However, he was a little surprised that Li Donghai recognized him so lightly, he was recognized as a transparent person in the class when he was in high school, and he was silent, plus he hadn't seen him for three or four years, there should always be some changes.

However, he didn't bother with this, and then glanced at the tricycle next to him, and asked, "Oh, I remember, do you need any help?" “

At this time, Li Donghai took out a box of soft-decorated Yellow Crane Towers that sold 18 fast on the market, took out one, hesitated, and handed it to Ye Chen.

He looked at the BMW driven by Ye Chen, afraid that the other party would look down on the cigarette, but there was still etiquette, and it was a courtesy greeting to meet an acquaintance handing a cigarette during the New Year's festival in the countryside.

"Thank you!" Although Ye Chen didn't smoke, he still took it.

"Old classmate, I have a problem with this tricycle, can you let me pull a rope from the back of the car to take us for a ride?" Li Donghai's face has long lost the arrogance of his youth, and he said with some embarrassment.

"No problem, where are you going?"

"Thank you, thank you! Just in front of Shanyuan County, I asked my wife to get into your car to help guide the way, you see? Li Donghai happily rubbed his frozen red hands, spoke with a strong accent of a mountain city, and hurriedly thanked.

"It's okay, you let my sister-in-law get into my car and help show the way." Ye Chen got out of the car.

After a while, Li Donghai led a woman and a two- or three-year-old child down from the tricycle shed.

Li Donghai excitedly introduced Ye Chen to the woman, saying that it was his old classmate, who drove a BMW, and the woman looked very restrained.

After a few polite words, Li Donghai took out a bungee rope from the tricycle, hooked the rear of the BMW and the front of the tricycle, and then several people got into the car.

Li Donghai still grasped the direction on the tricycle, while Li Donghai's wife and son got into Ye Chen's car.

Ye Chen took such a family on the road, and along the way, Li Donghai's wife looked very restrained, stumbling and unable to say a few words. However, from the simple exchange, Ye Chen knew that Li Donghai got married not long after graduating from high school, and the family of three did some small business in the city, and went home in time for the Spring Festival, and in order to save money, he drove a three-wheeled motorcycle that is usually used for purchase all the way back.

After about an hour, Ye Chen drove to Shanyuan County, and Li Donghai's family arrived at their destination.

After a few people got out of the car, they thanked Ye Chen, and under Li Donghai's enthusiasm, they gave Ye Chen some of the specialties they brought from Chengdu. Before parting, Li Donghai also asked for Ye Chen's number, saying when to invite him to drink, Ye Chen was embarrassed to refuse others on the spot, so he left his number.

After a simple greeting and politeness, Ye Chen drove away, leaving Li Donghai to watch the BMW turn into a black dot in the distance and slowly disappear from view.

"Alas" Li Donghai suddenly sighed, the former old classmate drove home in a BMW, but he was a dilapidated three-wheeler, and he looked a little lonely for no reason.

He remembered that Ye Chen was because he didn't make trouble with Ye Chen, who was silent and honest in the class at that time, and at that time, the other party was a marginal person in the eyes of the other classmates in the class, and he didn't dare to speak loudly. Unexpectedly, the gap in reality today makes Li Donghai feel that the world is unpredictable.

You can’t judge a book by its cover!

After being separated from his former classmates, half an hour later, Ye Chen's car finally arrived in Yanglin Town, and he was eager to return home, he didn't go to the second master's house in the town, he drove directly through the town and drove on the mountain road to the village.

At this time, a few kilometers away in the mountain village, is filled with a cheerful and lively festive atmosphere. The sound of crackling firecrackers and skyrocketing cannons exploded in the sky above this small mountain village, and the blue-white smoke wafted and filled the air with a strong smell of sulfur, which was a festive smell.

Today, it is a big event for a family in the village, marrying a daughter-in-law, although the scene is not as big as the people in the city, but the scene is also very lively.

On the main road of the village, from the entrance of the village to the front of the house, about a kilometer of road, there are firecrackers, and this ceremony is to wait for the bride's wedding car to arrive at the entrance of the village, and start to light firecrackers all the way, and greet the bride lively.

At the door of that family's house, on the empty goose field, there is a red stage, which is the troupe that the family invited to sing, which is rare in this small mountain village, because it takes more than 10,000 yuan to invite a troupe, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the price is low, and those troupes are not coming. The people in the small mountain villages are generally not wealthy, so it is rare for people in the village to invite opera troupes for happy events.

As a result, many people in the village came here to watch the excitement, which added a bit of popularity and joy to the family's happy event.

At this time, in the back kitchen of this family, the neighbors who usually help are busy with their work. (In rural areas, no matter whether it is a happy event, which family will ask the neighbors to help)

The women of the village are usually in charge of the meals in the back kitchen, and at this time, these women are busy with their work and gossip.

"Sister Chun'er, this time you and Lao Zhangtou are blessed! I heard that your Xiao Zhang married a city girl this time, and she lives in a mountain city, and her family has a good background. The widow in the east of the village, Aunt Cuihua, smiled at a middle-aged woman next to her.

"Not really! Last year, Xiao Zhang also brought the girl back to the village, and I also saw it, the girl looked old and peugeot, so I thought that your family would have a happy event this year. The mother-in-law of the pig slaughterer in the west of the village also interjected with a smile.

"That's right, Sister Chun'er is so blessed, her son earns a lot of money outside, and the year before last, he built your two-story small bungalow, and many people in the village are envious!" Ye Chen's mother was also helping, and she also said with a smile.

The others also said some envious words, and the middle-aged woman called "Sister Chun'er" smiled on her face.

"By the way, Sister Ying'er, it's almost the Chinese New Year, why hasn't your Xiaochen seen him come back yet?" Aunt Cuihua in the east of the village is also a widow, so she usually has a close relationship, and she gossiped.

"Chenzi said that he got home today, and he didn't know when." Ye Chen's mother was also worried about this in her heart, thinking about when her son would arrive home, whether he was hungry and freezing.

"I heard that your Xiaochen was admitted to another student, I heard that he has the ability to do it, I think that in the future, Sister Ying'er will be the same as Sister Chun'er, waiting to enjoy the blessings." A woman said enviously.

"That kid in my family has read more books, and I don't know what will happen in the future." Hearing others praise her son, Ye Chen's mother was naturally happy in her heart and said with a smile.

"Hey, it's useless to go to college now, there are too many college students out there now, and there are many college students in my factory who get the same salary as me." At this moment, a young man in his twenties came out of the house and into the backyard, smoking a cigarette and dressing like he had seen the world, and interjected with a group of women.

"Go, go, Ergouzi, what do you know, other college students get the same salary as you? You kid didn't even graduate from elementary school. Aunt Cuihua, a widow at the east end of the village, laughed unceremoniously.

"Aunt Cuihua, I didn't lie to you, you ask the village to work outside, there are more college students outside, and they still eat and live with us and get the same salary." The young man named Ergouzi seemed unconvinced, and shouted in his mouth.

"Haha, Ergouzi is right, there are too many college students out there now, and it is difficult to find jobs, and there are two employees in my store who are college students." At this time, the bridegroom went into the backyard happily and interjected a sentence by the way.

Then he said to the neighbors who were helping behind: "Sister, the aunts have worked hard, and they will give red envelopes later." ”

"Haha, when the groom and the groom wait for a wedding banquet to compete for "happy money", don't be stingy. The crowd teased.

The bridegroom answered with a smile and left.
