On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Hao and Yan Tong went to Huayu Village to pay New Year greetings to Zhou Hao's grandmother and the others. According to the custom in previous years, Zhou Hao and his son would stay one night at grandma's house and go back with them on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
Compared with Zhou Lichang's family, Zhou Hao had a much better impression of his grandmother and the others, and the gifts he prepared were much more considerate. There were supplements for his grandmother and grandfather, brand-new clothes for his uncle, cosmetics for his aunt, and even
There are also two sets of combination speakers. As for giving
As a gift from his cousin Yan Qingqing, Zhou Hao specially chose a red concentric knot because he remembered that when he was a child, Yan Qingqing watched a certain romantic drama and saw the male protagonist giving the heroine a beautiful concentric knot.
After that, I dreamed that I could also have a concentric knot.
Huayu Village is far away from the urban area and is located in a remote place. Even the cement road cannot lead to the village. There is only a muddy dirt road more than ten miles outside the village. Fortunately, the performance of Zhou Hao's "Audi" is still very good.
Not bad, it can handle such a dirt road without any problem.
When they arrived at the entrance of Huayu Village, the villagers were attracted by this "Audi". Although it was stained with a lot of dust on the way there, it still could not affect the envy and surprise of the villagers, because the richest man in the village
Every household only uses the old-style "Santana".
Yan Tong drove the car straight to the door of the Yan family. The Yan family had three bungalows. Zhou Hao's two uncles, Yan Mu and Yan Munan, had one each. The rest were lived by his grandparents. The three bungalows were all in the same building.
In the yard, the Yan family is very close.
The Yan family had known that Yan Tong and the others were back, so they were waiting at the door. However, they were very surprised and puzzled to see such a majestic car parked in front of their home. When they saw Yan Tong and Zhou
When Hao got out of the car, he was immediately stunned.
"Third sister, what's wrong with you? Why do you have a car...?" Yan Mudong asked Yan Tong in shock.
Yan Tong just smiled and said to them: "Come on, help move the things in. I bought gifts for everyone."
Everyone no longer bothered to ask Yan Tong and moved a car full of things into the house. Grandma pulled Yan Tong and said: "Third sister, just come and see us. Why did you buy so many things? We
How can I use it all?"
Zhou Hao knew that his grandparents and two uncles loved Yan Tong very much, and they also loved Zhou Hao very much. When Zhou Hao was a child, his favorite thing was to spend summer vacation with his grandmother.
Yan Tong said to his mother: "Mom, didn't I call you earlier and tell you that I opened a fast food restaurant? Now that store has made money, and this car was bought with the money earned."
Grandma was also very happy when she heard Yan Tong say that the store had made money. When Yan Tong called them before, they were worried that Yan Tong didn't have enough money. Yan Mudong and Yan Munan were also planning to raise money to lend to Yan Tong to open a store. Unexpectedly, Yan Tong
The shop not only made money, but also bought such a good car.
At this time, both grandparents saw Zhou Hao, rubbed their eyes and exclaimed: "Here, is this Xiao Hao? How come he has grown so tall after not seeing him for a year? He looks much better than before."
"Grandma and grandpa, this is Xiao Hao." Zhou Hao hugged grandma and grandpa affectionately, "Xiao Hao misses you so much."
Since Zhou Hao hadn't been to Huayu Village for a whole year, he didn't tell them about Qiuning Mountain in order to prevent them from worrying, so now they thought Zhou Hao's changes were the normal development of a child.
"Oh, you're already two heads taller than grandpa. Grandpa won't be able to hold you anymore." Grandpa stretched out his hand to touch Zhou Hao, with a kind smile on his face.
"Xiao Hao has grown up and doesn't need to be held by grandpa anymore." Zhou Hao said with a smile.
The group entered the house and Zhou Hao also saw Yan Qingqing.
I saw that Yan Qingqing had bright eyes and white teeth, and was very beautiful. She also had a more simple atmosphere than girls such as Situ Jianying and Yang Jiabao. Today, Yan Qingqing is still a pretty girl in her prime, just like Zhou Hao in her previous life.
The haggard-looking peasant woman I saw last was the same person.
"Little... you, are you Xiao Hao?" Yan Qingqing couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the tall and handsome Zhou Hao. Because a year ago, he was still a child not much taller than herself.
"Cousin Qing Qing." Zhou Hao said with a happy smile. Looking at Yan Qing Qing's pretty face that had not been eroded by time, Zhou Hao made up his mind in his heart that he would never let her repeat the mistakes of her previous life.
Yan Qingqing took a few steps forward and took Zhou Hao's hand. She couldn't hide her excitement and said, "Xiao Hao, is it really you? You, you have grown so much that I almost didn't recognize you."
"Cousin, you have grown a lot taller too." Zhou Hao touched Yan Qingqing's head and remembered that she was only a little over 1.5 meters tall a year ago, but now she has grown to over 1.6 meters tall.
Zhou Hao's chest.
Second uncle Yan Munan smiled at Zhou Hao and said, "Your cousin Qingqing often talks about you and asks you to come home to play this summer."
"I don't have to come. Cousin Qingqing, you can also come to the city to see us." Zhou Hao said with a smile. His hand was still held by Yan Qingqing, and he felt that Yan Qingqing's jade hand was soft and warm to the touch.
The texture is very comfortable. Although Yan Qingqing has been doing housework or farm work since she was a child, her hands are not covered with thick calluses like others, but they remain smooth and soft.
"Xiao Hao will take the high school entrance examination this year." Uncle Yan Mudong said with a smile.
Zhou Haodao: "Yes, I am going to high school this year, where is my cousin?"
"She stopped studying after graduating from junior high school. Originally we wanted her to find someone to marry as soon as possible, but who knows now..." Before her second aunt Lu Guifang could finish her words, Yan Munan pulled her sleeves to stop her.
What she said.
Grandma and Grandpa's faces were suddenly covered with a haze. Zhou Hao was secretly puzzled. Just when he was about to ask, Yan Qingqing took his hand and said, "Let's not hinder their chat. Let's go outside."
Let's go for a walk." After saying that, he pulled Zhou Hao out.
Huayu Village has maintained its natural appearance to a large extent, with mountains on three sides. The villagers planted fruit trees on the mountains. When Zhou Hao was a child, he and Yan Qingqing often went to the mountains to play and secretly picked fruits from other people's trees to eat.
Most of what is grown in Huayu Village is lychee
and longan, Zhou Hao remembered that the lychees and longan on the mountain were not only large, juicy and sweet, but much more delicious than those bought in fruit shops in the city. Many villagers in the village also raised fish, so there were many fish ponds in the village.
, and many villagers raise chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry.
Walking in the village, Zhou Hao looked at the surrounding scenery and found that Huayu Village was still similar to what he had remembered in his previous life. Because it is far from the city and the transportation is not convenient, it has never been able to develop. The living standards of the villagers are still relatively low.
Low. For example, the two uncles’ homes still use black and white TVs.
Next to her, Yan Qingqing kept her head down. She didn't know what she was thinking. She raised her head and said to Zhou Hao: "Do you remember that we used to go up to the mountain to play? Let's go up for a walk."
"Okay." Zhou Hao nodded and followed Yan Qingqing to the mountain to the east.
The two of them were walking on the mountain, and Yan smiled softly and said, "It's a pity that it's still spring. If you came in summer, you could eat lychees and longans."
"I remember when I was a kid, I often stole other people's lychees and longans to eat." Zhou Hao recalled with a smile.
"How dare you say that you remember one time when you stole other people's lychees and you were almost bitten by that big yellow dog." Yan Qing said in anger.
Zhou Hao scratched his head, "Fortunately, my cousin was there at that time, and I used stones to scare away the yellow dog."
At that time, Zhou Hao went to pick lychees but was discovered by someone else's big yellow dog. He was chased by the big yellow dog from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. In the end, Yan Qingqing didn't hesitate to throw stones at the big yellow dog to scare it away.
Zhou Hao was hiding behind Yan Qingqing at that time and admired Yan Qingqing extremely.
"Xiaohao, will you come again this summer?" Yan Qingqing asked.
"Maybe not." Zhou Hao was a little embarrassed, because he should have been in Hong Kong at that time.
Yan Qingqing had a look of disappointment on her face, but she still smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway... since you are here, my cousin can no longer play with you." She casually picked off a longan branch next to her, bored.
Pick off the leaves above.
"Cousin Qing Qing, why?" Zhou Hao caught the helplessness and sadness flashing in Yan Qing's eyes.
But Yan Yan smiled softly and shook her head, "No, it's just that we are not children now, and we can't just play as carefree as before." There seemed to be a hint of something in her voice.
Open sigh.
"Crack, crackle, crackle!" The sound of firecrackers came from the village at the foot of the mountain. However, the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival did not match the sadness on Yan Qingqing's face at all.
"Cousin Qingqing, are you in any trouble?" Zhou Hao asked seriously.
Subconsciously, he thought of a possibility. He felt that this matter might be related to Wei Kuanji, and his second aunt Lu Guifang also mentioned the matter of "marrying" just now. In his previous life, he had always been very strange, like Yan Qingqing.
How could a gentle and beautiful girl marry a rude and overbearing man like Wei Kuanji?
Moreover, the second uncle is not the kind of person who would sell his daughter's happiness for money, so why would he let Yan Qingqing marry such a person?
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao grabbed Yan Qingqing's jade arm, looked into her eyes and asked: "Cousin Qingqing, tell me, is someone forcing you to get married? Is someone bullying our family?"
Yan Qingqing's face changed color slightly, and when she saw Zhou Hao's deep eyes, she opened her lips slightly, really wanting to tell him what was in her heart. But when the words came to her lips, she could not say them out. She turned her face away from Zhou
Hao's eyes forced a smile and said: "Xiao Hao
What are you talking about? No one is forcing me to get married." On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Hao and Yan Tong went to Huayu Village to pay New Year's greetings to Zhou Hao's grandmother and the others. According to the custom of previous years, Zhou Hao's mother and son would stay one night at her grandmother's house and take them with her.
I just went back on the third day of the new year.
Compared with Zhou Lichang's family, Zhou Hao had a much better impression of his grandmother and the others, and the gifts he prepared were much more considerate. There were supplements for his grandmother and grandfather, brand-new clothes for his uncle, cosmetics for his aunt, and even
