Zhou Mingli was very unhappy in his heart. When he was unhappy, he would make them feel unhappy too.
Originally, he didn't agree to go back to his hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival. It was dirty, dilapidated, boring and poor. What was there to do
If he had wrong expectations about rural life before, but after listening to the complaints from his classmates who had experienced rural life, that little expectation disappeared without a trace and turned into deep contempt. and disgust.
"Do you know? They wash clothes and vegetables in a small ditch at the door. Dongyou washes vegetables. There are many children peeing in the water. When eating, they don't dare to touch the vegetables on the plate. When they see Those dishes remind me of those children peeing in the water—"
"Their toilets are all outside the yard and have no doors. When I was having a good time, someone suddenly broke in - once he was almost frightened and fell into the kang - no, I heard it right, they The toilet is just a big kang, and the feces in it are piled up and fermenting, and maggots will crawl into my shoes—"
"What's that? All the meat they eat has cocoa maggots - they are reluctant to throw away the maggot-infested meat. They wash off the maggots and continue eating - it's really disgusting -" - He didn't want to come, his father Don't want to come either. But his mother Fang Yijing repeatedly insisted that she would go back to her hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival next year, because she had not celebrated the Spring Festival in her hometown for many years. The father persisted and agreed to the mother's request. He couldn't hold on alone, so he just followed him back.
He felt that since his mother's hometown was next to Yanjing City, no matter how poor it was, how poor could it be
But no, the ride was bumpy, and the car skidded several times and almost crashed into a snow ditch. He was filled with fear and disgust at the place he wanted to go.
When I arrived at my destination and saw that I had come to a primitive village, I felt that the vegetables soaked in urine and the maggot-infested toilet were beckoning in front of my eyes, and I could no longer suppress my anger.
He didn't dare to get angry at his parents, but if he said a few unseemly harsh words in front of his poor relatives - they could just listen in frustration and then cringe and apologize to him, saying that the conditions were not good and they couldn't entertain him. I take great care of you, isn’t that the style and style that rural people should have? It is said that children's words are unbridled, but the kid's casual words actually made the relatives who came with smiles on their faces feel cold.
The son does not think the mother is ugly, the son does not think the family is poor. Yanziwu is half of Zhou Mingli's hometown, and being belittled and scolded by him makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Besides, the people in Yanziwu are naturally proud, and they view everything outside with suspicion and contempt. When the proud Yanziwu people heard Zhou Xingli describe Yanziwu as a place where "birds don't poop", some of them looked a little unhappy.
Lu Wan and her aunt Fang Yixin stood at the front of the crowd to greet them. When they heard Zhou Mingli's words, they couldn't help but pause in their steps. The two of them stopped and others naturally stopped as well.
When the atmosphere was awkward, my sister-in-law Fang Yijing walked out from the other side of the car and shouted: "Zhou Mingli, how can I shut up? That's Yanziwu - my mother's home. My mother was born and raised there. Yes, mom thinks it’s pretty good, what am I dissatisfied with?”
Zhou Mingli curled his lips, obviously he didn't agree with his mother's point of view, he just didn't want to quarrel with her.
The door of the passenger compartment opened, Fang Yijing's husband Zhou Fan opened the door, looked at his son, and said to his wife: "Forget it, the kid just said a joke casually, I don't want to be on the same level as him - Numerology is not a big deal, so you have to save some face for him in front of others.”…
Zhou Fan also felt that this was a trivial matter. Besides, my son was right, Yanziwu is not a place where birds can poop. He had come here for the third or fourth time, and he still couldn't remember the way. Later, when his wife came back, he turned her away with the excuse of busy business. He really didn't want to come to that place.
Fang Yijing felt angry, but it was not easy to argue with her husband and son in front of her brother and sister-in-law. Their opinions were so ingrained that she couldn't change them for a while.
Zhou Fan stood there looking at everyone with a somewhat arrogant attitude, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, they came back late—"
Lu Wan's mood had calmed down and she said, "It's okay, just come back. Everyone is waiting for us to eat."
Then he turned to look at Zhou Mingli and said, "Is that a numerology? He hugged me when I was born, and I went to drink the birthday wine when I was one year old - how come you are so big in the blink of an eye?"
"Sister-in-law." Fang Yijing came over and pulled Lu Wan's leg and said, "I'm sorry. Are you all impatient? After getting off the plane, Zhou Fan said that since he arrived in Yanjing, he would stop by to visit the leader of Yidong. After all, It seemed more respectful to go there to pay my respects a few years ago. The power in Shiwang was out again, and we have been unable to contact us."
"It's okay." Lu Wan said with a smile. "It's good to come back safely. I'm worried about what happened to us on the road, and I'm planning to let Fang Yan drive to find us."
Fang Yan parked the car and walked over, took the initiative to say hello to his sister-in-law, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, long time no see."
"Fang Yan." My sister-in-law hugged Fang Yan and said, "Just now my mother told me that the boy grows up fast, but I don't grow up faster? Then we can get married, right? Do you have a girlfriend? Do you have any?" Please take it home for the New Year, and my sister-in-law will help me check it."
Fang Yan is the only child of the Fang family and is loved by her three aunts. Fang Yan and his sister-in-law also have a very good relationship. My sister-in-law has not been back for several years, and he has not seen her for a long time. Now he is full of joy.
"Definitely." Fang Yan said with a smile. He greeted Zhou Fan again and said, "Uncle, welcome home."
"Yes." Zhou Fan nodded, shook Fang Yixing's legs in front of him, and said, "Is the meal ready? I have to have a few drinks with my brother tomorrow."
Zhou Fan took the initiative to tell Fang Yixing to shut up, but Fang Hao and Zhao Chengcheng who were standing next to Fang Yixing ignored him.
Fang Hao is a very good man. He was born in a poor family and was adopted by Mr. Fang as his disciple. Later, she fell in love with the master's eldest daughter Fang Yixin, and then she married into the Fang family. Is Zhao Chengcheng a member of the Zhao family of Yanziwu? The Zhao family not only has a good reputation in the world, but also has a lot of property outside. He is a proud and arrogant person. He took the initiative to come out to greet him, but Zhou Fan regarded him as nothing, and naturally felt unhappy.
Fang Yixing pulled Zhou Fan into the yard and said, "It's been fine for a long time. We must have a few drinks tomorrow. Fang Hao, integrity, let's not be lazy. We must keep Zhou Fan company tomorrow." He It’s rare to come back.”
"Numerology. Come and see my eldest cousin." Fang Yiqing pulled Zhou Mingli to Fang Yan and said, "Then he told me about Fang Yan's cousin."
Fang Yan stretched out his leg, and Zhou Mingli curled his lips and said, "You don't have to be so old-fashioned, right? You really need to hold the leg -"
Fang Yijing slapped Zhou Mingli on the head and said, "Why do you shut up with my cousin?"
Fang Yan waved his legs and said: "Mei Jing is Mei Jing. It's due to his conditions. In fact, he doesn't like to shake hands with others at all times -"
After hearing what Fang Yan said, Zhou Mingli had a good impression of Fang Yan. He looked at Fang Yan and asked, "My mother said that everyone in our family knows martial arts. Is that true?"
"Really." Fang Yan nodded.
