As dusk fell, the long journey home was about to end, and after turning a corner, Xifeng Village was already in sight.
Just after turning the corner, Li Jie, who was in charge of driving the car, saw something strange at the entrance of the village.
this?
I saw a group of people standing at the entrance of the village, and there were gongs and drums playing beside the rural road.
"coming!"
"coming!"
At the entrance of the village, Lao Wang saw the donkey cart in the distance and immediately waved his hands to signal the people next to him to play music quickly.
"Music, start!"
Following his order, Li Jie could hear the sound of gongs and drums coming from the entrance of the village, even from a long distance away.
At this time, Gao Mu and others also noticed something strange in front of them.
"Zhihua, what are you doing?"
Gao Mu looked at the entrance of the village with curiosity, turned around and asked, "Is there any happy event in your village today?"
"Ouch."
Li Jie said helplessly: "It's probably not a happy event. This drum sound is probably to welcome you."
"us?"
Gao Mu said unexpectedly: "What kind of welcome do we need? Why don't we welcome you?"
On the side, Qin's father and Qin's mother were also puzzled. They were not big leaders. They were ordinary people. How could they need such a grand ceremony?
"I can't help it, the people here are so enthusiastic."
Li Jie laughed and did not explain the reason in detail. After all, this was the first time that he and Qin's father met.
If you brag about yourself, you will inevitably leave a 'arrogant' impression.
Not long after, the donkey cart arrived at the entrance of the village.
"Haha, brothers and sisters, welcome to Xifeng Village!"
Lao Wang, the village party secretary, did his part and was the first to greet him.
The donkey cart stopped slowly, and Gao Mu and others got out of the cart with Li Jie.
"Sister."
Lao Wang rushed to Gao Mu and held her hand.
"Thank u!"
"Thank you for raising a wonderful son."
"On behalf of all the villagers of Xifeng Village, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"
Seeing such enthusiastic villagers, Gao Mu was very uncomfortable. She was just an ordinary citizen and had never been an official since she was a child.
She shook hands with Lao Wang with a confused expression, and then watched Lao Wang come to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Hello!"
"Are you Teacher Qin?"
Lao Wang held Qin's father's hands with the same enthusiasm.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Teacher Xiao Qin, you have been of great help to our village!"
"You did a great job raising her!"
"Where, where."
Compared with Gao Mu, Qin's father's reaction was better. After being stunned for a while, he immediately expressed humbly.
"You're overly flattering."
"No no."
Lao Wang shook his head repeatedly: "If it weren't for Teacher Xiao Qin, how would the children in our village have any books to study?"
"Secretary Wang."
At this time, Li Jie intervened at the right time.
"How about we go back to the village first?"
"oops!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Wang slapped his head and quickly apologized to Gao Mu and others.
"Look at my memory."
"Sister Gao, Brother Qin, it's rude of me to make you stand here."
"Nothing."
The three of them shook their heads. During this period, Gao Mu glared at Li Jie and signaled him not to interrupt.
Don't you see it's the adults talking?
You're a kid, why are you interrupting?
Upon receiving Gao Mu's warning look, Li Jie smiled slightly and took a few steps back.
However, he would have to settle Lao Wang's debt with the other party later.
What are you calling big brother and big sister?
Isn’t this a lifetime promotion in vain?
Immediately afterwards, Lao Wang smiled and chatted with Gao Mu and others, and then waved his hand towards everyone.
"Let's go to the big playground!"
The big playground is where the bonfire party will be held today. If anything happens in the village, meetings will be held there.
It is said to be a playground, but in fact it is just a large flat land with no decent buildings except dirt.
After a while, Gao Mu and others followed the crowd to the 'venue'.
However, when they saw the enthusiastic villagers and the food on the table, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
So much food?
There are all meat skewers on that table, right?
There are two lambs being roasted on the side?
How much does this cost?
Didn't you say that the conditions here are difficult?
Although today seems to be a big day, in the magic city, we wouldn't dare to do this during the holidays.
After the shock, Gao Mu became a little scared.
It was so enthusiastic that she couldn't bear it.
So Gao Mu quietly pulled Li Jie aside and asked in a low voice.
"Zhihua, is there any major festival in your village today?"
"So be it."
Li Jie nodded and said, "Actually, the village made some money last year. By the way, I mentioned this to you in my letter."
Gao Mu said: "Is it just about harvesting wool and selling it for foreign exchange?"
"ah."
"Yes."
Li Jie said with a smile: "Last year, everyone worked hard and had a good year, so everyone has been looking for an opportunity to have a bonfire party to reward themselves."
"And today, I'm just in time to catch you guys."
"So, it's just a coincidence."
"oh."
Hearing this, Gao Mu patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good."
She thought this party was just for them.
If this is really the case, how much of a favor do you have to bear?
What she fears most is being in debt to others.
Although the villagers of Xifeng Village do not look at their own face, but their son's face, the son's favor is also a favor.
Gao Mu secretly thought that her son would return to the Magic City as soon as possible one day.
In her opinion, people are inferior when they are away from home, and this place is too far away. Even if her son develops well here, this place is not her hometown after all.
Besides, the gap between here and the Magic City is quite big.
Apart from anything else, Nannan had to travel hundreds of miles to get to the hospital when she gave birth to a baby.
If Nan Nan were in Shanghai, their home would be only ten minutes away from Renji Hospital.
The distance is close and the medical conditions are better.
After a while, Gao's mother moved to Qin's father and Qin's mother, and quietly told them the news she had learned.
The old couple also breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the party was for celebration.
After all, this bonfire party was a bit noisy. Looking at it, the meat on the table was almost piled up into a hill.
Too luxurious.
If it was to welcome them, how could they say anything?
"By the way, Zhihua, where is Nannan?"
Gao Mu looked around and saw no trace of her daughter-in-law, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Why didn't you see her?"
"I'll go back and take a look."
"I am coming too."
As soon as Gao Mu finished speaking, she was immediately recognized by Qin's father and Qin's mother.
Immediately, Li Jie said hello to Ga Wa who was standing beside him, and then led Gao Mu and the others home.
"oops!"
As a result, they bumped into Aunt Wang head-on as soon as they reached the halfway point.
"Zhihua, I finally found you."
"Teacher Xiao Qin, it seems she is about to give birth!"
