After entering May, the weather became hot.

The villagers working in the fields no longer had the urge to chat. They wore straw hats and worked hard. They held hoes or sickles tightly in their hands, plowing the land, weeding, and harvesting skillfully. Sweat flowed down their cheeks and dripped into the soil...

The rumbling sound broke the silence, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

Then I saw two army green trucks speeding along the road.

"Is there a truck coming to our village?" someone asked.

"Is there going to be some big project in the village? But the village chief didn't give us any information!"

"It shouldn't be. Could it be that someone from the higher-ups is here?"

"Village chief! Village chief! Someone from higher-ups is coming!"

"Ah?" The confused village chief heard this and ran towards the train. Some villagers who liked to be lively also followed him.

A group of people were running when they realized something was wrong. They thought someone from the higher-level unit was coming, so they should go to the village committee. But why were they not heading towards the village committee?

Fearing that their superiors had taken the wrong route, they ran even harder, trying to catch up with the truck, shouting as they ran: "Wrong, wrong, the village committee is not over there!"

"Leader, wait a minute!"

By the time Xie Qingxiao and Xie Guoqiang heard their voices amid the roar, and saw from the rearview mirrors a bunch of people chasing after them, their car was almost back at the Xie family’s.

Xie Qingxiao ignored them and simply drove the car back to the open space in front of his house, with Xie Guoqiang following closely behind.

Xie Qingxiao got out of the car with a frown on his face and looked back at the crowd chasing after him.

"Brother Xiao, haven't we done anything wrong?" Xie Guoqiang asked fearfully.

"No," Xie Qingxiao said, and walked towards the crowd.

The crowd also saw Xie Qingxiao and Xie Guoqiang getting off the car: "..."

"It's not the leaders! It's Xie Qingxiao and Xie Guoqiang!"

"Ah! Why are they here?"

"Yeah, why are they coming back in a truck?"

"Come on, come on, let's go and take a look!"

The crowd was not disappointed and came over to watch the fun.

The village chief looked much more relieved. He approached Xie Qingxiao and asked, "Ah Xiao, why did you come back with a truck? Who did you borrow it from? What do you want to transport with the truck?"

"Village chief, we bought this," Xie Qingxiao said directly, leaving people in suspense.

"What? You bought a truck?" Everyone exclaimed. The Xie family can even afford a truck?

The village chief was also stunned and asked quickly: "How did you buy it?" The Xie family is a private business and has no affiliated unit. Even if they have money to buy it, they can't buy it because there are no quota!

"We bought it from the meat processing factory," Xie Qingxiao said. "They discarded it and we picked it up."

This is a modest statement, but people nowadays are more simple-minded. There are few cars, especially in rural areas, where even bicycles are rare, let alone large trucks like this one, so of course they don't look down on second-hand cars.

Especially for a second-hand truck like this, they may not be able to save enough money to buy it even if they farm for their entire lives.

Everyone circled the truck in envy, touching it and exclaiming in amazement.

The village chief also asked clearly that both cars were bought by Xie Qingxiao and his friends. He patted Xie Qingxiao on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction and said, "Good boy, the old man was right about you."

Xie Qingxiao smiled and said, "I hope this is just the beginning."

"Hahaha, that's for sure!" The village chief was full of joy. "Yes, I have to go back and tell the old man. If he knew you bought a truck, he would be very happy."

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

Xie Qingxiao watched the village chief go away and inadvertently saw the door of his own house open. His wife, his mother, and his aunt stuck their heads out holding the child, then retracted their heads and closed the door.

“……” He strode back.

Lin Xiangyi, Xie's mother, and Aunt Zhao all came out after hearing the noise outside. They knew that Xie Qingxiao and his friends had driven back, but they didn't expect to see so many people when they opened the door, so they immediately closed the door again.

"I guess they knew we were buying a truck, so they all came over to take a look!" Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.

"I guess so," Xie's mother smiled with a blushing face.

She was so happy that her family bought two trucks! If Xiangyi hadn't said that she would be complimented by a lot of people, she would have wanted to go out and see the two trucks right away.

Compliments? She was eager to be complimented. These were two large trucks that her Qingxiao Xiangyi had bought with her own strength! What was wrong with being praised?

In the past, they all said that her Qingxiao was a second-rate guy who did nothing but live off his parents!

But Xiangyi is not a vain person, she doesn't want to be praised by others. As a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she is embarrassed to say that she just wants to be complimented, otherwise it seems that she likes to show off.

"Country people don't know much, so they're always curious when they see a truck," Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "I can't wait! I've never seen a truck up close in my life."

Mother Xie's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she found a breakthrough: "Sister, you want to go out and take a look too, right? Come on, I'll go with you."

It happened that Xie Qingxiao pushed the door open and saw the three of them standing at the door. He asked, "Why are you coming out instead of going out?"

"Go out, right now!" Xie's mother said with a smile, and stuffed the baby in her arms, who was not sure whether it was Kuai Kuai or Le Le, into Xie Qingxiao's arms, "The child won't go out, you hold him."

Xie Qingxiao was suddenly given a son: "..." After taking a look, it was Kuai Kuai.

Kuai Kuai was suddenly held by someone else. He pursed his lips and was about to cry. Xie Qingxiao patted him soothingly and he stopped crying.

Lin Xiangyi watched Xie's mother pulling Aunt Zhao into the crowd. The villagers didn't dare to say hello to Xie Qingxiao just now, but now when they saw Xie's mother, they suddenly became excited and asked her if the truck was bought by Xie Qingxiao. They praised Xie Qingxiao for being so promising and actually bought a truck. They said they would enjoy a good life in the future...blah blah.

Mother Xie couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of her lips, she was smiling like a flower.

Lin Xiangyi laughed out loud: "Mom likes to join in the fun."

Xie Qingxiao turned his head and took a look. How could he not know what his mother was thinking? He did not expose her, but looked at Lin Xiangyi and asked, "Wife, do you want to go out and take a look?"

"Forget it, I've already seen it last time, so I won't join them for now," Lin Xiangyi said, "When you have time later, take me for a ride!"

"Okay!" Xie Qingxiao said immediately, "We are free tonight, why don't we go have dinner with Pengfei and his wife?"

Lin Xiangyi was a little moved when she heard this: "Okay!"

The two hit it off immediately!

When Xie's mother and Aunt Zhao came back, still unsatisfied, they were about to start cooking.

Xie Qingxiao came out of the house - just now, while Xie's mother and the others were not at home and the two little ones didn't know anything, he and Lin Xiangyi went into the house and spent some time together.

"Mom, you don't have to cook for me and my wife tonight."
