Chapter Seventy-Six: Strange Relatives (Part II)

Sanhe Town, a small town under the jurisdiction of Yueji City, all the areas added up to only two or three streets, but as the midpoint station of the entire small village in all directions, there are still a lot of people every time they catch the market.

Wu Ling's family took a bus, but it took less than half an hour to pass through the urban area of Yueji City and come to a more remote town.

The streets of Trois-Rivières are crowded, and it seems that it is the time to go to the market, and most of the people dressed plainly are carrying bamboo weaving or baskets, and most of the vehicles that can be seen are agricultural tricycles and motorcycles.

Sitting on the bus, Wu Ling happened to be at the side of the window, turning his head sideways to look at the scene outside.

At this time, the passenger car had slowed down, and as the three-wheeled cars passed by, large patches of yellow dust were constantly raised, and occasionally a few donkey carts and carriages passed by, and the smell of livestock feces and urine could be smelled.

"It's so lively, I haven't been back for so long, and we've changed a lot here!" Looking at the people coming and going outside the window, Chang Huifang couldn't help but sigh.

Because it was relatively close, Third Uncle Liang in front also heard Chang Huifang's emotion, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but continue: "That's not it, although there is still no way for our side to compare with the outside, but it has also begun to develop." Angkor and sister-in-law, don't leave when you come back this time, the development in Yueji City is actually the same! ”

Third Uncle Liang was very enthusiastic, but Wu Xueqing and the others did not answer this conversation. After all, whether it is from the perspective of Wu Ling's schooling, or from the fruit store that is improving, it is not a good choice to return to Yueji City.

Passing through the lively streets, we slowly came to the more desolate countryside. Compared to the low, but still lively street, the scenery outside is even more deserted. The field as far as the eye can see, if it weren't for the wheat breaking the ground adding a layer of green to the land, the whole scene would be even more desolate.

After walking for about ten minutes, passing through one village after another, I was able to regain a trace of popularity.

This kind of scenery is indeed relatively new to Wu Ling, different from the prosperity of the city, there is another breath of this world. Deserted, silent, clear. It seems that you can still vaguely see the shadow of the oldest time in this world, and here is the most real land that gave birth to human beings.

Different from Wu Ling's curiosity, as they got closer to their hometown, Wu Xueqing and Chang Huifang had some expressions of expectation mixed with fear on their faces. Nostalgia is not just four simple words.

The minivan moved slowly and finally passed a dirt road and stopped at a forked intersection.

"Angkor, sister-in-law, it's home!" Uncle Liang's voice rang out.

Picking up their things, the family stepped out of the bus. Originally, Wu Xueqing wanted to give money for the car, but Uncle Liang didn't want anything, and finally left a sentence that he must go over to drink during the New Year, and drove out in a passenger car.

"Ryoko is still so polite!" Wu Xueqing sighed.

"From childhood to adulthood, of course I have feelings. It's the same as yours, because a woman, a brother is not a brother, and a father and son are not a father and son! Chang Huifang said with a slight complaint.

Hearing this, Wu Xueqing's face had a trace of complicated feelings. The originally happy expression slowly calmed down, and he took the lead in carrying the bag and walked out without speaking.

Wu Ling knew that this was another problem for his father, and the problem with his parents, brother and sister-in-law before.

Wu Xueqing left his hometown to work hard when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, at that time Wu Xueqing's brother had just gotten married, after all, it was a rural area, so the family was not rich, especially in the eighties, which can be said to be the most difficult era in the countryside. At that time, when a child gets married, almost all the foundation of the family can be emptied.

Wu Xueqing's brother almost faced such a problem when he got married, his family was poor, and he didn't have a special house, so the other party didn't want to marry. In order to allow his brother to marry a daughter-in-law, Wu Xueqing directly dropped out of school and went out to work with a few yuan, which allowed the uncle to marry a daughter-in-law and build a house.

But it is not that the problem of marrying a daughter-in-law is over, but the problem is getting bigger and bigger. The eldest mother is strong, and she feels that marrying the uncle is a bit of a loss, so whether it is facing the division of land or the money after the separation, she has always accounted for the lion's share.

Dad was kind, and he didn't care about any of this at first. But after marrying Chang Huifang, these things gradually became the biggest rift between the two families, making the relationship between the already in-depth concubines even more tense. At the beginning, because of these things, there was a lot of trouble, and the entire town of Three Rivers had a general understanding of this family's affairs.

Although Chang Huifang is a person with a stubborn temper, she is not an unreasonable person. But in the face of the unreasonable aunt, Wu Xueqing and Chang Huifang had almost no choice, and the mother had a good face. I feel that there is such a big ugliness here, there is no way to stay at all.

So not long after Wu Ling was born, the family went out directly to work hard and didn't go back for more than ten years. Even when I usually come back, I will live at my grandmother's house, and rarely return to my grandfather's house not far from the back village.

The grievances of the previous generation, Wu Ling slowly understood after growing up. But at that time, the previous generation was slowly getting older, and a lot of grievances were let go. Wu Xueqing also took Wu Ling back once, but at that time, his grandparents had already passed away one after another. Although he didn't say it, Wu Ling could also feel it, which was actually a pity for Wu Xueqing.

Chang Huifang naturally knew Wu Xueqing's current mood, but when she returned here, she would inevitably bring some of her previous emotions, so she said it unconsciously. I wanted to say something, but I didn't feel that I was wrong, so the family of three had to keep their heads down and hurry away in silence.

Not long after, a few people rushed to meet me, and after listening to the introduction, it turned out to be my uncle's family who lived with my grandmother.

Uncle's family, in addition to uncle, also has a pair of children from uncle. The three of them rushed over to help carry something, but after some pushing, they were still refused.

The three adults walked in front to lead the way, the three children walked behind, Wu Ling walked on his own, and the children of his uncle's family walked on the side, but Wu Ling noticed that the other party looked at him from time to time.

This time I came out, maybe with a show, or with a show that the outside life is not bad. So Chang Huifang dressed up Wu Ling well, with decent new clothes up and down, plus Wu Ling's appearance and temperament now, he is a first-class and attractive handsome young man wherever he puts it. Not to mention in the dusty countryside, the teenagers and girls here are less delicate in the city and more in the unique wind and frost of the countryside.

Although he was just standing here, the aura of the whole person was already strong to a certain extent. Not to mention that it was just a young man about the same age as him, even the uncle who met for the first time just now showed a surprised expression on his face from time to time.

In politeness, Wu Ling took the initiative to talk about it, but when he saw that the other party raised his eyes, he immediately bowed his head with low self-esteem, and he temporarily gave up this idea in his heart. So I just said hello mildly and introduced myself. Although they are a pair of rustic cousins, Wu Ling still has some impressions of them.

In the previous life, Wu Ling did not have his current state. The first time I returned to the countryside, I was even more introverted than my current cousin and cousin, and I didn't know how to get along with adults or what I was going to do. His parents chatted with relatives they hadn't seen for a long time, and they ignored him.

It's still the cousin and cousin in front of him, they took Wu Ling to play around, so that he didn't get bored and moldy. Therefore, Wu Ling still has a good impression of the person in front of him.

After walking for a few minutes, several people came to a large courtyard, which was the home where my uncle and grandmother lived.

The yard is naturally not like the pursuit of comfort and beauty in the city, but it is a very simple house and then surrounded by a courtyard wall outside, facing a small gate at the door, this is the courtyard where the family lives.

Of course, although the house is relatively basic, the surrounding environment is not bad. There is a small river directly in front of the door, and there are tall poplar trees in front of and on the left and right, and although they are now bare, they can be seen in the summer, and the scenery here is certainly not bad.

Walking into the courtyard, there were already quite a few people inside. Whether it's a visit or a special one to come and see and help, it makes the not too small yard full of popularity. As soon as I walked into the small courtyard, in addition to the noise in my ears, there was only the ubiquitous smell of meat.

After all, it is the Chinese New Year, and the countryside is not the same as the city. If you really lack ingredients in the city, you can buy them directly, but the countryside is different, far away from the crowd, there are few large supermarkets. You can go to the field to find some greens and the like, but you can't have less meat, and once it's missing, it's not enough for the New Year.

Therefore, during the Chinese New Year, it is indispensable to kill chickens and pigs. Now cook the meat first, and when it comes, take it out and cook it directly, which is convenient and fast.

Seeing Wu Ling's family come back, my grandmother was still very happy.

My grandfather died relatively early, leaving only my grandmother alone with five or six children, and although she lived with her uncle's family, she couldn't see other children all year round, so she would still be a little lonely.

Especially Chang Huifang, who is the third girl, after leaving home, she can't come back once for many years, and even if she does, she rarely comes back with her family. After all, it is not reunited, and now that Wu Ling's family is back, especially Wu Ling, a rare grandson, it makes the old man even happier.

"Okay, just come back, just come back. Xiao Tao, hurry up and bring your things back, you're tired along the way! ”

With my grandmother's order, a few guys came out to pick up things. In the countryside, there are many people named Tao, and I really don't know who this sentence is.
