A few minutes later, two taxis arrived at the entrance of the village.
Six people got off the bus. He Wanqing paid the fare and looked at Grandpa He and the other three who were touching things here and there, and her eyes became moist.
The old saying is indeed true. No matter how good life is outside, hometown is the place people want to return to the most.
Just as he finished speaking, a group of children ran out from the village.
"Who are you? Who are you looking for in our village???"
Looking at the dozen or so children around ten years old, the six of them instantly remembered the words in the poem, and then thought about how it was indeed very appropriate for their current situation.
After leaving for 20 years, when they came back, the children in the village asked them who they were looking for.
"Little friends, we are from this village. Whose families are you from? Are the adults in your families at home???"
Grandpa He looked at the children in the village, and when he thought of the time when he left, his eyes became red. He bent down and kindly asked the energetic little boy beside him.
“Grandpa, you said you are from our village, then why haven’t we seen you before? And of course we are our own family.
My parents are all at home, so don’t try to pretend to be pitiful and kidnap us. Be careful, we will yell and won’t let you leave. ”
The child's words made the six people laugh. Just as they were about to speak again, they heard: "It's Uncle Erniu, right? Why didn't you tell us in advance that you were back so that we could help you clean up the house."
Hearing this, the six people turned to look at the person who spoke. After finding out it was He Shubai, several of them smiled and replied:
"Shubai, we just came back to take a look and won't stay for a few days. There's no need to go to the trouble of asking you to help clean up."
"That's right. Our house was newly built a few years ago and it's not dirty. We can just clean it up and move in."
A few years ago, when He Jiadong and his colleagues moved their company to Fengshan City, they came back and asked someone to rebuild their original home.
So what Grandma He said about not having to tidy up the new house was right. After all, every year when He Jiadong and his friends come here for meetings, they will come to tidy up the house and each family will stay for a few days, for fear that the house will be ruined if no one lives there.
"Uncle, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you? Is that child from your family?!"
Hearing the child who had just spoken call him great-grandfather, He Wanqing and Chen Ping looked at each other and instantly realized that this was the grandson of his son.
"Wanqing, you've been away for so many years and finally came back to visit me. This is your brother Guoan's eldest grandson next to me."
When He Shubai found out that He Wanqing was there too, he was even more excited than when he saw Grandpa He and the others.
Not only is He Wanqing now a professor at Peking University, but the man is also the youngest major general. This couple can be seen on TV every year.
"Yes, Brother Guoan's grandson has grown up so big. Congratulations to you, uncle." While talking, several people walked towards home.
When entering the village, I collided with several young men and an old woman.
Looking at the people opposite, He Wanqing hadn't spoken yet, while listening to the young man opposite her say: "Mom, mom, are you back to take me?"
The word "Mom" shocked He Wanqing and the others. She frowned and looked at He Shubai, asking with her eyes who this big family was.
It was because she had been away for too long that she couldn't recognize who was standing opposite her.
When He Shubai heard this, he shouted loudly without waiting for He Wanqing to speak: "He Cao, take your crazy son and daughter to work quickly.
Don't forget, this is your last chance this year. If you don't work hard, I think there's someone else working in the greenhouse nearby who wants you. ”
He Shubai's words "He Cao" made He Wanqing and others stunned.
They never imagined that the woman in front of them, who looked older than He's mother, would be the He Cao who had always been trying to pick on He Wanqing and scheme against her.
"Uncle, you said she was He Cao, are you sure you didn't call the wrong person? Isn't she only in her early forties?
But this person said she was over sixty and too young. She stood in front of my breasts and looked bigger than them. ”
He Wanqing pointed at He Cao, then at Grandma He. Her face was full of disbelief, and when He Cao heard that she was He Wanqing, he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Wanqing, she is the only He Cao in our village, and your uncle is at home and has not gone out, so how could I have made a mistake?
Okay, you still have to clean up the house, so go back quickly. I’ll take care of it and come visit you later. "After saying that, he said a few more words to Grandpa He and strode towards He Cao.
He Cao looked at He Wanqing, who was glamorous and looked ageless at all. The envy and hatred in her eyes almost swallowed her up.
Fortunately, she managed to hold back and said nothing in the end. She listened silently to He Shubai's lecture, her eyes following He Wanqing's figure.
After returning to the doorstep, He Wanqing chatted briefly with the neighbors on both sides, then took out her key, opened the door, and went in to clean up the house.
While she and Shen Ping were cleaning the house, Grandma He and Grandma Shen were asking the aunts and sisters in the village about He Cao.
By the time the two of them had cleaned the house and taken out the quilts to dry in the yard, Grandma He and her friends came back.
As soon as they entered the door, several people told He Cao everything that had happened over the years.
After their family left, He Cao's eldest son, born on the farm, developed mental problems, and a few years later, his second daughter also developed mental problems.
They insisted that He Cao was not their biological mother, but someone who stole their biological mother, and that their biological mother should be her, He Wanqing.
Fortunately, everyone in the village knew what happened back then, so no one believed what the brother and sister said and they all thought they were crazy.
But He Cao and Xu Weijun believed it, especially Xu Weijun. After learning that He Cao had given birth to a child that was not hers, he beat her three times a day, completely according to meal times.
He Cao was responsible for all the Xu family's affairs, whether it was clean work, work in the fields, or dirty work at home. If she dared to resist, the two children she gave birth to would take the lead in beating her.
Later, the college entrance examination was opened to educated youth returning to the city, and He Cao went to sign up. In the end, he was not successful because he had too many stains on his record, and he was beaten again.
Especially the children she gave birth to. After Xu Weijun could no longer beat them, they took over and were beaten three times a day without missing a single meal.
Especially when it came to making money, everyone in the Xu family seemed to have a tacit understanding and handed it over to He Cao. If they didn't make enough money every day, they would be beaten twice when they got home.
It is said that for a period of time, He Cao went to the city to engage in the flesh trade, but because he was too old and his business was not good, he was discovered again, so he was brought back by Xu Weijun and his sons and was almost beaten to death.
It was also from that time that He Cao began to age faster every day, until now.
He Cao's children are also very arrogant. The two older ones scold the other younger ones and call them bastards, and then they scold He Cao. Anyway, the Xu family is a mess now, and it is impossible to help them.
