There are twenty or thirty villages near Lujing Town, with a total population of more than 100,000. It is a large town with a large population.

The Chinese New Year is approaching, and today is the market day that happens every two days. The streets are bustling with people.

But the market in their town occupies a small area. There are only three streets several hundred meters long and more than ten meters wide. On both sides of the streets are buildings five meters wide and eighteen meters long. The households are lined up next to each other, and the first floor can be used as a shop.

.

Mu Yang drove the Mercedes-Benz G500 slowly into the town streets. The Jiangnan Province car brand, domineering body, and AM666Y serial number plate still attracted the attention of the villagers on the street.

Song Xuelu brought a lot of luggage home and needed to drive the car to her door.

After arriving home, the two knew that they could not hide their relationship. Unless Song Xuelu didn't use it during the holidays, her parents would always ask her where to get a laptop worth tens of thousands of yuan, a mobile phone worth several thousand yuan, and accessories.

With money to buy these items, Song Xuelu couldn't hide it from her shrewd parents with her honest temper.

However, she didn't want to hide it, as long as her parents knew about it.

Being timid about being close to home, Song Xuelu wanted to go home more than Mu Yang and was more excited.

This was her first time out of the province and she often missed home, but Mu Yang was already used to being in another province.

Song Xuelu looked at the bustling city outside the car through the car window with joy: "Yangyang, how does it feel to return home in fine clothes? Hehe."

"To be honest, it's nothing special." Mu Yang never had this idea before returning to his hometown.

When Xuelu asked, his mind recalled his past life.

Most people want to perform well and return to their hometown.

Because there seem to be many pairs of eyes in my hometown, watching my performance over the years.

When Mu Yang just graduated from his previous life, he would have thought the same way. He must stand out and make a name for himself, and he could not be looked down upon by others when he returned home. Otherwise, his parents would also be looked down upon by others.

In my previous life, I bought a car in 2014 and drove it home with my wife during the Chinese New Year. I felt a little bit vanity in the first year or two. At that time, there were not many cars in the village. I always felt a bit superior having a car during the Chinese New Year.

People in the village would ask him how much his salary was outside, how he was living, and where he bought a house.

Later, my income gradually increased, and I finally managed to make a living.

When I return to my hometown during the Spring Festival, I will not compare my income with my car. By that time, Mu Yang has already taken a dim view, so there is no sense of superiority.

He already understood at that time that his life was much better than theirs;

There are many people who are worse off than them.

It's really tiring to compare everything throughout your life. Just feel good about yourself.

What he was more concerned about at that time was that his parents were getting gray hair and wrinkles every year and their health was deteriorating. He had no children and could not stay with his parents.

In his previous life, Mu Yang had realized the happiness that others dreamed of, and now he has lived the life he once hoped for ahead of schedule. He doesn't care about "returning home in rich clothes", so there is no special joy. Maybe he is from a different perspective.

Just looking at the world.

His joy was not that he returned home in fine clothes, but that he was back home and reunited with his family.

He was driving the car and observing the noise outside the car;

People outside the car were also looking at him.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it can be seen from the joyful faces of the villagers that everything is festive.

On both sides of the street, villagers sell their specialties, including rice dumpling leaves, home-grown vegetables, yams, native chickens and ducks, lotus roots, black sugar cane, peanuts, dried sweet potatoes, and candies, biscuits, and freshwater fish.

, couplets and other new year items.

There are these stalls on both sides of the street.

The New Year's goods sold in town are of very low quality, especially candies and biscuits, which cost a few yuan per catty. Many of them are used to worship Buddha or as gifts, and they taste really bad.

There is no big supermarket in their town. The largest supermarket in the town covers an area of ​​less than 100 square meters. If you want to buy good candies, you have to go to the city to buy them.

But the local New Year products sold in the town are indeed very cheap. Local chicken here costs 13 yuan per pound, while in Jiangnan Province it costs 30 or 40 yuan, and it is difficult to find sources.

Fruits are even cheaper, but they are still a little more expensive than usual during the New Year. Sugar oranges cost 2 yuan and 50 cents per jin, sugar cane costs 60 cents per jin, bananas cost a piece, and good-quality apples cost less than 5 yuan.

The price of pork is not much different across the country. These days, pork belly sells for more than ten yuan.

After a while, the car stopped in front of Song Xuelu's house.

In 1997, when the policy allowed, land was developed and sold in the town. It was 80 square meters, 5 meters wide and 16 meters long. The foundation had been laid. It sold for more than 20,000 yuan at that time. My father-in-law and mother-in-law pooled their money to buy one of the land, and then they themselves

I spent more money to build a two-story building.

There are three rooms on the first floor. The largest room facing the street can be used as a shop. In the middle is the bathroom and stairs. The bottom of the stairs is used as the kitchen, and the back room is used as the living room.

There are three bedrooms on the second floor and a bathroom.

Buildings with this structure are very common in cities and towns, and each house is connected together. Those with money will build three or four floors.

Both my father-in-law and mother-in-law were working, so it was not suitable to run a business. Renting out the shop would affect my family's life, and the rent was not much, so I did not rent out the shop.

Song Xuelu's grandparents lived in the countryside and were not used to living in the town. Currently, Song Xuelu's family only lives as a family of three.

At this time, the door to the house was closed. Song Xuelu knocked on the door for a while but no one opened the door. She had to open the suitcase and searched for a long time before finding the key.

Mu Yang thought she was going to call her parents to open the door:

"Do you still take your house keys with you when you go to college?"

"Hehe, when I went out, I realized that I had brought my house keys with me."

Song Xuelu shook a bunch of keys proudly, opened the small door, and Mu Yang moved Song Xuelu's suitcase from the car, as well as the New Year's gifts for her family.

"Xuelu, I'm going back first. If you don't leave, I will be embarrassed if your parents come back."

"Hey, now you know you're afraid!"

"It's not that I'm afraid of your parents, I'm just worried about how you can explain it to your parents." Mu Yang planned to come to the door in a few days, not to avoid this matter.

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law only have one precious daughter, and they are not willing to scold her, let alone beat her.

But when I started dating my boyfriend in my freshman year, I still criticized him.

But Mu Yang would definitely not have a good look on his face. He stole their sheep secretly, and his mood would not be much better.

Mu Yang was about to go out when he saw a young woman, 165cm tall, with well-maintained skin, full of charm, and a face that looked very similar to Song Xuelu. His heart skipped a beat, but he went ahead and said hello.

"Teacher Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so beautiful. Hey, you are such a good country guy, and you have such good taste!"

"You, are you Mu Yang?"

Zhang Ping was caught off guard by the sudden praise, but she still showed a warm smile.

She had just gone to buy native chickens and brought two back. As soon as she arrived at her house, she saw a car parked in front of her door. It had a license plate from Jiangnan Province. She recognized it as a Mercedes-Benz, but she didn't know how much it was worth.

I was curious about who parked in front of her house, and it was from another province. Isn’t this the province where my daughter is studying in college?

When you see the door open, is your daughter back home?

My daughter said before that she would come back later, saying it would be within the next few days, but she did not specify which day.

As soon as I walked in, I met a boy. He was wearing casual clothes. He was quite handsome. I had some impression that he was in the same class as my daughter in the third grade of junior high school. That year, there were only 8 students who were admitted to the county high school at the same time, including 2

One is a repeat student.

The school has the high school entrance examination score list and admission list every year. As a teacher, she remembers the names of the students in her daughter's class.

During the holidays, my daughter would have gatherings with her junior high school classmates from time to time, and Mu Yang would always be there.

"Teacher Zhang has such a good memory, you still remember me!" Mu Yang laughed.

"Mom, you're back." Song Xuelu came up with some embarrassment and hugged her mother's arm.

Song Xuelu blinked, and Mu Yang cleverly said, "Teacher Zhang, Xuelu, I have to leave beforehand."

I was mentally prepared beforehand, but when it happened, it happened so suddenly. I had no mental preparation at all, and even forgot all my drafts.

Mu Yang opened the car door, started the car, and left here.

Zhang Ping was so attracted by her daughter that she put down the chicken in her hand because she was afraid that the chicken would stain her daughter's down jacket.

Seeing Mu Yang driving away, he was a little confused: "Xue Lu, did Mu Yang drive you back?
