The New Year was getting closer and closer, and the festive atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger. After buying a batch of New Year goods for the village, Liu Xiu gave Tao Jian a holiday. Of course, he did not forget to give Tao Jian a big red packet. This made Tao Jian extremely happy. Just this red packet alone was not something he could get after working hard in Qinling for a year, let alone his monthly salary of 2,000 yuan. Moreover, Liu Xiu said that he would give him a raise when the New Year came. Looking back at the time he worked in Shiqiao Village, he did not seem to have done anything. Furthermore, it was a remote office.
Early in the morning, Liu Xiu arrived at Qinling. His parents were coming today, so he came to pick them up. When he saw his parents at the train station, Liu Xiu smiled and walked up to them. He asked with concern,"Are you tired?"
"What are you tired of? It's only a six-hour train ride.”His mother smiled kindly.
"Not bad," his father said."Your body has become stronger. I heard that you're doing well there."”
"It's alright. You'll see it soon. If you're satisfied, we'll live in Shiqiao Village in the future. It saves me the trouble of bringing you things every three to five days.”Liu Xiu naturally wouldn't forget about his parents when he had good things. He would ask the bus to bring some nectar, vegetables, and fruits back. Therefore, his parents 'health had improved a lot in the past six months.
Liu Xiu's family was considered pretty good in his hometown. They weren't considered wealthy, but they were considered to be quite wealthy. His father, Liu Yi, had been transferred from the army and joined the armed forces. He was considered an official. His mother, Wu Juan, was a great teacher and taught junior high school in the county.
"You're rich now? You don't even want to build a road?”The car came to a bumpy stop. Hearing that they still had to walk for a while, Liu Yi was puzzled.
"I didn't manage to take care of it this year, but it'll be fine next year. It's too good outside, and it's easy to attract people's attention.”Liu Xiu laughed.
As soon as they entered the village, Liu Yi and Wu Juan felt the difference. The mountain village in winter was still green. Although everyone here was dressed normally, they looked very energetic. They were not inferior to those who lived a comfortable life. Moreover, these people had a simple and honest aura that the city people did not have.
"His uncle, his aunt, you're here. Quick, give me the things.”Wu Juan couldn't win, so she could only pass the light thing in her hand to this girl she didn't know. Hearing the praise for her son, that honor, this was even happier than hearing praise.
"Not bad!" After the enthusiastic neighbors dispersed, Liu Yi praised with a smile.
"There are no rules here. As long as you treat everyone well, everyone will treat you well. How about it? Do you feel better now? Are you interested in coming here to seek refuge with your son?”Liu Xiu asked with a smile.
"What are we doing here? It's not the time to retire yet.”Liu Yi asked.
"Dad, you really have nothing to do now that you're here. My mom is very useful. I plan to let the children in the village start going to school next autumn. Mom, you can teach.”Liu Xiu had a plan. It was necessary for his parents to come here. Whether it was the environment or the food and drink, they could ensure their parents 'health.
"You brat, you've grown up. Now you dare to look down on your father?”Liu Yi laughed and scolded.
"No, absolutely not. Dad, why don't you teach sports?”Liu Xiu was not able to make arrangements for his father.
"Can't you be the principal?" Liu Yi asked.
"Well, my mom is more suitable to be the principal. Dad, your temper is too big.”Liu Xiu joked. He had been beaten up a lot when he was young.
Liu Yi glared at Liu Xiu. Under the joint suppression of his wife and son, he could only be a physical education teacher. Seeing that his parents were not interested, Liu Xiu had no choice but to use his trump card and said,"You know that I send you some water and vegetables every once in a while, right?”
"Yes! What's wrong?" Wu Juan asked in confusion.
"Then did you notice the difference between the water and the vegetables?”Liu Xiu asked.
"The water tastes better, and the vegetables taste better. What's the big deal?”Liu Yi said casually.
Liu Xiu felt like he was about to faint. He asked directly,""Didn't you notice that your bodies have improved a lot after eating the things I sent back?”
"Get lost. Do you think that's an immortal pill?”Liu Yi cursed angrily. However, his words were not wrong. His body was indeed not bad. He had not gotten sick for a year. This was the result of his constant training.
"I think so. My shoulder usually hurts when the weather changes, but now it doesn't seem to hurt that much.”Wu Juan was stunned for a moment and looked at her son in confusion.
"That's right. If you stay here for a long time, I guarantee that you won't get sick and will live a long life.”Liu Xiu said.
"What do you mean?" Liu Yi asked in confusion.
"There is a lake on the mountain and spring water at the bottom of the lake. After my research, I found that this is an extremely good thing for the human body. The vegetables and fruits grown with this thing are also extremely beneficial to the human body.”Liu Xiu had already thought of an excuse. It was not impossible to tell his parents about the Five-Color Domain, but other than being excited, it would probably only make them more worried, so he still planned to hide it from them.
Liu Xiu felt helpless when he saw his parents smiling and disapproving. He had to take his time to deal with this matter. He had left most of his life to his hometown. If he were to ask them to leave now, Liu Xiu would not be willing either.
As the New Year approached, the people who went out returned one after another. Stone Bridge Village became lively. No matter who returned, the first thing they would do was to visit the village chief. They could feel the changes in Stone Bridge Village. Some of the people who had not returned before decided not to go out after the New Year. There was work to be done in the village and they could earn money. Why would they go out to work?
The New Year arrived quietly. The entire Shenghe Village was in a festive mood. Every household hung up lanterns and decorated themselves with colorful lanterns. When night fell, the entire village was illuminated by the bright red. At midnight, a group of young men gathered together to drink. Liu Xiu, the village chief of the same age, was also present. Under Li Dahai's promotion, everyone admired Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu drank too much again.
This year, he was extremely happy and comfortable. There was endless good food every day. When he chatted with Huang Dong 'er at night, he would always be envious of him. Huang Dong' er hated him. If she wasn't in the capital, she would definitely go to Shiqiao Village and rob him of everything. Now, she could only threaten and bribe Liu Xiu to leave some for her to eat when she came.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Chang Weiguang, You Liang, and Ren Haitao came together to pay their New Year's greetings to Liu Xiu. The few of them gathered together, and it was inevitably lively. Yu Min complained that she came too late. If she had known that Liu Xiu's life here was like an immortal, she would have come earlier to stay for a few days.
You Liang and Ren Haitao had also officially put their work on hold before the new year. After the new year, they would be under Liu Xiu's command and would walk on the broad road together towards glory. These words were said by Yu Min. The two of them only looked forward to the beautiful future. Only Liu Xiu knew in his heart that as long as the new arrival did not cause any trouble, the future would definitely be better than what Yu Min had described.
At night, Liu Xiu and the others had just set up their formation when an unexpected person appeared. Huang Dong 'er suddenly ran over and looked at her. Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment before he reacted and asked,"Didn't you say you'd be back after the 15th?”
"Nonsense. You tempt me with a bunch of delicious food every day. How can I stay here? Besides, Beijing is too boring.”Huang Dong 'er rolled her eyes at Liu Xiu and smiled at Chang Weiguang and the others.""Happy New Year, everyone!"
"This is the beauty I told you about, Huang Dong 'er.”Without needing Liu Xiu to introduce her, Yu Min started to introduce her. Huang Dong 'er was a cheerful and lively person, so she became familiar with You Liang and the others after a few words. She began to show her true colors as a foodie.
Huang Dong 'er was eating a chicken leg in her left hand and a rabbit head in her right. Liu Xiu's parents suddenly appeared. When Liu Xiu introduced them, Huang Dong' er was dumbfounded. This time, she had lost a lot of face. When she came back to her senses, she hurriedly greeted them. The two elders smiled and handed them a red packet. These days, they had been carrying these things. In Liu Xiu's words, they might even have a junior. It was the New Year. It was a happy and joyous occasion.
The two elders looked at Huang Dong 'er, and the more they looked at her, the more they liked her. This was because Yu Min had secretly told them that Liu Xiu had a very beautiful girlfriend. This was obvious. The two elders only had one thought in their hearts: " This girl looks like a real person. She eats so well." If Huang Dong' er knew what the two elders were thinking, she would definitely dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.
"Why didn't you say that Uncle and Auntie are here?”As soon as the two elders left, Huang Dong 'er began to question Liu Xiu.
"I told you long ago that my parents are here!”Liu Xiu smiled helplessly.
"It's all because of you. I was so focused on eating that I forgot about this. I didn't even bring a gift.”Huang Dong 'er was filled with hatred as she glared at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu felt wronged. What did this have to do with him?
"Dong 'er, why don't you just send yourself out? I see that Uncle and Auntie are looking at you strangely!”Yu Min teased.
"Human trafficking is illegal. I haven't even looked for you yet. Why didn't you inform me that you were getting married?”Huang Dong 'er nimbly changed the topic. Yu Min gave Liu Xiu a look that said," I've tried my best."
"I told Xiu-Er to inform you. You can't blame me for this.”Women were all experts at framing others. Yu Min easily changed his target.
"You were out of town at that time." Liu Xiu explained with a smile.
"Oh!" Huang Dong 'er replied and focused on the food in front of her. She was here to eat, so she would talk after she was full.
The next day, Huang Xuefei's arrival made Liu Xiu's house even livelier. Huang Dong 'er dragged Yu Min up the mountain to play. The group of men started drinking again in the afternoon. Huang Xuefei quickly got along with Chang Weiguang and the others. After a few glasses of wine, they started calling each other brothers.
From Huang Xuefei's words, Liu Xiu learned that they had returned home with a family of three. Mo Lan had to stay in the capital temporarily because of some matters and could not turn back. She asked Huang Xuefei to send her regards to Liu Xiu's parents. As for the siblings, since it was just the new year, Huang Mingtang had a lot of social events to attend to. The two of them had nothing to do, so they came to Liu Xiu's place for a vacation. This made Liu Xiu understand why Huang Dong 'er had suddenly come. It turned out that the nanny was on vacation and had to prepare her own food at home.
Chang Weiguang, You Liang, and Ren Haitao left. Chang Weiguang had to go to work, while You Liang and Ren Haitao also started working. In their words, they were brothers who took care of them. They couldn't embarrass their brothers and had to work hard to earn money to marry a wife. Yu Min stayed because she heard from Huang Dong 'er that Star Lake was especially beautiful on a full moon night. She planned to stay and take a look. Since she had nothing to do when she went back, she would just treat it as accompanying Huang Dong' er.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the lake. Leaving Huang Dong 'er and the dogs behind, Liu Xiu and Huang Xuefei walked along the lake. This was not the first time they had seen such a beautiful scene. However, every time they saw such a wonderful scene, they would be excited and happy. Then, it would be peaceful. The flickering silver light seemed to be able to intoxicate people.
Looking at the sparkling silver Star Lake, Yu Min held a ball of water and gently waved the silver light spots that filled the sky. He asked casually,""In this situation, if someone confessed to you, would you agree?”
"What about you?" Huang Dong 'er asked.
"I'm married. I won't have another chance. Don't run away from the problem.”Yu Min laughed.
