Chapter 226: Returning Home
The 250-kilometer journey is not far away, and it is not close to it, because it is cold and he does not dare to run too fast, Xiao Nan did not return to his hometown Y County until almost five o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as she drove DIOZ4 into the small street where she was located, she saw that the two rows of pomegranate trees planted along the street were full of red lanterns, and I don't know whose kitchen exhaust fan was blowing the smell of fried meat and fish on the street, and a group of little children laughed and set off firecrackers on the street, and the sound of firecrackers highlighted the strong taste of the Spring Festival.
Coming to the big red painted iron gate of his house, Xiao Nan got out of the car and rang the doorbell, and it didn't take long to hear a deep man's voice from the yard: "Who?"
Just by listening to the voice, you know that it must be my father Cheng Weiguo. "Dad, it's me, Xiao Nan, open the door quickly......" Although no familiar neighbors walked by, Xiao Nan deliberately lowered her voice, for fear that someone would occasionally snoop on her secret. Fortunately, her voice was small enough for the people inside to hear, and a series of steady footsteps came, and then the door was unlocked with a click, and the door opened from the inside.
"Why did you come back Chinese New Year's Eve......" Lao Cheng's tone seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but in fact, his true mood was undoubtedly revealed on his smiling face.
"We still go to work in the morning, I will rush back at noon, the weather is too cold to dare to run fast, and the national highways are jammed with traffic, I am really depressed to death......" Xiao Nan explained while pushing DIOZ4 into the yard and parking it next to the wall, untying the rubber rope and untying those large bags and small boxes of things from the car, Lao Cheng closed the gate and came over to help Xiao Nan take them one by one and put them on the small stone table in the yard. "How can you buy so many things?" Lao Cheng asked, "There is nothing missing at home, don't spend money indiscriminately in the future." β
"It's not a reckless spending!" Xiao Nan defended: " This dried red date is bought for my mother, can nourish the body, beauty and beauty; this down jacket is for you, the big red one is just to wear for the New Year, it looks festive, these bottles of wine are the year-end benefits issued by our company, I know that you usually like to drink two cups, I will bring it back to you, but you can't drink more, drink a little bit every day is good for the body; this small box is for my sister-in-law to bring beauty and skin care products, is a product made by one of my customers, I saw that the introduction is good and bought some, that is my brother's, this is also ......"
When the father and daughter were talking and unloading things under the car, the cotton curtain in the kitchen was lifted, and Xiao Nan's mother came out of it with an apron wiping her hands. "Yo, it's my daughter who is back, come and let Mom take a look......"
"Momββββ" Xiao Nan flattened her mouth in protest, but the protest was ineffective, Li Chunhua came up and pulled Xiao Nan around a few times, and looked her carefully up and down, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and she couldn't close her mouth happily: "Well, it's really worthy of being my daughter, I haven't seen her for a few months, and she looks better and better......"
Xiao Nan was embarrassed, and finally got rid of her mother's entanglement, and fled to the house with the big bag and small box in her hand, put all kinds of gifts for the family in the living room, and only carried the suitcase to her bedroom, and pushed open the bedroom door Xiao Nan was stupid, originally her bedroom was not occupied for a long time, and a lot of sundries were piled up, and the furniture and furnishings also maintained the appearance when she left home after graduating from high school to go to college in Z City, but now it has completely changed, and she can't recognize it!
The walls of the room were completely painted with light beige paint, and although the furniture was still the same as before, it was repainted with a layer of light beige paint, and even the windows were repainted, and the curtains were replaced with light pink veils, which were decorated with layers of intricate hollow ruffles; The pillowcase three-piece set is made of light pink, so that the whole room looks pink and tender, plus a new dresser of the same color as other homes next to the desk, as well as two huge bobcat plush dolls placed at the head of the bed, which makes people see at a glance that this is a girl's boudoir.
Xiao Nan stood at the door a little stupid. "This, this, this...... How so!!"
"How's it going? "This is what your dad and I spent more than a week rearranging, just to wait for you to come back for the New Year to live, see if you like it?"
"Momββββββββββββ!" Xiao Nan felt that she was about to go crazy: "You guys are going to make a fuss like that! forget the curtain with ruffles, and the bed curtain...... And what's going on with those two bobcat dolls, hey!"
"What's the matter, you don't like it?" Xiao Nan's mother's eyes showed obvious disappointment. "This is all planned by your sister-in-law, the curtains and bed curtains were also picked up by her and me on the street, and the two lynx dolls were also bought by your sister-in-law to give you, I thought you would be very happy to see it, but who knew that you actually reacted like this, hey, it's really sad......"
"Momββββ" Xiao Nan's heart softened again when she saw her mother's disappointed look, and she shook her mother's arm and comforted softly: "Mom, I didn't mean that...... In fact, this room is very well decorated...... Nice to look ......"
"Really?" Xiao Nan's mother immediately became happy when she heard her "daughter" say this: "Do you really think it looks good? Then why did you look very reluctant just now?"
"Uh...... What ...... this" Xiao Nan was embarrassed to disappoint her mother, after all, her parents usually have to go to work, especially her mother is very busy as a doctor, and the old couple used their spare time to make her room look new, even if there is no credit, there is still hard work. "Mom, I actually mean ......" she thought to herself the most appropriate wording: "I'm so old, and the hues in the room are so pink, it's really ...... It's not suitable, this style of room is only suitable for the kind of fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, I'm twenty-three, and this kind of too pink color really doesn't match......"
"Oh......" Xiao Nan's mother nodded as if she was suddenly open, and seemed to accept Xiao Nan's opinion: "After you say this, it seems that the color matching is indeed a little too pink...... If you really don't like it, why don't we change the whole set of sheets and quilts first, and wait until the New Year, and Mom will buy you another set of suitable colors......"
Anyway, it has come to this, even if Xiao Nan no longer likes the color of the room, she can only stare dryly, so she has to enter the room hard, take out her change of clothes and clothes in her bag and stuff it into the cabinet, Xiao Nan's mother went to the cabinet and took an old three-piece bed set over, and replaced the pink set with Xiao Nan. At this time, the doorbell rang outside, followed by Cheng Xiaosong and sister-in-law An An's door: "Dad, Mom! We're back, hurry up and open the door!"
Lao Cheng originally took over from his wife to fry ribs in the kitchen, and when he heard the doorbell and the shouts of his son and daughter-in-law, he put down the fence in his hand and went out to open the courtyard door.
"Hmm...... It's so fragrant!" As soon as An An entered the door, he smelled the aroma of fried ribs in the kitchen: "Dad, what are you doing delicious, it smells hungry!"
"Frying ribs!" Lao Cheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw An An like this. Since An An and Xiao Song have been married for two years, he has completely regarded An An as his own daughter. "The ribs can't be eaten until dinner, you guys go to the house first to warm up, Xiao Nan has just arrived home......"
"Ha, the second girl is also back!" The husband and wife immediately became excited when they heard it, Cheng Xiaosong originally planned to go to the kitchen to pinch two ribs and share them with his wife, but this time the ribs were not eaten, and he picked up a plastic bag full of snacks and walked to the hall, just walked to the middle of the yard, only to see the cotton curtain of the hall house lifted, and a slender girl came out of it, and immediately laughed when she saw the two of them, and two charming dimples appeared on her baby-fat face.
"Brother, sister-in-law!" Xiao Nan called affectionately, and ran over to help An An carry the plastic bag, but An An handed the bag in his hand to Xiao Song to carry, grabbed Xiao Nan's hands, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is back!
"Yes...... What's so nice to see......" Xiao Nan felt furious when she saw An An like this, and hurriedly wanted to withdraw her hand, but An An held it tightly, and she pulled her left and right, and looked up and down.
"Yes, I'm getting more and more like a big girl, and I can get married in two years!" An An nodded with satisfaction and gave her appraisal report: "Do you want your sister-in-law to introduce you to a good guy?"
"I-just-no-want-ββ!" Xiao Nan was not happy when she heard it, and flattened her mouth and pulled her hand back. "Sister-in-law, you are making fun of me again, how can I ......?"
In fact, An An just wanted to tease Xiao Nan and joke with her, seeing Xiao Nan's embarrassed look and feeling funny, she refused to let go, and Xiao Nan was not good at breaking free with force, so she had to look at her brother with a blank eye, counting on Xiao Song to relieve her. "Brotherββββ you are in charge of your sister-in-law!"
Cheng Xiaosong's eyes rolled, with a helpless expression: "I can't control her, you two are making trouble here, I'll go to the kitchen to eat pork ribs~"
"Hey, don't go, Cheng Xiaosong! You still don't care about your wife, oops......" Xiao Nan was shouting at Xiao Song, and was unexpectedly eaten tofu by his sister-in-law, An An smiled evilly and said: "Sister-in-law, you just shout, even if you shout your throat, no one will come to save you!"
"Are women born with lily tendencies?" Komatsu said with a shrug of helplessness, and then plunged headlong into the kitchen......
