Windy: The leisurely life of the village owner

Chapter 25 Follow-up, Disappointment

After similarly chatting with Xie Heshun about home affairs, the two left after a while.

Finally, we arrived at the last family, the finale—Teacher Xie Huailan.

Xie Huailan is from the same generation as their parents, and they are also blood relatives.

The Xie family has a total of three lines in Grandpa Xie Linfeng’s father’s generation.

Xie Linfeng, Xie Zhiyao and Xie Huailan each belong to the same lineage, so their relationship is closer than other villagers named Xie.

At the beginning, Xie Huailan, Xie Linfeng, and Xie Zhiyao's mother were best friends growing up.

That's right, Xie Linfeng's mother and Xie Zhiyao's mother are actually from the village.

Xie Siping, like Xie Linfeng's father Xie Yiwen, both married childhood sweethearts from the same village.

However, Xie Linfeng's mother, like Xie Zhiyao's mother and Xie Huailan, had no elderly people in the family.

After all, living in that war-torn era, not many people could survive and live long.

Just like now, there are only a few long-lived old people in the village, such as Grandpa Yang and Grandma Xie.

The rest are middle-aged and elderly people in their 60s and 80s. There are not many people who can live to [-] or [-] years old.

After all, Yunmiao Village was once a remote primitive village.

Various medical conditions are underdeveloped, and minor illnesses can easily turn into serious illnesses.

And these are the young people in the village who all yearn to work outside.

And, the fundamental reason why other people’s concepts are still stuck decades ago.

Take now, for example. The two of them visited almost the entire village today.

However, I didn’t see many young people at all, and even if I did, they were women who were taking care of their children at home.

Therefore, Xie Linfeng and Xie Zhiyao wanted to develop Yunmiao Village.

This is also one of the main reasons
Xie Huailan, like Xie Heshun, is an old craftsman in the village.

Xie Heshun is a traditional hand carving master, and Xie Huailan is an embroidery master.

Therefore, when the villagers saw the two of them, they called them "teachers."

It is not that they are engaged in the profession of teachers, but it is a respectful name for the craft they possess.

However, perhaps because it was an unlucky day, the two of them did not see Xie Huailan himself when they came over.

Xie Huailan opened an embroidery workshop in the village and taught embroidery to some left-behind women for free.

The output of the embroidery workshop will be purchased at a special sales point in the town.

After all, Xie Huailan's embroidery skills are famous throughout the ancient town and even Nanyun.

Moreover, unlike Xie Heshun's conservative ideas, Xie Huailan is more trendy.

Her embroidery workshop can be said to keep up with the changes in the outside world, and she is even active in live broadcasting and participating in various exhibitions.

Therefore, Xie Huailan is not at home today, which means that she should go out to participate in some exhibition or something.

Sure enough, when the two came to the embroidery workshop and asked, a familiar villager told them that Xie Huailan had gone to Mingkun to participate in an exhibition.

After walking out of the embroidery workshop, the two people who were somewhat "returning disappointed" couldn't help but look at each other.

Xie Zhiyao sighed with some pity: "Hey, I didn't expect it to be such an unfortunate coincidence that Sister Huailan is not in the village!"

Xie Zhiyao and Xie Huilan have been close since childhood, perhaps because Xie Zhiyao's biological mother died early.

In Xie Zhiyao's eyes, Xie Huailan is just like his mother, so kind and amiable!

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but look a little disappointed.He is similar, his predecessor's parents also passed away early, and he inherited the memories and emotions of his predecessor.

Xie Linfeng couldn't help but feel a mother-like dependence on Xie Huailan, a gentle woman.

The reason why the two of them visited Xie Huailan last was precisely because they both placed Xie Huailan in the most important position in their hearts.

Unfortunately, reality is like this. Everything cannot be perfect, and there will always be some shortcomings.

Not being able to see Xie Huailan this time, the two of them felt regretful and had no choice but to give up.

After all, it's impossible for the two of them to go to Mingkun to find her now, right?
"Forget it, it's getting late, let's go back and finish our meal!"

Xie Linfeng was the first to calm down, then looked at the sky that was getting dark and said.

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao nodded slowly and said with a smile:

"Well, the workers in the embroidery workshop said that the lady in my arms will be back tomorrow."

"We'll go for another trip tomorrow afternoon. It's been a long time since we last met. I miss her so much!"

"Yes, long time no see!" Xie Linfeng couldn't help but murmured after hearing this.

Unlike Xie Zhiyao who returns to the village every year, Xie Linfeng is the real one who has not seen Xie Huilan for a "long time".

To be honest, perhaps because of the influence of memories and emotions from his previous life, Xie Linfeng found that he was now more integrated into the world.

Just like now, he really felt regretful about not seeing Xie Huailan in his heart.

Moreover, when he met other familiar villagers before, he also smoothly transformed into his original self.

Perhaps, this is the real fusion, after all, both of them are Xie Linfeng in the final analysis
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Yunmiao Village is less quiet and more noisy and full of human fireworks.

On the way, the faint smell of food came from various houses, making Xie Zhiyao beside him swallow secretly.

He turned to look at Xie Linfeng and said, "Xiaofeng, let's go faster. The smell of this food makes me hungry!"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay, let's go back quickly. Grandma should be anxious too."

"That's right!" Xie Linfeng suddenly thought of something and said:
"I almost forgot about Aunt Hua. I just happened to have a gift that I couldn't send out today. I'll give it to Aunt Hua later!"

"Braised chicken!" When Xie Zhiyao heard Xie Linfeng talking about Aunt Hua, the first thing that came to his mind was braised chicken.

Seeing this, Xie Linfeng was satisfied and couldn't help but laugh and said:
"You know all about braised chicken, and you didn't even notice that we forgot to visit Aunt Hua today?"

"Fortunately, Sister Huailan is not here today, so we have an extra gift."

"Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to go there empty-handed when we go to get the braised chicken!"

Hearing what Xie Linfeng said, Xie Zhiyao's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Indeed, Xie Zhiyao was in charge when determining the number of gifts at home.

The order of previous visits was also determined by Xie Zhiyao.

Therefore, Xie Zhiyao felt a little embarrassed at the moment that he had forgotten Aunt Hua.

Fortunately, the maid in my arms is not at home, so I still have a lot of gifts on hand.

This can be regarded as a mistake. Sure enough, reality always prepares a "surprise" for you when you are disappointed.

Soon, the two of them walked along the main road in the village and arrived at Aunt Hua's Gesanghua Hotel.

After entering the hotel's courtyard door, it was already brightly lit.

After walking into the lobby of the main house, a few strange diners were sitting on a few tables and chairs.

Judging from their clothes, it is obvious that they are not from the village, but more like tourists?
