After dealing with the things that needed to be done to enter the city, Xu Haibao took the cousin he had just received and arrived at the Dongling Ferry Terminal on time in the afternoon. Seeing his father who came to pick up the boat, Xu Haixing also felt warm in his heart.

On the way home, Xu Haixing, who had already learned from Xu Qingya that his home had been renovated this year, also knew that his parents were willing to pay for the decoration, and it was more to facilitate him to come back to live. After all, I'm used to staying in the city, and it's really a little unaccustomed to going home.

Even if his parents knew that he would come back for the New Year, he wouldn't be able to stay at home for long, but they were still looking forward to his return with joy. Thinking of this, Xu Haixing also felt that he would have time in the future, and he really had to go home often to see it.

When the fishing boat docked at the wharf of the village, looking at the finally renovated wharf of the fishing boat, Xu Haibao also smiled and said: "Third uncle, the action is quite fast! I have only been in the city for two days, and this wharf is completed?"

"The New Year will be in two days, and many people haven't even prepared their New Year's goods! The village chief said that this wharf will be leveled after the New Year. Anyway, these stone walls need to be dried for a while. It's not too late to do the rest of the project after the New Year!"

Compared with this time of year, many people in the village stay at home to play cards and brag, or go to the city to go shopping and spending. This year, the village is much busier than usual, and the village committee plans to let the villagers take a break in the remaining two days.

After all, it is busy all year round, and it is rare to take a break during the Spring Festival. If you stay at the construction site every day to do projects, it is somewhat unkind. What's more, village cadres also need time to start purchasing New Year's goods!

On the way home, looking at the villagers who smiled and greeted them from time to time, Xu Haixing, who had just returned home, also felt that the village seemed to be more lively than in previous years this year. Compared with Xu Haibao, who hasn't gone home for five years, he will come back every Spring Festival.

Walking into his yard and looking at his busy mother, Xu Haixing also said longingly: "Mom, I'm back!"

"Xingwa, you're back! It's good to come back, have you eaten? Do you want me to give you a hot meal now?"

Even if I complain about my son all year round, I can't go home twice. But when her son really came back, the third aunt was still happy in her heart. As her son grows up, the third aunt also knows that only these days a year can get along with her son day and night.

At other times, my son also has to work hard for his career and work hard for his life!

Xu Haibao, who helped carry the luggage into the house, looked at the mother and son who had reunited after a long absence, and said without too much disturbance: "Third aunt, Xingwa, I put the things here." I'll go home first, remember to come to my house for dinner in the evening!"

"Baowa, let's come to my house to eat at night!"

"Third aunt, you also fight with me about this! This time in the city, I bought a lot of sparse vegetables, and I have to eat them quickly. If the third aunt wants to have a treat, there will be opportunities in the future. My parents haven't seen Xingwa for a while, so let's get together at night!"

Although some villagers in the village have also cultivated vegetable fields in the village. But it was winter, and the villagers had to go to the town to buy the sparse vegetables they ate. This also leads to the fact that sometimes, it is normal to eat seafood on the island, but sparse vegetables are a bit precious.

After handing over the remaining space to the third uncle's family, Xu Haibao also returned to his home. Looking at his mother who was cleaning the house, Xu Haibao also hurried forward and said, "Mom, I'll do this! By the way, I called the third uncle to come to the house for dinner at night!"

"Okay, you can help clean up the cobwebs! I haven't been in the village for the Spring Festival in the past two years, and there are cobwebs everywhere in the house. When I renovate next year, I will paint all these corners and look more comfortable!"

"Okay!"

New Year's 28, sloppy, similar to this kind of preparation for the Spring Festival, Xu Haibao still knows a little. When helping his mother clean the house, Xu Haibao also asked, "Where is Dad?"

"It's rare to go back to the village for the New Year, your father is busy! Today the east family drinks, tomorrow the west family drinks, and every day someone invites him to drink. I really don't know, what's so good about this wine!"

"This shows that Dad's popularity is good!"

When it comes to drinking, it seems that everyone who is a wife is disgusted. But for Xu Haibao, he didn't think it was anything. Although drinking too much wine hurt his body, Xu Haibao could clearly feel that his parents' health was significantly better after he came back.

Even the previous time, my father was a little surprised to say that his gray hair was decreasing, and some of them were even blackening again. In Xu Haibao's view, his parents' health is gradually getting better, which has a lot to do with the fact that he asks his parents to replenish the nameless pearl water from time to time.

As he learned more about the Nameless Zhushui, Xu Haibao already knew that the Nameless Zhushui was very similar to the spiritual water in the novel. Ordinary people often drink this spiritual water, which can also play a role in regulating the body and nourishing.

Just when Xu Haibao cleaned the house for his mother and sighed that his sister who came back with him didn't know how crazy she was. Looking at the two girls who stepped into the house, Xu Haibao was slightly stunned and said, "Azhu?"

"Brother Haibao, long time no see!"

Xu Qingya, who came in with the girl, said a little speechlessly: "Brother, I haven't seen you for five years, how do you know that she is Azhu?"

Hearing this, Xu Haibao said speechlessly: "Who said that if you haven't seen her for five years, you won't be able to recognize her?" Although Ah Zhu is also a female college student, she can't change that anymore, she is just more beautiful than five years ago! When did you come back?"

The girl in front of me who was pulled to her house by her sister is also from the village. is two years older than Xu Qingya and one year younger than Xu Haibao. It's just that Xu Haibao and the girl in front of him have studied together in elementary and junior high school.

"I just came back yesterday! I haven't seen you for five years, Brother Haibao is taller and stronger than before!"

"That's natural! In the army, I exercised every day and ate good food, so it became like this. By the way, you should be graduating by now, right? Your parents are back this year, too?"

"I graduated last year and have been working for more than a year. My parents, like me, only came back yesterday. I heard my grandfather say, you don't plan to go to the city next year, you plan to stay in the village for tourism?"

"Well, what's going on? Do you have any good suggestions?"

"What advice can I have! I just thought, if Brother Haibao opens a company to recruit finance, can you consider me in the future! My grandfather and grandmother are older, and I plan to spend more time with them in the village. ”

Listening to the girl's words, Xu Haibao said somewhat unexpectedly: "Aren't you going to go back to Haizhou to work?"

Faced with Xu Haibao's inquiry, the girl smiled and said, "If I can find a job in my hometown, I plan to quit my job in Haizhou." The factory where my parents work is not doing well, and they plan to quit their jobs.

If they come back, I'm sure I'm going to come back too. And my brother just talked about a girlfriend last year, who is in our city, and plans to hold a wedding wine in the spring next year. The most important thing is that my brother's girlfriend is pregnant, and my mother can't ignore it!"

"Huzi is moving fast enough, is he back?"

His girlfriend is an only child, and my parents' hearts are about to break in order to get married. It's buying him a house and a car, I really don't know what they think!"

While chatting about these words, Xu Haibao's mother also smiled and brought out some fruits and tea: "Ah Zhu, you girl has changed a lot!

"Well, thank you, auntie!"

From his mother's slightly meaningful smile, Xu Haibao was somewhat speechless. If you really want to talk about it, the girl in front of you is really a childhood sweetheart with him. It's just that the two families have rarely seen each other since junior high school.

One basically stays in Haizhou for the New Year, and the other often stays in Baohai for the New Year. Usually, I don't have a lot of communication. The first two families are in the village, and the girl often comes from home to play with her sister.

Du Yuzhu, a girl who took the college entrance examination with Xu Haibao back then, but was finally admitted to Jiangnan University of Finance and Economics. Although the posture is not too good, the figure and character are still very good in Xu Haibao's opinion.

Not long after taking her seat, Zhu Fen, who was her mother, also said in a timely manner: "Girl, your brother and Ah Zhu rarely meet, what are you doing here? Let's go, go to the kitchen to pick vegetables with me, and have a dinner at night! Ah Zhu, don't leave later!"

"Auntie, don't do it! My uncle invited him to dinner in the evening, and he said it was all right!"

"Ah, that's right, then the next time I have a chance, remember to come to my aunt's house for a meal." ”

"Okay!"

Facing her mother, who looked at the girl like a daughter-in-law, Xu Haibao was truly speechless. Fortunately, Du Yuzhu was also very cheerful and generous, even if she felt Zhu Fen's enthusiasm with ulterior motives, she didn't say much.

After all, after graduating from college, her parents also began to worry about her affairs. Although there has not yet been a situation where she has been urged to go on a blind date, Du Yuzhu also knows that when her eldest brother gets married, her parents' focus will also shift to her.

As for coming to Xu Haibao today, I haven't seen him for some years, and I want to see what Xu Haibao has become when he came back from the army. Especially when she learned that Xu Haibao planned to engage in tourism development in the village, Du Yuzhu was also full of curiosity.

But she must admit that even Xu Haibao failed to go to college. But in Du Yuzhu's opinion, Xu Haibao's character and courage still make her appreciate it very much. After all, how many young people are willing to stay in this increasingly deserted fishing village these days?
