"Yes, you should come back with Xiaowei during your holidays. Even though there's nothing much to see outside now, it will be very beautiful in the spring, and there will be peaches to eat in the summer."
Grandma Ye also followed suit.
Chen Miao smiled and nodded.
She was a little nervous before coming. Ye Jiawei's family lived in the countryside, and she was afraid that they would be very poor and backward. Although she felt that Ye Jiawei was good in all aspects, she was afraid that his family would be a burden.
When she came here today, she felt that it was completely different from what she had imagined.
Although it is a dirt road, it is quite wide. People here live in blue brick and tile houses. They are not as nice as the buildings in the city, but every family has their own small courtyard, and life may be more comfortable than in the city.
"Chen Miao has been coming to Auntie's house to play often. Auntie's brothers and sisters are not at home. I will introduce you to them next time."
It was all the ladies talking, and the men couldn't get a word in, so they just listened and smiled.
Ye Jiawei told his family about Chen Miao's family situation, but they didn't ask any more questions. They only asked about Chen Miao's personal work situation, and mostly talked about his own family situation.
A daughter is a distinguished guest, and you should take her visit seriously for the first time. You can't scare her away by doing the same thing as checking her household registration.
"Get along well with Xiaowei from now on. If he says something wrong or does something wrong, tell me and I will teach him a lesson for you."
The more they talked, the closer they became, and finally Ye's mother said.
"Jiawei is doing fine."
Chen Miao smiled and glanced at Ye Jiawei.
He was indeed the person she had her eyes on. He was lively and cheerful, and his family was gentle and easy to get along with.
"Okay, Xiaowei, take Chen Miao around the village and come back for dinner later."
It was already eleven o'clock and time for lunch. Ye's mother asked Ye Jiawei to take the people for a walk around the neighborhood as they were going to start cooking.
"Auntie, let me help you."
Chen Miao stood up and prepared to help with cooking.
"No, no, there's no need for you to cook. Go play."
Mother Ye waved her hands repeatedly. It was unreasonable to ask someone to cook for the first time she came to the house. She called Ye Jiaying and her sister.
"Ying girl, you two should go out with your sister Chen Miao to play. Bring some delicious food so you don't get cold."
The group of four was directly "kicked out" of the house by Ye's mother.
"I'll show you around the place where I grew up. Aren't you always curious?"
After leaving the house, Ye Jiawei said to Chen Miao.
After saying this, he called his two younger sisters and started strolling around the village.
There is still a New Year atmosphere in the village now. Children are the happiest during the New Year. I met many children running around on the road. I saw them all greeting the Ye brothers and sisters, and then looking at Chen Miao curiously.
"Brother Xiaowei, who is this sister?"
There was a boy of seven or eight years old who took a handful of sour dates from Ye Xiaomei's hand. While eating, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"She's my brother's girlfriend. She's coming to our house for dinner today."
Ye Jiawei touched the child's hair and said.
"Oh, it's my brother's wife. When are you getting married? I want to eat candy."
Chen Miao lowered his head in embarrassment when he heard the boy's words.
"You little bastard, you're so greedy."
Ye Jiawei scolded and laughed as he patted the little boy's head.
"Oh, get married and eat candy."
Several other children followed suit.
"Go, go, go play."
Chen Miao pulled Ye Jiawei's arm and almost lowered her head to the ground. Ye Jiawei looked at her with a smile and drove away the children who were making a fuss.
The child ran away smiling.
"Children are ignorant, don't mind it. When we get married, just give them more candy."
Ye Jiawei continued to move forward with Chen Miao.
Chen Miao glanced at Ye Jiawei and did not respond.
"Let's go take a look at the new house."
Ye Jiawei didn't care and took them in another direction.
When Ye Jiaying first came in, he found out that his elder brother Ye Jia was an accomplice in the murder of the original owner, so he had a big fight with his elder brother Ye Jialei and told him all the disgusting things he had done.
Ye's father was preparing to divide the family business, and the next day he went to the village chief's house to apply for a new residential plot for Ye Jiawei.
Later, Ye Jialei ran away from home and there has been no news of him in these years.
The Ye family rarely mentioned Ye Jialei, but Ye's father was not idle. In the past two years, Ye Jiamin bought fruits by herself, and the family made some money. After the autumn harvest, a new house was built before the cold winter came.
Ye's parents also took into consideration that Ye Jiawei was getting old and it was time for him to get married. If the house was built earlier, it would be easier to find a wife.
Unexpectedly, Ye Jiawei found a partner for himself.
Ye Jiawei knew the family situation. With his eldest brother in such a state, it was probably impossible to rely on him to support him in his old age. There were only two boys in the family, so the responsibility of supporting them in their old age fell on him.
After the two started dating, Ye Jiawei told Chen Miao that no matter whether they lived in the city or the village in the future, he would be the one to take care of his parents in their old age.
Chen Miao had no objection either.
This meeting with the parents is also to let her see the situation of the Ye family. If they are satisfied, everyone will be happy. If they are not satisfied, there is still a chance.
Chen Miao nodded and asked curiously.
"Is the new house far away? Why aren't you together?"
"The residential land in our village was allocated by the village chief. The area near our house is already full, so the new house is not nearby, but it is not far away, about ten minutes' walk."
Ye Jiawei explained to her.
The old house where my grandparents lived was some distance away from their home. If it had not been reserved from the beginning, they would generally not be separated together.
After all, we are in the same village, so if there is anything, we can just call and find out.
"Is this your first time in the countryside, Sister Miao?"
Ye Jiaying asked.
Chen Miao nodded.
Although her home is near the suburbs of Beijing, it is actually within the urban area. Her grandparents are also in the city.
She doesn't have many relatives in the countryside, and except for her eldest brother who went there, she has rarely been there.
She used to hear people say the village was dirty and messy, but now it seems not so bad.
Yejia Village is quite cozy. Except for the fact that the road is not paved, it is quite flat and wide.
"The village isn't as developed as the city, but it's still quite fun. Almost every household in our village grows peach trees. When spring comes, you'll see vast expanses of peach blossoms, which is very beautiful."
"Really? Then I'll come back in the spring."
"Now is also fun, we can go skating on the river."
Ye Xiaomei said.
If you want to know who is most familiar with Yejia Village, it is Ye Xiaomei. She and a group of friends have traveled all over Yejia Village.
"Really? I heard you can ice skate at Shichahai in the city. I haven't been there yet. Is it possible here?"
Chen Miao was a little moved.
"Sure, it's fun here too. I went there a couple of days ago. We can go there this afternoon."
Ye Xiaomei nodded and enthusiastically recommended her own travel base.
Chen Miao looked at Ye Jiawei and wanted to go play.
Ye Jiawei smiled and said, "After dinner, let's go play for a while."
As they talked, the group walked to the new house.
A brand new wall, a red iron gate, and a house with green bricks and red tiles.
"Oh, I forgot my keys."
Ye Jiawei suddenly remembered that he didn't bring his keys, and he hadn't thought about it just now.
"I know where it is."
Ye Xiaomei spoke.
Then he walked to a corner of the wall, dug around in the ground for a long time, and finally pulled out a key.
