Jianhua and Jianmin Dalin took down their luggage directly at the entrance of the village.
Old Chen drove the ox cart to send Grandpa Qi, Xiao An and Xiao Mo off.
Walking on the familiar road, everyone felt very at home. Needless to say, Grandpa Qi has lived here for decades.
Xu An came here to the countryside with his sister when he was ten years old. He returned to the city after taking the college entrance examination at the age of nineteen and has spent a full nine years here.
He spent his teenage years here and has many fond memories of him.
Xiao Mo was just over three years old when he came here with his parents, and all his memories began here.
Because he doesn't remember much about things before he was three years old.
This should be considered his first hometown, and the folks here occupy a very important place in his heart.
He missed not only the brothers who played well with him, but also the aunts and uncles, and everything in Elm Village.
Xu An took out the key and opened the gate. The yard was full of various vegetables.
It was like the scene when they didn't go back to the city, when he and his sister came back every day to tidy up the vegetable garden.
The open space at the door was swept very clean, and even the drain next to it was tidy.
Xu An picked up another key and opened the door. The room was just as clean and tidy as before.
He stood at the door, recalling the scene when he and his sister had just moved into this house.
At that time, his sister was fourteen years old and he was eleven years old, and they had been in the countryside for less than a year.
More than ten years have passed in a flash. The house they live in now is many times bigger than this one and is also more comfortably decorated than here.
But his feelings towards this house have not changed at all. It will always be his and his sister's home.
Seeing him standing there without moving, Xiao Mo shouted, "Second brother, what are you doing standing at the door?
Hurry and put the luggage in. Grandpa Chen has to go back to the city to pick someone up. Let’s not delay him. ”
Xu An, who was standing there reminiscing about the past, was awakened by his shout.
He quickly opened the door and put his luggage on the kitchen table.
There was no water at home, so Xiao Mo went to the field to pick a few tomatoes and two cucumbers to quench Grandpa Chen's thirst.
Old Chen didn't say anything polite. He took the cucumbers and tomatoes, said hello to Grandpa Qi and them, and drove the ox cart into the city.
Xu An picked up the bucket and shoulder pole and went to the well to fetch water.
Grandpa Qi originally wanted to live in the cowshed, but Xiao An and Xiao Mo disagreed, saying that they couldn't live here for long and it would be troublesome to move around, so they just had to stay here for a few days!
The house he used to live in was still reserved for him by the village. The village chief said that the rooms in the cowshed should be allocated to Grandpa Qi and no one else could occupy them.
Whenever he wants to come back, there will always be a house for him in the village.
Xiao Mo found a piece of cloth, wiped the kangs in the two rooms clean, and packed out the luggage he had brought.
These were new clothes and school supplies he bought for his good brothers.
There were also two large bags of old clothes. One bag was the clothes he had worn before. They were smaller now, but still looked about 70% to 80% new.
He couldn't bear to throw them away, so he packed them all up in a big bag and carried them all back to distribute to the children in the village.
There is also a bag of old clothes that are as thick as taffy. Although they are called old clothes, they are actually not old at all. They are about 70% to 80% new.
The three little kids grow so fast that their clothes become too small after just a few wears, so the fabrics are all of the best.
A large sack full of cotton-padded coats and trousers, sweaters and trousers, as well as waistcoats and capes, was washed clean by his sister.
He picked up one and smelled it, and it still smelled of laundry detergent.
Xu An poured the water into the water tank, and when he didn't see anyone else, he put down the bucket and walked into the bedroom.
Look, he is holding an old piece of toffee clothing and smelling it.
He thought Xiao Mo was homesick, so he asked with a smile: "Are you missing Niupi Tang? Don't be sad, we will go back in two days."
Xiao Mo looked at him in confusion and said, "Second brother, when did I ever want to make a sticky candy?
I finally got some peace and quiet for a few days, and I still miss them? How depressed am I?
Who said we'd be back in two days? I have already discussed with Grandpa Qi that we will stay here for a month.
If you miss them, you can go back with Brother Jianhua. I will go with Grandpa Qi, Brother Dalin and Brother Xiaofan. ”
Jianhua plans to pick up his mother, wife and children and go back to Beijing to set up a stall. He is reluctant to let him stay at home for a month. How much money will he lose?
Seeing that he didn't seem sad, Xu An turned around and walked out. Well, he thought he was homesick, but who knew he just wanted to stay here for a while to get some peace and quiet.
If these little guys knew that their uncle disliked them so much, they would be so sad.
Niu Niu and Pi Pi, who were shopping with their godfather and godmother, suddenly sneezed.
Pipi thought for a moment and said, "Brother, do you think our uncle misses us?"
Niu Niu sighed, "He must be missing us. I haven't seen my uncle for several days. I miss him too."
The two brothers suddenly felt that the department stores in Guangzhou were not so attractive anymore.
