The next morning, Chen Cixiu waited for Jiang Yu at the door.
The couplets he wrote yesterday are already pasted on their small door.
Jiang Yu has packed up and is going back to her hometown today.
They were supposed to go back tomorrow, but this morning, Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu suddenly received a message from Professor Wu.
They already went back to their hometown yesterday, so they don't need to go looking for them.
The moment Jiang Yu saw the news in the morning, she immediately woke up Chen Cixiu.
After reading the message, the young couple immediately knew that their parents had gone home early to clean the house.
Jiang Yu quickly replied, "Honey, let's go back today."
It's good that we won't be stuck in traffic when we get back now. If we were two days later, we would definitely be stuck in traffic. If we were two days later, it wouldn't just be a traffic jam, we might not even be able to get home by the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Chen Cixiu nodded and got up without saying a word to move the New Year's goods to the car. Because he was worried that the car might not be able to fit them all, Jiang Yu asked the housekeeper to drive a Land Rover from home.
The housekeeper came over to help move the New Year's goods into the car.
After the move was completed, the housekeeper left. Chen Cixiu took a shower, put on some clothes, and then stood at the door waiting for Jiang Yu.
Sitting in the car, he looked at his wife and asked, "Are you ready?"
Jiang Yu nodded, but then asked, "Honey, how does it feel to sit in the car for such a long time?"
"Hmm... I experienced it today."
Chen Cixiu was a little embarrassed; it took him almost ten hours to get home, which was frightening to hear.
But there's no other way; this is how you have to go back to your home.
"If we go home for the Chinese New Year again, we'll take the high-speed rail. It only takes four or five hours once we get there."
He resigned from his post to pursue Taoism.
"good."
Chen Cixiu started the car; the journey ahead would be particularly boring.
Fortunately, Jiang Yu bought a lot of New Year's goods, so he was able to eat snacks and watch TV in the car to pass the time.
Chenjia Village.
The reason why Chen Cixiu's hometown is called this is because everyone in this village has the surname Chen.
This village has existed for over a hundred years. During the War of Resistance against Japan, Chenjia Village produced many martyrs, and there is still a martyrs' cemetery in the town.
"Uncle, Aunt, we've come to help."
Professor Chen and Professor Wu arrived at their hometown in the early hours of the morning. The bed sheets and blankets in the house had already been cleaned up by Professor Chen's younger brother and sister-in-law.
So I can sleep through the night.
Since they only came back a day early, they couldn't do anything else.
But early in the morning, before they even went to offer their thanks, Professor Chen and Professor Wu heard the children laughing and playing.
"Why are you here?"
Professor Chen and Professor Wu asked with smiles.
“My parents said that this is my sister-in-law’s first time visiting our home, so we’re coming over to help with the big cleaning.”
"Oh, that's a good girl. Shall we do a big clean together?"
"good."
Professor Chen and Professor Wu laughed.
The Chen family already has many children—some in university, some in high school, and some in junior high. Professor Chen himself has three brothers, not to mention the children of his uncles and cousins.
There are about ten children in total.
There are three or four people in the same age group as Chen Cixiu.
In the family, only Professor Chen and Professor Wu had a child named Chen Cixiu.
My younger brother's and my cousins' families all have at least three children.
But because the Chen families lived very close together, like neighbors, it was naturally a lively place.
With the children's help, the house was not only lively, but the work was also done very quickly, especially the older children, who were very efficient.
Meanwhile, Chen Cixiu and Jiang Yu were still on the highway.
Jiang Yu felt sorry for Chen Cixiu driving for too long, so she took over driving herself at a service area.
"Honey, do you think the house will already be cleaned when we get home?"
Jiang Yu asked with some curiosity.
"Yes, that's possible. Those who are supposed to be on holiday have already gone home. Didn't they go back a couple of days ago? Since Mom and Dad don't want you to be so tired, they're probably helping out at my house right now."
Chen Cixiu said.
"I was thinking of going over there to do a big clean-up with my parents."
Jiang Yu seemed a little disappointed.
Chen Cixiu smiled and said, "I think this is fine. Why would you start working as soon as you arrive?"
"Aren't you the same?"
Jiang Yu thought back to when Chen Cixiu first came to her house, wasn't he also helping out?
Chen Cixiu immediately said, "It's different. Actually, I have my own selfish reasons, because this way I can please the elders. But you're different. They all like you so much when you're standing there."
"I don't agree with that. I think we should all be the same. Besides, my parents are so good to me. If I could do a big clean-up with them, I would be happy to."
Jiang Yu glanced at him as she drove, then turned her attention back to the road.
"It's okay, there will be opportunities, but I don't know how many opportunities there will be."
Chen Cixiu said with a smile.
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang Yu asked, puzzled.
"We discussed last year that we would spend the Spring Festival in a different place this year, not in our hometown. It was unanimously approved, but because I've started a family, I'll go home for the Spring Festival this year."
After Chen Cixiu finished speaking, Jiang Yu nodded.
The young couple chatted casually, thankfully they had brought enough water.
We drove from morning until evening to reach Chenjia Village.
Chen Cixiu opened two-thirds of the meeting, and Jiang Yu opened one-third.
They didn't arrive until 10 p.m. because Chen Cixiu felt it was too tiring and rested at a service area for a while before continuing their journey.
In this way, driving will not be too tiring.
When we arrived at the village entrance, Professor Chen and Professor Wu were already waiting.
Jiang Yu saw them from afar: "Honey, it's Mom and Dad."
Chen Cixiu stepped on the brake and rolled down the car window. "Mom and Dad, what are you doing here?"
The weather back home was noticeably warmer than in the city, so both Professor Chen and Professor Wu came out wearing just a coat.
"We're just worried you might drive over there. The road over there is already blocked off."
Professor Chen said.
"Let's go then."
Chen Cixiu said.
He originally planned to drive straight there, because the village sign was just ahead, and the road led directly to his house.
This is the neighboring village; you have to take a detour to get there.
Professor Chen and Professor Wu drove in front, with Chen Cixiu following behind, until they arrived at the front door of the house, where the car was parked in the garage.
When Professor Wu saw Jiang Yu get out of the car, he immediately went over, took her hand, and said, "You must be tired."
"Mom, I'm not tired."
Jiang Yu said with a smile, "He drove the whole way, so I wasn't tired."
"It's his duty to drive."
Chen Cixiu smiled. Why doesn't Professor Wu feel like a patient now?
That's such a double standard.
