Although the tractor was not as fast as the shuttle bus, it just drove forward without stopping to pick up or drop off passengers, and it was not afraid of potholes or slippery roads. Therefore, it only took the tractor more than two hours to reach Daping Village.
It was about five or six o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark, and the villagers were starting to prepare dinner.
Smoke curls from the kitchen.
White snow, dark house, gray sky, smoke...
Infinitely poetic.
Chug tug tug...
Suddenly, the sound of a tractor broke the tranquility of the mountain village. Many villagers in Daping Village stood at the door or in front of the window, looking out, not necessarily to see anything clearly, but just to watch the excitement.
The children even ran over from all corners of the village, following the tractor, shouting and chasing, which suddenly made the small mountain village more lively and lively.
Tang Jiancheng saw his fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth sisters among a group of children.
The seventh sister ran the fastest, howling and yelling, and was wilder than the boys.
Because of her young age, the eighth sister ran unsteadily and ran at the slowest speed. The fifth sister followed her without urging or supporting her. She looked up from time to time to glance at the sixth and seventh sisters, and then continued to follow the eighth sister... .
"Dad? It's my dad on the tractor!"
Xiao Qi suddenly looked up and saw Tang Jiancheng on the tractor, and immediately shouted with great pride, "Dad, Dad, I'm here!"
The Fifth Sister, the Sixth Sister and the Eighth Sister heard the cry and looked up. The Fifth Sister may have grown older and learned to be shy, so she did not shout loudly, but there was a smile on her face.
Sixth sister and eighth sister shouted together with Xiaoqi, "Dad, daddy, I'm here!"
Soon, the tractor stopped in front of Tang Jiancheng's house.
Tang Jianbing had opened the gate a long time ago and stood at the gate. Seeing that his fourth brother was back, he quickly came over to help lift the fishing net.
Tang Genshui was sitting in the main room smoking, but when he saw this situation, he quickly walked out.
Yuan Yuezhu was cooking in the kitchen and heard the sound of the tractor. He glanced out of the window and saw that Tang Jiancheng was back, seemingly bringing guests. He quickly put down the spatula, reduced the firewood, and wiped his hands on his clothes. I wiped it and walked out.
On the other side, at Tang Jiancheng's house, Liu Fangfang was holding Xiaojiu in her hands while breastfeeding, with her head lying on the window, looking out.
The eldest sister and the second sister were cooking in the kitchen and did not come out even if they heard the noise.
The third sister and the fourth sister seemed to have gone into the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and they came back carrying a basket each.
"Brother Lin Gen, Sister Qingtao, Brother Chengfa, Ah Shui, this is my home!"
Tang Jiancheng pointed to his home and said, "However, my wife is in confinement and will not be in confinement for a few days, so it is not convenient for you to go home to confine her confinement."
"This is my parents' house, and this is my sixth brother. You can go and sit at my parents' house first, okay?"
"It's okay, we just came to find a door so that we can move around easily later."
Jiang Lingen, Ah Shui's third brother, smiled, and then led a group of people to follow Tang Jianbing to his house.
Tang Genshui quickly took out a cigarette to entertain the guests, while Yuan Yuezhu brought hot tea.
The tobacco was grown, roasted and cut by myself, and the tea was not good, just Kuding tea picked from the mountains. It tasted a bit bitter, but this kind of hospitality moved Jiang Lingen and others very much. Very happy too.
After a group of people sat down, Jiang Lingen told what happened in his village, and then pulled Goudan out to kowtow to Tang Genshui and Yuan Yuezhu to thank them.
Goudan is the younger generation, while Tang Genshui and Yuan Yuezhu are the older generation. They are two generations apart, so it makes sense to kneel down and kowtow.
But Tang Genshui and Yuan Yuezhu could not make the child kowtow, and said quickly: "This is also the fate of this child. After suffering this catastrophe, he will definitely be rich and noble in the future, and his life will be smooth."
When Jiang Lingen and his wife heard this, they felt happy.
Tang Jiancheng asked Tang Genshui to call his third brother Tang Jianbo over again.
When Tang Jianbo came and saw Jiang Chengfa, the two immediately started chatting enthusiastically, telling interesting stories from high school and their respective experiences in life.
Tang Jianbing sat next to the mute Jiang Linshui. The two of them were able to chat together. After chatting for a while, the two of them actually left their seats.
"Where are you going?" Tang Jiancheng asked.
"Play with the slingshot!"
Tang Jianbing replied, went back to his room, took out several slingshots, and left with Ah Shui.
Qing Tao also stood up and said, "Jian Jiancheng, I'll go take a look at your house."
"Yes, you should go and have a look. Our two families will be relatives from now on, and you women should also get to know each other." Jiang Lingen said with a smile.
Tang Jiancheng smiled and said, "Okay, it's just that the house is a bit small and there are so many people, so I can't live with them."
Qingtao said: "Isn't everyone like this? What's so sorry about this?"
The two came to Jiancheng's home.
After Tang Jiancheng introduced them to each other, the two women chatted together. They especially learned that Liu Fangfang had given birth to nine daughters and had no son so far, while Qingtao had given birth to four daughters before giving birth to Goudan, the only child. , so the two women have more common topics.
Seeing that they were chatting harmoniously, Tang Jiancheng returned to his parents' house.
As soon as he walked into the house, he saw everyone looking at him. He couldn't help but touch his face and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you? Is there a flower on my face?"
Jiang Chengfa said: "I didn't expect that you are also an expert in hunting!"
Tang Jiancheng understood that his family must have told them about his hunting, so they looked at him in surprise and couldn't help but smile: "It's all just luck."
Chug tug tug...
At this moment, the sound of a tractor came from outside again.
Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and look outside, and saw Huang Tianyue jumping off the tractor.
"Tianyue, why are you here? Is the child healed?" Tang Jiancheng walked out quickly.
Huang Tianyue said: "The child's illness is almost healed, and his mother will be there to take care of him. I have always remembered the bison you mentioned, so I called the tractor before dark."
"Okay, I'll take you over now to take a look."
Tang Jiancheng turned around and shouted, "Third brother, the cattle buyer is here."
Tang Jianbo walked out immediately, and everyone else followed.
Xiao Qi suddenly walked up to Goudan, "My name is Xiao Qi, what's your name?"
Goudan was a little afraid of strangers. After many urgings from Jiang Lingen, he whispered after a long time: "My, my, my name is Goudan."
"Ah? Are you also called Goudan? There are three Goudan in our village, as well as Stinky Dan, Erdan, Niu Dan, and Horse Dan. Why do you boys like to call you Dandan? Is it because you like to eat Dandan? ?”
Xiao Qi asked seriously.
What he said made people laugh.
Tang Jiancheng blushed and hurriedly picked up Xiao Qi and explained: "It's not because it tastes good, but because it's easy to feed. This is a custom that has been passed down for thousands of years."
Xiao Qi seemed to understand, nodded and said: "Dad, I understand, then I also want to make a living. My name is Qi Dan!"
Tang Jiancheng was speechless for a while, while everyone else laughed happily.
