Chapter 304: Revisiting the Old Place
An An went back to her bedroom, took a good shower, and lay on the bed and slept all night.
She was so confused that she didn't know what to do, so she simply bought the first ticket the next day.
She wanted to go back to Daping Village to see ......
It's been so many years since she left, and she hasn't been back.
Daping Village doesn't seem to have changed from before, the road is still the same road, the trees are still the same tree, but it seems that everywhere has changed, it has become depressed and desolate.
She had thought that the long road had suddenly become very close, and the mountain that she had thought was steep and unclimbable had somehow become a low mound.
Many young people have gone to the city to work, and most of the people who remain in the village are the elderly, children, or women who have stayed in the village.
Those women were all unfamiliar faces, probably just married in from another village.
The children didn't know her anymore, so they ran away from her with a smile and asked her, "Sister, sister, where are you from?" ”
A rickety old man on the side of the road was working, watching her pass by and looking at her with a pair of cloudy eyes, and only after a while did he dare to ask: "Are you ...... An An, right? ”
An An was stunned.
"I am, you are ......"
"I, I'm your grandmother."
"Grandma Ma?"
I haven't seen her for many years, she has really aged a lot, she has lost weight, her body has curled up, her skin is dry and thin, and her hands are like dry firewood, as if she wants to touch her, but she timidly withdraws her hand.
She wiped her hands on her clothes and smiled at her.
"An An, why did you go back to the village?"
"I'm ...... Pass by. An An smiled back.
"Where's your grandmother? Is she okay? Grandma Ma asked.
"Grandma, she's all right."
"You're still strong, aren't you?"
"Grandma's body is fine."
"Ouch, your grandmother is so blessed, she went to the city to enjoy happiness, unlike me, the children have all gone to work, so I and the old man are left in the village, and I am still sick......"
As she spoke, Grandma Ma picked up her hoe, sat on the dirt slope, and chatted with An An.
Talking about who is in the family, the new daughter-in-law is married, and the new boy is added to the family.
The old man is like this, guarding the inside of this village, and when he sees people he has known in the past, he has endless words.
An An also knew that Sister Yaya, who used to play well, had married to the next village, and the children could run all over the village, while Brother Xiaofeng went to work in the city, and there was no partner in his twenties, and the family was worried about gray hair.
After talking to Grandma Ma for a long time, An An stood up and said goodbye to her, and then walked towards the village.
Before I knew it, I walked to the door of the two-story brick house again.
The once imposing two-story building is now dilapidated and dilapidated......
The rusty lock of the broken door has not been opened for a long time, the gray brick path is covered with dry moss, and the once lively fireworks are gone, and some are just nameless dead grass invading the garden, and a bitterness enters the throat......
The opposite door of the Lu family is still the adobe house.
After so many years, it is still the only earthen house in the village.
In front of the door, a man in his twenties squatted there, a man in his twenties, bowing his head and pulling the food in his hand.
"Feng Yaozong!!"
A woman's angry roar came from the room.
"You're stealing my mother's bacon again."
A woman in her forties came out of the house with a spatula and grabbed Feng Yaozong's ear.
"Ouch, Mom, it hurts, it hurts, light, light, light,......" Feng Yaozong begged for mercy.
"Do you know it hurts? I deliberately made more bacon, I want to show you my daughter-in-law, you have finished eating now, what will the matchmaker eat when she brings someone to the door? ”
"Mom...... Who's coming to the door? Feng Yaozong grinned in pain and said: "Now the matchmakers in Shili and Eight Villages are no longer our matchmakers, and your bacon is also kept, so it is better to eat it."
I've been out of oil and water in my stomach for many days. ”
"What do you mean? How old are you? Not even a single object! ”
"I want to have, our family is so poor, who wants to marry?"
"Then you went out to work, people from Xicun went out to work for a few years, and now the buildings are up."
"I don't work, the last time I went out with Chen San, the supervisor dragged it like 2580,000 yuan, only a little money a month, I want to earn, I want to make a lot of money!
What to build a house in the village? I'm going to go to the city to buy a house and bring you and Dad to the city. ”
Feng Yaozong didn't know how many times he said this, of course Zhang Fen knew that it was unreliable, but when he heard it in his ears, his heart was comfortable, and the hand holding Feng Yaozong's ear was loosened.
The arrogance of the war here stopped slightly, and as soon as Zhang Fen looked up, he saw An An standing at the door.
Zhang Fen felt a "chuckle" in her heart, and obviously panicked.
The girl in front of her was so beautiful, but she inexplicably gave her a familiar feeling.
It also made her panic and even a feeling of suffocation.
"You ......"
"The Lu family."
An An pointed to the two-story building next to him: "Lu An'an." ”
And then I thought about it, hey, what did she tell her to do this?
She had come here by accident, so she shook her head and smiled.
"I'm just passing by, I'm leaving."
"An An...... You wait. ”
An An was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang Fen behind him.
Zhang Fen stepped forward enthusiastically, with a smile on her face: "Ouch, An An, look, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are really getting more and more beautiful, and my aunt is almost no longer aware of you." ”
"Well, you wait for me......"
Zhang Fen said, turned around and turned back to the house, and asked as he walked: "You wait a minute......
Zhang Fen approached the kitchen, took a large piece of bacon from the beam, weighed it in his hand, hung it back, and took a relatively small piece.
"This bacon is made by my aunt herself, and it's not worth much, but it's not easy to buy in your city, you can bring it back and let your grandmother change their taste."
Zhang Fen said as he stuffed the bacon into An An's hand.
An An looked at the bacon handed over by Zhang Fen, where did he dare to take it?
"Forget it." She said: "It's all in the city, you can buy it, and you have to keep it for when the matchmaker brings your daughter-in-law to the door." ”
When Zhang Fen heard An An's words, her face changed.
"That...... An An, it's such a thing, you see Yaozong, he is in his twenties, and he is still staying at home, and he doesn't have a serious livelihood, I think your family has made a fortune in the city, and there is a way out.
You see, they are all villagers in the township, I heard that you and Yaozong have always been at the same table when you were a child, for the sake of the previous friendship, you help Yaozong and help him find a job to do. ”
"Aunt Zhang......"
An An hung the bacon on Zhang Fen's hand and called her: "It's not that I don't want to help, it's that before, Grandma Feng came to our house to propose marriage, which scared my grandmother, and she specially instructed me to stay away from your house."
You see, I have to leave in a hurry even if I cross the road, and if I delay any longer, my grandmother will find out, and I am afraid that I will have to scold me again. ”
One sentence made Zhang Fen's face instantly darken.
