"Is this it?"

"That should be it. A painting shop... There's a character '王' on the door."

Around noon, two middle-aged people in their thirties, a man and a woman, came to the door of Wang’s Art Shop.

The man carried a large basket in one hand and a bag in the other.

The woman was carrying a bag on her back and holding a note in her hand. She looked into the store and then raised her head to glance at the door.

It was obvious that these two people were villagers who had just come to the city. The eldest sister looked at them and wondered: Are they here to buy paintings too?

"Hello, you two. Do you want to buy New Year pictures?" The eldest sister came forward and asked with a smile.

The middle-aged woman looked the older sister up and down and said to herself, "Why don't I know her?"

"We are not here to buy paintings, we are here to look for someone," the man next to him reacted quickly and said

The eldest sister frowned slightly and smiled, "Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

"Big sister, is this brother Wang Yugui's home?" The woman suddenly smiled at the big sister.

Wang Yugui, Brother Wang? When the eldest sister heard this, she thought: Oh, so you are looking for my brother, Brother Wang, this eldest sister-in-law seems to be very familiar with my brother?

Just as she was about to speak, she heard the woman laughing and said, "Big sister, we are from Xiaowang Village. Brother Yugui left us a note with his home address."

"We just asked someone on the road, and they told us this is it!"

"Ah? You are from Xiaowang Village? Who are you from?" The eldest sister understood the name of Xiaowang Village and asked another question.

The woman smiled and nodded: "Yes, we are neighbors of Yugui's family. I am Aunt Zhang's daughter. My name is Xigu."

Oh, so she is Aunt Zhang’s daughter. The eldest sister understood everything as soon as she heard it.

Xi Gu pointed at the man next to her and introduced him with a smile: "This is my man, Zhu Liuzi. We came to the city today to visit Brother Yugui and Aunt Wang."

"Big sister, they live here, right?"

"Ah, yes, yes," the elder sister responded and nodded with a smile.

He turned back and shouted to the backyard, "Mom, come out quickly, there are guests coming!"

Wang heard the shouting in the kitchen and rushed out. When she saw Xigu, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Oh, isn't this Xigu? Why are you here?"

When Xigu saw Wang, she blinked her eyes and it took her a while to react: "Oh, yes, it's Aunt Wang, right? I, I almost didn't recognize you, hehe!"

"I haven't seen you for a few years. You look older now. You can just take a look at your eyes." Wang smiled.

Xigu smiled and walked forward, pulling Wang's hand, and looked her up and down again: "Oh, no, Aunt Wang, you don't look old at all"

"He looks younger than when he was in Xiaowang Village. He looks better too. He's like a different person."

"Oh, if I met you on the street, I wouldn't recognize you!"

"Oh, look at what you said." Wang heard it and laughed.

Xigu introduced her man

Wang also introduced her eldest sister to the two of them and enthusiastically invited them into the backyard.

The country people speak loudly, and Wang Yugui, who was upstairs, had already heard the noise downstairs.

When I went downstairs, I saw that Xigu and her husband were here!

"Oh, what a rare guest! Sister Xi, Brother Zhu, you are here!" Wang Yugui greeted them with a smile.

When Xigu and her husband saw Wang Yugui, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with a smile. Xigu said with a smile: "Brother Yugui, you haven't been back to the village for a long time."

"It's the end of the year now. Our chickens are doing well this year and they've laid a lot of eggs. My mother asked me to bring some to you."

As Xigu said this, she hurriedly took the big basket from her husband, put it in the main room, and lifted the cloth covering the basket, revealing a basket full of eggs.

"Oh, Aunt Xi, there are so many eggs. You should exchange them for money." Wang saw it and said hurriedly.

Xigu smiled and said, "Aunt, this is specially reserved for you to taste, why would I sell it for any money?"

As she spoke, she took the bag from her man's hand and said with a smile, "There are two more big roosters. I brought them here for you to eat during the New Year!"

"Oh, this, this won't do. You should sell these chickens for money. At the end of the year, the chickens and eggs can still be sold for a good price." Wang saw the two big roosters and said hurriedly.

Then he smiled and said, "Aunt's family also raised a few chickens this year, so we have eggs to eat!"

"Hey, auntie, we don't have anything good to give away. We were helped by Brother Yugui in the past."

"You also lent us your house to raise chickens. This year our life has become better."

"I'll give you some eggs and catch two chickens for you to try. That's only right," Xigu said with a smile.

He added, "My mother has been thinking about you for a long time. Brother Yugui hasn't come back to the village in the past six months. Now that it's the end of the year, she specially asked us to send him here!"

Then, he pulled Wang and said with a smile, "Aunt, why haven't you come back to visit the village in the past two years? My mother is really worried about you!"

"Ha, really? Well, Auntie is busy at home, so she can't leave." Wang heard this and smiled and made an excuse.

I thought to myself: What’s so good about that shabby house in Xiaowang Village!

Then he asked Xigu: "Is your mother okay?"

"It's pretty good. I can eat, sleep and work. Haha." Xigu laughed

Xigu’s man Zhu Liuzi doesn’t talk much. When Xigu is talking, he just stands aside and laughs.

"Brother Zhu, please sit down and have some tea," Wang Yugui called to Zhu Liuzi.

Zhu Liuzi smiled innocently: "Oh, okay, brother Yugui, you take a seat too!"

As he spoke, he sat down, wiped his hands on his clothes, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Xi Gu took out a large bag of small dried salted fish from her bag and said with a smile, "Aunt Wang, there is another bag of small dried salted fish. My mother said that you like to eat this, so she asked me to bring it here!"

"Oh, your mother still remembers it. I really like to eat it." Wang was very moved when she saw the dried fish from her hometown.

Although she had a hard time in Xiaowang Village, the small specialties of her hometown always made her feel at home.

Xigu was a cheerful and talkative person. While chatting and laughing, she helped Wang take all the things to the kitchen and the yard.

At noon, Wang would definitely invite them to have lunch, and Xigu was busy helping Wang prepare lunch.

Wang Yugui was chatting with Zhu Liuzi over there. Wang Yugui asked, "Brother Zhu, did Wang Youcai cause trouble for you in this incident?"

"No, but Wang Youcai seems to want to cause trouble for you again," said Zhu Liuzi.

Wang Yugui frowned after hearing this: "Oh, what trouble does he want to cause me?"
