As the New Year is approaching, the number of tourists in the village begins to gradually decrease, and the villagers also begin to prepare New Year's goods, but the river beach is still lively.
On the path leading to Yuelong Villa, a young man was dragging a piece of luggage. There was a piece of luggage in the background. He was holding a mobile phone in his hand and was talking on the phone.
"Mom, I'm almost at the door of the house. Well, I'm alone."
The man was walking while talking on the phone. Looking at the unfamiliar roads and unfamiliar buildings in front of him, he began to feel nervous.
"Mom, please wait a moment, I seem to be going the wrong way."
After hanging up the phone, he came to the entrance of the village. When he looked at the huge stone in front of him with the four characters of Yuelong Villa written on it, he finally realized the problem. His home was near Yuelong Mountain.
"Hey, hello! Is this Zhaojiacun here?" He immediately stopped a tourist, handed out a cigarette, and asked.
"Zhaojiacun?" This tourist had obviously never heard of this name. He did not accept the other person's cigarette, but said: "This is Yuelong Villa. I have never heard of Zhaojiacun."
"Oh, thank you!"
The young man sighed. He hadn't been back for two years. He couldn't even find his own door. He didn't know where he was now.
I took out my mobile phone and opened the map. A strange screen appeared. The map indeed showed that this was Longhuan Town and Zhaojiacun.
"That's not right!" Dragging his luggage and looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar river not far away, and then at the lively scene, he hesitated again.
"Isn't that the Zhang family's dog? It seems right, it should be nearby."
As soon as I walked into the river, I saw Zhao Erquan sitting on the bridge talking with tourists.
"Dog!"
His tone was a little uncertain, but he still shouted.
"Are you...Zhao Dahai?" Zhang Erquan suddenly turned his head when he heard someone calling him. When he saw the other person, he was confused at first, then slapped his thigh and stood up.
"Yes, Zhao Dahai from Zhaojiacun. Finally found someone I know. Why are you here?"
"What do you mean, why am I here?" Zhang Erquan was confused by these words. Seeing the other party's expression, Zhang Erquan finally reacted.
"You won't be able to find a home, right?" The more you talk, the more you want to laugh. Zhang Erquan can't help but say: "Have you not called back this year? Several of our villages have merged, and it is now called Yuelong Villa. "
Zhao Dahai was led by Zhang Erquan and found his home all the way. When he saw his renovated house, he still didn't react. It wasn't until his mother walked out of the house that he accepted the reality.
This kind of thing happens constantly in Yuelong Villa. Some of the young people who knew the situation in advance were fine, but some of the young people who never called home were even worse than Zhao Dahai.
Until the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, there were no tourists in Yuelong Villa, and many shops on the river beach were closed.
This day was also the day of Zhang Erquan's wedding. The sedan chair opened the road in front, followed by cars one after another. They played and danced all the way to Dawangzhai.
In rural areas, this kind of scene is very big, and many people run out to watch the excitement.
At this time, a group of villagers had already gathered in front of Wang Cuiping's house in Dawang Village to watch the excitement.
The sedan chair landed, firecrackers went off, some were responsible for scattering wedding candies, and others were handing out cigarettes. A dozen young people crowded into the yard, pushing Zhang Erquan to pick up the bride.
"Gouzi, if you can't even hold the bride in your arms later, it will be a big joke."
"Screw you, why are you talking? I think you are just jealous."
Listening to Zhang Erquan and Zhang Feng's jokes, the group laughed.
A group of more than ten people stood in the yard and waited for an hour. The bride finally finished dressing up and successfully picked up the sedan chair.
This time, the sedan chair did not rush home. Instead, it circled around the entire Yuelong Villa three times, sprinkling candy on everyone it saw, and not being too lavish.
"Shengli, how about we go shopping a few more times."
As Zhang Shengli was driving an empty car and following the sedan chair, Zhang Feng's voice suddenly came from the intercom.
"What's going on? We've gone around three times, what do you still want? All the young and old men in the village are waiting." It was Zhang Xiaodong who spoke.
"Ignore this kid. He has a car full of bridesmaids and wants to stay with them for a while. He's so boring!"
As soon as Xie Fugui said these words, Zhang Xiaodong immediately began to curse, making Zhang Shengli laugh.
Zhang Shengli knew they were joking and didn't really want to make a few more laps, so after three laps, he took the lead and drove the car into the village.
At this time, Yuelong Villa was very lively, with nearly a hundred tables of banquets, large and small, set up along the road in the village, filled with villagers, relatives and friends.
As soon as the sedan chair landed, a group of children gathered around it.
As soon as Zhang Shengli got out of the car, he said to Zhang Erquan: "It's up to you, Gouzi."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, expecting to see Zhang Erquan's joke.
From here to his home, there is a distance of more than ten meters. There is a long red carpet, and it is really uncomfortable for him to hold a bride weighing more than 100 pounds without any strength.
Seeing a group of people swarming up, Zhang Shengli walked aside instead.
"Aren't you jealous?" Eagle lit a cigarette and walked to his side with a smile.
"Why are you jealous?"
"All the dogs younger than you are married, how about you?"
"Our boss, don't talk about the second child. You are not married yet. Why should I be anxious?"
"Aren't you going to participate in such a fun thing as having a wedding ceremony?" Eagle chuckled.
"Just let them and a bunch of young people make trouble. I won't join in the fun."
Zhang Shengli's words made Yingying curl his lips. He was in his twenties and spoke in an old-fashioned way, not looking like a young man at all.
"Sister Xiaoman, are you celebrating the New Year here this year?" Zhang Shengli turned his head and looked at the eagle.
"Where can she go back? She is an orphan. She used to spend every year at Fang's house, but now she is here." Yingying seemed to think of his own life experience. Although his expression did not change, Zhang Shengli could feel his mood at this time.
Su Chengzhou has returned to Yanjing, and Xie Fugui is also preparing to go back after attending the wedding. Although he has a house here, his family is not here for the time being and he has to go back to be with his wife and children.
There was only Su Shicheng. Zhang Shengli originally thought that he would go back to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year, but he didn't expect that he would stay.
"The Chinese New Year will be here in ten days, have you bought any new year's goods?" Zhang Shengli didn't want to talk about such a heavy topic, so he changed the subject directly.
"Not yet, aren't we waiting to join you?" Eagle finished smoking a cigarette, pulled Zhang Shengli and said, "Let's go and help."
At this moment, Zhang Erquan called.
"Shengli, where are you?"
"You're with the eagle at the door, what's going on?"
"Come back quickly, I'm here to have a drink with you."
"It's not my turn to be the one drinking. This is against the rules."
According to the rules of the village, no matter whose family has a happy event, the bride's family must set up a table alone, and then find a few elders to accompany them to drink as a show of respect. Logically speaking, Zhang Shengli's turn is not involved in this matter.
"I've called you by name. What can I do? Come back quickly. I'm waiting. I'll call Brother Eagle too. He can drink."
