By the time Jiang Li's fire arrived at the small grain farm in front of the village, the entrance to the village was already bustling with activity. There were old people greeting children, and there were children scurrying in and out of the crowd, showing off their fathers or uncles to their friends.
How impressive is the car that uncle drove?
Or their hands, pockets, or mouths are filled with delicious candies handed over by the elders who have returned from a long journey. They are laughing and making noise. On this early spring night, the fire is so loud that it makes people laugh.
I almost suspected that it was a summer night, and everyone was enjoying the coolness in the barn.
The barn was almost full, but Jiang Li ignored it and drove directly in. When he reached a slope, Li Huo exerted his strength and stopped firmly at the edge of the barn, which was two feet higher.
On the small earthen platform, this small earthen platform was originally used for those children to watch the millet in summer and autumn and not to feed the birds.
There is a place to play while eating. It is also specially set up for the people in the village to have a gathering place during their leisure time. It happens to be connected to the village road on one side of the platform. This road is uninhabited.
Anyone who dares to block, Jiang Li's fierce fire will stop there so firmly that no one can block his way.
"Pfft!" Zhuo Yue was startled by the force of the fire at first. When he saw clearly the situation around the car and the adults and children who were staring at the fire with their mouths open, he laughed: "You are so naughty with your child.
No wonder I used to steal people’s food.”
"What's the big deal? It's not stealing." Jiang Li grinned and was very satisfied with the expressions of the adults and children in the village. It wasn't that he wanted to show off, but that he was concerned about his parents' face. Rural people are relatively simple-minded.
, Whoever has money will have face, and whoever has power will have face. People in the village are idle and always like to talk about whether the east is long and the west is short, whose children are promising, and whose children are doing well.
It's terrible. Wait, Jiang Li went home a few years ago, and his parents didn't say anything, but Jiang Li could tell that they really hoped that Jiang Li would make them feel proud in front of the villagers. Now they have this opportunity
, Jiang Li naturally did his part, because he had already seen his somewhat stooped parents standing silently behind the smiling villagers under the dim street lights.
When Jiang Li emerged from the fire, a murmur suddenly sounded in the small grain field: [
"Whose child is this? Why does he look so familiar?"
"Yes, yes, oh, look, the little bride who got out of the car is so pretty, with big eyes, and she can talk."
"Are you all confused? This is the child of Lao Jiangtou's family in the east of the village. Tsk tsk, we haven't seen each other for a year. She is much fairer and more elegant. She has found a bride from a rich family, right?" There was a hint of emotion in this voice.
A little acid came out.
"Yeah, it's true. Hey, Old Suntou, I won't let you talk about people like that. It's their ability to find a bride from a rich family. Ali is the first college student in our village. He didn't do well in the past few years.
Land, but people are well-educated and have a foundation. It's like building a house. If the foundation is solid, you can build as high a building as you want. Tsk, tsk, this kid has a future, and Lao Jiangtou can enjoy the blessings.
"
"Really? Look at this car, how expensive is it? I know this car is an off-road vehicle. I heard it was called Tiger. Last year I went to the provincial capital to play, and my boy pointed it out to me.
The cheapest one costs more than 300,000 yuan, and this car can go on any road that a tractor can go on."
"Dad, that's called Land Rover, not Tiger. Look at your memory... Ali! Ali, is it you?" A young man's voice picked up and shouted to Jiang Li loudly.
Jiang Lichong waved his hand over there: "Sanzai, I'll be home to play tomorrow. I don't have time to chat with you today." He pulled Zhuo Yue and jumped off the platform, and ran towards his parents on the edge of the grain field.
"Dad, Mom, why aren't you sleeping? It's so cold. Why don't I just ask you to leave a door for me?" Jiang Li blamed, pulled Zhuo Yue over and hugged her waist generously: "
This is your future daughter-in-law, named Zhuo Yue."
Then he said to Zhuo Yue: "This is my father, this is my mother."
Then I heard a head peeking out from behind my parents. He had short hair and looked like a boy, but his face was white and tender, like a girl. He timidly said: "Uncle, there is me."
"You clever guy." Jiang Li hugged the little guy's head, shouted, picked up the little guy, threw it into the air, and then caught it, making the little guy giggle with joy.
After Jiang Li put the little guy down, he said to Zhuo Yue: "This is my eldest brother's house. My name is Jiang Ting. Even though she looks like a boy, she is actually a girl. She has been a child since she was a child. She goes to the house to uncover the tiles.
There’s no way you can go up a tree and dig out bird eggs.”
Mr. Zhuo Yue shouted to Jiang Li's parents in a crisp voice: "Hello, uncle and aunt." Then he knelt down, took out a bag of chocolates from his windbreaker pocket, handed it to Xiao Jiang Ting's hand, and touched her hand.
Head: "Auntie came in a hurry and didn't prepare any good gifts. This is for you."
Xiao Jiang Ting took the chocolate, cheered, picked up her toes, and said "Boom!" to Zhuo Yue's face. Then she said happily: "Thank you, auntie." She quickly ran to show off to her friends.
Just now, many friends brought candies given by their elders to show off in front of her. She had been holding back her energy for a long time. Now, hum, let you see, what my aunt gave me is chocolate, which is better than yours.
All are much more delicious.
Jiang Li's parents just looked at Jiang Li and didn't say anything. It took a long time before they managed to say: "It'll be good to come back. It'll be good to come back."
Zhuo Yue stood for a while and gradually felt a little cold, so he naturally stood close to Jiang Li and put his hands under Jiang Li's armpits to keep warm. This scene was seen by Jiang Li's parents and they looked at each other.
Looking at Jiang Li and nodding, Jiang Li's mother said: "My dear, are you cold? Go back to the house. Your Uncle Jiang has been lighting the brazier since evening. He has changed several pots of charcoal now. Is it necessary to go back to the house?"
If you want to take a shower, the water heater will already be on."
"Mom, where is my eldest brother?" Jiang Li glanced around and didn't see his cousin, so he asked. Jiang Li's uncle and aunt died two years ago, and his cousin was the only one left.
Jiang Li was far away from home, so his cousin simply separated his home from Jiang Li's.
The houses of the two families are merged together. Anyway, the houses of the two families are next to each other. In this way, Jiang Li's parents help take care of little Jiang Ting, while the cousin and his wife can take care of the two old people, which can be regarded as helping each other.
He was helped, so Jiang Li always called him eldest brother directly.
"He said he went to the countryside to discuss road construction. He will stay in the countryside tonight and won't come back until tomorrow." Jiang Li's father smiled honestly, took the words, and turned to the barn and shouted:
"Ting Ting, come home." This shout was full of energy.
"Your dad is actually not old. Listen to this voice, he is very energetic. Why do everyone call him that?" Zhuo Yue also heard the discussion in the barn and asked Jiang Li in a low voice.[
"Shh! My dad's ears are very good." Jiang Li quickly made a gesture, whispered something in Zhuo Yue's ear, and then asked strangely: "No, you are blushing?"
Zhuo Yue rolled his eyes and secretly wondered: Do you want me to breathe like this in your ears? But he couldn't help but hope that Jiang Li could breathe like this a few more times. It was itchy and numb all the way from the base of his ears.
When it reaches the chest, it feels very comfortable.
In the distance, Xiao Jiang Ting responded crisply and ran over, followed by a long string of little tails. However, the price was also high. All that was left of the bag of chocolates that Zhuo Yue gave her was more than a kilogram.
It's a small half bag. Fortunately, these are packed one by one. If it was the unfortunate plate-shaped one, it would probably be gone long ago.
"Auntie, the chocolate you gave Ting Ting was so delicious. Look, there's only so much left." Little Jiang Ting is just a familiar person. She's not like other little girls in the same village, who will react to strangers.
Her identity could be seen from the fact that she dared to call Zhuo Yue aunt as soon as she opened her mouth. Zhuo Yue blushed and was upset when she called her. He stretched out his hand and picked up Xiao Jiang Ting to cover up his face, and then reached out to reach for it.
Jiang Li took out his car keys from his pocket.
"You don't need a key, it will open by itself as soon as you go there." Jiang Li chuckled: "Have you forgotten about the central locking system?"
"Who forgot? I just didn't think of it for a moment." Zhuo Yue was so embarrassed that Jiang Li was making fun of himself for being so flustered. He even forgot about the most common central lock, hugged Xiao Jiang Ting and ran away.
Already.
The two of them were laughing and joking here, and Jiang Li's parents, who were walking in front, nodded happily. They were really relieved now that the girlfriend their son brought back was really his girlfriend, not Erlangzi's two years ago.
Same thing, bring a fake one back to fool the adults.
"Dad, Mom, it's cold, you go back to sleep first, I'll wait for Zhuo Yue." Jiang Li persuaded when he saw his parents stopped to wait for him and Zhuo Yue.
"No rush, no rush, it only takes two or three minutes." Jiang Li's mother stared lovingly at Zhuo Yue in the distance, and then patted Jiang Li: "You stinky boy, you don't even go to help, just
Let Zhuo Yue carry so many things by himself?"
"What are you afraid of? She's very strong. This little thing won't stop her." Jiang Li smiled and said, but he quickly stepped forward and took little Jiang Ting from Zhuo Yue's arms.
He stretched out his hand and touched her forehead, "Little naughty boy, you are not afraid of tiring your little aunt. She is such an adult and you still have to hug her."
Xiao Jiang Ting held a lot of food in her arms and laughed: "Uncle, look, my aunt brought me so many delicious foods. I saw them all, and there are many more in the car. Uncle, we
Let’s discuss it. Can you hide the food for me tomorrow? I will eat it slowly, over a month, no, ten days.”
"Aren't you afraid of holding on? Your brother-in-law can't finish it in ten days, and you still want to finish it in ten days?" Jiang Li smiled bitterly, and Zhuo Yue, who was carrying two large bags of things, also pursed his lips in joy after hearing this.
