Chapter 225. Homecoming
Lin Yi's hometown is in Tanghe County, and is a very old town, only more than 100 kilometers away from Nandu City.
When he heard that Lin Yi was going back to his hometown, Cao Yidao immediately posted it up and said that he would follow Lin Yi back to see him no matter what. He was all brothers who were worshipping him. He said that he would also go back to see "our mother".
Lin Yi said, during the Chinese New Year, why don’t you follow your wife to visit relatives, why are you doing here?
Lao Cao said, it was because his wife was always at home during the Chinese New Year that he wanted to run outside. You don’t know, if his wife is at home, she is a tiger at home. She doesn’t care about it, but she also thinks about it every day to bother me...
After hearing what Lao Cao said was so miserable, Lin Yi was embarrassed to refuse. Lao Cao started buying things and gifts, imagining how to follow Lin Yi back to give his "godmother" a good impression.
However, what surprised Lin Yi was that when he heard that Lin Yi was going to Nantang County, Teacher Huang took the initiative to find Lin Yi and said only: "I'll go too."
There is a reason why Teacher Huang wants to go back to his hometown with Lin Yi. First, he owes Lin Yi a favor and has long regarded himself as Lin Yi's personal bodyguard and driver. Second, his paralyzed mother was taken back by a distant relative for the New Year. As the saying goes, no one is asked about poverty in the downtown area, and no one is asking about wealth in the mountains. Third, Lao Huang has nowhere to go during the New Year, so it would be better to follow Lin Yi back to his hometown to lively.
...
Originally, Lao Huang was Lin Yi's full-time driver, but with Lao Cao, he directly stole his limelight. The reason is that Lao Cao likes driving very much, especially Lin Yi's Land Rover.
Especially in the heavy snow, Land Rover is so excited to get crazy. It looks endless in front and snow waves rolling behind, making Lao Cao almost.
Poor Lin Yi and Huang, both of them were sitting in the car and did not dare to move. Huang thought he was crazy enough to drive, but he was obviously one shorter than Lao Cao's 25.
Fortunately, when he was on the road, there were more vehicles and the road was too slippery and difficult to walk. Cao Yidao finally suppressed his wildness and excitement and began to take the steady route. The car drove a little slower, which made Lin Yi and Huang feel much more at ease. You know, the person who took the bus was safe.
...
The cold wind whistled along the way, the snow fluttered, and the atmosphere of the New Year was everywhere.
As the saying goes, the timid feeling of being close to the hometown is that Lin Yi has not been home for two or three years. The young boy who was full of energy and wanted to leave the county town to make a lot of money has grown up. He is no longer a young boy who is new to the cottage, nor is he a little boy who likes to cry. When he thinks that he will soon meet his mother and those familiar relatives, Lin Yi feels a little hot.
People say that the greatest beauty in life is returning home in glory.
Lin Yi didn't know if he was like this, but in the county and countryside, his current wealth was jealous and extremely prosperous.
The Land Rover is on the county road, and then turns to the bumpy mud in the countryside.
Due to the snow, the snow mud mixed together and became muddy and difficult to move.
Cao Yidao got out of the car from time to time and looked at it, cursing and feeling sorry for the millions of cars, saying that the road was too bad, and the transportation department used by donkey balls didn't care.
The driving speed is fast. In the past, Lin Yi had to take the bus and then take the bus when he got home, first a bus, then a rental, and then a tractor, so that he could get to the door. Now it only took about 2 hours to drive, and then he got to the door.
Afar, in the wind and snow, Lin Yi saw a person standing at the door of his house. The man stood like a stone statue in the wind and snow, with white snowflakes floating on his body; although he couldn't see who it was, Lin Yi knew that it was definitely his mother Zhang Cuihua.
Zhang Cuihua had big arms and round waists. She saw a car driving from a distance. The wind and snow were too strong, making her eyes unable to open. She put her hands on her eyes, not sure if her son was back, but the mother and son were in love, but she couldn't help but meet her.
Cramped, Land Rover stopped in front of Zhang Cuihua, Lin Yi got out of the car, looking at her mother covered in snowflakes and the little white hair on her temples, her heart was hot and hot. She had already said a lot of words in her throat, but she only spit out a word - "Mom".
Zhang Cuihua was already full of words, and had already set it up to go forward to question her son and pinch his ears. Seeing that this bastard is still making noise or not, she will let her come back early and be so slow. Such a big man is not worry-free. But when she saw her son, Zhang Cuihua's fierceness immediately ran away without a trace, and then said, "Be good, you are back."
There was no hug, no tears filled my eyes. Just like that, Zhang Cuihua led the way, walked in front, and Lin Yi followed behind, walking towards the house like a pantomime.
Behind it was wind and snowing, Lao Huang followed him and Lao Cao got on the bus again and started Land Rover, saying, "Where is this car going to park? To be honest, I'm not familiar with this place."
...
In the wind and snow, the old house at home was renovated. It was no longer the adobe bricks and tiles of the past, but became a two-story bungalow, and the main door was also replaced. The original wooden door turned into a brand new iron door.
Needless to say, Lin Yi also knew that his mother, who had been reluctant to eat and wear, must have used the money she sent back to renovate the house. It was difficult for her to arrange it alone, which made him as a son ashamed.
The yard is very spacious, and the snow on the ground has been cleaned. Dozens of chickens are kept in woven nets. Chickens are running happily inside, eating frozen cabbage leaves, and millet sprinkled on the plate with snow water mixed with...
Not far away, there was a pigpen made of stones. Two little pigs were urging in the pig's trough, making Mum's screams.
At the east end of the yard, a large sycamore tree was filled with branches. A gust of wind blew, making a rustling sound of branches, and the covered snow fell to the ground, like a white rain of flowers.
In the cold wind, Lin Yi closed his eyes, and this was the feeling of going home.
...
The main hall of the house was cleaned very clean, with large paintings posted on the front, with red and joyfulness. On the weekend, the three people stood side by side with smiles, with couplets on both sides, "The great cause of thousands of years will last forever, and will be loved by the heroes of a generation." The horizontal banner is, "The blessings and the Rui".
Looking at the floor, it was covered with bricks, slightly uneven, furniture, etc., a large coffee table, four or five wooden chairs, an old long table, and a large color TV was placed on the table. The color TV was the ultra-thin type I bought, which was very large and stylish, and it was very incompatible with the simplicity around it.
Zhang Cuihua was lukewarm to her son Lin Yi, and even ordered him to feed chickens, pigs, and then asked him to pick some vegetables in the greenhouse in the field. However, she was extremely enthusiastic about Lin Yi's friends Cao Yidao and Huang.
In particular, Lao Cao was very concerned about carrying a lot of gifts he bought from the car, saying that these were gifts for his "godmother", such as "nutritional bean powder", "healthy walnut powder", and "dong'e Ejiao"...
Zhang Cuihua liked her and smiled happily, saying that she was interested, but she didn't pay attention to why a "godson" suddenly appeared.
...
Although there are rules for treating guests to tea in the countryside, for the more precious guests, they give them poached eggs, each bowl, and hand the steaming poached eggs to Lao Cao and Lao Huang.
Cao Yidao and Teacher Huang drank a bowl, and Zhang Cuihua asked if it was good to drink. The two of them said it was delicious, especially in the cold weather, which was very comfortable to drink.
"Then let's have another bowl." Zhang Cuihua went to the kitchen very enthusiastically to bring two more bowls.
After drinking three large bowls of candy water and poached eggs in one breath, both of them were almost full of sugar water. Only then did they realize that this was the welcome speech of the country people. If you say it tastes good, you will keep bringing it to you until you say it is almost the same.
After finally waiting for Lin Yi to pick up the vegetables, the three of them gathered together. Now, Zhang Cuihua was not polite. In front of outsiders, she didn't care whether her son was old or not, and she scolded her head. She didn't go back home or call her, and she was like missing. She said that if you hadn't come back early, I would have just touched you and caught you.
Lin Yi knew that the more ruthless the scolding of these words, the more ruthless the mother cared for her.
I also blame myself for feeling unpromising for so many years and I have never had the shame to come back, which made my mother lose her temper.
After scolding his son, Zhang Cuihua asked Cao Yidao and Huang to tea again, and then scolded him again...
This made Cao Yidao and Huang extremely embarrassed. They subconsciously felt like they were watching a show. Aunt Zhang performed this show just to let them watch it.
