I am studying and eating melons in Chronicle

During the Spring Festival, Chu Songlan called her family and said that a friend came to the house as a guest, and hoped that the two of them could help her entertain her well.

This counts time, people can only come after the fifth day of the lunar new year.

Hearing that fresh vegetables and fish are rarely available at the supply and marketing cooperative, they hurried over to line up to buy them, and waited for customers to visit.

Who knew she came just after the fifth day?This is too urgent.

The visitors were guests, and Chu Zhengjun immediately asked his wife to go to the kitchen cupboard to entertain them with trough cakes.

"Comrade Chu, don't worry about it, we just came over to have a look, and I'll give you some New Year's goods by the way." Yun Yi saw that the two of them looked like they were facing a big enemy, and quickly stood up to stop him.

The couple of the Chu family are honest people, even a little clumsy with their tongues. Seeing that Yunling's father and daughter are dressed brightly, their bodies are full of culture, and they stand tall and low, which makes them very cramped.

"This hospitality is not good...you take care of me."

Yun Yi smiled gently: "What are you talking about, you are already very thoughtful."

Yunling put the cloth bags in both hands on the side of the kang, "This is what Wo Lan asked me to buy, it's her filial piety, you have to accept it."

Aunt Chu glanced twice, and saw that it was the food she saw in the beautiful glass cabinets of the department store but was reluctant to sell when she went to the downtown area of ​​the capital.

Since she said that it was Chu Songlan who respected them both, Chu Zhengjun naturally had no reason to accept it.

Yun Yi put the package in his hand next to him again, "Our visits are counted as New Year's greetings, these are not expensive things, the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy, I hope you will be merciful."

This Chu Zhengjun absolutely couldn't accept it: "You came all the way from the city to see us, we are already very embarrassed, how can we accept more things?"

Yun Yi was gentle on the surface but extremely tough, "This is the proper etiquette. Ordinary people have to bring something when they come to the door. What's more, it's the New Year's Eve, so you have to accept it."

The two began to evade back and forth, Yunling and Aunt Chu stood aside, silent.

Aunt Chu took the initiative to ask, "Is Wo Lan doing well there? Every time she writes back, she says it's fine, we can't believe it."

Yunling told the truth: "Farming in the countryside is definitely indispensable. The autumn harvest will be very tiring and busy, but she seems to be very used to this level of labor and adapts quickly. It is cold over there, but as long as the house is warmed, it will be less difficult. It will be much easier to go out in winter."

"Auntie, don't worry, she is much better than me."

"The aunts in the village all praised her for doing farm work neatly. We learned how to plant herbs together. She is very talented in this area. In addition, we listened to the radio at night and insisted on studying mathematics, physics, chemistry, Chinese, and foreign languages. She made rapid progress. When she comes back next year, let her tell you all these things carefully."

Although what she said was both good and bad, it sounded objective, but she also avoided the important things. Maybe this is the thinking that children will have when they are away?
However, Aunt Chu felt at ease about Chu Songlan's living conditions, and asked a little anxiously: "Did her leg accidentally fall into a ditch and break?"

Yunling was startled, then replied with a smile: "Yes."

"Then I don't worry." Aunt Chu breathed a sigh of relief, "I was afraid that she would be bullied in the Northeast and pushed in... I heard that the people there are all rough and angry, it seems that I Think too much."

Yunling was amused by her words, and quickly clarified: "Northeast people are indeed taller and stronger overall, but they are not much different from ours. As for their temperament, they are actually more straightforward than irritable."

"Besides, this is the inherent image that we outsiders have given them. Where can people have the same body type and temperament? Surely there are differences between people!"

"You're right." Aunt Chu changed her point of view almost instantly, "Children of your generation are especially assertive and thoughtful. We really envy you."

"When Silan was going to go to the countryside, I stopped her from going and wanted to change her account to keep her. But she didn't want to, and we couldn't help it."

Aunt Chu sighed: "We are afraid that she will have a bad life in the country. We are both children who have been brought up with one hand. Tell me, what is the difference between this and our own?"

Yun Ling could only comfort her: "We have a really good life in the countryside, don't worry too much."

Over there, Yun Yi still stubbornly beat Uncle Chu and kept the things.

But in the same way, the Chu family couple insisted that they would stay for dinner, but they were too kind to refuse.

After dinner, Yun Yi inadvertently mentioned how to get to Wengai County, and Chu Zhengjun smiled heartily: "It just so happens that we lived in Beigou Village before we moved to the county, and I know that road very well. I’ll take you to the carriages that deliver food, I know the old man driving the carriages, so it’s okay to take a ride.”

"Then thank you Comrade Chu, I really trouble you!"

"No trouble, no trouble!"

In the evening, the Yun family father and daughter left the Chu family and agreed to meet at the gate of the furniture factory at 06:30 tomorrow morning.

The next morning.

The three got into the carriage, staggered for a long time before seeing the entrance of the village.

When getting out of the car, Yunling rubbed her waist, thinking that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality—she had finally gotten used to the bumps of the ox cart and carriage in the countryside, but she had just returned home for a few days, and then she went back to the car. Sitting is a bit unbearable.

Turning to look at her father, he was actually much stronger than her, which made her even more ashamed.

When he arrived at the place, Yun Yi secretly pulled Chu Zhengjun aside and said something in a low voice.

Chu Zhengjun raised his head with a look of shock. He didn't expect that what they were going to do was actually related to those people in the cowshed, and he warned nervously: "Comrade Yun, people in our village avoid that place, you... can you To go or not to go?"

But Yun Yilai has come here, so he can't just return without success, not to mention that Yunling still has something to give to Professor Lan!

Seeing that the two of them were determined, Chu Zhengjun had no choice but to send the Buddha to the west, and took them to avoid the main road, and took a detour through the path in the woods.

Fortunately, during the Chinese New Year, the villagers are all at home, and the kidnapper incident has just passed, so even the main road is deserted.

Chu Zhengjun took them to the gate of the cowshed, and then pointed to a nearby private house, "Hurry up and finish it, and then go to my old house to warm up before leaving."

After thanking him again, the father and daughter knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" The voice of the person inside sounded extremely cautious, and a little panicked.

Yun Yi said bluntly: "We are here specially to visit Professor Lan!"

It was a while before they opened the door.

As soon as she approached, Yunling keenly smelled the faint and dry smell of Chinese herbal medicines covered by decay.
