Chapter 97 Your family is so poor
On the morning of October 2, Gao Yang finally returned to his hometown. He first sent Fang Jian back to his hometown a few kilometers away from Anhe County, then turned back and drove to Renshui Township.
Thinking of meeting Gao Yang's family soon, who was as steady as Gu Yawen, I felt a little nervous along the way, a bit like a pretty daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law.
In the past two days, Gu Yawen also learned that Gao Yang had a sister who lived in a rural town after getting married and opened a small restaurant.
Gao Yang’s parents farmed in their hometown in the countryside.
Gu Yawen originally wanted to go to the mall early in the morning to buy some gifts, but Wu Ruohan found it troublesome, so she opened Wu Peng's wine cabinet and picked up four bottles of Wuliangye and four cartons of soft cigarettes.
This time, another three to four thousand yuan was stolen from Wu Peng.
On the streets of Renshui Township, today is not a market day. Gao Yue and his wife are open for business as usual. Small businessmen have no concept of the Golden Week holiday and cannot afford to take this holiday.
"Uncle! Mom, uncle is back..."
They parked in front of the restaurant, and after Gao Yang and the others got off the car, their niece Jiang Xue saw them and was very happy.
Due to inconvenient contact, Gao Yang was unable to inform his family that he was going home during the National Day holiday.
Gu Yawen looked at Jiang Xue with a smile. After Wu Ruohan got off the car, she looked at this small town with curious eyes.
It's too small, with only two small streets and one intersection, and probably only a few hundred people living here.
Seeing Gu Yawen and Wu Ruohan, two beauties with extraordinary bearings, Jiang Xue felt a little timid.
Gao Yang smiled and said: "Xiaoxue, this is Aunt Yawen, this is Aunt Ruohan..."
Jiang Xue called out timidly, but felt that the name was weird and couldn't remember it for a while.
Gu Yawen smiled and took Jiang Xue's hand: "Xiaoxue, are you doing your homework..."
At this time, Gao Yue and Jiang Bing came out with surprised expressions, followed by smiles on their faces.
Gao Yang said: "Sister, brother-in-law, this is Gu Yawen, this is Wu Ruohan."
Gu Yawen hurriedly said: "Sister, brother-in-law, have a good holiday."
Wu Ruohan also said: "Sister, brother-in-law, hello."
Gao Yue smiled and said: "Okay, okay, please sit in the room."
After entering the house, Gu Yawen quietly winked at Wu Ruohan. Only then did Wu Ruohan react and stretched out her jade hand towards Gao Yang: "Car keys."
Wu Ruohan went to open the trunk and brought two bottles of wine and two cigarettes.
Gu Yawen took the cigarette and wine and handed it to Gao Yue with a smile: "Sister, brother-in-law, you came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything."
Gao Yue smiled and said, "You're too polite."
Jiang Bing glanced at it and was shocked when he saw Wuliangye and Ruanzhongyan.
Gu Yawen took out her wallet from her handbag again, took out 200 yuan, and handed it to Jiang Xue: "Xiaoxue, auntie came in a hurry and didn't prepare a gift for you. Can you go buy some candies yourself?"
Jiang Bing hurriedly said: "I can't do it, I can't do it. How can a kid get so much money?"
Gao Yang said: "Xiaoxue, Aunt Yawen gave it to you, just take it."
Jiang Xue's face turned red, she took the money and said crisply: "Thank you, auntie."
Jiang Bing smiled and went to make tea, while Gao Yue sat down and talked with the guests.
After chatting for a while, Gao Yue winked and asked Gao Yang to follow him to the patio behind.
When they arrived at the patio, Gao Yue whispered: "Have you found a girlfriend?"
Gao Yang nodded.
Gao Yue asked again: "Whose surname is... Gu?"
Gao Yang said: "Yes, her name is Gu Yawen, and the other one is Wu Ruohan, who is her cousin. Just call them Yawen and Ruohan."
"Yawen, Ruohan, Yawen, Ruohan..."
Gao Yue read it softly several times and said with a smile: "This name sounds very cultured, but it is not easy to remember. Gao Yang, what are your plans for today?"
Gao Yang said: "Sister, why don't you take a day off from business and let's go home."
Gao Yue smiled and said: "Okay, Gao Yang, your girlfriend is so beautiful and has a good personality. This time, you have found the right person."
Gao Yang smiled bitterly: "Sister, hurry up."
Gao Yang came out and said to the two girls: "Yawen, Ruohan, my sister will be with them later, and we will go back to our hometown."
Gu Yawen smiled and asked: "Is it far?"
Gao Yang said: "It's not far, three or four miles."
Gao Yue brought some of the cold dishes, braised food, fresh vegetables, and fresh meat from the restaurant.
When guests come to the house in the countryside, except for self-raised chickens and ducks, these things can only be bought on the street.
Gao Yang drove out of Changzhen, and as soon as he entered the road back to his hometown, Wu Ruohan was surprised and said: "This road is so narrow."
Jiang Bing smiled and said: "This is called a mechanical plowing road. It used to be used for running tractors. The rural areas are backward and cannot compare with your cities."
Wu Ruohan still wanted to say something, but she quickly shut up when Gu Yawen pinched her hand quietly.
A few minutes later, my hometown arrived.
In the courtyard, Gao Yingxue was still weaving baskets, while Li Xiuzhen was sitting under the eaves chopping pigweed.
Gao Yue stepped into the courtyard first and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, Gao Yang has brought his girlfriend back."
Gao Yingxue and Li Xiuzhen were overjoyed immediately. When they met the person and Gao Yang introduced them, the old couple both had cheerful and silly smiles on their faces.
The son has become successful, and the wife is so beautiful, she looks like she just walked out of the TV.
Although Gu Yawen was a little nervous during the polite introduction and chat, she responded generously and appropriately.
Gao Yang's home surprised Gu Yawen a little.
Along the way, we also saw some small two- or three-story Western-style buildings or small farmhouses with red brick walls. Only old houses with earthen walls like Gao Yang's home were relatively rare.
After getting to know each other and chatting for a while, Gao Yue said: "Gao Yang, please take Yawen and Ruohan out for a walk. We will cook at home."
Gao Yue finally remembered the names of these two girls.
Gao Yang looked at the two girls: "Are you going?"
Gu Yawen smiled sweetly: "Go for a walk and see your hometown."
Jiang Xue wanted to follow, but was held back by Gao Yue. Gao Yingxue laughed and wanted to find a DVD for Jiang Xue to watch.
After leaving the small courtyard, Gu Yawen naturally held Gao Yang's arm, and the three of them walked on a tractor path to a large pine forest behind the house.
Walking to the edge of the pine forest, Wu Ruohan suddenly said: "Brother Yang, I didn't expect that your family is so poor."
Gu Yawen's face darkened: "Ruohan, can you speak?"
Wu Ruohan stuck out her tongue: "Brother Yang, I'm sorry, sometimes I can't speak clearly."
Gao Yang smiled and said: "It's okay. Our family is poor. This is a fact. Our ancestors have been poor farmers for several generations. My grandparents died early and I have never seen them since I was a child. If I hadn't passed the exam in school, I would be here now.
, he should still be carrying a hoe at home."
Wu Ruohan said: "You are so miserable."
Gu Yawen glared: "You are talking nonsense again, really."
Wu Ruohan quickly covered her mouth and did not dare to speak.
Gao Yang smiled and said: "It's okay, rural areas have been at the bottom of society for thousands of years.
In fact, our family is not too poor. There are some extremely poor people in the village. Their income depends entirely on farming, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. Many times, they have to sell food in exchange.
Then, every spring, there was not enough food to eat, so we had to borrow food from everywhere.
Therefore, in rural areas, there is a saying that in spring and summer, the two or three months before wheat and rapeseed mature, there will be no harvest..."
