Siheyuan: Liu Guangtian's happy life

In the evening, Liu Guangtian bought some meat to entertain Liu Hailong and the others. There was fish, meat and wine. It was a rare occasion for them to come, so it wouldn't hurt to have a meal.

Relatives have different levels of closeness and distance between them. After so many years of no contact and considering the relationship between the two families, Liu Guangtian felt that that was just the way it was. He didn't care about Liu Haizhong, let alone his son.

While having dinner, Liu Hailong and his two sons looked at the dishes on the table with shining eyes. They didn't drool, but they kept swallowing their saliva.

The Liu family did not mock or look down on them. After all, it is difficult to have a full meal whether in the countryside or in the city, let alone meat and vegetables.

Liu Haizhong invited them to eat and poured wine for Liu Hailong, his father and his son. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi also sat at the table, while the others sat at another table.

Liu Hailong and his two sons were very satisfied with the meal. At night, they slept in the same room. The youngest, Liu Guangzhu, said, "Dad, fourth brother, can you ask my cousin to arrange a job for me in the factory?"

The fourth brother, Liu Guanghui, also agreed, "Yes, Dad. Our cousin is so capable, it's not impossible for him to arrange something for us brothers."

"Look at their house. It's over 160 square meters. They even have two rooms in the backyard. How rich are they?"

Liu Hailong sighed and said, "If our family hadn't fallen out with your uncle before, there would still be hope. But now, I think it's too late."

Liu Guangzhu: "Why is that so? We are real relatives, cousins ​​after all! If I ask him, will he refuse?"

Liu Hailong scolded, "Put away your face. We haven't been in touch for more than 20 years, but you still call us relatives. You're being generous by not kicking us out today."

"Don't you think about what your grandfather and your mother did? They drove people away and occupied their houses. Now you still want to work? Where do you get the face to do that?"

"With your Third Uncle's attitude, he doesn't even recognize your grandfather. What's the point of saying so much? Just stay at home and farm!"

After hearing what their father said, the two brothers shook their heads and sighed. It was ridiculous that such a good relative was ruined by their family!

The next morning they said goodbye after breakfast. They still needed to go to the city to buy some things for the wedding, and then drive the donkey cart back to the countryside in the afternoon.

The journey is not short, it takes four or five hours to drive a donkey cart.

Time passed quickly and it was Saturday afternoon. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi found Liu Haizhong and asked him what he wanted to bring home the next day and whether he needed to buy something.

Liu Haizhong: "If the second child has meat, then give him some. Bring more peanuts and candies, and give some to the children. Forget about the rest!"

In the evening, Liu Guangtian bought ten pounds of pork belly, four old hens, and a lot of peanut candies, without spending a penny.

Liu Haizhong prepared several sets of clothes and shoes for his mother. As for his father, he had died long ago.

Early on Sunday morning, Liu Guangtian drove his jeep and stopped at the gate of the yard, with Liu Guangqi following behind on his scooter.

Considering that everyone in the family would go back, Liu Guangtian asked his eldest brother to practice more in the past few days, and now he can ride quite well.

Many people in the yard came out to watch. They all knew that the second uncle and his family were going back to their hometown. The eldest sister-in-law did not go because she was pregnant and about to give birth. Liu Guangqi sent her to her father-in-law's house yesterday.

Liu Guangqi brought Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangfu, while Liu Guangtian brought his second aunt, wife, and three little ones!

The timing was just right, the weather was good, and the journey was safe. Liu Guangtian had already given a gun to Liu Guangqi just in case.

It takes two hours to drive to Rongshu Commune, where Liujia Village is located. Liu Haizhong said that there are more than 200 households, most of whom have the surname Liu.

After arriving at the village entrance, adults and children were shocked when they saw the motorcycles and cars. They thought a big shot had come!

They all went out to watch, and a group of children were standing behind, inhaling the exhaust fumes with smiles on their faces, as if the smell was particularly charming.

Following the guidance of Liu Haizhong, he turned left and right and finally arrived at his hometown!

Liu Hailong, his son and daughter were standing at the door waiting.

Liu Haitao, Liu Haizhong's second brother, was also waiting on the side, looking excited and uneasy.

I haven't seen the third brother for more than 20 years. I heard from my eldest brother that his family is doing well and his sons are all successful.

Liu Haitao shook his head and sighed to the old woman next to him, who was the mother of the three brothers, wondering how unfair his father was!

He and the third brother had no objection to his mother. On the contrary, his mother was nice to all the brothers. In rural areas, men usually have the final say, and his mother didn't dare to argue with his father at all.

Except for the eldest brother's wife, she is simply a shrew. If she hadn't been making trouble, the third brother wouldn't have left home for more than 20 years. His heart is broken, so why would he come back?

The same thing happens to him.

After the family got off the car, the eldest uncle, the second uncle and some peers with bangs, brothers, sisters and brothers all came over to welcome them!

Liu Haizhong did not turn his face away. He introduced his wife, children, and daughter-in-law to them one by one, and took out some good cigarettes to give out.

The same goes for Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi, those who give out cigarettes give out cigarettes, and those who give out candy give out candy.

Liu Haizhong's mother stood at the door and looked at her son with tears in her eyes. It has been twenty years and the third son has become fat. He must be living a good life.

Liu Haizhong also saw his mother, walked up to her and hugged her. The two of them talked about the past years and called their son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter and grandson to come up and say hello.

The old lady was so happy looking at her grandson and great-grandson and granddaughter that she couldn't stop smiling and kept saying good things.

The old lady took Liu Haizhong's hand and said, "Don't argue with your father later. It's a happy day."

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong agreed and brought his family into the house. He saw an old man in his seventies sitting in the main room smoking. He didn't even raise his head when he saw the visitor. He was quite fat!

Liu Haizhong called out "Dad" softly.

Well, I'm back!

Liu Haizhong greeted Liu Guangtian and the others, and Liu Guangtian and his three brothers also called him grandpa.

The old man then smiled a little. After all, he was his grandson. Although they were not close, he did not turn his head away.

After saying hello, Liu Haizhong ignored him and continued to do what he was doing at the wedding banquet.

It was almost noon, and Liu Guangzhu brought the bride back soon.

It is said that weddings in the countryside are really lively, with many children chasing bicycles along the way and firecrackers going off non-stop.

Liu Hailong may have saved some money, so he invited six tables of people to his youngest son’s wedding. The dishes were average, with three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, but there was plenty of steamed corn bread!

As long as you have enough to eat, don’t think about anything else. Liu Haizhong and his family also experienced a rural wedding banquet, which was simple.

Didn’t you see that little Jia Jia had a look of disgust on her face? Xiao Rui and Tie Zhu didn’t, they were so happy. They didn’t even know when was the last time they had a wedding banquet.

Liu Haizhong was frequently toasted, and he was showered with compliments, all of which were, "Third brother, my brothers and sisters are suffering, is there any way for you to make money?"

Liu Haizhong has also learned his lesson. He avoided the question and refused to answer. How can I, a worker, help you make money? I won’t starve to death by farming at home, so why do I need a bicycle?

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi also had a drink with some cousins, but it was just a small drink because they still had to drive!
