Chapter 3: Back to the Village

After five hours, Shainin finally returned to the town.

"Ning Ning, Ning Ning, I'm here."

As soon as Xie Ning got out of the taxi, he heard a familiar voice, looked up, and sure enough, he saw Lao Xie who was sitting on a tricycle not far away waving at her.

"Dad." Xie Ning pushed the suitcase and walked in the direction of Lao Xie.

As soon as she walked a few steps, Lao Xie suddenly came to her in front of her on a tricycle, and put her luggage behind the tricycle in three or two clicks.

"Come up." Shainin saw that there was a small bench on the back of the tricycle, and then there was a smile in his eyes, and he got into the car in response.

The tricycle suddenly turned on again and headed for Qingshui Village.

A few days ago, Xie Ning called her family and told her that she was going home to develop, and although her parents were a little worried about whether something had happened to her outside, she was obviously very happy to be able to come back.

No, it's a long time ago, Lao Xie said that he would come to the town to take her home.

Xie Ning sat in the back, and when he looked up, he could see Lao Xie's back and gray, thinning hair.

The last time I went home, it was the Spring Festival the year before last, and it has been more than a year, Lao Xie's hair is obviously whiter than at the beginning, and even the back that has always been structured is a little rickety.

In the past, in Xie Ning's heart, his father was like a mountain, with a straight back, and he could carry her on his back when he was young, giving her enough security to go out to work in the fields every day, as if he would not be tired, and support the whole family.

But now, Xie Ning realized that his father was really old, he was already sixty years old this year, his hair gradually became thinning and white, and even his back was not so straight.

Shainin lowered his head and covered his slightly reddened eyes.

Even if it wasn't for that, she was right to go home this time.

As soon as I entered Qingshui Village, I met many familiar villagers.

"Eh, old Xie, where are you from?"

"Hey, this is Ning Ning, hey, he's getting more and more beautiful."

"Let's go ten miles and eight villages, just count Ning Ning is the most beautiful, even more beautiful than a big star."

"Well, my daughter must be the prettiest of all." Lao Xie smiled, and a few folds were revealed at the corners of his eyes.

"Ning Ning, why are you back?"

"Ning Ning, do you have a boyfriend, if not, I will introduce my nephew to you, and I will tell you my nephew ......"

"Ning Ning, you are 27 this year, you are not young, it is time to get married......"

The tricycle stopped at the gate of the yard, dealing with a few neighbor aunts who wanted to introduce her boyfriend, Xie Ning was completely relieved when she finally entered the yard with Lao Xie.

"Dad, I'll pick up the luggage."

"Don't, just come here, I'll mention you to your room, I knew you were coming back a few days ago, and your mother washed and dried the quilt and pillow early. By the way, your mother estimates that this will already be ready, hurry up and wash your hands and prepare to eat, there is your favorite dish today. Lao Xie pushed the luggage and avoided her hand.

As soon as the words fell, a familiar figure appeared at the door, it was not her mother, Ms. Zhang Yuqin.

I forgot to mention that her family is not small, and there are many houses, with a Japanese-shaped structure, with a yard in front and a small farmhouse courtyard surrounded by several houses behind the gate, but some of these houses are my uncle's house, and now my uncle's family lives in the city center, and they will come back during the New Year's holidays, and these houses are now empty.

"Ning Ning is back." Grandpa Xie, who was carrying a hoe and holding his trouser legs, also came back, and when he saw his baby granddaughter, he had a smile on his face.

"Grandpa."

"Ning Ning, you're hungry, come and eat."

"Eh, okay."

The family of four sat around the dining table, and in front of Shainin was her favorite braised eggplant and sweet and sour pork ribs.

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, you eat too." Shainin sandwiched the vegetables for them, and the family ate happily.

"By the way, Ning Ning, you have to come back to develop now, nothing happened." Zhang Yuqin's eyes were worried.

Xie Ning couldn't cry and laughed and was moved, "No, I just want to go home and accompany you." "As for the bad things in the past, there is no need to tell my parents.

"That's good, by the way, are you looking for a job?" Lao Xie also asked with a sigh of relief.

"yes, why don't you ask your cousin to ask for you?" Grandpa Xie said.

Xie Ning's cousin Xie Zhou, the son of her uncle, now works in a beauty and pharmaceutical company in the city, and he entered after graduating from graduate school.

Xie Ning put down the bowl, groaned, stared at his grandfather and parents, and said slowly: "Grandpa, parents, I plan to come back to farm this time." ”

"What, farming?!"

"Yes, I think that our family has so many acres of land, ponds, and mountains, and it is really deserted to leave it alone, I want to farm the land, grow green vegetables, fruits, raise fish, and do a live broadcast, maybe I can build a farmhouse in the future......" Xie Ning said his plan.

But after listening to her words, the family was silent.

After a long time, Lao Xie held back a sentence, "Ning Ning, are you sure you can farm?" ”

It's no wonder that Lao Xie thinks so, it's really that the Xie family really doesn't have much talent for farming.

Speaking of which, this field, pond, and mountain were contracted by Grandpa Xie many years ago, and Grandpa Xie wanted to do a big job, planting grain, raising fish, planting fruit trees, and planting medicinal materials.
