Chapter 541 The room is full of laughter
The news that the youngest daughter of the Dong family got married quickly spread in Guicheng circles.
Especially when it was revealed that the married partner was the Yan family in Beijing, the Dong family, which was ridiculed by countless people behind their backs, suddenly became lively.
There is an endless stream of people coming to the door every day.
Dong Wangshu and Yanxi rushed back to Taoxi Village with Mr. Fu, Zhang Xifeng and the others in order to hide away.
The sun in the winter morning is cold, and it falls without heat. Even the night dew stained on the dead grass on the roadside is unable to evaporate. One by one, it condenses on the dead leaves and grass paths, trembling and forming frost.
Two cars stopped at the entrance of the village one after the other.
The car door opened, the young man got out of the car first, then quickly opened the rear door, and helped the older man down.
The winter air, inhaled into the nasal cavity is cold, with a little water vapor.
There are many small potholes on the cement floor in the past year, and the yellow leaves of the jujube trees planted on both sides are falling, laying a layer of depression on the ground.
Looking around, all you can see is the rice field with only a stubble left after harvest, and the melon field with the yellow-brown soil exposed.
Not far away, there is the gurgling sound of the river, and the rhythmic sound of the village women beating their clothes with sticks and hammers, accompanied by high-pitched chatter and laughter from time to time.
River water, land, dead trees and rotting leaves, all kinds of smells are mixed in the air. It's not a pleasant smell, but it's kind enough to make you want to cry.
The soles of his feet were firmly on the ground, walking forward step by step, Zhang Xifeng quietly blushed.
Even Mr. Fu and others were also filled with emotion.
When I left, I really thought that I would never come back in this life.
When people are older, they actually care more about returning to their roots, and it is difficult to leave their homeland.
"Aunt, aunt?! Mr. Fu?! Brother Yanhuai! Sister-in-law! Xiaofu, Yueyue! Xiaoxi, Xiaodong!"
While everyone was feeling emotional, a figure walked by the river.
Armed with trouser legs, carrying a **** and dung dustpan.
When he saw a group of people, he suddenly cried out in shock, and read out everyone's names one by one.
Finally, the figure threw the **** and ran this way.
The gray-haired, dark-faced old man ran on the river ridge like flying, with steady steps.
Because of his growling, the beating of washing clothes by the riverside also disappeared.
Immediately after the big stone steps by the river, countless figures stood up in an instant. After recognizing the people wandering at the entrance of the village from a distance, they rushed towards this side with tight feet.
"Aunt Zhang is back! Hey, hey, I've been away for a few years, and I'm finally back!"
"Hurry up! The fast-footed youngster hurry up and notify the old village head's house, and then call everyone in the village!"
"By the way, remember to get the key to Aunt Zhang's house from the old village chief! He has the key in his hand, and when others come back, they can't enter the house!"
"Big sister, Brother Fu, you're finally back!"
Zhang Xifeng had already recognized the man with Hua's black face when he uttered his voice, "Oh, it's Jianhe, it's Jianhe! Run slower, don't look at how old you are, and think it's What about when you were young?"
Looking at the women rushing over by the riverside, Zhang Xifeng smiled, with tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, and shouted out these old sisters with a choked voice, "Grandma Xi, sister-in-law three, little aunt of the Li family...everyone is alive and well, okay, OK!"
The women running over heard her words and laughed loudly. "His Aunt Zhang, everyone is still alive, not one of them is missing! Hahaha!"
"I'm afraid you didn't know it in the past few years. Our village is more famous than before. There is an additional name called Longevity Village. All the old guys in the village live long lives. The oldest old village chief and the others, He is almost 90 years old, and he is as majestic as he was when he was young when he scolded people!"
When Chen Jianhe and the women ran over, a huge group of people gathered on the stone bridge at the entrance of the village.
On this early winter morning, Taoxi Village was extremely lively.
The noisy voice broke the usual desertedness in the morning.
Entering the village from the entrance of the village, walking through the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar path, and standing in front of the gate of the fenced courtyard, Zhang Xifeng burst into tears again.
Even Song Yueliang's usually cold temper, the corners of his eyes turned red quietly.
After they left, the time and space here have been separated by nearly 4 years.
But the fenced courtyard has not changed at all, it is still the same as before.
The fence is firmly tied, with a little moss growing on the bottom.
The loquat tree in the corner of the courtyard has denser branches and thicker rhizomes.
The courtyard inside has been swept clean, and firewood is stacked neatly outside the stove.
The pigsty opposite the stove room was also cleaned extremely clean, without any peculiar smell.
Walking around in the yard, I couldn’t find a single spider web, as if there were people living here all the time, and the smell of fireworks was everywhere, which made people who returned home feel delusional, as if they had never left.
The old village head and his wife Luo Yuqiong rushed over, followed by Li San and his wife. They were worried that the two old people would fall when they walked, and they supported each other tightly.
The old village head who was too impatient just like this, he was disgusted, and he yelled at his old son to get in the way, "I said I can walk by myself, so why should I help? With your support like this, my walking will be slower!"
Li San wiped his face, he didn't dare to fart, what could his father scold him for? Talk back to the old man and you'll have to whip him.
Luo Yuqiong didn't calm down too much, took the key from his wife and opened the door to Zhang Xixiaofeng and the others, "When you left quietly, you didn't say a word, everyone felt very uncomfortable. When we miss you, a group of us old guys will often come over to sit and have a look, and clean the inside and outside of the house by the way. After a long time, it has become a habit to walk around in the small courtyard when we have time It’s just right now that you’re back, and you don’t need to clean it yourself, it’s all clean. I wiped the tables and stools in the house yesterday, and the mosquito nets, bedding, and sheets in your room were cleaned by the women in the village two days ago. Taking advantage of the good weather, all of them have been washed and dried in the sun, and they can be used after taking them out.”
"Hua Zinai, big guy, you all have a heart." Zhang Xifeng wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile, "It's all from my own family, I won't tell you the thank you, the big guys are all in the small courtyard tonight Let’s have a meal, I haven’t chatted with you for several years, so I’m saving my energy.”
The second uncle and Gou Cuanai squeezed over and gave her a white look, "Needless to say, this small courtyard of yours today, you don't want to be quiet!"
Chen Jianhe was blocked by a group of old women, unable to get in by rushing from left to right.
After yelling at the entrance of the village, he couldn't get a word with his aunt, so anxious, he yelled again later, "Aunt! Aunt! I made the food for the family tonight, and it happened that Heizi was in the county. There is a meeting here, I will call him right away and ask him to bring food when he comes back!"
"It seems that your son-in-law is easy to use. There is no one in our family? What a big deal to buy vegetables? Let the third son ride a motorcycle to the town, one hour back and forth is enough!"
"You can't drive a motorcycle, you can drive a tricycle, the back of the car can be loaded! He, Aunt Zhang, don't bother with Jian and that old boy, he won't be happy if he doesn't show off his good son-in-law for a day now!"
Neighbors in the village, you talk to me. In the small fenced courtyard, the sky was full of noise and laughter filled the room.
