Chapter 619: Returning Home (Part II)
Everyone hugged Fang Yuan's family and walked towards the village.
When he entered the village, Fang Yuan found that it was not as good as what he saw outside.
Many of the old houses are completely deserted, ruined and overgrown with weeds.
Of course, there are some newly built houses, but overall there are not many.
So many people today don't all live in the village.
Father Fang walked into the village and looked all the way.
The entire Fangjia Village looks particularly decadent, like an old man in his twilight years.
"Doesn't it feel strange? In the past 40 years, the village has changed a lot, the landslide has destroyed many houses, everyone has moved out, and the village that originally had more than 100 households has now moved back with about 20 of us. An old man next to him said with emotion.
The old man has a clear figure, a bald head and a white beard, and he looks very energetic and tough.
"This is your Fourth Master, I'm afraid you don't remember, just call him Fourth Master. Grandma heard it next to her.
"Old sister, I don't pay attention to seniority now. Fang Siye said with a smile.
In fact, according to his generation, he is grandma's fourth uncle, so Dad Fang should call him the fourth master.
But he is more than ten years younger than his grandmother, so he calls his grandmother an old sister.
In short, the names in the countryside are very chaotic, some according to generation, some according to age, and even some according to habits.
For example, Fourth Master Fang was originally just a seniority name, but after a long time, no matter who it was, they all called him Fourth Master Fang.
"The village has changed, but the mountain will not change. At this time, an old man who had been holding his grandmother's hand since he entered the village said.
"This is your brother-in-law, and your eldest brother. Grandma pointed to a man next to her who was about the same age as Fang's father.
"If it weren't for your brother-in-law, there would be no family now. Grandma babbled.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law. Father Fang hurriedly said hello to them.
"All these years, why are you still talking about this, it's all gone, it's over. Uncle and grandfather said again and again.
Fang Yuan also carefully looked at the uncle and grandfather that his grandmother kept mentioning, although he was old, he could still see the similarities with his grandmother.
He has a thin body and short white hair, but his body is much tougher than his grandmother's, and he is full of energy when he speaks.
Everyone gathered around Fang Yuan's family to an empty and flat square, which was actually the threshing floor in the village, and Fang Yuan also saw a few stone stones and haystacks next to it.
The threshing floor in the countryside is not a concrete floor, but a muddy ground sprinkled with grass ash and then flattened with stones, so the ground is very smooth and delicate.
At this time, more than a dozen large round tables were placed on the threshing floor, and a layer of shade cloth was supported by bamboo poles, and a group of people were cooking on a fire not far away.
"I remember, I remember. Seeing the stone stone in the threshing floor, Fang's father finally had some memories.
When he was a child, he often came to the threshing floor with his eldest brother and second brother to play.
In the haystack next to it, there are often old hens laying eggs in it, and there is a curse saying called "you old hen who has lost eggs", which is from this.
So they often turn over the haystacks, and if they can pick up an egg, they will be happy for days.
This is also one of the few fond memories of Fang's father.
When they arrived at the threshing floor, the uncle officially introduced Fang Yuan's family to everyone, and also introduced some people to Fang Yuan's family.
The seven aunts and eight aunts, in short, are all people who were originally related to Fangjia Village, even with Fang Yuan's memory, they all have a feeling of dizziness.
The older generation didn't know Fang Yuan, but some people in the younger generation recognized him, such as the grandson and granddaughter of his uncle and grandfather, and the children of the eldest uncle.
One is called Huang Wenchu, the other is called Huang Wenting, the two of them are dragon and phoenix fetuses, and they are in the same year as Fang Xinya, especially Huang Wenting and Fang Xinya have a good relationship, and they also have contacts on weekdays.
Huang Wenting helped Fang Xinya put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and asked, "Your third uncle's son, is it really the Fang Yuan on TV?"
"I've already said it, it's that Fang Yuan, otherwise that Huang Limin from your village can come over and be busy?" Fang Xinya nodded in the direction of Huang Limin.
Huang Limin and Huang Wenchu were busy pouring tea for everyone.
Huang Limin and Huang Wenting are from the same village, of course she knows each other, even though she grew up in Quancheng, she grew up in Huangya Village when she was a child.
I usually come back to see my grandfather, so I am also familiar with Huang Limin, one of the legends in the village.
"With the help of Fangyuan, your family is out of the way. Huang Wenting sighed.
"Don't say this casually, it's easy to hurt feelings, and it makes you feel like we're greedy for the third uncle's money. Fang Xinya frowned when she heard this.
"That's what I'm telling you privately, but, with your cousin's current status, a casual leak under your hands is enough for your family to live. Huang Wenting continued.
"Okay, don't say this, it's his business to do what Fang Yuan is, let's just do our part. Fang Xinya said.
Huang Wenting didn't say anything more when she heard this.
Instead, he looked at Fang Yuan, who was not far away, and saw him squatting in front of a stone stone, watching several children climb around the stone stone.
His daughter-in-law stood behind him, smiling.
"That's your brother-in-law, I think she seems to be quite boring, I'll do these things, you go talk to her." Huang Wenting turned her head and said to the other party.
"Okay, I'll go take a look. Fang Xinya glanced up when she heard this, then put down the disposable dishes and chopsticks in her hand and walked over.
"Dad, I'm thirsty and I want to drink water. The little guy who was pushing the stone stone with Sister Jiajia suddenly said to Fang Yuan, who was squatting aside.
"Okay, I'll go get some water, but I'll tell you, you can't ride on a rock, it's so hot, you wear little shorts, and if you ride on it, your legs will turn into roast trotters. Fang Yuan explained.
"Know, know, you're the big pig. Not to be outdone, the little guy replied.
Fang Yuan stood up, turned around, and just saw Fang Xinya pulling Lan Caiyi and talking, so he said, "You take a few children, I'll go pour some water." ”
Fang Xinya and Lan Caiyi nodded when they heard this.
So Fang Yuan walked straight towards Father Fang and them.
Fang's father and Fang's mother, as well as uncles, grandmothers, uncles, grandfathers, and other people sat around a table and talked.
"Mom, Xinxin wants to drink water, is her little kettle here?" Fang Yuan nodded with everyone, and then asked the other party's mother.
"Oops, I forgot to take it just now and threw it in the car, you ask Liang Feibai to go to the car and get it. Fang's mother patted her head and said.
"I haven't drunk this cup yet, you can take it and give it to her first. Hearing this, Father Fang handed over the paper cup in front of his desk.
"Okay, let her drink first. Hearing this, Fang Yuan took it and turned around to walk back.
"Wait. Father Fang called out to him again.
"Take this watermelon and give it to the little one. ”
In the disposable plastic bowl in front of Fang's father's desk, there is a cut watermelon with a toothpick stuck on it.
Dad Fang picked up a toothpick and removed some watermelon seeds from the watermelon one by one.
"Dad, don't bother so much, she'll throw up herself. Fang Yuan was speechless.
As he was talking, Father Fang exerted too much force, and a piece of watermelon was directly removed from the bowl by him and rolled on the table.
Father Fang didn't want to think about it, grabbed it, stood up, and said again and again: "Hurry, hurry up......"
Then without waiting for Fang Yuan to speak, he stuffed it directly into his mouth.
"Dad, what are you doing, how unhygienic. Fang Yuan swallowed the watermelon and said speechlessly.
"Haha, I'm sorry, I always treat you as a child. ”
"When you were a child, did you pick up what you dropped on the table and give it to me?"
"What's this, your dad and I are clean people, what falls on the table will be eaten for you, and what falls on the ground will definitely not be given to you to eat. ”
The whole table laughed.
Only Fang Yuan stood there alone, not knowing whether to laugh or not.
Fang's mother picked up the watermelon in front of Fang's father's table and handed it to him: "Okay, don't listen to your father, bring the watermelon to Xinxin to eat, and besides, the things on the table are not dirty, it's better than treating as a ...... when you were a child."
"Mom, can we not talk about this. Fang Yuan hurriedly picked up the watermelon and ran.
It's really my father and mother......
