Rural Scenery of Rebirth

The horn rang three times in a row. Lei Xin was the youngest, and she was the most curious. When she heard the sound of a car outside her yard, she couldn't hold it anymore. She greeted Xia Chen and ran away in a hurry. Go see what's going on.

"Could it be that Lei Jun is back?" Xia Chen muttered, but after thinking about it, it was impossible. If Lei Jun came back today, it was impossible not to call him in advance.Besides, there is a dirt road leading into the inner village beside the courtyard of Lei's house. It is possible that some family in the village drove back.

Normally, people from Leijia Village would go to the county town, and they would go to the road outside the village to wait for the long-distance bus that runs to the county town.From Leijia Village to the county seat, it takes only two hours to take a long-distance bus stop and go, and the bus to the county seat will come at a fixed time every day.

The reason why Xia Chen knew about this was because Lei Jun heard everyone mention it when he said he was going back to City H during dinner on the night they came back.

The house of Lei Jun’s family is next to the road, and it belongs to the outskirts of Lei’s Village. The outer village has a smaller population than the inner village, but the houses in the village are relatively dense, and they are not far away. Fruit trees, standing on the ridge of the fish pond, Xia Chen can see the fruit trees full of blue fruits at a glance.

Xia Chen withdrew his gaze and continued to be patient, son, according to the method taught by the old man, sat on the small bench, stared at the fishing line on the level of the fish pond carefully, and waited for the bait to be slowly hooked. The fish was a crucian carp weighing almost one catty. In order to drop this fish, he stood for more than ten minutes with a ball belly in his clothes. He was really tired from standing all the time, and even his feet felt a little numb.

During this period of time, Xia Chen felt that his stomach was obviously getting bigger, and the little guy also gained weight. After standing for a long time, he would feel tired, which was really a burden that could not be beaten or scolded.

Sitting on the stool and waiting slowly, Xia Chen's state of mind was very peaceful and relaxed, breathing the fresh air in the countryside, seeing all the green colors, feeling indescribably joyful and satisfied physically and mentally.

The only thing that made Xia Chen dissatisfied was that after waiting for several minutes, he didn't catch any of them, but the old man caught two more fish. Apart from a small crucian carp, there was actually a grass carp weighing more than two catties.

Moreover, when Mr. Lei caught the grass carp, he laughed and deliberately glanced in Xia Chen's direction.He strung the crucian carp he caught earlier with grass and put it at his feet. It was impossible for this big one to be strung with grass. The old man put the fishing rod on the spot, grabbed one with one hand and walked slowly towards Xia Chen. The main thing is that the bucket containing the fish is placed next to Xia Chen.

"It's been a while, why haven't the fish taken the bait yet?" The old man walked to Xia Chen and said.

Xia Chen shook his head, saying that he didn't understand what was going on.

"Pull up the fishing line to see if the bait has been stolen by fish." Mr. Lei continued.

Xia Chen listened to his words and pulled up the fishing line. Sure enough, the hook was empty, and he didn't know when the bait was stolen by the fish. Just now he stared at the water surface almost unblinkingly. They will be stolen and eaten, the fish in this fish pond are too fine.

"It's okay, just drop it a few more times and you'll know." Seeing Xia Chen's gloomy expression, Mr. Lei smiled in a good mood and comforted him.

Xia Chen nodded and thought, this fishing is not that simple. If the old man hadn't been watching the one that fell just now, he might have to fish for a long time to catch it.

"Give me the hook. I'm putting the bait on you. There are skills in how to put the hook on. Otherwise, even if you don't get eaten by the fish, you will fall off." Seizing the opportunity, Mr. Lei Don't forget the addiction of being a teacher.

Putting the fishing line into the water again, Mr. Lei planned to drop two more and call it a day. This fish is best eaten fresh. If you want to eat it, you can go fishing in the fish pond. If you catch too much and get hurt by the hook, take it home. If you don't eat and you can't support yourself, it's a pity.

Xia Chen's will, Zi also came up, thinking that today he must rely on his own strength to catch a fish.

After waiting patiently for 2 minutes, the fishing line moved slightly on the horizontal surface. Xia Chen immediately showed joy on his face, stood up gently, and followed the old man's teaching, pulled the fishing rod upwards, and saw the hook Seeing the big fish on the hook, Xia Chen’s eyes lit up, and there was a smile on his mouth. Seeing the fish on the hook flying in his direction, he hurriedly took a step back. He was so excited that he forgot that there was a small bench behind him. After a while, the whole body fell backwards.

There was a paddy field on the back, and Xia Chen knew that if he fell, something serious would happen, so his face turned pale with fright.

Mr. Lei was shocked when he saw Xia Chen, but he was far away, and it was impossible to help Xia Chen.

Xia Chen hugged her stomach tightly.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Lei Jun rushed over and hugged Xia Chen.

"Are you okay?" Lei Jun looked at Xia Chen with a pale face and asked with lingering fear.

Xia Chen blinked and didn't react for a while, but after a while, he slowed down, took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

"When did you come?" Xia Chen stood up and asked.

"I was on the ridge when you pulled the fish up just now." Lei Jun still had a bit of a taste for Xia Chen ignoring his appearance for fishing, but now he was scared by Xia Chen's trip just now Gone.

At that moment just now, Lei Jun felt that Xia Chen was so frightened that his heart stopped beating. Fortunately, before he packed his things, he heard from his mother that Xiao Chen and Dad were fishing in the fish pond here, and quickly put the things in the car away. I ran over when I moved into the house, otherwise, I really don't know what will happen.

However, being scared by Xia Chen, before the little guy came out, Lei Jun would definitely not let Xia Chen come to the fish pond again, and it was absolutely impossible to fish.

"By the way, my fish." Hearing Lei Jun mention the fish, Xia Chen immediately remembered that he had just lost his fishing rod in a hurry. of.

At this time, Xiao Chen was still thinking about his fish, Lei Jun's face turned dark all of a sudden.

Xia Chen quickly found the fishing rod that had fallen into the grass and was tangled up hastily. He picked it up and pulled it, but the fish on the hook didn't even run away. He was so lucky.

The fish that Xia Chen pulled up this time was another grass carp, weighing a pound.

Scared by Xia Chen just now, Mr. Lei lost his mood for fishing. If something really happened, not to mention his wife's hard to explain, he was almost scared to death.Besides, these few are enough to eat.

When returning, Mr. Lei walked in front with a small stool and a fishing rod. Behind him, Lei Jun followed with a bucket and another small stool. Xia Chen walked beside him holding a fishing rod.

Lei Jun kept silent, Xia Chen pulled him, but Lei Jun didn't speak.

It was only then that Xia Chen realized that Lei Jun seemed, apparently, to be angry.This was the first time Lei Jun got angry with him, and Xia Chen suddenly became at a loss.

Xia Chen pulled Lei Jun and stood there without moving. Lei Jun couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so he had to stop.

The two of them just walked to the back of the house, and Mr. Lei had already walked to the front, turned around and turned a corner, and there was no one in sight.

"Angry?" Xia Chen held Lei Jun's hand and looked at him carefully.

Lei Jun put down the barrel, sighed helplessly, turned around and nodded to Xia Chen.In fact, what made him even more angry was that he didn't take good care of Xiaochen, and almost caused Xiaochen to have an accident.If he didn't show up in time, what would happen to Xiaochen? Lei Jun dare not even think about such a result.

"Today is my fault. I was too excited at the time. I didn't think there was a stool behind me for a while. Don't be angry. It will definitely not happen again next time. I promise, I will take good care of myself and my stomach. Little things." Seeing no one around, Xia Chen held Lei Jun's hand and assured him.After speaking, Xia Chen kissed Lei Jun directly on the face, expressing his sincerity.

Lei Jun took this opportunity to wrap his arms around Xia Chen's waist, and kissed him hard before letting him go.

Xia Chen's body has been sensitive recently, and his entire waist softened, and he fell into Lei Jun's arms.

The two got bored for a while, Lei Jun finally returned to normal, Xia Chen was secretly relieved.

At the door of the house, Xia Chen discovered that there were actually two cars parked outside the yard, and one of them was very familiar.

"This..." Xia Chen pointed at the car, too shocked to speak.

Knowing what Xia Chen was thinking, Lei Jun raised the corner of his mouth and nodded.

"Chenchen, why are you standing outside and not coming in?" Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind, making Xia Chen's body stiff.

"Uncle Chen." Xia Chen turned around slowly, not daring to look at Uncle Chen's expression at all.

"What are you doing standing outside, come in quickly." Uncle Chen's voice didn't fluctuate at all, and Xia Chen walked into the yard anxiously.

When Uncle Chen turned around and walked into the house, Xia Chen bumped Lei Jun with his hand, glared and said, "Why didn't you tell me that Uncle Chen is coming over?" He was not prepared for such a suddenness.

"Uncle Chen won't let me tell you. Don't worry, I've told Uncle Chen everything about us. Uncle Chen's anger has long since dissipated. Uncle Chen is really worried about you when he comes here this time. He wants to come and see. "Facing Uncle Chen who was only thinking of Xiaochen, Lei Jun couldn't possibly refuse.

"The little thing also said?" Xia Chen asked with wide eyes.

Lei Jun nodded honestly. He didn't want to hide it from Uncle Chen. This time, Xia Chen was going to stay in the village for a long time, so he definitely couldn't hide it.

How can Xia Chen feel relieved, seeing Lei Jun nodding, his heart is even more agitated.

After entering the yard, Xia Chen accompanied Lei Jun to take the fish to the kitchen and put it away before slowly following Lei Jun and entering the main room through the small door on the side of the kitchen.

In the room, Mr. Lei and Jiang Shufen were sitting on one side, and Uncle Chen was sitting opposite them. No one spoke when they came in, and the atmosphere was a little serious. Xia Chen secretly observed the elders, feeling nervous, and didn't know for a while. How to speak.

"Xiaochen, come and drink some water. I just poured it for you. It's still warm. You must be thirsty after being out for so long." Jiang Shufen called Xia Chen to come and drink water.

Xia Chen glanced at Uncle Chen before walking over, took the porcelain cup handed to him by Jiang's mother, "Thank you, Mom."

"You child, you are all a family, why are you always so polite." Jiang Shufen said pretending to complain, but her eyes were full of smiles.This can be regarded as showing the importance and attitude towards Xia Chen in front of Uncle Chen. She is also a parent, so she doesn't understand Uncle Chen's purpose of coming here so rashly.

Xia Chen pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled stiffly, and then secretly glanced at Uncle Chen who didn't change his expression. The worry in his heart became heavier. He had been hiding it from Uncle Chen because he was afraid that Uncle Chen would be worried. Now that Uncle Chen is here, On the contrary, he was a little timid, besides, Lei Jun even told Uncle Chen about the little thing, so he didn't know if Uncle Chen was angry or not.

Uncle Chen's trip came suddenly. Jiang Shufen and Mr. Lei didn't know about it in advance, and they were not mentally prepared, but Jiang Shufen still remembered that the youngest son said that Xia Chen's parents passed away not long ago. Why did a relative come out suddenly? I don't know what identity it is.Just now, Jun'er introduced that Uncle Chen is Xia Chen's relatives, and before he had time to elaborate on Uncle Chen's identity, he turned around and ran to Xia Chen. She also had time to ask clearly, and she had to ask carefully in private later. OK.

Seeing that the tea in Chen Shuci's cup had bottomed out, Jiang Shufen picked up the kettle and wanted to get up and fill it up.

"Mom, I'll come." Lei Jun hurriedly stepped forward, took the kettle from Jiang Shufen's hand, and filled Uncle Chen's porcelain cup with water.

"I don't know if you are used to drinking the tea at home?" Jiang Shufen said to Uncle Chen with a smile.It was the first time for Xiaochen's relatives to come to the house, so she naturally wanted to entertain them attentively.The countryside is not so particular. Everyone usually drinks boiled water that has been boiled and cooled at home when they are busy with farm work, or when they are thirsty. This tea is specially brought back by the eldest son-in-law when he comes back to honor the old man. What kind of fragrant tea is it? , can refresh the mind and help the mind, it can refresh the mind, and it is usually taken out when there is a guest at home.

Xia Chen's parents passed away, and he is Chen Chen's only elder. Uncle Chen smiled to show his attitude, and replied: "My in-laws don't have to be so polite, this tea tastes very good." Mild tea is also good.Most importantly, the attitude of Lei Jun's parents finally reassured him.Chenchen will live here forever, so he doesn't have to worry.

This kid Lei Jun really didn't let him be fooled. With the attitude of Jun's parents, the last worry and worry in Uncle Chen's heart disappeared, and he was relieved to leave Chenchen to him.

Hearing Uncle Chen's in-laws, Jiang Shufen didn't understand anything, and said happily: "Since my in-laws are here, I will stay here for a while, just to be able to accompany Xiaochen, although there is no place in our country. The city is lively, but the food is all eaten by oneself, fresh, just now Xiaochen and my father went to the fish pond to drop a few fish, and my in-laws will try it later."

"That's right." Mr. Lei nodded, echoing his wife's words in a bad manner.Now, for Xia Chen, the son and daughter-in-law, the old man also recognized it in his heart.

"Then I will bother you." Uncle Chen said to the old couple with a smile.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Mr. Lei quickly waved his hands.

"There's no need to bother me. We are also happy that our in-laws can come to our place." Jiang Shufen said sincerely.

Ever since seeing Jiang Shufen's attitude towards Xia Chen, Uncle Chen's smile has never stopped. Hearing this, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

Uncle Chen didn't expect Chenchen to go fishing with Mr. Lei just now, so he asked a few questions curiously.

Now the topic finally opened up. When talking about the fishing just now, Mr. Lei suddenly talked a lot.

Xia Chen and Lei Jun sat on the side, listening to the two chatting about their fishing experience, but they couldn't get in the way at all.Only now did Xia Chen realize that Uncle Chen was also a master at fishing.However, seeing that Uncle Chen was in such a good mood, Xia Chen finally felt less nervous.

It was getting late, Jiang Shufen went directly to the kitchen to prepare lunch, and as soon as Lei Xin came back, she asked her eldest granddaughter to go to the orchard to pass on a message to her eldest son-in-law and eldest son, telling the two of them to stop busy and go home quickly. At that time, I happened to stop by the field to pick some fresh vegetables and come back.

"Did you get the chess record I asked you to bring back?" Xia Chen asked Lei Jun in a low voice.The chess records are all for the old man. The old man has been looking forward to it, but he must not forget it.

Lei Jun nodded and said: "I brought a few books, all of which were given by Uncle Chen. I heard from Xiao Zhang that those few chess books are all in Uncle Chen's collection. I heard that you want them, but Uncle Chen didn't let me go outside to look for them. Just took it out and brought it back to me."

Uncle Chen is good at Go. Xia Chen knows it. Uncle Chen taught Xia Chen Go.

Although the voices of the two were quiet, Mr. Lei was able to sit in between them. He turned his head when he heard the word chess record.

"The chess record is brought back." Mr. Lei asked directly to his youngest son.

Lei Jun nodded.

"Quick, find it out and let me have a look." After getting an affirmative answer, Mr. Lei said impatiently.

"Dad, I'll look at the chess record later. Uncle Chen is good at Go, why don't you play a few games with Uncle Chen." Knowing that his father loves Go, Lei Jun said with a smile.

After hearing this, Mr. Lei turned his gaze to Uncle Chen.

"I haven't played for a long time, so I will play a few games with my brother." Uncle Chen replied with a smile.

Mr. Lei regained his energy. Xia Chen took out the chessboard long ago without his urging. He has been playing Go with the old man during this time. He knows where the chessboard is placed better than anyone else.

The chessboard was ready, and the four of them went outside the yard together and sat down around the stone table.

Xia Chen quickly set up the chessboard and chess pieces.

Seeing the stern expression on Mr. Lei's face, Uncle Chen also became serious.

The two held a son each, and soon entered the state.

Finally, they found a comparable opponent. It was not enough for Mr. Lei and Uncle Chen to play twice in a row in the yard. If Jiang Shufen hadn't yelled to eat, Mr. Lei might still drag Uncle Chen to fight for several rounds.

It's been a long time since I felt like meeting my opponent. Mr. Lei always had a smile on his face when he ate.

After eating, Uncle Chen followed Xia Chen upstairs, and the two finally found a chance to talk.

In order to allow Uncle Chen and Xiaochen to talk alone, Lei Jun did not follow him upstairs.
