Ning Ye felt that Zhang Shuqiu was full of anxiety, and couldn't help but laugh happily: "Come on, if my aunt doesn't come, I have to officially come to the door to propose." Eh, it doesn't seem formal for me to come to the door by myself, should I invite Ms. Hu Xinlan to come over? ”

"What age is it, and you are still proposing, who is Ms. Hu Xinlan?" Zhang Shuqiu was full of lawsuits and asked casually.

"Xiaoqiu, you're a little too much, the name of the future mother-in-law should still be called respectfully......" The more Ning Ye teased Zhang Shuqiu, the happier he felt.

Zhang Shuqiu's mind flashed instantly, and the picture that he occasionally saw in the news, Ms. Hu Xinlan in Ning Ye's mouth was not there, smiling and beckoning. For a while, the goosebumps on Zhang Shuqiu's body rose, he curled up, felt the strangeness on the sheets, and suddenly remembered that he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes last night, but he just hastily put on a bath towel and fell asleep, and he didn't know what it looked like on the sheets......

Zhang Shuqiu broke out in an instant, pushed Ning Ye and said, "You get up quickly, hurry up and go out to get dressed, I want to get up and wash the sheets, and the second aunt may come up later......"

Ning Ye looked at Zhang Shuqiu's panicked appearance, and smiled so unhappily: "I've seen it all, what's the matter, I'll help you get dressed, which one do you want to wear, you tell me, I'll get you ......"

"You go out, please, can you go out first, I, if you don't go out again, I'm going to be angry......" Zhang Shuqiu was flustered and began to use both soft and hard.

"Okay, okay, I'll go out, but I said about getting married, you have to give me an explanation later, you can't start and give up, then I have no place to cry......" Zhang Shuqiu looked at Ning Sansui and got up again, and laughed angrily.

After a lot of chaos, Zhang Shuqiu finally washed up, and quickly snatched the already unsightly sheet from Ning Ye's hand to wash it, Ning Ye followed behind her, watching her rub the sheet off little by little, and said bitterly: "This is in ancient times, but it has to be collected......

"You're not finished, I knew you were such a scoundrel, I shouldn't have let you into my house." Zhang Shuqiu's back hurt and turned his head and glared at Ning Ye.

Ning Ye took a step forward, took her into his arms and said, "Has anyone told you that the way you lose your temper is all kinds of amorous." ”

Zhang Shuqiu was about to have a seizure, but he heard the second aunt shouting: "Xiaoqiu, I'm going to buy vegetables, breakfast is hot in the pot, remember to eat!" ”

Zhang Shuqiu hurriedly poked his head out and answered, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Ning Ye couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her as if she had done something bad and hadn't been discovered.

"So scared? How old are you? If you have escaped this first year, can you still avoid fifteen? ”

"I don't care, it's all your trouble, I'll go back to Yundong in a while, and you can do it yourself."

"That's not good, it's okay if you have to leave today, let's go to the capital, okay?" Ning Ye coaxed in a low voice.

"No, I'm going to Yundong."

"I said I was going to get married."

"Who told you that you were going to get married, you are really shameless."

"Okay, okay, then I'll call my mom and ask her to come over, okay? Otherwise, how can you explain to your aunt? ”

"You're really, you only came before yesterday, today, what are you going to say? I ......," Zhang Shuqiu said with a depressed face.

Ning Ye blinked and smiled: "Although Ms. Hu Xinlan definitely doesn't mind her son being so attractive, but considering Ms. Zhang Heng's mood, let's go to Yundong, let's go together, it's always okay, right?" ”

"You drive, I, my back hurts, it hurts so much......"

"Then let's rest for a day and go back tomorrow?"

"You ......"

When the two of them finally packed up and were ready to leave, Zhang Shuqiu inadvertently looked in the mirror, it was almost explosive, the red marks on the neck were shocking, and people couldn't look at it directly, she was so angry that she hammered Ning Ye twice more, changed into a high-necked undershirt, and then went out with confidence.

Ning Ye was cautious, watching Zhang Shuqiu's face finally return to normal, before asking, "Where are we going?" Dayun Mountain? ”

"Well, go to my grandmother's house."

"Your grandmother's house is also in Dayun Mountain?"

"Dayun Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and the place of my grandmother's house should be regarded as the hinterland of Dayun Mountain."

"And where are we staying?"

"Live in my grandmother's house, it's the ancestral house."

"Is the house still habitable?"

"Of course you can stay, you'll know when you go."

"Are there any relatives there?"

"Yes, a lot, you'll see it in a moment."

Not long after the car drove out of the city, Zhang Shuqiu was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes and fell asleep in a daze. When he was woken up, he had already passed by Yunzhou and got off the highway. Not long after entering Yundong County, there was a small village and town, Zhang Shuqiu pointed out the window to the place near the mountain and pouted: "Look at that place, there is a hot spring, if it weren't for this road being so bad, this place should have developed a long time ago." ”

"Are you tired? Why don't we take a look? ”

"Come back tomorrow, my back is so sore that I can't walk at this moment."

Ning Ye had a doting look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Then in the next few days, you will accompany me to a few more places." Why don't you tell me about it now? ”

"There are a lot of good places. There is a hot spring not far from my grandmother's house. The terrain of the place is open and flat, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful, if you build a hot spring resort next to the mountain, it will be a very good vacation resort, but the traffic is really a headache. As soon as he said this, he passed by a pothole.

"Then why can't this road be repaired properly?"

"In fact, this road is repaired every year, but it is always repaired and repaired, and it has not really been closed and repaired. I feel that first, funds are really tight; The second is that there is this road in and out of the county, and it is not easy to do so many cars coming and going every day; It's hard to say anything else, you know......"

The car entered the county, the county is not big, the main urban area is two streets on both sides of a river, it is quite like a little bit, the middle of the county is not very good, even in this kind of place with beautiful mountains and rivers, it is also a gray on a sunny day, a foot of mud on a rainy day.

Zhang Shuqiu commanded Ning Ye to drive along the east side of the river, arrived at a market town, crossed a bridge, and continued to drive along the river, the road behind was even more difficult to walk, the dilapidated cement road was connected to the dirt road, and the potholes were uneven.

Ning Ye asked, "It seems that the road across the river is a little easier, is there no bridge ahead?" ”

"Well, there's no bridge anymore, and the road on the other side was just repaired a few years ago, so it's easier to walk. In fact, this river flows out of Dayun Mountain, and you can go to our mountain from that side, and go to my grandmother's house from this side, but in fact, it still belongs to Dayun Mountain. Zhang Shuqiu nodded and replied.

Ning Ye followed Zhang Shuqiu's guidance and finally drove the car to Gulou Village, which was Zhang Shuqiu's grandmother's house.

The name of this village is very much in line with this village. Before the car entered the village, Ning Ye could see a typical oriental classical building lying in the center of the village from the bottom up.

"That house, can't it be your grandmother's house?"

"That's right, my grandmother's house, a total of six in, this village from the bottom to the top, divided into the lower bay, the middle bay, the upper bay, all according to the mountain, our house, the first into the lower bay, the sixth into the upper bay."

This house is the famous Wang family's mansion, that is, the ancestral home of Zhang Shuqiu's grandfather's family. Before the Wang family was developed, it was to live in this place and thrive, the house was built from two to six, one into the front hall, and there was a sandwich road on the left, a podium, and the Wang ancestral hall. Originally, there was a small garden on the right-hand side of each entrance, and a large garden at the back of the sixth.

Later, in special periods, the small gardens were turned into pigsty and cattle pens; It turned out that the podium where the people lived was distributed to the poor who had collapsed in their houses, and there were many people in the Wang family, whether it was a side branch or a descendant, as long as there was no house to live in, they all moved in. The branch of the Wang family, which is Zhang Shuqiu's grandfather, but the heirs withered, and only the sixth one was left to live.

Living and living, this house is expensive to build, and the maintenance cost is also high, because it is a patio-style building, and the lighting and ventilation are not very good. The families did not have a title deed, and after a long period of disrepair, no one was willing to take the initiative to pay for repairs, preferring to build a new house outside to live in.

Gradually, the house was uninhabited, and the state issued a policy that those who hold the title deed of the house can apply for the return of the ancestral property. Later, when the house came into Zhang Shuqiu's hands, it was dilapidated and decaying. The front hall has become a vegetable garden, the three entrances have fallen directly, only the high bluestone roof foundation remains, and the foundation of the roof has also become a vegetable garden, and the garden at the back of the six entrances has a small pond, which is dilapidated, and the podium and the garden on the side are even more ruined, and in the ancestral hall, the ancestral tablets have been burned.

Zhang Shuqiu took the family photo taken in front of this house by the Wang family in the past, invited designers and craftsmen who studied classical residential architecture, and entrusted the uncle of the same clan to slowly rebuild the Wang family compound.

Zhang Shuqiu asked Ning Ye to park the car at the door of the sandwich road, and the two of them got out of the car, Zhang Shuqiu introduced with a smile: "This outside turned out to be a drying field, and the part of Sangtian in front turned out to be a stage, there is a river outside Sangtian, when I was a child, I liked to catch fish and shrimp in that river with my friends in the village, it was fun." ”

Ning Ye looked around, the green mountains and green waters were really a good place to recuperate.

Almost every house next to it is a small two-story building, which sets off the historical weight of this huge complex in front of you. The white horse-head wall is beautiful and conspicuous, Zhang Shuqiu led Ning Ye into the mezzanine, at noon, the chimney of the podium next to him wafted out of the smoke, Ning Ye was surprised: "This house, besides you, is there anyone else to live in?" ”

Zhang Shuqiu nodded and smiled: "Of course, the house is unoccupied, isn't that unpopular?" They live in it, and they can also take care of this house by the way, and they were originally the descendants of the Wang family, and now there are four or five families living here. ”

After the podium was renovated, it became a kitchen and dining room, and a woman who was cooking in it heard someone talking, stretched out her head, and saw that it was Zhang Shuqiu, and was overjoyed: "It's Xiaoqiu who is back, eh, come out, Xiaoqiu is back......"

"Auntie, when I hear that you are so full of qi, I know that you must be in good health!" Zhang Shuqiu smiled brightly and greeted the woman.

This sandwich road is paved with stone strips more than one meter long, continuing from one entry to the back, each entry has a door, leading into the courtyard, obviously there are no steps, but along the trend of the house, getting higher and higher, Ning Ye is a little dizzy when he looks at it.

When all families heard the Wang family's sister-in-law's greeting, they all poured into the mezzanine.

The eldest uncle came out of the courtyard of Sanjin, and when he saw Zhang Shuqiu, a bright smile bloomed on his dark face, and he greeted Zhang Shuqiu in a dialect that Ning Ye didn't quite understand: "Xiaoqiu is back, they heard that you are coming back, and they are all cooking separately, and they will all come to Sanjin to eat and give you a pick-up." ”

"Okay, I like to eat Baijia rice the most, the elders have worked hard!" While Zhang Shuqiu was talking to her uncle, she kept waving hello to the people who came out to see her.

At this time, the uncle seemed to notice Ning Ye who was following Zhang Shuqiu, nodded and smiled at him, and asked Zhang Shuqiu in dialect: "Xiaoqiu, is this the boyfriend you are looking for?" Ning Ye understood this sentence, took a step forward, and said side by side with Zhang Shuqiu: "Hello uncle, my name is Ning Ye." ”

The eldest uncle glanced at the two of them several times, but he seemed to be very excited, the smile on his face was even brighter, and there was even a sense of water in his eyes, Chong Zhang Shuqiu nodded straight and said: "You kid, you are final, the uncle is going to see the third aunt right now, and it can be regarded as having an explanation......"

The third aunt in the uncle's mouth is Zhang Shuqiu's grandmother. The Wang family and the whole family have been taken care of by Zhang Shuqiu's grandmother a lot, especially the uncle's family, who has almost never separated from Zhang Shuqiu's grandfather.

When the elders in the meazzanine heard what their uncle said, they all looked at Ning Ye one after another, and Zhang Shuqiu had no choice but to introduce Ning Ye one by one.

The eldest uncle looked at Zhang Shuqiu to introduce Ning Ye to everyone, and said to the eldest aunt with some excitement: "I'll wait to buy some incense paper and come back, tomorrow morning, I will go to the ancestral hall to burn pillar incense......

The rule in this area of the Wang family is that burning incense for the elders must be in the morning to show respect for the ancestors.

Zhang Shuqiu finally took Ning Ye to break through the siege and entered the Wujin courtyard where she lived.

This house has been transformed by Zhang Shuqiu to be different from the original. There is a middle hall in the courtyard, a patio, and a room in the front and back, a total of four side rooms. In this way, it is almost impossible to communicate from north to south, so Zhang Shuqiu opened up the two opposite side rooms inside and made a large room with ventilation on both sides.

At the back is a mahogany shelf bed, a set of antique furniture, and in front of it is like a small study with a desk.

"These furniture were originally used by my grandmother, and then I found a very good craftsman to tinker with them, except for some places with pulp, everything else looks like new, huh?" Zhang Shuqiu opened the window of the room, and there was a lot of autumn outside, and over the wall, he could see the green mountains in the distance.

"There are two doors over there, a bathroom, and a pantry, you need to go quickly, I'm going to go down to eat in a while." Zhang Shuqiu smiled at Ning Ye.

"Wow, I don't know if I don't see this, I'm shocked when I see it, I've picked up a big landlord's wife." Ning Ye looked around through the window and quipped with a smile.

Zhang Shuqiu raised his eyes and said with a smile: "It's good to know, wait carefully, in case you make this girl in a bad mood, ask someone to throw you into the pond behind to feed the fish." ”
