In the piano shop, Zhang Yuntao's two brothers and sisters, Xia Yongli's two brothers and sisters, plus Wang Ruru, Zhou Dali and Xia Yongqing, were curiously looking at the musical instruments in the room, reaching out to touch them from time to time, while Gu Ruotong stood aside and explained to them.

Little Piggy sat on the chair next to Gu Xiaoying and ate happily with a fruit bowl, obviously, all the fruits he said he wanted to eat with his aunt had gone into his own little belly.

When Xia Yun pushed open the glass sliding door from the back and came in, Zhang Yuntao was holding a guitar and playing, but he understood the handsome posture of holding a guitar in film and television works, but what came out was an extremely unpleasant noise, and even the little piggy covered his ears with one hand and said that it was unpleasant.

Zhang Yuntao didn't mind everyone's boos, and said to Gu Ruotong with a smile, "Xiaotong, why don't I worship you as a teacher and learn to play the guitar with you!" ”

Gu Ruotong smiled and was about to answer, but when he saw Xia Yun who pushed the door in, his eyes rolled, and he pointed at Xia Yun and smiled at Zhang Yuntao, "Brother Zhang, if you want to learn guitar, you should find my brother, he is my mother's closed disciple, and he can play much better than me!" ”

Xia Yun glanced at Gu Ruotong and ignored her, and said to Xia Yongli and the others, "Do you have any arrangements for the next two days?" ”

Xia Yongli shrugged his shoulders, "My parents seem to be going back to the countryside with their grandparents to live for two days, and some relatives and elders are going to visit, as for us young, it should be considered a completion of the task if we are familiar with our own brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts!" ”

Xia Yun nodded, and said with a smile, "Since there is no arrangement, let's rest in Licheng for a night first, and I will take a few of you for a walk tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

His proposal was unanimously welcomed by everyone, not only Xia Yongli and the others, but also Gu Ruotong, Zhang Li and others applauded loudly, and Little Piggy jumped up excitedly, shouting that I want to go too.

As soon as Zhang Yuntao saw that Gu Ruotong also wanted to go, he volunteered to be a driver, porter and tour guide.

Later, Xia Yun simply waved his hand, and the brothers and sisters of our generation called for a two-day self-driving trip to Yuening.

was chatting happily, Xia Xiaolan came, and brought Xia Yun's mother's message, Xia Yun's grandparents, as well as his second uncle and uncle's family, were going back to the countryside, because Xu Zhiyang couldn't drive after drinking, so he asked Xia Yun and Zhang Yuntao to drive.

Xia Yun nodded, and returned to his house next door with Zhang Yuntao and Xia Xiaolan, the two large round tables in the hall had been cleaned up, and the elders were sitting on chairs chatting, and when they saw Xia Yun and them coming in, they stood up one after another, ready to go back.

Originally, Xia Yun meant that since they were going to take a pair of brothers and sisters to visit Yuening tomorrow, they would simply stay in Licheng at night and sleep, and they didn't need to go back to the countryside, but Xia Yun's second uncle Xia Hexin disagreed, thinking that Xia Yongli and his sister would rarely come back once, and they would always go back to their hometown to recognize their former residence......

So, in the end, Xia Yun drove his grandparents, uncles and aunts, and Zhang Yuntao drove Xia and his new family plus Wang Ruru to Xiajia Village, his hometown in the countryside, one after another.

Xiajia Village is located in a mountain col more than ten kilometers away from Licheng, belonging to a town called Dongxiang in the county, surrounded by mountains, and only a winding mountain road branches off a branch line to lead to the village.

There are about 100 families in the village, basically all of them are surnamed Xia, but most of them have moved out of Lu, and only some old people and children are still living in the village, and there are only twenty or thirty families like Uncle Xiao who are still in the village.

Today's Dragon Boat Festival, now it is a hot day again, the village is very quiet, occasionally a few old people sit under the big tree to enjoy the cool, see two cars one after the other drive in, are a little surprised.

"Zhihua Gong, six grandfathers, six grandmothers, and aunts!"

Xia Yun lowered the window and shouted to a few old people who were enjoying the coolness, and at the same time, the grandfather in the back also said hello to them.

"Yo, Zhilian and Hebiao are you back? Yun Wazi, how is your dad now? Hey, isn't this the second and new of the Zhilian family? Did you come back from southern Fujian this year for the Dragon Boat Festival? Good! ”

But the second uncle also opened the window to say hello to them.

Greeting all the way to the door of the yard in front of the house, Xia Yun jumped down and opened the car door, put his grandparents out of the car, and the Hyundai car behind also stopped, the second uncle's family and Zhang Yuntao got out of the car, and the three of Xia Yongli, who were a little reluctant at first, looked around curiously, looking at this somewhat dilapidated quiet village.

The ancestral house of the Xia family is a row of four two-story stone houses, one for Xia Yun's grandfather, one for each of Xia Yun's father and three brothers, a large yard is enclosed with half-human high stones and fences in front of the house, a grape trellis is set up in the front yard, a round stone table under the shelf, a few stone piers, there are several chicken coops on one side of the yard, a few old hens and chickens are pecking at the grass seeds on the ground, and on the other side of the stone wall near the door of the house, a large bluestone slab is used to lay a washing table, and there is a small pool for washing dishes next to it. There's a faucet on it.

On the right side of my grandfather's house in the easternmost part, there is a vegetable garden of more than half an acre, planted with some vegetables such as loofahs, winter melons, eggplants, cabbages, peppers, etc., and it is the harvest season, and the garden is green.

Xia Yongli and the three of them grew up in the city since they were children, when they had seen such pure rural scenery, they were dazzled for a while, and their mouths were full of praise, it was simply a paradise.

Pushing open the fence gate of the courtyard, the group walked inside, and under the grape trellis, a local dog lying under the stone table and napping had its ears erected, stood up and barked twice, but was scolded loudly by Grandpa Xia Yun, and retracted under the table.

After sitting at his grandfather's house for a while, Second Uncle Xia Yun took the family to his own house next door, after all, there has been no one living for a long time, so he has to clean up, Zhang Yuntao also went to join in the fun, and the spare quilts and sheets and other things in the uncle's house should also be taken out to dry in the sun now, otherwise there will be no need to sleep at night.

In a blink of an eye, Xia Yun was the only one left in his grandfather's house, and after chatting with the two old men for a while, Xia Yun got up and said, "Grandpa, I'll go to the second grandfather's place and send something over!" ”

Xia Yun's grandparents nodded again and again, "It should be, it should be!" ”

Coming out of his grandfather's house, Xia Yun went to the trunk of the Audi car and carried a big bag of things, which contained cigarettes, wine, meat and zongzi, all of which Xia Yun had brought before going out just now.

Carrying the bag, Xia Yun walked along the stone road in the village to the back of the village, and walked for about ten minutes before arriving at the second master's house located on the mountainside of the back mountain.

The layout of the second master's house is similar to that of Xia Yun's house, but only two houses are built against the mountain, and there is also a large courtyard in front of it.

Under the banyan tree, there is also a stone table and several stone benches.

Standing in front of the fence at the gate of the courtyard, Xia Yun sighed slightly and looked back, the whole village was in his eyes, the scattered rows of stone houses, the trees, flowers and plants covering the entire village, the creepers, a cement road that divided the village into two halves, as well as a large area of farmland on the periphery of the village and a small river like a jade belt, all gave people a sense of tranquility and leisure.

Pushing open the fence door, Xia Yun walked inside, shouting in his mouth, "Second master, second master?" ”

"Who?"

With a loud voice, from the room with an open door on the left side of the courtyard walked out a tall old man, the old man was full of silver hair, in good spirits, wearing the homespun clothes often worn by old farmers in the countryside, and carrying a dry tobacco in his hand, it was the second master in Xia Yun's mouth.

Of course, the second grandfather is also surnamed Xia, he just passed his ninetieth birthday the year before last, he is one of the oldest old people in the village, his real name is no longer testable, anyway, the people in the village have been shouting down from generation to generation, some are calling the second uncle, some are calling the second master, the second uncle, and there are those who call the second grandfather like Xia Yun, as for how to shout the next generation...... Xia Yun hasn't heard anyone shout yet!

Speaking of this second master, everyone in the nearby ten miles and eight towns can be said to know, no one knows, is quite a legendary figure, born in the Republic of China, he has participated in all the wars in the history of the founding of the Celestial Empire, has made a lot of military exploits, and the medals he has won are piled up in a small box upstairs on his floor.

After retiring from the battlefield, he returned to the village to work as a farmer.

During the Great Famine, he led the people in the village to go up the mountains and down the river, reclaim the fields, hunt and fish, and did not let a single person starve to death in the village, not to mention, but also helped many surrounding villages, countless living people, and was regarded as a Buddha by the surrounding villagers.

During the period of great turmoil, the Praetorian Guards criticized and fought several times, but they were stopped by the second master with the villagers, and later gathered a group of people into the village, and the second master was seen in the house in the middle of the mountain from afar.

The second time I brought the police to arrest the second master, I was blocked at the entrance of the village by the nearby villagers who heard the news from the surrounding ten miles and eight towns, and I was beaten out with a stick, and even almost caused a large-scale fight, and I had to give up after the worst.

It can be said that in the Yuening area, where the folk customs are generally soft, there are Xiajia Village and several surrounding villages with strong folk customs, and the second wife has made great contributions.
