Chapter 505: Chinese New Year
The sound of a uniform whistle drowned out the sound of firecrackers in the fishing village not far away.
But the emotions mixed in the voice, at such a moment, do not represent the joy of the New Year.
Seabirds flew over the convoy, dotted with birdsong.
Ren Dahua opened the passenger door, and his body trembled slightly and walked to the edge of the road step by step.
He fell to his knees, and the tearful face was a pathos that no one could fully understand.
Ren Yan stood silently behind his father, and he couldn't see his father's expression at this time.
But he could see his father's trembling hands.
There was a slight whimper in my father's voice.
As far as my father could see, it was the direction in which he and his brother had gone to sea many years ago.
Who would have thought that the two would go together that year......
Come back again,
It's a farewell.
……
The fishing village is still the same, even if Ren Yan has not returned for a long time, the road at the entrance of the village and the wind in his hometown are the same as he remembers.
In a steel forest made of steel made of reinforced concrete, two years is enough time to change the appearance of a place, due to the rapid urban development.
Development represents vitality, although this kind of development is indeed going in a good direction, but in Ren Yan's heart, he still likes to be born in a fishing village here and grow up in a county town.
Because this is where he is rooted.
When more than a dozen Mercedes-Benz convoys entered the village, the villagers exploded.
"What's going on?"
"Wow, are you here to do something?"
"It doesn't look like it, what can we do in the poor countryside? It's impossible to drive a Mercedes Benz to buy fish, right?"
"Huh...... The co-pilot of the first car, why does it look so familiar?"
The convoy drove towards the village.
Although Ren Dahua moved to the county seat with his family, the old house was an object that could not be taken away.
It's not like in the city, where you can sell your house if you don't live in it. Most of the houses in the countryside are repaired at their own expense, and most of them do not have real estate certificates. Putting aside this reason, the term second-hand housing does not exist in the vast majority of rural areas.
My family's old house and uncle's house are all here now.
It's just that after so many years, although Ren Dahua will occasionally come back to find someone to repair it, the old house is now uninhabitable.
The convoy stopped outside the Ren family's old house.
At this time, the villagers who followed the convoy to watch the excitement finally dared to determine the identity of the person sitting in the first car, and also determined what the convoy was here for.
"That's not ...... Dahua!"
After the exclamations sounded, the villagers recognized Ren Dahua, who had already opened the door and got out of the car.
"Dahua, are you back?" The village party secretary, who had been following the convoy, walked forward with a smile on his face.
Ren Dahua's mood has long since recovered, but his eyes are still a little red.
He smiled: "Brother Zeng, you're back." ”
The two shook hands.
"Where's Xiao Yanzi?" the village party secretary, who was called Brother Zeng, smiled and patted Ren Dahua on the shoulder and asked.
"......" Ren Dahua glanced at Ren Yan who was closing the car door.
Ren Yan smiled politely.
"Good boy, our whole village has watched your live broadcast on the central station before!" the village party secretary laughed.
There are people talking constantly.
"The old Ren family has a good future, and the faces of our whole village are all stained!"
"Ren Yan, this guy can be regarded as a glorious ancestor. ”
"Haha, I didn't expect Xiao Yanzi to go back to his hometown to have a look. ”
"Xiao Yanzi was born back then, but I hugged it! As soon as I hugged this kid, I peed on my face! Haha! At that time, I thought that this kid was born with such a high urine, and he would definitely have a chance in the future! But otherwise!"
Ren Yan looked at these villagers, who were familiar or unfamiliar, and felt some emotion in his heart.
Unlike Ren Dahua, who comes back almost once a year, the last time Ren Yan came back was before he went to college.
"Uncle Wang, what are you talking about......" Listening to the words of "pee on the face" from the person who witnessed his birth back then, Ren Yan coughed dryly.
"That's it, old Wangtou, Xiao Yanzi is an adult now, how embarrassing it is for you to say that......" someone said with a smile.
"It's not ......," Ren Yan hurriedly explained: "It's just Uncle Wang...... I didn't pee on your face at the time, my mom said I peed on your chest. ”
The crowd laughed.
The atmosphere among the villagers in the fishing village has always been very harmonious, unlike some villages where there may be all kinds of bad things.
The people of the fishing village have been fishing for a living.
Because they often go to sea together, the relationship between the people in the village is much better than that of ordinary neighbors.
It was originally a day of celebration, and for the villagers of the fishing village, Ren Yan's return added to the joy of the festival.
For all the villagers in the fishing village, although the Ren family moved out of the village many years ago, they are still here.
Just as Ren Yan felt that this was his root.
Ren Yan's various undertakings in the past six months, whether he became a star or moved the Celestial Empire on Station C, the people in the village know it.
Although Ren Yan didn't give anything to the village, for everyone, Ren Yan was indeed their pride.
After a short conversation, the village party secretary invited Ren Yan and others to his house as guests.
Many people went with them.
Ren Yan listened to his father and some people in the village talking about the events of the year, the recent changes in the village, and the sluggish fishing industry.
From time to time, someone would talk to Ren Yan and ask Ren Yan some questions, and Ren Yan would also talk to everyone with a smile.
Ren Yan, who did not have the slightest celebrity shelf, made everyone present have a sense of affinity in their hearts.
After all, this is the one who walked out of their fishing village.
While listening to the adults chatting and occasionally saying a few words, Ren Yan was also thinking about other things in his heart.
Before the accident, the Ren family was in an atmosphere of mutual help in the fishing village.
And after the accident, if it weren't for the people in the village, the fishing boat at home alone wouldn't have gone out so quickly.
Although everyone didn't have much money at that time, and although everyone had to support their families, some non-material help was often more heartwarming.
Ren Yan felt that he should do something for the village.
For him now, a small effort can change the face of the entire village.
After chatting for more than an hour, Ren Dahua saw that the time was almost up, and put forward the main thing about coming back this time.
Because Ren Dahua would come back almost every year, he would go to Uncle Ren Yan's tomb with a bottle of wine.
The people in the village knew what Ren Dahua was going to do.
However, this year, there are many more people in front of the uncle's grave than in previous years.
Poured a glass of wine, and Ren Dahua placed it in front of the tomb.
He whispered something and kept talking for a long time.
The others watched silently from behind.
Ren Yan was beside Ren Dahua, and he was also watching.
Seeing his father smiling and smiling, the smile gradually disappeared, and he was stunned, and tears fell silently.
"Dad, if you want to drink, drink some. Ren Yan opened the lid of the bottle of Feitian Moutai, which was only poured into one cup, and handed it to his father.
Jiang Xiuhua didn't like usual, when she saw Ren Dahua drinking, she directly slipped her slippers and mops and threw anything in Ren Dahua's face.
She was silently choking back tears.
Ren Dahua glanced at Ren Yan stunned, then nodded and took the wine handed by Ren Yan.
"I promise you won't drink with your mother......" Although the wine was taken, Ren Dahua muttered this sentence and did not drink.
"Have a drink. Ren Yan took the bottle back again.
Most of the members of the Zhuanghan group did not take a vacation during the Spring Festival this year, although Ren Yan gave them the condition of paid leave, most of the people in the gang stayed except for a few people who had not returned home for several years.
Xue Feng handed Ren Yan two wine glasses.
Fill it for yourself, fill it for your father, Ren Yan handed the cup to his father.
He just didn't want his father to look so uncomfortable.
"Have a drink, I'll be with you. ”
After Ren Yan finished speaking, he drank the clarified wine in the cup in one gulp.
Ren Dahua shook his head and nodded again.
Took a small sip.
He touched the cup in front of the grave and poured the wine on the ground.
Took another sip.
Then poured a little more on the ground.
Take another sip.
It was like clinking glasses with the air and drinking, a small glass of wine, and Ren Dahua finally drank it.
"If your uncle is still here, such a good wine, he can die happily, right?" Ren Dahua said this, shook his head, and stood up.
Ren Yan was silent.
Firecrackers went off.
The firelight exploded along the firecrackers.
When the smoke cleared, Ren Dahua looked at the tombstone and wiped his eyes.
……
In the evening, there is a Spring Festival Gala held by the villagers in the village.
On the live stage, in addition to the performance team invited by the village, the village also has its own programs.
Accompanying the family to watch the "Village Evening" below, Ren Yan felt very comfortable.
From time to time, I talked to people I knew before, listened to my mother and the aunts and aunts in the village chatting about the past, and looked at Ren Dahua's smiling face because of the show.
That's probably happiness.
The village evening starts at five o'clock in the afternoon and ends at half past eight in the evening.
Because next, everyone will collectively watch this year's C Station Spring Festival Gala here, and after that, everyone in the village will also have a collective Chinese New Year's Eve dinner here.
Ren Yan took the initiative to invite Ying, and before the end of the village evening, he performed the last show.
sang a festive song that was sung in the Celestial Empire to the extent that everyone had heard.
When entering the link of watching the Spring Festival Gala of station C, Ren Yan found the village party secretary and talked about some things.
The best way he decided to help the fishing village was to start financially.
It is not that each household is directly given money, but that the village, whose main source of income is the fishing industry, can get the most benefit in this regard.
Ren Yan directly promised to provide the village with a batch of the latest fishing boats and equipment in the form of "rental", which is free of charge, but half of the fishing results of each household can only be sold to the Dahua supermarket chain.
The purchase price of fishery products will be higher than the market price.
In addition, Ren Yan also decided to build a new primary school in the fishing village, so that the children in the village no longer have to go to school in the countryside a little further away.
When he had just finished chatting, Ren Dahua came to Ren Yan's side mysteriously.
"Ren Yan, is the glass of wine you gave me before the rabbit cub fake?"
