Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie took the lead and ran to Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua. Ruan Xi panted slightly and said excitedly: "We are back! We are back to spend the New Year with you! Not only us, but also the three little ones!"

As she said that, she turned her head and saw Ruan Hongjun and Ye Fan pulling Ruan Qiuyue slowly towards this side.

Liu Xinghua looked at the three figures behind and asked: "Who are those three?"

As Ruan Hongjun, Ye Fan and Ruan Qiuyue approached, Sun Xiaohui and Ruan Changgui in the stove room opposite stuck their heads out. Seeing Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, Sun Xiaohui said: "The dead girl is back, and she is willing to come back!"

Ruan Yuejin and Ruan Yuehua heard the noise and came out of the main house and stood outside the main house.

Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie ignored the family of four, and naturally did not go over to say hello, just pretending they did not exist. When Ruan Hongjun, Ye Fan and Ruan Qiuyue approached, Ruan Xi waved his hand and said, "Quick! Call grandpa and grandma!"

Ruan Hongjun was not unfamiliar with anyone, so he decisively let go of Ruan Qiuyue, saluted with one hand, and saluted Ruan Zhigao with a straight back. He greeted Ruan Zhigao, "Hello, grandpa! I am Ruan Hongjun!"

After greeting Ruan Zhigao, he saluted Liu Xinghua, "Hello, grandma! I am Ruan Hongjun!"

Ruan Qiuyue and Ye Fan thought he was stupid, so they smiled and greeted him honestly.

"Grandpa and grandma, I'm Ye Fan, the third child in the family."

"Hello, grandpa and grandma, I'm Qiuyue, the sixth child in the family."

It was the first time that Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua met these three grandchildren, and for a moment they didn't know what to do. It was mainly because it was too sudden. They were happy and moved, and also a little restrained for some unknown reason.

Seeing them in a daze, Ruan Xi smiled and said, "Grandpa and grandma, these are your grandchildren. I mentioned them to you in the letter, the third child Ye Fan, the fifth child Ruan Hongjun, and the sixth child Ruan Qiuyue, think about it."

Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua only reacted after hearing this, and hurriedly concealed their confusion, calling out, "Hurry, hurry, stop standing, you must be tired after walking so far here, come in and sit down and have a rest."

Then before they entered the house, they suddenly heard another sentence, "Hey, are the relatives coming home?"

Hearing the voice, everyone stopped and turned around, only to see that Ruan Changsheng and Qian Chuan had returned.

Ruan Changsheng saw Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie in the crowd, and quickly pushed aside Ruan Hongjun, Ye Fan, and Ruan Qiuyue, and walked directly to Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie, saying excitedly: "Hey! My two nieces are back!"

Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie laughed, "Fifth Uncle."

Then he looked at Qian Chuan and called out: "Fifth Aunt."

Qian Chuan walked to Ruan Changsheng, looked at them and said with a smile: "Mom has been here these two days. I was talking about you at home, saying that it was your first time to celebrate the New Year outside, and I felt uncomfortable without you at home. I didn't expect you to come back today."

Ruan Changsheng didn't stand there and said nothing more, just said: "It's cold outside, come in quickly."

Then before he took a step, he suddenly heard a voice from behind: "Goose..."

This was the ignored Ruan Hongjun, speaking with a dry voice.

Ruan Changsheng turned around when he heard the voice, and then realized that he had ignored the three children, so he looked at Ruan Xi and said: "Wait a minute, I seem to have forgotten one thing, who are these three little brats?"

Before Ruan Xi could say anything, Ruan Hongjun puffed out his chest, "I'm not a little brat!"

Ruan Changsheng looked at him and smiled, "Like a little fool."

After this, Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie, Ye Fan and Ruan Qiuyue laughed out loud.

Ruan Qiuyue looked at Ruan Changsheng and said, "Right, Fifth Uncle, I think he is a bit like me too."

Ruan Hongjun glared at Ruan Changsheng, then at Ruan Qiuyue, "You all want to see how awesome I am, right?!"

Ruan Changsheng knew it when he heard him call him Fifth Uncle. He looked at Ruan Qiuyue and the other two and said, "I see. You have never been to the countryside. My nephews and nieces, are you guys coming back for the New Year too?"

Ye Fan looked at him and said, "Yes, I'm coming back with my two sisters."

Liu Xinghua didn't let Ruan Changsheng Before he could continue talking, he hurriedly said, "The children are all exhausted after coming back. It's so cold. Don't stand outside here. Hurry up and go inside. Sit down and talk slowly."

In the stove room opposite, Sun Xiaohui stretched her head to see Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua bringing a group of children into the house. She turned her head back and said to Ruan Changgui, "Not only are they back, but they also brought back three children. Xiaoxi is quite capable."

Ruan Changgui was in no mood, "Don't worry about it."

Anyway, his eldest brother didn't come back, and he didn't want to go out and pretend. Even if his eldest brother came back, he might not be able to pretend this time. Who asked Ruan Changfu to come back without giving him any benefits and taking his daughter away?

Sun Xiaohui really wanted to take care of it, but she had to be able to do it.

If she wasn't afraid of Ruan Zhigao and Ruan Changsheng getting mad, if she could control it, she would have grabbed Ruan Jie and beat her up!

After beating her, she would have arrested her and told her not to run around again in her life!

In the side room, the family sat down at the table, and there was an oil lamp on the table, with the flame turned to the maximum.

Under the light, everyone's faces became clear. Ruan Xi introduced Ruan Zhigao, Liu Xinghua, Ruan Changsheng, Qian Chuan, and Ruan Hongjun, Ruan Qiuyue, and Ye Fan seriously, so that they could match the names with the faces.

After the introduction, Ruan Hongjun, Ye Fan, and Ruan Qiuyue called them grandpa, grandma, fifth uncle, and fifth aunt seriously again.

Ruan Zhigao was happy to see Ruan Hongjun, and asked with a smile, "How old is Laowu?"

Ruan Hongjun sat upright and answered Ruan Zhigao's question in a very formal manner, "Grandpa, I will be twelve years old after the Chinese New Year."

Ruan Zhigao looked at him and smiled, "You are exactly like your father when he was a child. You are a good material for joining the army."

Hearing this, Ruan Hongjun could not help but feel proud. The joy on the corners of his mouth could not be hidden. Then he simply laughed and said without disguising, "Grandpa has good taste. I was born to join the army!"

After that, he suddenly stood up again, boasted about the military salute, and shouted, "Salute!"

Ye Fan and Ruan Qiuyue who were sitting on both sides were startled by him again, and tried hard not to roll their eyes at him.

Seeing him laughing like this, Ruan Changsheng couldn't even stop laughing. After a while he said, "This boy is interesting."

Then Ruan Hongjun sat down, looked at Ruan Changsheng and said, "I'm Lao Wu, and you're Xiao Wu."

Ruan Changsheng suddenly stopped laughing when he heard this. He deliberately raised his eyebrows, "Hey! Boy! How dare you provoke me! Go out and ask around. I, Ruan Changsheng, have a say in Fengming Mountain, and no one dares to go against my opinion!"

When he stopped laughing and said this, the people around him started laughing again.

Ruan Changsheng was unable to hold back his laughter after a while, and then he started laughing again.

After laughing for a while, Liu Xinghua wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Stop making noises, stop making noises. The rice is just cooked. Let's eat first. The kids must be tired. Go to bed early after eating. We can talk slowly tomorrow morning."

But she really liked this atmosphere. The family hadn't been so lively for a long time.

Without the children playing around, there was less fun.

Ruan Xi followed Liu Xinghua to get up and serve the rice, and asked her, "Where's Third Aunt?"

Liu Xinghua went to the stove to get a bowl, "You forgot what time it is. She's busy."

Ruan Xi immediately realized that it was New Year's Eve in two days, and the period before the New Year was the busiest time for Ruan Cuizhi. When they are busy, they can't go home for a long time, and have to run around outside all the time.

Liu Xinghua opened the pot and served the rice, Ruan Xi brought the bowl to the table, and the others seemed to have a tacit understanding, and came over one by one to take the bowl, you take one, I take one, and no one was polite to each other.

After taking the bowls and sitting down, the family chatted while eating, the atmosphere was unexpectedly harmonious, without any strangeness.

Ruan Zhigao and his friends asked Ruan Hongjun and his friends a lot of things in the city, while Ruan Hongjun and his friends asked a lot of things in the countryside.

Regarding the countryside, Ruan Hongjun liked to listen to Ruan Changsheng's childhood stories the most. His eyes lit up when he listened to them, and he admired him so much that he even hated why he was not born in the countryside and could not be with Ruan Changsheng in Fengming Mountain!

He was so regretful in his heart!

Hearing that they were going to sleep after dinner, he still clung to Ruan Changsheng and asked him, "Uncle Wu, can I sleep with you?"

Ruan Hongjun smiled at him, "Why don't you ask your Aunt Wu?"

Ruan Hongjun was about to ask when Ye Fan came over and kicked him away.

Ye Fan said, "Aunt Wu, ignore him."

He was just a fool.

Because there was no place to sleep at home, Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie, Ruan Hongjun, Ye Fan, and Ruan Qiuyue went to the tailor shop to sleep. Ruan Cuizhi was not in the tailor shop, so they had two boys in one room and three girls in another room.

After washing up, Ruan Xi arranged for Ruan Hongjun and Ye Fan, and then went back to the girls' room.

Ruan Hongjun and Ye Fan were very tired, and their legs and feet were numb. They kept yawning on the way here. So the two of them went to the room, fell on the bed, covered themselves with the quilt and fell asleep without saying a word.

Ruan Xi and the others were also tired, but Ruan Xi still cared about Ruan Qiuyue's feet.

When she was washing up just now, she saw that Ruan Qiuyue's feet were rubbed with blisters. Ruan Qiuyue had said nothing on the way here, and naturally didn't take it seriously now. She just said, "Sister, I'm fine. I'll get used to it after a while."

Ruan Xi said to her, "You are really able to endure hardship."

Ruan Qiuyue smiled, "When you join the army in the future, you will have to endure much more hardships than this."

Ruan Xi covered her with a quilt: "I'll take you to see a doctor tomorrow morning. You will get better faster with some medicine."

Ruan Qiuyue didn't want to make too much trouble: "It's okay, no need."

Ruan Jie spoke up again and said, "Go ahead. If you don't go, I'll go by myself."

Ruan Qiuyue asked with concern, "Sister, are your feet rubbed too?"

Ruan Xi smiled and said, "No, I'm going to meet a friend."

Ruan Qiuyue understood then, "Oh, then I'll go with you."

They were so tired, that after talking about this, the three girls closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Because walking on the mountain road was too physically demanding, and because the surrounding environment made people feel at ease, the five of Ruan Xi and his companions slept until noon the next day. There was no need to eat breakfast, so they went back to have lunch.

On the way back, Ruan Qiuyue yawned and asked Ruan Xi, "Is the third aunt a tailor on this mountain?"

Ruan Xi nodded and said, "Yes, she is very busy during this period of time during the New Year."

Ruan Qiuyue asked again, "Don't we have the second uncle and second aunt? Why didn't we see them last night?"

Ruan Xi didn't say anything yet, and Ye Fan said, "Didn't you see them? They are in the next room, right?"

He looked at Ruan Xi and said, "Did they split up?"

The IQ of these two children was good, and Ruan Xi nodded again, "Yes, they are in the next room, they split up."

Ruan Hongjun was not interested in these topics, and ran back and forth on the mountain road, looking at the scenery on the mountain. Although there are no green hills and trees on the mountain in winter, you can still see the white mountain peaks covered with snow, which are still magnificent with the green pines and cypresses.

Ruan Qiuyue and Ye Fan are children after all, and they are not very interested in the gossip between adults. After a few words, they are also attracted by the scenery on the mountain, so they turn their eyes to see the scenery.

Because there is no need to rush, the mood of seeing the scenery is different, and the things seen are naturally different.

When we got home, it was time for lunch.

Because there were five more children around them calling grandpa and grandma, the house became very lively for a while. Ruan Zhigao and Liu Xinghua's faces were full of smiles all the time, and they greeted this and that.

They took out the New Year's goods before the New Year and let Ruan Xi and the other five people eat.

Naturally, Ruan Hongjun still relied on Ruan Changsheng. He followed him wherever he went and said, "Fifth Uncle, teach me a few moves. I will go back and show them to them, so that they know what a real master is!"

After lunch, Ruan Xi, Ruan Jie and Ruan Qiuyue did not stay at home for long. Ruan Xi and Ruan Jie took Ruan Qiuyue to the hanging building to watch the footsteps.

When they arrived at the hanging building, Ling Yao was not at home, so Ruan Xi had to ask Zhou Xueyun: "Where did he go?"

Zhou Xueyun ground medicine powder for Ruan Qiuyue and told Ruan Xi: "He went to the hillside."

Ruan Xi was curious, "Aren't there no pigs to release at the end of the year?"

Zhou Xueyun said: "Since you left, he has stopped talking and doesn't interact with anyone. No matter if there are pigs or not, whether it is cold or hot, he sits on the hillside, unless it rains." After

listening, Ruan Xi turned to look at Ruan Jie, "Then I will go to find him?"

Ruan Jie nodded, "You go, I'll stay here with Qiuyue."

Ruan Xi said hello to Zhou Xueyun and left the hanging building.

She trotted with her schoolbag to find the old place, and saw Ling Yao sitting alone on the stone from a distance. Weiwei walked closer and found that he was playing the harmonica, playing a sad, melodious and tear-jerking song - "Butterfly Lovers".

Ruan Xi walked behind him, and after a few steps, she did not go up to him. She just listened to the song quietly, and her eyes could not help but feel slightly hot.

Ling Yao sat and played for a while, then suddenly felt something. The sound of the harmonica stopped abruptly, and he immediately stood up and turned around, and found that Ruan Xi was indeed standing in front of him.

The two stood and looked at each other for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed together in tacit understanding.
