Chapter 25 Returning to the hometown to visit relatives

Leaving Yantou Peak in Yanzhen, the tour team continued to go up the Yunmeng River.

When a tributary of the Yunmeng River called Lei Shui appeared, the traveling team turned along the Lei Shui and swam towards the Lei Shui.

The Yunmeng River turns to the southwest here, and the upstream comes from the southwest, and the upstream source is in Zhuzhen, a large town in the southwest of Yunmeng County, which is far away from here.

The thunder water comes from the southeast, and there is Lin Town, a large town in the southeast of Yunmeng County, in the middle and upper reaches.

Linzhen, also known as Linyi, means city in the forest, indicating that it is located in a mountainous area and surrounded by forests.

Yushan's hometown, Yujia Village, is within the jurisdiction of Lin Town.

The traveling team passed through the forest town on the shore of the thunder water, and then walked a day away, and there were many small rivers in front of them that merged into the thunder water, and there was a small wharf on the bank.

This small pier is more familiar.

At the beginning of last year, I left my hometown to go to the county seat, and it was here that I boarded the boat, and then took a boat down the river, entering the Yunmeng River from the thunder water, and arriving at the lower reaches of the Yunmeng River.

There is an inn on the small pier.

The conditions of the inn are simple, but it is better than sleeping in the open air, at least you can take a hot bath, sleep on the bed, and eat local specialties.

Among the several tributaries that flow into the thunder water, there is one Yushan, which is more intimate, and Yujia Village is in the upper reaches of that small river.

Yujia Village is still fifty or sixty miles away, and the traveling team stayed at the Wharf Inn.

Early the next morning, Yushan, Kui Yu, and Liang Rou went out, leaving the others to stay at the inn and wait for three days.

The three of them changed into clean clothes today, and the clothes looked good, but they didn't look abruptly gorgeous.

Kui was leading a donkey with two large packages and several small packages on its back.

The small parcel is the personal belongings of the three people, and the two large parcels are all from the city, specially brought back to honor their parents and villagers.

Yushan didn't want Liang Rou to follow, but Liang Rou slept earlier than anyone else last night, just didn't give a chance to meet and talk, and got up earlier than anyone else today, and when Yushan came out of the guest room, she was already standing at the intersection with a donkey, of course, there was Kui Yu beside her, so it was naturally not good for Yushan to do something that made Liang Rou lose face in front of her disciples.

The three were relatively silent along the way.

Yushan minded Liang Rou and went to Yujia Village.

Liang Rou was cautious and silent, lest she be accidentally driven back to the inn.

Those who are as smart as Kui will not add to the chaos at this time, leading the donkey to open the way in front, and try to walk as fast as possible, for fear that if they accidentally let out a loud fart, it will cause variables and another consequence.

After walking more than half the distance, I couldn't help but get entangled in the mountain, looking at Yujia Village from afar, and returning to my heart like an arrow.

Arrived at the riverside at the entrance of the village.

Seeing a familiar figure fishing, Yushan smiled happily and waved his hand vigorously to say hello, "Daddy Luo! Daddy Luo! I'm Riding the Mountain!"

The hunchbacked old man by the river looked up.

Immediately laughed from ear to ear, threw the fishing net in his hand to the ground, and staggered to the intersection with a bucket of fish, waving his hand and shouting: "Mountain! Hahaha! The mountain is back!"

Hearing the commotion, the little figure who was dozing on his stomach in the mud at the intersection suddenly became clever and quickly got up.

"Brother Yushan! Brother Yushan!"

The little girl's two little legs ran fast, and she came straight to the mountain, tearing her throat open and screaming.

Yushan hurriedly squatted down and opened his arms, hey, hey, hugged the little figure that flew over, "Hahaha! It turned out to be a little girl! I haven't seen it for a long time, the little girl has grown so tall!"

The little girl is black, thin, dirty, and looks like a little skinny monkey who has just rolled in the mud.

A six- or seven-year-old child, there are not even a few taels of meat on her body, Yushan is so distressed when she hugs her, but the little girl is so happy, smiling and grinning.

When Father Luo saw Yushan's expression, he had to sigh and said, "This year, the little girl was sick for a while, and it was hard to recover." ”

Immediately afterwards, Father Luo hurriedly regained his smile, thinking that Shan'er's return to the village today was a happy event, and there was no need to affect his mood because of his granddaughter's affairs.

"Don't say more, Shan'er is going to the village quickly, your father and mother are waiting!" After Father Luo finished speaking, he trotted forward with the wooden barrel, and shouted to the village with a smile: "Shan'er is back!"

Yushan hugged the little girl and followed.

Liang Rou quickened her steps and approached Yushan's side, there was an extra cloth bag in her hand, the cloth bag was bulging, and she handed it to Yushan and reminded in a whisper: "Yushan, these should be what you are going to distribute to the little children!"

"Oh, I almost forgot about that. Yushan freed up one hand and reached into the cloth bag to grab a handful of sugar particles and stuffed them into the little girl's pocket.

Liang Rou saw the stitches, and had already peeled off a sugar particle and sent it to the little girl's mouth.

The little girl squinted her eyes and held the sugar particles, and shouted with a vague smile: "It's so sweet, it's so sweet! The sugar particles are so delicious! My sister is so beautiful! My sister's hands are so fragrant!"

Then the little girl opened her arms to Liang Rou, meaning that she wanted her to hug.

Liang Rou was very happy when she saw it, and she didn't dislike the dirty little girl at all, so she hugged her from Yushan's hands.

Yushan couldn't care so much, and there were many figures in front of him, all of them were very familiar and kind, and they were smiling and rushing to greet them.

"Hello Aunt Zhang!", "Hello Aunt Wang!", "Hello Third Uncle!" "Hello Uncle Cousin!"...... Yushan greeted all the way over, and saluted when he saw the elders.

Liang Rou's face was flushed, both nervous and happy, and she followed closely behind Yushan, fortunately holding the little girl, otherwise there would be nowhere to put her hands at this moment, and she could only secretly pull the corners of her clothes.

Kui Yan led the donkey to walk at the end, and when he saw Yushan greeting and saluting, he also nodded or saluted, with a smile on his face.

As we walked forward, there were more and more people on both sides of the road, and everyone was smiling and very festive to welcome Yushan.

There were also a lot of small figures in the crowd, as long as they could walk and run, all of them ran fast, ran over and surrounded Yushan, and happily called Brother Yushan.

The mountain riders were in a hurry, picking up this one and lifting it high, and then lifting that one and lifting it high, calling their nicknames with a smile in their mouths, "Tuotuo", "Miao Miao", "Little Huzi", "Little Yezi", ......

Miao Miao is an eight or nine-year-old little girl, when Yushan lifted her, she laughed and burst into tears, and complained in her small mouth: "Brother Yushan, you haven't held Miao Miao high for a long time." ”

Seeing that Yushan couldn't get busy, Kui Yu rushed forward to take the cloth bag to help divide the sugar particles, and quickly mingled with the dolls.

Tuotuo, who was only five or six years old, was a ghost elf, holding sugar particles and shouting: "Brother Yushan has sent sugar particles! Brother Yushan is going home with his daughter-in-law today!"

What a little sensible.

Liang Rou couldn't wait to go over and hug Tuo Tuo twice, but now she was really shy, and instantly blushed to the base of her neck, and the whole person had nowhere to put it, so she had to stick closer to Yushan.

The little girl also got out of Liang Rou's arms and rushed to the baby pile to make a fuss together.

Yushan's face was also red, and he couldn't wait to give himself two slaps, he missed this stubble by all means, what is not good to buy, why do you want to buy sugar particle hair?

What's bigger is my father's mother, I want my father and mother not to think about it, is it possible?

So I had to find the Kui brothers in the rivers and lakes for help.

Taking advantage of a gap, he whispered a few words in Kui Yu's ear.

Kui Yan behaved like an elder, and actually turned against the guest and whispered a lesson to Yushan, "I said you! Do you need to be so rigid? You only come back once in a few years, can't you let the villagers make your father and mother happy? Just stay for two or three days, even if there is a misunderstanding, can you have a piece of meat? In my opinion, other girls will suffer!"

Yushan hit a gray nose, but he was taught a lesson, but he couldn't refute it at all.

Speaking of Kui Yan, what he said is indeed right, today's misunderstanding is that the sugar particles are the beginning, which is caused by himself, and he can't complain about Liang Rou.

On the contrary, he did bring embarrassment to Liang Rou, thinking that a girl's family was misunderstood in this strange place, what should I do?

Even if you reluctantly explain it to the villagers, can you explain it clearly? Not to mention that it's not just looking for something to toss.

Because he is a man and the host, he naturally has to take care of the guests, so Yushan has to let Liang Rou stick to him.

Later, Liang Rou, who was very nervous and very shy, couldn't help but hold Yushan's arm, and the whole person was completely taken away by Yushan.

Yushan didn't push back on this, after all, human nature, everyone has times of nervousness and embarrassment.

Well, this matter can only be admitted for the time being.

At the door of the house, Yushan's father and mother were already looking, and as soon as they saw Yushan appear, Yushan's tears gushed out, and Yushan's father grinned, and his eyes were red when he smiled.

The husband and wife are only about 40 years old this year, but they look old like 50-year-olds, and there are already a lot of gray hairs on their heads.

Yushan burst into tears, and quickly ran to his father and mother to kowtow.

"Mountain, get up, kid, get up!"

Yushan Niang bent down to help Yushan, tears from the head to the feet, it was clear that Yushan had grown taller and stronger, but no matter how she looked at it, she felt thin, and she was talking about the child's hardships outside.

Yushan felt that his mother's waist was getting more and more difficult to straighten, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down.

Yushan's father turned around and wiped his eyes, turned his head and grinned, urging Yushan Niang to let the child into the house quickly, and at the same time looked at Liang Rou and Kui Yu, and politely greeted the house.

This scene made Kui Yu and Liang Rou's eyes wet, and the two of them saluted Yushan's father, lowered their heads and walked inside, reaching out to wipe their eyes from time to time.

Yushan Niang and Yushan Dad both saw the pretty girl next to Yushan, and they were surprised and happy:

This girl looks so handsome, and she is so pure! She looks quite sensible! Isn't it a mountain......

Although I didn't dare to think in that direction, I thought that how could a girl with such good conditions look down on a poor country like ours.

But he couldn't stop thinking in that direction, thinking to himself what a blessing it would be if Shan'er could marry this daughter-in-law!

The door of Yushan is lively.

Daddy Luo carried a bucket of fresh fish to the door, Aunt Zhang brought a pot of chicken and duck eggs, and Aunt Wang brought a few pieces of bacon that had been smoked on the firewood stove at home and was reluctant to eat,......

There are more than 30 families in the small village, and every household has come, and the big flat at the entrance of the house is full of people.

Although it is called Yujia Village, in fact, there are only a few families with the surname Yu, and it is said that it was the first people with the surname Yujia to settle down here, so it is called Yujia Village.

The third uncle of the Yu family said that in the past few days, a banquet has been held, and the whole village has a dinner together.

The daughters-in-law hurriedly went home to carry rice and vegetables in Daping, as well as home-brewed sweet potato wine.

The young men went to each house to move tables, chairs and benches, and set up a scene in the large lawn.

The men used clay bricks to set up stoves, made fires to boil water, and then dragged pigs and sheep to kill them and slaughter them.

When the babies heard about the banquet, they were so happy that they were jumping around in the big ping.

The old men and women squatted by the stove to add firewood, smiling and looking at the babies, their wrinkled faces full of peace and joy.

There were a few young women holding the doll that could not walk on the ground, and the baby in her arms looked at the brother and sister who were bouncing on the ground, stretched out her little hand and babbled, and the little body struggled outward, and the young woman simply let the baby crawl on the ground, and watched from a short distance, helping to wipe the table and set the dishes and chopsticks.

In the hall, Yushan was preparing to introduce Liang Rou and Kui to his father.

Kui Yan took the first step and said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, my name is Kui Yan, I am the brother with the best relationship with Yushan, and I am also the deputy of Yushan, Yushan is now the person in charge of our manor, everyone calls him the owner, with his down-to-earth diligence and ability, the people above are very appreciative and heavy Yushan." ”

Seeing that the young man who looked older than Yushan said that he was Yushan's deputy, Yushan's father naturally thought that he was being modest and polite.

So Yushan's father arched his hand to Kui Yao, "Kui Xiao's little brother is good! Yushan can have such brothers to help him, and his father will be at ease at home, and in the future, I will ask Kui Xiao's little brother to take care of Yushan." ”

Kui Yan hurriedly bowed in return, with a smile on his face, and did not open his mouth to explain anything, lest he listen to too many things and feel uneasy.

Immediately afterwards, Kui Yan introduced Liang Rou to Yushan's father.

"Uncle and aunt, this is the deputy owner of our manor, Liang Rou, a good partner of Yushan, the two of them work together, very tacit understanding, and make our manor better and better. ”

"Oh-"

Father Yushan suddenly realized, and arched his hand to Liang Rou and said: "Dare to be taken care of by Miss Liang Rou, I said otherwise, how can our family Yushan be the person in charge of a manor." ”

"Father Yushan is here to thank Miss Liang Rou! In a poor and remote place, the hospitality is not good, the hospitality is not good, and I hope that Miss Liang Rou will not be disgusted. ”

Liang Rou stepped forward with a red face, bowed to Yushan's father and Yushan Niang, and replied cordially: "Uncle and aunt are too polite, Rou'er doesn't often come out and walk, and she doesn't know how to be polite, I hope that my uncle and aunt will bear with me, and my uncle and aunt will call Rou'er in the future, and the younger generation will not be nervous." ”

What a girl!

is obviously from the eldest lady, but she is gentle and virtuous, pure and kind, and there is no young lady at all.

With the experience and insight of Yushan's father, what I thought in my heart must be because Miss Rou'er is good to Yushan, and Rou'er's parents are able to re-educate Yushan to give him a space for development, otherwise how can there be such a good thing and become the owner of the manor.

Then Liang Rou took out two pieces of jade wearing a sling from her arms.

The jade looks very ordinary, not eye-catching at all, and the hanging rope is even more ordinary, the rope head of the rotten street.

Liang Rou gave the jade to Yushan's father and Yushanniang and said, "Please put it on first, uncle and aunt, Rou'er's little care, don't refuse." ”

"This..."The father hesitated.

Although this pair of jade doesn't look valuable, it looks like adults go to roadside stalls to buy for children to wear and play, but how can they casually accept gifts from others.

However, seeing that Yushan didn't make a sound of persuasion, he had to put it on first, and no matter how much he said it, he couldn't cool down Miss Rou'er's heart.

After wearing the jade, the place where the jade sticks to the chest is warm.

At first, Yushan's father and mother didn't appreciate it carefully, but after only a short while, "How is this..."

Yushan's father and mother were speechless in surprise for a while.

Father Yushan only felt comfortable all over his body, and the old injuries and pains on his body were instantly gone, as if he had never been like that, how could it not be surprising.

The same is true of Yushan Niang, the rheumatic pain that began many years ago instantly improved, especially her old waist, she only felt very strong, and it was not a problem to straighten it.

At this point, Daddy Yushan still doesn't understand that the jade that Miss Rou'er gave herself is not an ordinary jade at all, it is a priceless treasure at all!

How can you afford such a treasure?

The father and mother of Yushan, who came back to their senses, hurriedly went to take off the jade.

Liang Rou grabbed the hand that Yushan Father and Mother stretched out to the jade and said: "Please uncle and aunt don't take it off, if the jade can really play some role in the body of the uncle and aunt, it is also the blessing of the uncle and aunt themselves, these two pieces of jade Rou'er have already tried, not they can work on anyone, for people who do not have this blessing, they are two ordinary stones." ”

The father and mother of the mountain listened and were skeptical.

In my heart, I am more inclined to understand it this way: I guess that Miss Rou'er is afraid that our husband and wife will return the jade, so she has good intentions and says this, otherwise how can there be such a miraculous thing.

Yushan's father and mother looked at Yushan.

After all, the couple is not greedy for the benefits of the jade to themselves, but they are worried that the husband and wife will take improper measures and cause any misunderstanding between the young couple.

Yushan himself was also very surprised, he didn't expect that there were such treasures in the world, and his father and mother could get rid of the pain in an instant.

Of course, I hope that my father and mother can have it.

But this pair of jade is so valuable, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless.

How can you accept such a precious thing casually?

Just as Yushan was entangled, Liang Rou's divine consciousness sounded in his ears and heart: "Yushan, please don't misunderstand that I have been prepared for a long time, Rou'er also came here to see my uncle and aunt, and felt that my uncle and aunt were riddled with illness, so I suddenly remembered that I had such a pair of jade stones on my body that could play some role, this is all fate, don't refuse, otherwise I will be really angry." ”

"As for the origin of this pair of jade, you don't have to ask too much, and Rou'er can't remember when she picked it up in which corner, she hasn't paid much attention to it, and she can't even remember when she lost it. ”

Since Liang Rou said so, Yushan had no choice but to give up and nodded to his father.

In fact, this pair of jade was not picked up by Liang Rou unintentionally at all.

It was Liang Rou who went to the palace of the empress of the Yunmeng Mountain Range that time, and found a pile of extraordinary jade on a shelf somewhere, so he secretly took two pieces away.

As for giving it to Yushan's father, it is naturally a deliberate move.

Liang Rou has long studied the wonderful use of this jade, jade contains aura, which is very useful for cultivators, but it does not last long, sooner or later the aura will be absorbed and exhausted, and for ordinary people, even if it is worn on the body for a lifetime, and then passed on for several generations, it is still useful, and it can still rely on the aura in the jade to nourish the body and remove the pain, because this jade can replenish the aura independently, as long as the balance between absorption and replenishment is not broken, it will have no effect.

As for the ordinary appearance of the jade, Liang Rou did it in advance, so as not to be seen by people with a heart, but to bring disaster to the father and mother of the mountain.

I have to say that Liang Rou is delicate and thoughtful.

However, it can't be said that Liang Rou has any bad intentions, except for the little abacus of currying favor with Yushan, there is no more intimate good thing for Yushan's father and mother.

Yushan is both sincerely grateful and entangled.

Speaking from the heart, no matter what aspect it is, there is nothing wrong with Liang Rou, but Yushan already has a child in his heart.

After this incident, Yushan Niang said to open the bed and make the quilt, and Liang Rou immediately followed to help.

Yushan Niang was happy in her heart, smiled and Liang Rou went to the back room, the two talked and laughed all the way, and sometimes whispered.

Daddy Yushan also went outside the house to get busy.

There are Kui and Yushan left in the hall, Kui Yu is drinking hot tea and eating melon seeds, the tea is coarse tea, but his heart is warm and happy.

Seeing Kui Yan snickering, Yushan rolled his eyes.

At night, a bonfire was lit in the large courtyard outside the house, a row of torches was erected, and more than 20 tables were filled.

The table was steaming hot and full of large and small bowls.

The third uncle of the Yu family took the lead in toasting everyone, wishing everyone good health and staying away from diseases, and wishing the village a smooth wind and rain and a good harvest in the coming year.

Then there was a toast from Yushan Daddy, thanking the villagers for their help and welcoming the guests from afar.

Then there is a toast from Yushan, after the toast, Yushan gives each family a gift that he brought back from the county, which is all from the city, but everything is practical and looks liked.

Then Kui took the initiative to get up and toast.

But what Yushan didn't expect was that after the toast, Kui Yan carried a large package, walked to every table, and distributed a red paper bag to every household.

I opened the red paper bag, and there were two taels of silver in it.

Everyone hurriedly excused themselves, and the simplicity and honesty of the rural people were immediately reflected in their faces and actions.

Kui Yan arched his hand to everyone and said: "This is the county manor where Yushan is located, thank you for Yushan's hometown, thank you for the villagers of Yushan, thank you for your care and help to the Yushan family for so many years, talk about your heart, please accept it with peace of mind, Yushan's brother Kui Yan, and then I will give you a cup!"

After speaking, Kui Yan picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Good!" the village boys applauded, and one by one they raised their glasses and headed towards Kui.

Kui is serving a good amount of wine.

Yushan paid attention to him, he didn't run the Yuan Array to cheat, and those who came did not refuse, one cup after another, and he just cleared the customs, which made the young men in the village applaud and give a thumbs up and say they admire.

Although Kui Yan's distribution of silver is a bit vulgar, it has to be said that it is very practical for the villagers, especially if there are patients at home who urgently need to spend money on medicine for treatment.

As the third uncle said in his toast, the poor people in the countryside are looking forward to two things all year round, good health, no illness, and good harvest.
