I haven't been back to my hometown for many years. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Although the new houses in the village are getting more and more beautiful, this road is a dirt road that has never changed, even worse than before, and it is crushed by the potholes.

Chu Ji'an sighed while walking, at this time, there was a car horn behind him, and he hurriedly gave way to the side of the road, and a shiny black Mercedes-Benz swept past Chu Ji'an's clothes, and yellow mud and dust flew behind the car.

The car ran fifty or sixty meters away and came to a squeak with a braking. A gray-haired head stretched out and shouted at Chu Ji'an, "Is it Ji'an?" ”

Hearing this voice, Chu Ji was relieved, it was really a narrow road, Zhen Renyi!

Chu Ji'an responded, and Zhen Renyi shouted: "Come on, come on, get in the car!" Even though he was reluctant to do so in his heart, Chu Ji'an still struggled to catch up. Shout out to uncle, open the back door. The aunt in the back seat greeted Chu Ji'an and said, "Put it in the trunk." ”

Chu Ji'an had to take out the big bag that was put on the back seat and came to the back of the car. I waited for a while and said hello. The driver came down to see Chu Ji'an carrying the pestle there, and it turned out that he wouldn't open the trunk. The driver couldn't help but laugh and helped him put his bag in.

In the car, Chu Ji'an was sitting precariously with his hands on his laps. Looking at his restrained look, his aunt Chu Xiurong showed pity on her face and asked, "What are you doing with such a big bag?" ”

Chu Ji'an lowered his head and replied for a long time: "Uncle hasn't come back for so many years, I prepared some dried fish, dried shrimp, and peanuts for him to ......."

Chu Xiurong laughed out loud and said, "Silly boy, what can't you buy in a big city, aren't you working blindly?" ”

Chu Ji'an saw the driver grinning silently from the rearview mirror in the car, and his uncle Zhen Renyi was directly in front of him, so he couldn't see it, but Chu Ji'an could imagine him laughing. Chu Ji'an's face couldn't help but twitch twice.

Sure enough, the car is good, and the potholed road is not bumpy, Chu Ji'an can't help but admire. Chu Xiurong said slightly proudly: "That's, more than a million, your brother bought it for us." ”

As he spoke, the car had already entered the village, and suddenly a group of people greeted him. Chu Ji'an saw that his three uncles, three aunts, and cousins, etc., etc., were all from his own family. I can't help but sigh in my heart: people tend to be inflammatory. If you come with your bag, I'm afraid no one will greet you with such fanfare.

The tall and mighty Mercedes stopped next to a boxy Santana with a Jinling license plate. Chu Ji'an knew that this was Uncle Chu Anmin's car. Zhen Renyi and Chu Xiurong looked at this Santana, which was already behind the times, and glanced at each other, both showing smug looks.

The welcoming crowd saw Chu Ji'an, who was carrying a big bag and shabby clothes behind Zhen Renyi and his wife, some of them ignored it directly, and some of them squeezed out a smile and exchanged a few words of greeting. Everyone hugged Zhen Renyi and his wife and walked home. Chu Ji'an's third uncle, Chu Ansheng, lagged behind, looked Chu Ji'an up and down, frowned, and said, "Ji'an, what have you been doing for so long?" Your uncle came back today, how did you make it like this? How uncomfortable is it for him to see? ”

Chu Ji'an bowed his head and was silent. Hearing this, the third uncle Chu Ansheng sighed and said, "Let your brother take you to change into his clothes." ”

Chu Ji'an said stiffly: "Don't change!" Third Uncle Chu Ansheng shook his head, patted Chu Ji'an lightly on the back, and never spoke again. The people who had already entered the house in front of them burst out into warm greetings, and Chu Ji'an's uncle, Chu Anmin's southern Jiangsu accent, was particularly clear into Chu Ji'an's ears.

Chu Ji'an stood at the door for a moment, and slowly walked in with a black bag. The noisy sound in the room quickly disappeared, and a tall old man at the top table looked at Chu Ji'an, and everyone couldn't help but look at it together.

Although this old man is over seventy years old, his waist is red, his complexion is very good, and he naturally has a silent momentum when he sits there, which makes people secretly respect. He is the uncle Chu Anmin, who has been an official in Jinling for decades, and has been retired for more than ten years at this time.

Chu Anmin had been sitting, but he slowly stood up at this moment, and an amiable smile appeared on his face that had changed color instantly when he saw Chu Ji'an: "Ji'an is here." ”

"Hello uncle!" Chu Ji'an hurriedly stepped forward and held the uncle's generous and warm hand, which seemed to reach his heart, making Chu Ji'an's coldest and hardest place feel soft.

"Come, sit next to me!" Uncle Chu Anmin arranged Chu Ji'an to sit next to him. Zhen Renyi, who was already seated here, had to move a position, and when he saw the affection of the Chu family's uncle and nephew holding hands and not letting go, his face suddenly turned long, and he glanced at them coldly. Chu Anmin has been retired for more than ten years, and he is no longer the eldest brother he looked up to at the beginning, giving him face is love, what can he do if he doesn't give him face?

Chu Ji'an put the big bag at his feet, and one hand was held by Chu Anmin. Although Chu Anmin smiled, Chu Ji'an clearly saw that there was water in his eyes that were no longer very open.

Zhen Renyi was already chatting with everyone at this time, which was nothing more than humbly revealing his wealth there. Aunt Chu Xiurong and a group of women showed off their clothes, jewelry, and gems, this was bought by the eldest son, this was bought by the second son, and so on.

Chu Ji'an listened silently, without making a sound, and the place in his heart that was melted by the uncle hardened again. Ignoring the occasional look of pity or ridicule from others.

The hour hand gradually turned to 12 o'clock, and the third uncle asked, "Sister, why haven't they arrived yet?" ”

Aunt Chu Xiurong said: "Let whoever go to the village to watch, the manager of their Yanshi branch will personally drive it." Just see four Mercedes Benz coming, that's it. ”

Zhen Renyi said: "Let's start the table, don't wait!" They eat a big meal every day, and they can't eat anything when they come back. Take a turn, chat, and look at Big Brother, it's good. Open! ”

Third Uncle Chu Ansheng looked at his eldest brother Chu Anmin, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Uncle Chu Anmin asked Chu Ji'an: "Ji'an, what do you have in this bag?" Chu Ji'an was a little embarrassed and said, "Uncle, I don't have anything." Took a bottle of wine. As he spoke, he leaned under the table and took out a box of cigarette brew from his bag.

Uncle Zhen Renyi sneered: "Can your uncle drink this wine?" Come, I took some of the wines they brought back from France. Big brother try it! I'm afraid the eldest brother may not know this wine! As he spoke, he took out a few bottles of foreign wine from the gift bag behind him and next to the ancient liquor in the tobacco market, Chu Ji'an only recognized the xo on it.

The two kinds of liquor are placed together, the rustic Yanshi ancient liquor is like a rural old woman, and the bottle of graceful and golden liquor is like a white girl with blonde hair and snowy skin.

Immediately, a young man of his son and nephew screamed and took a few bottles of foreign wine in his hand and said, "This wine must be valuable." It's not that kind of cheap goods, it looks high-end at first glance! A few people watched it and admired it, but no one paid attention to the lone bottle of tobacco market ancient wine on the table. Aunt Chu Xiurong smiled, squinting at the silent Chu Ji'an.

Uncle Chu Anmin glanced deeply at the embarrassed Chu Ji'an, smiled and said slowly: "I'm not used to drinking foreign wine, so I want to drink hometown wine." I'm going to drink the wine that Ji'an gave me. Chu Ji was shocked, he didn't dare to turn his head, for fear that the uncle would see his moist eyes.

The wine was full, people gathered, more than a dozen tables were placed inside and out, the Chu family was gathered, and the family banquet was opened.

The uncle took the ancient liquor from the tobacco market, stopped his daughter from drinking with his eyes, and raised his hand to stop a few pairs of hands that reached out to snatch the wine bottle and pour wine for him, and poured clean, transparent, pure and immaculate liquor in the two cups in front of him.

Under the gaze of everyone, a cup was handed to Chu Ji'an, and he picked up a cup himself. Standing up, with red eyes, he said to Chu Ji'an, who was standing up in a hurry, "Ji'an, Uncle is old, useless, and I can't help you." I'm sorry second brother, second sister, and you, you suffered. Although there are difficulties, we Chu family children will never lose to others, this was the case before, and it will be the same in the future! Come on, do it! ”

With a sound of "Zheng", the two cups touched together, and Chu Anmin raised his neck and threw away a cup of spicy liquor. Chu Ji'an hurriedly poured it down. In the afterglow of his eyes, he clearly saw tears rolling down the corners of his uncle's eyes!

Zhen Renyi laughed when he saw this scene, and his laughter was full of complacency and disdain. In his heart, everyone here wants to look up to the existence of his Zhen family, including Chu Anmin, a former high-ranking official who has been retired for more than ten years.
