Chapter 296: Childhood Relatives

'Name, do you want to ask?' ’

Seeing that the topic was about to be skipped, Qi Zhuyue turned over slightly, her eyes glancing back.

'Let's put it first, there should be other ways to know. ’

After getting the look in the eyes of the person behind her, Qi Zhuyue didn't bother with the unspoken name anymore.

After swallowing back the name of the unspoken person, the middle-aged man only talked about the girl who was about to get married, and when he was a child, he just grew up to be able to walk and run, so he followed behind Wen Tao.

It's normal for a child who hasn't grown up to be wild in the mountains, Rao is a girl like Wen Tao, who was very good at climbing trees and swimming when she was a child.

"There's not a single tree in the village that hasn't been struck by you...... Alas, you later went out to work, and the children in the village gradually stopped. ”

Wen Qi's words...... is also one of the few children in the village who has not gone out, do you still have an impression of who she is going to marry? The kid at the east end of the village, who went to the woods to catch insects in the summer and came back, do you remember? ”

The answer, of course, is - or not remember.

However, are all the female names in Wenjia Village a single word?

In the case that "Wen Tao" didn't remember it at all, he could only listen to Wen Jianyuan's narration.

Interesting stories between young couples who are about to get married, and even love experiences, humans have listened to them and tried to find a little clue in them.

I don't know if Bai Su has found any clues, he heard the news that the wedding banquet will be held tomorrow.

"Tomorrow?" The black-haired youth interjected.

The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, tomorrow, everyone will participate at that time, you are Wen Tao's friends, and you can also go as guests." ”

As he spoke, Wen Jianyuan stepped forward and knocked on the door, exchanged a few words with the older women who came out to answer the door, and easily asked for a few wedding invitations.

According to the words of the middle-aged man, the invitation is what it means, everyone in the village knows the face, and Wen Tao has not returned to the village for a long time, and her friends are the faces of the people.

After giving the invitation, the door of the bride's house quickly closed, as if refusing to allow outsiders to enter.

Facing a few curious glances in the back, Wen Jianyuan explained: "The custom of marriage in the village is that men and women cannot meet for a while before the wedding. ”

I have heard of this kind of custom, and it still exists in some remote areas or rural areas, and it is necessary to follow the local rules.

"There's nothing else going on...... Ah, let's give it a go. ”

With that, Wen Jianyuan led them to the side to get out of the way, and let the other villagers carrying the boxes stop at the door of the bride's house.

Not long after the door was closed, the older woman came out again, thanked the villagers who had come to deliver the goods, and carried the box inside.

"That's?"

"Let's get married." Wen Jianyuan replied, "It should be the elderly women in the village who helped sew it." ”

Wenjia Village still maintains the tradition of hand-sewing wedding dresses, but it is no longer done by the bride.

Also, young people nowadays don't necessarily have this skill.

Don't go past the bride's house, maybe it happened to talk about marriage, and a commonplace topic was put on the surface - urging marriage.

"So Momo, which one are you interested in?"

One was not paying attention, and "Wen Tao" was led by her uncle to walk in the front position, and the middle-aged man thought that he had lowered his voice.

"The taller one, or the shorter one? Actually, I think the one with glasses looks okay now. ”

"Hmm......" Qi Zhuyue let out a slightly embarrassed snort, and then replied pretending to twist, "Still thinking about ......"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman with her braided hair took a step to the side and narrowed the distance a little.

She still didn't fit in.

With the middle-aged male Wen Jianyuan behaving so normally during the day, Qi Zhuyue felt deeply uneasy.

This Wen family village, are they all like Wen Jianyuan?

……

Not all, but mostly.

The only black-haired young man in the group who knew the answer for sure looked at the wedding invitation in his hand over and over again.

The red shell, the same color paper sprinkled with gold dust, and the brushstrokes of the brush left a few ink marks on the paper, probably not knowing their specific names, and only Wen Tao's name fell on it.

Book - Wen Tao and his friends.

Gao Tianyi: "Then how much do we want to give this gift money?" ”

Donno: "I don't know. ”

Gao Tianyi: "Give together or separately?" Why don't you ask somebodyβ€”"

Xia Chengyin: "Hey, don't discuss this kind of thing so seriously!" ”

Donno: "Is the money included in the department's reimbursement?" ”

Gao Tianyi: "Let Brother Xia go, can't he even fill in the cancellation form for the violation ticket?" I heard that Boss Gu also passed, what the hell is this?"

Xia Chengyin: "? Little ghost, who told you about this! ”

It's noisy.

Humans babbled about the human affairs that might be involved, but Bai Su's attention was all on the food that could be eaten at the wedding banquet.

Fold the fishy invitation card back into the envelope, and the black-haired young man thought that if the wedding banquet was really a whole fish banquet, he would not be unacceptable, after all, after cooking, the fish was still quite delicious.

It's just that human beings are probably not happy, and when the time comes, the five of them will sit at the wedding banquet, and he will be the only one moving the chopsticks, wouldn't it be very embarrassing.

Last night at Wen Jianyuan's and his wife's house, they were still able to confuse the past by pouring wine with one person and attracting attention by the other, but what if they were changed to a banquet with a larger scene?

There will be more eyes on them, and when the time comes...... That human being was left to fend for itself.

Of course, if humanity were to look to himβ€”

"Peach? Is it a warm peach? ”

Just as he was thinking about it without a beginning, a movement from ahead interrupted Bai Su's thoughts.

They were on their way to the village chief's house.

After figuring out the general distribution of the village, according to the usual process, the human beings have to go to the village chief's house to place it.

A minor complained: "It's a very RPG-style idea, do you want to turn over the jar in every household again?" ”

The bespectacled adult replied, "If you will be driven out of the village, don't try it." ”

While walking, he discussed the wedding banquet, observed the villagers passing by, and occasionally talked to save Qi Zhuyue, who was about to be forced into a dead end by his "uncle".

Just as they were about to reach the village chief's house, they passed by a large family.

Literally, the houses are built tall and magnificent, unlike most of the one-story bungalows in the village.

It was a middle-aged woman who happened to be standing at the door who shouted "Wen Tao", she looked at "Wen Tao" several times, and finally confirmed that "Wen Tao" was the child she knew when he grew up in the presence of Wen Jianyuan.

Who's this? Qi Zhuyue looked puzzled, the house was a little familiar, and she had seen it in Wen Tao's memory.

It was Wen Jianyuan who answered her doubts, and he should have guessed that the woman who hadn't seen her for many years couldn't recognize her, so he could only help.

"I hugged your ...... when I was a child" middle-aged man didn't know how to describe the relationship between them for a while, because the relationship was too complicated, and finally summed it up as, "The neighbor's grandmother ......"

"Grandma?" That's not the right age, right?

"Grandma's daughter." Wen Jianyuan gasped.

As a person from Wenjia Village, Wen Tao and the family in front of him have a kinship that is not far away, and that it is not close, and it is not close to each other, and it is necessary to send out three generations.

However, Wen Tao has a temperament that attracts the care of the elders, and although the relationship is a bit distant, it is loved by the elderly.

I have to say that the identity of the "warm peach" selected by the special department is very useful.

After being reminded, Qi Zhuyue still didn't think about it.

But she didn't show it, so she smiled at the middle-aged woman as a greeting.

I thought this was the end of it, just like a few people they met before, who recognized it and said hello and ended it.

But this big family is different, after the middle-aged woman responded to Qi Zhuyue, she immediately asked them to wait for a while, turned around and walked towards the house, and shouted her name as she walked.

The group can't go, so they can only stay and wait.

In the process of waiting, Wen Jianyuan revealed a piece of news.

The one who is about to hold a birthday banquet is the family in front of them, and the old man who wants to celebrate his birthday is the one who hugged "Wen Tao" when he was a child.

Once again, I sighed that the identity of "Wen Tao" was very well chosen.

The middle-aged woman who entered the house quickly turned back, and she beckoned to Qi Zhuyue again, motioning for her to come in and sit for a while.

People are nostalgic for Qi Zhuyue when she was a child, and after she returned to the village after such a long time, she wanted to reminisce.

"Now that the old man has just woken up and is refreshed, he may have to take a nap after lunch." The middle-aged woman said, seeing that there were other people on the side, and added, "Come in together, you can all come in and do it." ”

To go in or not to go in? The route seems to have reached the fork option.

In the case of double happiness in this village, there is an opportunity to enter the family of the birthday banquet to visit......

"Go ahead." Bai Su suddenly said behind the person.

When the humans had seen him, he looked beyond the high walls and drifted to the dwellings of the people separated by the walls.

"It's a bit of a concern."

The black-haired young man didn't even point out, but stood there thoughtfully, expressing a desire to go in and have a look.

In the end, they decided to split their forces into two ways.

Qi Zhuyue, Tang Nuo, and Bai Su followed Wen Jianyuan to the house of the person who was about to pass his birthday, while Xia Chengyin took Gao Tianyi to continue to wander around the village.

The latter group was unilaterally requested by the minors, and he really wanted to know about the "lake", so the adults separated someone to accompany him.

After screening out candidates who can control people and will not follow the young man Hu Lai, Xia Chengyin was dispatched.

In an angle that is invisible to middle-aged men, someone shows an indescribable expression.

Qi Zhuyue: "...... Are you serious? ”

Bai Su: "What do you say?" ”

Qi Zhuyue: "...... Senior Xia really doesn't know how to fool around! Don't forget that he is the one who pays the most fines in the game. ”

Don Nuo: "It's okay, that is, the suspect who was beaten up in violation of rules and regulations in drag racing......"

Qi Zhuyue: "Isn't this very bad...... Wow, the last time Senior Xia went to the city next door for a speeding ticket, I went to my colleagues in the Ministry of Transportation to help deal with it......"

I regret it when I asked, she shouldn't have taken that job.

The fragmented thoughts of colleagues from the Ministry of Communications seemed to echo in their ears again, and people were dizzy when they heard it.

"Are the people from the Department of Transportation scary?" Seeing that the human beings showed painful expressions, Bai Su was a little curious.

"Yes, it's scary." Qi Zhuyue nodded, and even Tang Nuo, who usually had no change in expression, showed some agreement.

"Anyway! Absolutely not! Go to them for convenience! "It's better to accept your fate and pay the ticket than to be accommodating, otherwise you will hear a long and annoying instruction.

The black-haired young man nodded as if he didn't understand.

He definitely can't meet it, he doesn't drive on weekdays, he has to take the zebra crossing and other traffic lights when he goes out, and to some extent, he is a very orderly monster outside of eating.

Wen Jianyuan and the middle-aged woman were chatting and leading the way in front, and there were still many people busy in this courtyard, and when they saw a new face, the middle-aged woman turned around and gave them an introduction.

If you say less, you only talk about a name, and if you talk more, you will mention whether there is a connection with Wen Tao when she was a child.

"Wen Tao" himself responded with a smile at first, and his face was almost stiff after laughing.

Qi Zhuyue: Save the child, is this the interpersonal relationship of the big village with the same surname? Loved, loved.

Before Qi Zhuyue really smiled stiffly, they walked to the house where the old man lived, limited by the inconvenience of his legs and feet, the old man lived on the first floor, and was sitting in a rocking chair at the moment, quietly basking in the sun in front of the door.

The old man with bad ears waited for them to get very close, and was called by the middle-aged woman, and the old man opened his eyes from the half-squinted nap.

It is said that the eyes are opened, that is, the eyelids are stretched open by a slit, and the eyesight that plummets with age makes it difficult for the elderly to distinguish the scene in front of them, and the blurred color blocks can only be clear after wearing reading glasses.

The rocking chair was stopped by the soles of his feet, and the old man slowly sat up straight with the support of others.

Pushing the reading glasses, his faint eyes opened and narrowed, and the old man finally recognized "Wen Tao".

"Hey, Wen Tao is back, it's changed a lot."

Seeing that Qi Zhuyue fell into a new social situation again, the two accompanying people stepped back very unsympathetically and let go of the old place.

"Is that good?" Bai Su asked, "Feel...... Miss Wen's nerves were tense. ”

"No way, only she can do this." Don Nuo raised his eyes and looked at the braided woman in front of him who was talking to someone, "It's not that the department didn't think about finding someone with the same ability, but I didn't find it. ”

Special abilities may be seen as a gift from heaven in the absence of these chaotic supernatural events, and a small number of people feel that they are the mercy of demons.

However, neither the gift of heaven nor the mercy of the devil is a miracle that can be easily reproduced.

The mood of the human being is a little low, although it is not obvious, but it is still captured by Bai Su.

Is this for the sake of companions?

Bai Su tried to decipher one or two, but he didn't last long in this step of understanding and chose to give up.

Instead of speculating on human emotions, let's do something interesting.

In the corner of the courtyard they sat down on a chair brought by the hospitable host, and a small stool was placed in front of them as a low coffee table, on which a fruit plate was placed.

Bai Su picked up an orange casually, pinched his nails into the peel and slowly peeled it off, and then carefully picked off the white silky orange.

Finally, while throwing the flesh into his mouth, he took a bite of the sweet and sour juice and pressed his elbow against the human's waist.

The bespectacled young man had just a piece of itchy flesh around his waist, and he almost jumped up, so he hurriedly held himself down.

"Look over there." Not feeling like he had hit the wrong spot, the black-haired young man picked up the next orange.

His chin turned towards Na, guiding the human to look to the side, and opened his mouth lightly: "There...... There is an inhuman existence. ”

"The category is the same as the person who has been replaced by black silt."
