Chapter 41 Returning to the Village [[-]]

After agreeing on a time, Peng Qingliang left contentedly, and Xiang Xiong and his daughter looked at each other and smiled.

"I don't know how much tea is left in the mountain. I remember that there is a piece of mountain full of wild tea trees. When I was a child, I often went to pick it with your grandfather. I don't know if it is still there. This time it will only take two or three days. You can come back in time, you stay at home, you can go to school to eat, or you can eat at your aunt's house, in short, you must eat on time and take care of yourself. Dad is not at home, so you must lock the door at night."

Xiang Wan smiled and nodded: "I know, I'm not a child anymore, don't worry, Dad, do you want to buy something for the villagers this time?"

"I will definitely buy it. I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few packs of cigarettes, two bottles of wine, and some melon seeds, peanuts and candies. That's enough."

Seeing that Xiang Xiong had already thought of it, Xiang Wan didn't say any more.

It's summer now, and while Xiang Xiong was out shopping, Xiang Wan went back to the house to pack two sets of clothes for him, and then brought a kettle to fill a pot of mung bean soup when he left the day after tomorrow.

Xiang Wan doesn't know how to make mung bean soup, but he can ask Aunt Fu or Aunt Pei Rong for help, and he can just buy some mung beans tomorrow.

The next day, Xiang Wan went to study early in the morning. When he went downstairs, he happened to meet Fu Cuiju who was out shopping for vegetables. He simply asked her to help buy some mung beans, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to buy them at the vegetable market at noon.

When I arrived at the school, there were not many people in the classroom, so Xiang Wan was flipping through the book, and it was only ten minutes before class that Wu Yan ran in from the outside.

"Xiaowan, why didn't you wait for me? I went to your house and knocked on the door for a long time, but Uncle Xiang was not at home. It was only when I met Aunt Fu that I realized that you left so early."

Xiang Wan was stunned for a moment. When he went out in the morning, he was full of what Xiang Xiong had left to clean up. He completely forgot to wait for Wu Yan.

Now being asked, Xiang Wan had no choice but to tell the truth: "My dad is going back to his hometown tomorrow. I was only thinking about what he had to prepare this morning, so I forgot to wait for you. I'm sorry."

Wu Yan waved her hand indifferently: "Why are you saying sorry? If you didn't wait, you didn't wait. Fortunately, you didn't wait for me. I got up late today. My parents didn't call me when they went out in the morning. If you waited for me If you don’t, you have to run to school with me, I’m hot and tired, ouch, I’m sweating all over, it’s so hot.”

Xiang Wan felt embarrassed at first, so he picked up the textbook and fanned Wu Yan, shaking his arms while saying, "Next time I will definitely go up and call you, class will start soon, why don't you go wash your face in cold water?"

"Don't go, I'm so tired," said Wu Yan, lying directly on the desk, and continued to ask: "What are you doing back to your hometown, Uncle Xiang? Isn't there no one to cook for you after he left? How about you Go to my house to eat, my mother liked the schoolbag that Uncle Xiang made for me last time, and she even asked me to buy you a soda."

"Your mother doesn't object to your dating with me?"

Wu Yan was directly stopped by the question, she blinked her eyes and said: "Hey, it's not that you don't know my mother, she is just like that, and she can run faster than anyone else when it comes to good things. To be realistic, let's talk about the recent apartment building. All the mothers-in-law here said that you have become better and know how to greet people."

Xiang Wan never cared about those people's opinions, and the reason why he greeted him was because he didn't want their words to reach Xiang Xiong's ears.

"And my mother is not like before. When I went back to my hometown during the summer vacation, my grandma said that my mother had a good meal. You can eat at my house during the time when Uncle Xiang is not at home. Let my mother give us pancakes. Are you Is your favorite food?"

Xiang Guan smiled and shook his head: "No, I'll eat the same food at Aunt Fu's house or Uncle Deng's house. If it doesn't work, I can still eat in the cafeteria. My dad left me money."

Wu Yan thought about the attitude of her parents when Xiang Wan went home, so she thought about it and forgot it.

The class bell rang, and everyone took out their textbooks, paper and pens and waited for the teacher to arrive.

Everyone was very serious about the class in the morning. When the school was about to end, the teacher announced that there would be a quiz next weekend. Some people were happy and some were sad.

Xiang Wan went home with Wu Yan at noon, and while eating, Xiang Xiong smiled and said, "We will set off before dawn tomorrow, and then I will give you breakfast in a hot pot, remember to eat before going to school when you get up, Lunch and dinner can be eaten at the opposite door or at school, if it is not possible, you can also eat in a restaurant."

Xiang Wan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I won't treat myself badly, you and Brother Peng go back to the village and pay attention to safety."

Xiang Wan had already packed Xiang Xiong's clothes and other belongings last night, but there was no need to pack them anymore.

After lunch, Xiang Wan went to Fu Cuiju's house opposite to get mung beans back, and asked Fu Cuiju how to make mung bean soup, and then put the things in the kitchen, ready to make it after school at night.

Xiang Wan was a little absent-minded in class all afternoon, and somewhat worried about the separation of father and daughter for the first time.

After finally surviving school, Xiang Wan dragged Wu Yan to walk quickly, and when he got home, he went to the kitchen to make mung bean soup.

At this time, Xiang Xiong also came back with braised pork. Seeing his daughter busy in the kitchen, he thought she was making dinner, so he hurriedly said, "Girl, I won't be cooking tonight. I bought a lot of vegetables. You can go downstairs and call Deng later." Uncle and the others, go to the next door and call Chen Han to have dinner at home."

"Okay, I'll be there in a while, Dad, help me watch the fire, I'll make mung bean soup, and you will drink it with you on the road tomorrow morning," he said as he walked out the door.

Neither Fu Cuiju nor Hua Peirong came to the house. As for Deng Zhike and Chen Han who came, they were holding white wine and dried meat respectively, and they were ready to have a good meal when they saw it.

Seeing this, Xiang Xiong grinned from ear to ear: "I've already bought meat and vegetables here, what are you bringing over here, I'm afraid I don't have any at home."

Chen Han doesn't come to the house very often, and usually works in a canning factory. He has a simple, honest and easy-going personality.

At this time, Chen Han scratched his heel and said with a smile: "It happened that a lot of jerky was distributed in the factory a while ago, and I was the only one drinking at home. This time, I happened to bring drinks."

Deng Zhike immediately said, "My wine was sent by the younger generation in my family. They said it was brewed by themselves. If you keep saying that for a while, I won't drink it for you."

Xiang Xiong: .
Xiang Wan set the wine glasses for them, put the appetizers in bowls, and then went back to the kitchen to continue working.

"Girl, don't be busy, you have to stay up for a while, hurry up and have dinner."

Xiang Wan glanced at the dining table full of meat and vegetables, and sat down as promised.

The three big men drank and chatted, while Xiang Wan ate every mouthful. When it was almost time, he went to the kitchen to turn off the fire, then took out the prepared mung bean soup and let it cool down, and then went back to the room.

When I was with adults, I couldn't let go of chatting, Xiang Wan felt this at the dinner table, and simply left the space for them.
