As soon as the sky was bright, the crackling sound of firecrackers broke the silence of the whole village. Shen Lin rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, picked up the plum blossom watch placed on the bedside and glanced at it.

It's not even six o'clock!

When it comes to the New Year, sleeping on it is the most comfortable thing, but unfortunately Shen Lin can't do such a comfortable thing.

"Hey husband, hurry up and clean up, otherwise it'll be too late!" Lu Xiaorong pushed Shen Lin and urged.

Although Shen Lin wanted to stay in bed, he couldn't afford it.

Today, I want to follow the old man back to his hometown, he is a driver, and he can't go back if he doesn't go back.

Lazily glanced at Lu Xiaorong and said, "Daughter-in-law, did our little naughty mess with you again yesterday?" ”

"I also said, I don't know what happened to the baby yesterday, and I've been very excited, as if I knew that the New Year was coming."

"Hehe, you don't look at anyone's child! Produced by Shen Lin, it must be a high-quality product! I'm definitely a smart baby. The baby quickly grows up in the mother's belly, and when the Chinese New Year is next year, the father will take you out to play! ”

Shen Lin stroked Lu Xiaorong's bulging belly and said softly.

And just as he spoke, the villain inside seemed to have some sense, and actually moved.

Although he was holding his underwear and stomach, Shen Lin still had a feeling of blood connection, and his heart couldn't help but be eager.

Although there was Lu Xiaorong's urging, when Shen Lin was grinding, it was already half past six. When he drove to the hardware machinery factory, Shen Xingye and his eldest brother Shen Hai and other four people had already packed up and waited.

Shen Xingye glared at Shen Lin and said, "Why are you here so late?" ”

Shen Lin looked at the sky that had just dawned, and was helpless for a while, the old man was really too much, what time was it, and he actually said that it was too late.

But people's mouths are big, and they can only listen to what he says as a son.

"Dad, let's move something in the car first, and we can leave now." Shen Lin, who looked cautious, hurriedly diverted the topic.

Shen Xingye no longer complained about Shen Lin, he commanded his two sons to quickly put all kinds of things into the trunk of the jeep.

"Xiaorong's dinner, have you told your in-laws?" Zhao Honglian got into the car and asked a little uneasily.

Shen Lin waved his hand and said, "It's already been said, my mother-in-law will pick up Xiaorong and go home for dinner at eight o'clock." ”

"That's okay, Xiaorong is stupid now, if your father doesn't know how to drive, he has to let you stay at home anyway." Zhao Honglian said: "Why don't you call your in-laws and let her go over early?" ”

Shen Lin looked at the sky and said, "Mom, it's only an hour until eight o'clock, you still let my mother-in-law sleep more!" ”

"If you don't want to fight, I'll do it." Zhao Honglian didn't wait for Shen Lin to speak, and picked up the phone at home.

For his mother's excessive concern, although Shen Lin felt that it was a bit excessive, he did not stop it.

As for Shen Xingye, who was in a hurry to leave, he also did not stop Zhao Honglian, as if this was a matter of course.

An hour later, Shen Lin drove the car and took the family to Xiaoshen Village, which is located more than 50 kilometers away in Dongzhou City.

Xiaoshen Village is not too far from the scope of Dongzhou City, but in terms of zoning, it belongs to the adjacent Fuyuan area of Dongzhou City.

Back then, Shen Xingye came out of here and became a worker in Dongzhou Hardware Machinery Factory.

Xiaoshen Village in the early morning was already noisy at this time, although it was very cold, there were still many people on the street.

When the car stopped, Shen Lin saw two people he met on the street, greeting each other warmly.

And Shen Lin's arrival also attracted a lot of onlookers, and when Shen Xingye got out of the car, some people said enthusiastically: "Oh, isn't this Uncle Xingye?" ”

"Uncle Xingye, you're back, my uncle just talked about you!"

"Haha, second uncle, you can come back, I'm here to give you a New Year's greeting. Happy New Year! A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties saluted respectfully.

Shen Xingye greeted people with a smile, threw out the cigarette in his hand non-stop, and even gave New Year's greetings to some elderly elders.

Zhao Honglian also kept greeting acquaintances, looking at Zhao Honglian's appearance, she had a lot of times when she went back to this small Shen Village.

Shen Lin and Shen Hai are purely spectators. Shen Lin and the two generations combined, the number of times he returned to Xiaoshen Village was also very limited.

As for the people in the village, Shen Lin didn't know most of them.

So he held a box of cigarettes in his hand, stood behind Shen Xingye with a smile, and watched Shen Xingye excitedly chat with the acquaintances around him.

"Uncle, the car you drove this time is better than last year, tsk, if you want me to say, it's better to be the director of the factory!" A humane in his thirties, dressed in shabby cotton clothes, with runny nostrils and snotty noses from time to time.

Shen Xingye laughed at most for such words.

At this time, an old man who looked to be in his sixties and had a five-point resemblance to Shen Xingye, but was much older than Shen Xingye, walked over wearing a black cotton jacket.

As soon as he came over, he was greeted by quite a few people.

When Shen Lin saw this old man, he knew him, because this was Shen Xingye's eldest brother, Shen Xing's family. Although he didn't have much contact with this uncle, Shen Lin knew that the old man was usually very serious.

"Xingye is back, let's go home and sit first." Shen Xingjia came to Shen Xingye's side, glanced at the two brothers, Shen Lin and Shen Hai, and said, "The eldest and second are here, not bad." ”

Shen Hai and Shen Lin hurriedly greeted the uncle, while the old man commanded his nephew to drive the car home.

Coming to his hometown to pay New Year's greetings, Shen Lin and the two of them were purely decorations. Just when Shen Lin came to the uncle's house, drinking tea and listening to the chatter of the elders sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, he heard someone shouting at the outer door: "Go and see, the village is singing a big opera!" ”

Hearing this shout, the children in the uncle's family ran out almost at the same time.

And Shen Xingjia, who was talking to Shen Xingye with a smile on his face, suddenly said at this time: "You all stop me, if anyone goes to the play, I will break his legs." ”

Several children who should be called Uncle Shen Lin stopped timidly at this time, but their eyes were all puzzled and reluctant.

For such a situation, Shen Lin is also a little at a loss, what is the situation, why does the village head sing the opera, and the uncle doesn't let the children go?

However, coming to the uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings has nothing to do with Shen Lin, so he didn't bother to ask, just smiled and watched those children go back to the house one by one under the pull of their parents.

Just when Shen Lin thought that this kind of episode was about to pass, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, and with this laughter, he saw an old man in a leather jacket, walking in with a smile on his face.

"Haha, Xingjia, I heard that your second child is back, tsk, I'm just looking for someone to sing, it's from the county second troupe, this time the play is Xia Chenzhou, it's good, let's go listen to it."

The old man's voice was very loud, and when Shen Lin listened to it, he felt that the table of the Eight Immortals in front of him was shaking a little.
