Chapter 569, Adaptation
The housekeeper and the servants were standing guard outside.
Hearing the laughter from the host's house, they all curled up the corners of their mouths unconsciously.
After they recognized each other, Xiaoyu was also shocked by Xiaobai's story.
But after the shock he accepted it.
Xiaobai has grown up with the three brothers since they were young, and the feelings they have for each other cannot be expressed in a few words.
With the addition of Xiaobai and Jiaolong, the main courtyard of the He family became lively.
Kyoto has changed a lot, and Xiaoyu also told them some things about Kyoto.
The old men are all old, and there are only two of them alive now.
The next day, He Anze and Mei Xue personally visited several surviving old men.
The others followed Hua and Xiaoyu and split into two groups, each taking action on their own.
Although the spiritual energy here is not as good as that in the world of cultivation, modern times also have their own beauty.
For example, eating, drinking and having fun.
These are things that do not exist in the world of cultivation.
Under Hua's guidance, Feng Yanran gradually became familiar with the city.
Now her favorite place to go is Kyoto Snack Street, where there are so many things.
You can’t finish it in one day.
There is also the ancient building, the Great Wall. She and Xiao Cheng would always walk on its body.
Looking at the vast scene around her, she sometimes wondered how it was amazing that the people here, who didn't know how to practice, could build such a great Great Wall.
Her favorite place is to go to the palace to take pictures of ancient costumes, and she likes every set of clothes.
She developed all the photos and kept them carefully one by one.
Compared to Yanran, Zhihan had even more fun.
Especially with his two cousins, Zhihua took him around to play every day and he got to know many people of the same age.
Compared to his previous life as a rich young master, he prefers his current life.
Mei Xue and He Anze are still thinking about Xiao Peng, but it would be extremely difficult for them to make another breakthrough.
The ascension to a higher world takes no less than a hundred years.
Even if time flows at a different speed, they can't do anything about it.
We can only hope that Xiaopeng comes out of the world of nothingness, and then the family will be reunited.
With their current level of cultivation, life span is no longer important, and their wish is not to live forever.
Instead of spending this much time alone, you might as well enjoy some time alone.
So, during the time Mei Xue stayed in Kyoto, she started to get together with Shuang Shuang and others.
Every day is very carefree.
When Xiaoyu saw his parents coming back, the first thing he wanted to do was to return the company to his father. Unfortunately, He Anze was smarter than him.
He ran out long ago.
Now Anshan and others are slowly taking the burden off their shoulders and putting it on their own children.
He Anze and his group of good cousins played together all day long, it was so nice.
That day, they were having a party in Baima Village, and Anwen suddenly suggested going back to his hometown to visit.
"That's a good idea. I haven't been back for a few years. It's a good opportunity to take Zhihan and the others back to worship their ancestors." He Anze continued after hearing Anwen and the others' suggestion.
Zhihan and Yanran entered the house later, and they had not yet gone to burn incense for the old lady.
And there is Xiao Cheng, he was not at home when the old lady passed away.
"Yes, Zhihan came in later, so he should go and burn some incense for grandma. I think grandma would be very happy." Speaking of Third Grandma, they all missed her.
Thinking about the stick in Third Grandma's hand, and the days when Third Grandma chased them and beat them.
Especially An Liang, he has the deepest feelings for Third Grandma.
In the past, Third Grandma loved him very much, but he didn't take good care of her, so she passed away.
"Brother Anze, I miss my grandma." As he spoke, An Liang started crying.
He is in his forties or fifties, but when he cries he cries like a child.
As he cried, An Wen and others couldn't help but shed tears.
"You little brat, why are you crying? If grandma were here, she would hate to see us cry the most." An Wen slapped the two An Liangs in annoyance.
"Wow, but I just miss her. Do you remember that one time when we went into the water to play, and when Third Grandma found out, she chased us with a stick and beat us." An Liang said while crying as he recalled the past.
"Don't give me that. I'm obviously going to hit you. It was you who brought the villagers to the pond, not us." An Shan rolled his eyes at him.
As they talked, everyone was lost in memories of the past.
"Yes, we were all very poor back then, and I made my first pot of gold by following my sister-in-law to sell eels."
"Yes, I don't know what happened to my sister-in-law at that time. She caught a lot of big eels."
"Now you understand, our sister-in-law is not an ordinary person."
He Anze listened to their words. These were memories in which he had no participation.
But even so, he could still create those scenes.
"It's not just the eels. When they were smashing the fish in the stream, An Wen was afraid that his sister-in-law couldn't lift the hammer, but what was the result?" An Shan revealed.
"You kid, you don't remember the good things, but only remember these. Am I the only one who felt that at the time?" An Wen rolled his eyes at him.
Although life was hard back then, there was much more joy than now.
"How about this, when we go back this time, let's play the game we played as kids again," An Liang suggested.
"I think so."
"I think so too."
···
After the men had discussed it, they started talking to their families about returning to the village during dinner.
The elderly don’t care, wherever their children are is home.
Even if they die in the future, they will never return to the village, so it doesn't matter whether they return or not.
If the children want to play, they can go.
In Anwen's family, Aunt Xilian's hair is all white now. After her grandchildren have grown up, she is living a peaceful life in her old age.
"Why don't you take the children back with you? They may not even remember where your hometown is," Aunt Xilian said with a smile.
When she recalled the past, she remembered more of the bitterness.
Uncle Zhengxi didn't think too much about it. Now he has a lot of companions here, and they have made plans to play chess together tomorrow.
"We have to let them get acquainted with the place. Your mother and I will not go back. It's a good opportunity for you and Shuangshuang to go back and see your sister." Uncle Zhengxi was thinking about his daughter.
After their family moved away, Hongmei still lived in the village.
Even though her living conditions are better now, she still maintains her family's farming, which makes her a strong woman.
Liming's furniture factory is located in the county town, not far from home.
The house at home is no worse than those in the city.
Every household has become rich thanks to Aunt San's family, and now they live a life they never dared to imagine before.
You know, in the past, his family spent all their money to treat his feet. If Hongmei hadn't brought some back from her husband's family, I'm afraid...
Recalling some past events, Uncle Zhengxi also sighed a lot.
"When you go back, help me burn some incense at Aunt San's grave." They used to go back during the Qingming Festival, but now, they go back less often.
"I know, Dad."
The other side.
Anshan and Anliang both mentioned returning to their hometowns.
Aunt Meilian wanted to go back with us, but she couldn't leave home.
Uncle Zhengcai didn't really want to go back. There was nothing interesting about his relatives in his hometown, and they had moved out their belongings long ago.
If you want to say there is any love, there really isn't any.
"Go back and help me burn some incense for Aunt San." The same answer as Uncle Zhengxi.
"I know, Dad." An Liang responded.
"By the way, when you go back, do you want to take the children with you? The holiday is coming soon. Otherwise, you can wait until the children are on holiday." Aunt Meilian asked.
An Liang shook his head. "I don't know. I'll ask An Ze and the others later. If they all take the children back, I'll take them."
"Okay, then you can ask later."
Anshan's family had even less objections.
When his wife heard that he was going back to his hometown, she was so happy.
"Brother Shan, what do you think about us going back and letting our parents take care of the child?" She had not had a good rest in these years, taking care of the child every day.
So tired.
My mother-in-law is not in good health, so I can't let her take care of the child.
It just so happened that she went back to play this time, so of course she wanted to relax for herself.
"I think it's okay, but you have to ask mom." His mother had an old illness and back pain.
Even if you take care of it every day, it will still be very uncomfortable when it is windy and rainy.
"You go and tell me, I'm embarrassed." Anshan's wife said shyly.
"You, okay, I'll go talk to you."
Aunt Zhengting wanted to go back with them to take a look. The old house hadn’t been renovated for a long time, and she didn’t know if it was leaking.
"Meilian and the others are not going back?" Zhengting asked after hearing Anshan mention going back to his hometown.
An Shan shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't asked yet."
"Why do you want to go back? Your waist is not feeling well again. Don't you feel uncomfortable from tossing and turning?" Uncle Zhengting said after looking at his wife.
"Now that it doesn't hurt anymore, you should be able to ride the car now." Aunt Zhengting really wanted to go back and take a look.
So many years had passed, and there had been no news of An Lin. She had wanted to go back and see if An Lin had come back.
What he did back then was wrong, but she still thinks of her son from time to time.
Uncle Zhengting saw through Aunt Zhengting's thoughts at a glance, "I don't know what you are planning, so don't think too much. Life is not bad now."
In the past, Zheng Tingbo might have thought of An Lin, but as time went by, even the deepest feelings were worn away.
Such high hopes were placed on him, but how did he repay himself in the end?
He has to bear all the good and bad days by himself, so he can forget about Anshan.
People become more clever as they get older, this might be referring to Uncle Zhengting.
"What do I think? I don't have any thoughts." It's normal for a mother to worry about her children.
Anshan understood what they said, but he would not make any comments. His elder brother really hurt him too much.
He regretted giving up his studies for him the most.
But what can we do?
He can't just ignore his sick mother at home.
Anshan's wife didn't know much about the past, but she sat quietly by the side.
"Mom, if you miss my brother, I can help you find him." An Shan said after sighing.
Aunt Zhengting raised her head and looked at Anshan, wanting to see if he was sincere.
Zheng Tingbo immediately said: "No need, his life and death have nothing to do with you. Your responsibility is only to me and your mother." Big brother?
Of course, he had hurt Anshan's heart many times for Anlin, but now that he was so old, he would not hurt his son's heart again.
Aunt Zhengting opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.
"In that case, let's just forget it." Anshan still blamed his elder brother in his heart.
And on He Anze's side.
When Xiaobai and Xiaocheng heard him say that he was going back to his hometown, they were the happiest.
They miss the village very much.
"Then we can go to Yunwu Mountain to play. Let me tell you, it's a lot of fun there." Before, Xiaobai would never let them go.
But now, it's a really good place to go.
"I want to go hunting wild boars. Uncle An Liang and his friends said that the wild boars on Wild Boar Mountain taste delicious."
Each memory is different.
"It's all meat, so why should it smell good?" Mei Xue smiled at the two of them. "At that time, my family was poor, so if we wanted to eat meat, we had to wait until the New Year or other festivals."
"It's not like now. We eat meat every day and we're tired of it." Mei Xue also recalled what happened back then.
It’s been so long, but I still have the most memories of that time.
"I want to eat the little fish in the stream. The taste is irreplaceable even now." He looked reminiscent.
He Anze looked at them with a smile.
"Then let's go back and look for the taste of our childhood."
“You can have this.”
Zhicheng had been there, but Zhihan had not. He always thought Kyoto was his hometown, but he didn't expect that they actually had a hometown.
"Is it fun in your hometown?" Zhihan asked Zhicheng softly.
"There's nothing fun here. It's not as good as here now." They are now in Baima Village.
This is already a very famous tourist attraction in Kyoto, and many people come here to play on weekends.
Zhihan looked unconvinced, "Then why are grandpa and grandma so interested?"
“That’s because they grew up there.”
Because the children's holiday was not long away, everyone was waiting for the children to have the holiday and then take them back together.
Hejia Village.
Over the years, thanks to He Anze's family taking the lead, everyone's lives have been greatly improved.
Just one winter ago, a man returned to the village.
He looked at the changes in the village and almost couldn't find his home.
After asking people, I found out that the old road to my home was washed away by floods, and now a new cement road has been built that goes around the mountain.
He had changed so much that even those who had grown up with him could not recognize him at first sight.
It was not until shortly after he returned home that everyone realized what was happening.
The current Hejia Village is not the same as before. Many people from neighboring villages have moved here.
Some come here to work, and some come here to do subcontracting.
Anyway, Hejia Village is now truly prosperous.
An Wei is no longer the village chief. He was transferred to the city because of his good political achievements. It has only been a short time.
He climbed to the central department of the city, thanks to his ability.
He has been maintaining his hometown. He knew his parents would not come back, but he still renovated the house.
No family in the village can compare to Aunt He San and He Zhengbei's family.
Aunt Xilian and her families only renovated their homes and did not build new ones.
So it looks a lot more shabby.
Hongmei built a new house where she used to raise pigs, and now most of her family lives there.
As for Zhengtingbo's house, since Anshan and his friends have settled down in Kyoto, they don't plan to come back home.
