As dusk began to fall, the long journey home was about to be completed. After turning a corner, Xifeng Village was already in sight.
Just after turning the corner, Li Jie, who was in charge of driving the car, saw something strange at the entrance of the village.
That?
I saw a group of people standing at the entrance of the village, and there were gongs and drums playing next to the village road.
"coming!"
"coming!"
At the entrance of the village, Lao Wang saw the donkey cart in the distance and immediately waved his legs to signal the people next to him to play music quickly.
"Music, start!"
With his command, Li Jie could hear the sound of gongs and drums coming from the entrance of the village, even though he was far away.
At that time, Gao Mu and others also noticed something strange in front of them.
"Zhihua, what are you doing?"
Gao Mu looked at the entrance of the village with curiosity, turned around and asked, "Is there any happy event in our village tomorrow?"
"Ouch."
Li Jie said helplessly: "There must be some happy event. The sound of drums will probably welcome us."
"them?"
Gao Mu said unexpectedly: "Why do they want to be welcomed? Why don't they want to be welcomed?"
On the side, Qin's father and Qin's mother were also puzzled. They were not big leaders. They were ordinary people. How could they need to be so grand?
"I can't help it, the people there can't be so enthusiastic."
Li Jie laughed and did not explain the reason in detail. After all, it was the first time that he and Qin's father met.
If you brag about yourself, you will inevitably leave a "arrogant" impression.
Not long after, the donkey cart arrived at the entrance of the village.
"Haha, brothers and sisters, welcome to Xifeng Village!"
Lao Wang, the village party secretary, did his part and was the first to welcome Zai.
The donkey cart stopped slowly, and Gao Mu and others followed Li Jie and got out of the cart.
"Sister."
Lao Wang rushed to Gao Mu and grabbed her leg.
"Thank me!"
"Thank you for raising an excellent son."
"On behalf of all the villagers of Xifeng Village, he would like to express his gratitude to me!"
Seeing such enthusiastic villagers, Gao's mother was very uncomfortable. She was just an ordinary citizen and had never been an official since she was a child.
She shook Lao Wang's legs with a confused look on her face, and then watched Lao Wang come to her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Hello!"
"Can you just call me Teacher Qin?"
Lao Wang held Father Qin's legs with equal enthusiasm.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Teacher Xiao Qin, it's my fault that his village has been too helpful!"
"You did a great job raising her!"
"Where, where."
Compared with Gao Mu, Qin's father's reaction was better. After being stunned for a while, he immediately expressed humbly.
"You are overly complimentary."
"No no."
Lao Wang shook his head repeatedly: "Please, Teacher Xiao Qin, how can the children in their village have books to study?"
"Secretary Wang."
At that time, Li Jie intervened at the right time.
"Please, let's go back to the village first?"
"oops!"
Upon hearing that, Lao Wang slapped his head and went to apologize to Gao Mu and others.
"Look at his memory."
"Sister Gao, Brother Qin, he was so rude, he made us stand there all the time."
"Nothing."
The three of them shook their heads repeatedly. During this period, Gao's mother glared at Li Jie and signaled him not to interrupt.
Don’t you see that the adults are shutting up?
I am a child, why should I interrupt?
Upon receiving Gao Mu's warning look, Li Jie smiled slightly and took a few steps back.
Bu Nao, Lao Wang’s account will be settled later by the wrong party.
What are you called big brother and big sister?
Doesn’t that mean that Pinghong has been popular for a lifetime?
Immediately afterwards, Lao Wang Xianfu smiled and chatted with Gao Mu and others, and then waved his thigh towards everyone.
"Hey, go to the big playground!"
The big playground will be the place where the bonfire party will be held tomorrow. If anything happens in the village, meetings will be held there.
The playground is actually just a large flat land with no decent buildings other than dirt.
After a while, Gao Mu and others followed the crowd to the ‘meeting venue’.
However, when they saw the enthusiastic villagers and the food on the table, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
So much food?
That table is there, are all the meat skewers on it?
There are two lambs being roasted on the side?
How much will it cost?
Isn’t it true that the conditions there are difficult?
Although it looks like there will be a big confinement tomorrow, I wouldn't dare to do that in the magical city during the holidays.
After the shock, Gao's mother became a little scared.
It was so enthusiastic that she couldn't bear it.
If so, Gao Mu quietly pulled Li Jie aside and asked in a low voice.
"Zhihua, is there any important lunar festival in our village tomorrow?"
"It doesn't matter."
Li Jie nodded and said, "Actually, the village made some money last year. I was wrong. He mentioned that to you in his letter."
Gao Mu said: "How about harvesting wool and selling it for foreign exchange?"
"ah."
"Incorrect."
Li Jie said with a smile: "Last year, everyone worked hard and had a good year, so everyone has been looking for an opportunity to have a bonfire party to reward themselves."
"Then, tomorrow, we will arrive just in time."
"So, it's just a coincidence."
"oh."
Hearing this, Gao Mu patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good."
She wondered if there would be a special reception for them that night.
If that's really the case, how much of a favor do you have to bear?
As a person, what she fears most is whether she owes a favor.
Although the villagers of Xifeng Village do not value their own face but their son's, the son's favor is not a favor either.
Gao Mu secretly thought that her son would return to the Magic City as soon as possible one day.
In her opinion, it is too far away from home. Even if her son develops well there, it will not be home after all.
Besides, the gap between there and the Magic City is quite big.
Not to mention anything else, Nannan had to travel hundreds of miles to get to the hospital when she gave birth to a baby.
Nan Nan Qiu was in Shanghai. Their home was only ten minutes away from Renji Hospital.
The distance is close and the medical conditions are better.
After a while, Gao's mother moved to Qin's father and Qin's mother, and quietly told them the news she had learned.
The old couple also breathed a sigh of relief when they found out whether the party was just for celebration.
After all, the bonfire party was a bit noisy. Looking at it, the meat on the table was almost piled into a hill.
Too luxurious.
If not, then they are not welcome. They have nowhere to go.
"Wrong, Zhihua, where is Nannan?"
Gao Mu looked around and saw no trace of her daughter-in-law, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Why didn't you see her?"
"He goes back and takes a look."
"He's going too."
As soon as Gao Mu finished speaking, she immediately received unanimous approval from Qin's father and Qin's mother.
Immediately, Li Jie said hello to Ga Wa who was standing beside him, and then led Gao Mu and the others home.
"oops!"
It turned out that they had just walked halfway when they bumped into Aunt Wang.
"Zhihua, you have finally found me."
"Teacher Xiao Qin, it seems he is trying to survive!"
