Yujia Village, on the banks of the Nanchao River in northern Jiangsu, China.

When Yu Songyuan was bored in the training camp waiting for the order to return to China, the professor made a special trip from Jinling to northern Jiangsu for the New Year. When people are old, they miss the old and have a lot of things in their hearts. After the implementation of the policy, they left northern Jiangsu and returned to Jinling, no longer hearing the barking of frogs and dogs, no longer drinking the sweet water of the small river, and no longer a few families like a family, the professor always felt that something was missing in life.

Yu Yueyue is empathetic and knows her mother-in-law's mind well. On the second day of the first lunar month, she asked Shi Yuandong to send a car to send her mother-in-law back to northern Jiangsu for the New Year. And made it clear that if you want to live as long as you want, you can live as long as you want, and if you are homesick, let Zhuang Hu send a car back to Jinling.

The professor's return to Yujia Village became a major event in Yujia Village during the Chinese New Year.

Zhou Jianguo, secretary of the commune, Zhou Kun, secretary of the brigade, and the brothers Yu Xinhe and Yu Xinmin all went to the county seat to greet them. In the evening of the same day, the main leaders of the county party committee and county government personally hosted a banquet for the professor at the Zhuang Yu's Hotel. After the banquet, the professor returned to his heart like an arrow, and Zhuang Hu transferred a large van to send Teacher Chen's family, Chen Lan, Lin Xue and other little sisters to Yujia Village overnight.

The villagers all knew that Professor Lu Dao was going to return in the evening, so they all gathered in front of the professor's room to wait. As soon as she entered the village, she set off firecrackers, which was so lively that the professor was moved to tears. After seeing everyone, everyone accompanied the professor for a while before they all dispersed.

Zhou Jianguo and Zhou Kun were the last to leave, and made an appointment that the commune and the brigade would have separate banquets, and the professor happily accepted them.

The so-called poor family is worth a lot, and every grass and tree is always about love, this is the place where their family is reborn.

After everyone dispersed, the old man looked back and forth, looked at the front and back of the house, there were big fat pigs in the pigsty, hot water was boiling in the kitchen pot, the pots and pans were neatly cleaned up, the toilet was also clean, everything was exactly the same as when he left, and he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, tears flowed for a long time, and he was in a good mood.

During the time she was away, Wen Xiaolin and Zhuang Hu often came back to live. Usually, Yu Ya and Siya are at her home to show her home. She Wenfang and She Wenxiu sisters also raised a big fat pig for them. In fact, now they are all major shareholders of the company, and raising pigs is not for money as in the past.

This time the professor came back, and Wen Xiaolin and Zhuang Hu also came back with them and lived with her. Lin Xue, Chen Lan, Chen Wen, Song Quan, and Zhang Ling also came back together, and everyone wanted to accompany her old man to celebrate the New Year together.

After looking around, the professor returned to the room with the sisters She Wenfang and She Wenxiu, and the professor sighed and said, "This is my home, thank you for being so attentive!" ”

In the brazier room, the charcoal-blue flames are not dancing, but they are very warm.

Seeing that Yu Xinhe and Yu Xinmin were two brothers with their heads down, smoking cigarettes with heavy hearts. The professor looked at Zhuang Hu, Wen Xiaolin, Lin Xue and other juniors in the house, and said, "Boss Yu, Boss Yu, the sky can't fall." I've been on the bus for a day, and you can all rest assured that you can sleep well, and we'll talk about it tomorrow! ”

Lin Xue's heart was beating straight up, and no one else understood the meaning of the professor's words, only she knew it. Father-in-law, second father-in-law and second mother-in-law are very broad-minded people, and at this time, there is a lot of trouble, needless to say, it must be that Brother Yu has an accident. But she didn't dare to ask, and her mother-in-law didn't take the initiative to tell her, even if she couldn't let her know the truth, she would never ask.

The next day is the third day of the first month, and it is the day to return to my parents' home. Yu Xinhe's eldest daughter Yu Qin also came back for the New Year, and at noon that day, Yu Xinhe asked Zhuang Hu to transfer cooks, dishes and utensils from the hotel as if he were doing a happy event, opened 16 tables, feasted the whole village, and gave the professor a wind.

Originally, according to the rules of the countryside, everyone with a head and face in the village had to take turns to invite the professor to the banquet. But the professor is old, so he can stand this toss. Yu Xinhe discussed with everyone, and decided to feast the whole village by himself, with two people from each family, and everyone was lively and lively together, and when they had their hearts, it would be fine.

But this is also unbelievable, the melon seed snacks sent by each family, meat lumps, chicken, fish, meat and eggs, can not be eaten by Professor Zhengyue. Fortunately, Mr. Chen's family also came together, and they happened to digest it slowly.

After the vigorous banquet was completed, Wang Feng drove the young people to watch TV at night, and even Yu Songdong and Yu Qin were not qualified to stay. Several elderly people sat at Teacher Chen's house and closed the door tightly.

The professor was silent for a long time, looked at everyone, and finally said, "Now is not the time to be in a hurry, you have to calm down and let me finish." Let Boss Yu and Boss Yu guess that Xiao Yuan is in a big trouble this time. ”

Everyone looked at her nervously, and the professor took a sip of water and said, "Boss Yu is sick, and we are all startled. Xiao Yue specially sent her students to Jiyang, and that Xiao girl was indeed a few months pregnant. Xiao Shi did a lot of work, and through the leadership of the military region, he got in touch with their troops, and finally retained his military status. ”

"So, their troops already know about it?" Yu Xinmin asked in surprise.

"That's not an ordinary army, what can you hide from them! However, the army also cherishes talents, and is reluctant to expel them. According to the head of the troops, Xiao Yuan was injured and fell asleep, and Xiao Yatou was also a good girl with good character, she was taking care of him, but the incident happened suddenly, and she couldn't bear to refuse. Xiaoyuan himself has never known anything about it, he is about to become a father, and he is still in the dark. ”

"Bastard, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, is so unconscious that he is so inexplicable!" Teacher Chen is Yu Songyuan's master, and his face turned red when he heard this, and he muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Don't blame good people, Song Yuan is seriously injured and sleepy, if you want to blame, you can only blame Xiao girl!" It is said that master and apprentice are connected, Wang Feng is Yu Songyuan's cultural master, she and Yu Yueyue treat Yu Songyuan as if they were out, and naturally they can't listen to words that are not good for him.

She Wenfang was already sobbing in a low voice, and She Wenxiu also said with tears in her eyes, "Xiaoxue, what can I do?" Poor girl, so lovely, she wants to know how Lu Dao can stand it. How could this bear kid do that? ”

The professor sighed and said, "It's not that serious, Xiao Shi said, the army leader learned from the side that this Xiao girl is very assertive, she doesn't want to ruin the marriage between Xiaoyuan and Xiaoxue, she wants to raise this child alone!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.

"This is too bad for Miss Xiao, she and the child don't even have a name!" Teacher Chen lamented.

"Don't worry, there is a road in front of the mountain. Xiao Shi said that this Xiao girl is now a member of this unit, and the head of their unit is trying to find a way to help them remedy it. Before I came, Xiao Shi took care of me again and again, asking the elders in the family to treat it as if nothing had happened, and everything should be kept secret, and there would be a way to make up for it in the future. ”

The room was quiet for a long time before Yu Xinhe raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "After Xiaoxue is a loyal martyr, first of all, you can't treat her badly." So far, the matter is kept strictly confidential. The family is unfortunate, if the evil animals dare to start chaos and abandon it, the Yu family will not have this evil son! ”

With a "snap", She Wenfang put the teacup on the table heavily. Hearing her husband say such cruel words, she screamed in horror. "Say what? Don't say that, no matter how you say it, he is also a man from your old Yu family. ”

Yu Xinhe saw that She Wenfang was annoyed, so he stopped squeaking. He is a hero, but he never contradicts his wife, and even speaks softly. Everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, maybe it was after watching TV, the young people were very active, and there were a few young men and girls talking and laughing loudly from afar.

Yu Xinhe frowned and said, "Professor, the son of a sinister has corrupted the door style and brought a very bad head. This wind can't last, we must ring the alarm bell for them! ”

The professor nodded, "Yes." Xiaoyuan took a few children to fight abroad, and they died for life, they are real pillars of the country. They've been out for half a year, and it's time to come back. You two brothers have to master a degree, they are loyal to the country, well-informed, just point to the end, mainly to warn other girls and boys. ”

Lin Xue had been walking outside, but she didn't dare to approach Teacher Chen's house.

Teacher Chen's family is discussing something, she wants to know the Tao and is afraid of it. She felt terrified that something big was about to happen. From the moment Yu Songyuan wrote a letter asking for the word "Xiao Yuan", she faintly felt that something was going to be wrong. However, she firmly believes in her love affair with her big brother Yu. She has already figured it out, Brother Yu is a hero and a hero, and he is very popular with girls, even if there is a scandal, it is reasonable.

She loved Yu Song far more than herself, and although she was confident in herself, she had already thought about it. If one day, Brother Yu falls in love with a girl who is better than her, she will not pester him, she will choose to walk away silently.

That's what she thinks, as for what to do when she walks away? She didn't think about it, and she didn't dare to think about it.

……

In the 80s, the "year" in the countryside generally passed until the 22nd day of the first lunar month. In some places, even before the first month of the new year, it is a "year".

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Yushan District organized a grand Yushan temple fair. The gong and drum team, stilt team, lantern riddle team, Yangge team, etc. of Xifei Village made a big splash in the temple fair. This year's temple fair, Yushan District chose to be held on the road in front of Xiao Yuan, and the big stage of Huangmei Opera was set up on the open space across the road from Xiao Yuan.

The climax of the temple fair is the performance of the classic drama "The Female Horse" by the Huangmei Drama Troupe. City and district leaders and other leading figures were all invited by Liu Gu to the terrace on the fourth floor of Xiao Yuan to observe the performance. At noon, Xiao Yuan opened four tables to entertain leaders, celebrities, and organizers.

Xiao Yuan is already a large taxpayer in Yushan District, and it is also the most socially beneficial enterprise in Yushan District. The district chose the front of Xiao Yuan as the main venue of the temple fair, in fact, it also has the meaning of promoting Xiao Yuan. Liu Gu knew this, so on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, a grand banquet was held for leaders and organizers from all walks of life.

From the beginning of the first month of the first month, every day there is a folk performance team, or to the door to twist a Yangge, or to sing a piece of Huangmei opera, or to perform a stilts, dry boat, and then stretch out their hands to ask for money. Every time Yangmei performs according to her mood, she will be rewarded with five yuan or ten yuan, and if the performance level is average, one yuan or two yuan. Too bad, five cents.

The temple fair is lively for four or five days, the day is a performance, the night is a lantern festival, a lantern riddle meeting, every day and night, it is a sea of people.

On the night of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, it was just dark, and the lanterns were already lit up. There is an endless stream of people in Hufang City who come to visit the Lantern Festival, and there are people in front of Xiao Yuan. On both sides of the gate of Xiao Garden, there are two large red lanterns. The lights are twinkling and festive. Xiao Yuan in the night, like a quiet and elegant woman, is welcoming the return of the brothers' team.

At this moment, a van and a military truck slowly drove from the center of the highway. In front of Xiao Yuan, the two cars finally drove through the gap in the lanterns and stopped in front of Xiao Yuan.
