It takes two hours by plane from the city of S to Jiang Mingyuan's hometown. They set off for lunch, got off at 4 pm, and transferred from the airport. It was already half past five.

This is a small town backed by tourism, and its economy is quite developed.

After walking through a stone-paved street market, and then crossing a river, they reached where they lived.

The houses in this piece are all a few years old, with white walls and gray tiles, a small river flowing in front of the door, the river clear and bottoming, sparkling in the sun.

"The front is here." Jiang Mingyuan dragged a suitcase with one hand, walked down the bridge to lower the box, stretched out Cheng Huan behind him, bent over and hugged the stars, and pointed at a house not far away.

That house did not look much different from the surrounding houses. It was a two-storey small building next to the river. A fence was built around it. Several evergreen trees protruded a few branches from the wall. It looked interesting.

Walked out of the courtyard wall, pushed open the carved iron door, and entered the lively front yard. Obviously, the yard was often taken care of, and it was still green in winter.

There is a small path in the middle of the yard. Jiang Mingyuan walked in the front, passed through the front yard, found a bunch of keys in the flowerpot outside the door, and came forward to open the door.

The house looks quaint from the outside, but the interior is well decorated, the living room has a lot of space, and the furniture is made of mahogany. When you look at it, you know that it is expensive. Jiang Mingyuan put his luggage in the living room and took the mother and son upstairs to visit.

Like an apartment, there are not many rooms in this house. There is only one master bedroom, one secondary bedroom, one guest bedroom and one study. The master bedroom was the place where Jiang ’s mother Jiang lived. This year, Jiang ’s mother did n’t come and the room was empty. Jiang Mingyuan was not ready to move in. He went straight ahead and opened the door of the second bedroom.

It is a second bedroom, in fact, the room area is also large. A set of tables and chairs made of Huanghuali are placed next to the door, separated by a screen, and the screen is bypassed. There are various types of human figures or auspicious wood carvings on the bed's veil, painted with gold lacquer, looking at some years.

Except for Jiang Mingyuan, the other two people saw this kind of bed for the first time. When they saw them curious, the man said something.

It really is an antique, passed down from the Qing Dynasty.

Cheng Huan froze, feeling that she would definitely be insomnia when sleeping on this antique bed. She was okay, fortunately, this was Jiang Mingyuan's room, so she didn't need this temptation.

As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard the man say, "This is the bed in this house. If you don't like it, I'll ask someone to change it."

When Jiang Mu was at home, she didn't like these beds very much, saying they were "feudal dross", and asked for replacements several times, otherwise she would not come back to live.

Jiang Mingyuan used to arrange for people to replace the bed in the master bedroom every year, and change things back after they left. This time, he also prepared the things, as long as Cheng Huan said he didn't like it, he could change it immediately.

Cheng Huan's face changed: "Same as you?"

"almost."

After he finished speaking, he took someone to visit the guest bedroom.

The guest bedroom is a bit smaller than the second bedroom, and it is similar in configuration. The pattern on the Bishaya is different. This carving is allusions such as the blessings of the heavenly officials, the street tour of the champion, and the unicorn to send children. The horse's fur on the horse can be seen clearly.

Cheng Huan has refused to think about how much this thing is worth, fearing that she will be rich, and she looked away from those woodcarvings, but didn't say she wanted to change.

The door is not wide enough, and you must remove it if you want to move it out. It's all old things.

And, although sleeping, you will feel stress, but Cheng Huan has to admit that this bed is really beautiful! Beautifully made her reluctant to look away!

She touched the woodcarp with her fingertips, and turned to the person behind her, saying, "No need to change, this thing is fine."

Jiang Mingyuan said happily.

He lived here when he was very young. Everything in the house was a witness to his growth. Cheng Huan was able to like these things to surprise him, as if the distance between the two people was closer.

Looking at the room, a few people went downstairs to get their luggage and were ready to hang their clothes. As soon as I got down the stairs, I heard someone shouting outside the door.

"I'll go and see."

"Go, this box is not too heavy."

Cheng Huan took a suitcase to go upstairs, finished hanging his clothes down, and saw two more people in the house.

It was a middle-aged man and woman who looked in their forties and turned around when they heard the sound of going downstairs. One of the women smiled at Jiang Mingyuan and asked, "Is this brother or sister?"

Jiang Mingyuan nodded with a smile, came forward and took her hand to introduce Cheng Huan: "This is the four cousins ​​and cousins."

Jiang had a lot of family members and complicated relatives. Jiang Mingyuan told her some of them before coming, including these two.

These four cousins ​​and cousins ​​are the eldest sons of the second son of the grandfather's family. They are also now doing business and doing some foreign trade business. The scale is not particularly large.

They came back earlier, and this time they came to tell them to eat, and said that Grandpa knew they were back and wanted to see him.

"How?" Jiang Mingyuan took Cheng Huan to sit down on the chair, whispered to his ear, "If I don't want to go, I will refuse."

"Go on." Cheng Huan nodded without thinking long. Anyway, I ’m here, I have to go to see the elders sooner or later, it ’s boring to drag.

She promised to come down, Jiang Mingyuan was relieved. He said to the two of them a moment, and went upstairs to tell the stars to come down.

The star was still rolling on the huge bed on the second bed, her hair was messy, and he was not willing to walk on the stairs led by his father, but had to jump on the stairs.

Jiang Mingyuan held his hand tightly, for fear that the little one would step on the stairs without paying attention, and walked down the stairs fearlessly. The man brought his son to the cousin and the couple, and made the stars call.

The stars aren't afraid. They will be called when they are called, and they will be accompanied by a sweet smile.

Although some people said that Jiang Mingyuan came back with a woman and a child before he came, it is estimated to be his wife and children, but neither of them had expected that this child would be so old!

Their sights veiled vaguely between Jiang Mingyuan and Cheng Huan, and with a smile on their faces, they took out a meeting gift from the pocket and gave it to the stars.

The cousin with some beer belly touched his bald head and smiled and said to Jiang Mingyuan: "In the past, we were all worried that you could not find anyone. I didn't expect that in the end, you would move fast. My son is so old."

Jiang Mingyuan held the stars, smiled at the woman on the other side, and turned back to his cousin and said, "I was also surprised."

"By the way, you haven't gotten a wedding yet, when are you going to do it?" Everyone brought it back, stating that his cousin was identified, and Jiang Mingzhou didn't take care of it when he asked questions. "Marriage is a big deal, and the wedding has to be lively."

"Sure."

"So is the wedding time set?"

"Not yet." Jiang Mingyuan reached out and pulled Cheng Huan's hands together, "We are still discussing."

Cheng Huan kept a smile on his face, and secretly squeezed the man's fingertips, motioning him not to talk nonsense.

The man pulled his finger out, holding his fingertips tightly across the palm of his hand to keep her fingers from messing up.

The cousin on the other side did not notice the two little movements at all, and was still thinking about his cousin's life-long events. He nodded as he felt his stomach hurt.

Jiang Mingyuan echoed: "I feel the same way."

...

Several people didn't talk for too long. After all, it wasn't too late. Jiang Mingyuan took out the gifts that had been prepared and took his wife, children and cousin to the grandfather.

Grandpa's house is much bigger than Jiang Mingyuan's. There are five or six houses strewn in the courtyard. There are many houses and a large population. There are a total of five children, a dozen grandchildren, and a similar number of great grandchildren.

When they passed, they first went to see the grandfather, the old man owning a house, with a nurse and a doctor. The three came all the way, and someone kept saying hello to Jiang Mingyuan. Cheng Huan walked beside him and could feel the eyes of those people staring back without looking back.

Jiang Mingyuan held Cheng Huan's hand calmly and whispered, "Don't worry about them."

"I know." Cheng Huan shook back.

The place where the father lived was quite quiet. There was a small independent yard outside the house. There were several bird cages hanging under the eaves, and various parrots were kept inside. As soon as Jiang Mingyuan approached, a large parrot next to the door pulled his throat and shouted, "The old man is looking for you!"

This sudden startled Cheng Huan and Xing Xing. Xing Xing looked around in surprise, but couldn't find anyone who spoke. He secretly leaned on his mother and whispered, "Mom, there are invisible people here. "

After he had finished speaking, the bird grinned again, scaring the stars closer.

Although Cheng Huan hasn't raised a parrot, she also knows that some breeds of parrots can talk. She followed her voice to find the green bean of the big parrot. The parrot looked at her with a tilted head and greeted her. :"Hello beauty."

Cheng Huan: "..."

"This parrot is more lively, don't care about it." The parrot lived for a long time, and this bird was there when Jiang Mingyuan was not born. He smiled helplessly at Cheng Huan, and then dragged the stars to tell him that he was not an invisible person, but a parrot was talking, so he didn't have to be afraid.

For the first time, Xingxing knew that the parrot could still speak. Curiosity suddenly rose. He looked up at the parrot under the porch and thought for a long time and said, "Hello."

Parrot: "Who are you?"

Seeing that it can really communicate with himself, the star is even more excited. He trot over to introduce himself to the parrot, and after talking about it, the parrot still asked, "Who are you?"

"Well, Xingxing will come back to play with him later, now we will go to see Grandpa, OK?"

"Okay." Xing Xing nodded after considering, took his father's hand, and waved goodbye to the parrot, so he couldn't bear to follow his parents into the house.

The old man was old, and it was inconvenient to go up and down the stairs. Most of the time he stayed in his own room. Jiang Mingyuan took his wife and children to the master bedroom to see him. When he knocked on the door, a voice came in to let him in.

"Is it Mingyuan? Come in quickly. I heard Dongdong call and I knew you were coming." The voice was old but not weak. The person who wanted to talk was in good health. Jiang Mingyuan looked relaxed and pushed in the door to put things in On the table, he laughed at the old man in front and yelled at Grandpa.

After calling, he introduced the people around him: "This is my girlfriend Cheng Huan. This is our child Jiang Xingchen. He will be five years old in the New Year."

After he introduced him, Cheng Huan also called Grandpa along with him, and the stars were so confused for a moment, but was slapted by the mother, and then he remembered and changed his mouth: "Grandpa is good."
