On October 6, Wanru and Lu Shiya went back to the resort to welcome the elderly people in their family for the vacation.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Wanru drove and Lu Shiya into the boundary of Fengcheng City, and saw patches of wheat fields growing seedlings, like green carpets.
The trees on the side of the road, whose leaves have turned yellow, swayed in the wind on the branches.
Sparrows flew in flocks, some singing merry songs on the branches, others searching for grass seeds among the weeds in the fields, and feasting on them.
When they are full, they play with each other, sometimes flying up and then falling again. It has brought infinite vitality to this barren land.
After two days of preparation.
At eleven o'clock, the mighty motorcade arrived at the resort.
Wanru saw that there were a few more old people. There are about 50 people who do security, troops, and medical personnel.
Governor Zhou, Zhang Bin, and Meng Haiyun came with them. There are also Mayor Han and Vice Mayor Hu in the city.
The old people sat down in the square, and a waiter brought fragrant tea. The arrival of several old people this time was like returning home, and everyone was very open.
There were twelve tables in the dining room, each with twenty-four dishes, and the best drinks were served. As on the previous occasions, the old man spoke, and Governor Zhou responded humbly.
Soon the table will begin.
Wanru and the women were talking and laughing together, eating delicious meals, and telling interesting stories about shaving sweet potatoes and picking persimmons the last time they came. They all feel relaxed and happy in a new environment.
After eating, the old people went back to the villa for a lunch break.
Wanru also arranged rooms for Governor Zhou and Mayor Han.
After waking up, there are people from the city and province who communicate with the elderly in the conference room.
Wanru and Lu Shiya and the women came to the cave in the back mountain, went into the cave to take a look, and watched the mountain scenery near the cave.
Wanru has been here for the first time since she came here and took some of the treasure. She also deliberately walked to the hole in the hole to take a look.
I thought to myself, time has been more than ten years, and no one has found out. It seems that it is difficult to have another destined person. Then wait for Yuchen to return to China, and tell him when he sees the opportunity.
There are pros and cons to many things, if you tell the eldest brother and the second brother, it's not impossible. However, while it will bring them wealth, it will also bring them a lot of trouble.
The psychological pressure of keeping secrets is not good, and if the two sisters-in-law are not strict in their mouths, it will cause an uproar.
Now as long as the children in the village are admitted to the university, they are paying their own tuition. It's kind of a reward for them.
Shiya took her grandmother's arm and several grandmothers and walked to the lake, in this environment surrounded by mountains and rivers, the old people told interesting stories about their youth, and laughter was endless.
Mrs. Peng looked at Lu Shiya beside her and said with a smile: "Since we Shiya followed Wanru, now we are like a big boss." Also a lot of spirits. ”
But I was thinking in my heart, your old Lu family is very blessed to find such a capable daughter-in-law. also added two eldest grandsons, not only has a successor, but also has a lot of money.
Mrs. Lu answered: "Shiya is also a shareholder of the textile factory now. Follow Wanru, now learn to do business, quite motivated. ”
Old Lady Wei turned her head and asked Wanru, "I heard that Yusong and Luo Xiaohan are serving as county magistrates in Cedar County near the resort. Let's go over and have a look. ”
Lu Shiya replied: "They are busy making vegetable greenhouses. Knowing you're coming, I'll come over to dinner with you tonight. ”
Wanru also said: "Yes, the three of them have been busy for more than two months now in order to make the vegetable farmers earn money before and after the Spring Festival. ”
The old people admired this mountainous area, with blue sky and white clouds, and fresh air. The leaves are red, yellow, and green, and each tree is like a flower tree.
When everyone turned to the overpass that day, they saw the old people and Governor Zhou coming down from the upper floor.
A car then drove away from the resort.
In the evening, Wei Yusong and Luo Xiaohan came back from Cedar County and had dinner with the old people.
The old people looked at the tanned faces of the two children and the appearance of their work clothes, and they all felt that they had become very pragmatic. is no longer dressed like before, and passes the days casually after work.
After dinner, everyone sat in the rattan chairs in the square, sipping tea, talking and laughing, watching the afterglow of the sunset in the mountains.
The old man Shangguan came to Wanru's office and sat on the sofa.
He asked, "Are you all so good?" ”
Wanru said embarrassedly, "Yes." I didn't feel this pain last time I was shot a few times. This time it almost cost me my life. ”
The old man squinted at her, smiled and said, "If it weren't for body armor, the gods wouldn't be able to save you this time." Not only are they good marksmanship, but their bullets are also powerful. In recent months, it has to be well maintained. ”
"Okay, no one in the family knows, right?"
"Yes. Only Liu Yanhong, who is next to you, knows what happened. ”
"Okay."
At ten o'clock, the old people went back to their rooms to rest.
Wanru took Lu Shiya, Wei Yusong, Luo Xiaohan and more than a dozen employees to carry steaming foot washing water. Take the foot bath to soak the feet of the elderly.
Lu Shiya said to her grandmother obediently: "When you are old, due to the lack of activity, you will feel sleepy and unenergetic due to the slow blood supply, and you will soak your feet every day, which can not only relieve fatigue, but also promote blood circulation,"
The old lady Shangguan smiled and said, "Since I soaked my feet last time I came, I have slept well." When I get home, it's very comfortable to soak my feet when I think about it. ”
Wanru soaked the feet of the old man Shangguan again, and after several years of getting along, she felt a lot closer to this majestic general, and she also felt that he was a loving father.
This father is easier to get close to than his own father.
The old man Shangguan glanced at his wife, who was also looking over.
The old man Shangguan could see that his wife felt very happy in his heart.
Although her daughter died young, she was very discerning and wise.
The decision he made at the end of his life was very correct, not only Mingyu was satisfied, Lu Shiya and Wanru were very close, and their old couple lived happily.
If her daughter has a spirit in the sky, she will also smile at Jiuquan when she sees the current scene.
Wanru went to the room of the old couple and soaked their feet.
The boiled footwashing water exudes the fragrance of peppercorns, and the heat fills the room, although it is only a trivial matter, which makes the elderly feel the warmth of home.
When Lu Shiya and Wanru came out of the villa and returned to the room, Lu Shiya also put a basin of warm water in front of Wanru, and had to soak Wanru's feet.
Wanru was very moved, this was the only one of her five children who soaked her feet.
has been with Lu Shiya for several years, and it has also warmed this child's heart.
She smiled and said, "This basin is big enough, let's soak it together." You also feel it, it's really comfortable. ”
Lu Shiya was not pretentious, took off her socks and put her feet into the basin.
Smiled and said, "Ouch! It's still hot. Hehe, I soaked Grandma Zhao's feet, and she was embarrassed. I said grandma, even if you are filial to your old age. To be here is to be home. ”
Wanru laughed and trembled, and rubbed her feet a few times in the basin of water.
Smiled and said, "Well, well said. Remember the saying 'a thousand wears, no sycophants', everyone likes nice words. Especially for the elderly like them, the children have all started a family, and they are a little lonely at home. We just need to take care of them and make their stay at the resort a relaxing and enjoyable one. Even if you return to the capital, you will be happy for a long time. ”
"Yes."
There was no word all night, and dawn in the blink of an eye.
In the early morning, the sky is clear and the autumn breeze is gentle. The sun is shining brightly on the resort.
It was an unusual day at the resort.
Listening to the crowing of chickens and dogs in the village, people feel the rich and tranquil village life, and also add to the quiet and peace of the resort.
After breakfast, the old people walked around the lake, sometimes resting in the pavilion. Seeing the schools of fish in the lake, they all became interested in fishing.
Then the staff who served them went and brought all the fishing equipment.
Each of them took a horse tie, sorted out the fishing rods, earthworms, and started the fishing competition.
In the morning, the results of several people were good, and the least of them caught four, and Lu Lao caught a big carp weighing more than five catties.
I also won first place.
At dusk, they climbed the steps to the South Mountain, and the whole resort was clear at a glance, there was a lake at the bottom of the mountain, and the overpass above the lake had a strange view. It's like a pool of clear water, which will be carried away by a giant at any time.
Looking at the resort from afar, it is really the deep house compound of the big family, and the small lake in front of it is their fish pond.
They walked along the ridge towards the west, and the whole village came into view.
The view from the courtyard of each house is unobstructed. Even the hens in the yard are chased all over the yard by the big rooster, and they can see it clearly.
A touch of red sunset shines on the West Mountain, the sunset is like a red fallen leaf, falling on the branches of the trees on the mountain, and flocks of birds fly off and fall, bringing infinite vitality to this quiet mountain.
Overlooking the countryside below, smoke rises from the cooking smoke of each house, and the whole village is shrouded in a soft smoke, dimly like a fairy's turban.
From time to time, there were a few roosters and dogs barking, as well as the bleating of goats. It also shows the real side of the countryside, which is very down-to-earth.
The fragrance of the earth, the fragrance of wild flowers, and the smell of food wafting from the countryside are refreshing in the space.
Wanru watched the old people come back, and the dishes were ready.
Maybe they are in a particularly good mood when they see the warm picture of the people in the village. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the wind and sunset.
Wanru also moved the table out and placed it in the square in front of the building, the steaming hot pot was full of aroma, and all kinds of dishes were beautiful in color and fragrance.
Wanru also had two drinks with the old man. Then the hot dumplings were served.
After dinner, everyone enjoyed the night view of the resort.
There are many street lamps around the small lake, illuminating the entire lake, especially the overpass across the lake, there are many colored lanterns hanging on the guardrail, in this late autumn night, like jewels, shining brightly.
On the surface of the lake, from time to time, fish jump and ripple. They want to see who the guests are this time.
Why did the whole resort take it so seriously as soon as they came, even the resort owners who easily did not come back stayed.
They jumped out of the water, made a magnificent turn, and plunged headlong into the water. One after another, they played with each other and had a lot of fun.
From time to time, there are crickets in the grass, singing crisp and melodious serenades, adding a lot of spice to this quiet night scene.
Several large, bright stars hang in the night sky, as if they are gods in the sky, carrying lanterns to patrol the vast space.
In this gentle breeze, take a deep breath and cool off.
The old people took a leisurely walk in this quiet and comfortable environment, and the loud and small voices of Shuangliang came from the market, and each of them was very relaxed and comfortable.
Nothing was said all night.
The early morning in the mountains is very quiet, when the roosters and dogs in the village sound to wake up the sleeping mountains and the guests from afar.
As the sun rises in the east, it radiates to the surroundings and slowly expands, reflecting the sky in red, green mountains and green waters, and birds chirping, making the whole resort lively.
The old people also got up, some walked by the lake, and some went climbing.
Wanru and the old ladies also walked on the overpass on the lake, looking at the fish in the lake, Lu Shiya also took steamed buns from the kitchen and smashed them and threw them into the lake, attracting many fish to come and fight.
Lu Shiya and the old ladies looked at the fish in the water and pointed and laughed.
Early that morning, the old ladies gathered around the pomegranate tree, the pomegranate yellow was red, and some opened their mouths, and the red and white pomegranates were exposed like a silly girl, giggling at everyone. They admired a pomegranate tree that bent its branches, and smiled with joy.
Mrs. Lu walked up and picked one off, everyone ate it separately, and ate it in their mouths, so sour that everyone had any expression, and all kinds of laughter were endless, laughing at each other.
The old people had dinner and went fishing.
Wanru took the women around the village, and then went again, picking pomegranates. I also picked some persimmons and put them in the square to dry.
In the afternoon, Wanru asked Xuemei to bring the peanuts she had bought in advance. All transported to the square. Spread on the ground. There is also a fruity aroma in the air.
From time to time, the old ladies picked up a peanut, opened it and put it in their mouths, and ate it crunched, giggling and laughing.
Since last year, Wanru has arranged for people to build many pavilions at different heights on the mountain. When the old people are tired from climbing, they will rest in the pavilion for a while, drink tea and watch the scenery.
In the early morning, or at sunset, you can hear their hearty laughter from time to time.
Sometimes, at lunchtime, the old man Shangguan also asked Wanru to deliver the prepared meal to the pavilion halfway up the mountain.
Wei Yusong and Luo Xiaohan came back to eat with the old man.
Everyone enjoyed the scenery of the resort, drank wine, and enjoyed a picnic among the trees.
Wanru took the old ladies to the countryside to catch up with the market and bought back a lot of strange knick-knaks. The old man also bought some cowpeas, red beans, black sesame seeds, etc. They all say it's green food.
On weekends, Wei Yusong and Luo Xiaohan went with the old people to visit the vegetable greenhouses they made.
When I saw that all kinds of vegetables in the greenhouse were growing vigorously, I knew that the efforts of the two during this time had begun to bear fruit.
That evening, at the suggestion of Wei Yusong and Luo Xiaohan, Wanru prepared a barbecue.
The fire is fully prepared, and skewers of lamb are placed on the fiery oven, and the aroma of mutton soon spreads.
Everyone was eating, roasting, and especially feeling the warm flames of the barbecue, and the smoke curling was very primitive.
