"It's okay, it's okay, leave the car over there, it doesn't matter!" At this stall, the gate of the yard was pushed open, and a smiling grandma came out, looking very enthusiastic.
Not all the country people recognize their natives, most of them are warm and hospitable. Isn't the so-called simple folk customs just a vocabulary from these small villages?
Just like the grandma in front of me, her face is a little skinny, her skin is also slightly tanned, but she is well-dressed and full of energy.
Li Xia squinted his eyes and thought for a while, this one is his...huh?
Well, the relationship between relatives in the village is really complicated. It is really troublesome to call the seven aunts and eight aunts by titles, not to mention the different folk customs in each place, and there are also various differences in the rules of calling people.After a while, the eldest lady didn't know how to speak.
I had to stand obediently behind my father, and said prettyly, "Hello, grandma."
"Hey! Hello!" The corners of the old man's eyes burst into laughter.
There are frowns all over, and a wrinkled grin, but it is very kind.
Laughing and leading a few people home: "Haven't you eaten yet? The meal is ready, please come in quickly!"
Treating these relatives from the city is a little bit cautious, and they are obviously younger than themselves, but they are a bit grand.
"No, we booked a hotel outside, and we'll be there in a while, otherwise there will be traffic jams outside, and we won't be able to catch up any later."
The eldest uncle and the second uncle waved their hands, politely rejecting the offer.
Although the words were polite, the meaning behind them was very clear.
Just don't want to spend the night here.
I guess I was worried about the children at home. There is no air conditioner in my hometown, and it is summer, so there must be a lot of noise at night.
What's more, their adults are used to working in an air-conditioned room, and one day they are called to sleep with paper folding fans, and they can't adapt to it.
"Would you like to go to the hotel to sleep too." Father Xia glanced at his daughter.
Li Xia thought for a while, and felt a little moved, but accidentally caught a glimpse of Grandma, who was standing cautiously in the open field, looking not far away, but her eyes were shining brightly in the dark night.
Li Xia finally shook his head.
"Is the food still hot in the room? Grandma, I'm hungry, let's cook quickly?" The eldest lady ran over with a smile, grabbed Grandma's hand and shook it.
Only then did the old family come back to their senses, their faces became a little surprised, and they nodded in relief.
"Hey."
……
So in the end, the eldest lady took her father to the house to be a guest for dinner.
If you're attending a wedding, the banquet will start three days later, so it's indeed a bit early.
However, the scenery in Huaipu has always been good, and I come here for sightseeing and business, and I don't have a lot of fun.
The decoration in the room is very simple, although there is no such thing as a hole in the beam, but the window opening is a bit large, and there are a lot of mosquitoes.
But it's only summer, and it's common to have more bugs.What's more, the distance between Lixia University's military training place in the previous life was about the same as the environment here, so I've already gotten used to it.
There were several empty bowls on the dining table, with four or five pairs of chopsticks attached. Grandma smiled, walked over, put away three of them in the closet, and sighed slightly, then turned around again and put the remaining The next few bowls were filled with rice and brought back to the table.
Seeing this action, Li Xia felt a little distressed.
The dishes on the dinner table are all very simple home-cooked dishes, but a lot of oil is used. It may be to entertain the guests. The usual few seasonings are served, which seems to have ulterior motives.
And almost every dish has something to do with eggs.
Either scrambled eggs with tomatoes, or eggplants with fish-flavored eggs. The bright slices make people dizzy, but they are delicious.
Li Xia carefully took a sip, um, the taste is even more distinctive than the chefs on West Street.
But the old man had no interest in eating, he just picked up a few chopsticks superficially, and started chatting with the grandma.
I have to say that the old family is still very enthusiastic.
There were a variety of topics discussed at the dinner table, but they always revolved around the more invariable points, such as the status of the father’s work in recent years, and how the salary is mixed. It will be cold.
"It's not bad, the salary is just like that, but the company's development is very promising. Recently, it has signed a contract with some Internet companies in Guangdong, and it is going to take a sustainable development route. The future is bright..." Father Xia tried his best Explain in words the other person can understand.
In the end, Grandma didn't know how to answer, so she just smiled kindly, clapped her hands from time to time, and muttered: "Okay, okay, I'm promising, I'm promising."
Father Xia couldn't help but laugh.
But in all fairness, when I left home, I and my wife were indeed the least favored couple among the three brothers.
Although his academic performance was better than that of his two second brothers, considering the general environment of that era, he had no money in his hands, and it was difficult to find a job with only a diploma from an ordinary university.
So much so that when I went back to Huaipu to do business occasionally, I would receive strange looks and cold treatment in one way or another, being compared with the two brothers, and even used as a negative example as an example to teach the younger generation, which happened from time to time.
But I didn't expect that in the past few years, I suddenly had the illusion that Feng Shui took turns.
After a meal, you will be full with wine and food.
While cleaning up the dishes, the old man thought about it, but he didn't know what suddenly came to his mind, so he persuaded him.
"Xiaolang, don't blame me for talking too much, the old lady. Those relatives will come back tomorrow. Don't care about what they say, don't take it to heart."
"That's natural." Father Xia waved his hand.
Invitations from their hometown were not only sent to their family, but also some distant relatives who went to other places to make a good living also received invitations.
Some people who went into business in the early years did not say that they made a lot of money, but it is true that they lived a well-off and prosperous life.
With such a good opportunity to return home, it is natural to deliberately show it off.
Coupled with the fact that he worked far away in other places, he had suffered enough indifference in the early years, and the tide has risen in the past few years, and his domineering attitude has become more and more irresistible.
He would look down on these poor relatives in the countryside, which is naturally expected.
Although Dad Xia is no longer a local household in Huaipu, but he also went out to work hard at that age. Being compared with relatives who are on the same starting line will naturally make the side with higher skills feel superior.
In recent years, these superiority feelings have indeed been fully vented.
This is why my mother refused to come over.
Seeing that Father Xia agreed in this way, Grandma let out a long sigh of relief and nodded.
In my impression, this young relative is indeed not the best.
But I have to say that he has a good temper, elegant and easy-going, with a touch of general demeanor.
In fact, this kind of growth is not a bad thing.
----
After eating, it's time to sleep.
Grandma turned off the lights for the two of them, and there was only one bed in the room, so in order for her daughter to sleep comfortably, Father Xia personally... helped her make the floor.
The eldest lady curled her lips, but looked at her father's seriousness: "This bed is full of cotton, it's very hot, you can sleep on the floor, it's made of cement, it's cool, how good is it?"
Well, although there are some unreasonable meanings inside and outside the words.
But I have to say that in such a hot weather, it seems that the underground is more suitable for the three of them.
In fact, the rural environment is not that bad. Air-conditioned rooms are installed in many places. As for those whose environment is slightly backward, they will also buy an electric fan and install it on the beam of the house.
It's just that there seems to be something wrong with the fan, it has been buzzing on the beams of the house, the sound is loud, even more annoying than the flies in the ear.
Li Xia closed his eyes tightly for a while, only to find helplessly that he really couldn't stand the tireless noise.
So she had to use her trump card.
Just stuff your head in the sheets, so although it is a little hot, the sound insulation effect is not bad.
As a result, after being bored for a long time, when I was about to fall asleep in a daze, I found that the noise did not increase but decreased, and it became more and more deafening.
What is this ghost?
Li Xia sat up dumbfounded, and finally saw it.
The old man on the bed was snoring loudly, playing a grand symphony with the squeaky fan...
This Nima.
Li Xia was a little speechless.
Push left, push right, pinch right, but father is like a dead pig, unable to wake up in a daze.
There was no other way, so the eldest lady had no choice but to continue the pretext of taking a walk, and went to the door of the room to borrow a cigarette to relieve her sorrow.
Actually didn't smoke.
Just looking at the moon and stars, the eldest lady who has no sleepiness is always a little confused.
How to pass the time?
I only have a mobile phone in my hand, but when playing games, I am still not interested in the palm-sized screen. The only entertainment item should be making calls.
But who should I call?
After twelve o'clock in the evening, Lao Zhu and Xin'er should have fallen asleep early. As for Luo Zixi, although the two little girls are usually lively and lively, the relationship between the two girls is just like that in private.They didn't even ask for each other's mobile phone numbers, so they can't be called girlfriends at all, can they?
Time slipped away.
Like the night sky high in the sky, it is quiet and breathless.
Li Xia was a little confused.
Listening to the cicadas in the field, I am tireless.
Resting his chin with one hand, he stared blankly.
At this moment, the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated a series of times.
That was the incoming call notification tone set by Lixia.
After all, considering that there will be harassing calls to sell insurance during class, I dare not engage in ring tones, otherwise my mobile phone will have been discovered long ago.
Looking at the series of familiar phone numbers on the screen, Li Xia smiled comfortably.
In this boring night, you actually received a call from this guy?
That's right, the string of numbers on the screen was from Lao Wang.
Chapter 45, Chapter 45
To be honest, Li Xia didn't know what Lao Wang wanted to do when he called.
See you at night, Ye Ming, the surrounding darkness has darkened, she couldn't help yawning, and the state of being so energetic and unable to sleep finally eased.
Indeed, after twelve o'clock, when it was time to go to bed early, Li Xia could have set the phone to silent, and lay back on the bed as if nothing had happened.Even waiting until the next day to return a text message to the other party, it seems that it is not too late.
But I don't know why, by some strange coincidence, the eldest lady pressed the dial button just like that.
"Hey?"
"It turned out to be really connected." The old Wang over there couldn't help smiling brightly, scratching his head: "I don't know why I wanted to call you, but I vaguely thought you would answer, so I called."
Hey hey hey, this is too metaphysical.The eldest lady couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"It's so late to talk about these boring things? I hung up the phone when I had nothing to do."
She stuck out her tongue, saying that's what she said, and after holding up the microphone for a while, she didn't have the slightest intention to hang up.
Old Wang chuckled: "It's nothing."
"Okay, then I hang up?"
"Don't, don't." The little boy couldn't help but panic, "Well, although there is nothing important, I returned to the capital smoothly. Anyway, it was not easy."
Li Xia finds it funny.
Indeed, the capital is thousands of kilometers away from Yecheng, and even by plane, it takes four or five hours, not to mention the large and small bags behind the back, the crowded flow of people, the hot summer, the sweat dripping from the forehead, everything adds up. Wake up, making the journey extra difficult.
It is often said that Spring Festival transportation is difficult, but in fact, the flow of people during the summer vacation is not much inferior to the large-scale return home tide during the Chinese New Year.
What's more, although the railway station in Yecheng has been rectified in recent years, and the sanitation and security have improved to a higher level, the airport has not yet been built.
If you want to take a flight, you have to cross the border of Yecheng and go to an airport on the outskirts of Longhao, which is adjacent to it. It can be said that there are many difficulties.
After this set of procedures, it is really difficult to learn from the West.
"I'm going back." The eldest lady pinched the microphone and said softly, "That's really good."
Old Wang stopped talking, hugged the phone, obviously he had nothing to talk about, but he just didn't hang up, just smirked there.
The laughing Lixia felt a little distressed.
The cross-server phone bill... is still very expensive.
