On the twenty-fifth of the year, Yu Jianguo held the first year summary meeting of the Yu family restaurant, paid each employee a salary, wrapped a big red envelope, and invited them to eat a big meal that they had missed for a long time.

Zhou Xiaoyan drank too much, grabbed Yu Jianping's sleeve and refused to let go, and said reluctantly: "Uncle Jianping, don't go back, our Yujia restaurant will be open as usual during the Chinese New Year!" I would like to come to work every day, even on the first day of the new year! "In the end, it's just that I can't bear to eat the delicious pork knuckle in sauce.

made Yu Jianping cry and laugh.

"Come, let's have a drink together, I hope our Yujia restaurant will go to the next level in the coming year!" Yu Jianguo stood up and took the lead in raising his cup, and everyone shouted together: "Go to the next level!" ”

Most of these employees are young people in their twenties like Zhou Xiaoyan, but at the moment, they are all surging and high-spirited.

On the twenty-sixth of the year, Yujia Restaurant hung up a sign that it was temporarily closed, leaving only two antique red lanterns to light up, indicating that the coming year would be prosperous.

The two brothers of the Yu family packed their luggage and embarked on the journey back to Rao Township.

Along the way, Yu Jianping was very silent, and he was vaguely uneasy.

"Don't worry, the old lady won't blame you." Yu Jianguo patted his leg and told him to relax.

Yu Jianping didn't speak, but just pulled a smile that wasn't particularly good-looking, but his eyes drifted to the clouds outside the window.

Hometown timidity.

This is probably the best portrayal of him at the moment. After going to the capital from Rao Township for more than 20 years, he has gone from a young man to an old age. Hometown, is the untouchable pain that exists in memory......

After a flight of more than two hours, the plane quickly arrived at Yangcheng Airport. Unlike the freezing in the capital, there is even a dampness in the air in the winter in the south.

Yu Jianping, who has long been accustomed to the northern climate, shivered as soon as he stepped out of the airport gate.

"Jianguo, Jianping, here!" Yu's mother borrowed a neighbor's car and picked them up in Yangcheng, accompanied by the two children of the Yu family.

"Dad, Uncle Jianping." Yu Jian greeted them with a smile and took their suitcases. However, Yu Yuan probably just woke up, and he was still a little dazed, hugging his sister's thigh, hiding behind and not making a sound.

Yu Jianguo picked him up, held him in his arms and slapped his buttocks, and the little guy shouted: "Dad." He turned his head and called someone, "Uncle Jianping." ”

"Ah Jian, why are you losing weight again?" Yu Jianguo looked at his daughter's thin cheeks, and the green tendons on his arms were floating, and he was very distressed, "Are you too tired from studying?" ”

He wanted to say that if you are too tired, you can take the university entrance examination at will, and you don't have to study at Jingcheng University. But when I think of my daughter holding on for so long, she will definitely not give up halfway.

He also said: "It seems that Uncle Jianping and I have to give you a good nutrition." "I have to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to let her grow a few more pounds of meat.

Yu Jianping looked at Yu Jian's appearance and felt very uncomfortable, he didn't have any children himself, but he was sincere to Yu Jian and Yu Yuan, especially Yu Jian, if Jianguo didn't agree, he really wanted to recognize him as his goddaughter.

Who doesn't want to have a beautiful girl who shouts dad softly and glutinously!

It is nearly a two-hour drive from Yangcheng to Rao Township, and along the way, Yu Jian whispered to Yu Jianping about the changes in Rao Township over the years, from the repair of roads to the development of parks, from the rise of commercial streets to the decline of snack streets, little by little, no matter how small.

Yu Jianping listened carefully, and unconsciously fell into a trance.

The village of Western Australia has not changed much, and the whole island is still a simple and simple folk custom. In the past two years, the fishing industry has developed well, and many young people have come back to contract the sea farm, or fish or crab breeding, and the village is more popular than before.

"Jianguo is back? I heard you own a restaurant outside? Business is booming! The old man who drove the ferry drove a boat on this sea route for most of his life, and when he saw Yu Jianguo, he greeted him happily, and then saw that the people who followed behind him were familiar, and he approached and looked at it carefully, and only reacted after half a sound, "This ...... This is Jianping, right? ”

"Uncle Wang, I'm Jianping." In these words, without any accusation and suspicion, Yu Jianping's heart suddenly calmed down, he showed the first heartfelt smile since today, shook Uncle Wang's hand, and said in the local dialect of Raoxiang, "You are still the same as before, not changed at all." ”

……

"Jianping, come to the house for dinner after you are busy, let's chat! Uncle has hidden good tea leaves at home, waiting for you to come and make a pot! When several people arrived at the destination, Uncle Wang also took care of Yu Jianping, and only after seeing him agree, he restarted the ship's engine.

This comes and goes, trip after trip, Uncle Wang has been doing it for 40 years, rain or shine, all year round.

Yu Jianping admires such an old man, their insistence does not have many entanglements of interests, just to connect the village with the outside and keep the road to the outside.

"Yuanyuan, the next time I see Grandpa Wang, remember to say hello, Grandpa drives a boat here every day, it's very hard." On the one hand, Yu Jian was educating Yu Yuan, after this child became familiar in the village, he had no seniors, and he was very rude.

"Oh." Yu Yuan pursed his mouth, he can not listen to anyone's words, but his sister's words have always been a holy decree existence in him.

Grandma Yu was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard, watching the group coming from a distance, the last figure was much shorter than in her memory, and her eyes gradually turned red.

"Mom - it's so cold, why don't you wait in the house?" Yu Jianguo grabbed his old mother's hand, and sure enough, he was cold.

Grandma Yu was full of thoughts on Yu Jianping, who was behind her, how could she pay attention to him, she hastily shook off his hand, walked forward, and shouted tentatively: "Jianping? ”

"Poof", before Grandma Yu's hand stretched out to him, Yu Jianping bent his knees, fell to his knees, and kowtowed heavily, "Godmother-"

The son is not filial, but the son is back......

In front of the shrine, Yu Jianping respectfully put on the three pillars of incense, and brushed off the incense ashes on the ancestral tablet.

Grandma Yu had tears in her eyes, and muttered to herself at the old man's tablet: "Old man, Jianping is back!" Incense for you......"

"Godmother, it's all my fault, I will be filial to you in the future......" Yu Jianping was also very excited, and his eyes were red.

Yu Jianguo left the two of them to speak alone, sighed, and turned around and went into the kitchen.

Yu Jian was sorting vegetables, and when she saw him close the door, she asked, "What about Uncle Jianping?" ”

"With your grandmother! Your Uncle Jianping's heart is open......" In the end, it is also a happy thing, Yu Jianguo shook off the remaining sadness, looked at Yu Jian busy, and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

The things on the long table were moved to other places by her, and now dozens of vegetables were neatly arranged, and Yu Jian was still picking and choosing in the basket, very happy.

"Make wontons~" The little girl said crisply, looking up at her father, "Twenty-four angry." ”
