The dredge over there was very fast, and not long after the opening of traffic, the car drove into the border of Yanyang.

After getting off the highway, Jiao's father drove directly to the old house in the countryside, not taking the road leading to the town.

What makes the people of the Jiao family very curious is that the BMW behind has been following, although they know that their destination is also Yanyang, but Yanyang is not very small, and the roads leading to various towns and villages in Yanyang are also different, and until now, everyone's driving routes are exactly the same, could it be that they are still real fellows?

When Jiao's father talked to them on the highway before, he talked a lot, but the specific destination of these people and their names were not revealed.

The people of the Jiao family are just curious, and they don't think that people are plotting against them or anything, after all, the other party is not a person who is short of money at first glance.

Like the people of the Jiao family, the people in the BMW in the back were also surprised, and they really didn't expect that everyone's driving route would be the same.

Half an hour later, the car was almost at the Jiao family's old house, and when it passed a fork in the road, the BMW turned and separated from the Jiao family's car.

"I guess it's from a neighboring village." Jiao's father said.

As for whether the BMW in the back is from a neighboring village, everyone is not much interested in delving, now it is almost to the ancestral house, Jiao Yuan has not been here for nearly two years, when the family did not buy a car before, Jiao's father came back a few times when he had something to do, and he did not bring Jiao Yuan, so for Jiao Yuan, this is also a slightly distant memory.

"Hey, there's a department store there!" Jiao Yuan pointed to a department store he had just passed by.

A department store of this size is nothing in Chuhua City, but it is a big store here, and it is convenient for many people.

"Yes. It was only built at the end of last year. Jiao's father told Jiao Yuan about the changes in the past two years.

Yuzu was a little nervous, she didn't know anyone here. Haven't been here either,

A large area around it is still a field. When I was about to reach the intersection of the village where the old house was located, I saw an old man standing at the intersection, and a big yellow dog standing around the old man.

"Grandpa!" Jiao Yuan waved his hand over from the open window.

The old man Jiao, who was standing at the intersection, smiled so much that a chrysanthemum was about to bloom on his face.

Dad Jiao stopped the car and let Mr. Jiao get in the car, after all, there is still a little distance from here to the old house, so they can't run away in the car and let the old man walk alone in the back, right?

Old Man Jiao thought about it and got into the car. Before getting into the car, he said to the big yellow dog outside: "You just follow outside." ”

The big yellow dog seemed to be puzzled by the old man's move to get into the car, and was about to come up. Suddenly, I saw a black cat head emerging from the car window, and I looked up and barked.

"Woohoo Woo Woo!"

Zheng Si leaned on the car window, looked at the big yellow dog outside, shook his ears, and ignored its barking.

"Yo, black charcoal is really calm! I forgot to tell you about Laifu before, and then I thought it would be better to do a test to see how your black charcoal would react when I saw Laifu, but I didn't expect this cat to be afraid at all. "The big yellow dog raised by Mr. Jiao is called Laifu. It's been raised for almost a year, and the breed is a common local dog in this place.

"That's right, our black charcoal often plays with the dogs in the compound, and there is a Saint Bernard dog who is so big. It's much more than Laifu, and it still shy away when it sees black charcoal. ”

"Hey, the idiom of retreating is well used." Old Man Jiao smiled and praised.

"Grandpa, you are so knowledgeable!"

Jiao's father, who was driving in front, shook his head. Let the grandfather and grandson continue to blow at each other.

Even if the big yellow dog didn't understand the old man's actions, he saw the car start. His attention was taken away from Zheng Si and he ran after him.

After entering the village, the road leading to the old house is a dirt road. It was uneven, there were children and old people sitting in the car, and Jiao's father drove slower.

The big yellow dog in the back is not tired of chasing, and often runs in front.

Jiao Yuan looked at the big dog following outside the car from time to time and asked some things about the big dog.

Here, there are many names such as Wangcai and Laifu, there are many dogs with the same name in the village, in fact, there are many people who do not have a name for their dogs, and the dogs are raised to prevent theft, guard the house and guard the orchard or prevent weasels, etc., as long as it can have an effect, it will not care too much if the name is not taken. Moreover, there are many dogs and cats in the village that are free-range, not as strict as those in the city. When walking on the country road from this side, Zheng Si saw several of them, running freely on dirt roads or fields with their tails flicked.

"With so many names, aren't you afraid of shouting the wrong one?" Jiao Yuan asked.

"Hey, it's different, it recognizes the voice of its own family, and it won't listen to what others call it." Old man Jiao is quite complacent and very confident in the dog he has taught.

Jiao Yuan hasn't been here for two years, and found that the changes here are quite big, many families have built small buildings, and there are many fewer tiled houses with blue brick spires and chimneys.

Everyone has made money these days, and a large number of people who have gone south to work can always make some changes in their families when they come back from the Chinese New Year. Houses in the countryside are not as good as those in the city, and relatively speaking, they don't need much money, but here, making a fortune and becoming well-off, their own houses have also become a way to show off.

Many of the older people don't farm much, they help take care of their children at home, play mahjong without doing anything, and the children who go out to work come back every month to subsidize their families.

Jiao's father also wanted to change the ancestral house, so many people in the village have built small buildings, and if they don't build their own homes, they are afraid that the old people will respond in their hearts. But I didn't expect Mr. Jiao to refuse when he heard it, he was reluctant to demolish the old house and build a small two-story or three-story building like other people's homes, for this old house, Mr. Jiao has a deep affection, even if there is a house in the town, the old couple still stays in the ancestral house most of the time.

Many people on this side of the ancestral house know Jiao's father and university professors, and they all have a sense of awe, and the word "deputy" is directly ignored by them. In the villages, the attitude towards high-level intellectuals and officials is markedly different from that of other people.

When he arrived at the ancestral house, Jiao Wei also came over to help move things, and when Mr. Jiao cleaned the ancestral house, Jiao Wei came over to help, and in Chuhua City, Jiao's father helped his family, so here in the ancestral house, Jiao Wei tried his best to help take care of it.

After Zheng Si got out of the car, the big yellow dog roared at the side, roaring twice and continuing to roar at a different angle.

This is the case with a lot of dogs. The more you run, the more it chases, the more you chase. It's a vicious circle. Those who are strong and inward-looking, or have some relevant training, and have a smarter mind. Generally, they don't bite into their mouths. Zheng Si didn't run, one is that he feels that this big yellow dog will not bite for the time being, and the second is that with Old Man Jiao here, he will not let this dog bite it.

Sure enough, after being reprimanded by Old Man Jiao for a few words, the big yellow dog was a little unwilling, but he still gave up Zheng Si's side and followed the old man to the kitchen.

There are a lot of rooms in the old house. After the sundries that were put in the past were cleaned up, the vacant ones were given to four people, Jiao's father and Jiao's mother had one room, and Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi each had one room, all next to each other.

Although Xiaoyuzi is not surnamed Jiao, the old man and the old lady Jiao are very good to her, and some small plants are deliberately placed in the room to make the room more vibrant.

There is a big cat climbing frame in Xiao Yuzi's room, which is the masterpiece of Old Man Jiao. Since Mr. Jiao can't access the Internet. I asked people to print out a picture from the Internet, and I made a cat climbing frame according to it, which still looks like this, and the materials used are all good. Zheng Si stepped on it, and the claws felt good.

As for the night, who still sleeps on the cat climbing frame when there is a bed. The cat climbing frame is only used during the day for napping and taking a lunch break.

Grandma Jiao Wei has rabbits at home. He caught two palm-sized rabbits for Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi to play with. At first, Jiao Wei's grandmother was afraid that Zheng Si would plot against her rabbits, but later found that Zheng Si was not very interested in it at all. I gradually put my mind at ease.

The next day, after breakfast. Old man Jiao went out to buy something, the old lady was at home with Jiao's mother to marinate bacon, etc., Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi helped out for a while and went to Jiao Wei's grandmother to guard the rabbit.

Jiao Wei took them to put a canned bottle on top of the hole in the rabbit hole, tied it to the bottle with a rope, held the other end of the rope in his hand, hid it, and when the little rabbits came out of the hole, they pulled the rope, and the falling canned bottle would block the hole, and Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi ran in to catch the little rabbit.

After Zheng Si watched from the side for a while, he felt a little bored, thinking about going back to sleep on the cat climbing frame, and when he jumped on the courtyard wall of Jiao Wei's house and was about to go to the old house, he found that Jiao's father was carrying a bag and walked out, and when he went out, he looked left and right.

Zheng Si, who was familiar with Jiao's father's style of acting, felt that Jiao's father was a little strange like this, anyway, there was nothing to do, so he simply jumped off the courtyard wall and followed.

On the way, Zheng Si saw a few cats lying on the haystack basking in the sun, it was cold, and the cats were holding their paws well, and they didn't bother to react when they saw Zheng Si.

What exposed Zheng Si was a big dog, and it kept barking after it found Zheng Si, but fortunately it was leashed, otherwise it would definitely come up and fight with Zheng Si.

Dad Jiao turned around and saw Zheng Si's expression a little complicated, and sighed, "Forget it, follow it, don't run around, there are many dogs around here." ”

Zheng Si was even more puzzled in his heart, who is Jiao's father going to?

followed Jiao's father for five minutes, came to a blue brick house, look at the house, it should be "long-history", the windows are all made of paper, the overall look is a little broken, compared to the houses of most people in the village, this family does not seem to have good living conditions.

Dad Jiao stood not far away and looked at the house for a few seconds before he walked over.

The wooden door was open, and the sunlight came in, and you could see the dust drifting in the air. There was a wooden chaise longue at the doorway, and an old woman was lying on the chaise longue, as if she were sleeping. What she was wearing was not the old clothes that were washed white and patched as Zheng Si imagined, but they looked pretty good, but this person was a little unkempt.

Very eccentric people.

A tortoiseshell cat with one leg missing was lying on the old woman's lap, much thinner than "Li Yuanba", and when it noticed that someone was coming, it moved its ears, opened a slit with its squinted eyes, glanced at the person and the cat, and closed it again, looking like it didn't want to pay attention.

Dad Jiao walked over and put down the things he was carrying, which were some health care products and daily necessities, brought from Chuhua City, and the price was not cheap.

On the recliner like a sleeping old woman, she slowly opened her eyes, although her face was full of wrinkles, she looked older than Old Man Jiao, but her eyes were dark and bright.

The old woman's gaze stayed on Jiao's father for a few seconds, and then moved to Zheng Si, who was standing next to Jiao's father's lap.

Zheng Si suddenly felt a chill on his back and a creepy feeling, and unconsciously retreated behind Jiao's father.

"This is not the cat of the past." The old woman suddenly said loudly.

There weren't too many ups and downs in her voice, and Zheng Si couldn't hear what emotions she was in when she said this. (To be continued......)
