It was already around five o'clock in the afternoon when Yang Fan and Liu Qing got off the train. After thanking Yang Fan several times, the migrant worker brother finally left.
Yang Fan looked at the migrant worker brother's retreating back, sighed, and said: "Hey, good people can't be good these days? Look at this brother, I don't know how many times he has thanked me!"
Liu Qing blushed, stretched out her hand, twisted Yang Fan's arm, bit her lip, and said like a mosquito, "Do you want to distract me?"
After being exposed by Liu Qing, Yang Fan laughed "hehe" a few times. Yes, he said that just to distract Liu Qing's attention. Because on the train just now, Yang Fan had enough of Liu Qing's tofu.
Liu Qing's pretty face was always red.
Before getting off the train, Liu Qing whispered to Yang Fan that she would "retaliate" against him. Unexpectedly, Yang Fan's method of distracting her failed to work!
However, Liu Qing only twisted Yang Fan a little, and did not "retaliate" against Yang Fan relentlessly.
"Let's go quickly. We have to take a bus and hope to catch the last bus." Liu Qing said, pulling Yang Fan out of the train station quickly, took a taxi, and went straight to the long-distance bus station.
Yang Fan didn't know where Liu Qing's hometown was, so he could only follow Liu Qing. After getting off the train, he transferred to a long-distance bus. After a bumpy journey of nearly two hours, the long-distance bus finally pulled into the station.
It was almost seven o'clock when Yang Fan and Liu Qing came out of the long-distance bus station.
After getting off the bus, before Yang Fan had time to experience the scenery of this small county, Liu Qing dragged him to another bus. After another bumpy ride, the bus stopped at the terminal.
"Not there yet?" Yang Fan looked at Liu Qing next to him with some surprise. We have reached the terminal. It seems that this area is relatively remote, but Liu Qing is holding his hand and continuing to move forward.
What do you mean?
"It will take about half an hour's walk to get there." Liu Qing pointed to a large mountain in front of her in the darkness and said, "Go in the direction of that mountain."
"Isn't it? Your hometown is at the foot of the mountain, right?" Yang Fan was stunned and speechless.
"It's not that far." Liu Qing said and walked forward first.
Yang Fan had no choice but to follow behind.
Although it's not as far away as Liu Qing said, Liu Qing's hometown is probably not very far from the mountain! When Yang Fan and Liu Qing arrived at Liu Qing's hometown village, it was already dark.
The village is surrounded by tall, lush trees, and you can faintly hear the sound of wind mixed with the faint sound of water. Obviously, this village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, making it an excellent place to live.
"Hey, I said, you won't be able to find the door, right?" Yang Fan suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Liu Qing if she had ever returned to her hometown, and couldn't help but asked worriedly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Qing said displeasedly, and then said: "We're here."
Only then did Yang Fan realize that the two of them had unknowingly walked to a courtyard. Liu Qing opened the door of the courtyard and walked in, shouting: "Dad, Mom!"
"Hey, old man, I think I heard Qing'er's voice?" Liu Ma's voice sounded in the house.
"You must have heard wrong!" Dad Liu said, "I think you are thinking about your daughter!"
"Dad, Mom!" Liu Qing walked in this time, her voice became louder, and Liu's father also heard it.
"Listen!" Liu Ma said.
"It seems to be Qing'er's voice." Liu's father's voice sounded, followed by a sound of kicking, and then the lights in the courtyard turned on.
Yang Fan also happened to follow Liu Qing to the door at this time. Liu Qing opened the door and walked in, and Yang Fan followed.
"Qing'er, Xiaofan? Why are you two here?" Liu Ma looked surprised.
"Qing'er said that when I was on the phone with you, I heard that my uncle kept coughing, and she was a little worried, so I came back with her to have a look." Seeing that Liu Qing had already thrown herself into Liu Ma's arms, Yang Fan explained with a smile.
.
"Have you eaten yet?" Dad Liu asked at this time.
Yang Fan didn't show any pretense, rubbed his belly and said, "I've been driving all day and I haven't eaten yet!"
"I'm going to cook." Mother Liu pushed Liu Qing away and asked as she walked: "Why did you catch the train all day? It won't take so long to come back?"
"I didn't buy a train ticket, so I took the green train!" Yang Fan explained.
"These two children." Father Liu said and asked Yang Fan and Liu Qing to sit down.
Liu Ma had already gone to the kitchen to cook. Yang Fan curiously looked at the furnishings in the house and asked casually: "Uncle, whose house is this?"
"Haha, of course it belongs to uncle." Dad Liu said with a smile: "A few years ago, I had some savings, so I asked my elder brother in the family to approve such a homestead and build this courtyard house. I don't come back often.
, the elder brother in the family has always taken care of the house."
Yang Fan nodded and said, "This environment is really good!"
"Yeah, it's far away from the city, there's no hustle and bustle here. The air is a lot fresher." Dad Liu said, "When you leave the house and walk south, there is a small reservoir not far away. If nothing happens these days, your aunt will go fishing with me!"
Yang Fan nodded secretly when Liu Dad said this. This place is not only suitable for living. It is also suitable for the elderly! Like Liu Dad, it is really better to rest in such an environment than in the city. The only worry is
Yes, it’s a matter of medical standards here.
Not long after, Liu Ma brought a stewed fish to the table and asked Yang Fan and Liu Qing to eat first.
Dad Liu smiled and said, "I just caught this today!"
There is an essential difference between wild fish and farmed fish, and the meat texture and taste are fundamentally different. Yang Fan was full of praise for this fish.
After eating, Yang Fan wisely chose to rest. After all, after being separated for so many days, mother and daughter Liu Ma and Liu Qing must have a lot to say.
This courtyard house is much larger than the apartment Liu's father lived in Yunshan City. Yang Fan was arranged in the west bedroom, and Liu's father lived opposite. Liu's mother and Liu Qing slept in the living room.
Connected bedrooms.
A night of silence.
Although Yang Fan was very tired, he still got up early because as soon as the morning sun rose, it shined directly into the room where Yang Fan slept through the large window.
Standing at the door of Dad Liu's courtyard house, Yang Fan breathed in the fresh air. Just like what Dad Liu said, the air here is many times better than in the city.
"Young man, you look very cool, don't you?" A man who looked slightly older than Liu's father walked past Yang Fan and stepped back.
"Uncle, I'm not from this village. Of course you don't know me." Yang Fan smiled, took out a cigarette and handed one over.
"Oh!" The old man nodded, took the cigarette and lit it, pointed to Liu's father's courtyard house, and asked: "Your relative's house?"
"Yeah." Yang Fan replied and lit the cigarette.
"What kind of relatives?" The old man seemed to want to ask the question.
"Uncle, are you taking too much care?" Yang Fan said with a smile.
"Young man, I am the village chief of this village!" The old man glared and said, "I see you, a stranger, standing in front of the villagers' houses in our village. Why don't you just ask me a few words?"
"Okay, okay!" When Yang Fan heard that he was still an official, he said with a smile: "This is my father-in-law's house! Is the village chief satisfied with this answer?"
"Are you his son-in-law?" the village chief asked in shock.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Yang Fan asked.
"It's nothing," the village chief waved his hand and said, "Did you come back by yourself or with his daughter?"
"Village Chief, I can't come back even if I want to! I've never been here before, so I don't know?" The smile on Yang Fan's face did not diminish at all.
"Yes, that's true. So, his daughter is back?" the village chief asked again.
"Back." Yang Fan nodded.
"I'm going to take a look." The village chief said, strode into Liu's courtyard, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "San'er, San'er, I heard that your daughter is back?"
"Hey, big brother!" Dad Liu heard the shouting and came out to greet him. He hurriedly said: "I'm back, I'm back. I came home last night." Then, Dad Liu shouted into the room: "Qing'er, hurry up.
Come out, your uncle is here."
Liu Ma and Liu Qing also walked out at this time. When the village chief saw Liu Qing, he laughed and said, "Qing'er baby, I haven't seen you come back for how many years! These are all grown up girls. I heard they are all married?"
Do you remember uncle?"
"Remember!" Liu Qing came up to him with a smile, took the village chief's arm and said, "Uncle."
"Hey, hey." The village elder hurriedly agreed, looking at Liu Qing with a loving look on his face, and said: "You were only this tall when you went back to your hometown last time, right? Now you are as tall as my uncle!"
As he spoke, the village chief gestured to the position of his chest.
"Well, I haven't been back for many years! Fortunately, although our village has changed a lot, the location of the house has not changed." Liu Qing said, "It was easy to find the door."
"Qing'er, when did you get married?" the village chief asked with a smile.
"Marriage? No!" Liu Qing said in surprise.
The village chief looked at Liu Qing and looked at her like she was lying. Then he pointed to the door and said, "Isn't the man standing outside your man?"
"That...is my boyfriend." Liu Qing immediately knew that it was Yang Fan standing outside the door.
"What kind of boyfriend is there?" The village chief waved his hand and said, "You are the only people in the city who have a lot of new words! When are you planning to hold the wedding banquet?"
"This...these horoscopes haven't even been written yet!" Liu Ma said in a low voice, as if she was a little afraid of the village eldest brother.
"San'er, what's going on?" Hearing Liu's mother's words, the village chief became a little unhappy. He looked at Liu's father and asked, "How come Qing'er's baby has brought the family here before he has even written the eight characters?"
"No, brother! I haven't arranged a wedding for them yet! It's certain, it's certain!" Liu's father quickly explained, winking at Liu's mother.
"When will the wedding take place?" The village chief seemed to be dissatisfied with Dad Liu's attitude and asked, "What about the future generations?"
