Chapter Ninety-Nine: Longkou Village
On August 21, 1978, both the Hong and Shou families got up early in the morning. Vertices are updated the fastest
Last night, because Wang Yunlin and her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law had already packed up all the things they wanted to bring in advance. This morning, the Shou family and the son came on time again, and they didn't delay any extra work. Everyone sat around the Hong family's hall and had breakfast.
Wait until Hong Yanwu tied, and tied things up on the three wheels. Everyone ate and drank enough, put the dishes and chopsticks, and handed them over to Hong Yanzheng and his wife, who were in charge of the housekeeping, and they all got on the tricycle.
At six o'clock in the morning, as if they were about to move, the two tricycles left Furuli together and went straight out of the city in the direction of Caihuying.
Longkou Village is a place in the capital that was and is not very famous in the past.
The village is not large, with only about 300 households. The road is remote and extremely difficult to walk.
Out of the Caihu camp, first wear Changyang, cross Majiagou, then pass through Zhugezhuang, and then pedal the tricycle and have to walk for half a day.
Not to mention the wilderness along the way, it is full of potholed loess roads. Compared with today's highways, national highways, and asphalt roads, which are wide and straight, they are simply two worlds.
However, most of people's behavior is governed by their mood, and it is precisely because of the high level of interest in this trip. Even if it is swaying all the way, it is also laughing all the way and walking happily.
What's more, at this time, it is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and all kinds of melons and fruits have begun to go off the market, and there are traces of melon fields and orchards along the way. Give a few money, take the water in the kettle and flush it, and you can eat watermelon, peaches, plums, pears, dates, and grapes openly.
In this way, eating and drinking is not boring, and at ten o'clock that day, we arrived at our destination.
When I entered the village, in addition to the lean yellow dog of Yuntai's family, many people also came out from all walks of life.
Two carts pulling home furnishings and an old man and an old lady are neither like they have come to settle down, nor are they certainly educated youths. Who wouldn't want to come out and see what was going on?
So Yuntai didn't stop explaining to people all the way, and shouted all the way to the door. The village with a bigger fart basically knows that Yuntai brought relatives from the capital to visit the house, and it has reached a level of household name.
Of course, there are many girls and boys who are curious and have been watching the excitement and chasing them to the gate of the courtyard. Waiting for Yuntai's guests to get out of the car, they were still looking at the furnishings on the car without turning their eyes.
Wang Yunlin asked Hong Yanwu to take out some candy and share them with these children.
The children in the village were ashamed, blushing one by one and taking the candy, and they were embarrassed to say the word "thanks", so they ran away. But they stood up again from afar, and looked back while eating candy, watching Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan unload things from the car.
By this time, Andaniel had already come out. This meeting both surprised her and caught her off guard.
Originally, Yuntai did not return overnight, and Zhaoqing was locked in the house again. She felt sorry for her son, but she was also afraid that her husband would be hungry, thirsty, tired, or encounter something in the capital.
I've been really nervous since last night. In the morning, I didn't have the heart to do anything except cook a bowl of porridge for my son.
And when I suddenly saw my husband returning home with so many guests, was there anyone who didn't faint?
She didn't know what to say, she didn't know what to do, and she didn't even know where to put her hands and feet. Only the tears fell.
This made Yuntai a little embarrassed.
He was embarrassed to tell everyone at first, don't be surprised. comforted his wife a few more words, and then introduced it, so that Andanier could meet her relatives.
However, don't look at An Daniel as just a rural woman who has not seen her, but when they met for the first time, Wang Yunlin was very satisfied with this white and neat little sister-in-law.
His appearance is not very beautiful, but he is gentle and dignified, and he is more than ten years younger than Yun Tae-lai.
The temperament is even more plain and easy-going. There is no exaggerated enthusiasm for treating people, but it is kind and natural.
Such a person is most in line with her temperament.
Especially after a few words of greeting, after being let into the house, she found that although the house was shabby, it was spotlessly clean.
On the back wall of the table where the legs are connected, there is a picture of Nanshan picking chrysanthemums with Danqing ink pen from Yuntai's hand.
The teapots and bowls on the table are all coarse porcelain. It is also polished brightly, all kinds of things are placed in a very good place, and the furnishings are also in place.
This is enough to see that Andaniel is a very capable person.
The most important thing is Andanier's attitude towards Yuntai.
Not to mention his tenderness, dependence, and joy when he saw Yoon-tae, they all came from the heart.
Even went into the house to boil water and fetch water, listening to Yuntai's assignment like an uncle, and serving everyone to wipe their faces, wash their hands, and drink tea so willingly.
This kind of suppleness and obedience, even she is ashamed of herself, that is never to let Yuntai suffer the slightest grievance, only her own share.
I have to say that a down-and-out person like Yuntai, who has been adrift for half his life, can have such a home when he is old, it is really the ancestors who accumulate virtue, and God will give him such a good blessing.
So out of gratitude, Wang Yunlin hurriedly took Hong Yanru to help, and thanked Da Nier for taking care of her brother over the years.
In this way, after a few words, the sister-in-law became really close. It's as if they knew each other 800 years ago.
The same is true of Zhaoqing, who is locked up.
After he was released by his father, before he could go out to greet his elders, he was dumbfounded when he saw Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
Yoon-tae knew his feelings very well, so he first told his son that they were actually cousins.
At this moment, Zhaoqing is simply stunned. It's unbelievable to get home.
It took a long time for him to react and exhale lightly.
"I only now believe that it means not to be a family, not to enter a family. ”
Hong Yanwu deliberately squeezed his eyes, "Cousin, you have sent eggs so many times, and I haven't entertained you for a meal, but you are lazy......"
In a word, everyone laughed.
At this time, Zhaoqing kowtowed to the elders separately.
In terms of titles, other people are also ordinary, but Zhaoqing does not call Wang Yunlin "aunt", but calls her "aunt father", which makes her stunned.
Because this is a unique way of addressing the Banner family, the Banner people often masculinize the names of the elders and women in the family to show respect, just as Guangxu called Cixi "his father".
And soon Wang Yunlin thought that this was about Yuntai often saying in front of his son how your aunt and father were, and he naturally called him "aunt and father".
Sure enough, Zhaoqing then said that his father almost missed "Aunt Dad" every Mid-Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year's Eve, and he didn't tell him about "Aunt Dad" when he was a child.
He knew that "Aunt Dad" read well, and she was a talented girl in "Beiman Girls' Middle School".
He also knew that "Auntie" Cheng Pai Tsing Yi also sang very well, which was completely enough for Ge'er to sing on stage.
But if relatives and friends come to the house, they will never leave if they can't hear "Aunt Daddy" sing the "Spring and Autumn Pavilion" in "Lock Scale Sac", and they will never leave......
This remark immediately brought down Wang Yunlin's tears. Yuntai was also in tears.
And when Hong Yanwu pursed his lips and muttered, "Hey, Mom, why don't I even know about these things", everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Yes, after decades of brother and sister separation, there is little news, who can not worry and not worry?
It can be seen that these two brothers and sisters have survived day and night for so many years.
It's a reunion, it's really a reunion!
It's just that just when Yuntai's family was the warmest and most harmonious, Secretary An's family had a earth-shaking event.
An Taiyang, the eldest nephew of Secretary An, saw the scene of Yuntai and others returning to the village, and didn't understand what was going on, so he rushed to Secretary An's house to report the news.
And because the tricycle was pulling the family belongings, there was also Hong Yanru, a fifteen-year-old girl. This kid was actually whimsical, and told the An family purely speculatively that Yuntai probably wanted Zhaoqing to go to the city to study, and he made the decision to negotiate family affairs for his son, which was directly pulling the bride price and bringing someone to the door.
Secretary An was quite stable when he heard it, because even so, it was within the acceptable range for him.
But An Xiaoqin was different, she was in a hurry at the time, and she was about to flow down when she saw tears swirling.
But then, the words she wanted to ask didn't come out yet. Worse happened, and she somehow became disgusted.
Then he covered his mouth and ran outside, vomiting uncontrollably. Lying in the corner for a long time, it was really a good vomit before it was over.
This time, not only did Xiaoqin's mother, who chased after her, see that her color changed, but Secretary An in the house also turned green.
He slapped the table on the spot and gritted his teeth.
"Zhaoqing, this bastard, what the hell did it!"
After that, Secretary An's family naturally did not stop.
As soon as Xiaoqin's mother entered the door with her daughter, Secretary An immediately angrily scolded Xiaoqin for kneeling.
"You, you've lost all of our face. You, you say, what are you doing here? A big girl, it doesn't matter if you don't have a face, you don't want to think about it, where do you put your parents' faces?"
Xiaoqin knelt on the ground and was ashamed and afraid, crying all the time, unable to say a word.
But the more this happened, the more angry Secretary An became.
"I've never had such a big fire in all these years. I always think that the daughters of our family are the most obedient and sensible than the daughters of other families. But what is the result, other people's daughters didn't go into trouble, you are fine. You've poked a big hole in the sky......"
At this point, An Yang also understood, so he vigorously pouted Secretary Teng'an.
"This, this is too lacking in morality. Uncle, we have to find them!"
Only Xiaoqin's mother is quite calm, and she is afraid that it will make a big fuss, and it will not be good for anyone. Just persuaded, "Okay, keep your voice down, I'm afraid of losing face and shouting something." If you want others to not know, you can simply go to the brigade headquarters and shout with a loudspeaker. Besides, you have to wait until you understand it, it's true. Now that this thing has come out, what's the use of you shouting like this? If you can suppress it, it's better to suppress it first......"
Secretary Ke'an was already angry at this time, and he completely lost his mind.
threw out a sentence of "Fuck it! I'm going to marry someone else over there, I can't swallow this breath!"
After saying that, he dragged Xiaoqin on the ground and went out with his nephew in a hurry.
Xiaoqin's mother naturally couldn't sit and wait, so she had to chase after her.
