Chapter 508: Xu Laosan's Way Home
A village in Hunan.
The people here make a living from farming, and their lives are not hard, but they are not good, at least they can ensure food and clothing.
There is a small piece of land in front of every household, which is also the source of income for every family every year, self-sufficiency, what you grow and eat, and the thousands of yuan you earn from selling grain a year are the economic source of the year.
At this time, in a family's field, an old man with white hair and wrinkled face and dark skin was bent down in the field doing farm work, for tonight is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and he has to go to the field to do farm work, in the eyes of the people around, it is also very strange.
Next to the fields is a high-slope path, the only one in the township, where every house is close to each other.
At this time, there was a peasant woman standing on the high slope, looking at the stone bridge at the entrance of the village with expectant eyes, which was the only passage in the village, because next to it was a canal carved out by hand, spanning both banks.
"Lao Xu, it's Chinese New Year's Eve tonight, you're still farming, ......." At this time, Lao Wang, a neighbor in the countryside, wearing brand new clothes, passed by this trail and said with a smile.
The old man who was farming, dressed in shabby clothes, raised his head and looked at it from a distance, "Yes...... ”
"Hey, come on, come up and smoke a cigarette, my son has come back from the city, and he just brought me a good cigarette, give it a try." The neighbor Lao Wang is the same age as Lao Xu, but judging from this face, Lao Xu is much older than Lao Wang.
"Okay......." Lao Xu put down the farm tools in his hand and smiled, but behind this smile was some sadness.
"Waiting for your son to come back again? I think it's over, you kid, after running away ten years ago, hasn't been back for so many years, maybe he got into trouble outside and was put in a prison cell. Lao Wang said.
The old woman who heard this was a little angry in her heart, but she couldn't think about it, and finally she could only sigh silently.
After Lao Xu came up, Lao Wang scattered a cigarette, "This cigarette is good, smoke slowly, my son is also promising, this went out to work, he was favored by the big boss, now I will drive for the big boss, some time ago, my son let me go to the city, I feel that it is time to go out and enjoy the happiness." ”
Lao Xu's fingers trembled slightly, and then nodded, "Yes, it's time to enjoy Qingfu, Zhihao, this kid is also promising." ”
Zhihao is Lao Wang's son, the same age as his son, and every time the Chinese New Year is the saddest time for Lao Xu's family.
"By the way, Lao Xu, your girl didn't come back this year?" Lao Wang asked.
"No, it should be almost there, I just called and I'm already on the way." Lao Xu said.
Although the folk customs in the countryside are simple, the comparison between neighbors is in the heart, which family has a child, which family has a child, which family has a new thing, and so on.
At this time, a car came from a distance.
"I'm back." Mrs. Xu had a smile on her face, her son left ten years ago and never came back, which has always been a pain in Mrs. Xu's heart, and in the end, the only sustenance is her daughter.
"Grandpa...... Grandmother. "At this time, a six-year-old boy ran out of the car,
"Oh, I'm here."
"Dad, Mom......."
Then a man and a woman got out of the car, and the man took out some gifts from the back box, and then came to the father-in-law.
For his daughter and son-in-law to come back, Lao Xu and his wife finally showed a sincere smile on their sad faces.
Lao Xu and his wife beckoned to their son-in-law, "Come, come and sit in the house." ”
"Mom and Dad, I will leave with Jiaming later, and this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will go to Jiaming's house." Lao Xu's daughter said with some embarrassment.
"Ah, haven't you been here this year?" Old woman Xu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked.
"Mingming's grandfather misses him, let Mingming pass, we can only be over there this year." Old Miss Xu said.
……。
Lao Xu and his wife, their original sincere smiles, were very embarrassed, and in the end they could only nod, "Then you can drink some tea and leave." ”
"Mom and Dad, I won't sit, it's a bit far, so I'll go first." Lao Xu's son-in-law said.
……。
Lao Wang looked at the scene in front of him, and also shook his head, although he likes to show off in front of Lao Xu, but he also feels sympathy for the situation of Lao Xu's family.
This married girl is just spilled water, and she can't get it back, it seems that Lao Xu and his family can only be lonely this year.
"Girl, then you can go, your parents have spent it with me this year." Lao Xu saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed at the moment, and he also stood up and said.
……。
At this time, it is at the entrance of the village.
A Koenigsegg sports car parked at the entrance of the village, with its black ghost-like body, attracted everyone's attention.
In the eyes of rural people, such a car has really not been seen, how can there only be one door, and the cars that you normally see are not all two?
Although they didn't know what the car was, they knew at a glance that it must be expensive.
At the same time, I can't figure out, who is coming back? In the village, although there are many young people who have made a living, they have never seen anyone drive this car back.
At this time, in the car, Xu Laosan sat there silently smoking a cigarette, and his fingers trembled slightly.
For Xu Laosan at this moment, he was not excited, but afraid, because he really didn't dare to face his parents.
I haven't come back for ten years, what kind of concept is this, maybe the family thinks they're dead.
This time, Lin Shao asked himself to come back to see his parents, originally Xu Laosan refused, but think about it, let's come back.
As for this sports car, Xu Laosan originally didn't want to be so high-profile, he just wanted to drive his own Mercedes-Benz, but when Xu Laosan was about to go home, Lin Shao directly drove the car over, parked in front of him, and let himself drive the car back.
When Xu Laosan looked at this car, he naturally disagreed, and it also explained the situation, after all, the family lives in the countryside, the road is not good, this bump and bump will not be over, and at the same time, he said bitterly, this is for Lin Shao's sake, after all, such a good car, it is really unnecessary.
But Lin Shao's words directly made his heart fall into hell.
"The money for this car counts as your salary."
In the end, Xu Laosan, who was helpless, could only drive back obediently.
This lasted for two days and one night, which also made Xu Laosan choke, and when he got closer and closer to his hometown, Xu Laosan's heart began to be nervous and scared.
At this time, a group of children in the village gathered around, and the children were very curious about this novelty, and wanted to reach out and touch it, but they were a little afraid.
Xu Laosan looked at this group of little children and smiled, "If you want to touch it, you can touch it, don't get your snot on it." ”
When the children heard this, they were also relieved to touch it with their hands.
"Little fat man, who are you?" Xu Laosan saw that one of the children in this group was quite familiar, and he also asked curiously.
"My dad's name is Zhang Dapang, and my name is Zhang Xiaopang......." The chubby little boy said with a snot in his hands.
"Oh, I said it's familiar, it turned out to be that kid's son, I didn't expect it to be so old" Xu Laosan smiled, "Come, uncle will give you a red envelope." ”
As soon as Zhang Xiaopang heard that there was a red envelope, he immediately ran over.
When I came back this time, Xu Laosan prepared a lot of red envelopes, and normally a thousand yuan in one bag, which is not too much, not too little.
"Take it, go back to your father, eat less in the future, don't be like your old man, fat like something." Xu Laosan said.
Zhang Xiaopang looked at Xu Laosan, "Uncle, my dad said, let me grow stronger, and I won't be bullied in the future." ”
"What, your father is always being bullied?" Xu Laosan said with a smile.
"Well, my father said that when he was a child, he was always bullied by a person named Xu Xiaoli because he was thin, I think I want to be stronger and avenge my father ...... in the future."
When Xu Laosan heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes, Xu Xiaoli is Xu Laosan's real name, because he disliked this name too girly, so he changed his name directly when he was in Zhongzhou, but he didn't expect that even children would remember it when he returned to his hometown.
"Go...... Hurry home. Xu Laosan waved his hand and said, and the children around him, seeing that Zhang Xiaopang got the red envelope, all looked at Xu Laosan intently, and the eager look revealed in his eyes also made Xu Laosan a little helpless.
"Come on...... There are red envelopes. Xu Laosan said with a smile.
……。
After getting this group of little children away, Xu Laosan also threw the cigarette butt on the ground, took a slight breath, and prepared to go.
At this time, an old man walked by Xu Laosan's car, and when Xu Laosan looked at it, he also shouted, "Uncle Liu, this new dress is good." ”
Uncle Liu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the people in the car with some doubts, who is this kid, why is it a little familiar.
"Hey, are you Xiaoli of the old Xu family?" The more Uncle Liu looked at it, the more he looked like it, and he was also surprised.
"yes." Xu Laosan smiled awkwardly, this name made Xu Laosan a little unbearable.
"You're back......." Uncle Liu looked at Xu Laosan, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.
"Well, I'm back, Uncle Liu, happy new year, this little red envelope is not a tribute, I used to spoil a lot of your radish ......." Xu Laosan took out a red envelope and said.
When he was a child, Xu Laosan was also a radish field that specifically plagued Uncle Liu's family, and he didn't know how many times he was beaten by his own son, now that I think about it, the conditions of Uncle Liu's family at that time were not good, and what I did was a bit excessive.
Uncle Liu took the red envelope mumbly.
"Uncle Liu, I'll come to your house tomorrow to pay your New Year's greetings, and I'll go back first."
……。
At this moment, a roar like a beast sounded, as if it spread throughout the village, and Uncle Liu was also frightened by this sound and trembled twice.
And when Xu Laosan left, Uncle Liu looked at it a little stupidly, and then suddenly reacted.
"The son of the old Xu family is back, this is amazing......." Uncle Liu was stunned, and then he opened the red envelope and saw that the pile of money was also blind.
"The son of the old Xu family has made a fortune, this is big news, no, I don't like to tell others about this matter, I don't like to tell others ......." After Uncle Liu put away the red envelope, he also began to publicize. (To be continued.) )
