Hu Fan looked at the Lijia Village in front of him. It had not changed much from when he left. The houses were still the same and the people were still the same.
At this time, Lijia Village was once again covered in heavy snow, just like when Hu Fan left. There were not many villagers walking around on the streets, only a few people in twos and threes. Because the weather was too cold, everyone was at home.
"Eh? Isn't this Xiaofan, the grandson of Lord Hu's family in the back mountain? Why, he's going home for the Chinese New Year, and he's bringing a beautiful girlfriend back. That's okay, boy, you've really paid off your studies... OK Come on, go home quickly, it’s so cold today!”
As soon as he entered the village, Hu Fan met the villagers of Lijia Village, and he recognized Hu Fan at a glance.
"Well, come back to spend the New Year with grandpa. Uncle Li, please go back quickly. It's too late. My aunt will be looking for you all over the village with a comb in a while, haha..."
This Uncle Li, after he stopped working in the winter, went to the small shop in the village to play mahjong every day. If he didn't go there again, every time he went, his wife would beat him back with a comb.
"You brat, you can't save some face for your uncle in front of your girlfriend. Come on, go to your uncle's house for dinner when you have time."
After he finished speaking, he covered his ears and walked to the small shop in the village.
"Hu Fan, the people here speak really interestingly. I just realized that you grew up here, and you don't have a Northeastern accent at all. Phew..."
Ouyang Wanqing blew on her palms as she spoke. It was colder here than she imagined.
"Haha... It's normal to not have an accent. My grandfather taught me Mandarin since I was a child, so I'm not biased by the accent here. It can also be said that I have strong self-control."
Looking at Ouyang Wanqing, who was shivering from the cold, he reached out and took her little hands in his.
“So warm~”
When Hu Fan's hand was holding it, Ouyang Wanqing immediately felt the scorching temperature.
In this way, the two of them walked hand in hand towards Hu Fan's home in Houshan.
Today, two guys, Li Daxiong and Li Da, came to Hu Shengtian. Because the Chinese New Year is about to come, they came here to clean up.
"Idiot, do you think my eldest brother will come back to celebrate the New Year this year?"
Big Bear asked Li Da who was chopping firewood while sweeping the snow in the yard.
"Pa...huh, I don't know. You should be back. Big brother turns out to be back every Chinese New Year." Li Da was a little weak and weak. Ever since they came back from Suzhou after rescuing Hu Fan, Hu Shengtian had been letting him go every day. He went to chop wood, at least a ton a day, to strengthen his physique.
"Grandpa, too, doesn't let us call my eldest brother. We haven't seen him for almost a year. He really looks like his eldest brother."
At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and Hu Shengtian walked out of the room. Hu Shengtian, wearing a white tunic suit, looked like a fairy.
But after seeing the big pipe pot in his mouth, the previous image instantly collapsed. Have you ever seen an immortal smoking a big pipe?
"Okay...you two, stop working for now. Go to the entrance of the village to pick up the guests from someone's house. Xiaofan is also back..."
Hu Shengtian looked towards the entrance of the village and seemed to see Hu Fan and Ouyang Wanqing walking hand in hand.
"Brother is back?"
As soon as the two of them heard this, they stopped moving their hands and ran out of the yard in the next second, with a speed that made people look at them.
As they ran, Hu Fan, who was about to reach the back mountain, suddenly stopped.
"They are coming..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ouyang Wanqing saw two figures suddenly appeared in front of her, running towards her at an extremely fast speed.
"Brother!"
"Brother!"
The two also saw Hu Fan and Ouyang Wanqing. In their eyes, Hu Fan was the only one at the moment.
"Ha ha……"
Hu Fan gently let go of Ouyang Wanqing's hand, put down the things in his hand, took a step forward, and opened his arms.
"bump!"
Within a few seconds, the two of them came to Hu Fan and gave him a deep hug. The three brothers, who had not seen each other for nearly a year, finally met each other at this moment.
"Haha... Okay, Big Bear, I found that you have grown again. You are now over two meters tall."
After the three of them separated, their eyes were slightly red. Then Hu Fan looked at the big bear that was more than two meters tall and couldn't help but tease him.
"Let me introduce to you, this is my girlfriend Ouyang Wanqing, Wanqing...the two tall ones are called Li Daxiong, and this one is called Li Da. They and I have been brothers since childhood."
At this time, Ouyang Wanqing came over from behind, extended her right hand to them, and said hello to them.
"Hello, I am Hu Fan's girlfriend Ouyang Wanqing. Nice to meet you."
At this time, Li Da also stretched out his hand to shake Ouyang Wanqing, but Big Bear on the side quickly reached out and struck him down.
"Sister-in-law, are you free to touch your hands? They are neither big nor small."
Daxiong looked at Li Da angrily.
"You know...this is basic courtesy, don't you know?"
Looking at this big man, he didn't know what to say.
Seeing the two bickering, Ouyang Wanqing lightly covered her mouth and laughed, finding these two people very interesting.
"Okay, you two, go back quickly. I want to take Wanqing to see grandpa."
The big bear stretched out his hand and put the things they brought on his shoulders without any effort at all.
"Big bear, right...are you not cold if you wear so little?"
Seeing that Li Daxiong was wearing very little, Ouyang Wanqing asked him with some doubts in this place of more than 20 degrees below zero.
"Hehe...sister-in-law, I'm not cold. I'm naturally rough-skinned, thick-bodied and resistant to freezing!"
They called each other sister-in-law, which made Ouyang Wanqing feel embarrassed, but gradually she got used to them calling her sister-in-law, and she felt very happy.
"Is it okay for grandpa to come this year?"
While walking, Hu Fan asked how his grandfather was doing.
"Very good, how can it be better to have the two of us together? We eat the wild game I catch for him from the mountains every day. It couldn't be better."
Ever since Hu Shengtian taught them his skills, Daxiong has been exercising in the deep mountains and forests almost every day. Every time he comes back, Hu Shengtian will ask him to hunt some game. Life can be said to be very nourishing.
"Hmm...that's fine."
After listening to what they said, Hu Fan felt relieved. Although his grandfather was very capable, he was still an old man in his 70s. Given his age, if his grandfather hadn't told him not to call him when he was fine, otherwise he would have called him every time. I have to make a phone call every month.
"By the way, brother...just a few months ago, grandpa picked up an old man from nowhere. Now the two of us play chess at home every day."
Just when they came back from Suzhou, after returning to Hu Shengtian's place, they found that there was an old man in the house.
