155. Happy Family On Iveco Express, Yang Weidong’s face was not very good-looking, and he felt that he had been put down in front of old neighbors whom he had not seen for a long time. But today is the 29th of the Lunar New Year, a day for family reunion, so I suppressed my unhappiness for the time being and didn't say anything more. And when Yang Man chatted with Yang Yi before, what she wanted to know most was actually another thing. However, he was interrupted by Yang Yi sending his Walkman and meeting Yang Hailong's family on the way, and he forgot about it for a while. When she thought about it again after getting in the car, the ancient town was already in sight. The car drove to the old house where Yang Yi lived. His uncle and his relatives had helped tidy up the house early - the bluestone courtyard was spotless, and there were still traces of wet water on the ground. It had obviously been cleaned just now. Soon after, the door and window lattice were washed clean, and the dusting had been completed, but there was still a blank with nothing on it. I guess they were waiting for Yang Yi and the others to put the lip couplets on themselves, as well as Shen Tu, Yu Lei and the like. The New Year’s customs in Xizhi Ancient Town are somewhat different from those in the city. In other words, in Jiangnan Province, even neighboring counties do not have exactly the same New Year’s customs. Apart from the common features of Laba porridge and stove worship, the rest of the activities are much more casual. As for things like lip-sticking couplets and New Year pictures, it can be done any day from the 28th to the New Year's Eve before noon, so the clan members in my hometown just helped clean up the house, but did not do these things on their behalf. matter. As soon as the car entered the town, a group of children followed behind it. When they entered the old house of the Yang family, there was even more of a crowd surrounding them, making it almost impossible for anyone in the car to get out. After the uncles, uncles, aunts, and aunts yelled and got candies and red envelopes containing 5 yuan notes from Yang Weidong, the group of children dispersed happily, but there were still a few who stayed. He is a junior in Yang Yi's large family. "Xiao Jian, Sisi, they are running around again!" When he returned to his hometown, Yang Weidong was in a much better mood. He stuffed a lot of candies into the pockets of the two children, and then hugged the two children and pretended to be calm. Face: "They are all new clothes! It's not even noon yet, and they are already dirty. Look, grandpa doesn't care about you!" The boy named Xiaojian, with a chubby face and a tiger-like head, was eager to wait at this moment. He peeled off a big white rabbit and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Second uncle, grandpa asked me and Sisi to wait for you at the door! After asking you to come back and pack up, hurry over to the big house." Sisi is a girl, much quieter than Xiao Jian. At this time, both hands are stretched into the big pockets inside the clothes, holding a pocket full of toffee, but she is still embarrassed to take it out and eat it. After hearing his brother's words, he also said crisply: "Yes, second uncle, let's go over. Grandpa, grandma, third grandpa, third grandma, and seventh grandpa and seven grandma are all waiting for you." When I heard that, everyone was there. Waiting for their turn, the two brothers Yang Weihong and Yang Weidong hurriedly asked a few juniors to move things, and after thanking the driver, they put the things into the house, then took their respective gifts and went to the big house. Go over there. The Yang family is not considered a big family in Xizhi Town. They only have five rooms in total. They live not far from each other. I saw two children jumping ahead and leading the way along the river. Less than a hundred meters later, they crossed another stone bridge and entered a courtyard similar to Yang Yi's. The courtyard was already filled with more than 20 people. Four old people gathered around a large table in the middle and were paddling the Great Wall. There are two tables next to it, where the brothers-in-law, aunts-in-law and sisters-in-law of Yang Weidong's generation are smoking and drinking tea, each chatting about topics of interest. There were four or five children running around in the yard. Two of them were slightly older and were reading a book under the tree by the wall of the yard. The other three little ones were throwing firecrackers towards the outside of the yard. "Hey, it's Wei Hong and Wei Dong who are back!" Yang Yi had just entered the house, and a sharp-eyed woman inside put down the melon seeds in her hand and came up to him with a smile on her face. Others also said hello, and the old people at the middle table also smiled and stopped what they were doing, turning their heads to look at Yang Weidong and his party. For a time, the courtyard was full of laughter and lively but not noisy, but rather a joyous scene. "Second uncle, third uncle, seventh uncle!" The five sisters here led their children forward and gave gifts to the elderly one by one before giving them their gifts. Several old people were smiling so hard that their mouths were a little wide open, so they pulled a few juniors to look up and down and muttered. "Hey, look at Manman, you came back in August, right? It's only been half a year, and you've become a big girl, so quiet." "Linlin, you've grown taller again? You still look like you're in junior high school, you're so fast I have become a high school student." Someone next to me laughed and said, "Aunt Qi, what are you saying?Yes, Xiaolin will be a high school student after her high school entrance exam next year. She still has half a year to go, so things are going very fast! " When the topic turned to children's studies, it always aroused heated discussions among the elders. As soon as the conversation started, several old people simply put down the mahjong tiles in their hands, and Yang Yi's seventh uncle hugged him Yang Man, the only girl among the brothers, had a smile on her old face: "Manman, are your grades in school okay? I heard that your foreign language middle school is the best school in Yuezhou! Studying is not hard, right?” After hearing this, Yang Man smiled shyly and said, “It’s okay, mother-in-law, I can only call it average. " Then I didn't know what was going on, and subconsciously glanced at Yang Yi next to me, and explained to the old man who was holding me: "Grandma Qi, the first high school is the best school in Yuezhou, and our foreign language can only be ranked second. two. ” The old people in the yard are all elderly and rarely go out of the ancient town. I heard that my granddaughter studied foreign languages ??and it was one of the best schools in Yuezhou, so I subconsciously ignored that “one” and thought that foreign languages High school is the best. But hearing Yang Man say this didn't affect their interest. They still laughed and said: "The second place in Yuezhou is quite impressive, isn't it? How many schools are there in the city? Are there more than 20 high schools? ” “ Where do we stop at twenty? Someone next to him who knew something about this answered: "Counting all the districts, as well as children's high schools, there are almost forty schools." " "Oh, it's really amazing that Manman goes to the second-ranked school among so many high schools. Yang Ming and Yang Lin should also learn from your sister. " As soon as the old man said these words, Yang Ming and Yang Lin next to them nodded repeatedly with a grimace, enduring the torture of the old people. " During the Chinese New Year, what children fear most is that their parents and elders are still focused on their studies. , but now there are several grandparents fighting together. Even if they are not happy, they have to be patient and pretend to be good. "Are you okay at school? "The seventh uncle next to him swept his eyes over Yang Man's three siblings and saw Yang Yi who was silent in the crowd. He also hesitated in his heart. "In this situation, if they don't say a few words to this child, it will seem like they are treating one favorably. ; But when it comes to studying, Yang Yi’s grades have never been outstanding, and he always feels that it will embarrass the child. But after thinking about it, he finally nodded to Yang Yi: “It doesn’t matter which school you go to, the important thing is to work hard. That’s it, don’t lose heart! You also know that your mother is relying on you now. " As soon as these words came out, the three Yang Man siblings looked weird, as did the adults around them. Finally, Yang Jie said quickly: "Aunt Qi, Yang Yi went to No. 1 High School, and the school is better than Man Man. . " The seventh uncle hadn't understood the meaning of Yang Jie's words yet, and nodded repeatedly: "Oh, that's good, that's good" Then he was stunned: "Xiaojie, what did you say? One high? Is the primary school going to the high school? " The whole table fell silent in an instant. Several old people stared at Yang Yi blankly, and their minds were a little confused for a moment. There were still people chatting to themselves next to them, but they were soon stopped in the middle of the yard. This kind of quiet contagion caused all the monks to look over confusedly, wondering what happened. "Do you go to a high school?" Is it the best high school in Yuezhou that Manman just mentioned? "The seventh uncle's eyes grew wider and wider, and his voice gradually became louder. Yang Jie stopped talking at this time, but glanced at her second sister. When Yang Min saw her sister looking over, of course she understood what she meant, and He quickly replaced Yang Jie and said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Qi is studying in No. 1 High School, but he was specially recruited, so it doesn't count. " After listening to Yang Min's words, some people nearby figured out what the reason for the silence just now was, and they were suddenly surprised. None of them stopped chatting, but looked at Yang Yi in surprise, and others He asked Yang Min directly: "You were specially recruited? Why were you specially recruited? " Others directly shouted at Yang Yi: "It's not easy. You were specially recruited into the first high school without saying a word? I thought you were studying in No. 3 Middle School. What specialties have you developed? Tell us about it too. " The eyes of twenty or thirty people gathered on Yang Yi and Yang Min. The boy didn't care. Not to mention his previous life, in the six months of his rebirth alone, he had experienced countless times of being noticed, so at this time, a group of people He looked calm and quiet, smiled and didn't say much. But Yang Min rarely received such attention in front of a large family, and had never been the center of attention. Fortunately, he was a member of his own family. Because of the vanity of mother and son, after a while, I got used to such a scene, don't look at my mouth.He was humble all the time, and in his heart he already wanted to look up to the sky and laugh. "He doesn't have any special skills! He just wrote some tofu articles, and he happened to be noticed by a teacher from the first grade of high school!" It was the first time for a woman to feel proud in front of so many people. She kept warning herself not to be embarrassed, but her eyes were confused. It’s almost out of sight. Although these relatives in my hometown do not look down on mother and son like Ma Junzhang Qinjing, and several elderly people are very concerned about their lives, but compared with other children in the family who are better at studying, they are still a little difference. Just like Yang Man, because she is a girl and has good grades, she always gets some extra small rewards; and Yang Lin, because of Yang Weidong, some elders are also very kind to him. But now in front of so many people, Yang Yi suddenly became the one who received the most attention. Even the tribe members looked at him with surprise and envy. The satisfaction in Yang Min's heart was simply infinite. . "Publish an article? Huh! I haven't seen that Xiao Yi is so ruthless!" "What article are you writing? You can get a special call from the first grade! Is it published in a newspaper, or is it selected in some composition selection?" "This It’s true Fourth sister, you don’t have to worry now, Yang Yi is so promising now!” Accepting everyone’s admiration and congratulations, Yang Min was completely speechless. Taking this opportunity, she took out the gifts she had prepared for several elderly people and children. When these gifts were taken out, what they got was not only surprises and praises, but half of the courtyard took a breath and looked at the things Yang Min put out. "This is the medicinal material for the second uncle, third uncle, and seventh uncle to make wine. This is cordyceps, and this box is ginseng. We can also buy wolfberry and polygonatum and other things here, but we don't have all the ingredients." He didn't want to be the one who stood out, but he couldn't help but his mother glared and pinched her arms. Yang Yiyi smiled bitterly and stepped forward to explain to the elderly people. "This Ouch, what a waste of money. It's just a medicinal wine, some local medicinal materials are enough, and you want to buy this thing!" Yang Yi's second uncle was not good at words, and his mouth moved for a while, not knowing what to say, leaving three My uncle and my seventh grandpa were scolding each other, but they still had bright smiles on their faces. Since my mother held a gun to the front desk, I had to perform the show well no matter how reluctant I was. I smiled at a few old people and took out two pillow-like things and gave them to each of the two old ladies. one. "What kind of strange thing is this? A pillow?" Yang Yi's grandma took it with a smile from ear to ear, and her hand felt heavy: "Oh, why is this pillow so heavy?" "It's not a pillow, this is a health massage. Device!" Yang Yi smiled and asked the old man to lean on the chair, and then turned on the switch on the "pillow". He only heard a buzzing sound and saw the old lady's whole back trembling. "Ouch! Ouch! It's so comfortable!" Grandma Qi closed her eyes in comfort after experiencing a new thing, and hummed with great enjoyment: "It's just like Dr. Niu giving me a massage!" The second uncle and grandma next to her looked at it. Her curiosity aroused, and she couldn't wait to let Yang Yi show her a game. He didn't even play mahjong, and simply ordered someone to move a recliner and sit aside to enjoy it. By the time Yang Yi distributed the gifts to several children, the courtyard was already buzzing with noise. Most of them looked grateful and satisfied, smiling and saying thanks to the mother and son. However, in such a big family, there are always some people who are not very broad-minded, so they inevitably criticize the mother and son in a sour way: " Fourth Sister (Xiao Min), you have made a fortune. All these things are quite expensive. How much does it cost together? " "It doesn't cost much, let alone Yang Yi's royalties. That's enough. He said that his uncle, grandparents, and grandparents were always kind to him. He couldn't be filial to them before, but now that he can make money, he has to bring something back. " Yang Min laughed and took all the credit. He blamed it on his own son, and then heard everyone flattering Yang Yi like a young genius, and then he pretended to be humble with great satisfaction. But even in such a secretly happy situation, she still remembered her son's instructions. What's more, Yang Min also knew that people talk too much, so she would not tell the truth. She would just do Tai Chi with a smile. fist. Of course, some people took Yang Weidong to the side to inquire, and some even took advantage of the opportunity to talk and greet juniors like Yang Man and Yang Min in a roundabout way. However, even Yang Weihong was only vaguely aware of the completely different changes in his nephew, but no one knew the specific situation of mother and son.He just laughed vaguely for a while and then just prevaricated, which made a few people who were interested in inquiring become very dissatisfied. bk b
