet her, their parents also wrapped her in a red envelope. This cousin is named Xu Qiuyue, professional. The kindergarten teacher who graduated from the school teaches in the school in the town. Two months ago, he was engaged to a junior high school teacher in the town. The wedding was scheduled for the end of this year.
It is also for this reason that Qin Xuejuan gave the other party a big red envelope. The two red envelopes add up to about two to three thousand. This number is almost the family's annual income from farming.
Xu Rui was completely relieved when he received the text message from Xie Zheng, got up to say hello to his parents, and then led Xie Yang and the three away.
Several old ladies who wanted to work harder could only look at Xu Rui's back and secretly annoyed that such a cash cow ran away under their noses.
What Xu Rui didn't know was that several young girls in the room craned their necks and looked at Xu Rui's back. They were also lost and listless.
When he came home, Xu Rui originally wanted to go in and condemn the sister-in-law, but he didn't want her sister to be asleep, but the brother-in-law came out of the house when he heard the movement.
Hugging a few children on the kang, Xie Zheng let them go, let them lie down and sleep for a while, their brothers came to the yard carrying stools.
"Hey, brother-in-law, you are really unkind. This meal made me almost swallowed by those old ladies. I was so irritating to introduce my younger generation to me. What I said was extremely annoying. What age is it now, and I use my own children as a bargaining chip.
"That's why you have this ability, otherwise why don't they sell it to others?" Xie Zheng chuckled softly.
－－－－－－Off-topic －－－－－－
Look, there is meat residue!
Xu Jianjun and his wife took Xu Rui back to Xiangshan Village and went to the village head's house. The old village head retired a few years ago. Now a man in his thirties who graduated from a vocational school in the village serves as the head of the village. Of course, they want to repair the tomb of the Xu family. They don't need instructions from the village head, but it's also because the old village head has a lot of contacts in the village, and the old house in these years has been taken care of by the old village head, although it is still It was dilapidated, but at any rate this friendship is in my heart.Seeing Xu Jianjun and his wife, the old village chief was so happy that he couldn't hear from ear to ear. He is in his 70s this year, with a slight camel on his back and a lot of deep wrinkles on his face, but he is in good spirits, and the whole person feels particularly tough. There is no problem working up and down the mountain."I'm back?" The old village chief saw the couple, and the whole face became deeper because of the cheerful smile.Xu Jianjun stepped forward and shook his hand, patted twice, "I'm back, how is Brother Baoshuan all these years?""Okay, what's not so good? I have enough food and clothes, and there is spare money every year. It is much better than our days." The old village head who was packing up farm tools in the yard got up and greeted the two of them to enter the house. "Sanya, go call your grandma back.""Oh!" The clean little girl looked at Xu Jianjun and his wife curiously, and then listened to her grandfather's words, and went out crackling on the plastic slippers.The old village chief pointed at the child and smiled, "Jiabao, his little girl, and the two boys above are very skinny.""It looks clever." Qin Xuejuan praised, "Have you gone to school?""Go, all the children in our village go to school. No matter how poor they are, they can't be poorly educated. The children now have to go to school if they want to get out of this remote village." The old village chief knows the benefits of studying. Is it a living example?"But the life in the village in the past two years has been pretty good. Before that girl from your family came back to invest in the school. The school was built so beautifully. The children like to go to school. The college entrance examination has also passed a lot. Unfortunately, she didn't have much success.""To get out of this small village and look at the outside world, this is already promising." Xu Jianjun smiled.The old village chief nodded, "That said, what are you doing here this time?""Discussed with my mother, come back to repair the family's ancestral grave, it will only take three or two days, and the old village chief has to help find someone.""This is a big deal. It's just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people come back from working out. Later, I will go to the village branch horn to help you shout twice. I will recruit ten or eight for you. Let's leave the house for dinner at noon. ""Okay, trouble Baoshuan brother.""No trouble!"When the old sister-in-law came back, the old village chief went to the village to shout twice. The people in the village heard that Xu Jianjun and his wife were back to repair the ancestral grave. They asked a few people to help. Many people rushed to the old village chief's house. When I came here, I wanted to see what Xu Jianjun was like after leaving the village for 20 years.In less than ten minutes, the old village chief's house was full of people. It seemed that the couple did not see the old, and they even looked so grand. I was envious.When I saw Xu Rui, who was leaning on the wall, the handsome and unspeakable, I felt that this family simply didn't look like they had gone out of their village.Some old people inquired about Yu Chunhua and Old Yaoshu. They learned that the two of them are now in good health. They felt that they were really able to live. Yu Chunhua was in his early 90s, and Old Yaoshu was about to be a hundred years old. , Now this age really has a long life.Xu Jianjun was chatting with a familiar middle-aged man, and said to Xu Rui: "Xiao Rui, get the cigarette in the car.""Okay!" Xu Rui nodded and went out. In the sight of everyone, he came to the van at the door, took out two high-end cigarettes from the co-driver's position, and came back in their scorching eyes, and stuffed them into Xu Jianjun's hands.This time, I don't know how many little daughters-in-laws and little girls' eyes are falling out, they have never seen such a good-looking man.People are afraid of comparison. Looking at the handsome and handsome Xu Rui in front of him, and thinking about my husband, I suddenly realize that I don't want to sleep with my man on the bed at night. Why is it so uncomfortable?Not knowing the thoughts of these people, Xu Rui came back and handed two cigarettes to his father. Xu Jianjun opened it on the spot and stuffed each man in the house with a box. These cigarettes were bought by Xu Jianjun in the Imperial Capital before he came. That's a lot. Each piece is 800 yuan, and a box retails for 80. It can be regarded as a high-end brand among domestic cigarettes."Brother, this cigarette is not cheap. Our boss smokes this." It was a rich man in the village, a man from the Xiaofeng family. He is now in his 50s. He still has to work outside every year, but Now, anyhow, he is also a contractor, and he can earn one hundred and eighty thousand yuan every year. He is already a very remarkable person in the village.Xu Jianjun smiled and said, "I don't understand this, and I don't smoke. One box of two boxes a month is enough. I bought this for you."After hearing this, everyone grinned and thanked.In the village, the older men smoke cigarettes. Most of the young middle-aged men smoke filters, while the elderly like to smoke more intense tobacco. It may be that the previous days were too hard and too stressful, and the days were comfortable and relaxed. After coming down, they got into some habits, smoking two cigarettes a day, and a small drink, and the days passed so comfortably for a lifetime. They didn't expect to be rich and wealthy, they were casual people.With the help of the old village chief, their family left ten people to help repair the ancestral tomb. They only waited for tomorrow to start, and they will take the old village chief to the county or town this afternoon to purchase the materials they need.County No. 1 High School, even if it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, the school is guarded. When Xu Ning and Xie Zheng brought the three children over, they looked at the open school gate and greeted the guard uncle leisurely. After registering, I stepped into the school."This is where my mother reads?" Xie Yang saw this school for the first time. The area is not large. You can almost see the opposite wall from here. The white paint on the school building is mottled, the only thing worth it What I looked at was the very new building standing on the other side. Looking at the design, I knew it should be a gymnasium."Yes, Dad also studied here for three years." Xu Ning glanced around. "Many places are still the same as they were back then. There is no change. The teaching building is no different from 20 years ago.""It shouldn't be many years before, and a new teaching building will be rebuilt." Xie Zheng said lightly.Xu Ning nodded, it was indeed the case.Due to the holidays, there are only two middle-aged uncles guarding the gates at the school, and students can occasionally see nearby students in the school. Of course, there are people playing basketball on the playground at this time, probably in the village near the school. Young people, there is a door at the end of the school playground for people to enter and exit. The door over there is open most of the time when school starts.Xie Yang feels that this school is really very small, and it is also very shabby. Compared with the school he is currently studying, it is absolutely different. The only thing he can tell is the gymnasium, but he stands outside. From the inside, compared with their school's gymnasium, the difference is not even a little bit.In his impression, his parents are very powerful, and he never thought that they both graduated from here.Zhang Meng and his wife came over at ten o'clock, and they did not bring their son this time."Why are you two?""I went fishing with Zhang Fan. I left before dawn in the morning." Zhang Meng came over and greeted Xu Ning happily, lowered his head and pinched Xiao Lemon's face, "Why didn't you go back?""Take the children back to toss in a hurry. Today, my parents used to sort out the trivial matters over there, and they will come back tonight. We will wait for tomorrow to pass.""You can't live in your hometown anymore? Go to my house tonight. A few years ago, a two-story small building was built in the house. There are a lot of rooms." Zhang Meng invited them.Xu Ning didn't refuse, "I will go back and have a look tomorrow. I don't know what to do with my parents. I'm grateful in the village after the day. Go around?""Of course, I prefer to go to the market in our hometown than to go to the supermarket in Magic City.""Your parents don't plan to live with your brother?""In a few years, they think they can do things now, they don't want to go to the magic city and do nothing all day. Actually, think about it, many parents generally don't want to leave their homeland, but my brother just got married and expects to have a baby. My parents can go to the magic city to help them with their children for a few years, and then they may live there.""Where is the wife?" Xu Ning raised her eyebrows, unexpectedly that little boy was also married back then."Nancheng is not far from the magic capital. Nancheng has a long history. My younger siblings are also standard ladies. They opened a cafe downstairs in the company where Zhang Fan works.The two carefully talked about what happened after the separation, and Xue Jialun and Xie Zheng followed slowly. Seeing them two circling the playground in front, Xie Zheng greeted Xue Jialun to sit and rest on a big rock under the shade of the tree on the edge of the playground. Son.Little Lemon was held in his father's arms, but Xie Yang took his younger brother to jump in the sandpit there.When the students playing basketball on the playground saw them, they occasionally glanced at them with curious eyes, or discussed two sentences, of course, because they were so far apart, they couldn't hear them at all."You two really didn't plan to have a second child?""Can't see it?" Zhang Meng squinted his eyes and smiled triumphantly. "Quietly tell you, I'm about two months now.""Really?" Xu Ning smiled when she saw her happy look: "Congratulations.""Actually, I thought it would be nice to have a son before, but my husband and I both want a daughter. Besides, I am my own boss, and there are not so many restrictions. I just want to have another one. Who knew it would be so easy to get pregnant. My mother-in-law's relatives don't know yet. Let me tell others after three months. You pretend not to know.""Okay!" Xu Ning couldn't laugh or cry.At noon, they had a casual meal at a restaurant in the county, and then the two families took some things and visited the homes of several teachers. In the afternoon, Xue Jialun drove back with Zhang Meng, and the two agreed to go together the day after tomorrow. Go to the bazaar.When Xu Rui returned with his parents, it was already dusk. Everything in the village was ready. Someone in the county would send materials there tomorrow morning. The new tombstones were also booked. Of course, the tombstones are not used now. The hammers and chisels are carved by machines, and the speed is still very fast.As for the chef of the mobile restaurant, the old village chief also helped to find it. It is said that people in the village have had weddings and weddings over the years. Almost all of them are looking for the restaurant. The chef's son, he is now in charge, and he cooks good dishes.In mobile restaurants, they usually help them purchase dishes and customize a few dishes for each table, and then the host will settle the payment for them.Now it is a good day with pleasant weather. There are a lot of people getting married. The family's reputation is there, so it's hardly leisure all the year round. This time I invite each other to cook because I have agreed to the banquet for the two wedding banquets. , So the couple simply separated. The wife came here to cook and the husband did the banquet. The main reason was that the number of people here was relatively small. Except for the individual who helped, it was the elderly elders in the village. There is less than five tables, but the banquets in rural areas are generally available to anyone who knows them in the village. At least ten tables and eight tables are available. The couple is allocated according to the workload, but the craftsmanship is also very different. If it was bad, Xu Jianjun did not refuse, only that he would let them buy all the dishes they needed. They hadn't counted it for a few days, but it was the last piece of the bill.Probably the old village head told the other party about the identity of Xu Jianjun and his wife, and they were not afraid that the employer would repay the debt, so they simply agreed.Early the next morning, Xie Zheng held his daughter who was still in a daze, and everyone got into the van and went straight to Xiangshan Village.When I came to the village, almost all the people here were up. There were naughty children in and out of the village playing and playing, and the **** and the dog were so lively.The car stopped at their old house first, everyone got out of the car, and Xie Zheng took the key to open the door of his house.The courtyard of the Jiang family's old house is still the same as it was 20 years ago. There is a large cement floor in the courtyard, and the corner of the wall is a small vegetable bed. After so many years, there are still mature dishes. This is the old village head's wife who is idle. When I came here to help take care of the house, I sprinkled it casually. Anyway, I don't have to worry about it, and I can still have fresh vegetables to eat.The house is somewhat damp. After all, it was a busy autumn harvest period before the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to the old village chief's statement, there has been no smoke and fire for more than a month, but the soldiers in the house are not dusty. The old village chief gave Jiang The old man made a phone call, and occasionally the old village chief's daughter-in-law, or someone in the village who has more guests, will be sent to the houses on both sides to live in. The two families have no objection to this. After all, the house can't bear. Living, it will be ruined faster. If the two houses are locked for 20 years, it will be an empty shelf after returning. I still have to thank the old village chief.Seeing several quilts on the kang, Qin Xuejuan smiled and said: "This may have been sent by your aunt Baoshuan and her daughter-in-law last night. We will live here these few days to avoid the trouble of going back and forth."I had never thought of living in the village before. Who would have thought that the houses of the two houses were kept so well by the old village chief and his wife. In this case, I only live here for three or four days.Before they could say much, the old village chief walked in with a man of medium build. He looked carefully at that man was the old village chief's son. He remembered the young man who stayed in the supply and marketing agency all day and ate melon seeds. , But now there are a lot of vicissitudes."Jianjun, everyone is here, don't you go and see how to fix it?""Okay, I'm going now." Xu Jianjun said to Xu Ning: "You take them here to clean up first, and I will show your mother outside.""Go ahead."The couple went out. Xu Ning put the suitcase on the kang, then raised his hand and touched it on the kang mat. When he saw that it was clean, he asked Xu Rui to take off his shoes and put it on the kang. Put on the duvet cover.""Okay." Mid-Autumn Festival, it was a bit cold at night on this day, and I couldn't hold it without a quilt.The quilts here are made of pure cotton. Compared with the various high-end duck down, silk, velvet, velvet and other quilts they used in the Imperial Capital, there are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it is really warm, and the disadvantage is that the cotton quilt is very heavy and the same. The thick cotton quilt covers the body, making it uncomfortable for people who can press it.Upon seeing this, Xie Zheng said to Xu Ning: "I will take them to the village store to buy some washbasins, do you have other needs?""Brother Zheng, look and buy it." Xu Ning has no other needs, after all, they carry a lot of things.Xie Zheng led his daughter in front, and Xie Yang and his younger brother followed. The father and son walked out of the house and went to the village supply and marketing cooperative.The supply and marketing cooperative is still in that place, but the space is a bit larger. Originally, there was a small mill next to the supply and marketing cooperative. After the mill was closed, the supply and marketing cooperative opened up the walls on both sides, enlarged the scale of operation, and added many other things. Daily necessities can be described as diverse.Seeing Xie Zheng, many people in the village don't know much, and there are some who can recognize them, but they are also few. After all, after 20 years, everyone has changed a lot. Besides, Xie Zheng's temperament is very indifferent, which makes people. Don't dare to greet and approach at will.But seeing his clothes, I knew that he must have come with Xu Jianjun and the others.When I came to the supply and marketing agency, there were a few people playing mahjong on a small table. Jiabao saw them coming and said hello with a smile, "Xie Zheng is here, what do you want to buy?"Xie Zheng is about the same age as him, but the difference between the two standing together is really embarrassing."Give me some washbasins." Xie Zheng bent over and picked up the little lemon. "The three of you, what do you want?"He thinks that there are still many interesting little things in the store, such as the very sticky dish-colored sugar, the soy-based Tang monk meat, and the colorful jelly beans in a thin tube, etc., all of which are childhood memories. Reminiscing about the fun, at that time Xie Zheng would still buy delicious food for Xu Ning, who was behind his ass, but in a blink of an eye, the vicissitudes of life were overwhelming.Don't say it's two small ones. Even Xie Yang, who has always been very stable, became curious when he came to this place. The three of them wandered back and forth in front of the shelves. There are plenty of things to eat and play, but most of them are some very interesting foods.Xie Zheng put all the things they bought in the washbasin and let Jiabao take care of it. The total cost was less than twenty yuan, and one washbasin was only two and five yuan, and he bought four, which the children ate. Things are just a few cents and a few cents. There are too many to spend a lot of money.After shopping, he was not in a hurry to go back. Xie Zheng stood here and chatted briefly with Jiabao, naturally talking about the changes and interesting things in Xiangshan Village over the years.Occasionally people who come to buy things see them, their eyes are glued, mainly because the three children are too cute.On the way back, Xie Zheng led them to take a look at the gate of the village branch compound. There were already a few people inside who were sorting things out."Dad, what are they doing?" Xie Yang looked up and asked, "Do you want to cook outside?"The little handsome guy thinks that if the wind blows outside, can these meals be clean?"This is a mobile restaurant that can only be seen in many rural areas. They don't have a fixed location, so they can go wherever they are needed. If there are no restaurants nearby, they don't have a fixed location. The chefs of mobile restaurants come to cook, and almost all the dishes they cook are bought by themselves. It is more cost-effective to meet a good cooking skill than in a restaurant.""But I always feel a little bad outside." Xie Yang led his younger brother and father away."That's the time when you were born. Didn't the grandfather and grandmother tell you? In that era, almost all of them couldn't eat enough. It's good to have a bite. Your grandfather is about the same as you. When I was older, I couldn't even eat buns with white flour, let alone meat. I could only drink water to satisfy my hunger. Xie Zheng lowered his head and glanced at his son, As long as the food is not damaged, it can be eaten. Don't pick and choose. Picked up.""Got it." Xie Yang nodded sensibly.Back home, Xu Ning's sister and brother were still sorting the bedding, but they were almost ready.Xie Zheng scooped a spoonful of water from the iron bucket in the courtyard and put it into the motor well, and then began to press. It didn't take long for the water to flow down the motor well. The three children were very interested when they saw it, and they shouted for it. Come to help, Xie Zheng walked away with a smile, and went back to the house to find a clean cloth. After he came out, he squatted on the side of the machine well to wash the basin. Lovable."What is this?" Xie Yang pressed twice and felt the power. The younger brother and sister looked curiously beside him, so he let go, but it was a pity that the two little guys had to add up to use it."This is a hand-cranked pumping well. This well is more than sixty years old. It was your grandpa who asked someone to do it. Dad drank the water pressed from it when he was young." Xie Zheng simply said to his son. Xie Yang understands the principle of this pumping well. He has learned about air pressure in school."Tsk, squeak..."There was a strange sound, and the twin brothers and sisters looked at the smaller and smaller water flow, and they were all startled."Why is there no water?" Seeing the millet grain, he waited for his big watery eyes to look at his father, did he do something wrong?Xie Zheng sneered softly, got up and poured a spoonful of water into it again while pressing the handle, and the water flow became turbulent again a few moments later.After the bucket and washbasin were filled with water, the twins walked over and helped Dad clean the washbasin in a decent manner. As a result, when the fleshy little hands were put in, they couldn't help squinting their big beautiful eyes. It was so cold. water."Dad, the water is ice.""Just taken from the ground, the natural temperature is a bit low."The two little ones were playing in the water here, and Xie Zheng didn't stop them. The big deal is to change them when the clothes are wet. It's not a bad thing that the children like to play. He did the same when he was young. Naughty things have not been done less, and now there is no need to restrict children's fun, anyway, there are not many days like this.After finishing the bed, Xu Ning came out in slippers and put a handful of water on his face. He was really tired after tossing for half an hour."Huh?" Xu Ning saw the plastic bag next to it. It was colorful. He opened it and took out a palm-sized packaging bag. "There is actually Tang monk meat. I haven't eaten it in many years, you bought?""Mom, mom, I bought it." Millet grains rushed over and lay on her mother's back, "Can Tang Monk meat be immortal?""Silly son, how is this possible." Xu Ning couldn't help but laugh, "This is a soy product made from beans."With wet hands, Xu Ning thought directly about the packaging, and a familiar smell from his memory sprang out.He took out a piece and sent it to Xie Zheng. Xie Zheng didn't refuse, and opened his mouth to bite. "I don't like this very much, but you, I always bought these things when I was young.""At that time there were few delicious foods and limited entertainment facilities...Oh, I even bought whistle candy?" She tore the seal on the top of the thin tube, holding her son's hand, and poured the colorful jelly beans inside him. In the palm of his hand, "Taste it, it tastes very sweet."Seeing this, Xiao Mi Nui sticks out his tongue and adds twice, a few colorful jelly beans stick to the tongue, a sweet taste spreads, it can't be said how delicious, after all, the two little guys were born here. In addition, the elders are loved and tight, and even the delicious things have been eaten. This is just a momentary freshness.Little Lemon stepped forward and wanted some more, but after eating the jelly beans in his palm, he was not interested in anything else.Xu Ning opened his mouth to bite a section of the thin tube and blew it lightly, and a slightly sharp sound came out.Compared to jelly beans, it is clear that the two little guys are interested in this.Xu Rui saw this scene when he came out, carrying a small bench and sitting down, chatting with Xie Zheng.In the morning, the main task was to deliver the necessary materials to the ancestral grave, and then to start work in the afternoon. It was just after ten o'clock. All the elderly people in the village came to the courtyard, chatting and watching the cooks prepare meals nearby. There are also a few women in their forties who are here to help. They are all from the same village from the Xu family who have not yet come out of the Five Fortunes, but they don't have much contact with them. Naturally, they will also be invited to get together this time."Doesn't Sister follow along in the afternoon?" Xu Rui asked."Your sister, I'm the Xie family now. In our hometown, married women cannot go to the grave." Xu Ning said indifferently: "In the afternoon, you will follow the past and bye bye before the start of work, and then go to the column after the repairs are completed. fragrant.""I know this." What kind of rule is that married women can't go to the grave.At least there is no such rule in the magic city. Before my mother went to attend the funeral of Qin Yaokang and his wife, didn't she still go.However, he just murmured in his heart that there is a local customs in one place, which cannot be said to be feudal superstition.Of course his sister didn't care, and Xu Rui had nothing to say.Xu Rui almost never heard his grandma talk about who his grandfather was. He asked his grandma when he was in high school. Grandma only said that she was a fool, and she hardly mentioned other things, but it was grandpa and grandma. Can he listen? Little, every time my grandmother mentioned it, she was not very comfortable, saying that they were utterly desolate.Xu Rui didn't understand at the time, but his father told him in private that his grandmother gave birth to three sons and two daughters. When I got up, I was full of sorrow.The big aunt in my father's impression was very vague. After all, my father was not very old at that time and couldn't remember many things, but Xu Rui knew that grandma probably loved the aunt very much in her heart, one day in November every year. , Grandma would always cook a table of hearty dishes. It was obviously not a holiday that day, but later I learned that that day was the anniversary of the old aunt's death.When the aunt was ten years old when she died, she could not enter her ancestral grave if she was not an adult and was not married.At that time, Yu Chunhua almost didn't fight with her in-laws for this. In the end, this incident was not what she wanted. Yu Chunhua simply buried her daughter in a place far away from the tomb of Xu Jiazu, so that the group of people sickened her daughters. Xu Jiazu's tomb is like an imperial tomb, and everyone wants to bury it.She is not rare.This time they came back to repair the tomb of Xu Jiazu. The old lady didn't mention the eldest daughter, but Xu Jianjun still wanted to repair the tomb for the eldest sister.Near noon, they came to the compound with their three children, and Xu Jianjun and his wife had already arrived here."Xiao Rui." Xu Jianjun saw his son, got up and walked over, "We didn't buy enough cigarettes. Tomorrow you go to the county to check it out and buy more."Xu Rui nodded, "Okay, I will drive a trip tomorrow morning. Is there enough for today?""enough!"Xu Ning walked to the middle-aged woman who was holding the spoon. At this time, ribs were being cooked in the big iron pot, and the rich fragrance continued to rush upwards."Sister, after the food on the dinner table is enough, you are preparing a table for us alone. Are there enough ingredients?"The woman raised her head and glanced at Xu Ning, and she screamed in her heart. This woman is so beautiful that she knew almost immediately that this was her employer."Okay, the food is good, just the same as that table, isn't it?""Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you." The re-prepared table is reserved for the evening. Of course, it's definitely not just their family at night. Maybe the old village chief's house and some of the father's uncles and brothers in the village will go over to eat. These dishes The amount is really sufficient. I don't have to worry about not having enough to eat at night. You can eat it when you heat it up in the iron pot at home. However, the stove is obviously not usable. Then I will borrow a gas stove from someone. In a few days, just give some money when you return.The woman waved her hand slightly uncomfortably, "No trouble!"They paid for it.The lunch was very lively. After Xie Zheng and Xu Ning finished their meal, they left the table early. The three children stayed peacefully beside their grandparents and uncles. It was estimated that they would not notice that their parents had left early.The two of them walked around the village slowly, hand in hand, first glanced at the old house of Xu's family, and then unknowingly came to the house in front of the old house with only skeletons left. The roof was almost dilapidated.Xie Zheng saw the gatehouse and chuckled: "It was here back then. I abducted my daughter-in-law."Xu Ning glanced sideways and glared at Xie Zheng, "I'm so embarrassed to say."At that time, she was suffering in her heart and couldn't tell outsiders, but Xie Zheng knew her situation, but she always watched jokes beside her, and actually forced her to submit in that way, which was absolutely disgusting.The two of them walked over on weeds that could hardly see the road. The door was dilapidated, and it was almost broken into **** with a light push. There was no way.After more than 20 years, Xie Zheng also sighed slightly in his heart.He wants time to slow down, slower, or stop at this moment and never run again. He wants to be with his wife forever.He hugged Xu Ning in his arms and tightened his arms a little bit. He noticed that his wife had twisted his waist and eyes lightly, and then he released his strength, wrapped her in his arms, and touched her forehead, "Kiss! "Xu Ning's smart eyes looked left and right, and then said with a slight anger, "You did it on purpose, right?"There are piles of wheat stalks here. As long as the two of them stay in this position, even if someone walks by, they will not find it.Xie Zheng kissed her forehead, then kissed down little by little, muttering in his mouth: "Relive the old dream."The two of them haven't made each other for a long time, and they didn't expect that when they let go, it would be a field battle, so Xu Ning almost couldn't bear to be reserved.But at this time, most of the people were resting at home after lunch. There was no one outside. The parents didn't know, but Xu Rui was a wink. If they were gone, the three children would definitely be allowed. Rui left easily.The gasp sounded in this space, getting heavier and heavier, Xu Ning was itchy at the tip of Xie Zheng's heart, and his body was soft and powerless.His kiss was too hot, but he was also very restrained, and the result of restraint was that Xu Ning was almost not burned clean.She was weak and limp in his arms, Xie Zheng's kiss teased her lips and tongue wantonly, and the palm of her hand ignited clusters of sparks on her back.Xie Zheng saw his daughter-in-law's deceptive appearance, like a March peach blossom, delicate and charming, and a certain place was also clamoring fiercely."Field battle, do you want?" Brother Zheng let go of her lips and bit her ear, his voice was dull and deep and sexy.The spring tide surged in Xu Ning's beautiful eyes, her red lips biting softly, "Are you asking my opinion?""No, my brother just said hello to you." After that, she lifted the hem of her skirt, dragged Xu Rui's hips, let her slender legs encircle her waist, and licked her head up. The daughter-in-law's small chin said in a temptation tone: "Ningning, don't be too loud, bear with it.""..." Xu Ning choked silently, biting her lip to endure the shaking of Brother Zheng.Don't let her be too irritated, but the conscience of heaven and earth, who is more irritating than whom?With his arms around Xie Zheng's neck, Xu Ning clasped his teeth firmly as he walked around, wishing to tear off a piece of flesh from his body.After a long time, Xie Zheng returned home with his wife lying softly in his arms. There was no one in the house at this time, and it took at least two o'clock to eat.After tidying up for Xu Ning, Xie Zheng sent a text message to Xu Rui, and then he put his arms around his wife and slowly closed his eyes.Xu Rui had long been impatient here. Mere eating was nothing, but the people here almost stared at him, asking questions and answers, not to mention how annoying, but almost overwhelmed.It's not an exaggeration to chat with this group of people from my hometown.It doesn't matter how hard he is at work, but here they are asking their own personal questions, and Xu Rui is still not used to chatting with strangers on private topics.Perhaps at first, I was thinking about introducing Xu Rui to the younger generation and even his daughter. After learning that he already has a girlfriend, I started to inquire about Xu Rui's girlfriend, where his family is, his personality, etc. When things were not big or small, Xu Rui could only deal with it with energy.I learned that I was looking for a foreign daughter-in-law, and some of the women in the village were surprised, and of course some wanted to break up.After all, Xu Rui was in front of her alive. If her daughter could marry Xu Rui, then the whole family would not be allowed to follow the fragrant drink.I have to say that the people who came here really didn't understand their expressions, so that Xu Rui was so annoyed that he thought that he would not come back if he didn't come back in the future, and there were a few old ladies in it that were really annoying. NS.What are their daughters or nieces and nieces are so good? Don't look at school, but have a good personality, can do all housework, and can give birth to sons with a big butt, and be filial to the elders, etc. Marry back to ensure that you will not regret it.wtf?Xu Rui was speechless. He didn't find his wife just to have children, do housework and obey his parents. Besides, although he doesn't look down on anyone, but looking down doesn't mean that he can marry home as a wife and he has never attended school. This is something that a bachelor can't accept for a lifetime. His education is here. If you find a wife who has never gone to school, how will you communicate in the future? As for the big **** being able to give birth to a son, where does this feudal superstition come from? His sister is so perfect, didn't she also give birth to two sons?And filial piety and character, etc., have nothing to do with him. Don't say that he has a girlfriend, even if he doesn't, Xu Rui would not find a girl here to be his wife.A marriage without a common language is difficult to maintain, to be honest.By the way, he said that he has a girlfriend, and there are still a few old ladies licking their faces to promote their younger generation, which makes Xu Rui really unhappy.The key point is that these old ladies are still the elders of the Xu family who have just given birth to the Five Fortunes. Although they can get married after giving birth to the Five Fortunes, he doesn't like those girls who behave extremely pretentiously when they see their eyes glowing green.Of course, there are also women who make Xu Rui look very good. In terms of Xu Rui, he has to call his cousin. The other party's grandfather Zeng and his grandfather Zeng are the same father.The other party's appearance is ordinary, but the behavior and demeanor are very calm and generous. Xu Jianjun and his wife also like this child very much. When the other family came to greet her, their parents also wrapped her in a red envelope. This cousin is named Xu Qiuyue, professional. The kindergarten teacher who graduated from the school teaches in the school in the town. Two months ago, he was engaged to a junior high school teacher in the town. The wedding was scheduled for the end of this year.It is also for this reason that Qin Xuejuan gave the other party a big red envelope. The two red envelopes add up to about two to three thousand. This number is almost the family's annual income from farming.Xu Rui was completely relieved when he received the text message from Xie Zheng, got up to say hello to his parents, and then led Xie Yang and the three away.Several old ladies who wanted to work harder could only look at Xu Rui's back and secretly annoyed that such a cash cow ran away under their noses.What Xu Rui didn't know was that several young girls in the room craned their necks and looked at Xu Rui's back. They were also lost and listless.When he came home, Xu Rui originally wanted to go in and condemn the sister-in-law, but he didn't want her sister to be asleep, but the brother-in-law came out of the house when he heard the movement.Hugging a few children on the kang, Xie Zheng let them go, let them lie down and sleep for a while, their brothers came to the yard carrying stools."Hey, brother-in-law, you are really unkind. This meal made me almost swallowed by those old ladies. I was so irritating to introduce my younger generation to me. What I said was extremely annoying. What age is it now, and I use my own children as a bargaining chip."That's why you have this ability, otherwise why don't they sell it to others?" Xie Zheng chuckled softly.Off-topic Look, there is meat residue!
