Chapter Seventy-One: Reminiscing about the Eventful Past

After the SARS ended, Zhang Shaoping, Zhang Shaoan, Yuan Xiaoxia, An Yuran and their group of four took the train and prepared to return to their hometown.

Before leaving, Zhou Mengyao repeatedly dissuaded Zhang Shao'an, telling him not to leave, just stay in Guangdong and develop with her, but after Shao'an experienced SARS, he understood that the most important thing for him was not to make money, but his beloved woman Yuan Xiaoxia, and he was no longer willing to be in the same place with her.

In this way, the four of them reluctantly bid farewell to the city, because the city has brought them too many inseparable emotions and experiences from each other.

When the group of four of them just returned to their hometown, they were deeply attracted by everything in their hometown, although it is not as prosperous as the big city, and there is no freshness brought to them by the big city, but it has a different sense of intimacy, which is probably the feeling of returning home.

An Yuran and Zhang Shaoping did not rush home after getting off the train, but went to see his father-in-law An Guobang for the first time, Zhang Shaoan and Yuan Xiaoxia were embarrassed to follow them to join in the fun, plus Yuan Xiaoxia hadn't been home for a long time, and she didn't know what the situation was at home, so the four of them only went two by two.

Zhang Shao'an and Yuan Xiaoxia bought some snacks and fruits at a department store in the county, paid the money and walked towards the bus station, they bought two bus tickets to Bangbangtun, and soon got on the bus to Bangbangtun.

When Zhang Shaoan accompanied Yuan Xiaoxia to Bangbangtun in a bus, everything here was still the same as before, the barking of chickens and dogs mixed with the sound of people talking back and forth, making the whole Bangbangtun look vibrant.

When the two of them hurriedly walked to the door of the house, they saw Yuan Jie taking his younger brothers and sisters to make pig food and prepare to feed the livestock through the fence.

Yuan Xiaoxia shouted at Yuan Jie and said, "Xiaojie, sister is back." ”

After Yuan Jie heard the voice, he looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw his sister Yuan Xiaoxia at a glance, he hurriedly stood up, smiled at his sister, and said, "Sister, you're back, you're finally back." ”

Yuan Xiaoxia and Zhang Shaoan walked over, and Yuan Xiaoxia hurriedly said to Yuan Jie: "Xiaojie, after my sister left, how is the family doing?" Are grandma and dad okay? By the way, how are you doing at home with your younger siblings? ”

"Sister, it's good, it's all good, it's just ...... Just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that my younger brothers and sisters always think about you, and my grandmother often says your name."

"Sister misses you too, and I miss everyone in this family!"

Zhang Shaoan then said to Yuan Jie: "Yes! You all only want your sister, but you don't want to be Brother An, I still want to bring you some delicious food. ”

Yuan Jie blushed and smiled, touched his head, and said: "Brother Shao'an, what you said here, I think, of course I want to, but this should be my sister who misses you the most, so I didn't dare to say it, otherwise I was afraid that my sister would be jealous again." ”

"Okay, good, good, you little radish head, who did you learn all this from? Why is it so oily! ”

"Brother Shao'an, do you still need to learn this? What I'm saying is the truth, otherwise how could my sister go to Guangdong to find you regardless of the danger of her own life! Are you right? ”

Zhang Shaoan looked at Yuan Xiaoxia, smiled at Yuan Jie, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, what Xiaojie said is right, your sister and I will be blessed if you don't die." ”

"By the way, Brother Shao'an, when will you go out again when you come back this time? And when are you and my sister going to get married? Yuan Jie asked.

As soon as Yuan Jie's words fell, Yuan Xiaoxia hurriedly said: "Xiaojie, why do you have so many whys!" You better go read and do your homework! Otherwise, when the grades are not good, your teachers will have to shout at me again. ”

Zhang Shaoan looked at Yuan Xiaoxia, and said cordially in front of all her younger brothers and sisters: "Xiaoxia, Xiaojie is not wrong, I won't leave when I come back this time, why should I consider getting married." ”

"Shao'an, why are you messing around with Xiaojie! If you don't go to Guangdong, won't you regret it? That's not .........."

"Xiaoxia, after passing this SARS, I know what is most important to me, I think you are the most important person in my heart, I don't plan to go back this time, I have found a way out, I want to take good care of you for a lifetime, and I will not be separated for the rest of my life."

"Shao'an, even if you don't go back, can your father agree to the marriage of the two of us?"

"Yes, Xiaoxia, they will definitely agree, and the two of us will go to Zhangjia Village to see their second elder in a while, do you think it's okay?"

Yuan Xiaoxia nodded shyly after hearing this, and agreed with Zhang Shaoan's decision.

After hearing this, Yuan Jie's brothers and sisters who were standing on the side were all happy for their sister Yuan Xiaoxia from the bottom of their hearts.

After lunch, Zhang Shaoan and Yuan Xiaoxia held hands and strode towards Zhangjia Village with a smile on their faces.

When they came to Zhangjia Village and walked to the door of their own house, Yuan Xiaoxia hesitated, she was afraid that Shao'an's parents would reject her or not welcome her.

She began to feel a little impetuous, Zhang Shaoan knew what she was worried about, reached out and held her palm tightly, I don't know if she was too nervous or scared, her palms were full of beads of sweat, but when Shaoan looked at her with trusting eyes, the tension in her heart eased a little.

When the two of them walked into the courtyard, they saw that his grandfather Zhang Youcai was sitting on the stone steps leisurely smoking dry tobacco and basking in the sun, his mother Li Jianmei was feeding chickens in the yard alone, and his father Zhang Fugui was watching TV series in the house.

Zhang Shaoan cordially called "grandpa" to Zhang Youcai, Li Jianmei also turned her head to look when she heard this familiar voice, and Zhang Fugui, who was sitting in the room watching the TV series, also hurriedly walked out after hearing it.

Zhang Youcai said to Zhang Shaoan in an old and weak voice: "An An, An An, are you back?" Where have you been during this time? Grandpa can't even see you! ”

"Grandpa, I just came back from Guangdong! I'm sorry to keep you worried. ”

After Zhang Shao'an finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at his father Zhang Fugui who was standing outside the door and his mother Li Jianmei, who was feeding chickens in the yard, and he said in a kind voice: "Dad, Mom, Shao'an is back." ”

After Li Jianmei, a woman, saw it, she pursed the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were rolling with bitter tears, after all, she hadn't seen her son Zhang Shao'an for a long time, so as a mother, her heart was full of excitement, and her eyes were filled with tears of joy.

When Zhang Fugui saw his son Zhang Shao'an, as a father, his thoughts about Shao'an were no less than those of Li Jianmei, a woman's family, but he didn't show it, and stubbornly held all these thoughts in his heart, and just responded to Shao'an softly.

Zhang Shaoan led Yuan Xiaoxia to the house, and Li Jianmei, a woman, excitedly put down the work in her hand and hurried to the kitchen to cook, this is a great mother, when she reunites with her son after a long absence, she is not shh

When Zhang Shao'an and Yuan Xiaoxia walked into the room and sat on the sofa, Zhang Fugui also sat on the sofa, Yuan Xiaoxia originally thought that Shao'an's father Zhang Fugui would not welcome her, but now it seems that her thoughts are superfluous.

Zhang Fugui continued to watch the TV series and didn't say anything, Zhang Shaoan saw that his father Zhang Fugui didn't have anything to say to him, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Dad, I brought Xiaoxia to our house today to talk to you that Xiaoxia and I are about to get married, so I want to get your blessing." ”

Zhang Fugui didn't pay attention to him, and continued to watch the TV series, Yuan Xiaoxia, who was sitting on the side, began to be a little nervous, she was afraid that Zhang Fugui would not agree with him being together, so she began to panic in her heart.

Zhang Shao'an saw that his father Zhang Fugui didn't say anything, and continued: "Dad, I really like Xiaoxia, and Xiaoxia really likes me, so you agreed to us!" ”

The stiff expression on Zhang Fugui's face suddenly soothed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said, "You kid, what's the hurry, Dad didn't say he disagreed." ”

"Dad, then you mean to agree that I and Xiaoxia are married?"

"Agreed, why don't you agree, Dad has no reason to object to the two of you!"

Yuan Xiaoxia was very excited after hearing this, she didn't know why Shao'an's father Zhang Fugui agreed to the marriage between them, but she was happy about it, after all, a marriage without the blessing of her parents was unhappy, and at this moment Zhang Fugui agreed to the marriage between them, which means that their marriage was blessed by their parents.

Just as Zhang Shaoan and Yuan Xiaoxia were excited, Zhang Fugui said to Zhang Shaoan: "Stinky boy, why are you so excited, Dad is not an unreasonable person, Dad didn't agree to you being together because of ......, so don't mind." ”

"Dad, don't mind, don't mind."

You kid, what do you dare to mind, I'm your father, Zhang Fugui smiled and said to Yuan Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia! I didn't agree with the marriage between you before, so don't take it to heart! After all, I am Shao'an's father, and I have to think about his life hard, I hope you can understand. ”

"Uncle, I can understand, I can understand."

Okay, good, good, just understand, Zhang Fugui continued to smile and said: "Xiaoxia, in fact, part of the reason why my uncle agreed to the marriage between you is still you!" This time, you went to Guangdong to find Shao'an regardless of the danger of your own life, and I knew that you were sincere to Shao'an, and it was at that moment that you changed my opinion of you. ”

"Actually, think about it when I met Shao'an and his mother Jianmei, it was also so plain and surprising, but after living together for most of my life, I feel that I have too much to live with her, and now I think back to the things I experienced with her together, and you are almost the same now, Uncle will not object to the marriage between you now, as long as you can be together for the rest of your life, then Uncle will be happy for you in his heart."
