Yanjiawan.

It is the largest village with more than 2000 households and a population of nearly [-] ten miles away from Lingqu Town.

It is said that not only in Jizhao County, but even in Zhicheng City, all the families surnamed Yan went out from Yanjiawan.

Therefore, it can also be said that Yanjiawan, which belongs to Fuyuan Township, Lingqu Town, Jizhao County, is the root of the Yan surname.

Autumn is crisp and the heat of the summer heat is gradually dissipating.

The crops in the field were harvested in sevens and eights, and the men in Yanjiawan were busy with the busy farming season, and they all ganged up again to make money outside.

Most of the people staying in Yanjiawan today are women, children, old and weak.

No, just after lunch, the mothers-in-law and aunts who stayed at home in Yanjiawan gathered under the big banyan tree in front of the bay to gossip.

"Fourth sister-in-law, is there a visitor from our bay?" A young auntie held the insole in one hand, leaned over, and quietly asked the older auntie beside her, with a curious look on her face.

"Eh? I didn't hear that there was a visitor!" The woman known as the fourth sister-in-law stopped knitting the sweater, and she also looked puzzled.

"Impossible, I saw it when I brought water home last night!" The young woman's eyes widened, her face full of "impossible".

"Tell me, what's the matter?" The young aunt was embroidering mandarin ducks on the white cotton cloth according to the pattern on the other side. The aunt who seemed to be about the same age as her also came over, elbowing the young aunt with a gossip.

"Ah, this is the pillow cover embroidered for your sister-in-law's dowry? Tsk tsk, this style is really good." The young aunt saw the work in the hands of the aunt, and exclaimed.And when the aunt who embroidered mandarin ducks touched her waist with her elbow, the young aunt grinned and continued: "Tsk, really, I saw a stranger coming to the bay last night." The young aunt looked at the people around her. The mothers-in-law and aunts all stopped, and the man in their hands stared at her. She was satisfied with her little vanity, sat up straight, and became interested: "There are a lot of people in Yanjiawan, right?!"

All the women and aunts nodded, waiting for the next words from the young women and aunts.

The young mother-in-law curled her lips, and said tut-tut: "Tsk-tsk, I can see clearly that none of our mother-in-laws in Yanjiawan are as good-looking as that man."

"Hey, no way? Have you met Yan Jun's daughter-in-law of Aunt Guochang's family?" Another young woman sitting on the root of the banyan tree stopped the embroidery frame made of bamboo strips in her hand, and retorted: "Last time When Yan Jun brought it back, Aunt Guochang said, where is the girl's house?"

"Chongqing." The middle-aged mother-in-law who made the dustpan straightened the bamboo strips and said.

"That's right, that's right, it's from Chongqing. I heard from my family that Sichuan and Chongqing are full of beautiful women." Seeing that someone answered her words, the young woman who made embroidery continued proudly: "He Aunt, have you seen Yan Jun's wife too? Can she look better than others?"

"I think Yan Jun's daughter-in-law can't compare to that person no matter how good-looking she is." The young woman curled her lips with disdain on her face: "I saw that person, but he was a man."

"Ah? A man?" All the young women and aunts exclaimed.

"It's not too bad. This man looks so good-looking. At that time, I was frightened. I thought it was the vixen that the old people said." The young woman put the insole on her leg, and said with words and deeds: "At that time, I was so shocked that I almost spilled the water in the bucket, and that man was so handsome... Fortunately, he gave me a hand to hold the pole on my shoulder, otherwise wow, my face Lost my hair."

"His aunt, are you bragging? Can a man be more handsome than my mother-in-law?" The mother-in-law, known as the fourth sister-in-law, also put aside her knitting work and became interested.

"Fourth sister-in-law, when did I ever lie to you?" The young aunt was unhappy, and tilted her head to look at the other party.

The mother-in-law known as the fourth sister-in-law smiled "hehe", and quickly stretched out her hand to pinch the young mother-in-law's face: "Yo, the child's aunt, sister Guiyue, good girl, are you angry? Isn't sister-in-law curious! Yo, don't be angry Angry, turn around and let my Dazhao brother coax you well?"

The mothers-in-law burst into laughter when they heard the words, and the young mother-in-law blushed with shame, and gave the fourth sister-in-law a coquettish look: "Fourth sister-in-law, you... are not serious, and you know how to bully your sister and me."

"Okay, my sister-in-law won't bully you anymore. Tell me, have you seen which house that good-looking man went to? Don't say it, if there is such a good-looking man... Cough, I really don't know which house you said Such a good-looking relative!" The fourth sister-in-law laughed when she saw it, and made a fuss, and stopped the joke before the other party became angry.

The aunt named Guiyue pursed her lips and thought for a while, then shook her head: "It was already dark at the time, so I didn't pay much attention. However, I think the direction he is walking should be towards the back of the bay."

"Hanhoutou?" The older women and aunts exclaimed.

"Auntie, do you know?" The young women and aunts asked in surprise.

"If you want to say that you are the Queen of the Bay, I think of someone." The middle-aged aunt who made the dustpan also threw the bamboo strips and the unformed dustpan to her side, and said again: "If it is true, then it is true. That's right."

"Aunt Guosheng, tell me, who is it?" The young mothers-in-law and aunts were the first to lose their temper and asked chirping.

The middle-aged aunt known as Aunt Guosheng slanted her eyes and raised her eyebrows to look at the other middle-aged aunt with shoe soles: "Aunt Zhaosheng, do you know who I'm talking about?!"

"Grandma Seven..." Upon hearing this, several young aunts and aunts turned their eyes to the middle-aged aunt called Aunt Zhaosheng.

Looking at her own eyes, the middle-aged aunt called Aunt Zhaosheng (the seventh grandma) thimbled the needle, and the needle passed through the thick sole of the shoe, and grated in her hair: "Oh, the back of the bay Fourth Yan, you know that right?!"

"Fourth Uncle Guoqiang?"

"Yan Jiang... he's a baby?"

"Zhao Cuihua is his father-in-law?"

Several young women and aunts spoke at the same time.

Aunt Zhaosheng (seventh grandma) continued: "Maybe what Dazhao's daughter-in-law sees is the third son of Yan's family."

"The fake daughter of the fourth uncle's family, Xiaosaner?" The fourth sister-in-law exclaimed.

"Sisao, do you know?" Guiyue hurriedly asked Sisao.

The fourth sister-in-law nodded: "The youngest son of the fourth uncle's family, the younger brother of Yanjiang Yanhe. But, didn't you hear that he was admitted to a university in the capital and made a lot of money in a big city? Are you back?"

"Fourth sister-in-law and fourth sister-in-law, can't I, I know what the men of Zhao Cuihua's family look like, can a man who is five big and three thick have a younger brother like that?" Guiyue looked at the fourth sister-in-law in disbelief.

"Cough, this... I don't know very well." The fourth sister-in-law coughed: "When I first married in Yanjiawan, the third son of the fourth uncle's family was picked by the city to go to a free high school, and later I was admitted to university again, but I really haven't seen what my fourth uncle's youngest son looks like in real life... I only know that the men call him a 'false girl' behind their backs."

Aunt Guosheng took over, looking at the big banyan tree behind them with eyes full of memories and said: "You don't know, that little third son was born like her mother. Tsk tsk, when little third son's mother was brought back by Yan Laosi Son, our Yanjiawan..."

"Ahem, Guosheng's daughter-in-law." Aunt Zhaosheng (seventh grandmother) said, and gave Aunt Guosheng a hard look. Aunt Guosheng curled her lips and lowered her head to continue weaving the dustpan.

"Hey, here we come." Guiyue exclaimed in a low voice, pointing her finger at the young man who came out from behind the bay.

A group of mothers-in-law and aunts looked at the past at the same time, with different expressions.

"...Oh, it's really the youngest son of Yan's fourth family who has come back."

The fourth son of Yan, whose full name is Yan Guoqiang, had four brothers from his parents and was the youngest. He had married two wives before and after.

Yan Guoqiang had just turned [-] when he married his first daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law had a bad life. After four years of marriage, she gave birth to two sons, Yan Jiang and Yan He. Falling ill all over, when Yan He was less than three years old, the young daughter-in-law left her father and three and left.

When Yan Guoqiang turned 40 years old, he went to the town, and when he came back, he was accompanied by a young and beautiful daughter-in-law who shocked the surrounding villages.

A year and a half later, the little daughter-in-law gave birth to Yan Guoqiang's third son, who is also known as Yan Xiaosan.

However, everyone in the Bay knows that Yan Laosi's young wife is beautiful because she is not a rural person like them at first glance, and she is probably from a big city.

Therefore, some people speculated whether Yan Guoqiang bought it from the traffickers. What's more, some old men secretly guessed how much Yan Guoqiang paid for this beautiful daughter-in-law.

This beautiful daughter-in-law, since she was brought home by Yan Guoqiang, she seldom goes out, let alone visits, chatting with people is commonplace.

Fortunately, after the beautiful daughter-in-law gave birth to Yan Xiaosan, she occasionally took the baby out for a walk in the bay to get some fresh air.

Therefore, the people in Wanli also had the opportunity to say hello to this beautiful daughter-in-law.However, even if this beautiful daughter-in-law simply responded with a slight smile, or responded with a few polite words, she was gentle and soft-spoken, completely different from the carelessness of other village women in the bay.

That sound was so good that it made one's bones go weak, and even the women and aunts in the village blushed and their hearts beat when they heard it, asking secretly: Could it be that the vixen went down the mountain?You have to take care of your own man!

Yan Xiaosan looks like his mother, she has been white and clean since she was a child, like the fairy boy in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, not at all like those wild children in the bay.

Because Yan Laosi's other two sons were only a few years younger than Yan Xiaosan's mother, when Yan Xiaosan was born, both boys became half-children, able to help Yan Laosi work in the fields.And Yan Xiaosan also speaks softly and softly like his mother, so the children in the bay generally don't play with him, and some bad-mouthed children clap their hands and shout "fake girl" when they see Yan Xiaosan.

As a result, Yan Xiaosan stayed at home with his mother every day, almost never going out... At most, he would run after the chickens in the yard while his mother was feeding them.

What people say is "a beautiful woman with a poor life" means that Yan Xiaosan's mother is such a person.

The old people said that Yan Xiaosan's mother was born like a fairy, maybe she really came down to earth from a fairy, otherwise the daughter-in-law was born so beautiful? ... So God let her ascend to the sky early.

When Yan Xiaosan was eight years old, Yan Guoqiang took advantage of the rush to go to the town to go to the market to buy some households, but was dragged back home on the way——Yan Xiaosan's mother was thrown into a well.

People in Yanjiawan still don't understand why Yan Xiaosan's mother threw herself into the well.

However, after that, according to Yan He and Yan Jiang, Yan Xiaosan never called Yan Laosi "嘤" again.

I don't know if Yan Xiaosan has completely followed his mother, not only is he good-looking, but he is even better at studying than ordinary children.

After graduating from junior high school, Yan Xiaosan was selected by a key high school in the city. Moreover, I heard that tuition and accommodation fees are free, and there is also a scholarship every year.

When everyone in Yanjiawan said, "Yanjiawan is about to have a champion", the mayor came to Yanjiawan with a notice, beating gongs and drums.

It turned out that Yan Xiaosan, who lived up to everyone's expectations, passed the provincial No. 1 exam and was given priority in admission by a prestigious university in the capital.

Although everyone heard the good news from the mayor, they also found that Yan Xiaosan had not returned.

It will be six years since Yan Xiaosan left.

When the inquisitive Wanli people were chatting behind their backs, when Yan Xiaosaner, the champion son of Yan's family, was mentioned, he couldn't help but sigh.

People in the old life said that Yan Xiaosan was the star of Wenqu, and the number one scholar could not escape.

Let's take Wang Dafu in the town as an example. Although his boy has also been admitted to a university in the province, it is said that those are all relying on Wang Dafu's money from selling fish and posting them.Not only does the annual tuition cost tens of thousands, but the monthly living expenses also cost tens of thousands.

Other people's children paid for their college education, but Yan Xiaosan was not only admitted to a well-known university in the country, but they never asked Yan's fourth son for a penny.

I heard that Yan Xiaosan not only never spent a penny of Yan Laosi's money in college, but also remitted thousands of dollars to Yan Laosi during the Chinese New Year the year before last.

……

and so on.

Until four years passed.

Yan Xiaosan saw that it was time for him to graduate from university.

But Yan Xiaosan was still missing. When Yan Xiaosan returned to Yanjiawan, the people in Yanjiawan realized that something was wrong.

I asked Yan Jiang, the eldest son of Yan's fourth son, and before Yan Jiang could say anything, Yan Jiang's daughter-in-law, Zhao Cuihua, stood up with her hips akimbo and yelled at the inquisitors.

As for the second son of Yan He, the fourth son of Yan, he went south to work in the early years. After marrying a foreign wife, the couple lived in Zhicheng City. I heard that he opened a shop and was doing fruit business. Do not go back to Yanjiawan.Don't even ask, many people hardly remember what Yan He looked like.

Fourth Yan?

Fourth Yan is a dull-witted person, he can't make a fart with eight sticks, so it's useless to ask.

Since then, why Yan Xiaosan didn't go back to Yanjiawan has become a mystery in Yanjiawan.

...Just like why Yan Xiaosan's mother threw herself into the well back then.
