The black brick low wall, the wooden door and copper lock, a very old plane tree hanging with snow stretching its branches freely in the clear blue sky, touching the faint green clouds in the extreme height and distance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The snow on the path in front of the door has already been swept away, and the noon sun shines down, turning some residual snow and ice slag, and the pavement covered with sand and gravel looks slightly wet.

The wooden door was open, and the pickup truck had just stopped when laughter and footsteps could be heard inside.

"It must be the second child who is back... Hang'er, here!"

Da Bolong walked in the forefront, followed by the third uncle, the fourth uncle and Zhou Hang's brothers and sisters.

"Hey, bought a car?" Uncle and everyone circled around the pickup truck and said with a smile.

It's just a pickup truck, and everyone may not be so surprised, in recent years, life has been getting better and better, and there are really a lot of people who buy cars. Not to mention, the uncle's family has a Volkswagen car worth more than 100,000 yuan, and the fourth uncle, who is working outside, also drove back a Buick Regal this year.

The uncle looked at the pickup truck, focused on the boxes of fireworks pulled behind, and asked, "Why didn't the second child come back?" ”

Zhou's mother gave Zhou Hang a look, and Zhou Hang hurriedly stepped forward to hand cigarettes to his uncle one by one.

The eldest uncle and the fourth uncle both smoked, and the third uncle was not in good health, so he quit this year and waved his hand and did not answer.

Zhou Hang took out the windproof lighter that had been prepared long ago and lit it for the uncle and the fourth uncle. The uncle and the fourth uncle nodded secretly, and said in their hearts, Hang'er, this kid is becoming more and more sensible, no wonder he can be admitted to university.

While smoking a cigarette, the uncle chatted with Zhou's mother about family life, and asked the junior to move the things in the car.

Suddenly, the fourth uncle sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" The uncle turned his head strangely to look at the fourth uncle, only to see the fourth uncle staring at the half-smoked cigarette in a daze, and the uncle was inexplicable.

"Greater China?!" The fourth uncle's voice was slightly surprised.

"What?!" The uncle was slightly stunned, and also observed the cigarette in his hand, and it was indeed Great China. This kind of cigarette is a box of 100, a 1,000, although the living conditions at home are better now, but who has nothing to buy such expensive cigarettes.

Uncle has lived for such a long time, and he only occasionally has the opportunity to draw Great China a few times, and it was handed to him by others. Unexpectedly, the cigarette that Fang Caihang'er's little brother handed to him turned out to be Great China!

Originally, seeing that the cigarette in Zhou Hang's hand was a soft box cigarette, the uncle and the fourth uncle didn't care much about it, whether it was a good cigarette or an ordinary cigarette, as long as it was handed over by someone from his own family, there was nothing he couldn't smoke.

However, the fourth uncle took two puffs, and suddenly felt that this taste was quite familiar, like the Great China he smoked when he served in the army, the feeling was smooth, there was basically no irritation to the throat, it was very refreshing, and the taste was not comparable to ten or eight cigarettes.

The uncle took two puffs hard, and the more he smoked, the more comfortable he felt, as if he had smoked a good cigarette, and the whole person was much taller. Looking at Zhou Hang's expression, he became more and more cheerful, he flicked the cigarette ash, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Going back to your hometown is going back to your own home, what is polite to your family, just buy some gifts, how can you buy such expensive cigarettes." It's not easy for you to live in the city, you have to pay off the mortgage, you have to pay for your brothers and sisters to go to school, you need money everywhere, you have forgotten the hardships of your mother when she was laid off two years ago..."

The uncle and Zhou Hang walked to the courtyard of their grandparents, chattering, Zhou Hang smiled slightly, and nodded again and again.

The younger siblings behind him excitedly moved the things off the pickup truck and hugged them into the house.

Uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle casually looked at the things in the arms of the children, their eyes couldn't help but freeze, I thought that most of the cars were fireworks, they didn't particularly care, after all, the countryside is not like the city, for the tradition of firecrackers is still more important, the second family comes back every year for the New Year, will bring some back, but this year with a little more, I'm afraid it is not less than a thousand yuan.

However, at this moment, the uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle clearly saw several dolls in the family holding cigarettes in their arms!

Zhonghua, Hibiscus King, Nanjing, Jiaozi... It seems that all of them are expensive products of cigarettes, and they are all around 1,000 yuan!

The three of them looked at each other, their eyes could not hide their horror, and a thought flashed in their hearts at the same time: The second family seems to be developed this year!

Zhou Zhuoli laboriously moved a large box from the car, on which was also pasted with a courier bill and sealed with tape. She sliced open the box with nail clippers and shouted to her younger siblings, "Come on, come on, there's something good to eat!" ”

The little guy from the third uncle and the fourth uncle ran over in a swarm, lying on the half-human-high box and looking inside: Wow, it's all snacks!

This is what Lele sent to Zhou Hang before he went home, there are all kinds of snacks, and they are worth more than 1,000 yuan.

The little ones jumped up happily and circled around Zhou Zhuoli, not happy.

The courtyard was bustling with activity, and the silver-haired grandmother came out of the low house, holding a wooden stick in her hand, and her waist was almost bent at ninety degrees.

The grandparents who have experienced various events such as the anti-Japanese resistance, the founding of the country, and the great famine are already dying of old age at this time, and the difficult years of fucking have bent her backbone little by little.

The only thing that makes Zhou Hang feel relieved is that his grandparents are in good health, even the elderly who live in the city with better medical conditions may not be as healthy as their grandparents.

Zhou Hang strode up, helped his grandmother, and talked to her.

Grandpa stood at the door with a big belly, and greeted everyone with his old hand: "Don't stand outside, come in and sit." ”

Zhou Hang answered and helped his grandmother into the house.

The grandparents' house is an old house, and it is not very generous, and it will be a little crowded when everyone comes in, so the third uncle will blast the children out, so several children will gather next to Zhou Zhuoli, lying on the snack box, waiting for her to share the snacks.

Grandpa trembled and made tea for everyone, Zhou Hang said no, the old man didn't hear it.

Zhou's mother stood in the courtyard and chatted with the female dependents, she came back this year and was very different from previous years, the difference was radiated from the inside out, everyone only thought she was a city person, but now she feels that her temperament makes it easy to create a sense of hierarchy in her heart.

Zhou Hang was talking with the old man and the elders in the slightly gloomy little house, knocking melon seeds.

"Just throw the melon seed skin on the ground, just throw it on the ground." Grandpa's ears are behind his ears, he can't hear what everyone says, he only cares about his grandson's every move.

At this moment, the uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle were staring at Zhou Hang with a surprised expression, and the grandmother who was leaning on the kang to keep warm seemed to be frozen, looking at Zhou Hang in a daze.

"What? What's that?! Your dad is an official?! Uncle grabbed Zhou Hang's arm incoherently excitedly, his slightly gray hair exuded a not very bright luster, and his eyes suddenly burst into bright light!

Grandpa didn't know why, he could only listen to half of the obedient words, his beard shook, and he shouted angrily: "What's the matter, I said that the melon seed skin should be thrown on the ground, why are you holding my grandson?!" ”

The eldest brother of the uncle's family walked in with a couplet and said, "Hang'er is back!" Dad, you want this couplet, right? ”

The eldest brother let go of the couplet in an uproar, Zhou Hang looked at it, and read it softly: "Happy to live in a treasure land for a thousand years, and everything is prosperous in the family!" ”

The eldest brother laughed and said: "There is also a horizontal batch to welcome the New Year!" Hey, Dad, third uncle, fourth uncle, what's wrong with you, are you all stunned? ”

PS: The second shift, there is no more at night, and I work the night shift. Well, that's it, good night and good dreams everyone!
