Chapter 56: A Pig Covered with Gold
Yu Dazhuang started as a civil builder, and this self-built villa is almost the culmination of his architectural experience. However, unlike the luxury and sophistication of urban villas, this self-built house with a large yard has a strong rural character.
The ditch in front of the door and the back of the mountain, there are fields and vegetable fields on the side, this style tastes, with a strong Yu color. Relaxing, cozy.
The one who helped Yu Jia guard the house was a middle-aged woman named Yu Ying. Yu Xiuxiu called her aunt, but Yu Ying and their family were only distant relatives.
When he was young, Yu Da Zhuang grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and after Yu Da Zhuang made a fortune, he also did everything possible to feed back to the villagers.
The road leading to the town in Yujia Village was widened by Yu Dazhuang at his own waist. At first, it was a loess road, which was muddy every time it rained, and the cement road that was later built with funds was also very narrow, making it difficult to drive. Yu Dazhuang didn't say a word, and directly led the engineering team to widen the road.
Yu Ying has never been married in her life, has no children or daughters, and is single. After Yu's family went to Shencheng, the house was handed over to her to live and take care of, and Yu Dazhuang often gave her some money in the name of subsidizing the family. Yu Ying is also diligent and keeps the house clean and tidy inside and out.
Because of this, there were some rumors in the village, but Yu Dazhuang didn't hear it.
Yu Ying knew that they were coming back, cooked a meal, and sat on the flower platform of the Yu family and waited.
As soon as the car approached, she quickly opened the garage door.
"It's back, and the road is going well, right?"
Yu Xiuxiu jumped out of the car, "It's going well." ”
She helped her parents take down their luggage, and handed a bag to Yu Ying by the way, "Auntie, this is a gift for you." There are clothes in it, and you go back and try it to see if it fits. ”
Yu Ying smiled with a wrinkled face: "Ouch, buy me clothes again." I have enough clothes to wear, don't waste money. ”
Yu Xiuxiu grinned: "No waste, no waste, the boss has money - auntie, let me introduce you to you." It's mine...... Brother Zhong Nan. Brother, this is Aunt Yu, you can call your aunt. ”
Huo Zhongnan was helping with his luggage, and turned around when he heard the words.
"Auntie. ”
He is not used to greeting people, and this is to make an exception for Yu Xiu. Unexpectedly, when Yu Ying saw him, his originally smiling face suddenly froze, as if he was frightened, and he looked at him blankly, and he didn't react for a long time.
"Auntie!?" Yu Xiuxiu laughed, "It's over!" Auntie is also fascinated by her brother. Brother, your appearance is too good. 10 to 80 years old......"
Of course, Yu Ying is not eighty years old.
In fact, she is two years younger than Miao Rui, but she is of high seniority, lives in the countryside all the year round, and looks old.
Yu Xiuxiu's laughter woke her up.
"This young man is good-looking, good-looking. ”
Yu Ying smiled awkwardly, holding the bag given by Yu Xiuxiu in her arms, looking restrained and nervous. No one noticed the change in her expression, even Yu Xiuxiu thought that she was just not used to contact people, and Zhong Nan was the kind of man with a strong aura and a sense of coldness, and her aunt must have been frightened.
A group of people laughed and walked inside.
"Meow!"
A black cat was caught in the crack of the door, frightened, and suddenly jumped up. Yu Ying kicked over, and the black cat was startled and ran away.
Huo Zhongnan glanced at her and didn't say anything.
......
Yu's family was hospitable, and the car drove from the east end of the village to the west end of the village, and many villagers followed along the way. Miao Rui moved the table and stools at home to the yard, set up melon seeds, peanuts and candy, and invited everyone to eat tea and chat.
Neighborhoods in the countryside do not have the same distinct sense of boundaries as in the city.
Soon, the courtyard was full.
Miao Rui took out the red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago and distributed them when she saw the children and her new daughter-in-law. It doesn't matter who it is, there are all of them.
Yu's family is not stingy and is very popular in the village.
Therefore, soon some people gossiped about the Tang family.
Tang Wenji's family arrived earlier than them and stayed at the old village chief's house.
In the eyes of the villagers, Tang Wenji is a leader or a high-ranking cadre, and he is an upper-level person who is difficult for them to look forward to, although Tang Wenji often says that he is a native of Yujia Village, but it is the first time to come back for the New Year, and everyone is naturally rare and enthusiastic.
The village is so big, and the surname Yu accounts for six or seven percent, all of them are related to each other, and whoever has something to do with it can spread immediately.
Therefore, even if Wei Siliang can't find a place to sew and hide, he can't prepare Tang Lihua's eighteen fancy braggings from big cities to small villages - the husband of the chairman of the bank, the son of a financial genius, and the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, she has covered her body with gold.
The villagers don't understand how good the Huo family is......
So Tang Lihua gave examples of several landmark buildings in major cities, and took out her mobile phone on the spot to point out a few commonly used apps, and everyone understood.
In the information age, there are few secrets.
Everyone looked up to her family, but in private, it was not worth it for Yu to take a break.
"I think that girl from the Huo family is not very good. It's not as good as our rest. ”
"Ho! In these ten miles and eight villages, which family's daughter is Xiuxiu and good-looking?"
"I've never seen anything from south to north. ”
"Xuning and Xiu Xiu were originally quite compatible. Talented men and women are ......"
“......”
Yu Xiuxiu wanted to cover his face.
- Is she nothing but good-looking?
I don't want to be compared with Tang Xuning Wei Siliang, and I'm even more afraid that any words will accidentally drift into Huo Zhongnan's ears. Yu Xiuxiu hurriedly called away the scumbag brother and Huo Zhongnan and went to hang the lantern together.
"Brother, don't listen to their nonsense. These people like to add fuel to the fire. ”
Huo Zhongnan was silent.
Yu Xiuxiu paused, "I don't have a deep relationship with Tang Xuning. At that time, I was studying, and it was rare to meet once, and I finally graduated, and... Divided. ”
Huo Zhongnan glanced at her, "He is not worthy of you." ”
Yu Xiuxiu looked proud, "That's." ”
Yu Jiazhou carried a lantern and handed it to Huo Zhongnan, "Brother, you are tall, you come to hang it!"
Huo Zhongnan hung the lantern, and he was in charge of chatting, "Is the Huo family so awesome?"
Yu Xiuxiu: "...... Of course, if you weren't so scummy, one would be able to top our boss by thousands. But if the character is not good, it will not work. ”
Huo Zhongnan's eyelids jumped.
Yu Jiazhou: "Brother Xuning...... No, Tang Xuning found a girlfriend of the Huo family, and his mother's farts are about to rise to the sky. What's the big deal? Is the Huo family a gold-inlaid pig?"
Huo Zhongnan lowered his eyelids.
Yu Xiuxiu: "Don't worry about other people's affairs." Hey, brother, this lantern should be hung a little higher! ”
There were many trees in the yard, and Yu Xiuxiu had to decorate them all. Not only did I buy lanterns, but I also bought back the lanterns, and I had to rely on my own hands to put up the lanterns-
"Hugh. ”
Yu Ying called her at the door.
"Hey, auntie, what's the matter?"
"You can help me take a look. ”
"It's coming!"
Yu Xiuxiu washed his hands and followed Yu Ying into the room.
Helping the Yu family guard the house for so long, Yu Ying refused to live in the main house, and always lived in a side room next to the kitchen. This place was originally used by Da Zhuang to stack farm tools, but the light is not good and the place is narrow. There was only a wardrobe, a bed, and a dressing mirror attached to the wall.
"Is it pretty?"
Yu Ying wore the new clothes that Yu Xiuxiu bought, and asked Yu Xiuxiu to give her a staff officer.
"Beautiful. Yu Xiuxiu didn't expect her to care about her clothes, so she helped her straighten it and comb her hair, "Auntie, when you were young, you were also very good-looking." ”
Yu Ying smiled: "It's not as good-looking as your mother." ”
"My mom is a hanger. Not count!" Yu Xiuxiu has always been very confident in Miao Rui's appearance, and after saying it unashamedly, he found that Yu Ying didn't understand, and laughed again.
"Auntie, at that time, did many people pursue you, but you didn't fancy any of them?"
These words were the jokes she heard from Miao Rui's mouth.
Unexpectedly, when Yu Ying heard this, her face suddenly changed.
She looked at herself in the mirror and shook her head.
"Nobody pursued me. ”
"???" Yu Xiuxiu did not live in that era and did not understand the people of that era. Seeing that my aunt was not very happy, she stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Yu Ying pulled her clothes, she didn't know whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied, she sorted out her collar repeatedly, and then leaned closer to the mirror to look at the white hair on the top of her head, and asked coldly.
"Do you know Zhao Xuanxuan?"
"Zhao Xuanxuan?" Yu Xiuxiu was vaguely impressed.
But I can't remember where I heard it, and I don't quite know who he is.
"What's wrong, auntie?"
Yu Ying was stunned, "It's nothing...... Hugh Xiu, isn't this dress too tender for my age? ”
"No, I can't. You see my mother's clothes, they all look young. Auntie, you look good in this. Rest assured, I have a good eye. Yu Xiuxiu pushed her shoulder, "Let's go, let's go, it's the New Year, go out and chat with them, don't be bored in the room alone." ”
In Yu Xiuxiu's impression, Yu Ying never chatted with the women in the village. In fashionable parlance, she's a bit aloof. Her daily life, in addition to work, is in a daze.
Sure enough, when she walked out of the room, she didn't go to the courtyard to join in the fun, but walked to Yu Jiazhou and Huo Zhongnan, who were hanging lanterns.
After being stunned for a while, he suddenly spoke.
"What's your last name, young man?"
Huo Zhongnan turned his head and looked at her quietly.
The black cat, who had stolen a crucian carp from nowhere, happened to pounce on the windowsill.
Huo Zhongnan didn't move, but Yu Ying was so frightened that he took a step back.
She looked at Huo Zhongnan's eyes, extremely uneasy.
"Do you know Zhao Xuan?"
The warmth in the courtyard was a little low, and Huo Zhongnan watched the two white hairs on her sideburns flutter in the wind.
He slowly picked up a lantern, turned it back, and gently tied it to the branch of the osmanthus tree.
"I don't know. ”
