After rebirth, I kidnapped the future powerful official

Chapter 306 [Continued] Visiting relatives
Chu Yingying tightened the burden on her shoulders, then turned around and walked in the direction of Chu's Village in her memory.

It is said that being close to the hometown is more timid, but Chu Yingying does not feel this way, perhaps because the Chu family village is too far away for her.

She left here with her family when she was ten years old in her previous life, and never came back until she died.

Until now, Chujia Village in Jixi County is just an ordinary name for her, carrying the memories of before she was ten years old.

After she was ten years old, the Chu family village had nothing to do with her, so she didn't feel anything timid, as if she was stepping into a completely strange place.

Chu Yingying was deeply aware of this strange feeling at this moment.

Because she had lost her way twice, but she still couldn't find the way to the village in her memory.

The sun was high, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.

The sun makes the plants exude a fresh smell. It is spring, and the weeds and trees are growing up like crazy, stretching their branches and leaves recklessly.

Chu Yingying looked at the sky, resigned herself to returning to the previous three-way intersection, and made two mistakes, the last one should be the right one.

She took a deep breath and walked towards the leftmost path. It didn't take long for her to find something familiar.

This feeling is very strange, as if there was only a little bit of fuzzy memory at first, and it gradually became clear as I walked forward, filling up those incomplete memories one by one.

Chu Yingying finally saw the familiar mountain depression, quickened her pace, turned around the mountain depression, and a small village appeared in the distance.

The Chu family village has arrived.

Chujia Village is built on the mountain. In Chu Yingying's memory, there are many pagoda trees growing in the village. Every April and May, the pagoda trees bloom very vigorously, snow-white and snow-white.

The elder brother Chu Yunlang often took her to climb trees to pick Sophora japonica, and when he returned home, his mother knew how to make Sophora japonica cakes and Sophora japonica rice—that was a distant memory!
Now, Chu Yingying is walking on the muddy path, feeling that the village is very familiar and yet very strange.

The Sophora japonica flowers in her memory have also bloomed, she can even hear the laughter of children playing and the shouting of adults, but she no longer recognizes the people in the village!

Soon someone discovered that a stranger had come to the entrance of the village, and the children stretched their heads to look around, their eyes full of curiosity.

What is this man here for?

There was even a fat boy who boldly asked her: "Little brother, are you a shopkeeper?"

Without waiting for Chu Yingying to answer, they chattered together: "What is the peddler selling?"

"He's not a shopkeeper, he didn't shoulder the burden!"

"But he is carrying a bag, maybe the things are in the bag!"

"No, how could so many things be packed in the baggage?"

"Then you ask him!"

"I'm not going!"

……

The children were both bold and shy, jogging and running around, and they didn't run far away, chasing and chasing after Chu Yingying, like a string of little tails, and they seemed to be watching the excitement and novelty, refusing to Disperse.

Chu Yingying couldn't help bending her lips into a smile, and walked towards her home along the path.

Fortunately, she still remembered the way.

Chu Yingying's home is located in the west of the village, separated from the village by fields and half a hillside, so other families live close to each other, but theirs is farther away.

The children played and ran after her.

The weeds on both sides of the path are already waist deep, because no one takes care of them, and they are ambitious to occupy the entire path.

At this time, Chu Yingying heard the children guessing in unison: "Where do you think Brother Shopkeeper is going?"

"Go to Uncle Wen Qi's house?"

"Is he going to sell something?"

"I don't know, let's go and see."

Listening to the children's discussion, Chu Yingying suddenly grasped a very interesting detail: Village West is obviously the only one in her family, and her uncle and aunt live in the village. Why is it Uncle Wen Qi's family?

Soon after reaching the west of the village, Chu Yingying also saw the familiar yard of her own house, and she could see the situation in the yard through the fence.

The haystacks piled up all the year round in front of the door are gone, but the big mottled stone mill is still there. Looking closer, there is no crack in my memory. The stone mill has been replaced, and the crooked thatched shed has also been refurbished. Very solid.

Two children, one big and one small, were arguing and arguing in the yard, when one of them suddenly burst into tears and shouted, "Mother! Mother!"

A woman rushed out of the room, threw the things in her hand on the ground, hugged the crying child and said distressedly: "What's the matter? Why are you crying so well?"

The child pointed at the older girl, crying in his voice, "Mom, she bullied me!"

After listening to the woman, without saying a word, she just slapped her hand and cursed: "How many times have I told you! Don't bully my brother!"

The girl covered her face, not daring to speak.

At this moment, Chu Yingying heard the children around her yelling in unison, shouting, "Xiao Han's mother is hitting someone again! Hitting someone again!"

"Wow, Xiaohan's mother is so fierce!"

The woman was obviously coaxed by these children more than once, and turned her head to stare at them very annoyed.

When he saw Chu Yingying, he was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know what this stranger was doing standing outside their yard, he just regarded her as a spectator, picked up the child and was about to get up and leave.

At this moment, Chu Yingying asked, "This sister."

Hearing this, the woman stopped, looked at her suspiciously, and said, "What's the matter?"

Chu Yingying smiled politely and said, "Excuse me, who is the owner of this house?"

The woman gave her a strange look and said, "Of course it's our family."

Chu Yingying nodded, and said, "I wonder if I can ask for a bowl of water?"

After hearing this, the woman glanced at her, apparently taking her as a passer-by, and seeing her handsome appearance, she softened her expression and said, "Then just wait."

As she spoke, she carried the boy into the house, and when she came out, she held a porcelain bowl in her hand and passed it over the fence.

Chu Yingying smiled, thanked her, took the bowl, took a sip, and greeted the woman, "Sister, what's your family name?"

She is very polite and looks like a handsome teenager in men's clothing.

The woman was pleasing to her eyes, so she replied calmly, "My husband's family name is Fan."

Chu Yingying snorted, and asked again: "Has your family lived here all the time?"

The woman said: "Yes, I have been living here, where did my brother come from?"

Chu Yingying smiled and said, "I'm here to visit relatives."

She said, handed the bowl back to the woman, and said, "Thank you, sister."

The woman took the bowl, turned and went into the house.

Chu Yingying stood outside the fence, and heard the children beside her muttering: "So he is not a shopkeeper."

"I told you he definitely wasn't!"

"That's it!"

"Then what is he doing in our village?"

"Didn't he just say that? He was visiting relatives."

Chu Yingying left the village west, and the group of children still followed behind her, like a string of little tails that couldn't be shaken off, chattering like sparrows, very lively.

Chu Yingying suddenly stopped and asked them, "Where is your village head's house?"

"Ah!" A child clapped his hands, pointed at her and said, "Are you a relative of the village chief's family?"

The children swarmed and shouted: "I know! I know! The village chief and his family are over there!"

"I'll take you!"

They ran forward quickly, while looking back to see if Chu Yingying had followed, if they ran too fast, they would stop and wait for her.
