BXBX NOVEL Chapter 690: have a good time
Xu Shiquan looked at the twenty people in front of him and sighed.
You don’t even need to think about it, it must be better days before you can go back to your hometown with your family.
You must know that it is troublesome to come here from Fusong. You have to take a train to Tonghua, then take a bus from Tonghua to Huanren, and then reverse from Huanren to Qingshangou.
There are more than 20 people in this family, needless to say anything else, the fare plus room and board, it’s a lot of money.
Ordinary people, who would be willing to harm money so much?
There are about 20 members of the Xu family, old and young, all dressed better than the average person. Anyway, in Yinkuangzi, I have never seen such a well-dressed person.
And judging from everyone\'s demeanor, it\'s not the kind of special dress for going out, it should be like this in normal life.
Xu Shiquan looked at his relatives who came from afar, and besides being happy, he was also deeply moved.
Perhaps this is the case in life. The uncle couldn\'t live here, so he had to leave with his wife and children.
At that time, many people in the village said that they were also targeted wherever they went like this? Can you still have a good life?
But looking at it now, it is clear that the family is living a good life with their children and grandchildren returning home.
What\'s the old saying? Oh, yes, Homecoming.
"Well, it\'s okay, your brother and the others all have jobs.
Sister-in-law and daughter-in-law are either working or doing business. Anyway, life is okay and they can live on.
Your aunt and I have been thinking about our family all these years.
Why don\'t we take advantage of the children\'s summer vacation and bring them back to have a look and pay homage to my parents. "
Xu Chenghou didn\'t say what his sons did in detail, just vaguely.
It\'s not that the work of the sons is shameful, but that there is no need to show off too much.
The main reason for coming back this time is to settle a concern while the old couple can still move.
Otherwise, if you wait for a few more years, even if you think about it in your heart, you will be too lazy to move around.
Come back to see your hometown, see the people in your hometown, and pay homage to your ancestors, even if you have lost your mind.
In the future, if the sons are interested, they will come back every few years to take a look. If they are really busy with work and cannot spare time, there is no way.
"Oh, oh, that\'s good, I should come back and have a look, no matter what happens, I have to know what my hometown is like."
Xu Shiquan nodded when he heard the words, and didn\'t ask any more questions.
Why ask so many questions? It is their ability to live a good life.
What can he do no matter how much he inquires? How many people can help him?
Although his family is still farming in silver mines, but now that the year is getting better, life can get by, there is no need to cling to anyone.
"How many children are there in your family? The eldest is in his thirties, right? What are those children doing now?"
Xu Chenghou had been sitting in the room for so long, and he didn\'t see any grand-nephews or grand-nieces. He probably wasn\'t at home, so he asked casually.
"My family has four children, the eldest Dahaihe, who was born in the year you left. He is thirty-four this year and works in Dandong.
The second child is a girl named Jin Zhi, who is thirty-one this year and married to Fengcheng a few years ago.
The youngest is twenty-nine years old, didn’t there be educated youths who went to the countryside in our village at that time? Jin Yu met an educated youth.
The educated youth is from Kuandian City. After he returned to the city, he tried to find a way to bring back our gold and jade, and now the couple is fine.
The fourth son, Hai Run, was twenty-six. After graduating from high school, his brother-in-law helped him and went to Nongkuandian city.
I just started as an apprentice, and now I have become a regular worker.
Speaking of which, the children are fine. "
Bringing the four children, Xu Shiquan spoke with a little pride.
Yinkuangzi is such a poor and remote place, the four children of his family have all gone out, and none of them stayed in the valley to farm, which is quite good.
As for whether life is good or bad, that is a personal matter.
Parents can only be raised from childhood to adulthood, and the rest depends entirely on the individual.
Xu Chenghou nodded after hearing this.
"Okay, okay, that\'s great.
Our old Xu’s family has been farming here for several lifetimes since they moved here from Dengzhou Prefecture. "
As an elder, Xu Chenghou was really happy to learn that the younger generations of the Xu family had their own homes.
How to say, Shijiagou is really not a good place, as long as you can leave this small valley and go out, you can always create a world, which is better than farming at home.
"Yeah, I don\'t expect anything in my life, I just hope that the children will be well, and that they will do well.
Uncle, Auntie, it’s rare for you to come back, and you have to stay at home at night.
Children, mother, hurry up, kill two chickens, and stew chickens for uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters to eat at night. "
Ordinarily, this kinship is not too far away, and the fifth server has not yet been released.
That is, the Northeast, which does not pay so much attention to clan relations. If it is placed among the big clans in the south, it will be regarded as a close relationship.
The relatives who are serious come back, so why not treat them well? Killing chickens to entertain guests is a must.
"Oh, no, no, we don\'t eat at home.
Nephew and daughter-in-law, don’t be busy, we just come back to sit and see you.
Tomorrow morning we will come back to visit the grave, and we will not stay here for a long time. We are all at work, so please do not come down for a few days off. "
Xu Chenghou heard this and hurriedly stopped him.
Just kidding, there are more than 20 people in their big family, how can they stay for dinner? How much food is enough for that?
It was agreed when they came that they would either go to Qingshangou Township or live in Huanren City at night.
If three or five people come back, it will be easy to say.
There are more than twenty people, young and old, how thick-skinned is it to eat and drink in other people\'s houses?
"Uncle, you look down on your eldest nephew, don\'t you?
Even if your eldest nephew\'s life is a little bit worse, he can\'t even afford a meal, right?
I can tell you, if someone leaves today, I will not be happy. "
When Xu Shiquan heard this, was it okay? I was anxious at that time.
Northeast people are like this, regardless of whether the family is rich or poor, they can\'t do errands.
My relatives come back from a long distance, if they don’t stay for a meal, the neighbors will have to poke his back when they go out, what’s the deal?
Xu Chenghou was about to say something, when suddenly he heard the dog outside barking again.
Then, someone spoke loudly outside.
"Uncle Xu, is your house a visitor? Where did you come from?
Good guy, this is a big show, five cars are parked at Mizoguchi.
There are sedan chairs and jeeps, where is this a big cadre? "The man outside had a loud voice, yelling as he stood at the gate.
Xu Shiquan was stunned for a moment, and then looked at brother Xu Shixian opposite.
Did you drive back? Don\'t you take a bus by train?
God, this is not an ordinary person, is it a sedan chair or a jeep?
"Uncle, are the younger brothers driving back?"
Xu Shiquan quickly winked at his daughter-in-law and asked her to go out and see who was outside.
"Boss, where did you park your car? Didn\'t you just park on the road?
Don’t block the way and make things difficult for others. "
Xu Chenghou didn\'t answer his nephew\'s question directly, but instead turned to ask his sons.
"Dad, how could we do that, there is an open space just across the mouth of the ditch, and we parked the car there."
Brother Xu Shixian quickly explained.
