Chapter 41: Returning to the Village [1]

After agreeing on the time, Peng Qingliang left satisfied, and smiled at Xiang Xiong's father and daughter.

"I don't know how much tea is left in the mountains, I remember that there is a mountain full of wild tea trees, when I was a child, I often went to pick it with your grandfather, and now I don't know if it's still there, this time it is estimated that it will take two or three days to come back, you are obedient at home, go to school to eat, and eat at your aunt's house, in short, you must eat on time, take care of yourself, Dad is not at home, you must lock the door at night."

Xiang Wan smiled and nodded: "I know, I'm not a child anymore, Dad, don't worry, do you want to buy something for the people in the village this time?" ”

"I definitely have to buy it, I will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a few packs of cigarettes, and I have to buy two bottles of wine, and then buy some melon seeds, peanuts and candy and the like."

Seeing that Xiang Xiong thought of it, Xiang Wan didn't say more.

It's summer now, and when Xiang Xiong went out to buy something, Xiang Wan went back to the house to pack two sets of clothes for him, brought a kettle, and poured a pot of mung bean soup when he left the day after tomorrow.

Mung bean soup Xiangguan can't be made, but you can ask Aunt Fu or Aunt Pei Rong for help, and Ming'er will go buy some mung beans and come back.

The next day, Xiang Wan went to study early in the morning, and when he went downstairs, he happened to meet Fu Cuiju who went out to buy vegetables, so he simply asked her to help buy some mung beans and come back, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to buy them at the vegetable market at noon.

When he arrived at the school, there were not many people in the classroom, Xiang Wan took the book and flipped through it, and it was not until there were ten minutes before class that Wu Yan ran in from outside.

"Xiaoguan, why didn't you wait for me, I also went to your house and knocked on the door for a long time, and Uncle Xiang was not at home, but I still met Aunt Fu to know that you went out so early."

Xiang Wan was stunned for a moment, and when he went out in the morning, his mind was full of what Xiang Xiong had not cleaned up, and he completely forgot about waiting for Wu Yan.

Now when asked, Xiang Wan had no choice but to tell the truth: "My dad is going back to his hometown tomorrow, and I just thought about what else he had to prepare in the morning, so I forgot to wait for you, I'm sorry." ”

Wu Yan waved her hand indifferently: "Why do you say I'm sorry, I didn't wait, I didn't wait, fortunately you didn't wait for me, I got up late today, my parents didn't call me when they went out in the morning, if you wait for me, you have to come to school with me, it's hot and tired, ouch, and sweating, it's so hot." ”

Xiang Wan originally felt embarrassed, so he simply picked up the textbook and fanned Wu Yan, shaking his arm while saying, "Next time I will definitely go up and call you, class will be almost in a while, why don't you go and wash your face with cold water?" ”

"Don't go, I'm so tired," Wu Yan said Wu Yan directly on the desk and continued to ask, "What are you doing when Uncle Xiang goes back to his hometown?" Isn't there no one to cook for you when he's gone, or you go to my house to eat, my mother likes the schoolbag that my uncle made for me last time, and said let me invite you to drink soda. ”

"Your mother doesn't object to you associating with me?"

Wu Yan was directly asked, and blinked her eyes before saying: "Hey, you don't know my mother, she is such a person, she can run faster than anyone else in good things, realistically, and those mothers-in-law in the unit building have said that you have become better and know how to greet people." ”

Xiang Wan never cared about the opinions of those people, and the reason why he greeted them was because he didn't want their words to reach Xiang Xiong's ears.

"And my mother is not like before now, when I went back to my hometown during the summer vacation, my grandmother said that my mother had a good meal, and Uncle Xiang was not at home during this time, you should eat at my house, let my mother give us pancakes to eat, don't you like to eat the most."

Xiang Wan smiled and shook his head: "No need, I'll eat the same at Aunt Fu's house or Uncle Deng's house, and if I can't do it, I can still eat in the canteen, and my dad left me money." ”

Wu Yan thought of the attitude of her parents when she went to her home in Xiangguan before, and after thinking about it, she forgot it.

The class bell rang then, and everyone took out their textbooks, paper and pens and waited for the teacher to arrive.

Everyone was quite serious in the morning class, and when the school was about to end, the teacher informed that a small test would be held next weekend, and a few people were happy and a few were worried.

Xiang Wan went home with Wu Yan at noon, and Xiang Xiong smiled and said during the meal: "We will set off before dawn tomorrow, and I will give you breakfast in a hot pot when the time comes, you get up and remember to eat and then go to school, lunch and dinner are either eaten at the opposite door or at school, and it is really not possible to eat in a restaurant." ”

Xiang Wan smiled and bowed: "Don't worry, I won't treat myself badly, you and Brother Peng go back to the village to pay attention to safety." ”

Xiang Wan packed up his clothes and other belongings for Xiang Xiong last night, but he didn't have to pack it anymore.

After lunch, Xiang Wan went to Fu Cuiju's house to get back the mung beans, and asked Fu Cuiju how to make mung bean soup, and then put things in the kitchen, ready to come back from school in the evening to make them.

Xiang Wan was a little absent-minded in the afternoon's class, and he was a little worried about the first separation of the father and daughter.

finally stayed up until the end of school, Xiang Wan pulled Wu Yan to walk fast, and when he got home, he went to the kitchen to make mung bean soup.

Xiang Xiong also came back with braised pork at this time, and saw that his daughter was busy in the kitchen, thinking that she was cooking dinner, so he couldn't help but speak: "Girl, I won't stir-fry tonight, I bought a lot of vegetables, you go downstairs to call Uncle Deng and them in a while, and then go next door to call Chen Han and eat at home at night." ”

"Okay, I'll go in a while, Dad, you help me watch the fire, I'll make mung bean soup, you will drink it on the road tomorrow morning," he said as he walked out the door.

Fu Cuiju and Hua Peirong did not come to the house, as for Deng Zhike and Chen Han came over, the two of them took white wine and dried meat respectively, and they were ready to drink a good meal at a glance.

Xiang Xiong smiled from ear to ear when he saw this: "I have bought meat and vegetables here, what are you doing with the things you brought here, I'm afraid I don't have them at home." ”

Chen Han doesn't come to the house many times, and he usually works in a cannery, so he is a simple and easy to get along with.

At this time, Chen Han scratched his heel and smiled and said: "It just so happened that some time ago, a lot of jerky was distributed in the factory, and I drank at home, so I just brought the wine this time." ”

Deng Zhike then said: "My wine was sent by the junior in the family, and it was said that it was made by home, if you say this for a while, I won't give it to you." ”

Xiang Xiong: .........

Xiang Wan put the wine glasses for them, put the appetizers in the bowl and brought them out, and then went back to the kitchen to continue his work.

"Girl, don't be busy, you have to stay up for a while, hurry up and come over for dinner."

Xiang Wan glanced at the table full of meat dishes and sat down according to his words.

The three big men drank and chatted, and Xiang Wan ate without a bite on the side, and when the time was almost over, he went to the kitchen to turn off the fire, and then put the mung bean soup out to cool, and then went back to the room.

I can't let go of chatting with adults all the time, and Xiang Wan felt this at the dinner table, so he simply left the space for them.
