Chapter 246 Return to the Village
Anyone who heard Qiao Zhiyi's impetuous manner would feel a little uneasy, but when he said this, his lips were as sweet as morning glories.
Seeing his expression, Lin Siqiao's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally settled down.
Qiao Zhiyi didn't know that his expression had already betrayed himself. The reason why he rushed over early in the morning was because he was afraid that his niece would have wild thoughts.
"Xiao Qiao, don't worry. The call came yesterday afternoon. The man claimed to be Xiao Lu's second uncle."
"He said Xiao Lu is fine, so you can rest assured."
"It's just that he still has some finishing touches to do, so he might not be back until later."
After hearing this, Wang Xiaofei felt more relieved and said with relief.
"It doesn't matter if it's early or late, as long as everyone is fine."
Lin Siqiao nodded. As long as he could come back alive, it would be better than anything else.
Fortunately, this person remembered his words and reported his safety immediately, otherwise he would not have been able to have a good New Year.
The ferry was about to dock, and Lin Siqiao asked her cousin to take everyone to the waiting room to rest.
I went to the ticket office next door and bought a few boat tickets.
It was not until he got on the boat that Qiao Zhiyi remembered it.
"Eh? Where's the old fourth? Didn't he come back with you?"
Qiao Zhiping: “…” You really are my brother. Now you finally remember me.
After learning that he was also going on a mission, Qiao Zhiyi sighed silently.
I thought this year would be the year when the Qiao family would get together the most, but I didn't expect that the fourth brother would go out on a mission at this critical juncture.
Forget it, as long as he is safe and sound, there will always be a time for the family to be reunited in the future.
Soon the group arrived at Tongcheng Wharf, and it took more than an hour to drive back to the village.
However, the buses these days can only go to larger communes, but not to the production brigades below.
Fortunately, my uncle Qiao Zhide made arrangements in advance.
Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Every year at this time, the village also comes to hand in the task pigs and slaughter the New Year pig.
After delivering the task pigs, the village tractor was guarding the gate of the commune.
"Uncle, this way"
The driver of the tractor was also a relative of the Qiao family. When he saw Qiao Zhiyi coming over with a lot of bags, he quickly waved.
Qiao Zhiyi was a little surprised. Wasn't it his father who usually drove the tractors in the village?
"Hey, Damin, where's your dad?"
"Uncle, my dad is busy in the village. The villagers are sharing the work and money today, so my dad went over to help early in the morning."
Damin scratched his head and smiled naively, then turned to look at the people coming over.
"Hello, Auntie, Hello, Brother An"
When he saw Lin Siqiao, the man was obviously stunned. He just realized that this should be the niece of the village chief's uncle.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Yingan came up and slapped him on the back.
"What are you looking at? This is my third aunt's, my cousin!"
The man rubbed his body in pain, and he didn't say it wasn't a kiss. This was the first time he had seen it.
Qiao Zhiyi didn't care about this, but he was happy that his son could protect Qiao Qiao.
After putting all the luggage away, he carried the two little ones onto the tractor first.
The two little guys were so excited that they jumped up and down.
Lin Siqiao was worried, so he moved the luggage bag and spread the newspapers he bought in the morning in the tractor's bucket.
"When we drive later, both of you sit here obediently and remember to hold on to the horizontal bar in front of you. Do you hear me?"
"I know, sister."
Not long after they sat down, a lot of people came up one after another.
These are basically the sons who have public meals in the commune. They come to give them some things and stay for a few days.
Knowing that the village was going to slaughter the New Year pig and share the work money today, who would still want to stay in the commune?
This heart flew back early.
"You are the fourth daughter-in-law of the old Qiao family, right?"
"Yes, auntie."
Wang Xiaofei nodded, but she didn't have many opportunities to come back throughout the year.
Except for a few close relatives, she could recognize who was who, but she really couldn't recognize everyone else.
The aunt glanced at Wang Xiaofei, and seeing that she was pregnant, she asked with a smile.
"It's been six or seven months, right?"
"Yeah, almost."
"very nice."
My aunt smiled and said, "I see your belly is pointed, I guess this baby will be a boy again."
Wang Xiaofei thought, don’t do that.
But she also knew that people of this generation all wanted to raise children to provide for their old age.
Especially in rural areas, if a family cannot give birth to a boy, they may be ridiculed behind their backs.
So, she didn't take this issue seriously and just smiled.
After chatting for a few minutes, the aunts in the car turned their attention to Lin Siqiao, who had been silent next to them.
The reason is simple. In their words, there is no one more beautiful than Lin Siqiao in the surrounding area.
Not to mention her good looks, the key is that the Qiao family really loves this granddaughter.
We are all from the same village, and everyone knows that the Qiao family has been doing very well in recent years.
Boss Qiao is the team leader of the village, and his daughter-in-law is the village women's director.
The family has two sons, one works at the commune’s grain station and the other is a teacher at school.
Their youngest daughter also married into the commune and now works in the supply and marketing cooperative.
The second son works for the government in the city and is an eighth-level worker!
Today's level eight workers are so awesome. Just the group of apprentices under them receive a lot of tributes every year.
I heard that his son and daughter work in the same unit as him and are both formal employees.
Although his wife Li Dahua is a butcher and her job is a bit tiring, she still earns a lot every year!
Especially now that it’s the end of the year, which village doesn’t slaughter the New Year pig? It’s said that the waiting line is so long that it lasts until the first month of next year.
The money they make is really enviable.
Not to mention the fourth family. Both husband and wife are cadres in the army, and even the commune secretary has to give them some face when they meet them.
You tell me, if you marry a girl like this, how bad can your life be?
Don't say they are realistic. Nowadays, who would not consider these things when marrying off a daughter?
Of course, they are not completely without self-awareness. For example, they dare not think about the fact that their sons do not have a proper job or are not good-looking.
Because they themselves feel that their sons are not worthy.
"Zhiyi, is this your niece?"
"hold head high……"
Qiao Zhiyi was not interested and obviously didn't want to talk about this.
"Damin, are all the people here? If so, let's go quickly."
"Okay, uncle."
Damin looked back to make sure that everyone was there, then quickly started the tractor. He saw clearly how vicious his uncle's eyes were just now.
The tractor rumbled towards the village. The noise was so loud that it was impossible to have a conversation. Even talking face to face required shouting. The ladies could only give up their thoughts for the time being.
Half an hour later, the tractor arrived at the entrance of the village, and Qiao Zhiyi pointed to the towering tree not far away.
"Qiao Qiao, do you still remember this big banyan tree?"
If it was something else, Lin Siqiao might not be able to remember it for a while. After all, the last time the original body came back was in a hurry, and the whole family had dinner at his second uncle's house.
Therefore, Lin Siqiao only has memories of everything in the countryside before he was five years old.
But there was a huge banyan tree at the entrance of the village where my grandmother lived, and I still remember this.
"Uncle, is there still a stone mill here?"
"Yeah, that's right."
Qiao Zhiyi wanted to say something when he saw from a distance his father and mother supporting each other and running towards him.
