Jiang Li received a call from her husband and learned that the children were all coming back, and the old house suddenly became busy.
Although the old house is very large, there are so many children in the Jiang family, so arrangements have to be made early.
Jiang Haoyu drove the children by bus for two days and finally entered the village two days later when the sun was setting.
When the old people in the village saw a bus coming into the village, they all stretched their necks curiously.
Seeing the bus heading directly to Jiang's house, he suddenly seemed to know something.
"I heard that the Jiang family's relatives are coming back soon. Do you think the people in this car are them?"
"Really? Who told you that?"
"The Jiang family's children said so. Those children played in the village all day long. Our children played with them, so they naturally knew."
"I just don't know which member of the Jiang family is coming back this time."
"Since the second branch of the Jiang family left, they haven't returned for many years."
"Not really. I heard that Jiang Ji's second family went to Kyoto and started to develop there. They seem to have made a lot of money."
"Unlike us peasants, who can do nothing but farming."
"Tsk, look how jealous you are. What's wrong with us farming? The city people shouldn't eat the food we grow."
"Life is much better now than before. My family has more people and we have been allocated more land. We have also built a brick house in recent years. I am very content."
"Once my son gets married, I will take care of my grandchildren at home. I don't want to live too comfortably."
"Yes, yes, that's all you can do. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to go take a look at the Jiang family."
"Hey, wait for me, I'll go too."
The bus stopped at the door of the old house. Jiang Li opened the yard of the old house as soon as he heard the sound.
Seeing the bus door open and the children jumping out one by one, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Hey, you all are here?"
Jiang Xichen took the lead in hugging her aunt's arm and said coquettishly, "Aunt, I miss you so much."
Jiang Li touched Chenchen's head and said, "Aunt misses you too."
Mumu squeezed out of the crowd, hugged her mother's slender waist, and said coquettishly: "Mom, I miss you so much."
"Good boy, mommy misses you too."
At this time, the Pingping brothers who heard the voice also ran over, "You are finally here, we hunted a lot of game today, and we will barbecue for you tonight."
When Mumu heard her eldest brother's voice, she let go of her mother's hand and ran towards her brother.
"Wow, is this a pheasant? So beautiful."
“And this rabbit is so cute.”
Pingping saw that his sister liked it, so he smiled and said, "There are little rabbits in the basket. I'll keep them for you to play with later. These big ones will be a snack for dinner."
Mumu pouted, "The rabbit is so cute, how can I eat it?"
An An rolled her eyes, "If you can't bear it, then watch us eat it tonight. The braised rabbit head is so delicious."
Hearing the second brother speak, Mumu glared at him and said, "Humph, the second brother always bullies us."
"Okay, okay, let's go into the yard and talk."
"You must have been very hot on the way. Go in and take a shower to cool down."
Meng Wenyao walked at the back and said to her second sister-in-law and fifth brother's wife, "Let's take their luggage in. The driver still needs to go back."
Li Qing nodded, "Well, we can do it."
Jiang Jiancheng lit a cigarette for the driver and said a few words. After taking down all the things, the other party drove away.
Seeing that the man left like that, Jiang Li asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to stay and have a meal before you leave?"
Jiang Jiancheng replied: "No, he will go to the town to rest and return tomorrow morning."
"Where are my aunt's family and my third uncle? Aren't they home?"
Jiang Li replied: "I'm at home, I think I'll be here soon."
"I've been weeding the fields lately, so I've been a bit busy."
"But Third Brother, why did you come back when you have time?"
Jiang Jiancheng smiled and said, "The company hasn't been very busy recently, so I'll give myself a break."
"It just so happens that your sister-in-law and nephew are out for some relaxation."
Jiang Li: "Yes, the Northeast is cooler in the summer, not as hot as Kyoto."
"It's a good opportunity for the kids to come back and spend time with their cousins."
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up. I don't know who among us brothers will be the first to become grandparents."
Jiang Jiancheng smiled warmly and said, "It must be my eldest cousin. After all, Ruoming is already an adult, and he might get married after graduating from college."
Jiang Li: "It's hard to say. Nowadays, children all have their own dreams. It's not necessarily the oldest one who will get married first."
"Yeah, let's go, I'm so hot, I'm going to take a shower first."
Some of the children came to the old house when they were young, while others have never been there since they were born.
The children who had never been here felt very curious when they saw such an old house, but there was no disgust in their eyes.
The children in the Jiang family have received a good education, and apart from being naughty occasionally, none of them have grown into bad people.
Jiang Jiancheng's son Jiang Ruohua looked around, walked into the bedroom and looked at the earthen kang in the room, and asked curiously: "Is this the kang that Daddy mentioned? How do you make a fire with it?"
"Won't people get roasted if they sleep on it?"
Jiang Ruoyan heard what his brother said and laughed: "Why are you so funny? If it can be roasted, who would dare to sleep on it?"
"See this hole? This is where the fire is."
"But it's summer now, so there's no need to burn fire on this kang."
Jiang Ruohua looked at the dark cave entrance, wondering what she was thinking.
Then he looked at the black and white photos on the wall.
"Is that kind old lady your great-grandmother?"
Hearing his words, several boys also looked at the photos on the wall.
"Yes, that's my great-grandmother, my father's grandmother. She was kind and gentle, but we will never see her again. She has reunited with my grandfather."
"Ruohua, let's go take a shower. If you have anything to ask, we can talk later."
Jiang Ruohua nodded, "Okay, let's go take a shower."
Jiang Li knew that the children were coming back, so she had prepared a lot of basins at home, fearing that the children would not have enough water for a bath.
Wang Sufen came back from the fields and saw that the children had all arrived. She said with a smile, "Oh, you are so big now. Do you miss your grandma?"
The children who knew Wang Sufen all said to their great-grandmother in a sweet voice, "Hello, great-grandmother. We missed you."
"Oh, you all look so good, you are worthy of being the children of our Jiang family."
"Grandma will get you some snacks. Xiaojing, you can play with your brothers and sisters first."
As the second brother, Jiang Ruojing looked at the bunch of carrot heads and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll take them to play."
Seeing that some of his brothers and sisters didn't recognize him, Jiang Xichen introduced him, "This is my second brother from my uncle's family, Jiang Ruojing. You should call him second brother."
