Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Sun Xiaomei laughed happily as she spoke, as if the aunt she was talking about was her panacea and spiritual comfort over the years. This made He Yuzhu curious about what kind of person this aunt was.

The road into the mountains is very rugged and the car body shakes a lot. Although it makes people feel uncomfortable, it is a different experience and it feels good.

At this time, Sun Lingxu explained to He Yuzhu the mountains in the distance. It turned out that they were the remnants of the Zhangguangcai Mountains. His aunt made a living in the mountains.

The reason why he didn't mention it to He Yuzhu was that Sun Lingxu felt that even his own parents might not be reliable, let alone his aunt who was married off.

However, the broad-mindedness of the old couple Sun Luqing just now made him feel that there is still true love in the world. Thinking about how his aunt doted on him when he was a child, for this reason, Sun Lingxu was willing to take a gamble.

Seeing that it was getting late, He Yuzhu was afraid that something unexpected would happen. After all, in this era, the three provinces of Northeast China were full of big brothers, some with two legs or four legs, some who could talk and some who couldn't.

"Lingxu, how long will it take to arrive?"

Sun Lingxu took a look at the environment outside the car, thought carefully, and then pointed to the small slope in the distance and said, "Brother Zhuzi, we will arrive after we climb over that small slope."

Victory was just around the corner. He Yuzhu, who was almost falling apart due to the bumps on the broken road, stepped on the accelerator as he saw that the road conditions ahead were a little better. The roar of the car echoed in the mountains, startling a flock of birds that were busy breeding.

After crossing the hill, the view suddenly opens up and you can vaguely see the smoke from the village. The village is not big, but it is exceptionally quiet.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the village, it still attracted a lot of attention, including Sun Lingxu's aunt's family.

Sun Lingxu's uncle is called Wen Liansong, a man of very elegant name, and his aunt Sun Yonghong, they were also as curious as everyone else.

Why does it feel like the little girl who got off the car looks so much like my eldest niece Xiaoya?

Although they looked alike, Sun Yonghong and his wife did not dare to recognize each other when they thought about the conditions of their own families.

On the other hand, as soon as Sun Xiaoya got off the car, she went to look for her aunt among the crowd. Perhaps because of the inferiority complex she had since childhood, Sun Yonghong, like his eldest brother Sun Laoba, liked to hide behind the crowd.

The child had good eyesight and soon saw Sun Yonghong and his wife hiding in the crowd.

He jumped and shouted: "Aunt, I am Xiaoya, San Guo and I are here to see you~"

Sun Yonghong felt like he was dreaming when he heard this. From what Xiaoya said, this was his third nephew whom he loved the most since childhood coming back?

While Sun Lingxu was taking Xiaoya to reunite with her aunt, He Yuzhu was chatting with the village chief of Kaoshantun.

Kaoshantun is different from Sunjiatun. Sunjiatun is inhabited by mostly people with the same surname, while Kaoshantun has mixed surnames. Most of their ancestors came from Guandong. People from all over the world gathered together to survive and keep each other warm, and gradually formed the small village of Kaoshantun.

The village chief of Kaoshantun is named Dong Changsheng. He was once a veteran and has been working in the village since his retirement.

He Yuzhu has always respected the veteran, and so did Feng Jiafeng. In just the time it took to smoke a cigarette, everyone became familiar with each other.

At this time, Sun Yonghong and Sun Lingxu came over after reminiscing about the past.

"Leaders, it's getting late, please sit down at home."

Appearance reflects the heart. Although it was the first time they met, Sun Yonghong gave people the impression of being simple and enthusiastic, and she liked Sun Lingxu and Xiao Ya from the bottom of her heart.

Dong Changsheng is much more lively than Sun Luqing. Every house in the village is made of wood and cannot accommodate so many people.

"Songzi, let's let the guests stay in the wooden house in the village tonight. It's spacious there and the stove is warm enough."

Wen Liansong said gratefully: "Uncle Changsheng, thank you."

"What the hell, why are you thanking me? If a relative from our village comes to stay and can't find a place to stay, they will all stay there. Don't forget to replenish the firewood there afterwards."

"Okay, uncle, come to my house tonight and have dinner with me."

Sun Ruxue and Lou Xiaoe were looking at the wooden sculpture in front of them with curiosity. Sun Ruxue was better as she understood a little bit, but Lou Xiaoe was wondering if this wooden house would be cold.

Sun Lingxu came up to He Yuzhu and whispered, "Brother Zhuzi, I want to give the things in the car to my aunt's family. Can I deduct the money from my salary?"

"Lingxu, this was originally bought for your family. It's your prerogative to give it to whomever you want. Don't talk about money. We came here to eat and drink for free, but we didn't ask for money."

Sun Lingxu nodded, "Brother Zhuzi, thank you."

Then the two of them moved things down from the car together, and the onlookers were shocked. Who would have thought that Wen Liansong's family, which only had two girls, would have such a promising nephew? This made people tremble all of a sudden. Wow~

It’s not that the villagers can’t stand others being better than them, but who doesn’t have a competitive spirit?

Sun Yonghong and Wen Liansong were also frightened by this scene. The couple have always been kind to others and never covet other people's things.

"Lingxu, how much does this cost? It's not worth it. You're bringing so many things to your own home. Are you scolding me and your uncle?"

Seeing that Sun Yonghong was about to get angry, He Yuzhu hurried out to smooth things over and said, "Sister, this is a little gift from us, please don't refuse it, otherwise we will be embarrassed to play in the village."

Wen Liansong saw that He Yuzhu spoke with sincerity, and then thought that they all came by car, so all he could do was to receive them according to the highest etiquette.

"Wife, it's getting late. Should we invite our distinguished guests to our home?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, leaders, please."

He Yuzhu felt it was a bit awkward to always be called leader, so they introduced each other. Sun Yonghong was very "nervous" as he recognized a group of brothers and sisters.

When we arrived at the Wen family's house, we saw two wooden houses, one large and one small. Although it was a bit cramped, the house was very tidy.

The strings of peppers, garlic and various mushrooms hanging at the door are very tempting.

The folk customs of Kaoshantun are very nice. The neighbors of the Wen family were worried that the Wen couple would be too busy cooking, so they all came to help.

Such humane neighborhood relations will become less and less common as time goes by.

He Yuzhu wondered if it was because of his age that he became more and more sentimental.

Lou Xiaoe, who has a special liking for stewing in an iron pot, was quite interested in watching the goose stewed in the farmer's earthen stove and even took the initiative to light the fire for a while.

If firewood in the Northeast wasn't either dry or very oily, He Yuzhu would have been afraid that his wife would burn out the fire.

Fortunately, Lou Xiaoe was self-aware and when he saw that the fire was not going well, he consciously gave up his position and handed it over to professionals.
