Chapter 71 Recalling the glorious past

After the end of SARS, Zhang Shaoping, Zhang Shaoan, Yuan Xiaoxia, An Yuran and his group boarded the train and prepared to return to their hometown.

Before leaving, Zhou Mengyao repeatedly dissuaded Zhang Shaoan and told him not to leave and stay in Guangdong to develop with her. However, after Shaoan experienced this SARS, he realized that the most important thing for him was not making money, but his beloved woman Yuan Xiaoxia, who could no longer bear to be in the same place with her.

In this way, the four of them reluctantly bid farewell to the city because the city brought them too many emotions and experiences that they could not give up.

When the four of them returned to their hometown, they were deeply attracted by everything in their hometown. Although they were not as prosperous as big cities and the freshness brought to them by big cities, they had a different sense of intimacy. This feeling was probably the feeling of a wanderer returning home.

After getting off the train, An Yuran and Zhang Shaoping did not rush home, but went to see his father-in-law An Guobang as soon as possible. Zhang Shaoan and Yuan Xiaoxia were embarrassed to join in the fun with them. In addition, Yuan Xiaoxia had not been home for a long time and did not know how the situation was at home, so the four of them had to go in groups.

Zhang Shaoan and Yuan Xiaoxia bought some snacks and fruits in a department store in the county. After paying, they walked towards the bus station. They bought two bus tickets to Bangbangtun, and soon they took the bus to Bangbangtun.

When Zhang Shaoan accompanied Yuan Xiaoxia to Bangbangtun in a bus, everything here was still the same as before. The crowing of chickens and barking of dogs mixed with the sound of people coming and going, making the whole Bangbangtun look full of vitality.

When they walked to the door of their house in a hurry, they saw Yuan Jie taking his younger brother and sister to cook fire for pig food and preparing for feeding animals through the fence.

Yuan Xiaoxia shouted at Yuan Jie and said, "Xiaojie, sister is back."

After hearing the sound, Yuan Jie looked in the direction of the sound and saw his sister Yuan Xiaoxia at a glance. He hurriedly stood up, smiled at his sister, and said, "Sister, you are back, you are finally back."

Yuan Xiaoxia and Zhang Shaoan walked over, and Yuan Xiaoxia hurriedly said to Yuan Jie: "Xiaojie, how are your family doing after you leave? Are grandma and dad in good health? By the way, how are you and your younger brother and sister living at home?"

"Sister, it's all good, it's just... just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that my younger brothers and sisters always think about you, and grandma often says your name."

"Sister misses you too, and everyone in this family!"

Zhang Shaoan then said to Yuan Jie: "Yes! You all miss your sister, but you don't want Brother Shaoan anymore. I still want to bring you some delicious food."

Yuan Jie smiled with a blushing face, touched his head, and said, "Brother Shaoan, what you said, of course, I think about it, but the one who misses you the most should be my sister, so I didn't dare to say it, otherwise I would be afraid that my sister would be jealous again."

"Okay, okay, okay, who did you learn these from? Why are you so slick and slick!"

"Brother Shaoan, do you still need to learn this? What I am talking about is the fact, otherwise how could my sister go to Guangdong to find you regardless of the danger of her life? Are you saying what I am right?"

Zhang Shaoan looked at Yuan Xiaoxia, smiled at Yuan Jie, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Xiaojie is right. Your sister and I are considered a disaster and will have a blessing."

"By the way, Brother Shaoan, when will you go out again when you come back this time? And when will you and my sister get married?" Yuan Jie asked afterwards.

As soon as Yuan Jie finished speaking, Yuan Xiaoxia hurriedly said, "Xiaojie, why do you have so many reasons? You should go and read books and do your homework quickly! Otherwise, your teacher will have to call me again if the grades are not good at that time."

Zhang Shaoan looked at Yuan Xiaoxia, and said kindly in front of all her younger brothers and sisters: "Xiaoxia, Xiaojie is right. I won't leave when I come back this time. Why should I consider getting married?"

"Shaoan, why are you just following Xiaojie to mess around! If you don't go to Guangdong, won't you regret it? That's not..."

"Xiaoxia, after this SARS, I know what is most important to me. I think you are the most important person in my heart. I don't plan to go back again when I come back this time. I have found a way out. I want to take good care of you for the rest of my life and never be separated for the rest of my life."

"Shaoan, even if you don't go back, can your dad agree to the marriage between us?"

"Yes, Xiaoxia, they will definitely agree. We will go to Zhangjia Village to see their two elders later. Do you think it's okay?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xiaoxia nodded shyly and agreed to Zhang Shaoan's decision.

After hearing this, Yuan Jie and his brothers and sisters standing by, they were all happy for their sister Yuan Xiaoxia.

After lunch, Zhang Shaoan and Yuan Xiaoxia held hands and smiled and walked towards Zhangjia Village. Along the way, they looked at me and I looked at you, with smiles on their faces, talking and laughing under the bright sunshine.

When they came to Zhangjia Village and walked to their own doorstep, Yuan Xiaoxia hesitated a little. She was afraid that Shaoan's parents would reject her or not welcome her.

She began to feel a little restless. Zhang Shaoan knew what she was worried about and reached out to hold her palm tightly. I wonder if she was too nervous or afraid. Her palms were covered with sweat. However, when Shaoan looked at her with trust, the tension in her heart slowed down a little.

When the two of them walked into the yard, they saw grandpa Zhang Youcai sitting on the stone steps leisurely smoking a dry cigarette and basking in the sun, mother Li Jianmei was feeding chicks alone in the yard, and father Zhang Fugui was watching TV series in the house.

Zhang Shaoan called Zhang Youcai affectionately, "Grandpa". Li Jianmei turned her head and looked at the familiar voice. Zhang Fugui, who was sitting in the house watching TV series, hurried out after hearing this.

Zhang Youcai said to Zhang Shaoan in an old and powerless voice: "An An, An An, are you back? Where have you been during this period? Why can't grandpa see you?"

"Grandpa, I just came back from Guangdong! Sorry, I'm always worried about you."

After Zhang Shaoan finished speaking, he looked up at his father Zhang Fugui standing outside the door and his mother Li Jianmei who was feeding chickens in the yard. He said in a kind voice: "Dad, mom, Shaoan is back."

After seeing this, Li Jianmei pursed her lips and tears rolled in her eyes. After all, she hadn't seen her son Zhang Shaoan for a long time. Therefore, as a mother, her heart was full of excitement, which made her eyes full of joy.

When Zhang Fugui saw his son Zhang Shaoan, as a father, his thoughts about Shaoan were not inferior to those of the woman Li Jianmei, but he did not reveal them. He held all these thoughts in his heart, but just responded softly to Shaoan.

Zhang Shaoan led Yuan Xiaoxia to the house. Li Jianmei excitedly put down her work and rushed to the kitchen to cook. This is a great mother. When she met her son again after a long separation, she was not asking about her well-being, but just thinking about making a few hometown dishes for her son and letting him eat.

When Zhang Shaoan and Yuan Xiaoxia walked into the room and sat on the sofa, Zhang Fugui also sat on the sofa. Originally, Yuan Xiaoxia thought that Shaoan's father Zhang Fugui would not welcome her, but now it seems that her thoughts are redundant.

Zhang Fugui continued to watch the TV series and said nothing. Seeing that his father Zhang Fugui had nothing to say to him, Zhang Shaoan hurriedly said, "Dad, I brought Xiaoxia to our house today to talk to you. Xiaoxia and I are going to get married, so I want to get your blessing."

Zhang Fugui ignored him and continued to watch the TV series. Yuan Xiaoxia, who was sitting beside him, began to feel a little nervous. She was afraid that Zhang Fugui would not agree to the two of them being together, so she began to feel panic.

Seeing that his father Zhang Fugui said nothing, Zhang Shaoan continued, "Dad, I really like Xiaoxia, and Xiaoxia really likes me. You promised us!"

Zhang Fugui's stiff expression suddenly sootheed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "You kid, why are you anxious? Dad didn't say he didn't agree."

"Dad, then do you mean that you agree to Xiaoxia and I get married?"

"Agree, why don't you agree? Dad has no reason to object to you both!"

Yuan Xiaoxia was very excited after hearing this. She didn't know why Shaoan's father Zhang Fugui agreed to the marriage between them, but she was happy about it. After all, marriages without the blessings of their parents are unhappy. At this moment, Zhang Fugui agreed to the marriage between them, which means that their marriage was blessed by their parents.

Just as Zhang Shaoan and Yuan Xiaoxia were excited, Zhang Fugui said to Zhang Shaoan: "Boy, why are you so excited? Dad is not an unreasonable person. Dad didn't agree with you being together before that was because..., so don't mind."

"Dad, don't mind, don't mind."

You kid, what do you dare to mind? I am your father. Zhang Fugui smiled and said to Yuan Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia! I didn't agree with your marriage before, so don't take it to heart! After all, I am Shaoan's father, so I have to think more about him for the rest of his life. I hope you can understand."

"Uncle, I can understand, I can understand."

OK, OK, OK, just understand. Zhang Fugui continued to smile and said, "Xiaoxia, in fact, part of the reason why Uncle agreed to your marriage is still you! This time, you went to Guangdong to find Shaoan despite the danger of your life. I knew that you were sincere to Shaoan. That is, at that time, you changed my view of you."
