Chapter 57 Long time no see!

After dealing with the things that need to be done when entering the city, Xu Haibao arrived at Dongling Ferry Terminal on time in the afternoon with his cousin who had just been picked up.Seeing his father who came to pick up the boat, Xu Haixing also felt warm in his heart.

On the way home, I learned from Xu Qingya that Xu Haixing's home has been renovated this year, and that his parents are willing to pay for the renovation, more so that it is convenient for him to come back to live.After all, I'm used to being in the city, but I'm really not used to going home.

Even if his parents knew that he was coming back for the New Year, they wouldn't be able to stay at home for long, but they were still looking forward to his return with joy.Thinking of these, Xu Haixing also felt that if he had time in the future, he really should go home and have a look.

When the fishing boat docked at the pier of the village, looking at the finally renovated fishing pier, Xu Haibao also smiled and said, "Third Uncle, you are moving very fast! I have only been in the city for two days, and the pier is finished?"

"The Chinese New Year will be in two days, and many people have not even prepared the new year's goods! The village chief said that the pier will be leveled after the Chinese New Year. Anyway, these stone walls need to be dried for a while. The rest of the project , it’s not too late to do it after the Chinese New Year!”

Compared to this time in previous years, many people in the village stayed at home to play cards and brag, or went shopping in the city to spend money.This year the village is much busier than in previous years. In the remaining two days, the village committee also plans to let the villagers take a break.

After all, being busy all year round, it is rare to have a rest during the Spring Festival.It would be somewhat unreasonable to stay at the construction site every day to do projects.What's more, the village cadres also need time to start purchasing new year's goods!

On the way home, looking at the villagers who greeted each other with a smile from time to time, Xu Haixing, who had just returned home, felt that the village seemed to be more lively this year than in previous years.Compared with Xu Haibao who has not been home for five years, he will come back every Spring Festival.

Walking into his yard, looking at his mother who was busy, Xu Haixing also missed him and said: "Mom, I'm back!"

"Xingba, you're back! Just come back, have you eaten yet? Do you want me to give you hot food now?"

Even if I feel a little bit complaining about my son throughout the year, I won't be able to go home twice.But the son really came back, and the third aunt was still happy from the bottom of her heart.As the son grows up, the third aunt also knows that there are only a few days every year that she can get along with her son day and night.

At other times, the son also has to work hard in his career and work hard for his own life!
Xu Haibao, who helped carry the luggage into the house, looked at the mother and son who had reunited after a long absence, and said without disturbing too much: "Third Aunt, Xingba, I put the things here. I'm going home first, remember to come to my house for dinner tonight! "

"Bao Wa, come to my house to eat tonight!"

"Third Aunt, you are arguing with me about this! This time in the city, I bought a lot of vegetables, so I have to eat them quickly. If Third Aunt wants to treat guests, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. My parents haven't had a meal for a while. See Xingba, let's get together tonight!"

Although there are some villagers in the village, they have also cultivated vegetable fields in the village.But it was winter, and the villagers had to go to the town to buy the vegetables they ate.This also leads to that sometimes, it is normal to eat seafood on the island, but sparse vegetables are a bit precious.

After handing over the remaining space to the third uncle's family, Xu Haibao also returned to his home.Looking at his mother who was cleaning the house, Xu Haibao also rushed forward and said, "Mom, I'll do this! By the way, I called third uncle and the others to come over for dinner tonight!"

"Okay, you can help clean up the cobwebs! I haven't been in the village for the Spring Festival in the past two years, and the house is full of cobwebs. When I renovate next year, I will paint these corners and look more comfortable!"

"Row!"

On the [-]th of the new year, washing sloppy, Xu Haibao still knows something about preparations for the Spring Festival.While helping his mother clean the house, Xu Haibao also asked, "Where's Dad?"

"Going to visit! It's rare to go back to the village to celebrate the New Year, your father is busy! Today the owner drinks, tomorrow the west will drink, every day someone invites him to drink. I really don't know, what's so good about this wine!"

"This shows that Dad's popularity is good!"

It seems that every wife has an aversion to drinking.But to Xu Haibao, he felt nothing.Although drinking too much alcohol hurt his body, Xu Haibao could clearly feel that his parents' health was obviously much better after he came back.

Even the father was a little surprised last time, saying that his white hair was decreasing, and some even turned black again.In Xu Haibao's view, the gradual improvement of his parents' health has a lot to do with his asking them to replenish the nameless pearl water from time to time.

As he learned more about Wuming Zhushui, Xu Haibao already knew that Wuming Zhushui was very similar to the spirit water in the novel.Ordinary people often drink this kind of spiritual water, which can also play a role in regulating the body and nourishing it.

Just when Xu Haibao was cleaning the house for his mother, lamenting his younger sister who came back together, he didn't know how crazy he was.Looking at the two girls who stepped into the house, Xu Haibao was slightly stunned and said, "Ah Zhu?"

"Brother Haibao, long time no see!"

Xu Qingya, who brought the girl in, seemed a little speechless and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for five years, how do you know she is Ah Zhu?"

Hearing this, Xu Haibao said with a speechless face: "Who stipulated that if you haven't seen her for five years, you won't be able to recognize her? Although Azhu also changed her age, she can't change any more. It's just that She's even more beautiful than five years ago! When did you come back?"

The girl in front of her who was dragged to her home by her younger sister is also from the village.He is two years older than Xu Qingya and one year younger than Xu Haibao.However, Xu Haibao and the girl in front of him had both studied together in elementary and junior high school.

"I just came back yesterday! I haven't seen you in five years. Brother Haibao is taller and stronger than before!"

"That's natural! In the army, I exercise every day and eat good food, so it has become like this. By the way, you should graduate now? Your parents are coming back this year too?"

"I graduated last year, and I have been working for more than a year. My parents are just like me. They just came back yesterday. Listen to my grandfather, you don't plan to go to the city next year, and you plan to stay in the village to travel?"

"Well! I have this plan! What? Do you have any good suggestions?"

"What suggestions can I have! I was just thinking, if Brother Haibao starts a company to recruit finance, can he consider me in the future! My grandfather and grandma are getting older, and I plan to spend more time with them in the village."

Hearing what the girl said, Xu Haibao was somewhat surprised and said, "Aren't you planning to go back to work in Haizhou?"

Facing Xu Haibao's question, the girl smiled and said, "If I can find a job in my hometown, I plan to quit my job in Haizhou. The factory where my parents work is not profitable, so they also plan to quit.

If they come back, I will definitely come back too.And my brother just talked about a girlfriend last year, who is from our city, and he plans to hold a wedding reception in the spring of next year.Most importantly, my brother's girlfriend is pregnant, so my mother can't ignore it! "

"Huzi is fast enough! Is he back yet?"

"No! I'm celebrating the New Year at his girlfriend's house this year! His girlfriend is an only child. My parents are almost heartbroken for this marriage. They bought him a house and a car. I don't know what they think of!"

While talking about these things, Xu Haibao's mother also brought out some fruits and tea with a smile: "Azhu, you girl has changed a lot! You'll be fine in the future, come and sit at home more often!"

"Well, thank you, auntie!"

From his mother's slightly deep smile, Xu Haibao was somewhat speechless.To be honest, the girl in front of him was really his childhood sweetheart.However, the two families have rarely seen each other since junior high school.

One basically stays in Haizhou for the New Year, and the other often stays in Baohai for the New Year.Usually, there is not much communication.It may be that the first two families are in the village, but the girl often comes from home to find her younger sister to play with.

Du Yuzhu, a girl who took the college entrance examination with Xu Haibao, but finally passed the Jiangnan University of Finance and Economics.Although her appearance is not very good, Xu Haibao's figure and character are still very good.

Not long after she was seated, Zhu Fen, who is a mother, also said at the right time: "Girl, it's rare for your brother and Ah Zhu to meet, what are you doing here? Go, go to the kitchen to accompany me to pick vegetables, and I'm going to treat you to dinner tonight! Ah Zhu, wait a minute and don't leave!"

"Auntie, no more! My uncle will invite you to dinner tonight, it's all agreed!"

"Ah! That's it! That's fine, then next time I have a chance, remember to come to my aunt's house for a meal."

"Okay!"

Facing his own mother who looked like a daughter-in-law to that girl, Xu Haibao was really speechless.Fortunately, Du Yuzhu was also very cheerful and generous, even if she felt Zhu Fen's enthusiasm with ulterior motives, she didn't say much.

After all, after graduating from college, her parents began to worry about her affairs.Although there has not been a situation of being urged to go on a blind date, Du Yuzhu also knows that when her eldest brother gets married, the focus of her parents will also shift to her.

As for looking for Xu Haibao today, most of them haven't seen each other for some years, and they want to see what Xu Haibao has become after returning from the army.Especially when she learned that Xu Haibao planned to develop tourism in the village, Du Yuzhu was also full of curiosity.

But she had to admit that even if Xu Haibao didn't go to college.But in Du Yuzhu's view, Xu Haibao's character and courage still make her appreciate it very much.After all, how many young people are willing to stay in this increasingly deserted fishing village these days?
