Because he was afraid that he would oversleep and make a mistake, Xia Yun deliberately set the alarm clock on his mobile phone to eight o'clock before going to bed, but unfortunately, the alarm clock still didn't work.

It was only less than seven o'clock in the morning, Gu Ruotong and Little Piggy had already sneaked into Xia Yun's room, climbed onto Xia Yun's bed, one holding a dog's tail grass, scratching Xia Yun's nose left and right, making him turn over several times in a row and not be safe, and finally woke up in a sneeze.

"Gu Ruotong ......! Xu Zhu Zhu ......! After waking up, looking at the time displayed on the mobile phone and the two quirky grimaces in front of him, Xia Yun couldn't help but roar.

"Wow, your uncle is crazy, piggy, let's run for our lives!"

Gu Ruotong screamed, jumped off Xia Yun's bed with the little piggy, and fled out, leaving only a series of crisp laughter and the sound of tapping and tapping down the stairs.

Being tossed by Gu Ruotong and Little Piggy like this, Xia Yun was not sleepy at all, sighed helplessly, and got up and dressed resignedly.

After having breakfast at Aunt Gu's, let Little Piggy stay in the piano shop with Gu Xiaoying, while Xia Yun and Gu Ruotong returned to the house next door and began to tidy up the small restaurant in front of the first floor.

Opening the door that had not been opened for a long time to ventilate, the tables and chairs in the restaurant were moved to the open space at the back, and the two of them laboriously moved two large log tables from the utility room on the second floor and put them in the center of the hall.

Originally, the hall where the small restaurant gave guests a meal, after clearing the scene, just enough to put down two large round tables, in previous years, during the Dragon Boat Festival, when it was Xia Yun's turn to eat, it was also placed like this, but at that time, Xia Yun's father and mother made it, Xia Yun did not come back in Wucheng a few years ago, and when it was his turn to toss today, he found that these jobs were really tiring.

found a clean rag to wipe the table, and then laid a disposable tablecloth and tied it, Xia Yun and Gu Ruotong sat on the chairs, both panting and sweating.

Laughing at each other and contemptuous for two sentences, Xia Yun wiped his sweat, and was about to go back to the kitchen to get busy, a somewhat dilapidated Jinbei car stopped at the door, the door opened, and a few people came down from inside, the first person looked to be in his fifties, dark skin, slightly gray hair on his temples, wrinkles on his face like a knife, and he was dressed like an old peasant in the countryside, it was Xia Yun's uncle Xia Hebiao.

Xia Yun hurriedly put down the rag and greeted Gu Ruotong with him, and said with a smile, "Uncle, here!" ”

At the same time, he said hello to the aunt, cousin Xia Yongqing, and cousin Xia Xiaolan who got off the car behind the uncle.

Uncle nodded, hum, after getting out of the car, he stood aside and waited for everyone to come down, and the aunt smiled and said a few words to Xia Yun, "Your uncle and I are afraid that you will not be busy alone, so come over early to help!" ”

Aunt Xiao is a typical rural woman, the most enthusiastic among several aunts and aunts, every time Xia Yun's family goes back to their hometown, they always pull them to smile and ask about the length of the family, and take out the best things in the family to entertain them.

In Xia Yun's impression, most of the melons, fruits, snacks and candies he ate when he was a child seemed to be stuffed to him by his aunt.

"Uncle, aunt, Yongqing, Xiaolan!" Gu Ruotong stood behind Xia Yun and greeted them with a smile.

"Yo, it's Xiaotong, this girl is getting more and more handsome, when are you coming back, is the school holiday?"

The little aunt was also a little surprised and surprised when she saw Gu Ruotong, having said that, except for Xia Yun's second uncle and sister-in-law, everyone else in Xia Yun's family was very familiar with this little girl who had followed Xia Yun's ass since she was a child, and she also knew that the relationship between her family and Xia Yun's family did not treat her as an outsider.

"I came back the day before yesterday, and the school holiday is relatively early this year!"

Gu Ruotong replied obediently, and was about to continue talking, when two silver-haired, but energetic old men came out of the Jinbei car, who were Xia Yun's grandparents.

"Grandpa! Grandmother! ”

After another round of greetings, everyone hugged Xia Yun's grandparents and walked inside.

Grandpa Xia Yun is seventy-two years old this year, but he seems to be more energetic than Xia Hebiao, who is forty-four years old this year, with a loud voice and a hearty laugh, while walking, he looked around, and smiled at his wife next to him, "The boss is very good here, but it is far away from our countryside, every time he comes, he almost tosses our old bones and scatters ......!" ”

Grandma Xia smiled kindly and didn't speak.

Grandpa Xia Yun didn't care, turned his head and asked Xia Yun again, "Yun Wazi, when will your father and your mother come back?" ”

"It's about ten o'clock or eleven o'clock, and I'll come back with my second uncle and his family!"

Xia Yun led his grandparents to sit on the two rattan chairs in the hall, and said with a smile in his mouth, "Grandparents, you sit down first, and I'll cook some brown sugar eggs for you to fill your stomach first!" ”

Grandpa Xia waved his hand, "You don't care about yourself, we only came here in the morning, don't eat, don't eat!" ”

"Okay, grandparents, you sit down and rest for a while, I'll go to the kitchen!"

Xia Yun thought about it, so he no longer insisted, nodded, and was about to go to the kitchen, but saw the uncle who had just stood next to the Jinbei car and didn't come in with everyone, holding two plucked and pickled ducks and two bottles of bayberry wine, slowly paced in, and a young man in his twenties and thirties behind him, after closing the back door of the Jinbei car, also carried a large white plastic bag full of zongzi, and walked in behind the uncle.

The man was wearing an almost bald head with a pair of sandals under his feet, big yellow pants, a big white vest, and bare arms, revealing a strong and well-developed muscle.

Xia Yun was slightly stunned, and hurriedly greeted him again, stretched out his hand to take the light duck in Xia Hebiao's hand, and at the same time looked at the somewhat kind-faced young man and hesitated for a moment, before he said with some uncertainty, "Brother Fang? ”

The man put the big plastic bag containing the zongzi in his hand on the ground, reached out and patted Xia Yun's shoulder heavily, grinning, "You kid, after so many years, you don't even know your own brother?" ”

"It's really you, Brother Fang, you've been a soldier for a few years, and you're getting stronger and stronger. Hehe, I really didn't recognize it for a while, when did you come back? Come on, come on, come in and sit, and eat at my place at noon, right? Xia Yun said again and again with some surprise.

Xia Yongfang, is the only son of Xia Yuntang Boxia Heyuan, two years older than Xia Yun, it can be said that he grew up wearing a pair of pants, in the past, when Xia Yun returned to the countryside every year during the winter and summer vacations, he always went up the mountain to dig out the bird's nest, went down to the river to catch fish and shrimp, and learned boxing and martial arts with the second master in the village, and was recognized as the two child kings in the village.

It's just that Xia Yongfang didn't get admitted to college after finishing high school, so he turned to the army, and the contact between the two gradually decreased, and in recent years, there has been no news, but I didn't expect to meet it suddenly today.

"No, I still have to go buy something, I'm still waiting for me to go back, next time I'll come to you, let's have a few drinks!"

Xia Yongfang shook his head, pointed to the golden cup outside the door and said with a smile.

"Oh, that's right, how much is your phone number, Brother Fang? I'll call you when I get back! ”

Xia Yun nodded, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, basically every family will prepare their own table of dishes, and the family will have a meal together, it is indeed not a good day for brothers to drink.

Xia Yongfang reported his phone number to Xia Yun, and when he saw that he had memorized it, he shouted to Grandpa Xia Yun in the hall, "Third uncle, then I'll go back first!" ”

Grandpa Xia Yun's real name is Xia Zhilian, and there are six brothers and sisters in his generation, and he is the third in line, so young people in the village who are not directly related to Xia Yongfang's generation call him the third uncle or Zhilian Gong.

"Oh, Fang Wazi, I've worked hard for you in the morning, be careful when driving on the road!"

Grandpa Xia Yun nodded, sat on the rattan chair and said to Xia Yongfang from afar.

"Wait a minute, Brother Fang!"

After Xia Yun saw Xia Yongfang's answer, he was about to leave, so he hurriedly stopped him, turned around and took out a piece of Chinese cigarette he just bought yesterday from the kitchen cabinet, dismantled it and put it on the round table in the hall, took out a pack and returned to the door, threw it to Xia Yongfang, and said with a smile, "It's really hard for you in the morning, send a large group of people like my grandfather and uncle here." ”

"I'm also going to come to Licheng to buy something, just by the way, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you kid is polite to me!"

Xia Yongfang's eyes lit up slightly, and he was not polite to Xia Yun, he took Zhonghua and opened it, knocked it a few times in his palm, took out two sticks, and handed them to Xia Yun.

"I haven't smoked anymore!"

Xia Yun smiled, shook his head and said, but as soon as these words came out, both of them were slightly stunned at the same time.

Xia Yongfang remembered that when he was still in high school, Xia Yun came to play with him during the summer vacation, and the two often hid in the mountains and smoked a pack of Yipinmei for a few yuan, but they didn't expect that now Xia Yun would quit smoking.

Xia Yun remembered Xie Wan's words before parting, and then he realized that he seemed to have never smoked or drunk since he returned to Licheng, and he couldn't help but lose his mind.

"After returning to Yuening, don't always smoke and drink, and don't stay up late, which is not good for your health...... Find a girl to marry as soon as possible, you are twenty-eight years old, and you are about to become a middle-aged uncle! ”

The words are still in my ears, but they are just ...... Xie Wan, how are you doing now? Are you doing well?

"You're getting more serious now!" Xia Yongfang smiled and said, he didn't force it, he casually put the extra cigarette behind his ear, stuffed the whole package into the pocket of his big pants, and then took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the cigarette, swallowing the clouds and spitting out the smoke.

"Old man, my body that always smokes and drinks can't bear it!"

Xia Yun also smiled, and chatted with Xia Yongfang for a few more words, and the feeling of strangeness that he hadn't seen for a few years disappeared immediately, and he drove the golden cup away, and then went back to the kitchen with the light duck in his hand and the zongzi on the ground.
