Chapter 65 Xinghua Village
The villagers of Xinghua Village are well-off, and several families in the village own ox carts, so they didn't think it was strange to see a covered ox cart entering the village entrance. It was time to chat.
At most, I took a look at the ox cart.
"Hey, the Feng family's daughter is back to see her parents again."
"If you say Qiu He is filial, she should marry into a wealthy family so that her parents can enjoy the good life as well."
"Everyone, keep an eye on it. Qiu He will come back when she has time. Her parents said that she always brings a lot of things with her, including several kilograms of tofu. This stuff doesn't keep well, so it can only be eaten for two days at most..."
"Tofu is so expensive! One pound of tofu can buy one pound of whole grain noodles. It's a pity that we don't know how to make tofu."
"This is an inherited craft. You think you can learn it just by wanting to. It's also because her parents are good at raising their daughter. They raised a daughter who is hardworking, capable, and has a good temper. Otherwise, who would be interested in a country girl like her?"
"That's right. The young man Qiu He married is a smart man who knows how to live. He treats Qiu He well too. If he hadn't agreed to let her come back often, how could she go back to her parents' home so often?"
"Look at Qiu He, and then look at the daughter of the Shen family. They used to be treasured by the whole family, but now they are married and have never come back to visit."
"Oh, her parents missed her so much. They used to visit her often, bringing food and money. It's a pity that she never came home to visit..."
"Who else would spoil their daughter so much? Once she's married, she's like spilled water. If her parents had focused on their son earlier, perhaps the eldest and second sons of the Shen family wouldn't have wanted to split up the family."
"Humph, what do you mean by not dividing the family? The eldest and second sons already have wives and children, and they've long since separated from their parents. They want to live their own lives, not hand over their earnings to the government."
After talking about the Shen family, the women in the village started talking about other families and gossiped for a long time.
They had loud voices, and Shen Yueyao had very good hearing, so she couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth as she listened all the way.
In my memory, my eldest brother was more honest and simple, while my second brother was better at talking and could make my parents happy.
There were some minor conflicts, but that's how they ended up splitting up.
Feng Qiuhe saw Shen Yueyao's expression and knew that she had heard something. She took her hand and said, "Yueyao, everyone in the village is like this. They just come out to talk about these things when they have nothing to do. They don't have any bad intentions. Don't take it to heart."
Feng Qiuhe has only one brother, and his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew all have a good relationship with his parents.
Every time she came back, her brother and sister-in-law were very welcoming, so she was willing to come back.
But the situation of the Shen family is a bit complicated.
These things were not noticeable before, but things have changed since the eldest and second sons of the Shen family got married and had children.
Shen Yueyao has four brothers. Her fourth brother is never home all day and is said to be hanging out with gangsters outside.
This is really unsettling.
However, Feng Qiuhe had met Shen Yueyao's fourth brother and had been doing business outside for a long time, so he could see something. He always felt that Shen Yueyao's fourth brother looked capable.
But people in the village may not think so.
Shen Yueyao smiled and said, "Qiuhe, don't worry, I know what's going on."
Her eldest and second brothers are much older than her, and she has been closest to her third and fourth brothers since childhood.
Fortunately, my third and fourth brothers did not move out of the family.
She can feel more at ease knowing that they are filial to their parents while they are still alive.
Anyway, we should go home and see what the situation is before we talk.
Feng Qiuhe's home is at the easternmost end of the village, and Shen Yueyao's home is at the northernmost end of the village, some distance away from the main street in front of the village.
When Shen Yueyao arrived at the door of her home, she looked at the familiar courtyard wall and the apricot tree at the door, and felt a trance in her heart.
It’s like going back to my childhood.
At that time, she would play with her friends in the village at the door. When it was time to eat, her mother would come out and call her into the house to eat.
Her mother loved her very much. Whenever there was something delicious at home, she would leave it for her because she was reluctant to eat it.
Later, her soul traveled to another technological world, and the temperament of this body changed drastically, causing her parents to suffer.
Shen Yueyao felt a little uncomfortable.
Just as Shen Yueyao was in a daze, a little boy walked out of the yard, panting as he walked to the door. He tried to move his legs to get out, but he couldn't move.
He was lying on the doorstep, round and fat, ready to roll out.
Seeing him like this, Shen Yueyao wanted to laugh.
She walked over and offered help, fearing that he would fall.
The little boy raised his head, blinked his big eyes, looked at Shen Yueyao blankly and said, "Hey, sister, who are you?"
Looking at the little boy, Shen Yueyao felt close to him from the bottom of her heart. He was white, chubby, soft and cute, and he was not afraid of her.
Unlike the eldest and second child in the family, she feels distant and restrained towards her.
And the little boy looks like the third brother at first glance.
She knew that it was probably the son of her third brother and sister-in-law.
"Is your father's name Shen Shaochen?"
The little boy nodded softly, "Yes, yes, sister, how did you know?"
Shen Yueyao couldn't help laughing and said, "Because I am your aunt."
The little boy exclaimed, "Wow, you are the auntie that Daddy was talking about. Auntie, I am Xuanxuan."
"Come, give me a hug."
The little boy obediently stretched out his hands to let Shen Yueyao hold him.
Shen Yueyao just picked him up like that.
The little boy put his arms around Shen Yueyao's neck, looking very affectionate.
"Tell Auntie, how old are you?"
The little boy counted on his fingers and said softly, "Auntie, I'm two years old."
"You're so good. Auntie has brought you some delicious food."
Fortunately, I bought some candy and snacks at the market yesterday, which are just right for the children.
Xuanxuan said, "Aunt, I don't want to eat it. Give it to grandma and mom. Grandma was sick before, and mom was sick too."
As he spoke, Xuanxuan lowered his head, looking sad.
Seeing him so cute, Shen Yueyao couldn't help but kiss his chubby cheeks, "Don't worry, with your aunt here, your grandma and mother will be fine."
The sound of the two people talking seemed to reach the house.
A familiar voice came from inside, "Xuanxuan, who are you talking to?"
A somewhat thin woman walked out of the house.
When she saw Shen Yueyao, the watering can in her hand suddenly fell to the ground.
The woman trembled in disbelief and said, "Yes, is it my Yao Niang?"
Xuanxuan struggled to get off Shen Yueyao, and walked to the woman's feet with his short legs, tugging at her trouser legs and said, "It's Auntie, Grandma, it's Auntie."
Shen Yueyao walked over, hugged the woman and said, "Mom, it's me, I'm back."
Shen Yueyao said the following sentence with deep meaning.
The woman choked up and said, "Okay, okay, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"Before you were in Liuhe Village, we didn't dare to visit you for fear of causing you trouble."
Shen Yueyao knew that her parents had been worried about her and had visited her before. Even if they had brought food and silver, her predecessor would not appreciate it and would speak harshly to her.
As a result, her parents could no longer visit her.
But fortunately, she is back now and can be filial to her parents.
The woman looked up at Shen Yueyao carefully, seeing her clean and pure eyebrows and eyes, and said happily: "Good, good, this is my Yao Niang, this is my daughter."
