Chapter 300: Continuing the Green Cliff
During the Spring Festival, Chen Erdong took his parents to Qingya Town, and the last time he traveled with his parents was back in his high school days.
China's big holiday, 9.6 million square kilometers of land feels insufficient, everywhere is a human exhibition hall.
Chen Erdong called Wen Guiyun in advance, and Wen Guiyun said that during the Spring Festival in previous years, there would be more people in the town, but it was not too many.
Because people who travel in that direction, there are several well-known ancient towns and scenic spots along the way, which almost attract tourists, and few people go deep into the innermost Qingya Town.
Hearing that Chen Erdong was coming, Wen Guiyun was even more excited than his son at home for the New Year.
He vacated the big room he gave to Chen Erdong last time, gave it to his parents, and cleaned up a room next door for Chen Erdong.
The last time I heard Chen Erdong talk about Qingya Town, Chen Mowen longed for it very much, but after his illness, he couldn't support a self-drive of more than 300 kilometers, and his wish to go to Qingya could only be put on hold.
It is rare for a family of three to travel, Chen Mowen and Dong Yuhua did not call friends, and quietly enjoyed the warmth of the family.
Chen Erdong avoided the rush hour on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and set off early in the morning on the second day of the new year.
Chen Mowen brought a few books and a laptop, and he had long been thinking about the terrace in Chen Erdong's mouth, drinking tea, reading books, and surfing the Internet, so uncomfortable.
There are many cars during the Spring Festival, and the road is still blocked for some time, and it is close to 12 o'clock at noon when we arrive at Qingya.
Wen Guiyun prepared a meal with the proprietress early in the morning, and the first meal that Brother Chen's family came to must not be sloppy.
He was waiting at the intersection twenty minutes in advance, still holding the leaf cigarette in his mouth, looking forward to the BMW.
"Brother! Dude!" Chen Erdong rolled down the window and waved his hand at Wen Guiyun, who showed a bright smile and ran towards his parking lot.
In fact, he only had a car, and he didn't need to command at all, but Wen Guiyun still led him to the backyard like a parking lot toll collector in the city.
Wen Guiyun held Chen Erdong's hand with both hands, and Chen Erdong's idle other hand kept patting Wen Guiyun's shoulder.
Reunion again, this pair of friends in previous years can hardly hide their nostalgia.
Chen Erdong introduced his parents to Wen Guiyun, but Wen Guiyun frowned, not knowing what to call him.
He is only about ten years younger than Chen Mowen, but his name is Brother Chen Erdong, so how should he call his brother's father?
"Brother, I'd better call me uncle and aunt, otherwise I'll mess up the generations." Wen Guiyun said.
"Haha, it's out of the way, my parents are very easygoing." Chen Erdong laughed.
"Brother Wen, you don't mind if I call you that, right?" Chen Mowen asked.
"This, this is not appropriate, uncle." Wen Guiyun revealed that honest look again.
"I call you brother, you call my son brother, in fact, he alone takes advantage of the two of us, this is the New Year, it doesn't hurt to let him take advantage, haha."
Chen Mowen's humor dissolves Wen Guiyun's entanglement, which is also where Wen Guiyun is cute and simple.
This kind of trivial matter, if you change to a city person, who cares?
Wen Guiyun led the three of them into the hall, and then yelled at a young man, "Don't call anyone yet!"
"Hello uncle, aunt, brother." It was Wen Guiyun's only son, Wen Xiangyang, who spoke.
"Brother Wen, look, there's another one who takes advantage."
Chen Mowen smiled at Wen Guiyun, Wen Guiyun understood, picked his head embarrassedly, and also followed the music.
Chen Erdong took his parents to the room to put away their luggage, and Chen Mowen ran to the terrace as soon as he entered the house.
"What a great place." Pushing open the door, the green onions in his eyes were like a bath for his eyes, and the fatigue of nearly five hours of travel disappeared in an instant.
The two brought gifts to Wen Guiyun and his wife, two boxes of tea and two bottles of wine, both of which were high-quality goods, and the value of the gifts alone was enough for the family to live here for a long time.
Wen Guiyun didn't dare to accept the gift, and looked at Chen Erdong timidly, Chen Erdong made an unhappy expression and said:
"Brother, you're going to see the outside, let's talk about it,
This is what my parents gave you, you can hold it for me."
"Brother," he called out to Chen Erdong, and then turned his head to Chen Mowen's side, "Brother." As soon as these two salutations blurted out, Chen Erdong and Chen Mowen both laughed.
"People don't know, they think we're three brothers, haha!" Chen Erdong said with a smile.
"I'll tell you the truth, this gift is too expensive, and none of the richest people in our town have ever drunk such a good wine, so I really can't accept it."
A bottle of wine of several thousand yuan has caught up with Wen Guiyun's income for a few months, and he has never confiscated such a valuable gift in his life.
Chen Mowen's heart was full of emotion, he hadn't seen such a pure person for a long time, so he said softly:
"Brother Wen, we don't usually drink, it's useless to keep it, you have a relationship with my son, we are a family, a family doesn't talk to two families, isn't this wine the same for everyone."
After hearing these words, Wen Guiyun knew that he couldn't shirk it anymore, so he bowed and thanked him, nodded several times, and finally accepted the thing.
Dong Yuhua took out a red envelope from her bag and handed it to Wen Xiangyang, Wen Guiyun looked at it, and it was like blocking a bullet between her and her son.
"Eldest sister, either or not." Wen Guiyun's two hands were like wipers, waving them endlessly.
"You are old brothers and brothers, it has nothing to do with me, this Xiao Wen is a nephew, the New Year, please have an auspicious fortune, come, Xiao Wen, take it."
Dong Yuhua was more direct, Chen Erdong hugged Wen Guiyun and pulled him to the side.
Wen Xiangyang was in his early twenties, as shy as his father, Dong Yuhua saw that Wen Guiyun was pulled away by Chen Erdong, and stuffed the red bar into his hand.
In the countryside, Wen Guiyun gave birth to a son in his thirties, which can be regarded as an old child.
"Thank you, Auntie." Wen Xiangyang said gratefully.
This greeting is relatively long, and it is more like a collision of two cultures and concepts.
The proprietress has been busy in the kitchen and has only come out to greet people once in the middle of the process.
Although she was also very grateful in her heart, she was in charge of housework, and she was more excited to see that it was a gift and a red envelope.
Compared with last time, today's Qingya Town is indeed more lively, and the most intuitive feeling is that there are more cars.
Wen Guiyun said that many people who work in other places have returned home for the Chinese New Year, and there are also a small number of tourists.
Roe deer meat and water lice, these two dishes must be had, and they are also the specialties that Chen Erdong tried his best to recommend to his parents before he came.
It is the Spring Festival, and there are more farmhouse sausages made by the proprietress herself, with other dishes, and a large table is full.
Wen Guiyun asked, "Brother, some green plum wine?"
"Okay, have a drink." Chen Erdong replied briskly.
"Pour me a glass too." Chen Mowen actually opened his mouth to ask for wine.
Chen Erdong's small amount of alcohol is inherited from him, but he is better at a young age, and he can still drink a little, and Chen Mowen is particularly sensitive to alcohol, so he can't talk about the amount, and once he crosses that line, he will get drunk.
"You can't drink, don't you have a value for what you drink?" Dong Yuhua reproached.
"Oh, if you're happy today, pour me a small bite, and I'll taste it." Chen Mowen ignored Dong Yuhua's obstruction.
Dong Yuhua saw that he hadn't been so happy for a long time, his heart softened, and he said to Wen Guiyun, "Just pour a little bit."
Dong Yuhua's alcohol consumption is good, this is the fine tradition of the Dong family, but it is a pity that Chen Erdong's inheritance is deviated.
However, Chen Erdong often said that he was very glad that he did not inherit his mother, otherwise with his friend base and social habits, it is estimated that there will not be a day of soberness.
This meal, accompanied by the ancient air of Qingya, everyone ate very happily, warmly and comfortably.
Chen Mowen's unique cultural humor filled the whole table with laughter and laughter, and also released Wen Guiyun's cramped nerves.
