Siheyuan: Wandering between Two Worlds

The sun was shining brightly, and the sun was shining brightly.

Jiang Yang continued to float on the sea, which would take another 10 days.

Blue Star.

Jiang Yang still got up early. With this system, he couldn't stay awake even if he wanted to. It was completely unreasonable.

When he opened the quilt, a wave of hot air rushed straight to the sky, and his full desire had nowhere to go.

He wiped his nose casually, changed his clothes, stretched a few times, and then started to wash.

When he went downstairs, grandma was already cooking. They still use firewood in the countryside here. There are also gas stoves, but they are rarely used. They only use it when there are guests at home and there are not enough pots, or occasionally when they are alone at home and don't want to light a fire and want to save trouble.

You can use gas in the city, but don't think about it in the countryside.

Another big advantage of burning firewood is that it is easy to ignite the charcoal fire, so it is convenient to roast the fire, especially in winter.

Now there are electric rice cookers. He remembers that when he was a child, he had to salvage the food and steam it in an aluminum pot. He had to prepare a day's meal in the morning.

(ps: The author is definitely older than Jiang Yang, so don't use his age to count the years when reading these. After all, it is a novel, and I like young and handsome people)

"Grandma, let me make the fire."

"No, I'll make it and roast the fire by the way. You go and chat with my granddaughter-in-law and bring the person back to me as soon as possible. I have prepared the red envelope."

Grandma gently stroked Jiang Yang's head, as if she thought of a beautiful picture, and her face was full of smiles.

"Okay, you are busy."

Jiang Yang grabbed the old man's hand, which was warm and not cold at all.

"It seems that the gene drug has improved the body, which is good!"

Poor families like them have two big fears.

The first is that his son cannot find a wife, which is also one of the reasons why the bride price for girls here is getting higher and higher. Your family is 88,000, then I will be 108,000.

There is a girl in his village, the same age as him. Because she was sick when she was young, she has some minor brain problems. Now she has been married three times, has 4 children, and is now divorced. You can think about it, she can get married again in the future.

The second is illness. This is not because they can't afford it, but because the poor people in the country can't afford it.

So a good body is the most important thing, no wonder their company's medicines sell so well.

"Oh, Yang Yazi (dialect) is back. (Jiang Yang is back.)"

Jiang Yang responded and looked back. A slightly fat woman was holding a 2-3 year old child standing at the door of their house. Her hair was a little messy and she had a smile on her face.

"Tsk tsk, Cuicui, isn't this your child again?"

This person is the one who married three times, Huang Cuicui, who is only 25 years old, but her face is full of frost and looks like she is 40 years old. Only the smile on her face has never changed.

"Yes, my daughter is three years old. Her grandparents don't want her, so I brought her back."

Jiang Yang smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say. If he had to count, this is his childhood sweetheart, but there are many people of the same age in their village, so it is more appropriate to say that he is a childhood playmate.

"Is that car yours? It's pretty, but a little small. It can't hold as much as my tricycle."

Huang Cuicui didn't feel Jiang Yang's abnormality, and she kept talking to herself. Perhaps in her opinion, people like Jiang Yang think too much.

Jiang Yang didn't say much, except for occasionally interrupting a sentence or two, letting her talk there, the smile on his face never disappeared. In her opinion, Jiang Yang and others are still the same as when they were children.

~~~

On the highway, a large G-Class was driving fast.

Outside the window, the wind was cold and it began to drizzle. The rain hit the car window, blurring Jiang Yang's vision. He calmly turned on the wipers and his vision became bright again.

"When we get to the city, buy a few more boxes of milk and some fruit. The things you brought are too much for the children and the elderly."

"Okay. Did Xiaofang give you the keys yesterday?"

"Yes, why buy a good house? Isn't it a waste if you don't live there? You will develop outside in the future, so it's better to buy a house outside. Will your wife come back to live here with you?"

"Dad, I also bought a house outside, so don't worry. You can live in the house here if you want to, or leave it if you don't want to. The main thing is that we often come back to the city to do business, pay New Year's greetings, etc. If we have a house, we don't have to run around all the time."

"Well, it's up to you. I've already bought it!"

Jiang Yang: "..."

Why are you so long-winded! Really~~~

After entering the city, they found a fruit stand and bought some bananas and apples, and then they continued on their way.

"Dad, where exactly is she?"

"Let's go to your uncle's house first. Now only your aunt is at home taking care of the children. Your cousin and uncle haven't come back yet."

"What about your sister-in-law? Why isn't she taking care of the children?"

"Oh! Who knows? It is said that they are getting a divorce. They say that such a life is boring and can't handle you young people. Isn't it just living a life? Where does so much energy come from? If you have energy but nowhere to use it, you can work in the fields for a few days and then you will have nothing!"

Jiang Yang was speechless for a moment when he heard his father's words and didn't know how to respond.

Lianchengyuan.

Jiang Yang followed his father and knocked on the door of his uncle's house.

"Knock, knock, knock~~~"

"I'm here."

A rather shrill voice came from inside the door. Just by listening to the voice, you would definitely think it was a very powerful character.

Soon a fat woman opened the door. Her hair was yellow and slightly curly. Her plump face was full of tenderness. She was holding a child of about 3 years old in her arms.

This was his aunt, Li Li.

"Sister-in-law."

"Aunt."

"Oh, it's Lao San and Xiao Yang. Come in quickly. The slippers are in the shoe cabinet. Get them yourself."

As they were talking, they had already returned to the kitchen to pour hot water.

The two put the things they brought in the living room.

Jiang Yang took two steps forward, took the hot water handed over by the aunt, blew it twice, took a sip, and then put it on the coffee table in the living room.

Looking at the little girl in the aunt's arms, Jiang Yang couldn't help poking her little face. The girl seemed to be shy and turned her head away.

"Call me uncle!"

Aunt taught her, but the little girl buried her head in her neck and didn't come out.

"This girl is incompetent and shy."

Aunt gently stroked the back of her head, then looked at Jiang Yang, "Did Xiao Yang bring a girlfriend back this time? I heard from your mother that you already have a girlfriend."

Here, relatives must ask about the following items: those who are not married ask about their partners, those who are married ask about their children, and those who have children ask about their studies!

"No, she's still in Guangzhou. We'll talk next year."

"That's fine. You're just the right age. If you give birth to a big fat boy, your mother will be so happy."

~~~

After chatting for a while, his father took out three stacks of money from the backpack behind him and put them on the coffee table.

"Sister-in-law, we are here today to pay back the money. This is 30,000 yuan. Count it."

Auntie's smile faded and she glared at his father. "Don't worry about your family. Pay back the people outside first."

Jiang Xingbang scratched his head, smiled awkwardly, and explained,

"Sister-in-law, Jiang Yang made some money doing business outside this year, and he can pay it back in one lump sum."

Auntie smiled again with relief and patted Jiang Yang on the shoulder.

"Really? I said that our Xiaoyang will definitely have a promising future. After all, he is the first college student in our Jiang family. In this case, I will accept it."

She picked up the money and put it in the drawer, and said again, "Let's eat at home later. I'll ask my mother to come and help cook for the whole afternoon."

"Sister-in-law, no need. We will take I have to go to several houses to pay back the remaining money."

"Then you can come back after you pay back the money. Xiaoyang only eats a few meals at my house a year. It's not easy for him to come, so he must have a meal at my house. Xiaoyang, you must come."

"Okay, then we will come back after we are done. You can just make some, but don't make too much."

"Just come at the appointed time."

"By the way, aunt, I brought you a health medicine. You can take it when uncle comes back."

"This thing, take one pill every six months, it can strengthen your physical fitness and make you less likely to get sick. Remember to take it."

"I know, you can hurry up and get busy, and come back at noon."

...

After leaving uncle's house, an hour has passed, and the time spent chatting about family matters passed quickly.

"Let's go to your second uncle's house next. Call your cousin first and ask if he's home?"

"Yes."

Jiang Yang called him directly on WeChat. After asking, he found out that the whole family had gone to work in the store, so the two of them turned around and headed to their store.

His second brother was called Jiang Teng. He learned to repair cars with his second uncle. After he graduated, he opened a car repair shop in the city. He has always been the best among the three brothers.

Not long after, Jiang Yang drove directly into the site of a Tengfei car repair shop next to the gas station. There was a separate small yard with a pile of things piled up inside.

There were several cars parked inside, and they seemed to be waiting in line.

As soon as Jiang Yang's G-Class appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of these people. In a small place like theirs, this kind of car is rare.

Even Jiang Teng, who was repairing the car, crawled out from under the car when he heard others talking about it. As a car repairman, he really likes cars.

He grabbed the worker who was about to ask about it and knocked on the glass himself.

But when the car window rolled down, he swallowed his words back instantly, "Third Uncle, Xiaoyang, it's you! I thought a big customer came today."

"Second Brother, are you free now?"

"Free! Alas~~~ No, you get off and drive around for me."

"Uh~~~"

Jiang Yang was pulled down by him. His father got out of the car and took the things out of the trunk, and went into the house to find his second uncle.

Seeing this, Jiang Yang quickly chased after him, and the car followed him.

As soon as he entered the office, he heard his second uncle complaining about his father, "Third brother, you didn't even say hello before you came, making it so chaotic here."

Pushing the door open, Jiang Yang smiled and called out, "Second uncle."

(ps: calling someone here means calling someone, not raising the volume.)

"Xiaoyang is back, come and sit. Did you bring your girlfriend back?"

Looking at the gossiping look of the second uncle, Jiang Yang shook his head, "She didn't bring her this year, but she should come next year."

"That's fine, I heard that you've started a business now, so you must need funds to turn around. If you need anything, find the second uncle."

The second uncle's family borrowed 50,000 yuan last time, and it happened that the second brother just bought a house and spent the money. The 50,000 yuan was the decoration fee they prepared. Knowing that Jiang Yang needed it, they postponed the decoration time for this reason.

As the first college student in the Jiang family, Jiang Yang was deeply loved by these uncles and aunts. Every time they scolded their son, they would talk about him, which made him inexplicably hate him.

In their opinion, Jiang Yang's future achievements will definitely be the highest. This is not only their idea, but also the inherent idea of ​​most rural areas.

But the reality is that when rural children go to college in the city, they go from a world where grades are king to a small society. Many people will be out of touch and unable to adapt.

They can only do English exercises but not speak English. They have poor taste in clothes. Even many girls have never put on makeup.

They have never taken the subway, seen foreign scenery, or even traveled. Many people's first long journey is to college. This is the farthest place he has been in more than 20 years.

They are out of tune and find that they have many shortcomings. In such an environment, some people lose their restraints and become decadent, wandering around Internet cafes and game halls all day long.

Some people are inferior and cowardly, always small and transparent, and occasionally become the object of others' play.

Only a small number of people bravely move forward, change, and adapt to this new world.

And when they get their diplomas, they realize that the big society is more cruel and realistic than this small society, and finally they are ruthlessly slapped on the cheeks by the waves.
