Chatting all the way, soon came to Xiahe Village.

The name of Xiahe Village originated from a river. There is a relatively wide river passing by in front of the village. This river is called Xiahe according to the local pronunciation, so the village is also named Xiahe Village.

Because the village has a large population, the houses are quite densely built, basically concentrated in one place, all on the north side of the river, while the south side is a large piece of farmland.

They followed An Zhishu through the dirt road in the middle of the house, and people kept saying hello to him along the way. They would look curiously at the new educated youth, but they didn't take it seriously.

On the contrary, it was Branch Secretary An who walked all the way and introduced to others, "This is my nephew Shu, come on, Shu boy, your name is Grandpa Liu, and he is from the family at the head of the village. Your name is Uncle Li, who lives here." Village end. That's Aunt Wang, that's Sister Zhang..."

Anyway, Anxi didn't remember anyone along the way, but he knew that those people must have remembered him.

Probably because of the operation of the second cousin before, they already knew who An Shu was, and now he suddenly appeared again, and instantly became the talk of the whole village, attracting more attention than the new educated youth.

Sure enough, within a few steps, an old man hurried over with his family.

"The tree boy is back, is cousin real? Where is the tree boy?" The old man's tone was so excited that his lips were trembling.

Because there are few people in the An family, they attach great importance to blood relationship. An Shu is still the only blood of his only younger brother. He had no choice but to give it away.

Anxi understood that this was probably his uncle, and he obviously rushed over after hearing the news.

This speed of transmission is no worse than that of any letter.

Anxi took a step forward to support the old man who rushed over, "Uncle, I am An Shu, and I am back to see you."

"Okay, okay, great." An Daqing burst into tears, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, if you can come back, I will have no regrets."

"Uncle, don't say that," Uncle An is already so old, and Anxi was afraid that he would be too excited and his blood pressure would rise, which would affect his body, so he quickly changed the subject, "Uncle, you haven't introduced anyone to me yet. do not know."

Anxi specifically mentioned his family members, also expressing that although he was given up for adoption, he didn't blame them and still recognized them.

Uncle An was really happy, wiped away his tears, and hurriedly introduced to Anxi.

Uncle An originally had three sons and three daughters. During the famine, one son and one daughter died, leaving the eldest son An Zhong, second daughter An Xing, third son An Cheng, and youngest daughter An Tao.

Because men and women are not ranked together, Anxi is called An Cheng's second cousin, An Xing's big cousin, and An Tao is younger than An Shu, so she can just call her younger sister.

An Zhong married his wife, Liu Shi, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, named An Xin and An Yue. An Xin was an 8-year-old boy, and An Yue was a 4-year-old girl.

An Xing married Li Changsheng, a native of the village, and had two sons, Li Fan and Li Sheng, who were 6 years old and 4 years old.

As for An Cheng who has not returned from the army, and An Tao married to the county and is not here now.

Starting from the eldest aunt, Anxi said hello one by one, and greeted the children with the peach shortbread they bought earlier.

The four children were taught to be very polite, and sweetly called "Uncle, Uncle."

Anxi's heart softened after shouting, as expected, children are the most attractive, although they are not as delicate and cute as Dai Yujue.But they are also good boys, lively and lively.

After Anxi greeted his family, he was surrounded and went to the uncle's house.

Before leaving, Uncle An also explained, "Cousin, come to my house for dinner after you finish your work. Let's have a good chat. The tree boy is back. I have to hold a welcome banquet for him."

"Okay, you guys go first, I'll go there after sending off the educated youth, I have to catch up with the wind." An Daming fully agreed, the two brothers are close, and all important things are discussed.

Secretary An was going to take Sun Xiuxiu and the others to the Educated Youth Court. An Xi greeted them and followed them back to the uncle's house.

The uncle’s house is an adobe yard, and the house is also adobe, which is not as good as other houses. The only good thing is that the roof is tiled, so it won’t leak.

The yard is large and well-kept. It can be seen that the aunt and sister-in-law are hardworking people.

There are four or five rooms in the house, with the living room in the middle, two rooms on the left and two rooms on the right.There is a small house next to the main house. From the opened door, it can be seen that it should be a kitchen.

According to the number of people in the uncle's family, they should have been living tight all the time.

It was very late when Anxi came here, and the sun had already set, but because it was summer, the light was okay.

At this time, there were several dishes on the table in the yard, one was copied celery, one was radish soup, one was scrambled eggs with leeks, and one was copied wild vegetables.

There was a large wooden plate without a cover on the corner of the table. Anxi glanced at it and found that it contained sweet potato rice, which should be the staple food.

The eldest aunt asked Anxi to sit down, "Sit down, tree boy, and dinner will be served later."

While talking, he picked up the apron from the stool and tied it around his body, obviously planning to copy some more dishes.

Anxi wanted to speak, but was stopped by Uncle An, "Let your aunt go, we are happy that you can come back, we must celebrate."

Anxi was helpless, this was Uncle An's kindness, if he refused, it would make Uncle feel uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to agree.

But out of the corner of his eye, he took a look at the big brother and the big big sister. An Zhong was happy, but Liu Dahua was not so happy. Although there was a smile on his face, Anxi was sensitive and could feel that she was a little unhappy.

But she followed her mother-in-law honestly into the kitchen to help.

Anxi didn't care about this displeasure, as long as she wasn't that sloppy.It shouldn't be too difficult to get along with each other in the future.

Afterwards, the auntie and sister-in-law brought three dishes one after another, namely fried pork with chili, braised pork and fish.

These things should be stored for the autumn harvest, so they should be used up all at once now.

This intention moved Anxi a little bit, thinking of the thoughts that flashed in his mind before, he became more determined now.

In fact, there is nothing else. After hearing that his second cousin and uncle spent 400 yuan to build a house for himself, Anxi already planned to give them the money, but he was still a little undecided before.

After all, the wealth is not revealed, and it is really impressive that he can casually spend so much money.

However, the An family really treated him well. Although he hadn't seen the house, it must be better than the uncle's house now.

It was their intention that they were willing to build a house for them. This love was for An Shu. An Xi had enjoyed it, so he would naturally help him repay it.

What's more, Anxi is not short of money. He has more than 3000. After he has enough, he can live well for a long time.

After a while, Zhishu An came over, and his eldest son came with him, but the rest of his family did not come over.

"They've already eaten, and they're cleaning up. When they're done, they'll come over to see the tree boy," An Zhishu said.

This is obviously a lie, I just don't want to come to add burden, no one's family is well-off now, of course it is not good for a family to go to other people's house to eat and drink.

As for An Shi, the eldest son of An Zhishu, he is the eldest son of the family, and he and An Zhong would run errands for An's family, so An Shi also brought him here.

After the lively meal, the women packed up their things, the children were driven out to play, and a few big men were left sitting in the yard to discuss matters.

Secretary An took a puff of dry cigarette, and said, "According to me, Boy Shu's house has already been built, and the only thing missing is some furniture. The old Liu from the east of the village can make it. Search around and see who still has good wood, and build a brand new set of furniture for the tree boy, so that you don’t have to build new ones when you get married in the future.”

"When the home is all set up, we will hold a few tables of warm banquets. All the old and young men in the village, uncles and aunts will be invited to have a banquet, and say hello to everyone. It means coming back. In this way, presumably No one objected to the tree boy rejoining our village, even if he had to earn work points and food in the future, they couldn't say anything."

This is cannibalism.

"I think it's okay. I'm worried. What kind of business should the tree boy make when he comes back? He can't just do nothing. He also wants to go to the county to find his daughter and son-in-law, and let them think of a way to see if they can arrange it." What kind of temporary worker. But this matter can't be done for a while, you still have an idea, cousin."

Uncle An was immediately happy after hearing this. He was still thinking about it when he had just eaten.

The tree boy is now poor and destitute, and has no relatives. The closest one is his uncle. He has to make a living without starving to death.

"Foolish words, farming is not as good as going to the city to be a worker. You should go to Tao girl, and you have to go. If it weren't for the friendship between Shu boy's parents and her father-in-law, she would not have a good life now. Let Tao The girl served some snacks and urged her husband to think of a way, if he can get the tree boy a worker, he will have nothing to worry about for the rest of his life."

An Tao's father-in-law, Li Dawei, and An Shu's parents are comrades-in-arms, and they have a life-threatening friendship on the battlefield, and they saved each other's lives.

Later, he was injured and retired, and became the chief of the county's public security bureau. He didn't forget the comrades who died. He came to visit An Shu as soon as he returned to his hometown, hoping to help the comrades who died to take care of An Shu.

Unfortunately, at that time, An Shu had been adopted for several years, and no news came back.

Afterwards, his family and Uncle An's family also had frequent contacts. An Cheng was able to get his legacy, join the army as a family member of a martyr, and the results of his operation.

Although there is a little gap between the two families, they watched An Tao grow up.

Li Dawei and his wife have only one son and no daughter.

An Tao has been good-looking since she was a child, and she is clever and sweet-talking. She often makes Li Dawei's daughter-in-law very happy, so she often takes her to play.

Later, An Tao grew up and married Li Dawei's son.

The two children grew up as childhood sweethearts, and the mother-in-law still treats herself like her own daughter. An Tao's life is very smooth.

So Secretary An thought it was right to ask An Tao to help.
