There are no secrets in the village.
25 years ago, Uncle Muhei took away two children, Axi and Amu.
Amu was chosen as the candidate for the clan leader and was raised by the old clan leader and Uncle Muhei.
Ah Xi was sent away far away.
This is known to everyone in the village.
It was the first time for people to come to the Home website, and everyone had some hope, hoping that they would really be able to find Ah Xi one day.
The first time Ye Wan and He Sichen came here, they pretended to be tourists.
Uncle Sarah was afraid that his wife would be sad so he didn't tell her, but he let something out when he was drinking tea with Uncle Buku.
When the two men appeared again yesterday, Amu knew that they came to get acquainted with the family last time. He was afraid that Uncle Sarah's family had already forgotten about their eldest son, or that the family did not welcome him.
During the past six months since he returned, Ye Wan and the Go Home website might have found out how Ah Xi was lost, whether Uncle Sarah and his family had tried to find Ah Xi over the years, and so on.
That's why Ah Xi was sent back.
"Xiao Wan, thank you!"
Amu raised his wine bowl towards Ye Wan.
Bang! They clinked their glasses together, and Ye Wan smiled. However, when he looked down and saw the full bowl of wine, he was startled.
Given her ability to drink easily after just one glass of alcohol, I wonder if she can hold out until the end of this heartwarming welcome party.
It would be a pity if I fell asleep at this point.
But when he brought the bowl to his mouth, Ye Wan's eyes lit up.
It was like the loquat drink she had made by mashing a few loquats and adding water to it in Wufeng Mountain. It had a rich fruity aroma and almost no smell of alcohol.
After finishing a bowl, Ye Wan still felt unsatisfied.
On the side, Ah Xiu poured another bowl for Ye Wan, "Sister Wan, this is the loquat water made by my mother. It won't make you drunk. If you like it, drink more."
When she looked up again, she saw Aunt Sarah smiling and nodding at her, her eyes full of gratitude.
Ye Wan picked up the bowl and said, "Thank you, Mom!"
Aunt Sarah was stunned for a moment.
Then a bright smile burst into his eyes.
"Father, Mother..."
He Sichen picked up the bowl and toasted the two of them, "Your Ah Xi is back, and today is the day for our family to reunite. This glass of wine, my brothers and sisters and I toast to you, and we will honor you well in the future!"
After hearing the words "brother and sister", A Xiu and A Gui stood up and picked up their wine bowls.
At the top, the Sarah couple's faces had a few more wrinkles when they smiled.
The couple looked at each other, and Aunt Sarah looked at Ye Wan, "Xiao Wan, since you call me grandma, from now on we are a family, let's have a drink together."
"good!"
Ye Wan did not shy away and stood up confidently. The family of six clinked their glasses together.
After we sat down, Aunt Sarah warmly invited everyone to have dinner.
Eighteen Bowls, as the name suggests, the table is filled with bowls of all sizes.
Cold dishes and hot dishes.
Meat and vegetarian dishes.
It’s delicious and has good color, aroma and taste.
The men drank and played finger-guessing games.
The women drank soup, water and homemade fruit drinks, then talked about the handsome Ah Xi and the beautiful Xiao Wan, and then envied Sarah's family for not only finding their son who had been lost for 25 years, but also picking up a fairy-like daughter for free.
When the steaming buns with small animal patterns and red dots were brought up, the children asked for a tiger and a rabbit, and the big banyan tree was filled with laughter.
The banquet lasted from noon to evening.
As night fell, the lights on the banyan tree lit up.
The bonfire in the center of the valley was also lit.
The firelight and lights complemented each other, illuminating everyone's joyful faces.
