Grandma Shen's face is kind and calm, and her body looks good. It seems that she is living in the countryside, except that the conditions are more difficult, but she is also doing well.

"Grandma, why do you live here?" Shen Xue asked.

"Xiaoxue, this is your home. If I don't live here, where should I live?"

"You not only have my father as a son, but I also have two uncles! Why don't they take care of you?"

"I can eat, sleep, and do things. I don't need anyone else to take care of me." Grandma Shen said, "Your two uncles are nice people, but your two aunts are not easy to get along with. I feel comfortable living alone. ."

"I knew it! They must not want to see you anymore! They kicked you out." Shen Xu said, "Grandma, come back to the city with me to celebrate the New Year! Don't come back again!"

"That's not possible, Xiaoxue, I promised your grandpa that when I get old, I will go home to take care of him. When I die, I will be buried next to his grave. I have explained everything clearly about my funeral. When you come back, I will give you a message." Grandma just kowtows a few times and that’s it.”

"Grandma! Why do you say this! You are still young! You live to be a hundred years old and you are just middle-aged!" Shen Xue wiped her eyes.

"Okay, don't cry, grandma is not dead yet! Come in and sit down, Wang Lin, you come in too."

"Hey!" Wang Lin dragged his luggage in.

The furnishings in the room were even simpler than Wang Lin imagined.

There are a few bamboo chairs, a wooden table, and two broken cabinets that are so old that the paint is peeling off. Other than that, there is nothing else.

There is electricity in the village, but there is not even a black and white TV set in the house.

Grandma Shen said, "I didn't know you would come back today. I'll go to the butcher Zhang's house in Qiancun to weigh some meat."

"Grandma, don't be busy, I brought back a lot of vegetables." Wang Lin quickly opened his luggage and took out all the pork, beef and mutton he bought.

"Why did you buy so many things? It's too expensive!" Grandma Shen said, "Both of you are paid, so living expenses in the city are high, so you don't need to worry about me."

Wang Lin smiled and said: "Grandma, I have money."

"What a good boy!" Grandma Shen said with a smile, "Since Shen Xue is taken care of by you, I feel relieved to come back and stay for a while. My Shen Xue has a bad temper, so you have to be more considerate of her."

"Grandma, Shen Xue has such a good temper, like a fairy!" Wang Lin looked at Shen Xue.

Shen Xue playfully made a face at him.

Grandma Shen said: "A woman cannot think of herself as a fairy. Once she becomes a fairy, she will drift away. Shen Xue, you are a woman after all. Women have to take care of the housework and have babies. Do you understand?"

"I know, grandma, please stop talking!" Shen Xue said shyly.

Wang Lin said: "You guys chat, I'll make some dishes soon."

Grandma Shen said: "The country uses firewood stoves. I'm afraid you're not used to it, so I'll do it and you guys sit down. Don't worry, I'm not even 70 or 80 yet, and I can still cook! We've all been here this way before. .I am happier living in the country than in the city. There is no need to climb stairs in a house in the country, the air is good, and it is quiet!"

Wang Lindao: "The air is really good, full of oxygen. As soon as I got out of the car, I felt light and relaxed all over my body! It's quiet and really quiet! I can't hear any noise. It's just that the house is too old." "

Grandma Shen said: "This is the condition in the countryside. How many brick houses have been built in the whole village?"

Wang Lin helped put the dishes away in the miscellaneous room.

The miscellaneous room is a separate firewood room, with firewood piled in the corner, and a large stove built with adobe bricks under the wooden window.

Grandma Shen is cooking, using a big-bellied iron pot.

The few adobe houses are neatly tidied up and not as slovenly as other farmhouses.

Wang Lin thought to himself, as expected of the Shen family, even if they live in the countryside, their life is healthier than that of ordinary people.

Shen Xue helped cut some vegetables, but Grandma Shen kicked her out: "Go and accompany Wang Lin, it's not fun for him to be alone."

Wang Lin walked around outside the house. He was very interested in everything in the countryside and planned to go up the mountain to have a look.

Shen Xue came out and saw him staring at the mountain in a daze, so she smiled and said, "You want to go up the mountain?"

"I heard that there are winter bamboo shoots on the mountain, and I want to go look for them." Wang Lin smiled and said, "Do you have a hoe at home?"

"Oh, don't even think about digging winter bamboo shoots! It's so time-consuming." Shen Xue said with a smile, "I see why you like my hometown more than me?"

"Your home is my home." Yang Lin said with a smile, "Your parents have no sons! You have no biological sisters either! Didn't this ancestral home be left to me? This will be my hometown from now on."

These words made Shen Xuefang feel warm in her heart.

Wang Lin couldn't stop himself: "How about we go fishing in the pond in front?"

"Stop running around now! We'll eat later." Shen Xue chuckled, "Is it so fun?"

"Very good!" Wang Lin said, "Shen Xue, let's demolish this old house and build a villa at home. Do you think it's okay? The foundation here is very big. Just leave half of the square footage as a yard. You can build it." It’s a very big villa!”

"Building a villa? In the countryside?" Shen Xue had never thought about this.

Wang Lindao: "Think about it, grandma is definitely not willing to go back to the city. She is only over sixty years old. If she lives to be a hundred, she still has more than thirty years of good life! To put it harshly, even if she can only She still has more than ten years to live until she is eighty years old. You don’t want her to live in this mud house forever in the future, right?"

Shen Xue looked gloomy: "How much will it cost?"

Wang Lindao: "We spent 100,000, but it's enough! Maybe we can't use this much. Building materials and labor are cheap now! It's even cheaper in the countryside! But we can lay a stronger foundation, use more steel and cement, and make the decoration more luxurious.

!I’m not short of money anyway!”

"One hundred thousand?" Shen Xuefang's heart trembled.

Wang Lin smiled and said: "If you want to build the best villa, just build it and decorate it according to the city's decoration. Use bricks to decorate a septic tank and install the city's toilet in the house. Water is a problem! Let me think about it.

How to solve the problem? Let’s build a shaking well and install a pumping water well.

Pump, install a water tower on the roof of the building, pump the water up, and you can solve the domestic water problem. I am a mechanic, I understand this, this will definitely work! The building does not need to be too high, just build a three-story building

Let's build a main room on each floor, and then build a three-bedroom and two-living room..."

Shen Xue listened to what he said so eloquently and planned the future, as if there was really a villa rising from the ground in front of her!

She was moved in her heart, knowing that Wang Lin thought so because of her, so she reached out and held his hand.

At this time, there was a shout on the way: "Shen Xue is back?"

"Second uncle! Second aunt!" Shen Xue looked at the visitor, shouted, and at the same time let go of Wang Lin's hand.

The two middle-aged farmers came over, and the woman smiled and said: "Aunt Six told me that you were back, but I still didn't believe it! You came back just in time, and you paid back the fifty yuan your grandma owed my family.
