Chapter 867 Getting Better and Better
"Come on, come on," Mei Jiayan and Mei Jianzhong put their hands on their hips and their foreheads, looking forward to it. A nephew and daughter-in-law hugged the child and said to him happily, "I've got off the car."
"Is everyone there?" Feng Yiping asked the uncle, seeing the crowd gathered at the entrance of the village from a distance.
Today they deliberately chose to come back at noon, thinking that those who went to work would go to work, and those who would go to the fields would go to the fields. They never thought that there were still so many people waiting here.
"We didn't say you came up today?" said the uncle.
"What's so strange about this," said the second uncle, "I know you were in town yesterday, but you didn't come to see grandpa today?"
After getting out of the car, another group of people gathered around, "It's back, okay!"
"It's fine, uncle, aunt, you're fine too?" Feng Yiping almost had to stop for a while after taking a step to greet these relatives.
Feng Yiping couldn't tell who was who, but it was definitely right to call him uncle and aunt.
"He's fine outside, and he's fine staying in the capital for the past few months. The sun is so bright, so everyone will come home for tea later," the uncle greeted him helpfully.
"Yiping, do you remember who I am?" Suddenly a person in a striped T-shirt stood up and asked in front of him.
"Hi cousin, I haven't seen you for several years, you are still in such good health," this person, Feng Yiping still remembers, was the one who made Feng Yiping drunk when he was sitting at the table.
Seeing that Feng Yiping really remembered himself, the uncle smiled so much that his mouth was full of yellow teeth, "Life is comfortable and your health is good. Speaking of which, I have to lose you a lot,"
The third uncle explained to Feng Yiping that the uncle's two sons and daughter-in-law both work in the industrial park. He and his wife take care of their grandchildren at home and raise silkworms twice a year, earning a good income.
"Cousin, what are you talking about, I didn't do anything,"
"Yiping, I won't say too many polite words. Cousin Yilao is telling you that if something like this happens again in the future, you can't stand alone in the front. You don't know. You have been in the capital for the past few months. Parents are anxious, and we big guys are also anxious, well, your grandpa is still waiting there," he patted Feng Yiping on the shoulder.
At the end of the crowd, Mei Jianzhong stood in front of the door with his hands on his hips, watching his nephew approaching, he would not be excited at all, "Here we are, hurry up, go inside and drink water,"
The grandfather, who was wearing a white sweatshirt, looked pretty good, but he looked thinner than before, and his hair was thinner than when we saw him last time.
He wears a hearing aid in his ear, but his voice is still not low, probably because he is used to it, but it is not bad, and he sounds quite calm.
This is probably the first holiday of the noodle factory except for Chinese New Year, and the three aunts are busy cooking. "I haven't seen you for more than two years, Yiping, you are already an adult," the eldest aunt came over with a plate of watermelon.
"Sister, you said that," the second aunt said in a low voice, seeing that no outsiders came in, "Yiping's daughter is already one year old, and she is a father, why is she not an adult?"
"What your cousin said just now is reasonable," Mei Jianzhong drank tea from a large enamel mug, "It is important to do things, but don't forget that you are also a person with young and old. Things like that need to be thought about,”
"I remember grandpa," Feng Yiping didn't make any excuses, "You just need to be in good health,"
As an 84-year-old man, my grandfather's physical condition is really not bad.
Without goingssip, grandpa urged, "Is the meal ready? Hurry up, Yiping and the others will definitely not be able to leave today,"
It's true, when eating, the house is like a revolving lantern, and they all come to ask Feng Yiping to go to the house, a bit like the Chinese New Year, "We don't treat you as a guest. If you don't eat, you always ask for water." have a drink,"
…………
After three o'clock in the afternoon, he finally entered Feng Jiachong's range. Feng Yiping greedily looked outside at the familiar, no, in fact, everything that was a little unfamiliar, "Is it a little unrecognizable?" Feng Zhenchang asked his son with a serious face.
"It really is,"
"In the past two years, not only our village has become richer, but the surrounding villages have also become better off. Although the changes are not as great as those in the big cities outside, it is really not bragging to change every year,"
"Just say that these houses are no worse than those in the rich coastal areas," Mei Qiuping said proudly.
What Feng Yiping cares most is not these houses, but other things, such as the people who greet them enthusiastically, and the clothes on their bodies. Few people still wear clothes made by tailors.
The cars parked in front of every house, although the most common ones are vans, and most people are still motorcycles, but this is also a manifestation of affluence.
Those small roads in the roadside are no longer dirt roads, or are paved with stones casually, but are now either made of regular stones or cement.
Also, those small shops that you can see on the side of the road without walking too far...
What pleased him the most was the street lamps and bus stop signs on the roadside. These things that people in the city turn a blind eye to, these most basic public service facilities, appeared in their remote countryside. It is nothing but an epoch-making change. point.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the evolution from a barbaric to a civilized society, at the very least, it has finally successfully entered the inside of the Hua from the outside.
"Yiping," Brother Dongzheng rushed over on a motorcycle and stopped next to the car, "Hehehe, you're back!"
"Come back bro,"
Feng Yiping was also very happy with his cousin's unfeigned joy. Back then, their cousins were not so close.
Except for the relationship between parents and children, the quality of all other relationships in the world will be directly or indirectly linked to the economic situation.
When the granary is full, you know etiquette. Only when you have enough food and clothing, can you have the conditions, heart and energy to maintain various emotions.
"Where are you going?" Feng Zhenchang asked.
"Where are you going? I just came here to welcome you. Why is it so late? Many people are waiting at the village headquarters after lunch. Well, I will open the way for you."
A few minutes later, a man carrying a bag of rice on the back of a motorcycle saw Feng Yiping and slammed on the brakes, "Uncle is back."
"I just came up from my grandfather's house, and now I don't grow food at home?"
"How can cash crops make money in food? Didn't the food factory introduce new products? I have planted all broad beans this year. I heard that you were in the capital a while ago. As long as you are fine, you will be fine when you come back,"
"Please take care, come and sit at home when you have time,"
Feng Zhenchang saw that his son skillfully followed these people around, "When you were young, you didn't even say hello to people when you met them, but now you've made great progress."
"Hey, you've grown up," Feng Yiping smirked.
Then, seeing that person turned around and rode in front of their car just now, smiled at Feng Yiping, and rushed to walk side by side with Brother Dongzheng. Is this also clearing the way?
It may be that there are many people who like to join in the fun, but Dongzheng and the others did not invite each other. After a short meeting, there are more and more motorcycles in front of the car.
…………
Li Zhixiong went to Feng Jiachong one step earlier. As a reporter, he was as sensitive to the changes in this small mountain village as Feng Yiping. drummed up.
But here is different, here is the improvement of the system, and it will get better and better in the future.
Now the three of them are struggling to walk up a hill with big bags on their backs, preparing to take a panoramic view of this modern new countryside deep in the mountains. The assistant who was focusing suddenly said, "Oh, there are racing cars in this place?"
Li Zhixiong saw that on the road at the foot of the mountain, there were more than a dozen motorcycles of different colors, which were photographed in an untidy square formation. Racing cars? He glanced back, and slapped the assistant on the head angrily, "That's clearing the way, please take a picture for me,"
The assistant saw the car behind, "Tsk tsk, there are sixteen motorcycles clearing the way, more than the state guest guards,"
This time, it was Li Zhixiong who expressed his objection, "Can these two be compared? That's etiquette, it's spontaneous,"
While they were filming, they saw the car door open, Feng Yiping got down, and sat on the back seat of a motorcycle, "Brother, let's go,"
Parents are fine with such a grand etiquette, but he dare not accept it.
…………
Feng Yiping was drunk again, he could politely decline the entertainment from other places, but he couldn't avoid the wine in his own house.
Everyone said that, if nothing else, the village finally had a graduate from a prestigious university.
Of course, Feng Yiping himself is also very happy, not for anything else, just for the progress of his hometown.
When I woke up, it was around ten o'clock when reporter Li woke up the night before.
In the bedroom on the second floor, Feng Yiping, who just woke up, was a little confused, and couldn't remember where he was for a while.
His mother's voice downstairs made him realize that he was at home.
As soon as he got up, Mei Qiuping heard the movement, and stepped up, "Are you awake? Are you still uncomfortable? You said that you father and son are really, you want to get drunk together,"
"Hehe, I'm happy today,"
"Happy? Are you going to find yourself guilty if you're happy?"
The adult Wenhua came up with a glass of water, "Uncle, drink water,"
Wen Hui was also there, "The movie is still playing, uncle, do you want to watch it?"
Open-air movie, I haven't watched this for many years, "Of course I have to watch it,"
"Mom, is Dad okay?"
"What can he do? He's so drunk that he's unconscious, and everything is mine. I've always worked hard for him for decades," Mei Qiuping said angrily.
In this case, Feng Yiping doesn't take it seriously now, this is the style of getting along with parents, if you only listen to the literal meaning, then you are too naive.
Objectively speaking, Dad has given up smoking and controlled alcohol these years, which is much better than before.
"Go ahead, wash your face, and put on a hat again, be careful of the cold wind blowing your head."
…………
As soon as you go out, you can see the original threshing ground, which is now equivalent to the central square in the village, and it is also a place for drinking in the afternoon. Movies are playing, the sound of guns and cars, and the tense music. It sounds so lively.
"what movie?"
"The Matrix is the one that dodges bullets," Wen Hui said, and started to move. After two years in the military, he still held the silly and innocent optimism before. Of course, it might just be in front of Feng Yiping. That's all.
Moreover, even if he is really stupid and naive now, it doesn't matter, the conditions of his family can make him always happy like this.
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
"No," the two guys shook their heads in unison, not sure if it was true or not, Feng Jiachong's young people of the right age are in high demand now.
"Did someone introduce you to a girlfriend?"
"Someone came to the house many times to be a matchmaker for my father,"
"Puchi," Feng Yiping couldn't help laughing. Brother Huafu looks pretty good these days. He has been widowed for many years and has two such big sons. It is unimaginable in ordinary rural areas. .
"You don't object, do you?"
"We, have no objection," Wenhua said.
"Uncle, next, let us drive to the capital, right?" Wen Hui asked.
The combination of these two sentences of the two brothers actually shows that they still care a little bit, but if they stay with Feng Yiping all the time and spend less time at home, then it doesn't matter.
"Yes, the reserved car is coming soon. However, you are not just drivers. If you are free, you are in the security department. Also, you have to learn something, such as English. I can't take you abroad in the future, and I have to do it for you. translate,"
"No problem, let's learn now," said the two guys who were a bit sad, and immediately became very happy, going abroad, hehe, that's a good thing.
They were talking and walking slowly under the street lights. When they arrived, the two-hour-long The Matrix had just finished playing. It felt that it was not very popular. The first part of this series was already a bit obscure.
The second one is good, at least this kind of thing is familiar to everyone. It tells the story of a rural girl who worked hard in the city and finally had a good love and career.
Such a movie, whose investment and storyline cannot be compared with The Matrix at all, is more liked by everyone, because it tells the story of most rural people.
Many people in Feng Jiachong had this experience. A few years ago, many people had to go to a strange city to find a living. Of course, no one was as lucky as the heroine in the movie.
What they like, and the name of the movie, "Better and Better".
