Ye Tan's luck is quite good. There is an ox cart coming to the town from Yunling Village today. If you take the ox cart to the village, it costs three cents per person.
Ye Tan paid three cents and climbed onto the bullock cart.
The uncle driving the bullock cart glanced at Ye Tan a few times and then asked, "Little girl, you look familiar to me. Whose family are you going to find in our village?"
The original owner was too introverted. When she followed Ye Laiqing's family back to Yunling Village, she didn't like to talk and had little interaction with others. Therefore, except for her grandparents, no one else in Yunling Village was familiar with her. .
Naturally, Ye Tan didn't know the uncle in front of him very well.
However, this did not affect Ye Tan's communication with his uncle at all: "Uncle, I am the granddaughter of the old Ye family. I came back this time to visit my grandparents and celebrate the New Year with them."
There are only two families with the surname Ye in Yunling Village, and only Ye Laoshuan's family has a granddaughter. The uncle immediately reacted: "Oh, you are Ye Tan, the granddaughter of Uncle Laoshuan, right?"
"Yes, I am Ye Tan." Ye Tan responded with a smile.
"I don't even dare to recognize you, girl." The uncle smiled and said to Ye Tan: "I thought you looked familiar, but I didn't recognize you. I haven't seen you for a year. You girl has changed so much." Yes, she has become a big girl."
The news of Ye Laoshuan's severing of relations with Ye Laiqing spread widely in Yunling Village. Many people in Yunling Village called Ye Laiqing a wolf-hearted person. After learning about Ye Tan's experience, they also sympathized with Ye Tan. But Ye Tan has already gone to the countryside to the Northeast, and they can only sigh.
But when he saw Ye Tan today, the uncle driving the bullock cart was really shocked. He had seen Ye Tan before, but the little girl didn't look like this at that time. At that time, she was so thin and small that she didn't dare to look at anyone. Looking up, I didn't say a few words. How could I be like today? Not only did I speak openly, but I also became so beautiful.
Not only was the uncle driving the bullock cart surprised, but the ladies and aunts riding in the bullock cart were also surprised.
"Hey, this is Ye Tan, I really can't recognize him."
"No, this little face is pretty. If you ask me, it's a sin for the couple to come to Qing. How could such a beautiful little girl have been ruined by the past?"
"No, those two are really not the same thing. Uncle Shuan broke off the relationship with them, but he did it well. Those two don't seem to be filial."
…
A group of aunts and ladies talked around Ye Tan, and while they were talking, they started attacking Ye Laiqing and his wife.
Ye Tan smiled and answered the aunts who were talking to him. He was well-controlled and polite, which made these aunts like him even more. Thinking about how such a good girl was abused by Ye Laiqing and his wife, he felt righteous in his heart. The feelings were overwhelming, and they all expressed their love and affection to Ye Tan, which made Ye Tan a little unable to resist.
However, on the way from Fengtang Town to Yunling Village, Ye Tan also became familiar with these aunties and got to know some people from Yunling Village.
When Ye Tan got off the bus at Yunling Village, the enthusiastic aunties stuffed a lot of peanuts, melon seeds and some snacks into her pockets, which made Ye Tan dumbfounded. These aunties really treated her like a child. Bar?
After saying goodbye to the aunt and uncle who were riding in the same car, and the uncle who was driving the car, Ye Tan followed the route in his memory and came to Lao Ye's house.
At this time, in the kitchen of Lao Ye's house, Ding Jiuniang was cooking dinner, while Ye Laoshuan was smoking a dry cigarette in the courtyard, which was deserted.
Although it is already the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the old couple did not prepare too many things for the New Year. After all, Ye Laiqing's family will definitely not come back for the New Year this year. Therefore, only the old couple celebrates the New Year, and Ye Hesheng takes care of them on weekdays. , but we can't bother others during the Chinese New Year. After all, Ye Hesheng is married and has children, so we can't let the whole family come to accompany the old couple during the Chinese New Year.
The old couple eats little, so they don’t need to prepare too much. Besides, the old couple don’t have much money, so they can save as much as they can. At most, they will have a dumpling meal in their late thirties, and those things Ye Tan sent In addition to giving some to Ye Hesheng, there are quite a few smoked rabbits, smoked pheasants, bacon, etc. at home. For the rest, I just need to prepare some food for entertaining guests during the Chinese New Year.
When Ye Tan knocked on the door, Ding Laoshuan was still a little surprised. He was eating at home at this time, who would come here?
Ding Jiuniang also heard it in the kitchen and said to Ye Laoshuan: "Old man, go and see if Hesheng has come?"
"Yes." Ye Laoshuan nodded and went to open the courtyard door.
Seeing Ye Tan standing at the door, Ye Laoshuan didn't recognize him for a while. After all, in Ye Laoshuan's impression, Ye Tan was thin, timid and had low self-esteem, while the girl in front of him was slim, bright and confident.
But……
It looks familiar.
Before Ye Laoshuan asked "Who are you?", Ye Tan smiled and said to Ye Laoshuan: "Grandpa, I am Ye Tan, I am back."
With a "pop" sound, Ye Laoshuan's pipe pot fell to the ground.
Ye Laoshuan looked at Ye Tan excitedly, his lips trembling: "You...are you Xiao Tan?"
"Grandpa, it's me." Ye Tan quickly picked up the pipe and pot from the ground and handed it to Ye Laoshuan: "It's really me, I'm Xiao Tan."
"Old lady, old lady!" Ye Laoshuan became even more excited, and hurriedly took Ye Tan's arm and walked into the yard: "Xiao Tan, come into the house quickly, don't say anything when you come back, so we can pick you up, you see See how hard it is for you to come back alone, come inside quickly."
Ye Tan smiled and supported Ye Laoshuan with his backhand, secretly looked at the familiar courtyard in his mind, and then looked at the excited Ye Laoshuan, and suddenly felt like going home.
Ding Jiuniang was cooking in the kitchen. When she heard Ye Laoshuan's excited shouts, she was startled and hurriedly walked out: "Old man, what's going on? Why are you so excited..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ding Jiuniang saw Ye Tan supporting Ye Laoshuan, and was stunned. She looked familiar to Ye Tan.
Ye Laoshuan said excitedly: "Look who this is, this is our granddaughter, Xiao Tan, she came back from the Northeast to visit us."
"Xiao Tan!" Hearing what Ye Laoshuan said, Ding Jiuniang was also excited. She hurriedly bounced her little feet and came towards Ye Tan. Seeing that Ding Jiuniang was walking hard, Ye Tan hurriedly stepped forward to help Ding Jiuniang and said : "Grandma, I'm Ye Tan, don't get excited, just take your time."
"Hey, hey, good boy, good boy." Ding Jiuniang shed tears excitedly, patted Ye Tan's hand and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back. You have suffered a lot these years. It's because of your grandma. I haven't protected you all these years, so your father..."
"For those who are celebrating the New Year, don't mention that beast." Ye Laoshuan said: "The child has just arrived home, let the child rest for a while."
"Hey, yes, yes."
