My village can't be like this

Chapter 143

Since the heavy snowfall, the weather has been getting better every day.

Now these few days are sunny and sunny, and the spring is shining brightly. It is a good time for everyone to go out for an outing.

On the first day of the new year, the village originally only wanted to hold a random gathering to make the villagers themselves lively.

But I didn't expect that the wrong attack would attract people from the nearby villages, and even a lot of people from the town came.

So the old man decided, since it was done and there were still so many people, he would hold a big gathering in a serious manner.

Let's take a good look at the ten miles and eight villages nearby. The Changqing Brigade, which was prosperous in the past, is now getting better again.

The former Changqing Brigade was considered the largest group in the nearby brigades, and it was no worse than Hongyan Commune.

At that time, the Changqing brigade was able to steal the limelight by relying on the fertile land in the village.

The village has primary and secondary schools, health centers and other facilities, and it almost became a commune.

At that time, after the policy of setting up pilot projects in townships, the Changqing Brigade was still competing with Hongyan Commune for places to set up spots.

It's just that the Hongyan Commune got lucky later, and the pilot project was assigned to them, and it became the current Hongyan Town.

From then on, Changqing began to go downhill, and several village groups also went out independently.

The middle school in the village was also forced to close down due to lack of teachers, leaving only one primary school.

In the following years, everyone felt that the Changqing Brigade had fallen.

That night, the old man consulted with those members of the dragon dance team in the village.

It was decided to engage in dragon dances in the next few days, and carried out the flower dragons that had been kept in the village for several years.

This alone is not enough, the old man also went to find someone who is good at playing with lanterns.

When preparing for the dragon dance, there will be another lantern show.

This posture is getting bigger and bigger, and it has shocked all the nearby towns and villages.

They all felt very strange that the Changqing Brigade, which had been quiet in previous years, suddenly became so prosperous this year.

This is another big gathering, and there is also a dragon dance and a lantern dance. The scene is quite lively.

The last time I saw such a scene was many years ago, before the Changqing brigade was withdrawn.

This is how it is in this era. When they hear there is a big rally, everyone will gather there.

It may be that there are too few entertainment methods in this era, and it is hard for everyone to have a few days of leisure.

It must be thinking of taking advantage of the present to make use of the gene of Chinese people who love to join in the fun.

But in fact, Zhang An couldn't figure out how the news of this era was spread.

Because now is not the future, there are no mobile phones and no Internet.

In this way, relying on the method of person-to-person transmission, it can be spread to far away places, and the transmission speed is very fast.

On the second day of the new year, the arrangement was the same as in previous years.

Zhang Jianguo, as the eldest, called his family members, and the whole family went to the mountain to pay homage to Zhang An's grandparents.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, although many people came to the village, Wang Fang really wanted to stay at home and open the door for business.

But it has been decided long ago that today I will go to Baiyan Town to visit Zhang An's grandmother.

Early in the morning, Wang Fang woke Zhang An up from the bed.

She planned to go there earlier and come back sooner.

In fact, it is not far from Hongyan Town to Baiyan Town, but because the road conditions are relatively poor.

Looking down from the side of the road, there are hundreds of meters high cliffs.

And along the mountain road, there are bends in and out, so there is no way to drive fast.

If you drive fast, you will rush out, no matter how old the driver is.

As long as you get here, even a dragon has to coil up, and a tiger has to lie down.

So Zhang An didn't dare to drive fast at all, so it took a lot of time.

"Xiao An, drive slowly, we are not in a hurry."

Along the way, Wang Fang vaccinated Zhang An as soon as he turned from the county road into the mountain road.

This kind of mountain road, that is, people who are familiar with the local dare to drive.

Change to a master from a big coastal city, looking at the road conditions, you also need to be a Muggle.

If the road conditions are the same as the county road, it will take up to an hour and a half to go back and forth.

Zhang An drove for more than an hour before arriving at Longtoushan Village.

"Hey, isn't this Wang Fang, come and see your old grandma."

As soon as Zhang An's family got out of the car, they heard someone shouting from behind.

Wang Fang looked back and greeted this man happily.

The caller was a woman in her 40s, but Zhang An had no impression of this person.

"Hey, Wang Cui, you guys are back for the New Year too, Xiao An, you should call me Auntie."

While Wang Fang was talking to the woman, she asked Zhang An to call someone.

Hearing Wang Fang calling him, Zhang An had no choice but to call his aunt.

From their conversation, Zhang An learned that this person was also from Longtoushan Village.

It was a playmate who grew up with Wang Fang in the past, named Wang Cui.

In the end, Wang Fang married out, but Wang Cui married in Longtoushan Ben Village.

I have been working outside for several years, and I only come back during the Chinese New Year.

No wonder Zhang An didn't have the slightest impression of this person in his mind.

"This is your son, right? He's grown up, and he's about to get married."

The two haven't seen each other for many years, although they seem to be talking warmly.

But it can also make people feel a strange taste.

"It's grown so big, but it's very disobedient. My daughter-in-law doesn't know where she is."

When locals generally introduce their children in front of others, they mostly talk about business affairs.

But it can also be seen from Wang Fang's face that she is very satisfied with Zhang An.

It would be even more satisfying if she could find a daughter-in-law for her right away.

Knowing that Zhang An's family came to visit the elderly this time, Wang Cui and Wang Fang didn't say much.

The two chatted a few words about homework, and then they said they still had something to do at home and went back.

Before leaving, I told Wang Fang that they would go to her house to sit when they had time later.

Wang Fang also smiled and said to her, it will pass in a while.

After Wang Cui left, Zhang An's family took the things they brought today from the car.

Most of the things I brought today were clothes and shoes that Wang Fang bought for Zhang An's grandmother.

There are also some cooked Huang Jing made by Zhang An himself and some honey.

These are good for the old man's health, so Wang Fang brought some here.

When we arrived at Grandma Zhang An's house, Mrs. Li Chun'e was picking beans.

Seeing Zhang An's family coming, the old lady quickly put down her work and welcomed Zhang An's family into the yard.

"You are here, have you eaten yet?"

When the old lady spoke, her face was full of smiles, and the wrinkles on her face were all squeezed together.

"Mom, we ate it at home, you don't have to do it."

When Wang Fang saw that the old man was about to enter the house to cook for them, she quickly stopped her.

The whole family just came over for dinner in the morning, and it hasn't been long now, so they are not hungry at all.

"Where did my dad go?" Wang Fang didn't see Old Man Wang, so she asked.

"He, I don't know where to go for a drink, and I dare not talk about him, let him go."

For Zhang An, it is fine that old man Wang is not at home.

His old man didn't like Zhang An's family, and Zhang An's father and son didn't like him either.

So it’s good for everyone not to meet each other, and save the atmosphere.

Seeing Zhang An's family coming, those uncles squatted behind the door, covering the door to eavesdrop on their conversation.

If it was before, these people would definitely come out and pretend.

But since they went to Zhang An's house last year, everyone has torn their faces.

So now Wang Fang doesn't have any scruples, and she doesn't have to put on a show for others to see.

They were ashamed to continue pretending to be familiar.

Finally, Wang Fang also took Zhang An's grandmother, and the family went back to the house to talk.

Back in the house, Grandma Zhang An took out the peanuts, melon seeds and persimmon cakes in the cabinet for Zhang An and the others to eat.

"Grandma, you don't need to take it, you see we brought you some from home."

While talking, Zhang An took out the things he brought to show his grandmother.

"Oh, why don't you just stay at home and eat? It's not convenient for you to come all the way, so why bring it here?"

Grandma Zhang An looked at the grandson's family and brought them big and small bags, and pretended to say a few words about them.

"We came here by car, it's very convenient to bring anything."

Zhang An took Huang Jing out and handed it to his grandmother.

"Grandmother, you can eat a little of this every day. You don't need to eat more, just eat a finger and it will be good. This is good for your elderly."

Zhang An brought over ten catties this time, enough for his grandmother to eat for a while.

"Okay, okay, this is Tiger Head Ginger."

Li Chun'e picked it up and smelled it, then told Zhang An.

"Yes, this is tiger head ginger. Eating it is very good for your health. This is what my second grandfather said."

"Don't forget, mother-in-law, remember to eat it every day, and I'll bring it to you after you finish eating."

Being cared by her daughter and her family, the old lady was very happy today, and the smile on her face never stopped.

Then Wang Fang took the old lady to try on clothes and shoes, and if they didn't fit, she would take them back and change them.

But after trying it, Zhang An had to admire his mother's vision.

The few clothes I bought are all suitable, neither big nor small.

Seeing so many clothes, the old lady kept complaining that her daughter spent money indiscriminately.

She can't finish buying so many clothes, it's a waste of money.

"Xiao An is also old now, is there a girl in his fancy?"

When the old lady was free, the first thing she cared about was Zhang An's major life events.

What else could Zhang An say, he nodded and said yes to whatever the old lady said.

Otherwise, how should I answer, the old lady kept saying.

Tell Zhang An to hurry up and marry a daughter-in-law to give him a great-grandson while she still has a few years to live.

It's not that Zhang An doesn't want to get married, the main reason is that the family has introduced a lot of people, and he doesn't even call.

You said that this is a lifetime of rebirth, and you definitely don't want to just find someone to make do with.

No matter what, you have to find someone you can see right, or you will have conflicts sooner or later.

After finally getting this matter out of the way, the old lady asked Wang Fang about the situation at home.

Wang Fang also explained the family affairs to the old lady in detail.

When talking about Zhang An's family building a new three-story house, the old lady's eyes were a little moist.

On the one hand, I am happy for Zhang An's family to live a good life.

On the other hand, because Zhang An's family built a new house, when they moved, none of the natal family hung red cloth.

Thinking of this, the old lady felt bad, and she didn't know what the hearts of her sons were.

"Mom, don't think too much about it. Look at how much we live now. We killed three pigs during the Chinese New Year this year."

Seeing that the old lady was in a depressed mood, Wang Fang hurriedly said other things to distract the old lady.

Finally, I talked about the animals at home, especially Zhang An's flower head.

The old lady clicked her tongue in amazement, she didn't expect her grandson to be a falconer.

When Zhang An got out of the car, he found that Huatou seemed to be following him.

So he went out and looked up into the sky, and blew a whistle.

Sure enough, the flower head flew down from the sky and landed on Zhang An's shoulder.

"Mother, look, this is a flower head."

"Hey, this old kite is so big, we haven't seen such a big one in so many years."

The old lady Li Chun'e looked at the old kite standing on her grandson's shoulder very obediently, and rubbed her head against her grandson's hair.

"It wasn't this big before, maybe it's because it's too lazy, eating and sleeping in the nest every day, so it gained weight."

It may be that Huatou was a little dissatisfied when Zhang An said bad things about it.

But he didn't dare to call loudly, so he could only coo in a low voice, which made people think it was a large pigeon.

Wang Fang didn't tell the old lady about Zhang An's parcel of land.

With so much money, it would be bad if the old lady was frightened.

In the afternoon, the purpose of Zhang An's family coming here was also achieved, so it was time to prepare to go back.

Although the old lady Li Chun'e was reluctant to part with her daughter's family, she really wanted to keep her family here for one night.

But when I thought about it, my own old man and a few unscrupulous sons couldn't get together with the son-in-law's family.

If they stay here, most of them will be unhappy.

The old lady couldn't be the head of the family, so she simply didn't stay.

Although he was reluctant, Wang Fang said that Zhang An bought a car and would come to see her from time to time in the future.

When Zhang An's family went out, the neighbors went behind the door to eavesdrop.

Before leaving, Wang Fang went to Wang Cui's house to have a look.

After all, it was a playmate I grew up with when I was young. Although I haven't seen him for many years, I still want to see him when I meet this time.

Otherwise, people will be behind you. After your family gets rich, you will look down on others, and you will not even want to go in and sit at the door.

Due to the lantern festival and dragon dance held in the village, there are a lot of people during this period.

What Zhang An didn't expect was that Changqing Village was the place where the most people went.

It is not a big river bank, nor a dripping pool.

It is Guanyin Cave. Many people have come to Changqing to play for two days, and they have heard that Guanyin Cave is very spiritual.

So there are a lot of people going to Guanyin Cave these two days, and the road is full of people coming and going.

Moreover, many people don't know the way, and they even spend money to hire villagers to act as tour guides.

When Zhang An came back from Baiyan Town, he saw many people surrounded by the bridge.

Originally, Zhang An thought that someone had caught a big fish again, so he went home and parked his car.

Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo had been in the car for so long, and the road was not good, so she was a little motion sick.

The two of them rested at home, and Zhang An ran to the river to join in the fun.
