Chunk, chugging, chugging.

The tractor started all the way from Hongshan County and entered the mountain road of Lijia Village early in the morning. It continued to drive south into a world covered in silver.

Seeing this fairy-tale forest, Wang Defa was so excited that he almost cried. He was very excited.

"The scenery of the south is covered with ice and snow. Looking inside and outside the Great Wall, there is only wilderness; the great rivers are no longer surging... Genghis Khan, the great hero of his time, only knew how to shoot eagles with a bow. All of them are gone. To count the heroes, we still look at Hongshan."

"Hahahaha!"

His perfect adaptation made the poem more suitable for everything in front of him, and immediately caused laughter among everyone in the car.

In the past, if this fat man showed off his bravery, Jiang Qitao would have scolded him, but today, she actually smiled for the first time in her life, listening to the well-known poetry, and her eyes seemed not enough to look around. She looked at the area that seemed different from the Jiang family village, capturing all the information she could collect.

"Fat nephew, from now on I will just call you Brother Dashi! You have a bright future!" Li Chaodong sat on the edge of the truck bed, teasing Wang Defa with his nose red from the cold.

"Go away, you call me fat nephew? You have no respect for your elders!" Li Yuanbei next to him immediately reached out to take the snow from the tree beside the road and made a snowball and threw it at him.

"Li Yuanbei! What are you doing? Are you cold?!" Li Chaodong glared at him.

"Sister, what Chaodong said is true. I heard him say, Fatty Pot, no, it was the fat nephew who said that he wanted to be named Li, and he also asked our Big Pot to adopt him. Then he has to call our Big Pot dad, so isn't he our nephew?"

As soon as Li Dingxi said this, everyone in the car burst into laughter.

Wang Defa was originally standing on the edge of the car. Hearing this, he silently took his foot off and said in embarrassment: "Damn it, Chaodong, are you making fun of me? Let me see if I will give you a beating..."

Li Xiangnan laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. He pulled him to comfort him, "Fatty, don't argue with your uncle Chaodong!"

"I'm going to die!" Wang Defa was dumbfounded, frowning and saying, "We can't play like this, right? I'm the youngest among all the people in this car!"

"Hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter again, and the birds in the woods were startled and flew away.

Wang Defa was too lazy to chat with the younger Li Chaodong. Seeing Zhang Jingyang sitting outside the truck bed with his feet dangling on the edge, staring at the back without saying a word, he moved over and asked in a low voice, "Little Brother Zhang, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Qitao and Li Yuanbei on the side pricked up their ears at the same time.

"Thinking about the rest of my life..." Zhang Jingyang said sincerely as he looked quietly and honestly at the snow scene slowly passing by on both sides.

"Damn it, stop giving me witty remarks..." Wang Defa scratched his head, expressing his incomprehension.

Zhang Jingyang turned to look at him and smiled gently: "If you have been to Lijia Village, you will understand why I say this! I want to... come here to celebrate the New Year every year!"

"You're not going home?" Wang Defa was extremely surprised.

"Where do I have a home? This is my home now!" Zhang Jingyang pursed his lips and smiled.

"..."Wang Defa was stunned. He looked up at the vast and majestic snow-capped mountains and thought about his future.

He knew that Zhang Jingyang's feelings towards Lijia Village and Li Xiangnan had changed since he was bitten by a snake in Lijia Village in the summer and almost died.

What about him?

A hundred years after the grandfather in the nursing home passed away, his last relative in this world was gone!

When parents are alive, life still has a destination. When parents are gone, life only has a way back.

He hadn't felt the word home for many years.

Snapped!

There was the sound of a camera shutter from behind.

Wang Defa and Zhang Jingyang were awakened at the same time and turned their heads at the same time.

Snapped!

Another shutter click was heard, and Jiang Qitao finally put down the camera and said with a smile, "The car was shaking, so I didn't take a good picture! Don't blame me if the picture doesn't look good when it's developed!"

Zhang Jingyang turned around and smiled at Wang Defa. Neither of them was bothered by the sad words just now.

After two hours of rumbling, the tractor finally turned into the Lijia Village Brigade.

Grandma Zhu Qiuju, Tong Yu, Ji Qingfang, and Li Fugui, who were originally sitting in the deep bed of the car, all stood up.

Li Xiangnan also stood up slowly, and Chaodong Yuanbei Dingxi beside him stood up as well.

Wang Defa, Zhang Jingyang and Jiang Qitao also turned their heads to look towards the destination of the tractor.

"Is this Lijia Village?" Wang Defa asked in a low voice.

"Yes, this is Lijia Village!" Zhang Jingyang nodded without hesitation.

Wang Defa: "Brother Zhang, are the people in their village really all very good fellow villagers?"

"Just think about it, there is no best, only better!" Zhang Jingyang said this at this time, and he felt a little proud, as if this place had become his second hometown.

Wang Defa did not comment, but became more and more expectant.

Clap clap clap!

Before the tractor stopped, firecrackers were set off at the entrance of the village not far away. Amid the noisy noise, the doors of each household began to open, and the small group of people who were originally basking in the sun at the entrance of the village began to expand like cell division.

Zhang Jingyang was shocked, silently held Zhang Zhisheng's hand, and said excitedly: "Brother, can you smell the joy in the sound of the cannon?"

"..." Zhang Zhisheng sniffed it hard, smiling, "It smells very similar to Yanjing, but it's very different!"

"Get out of the car!"

At this time, Li Xiangnan's voice reminded several people that they had really arrived at Lijia Village.

"Let's go, senior brother!" Zhang Jingyang jumped out of the car, carried his senior brother to the ground, stuffed the crutch made by Li Fugui into his hand, and led him to follow Li Xiangnan.

Wang Defa wanted to get off with his luggage, but Li Fuqin pulled him back, shook his head and said with a smile: "Defa, I'll get it later, get off first!"

"Okay, third uncle!"

Wang Defa nodded, then patted his butt and got out of the car. However, when his sight passed through the gradually dissipating smoke from the firecrackers and looked at the entrance of Lijia Village, he couldn't help but shudder all over, and hot tears flowed down.

I saw that the entire entrance of the village was crowded with no less than three or four hundred people standing there.

Every face was filled with genuine smiles and joy.

Only then did he realize that what Zhang Jingyang said was true.

Zhang Jingyang said that Xiao Li is the most popular person in the village. This is so specific and real, not exaggerated at all.

"Grandpa, grandpa!"

While Wang Defa was stunned, he was awakened by Li Xiangnan's surprised greeting. He turned around and followed quickly.

"Are you back? Are you cold?" Li Dequan reached out and swept the snow off his grandson's shoulders. This is called welcoming him.

"Grandpa! It's not cold!" Li Xiangnan smiled, looked at his grandpa, hurried forward to support him, and complained: "Grandpa, the road is not easy to walk on, why did you come out to pick me up?"

Grandpa has always been a serious person, but today he had a smile on his face. He pinched his shoulder and said kindly, "It's okay! You've grown up...than before, that's good!"

Li Xiangnan grinned, then looked at the elderly people standing at the front and shouted, "Grandpa, Second Grandpa, Fourth Grandpa!"

"Yes!" Li Dewen nodded and said in a dignified manner, "Go burn incense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire crowd automatically split apart to form a path.

"Okay!" Li Xiangnan stretched out his hand, and Li Dewen led the three brothers in front, and he followed silently.

The people around silently surrounded Li Xiangnan, passing by Wang Defa and Jiang Qitao like flowing water, and went gracefully to the back of Li's old house.

"Brother Zhang, why don't you go home? Where are you going?"

Looking at the silent crowd walking all over the mountains, Wang Defa felt his scalp tingling and he didn't quite understand.

"The person who spoke just now is the patriarch of the Li family! The first thing for people returning to the village is to go there! You will know if you follow me!" Zhang Jingyang said softly, holding Zhang Zhisheng's hand and walking behind.

Seeing the admiration in his eyes, Wang Defa was slightly stunned. He turned around and found that Jiang Qitao also had a look of confusion and ignorance.

The two looked at each other and followed silently.

However, after they followed the crowd and walked more than a hundred meters along the mountain road, the mountain suddenly opened up.

A majestic, quaint old ancestral hall suddenly appeared before our eyes.

The villagers stood silently outside the ancestral hall, looking inside. Everyone looked pious and respectful.

The silent but solemn atmosphere flows quietly.

"kneel!"

A deep voice came from the ancestral hall.

Wang Defa and Jiang Qitao both frowned and looked over.

The clan leader Li Dewen took a stick of incense and gently handed it to Li Xiangnan who was standing.

boom!

At this moment, my chest felt as if it had been hit by a cannonball, burning hot and surging with emotion.

Wang Defa's scalp tingled, and he felt that a certain gene in his blood was activated at that moment.

That is something called faith and inheritance.

Jiang Qitao pressed down the silver earrings on her earlobes that were tinkling in the winter wind, for fear of disturbing the ancestral spirits in the ancestral hall who were protecting this land.

She looked at Li Xiangnan who was worshiping his ancestors in the ancestral hall, looked at the Li family members standing solemnly around him, and looked at the peaceful and quiet Lijia Village.

This place has the same appearance as other villages.

But vaguely, there seems to be a big difference.

There is something called cohesion, which seems to be even deeper than that of the Jiang family.

She had a feeling.

Li Xiangnan went to the Ten Thousand Snake Cave with the determination to win.
