Liao Fanmin still admires his mother Xu Wenqing very much, although he has a lot of opinions about his old family, he still has a lot of things to prepare, all the food and clothing are available, and he has also sealed several red envelopes, almost filling the trunk of the car, even Liao Zexi feels that there are too many things.

Soft Chinese cigarettes and Moutai wine are naturally placed at home, on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Liao Zexi took Liao Fanyao to Xu Hongmeng to pay New Year's greetings and gave a bottle of Moutai wine and a soft Chinese cigarette.

Tobacco and alcohol that are too high-grade are not needed in the countryside.

Liao Fanmin brought a soft Chinese cigarette alone, and Jia Yunmao gave him five soft Chinese cigarettes.

According to Liao Fanmin's income, he can smoke soft Chinese cigarettes, but he is not so free, no matter what, he will not buy soft Chinese cigarettes during college.

After eating at noon, all the leftover meals were thrown away, and they would not go home until six days later, and by then the meals would have been useless for a long time.

Xu Wenqing sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Liao Zexi, Liao Fanmin and Liao Fanyao sat in the back seat.

My hometown is in Sujiabao Village, Hongtu Town, not far from the city, less than 40 miles, and the road is also in good condition, and it can be reached in about an hour.

The car of the municipal party committee office sent Liao Zexi and his party back to the countryside for the New Year.

In the past, when I went back to my hometown for the New Year, I was also sent by a car, which is the rule of the municipal unit, and anyone who went back to his hometown for the New Year, the unit would arrange a vehicle to pick him up, whether it was a leading cadre or an ordinary worker, this was one of the welfare benefits of the unit, not Liao Zexi's special treatment.

The car soon arrived at Hongtu Town, which was an asphalt road, but from Hongtu Town to Sujiabao Village, it was a gravel road, the road was a little narrow, but fortunately, it was also flat, and the people in the car could not feel the bumps.

The place where the car stopped is the location of the village primary school.

After getting off the bus, walk about 100 meters to Liao Tiangui's home.

Liao Fanmin's grandfather, Liao Tiangui, used to be the village party secretary, but later when he got older, he was unwilling to continue to be a village cadre, so he retired, but he still has a lot of prestige in the village, maybe he has been a village cadre for a long time, and it was in that special era that Liao Tiangui also formed an unusual temperament, usually looking very serious and rarely smiling.

Liao Fanmin's grandmother Sun Kaixiu, a complete rural woman, has been running housework all her life, busy with the fields and family affairs, and has never seen much of the world, just over sixty years old, she looks like she is eighty years old.

Liao Tiangui's home used to be a large courtyard, but now it is divided into three, Liao Tiangui, Sun Kaixiu and the youngest son Liao Zebing occupy the two courtyards in the middle and right, and the second son Liao Zetian occupies the courtyard on the left.

The brothers have long been separated from each other, Liao Zexi works in the city, there is no home, and there is no share of the family's property, Liao Zebing lives with his parents, and Liao Zetian lives alone.

It is said that there are three courtyards, but the courtyards and dams are still together, but there is a small ditch in the middle.

Liao Zexi and Liao Fanmin carried and carried all the things, and Xu Wenqing and Liao Fanyao followed.

The driver will not stay to eat, and people will also rush back for the New Year, before leaving, Liao Zexi asked the driver to pick up at about four o'clock in the afternoon of the third day of the first lunar month.

The first thing to pass by was Liao Zetian's courtyard, Liao Fanmin saw Liao Zetian standing in the courtyard, and hurriedly shouted the second uncle, and Liao Fanyao, who was following him, also shouted, after Liao Zetian heard it, he was slightly stunned, and reluctantly agreed with a smile.

When Liao Zexi saw Liao Zetian, he also politely greeted him.

The look on Xu Wenqing's face was a little strange, as if he sighed slightly.

After crossing the small ditch of the courtyard dam, it is really back to his hometown for the New Year.

Liao Tiangui sat in the hall and watched Liao Zexi and others come over, but did not come out, but Sun Kaixiu hurriedly greeted him.

Liao Fanmin and Liao Fanyao opened their mouths to call their grandparents, and Liao Tiangui actually snorted from his nose.

Liao Zexi is a little angry now, he attaches great importance to his own children, you must know that Liao Fanmin was admitted to the University of South China, he is already the first talent in the family, and Liao Fanyao's academic performance is very good, and he is likely to take the Peking University exam in the future, and a pair of children in the family are the pride of the Liao family.

"Dad, Xiaomin and Yaoyao called you."

"I hear you."

"I thought you didn't hear it."

Perhaps Liao Zexi's tone was a little heavy, but Liao Tiangui finally stood up and squeezed out a smile on his face.

"Xiaomin and Yaoyao are back, and they have a good time at home these days."

A few minutes later, Liao Zebing also went home.

Seeing Liao Zebing, there was no smile on Liao Zexi's face.

"Boss, my parents are old, you have to take care of things at home, if you don't plan to go out to work, then take care of the house, don't do anything, eat ready-made every day, and think about going to the city to find things to do, how is it possible...

Liao Zebing didn't care, and smiled at Liao Fanmin and Liao Fanyao.

Liao Tiangui looked at Liao Zexi and spoke.

"Boss, the boss is not young anymore, you are also a leader now, can you help or help, the boss wants to do things in the city, you tell the unit, it's not a big deal...

"Dad, you don't know these things, the work is not so easy to arrange, the old man can't do anything, what can he do when he goes to the unit, he doesn't like to do things at home, can he do things in the unit."

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

It was Xu Wenqing who spoke.

"Lao Liao, don't say a few words, the children have just arrived, and they should also take a good rest."

"Yes, yes, I'm going to cook, what Xiaomin and Yaoyao want to eat, I'll do it...

Liao Fanmin's head is a little big, he vaguely remembers that the relationship between his father and brothers seems to be good, but there are some changes in the middle, his father rarely goes home, and he seems to have a lot of opinions about the family.

Now Liao Zexi is already the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, and he is also a leading cadre, his temperament will always change unconsciously, and the change in temperament is actually a change in his status at home.

In Liao Fanmin's view, after starting a family, each family is to take care of the affairs of each family, as for the relationship between relatives, it must be taken into account, but it is impossible to focus on the affairs of relatives.

Liao Fanyao followed Xu Wenqing to the second floor, and the rooms she lived in were all on the second floor.

Liao Tiangui, Liao Zexi, Liao Zebing and Liao Fanmin were left in the hall.

Although Liao Fanmin is not very old, he is already eighteen years old, that is, an adult.

Liao Tiangui looked at Liao Zexi and Liao Fanmin, lit a cigarette and spoke.

"Boss, do you still want to go to the second child's house this year?"

"Of course I have to go, the brothers move around during the New Year, and there is no contact with each other."

"You, I've said it many times, don't associate with the second child, that guy is not angry."

"It's the second child's own business to fight for anger or not, we are brothers, and we must move around each other during the New Year."

"Okay, if you don't listen to me, I don't bother to say it, but I can tell you, the second child is not allowed to enter my door."

Liao Zexi looked at Liao Tiangui.

"Dad, what do you mean by this, let outsiders see jokes all your life, my own family is just a few brothers, and I can't get along, and the father and son are also ignoring it, isn't the second child just getting married, didn't listen to the opinions of the family, and found a person from other places, what kind of thing is this, now it seems that the second daughter-in-law is not bad, at least she can take care of the affairs of the family, so many years have passed, and she always remembers the previous things, and she is ready to remember when it is."

Liao Zebing looked at all this, and didn't dare to speak at all, his father in the family has absolute authority, and after the eldest brother came home, he would occasionally open his mouth to persuade him, but this year's situation seems to be different, and the eldest brother's tone is much harder.

His own brother, Liao Zebing, of course, knows that the eldest brother Liao Zexi has been promoted to a very important position, and even the village secretary is envious, and the news that Liao Zexi will be further promoted has also spread to the family, not to mention that his nephew Liao Fanmin was admitted to the University of South China, which is a national key university, and Liao Fanyao's academic performance is also very good.

Of course, with the contribution of the eldest brother Liao Zexi to the family, he can also speak hard.

Liao Tiangui looked at Liao Zexi, his face was a little pale, his hands trembled slightly, but he didn't speak.

"Grandpa, I think the second uncle should go home for the New Year, uncle, do you say yes?"

Liao Fanmin suddenly spoke, making Liao Tiangui stunned for a moment, his authority is limited to his children, and the boss Liao Zexi has been promoted, his identity is not ordinary, he can no longer lose his temper in front of Liao Zexi, the village secretary said that Liao Zexi will be the leader of the municipal party committee and municipal government sooner or later.

As for saying that in front of his grandchildren, especially in front of Liao Fanmin and Liao Fanyao, Liao Tiangui generally does not lose his temper, after all, there is not much contact, and Liao Fanmin was admitted to the University of South China, and he must be in a big place when he comes out to work, if he reprimands Liao Fanmin at every turn, I am afraid that Liao Zexi will also lose his temper.

Liao Zebing was also stunned, he didn't expect Liao Fanmin to mention him.

Looking at Liao Tiangui and Liao Zexi, Liao Zebing still didn't dare to speak.

Liao Fanmin didn't care, and continued to speak.

"I think my dad is right, whether you are close to the family or not, grandpa used to be the village party secretary, if things at home are not fair, what will the people in the village think, compliments in person, and there must be discussions behind the scenes...

"Xiaomin is right, Dad, this year's reunion dinner for the second child's family must participate, if you still hate the second child, then let him kneel down for you to admit your mistakes, it is already the current situation, and it is not okay to continue the stalemate. . . ."

Liao Tiangui looked at Liao Zexi and Liao Fanmin, let out a long sigh, and slowly stood up tremblingly.

Liao Tiangui's eyes actually had tears in them.

"My son, why don't I want to, but the second child is too angry, he hasn't farmed all these years, the family has made a mess, and he doesn't go out to work, the two dolls don't wear any good clothes, they don't eat any good things, boss, you go and tell the second child, if he is willing to listen to me in the future, then come and recognize me, or no matter what you say, I won't recognize him...
