Born to be a showman

Feng Cha led Jiang Chiyue and the two from his memory, and stumbled to find the Jiang family's yard.

According to Jiang's mother, when Jiang's mother gave birth to Jiang Chiyue, the neighbors pointed out a lot of gossip. In order to provide Jiang's mother and children with a good living environment, the old man asked someone to transfer jobs. When I moved, the yard here was locked, and when I left, only a few close family members knew about it.

Later, when Jiang Chiyue was six or seven years old, the family situation improved a lot. The old man and Jiang Yu both worked, and it was not a problem to support a child. Unfortunately, the weather was unpredictable, and the old man followed the wind and cold.

Jiang Yu buried the old man and Jiang's mother together according to the old man's instructions. Later, when he had a better opportunity, Jiang Yu finally worked as a music teacher in a school in Qinghe City, which was regarded as a permanent residence.

During this period, due to various reasons, Jiang's mother never had the opportunity to bring Jiang Chiyue back to her hometown.

After careful calculation, this is Jiang Chiyue's first time coming back.

The small county town has been developing well in the past few years. I explained to the driver: "I heard that this area is also planned to be demolished. This original flavor of the last century may not last long."

Indeed, along the way, there are many high-rise buildings, surrounded by large and small streets, and the commercial streets passing by seem very lively, and the farmers' market is even more lively. Pull back down the alley where everything feels slow.

The driver said: "The old people live in this area now. Almost all the young people are working in other places, and those who are capable also buy houses in other places. Only some old people who are nostalgic are unwilling to leave. The compensation for demolition is still very considerable."

Feng Cha took Jiang Chiyue, holding Yuan Bao in his hand, and recalled telling the two of the past. Ever since he entered this alley, vague memories rushed to his face, thinking that the forgotten past easily broke free and let it out. .

Make his eyes moist.

Feng Cha pointed to the house on the left side of the alley with a large water tank with a hole in it and said: "The scallion pancakes made by the grandma of this alley are the best in the alley. As soon as he smelled the smell, he lay at the door of his kitchen and drooled, unwilling to leave. There was also this water tank. In the past, if someone ran out of water for cooking, they would pick up the water directly here with a wooden bucket. The old man is a well-known hard-working person in the neighborhood, except for the wind and rain, he gets up early in the morning to go to the alley to fill the water tank almost all year round."

Pointing to a few ginkgo trees on both sides: "These trees were not so tall back then. At that time, there was a boy who was bored and drew various 'works' on the trunk. The buttocks beaten by the elders of the family blossomed, and the screams could be heard all over the world. Go to the next alley."

Listening to Feng Cha talking about his past, he looked down and saw that Yuan Bao was a little tired and was wiping the sweat off his face with his hands. Jiang Chiyue bent down to pick up Yuan Bao. The child was very silent and well-behaved today. He was picked up by his father, silently He wrapped his arms around his father's neck, buried his face in his father's neck and did not speak.

Seeing Feng Cha looking back at him in a daze, Jiang Chiyue stepped forward, reached out gently, and held his hand with the other.

After Feng Cha was stunned for a moment, he tightened his hands.

The father and son had a silent exchange.

Feng Cha has lived here for less than two years, but it seems that there are countless good memories in this alley, and he can't finish it, especially when it comes to which food is particularly delicious and fragrant. Sometimes abroad, I suddenly want to eat this bite, so I found a lot of chefs, but I didn't make that taste in the end.

Especially the thing he described, it can be called the alley on the tip of the tongue, and Jiang Chiyue couldn't help but wonder if his father's memory filter might be too thick.

Yuan Bao also became much more energetic. With big watery eyes open, he asked Feng Cha innocently: "Grandpa, is it really so delicious?" After speaking, he swallowed suspiciously.

Only then did Feng Cha realize something, and rubbed Yuan Bao's head amusedly: "Are you hungry?"

At this moment, an old but crisp voice came from the nearby yard: "Hey, isn't this Xiao Yue from Lao Jiang's family? Are you going home to visit your grandfather's grave? Hurry up, your old house will not be able to live in for a while Man, let's go to my aunt's house to have a drink of water. When did you come? Are you hungry? Let your uncle go out to buy groceries, and have dinner at my aunt's house at noon! The fried noodles made by my aunt are delicious. Just make this for you!"

Involuntarily pulling Jiang Chiyue to go home.

It also startled the driver who was following far away.

Those who have never seen the enthusiasm of the country people for their relatives must not dare to imagine. No matter how the family is doing, the guests must provide the best hospitality when they come.

After entering the main room and giving up their seats, the cheerleaders brought a table of snacks and drinks with dried fruits, and even touched Yuan Bao's head thoughtfully, as if to comfort him: "Children eat more fruits, and they are all fresh. I heard that they drink too much drinks. In addition to being unhealthy for children, grandma’s home-grown fruits are so sweet!”

Until then, the three of them finally came to their senses in a daze.

Jiang Chiyue introduced to both parties: "Auntie, this is my dad, who lived next door to our house back then. This is my daughter, Yuan Bao."

Introduced to Feng Cha: "Dad, this is Jiang's aunt, an old neighbor here." After speaking, he added specifically, "At that time, my aunt brought people to help take care of my mother's funeral."

Feng Cha's attitude became sincere and enthusiastic in an instant, and he thanked the old man repeatedly while holding the old man's hand.

The old man has lived all his life, and he has never seen anything in a big storm. He neither asked about the events of the year, nor did he ask why Feng Cha was nowhere to be seen when Jiang's mother passed away.

After being stunned for a moment, he lightly held Feng Cha's hand, carefully scrutinized his expression, and took a long time to confirm: "That's right, it's the kid from the Feng family. Back then, the middle-aged kid played behind our alley kid. It seems that you are very gentle, everyone says you will be a promising person in the future."

He didn't talk too much about the past, and instead said: "It's good to come back and have a look, it's good to come back, Lao Jiang and his wife know it, and they should be happy." It’s only been a few days since I sent my little grandson to school, and you’re looking for trouble for me again? You didn’t say clearly what it was on the phone!”

Aunt Jiang left the house without saying a word, stood at the door of the house with her hands on her hips and shouted to the yard: "What's the matter? You didn't want to help bring up your grandson? You complained later? That's fine, I won't do it today." Arguing with you, our Xiaoyue is back, hurry up and buy vegetables! Go to his third uncle's house to buy, their vegetables are fresh and do not use pesticides!"

The sound of the two people can be heard in the next yard, which is normal.

After a while, several old men and women came over.

Jiang Chiyue introduced to both parties. In short, almost all the people who came here were from the Jiang family. This area or the whole alley was all from the Jiang family. The older ones were called Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, Grandpa Jiang, and Grandma Jiang. Always right.

Back then, at Mother Jiang's funeral, it was these old people who came with their younger generations to make Mother Jiang's funeral a splendid one.

At that time, Jiang Chiyue had just passed through, and her mind was not very clear, and she was not very familiar with the customs and customs here. At that time, she just had an idea to deal with Jiang's mother's affairs first. Of course, he couldn't handle this kind of thing alone, so then How to do it?Naturally, he thought of the clan, the tribe.

So a phone call was made, and these elderly people brought the young people who could take care of things at home to deal with Jiang's mother's affairs in a graceful manner, and did not mention the transportation expenses, board and lodging expenses to Jiang Chiyue.

Thinking about it is also to see him pitiful.

At that time, some old people asked Jiang Chiyue: "Our Jiang family has ancestral graves, your grandparents are buried there, and there are still people paying homage to them during the four seasons and eight festivals. The thoughts of us old men are not left behind. Well! Now these years, I’m not so particular about it anymore, the big guy can’t blame you for leaving your mother alone, if you want your mother to enter the ancestral grave, uncle go and tell the big guy.”

Although Jiang Chiyue refused at the time, because Jiang Yu had taken care of the cemetery for her before he was alive, but in his private heart, he actually wanted Jiang's mother to enter the ancestral grave.

It was also because of these that after Jiang Chiyue made money quickly, he did not forget the people from his hometown.

Therefore, when the surrounding heard that Jiang Chiyue was coming back, so many people gathered around.

Jiang Chiyue probably explained the cause and effect to Feng Cha in a low voice, and Feng Cha silently patted Jiang Chiyue's hand on his knee.

Aunt Jiang went to the kitchen to cook. Seeing that the weather outside was fine, there were quite a few people here. Jiang Chiyue didn't see anyone outside and moved the stools for eating at home. Pony went to the yard to invite everyone to sit. Seeing that there were not enough stools, These people moved some more consciously from the neighbors.

In an instant, there were nearly NO.20 old people in the yard.

Uncle Jiang brought out two small kang tables and put melon seeds for refreshments, creating the atmosphere of a youthful tea party.

Feng Cha and Jiang Chiyue were surrounded, and this one said to Feng Cha: "Xiao Feng, you gave birth to a good child! You will be blessed when you grow old!"

It was the first time that Feng Cha was praised in this way, and it felt quite subtle.

The one said: "Xiao Feng, Xiao Yue is a conscientious child, and he has not forgotten us after making money. Last year, he introduced jobs to the young people in the alley, and also set up a bridge for those engaged in agricultural product cultivation, introducing buyers, which cost a lot of money." heart!"

Someone said: "Hey, Xiaoyue, if you don't come back, grandma will call you soon. You don't know, my Xiaojun, the boss said he was capable of the job you introduced last time. He gave extra money to be a supervisor, but Xiaojun was stubborn, saying that he had figured out the business model of the company, and took a few children with him to go out to work alone! It is more refreshing to say that it is better to be the boss than to work for others! How can I persuade Don't even listen, you said it was a mess!"

Jiang Chiyue knows about this, this Xiaojun has ideas, when he told Jiang Chiyue at the beginning, he said that he wanted to start a career, the purpose was very clear, and he had a goal, he was very optimistic about the housekeeping in the third-tier cities now In the industry, Jiang Chiyue didn't fool anyone, and sent him to a well-known housekeeping company through his relationship.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before I was able to come out and do it alone. The last time I called Jiang Chiyue was a week ago. Jiang Chiyue said to him: "If you have any difficulties, just speak up. Starting a business is difficult. I understand, so you're welcome."

He is also a stubborn person, and he just gagged: "Brother Yue, don't worry about it, when I have made achievements here, you can just lie down and collect the money!"

He wanted to count the money that Jiang Chiyue lent him as shares.

Jiang Chiyue smiled and said to the old man: "Grandma, I know about this, so don't worry about it, I'll watch over it, it's okay!"

The old man's expression softened immediately: "Grandma is afraid that he will go out and earn some money, and have thoughts that he shouldn't have. You can rest assured grandma when you say that!"

Immediately, someone talked about their own affairs. Feng Cha held Yuan Bao in his arms, and peeled peanuts for Yuan Bao to eat. The peanuts grown by the aunt next door tasted very good, and Yuan Bao also tasted delicious.

Looking at the No. 20 people in the yard, Feng Cha felt proud and bitter at the same time. His son grew up to be better than anyone else in a place he couldn't see.
