"Thank you and the people at the Homecoming website for your unremitting efforts in bringing Axi home. Thank you also for taking care of him like a younger brother..."
There are no secrets in the village.
25 years ago, Uncle Mu Hei took away two children, Axi and Amu.
Amu was selected as a candidate for the patriarch and was taught by the old patriarch and Uncle Muhei.
Axi was sent away far away.
This is known to everyone in the whole village.
It was the first time for the people who came to the Guiyang website to come, and everyone had some hope that one day they would really be able to find Axi.
Ye Wan and He Sichen came here for the first time, pretending to be tourists.
Uncle Sarah was afraid that his wife would be upset and did not tell her, but when he and Uncle Buku were drinking tea, he let out a few words.
When the two of them appeared again yesterday, Amu knew clearly that the two of them came to recognize the door last time, fearing that Uncle Sara's family had already left their eldest son behind, or that the family did not welcome him.
In the six months since he didn't come back, Ye Wan and the Homecoming Website might have found out how Axi was lost, whether Uncle Sarah's family had made any efforts to find Axi in the past few years, and other such things.
Only then did Axi get sent back.
"Xiaowan, thank you!"
Amuchong raised the wine bowl to Ye Wan.
Bang!
Clinking the glasses together, Ye Wan smiled, but when she lowered her head and saw the full bowl of wine, she felt frightened.
With her ability to drink a glass of wine, she didn't know if she could last until the end of this warm welcome banquet.
It would be a pity if he just fell asleep.
But when the bowl was brought to her mouth, Ye Wan's eyes lit up.
It was like she casually threw a few loquats in Wufeng Mountain, mashed them and mixed them with water to drink. It had a rich fruity aroma and the smell of wine was almost undetectable.
After finishing a bowl, Ye Wan was still full of ideas.
On the side, Axiu poured another bowl for Ye Wan, "Sister Wan, this is the loquat water made by grandma. It won't be intoxicating. If you like it, drink more."
Looking up again, she saw Aunt Sara smiling and nodding at her, her eyes full of thanks.
Ye Wan picked up the bowl and said, "Thank you, Mom!"
Aunt Sarah was stunned for a moment.
On the side, He Sichen was also stunned for a moment.
Then a bright smile burst into his eyes.
"Daddy, grandma..."
He Sichen raised a bowl and toasted to the two of them, "Your Axi is back. Today is the day for our family reunion. My brothers and sisters and I toast you with this glass of wine. We will honor you well in the future!"
With the words "brother and sister", Axiu and Agui both stood up and picked up their wine bowls.
In the first place, Sarah and his wife had a few more creases on their smiling faces.
The couple looked at each other, and Aunt Sara looked at Ye Wan, "Xiaowan, since you call me grandma, we are a family from now on. Let's have a drink together."
"good!"
Ye Wan didn't hesitate, stood up gracefully, and the six members of the family clinked glasses together.
After sitting down again, Aunt Sara warmly greeted everyone to eat.
Eighteen Bowls, as the name suggests, there are all large and small bowls on the table.
Hot and cold dishes.
Meat and vegetarian dishes.
Full of color and flavor.
The men drank and boxed.
The women drank soup, water and homemade fruit drinks, and then talked about the handsome Ah Xi and her beautiful little night. They also envy the Sarah family for finding their son who had been missing for 25 years, and they also picked up a fairy-like daughter for free.
.
When the steaming buns made with small animal patterns and dotted with red dots came, the children wanted tigers and rabbits, and the atmosphere under the big banyan tree was full of laughter.
The feast lasted from noon to evening.
As night falls, the lights on the big banyan tree light up.
The bonfire in the center of the col was also lit.
The firelight and lights complement each other, illuminating everyone's happy faces.
