Chapter 50: The Warmth of Home
"Aunt Seven."
"Third uncle."
"Fourth grandfather."
Cheng Xiaoyu just got out of the car, before he had time to say hello to his family, the neighbors in the village came around, the rural winter talent is two meals, during the day is not the Zhang family and the Li family are hanging out or get together to play mahjong, this time is the time to go home to cook in the afternoon, the villagers on the snowy road saw Cheng Xiaoyu, came to say hello, Cheng Xiaoyu also showed a sincere smile to welcome the enthusiasm of the hometown people.
"Honestly, your Daewoo is back!" The bustle at the gate of the courtyard has attracted the attention of the people in the three tiled houses of Cheng Xiaoyu's house.
"Uncle!" The door was pushed open from the inside, and the first to rush out was a seven or eight-year-old girl, the snow in the yard was swept clean, the little girl shouted while opening her arms and threw herself into Cheng Xiaoyu's arms, wearing a red little cotton jacket, with a faint snotty nose under the braids, and two small dimples with a smile, this is Cheng Xiaoyu's niece Yang Dan, a cute little girl.
Four people walked out of the room one after another, first of all a tall and dark thin old man with a serious hunchback, seeing his father, who was only forty-seven years old this year but gave people the feeling of being nearly sixty years old, Cheng Xiaoyu shouted with a little excitement: "Dad." ”
"Huh." Cheng Cheng Cheng is an honest person, not very good at expressing his emotions, and nodded.
"You kid, why don't you call your brother-in-law in advance when you come back and ask him to pick you up." Cheng's mother Wang Xiumei, who followed Cheng Laoshi, was obviously two people with her husband's surname, and she quickly chased her husband to her son, and first picked up the computer bag on Cheng Xiaoyu's body, some complaints but full of surprises.
"Mom." Wang Xiumei is a typical rural woman, she has not been far away for more than 40 years, Meicheng more than 20 kilometers away and Longhai City more than 10 kilometers away is the big city in her eyes.
"Dandan, don't rely on your uncle, I'm very tired after a day in the car." Approaching the end of the year, every family has to prepare New Year's goods, today the family steamed sticky bean buns, Cheng Xiaoyu's sister Cheng Xiaojuan's family came to help, and was about to eat, Cheng Xiaojuan stretched out her hand to take over her daughter from her younger brother.
"No, I miss my uncle." Yang Dan's face turned, his hands tightly hugged Cheng Xiaoyu's neck, and ignored his mother's request.
"Sister, let me hold it." Cheng Xiaoyu's feelings for his sister are very special, family planning in rural areas has not been fully implemented, very few families have a child, especially if the first child gives birth to a girl, he will hold back his strength to give birth to a second child, even if he is fined.
Cheng Laoshi is no exception, after giving birth to a daughter, he wants a son, his sister, who is four years older, has taken her younger brother since she was a child, and she is half a mother when she is busy with farming, and Cheng Xiaojuan's bride price money was not taken away, but Cheng Xiaoyu was given as tuition, which Cheng Xiaoyu firmly remembered in his heart and did not forget.
"Daewoo, call me first when you come back, I'll pick you up." Brother-in-law Yang Guoping put Cheng Xiaoyu's big suitcase on his shoulders with both hands, and he didn't dare to drag the brand-new suitcase on the ground for fear of getting dirty. A typical rural man, capable and able to play at home, and Cheng Xiaojuan and Cheng Xiaojuan have lived a very prosperous life, and they are also a model in this ten miles and eight tuns.
"Come in, get inside, it's cold outside." Wang Xiumei didn't care about anyone at the moment, she only cared about her son, but Cheng honestly thought more, and shouted to the neighbors outside: "Third brother, fourth sister-in-law, second uncle, come to eat at home." ”
"No, no, your family is reunited, and we'll come back tomorrow." Everyone waved their hands and dispersed.
"Damn, Xiaojuan, kill the goose. Guoping, go and take out the bacon from the warehouse, and the pork. At this time, I could see who the head of the family was, Cheng Laoshi began to assign tasks after entering the house, and the simple meal that was being prepared was naturally stranded, and when his son came back, he naturally had to prepare the most reliable meal - goose stewed sauerkraut, pork vermicelli.
He himself took out bags from under the cabinet on the ground, which contained all kinds of fruits, don't look at what he said he couldn't express, but when his son came back, he must be the happiest to be a father.
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't stop the enthusiasm of his family, and he really wanted to eat the food at home, the taste of the food stewed in the big pot was different, and the popularity of farmhouse rice in the city in the past two years was extraordinary.
"Uncle, uncle, what is this?" Yang Dan was always in Cheng Xiaoyu's arms, and when he saw the backpack containing the laptop, he curiously climbed over on the kang and opened it.
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and put the notebook on the kang table, opened it for Yang Dan, and called up a more childlike game, Yang Dan's attention was immediately attracted to the past, and he said that he missed his uncle before, but now he was completely hooked away by the new things in front of him.
While everyone was busy, Cheng Xiaoyu looked around, the home was still the same home, a little dilapidated but very tidy, a twenty-one-inch TV, and a kang cabinet that existed when he was born.
Warmth, the big pot in the kitchen is steaming, the fire is burning hot, this is home, this warmth you can't feel anywhere.
Cheng Xiaoyu pulled the big suitcase over and opened it, which contained some gifts that he prepared casually, and more gifts he was going to Meicheng to buy, which was also the reason why he didn't get off the car in Longhai Town as soon as he got off the bus to Xiong Wei and Zhang Sen's house, he was homesick, he wanted to go home immediately, and he couldn't wait to get home immediately.
"Daewoo." Pears, apples, oranges, Cheng Laoshi walked in with a fruit bowl.
"Dad, you sit, give, these phone calls are for you, tomorrow we will go into the city to buy you a few cards, and it will be convenient to contact you then." Cheng Xiaoyu took out a few phones that he carefully jumped out to keep, although they are second-hand, they are all new, and they are all mid-to-high-end machines, which will cost thousands of yuan and nearly 10,000 yuan if you buy a few new mobile phones.
At this time, the goose was also caught, just waiting for Cheng to kill him, Wang Xiumei and Cheng Xiaojuan heard the voice in the house, saying that the child spent money indiscriminately, but they were very happy to see the mobile phone, in this era, mobile phones have entered thousands of households, and they have long been converted from luxury goods to consumer goods, but for the Cheng family, the son is not married, and he is reluctant to spend a few hundred yuan, and only Yang Guoping has a mobile phone in the family, and he has used an old-fashioned color screen mobile phone for several years.
"This has to be quite expensive, go back to Guoping, you give the money to Daewoo." The daughter who got married is a foreigner, Cheng Xiaojuan didn't want to take advantage of her younger brother, and said to her husband who couldn't put down one of the most high-end mobile phones after coming in with bacon and pork.
"Sister, what are you talking about? That's what I do, it's all very cheap to take me and fix it myself......" Cheng Xiaoyu frowned, my sister has been helping the family for so many years, although my brother-in-law doesn't say it, but the gossip in the village must be uncomfortable in his heart, and now that he has the ability to change the environment of the whole family, he naturally wants to reciprocate.
"Uncle, do you have any of my gifts?"
