The tricycle sent Lu Dong and Liuqin to Liuzhuang and stopped directly at the door of Liuqin's house. When paying, Liu Jinqiang and his family heard movement in the courtyard. The two felt a bit like the voice of a girl, and hurriedly ran out to see, and when they saw that it was really Liu Qin holding the child, Lu Dong carried two packages in both hands, sent away the cyclist, and was about to enter the hospital.

When the two saw each other, they were overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward. Wang Yulan went to pick up Peng Peng in Liu Qin's arms, and Liu Jinqiang went to help pick up the package in Lu Dong's hand. Lu Dong looked busy and said, "Dad, you don't have to worry about it, I'll do it myself." After speaking, he turned his head to Liu Qin and said, "Don't let our mother hug you, it's all too big, let him run on the ground!" ”

Peng Peng was struggling to let Wang Yulan hug him, and when Liu Qin heard this, as soon as his arm was loosened, Peng Peng slipped down. Wang Yulan was afraid that he would fall, so she hurriedly went over to help. Liu Qin said: "Mom, don't worry about him, his body is fat, let me hold him in the car all the way, and my legs are numb." Liu Qin said, stomping her feet and moving her lower limbs again.

Seeing that his daughter was so tired, Liu Jinqiang smiled and said, "Are you tired?" Then why don't you send a telegram in advance to pick you up, it seems that you are not afraid of being tired. As he spoke, he squatted down, put his hands on his mouth and took a hot breath, then went over and held Peng Peng's two cold little hands, smiled kindly, and then said with concern: "Look at my little hands are frozen, like a popsicle, what are you still standing here, go, hurry up and go home." With that, he hugged Peng Peng. It's strange to say, this time Peng Peng obediently didn't struggle anymore, and obediently let him carry him into the courtyard.

Everyone followed back to the courtyard. Lu Dong put the bag in the house and came back, and Wang Yulan began to ask for her daughter's opinion: "What should you eat?" Why don't you make some poached eggs? ”

"What are you eating?! I've eaten it all in the county. Liu Qin said, and told the process of going to Lu Nan.

Wang Yulan listened, so she gave up, and turned to Liu Qin: "After a night in the car, are you tired?" Why don't you go and make your bed first, and you can go and rest for a while! Your dad and I are cleaning the kitchen, isn't it a sacrificial stove today? It's a small year. ”

Liu Qin said: "Mom, let Lu Dong and I clean up, I can't sleep even if I get home suddenly." ”

Wang Yulan said: "Hey, you two can rest for a while." ”

"He hasn't been back for more than three years, so let him do some work!"

Suddenly, a sentence came, and before the person arrived, everyone heard the voice and knew that it was Liuqin's sister-in-law's voice, and they all turned their heads to look, only to find that Liu Zheng and the two came in. So they all greeted the two of them, only Liu Jinqiang was leading the chickens in Peng Peng's courtyard to play, ignoring the matter here. Everyone was talking here, Liu Jinqiang led Peng Peng's chickens to run all over the yard, and Liu Zheng noticed the child in front of him, and suddenly turned white, It turned out that this is the nephew that his parents often talk about. So, they all went over to tease him and said, "This is Peng Peng, let's let my aunt and uncle see what they look like!" As he spoke, he went to pull Peng Peng. Peng Peng was playing happily, and was pulled by the two of them, stubbornly coming up, struggling, holding hands, and chasing after him. When the two saw each other, they had to let him chase him. Peng Peng ran and chased in front, Liu Zheng followed behind to protect, and the chickens were chased all over the yard, screaming "quack-quack-quack". Lu Dong saw that the family was disturbed by the child and didn't even have a chance to speak, so he went over and forcibly pulled Peng Peng back. But where can that be pulled back? Seeing Peng Peng earning again, Liuqin's father said: "You guys go talk, I'll take care of him." ”

Hearing his father-in-law say this, Lu Dong had no choice but to put him down again and let his father-in-law lead him to play.

Everyone turned around, and when they spoke, Lu Dong had to take out a cigarette and go over to light it for his father-in-law first, and then come back to light it for Liu Zheng and himself, and the family gathered together and laughed happily. Until Peng Peng was tired of playing, Liuqin's father led him back.

Seeing him coming, Liu Zheng's daughter-in-law said: "Dad, this Lu Dong and Liu Qin are back, I'm afraid they will have to spend two dollars this year, right?!" ”

"But no, they left in a hurry when they got married, and after such a long time, they came back suddenly, our family, and her aunt's house, don't we have to go around and have a look." Liuqin's father thought and said.

"That's not it, it's been so many years, don't come back, don't talk about it, come back and take a look." Liuqin's mother also answered.

Lu Dong heard it on the side, and said in his heart, what they said was also reasonable, so he thought for a while and continued: "Zhongah, I haven't been back for a few years, I should go for a walk, otherwise on a cloudy day, Liuqin and I will go back to my house first, I will go to my master's place to see, and when I come back, I will go to Guizhi's house to see, for this matter, my mother also told me, I will see how to arrange to listen to the second elder after I come back." ”

Liuqin's mother said: "Zhong, see for yourself, why is it convenient to come." ”

Everyone discussed it, talked about it again, and it was almost noon. Seeing that Liu Zheng and his family were going home to cook, Lu Dong hurriedly stopped him, and went back to the house to take out a copy of the cigarettes, alcohol and snacks he had prepared for the children. Liu Zheng looked at it and excused himself: "Our own family, forget it, stay and let our dad drink!" ”

Lu Dong said: "I have prepared it for our father, this is for you to drink." As he spoke, he forcibly stuffed it into Liu Zheng's hand. Liu Zheng saw it, so he had to continue, and then carried it home with his daughter-in-law.

The next day, Lu Dong and Liu Qin left the house early in the morning, went to the master's house to see the master, and came to Guizhi's house when they came back. The urgency is self-evident, saying that it is to fulfill his mother's wish, but in fact, it is also his mood.

At this time, Guizhi was directing the sea water to clean up at home, preparing to spend a clean and happy year after tidying up the messy clothes at home. But Haihai had something in his heart, and he was in a hurry to leave and couldn't leave, so he was angry and quarreled with Gui Zhi while doing it.

At this moment, Lu Dong and Liu Qin came in with a big bag of things. Gui Zhi was outside, and her sharp eyes made a "ah" and jumped up happily. The sea water was inside, and when he heard Gui Zhi screaming, he hurriedly stretched out his head to look, and when he saw that it was Lu Dong and the two, he also said "Ah", and the voice deliberately learned Gui Zhi.

Seeing the two of them like this, Lu Dong couldn't help but smile a little: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you're still such a talent!" As he spoke, he and Liuqin put the things they were carrying in their hands on the table, and said casually as if they were talking to themselves and the two of them.

When Gui Zhi saw it, he hurriedly approached and said while helping to put it away: "No! I said that in the New Year, I washed the sheets and curtains that should be washed, so I asked him to help, but he was in a hurry to play cards, and he didn't want to, so he kept raising the bar with me! I'm so angry, if you two don't come, maybe you'll have to fight me!" After speaking, he quickly pulled two chairs over, let the two of them into the chairs, and then spoke again: "You two are really, you are all your own people, come on, why are you buying so many things?" As he spoke, he poured tea with the seawater.

Liu Qin smiled faintly: "Yes, I haven't seen each other for so long, so I can't come empty-handed!" As he spoke, he turned his head and looked around, and asked, "Uncle and aunt are not at home?" ”

Haishui said: "They led the children to Dongtou to see the killing of pigs, this is not the New Year soon, go over to see what the price of meat is, you have to buy it." ”

After speaking, he took the tea and put it to cool, and asked casually, "When did you two come back?" Why haven't you heard Lu Nan say that you two came back for the New Year? ”

"Lu Nan didn't know, we arrived yesterday morning, got out of the car to find Lu Nan, and he was still shocked!" Lu Dongdao.

"I said, two days ago when he was at home, he told me that when he was twenty-eight, let me help paste the couplets of the Kai family, this time, you will post it when you come back!" Hydrochannels.

"You post it, I don't know if I can come over when I live far away, if I can come over, we will post it; If you can't come, you'll be able to help you do it. Lu Dong was not polite at all.

"The beauty you said, I didn't see you as an adult, and now you come back and want to talk to you, and you want to be lazy, how can you do it?! You have to come over on the twenty-eighth of this year, there are so many doors in the two courtyards, and the tired ones are more tired than the previous day's work, and I have posted them in the past three or four years, and this year you are back, and it is your turn to paste them. "The sea breath is a bit of a scoundrel, but it's true.

Hearing what Haihai said, Liu Qin also felt that Lu Dong should come back, so he went to persuade Lu Dongdao: "Let's come back and help paste it, after all these years, I also want to stay with Guizhi for a while." ”

Lu Dong listened, "hey, hey" smiled, and then took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for the sea water and himself, then nodded and put the cigarette in his pocket.

Seeing Lu Dong like this, Haihai coldly reached out and snatched the cigarette, and said, "I knew you were pretending!" Just bring back this box of local cigarettes and reload it? Take it! You! As he spoke, he prepared to put it in his pocket.

Lu Dong didn't go back and grab it, but took out a box of unopened cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to the seawater. The sea water caught it and looked at it, then put it in his pocket and said, "It's pretty much the same." As he spoke, he returned the box of cigarettes he had snatched to Lu Dong, and said casually: "You can keep this for others." ”

Lu Dong put the cigarette in his pocket, and a few people stopped messing around, and sat here and talked about some of the situations in the past few years. Actually, not to mention, the two sides also roughly know some of each other's situation from Lu Nan's mouth, but they can't extricate themselves from the longing in their hearts. So Lu Dong took the opportunity to tell Gui Zhi and Haihai what his mother had asked; Naturally, the cinnamon branches and the sea water also express their feelings of longing. After they finished talking about the family and talking about the children, after talking about the friends talking about the team, and finally talking about the household registration and land of Liuqin and the children, the sea water told Lu Dongdao: "Land, I transferred it once last year, in addition to the self-reserved land, one person and one acre two, the land of your original six people, because you all moved away, now there is only Liuqin and your children's land left, when the family left, the harvest of the season was given to Lu Nan, and then I have been planting, now you are back, you plant this land, right?" ”

"You still plant it, it's strange that I can't plant it." Lu Dongdao.

"In the past few years, I can't plant in vain, give you some food, right?"

"What are you doing for me, you should receive it if you pay it, where is this still said?"

"That being said, there are so many people in our team, who hasn't seen you here? And who wouldn't want to plant? Why did you give it to me, so I should give you some. ”

"What nonsense are we talking about? You help me plant, it's good if I don't pay for you, and you still have to give it to me? How can that work, you don't want to think about it, if the land is barren, the team may take it away! From this point on, you're still doing me a favor. As long as I don't move back to live in this matter, you can keep planting, and it's up to you to pay and collect, and don't mention anything else. Lu Dong said it directly.

"Okay, then I won't say more, you can ask for it at any time, and I will give it to you at any time." Saltwater agreed.

As he spoke, the seawater parents led their children back. When Lu Dong and Liu Qin saw it, they hurriedly stood up to greet them. When the two old men saw that it was them, they were busy asking long and short questions. Lu Dong and Liu Qin briefly answered one by one, and then also greeted the old man's physical condition. Everyone was talking happily, and Guizhi and Haihai prepared Zhang Luo's lunch meal. Lu Dong and Liu Qin looked at it and hurriedly said goodbye. The sea water and Katsura Zhi said that they were not willing to say anything. However, Lu Dong and Liu Qin wanted to go to the street to meet their neighbors, so they insisted on staying. When the two looked at it, they had no choice but to make an appointment with them to post a couplet and let them go.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the twenty-eighth day, the atmosphere of the New Year became more and more intense. The adults in each family are busy making gas, and the children are playing all kinds of games during this time that belongs to them. From time to time, the street pierced the sound of firecrackers, "crackling" and "booming". This afternoon, Lu Dong and Liu Qin came over at the agreed time, thinking that they had not been at home for such a long time, Lu Dong and Liu Qin prepared four dry dishes at home, brought two bottles of wine brought back, and thought that after pasting the couplet, they would have a small gathering with Guizhi and Haihai, and then gather with other friends. Unexpectedly, after arriving here, Haihai and Guizhi had already made an appointment with a few of their former friends to come over and began to paste couplets. Lu Dong saw that he was helping to finish it, and then set up a table in Lu Nan's room. It turned out that the sea water had this intention, and the wine and food had already been prepared, and at this time, the two of them were put together into a table, and the wine was enough. Everyone let go of their hands and feet, guessed the boxing order, drank enough happily, and looked back on the past during the banquet, naturally they were full of emotion, and naturally cherished the joy of reunion after a long absence.
