Xu Rui sighed when he heard this, "I didn't comfort me at all. Go back early after packing up, otherwise I might be more troublesome."

After Xu Jianjun and his wife came back, they packed up some worship items and the three of them left. However, only Xu Jianjun will be left there. Qin Xuejuan and Xu Rui will be able to come back after worshiping. This is a start-up meal at noon today, and they have not returned to their hometown for a long time. They specially invited people from the same tribe to gather together. They have to wait until they leave to invite a meal before they leave. They have been preparing to live in the village these days. As for buying firewood, rice, oil and salt, it is convenient. If they are not used up before leaving, they can give it to the villagers, which cannot be wasted.

Xie Zheng went to take a look at his wife and saw that she was still sleeping soundly in the quilt, so he came to the master bedroom. The three children were already sleeping well together side by side.

The child couldn't find the adult, so Xie Zheng was about to lean on the bedding on the kang to take a nap.

I occasionally hear a few words of talking and the sounds of the villagers walking around behind the house, and the crowing of chickens or the chirping of birds. The whole ears actually make people feel that it is not noisy. Moreover, this is the place where he lived in childhood. Even if the house looks mottled and old now, it is not unfamiliar.

When I opened my eyes again, the children were no longer on the kang.

He stood up and lifted the thin quilt on his body. When he opened the door, he saw three children sitting at the kitchen door. Xie Yang was holding a book to tell stories to his younger brother and sister.

"Dad is awake."

Xie Zheng nodded, "Have you not returned yet?"

"Grandma is back, uncle hasn't." Xie Yang pointed to another room, "Grandma is resting in that room."

"Well, you guys are quieter, don't disturb grandma and mother's rest." Xie Zheng did not continue to sleep, and moved a chair to sit in the yard. It was almost 4:30 at this time. It seemed that the climate would rain lightly at night, and the weather seemed a little gloomy.

At this time, the old village chief outside led his son over, with a small cart with a gas tank on it.

"Uncle Baoshuan!" Xie Zheng stood up and greeted him.

The old village chief patted the body of the gas tank, "Don't you want to stay here for a few days? There are two gas tanks at home. You can use this first. The gas inside is full, enough for you to use."

Xie Zheng did not refuse and helped Jiabao carry the media in, "Thank you, Uncle Baoshuan."

"What are you grateful to for the villagers in the country?" The old village chief didn't care. He looked at the three children and smiled at Xie Zheng: "You Xie family has a descendant."

"...Hmm!" Xie Zheng nodded with a smile.

Thank you for returning from Rebirth, so that you won’t let the Xie family break up.

The father and son didn't stay here for long, but before leaving, Xie Zheng sent them to the door, "Uncle Baoshuan, please bring Jiabao over to have dinner in the evening. Ningning reserved an extra table of food at noon."

The old village chief did not refuse, and nodded and agreed simply, "Okay, I'll come over to dinner."

Xu Ning opened his eyes in a daze. It was dusk outside the window, and the golden sunset was shining brightly in the distance.

When I walked out of the room yawned, I caused a tangle among the twins.

"Mom, you're finally up."

"Mom is a lazy person."

"Meng Meng is hardworking than her mother."

Xu Ning raised his hand and snored on the heads, "Yes, yes, you both are hardworking little bees, don't make trouble, mom goes to wash your face."

After taking a little water into the basin, she pulled the water and washed her face. The sleepy worm instantly dissipated under the cooling effect, but she was still a little tired all over her body, and she naturally felt uncomfortable after sleeping for a long time.

"Are you not at home?" Xu Ning went back to the house to get a bottle of water milk essence and wiped it softly on his face.

"Mom went to visit other houses, and Dad and Xu Rui were still busy outside. They were worried that it would rain at night, so they had to clean up all the things and they should be back soon." Xie Zheng felt relieved when he saw that his wife's face was pretty good.

Xu Ning looked up at the sunset in the distance, and it didn't look like it could rain.

At about seven o'clock, Xu Jianjun and his wife, Xu Rui and the old village chief and two other couples in the village came back together. At noon, Xu Ning asked the mobile chef to make an extra table of dishes just for the evening meal. As for tomorrow, you can go to the market to eat some fried dough sticks and porridge in the morning, and you can also come back to make it by yourself at noon. There is no need to buy much, it is enough for them to eat these days.

Xu Ning got up to prepare the meals, but it was not troublesome. Some dishes needed to be stir-fried in the pot again, which was very easy. If you add some water, add a little salt, otherwise you can stir-fry it for a few times and then heat it out of the pot.

Xu Ning and his brother were busy working below. The old village chief’s wife came to help, but was dragged to the kang by Qin Xuejuan. There was no rule for men and women to sit here today. There was only one table of dishes, and the kang was not small. They just sat down together for a meal, and there was not so much attention.

The old village chief also brought beer and two bottles of liquor from the supply and marketing cooperative. Is it reasonable to drink such a large table of dishes at night?

A plate of dishes were served out of the pot, and soon everyone sat around the big kang and moved their chopsticks.

The three children didn't eat much at night, so Xu Ning specially put some in a small bowl to avoid seeing all the chopsticks stirring on the plate.

In fact, after lunch, the unfinished food was packed by the villagers. If it were before, they would have packed it back, but they would have to treat them to dinner at night, so they naturally could not be treated with leftovers. To be honest, even if their relationship with this village has not changed, the situation of the Xu family in recent years has not changed, and they still ate leftovers when they returned to the village. Not to mention Qin Xuejuan, Xu Jianjun also disliked these feelings. These feelings have nothing to do with, and they are not rich to show off. After all, the leftovers of their own home are normal. Today, many chopsticks are mixed in, and they can no longer swallow them.

"Jianjun, you are about to retire at your age, right?"

"Yes, it's 59 this year, and I'll retire in another five or six years." My son probably will get married, and maybe he will have children. At that stage, he can enjoy his grandchildren at home, and life will be beautiful.

Although there are three grandchildren, in another five or six years, the twins will be in their teens. I am afraid they will not be able to play with their grandfather, which is a little regretful.

"We only have one out of our village, and you are promising." They knew Xu Jianjun's position, a ministerial-level state cadre, and everyone in the village felt honored. Although this was a rare time for Xu Jianjun to come back, the other party was busy with work and his old mother was also filial. There were no close relatives in the village, so there was no need to come back from time to time.

Of course, Qin Xuejuan paid for the road in the village, and she was very grateful to the villagers. In the past, when it rained and snowed, no one was willing to go out, and when it went out, they would inevitably get mud. Now, there is no problem when it rained and snowed. The well-connected concrete roads in the village are their favorites. Usually, the roads in the village can be cleaned by diligent villagers carrying large brooms, and there is no need to find someone to clean them alone.

Now it’s after the autumn harvest, looking at the alleys and on the streets, it’s much easier to dry food.

Xu Jianjun sucked a small sip of white wine and swallowed it, "There will be a promising young people in the future."

"Oh, this is hard to say. After Ningning was admitted to university, fewer than ten children in the village have gone to college in recent years. The school is not very good. The best one is Changshan's son. He got a second-tier university entrance examination, and the whole family also tightened his belt to live. Although the scholarship fund left by Ningning back then was still there." The old village chief's alcohol tolerance was obviously good. At least he was not as entangled as Xu Jianjun when he drank white wine. "But he stayed outside after graduation. We don't know how he lived. He didn't go home very well. He could come back during the Chinese New Year, but he only lived for three or five days before leaving. Hey, he didn't look like a filial child."

"No, I've been studying for so many years." This man was Xu Jianjun's cousin next door, and Xu Ning called him the second uncle.

"When I came back from the Chinese New Year last year, I brought his parents a set of clothes. I guess I bought them in the county after seeing the materials. There was nothing else. I have worked for the Chinese New Year for many years. Every year, I looked very cold after returning to the Chinese New Year. I always said that there was a lot of work pressure outside. My parents raised him so much. Whoever got sick called him to come back to see him. I was also stubborn and said that the unit was busy and couldn't leave. I often asked for leave and the company was unhappy and might lose my job. As time went by Changshan and the others didn't call their son. They were even more powerful after marrying their wives. They brought their children back. That attitude...oh, it's so ungrateful."

"I think it may have something to do with his wife." The second uncle picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth. The second uncle was also very refreshing and was very generous when drinking beer. This person in his sixties looked very stylish. "I rubbed sticks with Changshan's family last night. The tone of the daughter-in-law talking to her mother-in-law was really unheard. I felt that talking to a country man like us seemed to be so proud of him. It sounded like someone with a gun and a stick, and her grandson was not a good one either."

Xu Ning hasn't listened to gossip so vividly for a long time. Every household in the village knows it. He doesn't want to have a tall building in the city. Perhaps as a neighbor, he hasn't known whether a man or a woman next door is a man or a woman. He can spread a little bit of things in the village, so life is actually quite interesting.

She doesn't like to gossip, but she likes to listen to it very much. Her family matters have their own unique charm.

Of course they wouldn't care about other people's affairs, but the second uncle, the old village chief's wife, another aunt, and the three of them were talking about some gossip that happened in the village over the years. Naturally, there were good things and in their arms, but they wouldn't make too much trouble.

As for the incident of Uncle Changshan’s son and daughter-in-law who had been talked about for a long time last night, Xu Ning saw the real person the next morning.

After breakfast, Xu Jianjun and Xu Rui went to the ancestral tomb. It rained slightly last night, but the ground stopped just after wet. Today, it did not delay the start of construction. It will be completed in two days tomorrow. After all, this is not a big project. Although the Xu family is rich now, Xu Jianjun did not intend to repair the ancestral tomb to be magnificent, but it would not be too bad.

He is still a state cadre now, so it is not beneficial to do such things too much.

In this position over the years, it was not that no one gave him gifts through the back door, but Xu Jianjun cleverly sent them back. Everyone in the unit knew that Xu Jianjun, the minister, does not smoke or drink, usually likes to drink some tea, but the tea is the best Yugong Longjing level of his own tea. Even if others want to give it through the back door, they may not be able to buy a lot of them. It is difficult to buy something that is lower than this tea. Are you embarrassed to give it?

This also saves Xu Jianjun a lot of trouble. No matter how high-end the gifts are, you are not as rich as Mrs. Xu, right? Mrs. Xu is also a businessman, and she hasn't even asked her husband for help. Are you a man who is an outsider?

Therefore, Xu Jianjun's political achievements over the years are the most beautiful. In addition, the relationship between the Ministry of Finance and the Taxation Bureau is relatively close. Every year after Xu Jianjun's family pays taxes, the director of the Taxation Bureau will always call Xu Jianjun and talk about how much tax your wife and daughter have paid this year, etc. It is true that the relationship between these two senior officials is the best. They can also get together to drink tea and play chess in private, and have a good relationship with other colleagues of the same level, but unless they are in a meeting or have contact with work, they don't have much contact in private.

After changing the clothes for the three children, the family locked the door and went to the market. When they walked out of the alley, many people saw the family and greeted them one after another.

Among them are the two elders from last night. They and their families were also preparing to go to the market. Many people in the village then went to the village across the road.

The twins were taught to be very sensible and would not have any pride when chatting with children in the village. They soon got together with a pair of children and grandchildren from the second uncle's family.

"Mengmeng, your skirt is so beautiful." The granddaughter of the second uncle's family is Xu Cuicui. This year, he is one year older than Little Lemon, and he has two older brothers on it. The older one is already in high school this year, and the younger one is just in junior high school last year. Cuicui has just entered the first grade this year, just like Little Lemon.

Children here generally go to school late.

However, Little Lemon has been able to keep up with her nutrition since childhood, which may be a genetic problem. She is very beautiful and slender. Even if she has a baby face, she is still a graceful girl.

"This is what my mother bought for me." She pulled the corners of her skirt, with black college socks that were knee-length on her legs, and a pair of white leather shoes on her feet, which were particularly exquisite and beautiful.

Seeing Xu Cuicui's envious eyes, Xiao Ninglei held her hand and said, "I have brought several skirts. When you come back to the market, you can come with me and I will give you one."

"Really?" Xu Cuicui looked at Xiao Lingleng happily. When she saw her nodding, she said embarrassedly: "Then can I exchange the delicious girl fruit in the mountains for you?"

The little girls all love beauty. Of course, their parents work outside, and the money they earn every year is enough for the expenses of the three children at home. Just to go to school, they are naturally a little nervous in life and they cannot buy clothes frequently.

And even if you are rich, Little Lemon's skirt is not cheap, one is often hundreds of dollars. In this way, the little girl can buy five or six skirts every year. Otherwise, more and more couples want a daughter in the future. They just see the beautiful little girls' clothes in the store and want to give birth to a daughter and dress her up beautifully.

"Okay!" Little Lemon had no objection.

Although children are young, the world of children is also very complicated. Since Little Lemon is willing to give up his skirt, it means that this little girl has fallen into Little Lemon's eyes. Otherwise, the little girl who was held in the palm of her family since childhood would not be so easy to meet.

Not far behind them, a family of three was walking slowly. The men and women were dressed more fashionable, but compared with Xie Zheng's family, it was naturally shabby.

Perhaps the prices of clothes are not very different, but the aura is clear at a glance.

The family of three is Xu Tianming's son, Xu Changshan. His wife is naturally a college student. He is from the same company as him. If you really want to talk about it in detail, Xu Tianming almost married into the woman's home.

In the city where they work, they have to take their son to visit the woman's parents every week. However, for Xu Changshan and his wife who gave birth to Xu Tianming, they may only be able to meet their son once a year. This time they returned to their hometown in Mid-Autumn Festival. It is obvious that they do not plan to come back during the Chinese New Year. If they come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they will definitely not go home.

"Who is the family in front?" Xu Tianming's wife asked.

Xu Tianming briefly told his wife that the woman's eyes almost popped out. She didn't expect that there was such a magnificent family in this dilapidated village. Why didn't you know about it before?

Occasionally, I saw Xie Zheng tilting his head and talking to the half-grown boy beside him. The handsome face of the squad made the woman tremble. Thinking about other people's men and then looking at her husband, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Of course, she was just feeling sad. As for taking action, her mind had not yet been filled with water.

Originally, I looked down on people in this village, but I didn’t expect that Golden Phoenix had flown out here. Now she also uses Sumei products, but this set was bought after several months of salary. The woman in front was the owner of this cosmetics. How could she not cover this? Maybe she could get a set of cosmetics for free? It was super expensive, and the whole set cost tens of thousands of yuan. She now only uses a simple set of six-piece skin care products, which cost three thousand yuan.

Xu Tianming's wife is an office typist. Her education is not as high as Xu Tianming. She can marry him because she is a local. Her monthly salary is only seven or eight hundred yuan. However, Xu Tianming's salary is more than twice hers. Otherwise, she would definitely not marry Xu Tianming, a rural household registration.

The second uncle and the others who walked with Qin Xuejuan saw Xu Tianming's family behind him and talked to Qin Xuejuan rustled. Qin Xuejuan turned her head to look at the family of three, and then withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened.

It is not absolute to be born from the heart, but Xu Tianming's wife looks like a powerful person. It is pitiful to Xu Changshan and his wife, the college students who have worked hard to support them, but this is the result.

Following the stairs to the main road, I saw a family of seven or eight people standing on the side of the road. Who else could it be if it weren't for Zhang Meng's family?

"I've been waiting for you for almost twenty minutes." Zhang Meng said with a serious look when she saw Xu Ning with a hip.

Xu Ning smiled, "You don't know where my hometown is, don't you know where you come to find it?"

"Actually, it's very comfortable to blow the cool breeze here. I slept well in my hometown last night?" Zhang Meng stuffed her son into her husband's hand and walked side by side with Xu Ning towards the village opposite. Standing at this position, you can already see the market there.

Xu Ning greeted Zhang Meng's parents, and then followed everyone slowly and chatted with Zhang Meng while walking forward.

"It's not bad. The bedding was prepared by the villagers. I brought four-piece sets from home. The air here is fresh and my breathing is much more refreshing."
