The cement road led directly to the door of Zhao Ming's house, and Chen Yi drove the car directly to the tower of Zhao Ming's house.

Zhao Ming's mother was cooking just now, and Zhao Ming's third sister was helping to light the fire, and when they heard the sound of the car, the two of them hurriedly greeted them.

As soon as she came out, Zhao Ming's third sister ran up and hugged Zhao Ming's neck and said, "What gift did my brother bring me?"

The mother who came out together watched the two brothers and sisters fight and didn't speak, laughing while helping to pick up the luggage, Zhao Ming's cousin Chen Yi took the luggage down in the car.

"People who are about to get married, and you are still looking for a gift from your brother, are you ugly!" Zhao Ming smiled and scolded at the third sister. (Ugly or not ugly in our place means not ashamed)

"Find your brother for a gift, it's not ugly!" said the third sister with a grin.

Zhao Ming's cousins are not much different in age, and several younger sisters have followed Zhao Ming's ass since they were children, and Zhao Ming is the only male in the family, and he is the oldest among the brothers and sisters, so the younger sisters are very sticky to Zhao Ming.

When Zhao Ming called and was about to get home, Zhao Ming's mother boiled the bath water for Zhao Ming early. As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Ming's mother hurriedly asked Zhao Ming to take a bath to relieve his fatigue.

After taking a bath, my mother had already prepared a meal and put it on the table in the dining room, and my mother and cousin and sister were roasting in the fire pit room, waiting for Zhao Ming to finish taking a bath and eating.

In Zhao Ming's hometown, every household has a dedicated fire pit house. In winter, people roast the fire below, and dense pork smoked bacon hangs on the roof.

Seeing Zhao Ming coming out of the shower, his mother hurriedly called for dinner.

The dishes on the table were very rich, and Zhao Ming drooled when he saw it.

A pot of chestnut stewed chicken, the chicken is an authentic free-range chicken raised by Uncle Zhao Ming, this kind of chicken can't grow much no matter how much it is raised, and the largest one is more than three catties after killing. This type of chicken must be free-range and raised for a year before it can be tasty. Most of the three yellow chickens raised at home, a chicken is at least five or six catties, so it is impossible to raise this kind of free-range chicken. Now this kind of chicken can't be seen on Zhao Ming's side, Zhao Ming's chicken is the egg that his mother went to the innermost aunt's house to incubate by himself. Chestnuts are also picked up by Zhao Ming's mother on the mountain, a few years ago, the chestnut trees planted by poverty alleviation are all over the mountains, but no one collects them when the harvest comes, or the price is a few cents a catty, so they are too lazy to manage, who wants to eat it will go to the mountain to pick it up.

Another pot of pig's trotters stewed potatoes, pig's trotters are smoked last year's pork trotters, the potatoes are their own, and they are kept in the cellar after being recovered, so that they can be eaten for a long time.

There is also a plate of fried cabbage sprouts, a plate of homemade sour radish and home-pickled tofu.

Zhao Ming still went home for the Chinese New Year last year, and smelled the aroma of his mother's cooking, Zhao Ming couldn't help it! Zhao Ming reached out and took a piece of sour radish from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, and the mother next to him saw it and scolded with a smile, "This child."

If you have been away from home for too long, no matter how delicious the delicacies of the mountains and seas are, you can't compare to a coarse tea and light meal made by your mother!

At this meal, Zhao Ming ate four bowls of rice, and his stomach was round, and the third sister who watched it kept laughing on the side.

After eating, several people sat together by the fire pit and chatted while roasting the fire. At the beginning, he was still talking about the marriage of the third sister, and then he talked about Zhao Ming, Zhao Ming just wanted to hide in the corner at this time, how far and as far as he could.

"My son will go to Grandma Wang with his mother tomorrow!"

Grandma Wang in Zhao Ming's mother's mouth has already introduced two families to Zhao Ming, but Zhao Ming is still the same, and after getting the WX number, he ignores others, even if someone introduces him, it will be over in the end.

At this time, Zhao Ming's cousin interjected: "Zhao Ming, that girl is good today!"

Hearing her cousin say this, Zhao Ming's mother's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked Zhao Ming's cousin what was going on.

The third sister who was watching the excitement next to her was also excited and hurriedly asked, "Brother, what kind of girl? Did you really take your sister-in-law home?"

"What's the matter! It's just a girl I met on the train, just chatting about it, and I'll send her home later!" Zhao Ming waved his hand.

"Where is the girl, how old is she, where does she live?" Zhao Ming's mother began to check the household registration.

"It's just in her twenties! Her name is Zhao Yuxin, she lives in Shanmuqiao Town, we'll just send her home!"

"You damn child, have you left someone's contact information? When the time comes, I'll find a matchmaker to help ask, see if anyone is allowed!"

"Mom, can you not worry, I'll talk to people first, and if the conversation comes, I'll talk about it!" Zhao Ming was helpless.

"Yes, third aunt, let my brother talk first, and then talk about it when you are familiar with it!" Zhao Ming's third sister hurriedly pulled Zhao Ming.

"Okay then, then you have to be active yourself, and take the initiative to talk to others!" Zhao Ming's mother gave up the idea of finding a matchmaker immediately.

Now, Zhao Ming's mother is also a lot more relaxed all of a sudden! Although she didn't bring a daughter-in-law home, at least she had a movie! Unlike before, when she introduced a girl to her son, she didn't bring her son home after she came home.

Next, a few people sat by the fire pit and chatted, and the atmosphere of small talk became much more relaxed, and Zhao Ming's mother didn't scold her son anymore.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, my cousin's mobile phone rang, and my cousin-in-law called to say that someone had called for delivery. Mom originally wanted to keep her cousin and leave tomorrow, but when she saw that her cousin was in trouble, she didn't keep it.

My cousin lives in the county seat, and all the vegetables he eats are bought. Before the cousin left, Zhao Ming and his mother hurriedly grabbed two free-range chickens, chopped a few cabbages, pinched a big bag of cabbage hearts, and packed a little pot vegetables made by themselves, and put them in the car together, asking the cousin to take them back, and the cousin did not refuse.

"Chen Yi, be careful when driving on the road!"

At my mother's instructions, my cousin's Mazda slowly walked away.

The temperature outside the house was only a few degrees, and there was still a cold wind. After the cousin left, the mother and the third sister went into the house to roast the fire, and Zhao Ming stood by the tower and looked into the distance.

"What is my son doing, it's so cold outside!" said the mother's voice from inside the house.

"Mom, I'll take a look outside first!" Zhao Ming returned.

"Brother, you have a bag in your brain! It's so cold outside, drink the northwest wind outside. Zhao Ming's third sister's voice also came from the house.

"This damn girl!" Zhao Ming scolded with a smile.

Zhao Ming's house has only been built for a few years, and it cost almost more than 500,000 yuan before and after, and Zhao Ming's father built it himself. The house is a rural villa style, the house covers an area of more than 300 square meters, the fake two floors are repaired, the upper layer is only two meters high, it is a layer of thermal insulation, and you can put some sundries by the way. There is a corridor around the edge of the roof, and the edge of the corridor is all equipped with stainless steel handrails, and the roof is covered with red glazed tiles.

Outside the house is a tower, the tower is filled, there is an area of almost half an acre, the edge of the tower is also installed with stainless steel handrails, the edge of the tower is almost three and a half meters high, the wall is all Zhao Ming's father with stones to build up, the two corners of the tower carry two very large and beautiful osmanthus trees.

It is inconvenient to raise chickens and pigs at home, and there is no place to raise the newly built house, Zhao Ming's father built a two-story small building in the corner of the tower next to it, with a total of four rooms on the upper and lower floors. After that, Zhao Ming's mother followed his father to help in the city, and the family did not raise New Year's pigs, only raised fifty or sixty free-range chickens, and his uncle always came to put the cage and feed it every morning.

Below Zhao Ming's house is a long terraced rice field that stretches to the bottom of the river, which is about 100 meters high.

Opposite Zhao Ming's house are two huge ancient pine trees, now no one knows how long these two ancient pines have grown, the diameter of the two pine trees is almost two meters, one of them has withered, but no one in the village dares to move and no one moves, these two ancient pines are almost the faith of the village.
