When the sun's big face plate was only a little lost, Yang Shi drove the donkey cart and finally came to Yangjiazhuang.

Yang Xiaotao also breathed a sigh of relief, finally arrived, and he could get out of the car slowly.

Originally, they could have come back earlier, but with Yang Shishi's personality, when passing by Gaojiazhuang, it was inevitable that they would show off again.

If it weren't for Yang Xiaotao's reminder that time was running out, Yang Shishi would have stayed for a while.

No way, who let his father-in-law's family here?

Yang Xiaotao also scattered a box of big front doors, and then left from the seven aunts and eight aunts, which also made the whole Zhuangzi have daughters in their hearts, and they are asking someone to go to Yangjiazhuang to inquire about Yang Xiaotao's situation.

Standing at the entrance of the village, looking at the stone monument full of historical vicissitudes, the history of the establishment of the village is written.

Yangjiazhuang has been here for a long time, at first it was the Zhuangzi of a large family during the Qing Dynasty, and later came to the Republic of China, this family was looted by warlords and gradually reduced to the residence of ordinary people.

The whole village is a typical northern village layout, east, west, north and south, with cross streets, wide roads, and narrow lanes in various alleys.

To the north of the village is a ridge of earth, no more than 30 meters high and with a gentle slope, which is the main cultivation area of Gaojiazhuang and Hakuba Village to the west.

To the south is a small hill, the terrain is high, the mountains are undulating, there is a river in the south of Shanbei Village, and there is a reservoir about 100 miles upstream of the river.

Therefore, Shannan is the planting area of the village, and I remember that hawthorn apples and mountain chestnuts were planted there.

On her chest, Xiaowei was eager to try, as if she was returning to nature, and her comfortable mood could even be felt by Yang Xiaotao.

"Don't worry, you're playing!"

After appeasing Xiaowei, Yang Xiaotao saw two people coming out of the village.

One tall and one short, with the short one in front.

The two of them were wearing padded jackets, and the short ones were also wearing military coats, but the color was a little old, and they were draped over most of their bodies.

"Master!"

Yang Shishi shouted, Yang Xiaotao reacted and hurriedly ran over.

When I saw Mrs. Yang again, the old man's face was a little older than before, and his head was full of silver threads like steel needles, but it was not as dense as before.

"Master!"

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to support his arm, but Mrs. Yang raised his leg and kicked Yang Shishi's buttocks.

"Little bastard, why did you come back so late!"

"The whole family is waiting, no light or heavy!"

Yang Shishi laughed with him, not daring to dodge, "Master, Uncle Zhuang." ”

"It's a bit too much, and it's going slower!"

Yang Shishi smiled wryly, revealing the donkey cart behind him.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the tall figure on the side, with a Chinese face and square ears, standing there, with a pair of round eyes full of righteousness.

"Uncle Zhuang."

Yang Xiaotao shouted, this person is Yang Dazhuang, the village chief of the village, and the captain of the militia.

It is said that during this year's parade, he also participated in the militia phalanx and was a well-known figure in the surrounding area.

Of course, these are all told to him by Yang Shishi.

"Xiao Tao, just come back!"

Yang Dazhuang spoke in a loud voice, revealing kindness inside and out.

"Little rabbit, why do you bring so many things with you on one trip?"

On the other side, Mrs. Yang walked to the donkey cart, glanced at it, and then turned around and scolded.

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Don't you come back to honor you!" ”

"Get out, it's not your turn to honor you."

Mrs. Yang said, but his eyes saw the liquor on the car, and he stepped into the donkey cart with one step, and held a bag of liquor in his arms.

"You kid, what if you break it? I don't know how heavy it is! ”

Yang Xiaotao smiled, and Yang Dazhuang patted him on the shoulder, "Master has been waiting for an afternoon, and the dishes have been hot twice." ”

Yang Xiaotao was moved in his heart when he heard this, this is what it feels like to be at home.

No matter how late it is, there are people waiting for you to come home for dinner.

"Little Stone, hurry up and drive."

Mrs. Yang carried the wine bottle, looked at the things in the car, and hurriedly urged.

Yang Shishi immediately pulled the donkey cart forward, and Yang Xiaotao and Yang Dazhuang followed behind, talking.

As he spoke, it was already dark, there were no street lights in the village, and kerosene lamps began to light up in the houses on both sides of the road.

A little candle flame shines through the window, and the smell of cooked rice spreads around, adding to the fireworks.

Soon the car came to the "Brigade Headquarters", which is actually the office of the village, because it often gathers teams here to work, so it is called this name.

Of course, now it is also a place for the whole village to eat, and a collective restaurant for the entire production team.

This is the only place in the village where electricity is available.

Movies are usually shown around here.

When the car stopped, there were already people waiting in the yard, and the lights turned on, revealing a human figure.

"Xiao Tao, I'm back!"

"I'm back, and I've brought a lot of stuff!"

"It's terrible, the old root boy is out of luck!"

The discussion surrounded Yang Xiaotao, Yang Xiaotao was polite again and again, these people are uncles, uncles and sisters-in-law, and they can't be neglected.

Many people looked at the things in the car with envious expressions.

In these years, I ate a big pot of rice, and as long as it was time to eat, every family would go to the village canteen, that is, the brigade headquarters, with a rice bowl and chopsticks.

Of course, this is just a formal average, so that everyone has something to eat.

Therefore, logically speaking, these things brought back by Yang Xiaotao will be handed over to the team headquarters to take care of, and then the whole village will come to eat them when they eat.

But in reality, the elderly who are highly respected in a brigade often have more right to speak, and some village cadres also have more autonomy.

It's not that they're corrupt and they're picking up the wool of socialism, but they're making adjustments according to the actual situation.

The exchanges of people are all from a village, and there is nothing to say.

Yang Xiaotao is from Yangjiazhuang, and they all know this.

Therefore, these things are Yang Xiaotao's, and no one said what he wanted.

After all, this is what people bought to honor their elders.

"Okay, I've seen it all. After eating for a while, everyone will go back to their respective homes, tomorrow is the New Year, and some will be noisy! ”

Seeing that everyone was surrounding Yang Xiaotao, Mrs. Yang hurriedly spoke, and everyone dispersed.

Still, a few people were standing there.

Mrs. Yang didn't say anything, Yang Xiaotao was a little surprised, these people were not familiar with it.

At this moment, several people glanced at each other, stepped forward in unison, bent down, and frightened Yang Xiaotao to dodge.

"Uncles, uncles, what are you doing here?"

"I can't stand it."

Yang Xiaotao was inexplicable, and hurriedly said, but Yang Dazhuang on the side opened his mouth to explain.

"The money you asked your grandfather to bring back last year built a house for them, so you don't have to freeze this year."

"They can't pay it back now. But it has to be written. ”

"Otherwise, they will be on their minds all their lives."

Yang Dazhuang explained thoroughly, and several people and their expressions were also sincere.

"Xiaotao, uncle really thanks you, otherwise your money, my junior would have frozen to death."

The old man in the lead was about the same age as the first uncle, but his spirit was a big step behind, and he continued to bow after speaking.

Yang Xiaotao copied over one step and helped the old man up.

"Uncle, what you say, you don't treat me as the Yang family."

In a word, it goes to the hearts of everyone.

The old man had tears in his eyes.

"Uncle, uncles and uncles, my Yang Xiaotao is the seed of Yang Laogen, that is, the baby of our Yangjiazhuang, and the blood of Yangjiazhuang is flowing in the body, even if I die, I will be buried in this ancestral grave."

Yang Xiaotao didn't think much about it at all, and said it directly.

Mrs. Yang saw it really and shouted at everyone.

"Yes, Xiao Tao is right. Lao Jiu, don't be embarrassed for him! We don't talk to each other as a family! ”

"Pack up, go to my house in a while, and celebrate Xiaotao!"

"This little rabbit cub has brought several bottles of wine, let's drink a cup of it in a while!"

"Hahaha"

Mrs. Yang has a high status and speaks hard, and several people saw that Yang Xiaotao was not the kind of person who was careful, and even more so when it came to their hearts, they became more enthusiastic.

Only Yang Xiaotao was a little strange on the side, what to celebrate? Isn't it just going home? Do you still need to make it so big?

And, go home?

In his impression, this old house had long since collapsed, and when his father was still there, he lived in the team headquarters when he came back.

I didn't know the bottom of my heart, but I drove with Yang Shi and followed everyone.

Just turned around, and stopped next to the brigade headquarters, in front of which was a double-open wooden door.

Mrs. Yang waved his hand, "What about Xiao Tao?" Come here and open the door! ”

Yang Xiaotao walked over from the crowd, looked at the two doors full of traces of time, and reached out to push them suspiciously.

Chirping~~

The wood creaked, the door was pushed open, and inside was the courtyard, opposite the two houses.

"Master!"

Yang Xiaotao turned around, but Mrs. Yang asked him to go first.

Yang Xiaotao didn't understand what the situation was, but he vaguely felt that he had guessed something, and he crossed the threshold and walked into the house in confusion.

"Haha, alright, let's go in!"

After Mrs. Yang finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao immediately understood what was going on, he didn't dare to accept this gift.

"Master, you make it clear, what's going on?"

Yang Xiaotao blocked everyone and hurriedly asked.

"You baby, you can't guess if you're so smart?"

The uncle on the side suddenly spoke, but said it with a smile.

"I'll talk about it."

Mrs. Yang walked up to Yang Xiaotao and looked at Yang Xiaotao as if he was looking at his own descendants, his eyes were soft, but his voice was sonorous.

"Your family moved out early, and the house in the village has long collapsed and no one cares. I can't find the land anymore. ”

"The money you gave last time, the rest of my house was installed, I usually take care of it for you, and when you come back, you will have a place to stay!"

How could Yang Xiaotao not understand the meaning of the words, it was obvious that he had harmed two houses.

Excited, happy and deeply affectionate.

"Master!"

"I, I"

Yang Xiaotao's speech was confused, and his eyes were a little red.

"Speaking of what? If you don't think I'm an old man. ”

"No, I don't dislike it."

"In the future, you will be a member of the family, and I will give you a pension and send you to the end!"

What Yang Xiaotao said was not abrupt, and the people around him were not surprised.

Mrs. Yang led the people to make a revolution and fight devils, and the family was left with him, and the big guy had already said that the whole village would give the grandfather a pension and send him to the end, and now there is one more Yang Xiaotao, not much.

"Hahaha"

Mrs. Yang smiled heroically, and two tears flowed out, but then they dissipated.

"Okay, in the future, we will live together, and you kid will have to take care of the wine."

He held Yang Xiaotao up, his fingers were like steel bars, and he couldn't refuse.

"Get up, it's a good thing, happy thing, go, go into the house and eat."

Mrs. Yang took the lead in walking, but Yang Xiaotao stood aside to greet everyone.

This is his home, and it is only natural for the host to greet guests.

When I walked into the house, it was a little smaller than the courtyard house, and the walls were all covered with mud and newspapers for the sake of cleanliness.

There are two rooms in the east and west, and the middle is a guest hall.

A stove, a stove, a kang, a bed.

Soon, a fire broke out in the house, and Yang Shishi's daughter-in-law led two old wives to help, and Yang Xiaotao and Yang Shishi moved everything off the car.

In the front hall, there were seven or eight old people sitting around the table, and Yang Dazhuang on the side was pouring water in front of the table with a teapot.

Yang Shishi's daughter-in-law's surname is Wang, and her mother's family is from Gaojiazhuang, she is very honest, responsible, and doesn't talk much, but she is very diligent in her work.

Yang Xiaotao saw that there was only a little cabbage in the pot, and there was no meat and only a little oil foam floating on it, and he didn't feel that he was being treated slowly.

At the moment, this meal has exceeded the level of the countryside.

Moreover, in this era of eating big pot rice, this is equivalent to opening a small stove.

sighed in his heart, rolled up his sleeves, and came to the board.

"Brother Shi, bring the red bag."

Yang Shizheng secretly stuffed the milk candy he had saved into his daughter-in-law's pocket, and when Yang Xiaotao called him, his daughter-in-law's face suddenly turned red.

"Hey, okay."

Yang Shishi hurriedly took out a red envelope from the bag and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.

When the bag was opened, there was a large piece of meat inside.

Under the dim kerosene lamp, the color of the meat is a little yellowish.

The people around who were chatting with Mrs. Yang noticed this, and their eyes widened.

"It's lamb!"

A nose with a sharp nose smelled the smell and said affirmatively.

Yang Xiaotao had already picked up the knife and cut the mutton into slices.

"Drink mutton soup tonight, I'm invited!"

In a word, the enthusiasm in the room was high.
