"It should be fine, I'm going to try." Mao Liang smiled reluctantly.

"Okay, that's fine, with your skills, you can try it in Taicheng." I smiled.

"What about you, how many days do you plan to stay in your hometown this time?" Mao Liang looked at me and said.

"I'll stay for at least four or five days, after all, it's rare for me to come back once." I said.

"If you can afford me, come to my house on the fourth day of junior high school, you come early on the fourth day of junior high school, have a meal together, and bring your wife with you, you haven't come to my house for a long time." Mao Liang said.

"What do you mean by looking up to your words, Mao Liang, what you said, we used to be the most iron-clad when we were studying, and I don't have any friends in Taicheng, since you call me, I will definitely come." I laughed.

"Really?" Mao Liang was surprised.

"Of course it's true, I'll come to your house when the time comes, and I still remember the location of your house." I said.

"Okay, let's sit down and have some drinks and talk more, my parents and my son are here, as for my sister and brother-in-law, who knows if they will come, anyway, there are usually no guests in my house." Mao Liang said with a smile.

"Hmm." I nodded in agreement.

In the follow-up time, I chatted with Mao Liang again, as for the dinner is an early banquet, it starts at half past four in the afternoon, these relatives and friends in my hometown, my parents and villagers get together to eat, and the whole banquet hall can be said to be happy.

A lot of photos were taken on the spot, Chu Yin and I had a lot of group photos, and Mao Liang also came to take photos with us.

Towards 6:30 to 7 p.m., my family dropped off the guests on the bus, and I settled the bill with the hotel's wedding company and returned home.

Today was a busy day, but it was very fulfilling, my parents were very happy, and we received a lot of blessings.

After taking a shower at night, I told Chu Yin about being a guest at Mao Liang's house on the fourth day of junior high school, and told her some things about Mao Liang, including some things at home.

"Husband, Mao Liang returned to his hometown from Kyoto, he should have planned to open a small shop in Taicheng to repair refrigerators and air conditioners, but now they basically call online and come to the door for maintenance, unlike the TV refrigerator that moved out and pulled it to the repair shop, I am not optimistic." Chu Yin said.

"Not optimistic?" I asked.

"Yes, the major brands, as long as it is a home appliance, have after-sales, even if it is beyond the warranty period, you can also find their after-sales service, they will arrange someone to repair it, as long as you pay the door-to-door fee and maintenance fee, it is very convenient now, this era is different." Chu Yin continued.

"However, this is Mao Liang's own wish, he wants to return to his roots, he wants to try, if the business is good, then in addition to business, he can also take care of the family, the child is now in the fourth grade, you can accompany the child, in case the child's grades get better, it is also a hope, after all, no matter what, it is always a good thing for a father to be able to accompany his child." I said.

"Then let him try, it was my personal idea just now." Chu Yin said.

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and tomorrow is the third day of the Lunar New Year, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, our family invited my uncle and uncle's family to come to the house as guests, the three families chatted very happily together, after all, it is rare to get together all year round, and Xiao Gang's reading results are also very good, the first place in the class, we give Xiao Gang New Year's money, let him continue to work hard.

Early in the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Chu Yin and I had breakfast and put the prepared tobacco and alcohol nutrition into the trunk of the car.

I went to Mao Liang's house as a guest today, no matter how I said it, I couldn't be empty-handed, in fact, Mao Liang gave us a red envelope on the day I got married in my second year of junior high school, which made me quite moved.

I never thought that he actually wrapped a thousand eight red envelopes, which is for our hometown, friends who come to eat alone, there are already a lot of bags, mainly I know Mao Liang's situation, I just think that he can come, how can I think of his red envelopes.

"Mom, Yin Yin and I went to a friend's house." I laughed.

"Go to Mao Liang's house, Mao Liang's child is very good, the day you got married, his mouth was very sweet, and he recognized me at a glance." My mom laughed.

"yes, I haven't seen each other for many years, and now we can get in touch again, so let's go." I said.

Mao Liang my parents know, when I used to be in junior high school, during the summer vacation, he came to my house to play, at that time was still young, in the first and second years of junior high school, we all like to go to the back mountain to swim, of course, at that time we had no transportation, go out to play in the countryside, are walking on both legs, in fact, my home to Mao Liang's house, it takes more than an hour to walk, but because I like to play together, so these distances are nothing, in addition, we also go into the water together to catch fish, poke birds' nests, steal watermelons to eat, anyway, naughty things when I was a child will do.

It's just that later, we have less contact, mainly because of the different paths we take, and the cities where we go out to work are also different, plus Mao Liang may think that I am a college student, or he is divorced, so he feels that he and I are not in the same circle, so I gradually broke off contact.

But these, in fact, are not a problem, in my opinion, as long as the brothers are happy together, then how can there be a difference between poor brothers and rich brothers, everyone is not the same is born hard, all of them go out of this rural area? Even if you look like a dog outside, you still have to go back to your hometown, after all, our roots are here, and this can never be changed.

Starting the car, Chu Yin and I drove towards the location of Mao Liang's house.

On this road, there are rural mountain roads, the road surface is uneven, potholes, even if some cement roads have been repaired, it is not too easy to walk, but fortunately there is no rain, so even if it is difficult to drive, it is not bad for this time.

"Husband, your rural roads really have to be repaired, and you have to drive a lot of pits slowly, otherwise, the chassis of a car like this can touch the ground." Chu Yin sat in the co-pilot, she looked at the road ahead, and said.

"Yes, the road needs to be repaired, but the road from my family to the county seat is fine, mainly because the more you go inside, the worse the road becomes." I nodded.

"It's still a local difference, there are also rural areas in Kyoto, we go to farmhouses, we go to Qingqing, there are cement roads and asphalt roads." Chu Yin continued.

"Kyoto is a big city, in fact, not only Kyoto, but also the magic capital also has rural areas, the rural roads are particularly well repaired, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are not bad, such as He Jun's hometown, there are also cement roads, it is our here, how to say it, it is indeed a small place, the development will be worse than the coastal area and big cities, where new rural areas are developed." I said.

"Well, then when you go back to your hometown in the future, it's best to drive an SUV, the SUV chassis is high, and this kind of road is much easier to drive." Chu Yin nodded.

"I have considered it, wait for a few days for my car to be consigned to Taicheng, and ask someone to drive to the parking space of the new house, so that we can come back when the time comes, and take a taxi directly to the new house at the airport, and we can use it." I said.

Chatting with Chu Yin all the way, it didn't take long for us to come to a mountain village near the foot of the mountain, where many houses are two-story small buildings, some houses have three or four floors, of course, there are also bungalows, and the surrounding fields have terraced fields, and there are also some river ponds.

From afar, I saw Mao Liang's house.

In my memory, Mao Liang's house was a two-story small building, and the exterior walls were not painted with red bricks, but after more than ten years, the house has improved a lot, and it has been raised one floor.

"Wife, that's Mao Liang's house, there is a mountain not far behind their house, and then there are several families here, and there is a large piece of land in front of the door." As I drove, I pointed to the road ahead.

"Is there a Volkswagen in the yard?" Chu Yin asked.

"Yes, there are two big yellow dogs." I said with a smile.

Soon, our car drove into the yard, and at this time, I met Mao Liang.

Mao Liang was wearing an old leather jacket and an apron, with a happy face.

Chu Yin and I hurriedly got out of the car and greeted Mao Liang.

"What are you up to?" I laughed.

"Hello Mao Liang." Chu Yin also said.

"I'm killing chickens, I've just done it, come in and sit, come in and sit." Mao nodded, then smiled.

"Wait a minute." As I spoke, I hurriedly opened the trunk and took out the cigarettes, alcohol, and health products.

"I said you, what did you bring with you?" Mao Liang was a little embarrassed.

"Didn't they all bring it to you, what about your uncle and aunt?" I walked in front of the living room of the house with my gift in hand.

"Dad, Mom, Lin Nan is here!" Mao Liang said hurriedly.

As soon as I walked into the living room, I met Mao Liang's parents.

I haven't seen him for so many years, Mao Liang's parents are a lot older, they already have gray hair, they are actually in their fifties, but they look much older than my parents, especially Mao Liang's father, his back is hunched, and the clothes of the second elder are relatively simple.

"Oops, Lin Nan, Xiao Nan!" Mao Liang's father smiled.

"Come on, come on, come in and sit Xiao Nan!" Mao Liang also said politely.
