"The air in Arbor Bay is still very good. We came here just once when we were getting married. It has changed a lot now."

Yi Mingshan was holding a sleeping child on her lap in the back seat, looking out at the green fields outside through the car window.

I couldn't help but tell my husband about the past.

In the many years since I married Qiao Zhihui, I have only returned to my hometown twice. Sometimes it was Qiao Zhihui who came back by himself.

The main reason is to worship the ancestors. Besides the rental of the house, the most important thing is to worship the ancestors.

The Spring Festival and Qingming Festival are both very important festivals here in Western Province. Some people don’t go home to celebrate the Spring Festival, but they will definitely go home to worship their ancestors during the Qingming Festival.

"It's true that we haven't been back for a long time. We may have to go to town to stay tonight. We probably won't be able to live in our house."

Qiao Zhihui looked at the familiar road in front of him, and the melancholy and excitement in his heart were obvious when he drove back.

After being away from my hometown for so many years, when I came back, I actually felt like I was afraid of being close to home.

"Go home and take a look at the current state of our home. If we can't live in it, we'll go to the brigade leader's house first, and we can eat everything at the brigade captain's house.

Anyway, when I came back after so many years, I also went back to the brigade leader’s house. I haven’t seen our uncle for a long time. "

"Okay, just do as you say."

The two chatted a lot about Qiaomu Bay. When they passed the mulberry field along the way, everyone was still wondering why the car was going to Qiao Zhihui's house.

When I arrived at my door, I saw a house covered in dust. I didn’t know what to clean up like this.

After opening the door, you enter into a large living room. There is a room on the left of the living room and a room on the right.

Entering through the corridor is a kitchen, which is separate from the house, which is equivalent to adding a small kitchen at the back of the house.

There is an old black and white TV in the living room, and a few small chairs, all made of bamboo, but nothing else.

"The dust at home is too big, so I don't want to live here anymore. Let's go to my uncle's house to eat in the evening. If we want to sleep, we can go to a hotel in the town. Otherwise, how can we do this? There are no quilts."

Yi Mingshan walked to the gate and waved her hand in front of her face, as if this could drive away all the dust in the air.

"I'll wait for you in the car. Come back soon."

Not wanting to take another look at this house, I quickly walked into the car, opened the door and got in again.

I looked at my daughter sleeping next to me, and then at this house. I never thought that someone would rent such an old house for 600 yuan.

Qiao Zhihui walked around the house twice with a worried expression on his face, but he didn't intend to stay. He turned around, closed the door, and headed to the brigade leader's house.

When I drove to the door of the brigade captain's house, he was spotted by the brigade captain. He came out of the yard to see who it was.

When he saw Qiao Zhihui in the car, a smile broke out on the captain's face.

"Zhihui is back. Come in quickly. You must be tired from the journey. Let's go cook. Come home and sit down."

Qiao Zhihui and Yi Mingshan got out of the car. Yi Mingshan had just woken up her daughter Qiao Zhuzhu.

"Quick, call me grandpa." Yi Mingshan patted her daughter on the shoulder. Her daughter is now ten years old.

It is indeed the first time to return to my father’s hometown.

"Hello, Grandpa."

Qiao Zhuzhu greeted the captain sweetly.

The captain hurriedly called the family into the house.

Qiao Zhihui opened the trunk and took out everything inside. When he came over, he prepared milk and some gift boxes to give to the captain's house.

After all, going home will disturb the captain and the others.

"Uncle, I brought some things with you. I'll take them in first." "Come as soon as you come, and bring back anything else."

The captain's tone was a bit reproachful, but he was also very happy that Qiao Zhihui knew etiquette.

"Old lady, Zhihui is back. You can kill a chicken with hot water. I'll go to Qiao's house later to get some vegetables."

After the captain greeted the family, he quickly asked the old woman at home to kill the chicken.

Whenever guests come, they will kill chickens to entertain them.

People in the village recognize that Qiao's vegetables are delicious. If they have any guests, they will go to Qiao's house to buy some vegetables.

The vegetables you buy will be a little more expensive than the vegetables in the market, but they are much cheaper than those given to Chenghua Hotel.

Everyone is willing to spend some money when guests come, and everyone who eats this green vegetable will praise it, so the host also has face.

"Uncle, let me help auntie." After Qiao Zhihui put the things away, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to help in the kitchen.

"You go ahead, she can't do it alone. I'll go and come back."

After saying that, the captain picked up the vegetable basket and went to Qiao's vegetable patch.

I picked some cabbage and lettuce in the vegetable field, and went to Qiao's house to ask if anyone was there.

Grandpa Qiao just happened to be at the door, "I just went to the field to pick some vegetables, how can I give you this money?"

Grandpa Qiao saw that the basket was full, but it probably only amounted to two handfuls of green vegetables, and he had no intention of weighing it.

"Five yuan is enough. Did you have any guests today? They actually came to pick vegetables at our place."

Grandpa Qiao also asked curiously.

After transferring the money to Grandpa Qiao with his mobile phone, he said to Grandpa Qiao: "Zhihui is back, and he has brought his wife and daughter back to worship his ancestors."

"And I'm here to sign the contract for that house with Manman. If you're free, come over today and let's have a drink. Zhihui finally comes here."

The captain said that Grandpa Qiao also felt that he should go there tonight.

"Okay, then I'll go there tonight."

The captain nodded, "Okay, I'll go back first. We still have to make dinner. I'll call you when it's ready."

"Okay, I'll wait for your call."

After speaking, Grandpa Qiao returned to the yard to rest.

Now I don't have anything to do at home. I have finished the vegetable patch, and I also need to take care of the mulberry field.

Grandpa Qiao is now retired, but it’s still fun to check his phone every day.

Recently, Pang Zhongshan followed Qiao Manman to the factory to look at the machines, while Zeng Wenfang followed Qiao's mother to walk in the fields and go to Xiaohua Mountain to see and pick fruits. Life was extremely happy and comfortable.

At six o'clock in the evening, Grandpa Qiao was called to the brigade leader's house.

Grandpa Qiao also took out a bottle of good wine from his wine cabinet. His wine cabinet was given to him by those who came to find Qiao Manman.

I am restricted in the amount I can drink, so I have a lot of wine left, so I can take it with me and have a few drinks today.

Otherwise, drinking alone would be really lonely and boring.

He just likes to drink and chat.

If Qiao Manman knew that Grandpa Qiao was going to the captain's house for dinner today, Gao Luo would follow him and keep an eye on him. Grandpa Qiao would lose control after he got drunk.
