"Stop." A majestic voice sounded, and the person who appeared was a middle-aged man wearing a pair of ordinary myopia glasses. He was wearing a shirt from the last century. His hair was half white. There were several textbooks in his hands. Although they were already
It's yellow, but still very neat.
Ying Jiashi called out in a low voice: "Dad."
Liu Feng looked at the person in front of him in great surprise. He was obviously a teacher. He didn't expect that Ying Jiashi's father, Ying Zhongtian, was actually a teacher. But thinking about it, ordinary villagers could not give such a literary name.
That Ying Zhongtian was also looking at Liu Feng, and Liu Feng respectfully called out: "Uncle."
Ying Zhongtian didn't show any change in his expression. He moved his eyes away from Liu Feng, looked at Ying Jiashi and said, "Let's go home."
Er Zhuang behind him shouted unwillingly: "Teacher Ying, we..."
"You go home first, don't talk about the rest now." Ying Zhongtian's voice was very strong, and he seemed to be very dignified in this village.
Erzhuang had no choice but to nod unwillingly and glared angrily at Liu Feng as he left.
Liu Feng followed Ying Zhongtian towards a tile-roofed house at the edge of the village. Ying Jiashi and his father did not speak a word along the way, as if there was some gap between them.
Ying Jiashi's family is not very wealthy. These days, all the men in the village go out to work. After a year of hard work, they can build a bungalow for their family. However, Ying Zhongtian did not leave this small mountain village after graduation because he could not let go here.
's children.
Oncoming was a woman, Ying Jia Shi's appearance was somewhat similar to hers, she must be Ying Jia Shi's mother, Ying Jia Shi's mother's temperament did not seem to match this village very well.
Later I learned that Ying Jiashi's mother married Ying Zhongtian after college, but Ying Zhongtian insisted on returning to his hometown, so Ying Jiashi's mother also came here, because Ying Jiashi had never seen her before.
's grandpa.
Ying Jiashi's mother looked very excited and directly took Ying Jiashi's hand and said, "Jiashi, where have you been in the past two years? Mom is worried to death and she doesn't contact us."
"Mom." Ying Jiashi cried and threw herself into her mother's arms.
"Come in, isn't it shameful enough to sit outside?" Ying Zhongtian roared slightly angrily.
Only then did Ying's mother see Liu Feng, and said with joy on her face: "Who is this?"
"Mom, this is my boyfriend." Ying Jiashi said, wiping her tears.
"Aunt, my name is Liu Feng, and I am Ying Jiashi's boyfriend. Please forgive me for coming to visit us so late." Liu Feng said politely and handed over the gift in his hand.
Mother Ying looked at Liu Feng with a happy face and said, "Okay, okay, okay! Come in quickly."
Liu Feng walked in with a smile. He had already noticed that there were people watching the scenery around him. In this small mountain village, if something happened to any family, it would quickly spread throughout the village. This is the enthusiasm of the villagers.
Liu Feng walked into Ying's house and looked around. The house was not very wealthy. It was all old furniture left over from the last century. Two small children sat at the table and kept eating bowls of rice.
The food is very light, just some pickles.
When the two children saw someone coming, they both blinked and looked at Liu Feng. The older girl was about 7 years old. When she saw Ying Jiashi, she shouted happily: "Auntie."
Another boy about 4 years old looked shyly at the adult in front of him who his sister called aunt. Liu Feng smiled and gave them all the remaining candies from his pocket.
Ying Jiashi's expression showed joy as she took the child in front of her into her arms and said, "I'm really worried about my aunt."
"Think about it." The child's voice was a little childish and very cute.
Ying Zhongtian still looked cold. He took out a few scattered pieces of money from his arms and threw them to Ying's mother and said: "Go buy some wine, and bring back some peanuts by the way, and ask Xinxin's mother to give the chickens at home to
Kill."
Mother Ying took the money and took out a clean stool, wiped it repeatedly and handed it over and said, "Sit down quickly, I'll get some side dishes."
"Auntie, there's no need to be busy. Just have something to fill your stomach."
"How can I, this is the first time you come to our house, how can I let you eat whatever you want?" Ying's mother said with a smile, seeming to be very satisfied with this uncle.
Seeing her mother leaving, Ying Jiashi shouted: "Dad, I..."
"Come back as soon as you come back. Maybe I'm wrong. You young people now belong to the outside world. Forcing you to stay in such a mountain village will only make you unhappy." Ying Zhongtian's tone was obviously not as harsh and dull as before.
A kind look flashed in Guang's eyes.
Ying Jiashi wiped her red eyes and said, "Dad, I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I'm just afraid that if my old bones are no longer used, I will fall on this table one day and have no one to take over, which will hurt the children in the village." Ying Zhongtian said helplessly.
Liu Feng understood from their words that Ying Zhongtian probably wanted his daughter to stay in the mountain village and take over his position to teach. Ying Jiashi, who was accustomed to city life, would definitely not be willing.
"Jia Shi is back?" The woman who spoke was a young woman, she should be Ying Jiashi's sister-in-law.
"Sister-in-law." Ying Jiashi called with a smile, and then introduced Liu Feng to her sister-in-law.
Under the enthusiasm of the Ying family, Liu Feng and Ying Zhongtian had a few drinks. Ying Zhongtian also liked his prospective son-in-law more and more, smiling from time to time.
Ying Jiashi's brother Ying Fei could not bear the poverty in this mountain village and went to work in the city at the beginning of the year. Ying Zhongtian did not stop him because he knew that he would not be able to get enough to eat by sticking to this mountain.
Just after eating, there was a commotion outside, and a loud voice shouted: "Lao Ying, Lao Ying."
Ying Zhongtian knew that the village chief was coming, so he hurried out and said with a smile: "Village Chief Huang, what can I do?"
Hearing this voice, Ying Jiashi's face showed anger, and Liu Feng asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"Not that Er Zhuang, this yellow Ergou is Er Zhuang's father. He usually bullies others and is the tyrant in the village." Ying Jiashi said angrily.
"Lao Ying, I heard that your Jia Shi is back. Let's not wait any longer and get married tomorrow." The voice outside was domineering and overbearing.
"Village Chief Huang, it's time to move on, and this baby girl is no longer with us."
"It doesn't matter, I paid the betrothal gift back then, you can't default on it." Village Chief Huang became angry when he heard that he was going to regret the marriage.
"Village Chief Huang, when did you ever pay a betrothal gift?" Ying Zhongtian, who is also a sweet-tempered person, said angrily.
"Okay, Ying Shujiang, do you dare to renege on the debt? I didn't take 0 yuan from me in your name to buy rice for everyone. Now you can't renege on the debt."
Liu Feng strode out after hearing this. Village Chief Huang outside looked like a rogue.
Ying Zhongtian was also very angry: "That was the life-saving money given by the superiors back then. Why did you become your bastard?"
"I said it's my money, it's my money. If you want to regret the marriage, just pay it back." Village Chief Huang is indeed a bully in this village.
The surrounding villagers came up and helped Ying Zhongtian speak. When Village Chief Huang saw that no one was on his side, he immediately roared: "Don't you want next month's subsidy?"
Just one word to calm down the surroundings. After all, we all live off the ground, so just endure it if you can.
Village Chief Huang said with a arrogant look: "See, I have the final say in this Stone Village."
