Ye Beiping thought for a moment and decided to go find a second-hand loudspeaker first, as he would need it when setting up his stall later.
at the same time.
On the way to Pingba Village, Su Xinyi, Su Qingwen, Min Yuehua, and Su Xinwan, a family of four, rode in a donkey cart.
Originally, Su Qingwen wanted Su Xinwan not to come along, since she had to go to school. But Min Yuehua said that if Su Xinyi changed her mind halfway through, Su Xinwan could help persuade her, and she directly asked the school for leave.
This really frustrated Su Xinwan.
Min Yuehua frowned in disgust: "It's so hot, and it smells terrible too."
Su Xinwan shared the same feeling; having grown up in Hangzhou, she had never experienced anything like this before.
By the time we arrived in town by long-distance bus, it was already quite late.
If Su Qingwen hadn't said that it was difficult to travel to the countryside late at night, Min Yuehua would have already run to Ye Beiping's house in the middle of the night.
At this moment, Su Xinwan grabbed Su Xinyi's hand, frowned, and whispered, "Sister, is this where you went to work in the countryside?"
"Uh-huh."
As memories flooded back, Su Xinyi was filled with emotion.
Every moment of her three years in Pingba Village flashed through her mind.
Of the four family members, only Su Xinyi and Min Yuehua had been here before. This was Su Qingwen's first time visiting as well. Looking around, he sighed, "I didn't expect this place to be so impoverished, there aren't even any buses."
Upon hearing this, Su Xinyi gave a bleak smile.
There are not only no buses from Pingba Village to the town, but many things that are available in Hangzhou are also not available here.
The person leading the donkey cart overheard the family's conversation and became somewhat displeased.
It seems these people look down on rural people. If it weren't for making some money, he really wouldn't be willing to do it.
After a bumpy ride of more than ten minutes, the donkey cart finally arrived at the entrance of Pingba Village.
Everyone's gone to the fields to work at this time.
Because Su Xinyi was pregnant, Su Qingwen and the others didn't let her carry anything.
In the familiar village, after getting off the donkey cart, she led Su Qingwen and the others toward Ye Beiping's house.
I also ran into some acquaintances during the trip, and we greeted each other with smiles.
"Isn't this the educated youth's wife that guy from Beiping married?"
"Yes, why are you back?"
"Is that kid from Beiping back too? Hurry up and tell Xiaoxin and her daughter."
...
The people they met all had accents, which Su Qingwen and the others couldn't quite understand, but Su Xinyi did.
I've been here for three years, after all.
Arriving at the entrance of Ye Beiping's courtyard, Su Xinyi pushed open the gate with practiced ease.
"Dad, Mom, let's wait here for a while."
"wait?"
Min Yuehua frowned: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and find someone. We need to get back to Hangzhou to save your brother after we find out what's going on."
Upon hearing this, Su Xinyi opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Su Qingwen scolded, "What's the rush? When you ask someone for a favor, you should act like one. Don't make us look like we have no manners at all."
"But......"
Seeing that Min Yuehua was about to retort, Su Qingwen frowned and said, "This is your first time visiting your in-laws' home. Don't they have anything to do? Is your son the most important person?"
Although he felt that Pingba Village was impoverished, Su Qingwen was still reasonable.
Every household is busy with farm work; if farmers don't cultivate the land, what will they eat next year?
Min Yuehua was so scolded that she couldn't speak. She could only purse her lips, frown, and find a small stool to sit down.
Su Qingwen, who was beside him, also found a clean place to put the things he had brought.
Only the two sisters, Su Xinyi and Su Xinwan, stood by, watching their parents argue.
Soon, two figures rushed over from outside the courtyard.
It was Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin who, upon hearing that Ye Beiping had returned, immediately dropped their hoes and ran home.
When they entered the courtyard and saw that everyone there was a stranger, the mother and daughter were stunned.
Only when she saw Su Xinyi did Tao Qiuyan grin and say, "Xinyi, why are you back? Where's Beiping? Why didn't he come back with you?"
As she spoke, she asked Ye Xiaoxin to go find a stool.
"You're pregnant, how can you stand up? Xiaoxin, quickly go find a stool."
Seeing that the mother and daughter were very concerned about Su Xinyi, Su Qingwen nodded silently.
It's immediately obvious that Ye Beiping's mother and sister are simple, honest country folk, and they don't have the arrogance often associated with country people. They also show great care for Su Xinyi.
This kind of concern cannot be faked.
Su Xinyi was a little embarrassed: "Auntie, sister, please don't bother. I..."
When she looked at Min Yuehua and Su Qingwen, she hesitated.
However, she still mustered up her courage and said, "Let me introduce you. This is my mother, Min Yuehua. You've met her before..."
"Yes, yes, I've met my mother-in-law." Tao Qiuyan was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and smiled warmly, even calling to Ye Xiaoxin, "Xiaoxin, go and make some tea."
Su Xinyi then introduced, "This is my father, Su Qingwen, and my younger sister, Su Xinwan."
"Oh, my father-in-law is here too." Tao Qiuyan awkwardly wiped her hands on her clothes, suddenly feeling uneasy. Her tone became a little unnatural, and she lowered her voice when she looked at Su Xinwan: "Sister."
Forehead......
Everyone present was stunned for a moment.
Su Xinwan's eyes widened in surprise.
Tao Qiuyan immediately realized what was going on and explained with a smile, "Xinyi's younger sister, Xinyi's younger sister."
Su Xinyi agreed and introduced Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin as well.
After a brief introduction, the two sides sat down.
