The bright dawn shines through the thin morning mist in the town below the mountain.

This small town in the southwestern mountain of Yuntan Province quickly woke up from its sleep, and the chimneys of many houses rose with curling smoke, and then the rumbling sound of motorcycles and bicycles running over stone slabs resounded in the streets of the town, and the owners of several shops along the street began to remove the door panels that had turned black and brown due to age, and prepared to start the day.

On the other hand, under the eaves of many homes, colorful people, flowers, and animals are hung early in the morning, and when they are lit up at night, they will definitely attract a lot of attention.

The two dogs barked and ran through the street as fast as they could, followed by three or five little children, who chased the puppies happily until the end of the street.

It happened that a silver-gray business car was coming from the road around the town, and when he saw a dog and a child running on the fork in the road in front of him, he immediately lowered his speed and moved slowly.

Although the town is remote, the children are not completely uninformed, and they do not feel much new and curious about this brand-new looking car, so they go around the front of the car and prepare to run to the other side of the river.

"Little Tiger!"

At this moment, the car stopped, poked its head out of the slowly descending window, and beckoned to one of the children: "You go and touch the screws again, aren't you afraid that your mother will spank you?" ”

The child shuddered and quickly turned around.

But when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, he was overjoyed: "Uncle Niu." How did you get back? ”

It was none other than Zhao Xi who drove home to visit relatives in the Mid-Autumn Festival!

At noon yesterday, he took Lin Mei to drive from Huhai and return to his hometown in Shancheng through the inter-provincial highway, but because of the high-speed car traffic jam delayed a lot of time, so he rested along the way for a night and then came early in the morning, and only now can he be regarded as rushing to the mountain town.

Zhao Xi smiled: "Don't go first, I'll stop." ”

The streets in the town are narrow, and the business car barely drives in and probably can't get out, so it can only park in the field by the road. It wasn't far to walk in on your own.

After he parked the car. got out of the car with Lin Mei.

The group of children led by Xiaohuzi immediately hula-la-la, and even the two little earth dogs that had been chased everywhere just now followed curiously, wagging their tails around the crowd.

"Uncle Niu, who is this sister?"

Xiaohu looked at Lin Mei and asked in surprise: "How can you look as good as the stars on TV!" ”

Although Lin Mei is not from a wealthy family. But the education he received from an early age is good. Pretty and slim. In addition, the character is kind and very close, and there is a kind of gentleness and touching of a small jasper.

This time, I followed Zhao Xi to meet my grandparents, and she was specially dressed up. Wearing a set of exquisitely cut plain cheongsam, it really looks like a beauty coming out of a painting, no wonder the little kid is dumbfounded.

Hearing Xiaohuzi's words, Lin Mei couldn't help but laugh, squatted down to hold his hand and said, "Hello Xiaohu, my name is Lin Mei, and I am your Uncle Niu's girlfriend." ”

Xiaohu's eyes suddenly widened: "It turns out that you are my little sister-in-law!" ”

Zhao Xi stretched out his hand and patted his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, go and call your father and uncle over, I brought a lot of things and need their help to move them over." ”

Xiaohu swallowed his saliva and asked with a blank eye: "Uncle Niu, do you have any gifts from me?" ”

Zhao Xi nodded: "Yes, I bought you a remote control plane, you can really fly!" ”

"RC plane!"

Xiaohu jumped up with joy: "Where?" Where is it? I want a remote control plane that I can fly! ”

Zhao Xi slapped him again, and scolded with a smile: "What's the hurry, go and call someone, you are indispensable!" ”

"Good!"

The little guy quickly spread out and ran, running all the way down the long slope back to the town, shouting loudly as he ran: "Grandpa, grandma, Uncle Niu is back!" ”

The other children were all red-eyed when they looked at them, but Zhao Xi didn't forget them, and said with a smile: "You guys go too, come to my courtyard to get gifts later, everyone has a share!" ”

"Thank you, Uncle Niu!"

These little guys suddenly smiled and ran after Xiaohu, for fear that there would be no gifts if they fell behind.

Lin Mei held Zhao Xi's hand and said, "No wonder you want to buy so many things." ”

The two rows in the back of this seven-seater business car were all flattened by Zhao Xi, stacked with all kinds of items purchased in Shanghai - moon cakes, cigarettes, wine, food, toys, clothes, stuffed to the brim.

Zhao Xi felt that Lin Mei's little hands were trembling slightly, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, is it cold?" ”

It's still a little cold in the morning here in the mountains, and Lin Mei is relatively thinly dressed.

Lin Mei shook his head and whispered, "I'm afraid that my grandparents will not like me."

Zhao Xi shook her hand vigorously and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my grandfather and grandma will definitely like you!" ”

Lin Mei let out an "um" and gently rested his head on Zhao Xi's shoulder.

It's just that this warmth didn't last long, because Xiaohuzi quickly rushed back with five or six of his fathers and uncles.

Zhao Xi's own clan is also flourishing in the town, and there are many members of the side line, these are his relatives, although it is only a few months later, and there is also some affection and greetings when they meet again.

Zhao Xi introduced Lin Mei to them first, and then opened the back compartment and asked everyone to help move the things down and bring them back to the town together.

The compound where Zhao's grandparents lived, near the foot of the hill in the westernmost part of the town, can be seen at the end of the stone street, which is also where he grew up.

Since he has not been away for a long time, Zhao Xi does not have much of a sense of homesickness.

His grandmother was already waiting at the door, and her eyes were red when she saw him: "The big cow is back!" ”

"Grandma, I'm back!"

Zhao Xi nodded vigorously, and at the same time pulled Lin Mei, who was blushing, to his side: "Grandma, this is my girlfriend Lin Mei, you can just call her Meimei." ”

"Hello grandma!" Lin Mei greeted timidly.

"Hello, hello!"

The grandmother of the Zhao family suddenly smiled, took Lin Mei's hand, and said with a smile: "How handsome this girl is, or our big cow has vision, go, grandma will take you in!" ”

So the group poured into the compound.

At this time, Zhao Xi's grandfather was sitting on the Taishi chair in front of the hall drinking tea, and as soon as he saw Zhao Xi, he put down the teacup, frowned and scolded: "You stinky boy, why is it so late"

"Phew!"

Before he could finish speaking, the grandmother of the Zhao family scolded first: "You old thing is looking for trouble, isn't it?" Didn't you see Da Niu bring his daughter-in-law back? Who are you showing this stinky face? ”

Lin Mei suddenly stepped forward, Ying Ying fell to the ground, and kowtowed to Grandpa Zhao respectfully: "Hello grandpa, my name is Lin Mei." ”

Zhao Xi's grandfather is in his seventies this year, and he belongs to the kind of traditional old-school characters, and he attaches great importance to the etiquette between the elders and juniors, and the traditional gifts performed by Lin Mei made him feel like it in his heart, and his favorability suddenly exploded! .

"Good, good!"

He couldn't help laughing so much that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and all the resentment in his heart was gone, and he immediately got up and praised: "What a sensible child, get up quickly!" ”

Grandma Zhao hurriedly helped Lin Mei up, she took off a jade bracelet on her hand, and gave it to Lin Mei: "This is a little bit of grandparents' heart, you can't do it!" ”

"Thank you, grandparents!"

Lin Mei was very embarrassed, although she didn't know much about jewelry and jade, she also saw that this crystal clear jade bracelet was a very valuable thing.

But she couldn't forcibly refuse, so under Zhao Xi's hint, she accepted the meeting gift with a blushing face.

Seeing Lin Mei accept the jade bracelet, the grandmother of the Zhao family became more and more happy, pulled her and said, "Let's go, let's go to the back room to talk and tell me how you met Da Niu!" ”――
