Chapter 570, An Lin
Besides, they now have a house in Baima Village, where the environment is much better.
It doesn't matter whether the old house is repaired or not.
The person who returned to the village was none other than An Lin.
After being away from home for decades and now returning alone, he is too ashamed to face his parents.
He originally planned to visit his parents and then leave, but unexpectedly, there was no one at home.
Upon asking, I found out that the family had moved out of the village long ago.
He also heard about Anshan's story. His younger brother had become capable and was living a good life with his parents, so he felt less guilty.
So he broke the lock of the house and moved in.
It was not until the next day that people living near the stream discovered smoke coming from a house on the mountain. When they came up to take a look, they found out that An Lin had returned.
When the older generation saw An Lin, they all came forward and scolded him.
Some people who were on good terms with Aunt Zhengting went up to help her beat An Lin a few times.
An Lin accepted all of this.
He also apologized to the elders in the village.
But things have happened. Will it be useful to apologize?
After beating and scolding him, the elders asked about An Lin.
An Lin did not hide anything and told everyone about his experiences outside.
Everything was fine in the first few years after they left home, as both he and his wife were earning money.
But later, the wife was dazzled by the prosperity of the city and began to dislike him.
They say he has no ability and can't make money.
She said he couldn't support her, and that he was useless and couldn't even have a child.
An Lin endured it all. He really liked her and wanted to spend his whole life with her.
A few years later, she had someone else outside.
After he found out, she actually asked the adulterer to beat him up, and then they divorced.
That’s it. An Lin wasn’t angry.
What made him most angry was that she didn't let him go. Not only did she make him lose his job, but she also pushed him into a desperate situation.
An Lin couldn't stand it anymore and finally left.
After he left, his life gradually became better.
But the only job he could do was hard labor. He regretted why he didn't learn how to make wine from his sister-in-law.
But what’s the use of regret?
No amount of regret can make up for the shit he did in the past.
He always wanted to come back to see his parents, but he was afraid.
He was afraid that his parents would not forgive him and would kick him out.
And so, day after day passed.
He didn't look for it again.
I spend all the money I earn on my own.
When he got older, he began to remember the worries his parents had for him.
Start saving money.
In order to save money, he became more and more unkempt.
He looks like a refugee.
Now, as he gets older, he misses home.
He misses his parents and his younger brother.
I originally wanted to come back and take a secret look, leave some money for my parents, and give some money to Anshan to make up for his mistake.
But I didn’t expect that they were no longer in their hometown.
After learning that Anshan was living well in Kyoto, he had no plans to go look for him. Since his parents were not at home, he would just stay at home.
This is his home and his childhood memories.
People start to miss home when they reach a certain age.
Everyone in the village lived a good life, so he followed the crowd and opened a vegetable garden in the back mountain.
Selling some vegetables every year can ensure his own food and drink.
Now that he has no home or wife to support, his life is still bearable.
Compared with people of his year, An Lin lives like an old man.
Anshan had no idea that his brother had returned.
But it doesn’t matter, I’ll come back whenever I want.
Everything here was prepared for him by his father. This is his home.
This is also the reason why Anshan has not mentioned repairing the old house for so many years.
Time flies and it is time for the children to have holidays.
As soon as the holiday started, several families began to prepare.
Most of the people traveling this time were young people, so no one planned to take a plane and they all drove.
We talked and laughed along the way and had fun as we walked.
It took them more than half a month to return to Ming County.
As soon as they arrived in the county, they went to find An Wei first.
When An Wei learned of everyone's arrival, he immediately went to the unit to ask for leave.
Fortunately, they were all well-known people, and the leaders of the unit were very happy and directly gave An Wei ten days of leave.
But An Wei was very happy.
Now that we are in the county town, of course we have to go and see Ma Liming.
Look, the team is getting bigger and bigger.
However, Ma Liming mentioned something that affected everyone's good mood.
"Brother-in-law, is my eldest brother really back?" Anshan's heart was beating a little fast.
Maybe it was because he was suppressed by his brother for too long when he was a child. After so many years, he still couldn't get over it.
Ma Liming also felt a little sorry for Anshan. He had originally planned to call Zheng Tingbo's family, but was stopped by An Lin.
He said that he didn't come back to trouble his parents, and they were living well now, so there was no need to tell them.
Ma Liming was also thinking about Anshan and didn't want him to have any conflicts with his parents because of Anlin's affairs, so he chose not to say anything.
"It's true, but your brother has changed a lot." Ma Liming told Anshan the truth.
It's a pity that he was hurt so deeply back then that Anshan didn't believe in his heart that he would change.
"Brother-in-law, I know. Whether he is good or bad, it has nothing to do with me." An Shan took a deep breath.
If he really changes, as a brother, he will help him, but if he doesn't change, then he doesn't mind taking revenge for the past.
Everyone sighed as they watched Anshan's expression change.
He Anze walked up to Anshan and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think too much. No matter whether it has changed or not, you'll know when you see him in person." They stopped at the reservoir and played for a while.
"We'll be entering the village soon. Tell your brother and sister-in-law, and the children. No matter what, he is still their uncle, and we should not neglect the proper courtesy."
He Anze advised Anshan a little, but there was no need to say more, as Anshan was not an unreasonable person.
The beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers is not as good as that of the world of cultivation, but it is indeed rare outside.
In Ming County, only Hejia Village is the best developed.
There are also many people coming and going for sightseeing.
Xiaowei is very capable. He had arranged the reservoir before he left. Now the village chief of Hejia Village is also following Xiaowei's plan.
In the words of others, the current village chief is just Xiaowei's tool.
But what the truth is, only the parties involved know.
There is food and drink on the reservoir dam.
It's noon now, and no one wants to go into the village to trouble others, so they eat here.
The meals are all farm-style stir-fries with a unique flavor.
Only Anshan and his wife didn't have the energy to appreciate the taste of the meal.
When the sun was about to set, the large group began to head towards the village.
Looking at the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, the group began to tease An Yong.
That’s right, it was An Yong. He engraved everything that An Ze and his wife had done on a stone tablet and told everyone.
Let those who come to visit see their contributions to the village.
The surrounding villages envy Hejia Village, but unfortunately, they don't have such a capable person.
Even building a road requires a lot of help.
Every household was filled with smoke, and the cattle and sheep that had gone out into the village in the morning also returned home at this time.
Their car was so huge that it was spotted by sharp-eyed people as soon as it entered the village.
They gathered around immediately.
"Isn't this Xiaoyong? How come you guys are back?" As soon as he finished speaking, he found other familiar people in the surrounding cars, "Hey, you brothers are all back together."
After saying that, the uncle started laughing.
So everyone had to stop the car, let a few people drive in first, and then walk back along the road.
There's no way, the villagers are too welcoming, you can't just not get off the car.
An Wen, An Shan and An Liang took out cigarettes from their cars and distributed them to everyone they met.
"Hello, uncle, aunt, uncle, and aunt." His mouth was almost crooked with smiles.
The downside is that the adults didn't come back with us, as I always have to deal with the elders in the village by myself.
If adults were around, they could just act like children.
Many people didn't recognize He Anze and Mei Xue, so they didn't get out of the car. They let Xiaobai and others take over the other people's cars and drove to the parking lot by the creek.
That’s right, now this place has been well planned by Xiaowei.
The villagers informed the village chief of Xiaowei's arrival, and at this time, he was afraid that he would be invited away by the village chief.
After getting off the car and looking at the changes around them, Mei Xue and He Anze looked at each other and smiled, "Familiar and yet strange." Mei Xue said with a smile.
"Yeah, I haven't been back for many years." Only they themselves understood their conversation.
The younger ones were all confused.
"Grandpa, where are we sleeping tonight?" asked An Wen's grandson.
That’s right, these time, the ones brought here are all grandchildren.
For example, An Liang and An Shan don’t have grandchildren yet, so they brought their young son over.
An Wen’s grandson is only three years old, and the little girl looks very much like her grandfather.
An Ze picked the person up and said, "How about we live in the mountains? Let's set up a tent." He teased the child.
"Okay, okay." The little girl was so happy.
Well, another person is coming crazy.
No matter how An Ze and Mei Xue changed, their appearance did not change much.
Like Zhengsong's family and Grandma Meng's family, they all still live in the village.
The men had just returned from working in the fields and recognized them immediately when they passed by the parking lot.
"Anze, Xiaoxue, are you back?" The two of them came back from herding cattle together, looked at the people in the parking lot, and shouted with disbelief.
Conditions are better now, but they are not lazy people, nor are they people who enjoy a good life.
Like Grandma Meng's son, his speech is still a little unclear.
It whimpered twice, quite loudly.
Of course Mei Xue and He Anze discovered them.
"Brother Anxiang." Seeing the person standing there, the two recognized who it was at a glance.
I took the children over to greet the two of them.
Let the children call people too.
Ever since Grandma Meng passed away, Mei Xue has rarely visited Anxiang's house.
"Grandpa, hello uncle."
The children are very well behaved.
Zhicheng and Zhihan are destined to take care of the children throughout the whole process.
Xiaobai, Jiaolong and Dabai started to move the gifts from the car.
Where do they live?
Of course, I live in the He family courtyard.
The village chief of each generation would come over to help clean up the yard.
It can be said that the small wooden building has become the most eye-catching place in the village.
Xiaobai is very familiar with this place. He directs everyone to work together like a master.
Xiao Cheng and Yanran did the same. After they went forward and called for help, they also started to help Xiaobai move things back home.
It’s getting late, it will be dark soon.
When Xiaobai, Dabai and Jiaolong reached halfway up the mountain, An Lin was collecting the dried vegetables that were drying in the sun in his yard.
A group of strangers came, and he looked defensive. "Who are you?" An Lin put down the things in his hands, bent down and asked Xiaobai and others.
There are only a few families here, and they have all moved away.
Xiao Bai looked at the man in front of him and sighed in his heart, 'How did the young man back then become like this now? He looks older than He Zhengting.'
"We are from the He family, you must be An Lin." Little Baizui inherited Grandma He's bad mouth, and he can say anything he wants.
"Oh, you can't make it out there anymore, so you finally remember that this is your home."
When An Lin heard that the young man in front of him knew him, he couldn't believe it.
"Young man, do you know me?" He frowned.
He doesn't look like a liar, but how old is he? How is it possible to know him?
"Yes, I have known you since childhood, but you were much more energetic back then than you are now." Xiaobai said surprisingly.
An Lin was confused. "When he was a child? Stop joking, young man. How old are you?" When he was a child, this child might not have been born yet.
Xiaobai didn't want to argue with him any more as there were still a lot of things to move.
"Believe it or not." After saying that, he turned his head and left.
In my grandmother's words, this kind of person will become obedient if he is beaten three times a day.
He was just beaten less when he was a child.
Looking at Xiaobai ignoring him, An Lin was still confused.
However, when he saw them walking towards Grandma He's house, he hurried over.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you opening someone else's door?" He really didn't know these people, so he stepped forward to stop them.
The door was already open, and he couldn't stop her. "This is our home. Do we need your permission to go back to our own home?"
An Lin was not loved when he was a child, and he is still so disliked now.
At this time, Zhicheng came over and said, "Uncle Xiaobai, please say less."
Zhicheng walked up to Anlin and said, "Hello, Grandpa Anlin, I am He Anze's grandson, my name is Zhicheng."
Over the years, he had seldom received respect from others. Now, when he heard someone calling him so politely, An Lin felt a pang in his heart.
"Good boy, you said you are Brother Anze's grandson? But this is..." This child is too old.
How come it's only been a few years? Why does he feel...
I don't live in the same world as them.
Not to mention grandchildren, he didn't even leave behind a son.
Now that I’m so old, it’s really...
"Yes, this is my grandfather's second son's family." After saying that, Zhicheng pulled Zhihan over and said, "This is my third uncle's family. His name is Zhihan."
Zhihan was a little confused, but he still politely called Anlin "Grandpa".
An Lin was envious and moved.
If I hadn't been so worried back then, would I have grandchildren now?
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.
"You're the only ones back? Your parents, grandparents haven't come back yet?" An Lin became a little excited at this time.
It feels like I’m finally meeting my in-laws.
My dear.
This is the person he has been thinking about and waiting for all his life.
He didn't cherish it before, but now, he is looking forward to it.
I really want to see them, but I'm afraid to meet them.
Anyway, it's very contradictory.
