Age: My Small World

"Yuanjie."

Thanks to the narrow road, the truck finally arrived at Uncle Fan's house and stopped on the side of the road.

Uncle Fan Qi's family, who had noticed the noise a long time ago, had been waiting for a long time. Fan Yuanjie's wife Lin Hui looked over excitedly with her big belly.

When Yang Jun and others got out of the car, Uncle Fan was a little surprised.

"Xiaoshan, you're back."

"Yes, Uncle Qi, I happened to meet Xiaojie in the county town, so I took his car back together."

On the other side, Li Xiaohua was thanking Fan Yuanjie.

"Aunt Li, why are you thanking me? Brother Xiaoshan and I have a close relationship, so it would be too distant to say thank you. This is what I should do." Fan Yuanjie smiled innocently.

"Yes, Xiaohua, if you want to ride in Yuanjie's car, just take it. Don't say anything nonsense." Yao Taohua greeted him happily.

"So, how long will you stay this time? Are you going back to the capital?"

Li Xiaohua was one of her few friends in the village, and Yao Taohua really missed her.

"We'll just come back for the New Year, and then we have to go back after the New Year. Yumei has to work, and Xiaoshan has to study."

"Yes, then we must have a good New Year."

"By the way, everything in your house is fine. We saw that no one had rummaged through it, so don't worry."

"Thank you for the trouble, Taohua." Li Xiaohua expressed her sincere gratitude.

"I told you to be polite. I'm going to have dinner with you in a couple of days."

"Okay, I'm serious."

Then, Li Xiaohua suddenly asked:

"By the way, Taohua, did you see anyone delivering anything to my door today?"

She still worried about the luggage.

Yao Taohua was a little surprised and said, "What is that? No one is coming."

"what?"

Li Xiaohua was suddenly shocked. Could it be that it hasn’t been delivered yet?
Or was it taken away by someone?

She was so worried that she didn't want to talk anymore. She said goodbye to Uncle Fan and the others and went home.

"Xiaohua has been to the capital and looks much younger now, like a grown-up girl."

Yao Taohua said with some envy.

"Mom, if you want to go to the city, I can take you with me. I said you don't have to stay in the village."

Fan Yuanjie is already a formal worker in the county town. Logically, he can bring his family to the city and transfer their household registration to urban areas, so that they can eat commercial grain.

However, both Uncle Fan Qi and Yao Taohua eventually rejected this proposal.

According to them, as the captain of the brigade and the women's captain, they should take good care of Fanjiazhuang, instead of abandoning the people in the village to enjoy themselves when the opportunity arises.

Uncle Fan Qi decided to set an example by settling down in the brigade for life and lead everyone to a good life.

There is no doubt that Uncle Fan is still quite responsible.

Therefore, Fan Yuanjie had to run back and forth every time.

"It's okay for us to stay in your house in the city for a few days, but if I were to live there for the rest of my life, I definitely wouldn't be able to adapt."

"Aunt Li has adapted well. Look, she looks younger after coming to the capital. If you follow me to live in the city for a while, you will definitely look better too."

Indeed, as long as you don't work in the fields all the time, your energy and spirit will naturally be different after staying at home for a period of time, especially if you tidy up yourself.

"Your mother and I are not going anyway, so don't bother talking about it." Uncle Fan shook his head and stopped Fan Yuanjie from speaking.

At this time, daughter-in-law Lin Hui pulled Fan Yuanjie's arm.

"Yuanjie, where are the things I asked you to buy?"

"Oh oh oh, I almost forgot, it's in the car."

……

Because Li Xiaohua was worried, several people returned to their hometown as soon as possible.

Yang Jun had already put all the luggage under the eaves in the yard in advance.

In the bright moonlight, Li Xiaohua saw that everything was there and breathed a sigh of relief. Cheng Xiaoyu was also surprised to see that the things had actually arrived home early.

Then she whispered to Yang Jun, "Brother Xiaoshan, should I go back today or tomorrow to see my mother and Aimin?"

Logically speaking, she and Yang Jun are already husband and wife, so going home can be considered a visit to her parents' home.

So I thought about discussing it so as not to make Yang Jun feel embarrassed.

"Let's go tonight, I'll go with you later." Yang Jun thought about it and decided to visit his mother-in-law and brother-in-law as soon as he came back.

Besides, he and Xiaoyuer are already married, which is a bit strange. It would be inappropriate not to tell Fan Ping.

So the two of them said something to Li Xiaohua and Yang Yumei, and then went over with some things.

Cheng Xiaoyu's things were still at home and were not taken with her because she had already married and thus had two homes.

When we arrived at Cheng Xiaoyu's house, the familiar fence looked even more dilapidated, and the little snow around it piled up on the roadside, forming a black and white contrast.

There was a faint light coming from the room, obviously Fan Ping was not asleep yet.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Cheng Xiaoyu raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Mom, it's me." She was already impatient to see her mother.

Yang Jun couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.

He felt somewhat guilty about marrying someone else's daughter for no apparent reason, even though they had already held an engagement party before.

As the door opened, Fan Ping, with red eyes, looked straight at the gate of the yard.

Fortunately, nothing can be seen in the moonlight.

Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes were also filled with tears, and her emotion of missing her mother completely burst out at this moment.

"mother."

"Little fish."

The two ran towards each other and hugged each other tightly under the eaves.

Fan Ping gently patted the little girl's back.

"You are such a cruel girl. You have been gone for such a long time and you didn't even come back to see Aimin and me."

Fan Ping cried and was very sad.

"Mom..." Cheng Xiaoyu burst into tears and just kept calling for her mother.

"Huh?" Cheng Aimin rubbed his eyes and came out.

He just fell asleep, so he didn't know what was going on.

He got out of bed only when he heard some noise outside the door.

Just looking at the scene in front of him, Fan Aimin was a little dazed.

"Sister? Why are you back?"

The boy was not sad, but his surprise and happiness were beyond words.

Immediately, a little head appeared in the arms of the mother and daughter.

"Mom, sister, what are you doing? You don't come into the house, and Brother Xiaoshan doesn't say anything."

Fan Ping finally reacted and quickly invited Yang Jun into the house.

"Aunt Ping..."

He wanted to call out "Mom", but he was too shy.

And I don’t know what Fan Ping’s attitude is, so I can only call her by her original name.

"Xiaoshan, please take care of Xiaoyuer."

After entering the house, Fan Ping returned to normal.

"I know about your situation. Xiaoyuer also wrote to me. If you don't want to have a banquet, then don't have it. It will also save so much food from being wasted."

When holding a wedding banquet, you always have to invite people to eat, and meat, rice and other things are indispensable, so the expenses are very high.

"Mom, I just feel that things are good now. Living a peaceful life is better than anything else." Cheng Xiaoyu helped to explain. (End of this chapter)
