Chapter 3 Return to the Village

After five hours, Xie Ning finally returned to the small town.

"Ningning, Ningning, I'm here."

As soon as Xie Ning got out of the taxi, she heard a familiar voice. She looked up and saw Lao Xie sitting on a tricycle not far away, waving to her.

"Dad." Xie Ning pushed the suitcase and walked in the direction of Lao Xie.

After just a few steps, Lao Xie suddenly drove up to her in a tricycle and put her luggage behind the tricycle.

"Come up quickly." Xie Ning saw a small bench thoughtfully placed behind the tricycle, and then he smiled in his eyes, responded and got on the car.

The tricycle started churning again and headed towards Qingshui Village.

A few days ago, Xie Ning called her family to tell her that she was going home to develop her career. Although her parents were a little worried about whether something had happened to her outside, they were obviously very happy to have her back.

No, a long time ago, Lao Xie said he would come to town to take her home.

Xie Ning was sitting in the back, and when she raised her head, she could see Lao Xie's back and gray and sparse hair.

The last time I went home was during the Spring Festival the year before last. More than a year had passed. Lao Xie's hair was obviously whiter than before, and even his back, which had always been straight and straight, was slightly stooped.

In the past, in Xie Ning's heart, her father was like a mountain, with a straight back. He could carry her on his back when she was young, giving her enough security. She could go out to work in the fields every day and seemed not to be tired, supporting her whole body.

Home.

But now, Xie Ning realized that his father was really old. He was already sixty-one this year. His hair gradually became thinner and whiter, and even his back was no longer so straight.

Xie Ning lowered his head to cover his slightly red eyes.

Even if it wasn't because of that incident, it was right for her to go home this time.

As soon as we entered Qingshui Village, we met many familiar villagers.

"Hey, Lao Xie, where are you from?"

"Hey, this is Ningning. Oh, she's getting more and more beautiful."

"Among our eight villages, Ningning is the most beautiful, even more beautiful than a big star."

"That's right, my daughter is definitely the most beautiful." Lao Xie smiled, with a few wrinkles showing at the corners of his eyes.

"Ning Ning, why are you back?"

"Ning Ning, do you have a boyfriend? If not, I will introduce my nephew to you. I will tell you that my nephew..."

"Ning Ning, you are 27 this year, right? You are not young anymore. It is time to get married..."

The tricycle parked at the entrance of the yard. After dealing with several neighbor aunts who wanted to introduce her boyfriend, Xie Ningcong finally entered the yard with Lao Xie and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, let me carry the luggage."

"No, just come dad. I'll take you to your room. I knew you were coming back a few days ago. Your mother washed and dried the quilts and pillows early. By the way, your mother probably has already done this.

The meal is ready. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. Today we have your favorite dish." Lao Xie pushed the luggage and avoided her hand.

As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared at the door, and it was not her mother, Ms. Zhang Yuqin.

I forgot to mention that her land is not small, and there are many houses, which are arranged in a sun shape. In front is a yard, and behind the gate is a small farmhouse courtyard surrounded by several houses. However, some of these houses belong to my uncle's family, and now my uncle

The whole family lives in the city center and only comes back during the holidays. These houses are now empty.

"Ning Ning is back." Grandpa Xie, carrying a hoe and rolling up his trousers, also came back. When he saw his precious granddaughter, a smile appeared on his face.

"grandfather."

"Ning Ning, you are hungry, come and eat."

"Hey, okay."

A family of four sat around the dining table, and what was placed in front of Xie Ning was her favorite braised eggplant and sweet and sour pork ribs. Xie Ning felt warm and determined to come back again.

"Grandpa, dad, mom, you guys should eat too." Xie Ning served them vegetables, and the whole family ate happily.

"By the way, Ning Ning, you are going to come back to develop now, nothing will happen to you." Zhang Yuqin's eyes were filled with worry.

Xie Ning was dumbfounded and moved, "No, I just want to go home and develop and be with you." As for the bad things that happened in the past, there is no need to tell my parents.

"That's good. By the way, do you plan to find a job?" Lao Xie also asked with a sigh of relief.

"Yes, why don't you ask your cousin to ask for you." Grandpa Xie said.

Xie Ning's cousin Xie Zhou, the son of her brother-in-law, now works in a cosmetics and pharmaceutical company in the city. He originally joined the company after graduating from graduate school.

Xie Ning put down the bowl, pondered for a moment, stared at his grandfather and parents, and said slowly: "Grandpa, parents, I plan to come back to farm this time."

"What, farming?!"

"Yes, I thought that our family has so many acres of land, ponds, and mountains. If we leave it alone, it would be really wasteful. I want to farm the land, grow green vegetables, fruits, raise fish, and then do a live broadcast.

Maybe we can set up a farmhouse in the future..." Xie Ning explained his plan.

After listening to her words, the family members fell silent.

After a long while, Lao Xie held back a sentence, "Ning Ning, are you sure you can farm?"

I don’t blame Lao Xie for thinking so. It’s true that the Xie family doesn’t have much talent for farming.

Speaking of which, these fields, ponds, and hills were contracted by Grandpa Xie many years ago. At that time, Grandpa Xie wanted to do a big job, planting food, raising fish, planting fruit trees, and growing medicinal materials. Unfortunately, he could almost grow anything.

What a loss, sometimes what you plant dies, it doesn’t grow well, and it’s hard to sell.
