Chapter 154 Enthusiastic Villagers
"Let's go, get in the car quickly and lead the way." Mi Xia urged.
"Okay." Wandefu replied and got in the car and started giving directions.
On the way, I rode from the county to the town, and from the town to the village. "Mom, I feel so uncomfortable. Why is this road not smooth at all? It's full of potholes."
"Wanwan, our country has just entered a period of rapid development, so we can't take care of some things yet. In the future, most places in the country will have smooth roads."
"Mom, I understand. Just wait a little longer. These roads will become the same as those near our home." Liu Wanwan said with her head raised.
"Yes, Wanwan is really smart." Mi Xia praised without hesitation.
"Come on, Senior Sister Mi, my home is just ahead." Wan Defu said embarrassedly.
"Lead the way."
Wanjia Village is where Wan Defu lives. After entering the village, "Defu, why are you back at this time today?"
"Aunt, my senior sister is coming to visit our house, so I came back early."
When the aunt heard what Wan Defu said, she nodded and greeted Mi Xia's family.
"Hello, grandma." Liu Wanwan asked with a bright smile.
"Okay, okay, this girl is really sensible. It's good for you, too." The aunt looked at Liu Wanwan with admiration.
"Fuwazi, you must treat them well. I'll bring some bacon to your house later."
"No need, Auntie. You didn't even eat the bacon during the New Year. Just keep it for yourself."
"That won't do. Fuwa, you have nothing at home. So it's settled." The aunt said and turned around and walked home.
After walking a few steps, an old man asked, "What are these Fuwazi?"
"Grandpa Wan, this is my senior sister's family. They are coming to visit my home." Wan Defu explained with a smile.
“Then wait a minute. I’ll go home and give you the pork I saved. You can ask your mother to cook it all for the guests.” After saying this, Grandpa Wan walked home.
Wan Defu hurriedly chased after him, "Grandpa Wan, just keep it for yourself. My senior sisters brought some food here."
Grandpa Wan refused and insisted that the country give it to Wan Defu. "That won't work. Your senior sister brought this as a token of our family's love. We can't be so rude and treat our family badly."
Along the way, this aunt gave me a handful of rice, that uncle gave me a handful of vegetables, and this grandfather gave me a piece of pork.
"Wan Defu, the people in your village are so warm and enthusiastic." Mi Xia sighed. She had rarely encountered such warm and enthusiastic people in her previous life.
In this world, people can do anything for money, and that's why Mi Xia felt touched by this scene.
"Senior Sister Mi, everyone in my village is like this. We help each other and never hide anything from others. We never lock the door when no one is at home because no one will steal anything."
Wan Defu's face is full of happiness when he talks about the village. Although the villagers are very poor, everyone is really nice.
Like him, when he had no money to go to school, didn’t his mother have to borrow money? The villagers lent the money to his mother without saying anything, and said they were in no hurry to pay it back.
Now his family still has a lot of debts to pay off, so he studies so hard, just to repay his parents and these lovely fellow villagers.
"Mom, I'm back." Wandefu shouted loudly.
"Why did you come back at noon today? Didn't you eat at school? Did something happen?" Mother Wan became more and more panicked as she spoke.
"Mom, it's okay. My senior sister came to visit our house, so the principal told me not to go this afternoon. She is the senior sister I wrote a letter to who was admitted to Jingqing University." Wan Defu said with a smile.
Hearing her son say this, Mother Wan knew who it was at once. Her son has been worshipping this senior schoolmate very much recently and has been talking about her every day.
"Hello, hello, please come in and sit down." Mother Wan greeted warmly.
Mi Xia looked at the house in front of her. She had only seen this kind of house when she was a child. It was a mud house with some peppers and garlic hanging on the wall.
It seemed like there were only houses like this along the way. After hearing what Wan's mother said, Mi Xia finally realized what was going on.
"Thank you, Auntie." Mi Xia said and then took Liu Wanwan into the house.
Mrs. Wan was wiping the stool with her sleeves. Mi Xia saw this and quickly walked over and said, "Auntie Wan, there's no need to do this."
"The chairs were dirty, so I thought of wiping them for you with my clothes." Mother Wan lowered her head in shame.
"It's okay, Aunt Wan, it's not dirty at all." Mi Xia said directly while sitting on the chair. She felt very uncomfortable at the moment.
Seeing this, Liu Haoyue also sat down with Liu Wanwan.
"Let me get you a glass of water." Mother Wan said awkwardly.
"Auntie, don't bother. We came here today to ask you something." Mi Xia said gently.
"Okay, I'll tell you whatever you want to ask, but it's noon now, and you must not have eaten yet. I'll go make you something to eat." Mother Wan said enthusiastically.
"Thank you, Auntie." Mi Xia did not refuse because she was indeed hungry.
Upon seeing this, Mother Wan hurried to the kitchen. The so-called kitchen was actually just a randomly built shed with an earthen stove made of mud inside.
There were also steamed buns made of wild vegetables in it. "Wait a moment, I'll go to the village to borrow some rice." Mother Wan said embarrassedly.
"Aunt Wan, I brought some food this time. You don't need to borrow it. Here is meat and rice. You can cook something." Mi Xia took out the things she brought.
"No, no, how can I use your things? Guests are welcome. Please wait here for a while. I'll go borrow them." Mother Wan hurriedly declined.
"Fuwa's mother, what do you want to borrow? I see Fuwa has brought guests here. This is some rice from my home. Take it and eat it first." An elderly woman said.
"I was going to your house to borrow it! And you came just in time. Let me introduce you. This is Fuwa's senior schoolmate, and she's here as a guest at home." Mother Wan introduced enthusiastically.
"This girl is so pretty."
"She's quite pretty. You can tell at first glance that she's not from here. She's a college student in Beijing." Mother Wan said enviously.
"Auntie, it's Jingqing." Mi Xia wasn't trying to show off, just a reminder.
"Yes, yes, it's Jingqing. Fuwa told me about it, but I just can't remember it." Mother Wan said embarrassedly.
"Mom, this is the meat Grandpa Wan gave me. He asked me to bring it back and cook a dish for Senior Sister Mi." Wan Defu walked over carrying half a pound of meat.
"Hello, auntie." Wan Defu said.
"Hey, Fuwa is different now that he goes to school in the county." The woman praised.
"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'm going home first."
"Okay, come and visit us often when you have time." Mother Wan came back after sending her mother away.
"Auntie, are everyone in your village so welcoming?" Mi Xia asked curiously.
"Yes, it has been like this for a hundred years. Every household in Wanjia Village is related, and when one family is in trouble, the whole family will support it." Mother Wan introduced with a smile.
