Chapter 66: Back to his hometown
Fang Zigu's hometown, which is also his father's hometown, is in a remote mountain village in Area M.
In this, due to the full implementation of the national full coverage project, the hometown has taken on a new look.
The full name of his hometown is very awkward, and sometimes when he needs to show his ID card, Fang Zigu is a little embarrassed......
Group 8 of Galaha Village, Mengti Monkey Dingqi Tower, Dunhe Town, C City, Area M......
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Zigu drove his mother into his hometown Galaha Village.
Autumn and October, this is the harvest season, and agricultural tricycles and tractors can be seen on the road everywhere on the asphalt road.
Walking to the entrance of Galaha Village, Fang Zigu turned the car towards a narrow cement path.
On both sides of the path, spacious farmhouse courtyards are lined up one after another, and in the small courtyards, golden corn and red sorghum are piled up in the small courtyards.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar path in front of him, Fang Zigu's expression was complicated.
Grandma's house, Fang Zigu has rarely been there since his parents divorced, and I remember that the last time I came was the year before last.
First, it is indeed too far away, and it takes more than ten hours to drive, and secondly, because of his father, he has not been particularly close to this grandmother since he was a child, but he is quite close to his grandmother.
My grandmother had five children, two boys and three girls, and her father was the youngest boy in the family.
He has three aunts and an uncle.
Grandma is with her uncle all year round.
Due to the large number of children in the family, there is also a lot of land in the grandmother's house, and in the end, it is all planted by the uncle's family.
When Fang Zi took care of the gate of his grandmother's house, he found that a black Volkswagen sedan had been parked at the door
Fang Zigu knew that it was the old aunt's car.
Fang Zigu didn't alarm anyone, parked the car at the gate of his grandmother's house, carried a few winter clothes worn by the elderly, and walked into the small courtyard of his grandmother's house with his mother.
Within the walls of the courtyard is a small garden, in which red peppers, yellow tomatoes, and green cucumbers are delicate.
The perimeter of the wall was covered with long branches, and the beans that climbed all over the branches were large and thick. They are in a pile of three, a group of five, densely packed, rubbing against each other, as if they are seducing people to pick.
At some point, they climbed up to the apricot tree next to the wall, and the golden gourd hung down from the apricot tree, like a golden lantern.
Further inside, a few hens paced leisurely on the fence and in the yard, occasionally pecking the ground with their hard beaks, and from time to time leaving a lump of gray and white chicken droppings.
In the courtyard, two children, five or six years old, a man and a woman, were on a stone platform under an apricot tree by the well, with a scoop and shovel and mud.
They were having a good time, and after discovering Fang Zigu and Su Meizhen, the slightly older girl threw down the shovel, touched her nose with her sleeve, and ran into the house, while the younger boy was holding a small shovel and looking at the two strangers in a daze with big stunned eyes.
This is the child of the eldest sister of the uncle's family, he saw it the last time he came home.
Fang Zigu just wanted to tease this little guy, but he saw an uncle dressed as a peasant and a fashionably dressed aunt come out.
Next to the old aunt, there was a little girl with long legs and a long look.
This is my aunt's youngest daughter, a few years younger than herself, and she should graduate this year.
Behind the old aunt, the elderly grandmother and grandfather walked out with their arms.
They were full of silver hair and wrinkles, and after seeing Fang Zigu, the deep wrinkles tightened together, revealing a smile.
Fang Zigu hurriedly walked a few steps and said to a few people in the distance: "Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, Yujia!"
"Xiao Gu is back!"
"Big brother!"
"It's Meizhen and Xiao Gu! Look at my eldest grandson, why don't you tell grandma in advance when you come back, grandma can prepare a meal for you. ”
......
After a period of greetings, Fang Zigu and the others entered the house.
The parents chatted for a long time, and everyone's topic inadvertently came to Fang Zigu's body.
The first to speak was grandma, and this kind old lady took Fang Zigu's hand and asked, "Xiao Gu, have you got a target? You're not young, it's time to get one! Your uncle's family, your eldest brother Fang Ping, has already brought the object home for the Chinese New Year this year!"
And who is who...... You're about the same age, and the kid can already run......"
Fang Zigu looked helplessly at the chattering grandmother in front of him, and replied perfunctorily: "If you know grandma, just look for it, just look for it!"
In front of the elders, children, are always topics that resonate with them.
Since grandma opened the chatterbox about Fang Zigu, the relatives in the whole house began to "analyze" Fang Zigu's situation in all aspects......
From marriage to work, from feelings to situations......
It's really exhaustive, and nothing is missing.
Fang Zigu didn't hide it, and told his relatives about opening a comic company.
The relatives were amazed when they heard this, this one said that Fang Zi Gu had a chance, and the other said that Fang Zi Gu really fought for the old Fang family.
The cousin of the old aunt's family on the side looked at Fang Zigu with a look of admiration.
This cousin, who is the same as Fang Zigu before, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, is the name of the comic published by Fang Zigu's studio.
After talking about Fang Zigu, these elders began to talk about Fang Zigu's cousin again.
Fang Zigu's cousin is called Gu Jia, who is just 19 years old this year.
Gu Jia's academic performance in high school was very poor, and she dropped out of school in her sophomore year of high school and went to a technical college to study mechanical automation.
During this year's internship period, there was originally a large factory that asked her, but after she went, she was asked to become a machine tool operator~
So, this cousin quit on the spot and went home.
It's a big girl, and it's not a matter to be at home all the time, so my aunt began to worry about her daughter's work.
Seeing the old aunt's sad look, Fang Zigu suddenly thought of his bookstore preparing to recruit clerks~
A few days ago, he was worried about recruiting a clerk, if his cousin didn't dislike it, he could go to work in his own bookstore, and find a suitable one in the future, and it would never be too late to change.
Thinking of this, Fang Zigu was just about to say something when he heard footsteps from the kitchen.
Soon, the curtain was lifted, and a tall, burly man walked into the room.
The man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with thoughtful facial features, approached the back of the house and greeted the people around him with a simple smile.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, this person is the eldest brother of Uncle Gu's family: Fang Ping.
Fang Zigu's eldest cousin is 29 years old this year, he worked hard in Beijing after graduating from college, so many years have passed, he took out a loan to buy a house in Beijing, bought a car, and found a wife, I heard that he was going to get married at the end of the year.
Fang Ping has a simple personality and is down-to-earth, and this time he came back to eleven to help his father harvest autumn.
When Fang Ping saw Fang Zigu, he showed a sincere smile, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth.
Fang Zigu hurriedly got off the kang and hugged Fang Ping.
After the greetings, Fang Ping's eyes flashed with excitement and doubt, and he said to Fang Zigu: "Brother, that Mercedes-Benz outside is your car?"
"Mercedes?"
The whole family was stunned when they heard this.
In this room, except for the two old men, the rest know the meaning of Mercedes-Benz.
Although in this era, driving a Mercedes-Benz is nothing, but in this kind of small village, it is really rare to be able to afford to drive a Mercedes-Benz!
