Ba Zong's rural life [farming]

Niu Da was sent away, because the kitchen was half cleaned and couldn't cook, so Ruan Xishi and Lu Ze just cooked noodles to fill their stomachs at noon.

While eating noodles, Ruan Xishi received a call from Pan Yao. Pan Yao said that they would come over to spend the New Year's Eve with them in the afternoon, and they might spend the night here tonight. Let me know in advance, and asked Ruan Xishi what she needed to buy, and whether there was any food at home. .

The family only has pork for offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, plus vegetables from the vegetable field. Although it cannot be said that there are no vegetables, but there are no decent dishes. A little shabby.Ruan Xishi said to Pan Yao: "If it's convenient for you, you can buy some dishes you like and cook them."

Pan Yao got Ruan Xishi's permission, and said happily: "Okay, then mom will go to the supermarket later, and she may return to your place around five o'clock in the afternoon."

Ruan Xishi nodded while holding her mobile phone, and said, "Okay, then let's cook first."

After another busy afternoon, Ruan Xishi and Lu Zecai cleaned the kitchen to a new look. Some people in the village made preparations quickly, and they had already finished worshiping the Kitchen God. Firecrackers sounded one after another in the village, scaring Xiao Hui and ran straight to the kitchen.

Ruan Xishi was afraid that Xiao Hui would make trouble in the kitchen, so she asked Lu Ze to help him bring Xiao Hui back to the foot of the stairs, and Lu Ze drove Xiao Hui to the foot of the stairs.

After Xiaohui left the kitchen, Ruan Xishi took out the pork bought from the pork guy this morning, washed it, put it in a pot and boiled it half-cooked, and then put it on a tray for the Kitchen God.

On New Year's Eve, we only need to worship the Kitchen God instead of the ancestors. The ceremony is simpler. Once the tribute tea and wine are placed, the incense is inserted, and a piece of paper is burned. Afterwards, Lu Ze takes a small string of firecrackers and goes out to set off. The sacrifice to the Kitchen God is considered complete.

After finishing all this work, it was getting late, so Ruan Xishi simply washed and washed the rice and cooked, waiting for his parents to arrive.

There were a lot of people going back to their hometown for the festival today, and there was a traffic jam on the road. By the time Pan Yao and the others arrived in the village, it was almost six o'clock.

Pan Yao and Xu Lixin took a lot of things out of the car, including vegetables, snacks and fruits. Ruan Xishi was used to saving with his grandfather, so she couldn't help complaining when she saw so many things.

"There is still a lot of food at home, why bring so much here, what a waste of money."

Pan Yao smiled and said, "Not a lot. Mom and Dad will live here and eat a lot."

They were going to put things on the coffee table in the living room, but there were already several bags of gifts on it. When Pan Yao saw it, she complained to Ruan Xishi, "Didn't it be good for mom to prepare new year's goods for you? Why did you buy them like this?" How many things?"

Ruan Xishi glanced at it and replied, "This is a thank you gift from Uncle Niu's son, we didn't buy it."

Pan Yao was surprised when she heard the words: "Thank you? What kind of thank you?"

Ruan Xishi explained: "The last time Uncle Niu fell ill, Brother Lu Ze sent him to the hospital to see a doctor and helped take care of him. Uncle Niu's son was grateful to Brother Lu Ze, and brought some gifts to Brother Lu Ze when he came back from the city for the New Year."

Pan Yao suddenly realized, and sighed: "So it's like this, it seems that the human touch in the village is very strong."

Ruan Xishi smiled and said: "Of course, if you live in the village for a while, you will find that the villagers are very loving."

When Pan Yao bought vegetables, she considered that cooking was troublesome. She bought either ready-made dishes or clinker, the kind that could be eaten after being boiled in a pot. Serve hot.

There were a lot of dishes, but fortunately, we changed a dining table at home, and Pan Yao sat on the new table and chairs, and finally didn't have to shrink back to eat like before, which felt quite fresh.

"This table is very beautiful, when did you buy it?"

Ruan Xishi took this opportunity to show Pan Yao how good Lu Ze was, and quickly responded, "Brother Lu Ze bought this in the town. He said it was for a bigger table, so it would be more comfortable for the whole family to sit and eat during the Chinese New Year."

Pan Yao glanced at Lu Ze when she heard the words. Lu Ze was eating with a bowl elegantly, looking unaffected by their conversation, looking at a man of talent.

This is Pan Yao's second careful observation of Lu Ze since she knew that Lu Ze was her best friend's son and that she wanted to make a baby marriage for her "daughter". The more she watched, the more she felt that Lu Ze was a good match. .Able to cook and do housework, considerate and caring for others, tall and handsome, with good academic qualifications, it can be said that in the upper class in China, rich families are vying for a wealthy son-in-law, but now this wealthy son-in-law belongs to their family , Pan Yao felt very relieved.

After dinner, Lu Ze took the initiative to clean up the dishes and asked Ruan Xishi to chat with his parents, but Ruan Xishi couldn't compete with Lu Ze, so he had to let him wash the dishes by himself, while he stayed in the living room to greet his parents.

Pan Yao bought a lot of fresh fruits, and she took them out for Ruan Xishi to wash and eat after eating, Ruan Xishi had to take some out to wash and come back, the family sat on the sofa and chatted after eating.

When talking about the Chinese New Year, Pan Yao asked: "Baby, where do you want to celebrate the New Year this year, go back to your hometown in China with your parents, or go to your home in the United States with your parents? The relatives in your hometown are more lively, you It’s been a long time since I’ve seen them, and it’s good to get to know them, the Spring Festival atmosphere in the United States may not be very strong, but your elder brother, sister-in-law, nephew and niece are all there, so it’s good for our family to simply celebrate the New Year.”

Ruan Xishi shook her head and said, "I'm not going anywhere, I want to celebrate the New Year in the village, and I don't plan to go to other places after the New Year, just stay in the village."

Pan Yao became anxious when she heard this, and quickly persuaded: "How can this be done? You are the baby of Mom and Dad, and you have to go back to Mom and Dad so that Mom and Dad can rest assured. You see, you couldn't let go of your grandfather before. Willing to go with mom and dad, now that your grandfather has gone back to his hometown with his relatives to rest in peace, you don’t have to worry about him being alone in the village with no one to look after him, why don’t you want to go with mom and dad?”

Although the "soul" of grandpa has been brought back to his hometown by relatives, his bones are still lying on the mountain in the village. Ruan Xishi still can't let go of the matter about grandpa, and it is impossible for him to leave the village easily.Even if grandpa returned to his hometown with his relatives completely, Ruan Xishi grew up in the village since he was a child, and has a deep relationship with the village and the villagers, and it won't be easy to let go.And although the village is poorer, the relationship between people is very deep, the human touch is strong, the atmosphere of communication is very good, and the environment is also very good.Ruan Xishi was not sure if the people in the bustling big city could be as enthusiastic and honest as the people in the village when everyone was rushing about for houses and cars.

Ruan Xishi is a simple person, neither likes nor is good at dealing with complicated people or things.He even felt uneasy when he was eating in a restaurant and faced with formulaic and enthusiastic waiters because of work needs, let alone dealing with all kinds of people when he left the society. Ruan Xishi felt that he was not suitable for such a life. I know those few people in the village, and it would be nice to grow vegetables and raise chickens every day.

The most important thing is Lu Ze. Ruan Xishi feels that if he goes back with his parents, no matter whether it is to return to his hometown in China or to the United States, his parents have no obligation to take Lu Ze and settle him down, let alone accept Lu Ze. The fact of his boyfriend is gone.Moreover, a person like Lu Ze, who has the ability to live, would not like to live a life of being dependent on others like a rice worm, and Ruan Xishi was also reluctant to let him be wronged.

Ruan Xishi said to Pan Yao: "Besides grandpa, there are other important things that make me reluctant to leave the village. I think life in the village is very good. Now that the road has been repaired, the village will only become more and more convenient in the future. Developed, maybe it will become a small city, and it’s no different from living in the city.”

Pan Yao probed hesitantly: "You don't want to go with your parents, is it because of A Ze, you are afraid that after you leave, A Ze will stay in the village without anyone to take care of you, so you don't want to go with your parents?"

When Ruan Xishi heard her tone, she felt that she should have seen some relationship between him and Lu Ze. He thought it was too tiring to deal with his parents all the time, so he might as well confess to his parents. Disgusting, despising his son, and abandoning him again, maybe it can completely solve the problem that his parents kept asking him to leave the village, and he can live in the village with Lu Ze without any scruples.

Now he is not afraid that Pan Yao and Xu Lixin will spread the fact that he and Lu Ze are gay. Firstly, after getting along with him for this period of time, he can see that his parents are not such despicable people, and they are also dignified They should care about their own face, and they will feel ashamed if their son is gay.The second is that I sent my grandfather and relatives back to my hometown two days ago, which made him think through a lot of things. People can't just be considerate of others and be patient all the time, otherwise they will lose things that are important to them.The third is that he has already made a plan. If his relationship with Lu Ze is exposed, he and Lu Ze will move to the city, rent a small house, and find some undemanding jobs to do, as long as the two of them can endure hardship. Hard work, he should be able to live in the city. Living in the city does not need to be judged by the villagers, and if he wants to come back to pay respects to his grandfather, he can come back to pay respects, and the journey is not very far.

Ruan Xishi said frankly: "Yes, I can't let Brother Lu Ze go, so you should stop trying to persuade me in vain. I won't leave Brother Lu Ze and go with you. If you can't accept it... just treat it as if I had committed suicide 18 years ago. dead."

He only said such unfilial words in a moment of heat, but the words had already been spoken, and even if he regretted it, he couldn't take it back. Ruan Xishi lowered his head, clutched his pants tightly, and waited for his parents' reaction.

Pan Yao was a little sad when she heard this, but she knew that everything today was caused by her alone, so she couldn't condemn Ruan Xishi's unfilial piety, she opened her mouth and said, "Actually, this is not a problem, and my mother is not that kind. Conservative feudal parents, and A Ze he..."

Just as he was about to talk about the key point, Lu Ze came in after washing the dishes. He gave Pan Yao a look who was about to confess his identity to Ruan Xishi. Pan Yao remembered what Lu's mother had said to her, and immediately fell silent.

Let them solve the emotional problems between children in their own way.Pan Yao thought so.

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the room, Lu Ze smiled and said, "The kitchen has already boiled water, who will take a shower first?"

Ruan Xishi saw Lu Ze come in, and his mother finally stopped nagging him because of Lu Ze's presence, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and said casually like someone who had nothing happened before, "Let my parents wash first, they will start After driving for half a day, I should be quite tired, and I just went to bed early after taking a shower."

Lu Ze nodded and said to Pan Yao and the others, "Then uncles and aunts should go take a bath first."

Pan Yao's goal of persuading Ruan Xishi was not accomplished, and it's not appropriate to continue talking about it now, so she sighed: "Okay, then I'll go wash it first."

After Pan Yao finished washing, Xu Lixin followed, and then Ruan Xishi went to wash.

When Ruan Xishi was taking a bath, Lu Ze and Pan Yao were sitting in the living room, and Lu Ze said, "I believe my uncles and aunts already know who I am from my parents. I am very glad that you plan to separate me and Xi Shi, thank you for accepting me."

Pan Yao sighed: "This may be fate. I was shocked when I heard about it, but we are relieved when I think that you are so good and you are good to Xishi. But the biggest problem now is Xishi We don't want to leave here at all, we don't worry about him living in the village, and you can't stay in the village forever, if you don't go home, help your father and brother manage the family business."

Lu Ze nodded and said: "Yes, this is what worries me the most now. I also hope that Xi Shi can promise you and return to his original living environment. That is undoubtedly the best for his growth. But recently There are too many things, his mood is not stable, I don't want to provoke him anymore, so I haven't been able to find a chance to confess my affairs to him, and I can't bear to persuade him to leave here."

Pan Yao agreed: "I'm also very happy that you think so. It can be seen that you are very considerate of him. Right now, we still have to cherish the time and not force him, otherwise it will only arouse his rebellion." Psychology. But your uncle and I also have our own careers to be busy, and we can’t stay in the country 360 days a year to take care of Xi, so I want to take advantage of this time to convince him quickly.”

Lu Ze said: "I can understand this. You don't have to worry too much. If you really don't have time by then, you can rest assured that you will leave it to me. I will take good care of him and persuade him."

Pan Yao thought about a lot, then asked Lu Ze for an idea, and asked, "Ah Ze, what are you going to do?"

Lu Ze said: "At least wait until the Chinese New Year is over. His mood should improve during the Chinese New Year. I will confess to him when the time comes. Don't provoke him during this time."

Pan Yao sighed, "That's the only way."

The author has something to say:

It feels like the end is getting closer, babies, don’t be in a hurry and don’t draw conclusions on Shizai first, I have my own ideas to make Shizai’s relationship change a little smoother qwq He can’t see his parents have money and immediately follow them Let's go, this is too snobbish, not taught by people like grandpa
