The Spring Festival is approaching, and the village is more lively than usual. Today is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the day after tomorrow is the first day of the new year. At this time, almost everyone in the village, whether they should or shouldn't, has returned.
During the Chinese New Year, many people come back to enjoy the fun and reunion. There are many people in the village at this time. Everyone gets together to play cards, brag, and drink. Throughout the year, only these few days can people have such a happy time.
Especially in rural areas, the relationship between neighbors is good. Many people grew up together, knew each other well, and grew up together. When they grow up, they only get together once a year, and the opportunity is quite rare.
There are a lot of people in front of Yun Heng's house right now. The more things happen in a place, the more people there will be.
Some people who didn't know what was going on came over and asked the people around them: "Whose family is getting married and blocking the new car here?"
The New Year is approaching, and many people are getting married. Some people in the village stop new cars to ask for candy, and asking for cigarettes is also a pastime.
People in some places are really mean. In the past, people would ask for cigarettes one by one, but now they ask for them in boxes. It's not so bad in Guojia Village. Many people just do it for fun.
"I don't know if he's going to get married, but it will be soon."
Someone laughed and said, "Tian Xuege's Hengheng brought his girlfriend home today. Aren't you all gathered here to watch the fun?"
In the countryside, many people address each other based on the family members. Some addresses are just nicknames, like Yun Heng. His family members call him Heng Heng. From childhood to adulthood, most villagers, young and old, call him that, and gradually they get used to it.
Not to mention elders, even peers and childhood friends, many of them call each other that way, and some even give them nicknames and call them that for the rest of their lives.
So in Murakami, when many people talk about Yunheng, some call him Yunheng, and some call him Hengheng. Just like Guo Youtang, they have long been used to calling him that, and there is no such thing as overestimating the older and younger ones.
"Hey, Hengheng brought his girlfriend back?"
Many people were delighted when they heard the news.
If people from the same village get married, almost all the villagers will help. When one family celebrates a happy event, it is almost a happy event for the whole village.
Guojia Village is not big. Those who should have gotten married have gotten married in recent years, and those who are not married have not found wives yet. There has not been a wedding in the village for more than a year. When they heard that Yun Heng came back with his girlfriend, most people were happy and curious.
"I heard that Yun Heng's girlfriend is very beautiful and her family is rich."
Not far away, several people of the same age as Yun Heng, with a similar age difference, also gathered together to discuss.
Some of them were Yun Heng’s classmates from elementary school to junior high school, some dropped out after graduating from junior high school, some dropped out after graduating from high school, and some were admitted to universities, but they were rarely seen later.
There are six or seven people, many of them are married, and some of them have children who are about to start elementary school.
"Yes, he came back once in September, but he didn't stay home for long. I heard he drove a Porsche."
Several people were smoking and discussing.
"Porsche?"
"Oh my god, so awesome?"
"I heard from my mom that Yun Heng is doing quite well in Xihua City. He even got Uncle Tang to go to Xihua City. He even went to a big hospital for further studies. Yun Heng's teachers are pretty awesome. They're professors, doctoral supervisors, and they're big names in the industry."
"Tenured professor, doctoral supervisor, this is pretty impressive."
Those who have been to university know better.
"It seems that Yun Heng is the one who is doing the best among our group."
Someone said with a smile.
"Yun Heng was smart and good at studying when he was young. He is also a graduate student. He will definitely do well."
"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Yun Heng for several years."
"Yes, we used to steal grapes together when we were little, and Yun Heng always ran the fastest."
A group of people who grew up together were talking about Yun Heng at this moment. There was not much jealousy or envy in their eyes. Instead, they started to reminisce while chatting.
Most of Murakami's peers have very good relationships with each other. Even if they haven't seen each other for several years, there is no sense of unfamiliarity. There are too many childhood memories.
"I'm back. Porsche Cayenne. Is this the car?"
As a few people were talking, they saw a Porsche slowly entering the village in the distance, and the speed of the car slowed down after entering the village.
"That should be the case. Apart from Yun Heng, I haven't heard of anyone around here who can afford this car."
In recent years, the conditions in the rural areas have improved a lot, and more people in the village can afford to buy cars. There are people driving BMWs and Audis around Guojia Village, but there are almost no people driving Porsches and Cayennes.
Several of them were around 27 or 28 years old and knew a little bit about cars.
Yun Heng drove the car and stopped it in front of his house. When he got out of the car, people next to him greeted him with a smile.
"Yeah, Hengheng is back."
"Hengheng hasn't celebrated the New Year at home for several years."
"Hello, Auntie!"
"Hello, uncle!"
Yun Heng got out of the car and greeted them hurriedly. On the other side, Michelle Lin also got out from the passenger seat.
"Hengheng, why did you bring a girl back with you? Why didn't you introduce her to everyone?"
"This is my girlfriend, Micheline."
Yun Heng introduced them to everyone with a smile, and also to Michelle Lin: "This is Aunt So-and-so, that's Uncle So-and-so, and that's Uncle So-and-so..."
The whole village is like one family. When you go back to the village, you have to greet everyone you meet. It is not like the residential areas in the city where everyone doesn’t know each other very well and is not very familiar with each other. It doesn’t matter if you say hello when you meet someone or not. It is normal not to have said a word to someone after living there for more than ten years. People usually talk because someone’s house is too noisy.
"Brother, Sister Linlin."
Yun Yu was waiting at the door and hurried forward. Yun Tianxue and Zhou Yue'e also came out.
