After paying the money and walking out of the small noodle shop, Xiao Chen still had more to say, "I didn't expect the noodles in this noodle shop to be so delicious, full of ingredients, and they also come with pickles; Minghua, let's come back next time."
"Okay." Not to mention the taste, it is the best among the noodle restaurants in the station. "Don't you want to try the noodles from other noodle restaurants?"
Xiao Chen hesitated, "Can the noodles in other noodle restaurants be as delicious as this one?"
Minghua: "......"
I haven’t eaten it, I don’t know, I don’t know.
After dinner, Minghua took her to the supply and marketing cooperative and the department store. Xiao Chen bought towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap. Minghua bought a gift for everyone in the family. After preparing all the things, she went back to the station storage office to pick them up. After carrying their luggage, the two of them left the county town and saw a bullock cart that was almost full of people on the way to the Yujia production team. Minghua saw that she was an acquaintance, so she grabbed Xiao Chen and ran over.
"Uncle Qi." This person is an uncle of the Xiao family, Xing Qi, and the younger generations call him Uncle Qi.
"Hey, Huahua is back. The college students have gone home. You haven't been back for more than a year or almost two years. Your parents are thinking about you. They sent you things but no one accepted them and they returned them. You My parents were as anxious as anything, and then they were relieved when you sent a letter back and found out what job you had gone to take and couldn't come back." As soon as Uncle Xiao Qi spoke, people on the oxcart all looked over.
These people include people from the Yu family production brigade, the Xiao family, and people from other production brigade.
"Is this the college student from your production team? He's quite fair and good-looking; he's just a bit thin and has trouble giving birth." The speaker was a dark, thin and short woman.
The aunts of the Xiao family on the oxcart glared at the short aunt angrily, and the uncle Xiao Qishu's family responded rudely.
"What's wrong with Bo, eating your food and drinking your food? My girl is healthy, fair and beautiful, unlike some people who look like black briquettes. Not only is she black, she is also as thin as a dead bamboo pole. She doesn't look good either. Fertile.”
"Isn't that right? People with other surnames don't talk about how our Xiao family's girls are; whether they're good or not, we, the Xiao family, can afford to support them."
"With all that nonsense, why don't we have a college student in our family?"
"It's just that, you look down on this, look down on that; the one who makes people look down on the most is actually you."
In the end, the aunt just pointed at people's noses and called them names.
Minghua was stunned when she heard this. Xiao Chen secretly gave her a thumbs up and whispered to her, "Are you popular in your hometown?"
"Shit." Is the original owner's popularity good enough to be deceived? Pull him down, "It's not a matter of popularity, it's that we, the Xiao clan, value the unity of the clan the most. We can make any trouble inside, but we can't make it in front of outsiders."
Mrs. Xiao Sanzhu was the original master. She was not beaten to death after she came because she didn't make a fuss out. If the trouble really happened, the Xiao family would be disgraced, and Mrs. Xiao Sanzhu would definitely be severely punished. It can be seen that the mother of the original owner was merciful in her work. Most of the people in this production team are from the Xiao family. They are rooted in the production team, and there is a limit to how they can send messages. After all, they are families who want to live in the production team.
Even so, Mrs. Xiao Sanzhu was marginalized in the Xiao clan.
Uncle Xiao Qi, who was riding in the cattle cart, was closest to the two of them. After hearing this, the old man smiled with satisfaction and said, "Huahua, who is this girl?"
"Uncle Qi." Minghua turned around and smiled, as if she hadn't heard the whisper, "She is my friend, her name is Xiao Chen. I invited her to play with me when I came back from vacation. Sister Chen, this is the elder of my Xiao family. Just follow me and call Uncle Qi."
Xiao Chen grinned and called out, "Uncle Qi."
"Hey." Uncle Xiao Qi responded with a smile, "Hello, Comrade Xiao, we have the same surname. We were a family five hundred years ago. When you come to the Yujia Production Team, you feel like you are at your own home. You can play wherever you want. Let Hua Hua will take you there."
The pronunciations of Xiao and Xiao are indeed similar and difficult to distinguish.
Minghua nodded in agreement, and corrected what needed to be corrected, "Uncle Qi, I have a grass-top Xiao, and a grass-top and a solemn figure; it's different from our Xiao."
"Really? That's okay. The pronunciation of the last names is the same, which means they are destined." He is not embarrassed, it is not him who is embarrassed.
Staring at the two little sisters, one was white and short and thin, the other was tall and strong. They seemed happy no matter what. Uncle Xiao smiled lightly and responded calmly, "Come up, it's time to go back."
"Okay."
Minghua jumped onto the empty seat behind Uncle Qi, and successively took the luggage from Xiao Chen's hand and put it on the side, trying not to occupy any space. After moving it to the side of the luggage, Xiao Chen climbed into the car and sat next to her. .
"Let's go!"
A whip is used to drive the bullock cart forward. The road is bumpy. No matter how slow the cart goes, people sitting on it will still be jolted.
Enjoying the treatment of an old lady riding in a sex car twice a day, I feel numb.
When getting off the oxcart, Minghua resisted not rubbing her buttocks. Xiao Chen couldn't help it anymore and quickly rubbed it twice. This made the people in the production team burst into laughter. Aunt Xiao Qi put the basket on her back and got off the oxcart while laughing. Laughing, "Is this Comrade Xiao's first time riding a bullock cart?"
"I used to sit there a lot, but my butt and buttocks hurt when I sit back." Even though I got off the bullock cart, I felt like I was being bumped on the bullock cart.
"You'll get used to it after sitting around for a while." Aunt Xiao Qi turned to Minghua cheerfully and said, "Huahua, hurry up and go home! Come to Aunt Qi's house when you have time and I'll fry some eggs for you."
"Thank you Aunt Seven, aunts and uncles, let's go first."
"Go, go, your mother misses you."
Minghua picked up a luggage bag and held Xiao Chen with one hand.
"Wait, wait." He grabbed her with his backhand, turned around and grabbed the remaining luggage bag, and then she pulled her away.
When she walked outside Xiao's house, the courtyard door opened wide, and Minghua strode into the courtyard, "Mom, dad, brothers and sisters-in-law, I'm back."
His voice was loud and cheerful.
Father Xiao and Mother Xiao came out of the main room, their faces visibly happy, "Oh, my daughter is back."
Xiao's father stopped smoking, and Xiao's mother quickly stepped forward, hugged her daughter, and patted her back.
"Stinky girl, you still don't know how to come back. You haven't been back for more than a year, and you haven't written much. You are worried about me and your father."
Minghua hugged her mother with a smile and waved to her father. When her father came to the front, she hugged them both and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm back."
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Father Xiao patted his daughter's arm, and the man who was not always cheerful smiled broadly, "Mom, go make some delicious food for your child. Our family has raised a lot of chickens and ducks this year. Slaughter one a day to replenish our daughter; I have lost weight even after going out, I don’t know how much hardship I have endured.”
Mother Xiao pulled her daughter out of her arms, looked at her up and down for a while, then touched her face distressedly, "She has lost weight and is suffering."
"It's not bitter. I'm well fed and clothed outside."
Xiao's father and Xiao's mother nodded repeatedly, and whatever their daughter said was whatever they said; but they knew that their daughter was suffering, and the outside was not as good as at home. As the saying goes, it is good for a thousand days at home, but everything is difficult when going out.
"Are you tired? Mom will boil water for you, take a bath and have a good sleep."
"Thank you, Mom." Minghua turned around and said, "By the way, parents, let me introduce you to her; she is Xiao Chen, my friend, a few years older than me. Sister Chen, these are my parents."
Xiao Chen put down his luggage and behaved in a reserved manner, "Hello, uncle and aunt, I am Xiao Chen. You can call me Xiao Xiao or Xiao Chen."
