Chapter 565: Back to the Countryside
After hearing this, Chen Yan smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm not hypocritical, the peasant uncles can live, why can't I live?" If you want to say that everyone counts backwards in front, the last three generations were still farmers. You can't forget your roots. ”
I was greatly moved by Chen Yan's words.
My mother also gave a thumbs up and praised Chen Yan.
The two soon entered a state of harmonious chatting.
My mother introduced Chen Yan to many interesting things in the countryside, as well as the animals and crops in the countryside.
Chen Yan is also telling us about the urban anecdotes of the big city and the humanistic habits of the magic city.
Along the way, our mood was well released.
So much so that I gradually forgot the sad thing that Chen Yan and I were about to part ways.
The drive took about five hours.
By the afternoon, I had already driven to the entrance of our village.
Because I had already spoken to the village chief on the phone.
Many villagers stood on the side of the road and greeted us warmly.
I pulled down the window and responded politely.
Soon, we arrived at my home.
"Chen Yan, you...... You and Li Heng are now walking around the courtyard. I'm going to clean up my room. ”
My mom was a little anxious.
After all, after she and my father left their hometown in the countryside, the old house has been neglected.
At first glance, I brought people in, and it was dusty all over the ground, which really gave people a bad impression.
Chen Yan shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'll clean up with you." ”
I smiled and said, "No need, just let my mother clean up, and you can accompany me to the village chief's house." ”
I took out the gift from the trunk and beckoned Chen Yan to accompany me to the village chief's house.
On the way, I briefed Chen Yan on the situation of our rural village chief's family.
and mentioned the village chief's daughter Fenglian.
Chen Yan listened with relish, and disgusted that I hadn't greeted her in advance before.
Since the village chief has a daughter who is about her age at home, she should bring a gift to Fenglian.
I enlightened Chen Yan and said that we rural people are actually not as particular as urban people.
There are some things that she shouldn't care about too much.
However, based on this situation, Chen Yan also nodded.
It's still a bit restrained.
I feel like I'm a little rude.
Soon, Chen Yan and I went to the village chief's house.
The village chief was very enthusiastic about my arrival.
I put the gifts on the cabinet in the village chief's house, and then I was busy introducing Chen Yan to the village chief.
The village chief looked a little restrained.
The whole person was in a state of surprise.
I think he is still used to it because he has been in the countryside all his life and is honest.
So it seems that I don't know how to communicate in front of people in the city.
This is also a characteristic of our rural people.
Because many times, I am out of the house and dare not communicate too much with people outside.
In the eyes of people in the city, we have obvious social phobia.
Actually, we don't need to explain it.
Because for us, it's just simplicity.
The village chief thought I was too polite to him, and I had to bring gifts to his house.
I also tried my best to tell him that it was not me who was polite, and that this gift was given to him by Chen Yan.
If I had come by myself, I wouldn't have brought anything, and I might have to come over to eat.
My words directly swept away the uneasiness in the village chief's heart.
"Li Heng, uncle knows that you won't be polite. This Chen Yan girl, oh no, should be my niece and daughter-in-law, very beautiful. In the words of our hometown, there is temperament. ”
"Thank you, uncle, for the compliment."
Chen Yan also responded politely.
The village chief brought us chairs and asked me to sit down with Chen Yan.
I looked around and saw that the village chief was the only one in their house.
I asked suspiciously, "Uncle, where did Fenglian and my aunt go?" I didn't see them either. ”
"Well, I guess I went to the ground. But they'll be back in a minute. ”
"Don't go. It's going to be ready for dinner, and I'll ask your aunt to come back and cook right away. ”
The village chief asked enthusiastically.
I hurriedly said, "Don't uncle, my parents are back too." ”
"I know they're back, too, but your old house hasn't been cleaned up for a long time, and it's time for dinner soon, so you can't go hungry."
"Eh, uncle, when it comes to eating, I was about to tell you." I paused and said to the village chief, "My mother and I came back this time to hold an engagement banquet in the village. ”
"I know. I mentioned it last time you called me. Done it over there? ”
"That's it."
"That's good." The village chief patted his chest happily and said to me: "Don't worry, I will help Zhang Luo in our village." ”
I still feel a little rustic about the village chief's sincerity and all-encompassing attitude.
"Thank you, uncle, but if I do it in our village, how much will it cost?"
I don't know much about rural seats.
But I'm a person with a big appetite for rural mats.
Even when I went from a salesman in a big city to the manager in charge of the sales department, I used to eat many delicacies from the mountains and seas that are not found in the village.
But when it comes to taste and feel, no food can resist the big feast in the countryside.
Even if it is for this point, I think Chen Yan will definitely not come in vain this time.
"The price!" The village chief hesitated.
He looked at Chen Yan.
I understood that the village chief was hesitant, and he must have silently increased the budget for me.
After all, he didn't want me to be looked down upon by Chen Yan.
Later, after thinking about it, the village chief said to me: "The price is also good, how many people do you plan to invite?" ”
"More than seventy people, about eight tables."
"Oh." The village chief nodded, and then said, "Then it is estimated that it will take 30,000, and 30,000 is enough." ”
"Okay, then I'll give you the money first." I immediately handed over the money to the village chief.
At this time.
Footsteps were heard in the courtyard of the village chief's house.
Feng Lian came back with the village chief's wife.
I haven't seen Fenglian in a long time.
I immediately stood up and stood in the house, near the door, to greet Fenglian and the village chief's wife.
The village chief also stood next to me and introduced Chen Yan to her wife and daughter.
"Li Heng is back, yo, and he has such a beautiful daughter-in-law." The village chief's wife could see some joy.
We are all natives of the country, and their family has a good relationship with my parents in private.
So, I was very enthusiastic about it.
"Auntie, I came to see you, I plan to hold a banquet in the village, and I also came to invite you."
When I held a banquet in the countryside, I didn't plan to collect everyone's gift money at all.
I just want to be festive.
In addition, the newly renovated house I built for my parents was also renovated immediately.
It can also be regarded as a double happiness, and it will be lively in advance.
The village chief's wife smiled happily, saying that she couldn't wait for a long time.
