At six o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Jian finally returned to Xiping Village.

When the whole family saw Xia Jian coming back, they were naturally very happy. Especially Ma Yan, she suddenly became like a little girl. She first helped Xia Jian take off her coat, and then made a cup of tea for him and sent it to the water.

After dinner, Xia Zecheng and Ma Dongshan went to Chen Gui's house. This is a custom of rural people. People who die and have to watch the night before they are buried. Basically, the whole village will take turns to sit. The closest people and best friends usually sit until dawn. Others in the village can go home one after another after midnight.

As soon as my father and father-in-law left, Xia Jian jumped onto the big kang to help take care of the three babies. He and Ma Yan were a little busy taking care of the three children. You can imagine how hard it was for the mother and mother-in-law on weekdays. When she thought of this, Xia Jian couldn't help but look up at his mother, whose temples were getting whiter. He felt indescribable sorrow in his heart.

What do you think this person is busy all his life? Take his parents for example. They seem to be busy with his son alone for the rest of their lives.

Just as Xia Jian looked at his three treasures and thought about his parents who had been working hard for life, Xia Sanhu and Chen Erniu walked in quickly.

"We use our evening to take your ride to Shuijing Village. Over the years, Chen Xiaolan and Chen Haiping have come to greet us for a long time, but we have never been to their house once. It happens to be a little time tonight, otherwise you will be gone again when the sky is dawn."

Xia Sanhu said to Xia Jian with a serious look on his face.

Ma Yan glanced at Xia Jian and said, "Then go quickly! You throw more gifts into the car, and if you meet an acquaintance, you can also go there. If you are not at home these years, people have come to greet your parents for New Year's greetings, and you should go."

When Xia Jian was still hesitating whether to go, Chen Erniu stepped forward two steps and pulled him off the big kang. When Xia Jian put on his clothes and was about to pick up the gifts from home, Xia Sanhu smiled and said, "It's all ready for you, just put it next to your car, just leave it alone."

There was nothing to be polite between the three of them. When Xia Jian heard this, he took nothing and followed Xia Sanhu and Chen Erniu to the entrance of the village.

As soon as he opened the car door, Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu were putting gifts in the car, they saw the lights of the car flashing, and Wang Youcai's car parked next to Xia Jian's car.

The car window was lowered, and Wang Youcai stretched out his head out of the car window. He smiled and said, "It's dark, where are you going?"

"Oh! Go and have a visit to relatives, you just came back from the city? Thank you for your hard work!"

Xia Jian quickly answered. Because Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu didn't talk to Wang Youcai at all.

Wang Youcai sighed and said, "I ran away for the whole day for Chen Gui's family, and I was exhausted."

"Hi! Good brother, this is the time to do your best. If you don't help him, the villagers won't scold you to death. Come back quickly! Maybe someone is waiting to use the things in your car!"

After Xia Jian finished speaking, he quickly got into the car.

Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu watched him turn the car and then get on. Wang Youcai never left. After he watched Xia Jian's car drive towards Dongshan, he drove away.

"What a thing, I only know how to add icing on the cake, but I don't know how to help you in time. It's better not to make friends like this."

Chen Erniu snorted coldly and said a little disgusted.

Xia Jian, who was driving, smiled and said, "Yes! It seems that he has learned some knowledge since he has been a village cadre over the years. Being able to understand this principle means that you are motivated."

"Isn't it? You said that Chen Gui has been following Wang Youcai's butt since he was a child, doing good and bad things together, and also suppressing a lot of thunder for him. That's good. Someone has something to do at home, but he was so resentful after just one day of running. What's the use of giving him a person like him?"

As soon as Chen Erniu finished speaking, the car had reached the foot of Dongshan Mountain. The road began to steeper and the curvature was very fast. Especially at night in the mountains, the light was very dark and the visibility was poor, so you must be 100% focused on driving.

After rushing to a few big bends, Liuling Village appeared in front of him in the night. The bright lights of the village looked very dazzling in the night. Xia Jian is the most familiar here. He thought that in order to build an apple base, he fought a lot with Liu Guike from this village.

When Xia Jian thought of this person, he hurriedly asked Chen Erniu: "There is a powerful figure in Liuling Village. What is his current situation?"

"Oh! You mean Liu Gui! He died before the New Year. I heard that his son, who was a high-ranking official, came back. The funeral was very beautiful. I heard that not many people went there."

Chen Erniu said and laughed, his smile contained a lot of meaning.

Xia Sanhu, who was sitting in the back row, said: "This old man was too domineering when he was alive. He had to ask about everything in the village and looked down on himself too high. In fact, he offended many people. If you say someone like him, who will attend his funeral after his death?"

While talking, the car had already arrived at Zhangbao Village. Xia Jian didn't speak anymore. He drove the car attentively. Looking at these familiar places, he couldn't help but think of a lot.

When he arrived at Shuijing Village, Xia Jian drove the car directly to the gate of Chen Haiping's house. Under the car lights, the courtyard wall made of mud was now replaced by red bricks. After just looking at this, Xia Jian knew that Shuijing Village had changed quietly.

Hearing the sound of a car at the gate, Chen Haiping ran out in his clothes. He stood at the gate and asked with a smile: "Who are you going to? If you don't know, please ask me."

"Just go to your house!"

Xia Jian laughed and pushed open the car door and jumped down.

When Chen Haiping saw clearly that the person coming was Xia Jianshi, this honest old farmer rushed over excitedly. He held Xia Jian's hand tightly and said, "Oh, Mr. Xia! I really would never dream of you coming. You should have grown up in this place, and you have to see the changes in our village."

"Hey! Old Chen, you can't just see Mr. Xia. If you don't care about us, don't you?"

Chen Erniu came over with a haha, carrying a gift. Xia Sanhu followed behind him.

"Oh! It's amazing, all the people who came tonight were heavyweights. I, Old Chen, are so happy."

Chen Haiping joked and hurriedly greeted Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu, and then several people walked towards the gate together.

As Xia Jian walked in, he smiled and said, "Old Chen! It's not simple. There have been earth-shaking changes in a few years. It's amazing!"
