Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter Two: The Spiritual Stone of Fate
Chapter 125 Chang Mu (3)
I had no choice but to take them with me. Uncle Zhou held his little nephew in his arms and wanted to go with him.
Xiao Zhang said: "Then I'll stay and drive the car into the yard."
Dagu also said, "I will also stay to pack the young master's things and see if there is anything I can help you with."
Qiu Yunfang nodded.
Yue Qing led a few people over: "It's not far, just where we turned the corner just now."
Before I even reached the village committee, I heard cheerful square dance music inside. The sound of the stereo is extremely loud, but most of the people working in the village committee have gone off work at this time, and the remaining people can only suffer the devastation of this music. After all, the village team is also working on a cultural atmosphere now, so that middle-aged and elderly people can Square dancing is a very easy way for people to succeed.
The door of the village committee is open. There is only a simple square duty room at the door. Opposite the door is a large empty window without even glass. It is probably for the convenience of everyone asking questions. The door to the duty room also stands next to this window. There is a small window facing the road and the yard, so that people inside can observe the outside.
There was only a shabby table with an unknown color top, a chair, a notebook on the table, and a pen without a cover, which was covered with tape. A water glass, a broken fan, and a small radio on the table. However, there was no radio broadcast at this time. Even if it was played, I probably wouldn't be able to hear it clearly and it wouldn't be able to suppress the sound inside.
An old man was leaning on his chair and looking into the yard, watching the uncles and aunties dancing inside. Yueqing and the others had already reached the door before they saw them. She turned around and took a look. There were many people she hadn't seen yet, and she thought they were there. When the leader came to inspect, he was startled and quickly sat up straight. Then he saw Yue Qing and relaxed: "Yue Qing is back? Come back to see your mother?"
"Well, uncle, I just arrived and saw that my mother is not at home. I heard that she is here? Is it your turn to be on duty today?"
"Well, I'm on duty, and your mother is dancing inside. Are these your friends?"
"Well, my friend wanted to visit our house."
"Oh, people in the city are different. They look handsome and tall."
Yue Qing smiled. He said to Qi Yilin and Qiu Yun: "I praise you, city people."
Qi Yilin smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Qiu Yunfang also said: "Thank you, old man."
The uncle was happy, grinning widely, showing a mouth full of yellow teeth, but none of them had fallen out: "Hey, the young people in the city are much more sensible than the boys in the village. Come in quickly, come in quickly."
Yue Qing said: "Well, uncle, I'm going in."
The uncle nodded: "Go in, go in."
Yue Qing smiled and led them in, and said with a smile: "You are quite good at doing as the Romans do, as the old man said."
Qi Yilin smiled and said: "That is, you must not give face to the people in the city."
Qiu Yunfang smiled.
Yue Qing looked at Qi Yilin: "You see, Qiu Yunfang doesn't talk as much nonsense as you."
Qi Yilin looked at Qiu Yunfang, frowned and said, "Let me liven up the atmosphere."
Then a few people entered the courtyard and looked at the dance team of about 20 people, mainly composed of aunts, who were standing in no order at all.
Yue Qing saw her mother at a glance, and she was indeed here. Pointed to Qi Yilin and the others, "Look, that's my mom, the one in the first row wearing a red floral thin cotton coat."
Qi Yilin and others looked over and recognized her at a glance, because she was the only one in the first row wearing a red cotton coat. I saw Chang's mother wearing a thin red floral cotton-padded coat and pure black pants. Black and red cloth shoes. There is an khaki pure cotton scarf around his neck. I guess he is getting hot, so he puts it around his neck casually. Her hair was dyed maroon red, and some black hair was exposed at the roots. There was no jewelry on her neck and hands.
She has a moderate figure, not very thin. She is dancing with everyone at the moment. Her body is twisting to the music, but she dances better than others. Her skin was a bit dark, and there was no makeup on her face. She was smiling, and while dancing, she looked at the lead dancer in front of her, who was also Auntie’s teacher.
The little nephew also saw it, threw away Uncle Zhou and ran over, "Grandma. Grandma." Uncle Zhou stretched his hand forward but did not pull him. Seeing that he had run away, he stood up.
There were other children running and playing in the courtyard, but everyone didn't pay attention. The little nephew ran to Chang's mother and pulled her.
Yueqing's mother stopped jumping when she saw her. Supporting him: "Why is Xiaobao here?" Then he turned around and saw Yue Qing and the others. "Hey, I'm back. Come on, Bao, let's go."
The companions on the side saw her leaving: "Huang Ping, are you leaving?"
"Well, let's go. Stop dancing. My daughter is back."
Everyone around said hello to her, and Yueqing's mother said to them as she walked: "You continue to dance, I will go back first, and I will dance again tomorrow."
The companions said: "Let's go, let's go. It's not easy for my daughter to come back." A few good-hearted people glanced here. When they saw Qi Yilin and others, they poked the companions next to them and looked here. Immediately, several people looked over, muttering so hard that they couldn't hear what was being said. After watching for a while, they stopped paying attention and continued to dance.
Yueqing's mother, Huang Ping, pulled her nephew toward them. As he walked, he said, "I'm back now."
Walking out of the crowd, he picked up his little nephew, kissed the left side of his little face and kissed the right side, then he said with a few mouthfuls, "Bao, do you miss grandma? Grandma misses you so much."
"Think about it."
Qi Yilin and Qiu Yunfang watched her coming and quickly bent down to salute: "Hello, aunt."
Uncle Zhou put his hands on his chest and bent down deeply.
Huang Ping glanced at Qi Yilin, and then said: "Oh, that's so polite. Okay, okay, we don't want to do this. Let's go, let's go. Go home."
Uncle Zhou stepped forward to pick up Xiaobao and said, "Madam, let me hold him."
Huang Ping glanced at him and said, "It's okay. It's not serious. It's too noisy."
The little nephew said obediently: "Grandpa hugs me."
When Huang Ping heard this, she handed him to Uncle Zhou and said, "Okay, grandpa, hold him."
Uncle Zhou took Xiaobao.
With her hands free, Huang Ping flicked the scarf around her neck and tied it on her head. "Get sweaty and don't catch a cold again. Come on, let's go home quickly."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "Mom, why don't you wait for us at home."
"Who knows when you will come back? If you never come back, won't it delay my square dance if I wait at home?"
Qi Yilin smiled: "Auntie is right, dancing is more important. More activities are good for your health."
"That's right. You see, this young man is really sensible. Are these two your friends?"
Yue Qing was smiling when she heard her ask: "Well, they are all my friends."
"I came back with a friend, is it my boyfriend? Who is Wang Bo? He doesn't even look like him."
The expression on Yue Qing's face was certain, "Mom, it's still outside, why are you asking so many questions?"
"Hmph, I won't ask when you get married. Let's go home."
Yue Qing had no choice but to see both Qi Yilin and Qiu Yunfang laughing.
Sighing and walking along.
We arrived home soon, and the old lady was still standing at the door. When she saw them coming back, she walked over tremblingly.
Huang Ping said loudly to her: "Auntie, have you eaten?"
The old man said inarticulately: "I've eaten."
"Sit in the yard?"
The old man waved his hand: "I'm not going, the girl is back."
Huang Ping said: "It's okay. When the girl comes back, I feel relaxed. I don't have to cook anymore. The big girl can do it."
The old man smiled.
Huang Ping said: "Auntie, I'll bring you some of the steamed buns I steamed today. They're so delicious."
The old man said incoherently: "Okay."
Huang Ping said: "Auntie, be careful not to fall. I'll go in and see the big girl."
The old man nodded, waved his hand and said: "Go quickly, go quickly."
Huang Ping let go of her arm and took the lead to walk home.
The cars have already driven into the yard, occupying the originally large yard.
Huang Ping took a look and said, "Oh, there are so many cars here. How many people are you here? Doesn't it cost gas to drive so many cars? Young people just don't know how to live."
Then he looked at the car and said: "These cars look quite expensive. Why do you think you are buying such an expensive car? It is a waste of money. Can't you just drive it if you have a car? You still have to compete to drive a good car."
Yue Qing said helplessly: "Mom, this is someone else's car, not ours. I haven't bought it yet."
"Oh. Even if you buy it, don't buy something too expensive."
Yue Qing nodded and said coaxingly: "I know, I know."
My sister came out of the kitchen when she heard the sound. There was already smoke in the kitchen. It seemed that my sister was already cooking. Xiao Zhang came out after him, holding some firewood in his hand. It looks like a fire is being lit.
Dagu also came out of the vegetable garden, holding some different vegetables in his hands.
"Mom, you're back."
"I'm back, and your sister is still sensible. She cooks as soon as she comes back, unlike you." Chang's mother told him while scolding Luo Yueqing.
Yue Qing said nothing.
Xiao Zhangxing said politely: "Hello, madam, hello, madam."
Dagu over there also said: "Hello, aunt."
Chang's mother said: "Okay, okay, you are so polite. Look, you are already helping with the work. You don't need to do it anymore. I will do it later. You don't know how to do it."
Xiao Zhang said hurriedly: "It's okay, madam, I've learned everything."
Chang's mother ignored him and said, "Okay, you can do it."
Xiao Zhang said, "Well, I'll go in and light the fire." He turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Dagu also said: "Auntie, let me go in and wash all the vegetables."
Chang Mu nodded. "Go ahead."
The eldest sister helped her mother into the small building, and everyone followed.
"Hey, the room has been cleaned. It's better for Yue Zhen."
The eldest sister said: "It wasn't messy to begin with, so I just tidied it up casually."
The living room is very large and empty. The floor is clean and tiled. There are several groups of sofas placed on the wall near the door, surrounding the small coffee table in the middle. Chang's mother took the lead and sat on the sofa, pointed to the sofa opposite and said, "Sit down quickly, everyone."
Qi Yilin and Qiu Yunfang sat across from each other. Uncle Zhou was not sitting upright and was playing with his little nephew in the living room. The little nephew took out a few ornaments from the TV cabinet and was explaining to Uncle Zhou what they were.
Chang's mother glanced at them and said, "The little guy is just naughty, so don't throw him away. He's an old thing."
