Xiang Wan nodded repeatedly.

After Xiang Xiong carried the bath water into the toilet, Xiang Wan took a comfortable bath, called Xiang Xiong when he came out, and then went back to the room to sleep.

The next morning, Xiang Wan was awakened by the sound of voices outside. After getting dressed and pushing out the door, he saw an old woman in her fifties or sixties standing in the yard. Although her clothes were patched, she was still

He is extremely clean, has a kind face, and looks like a person who is easy to get along with.

The old woman heard the noise and looked over. When she saw Xiang Wan, her eyes lit up. She quickly walked up to her and said with a kind expression: "You are Xiao Wan, right? You are really beautiful, as good-looking as your mother, both fair and white.

.”

"Aunt Ying, she is my daughter Xiao Wan," Xiang Xiong introduced to Wan: "This is the wife of your village chief grandfather, you can just call her Grandma Ying."

Xiao Wan smiled sweetly at Lu Ying: "Hello, Grandma Ying."

"Oh, you're so good, grandma treats you to some sweets."

Looking at the fruit candy in the palm of his hand, Xiang Wan was stunned for a moment, then took it in his hand with a smile: "Thank you, Grandma Ying."

Lu Ying looked around the yard and said to Xiang Xiong: "Your uncle had some time ago to repair this yard with the villagers. You said it was a coincidence. Just after the repairs were completed, I heard that you were coming back."

"Isn't it because Xiaowan is so old that he hasn't been back to his hometown yet? It just so happens that I have time during the summer vacation, so I brought him back to have a look."

Lu Ying's loving eyes fell on Xiang Wan, and he said with a smile: "Your girl is very good-looking, and she is nothing like you. I remember you were dark and dark when you were a child. Fortunately, Xiao Wan looks like her mother. There has never been such a beautiful girl in our village."

As for the girl, Xiang Zi, please take Xiao Wan to your house for dinner tonight. Your uncle has gone to town to buy meat and will prepare something delicious for you tonight."

Xiang Xiong smiled honestly: "Even if my aunt didn't tell me, I would still take my daughter home for dinner. This time I came back with daily necessities and no food at all."

Lu Ying's smile deepened: "That's fine, that's fine. We are all family members. I'm just annoyed by your previous politeness."

When Xiang Xiong was a child, he was nicknamed "Skinned Monkey". At that time, he would go up the mountain to dig out bird's nests and go down to the river to fish and catch shrimps. Whenever he was beaten at home, he would run to the village chief's house to hide. The village chief was a man of culture and his ancestors had

There is a scholar who once taught Xiang Xiong how to read and write when he was young. Even when Xiang Xiong wanted to learn to drive a truck, he personally went to the town to pay and find someone to teach Xiang Xiong.

It can be said that Xiang Xiong's previous achievements were all due to the support of the village chief and his family, without asking for anything in return, because the village chief's son fell into the water one winter and was rescued by Xiang Xiong's father.

In the past, Xiang Xiong drove a truck and helped the village haul things every time he passed by the village. He often visited the village chief's family with large and small bags of nutrition, until Xiang Xiong's car accident.

"Okay, I'm just coming over to take a look. If there's anything else I need to buy at home, just tell my aunt. Remember to come home for dinner later. I'll go back first."

"Grandma Ying, walk slowly."

The father and daughter sent Lu Ying to the gate, and then returned to the yard.

"There is hot water in the kitchen. Go wash your face and brush your teeth. We will go to the village chief's house for lunch. Dad will take you to the village for a nice tour later."

Xiang Wan smiled and nodded.

It was only nine o'clock in the morning. After Xiang Wan packed up, he followed Xiang Xiong to the village for a walk.

In summer, the countryside is full of greenery. Many big trees are planted in the village. The mothers-in-law and grandfathers in the village are enjoying the shade under the big trees and talking. When they see the father and daughter walking over, they all say hello to Xiong.

"Xiangzi, are you back? Oh, this little girl is your daughter, right? She is as pretty as a New Year painting doll."

Xiang Xiong responded one by one with a smile on his face: "Yes, it's my daughter. It's her first time back. Let's take her around."

The old lady smiled and nodded.

After the father and daughter left, several people sat around and praised Xiang Wan in a low voice.

"This is our hometown, how is it? The environment is good, right? Your village chief grandfather often organizes the villagers to clean up the weeds on the roadside, as well as the few trees we just passed by. They were all hired by your village chief grandfather.

The land he planted and the land in the village used to be wasteland, and he led the people to open it up."

Xiang Wan looked in the direction pointed by Xiang Xiong. This was the path in the village. The left side led to the mountains and land, and the right side led to the village entrance and village committee.

I think about the countryside in the past life, which has been completely commercialized, and there are very few people farming. Unlike now, everything is full of vitality, and farmers are sweating in the fields and reaping the fruits next year.

Xiang Wan followed Xiang Xiong towards the mountain. While Xiang Xiong was talking to the local people, Xiang Wan looked around, his eyes fixed on the direction of the mountain, his eyes full of anticipation for the mountain.

"Daughter, daughter, let's go."

Xiang Wan comes back to his senses and is busy.

After the two of them returned home, Xiang Xiong ran to the bathroom to clean up the debris inside, then went outside to pick out a basket of stones, and covered the entire bathing area with stones.

"Dad, what are you doing with this shop?"

Xiang Xiong kept holding his hands and said cheerfully: "I'm afraid you are not used to bathing. The countryside is no better than the city. It's all muddy. The water will make your feet wet and dirty. It's better to throw pebbles on them."

What he said was full of love for his daughter.

With a smile in his eyes, Xiang Wan no longer disturbed Xiang Xiong's work. He walked to the house where Xiang Xiong lived, folded the clothes he piled on the stool and put them into the closet, and then neatly placed some sundries in the corner.

"Daughter, it's almost time. Let's go there. We're going to eat at someone else's house. It's not good to be late."

Xiang Wan had just tidied up the room when he heard Xiang Xiong's shout outside and hurriedly walked out.

The two of them walked to the village chief's house carrying the things they brought from Beishi. As soon as they reached the door of the house, they heard Lu Ying's shouting in the house.

"Xiangzi Xiaowan is here, go and sit in the room, your uncle is waiting for you in the room," Lu Ting walked out of the kitchen with a handful of water and said to the two of them with a smile.

Xiang Xiong responded with a smile and led Xiang Wan into the main room.

There were three men in the main room. One of them was an old man, about sixty years old, who must be the village chief Qi Fu, and the other two men in their thirties and forties must be his two sons.

Xiang Wan silently observed the three of them, met the old man's eyes, and was not afraid to see his serious expression. He smiled sweetly at him: "Hello, Grandpa Qi."

The village chief was obviously stunned for a moment. He paused for a moment while holding the cigarette, and nodded with a smile: "You must be Xiaowan, right? Your father will mention you every time he comes back. He talks a lot, haha."

"No, Xiang Zi couldn't stop talking about Xiao Wan. By the way, Xiang Zi, I heard your leg was injured. Is it better?" Qi Fu's eldest son Qi Donghe looked at Xiang Xiong.

On the legs.

"I have been undergoing treatment and it is working. I will continue to have acupuncture when I go back. Don't worry."

As soon as Xiang Xiong finished speaking, he heard Qi Fu snort coldly, looked at Xiang Xiong expressionlessly and said coldly: "Such a big thing happened, and you didn't tell your family. How long has it been?

If your aunt hadn't asked the Deng family's youngest son this morning, we wouldn't even know."
