It’s the last day of the event “Valentine Love Letter”.
You can still send your love letter by today, everyone~ I am waiting to read all your letter~~
“It’s good to come back, it’s good to come back.”
Mrs. Li Xu rushed forward and dragged Yu Yan’s elbow to prevent him from moving his luggage and kept repeating this sentence in her mouth.
“Wow, big horse!”
The fat boy who followed Mrs. Li Xu from a distance was attracted by the big carriage outside his yard. His loud voice also attracted the attention of the villagers outside the yard to the carriage.
Looking at the way Yu Yan and his sister were dressed and the carriage they were riding, it was obvious that they had lived a good life in recent years.
The old people who knew the brother and sister scratched their heads and wanted to know what happened to the brother and sister in recent years.
Now that they are back, will they stay here in the future?
In short, everyone has a lot of things to say to the brother and sister.
As for the young people who were not familiar with the brother and sister, they wondered when such a magnificent brother and sister appeared in the village. If it weren’t for the wrong occasion, they would have asked the elders around them.
That night, the Li family was very lively, with bright lights all night long.
***
“Xiao Yan, why are you getting up so early to go to the market with your sister?”
Although they had slept for less than an hour or two, the villagers who were preparing to go to the fields were full of energy. When they saw the Yu brother and sister sitting in the ox cart driven by the village old man and preparing to go to the town, they greeted them warmly.
The older generation were all wise and open-minded elders. Last night, no one asked the brother and sister about some taboo and sad topics. They only asked about how the brother and sister ate and lived over the years and when they met again.
As for the younger generation, they didn’t know more obscure things. The room of the Li family was only so big, so they were all driven back to their own homes last night. They didn’t hear any topics, let alone discuss anything.
Weren’t those old people curious? Not necessarily.
But sometimes people have to pretend to be confused. No matter what, now Yu Yan is back and standing in front of them in good health, that is good enough.
“Well, I haven’t been back for several years. I want to see the changes in my hometown.”
Before returning home, Yu Yan was a little hesitant. Perhaps he was still inferior because of his physical condition, but the reactions of his neighbors in his hometown made him let go of his grudge and start to face life calmly.
Ah Wu held her brother’s hand, and with her wide sleeves covering, no one noticed the unusual closeness of the brother and sister.
“It’s time to take a look.”
The villagers carrying hoes and sickles were in high spirits, and they shouted at the old man driving the ox cart to steady the cart.
The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He was about to whip people with his whip, but he didn’t whip them in the end, instead, he laughed.
Yu Yan took a deep breath. The air in the countryside was filled with the fragrance of soil and grass. He could hear loud conversations and laughter. Far away from the intrigues of the palace, his soul seemed to be liberated.
Yu Yan held his sister’s hand back, and the haze in his eyes faded a lot.
***
The town was much more prosperous than when Yu Yan and Ah Wu left.
On both sides of the street were villagers who came to set up stalls to sell seasonal vegetables and fruits, as well as some peddlers carrying miscellaneous goods.
There were also a few breakfast stalls, selling a bowl of steaming hot wontons for three cents. The wontons were big and the fillings were large. The bowls were sprinkled with chopped green onions and poured with boiling water.
In an instant, the surrounding area was filled with the aroma of chopped green onions and the rich and fresh aroma of dumpling soup.
Yu Yan and Ah Wu both came out after breakfast. When they smelled the aroma of wonton soup, they couldn’t help but order one bowl.
Ah Wu took two soup spoons and shared the same bowl of wontons.
Even though the brother and sister now had more wealth than they could squander in several lifetimes, frugality was still in their nature. When they were not hungry, neither of them wanted to waste it.
“It’s hot.”
Ah Wu was a little anxious. After the wontons came, she blew on them a few times and swallowed them impatiently. As a result, the scalding filling burned her tongue.
“You are so old, but you are still like a kitten.”
Yu Yan quickly poured her a cup of herbal tea and asked her to drink a sip to neutralize the temperature in her mouth.
“It hurts–”
Ah Wu acted coquettishly.
She knew that the man in front of her was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and loved her the most.
“You deserve it.”
Yu Yan blamed her with his mouth, but his hands did the exact opposite.
