The car was driving slowly on the country road. From time to time, you could see bicycles passing by on both sides, and occasionally a tractor passing by.
"I haven't been back for three years, and it's changed so much here," Wang Meizhen sighed, looking outside. When they left, this road was still gravel, and when it rained, it was difficult for people to walk, even oxcarts could hardly pass.
"Come back in two years and the changes will be even greater. Look at the many villages we've been on, they've built buildings." Zhan Dafeng looked at Shangxin Village getting closer and closer, with a hint of anticipation on his face. I wonder if Shangxin Village has changed?
Mrs. Liu was basking in the sun with a few other women at the door. With nothing to do during the Lunar New Year holiday, they would gather after dinner to play cards, visit friends, bask in the sun, and chat.
"Wang Meizhen's family hasn't been back for three years, right?" Sister Li, who was wearing a flowery cotton jacket, spat out the melon seed shell in her mouth, put another melon seed in her mouth, and said while chewing it.
"This year marks the third year. Zhan Dafeng and Wang Meizhen are so lucky. Their three sons are all so successful," said Mrs. Liu with envy. She also gave birth to three sons, and she wondered if she would have the same luck as Wang Meizhen.
"Otherwise, how could they enjoy themselves abroad? Look at us, let alone going abroad, we have never even left Licheng." Zhang's wife shook her head.
"People can't be compared with each other, otherwise they will be angry to death. For us, as long as we are healthy, it is a blessing." Sister Li shook her head and sighed.
"It's been three years since I last came back. It seems that the Zhan family will never come back." The Zhang family's daughter-in-law put the last melon seed in her hand into her mouth, and then reached out to grab a handful of melon seeds.
"I wouldn't come back either. I have good food and things to do abroad. Who wants to come back and live a hard life?" Mrs. Liu forcefully spat out the sunflower seed shells from her mouth, snorted, and stood up. Her biggest regret was not being able to match Su Jinyue with her cousin. Otherwise, she might have been the one enjoying life abroad. Wasn't the Zhan family's success today thanks to Su Jinyue?
Sister Li saw two cars driving into the village and pointed at them, saying, "Look, whose relatives are those?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw two cars slowly driving towards them.
"He's probably a relative of the village chief."
"The person driving the car seems to be the boss of the Zhan family."
"It seems to be true. Isn't the person sitting next to him Dr. Su? The Zhan family is back."
Su Jinyue also saw Mrs. Liu and her group, "Mom, it's Mrs. Liu and her group."
When Wang Meizhen heard this, a happy smile immediately appeared on her face, "Yihan, stop the car for a moment, I'll get off and chat with everyone." She hadn't seen Mrs. Liu and the others for more than three years, and she missed them very much.
Zhan Yihan nodded and stopped the car.
"You guys go back first. I'll be back after chatting with everyone for a while." Wang Meizhen pushed open the car door, got out and walked towards Liu Dasao and her group.
"Is that Meizhen? How did she become so young?"
"It looks a bit like that."
"Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Zhang, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been lately?" Wang Meizhen said with a smile as she greeted Mrs. Liu and the other two. Returning to Shangxin Village, she felt a sense of familiarity.
"Are you really Meizhen? How did you become so young? We thought we had the wrong person."
"Is Feng Shui abroad really that nourishing? People would believe you if you said you were thirty years old."
"Are the living conditions there good? Will you go back there again this time?"
Wang Meizhen smiled and nodded, "We will come back to stay for a few days, visit relatives and then go back soon." She has now become accustomed to life in Tianyue Continent, where she practices cultivation every day and takes Dabao and Erbao for strolls around, living an extremely comfortable life.
"Meizhen, I really envy you. You can go abroad and see different things. Unlike us, we haven't even been out of Licheng."
"That's right. I don't want to go abroad anymore. If I could go to Beijing one day, I would be satisfied."
"This is all thanks to Meizhen's son being successful and marrying a good daughter-in-law. I wonder if we will have the same fate in the future."
Wang Meizhen smiled and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't chat with you any more." She used to get along well with them, but now when she listens to their words, she always feels that there is a sting in their words. She doesn't know if she has changed, or they have changed.
"Meizhen, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Tell us what it's like abroad." Mrs. Liu grabbed Wang Meizhen's arm and pressed her on the chair.
"Yes, tell us about it." Sister Li and Zhang's wife looked at Wang Meizhen with a smile, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.
