Xu Rui sighed when he heard the words, "It didn't comfort me at all, and I should go back early after I have cleaned up, otherwise it may be more noisy."
After Xu Jianjun and his wife came back, they packed up some things for worship. The three of them left, but after that, only Xu Jianjun will be left there. Qin Xuejuan and Xu Rui will return after the worship. Today this is the starting meal, and it is considered as a starting meal. It’s been a long time since I returned to my hometown, I specially invited people of the same ethnic group to gather together, and then I have to wait for a meal before I leave. They are going to live in the village these days. As for the purchase of firewood, rice, oil and salt, it is convenient. What is not used up can be given to the villagers and cannot be wasted.
Xie Zheng went to take a look at his wife, and saw that she was still sleeping peacefully in the bed, so he came to the master bedroom. The three children were already asleep next to each other.
It was inevitable that the child could not find an adult when he got up, and Xie Zheng was about to take a nap against the quilt on the kang head.
Behind the house, one or two words and the sound of people walking around in the village can be heard occasionally, and then the chirping of chickens or the chirping of birds, the whole ear actually makes people feel that it is not noisy, and here is his childhood The place where I have lived is not unfamiliar even if the house looks very mottled and old now.
When I opened my eyes again, the children were no longer on the kang.
He got up and lifted the thin quilt on his body. When he opened the door, he saw three children sitting at the door of the kitchen. Xie Yang was telling a story to his younger siblings with a book at this time.
"Dad is awake."
Xie Zheng nodded, "Have grandma and uncle come back yet?"
"Grandma is back, uncle did not." Xie Yang pointed to another room, "Grandma is resting in that room."
"Well, keep your voice down. Don't disturb your grandma and mother." Xie Zheng didn't continue to sleep either. He moved a chair and sat down in the yard. It was almost half past four at this time. It seemed that the weather could end in light rain at night. , The weather looked a little gloomy.
At this time, the old village chief outside brought his son over with a small cart with a gas tank on it.
"Uncle Baoshuan!" Xie Zheng got up and greeted him.
The old village chief patted the body of the gas tank, "Aren't you going to live here for a few days? There are two gas tanks in the house. You use this first. The gas inside is full, enough for you to use."
Xie Zheng did not refuse, and helped Jiabao carry the media in, "Thank you, Uncle Baoshuan."
"What are the thanks from the folks in the village?" The old village head didn't care, looked at the three children, and smiled at Xie Zheng: "You Xie family can be considered as having a future."
"...Hmm!" Xie Zheng nodded with a smile.
Thank you for being born again, so as not to let him Xie's family break.
The father and son did not stay here long, but when they were leaving, Xie Zheng sent them to the door, "Uncle Baoshuan, bring Jiabao over for dinner tonight, Ningning reserved a table of food for noon."
The old village chief did not refuse, and simply nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll come over at dinner in the evening."
Xu Ning opened his eyes in a daze. It was already dusk outside the window, and the golden sunset was shining brightly in the distance.
Going out of the room with a yawn, the twins entangled for a while.
"Mom, you finally got up."
"Mom is a big slacker."
"Mengmeng is more industrious than her mother."
Xu Ning raised his hand and grunted baldly on their heads twice, "Yes, yes, you are both hardworking bees, don't make trouble, mom go and wash your face."
Flicking a little bit of water in the basin, she washed her face with water, and the sleepy bugs dissipated instantly under the cooling effect, but the whole body was still a little tired, and the body was naturally uncomfortable after sleeping for a long time.
"Parents are not at home?" Xu Ning returned to the house and fetched a bottle of water and milk essence and gently wiped it on his face.
"Mom went to visit another house. Dad and Xu Rui were still busy outside. They were worried that it might rain at night. All those things have to be cleaned up and they should be back soon." Xie Zheng saw that his wife's face was pretty good, and he was relieved. NS.
Xu Ning looked up at the setting sun in the distance. It didn't look like it could rain.
About seven o’clock, Xu Jianjun and his wife, Xu Rui and the old village chief, and two other couples in the village came back together. At noon, Xu Ning asked the mobile chef to cook an extra table, just for the evening meal, as for tomorrow. In the morning, you can go to the market to eat some fried dough porridge or something. You can also make it by yourself at noon, and you don’t need to buy too much, just enough for them to eat in the past few days.
Xu Ning got up and went to prepare the food. It was actually not troublesome. Some dishes needed to be re-fried in the pot. It was very easy. Can.
The sisters and brothers of Xu Ning are busy working below, and the old village chief’s wife is coming to help. Qin Xuejuan is dragged onto the kang. Today there is no rule for men and women to sit separately. There is just one table of dishes, and the kang is not small. It’s just a meal, not so particular.
The old village chief also brought a handful of beer and two bottles of liquor from the supply and marketing agency. Can you drink such a large table of dishes at night anyway, not just two sips of wine?
A plate of dishes was brought up out of the pot, and soon everyone sat around the big kang and moved their chopsticks.
The three children didn't eat too much at night, so Xu Ning specially used a small bowl to serve them, so as not to see all the chopsticks mixed on the plate.
In fact, after lunch, the unfinished meals were packaged by the villagers. If they were before, they would also bring them back. However, they have to entertain guests for dinner at night. Naturally, they can’t be served with leftovers. It is their feelings towards this village that they have not changed, but in the past few years, the situation of the Xu family, returning to the village and eating the leftovers, do not say that Qin Xuejuan and Xu Jianjun do not like them either. These feelings are irrelevant, and they are not showing off money. After all, It’s normal to eat leftovers leftovers. Today’s food is mixed with many chopsticks and can’t be swallowed anymore.
"Jianjun, you are about to retire at your age, right?"
"Yeah, I'm 59 this year, and I will retire in five or six years." At that time, the son will probably be married, and maybe the child will also be there. At that stage, he will be able to spend money at home with grandchildren. beautiful.
Although there are still three grandchildren, the twins will be in their teens in five or six years. I'm afraid I can't play with my grandfather, which is a bit regretful.
"Our village also left you with a promising future." They knew Xu Jianjun's position, a ministerial-level national cadre. Everyone in the village felt proud of him. Although this is a rare opportunity for Xu Jianjun to come back, the other party She is busy with her work, and her old mother is also filial to her. There are no close relatives in the village, so naturally there is no need to come back often.
Of course, the road in the village was repaired by Qin Xuejuan. The villagers are very grateful for this. In the past, when it rained and snowed, no one would want to go out. Going out would inevitably be covered in mud. Now it’s fine. When it rains or snows, there is no problem at all. The cement roads extending in all directions in the village are in their hearts. Usually the roads in the village can be cleaned by the diligent villagers carrying a broom. There is no need to find someone to clean it alone.
It's now after the autumn harvest. Looking at the hutongs and the streets, drying food can become much easier.
Xu Jianjun took a sip of white wine and swallowed it with his teeth.
"Hey, it's hard to say. Since Ningning was admitted to college, fewer than ten children in the village have gone to college in these years, and the school is not good. The best one is Changshan's son, who passed the exam. A two books, the whole family also tightened their belts to live, although the student fund left by Ningning is still there." The old village chief’s drink volume is obviously good, at least he drank white wine, unlike Xu Jianjun. Tangled, "But I stayed outside after graduation. I don’t know how I’m going. People don’t go home, but they can come back during the New Year, but they just stayed for three to five days and left. Hey, it’s not like A filial child."
"No, I've been reading for so many years." This man is Xu Jianjun's next cousin, and Xu Ning called the other's second uncle.
"When I came back last year during the Chinese New Year, I brought a piece of clothes for his parents. I guess they came back to buy the clothes in the county. I didn’t have anything else. They have been working for the New Year. They looked special every year. Shame, he always said that there is a lot of work pressure outside, and his parents raised him so much. Whoever got sick called to ask him to come back and have a look. They also stubbornly said that the unit is too busy to walk away, and the company often takes time off. The company may be unhappy. They would lose their jobs. The more often, Chang Shan and the others would not call their sons. After they married their daughters-in-law, they would be even more powerful. They would return with their children. That attitude... Ay, really ungrateful."
"I think it might have something to do with his wife." The second auntie took a chopstick and stuffed the meat into her mouth. This second aunt is also refreshing. She is very bold when drinking beer. She is over 60 years old. , I looked very fanciful, "I was rubbing the stick with Chang Shan's family last night. The tone of the daughter-in-law talking to her mother-in-law is really hard to listen to. It feels like talking to our country folks, it seems to be so much face. Yes, it sounds like a gun and a stick, and her grandson is not a good one either."
It’s really been a long time since Xu Ning listened to gossip and heard so heartily. Every household in the village knows everyone and doesn’t want the high-rise buildings in the city. Perhaps as a neighbor for many years, I don’t know whether the next door is a man or a woman. Even a little bit of things can be passed on in the village. Everyone knows that, so life actually has a lot of fun.
She doesn't like to talk about gossip, but she likes to listen very much. The parents' short story has its unique charm.
Naturally, they would not take care of other people’s affairs, but the second aunt, the old village chief’s wife, and another aunt, the three of them, and Qin Xuejuan all talked about some gossip that happened in the village over the years, which is naturally good. There are also those in his arms, but they don't make a lot of trouble.
As for the son and daughter-in-law of Uncle Changshan's son and daughter-in-law who had been talked about for a long time last night, Xu Ning saw the real person the next morning.
Early in the morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Xie Zheng and his wife opened their eyes. His spirits are naturally very good. Xu Ning's is also not bad. Yesterday afternoon, I slept a lot and almost didn't fall asleep at night. I originally wanted to help my husband. The physical strength between them sleeps, but they live here, and this bed looks like it can still lie on people. If it is so noisy, it may collapse, and they can’t afford to lose that face. Xu Ning went to the end in the end. After a tossing in the space, he came out and fell asleep with her husband's sturdy and attractive body.
"You want to get up too?" Xie Zheng raised his eyebrows when he saw Xu Ning's behavior.
"Well, let's go to the market to have a look and buy something to eat back." There was not much left of the meal last night. After all, it was at noon yesterday. They didn't plan to eat until the next morning, and go for breakfast. I bought some fried dough sticks and soy milk. I don’t know how to make the fried dough sticks. They are especially delicious. The fried dough sticks that I ate in Imperial Capital are crispy on the surface and soft on the inside. The fried dough sticks here are soft and soft. But the taste is not worse than the breakfast fritters in the Imperial Hotel, perhaps because the memory filter is heavier, but the taste is not exaggerated.
"No need for this!" Xie Zheng stepped forward and pinched his wife's chin, covered her thin lips, and kissed deeply for a while, and a slightly rough palm rushed into her white silk nightdress to steal the fragrance and jade, and finally did not bear it. Live, "Lie on the windowsill." Brother Zheng lifted his wife down, and from behind, he hugged her slender waist which was not full, and clasped her hands slightly hard.
Xu Ning's agitated hands propped on the window sill, the curtains were still there, but the color had faded badly, and luckily they were still usable.
Naturally, there is no way to do bad things in bed, and I am afraid that I will not get acquainted, but now this posture is very exciting and true.
Brother Zheng hugged his wife's waist, after a fierce exercise, the two were heartily. Occasionally, the slender neck of the daughter-in-law leaned back because of trembling. Brother Zheng can also be tempted to not want it, and the palm of the hand lovingly brushed every woman in her arms. An inch of skin, the impulse cannot be suppressed at all.
After the end, Xie Zheng went out to fetch water and came back to wash her body, and then changed clothes and went out. At this time, almost everyone in the family got up. Only Xiao Lemon poked her **** on the kang too lazy to get up, and Qin Xuejuan was lying on her side. Beside her, talking to her granddaughter in a soft voice, hearing the little girl's occasional delicate voice can also make her happy for a long time.
"Sister, brother-in-law, have breakfast." Xu Rui greeted them both in the yard, "Brother Jiabao brought it here."
Xu Ning went to wash his face. It is autumn now. The skin care products in the morning must be wiped off, otherwise the skin on the face will feel wrinkled together. It is particularly uncomfortable. Autumn moisturizing is essential.
Then I drew a little makeup, and put a long hair neatly into a braid at the back of my head. Then I went to the room and prepared to call my daughter to get up.
"Mom, look at it, it's breakfast, leave it to me here." Xu Ning said.
Qin Xuejuan glanced at her daughter, continued to stare at her little granddaughter, and said with a smile: "You go eat first, Mom will change her clothes."
"Don't get used to her."
"go Go."
Qin Xuejuan then coaxed the little girl out of the bed, and then told her to get up early and go to the market after breakfast. Little Lemon milkyly asked her grandma what the market was, and she was energetic when she heard the market. stand up.
After breakfast, Xu Jianjun and Xu Rui went to the ancestral grave. There was a light rain last night, but it stopped as soon as the ground got wet. There is no delay in starting work today. It will be completed today and tomorrow. It's not a big project. Although the Xu family is rich now, Xu Jianjun has no plans to repair the grandeur of his ancestral tomb, but it is not too bad.
He is still a national cadre now, and doing this kind of thing too much is of no benefit.
In this position over the years, it’s not that no one gave him gifts at the back door, but the gifts were cleverly sent back by Xu Jianjun. Everyone in the unit knew that Xu Jianjun, Minister Xu Jianjun, does not smoke or drink. He usually likes to drink. Tea, but the tea people drink their own special grade Yugong Longjing tea, even if others want to send it through the back door, many of them are not necessarily affordable, and the affordable ones are also difficult to buy. The grade is lower than this tea. , Are you embarrassed to send it?
This also saves Xu Jianjun a lot of trouble. No matter how high-end gifts are, you don’t have Mrs. Xu rich, aren’t you? Mrs. Xu is also a business person. She didn't even ask her husband for help when she was near the water. Are you embarrassed as an outsider?
Therefore, Xu Jianjun’s political achievements over the years cannot be described as beautiful. In addition, the Ministry of Finance and the Taxation Bureau have a relatively close relationship. Every year after Xu Jianjun’s family pays taxes, the tax bureau chief always calls Xu Jianjun to talk about your wife and daughter. How much taxes have been paid this year, etc., really speaking, the relationship between these two senior officials is the best. They can also get together in private for tea and chess, and have a good relationship with other colleagues of the same level, except unless It is a meeting or work contact, but there is not much contact in private.
After changing the clothes for the three children, the family locked the door and went to the market. When they walked out of the alley, many people saw this family and greeted them one after another.
Among them were the two elders from last night. They were also preparing to go to the market with their family members. Many people in the village went to the village across the road in a mighty manner.
The twins were taught to be very sensible, and chatting with the children in the village would not have any arrogance, but quickly played with the children and grandchildren of the second uncle's family.
"Mengmeng, this dress of yours is so beautiful." The second uncle's granddaughter is named Xu Cuicui, this year is one year older than Xiaomengmen, and there are two older brothers on it. In junior high school, Cui Cui just entered the first grade this year, just like Xiao Lemon.
Children here are usually late to school.
However, Little Lemon has been able to keep up with nutrition since she was a child. Perhaps it is also a genetic problem. She is very beautiful and slender. Even if she has a small face with baby fat, she is a slim girl.
"My mother bought this for me." She tugged at the corners of her skirt, her legs were knee-length black college socks, and her feet were a pair of small white leather shoes, very delicate and beautiful.
Seeing Xu Cuicui's envious eyes, Xiao Lemon shook her hand and said, "I have brought several skirts. You will come with me when I come back to the fair. I will give you one."
"Really?" Xu Cuicui looked at Little Lemon happily, and when she saw her nodding, she said embarrassedly: "Then I can trade the delicious girl fruit from the mountain for you, OK?"
Little girls love to be beautiful. Of course, their parents are working outside, and the money they make each year is enough for the three children in the family. Just to go to school, life is naturally a little nervous, and clothes can’t be bought often.
And even if you have money, Little Lemon’s skirt is not cheap, one piece costs hundreds of dollars, so the little girl can buy five or six skirts every year, otherwise, why more and more couples want a daughter in the future. I just saw those beautiful little girls' clothes in the store and wanted to have a daughter to dress her up beautifully.
"Okay!" Little Lemon had no objection.
Regardless of how young children are, the world of children is also very complicated. Since Little Lemon is willing to give up her skirt, it means that this little girl has caught Little Lemon’s eyes, or she has been held in the palm of the hand by the whole family since she was a child. , But not so friendly.
Not far behind them, there was a family of three walking slowly. Men and women wore more fashionable clothes, but compared with Xie Zheng's family, it was naturally shabby.
Perhaps the price of the clothes is not very different, but the aura is clear at a glance.
This family of three is Xu Changshan's son Xu Tianming's family. His wife is naturally a college student, and he is in the same company. The local graduates, in fact, really want to elaborate, Xu Tianming almost entered the wife's home.
In the city where they work, their husband and wife will take their son to visit the woman’s parents every week, but for the Xu Changshan couple who gave birth to Xu Tianming, perhaps they can only see their son once a year. This time they will return to the Mid-Autumn Festival In my hometown, it is obvious that I do not plan to come back for the New Year. If I come back for the New Year, I will definitely not go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Who is the previous family member?" Xu Tianming's wife asked.
Xu Tianming briefly talked to his wife. The woman's eyes almost didn't come out. I didn't expect that there was such an arrogant family in this shabby village. Why didn't you know before?
Occasionally I saw Xie Zheng talking to the half-aged teenager next to him with his head sideways. The squad leader’s Junxiu face made the woman trembling with her heart. Thinking about other men’s men, and then looking at her husband, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable in my heart. .
Of course, she was sour in her heart. As for putting it into action, her mind has not been flooded.
I looked down on the people in this village, but I didn’t expect Golden Phoenix to fly out here. Now she also uses Sumei products, but it took her several months of salary to buy this set. The woman in front is actually the owner of this cosmetics company. How can this be done without a set of cosmetics? Maybe she can get a set of cosmetics for nothing. That is super expensive. The whole set costs tens of thousands. She only uses simple ones. A six-piece set of skin care products also cost a small three thousand yuan.
Xu Tianming’s wife is a typist in the office, and her education is not as high as Xu Tianming. To marry him is just because she is a local, and her monthly salary is only 700 or 800 yuan, but Xu Tianming’s salary is hers. More than twice as much, otherwise she would definitely not marry Xu Tianming, who has a rural household registration.
And the second aunt and the others who were walking with Qin Xuejuan saw Xu Tianming's family behind and rustledly talked to Qin Xuejuan. Qin Xuejuan turned to look at the family of three, and then looked back nonchalantly.
Being born from the heart is not absolute, but Xu Tianming's wife looks terrific on the face, but it is such a result that the college students who pity Xu Changshan and his wife, who have worked so hard to support, are such a result.
Going up the stairs to the main road, I saw a family of seven or eight people standing on the side of the road. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zhang Meng's family.
"I have been waiting for you for almost 20 minutes." Zhang Meng said with a serious expression on his hips when he saw Xu Ning.
Xu Ning chuckled, "Don't you know where my hometown is? You don't know how to find it?"
"Actually, it is very comfortable to blow the morning breeze here. I slept well in my hometown last night?" Zhang Meng stuffed his son into her husband's hands and walked side by side with Xu Ning to the opposite village, standing in this position. You can already see the bazaar over there.
Xu Ning and Zhang Meng's parents greeted them before they chatted with Zhang Meng, who was walking slowly behind the crowd.
"It's not bad. The bedding is prepared by the villagers. I brought a four-piece suit from home. The air here is fresh and the breathing is much easier."
"At noon and Xie Zheng, take the kids to my house for dinner. No one is in the house. Relatives will come to my house tomorrow." It must be the best, and there are two small buildings in the house, so every year relatives still gather at Zhang Meng's home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
"Okay, if you invite me, I will definitely go."
"Both Yang Bo and Lu Kang are back. Lu Kang is doing very well in your company now. He is considered a successful person. Yang Bo is in Haicheng and his development is not bad. Many of his classmates rushed back this time. Can host a reunion of junior high school classmates!" At this point, Zhang Meng chuckled, "I have attended college reunions almost every year in the past few years, but the reunion of junior high school should be the first time in my life."
But this is not to look down upon. After all, they were all born in this land. Naturally, there are some topics when talking. It’s just junior high school. It’s been more than 20 years. The people who gather together to talk about are nothing more than husbands and children. Compare.
The university can handle it, but most of the children of their generation dropped out after graduating from junior high school, and the common topic is only these extraneous things. It's not like a college party that can talk about society, people's livelihood, and economic development. and many more.
Talking with these junior high school classmates who have dropped out a long time seems to be limited. Husband and children or the outside world?
"Furthermore, we will go back here after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the children will start school soon, and the company will also go to work." There is probably only one person who is the most leisurely left.
As he said, a man in front came to face him, and then a few steps away, he stretched out his fists at Xie Zheng, and the two smiled and fisted.
When Xu Ning saw this, the corners of her lips also smiled. Isn't this man just Zhou Tao, a friend and classmate of Brother Zheng for many years.
"Hey, Xu Ning, long time no see!" Zhou Tao waved to Xu Ning to say hello, "It's still so beautiful."
"You have seen a lot of vicissitudes. I haven't congratulated you on your promotion." Now Zhou Tao is the director of the Jiangcheng Cultural Relics Administration and the curator of the Jiangcheng Museum. He is also a visiting professor of the Department of Archaeology of Jiangcheng University. Rich and rich, but also a very fulfilling life.
Zhou Tao's wife is an associate professor in the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities at Jiangcheng University. The two had one son and one daughter. His daughter is now in junior high school, and his son is less than three years old.
"Thank you." Zhou Tao turned to Xie Zheng and said, "When will we leave? Let's go to Jiangcheng to have a meal at my house."
"The day after tomorrow, leave on Friday, and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Zhou Tao nodded, "Zhang Meng, you two will go together."
"No problem, is the place in Brother Zhou's house big enough?"
"Enough, do you think the house price in Jiangcheng is as high as that of the Imperial Capital? And I bought it early. The house price was only more than two hundred per square meter that year, and the house is big." Zhou Tao's temper is still so outrageous.
Xu Ning was originally a two-person line and has become a three-person line.
Mrs. Zhou learned that Xu Ning and Zhang Meng were from the Imperial University and Ming University respectively, and she admired them. They graduated from the top universities in China and they are really amazing.
When we came to the market, people wandered around. It was around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people who had left their homes or settled outside came back. We can often see some familiar but unnamed faces in the crowd.
I also ran into Lu Kang and Yang Bo here, and they came out to go shopping together.
Lu Kang has been working in Diyi these years, and his mental outlook is very good, but Yang Bo, who was popular with many young girls in school, seems to have a successful career. Of course, his beer belly has also come out. Fortunately, people did not give up, otherwise it is true. Let Xu Ning have a good meal.
"Are you getting a lot fatter?" Xu Ning said to Yang Bo with a smile.
Yang Bo laughed loudly, "There is no way, three days of entertainment, but you can't do without wine."
"I also often attend the wine bureau, but you don't have a big beer belly like you." Lu Kang raised his hand and patted the other party's stomach teasingly.
"Different physique."
Everyone wandered casually along the flow of people together, and then talked about the school reunion.
"Would you like to participate?" Lu Kang asked, "It's rare to come back. It happened that Yang Bo's house also built a new house. Let's gather at his house for a meal. Don't worry, his house is very large, with six rooms on two floors. The living room is the most spacious."
"when?"
"Tomorrow at noon, there is no time for the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow, and there is no time to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Besides, Mr. Xu almost never returned to his hometown in the past."
"My grandparents are in the imperial capital, and there are no relatives in my hometown. What do you do when you come back?" Xu Ning smiled.
"So..." Yang Bo took out a cigarette and lit it. "Some classmates are almost back this time. Let's go to my house to gather at noon tomorrow. We will invite a lot of people. Let's go on the 40th or 50th."
"No problem." Xu Ning nodded. Anyway, it will be fine tomorrow, and the distance is not far. People have said it, Xu Ning will not refuse.
Yang Bo lives in Yangzhuang, not far from Xiangshan Village. It is only seven or eight minutes by car. When you go to the village, you can find it. Of course, you can find it without asking. Yangzhuang has only a two-story building like Yang Bo’s house. The building can be seen clearly at the entrance of the village.
Xie Yang led his younger siblings and some younger siblings from individual families, followed by his grandmother and father. He was very curious about every stall in the market, especially when he saw a place selling kittens and puppies or chickens and ducks. Even more stopped.
The chickens and ducks here are all hatched by themselves, not old hens, but artificially hatched, which is also for the family's multiple income.
The chicks and ducks are all goose-yellow. The chirping sounds are very nice. Children like it when they look at it, but they can't buy it.
Xie Zheng was here waiting for his mother-in-law to buy the food. He was helping to carry it. The few children were eating a candy or candied haws and marshmallows.
Bantang is crispy and sprinkled with sesame seeds. It is sweet and original, but it is very sticky, but even so children love it, fresh and edible.
Qin Xuejuan didn't buy a lot. After all, she had all kinds of dishes in her daughter's space, but if she didn't buy anything, there were several villagers around her, and it couldn't be justified.
Simply buy something to deal with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and their family will return to the imperial capital, and they will not come back for many years. As for the matter a hundred years later, the old lady and old medicine uncle are going to be buried in the imperial capital, and they are not required to be buried together, as long as they are buried in Two adjacent positions will do.
This is probably what the old medicine uncle meant. After all, Xu Jianjun is not the old medicine uncle’s own son. If he and the old lady are buried together after death, I am afraid Xu Jianjun has any opinions in his heart, but now it is a new society, so it doesn’t matter whether they are buried together or not. NS.
After death, you don’t know what happened in your life. Where there is the so-called reincarnation, there is nothing when you die. Who cares after death, living with your heart when you are alive is more important than anything else.
After shopping, Zhang Meng and Xue Jialun went back first, greeted Xu Ning to clean up and go to their house for dinner.
To help her mother take the things she bought home, Xu Ning tidied up and left with Xie Zheng with the three children.
Zhang family, Zhang's mother and daughter worked in the kitchen after returning home.
"Ningning is as old as you? This is almost forty, and I don't see any age at all." Mama Zhang is now in her early sixties, but she has a very good body. She was packing up the carp that had just been bought at noon.
Zhang Meng nodded, "What her own company does is cosmetics, but it is still the world's number one brand. I use nature all the year round to show my youth. Am I old?"
Zhang Meng thinks it’s impossible. She has been using sober skin care products. Although she is almost forty now, her skin is still so white, tender and smooth. Otherwise, how could her dear husband ask for it twice in three days. pet.
Mother Zhang chuckled and said, "Yes, you are the youngest."
Xue Jialun is also holding her lips and holding back a smile. His wife is naturally very young. If she is more than 30 years old, if she wears a simpler dress, she still looks like a college student. Xue Jialun is willing to spend money on his wife. After all, his wife’s young and beautiful is also a man’s achievement. Every time he took his wife to attend various business meetings, he looked at other wives and his young, beautiful and well-built wife. That made him feel proud.
Although it is implicit in his bones, he is still used to competing with his son in private, so the relationship between husband and wife has been exceptionally harmonious these years.
And even though his father-in-law and mother-in-law are from the countryside, Xue Jialun likes this honest old couple very much. There are not so many twists and turns in their hearts. They have been married to his wife for many years, and their father-in-law has never done anything indecent secretly. Things will not bother them. As for consumption, they will give them a sum of money every month. The two elderly people will not spend enough money, and they will give their sons red envelopes during the New Year. It will not be delayed or because of money. Make any unpleasantness, so Xue Jialun also respects these two very much.
This two-story building was designed by Zhang Meng himself. Compared with the two-story buildings built by other houses in the village, the small building of Zhang's family looks very elegant and fashionable.
Outside is a one-meter-high wall and a two-meter-high iron fence. Parthenocissus and some flowers and plants are planted beside the fence. Now this season, the three walls are still full of greenery, which is very eye-catching.
The living room also has a strong sense of fashion, and the layout and decoration are very soft, which does not give people a strong sense of corners and corners.
The small buildings in other houses are said to be two floors, but in fact, it feels like a bungalow. The decoration inside is still so old-fashioned, and young people with a little fashion sense can't look down upon it.
Because of this, the old couple of Zhang's family are unwilling to move to Demon City to live with their children. They are not old and immobile. They should go underground without any delay. Although they can't see their children often, the children have grown up. , I wanted to live independently, and I came back to see them every year to save energy, and the old couple were also happy.
Besides, I’ve been busy with my children for most of my life. Now that I’m old, I naturally want to take a break. After my son gets married, if he has a grandson, they can go and take care of it. Of course, taking care of the grandson is willing, but I don’t plan to live in the magic city all the time. , Where did the comfortable habit of living in the village come from?
Of course, if they go to the magic city in the future, they are not afraid that their daughter-in-law will not wait to see them. After all, their daughter still has a suite for them in the magic city.
When Xie Zheng's family came over, standing in the small courtyard could already smell the tangy scent of the food.
As soon as he walked in, Zhang Meng greeted him warmly.
"Your house has been cleaned up very well." Xu Ning praised the living room, looking at it.
"I am also an interior designer, which also means that my face is not. Don't underestimate me." Zhang Meng brought out fresh fruits from the kitchen and asked Xue Jialun to receive them from the family, while he ran to the kitchen. Help Mama Zhang continue to cook lunch.
Xu Ning didn't look here either, and got up and went to the kitchen to help.
She has such a good relationship with Zhang Meng, even though she is a guest, she doesn't have to stick to this point.
Although Xue Jialun and Xie Zheng are not in the same field, the chat is still very topical, don't worry about being cold.
"Do you come back every Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"I come back every other year, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I won't go back during the Chinese New Year, and I will come here again next year." The two elders of the Xue family are also reasonable. The daughter-in-law is not a housewife, and she also has a prosperous career. Take a high look, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also very good, so even if the couple took their children to their natal family for the New Year in the next year, the two elders of Xue’s family have no objection. The left is just one week, and they can relax at home during the New Year. .
Therefore, only when a woman is independent can she have the right to speak and make decisions at home.
"I saw Lu Kang's wife before. They come back every year, but the relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not very good. The old people in the countryside may have some habits that are unacceptable to the urban people. One year, the couple returned with their children, Lu Kang The daughter-in-law almost didn't quarrel with her mother-in-law."
"Because of what?" Xu Ning asked.
"It's not the child's problem. Old people like to chew up the food and taste it in the children's mouth. Lu Kang's wife can't accept this. She thinks it's dirty, so she said something to her mother-in-law. After a few words, it was quite violent." Zhang Meng sighed, "But I think Lu Kang's wife is right on this point. I don't agree that my mother chewed the food by herself and stuffed it into my son's mouth."
After hearing this, Zhang's mother glared angrily at the girl, "I'm not happy yet."
Regarding this point, Xu Ning also agrees with Lu Kang’s wife’s approach. The elderly have many bad habits. Since they have seen it, she will bring them up. She has met Lu Kang’s wife many times, and her personality in private may be a bit squeamish. However, on the face of it, she knew very well the rules and also knew how to look at the situation. Therefore, no matter how unhappy she was about feeding by mouth, she also had to look at Lu Kang's face, so she would not speak too aggressively.
But this kind of thing is too common in the countryside here. The old people think that this is not a big deal at all. Being so unwelcome by the daughter-in-law makes her heart unhappy. Just telling the son that the daughter-in-law is not the one is not good.
Xu Ning had never been fed by mouth when she was a child. When she was a child, her grandmother had an arrogant temper and would not do anything like this to Xu Ning. Her mother was also from an excellent background, let alone doing it. Is this a fluke?
At that time, the children rarely drank milk powder, they were all breast-feeding, and they drank mash without breast-milk.
As for the elderly like to chew up the food by themselves and feed it to their grandchildren, this practice is really very unhygienic, and Lu Kang's wife's practice is not wrong.

Xu Rui sighed when he heard the words, "It didn't comfort me at all, and I should go back early after I have cleaned up, otherwise it may be more noisy."
After Xu Jianjun and his wife came back, they packed up some things for worship. The three of them left, but after that, only Xu Jianjun will be left there. Qin Xuejuan and Xu Rui will return after the worship. Today this is the starting meal, and it is considered as a starting meal. It’s been a long time since I returned to my hometown, I specially invited people of the same ethnic group to gather together, and then I have to wait for a meal before I leave. They are going to live in the village these days. As for the purchase of firewood, rice, oil and salt, it is convenient. What is not used up can be given to the villagers and cannot be wasted.
Xie Zheng went to take a look at his wife, and saw that she was still sleeping peacefully in the bed, so he came to the master bedroom. The three children were already asleep next to each other.
It was inevitable that the child could not find an adult when he got up, and Xie Zheng was about to take a nap against the quilt on the kang head.
Behind the house, one or two words and the sound of people walking around in the village can be heard occasionally, and then the chirping of chickens or the chirping of birds, the whole ear actually makes people feel that it is not noisy, and here is his childhood The place where I have lived is not unfamiliar even if the house looks very mottled and old now.
When I opened my eyes again, the children were no longer on the kang.
He got up and lifted the thin quilt on his body. When he opened the door, he saw three children sitting at the door of the kitchen. Xie Yang was telling a story to his younger siblings with a book at this time.
"Dad is awake."
Xie Zheng nodded, "Have grandma and uncle come back yet?"
"Grandma is back, uncle did not." Xie Yang pointed to another room, "Grandma is resting in that room."
"Well, keep your voice down. Don't disturb your grandma and mother." Xie Zheng didn't continue to sleep either. He moved a chair and sat down in the yard. It was almost half past four at this time. It seemed that the weather could end in light rain at night. , The weather looked a little gloomy.
At this time, the old village chief outside brought his son over with a small cart with a gas tank on it.
"Uncle Baoshuan!" Xie Zheng got up and greeted him.
The old village chief patted the body of the gas tank, "Aren't you going to live here for a few days? There are two gas tanks in the house. You use this first. The gas inside is full, enough for you to use."
Xie Zheng did not refuse, and helped Jiabao carry the media in, "Thank you, Uncle Baoshuan."
"What are the thanks from the folks in the village?" The old village head didn't care, looked at the three children, and smiled at Xie Zheng: "You Xie family can be considered as having a future."
"...Hmm!" Xie Zheng nodded with a smile.
Thank you for being born again, so as not to let him Xie's family break.
The father and son did not stay here long, but when they were leaving, Xie Zheng sent them to the door, "Uncle Baoshuan, bring Jiabao over for dinner tonight, Ningning reserved a table of food for noon."
The old village chief did not refuse, and simply nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll come over at dinner in the evening."
Xu Ning opened his eyes in a daze. It was already dusk outside the window, and the golden sunset was shining brightly in the distance.
Going out of the room with a yawn, the twins entangled for a while.
"Mom, you finally got up."
"Mom is a big slacker."
"Mengmeng is more industrious than her mother."
Xu Ning raised his hand and grunted baldly on their heads twice, "Yes, yes, you are both hardworking bees, don't make trouble, mom go and wash your face."
Flicking a little bit of water in the basin, she washed her face with water, and the sleepy bugs dissipated instantly under the cooling effect, but the whole body was still a little tired, and the body was naturally uncomfortable after sleeping for a long time.
"Parents are not at home?" Xu Ning returned to the house and fetched a bottle of water and milk essence and gently wiped it on his face.
"Mom went to visit another house. Dad and Xu Rui were still busy outside. They were worried that it might rain at night. All those things have to be cleaned up and they should be back soon." Xie Zheng saw that his wife's face was pretty good, and he was relieved. NS.
Xu Ning looked up at the setting sun in the distance. It didn't look like it could rain.
About seven o’clock, Xu Jianjun and his wife, Xu Rui and the old village chief, and two other couples in the village came back together. At noon, Xu Ning asked the mobile chef to cook an extra table, just for the evening meal, as for tomorrow. In the morning, you can go to the market to eat some fried dough porridge or something. You can also make it by yourself at noon, and you don’t need to buy too much, just enough for them to eat in the past few days.
Xu Ning got up and went to prepare the food. It was actually not troublesome. Some dishes needed to be re-fried in the pot. It was very easy. Can.
The sisters and brothers of Xu Ning are busy working below, and the old village chief’s wife is coming to help. Qin Xuejuan is dragged onto the kang. Today there is no rule for men and women to sit separately. There is just one table of dishes, and the kang is not small. It’s just a meal, not so particular.
The old village chief also brought a handful of beer and two bottles of liquor from the supply and marketing agency. Can you drink such a large table of dishes at night anyway, not just two sips of wine?
A plate of dishes was brought up out of the pot, and soon everyone sat around the big kang and moved their chopsticks.
The three children didn't eat too much at night, so Xu Ning specially used a small bowl to serve them, so as not to see all the chopsticks mixed on the plate.
In fact, after lunch, the unfinished meals were packaged by the villagers. If they were before, they would also bring them back. However, they have to entertain guests for dinner at night. Naturally, they can’t be served with leftovers. It is their feelings towards this village that they have not changed, but in the past few years, the situation of the Xu family, returning to the village and eating the leftovers, do not say that Qin Xuejuan and Xu Jianjun do not like them either. These feelings are irrelevant, and they are not showing off money. After all, It’s normal to eat leftovers leftovers. Today’s food is mixed with many chopsticks and can’t be swallowed anymore.
"Jianjun, you are about to retire at your age, right?"
"Yeah, I'm 59 this year, and I will retire in five or six years." At that time, the son will probably be married, and maybe the child will also be there. At that stage, he will be able to spend money at home with grandchildren. beautiful.
Although there are still three grandchildren, the twins will be in their teens in five or six years. I'm afraid I can't play with my grandfather, which is a bit regretful.
"Our village also left you with a promising future." They knew Xu Jianjun's position, a ministerial-level national cadre. Everyone in the village felt proud of him. Although this is a rare opportunity for Xu Jianjun to come back, the other party She is busy with her work, and her old mother is also filial to her. There are no close relatives in the village, so naturally there is no need to come back often.
Of course, the road in the village was repaired by Qin Xuejuan. The villagers are very grateful for this. In the past, when it rained and snowed, no one would want to go out. Going out would inevitably be covered in mud. Now it’s fine. When it rains or snows, there is no problem at all. The cement roads extending in all directions in the village are in their hearts. Usually the roads in the village can be cleaned by the diligent villagers carrying a broom. There is no need to find someone to clean it alone.
It's now after the autumn harvest. Looking at the hutongs and the streets, drying food can become much easier.
Xu Jianjun took a sip of white wine and swallowed it with his teeth.
"Hey, it's hard to say. Since Ningning was admitted to college, fewer than ten children in the village have gone to college in these years, and the school is not good. The best one is Changshan's son, who passed the exam. A two books, the whole family also tightened their belts to live, although the student fund left by Ningning is still there." The old village chief’s drink volume is obviously good, at least he drank white wine, unlike Xu Jianjun. Tangled, "But I stayed outside after graduation. I don’t know how I’m going. People don’t go home, but they can come back during the New Year, but they just stayed for three to five days and left. Hey, it’s not like A filial child."
"No, I've been reading for so many years." This man is Xu Jianjun's next cousin, and Xu Ning called the other's second uncle.
"When I came back last year during the Chinese New Year, I brought a piece of clothes for his parents. I guess they came back to buy the clothes in the county. I didn’t have anything else. They have been working for the New Year. They looked special every year. Shame, he always said that there is a lot of work pressure outside, and his parents raised him so much. Whoever got sick called to ask him to come back and have a look. They also stubbornly said that the unit is too busy to walk away, and the company often takes time off. The company may be unhappy. They would lose their jobs. The more often, Chang Shan and the others would not call their sons. After they married their daughters-in-law, they would be even more powerful. They would return with their children. That attitude... Ay, really ungrateful."
"I think it might have something to do with his wife." The second auntie took a chopstick and stuffed the meat into her mouth. This second aunt is also refreshing. She is very bold when drinking beer. She is over 60 years old. , I looked very fanciful, "I was rubbing the stick with Chang Shan's family last night. The tone of the daughter-in-law talking to her mother-in-law is really hard to listen to. It feels like talking to our country folks, it seems to be so much face. Yes, it sounds like a gun and a stick, and her grandson is not a good one either."
It’s really been a long time since Xu Ning listened to gossip and heard so heartily. Every household in the village knows everyone and doesn’t want the high-rise buildings in the city. Perhaps as a neighbor for many years, I don’t know whether the next door is a man or a woman. Even a little bit of things can be passed on in the village. Everyone knows that, so life actually has a lot of fun.
She doesn't like to talk about gossip, but she likes to listen very much. The parents' short story has its unique charm.
Naturally, they would not take care of other people’s affairs, but the second aunt, the old village chief’s wife, and another aunt, the three of them, and Qin Xuejuan all talked about some gossip that happened in the village over the years, which is naturally good. There are also those in his arms, but they don't make a lot of trouble.
As for the son and daughter-in-law of Uncle Changshan's son and daughter-in-law who had been talked about for a long time last night, Xu Ning saw the real person the next morning.
Early in the morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Xie Zheng and his wife opened their eyes. His spirits are naturally very good. Xu Ning's is also not bad. Yesterday afternoon, I slept a lot and almost didn't fall asleep at night. I originally wanted to help my husband. The physical strength between them sleeps, but they live here, and this bed looks like it can still lie on people. If it is so noisy, it may collapse, and they can’t afford to lose that face. Xu Ning went to the end in the end. After a tossing in the space, he came out and fell asleep with her husband's sturdy and attractive body.
"You want to get up too?" Xie Zheng raised his eyebrows when he saw Xu Ning's behavior.
"Well, let's go to the market to have a look and buy something to eat back." There was not much left of the meal last night. After all, it was at noon yesterday. They didn't plan to eat until the next morning, and go for breakfast. I bought some fried dough sticks and soy milk. I don’t know how to make the fried dough sticks. They are especially delicious. The fried dough sticks that I ate in Imperial Capital are crispy on the surface and soft on the inside. The fried dough sticks here are soft and soft. But the taste is not worse than the breakfast fritters in the Imperial Hotel, perhaps because the memory filter is heavier, but the taste is not exaggerated.
"No need for this!" Xie Zheng stepped forward and pinched his wife's chin, covered her thin lips, and kissed deeply for a while, and a slightly rough palm rushed into her white silk nightdress to steal the fragrance and jade, and finally did not bear it. Live, "Lie on the windowsill." Brother Zheng lifted his wife down, and from behind, he hugged her slender waist which was not full, and clasped her hands slightly hard.
Xu Ning's agitated hands propped on the window sill, the curtains were still there, but the color had faded badly, and luckily they were still usable.
Naturally, there is no way to do bad things in bed, and I am afraid that I will not get acquainted, but now this posture is very exciting and true.
Brother Zheng hugged his wife's waist, after a fierce exercise, the two were heartily. Occasionally, the slender neck of the daughter-in-law leaned back because of trembling. Brother Zheng can also be tempted to not want it, and the palm of the hand lovingly brushed every woman in her arms. An inch of skin, the impulse cannot be suppressed at all.
After the end, Xie Zheng went out to fetch water and came back to wash her body, and then changed clothes and went out. At this time, almost everyone in the family got up. Only Xiao Lemon poked her **** on the kang too lazy to get up, and Qin Xuejuan was lying on her side. Beside her, talking to her granddaughter in a soft voice, hearing the little girl's occasional delicate voice can also make her happy for a long time.
"Sister, brother-in-law, have breakfast." Xu Rui greeted them both in the yard, "Brother Jiabao brought it here."
Xu Ning went to wash his face. It is autumn now. The skin care products in the morning must be wiped off, otherwise the skin on the face will feel wrinkled together. It is particularly uncomfortable. Autumn moisturizing is essential.
Then I drew a little makeup, and put a long hair neatly into a braid at the back of my head. Then I went to the room and prepared to call my daughter to get up.
"Mom, look at it, it's breakfast, leave it to me here." Xu Ning said.
Qin Xuejuan glanced at her daughter, continued to stare at her little granddaughter, and said with a smile: "You go eat first, Mom will change her clothes."
"Don't get used to her."
"go Go."
Qin Xuejuan then coaxed the little girl out of the bed, and then told her to get up early and go to the market after breakfast. Little Lemon milkyly asked her grandma what the market was, and she was energetic when she heard the market. stand up.
After breakfast, Xu Jianjun and Xu Rui went to the ancestral grave. There was a light rain last night, but it stopped as soon as the ground got wet. There is no delay in starting work today. It will be completed today and tomorrow. It's not a big project. Although the Xu family is rich now, Xu Jianjun has no plans to repair the grandeur of his ancestral tomb, but it is not too bad.
He is still a national cadre now, and doing this kind of thing too much is of no benefit.
In this position over the years, it’s not that no one gave him gifts at the back door, but the gifts were cleverly sent back by Xu Jianjun. Everyone in the unit knew that Xu Jianjun, Minister Xu Jianjun, does not smoke or drink. He usually likes to drink. Tea, but the tea people drink their own special grade Yugong Longjing tea, even if others want to send it through the back door, many of them are not necessarily affordable, and the affordable ones are also difficult to buy. The grade is lower than this tea. , Are you embarrassed to send it?
This also saves Xu Jianjun a lot of trouble. No matter how high-end gifts are, you don’t have Mrs. Xu rich, aren’t you? Mrs. Xu is also a business person. She didn't even ask her husband for help when she was near the water. Are you embarrassed as an outsider?
Therefore, Xu Jianjun’s political achievements over the years cannot be described as beautiful. In addition, the Ministry of Finance and the Taxation Bureau have a relatively close relationship. Every year after Xu Jianjun’s family pays taxes, the tax bureau chief always calls Xu Jianjun to talk about your wife and daughter. How much taxes have been paid this year, etc., really speaking, the relationship between these two senior officials is the best. They can also get together in private for tea and chess, and have a good relationship with other colleagues of the same level, except unless It is a meeting or work contact, but there is not much contact in private.
After changing the clothes for the three children, the family locked the door and went to the market. When they walked out of the alley, many people saw this family and greeted them one after another.
Among them were the two elders from last night. They were also preparing to go to the market with their family members. Many people in the village went to the village across the road in a mighty manner.
The twins were taught to be very sensible, and chatting with the children in the village would not have any arrogance, but quickly played with the children and grandchildren of the second uncle's family.
"Mengmeng, this dress of yours is so beautiful." The second uncle's granddaughter is named Xu Cuicui, this year is one year older than Xiaomengmen, and there are two older brothers on it. In junior high school, Cui Cui just entered the first grade this year, just like Xiao Lemon.
Children here are usually late to school.
However, Little Lemon has been able to keep up with nutrition since she was a child. Perhaps it is also a genetic problem. She is very beautiful and slender. Even if she has a small face with baby fat, she is a slim girl.
"My mother bought this for me." She tugged at the corners of her skirt, her legs were knee-length black college socks, and her feet were a pair of small white leather shoes, very delicate and beautiful.
Seeing Xu Cuicui's envious eyes, Xiao Lemon shook her hand and said, "I have brought several skirts. You will come with me when I come back to the fair. I will give you one."
"Really?" Xu Cuicui looked at Little Lemon happily, and when she saw her nodding, she said embarrassedly: "Then I can trade the delicious girl fruit from the mountain for you, OK?"
Little girls love to be beautiful. Of course, their parents are working outside, and the money they make each year is enough for the three children in the family. Just to go to school, life is naturally a little nervous, and clothes can’t be bought often.
And even if you have money, Little Lemon’s skirt is not cheap, one piece costs hundreds of dollars, so the little girl can buy five or six skirts every year, otherwise, why more and more couples want a daughter in the future. I just saw those beautiful little girls' clothes in the store and wanted to have a daughter to dress her up beautifully.
"Okay!" Little Lemon had no objection.
Regardless of how young children are, the world of children is also very complicated. Since Little Lemon is willing to give up her skirt, it means that this little girl has caught Little Lemon’s eyes, or she has been held in the palm of the hand by the whole family since she was a child. , But not so friendly.
Not far behind them, there was a family of three walking slowly. Men and women wore more fashionable clothes, but compared with Xie Zheng's family, it was naturally shabby.
Perhaps the price of the clothes is not very different, but the aura is clear at a glance.
This family of three is Xu Changshan's son Xu Tianming's family. His wife is naturally a college student, and he is in the same company. The local graduates, in fact, really want to elaborate, Xu Tianming almost entered the wife's home.
In the city where they work, their husband and wife will take their son to visit the woman’s parents every week, but for the Xu Changshan couple who gave birth to Xu Tianming, perhaps they can only see their son once a year. This time they will return to the Mid-Autumn Festival In my hometown, it is obvious that I do not plan to come back for the New Year. If I come back for the New Year, I will definitely not go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Who is the previous family member?" Xu Tianming's wife asked.
Xu Tianming briefly talked to his wife. The woman's eyes almost didn't come out. I didn't expect that there was such an arrogant family in this shabby village. Why didn't you know before?
Occasionally I saw Xie Zheng talking to the half-aged teenager next to him with his head sideways. The squad leader’s Junxiu face made the woman trembling with her heart. Thinking about other men’s men, and then looking at her husband, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable in my heart. .
Of course, she was sour in her heart. As for putting it into action, her mind has not been flooded.
I looked down on the people in this village, but I didn’t expect Golden Phoenix to fly out here. Now she also uses Sumei products, but it took her several months of salary to buy this set. The woman in front is actually the owner of this cosmetics company. How can this be done without a set of cosmetics? Maybe she can get a set of cosmetics for nothing. That is super expensive. The whole set costs tens of thousands. She only uses simple ones. A six-piece set of skin care products also cost a small three thousand yuan.
Xu Tianming’s wife is a typist in the office, and her education is not as high as Xu Tianming. To marry him is just because she is a local, and her monthly salary is only 700 or 800 yuan, but Xu Tianming’s salary is hers. More than twice as much, otherwise she would definitely not marry Xu Tianming, who has a rural household registration.
And the second aunt and the others who were walking with Qin Xuejuan saw Xu Tianming's family behind and rustledly talked to Qin Xuejuan. Qin Xuejuan turned to look at the family of three, and then looked back nonchalantly.
Being born from the heart is not absolute, but Xu Tianming's wife looks terrific on the face, but it is such a result that the college students who pity Xu Changshan and his wife, who have worked so hard to support, are such a result.
Going up the stairs to the main road, I saw a family of seven or eight people standing on the side of the road. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zhang Meng's family.
"I have been waiting for you for almost 20 minutes." Zhang Meng said with a serious expression on his hips when he saw Xu Ning.
Xu Ning chuckled, "Don't you know where my hometown is? You don't know how to find it?"
"Actually, it is very comfortable to blow the morning breeze here. I slept well in my hometown last night?" Zhang Meng stuffed his son into her husband's hands and walked side by side with Xu Ning to the opposite village, standing in this position. You can already see the bazaar over there.
Xu Ning and Zhang Meng's parents greeted them before they chatted with Zhang Meng, who was walking slowly behind the crowd.
"It's not bad. The bedding is prepared by the villagers. I brought a four-piece suit from home. The air here is fresh and the breathing is much easier."
"At noon and Xie Zheng, take the kids to my house for dinner. No one is in the house. Relatives will come to my house tomorrow." It must be the best, and there are two small buildings in the house, so every year relatives still gather at Zhang Meng's home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.
"Okay, if you invite me, I will definitely go."
"Both Yang Bo and Lu Kang are back. Lu Kang is doing very well in your company now. He is considered a successful person. Yang Bo is in Haicheng and his development is not bad. Many of his classmates rushed back this time. Can host a reunion of junior high school classmates!" At this point, Zhang Meng chuckled, "I have attended college reunions almost every year in the past few years, but the reunion of junior high school should be the first time in my life."
But this is not to look down upon. After all, they were all born in this land. Naturally, there are some topics when talking. It’s just junior high school. It’s been more than 20 years. The people who gather together to talk about are nothing more than husbands and children. Compare.
The university can handle it, but most of the children of their generation dropped out after graduating from junior high school, and the common topic is only these extraneous things. It's not like a college party that can talk about society, people's livelihood, and economic development. and many more.
Talking with these junior high school classmates who have dropped out a long time seems to be limited. Husband and children or the outside world?
"Furthermore, we will go back here after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the children will start school soon, and the company will also go to work." There is probably only one person who is the most leisurely left.
As he said, a man in front came to face him, and then a few steps away, he stretched out his fists at Xie Zheng, and the two smiled and fisted.
When Xu Ning saw this, the corners of her lips also smiled. Isn't this man just Zhou Tao, a friend and classmate of Brother Zheng for many years.
"Hey, Xu Ning, long time no see!" Zhou Tao waved to Xu Ning to say hello, "It's still so beautiful."
"You have seen a lot of vicissitudes. I haven't congratulated you on your promotion." Now Zhou Tao is the director of the Jiangcheng Cultural Relics Administration and the curator of the Jiangcheng Museum. He is also a visiting professor of the Department of Archaeology of Jiangcheng University. Rich and rich, but also a very fulfilling life.
Zhou Tao's wife is an associate professor in the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities at Jiangcheng University. The two had one son and one daughter. His daughter is now in junior high school, and his son is less than three years old.
"Thank you." Zhou Tao turned to Xie Zheng and said, "When will we leave? Let's go to Jiangcheng to have a meal at my house."
"The day after tomorrow, leave on Friday, and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here the day after tomorrow."
"Okay." Zhou Tao nodded, "Zhang Meng, you two will go together."
"No problem, is the place in Brother Zhou's house big enough?"
"Enough, do you think the house price in Jiangcheng is as high as that of the Imperial Capital? And I bought it early. The house price was only more than two hundred per square meter that year, and the house is big." Zhou Tao's temper is still so outrageous.
Xu Ning was originally a two-person line and has become a three-person line.
Mrs. Zhou learned that Xu Ning and Zhang Meng were from the Imperial University and Ming University respectively, and she admired them. They graduated from the top universities in China and they are really amazing.
When we came to the market, people wandered around. It was around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people who had left their homes or settled outside came back. We can often see some familiar but unnamed faces in the crowd.
I also ran into Lu Kang and Yang Bo here, and they came out to go shopping together.
Lu Kang has been working in Diyi these years, and his mental outlook is very good, but Yang Bo, who was popular with many young girls in school, seems to have a successful career. Of course, his beer belly has also come out. Fortunately, people did not give up, otherwise it is true. Let Xu Ning have a good meal.
"Are you getting a lot fatter?" Xu Ning said to Yang Bo with a smile.
Yang Bo laughed loudly, "There is no way, three days of entertainment, but you can't do without wine."
"I also often attend the wine bureau, but you don't have a big beer belly like you." Lu Kang raised his hand and patted the other party's stomach teasingly.
"Different physique."
Everyone wandered casually along the flow of people together, and then talked about the school reunion.
"Would you like to participate?" Lu Kang asked, "It's rare to come back. It happened that Yang Bo's house also built a new house. Let's gather at his house for a meal. Don't worry, his house is very large, with six rooms on two floors. The living room is the most spacious."
"when?"
"Tomorrow at noon, there is no time for the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow, and there is no time to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Besides, Mr. Xu almost never returned to his hometown in the past."
"My grandparents are in the imperial capital, and there are no relatives in my hometown. What do you do when you come back?" Xu Ning smiled.
"So..." Yang Bo took out a cigarette and lit it. "Some classmates are almost back this time. Let's go to my house to gather at noon tomorrow. We will invite a lot of people. Let's go on the 40th or 50th."
"No problem." Xu Ning nodded. Anyway, it will be fine tomorrow, and the distance is not far. People have said it, Xu Ning will not refuse.
Yang Bo lives in Yangzhuang, not far from Xiangshan Village. It is only seven or eight minutes by car. When you go to the village, you can find it. Of course, you can find it without asking. Yangzhuang has only a two-story building like Yang Bo’s house. The building can be seen clearly at the entrance of the village.
Xie Yang led his younger siblings and some younger siblings from individual families, followed by his grandmother and father. He was very curious about every stall in the market, especially when he saw a place selling kittens and puppies or chickens and ducks. Even more stopped.
The chickens and ducks here are all hatched by themselves, not old hens, but artificially hatched, which is also for the family's multiple income.
The chicks and ducks are all goose-yellow. The chirping sounds are very nice. Children like it when they look at it, but they can't buy it.
Xie Zheng was here waiting for his mother-in-law to buy the food. He was helping to carry it. The few children were eating a candy or candied haws and marshmallows.
Bantang is crispy and sprinkled with sesame seeds. It is sweet and original, but it is very sticky, but even so children love it, fresh and edible.
Qin Xuejuan didn't buy a lot. After all, she had all kinds of dishes in her daughter's space, but if she didn't buy anything, there were several villagers around her, and it couldn't be justified.
Simply buy something to deal with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and their family will return to the imperial capital, and they will not come back for many years. As for the matter a hundred years later, the old lady and old medicine uncle are going to be buried in the imperial capital, and they are not required to be buried together, as long as they are buried in Two adjacent positions will do.
This is probably what the old medicine uncle meant. After all, Xu Jianjun is not the old medicine uncle’s own son. If he and the old lady are buried together after death, I am afraid Xu Jianjun has any opinions in his heart, but now it is a new society, so it doesn’t matter whether they are buried together or not. NS.
After death, you don’t know what happened in your life. Where there is the so-called reincarnation, there is nothing when you die. Who cares after death, living with your heart when you are alive is more important than anything else.
After shopping, Zhang Meng and Xue Jialun went back first, greeted Xu Ning to clean up and go to their house for dinner.
To help her mother take the things she bought home, Xu Ning tidied up and left with Xie Zheng with the three children.
Zhang family, Zhang's mother and daughter worked in the kitchen after returning home.
"Ningning is as old as you? This is almost forty, and I don't see any age at all." Mama Zhang is now in her early sixties, but she has a very good body. She was packing up the carp that had just been bought at noon.
Zhang Meng nodded, "What her own company does is cosmetics, but it is still the world's number one brand. I use nature all the year round to show my youth. Am I old?"
Zhang Meng thinks it’s impossible. She has been using sober skin care products. Although she is almost forty now, her skin is still so white, tender and smooth. Otherwise, how could her dear husband ask for it twice in three days. pet.
Mother Zhang chuckled and said, "Yes, you are the youngest."
Xue Jialun is also holding her lips and holding back a smile. His wife is naturally very young. If she is more than 30 years old, if she wears a simpler dress, she still looks like a college student. Xue Jialun is willing to spend money on his wife. After all, his wife’s young and beautiful is also a man’s achievement. Every time he took his wife to attend various business meetings, he looked at other wives and his young, beautiful and well-built wife. That made him feel proud.
Although it is implicit in his bones, he is still used to competing with his son in private, so the relationship between husband and wife has been exceptionally harmonious these years.
And even though his father-in-law and mother-in-law are from the countryside, Xue Jialun likes this honest old couple very much. There are not so many twists and turns in their hearts. They have been married to his wife for many years, and their father-in-law has never done anything indecent secretly. Things will not bother them. As for consumption, they will give them a sum of money every month. The two elderly people will not spend enough money, and they will give their sons red envelopes during the New Year. It will not be delayed or because of money. Make any unpleasantness, so Xue Jialun also respects these two very much.
This two-story building was designed by Zhang Meng himself. Compared with the two-story buildings built by other houses in the village, the small building of Zhang's family looks very elegant and fashionable.
Outside is a one-meter-high wall and a two-meter-high iron fence. Parthenocissus and some flowers and plants are planted beside the fence. Now this season, the three walls are still full of greenery, which is very eye-catching.
The living room also has a strong sense of fashion, and the layout and decoration are very soft, which does not give people a strong sense of corners and corners.
The small buildings in other houses are said to be two floors, but in fact, it feels like a bungalow. The decoration inside is still so old-fashioned, and young people with a little fashion sense can't look down upon it.
Because of this, the old couple of Zhang's family are unwilling to move to Demon City to live with their children. They are not old and immobile. They should go underground without any delay. Although they can't see their children often, the children have grown up. , I wanted to live independently, and I came back to see them every year to save energy, and the old couple were also happy.
Besides, I’ve been busy with my children for most of my life. Now that I’m old, I naturally want to take a break. After my son gets married, if he has a grandson, they can go and take care of it. Of course, taking care of the grandson is willing, but I don’t plan to live in the magic city all the time. , Where did the comfortable habit of living in the village come from?
Of course, if they go to the magic city in the future, they are not afraid that their daughter-in-law will not wait to see them. After all, their daughter still has a suite for them in the magic city.
When Xie Zheng's family came over, standing in the small courtyard could already smell the tangy scent of the food.
As soon as he walked in, Zhang Meng greeted him warmly.
"Your house has been cleaned up very well." Xu Ning praised the living room, looking at it.
"I am also an interior designer, which also means that my face is not. Don't underestimate me." Zhang Meng brought out fresh fruits from the kitchen and asked Xue Jialun to receive them from the family, while he ran to the kitchen. Help Mama Zhang continue to cook lunch.
Xu Ning didn't look here either, and got up and went to the kitchen to help.
She has such a good relationship with Zhang Meng, even though she is a guest, she doesn't have to stick to this point.
Although Xue Jialun and Xie Zheng are not in the same field, the chat is still very topical, don't worry about being cold.
"Do you come back every Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"I come back every other year, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I won't go back during the Chinese New Year, and I will come here again next year." The two elders of the Xue family are also reasonable. The daughter-in-law is not a housewife, and she also has a prosperous career. Take a high look, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also very good, so even if the couple took their children to their natal family for the New Year in the next year, the two elders of Xue’s family have no objection. The left is just one week, and they can relax at home during the New Year. .
Therefore, only when a woman is independent can she have the right to speak and make decisions at home.
"I saw Lu Kang's wife before. They come back every year, but the relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not very good. The old people in the countryside may have some habits that are unacceptable to the urban people. One year, the couple returned with their children, Lu Kang The daughter-in-law almost didn't quarrel with her mother-in-law."
"Because of what?" Xu Ning asked.
"It's not the child's problem. Old people like to chew up the food and taste it in the children's mouth. Lu Kang's wife can't accept this. She thinks it's dirty, so she said something to her mother-in-law. After a few words, it was quite violent." Zhang Meng sighed, "But I think Lu Kang's wife is right on this point. I don't agree that my mother chewed the food by herself and stuffed it into my son's mouth."
After hearing this, Zhang's mother glared angrily at the girl, "I'm not happy yet."
Regarding this point, Xu Ning also agrees with Lu Kang’s wife’s approach. The elderly have many bad habits. Since they have seen it, she will bring them up. She has met Lu Kang’s wife many times, and her personality in private may be a bit squeamish. However, on the face of it, she knew very well the rules and also knew how to look at the situation. Therefore, no matter how unhappy she was about feeding by mouth, she also had to look at Lu Kang's face, so she would not speak too aggressively.
But this kind of thing is too common in the countryside here. The old people think that this is not a big deal at all. Being so unwelcome by the daughter-in-law makes her heart unhappy. Just telling the son that the daughter-in-law is not the one is not good.
Xu Ning had never been fed by mouth when she was a child. When she was a child, her grandmother had an arrogant temper and would not do anything like this to Xu Ning. Her mother was also from an excellent background, let alone doing it. Is this a fluke?
At that time, the children rarely drank milk powder, they were all breast-feeding, and they drank mash without breast-milk.
As for the elderly like to chew up the food by themselves and feed it to their grandchildren, this practice is really very unhygienic, and Lu Kang's wife's practice is not wrong.

Xu Rui sighed when he heard the words, "It didn't comfort me at all, and I should go back early after I have cleaned up, otherwise it may be more noisy."After Xu Jianjun and his wife came back, they packed up some things for worship. The three of them left, but after that, only Xu Jianjun will be left there. Qin Xuejuan and Xu Rui will return after the worship. Today this is the starting meal, and it is considered as a starting meal. It's been a long time since I returned to my hometown, I specially invited people of the same ethnic group to gather together, and then I have to wait for a meal before I leave. They are going to live in the village these days. As for the purchase of firewood, rice, oil and salt, it is convenient. What is not used up can be given to the villagers and cannot be wasted.Xie Zheng went to take a look at his wife, and saw that she was still sleeping peacefully in the bed, so he came to the master bedroom. The three children were already asleep next to each other.It was inevitable that the child could not find an adult when he got up, and Xie Zheng was about to take a nap against the quilt on the kang head.Behind the house, one or two words and the sound of people walking around in the village can be heard occasionally, and then the chirping of chickens or the chirping of birds, the whole ear actually makes people feel that it is not noisy, and here is his childhood The place where I have lived is not unfamiliar even if the house looks very mottled and old now.When I opened my eyes again, the children were no longer on the kang.He got up and lifted the thin quilt on his body. When he opened the door, he saw three children sitting at the door of the kitchen. Xie Yang was telling a story to his younger siblings with a book at this time."Dad is awake."Xie Zheng nodded, "Have grandma and uncle come back yet?""Grandma is back, uncle did not." Xie Yang pointed to another room, "Grandma is resting in that room.""Well, keep your voice down. Don't disturb your grandma and mother." Xie Zheng didn't continue to sleep either. He moved a chair and sat down in the yard. It was almost half past four at this time. It seemed that the weather could end in light rain at night. , The weather looked a little gloomy.At this time, the old village chief outside brought his son over with a small cart with a gas tank on it."Uncle Baoshuan!" Xie Zheng got up and greeted him.The old village chief patted the body of the gas tank, "Aren't you going to live here for a few days? There are two gas tanks in the house. You use this first. The gas inside is full, enough for you to use."Xie Zheng did not refuse, and helped Jiabao carry the media in, "Thank you, Uncle Baoshuan.""What are the thanks from the folks in the village?" The old village head didn't care, looked at the three children, and smiled at Xie Zheng: "You Xie family can be considered as having a future.""...Hmm!" Xie Zheng nodded with a smile.Thank you for being born again, so as not to let him Xie's family break.The father and son did not stay here long, but when they were leaving, Xie Zheng sent them to the door, "Uncle Baoshuan, bring Jiabao over for dinner tonight, Ningning reserved a table of food for noon."The old village chief did not refuse, and simply nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll come over at dinner in the evening."Xu Ning opened his eyes in a daze. It was already dusk outside the window, and the golden sunset was shining brightly in the distance.Going out of the room with a yawn, the twins entangled for a while."Mom, you finally got up.""Mom is a big slacker.""Mengmeng is more industrious than her mother."Xu Ning raised his hand and grunted baldly on their heads twice, "Yes, yes, you are both hardworking bees, don't make trouble, mom go and wash your face."Flicking a little bit of water in the basin, she washed her face with water, and the sleepy bugs dissipated instantly under the cooling effect, but the whole body was still a little tired, and the body was naturally uncomfortable after sleeping for a long time."Parents are not at home?" Xu Ning returned to the house and fetched a bottle of water and milk essence and gently wiped it on his face."Mom went to visit another house. Dad and Xu Rui were still busy outside. They were worried that it might rain at night. All those things have to be cleaned up and they should be back soon." Xie Zheng saw that his wife's face was pretty good, and he was relieved. NS.Xu Ning looked up at the setting sun in the distance. It didn't look like it could rain.About seven o'clock, Xu Jianjun and his wife, Xu Rui and the old village chief, and two other couples in the village came back together. At noon, Xu Ning asked the mobile chef to cook an extra table, just for the evening meal, as for tomorrow. In the morning, you can go to the market to eat some fried dough porridge or something. You can also make it by yourself at noon, and you don't need to buy too much, just enough for them to eat in the past few days.Xu Ning got up and went to prepare the food. It was actually not troublesome. Some dishes needed to be re-fried in the pot. It was very easy. Can.The sisters and brothers of Xu Ning are busy working below, and the old village chief's wife is coming to help. Qin Xuejuan is dragged onto the kang. Today there is no rule for men and women to sit separately. There is just one table of dishes, and the kang is not small. It's just a meal, not so particular.The old village chief also brought a handful of beer and two bottles of liquor from the supply and marketing agency. Can you drink such a large table of dishes at night anyway, not just two sips of wine?A plate of dishes was brought up out of the pot, and soon everyone sat around the big kang and moved their chopsticks.The three children didn't eat too much at night, so Xu Ning specially used a small bowl to serve them, so as not to see all the chopsticks mixed on the plate.In fact, after lunch, the unfinished meals were packaged by the villagers. If they were before, they would also bring them back. However, they have to entertain guests for dinner at night. Naturally, they can't be served with leftovers. It is their feelings towards this village that they have not changed, but in the past few years, the situation of the Xu family, returning to the village and eating the leftovers, do not say that Qin Xuejuan and Xu Jianjun do not like them either. These feelings are irrelevant, and they are not showing off money. After all, It's normal to eat leftovers leftovers. Today's food is mixed with many chopsticks and can't be swallowed anymore."Jianjun, you are about to retire at your age, right?""Yeah, I'm 59 this year, and I will retire in five or six years." At that time, the son will probably be married, and maybe the child will also be there. At that stage, he will be able to spend money at home with grandchildren. beautiful.Although there are still three grandchildren, the twins will be in their teens in five or six years. I'm afraid I can't play with my grandfather, which is a bit regretful."Our village also left you with a promising future." They knew Xu Jianjun's position, a ministerial-level national cadre. Everyone in the village felt proud of him. Although this is a rare opportunity for Xu Jianjun to come back, the other party She is busy with her work, and her old mother is also filial to her. There are no close relatives in the village, so naturally there is no need to come back often.Of course, the road in the village was repaired by Qin Xuejuan. The villagers are very grateful for this. In the past, when it rained and snowed, no one would want to go out. Going out would inevitably be covered in mud. Now it's fine. When it rains or snows, there is no problem at all. The cement roads extending in all directions in the village are in their hearts. Usually the roads in the village can be cleaned by the diligent villagers carrying a broom. There is no need to find someone to clean it alone.It's now after the autumn harvest. Looking at the hutongs and the streets, drying food can become much easier.Xu Jianjun took a sip of white wine and swallowed it with his teeth."Hey, it's hard to say. Since Ningning was admitted to college, fewer than ten children in the village have gone to college in these years, and the school is not good. The best one is Changshan's son, who passed the exam. A two books, the whole family also tightened their belts to live, although the student fund left by Ningning is still there." The old village chief's drink volume is obviously good, at least he drank white wine, unlike Xu Jianjun. Tangled, "But I stayed outside after graduation. I don't know how I'm going. People don't go home, but they can come back during the New Year, but they just stayed for three to five days and left. Hey, it's not like A filial child.""No, I've been reading for so many years." This man is Xu Jianjun's next cousin, and Xu Ning called the other's second uncle."When I came back last year during the Chinese New Year, I brought a piece of clothes for his parents. I guess they came back to buy the clothes in the county. I didn't have anything else. They have been working for the New Year. They looked special every year. Shame, he always said that there is a lot of work pressure outside, and his parents raised him so much. Whoever got sick called to ask him to come back and have a look. They also stubbornly said that the unit is too busy to walk away, and the company often takes time off. The company may be unhappy. They would lose their jobs. The more often, Chang Shan and the others would not call their sons. After they married their daughters-in-law, they would be even more powerful. They would return with their children. That attitude... Ay, really ungrateful.""I think it might have something to do with his wife." The second auntie took a chopstick and stuffed the meat into her mouth. This second aunt is also refreshing. She is very bold when drinking beer. She is over 60 years old. , I looked very fanciful, "I was rubbing the stick with Chang Shan's family last night. The tone of the daughter-in-law talking to her mother-in-law is really hard to listen to. It feels like talking to our country folks, it seems to be so much face. Yes, it sounds like a gun and a stick, and her grandson is not a good one either."It's really been a long time since Xu Ning listened to gossip and heard so heartily. Every household in the village knows everyone and doesn't want the high-rise buildings in the city. Perhaps as a neighbor for many years, I don't know whether the next door is a man or a woman. Even a little bit of things can be passed on in the village. Everyone knows that, so life actually has a lot of fun.She doesn't like to talk about gossip, but she likes to listen very much. The parents' short story has its unique charm.Naturally, they would not take care of other people's affairs, but the second aunt, the old village chief's wife, and another aunt, the three of them, and Qin Xuejuan all talked about some gossip that happened in the village over the years, which is naturally good. There are also those in his arms, but they don't make a lot of trouble.As for the son and daughter-in-law of Uncle Changshan's son and daughter-in-law who had been talked about for a long time last night, Xu Ning saw the real person the next morning.Early in the morning, when the sky was slightly bright, Xie Zheng and his wife opened their eyes. His spirits are naturally very good. Xu Ning's is also not bad. Yesterday afternoon, I slept a lot and almost didn't fall asleep at night. I originally wanted to help my husband. The physical strength between them sleeps, but they live here, and this bed looks like it can still lie on people. If it is so noisy, it may collapse, and they can't afford to lose that face. Xu Ning went to the end in the end. After a tossing in the space, he came out and fell asleep with her husband's sturdy and attractive body."You want to get up too?" Xie Zheng raised his eyebrows when he saw Xu Ning's behavior."Well, let's go to the market to have a look and buy something to eat back." There was not much left of the meal last night. After all, it was at noon yesterday. They didn't plan to eat until the next morning, and go for breakfast. I bought some fried dough sticks and soy milk. I don't know how to make the fried dough sticks. They are especially delicious. The fried dough sticks that I ate in Imperial Capital are crispy on the surface and soft on the inside. The fried dough sticks here are soft and soft. But the taste is not worse than the breakfast fritters in the Imperial Hotel, perhaps because the memory filter is heavier, but the taste is not exaggerated."No need for this!" Xie Zheng stepped forward and pinched his wife's chin, covered her thin lips, and kissed deeply for a while, and a slightly rough palm rushed into her white silk nightdress to steal the fragrance and jade, and finally did not bear it. Live, "Lie on the windowsill." Brother Zheng lifted his wife down, and from behind, he hugged her slender waist which was not full, and clasped her hands slightly hard.Xu Ning's agitated hands propped on the window sill, the curtains were still there, but the color had faded badly, and luckily they were still usable.Naturally, there is no way to do bad things in bed, and I am afraid that I will not get acquainted, but now this posture is very exciting and true.Brother Zheng hugged his wife's waist, after a fierce exercise, the two were heartily. Occasionally, the slender neck of the daughter-in-law leaned back because of trembling. Brother Zheng can also be tempted to not want it, and the palm of the hand lovingly brushed every woman in her arms. An inch of skin, the impulse cannot be suppressed at all.After the end, Xie Zheng went out to fetch water and came back to wash her body, and then changed clothes and went out. At this time, almost everyone in the family got up. Only Xiao Lemon poked her **** on the kang too lazy to get up, and Qin Xuejuan was lying on her side. Beside her, talking to her granddaughter in a soft voice, hearing the little girl's occasional delicate voice can also make her happy for a long time."Sister, brother-in-law, have breakfast." Xu Rui greeted them both in the yard, "Brother Jiabao brought it here."Xu Ning went to wash his face. It is autumn now. The skin care products in the morning must be wiped off, otherwise the skin on the face will feel wrinkled together. It is particularly uncomfortable. Autumn moisturizing is essential.Then I drew a little makeup, and put a long hair neatly into a braid at the back of my head. Then I went to the room and prepared to call my daughter to get up."Mom, look at it, it's breakfast, leave it to me here." Xu Ning said.Qin Xuejuan glanced at her daughter, continued to stare at her little granddaughter, and said with a smile: "You go eat first, Mom will change her clothes.""Don't get used to her.""go Go."Qin Xuejuan then coaxed the little girl out of the bed, and then told her to get up early and go to the market after breakfast. Little Lemon milkyly asked her grandma what the market was, and she was energetic when she heard the market. stand up.After breakfast, Xu Jianjun and Xu Rui went to the ancestral grave. There was a light rain last night, but it stopped as soon as the ground got wet. There is no delay in starting work today. It will be completed today and tomorrow. It's not a big project. Although the Xu family is rich now, Xu Jianjun has no plans to repair the grandeur of his ancestral tomb, but it is not too bad.He is still a national cadre now, and doing this kind of thing too much is of no benefit.In this position over the years, it's not that no one gave him gifts at the back door, but the gifts were cleverly sent back by Xu Jianjun. Everyone in the unit knew that Xu Jianjun, Minister Xu Jianjun, does not smoke or drink. He usually likes to drink. Tea, but the tea people drink their own special grade Yugong Longjing tea, even if others want to send it through the back door, many of them are not necessarily affordable, and the affordable ones are also difficult to buy. The grade is lower than this tea. , Are you embarrassed to send it?This also saves Xu Jianjun a lot of trouble. No matter how high-end gifts are, you don't have Mrs. Xu rich, aren't you? Mrs. Xu is also a business person. She didn't even ask her husband for help when she was near the water. Are you embarrassed as an outsider?Therefore, Xu Jianjun's political achievements over the years cannot be described as beautiful. In addition, the Ministry of Finance and the Taxation Bureau have a relatively close relationship. Every year after Xu Jianjun's family pays taxes, the tax bureau chief always calls Xu Jianjun to talk about your wife and daughter. How much taxes have been paid this year, etc., really speaking, the relationship between these two senior officials is the best. They can also get together in private for tea and chess, and have a good relationship with other colleagues of the same level, except unless It is a meeting or work contact, but there is not much contact in private.After changing the clothes for the three children, the family locked the door and went to the market. When they walked out of the alley, many people saw this family and greeted them one after another.Among them were the two elders from last night. They were also preparing to go to the market with their family members. Many people in the village went to the village across the road in a mighty manner.The twins were taught to be very sensible, and chatting with the children in the village would not have any arrogance, but quickly played with the children and grandchildren of the second uncle's family."Mengmeng, this dress of yours is so beautiful." The second uncle's granddaughter is named Xu Cuicui, this year is one year older than Xiaomengmen, and there are two older brothers on it. In junior high school, Cui Cui just entered the first grade this year, just like Xiao Lemon.Children here are usually late to school.However, Little Lemon has been able to keep up with nutrition since she was a child. Perhaps it is also a genetic problem. She is very beautiful and slender. Even if she has a small face with baby fat, she is a slim girl."My mother bought this for me." She tugged at the corners of her skirt, her legs were knee-length black college socks, and her feet were a pair of small white leather shoes, very delicate and beautiful.Seeing Xu Cuicui's envious eyes, Xiao Lemon shook her hand and said, "I have brought several skirts. You will come with me when I come back to the fair. I will give you one.""Really?" Xu Cuicui looked at Little Lemon happily, and when she saw her nodding, she said embarrassedly: "Then I can trade the delicious girl fruit from the mountain for you, OK?"Little girls love to be beautiful. Of course, their parents are working outside, and the money they make each year is enough for the three children in the family. Just to go to school, life is naturally a little nervous, and clothes can't be bought often.And even if you have money, Little Lemon's skirt is not cheap, one piece costs hundreds of dollars, so the little girl can buy five or six skirts every year, otherwise, why more and more couples want a daughter in the future. I just saw those beautiful little girls' clothes in the store and wanted to have a daughter to dress her up beautifully."Okay!" Little Lemon had no objection.Regardless of how young children are, the world of children is also very complicated. Since Little Lemon is willing to give up her skirt, it means that this little girl has caught Little Lemon's eyes, or she has been held in the palm of the hand by the whole family since she was a child. , But not so friendly.Not far behind them, there was a family of three walking slowly. Men and women wore more fashionable clothes, but compared with Xie Zheng's family, it was naturally shabby.Perhaps the price of the clothes is not very different, but the aura is clear at a glance.This family of three is Xu Changshan's son Xu Tianming's family. His wife is naturally a college student, and he is in the same company. The local graduates, in fact, really want to elaborate, Xu Tianming almost entered the wife's home.In the city where they work, their husband and wife will take their son to visit the woman's parents every week, but for the Xu Changshan couple who gave birth to Xu Tianming, perhaps they can only see their son once a year. This time they will return to the Mid-Autumn Festival In my hometown, it is obvious that I do not plan to come back for the New Year. If I come back for the New Year, I will definitely not go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival."Who is the previous family member?" Xu Tianming's wife asked.Xu Tianming briefly talked to his wife. The woman's eyes almost didn't come out. I didn't expect that there was such an arrogant family in this shabby village. Why didn't you know before?Occasionally I saw Xie Zheng talking to the half-aged teenager next to him with his head sideways. The squad leader's Junxiu face made the woman trembling with her heart. Thinking about other men's men, and then looking at her husband, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable in my heart. .Of course, she was sour in her heart. As for putting it into action, her mind has not been flooded.I looked down on the people in this village, but I didn't expect Golden Phoenix to fly out here. Now she also uses Sumei products, but it took her several months of salary to buy this set. The woman in front is actually the owner of this cosmetics company. How can this be done without a set of cosmetics? Maybe she can get a set of cosmetics for nothing. That is super expensive. The whole set costs tens of thousands. She only uses simple ones. A six-piece set of skin care products also cost a small three thousand yuan.Xu Tianming's wife is a typist in the office, and her education is not as high as Xu Tianming. To marry him is just because she is a local, and her monthly salary is only 700 or 800 yuan, but Xu Tianming's salary is hers. More than twice as much, otherwise she would definitely not marry Xu Tianming, who has a rural household registration.And the second aunt and the others who were walking with Qin Xuejuan saw Xu Tianming's family behind and rustledly talked to Qin Xuejuan. Qin Xuejuan turned to look at the family of three, and then looked back nonchalantly.Being born from the heart is not absolute, but Xu Tianming's wife looks terrific on the face, but it is such a result that the college students who pity Xu Changshan and his wife, who have worked so hard to support, are such a result.Going up the stairs to the main road, I saw a family of seven or eight people standing on the side of the road. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zhang Meng's family."I have been waiting for you for almost 20 minutes." Zhang Meng said with a serious expression on his hips when he saw Xu Ning.Xu Ning chuckled, "Don't you know where my hometown is? You don't know how to find it?""Actually, it is very comfortable to blow the morning breeze here. I slept well in my hometown last night?" Zhang Meng stuffed his son into her husband's hands and walked side by side with Xu Ning to the opposite village, standing in this position. You can already see the bazaar over there.Xu Ning and Zhang Meng's parents greeted them before they chatted with Zhang Meng, who was walking slowly behind the crowd."It's not bad. The bedding is prepared by the villagers. I brought a four-piece suit from home. The air here is fresh and the breathing is much easier.""At noon and Xie Zheng, take the kids to my house for dinner. No one is in the house. Relatives will come to my house tomorrow." It must be the best, and there are two small buildings in the house, so every year relatives still gather at Zhang Meng's home to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together."Okay, if you invite me, I will definitely go.""Both Yang Bo and Lu Kang are back. Lu Kang is doing very well in your company now. He is considered a successful person. Yang Bo is in Haicheng and his development is not bad. Many of his classmates rushed back this time. Can host a reunion of junior high school classmates!" At this point, Zhang Meng chuckled, "I have attended college reunions almost every year in the past few years, but the reunion of junior high school should be the first time in my life."But this is not to look down upon. After all, they were all born in this land. Naturally, there are some topics when talking. It's just junior high school. It's been more than 20 years. The people who gather together to talk about are nothing more than husbands and children. Compare.The university can handle it, but most of the children of their generation dropped out after graduating from junior high school, and the common topic is only these extraneous things. It's not like a college party that can talk about society, people's livelihood, and economic development. and many more.Talking with these junior high school classmates who have dropped out a long time seems to be limited. Husband and children or the outside world?"Furthermore, we will go back here after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the children will start school soon, and the company will also go to work." There is probably only one person who is the most leisurely left.As he said, a man in front came to face him, and then a few steps away, he stretched out his fists at Xie Zheng, and the two smiled and fisted.When Xu Ning saw this, the corners of her lips also smiled. Isn't this man just Zhou Tao, a friend and classmate of Brother Zheng for many years."Hey, Xu Ning, long time no see!" Zhou Tao waved to Xu Ning to say hello, "It's still so beautiful.""You have seen a lot of vicissitudes. I haven't congratulated you on your promotion." Now Zhou Tao is the director of the Jiangcheng Cultural Relics Administration and the curator of the Jiangcheng Museum. He is also a visiting professor of the Department of Archaeology of Jiangcheng University. Rich and rich, but also a very fulfilling life.Zhou Tao's wife is an associate professor in the Department of Social Sciences and Humanities at Jiangcheng University. The two had one son and one daughter. His daughter is now in junior high school, and his son is less than three years old."Thank you." Zhou Tao turned to Xie Zheng and said, "When will we leave? Let's go to Jiangcheng to have a meal at my house.""The day after tomorrow, leave on Friday, and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival here the day after tomorrow.""Okay." Zhou Tao nodded, "Zhang Meng, you two will go together.""No problem, is the place in Brother Zhou's house big enough?""Enough, do you think the house price in Jiangcheng is as high as that of the Imperial Capital? And I bought it early. The house price was only more than two hundred per square meter that year, and the house is big." Zhou Tao's temper is still so outrageous.Xu Ning was originally a two-person line and has become a three-person line.Mrs. Zhou learned that Xu Ning and Zhang Meng were from the Imperial University and Ming University respectively, and she admired them. They graduated from the top universities in China and they are really amazing.When we came to the market, people wandered around. It was around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many people who had left their homes or settled outside came back. We can often see some familiar but unnamed faces in the crowd.I also ran into Lu Kang and Yang Bo here, and they came out to go shopping together.Lu Kang has been working in Diyi these years, and his mental outlook is very good, but Yang Bo, who was popular with many young girls in school, seems to have a successful career. Of course, his beer belly has also come out. Fortunately, people did not give up, otherwise it is true. Let Xu Ning have a good meal."Are you getting a lot fatter?" Xu Ning said to Yang Bo with a smile.Yang Bo laughed loudly, "There is no way, three days of entertainment, but you can't do without wine.""I also often attend the wine bureau, but you don't have a big beer belly like you." Lu Kang raised his hand and patted the other party's stomach teasingly."Different physique."Everyone wandered casually along the flow of people together, and then talked about the school reunion."Would you like to participate?" Lu Kang asked, "It's rare to come back. It happened that Yang Bo's house also built a new house. Let's gather at his house for a meal. Don't worry, his house is very large, with six rooms on two floors. The living room is the most spacious.""when?""Tomorrow at noon, there is no time for the Mid-Autumn Festival the day after tomorrow, and there is no time to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Besides, Mr. Xu almost never returned to his hometown in the past.""My grandparents are in the imperial capital, and there are no relatives in my hometown. What do you do when you come back?" Xu Ning smiled."So..." Yang Bo took out a cigarette and lit it. "Some classmates are almost back this time. Let's go to my house to gather at noon tomorrow. We will invite a lot of people. Let's go on the 40th or 50th.""No problem." Xu Ning nodded. Anyway, it will be fine tomorrow, and the distance is not far. People have said it, Xu Ning will not refuse.Yang Bo lives in Yangzhuang, not far from Xiangshan Village. It is only seven or eight minutes by car. When you go to the village, you can find it. Of course, you can find it without asking. Yangzhuang has only a two-story building like Yang Bo's house. The building can be seen clearly at the entrance of the village.Xie Yang led his younger siblings and some younger siblings from individual families, followed by his grandmother and father. He was very curious about every stall in the market, especially when he saw a place selling kittens and puppies or chickens and ducks. Even more stopped.The chickens and ducks here are all hatched by themselves, not old hens, but artificially hatched, which is also for the family's multiple income.The chicks and ducks are all goose-yellow. The chirping sounds are very nice. Children like it when they look at it, but they can't buy it.Xie Zheng was here waiting for his mother-in-law to buy the food. He was helping to carry it. The few children were eating a candy or candied haws and marshmallows.Bantang is crispy and sprinkled with sesame seeds. It is sweet and original, but it is very sticky, but even so children love it, fresh and edible.Qin Xuejuan didn't buy a lot. After all, she had all kinds of dishes in her daughter's space, but if she didn't buy anything, there were several villagers around her, and it couldn't be justified.Simply buy something to deal with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and their family will return to the imperial capital, and they will not come back for many years. As for the matter a hundred years later, the old lady and old medicine uncle are going to be buried in the imperial capital, and they are not required to be buried together, as long as they are buried in Two adjacent positions will do.This is probably what the old medicine uncle meant. After all, Xu Jianjun is not the old medicine uncle's own son. If he and the old lady are buried together after death, I am afraid Xu Jianjun has any opinions in his heart, but now it is a new society, so it doesn't matter whether they are buried together or not. NS.After death, you don't know what happened in your life. Where there is the so-called reincarnation, there is nothing when you die. Who cares after death, living with your heart when you are alive is more important than anything else.After shopping, Zhang Meng and Xue Jialun went back first, greeted Xu Ning to clean up and go to their house for dinner.To help her mother take the things she bought home, Xu Ning tidied up and left with Xie Zheng with the three children.Zhang family, Zhang's mother and daughter worked in the kitchen after returning home."Ningning is as old as you? This is almost forty, and I don't see any age at all." Mama Zhang is now in her early sixties, but she has a very good body. She was packing up the carp that had just been bought at noon.Zhang Meng nodded, "What her own company does is cosmetics, but it is still the world's number one brand. I use nature all the year round to show my youth. Am I old?"Zhang Meng thinks it's impossible. She has been using sober skin care products. Although she is almost forty now, her skin is still so white, tender and smooth. Otherwise, how could her dear husband ask for it twice in three days. pet.Mother Zhang chuckled and said, "Yes, you are the youngest."Xue Jialun is also holding her lips and holding back a smile. His wife is naturally very young. If she is more than 30 years old, if she wears a simpler dress, she still looks like a college student. Xue Jialun is willing to spend money on his wife. After all, his wife's young and beautiful is also a man's achievement. Every time he took his wife to attend various business meetings, he looked at other wives and his young, beautiful and well-built wife. That made him feel proud.Although it is implicit in his bones, he is still used to competing with his son in private, so the relationship between husband and wife has been exceptionally harmonious these years.And even though his father-in-law and mother-in-law are from the countryside, Xue Jialun likes this honest old couple very much. There are not so many twists and turns in their hearts. They have been married to his wife for many years, and their father-in-law has never done anything indecent secretly. Things will not bother them. As for consumption, they will give them a sum of money every month. The two elderly people will not spend enough money, and they will give their sons red envelopes during the New Year. It will not be delayed or because of money. Make any unpleasantness, so Xue Jialun also respects these two very much.This two-story building was designed by Zhang Meng himself. Compared with the two-story buildings built by other houses in the village, the small building of Zhang's family looks very elegant and fashionable.Outside is a one-meter-high wall and a two-meter-high iron fence. Parthenocissus and some flowers and plants are planted beside the fence. Now this season, the three walls are still full of greenery, which is very eye-catching.The living room also has a strong sense of fashion, and the layout and decoration are very soft, which does not give people a strong sense of corners and corners.The small buildings in other houses are said to be two floors, but in fact, it feels like a bungalow. The decoration inside is still so old-fashioned, and young people with a little fashion sense can't look down upon it.Because of this, the old couple of Zhang's family are unwilling to move to Demon City to live with their children. They are not old and immobile. They should go underground without any delay. Although they can't see their children often, the children have grown up. , I wanted to live independently, and I came back to see them every year to save energy, and the old couple were also happy.Besides, I've been busy with my children for most of my life. Now that I'm old, I naturally want to take a break. After my son gets married, if he has a grandson, they can go and take care of it. Of course, taking care of the grandson is willing, but I don't plan to live in the magic city all the time. , Where did the comfortable habit of living in the village come from?Of course, if they go to the magic city in the future, they are not afraid that their daughter-in-law will not wait to see them. After all, their daughter still has a suite for them in the magic city.When Xie Zheng's family came over, standing in the small courtyard could already smell the tangy scent of the food.As soon as he walked in, Zhang Meng greeted him warmly."Your house has been cleaned up very well." Xu Ning praised the living room, looking at it."I am also an interior designer, which also means that my face is not. Don't underestimate me." Zhang Meng brought out fresh fruits from the kitchen and asked Xue Jialun to receive them from the family, while he ran to the kitchen. Help Mama Zhang continue to cook lunch.Xu Ning didn't look here either, and got up and went to the kitchen to help.She has such a good relationship with Zhang Meng, even though she is a guest, she doesn't have to stick to this point.Although Xue Jialun and Xie Zheng are not in the same field, the chat is still very topical, don't worry about being cold."Do you come back every Mid-Autumn Festival?""I come back every other year, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I won't go back during the Chinese New Year, and I will come here again next year." The two elders of the Xue family are also reasonable. The daughter-in-law is not a housewife, and she also has a prosperous career. Take a high look, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also very good, so even if the couple took their children to their natal family for the New Year in the next year, the two elders of Xue's family have no objection. The left is just one week, and they can relax at home during the New Year. .Therefore, only when a woman is independent can she have the right to speak and make decisions at home."I saw Lu Kang's wife before. They come back every year, but the relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not very good. The old people in the countryside may have some habits that are unacceptable to the urban people. One year, the couple returned with their children, Lu Kang The daughter-in-law almost didn't quarrel with her mother-in-law.""Because of what?" Xu Ning asked."It's not the child's problem. Old people like to chew up the food and taste it in the children's mouth. Lu Kang's wife can't accept this. She thinks it's dirty, so she said something to her mother-in-law. After a few words, it was quite violent." Zhang Meng sighed, "But I think Lu Kang's wife is right on this point. I don't agree that my mother chewed the food by herself and stuffed it into my son's mouth."After hearing this, Zhang's mother glared angrily at the girl, "I'm not happy yet."Regarding this point, Xu Ning also agrees with Lu Kang's wife's approach. The elderly have many bad habits. Since they have seen it, she will bring them up. She has met Lu Kang's wife many times, and her personality in private may be a bit squeamish. However, on the face of it, she knew very well the rules and also knew how to look at the situation. Therefore, no matter how unhappy she was about feeding by mouth, she also had to look at Lu Kang's face, so she would not speak too aggressively.But this kind of thing is too common in the countryside here. The old people think that this is not a big deal at all. Being so unwelcome by the daughter-in-law makes her heart unhappy. Just telling the son that the daughter-in-law is not the one is not good.Xu Ning had never been fed by mouth when she was a child. When she was a child, her grandmother had an arrogant temper and would not do anything like this to Xu Ning. Her mother was also from an excellent background, let alone doing it. Is this a fluke?At that time, the children rarely drank milk powder, they were all breast-feeding, and they drank mash without breast-milk.As for the elderly like to chew up the food by themselves and feed it to their grandchildren, this practice is really very unhygienic, and Lu Kang's wife's practice is not wrong.Off-topic It is very troublesome to modify the typo on our website, and I cannot modify it myself. I will talk to the editor when it's over and focus on making changes. mwah
