Chapter 4 Countryside
But so what? No one can change Master's decision. He doesn't want me to find him, so even if I find where he is, he won't see me.
My expression couldn't help but feel sad, but it immediately returned to normal, and I changed the topic with a smile. I just wanted to enjoy this meal.
The eldest sister and the second sister came back on the third and fourth days respectively. They came back after asking for leave, and they were accompanied by my two brothers-in-law and my little nephew.
Needless to elaborate, looking at the two very mature sisters, I still think of the change and the note I found in my pocket that year, my sisters.
The following days were peaceful. I talked to my parents and sisters every day, teased my nephew, and had a couple of drinks with my brothers-in-law. That was almost the entire content of my life. I didn’t have to think about anything, didn’t have to worry about anything, I just had to enjoy it.
This is the comfort of family love.
My parents and elder sister are worried about my work in the past three years. The eldest sister is a doctor in a hospital and wants to use some connections to get me into the hospital as a clerk or something. The second sister is now the director of a middle school.
She wanted to get me into school to stay there again.
My eldest brother-in-law is an officer in the army, and my second brother-in-law is a civil servant. I don’t know what the specific official position is. In short, they both want to help me, saying they want to get me into something, which makes me laugh and cry.
As for my parents, they were more direct. My mother said: "Son, our family has a clothing store and a storefront. You can do whatever you want, but are you afraid that you won't be able to support yourself? Don't go anywhere, just be a businessman."
The people are not bad either.”
My dad also said: "It's just that when we are old, it is better to hire someone to take care of it than to have our own son take care of it."
Family is like this, only they will worry about every detail of your life, but I felt guilty because I was destined not to be with my family all the time, and I didn’t want to accept the kindness of my sister and brother-in-law, because I hated being restrained, so I refused.
.
My refusal made my elder sister, who has a straightforward character, become furious and poked me on the forehead and scolded me: "Sanwa'er, what's the point of going to college for you? You still refuse to go out to work, why are you too shy to meet people? Why do you think your salary is so low?
?”
My second sister has a much gentler personality, but she is also anxious: "Sir, this person knows how to be lazy when it comes to playing. Don't stop working at such a young age."
My mother didn't have much education, so she just said: "Forget it if you don't work. It doesn't matter if you three don't work. When you come back, your parents will take care of you."
My dad scolded me: "Old woman, what are you talking about? My old Chen family wants to cultivate talents for the country, not socialist worms."
I heard that these are silly things. These daily conversations are what I lack most in my life and what I long for most. I enjoy them very much.
At this time, my two-year-old nephew also ran over and climbed directly onto my knees. After getting along with me these days, this kid is very tired of my uncle. As soon as he came up, he said: "Little uncle, little uncle."
, my dad asked me to ask you something."
"What's going on?" I pinched my nephew's pink and tender face and couldn't help but laugh. I like this kid very much. He looks like my eldest sister, and he is 5 or 6 points similar to me when I was a child.
, so I can’t help but prefer it.
"I'm just asking you, when will your little aunt come back? I want to see my little aunt." Tong Yan said endlessly. As soon as my nephew said these words, our two brothers-in-law laughed, as if the conspiracy had succeeded.
And I broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that these words were a dynamite.
Sure enough, my mother started talking: "Sanwa'er, I think this girl from XX's family in the county town"
"There is a female doctor in our hospital"
"There is a female teacher in our school"
"That's right, son, Dad thinks it's okay to start a family first and then start a career. Your mother and I want to have grandchildren."

After staying at home for ten days, I finally set foot on the road back to the small mountain village, accompanied by my family.
The changes in the village are not big, but not small either. At least the thatched houses and tile-roofed houses that were common in the past have almost disappeared, and have been replaced by neat two-story buildings.
I heard my parents say that they would come back often for a walk. When this person gets old, he always wants to go back to that small mountain village to retire, but he is used to the life in the city and feels that he can’t go back. This is the only contradiction in the situation.
Come back and take a walk.
I held my little nephew in my arms and told him some interesting things about my childhood. Passing by the school I went to, I realized that the simple school I had studied in when I was a child had been very well-renovated and had a magnificent teaching building. Looking at all this, I
It’s not sad at all. In my heart, paying attention to children’s education is a great thing and worthy of people’s happiness.
Along the way, the family chatted excitedly. The air in the mountains and countryside is always very fresh. Even if it is winter in Sichuan, you can still see greenery everywhere, which is very relaxing.
Walking on the familiar yet unfamiliar road in the countryside, old acquaintances greeted us along the way, but most of them only recognized my parents. This made my sisters and I sigh, how grown-up this person is.
Did it change that quickly?
But after walking a few steps, there was a person who recognized me first, and I recognized him at a glance—Guo Er!
When he was tortured by hungry ghost bugs, Surou and I went to rescue him. When Guo Er saw me, he ran over, grabbed my hand, and said: "Little Master, I haven't seen you in these years."
Already."
When I look at this man who used to be the most capable man in the countryside, I always feel that he is much more haggard than he was back then. This is also because the hungry ghost bug sucked his essence and blood, and he ages faster than ordinary people.
"I went to another place, are you feeling well?" I still greeted him enthusiastically. This is always the case when people return to their hometown. When they see everyone they are friendly to, they will put down some precautions. I have a somewhat closed personality. The older I get, the more I talk to people.
Not even a few words, but now I can still chat with Guo Er.
Guo Er and I talked about what happened in the countryside over the past few years. He said that the ancient tomb had been excavated long ago. I don’t know why the tomb was destroyed by the state. He said that it was in disrepair for a long time and he was afraid that someone might accidentally enter.
Pian'er has become a small rural factory.
Another new thing is that a Taiwanese came to the village and invested in a bamboo processing factory. He also renovated the cemetery where people are buried in the village, making it look like a park. In particular, there is a combined tomb, which is called
A beautiful one.
I knew these things well, but I couldn’t point them out clearly. I just listened quietly to Guo Er telling me. I was thinking that I would stay here for a few days and go see the Tomb of Hungry Ghosts back then.
Looking at the tombs of Li Fengxian and Yu Xiaohong can be regarded as resolving the worries of the hasty separation.
The family rejected Guo Er's enthusiasm to stay for lunch and continued to move forward, talking about some changes over the years. Unknowingly, we had arrived at the small mountain village where I had lived since I was a child.
I have been away from here for eight years, and when I come back again, this familiar village is not unchanged. Like the countryside, most people in the village have built two-story houses. It can be seen that the lives of the villagers are much better than before. Even
The roads in the village are the same as those in the countryside. They have changed from dirt roads to stone roads.
I was a little excited, holding my father in one hand and my mother in the other, and embarked on this road with a pious mood. After walking a few steps, I met familiar villagers. Of course, greetings were indispensable, and there were also surprises.
.
In recent years, people in mountain villages are no longer as simple as they used to be, but there are some things in their hearts that are not interests and can be changed by the changes of the times. Almost everyone warmly invited our family to have dinner at home.
Unfortunately, we had other plans, so naturally we refused.
Chatting with the villagers allowed me to learn about some people and things. At least I learned that Liu Chunyan, my classmate in elementary school, is now a promising person in the eyes of the villagers. He is already a civil servant and seems to have been assigned to work as a farm boy in the countryside.
Official.
I remembered that letter from middle school. Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel a little nostalgic for her when I was a boy, but I didn't meet her when I was walking in the countryside.
That's fine. We met, but I don't know what to say. Some fates are gone when they are scattered. As long as the affection from back then remains in my heart, it's not a bad thing. There have been too many separations, but I take these things very lightly.
.
The parents of Su Rou that I care about are doing well, in good health, and as cheerful as ever. I met Su Rou in Chengdu, and of course I brought them news about Su Rou. I told them that the Su Rou business is doing well.
Although I don't know what Surou is doing, it is necessary to give these two old people peace of mind.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Su Rou's father shouted loudly and said: "My son has a smart face. He can succeed in business. We are waiting for him to take us to the city."
Surou had a smart look on his face, I thought? I thought of that fat face, shook my head, and thought a little funny, probably only Surou’s parents could see the cleverness from that fat face, I didn’t have the nerve to tell Surou’s dad,
Crispy pork has already created a close relationship between their family and Dong Cunrui.
