Chapter 87 Homecoming
In the early morning of the 29th year, the weather was cold and sunny.

After Wu Tao got up and had a hearty breakfast, the family nanny, Sister Zhang, came to pay New Year's greetings in advance. He handed out a red envelope and said, "Sister Zhang has worked hard for the past six months."

Sister Zhang waved her hands again and again and said, "That's not acceptable. Miss Su has already given me a red envelope, so I can't ask for it anymore."

Wu Tao stuffed the red envelope into the opponent's hand and said, "She will count hers, and I will count mine. By the way, where is she?"

Sister Zhang accepted it gratefully and said, "Miss Su got up early in the morning and is now looking for new year's goods in the yard..."

Wu Tao walked out of the villa and saw that the trunks of the three cars at the door were full of all kinds of expensive gifts.Seeing Wu Tao was speechless for a long time, Su Tongqiao's face was full of anxiety and authenticity: "Tao, look at all these new year's goods, what's missing?"

"You have prepared so much, be careful that my mother says you are a prodigal!"

"Ah?" Su Tong was shocked and said: "Really, what should I do? I think I need all these gifts, and I can't do without any of them..."

Wu Tao saw that she was frightened like this, and immediately changed his words: "It makes you nervous, I'm joking, you can't even tell?"

Su Tong punched him angrily and said, "You know that people are most nervous about this matter, but you just joke about it!"

Just then, a military jeep slowly stopped at the door.Dressed in formal attire, the handsome and fair Ye Huan jumped out of the car and cupped his hands, "Brother Wu, sister-in-law, brothers are here to wish you New Year's greetings. It looks like it's not too late!"

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Wu Tao narrowed his eyes and said.

Ye Huan opened the trunk and said, "Brother Wu, as a brother, I should have come to visit the elders a long time ago. But since it's the first time my sister-in-law visits the door this year, it's inappropriate for me to bother you. There are hatchback Moutai here and six packs of special cigarettes. You Take them back to honor our dad, take these two boxes of caterpillar fungus, take them back to honor our mother."

Wu Tao squinted his eyes and said, "Why do I feel that this gift from you is a conspiracy? When I send it back to your parents in the future, will I have to pay a higher price?"

"Hey, brother is here to cheat! If you must think so, I can only say that you are so right!"

"Get out!" Wu Tao said as if to kick.

Ye Huan jumped away and said, "Then do you want this gift? I see my sister-in-law has stuffed the trunk of the car."

"Yes! Don't want nothing!"

At nine o'clock sharp, the convoy officially set off.Wu Tao's hometown is also in this province, which is the least developed city, Subei City.Of course, as a prefecture-level city in the eastern region, even if it is at the bottom of the province, it is still much more developed than many cities in the west.

Subei is about two hours' drive from Ning'an, but it's not too far away.Just because there is no high-speed rail, the traffic is considered the most inconvenient prefecture-level city in the whole province.

There are still some unmelted white snow scattered on both sides of the highway, and some uncovered wheat seedlings are occasionally exposed, which is not so monotonous.

But in the car at this time, Su Tong was in no mood to appreciate all this.She moved restlessly, almost writing the words 'I'm nervous' on her pretty face.

"Tao, do you think it's okay for me to wear this dress to see my uncle and aunt today?"

Wu Tao took a serious look and said: "It's not surprising that an ugly daughter-in-law is nervous when she sees her in-laws. My dear, you are so beautiful, why are you so nervous?"

Su Tong nudged Nu Qiong's nose and said, "Although I like to hear these words, I don't have any constructive suggestions. Come on, what's the matter?"

Wu Tao immediately lost to her and said, "Okay, very good!"

"But, will it be a little more gorgeous? What if your parents think that I am not simple enough, that I am not a good daughter-in-law who manages the house?"

……

Not long after, Su Tong asked again: "Tao, do you think uncle and aunt will come out to welcome us?"

"Of course!" Wu Tao said casually, "In the past, every time I went home, my mother would wait at the head of the village, no matter how late."

"Auntie is so loving..."

"Tong, get up so early today to prepare, the road is still long, you can sleep peacefully for a while, and you will be there when you wake up."

"But I'm not sleepy at all."

"It seems that last night's torment was not enough..."

"Hate!"

Perhaps it was because the New Year was approaching to relax, Wu Tao leaned on the comfortable seat and fell asleep unconsciously.Until he was woken up by Su Tong and said, "Tao, look quickly, I didn't expect the New Year's atmosphere in Subei City to be so strong, and the roadside is full of colorful flags!"

Wu Tao opened his sleepy eyes and vaguely found that the convoy had turned onto a brand new asphalt road.Colorful flags fluttered on both sides of the road and lanterns hung high.Take a closer look, isn't this the asphalt road in the township where my hometown is?

Suddenly, the convoy stopped slowly.There seemed to be a team of traffic police in brand new uniforms ahead, blocking the convoy.

Could it be that the team violated the rules?Wu Tao was puzzled, and after negotiating with the other party, Fang Yong trotted over to report: "Mr. Wu, there is a team of traffic police comrades ahead, please open the way for us."

"what's the situation?"

"It is said that it is a special ceremony for welcoming you in the city."

Anyway, he was about to get home, Wu Tao waved his hand casually and said, "Let them open the way, but you all be careful."

"Yes!"

Afterwards, a six-member traffic police motorcycle team drove towards Sanxian Village in front, left, right, and rear of the team.

The loud and long alarm bell rang suddenly, and the villagers on both sides of the road showed their heads one after another, discussing: "The police car cleared the way, which big leader is here to inspect?"

"Hey, you don't know yet, do you? Wu Tao from Sanxian Village is going home to celebrate the New Year today. I heard that all the leaders of the city are here!"

"Old Wu's son, I heard he's promising a lot outside!"

"Yeah, Guangzong Yaozu, return to the homeland!"

"Go, take a look..."

In a blink of an eye, the convoy arrived at the head of Sanxian Village.I saw a crowd of people in front of me, a lively scene.After the convoy stopped, the sound of gongs and drums at the head of the village immediately rang.

Pushing open the car door, father Wu Fulai and mother Zhang Cuilan have already greeted them.

"Dad, Mom, why are you carrying big red flowers? What's going on?"

Wu Fulai said proudly: "This is a welcome ceremony specially organized by the leaders of the city to welcome you. Tao, this time you are a glorious ancestor, and you have made our old Wu family proud!"

It turned out to be like this, no wonder the colorful flags fluttered along the way and the lanterns hung high.For a while, Wu Tao couldn't help but be filled with pride when he saw the happy smiles on his parents' faces.

Zhang Cuilan stared at Su Tong and said, "Tao, this is our future daughter-in-law Tongtong, right?"

"Oh, Dad, Mom, this is Su Tong, my girlfriend."

Su Tong hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects, and said generously, "Uncle, Aunt, hello." That gentle and obedient demeanor, and his vigorous and resolute style in the company, were completely different.

Saying that Su Tong took Zhang Cuilan's arm intimately, Wu Tao was pulled by his father and said, "Tao, come with me, I will take you to meet the leaders from the city, you have to be careful."

"Understood, Dad, I have a measure."
