The tricycle crossed the dirt road in the village and stopped in front of Wen Guangyao's house. This is an ordinary rural courtyard, in front of the door is an old locust tree, there is also one in the courtyard, but there is no courtyard wall, just some scattered stones to enclose the courtyard, there is no gate, just a few wooden planks nailed together, right to use as a door.

Wu Zhuoran didn't care about these, she jumped off the tricycle excitedly and looked at this "home." ”

Wen Guangyao grabbed some snacks that Wu Zhuoran bought, "Uncle, take it, go back and give it to Liangliang to eat." ”

Uncle Caichen smiled innocently, "What can I want?"

Wen Deshun said softly, "Yao gives you something, you take it, and it's not a precious thing." ”

Uncle Caichen took it over, and the tricycle turned a corner in front of the door and disappeared.

Mother Fan Lianying and second sister Wen Guanghua ran out when they heard the sound of the car, Wen Guanghua is in his third year of high school, he will take the college entrance examination next year, and he will have two days off on the eleventh, and he is very happy to hear that his brother is back with his future sister-in-law.

Wu Zhuoran also saw the two of them, and she took a few steps forward, "Auntie." She greeted softly.

Fan Lianying is of medium height, with dark skin, she kept wiping her two hands on the waist cloth, and smiled happily, but her eyes kept looking Wu Zhuoran up and down, "This girl is really handsome, come, come and sit at home, walk along, are you tired?"

"Not tired. Wu Zhuoran said softly, she was still a little shy and slightly squirming.

"Sister-in-law. Seeing Wen Guangcai take things to the courtyard, Wen Guanghua stepped forward and gently grabbed Wu Zhuoran's hand, she was a quiet person, her appearance was almost exactly the same as Wen Guangcai, but her skin was white, "Come in, I'll make you a basin of water to wash your face." ”

Wu Zhuoran smiled at Wen Guanghua, took hands and entered the door with her, "Dad, let's go." Wen Guangyao said to Wen Deshun, who was smiling.

After entering the hospital, Wu Zhuoran couldn't help but start looking at this home. To the north are four main houses, but to the west are three adobe houses, only one to the east is a brick house, and the west wing is two lower adobe houses.

Although the yard is loess surface, it is very clean, and water is sprinkled, golden corn and millet are piled up on the wall, and there are gourds, garlic and some farming tools hanging on the wall, and there is a well in front of the brick house, and there is still a locust tree next to the well, with lush branches, and in the easternmost part there is a space with a low wall made of gravel, which may be the toilet at home.

"Sister-in-law, I'll fetch you water. Wen Guangcai put down her things and walked out again, she came to the well, and easily used a roller to draw a bucket of water from the well, next to the well was placed a wooden basin stand, Wen Guang used a scoop to scoop the water into the basin.

The well water was fresh and cool, which lifted Wu Zhuoran's spirits, and the fatigue of the journey unconsciously reduced a lot, "Wipe your face, sister-in-law." Wen Guanghua walked over again and handed her a brand new towel, "What, girl, come into the house, have a good rest, and we'll have dinner later." Fan Lianyun greeted warmly.

Wu Zhuoran obviously felt that this family attached great importance to her, and couldn't help but be very moved, she said embarrassedly, "Auntie, you can call me Ranran." ”

Fan Lianyun said happily, "Then Ranran, Ranran, come into the house and sit." Wen Deshun watched them enter the house, squatted in the yard, took out a cigarette, and smoked beautifully.

There was a gauze curtain hanging on the front door of the three adobe houses, and when the curtain was lifted and entered, Wu Zhuoran felt that the room was very dark, and she was surprised to find that the house had no back window, no ceiling on the roof, and the purlins were still exposed, blackened by the steam of cooking, and an electric lamp may have just been wiped, and it was emitting a blazing light.

The walls of the house are still yellow and yellow earthen walls, but they are very smooth, and the room that enters the door should double as a kitchen, and there is a smell of meat wafting from the brick stove, and the stove is plastered with a layer of cement, and there are some bottles and cans stacked on it, and there are a few bulging woven bags against the north wall, and the brick house in the east room has a curtain, which seems to be new, and it seems that it has just been replaced.

"Sister-in-law, come in and sit down. Wen Guangcai greeted warmly and opened the curtain of the West House. Wu Zhuoran smiled, "I'll come by myself, you're welcome." ”

There is also a suite in the west room, and there is also a door curtain, and there are some new newspapers pasted on the wall of the earthen kang, and there are some yellowed awards on the newspapers, almost all of which are Wen Guangyao, and there is a bench and a few short stools under the kang, and on the table against the north wall is a black-and-white television set of about fourteen inches, which is probably the valuable object of this house.

Wu Zhuoran carefully looked at the picture frame above the TV, there were photos of all ages in the family in the picture frame, one of which was Wen Guangyao sitting on a chair, showing a small **, smirking at people, this should be a photo when she was over 100 years old, she couldn't help but be a little ashamed, and quickly turned her head.

Wen Guangyao picked up an enamel jar on the table, "Gollum" drank a few large mouthfuls of water, he wiped his mouth and put down the jar, and said loudly, "Mother, let's eat, we are hungry." Pick, you go and steam the crab roe. Wen Guangyao commanded again.

"When you come back, you will support me, I still want to say a few more words to my sister-in-law. Wen Guangcai was not happy to return to it, but turned around and walked out.

Wu Zhuoran hurriedly took out the things she bought from the bag on the kang, "Auntie, this is for you and your uncle," she handed Wen Guanghua the jeans and hairpin, "This is for you," compared to the grinning Wen Guangcai, she felt that she liked this third sister more.

"Thank you, sister-in-law," Wen Guanghua said with a smile, it seems that she likes this hairpin a lot, she can't put it down, Fan Lianying smiled and put things down, "It's good for you to come, what are you spending all this money for, don't dare to spend money in the future." ”

Wen Guangcai also walked in from the outside, and when she saw the cosmetics handed over by Wu Zhuoran, she said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I don't need cosmetics," but when she saw her brother staring at her, she immediately changed her tone and smiled, "Then you can teach me how to use it." ”

Fan Lianying took out a red envelope from under the kang mat, grabbed Wu Zhuoran's hand and stuffed it into her hand, "Girl, take it, I have a little heart." ”

Wu Zhuoran hurriedly wanted to excuse himself, "Auntie, I don't want it." ”

Fan Lianying said with a smile, "Auntie likes to give it to you, take it." She couldn't help but put the red envelope into Wu Zhuoran's hand, "That's okay, I'll clean up my meal." ”

Wu Zhuoran looked at Wen Guangyao, Wen Guangyao smiled and motioned her to put it away, watching the family happy, he suddenly thought of the cold reception he suffered in the Wu family, and couldn't help but feel a little cold, but looking at Wu Zhuoran and the third sister smiling, this unpleasantness immediately disappeared.

Dinner is eaten on the kang, except for the "red armor" and the noodles that are served first, it is still mainly meat, roast chicken, ham, meatballs, roasted pork ribs, and braised chicken nuggets...... , Wu Zhuoran is not taboo to eat meat, although the dishes are salty, they are still eaten "with taste", Wen Deshun saw her like this, and happily drank the liquor in the cup.

"Brother, I don't want to work in a chemical factory anymore, I'll go to Dragon City with you. Wen Guangcai gnawed on a chicken claw, looked at Wen Guangyao and said.

Fan Lianying also put down the chopsticks in her hand, "The smell of the chemical factory is big, and it's not a matter for my daughter's family to do it there, you can find something for your sister to do." ”

Wen Guangyao smiled, "Mother, I just graduated now, how can I have that ability?" ”

"Aren't you a cadre?" Fan Lianying said curiously, "It's still difficult to find something for your sister?" Wu Zhuoran took the opportunity to put down the chopsticks in his hand, or Fan Lianying would have to keep urging her to eat this and that.

"I just came to work in the government, and I don't know anyone, so let's talk about it later. Wen Guangyao knew his sister's thoughts, and he didn't want to do it, he also knew what a girl without a diploma was doing in a chemical factory all day long, but she was powerless, which made him very depressed.

Wen Guangcai was a little disappointed, "What, brother, you have to think about this, don't forget." ”

Before the meal was finished, several young people in the village walked into the courtyard and said, "Yao is back?" As they spoke, they opened the curtain and walked into the house.

Seeing them standing under the kang with a smile, Wu Zhuoran shyly just wanted to get up from the kang, Fan Lianying held her down, "Have you eaten a few, if you haven't eaten, just eat here." Wen Guangyao stepped off the kang, "How do you know I'm back?"

The young man was not much older than him, and he said, "Eat, eat, I heard that you are a cadre?"

A tall and thin man smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law is very beautiful, and she is also a college student?" He looked at Wu Zhuoran enviously, and Wu Zhuoran's face turned red.

Fan Lianying said with a smile, "Junpeng, I heard from my mother, you are going to get married at the end of the year, this is good, there are also cubs in the family, and the three of them have to hurry up, the marriage is over, why hasn't the daughter-in-law's stomach moved?"

These people all squirmed and didn't speak, and one of them smiled at Wen Guangyao, "Let's go, go to Junpeng's daughter-in-law's house and have a look, no one will be allowed to enter when it is put on hold." ”

Wen Guangyao said to Wu Zhuoran, "I'll go out, and if you're sleepy, you will sleep first." A few people hooked their shoulders and began to walk out, and there was a faint sentence from the courtyard, "I heard that you are over there in Longcheng, eating rice and braised pork every day, why don't you see you fat......"

Wu Zhuoran originally had a lot of complaints about Wen Guangyao leaving her, but when she heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "These are all my brother's classmates," Wen Guangcai also laughed, "I love to tell a few jokes." ”

After eating, Wu Zhuoran wanted to help clean up the table, but Fan Lianying pressed her on the kang again, "Don't do any work in our house, don't you have her sisters." ”

Wen Guanghua also smiled, "Sister-in-law, you sit for a while, just for a while." Wen Guangcai didn't speak, and he had already begun to clean up.

While watching the black and white TV, shaking the pu fan, and talking to Fan Lianying, her mind was on Wen Guangyao, but at eleven o'clock, Wen Guangyao was still missing.

Seeing her yawn, Fan Lianying smiled and said, "Sleep when you're sleepy, don't wait for him," she turned her head to Wen Guanghua and said, "Hua, you and your sister-in-law sleep in your brother's room in the east room, Cai sleeps in this room with me, and your father and your brother sleep in the west suite." ”

Wen Guangcai pouted, "Why don't you let me sleep with my sister-in-law?" She said to Wu Zhuoran again, "Every time my brother comes back, he has to drink and play poker all night, so you don't have to wait for him." ”

Fan Lianying smiled, "You still don't want to sleep with your mother, don't you talk a lot?" She grumbled again.

Wu Zhuoran walked into the east house, although the east house is also this kind of mud wall, but there are a few simple furniture, flipping through the books on the kang head, and talking to Wen Guangcai, smelling the mothball on the thin quilt, Wu Zhuoran fell asleep.

Maybe she was not restrained, or maybe she was too tired from the journey, and when she woke up in the morning, Wen Guanghua was no longer around.

Wu Zhuoran hurriedly dressed and went to the ground, after all, he wanted to leave a good impression on his future mother-in-law and sister-in-law. When she lifted the curtain and went out of the house, she saw Wen Guangyao holding a chicken in the courtyard and talking to Wen Guanghua, he was asking her about her academic performance, but she didn't seem satisfied.
