As the end of the year approaches, the small mountain village, which is hibernating, becomes much more lively.
The children were chasing and playing on the path, and when they saw the cars driving into the village, they ran after them excitedly.
"Oh my! What a big shot has come to our village!"
Aunt Cuihua, the loudmouth in the village, slapped her thigh and shouted to a little boy who was chasing the car,
"Little Shuanzi, stop running! Go back and tell your grandfather if anyone's coming from above."
Xiao Shuanzi is the grandson of the village chief. After hearing what Aunt Cuihua said, he turned a corner and ran towards his home.
The car made quite a noise. There was not a single car seen in the village all year round. After a while, a large group of people followed behind it.
"Why are you driving towards the back of the village? It doesn't look like you're heading to the village brigade."
"Could it be someone's relative?"
"Come on! There's no such person of note in our village! How could he be worthy of having relatives who drive two cars?"
"Why not? Didn't a car go to Old Tang's house before? This... this can't be going to Old Tang's house again, right?" Finally someone reacted.
"Of course! Isn't this the way to Old Tang's house?"
"Didn't Old Man Tang and Wang Dehua go to town with their son? Why are there still people going to his house?"
"Who knows? Just go and see for yourself."
......
Most of the roads in the village were covered with snow, and cars were driving slowly. Many impatient villagers stepped over the cars and walked ahead.
So much so that when the car stopped in front of the Tang family's gate, there were already quite a few people gathered in front of the gate.
Hearing the noise at the door, the adults and children of the Tang family also left the yard.
"Why are you all gathered at my front door? Is my front door beautiful or something?"
Li Jinhua went out and saw many of them gathered in groups of three or five at her doorstep, and she was a little confused.
"Who wants to look at your front door? Everyone comes to see the car."
Aunt Liu came forward and asked, "Jinhua, are your relatives coming to visit again? Everyone saw a car driving towards your house!"
"Car?"
Li Jinhua was also confused!
Her parents-in-law and her fourth brother's family would be back today, but hadn't she asked her husband to pick them up in a bullock cart? If they could take a car, why would they need to pick them up?
On the other side, Zhao Lai Di and Zhang Xiao Cui were also wondering when they saw a car turning towards them.
Surrounded by the crowd, the two cars stopped steadily at the gate of Old Man Tang's courtyard.
Tang Ming was the first to get out of the car and greeted the villagers cheerfully.
"Everyone is not busy!"
"Why did you get out of the car? Are the people in the car really your relatives?" asked Uncle Wang from next door while sucking on his cigarette.
"What relatives?"
Tang Ming smiled and pointed ahead, "Look, isn't that my father and mother? This car is specially for taking them back."
Tang's mother had already seen the villagers following the car through the car window, and had already taken out melon seeds and candies from their luggage.
When she got off the car and saw fellow villagers gathered around her, Tang's mother generously distributed candy to everyone.
"I haven't seen you all for a year, and I miss you all so much! Let's have some candy first to sweeten our mouths! We're back for the New Year, so we have to stay home for a while. We just got back, and the house isn't tidied up yet. I'll invite you all to come over some other day."
"Yes, yes, yes! Come to my house when you are free!"
Old Man Tang took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them to the men who were smoking.
"Uncle Tang, Aunt Tang is getting younger and younger. This great capital city is really a place for people to live!"
"Of course! Look at Aunt Tang, the wrinkles on her face have smoothed out. She doesn't look fifty at all. She looks younger than forty."
......Having gained benefits, the villagers flattered the two elders of the Tang family.
Lan Guoer and San Ye dressed the children in the car and then took them out.
Seeing that it was getting late and the road was difficult to travel on, Lan Guoer left two bottles of health-preserving wine for Lu's father and mother, and urged Lu Jun and the others to return.
The two cars left one after the other.
The villagers' attention shifted to the few people who had just gotten off the bus.
"Oh my! It's Guo'er! I wouldn't have recognized you if you hadn't told me! It's only been two years, and you're like a completely different person! You're getting prettier and prettier!"
"Are these the triplets from the fourth family? Oh my! This is the first time I've seen triplets. How come they're all so pretty? Are the dolls in New Year pictures supposed to look like this?"
"This couple are so lucky! They gave birth to a son and a daughter, and two of them are boys! Whose daughter-in-law is so capable?"
......
The Third Master was not used to the enthusiasm of the villagers yet. He had a cold face and protected Xiao Ling and Xiao Lie in his arms.
Li Jinhua was sharp-eyed and noticed at a glance that the Third Master was dressed in unusual attire. She approached the Third Master with a familiar air and asked, speculating:
"I am Guo'er's sister-in-law, are you a relative?"
Tang's mother didn't say in the telegram who would be coming, so Li Jinhua only guessed based on the Third Master's age.
"This is my uncle, my third uncle!" Xiao Lie corrected him! He felt that the woman in front of him was not smarter than him.
"I'm Guo'er's third uncle."
When the Third Master heard that she was Lan Guoer's sister-in-law, he looked at her and replied simply.
"Hello, Third Uncle! Hello, Third Uncle!"
Li Jinhua simply followed Lan Guoer's name, and it came so naturally to her.
"Uncle San, please come to my house and visit us later. We are all family, so please don't be estranged from us."
Li Jinhua's mind was racing at this moment. The third uncle from the fourth family seemed to be well-off. She invited him to her home as a guest. Would he have the nerve to come into her house empty-handed?
