The architectural style of Luo's old house is the same as that of Lu's house in Dongyang, a typical Jiangnan residential style, but the scale is much smaller than that of Lu's house, with a total area of only about three to four thousand square meters.
Outside the main entrance is a large archway. After passing the archway, there is a short and wide alley. At the end of the alley is the main entrance of the Luo family's old house. In front of the main entrance, there are two majestic lions. The steps are quite high, and the threshold on the steps is
Also very high.
The threshold represents a kind of identity.
In ancient times, the higher the threshold, the higher the social status of the owner of the household, and the threshold had to be crossed and not stepped on.
The front door and the side door of a large family are related to the visiting guests. Only when the high-status and distinguished people come, the front door is opened to greet them and enter and exit the main door. Ordinary people have to use the side door, and the main door is not open at ordinary times.
Today, the front door of the Luo family's old house is not open.
Normally, the front door of the old house is not often open, but today the front door is closed and the side door is also closed, which means that the owner who lives here does not welcome guests to visit.
A row of luxury cars parked on the grain drying field and attracted the attention of nearby villagers.
The weather is very cold in winter, but the sun is quite nice today. There is no wind here, and many people are hiding in the corners to bask in the sun.
After seeing so many luxury cars parked, the villagers who were chatting about their daily activities all stopped and looked over curiously.
After Luo Ziling got out of the car, he quickly ran to the Bentley, opened the door, and helped his grandfather Luo Liansheng get out of the car.
Wang Qing had already opened the other door, and Ouyang Feifei, who was dressed very beautifully, got out of the car.
Yang Qingyin and several others also got out of the car.
After Luo Linsheng got out of the car, he broke away from Luo Ziling's hand and stood beside the car, staring blankly at the familiar things in front of him.
The village has changed a lot, but not much has changed near the old house.
The archway from hundreds of years ago and the old house at the end of the alley are still the same as in the dream, as if they have not changed at all.
In the past, there were people sunbathing around the houses near the archway in winter.
However, the sunbathing house and the grain drying field in front of it have changed drastically.
Luo Liansheng stood there and watched quietly. Luo Ziling didn't say anything, and stood with him beside the car watching everything in front of him.
Those basking in the sun also looked at them curiously.
These people are unusually popular, and the cars they ride in are all luxury cars, so they naturally think that these people have unusual identities.
After Luo Liansheng watched quietly for a while, he did not immediately walk into the alley inside the archway, but walked towards the group of people sunbathing.
Most of the people sunbathing are middle-aged and elderly people.
After seeing Luo Linsheng walking towards the group of people sunbathing, Luo Ziling immediately understood what he meant and followed him.
When Luo Liansheng walked about ten meters away from those people, he stopped and looked at them with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Hey, isn't this the boss of the Luo family?" an old man's voice rang out from the crowd, "Boss Luo, Liansheng, is that you?"
Luo Liansheng didn't expect that someone in the village would recognize him. He couldn't help but be surprised. After staring at the old man who spoke for a while, he finally smiled: "Are you Yunsheng? Lou Yunsheng?"
"Haha, it's really Lian Sheng who's back." The man named Lou Yunsheng saw that he was right. Luo Liansheng also recognized him and immediately walked out of the crowd and greeted him with a laugh, "You left home like this
After so many years, are you finally willing to come back?"
"When you are old, fallen leaves will always come back when they return to their roots." Luo Liansheng stretched out his hand, shook hands with Lou Yunsheng vigorously, and then patted the other party's shoulder hard, "I haven't seen you for more than 20 years. I never thought I would see you again."
, Haha, you’re not old!”
"You are not old at all," Lou Yunsheng also patted Luo Liansheng on the shoulder and smiled happily, "You are three years older than me. Unexpectedly, you look much younger than me now. I really belong to you."
The two of them spoke in Yuezhou dialect, and among the people who came together, except Luo Ziling, no one else could understand them well.
Luo Ziling grew up with Luo Liansheng since he was a child. When Luo Ziling was a child, he first learned the Yuezhou dialect and then Mandarin.
Usually, when he and his grandfather are alone together, they always communicate in dialect.
The local accent sounds the friendliest, at least in Luo Liansheng's heart he definitely thinks so.
"The local pronunciation has not changed, the hair on the temples has faded," this poem can be applied to Luo Liansheng.
"I feel more timid when I'm close to home", which is actually a reflection of his heart today.
However, when he saw familiar scenes and his childhood playmates, his uneasy feeling disappeared in an instant, and deep warmth filled his heart.
Upon hearing that Luo Liansheng was back, everyone who knew him gathered around.
The youngest one who gathered here to bask in the sun today is over 40 years old.
Luo Liansheng has not returned home in the past twenty years. He came back often before, so older people all know him.
After all, the Luo family is the most prominent family in Loujia Village, and the Luo family's house is the largest and oldest.
Although the glory is gone now, in the hearts of these older people, the status is still extraordinary.
And because Luo Liansheng was very capable and could be said to be the most prestigious person in the village, everyone was very excited when he appeared in front of the villagers.
Luo Ziling couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw his grandfather and the villagers talking to each other affectionately, with his old face glowing red and looking very excited.
He somewhat understood his grandfather's intention of returning to Yuezhou for a visit.
Here are all his fellow villagers, many of whom he grew up with.
When people get old, they miss their hometown and go back to the place where they grew up. This is human nature.
Listening to the neighbors surrounding his grandpa, chattering homely things in the Yuezhou dialect, and his grandpa changing his usual arrogance and talking and laughing with them, Luo Ziling actually had the urge to cry.
Just as Luo Ziling was also getting emotional, the corner of his clothes was gently pulled.
When I looked back, it was Ouyang Feifei.
"Ziling, I asked Wang Qing to prepare some gifts. How about distributing them now?" Ouyang Feifei said a little embarrassed: "I can't understand a word they are talking about. Can you understand?"
"Of course I understand," Luo Ziling smiled and asked Ouyang Feifei curiously, "What gifts have you prepared?"
"Last night I asked Wang Qing to prepare five hundred gold necklaces as gifts for your grandfather to give to the folks. I just don't know if they are enough." Ouyang Feifei looked at Luo Ziling with clear eyes, "How about we distribute them together?
Bar!"
Yang Qingyin, who was standing aside, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard that Ouyang Feifei had actually prepared gifts for the villagers.
She didn't expect that Ouyang Feifei could think of this.
Instantly, I felt a sense of frustration and a deep sense of crisis.
Ouyang Feifei is much more experienced than her in doing things.
