Chapter 50: Preparing to Return to the Village
As soon as Xiang Wan returned home, he closed the doors and windows, and then took out the snail noodles that he had been hungry for a long time from his backpack, and prepared to cook a big bowl at noon, plus green vegetables, perfect!
Fortunately, the taste of the bagged snail noodles is not particularly big, and it will be tasteless after turning on the fan and blowing it for half an hour.
After eating the snail noodles, Xiang Wan sighed in satisfaction, and then went back to the room to take a nap.
In the afternoon, I went to watch a movie with Wu Yan, the movie theater in this era is very old, the curtain is quite blurry, and the sound is very noisy, but everyone except Xiang Guan can watch it with relish, but Xiang Guan really can't stand it.
In the next few days, Xiang Wan did his homework at home, and Wu Yan also went back to his hometown.
Xiang Xiong arrived at home at 5 p.m. on the third day, carrying a large bag and a small bag in his left and right hands, and a backpack on his back.
Xiang Wan asked while helping him unload his things, "Dad, what did you bring back?" How can there be a back basket? ”
Xiang Xiong smiled and said: "The village brought eggs and cabbage and potatoes to the family, and the back basket was full of tea, which was specially left for me by the village chief, and when I came back, Xiao Peng brought me a lot of mountain goods and toffee bought on the road, saying that you should like it." ”
Xiang Wan looked at the box full of white rabbit toffee that Xiang Xiong took out, and looked stunned.
Xiang Xiong thought that his daughter didn't like it, and hurriedly said: "I remember that you loved to eat this when you were a child, but when you were a child, our family couldn't afford to buy too much." ”
"I like it now, but now that I'm older, I will be laughed at by others if I like candy again."
Xiang Xionghu glared: "Who said you can't eat candy when you're old?" You like to eat candy when I'm so old, I see who dares to be foolish, you can eat it if you like it, and I'll buy it for you after I'm done! ”
"Okay."
Xiang Xiong saw that his daughter agreed, hurriedly restored his smiling face, pointed to the back basket and said: "The village chief left me a lot of tea this time, I didn't ask for Xiao Peng's there, and when I go to Qi Lao's place the day after tomorrow, I will fill him with more past, and he will love to drink this tea." ”
"Okay, I'll go find a bag to put it up now," Xiang Wan said and walked to the utility room to find a bag that looked suitable for packaging, and returned to the dining table to fill about five catties of tea.
A basket of tea leaves is tightly packed, with nearly 30 catties.
Later, the father and daughter sorted and placed the things they brought back, and the White Rabbit Milk Candy Xiang Wan put it in the cabinet next to the dining table.
Xiang Xiong came out of the shower and saw that his daughter had cleaned up the house, and said distressedly: "Just leave the things to my father to clean up." ”
"It's not tired, it's a good thing."
Xiang Xiong was helpless, he said these words many times in the past year, but his daughter was too sensible, and it didn't work if she said it herself, so she had to do her best in her daily life, and she would clean it up again.
"What else do you have at home? Why don't you go to a restaurant at night? ”
Xiang Xiong has been away from home for a few days, Xiang Wan has been exchanging food on the platform to solve three meals a day, and there is no food at home now, so he thought about it and said: "Dad, why don't you take two lunch boxes and go to the restaurant to get two dishes and come back?" I cook at home. ”
"Okay, then I'll go out and buy it now."
After Xiang Xiong left, Xiang Guan went to cook rice, and by the way, he washed and dried the dirty clothes that Xiang Xiong brought back.
Xiangguan actually likes this era, whether it is simple people or high-quality air, it makes Xiangguan happy, but the only inconvenience is that there are no smart home appliances, and you have to do it yourself.
There are still many years before smart home appliances, so wait slowly!
When Xiang Xiong came back from buying hot dishes, the rice was still good for a while, and the father and daughter sat at the dinner table and talked.
"After the results come out in two days, we will take some time to go back to the village and see when your Uncle Deng is free."
Deng Zhike and Xiang Xiong came out of the same village, the two played very iron when they were children, according to Xiang Xiong, Deng Zhike loved to chase after him from the time he was bare-assed, and the two were iron brothers with bare pants!
Xiang Wan nodded: "Uncle Deng is also going back?" What about Aunt Pei Rong? Do they have a leave in their unit? ”
"I don't know about this, but they have to go back to the village for a few days every summer, and there are still old people in their hometown, so they have to go back and see."
Xiang Wan continued to ask: "Can our old house still be inhabited?" How long will you stay? ”
"I can live, the village repairs the house every year, and the village chief of our house also changed the beams of the house, and I left the key to them when I went last year, and they will go to the old house to weed or something when they are empty."
After speaking, Xiang Xiong thought for a while and continued: "Let's go back and stay for five days this time, there is nothing fun in the countryside, and you probably will be bored if you stay." ”
Xiang Guan has never been to his hometown, and he doesn't know what it looks like, but through Xiang Xiong's words, Xiang Guan can be sure that the people in his hometown are very easy to get along with.
After the father and daughter finished speaking, the rice was ready, and the two went back to their rooms to rest after dinner.
In the early morning, it was a light rain outside, and Xiang Wan was woken up by the ticking sound and could no longer sleep, and the foggy weather outside put a mosaic on the surrounding houses, giving people a sense of unreality.
Xiang Wan returned to the bed and continued to lie down, and after a while he heard a sound outside, it was estimated that Xiang Xiong got up to make breakfast, Xiang Wan rarely woke up early, and then put on his clothes and went out.
"Did Dad make a noise about you?"
Xiang Wan shook his head, yawned and walked to the toilet, while replying in a thick nasal voice: "It's raining outside, tick-tock." ”
Xiang Xiong suddenly smiled, pointed at Xiang Wan and said with a doting face: "You, you have been like this since you were a child, as long as it rains outside, you will wake up, but it rains, it is hot for so many days, it should also rain, otherwise how can the crops in the field be tidy." ”
"Dad still knows crops?"
Xiang Xiong smiled, with pride in his tone: "Your father and I grew up in the countryside since I was a child, and I often helped the family do farm work after being able to run and jump. ”
"Daddy is amazing."
Xiang Xiong's parents were injured in the ten-year turmoil, and Xiang Guan's mother's parents died one after another when Xiang Wan was two or three years old, and later Xiang Guan's mother also died of illness, and the entire Xiang family now only Xiang Xiong Xiang Guan and a cousin who has not seen him for more than ten years are still in the world.
According to Xiang Xiong, the cousin suddenly disappeared one day more than ten years ago, and the family had to give up after a long time of unsuccessful search.
Xiang Guan analyzed, the cousin was a scholar from childhood to adulthood, and the time of disappearance was exactly the year before the turmoil, although the family was not a landlord but also had a small asset, it is estimated that he received the news and went abroad.
Fortunately, the people in the countryside and villages are good, and the Xiang family only suffered some hardships on the surface during that time, and everyone did not treat them as enemies in private.
But these are just conjectures made by Xiang Guan through Xiang Xiong's mouth.
