The shops on this side of the business district are decorated with lights, and all of them are in a New Year's style.

Joy is on people's faces, full of longing for the new year, and people who have been busy all year are also taking a rare break in this joyful festival.

After having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the Wei family's mansion, Xiao Nan rushed to his hometown that night. Old Man Wei will also rush over later, but at this time, Xiao Nan still has two people with him.

Wei Qiushan will follow, Xiao Nan can understand it somewhat, the problem is that not only Wei Qiushan but also Wei Xiayang also came, which made Xiao Nan a little suspicious of what this woman was thinking. With a beautiful woman to accompany you, this trip should not be boring. However, the situation is the opposite, one reads quietly as if isolated from the world, and the other falls asleep calmly, as if it has come too comfortably.

Xiao Nan was a little helpless, and he didn't bother them in the end.

After getting off the plane, the three of them got on a long-distance bus and gradually moved away from the city, and the appearance of the countryside appeared in view. The low-rise houses are a stark contrast to the city, and the fields on both sides of the road are wide and far from the eye. Wei Xiayang put down the book and looked out the window, she had never been here, so her eyes were full of curiosity.

"Haven't you arrived yet?" Wei Qiushan asked, there was a bit of a bump in the way, and she frowned.

"It's not there yet, and I still have to walk a little way after getting out of the car." Xiao Nan explained.

Wei Qiushan looked at Xiao Nan in disbelief, she still had to walk and walk?

After getting out of the car, there was still a long way to go, and Xiao Nan naturally became a porter. All the big bags and small bags were carried on his shoulders, these are New Year's goods, there is no need to prepare so much, but there are some relatives in his hometown, Wei Qiushan, they are the first time to come, so they naturally prepared a lot.

"Why don't I get some?" Wei Xiayang wanted to share the burden for Xiao Nan.

Xiao Nan smiled, "No need, the mountain road is not easy to walk, just be careful yourself." ”

I don't know what kind of village Xiao Nan depicted, Wei Qiushan was a little hesitant. After a long journey, the three finally arrived at the entrance of the village. The village is a little backward, but more like a paradise.

Some of the broken wooden doors at the entrance of the village were pasted with the word Fu on them, and there were also firecracked cannons on the side of the road, and the village dogs were lying on the door of the house and looked at the three people who appeared with amazement.

"This is your hometown?"

Xiao Nan nodded, everything in front of him was all too familiar to him. Beyond that is a small stream, there is a bamboo forest next to the stream, where they played a lot when they were children. There is also a reservoir at the end of the village, from which large and plump fish are caught every autumn and shared by the families.

Wei Xiayang had a smile on his face, they had gone through the place where Old Man Wei had cut in line again, and they felt the atmosphere of simplicity, which was a good feeling.

The three of them returned to Xiao Nan's home, which was a mud house with two rooms in total. The furnishings of the house were simple and outrageous, and they were already covered with thick dust, and he only came back at this time of year to see his father. In the back room, there was a row of shelves, as if they had been deliberately made, on which some books were placed that had been yellowed and cobwebbed. At the head of the bed was a desk with an inkstone and a few brushes.

This is his father's belongings, Xiao Nan still remembers that he liked to scribble on trees with a brush at that time, and he was taught a lot by his father about this. From the words written by a person, you can see a person's character, the wall is hung with the brush words written by Lao Xiao, a stable "Ding" word, the old man's idea is to settle down for a lifetime. Wei Xiayang looked at the words on the wall, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, this writing is really good.

"It's a little late today, let's go to each house tomorrow, and go to the grave to pull weeds and pour a glass of wine for his old man." Xiao Nan said that the old Xiao at home likes to drink, but fortunately, this time he brought him a pot of good wine so that he can drink a pot of wine below.

After cleaning the room, Xiao Nan slept in the outhouse, and Wei Qiushan and Wei Xiayang slept in the inner room.

A yellowish light illuminated the two rooms, Xiao Nan was completely sleepy, looking at the starry sky outside through the broken corner of the window, it was like looking at it for countless years, at that time there would always be someone gently driving away mosquitoes and fanning him by his side, sleep child, go to bed early and get up early.

In the back room, Wei Xiayang leaned on Wei Qiushan and said the words before going to bed.

"Do you like him?"

Wei Qiushan's head moved, and then the voice came, "I like it." ”

"Do you really like it?"

"I really like it."

"Then the old man didn't choose the wrong person, he once said that the one he felt guilty about all his life was the old Xiao family. Now I finally understand why, the old man must have had a good time here. ”

"Yes."

In the dead of night, the lights remained in the room for a long time.

Early the next morning, a knock on the door woke up Wei Xiayang and Wei Qiushan, who were still asleep.

Xiao Nan was very kind when he saw the young man in front of him, this was Liu Gouzi, his playmate when he was a child. Liu Gouzi hammered Xiao Nan's shoulder, "Anan, you won't tell me when you're back, if it weren't for yesterday when I heard that you were back, I wouldn't know if you were really back." This time I came back to see Uncle Xiao again? Uncle Xiao has been gone for so many years, you are still so filial, much better than those little kings and eight lambs in the village. One by one, they ran into the city and disappeared all of a sudden, and they didn't go home after the New Year. ”

Liu Gouzi chattered, and then said excitedly, "My daughter-in-law, you have seen it, and now she has given birth to a baby for me, hehe, now I am the father of three children." ”

Xiao Nan thought of Liu Gouzi's daughter-in-law, and said with a smile, "You didn't say that you wanted to have a football team, now it's too far from such a goal." ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Liu Gouzi smiled happily.

At this time, the two sisters, Wei Xiayang and Wei Qiushan, came out of the back room. The two of them had just woken up at this time, but the laziness on their faces couldn't hide their temperament, of course, the posture could be seen with their eyes.

"Damn, Anan, your childhood dream has finally been achieved, I thought you were bragging at that time. Tsk, compared to my daughter-in-law, it is a heaven and a place, but my daughter-in-law also said that she is a flower inserted in cow dung, I only know today what is called a real flower, my daughter-in-law can only be regarded as a dog's tail grass. ”

"Huh." Xiao Nan smiled, "I didn't say that about my daughter-in-law, you can take some New Year's goods in the house." ”

"Okay." Liu Gouzi said happily.

When Liu Gouzi left, Wei Qiushan laughed out loud, "This is your friend?" He's so funny. ”

Xiao Nan nodded.

"Just now he said what you wanted when you were a child? What is that? ”

Xiao Nan shook his head, "Ignore him, there is no such thing." ”

"Say, I'm not going to laugh at you."

"Liu Gouzi was mistaken, he thought you two were my daughters-in-law." Xiao Nan blinked, "When I was a child, I bragged, he said that he would give birth to a football team when he grew up, so of course I couldn't show weakness, and then I said that I would marry two daughters-in-law and bring them back to him to see and envy him." I didn't take it seriously, but he did, hehe. ”

"Cut." Wei Qiushan glanced at him angrily, "Naïve man." ”

Wei Xiayang didn't mind, and still kept smiling.

Xiao Nan was busy all morning, and finally visited his relatives in the village, so he naturally brought Wei Qiushan over to meet. For Xiao Nan, a beautiful daughter-in-law like a fairy, everyone naturally can't help but boast, I believe it won't take long for the whole village to know that Xiao Nan, a bastard boy, married a fairy-like wife.

A grave outside the village, where a bluestone slab stands, surrounded by weeds.

Xiao Nan pulled out the weeds around the grave and placed a pot of wine in front of the grave.

Wei Xiayang and Wei Qiushan stood behind Xiao Nan and looked at the bluestone slab with only the word Lao Xiao written on it and were silent, this is Xiao Nan's father, the Xiao family man who has been guilty of the old man of the Wei family all his life.

"Lao Xiao, Lao Xiao, so many people have come to see you this year, do you also feel lively? I have already married my daughter-in-law, and Uncle Wei's daughter brought her over to see you today. You keep saying that Uncle Wei's daughter is very beautiful, very beautiful, I wonder how you know if she is beautiful if you haven't seen her? But you're right, she's beautiful. At this time, you must be regretting it again, isn't it a little hurtful for your useless son to harm such a beautiful girl? If you're still around, I'm probably going to hit me with a ruler again, like every time I don't obey. Uncle Wei's health is also very good, and he still feels indebted to you. Actually, I think it's our old Xiao family who met a nobleman, I don't know if you will talk nonsense at this time, in your eyes, there is no nobleman who is not noble, only who is not fatal. Uncle Wei will also come back to see you later, you must have a lot to talk about after not seeing you for many years. How so? Your daughter-in-law has brought you to see it, and you're happy enough. This pot of wine is here for you, drink it whenever you want to, and I won't laugh at your poor drinking and like to drink. ”

Wei Qiushan looked at Xiao Nan's back and wept silently, and Wei Xiayang gently hugged her shoulders.

Xiao Nan squatted in front of the grave, crying and laughing.

In the distance, an old man shook off the support of others and looked at the grave quietly, and Brother Xiao walked all the way
