Chapter 119: Gently cousin

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhou Hao and Yan Tong went to Huayu Village to pay a New Year greeting to Zhou Hao's grandmother. According to the habit of previous years, Zhou Hao's mother and son would stay at grandma's house for one night, taking the third day of the New Year together before returning.
Compared with Zhou Lichang's family, Zhou Hao's impression of his grandmother and the others is much better, and the gifts he prepared are much more considerate. There are supplements for grandma and grandpa, brand-new clothes for uncle, cosmetics for aunt, and even two sets of sound systems. As for the gift to his cousin Yan Qingtian, Zhou Hao deliberately chose a red concentric knot. Because he remembered that when he was a child, Yan Qing had watched a certain love drama. After seeing the hero in it gave the heroine a beautiful concentric knot, he dreamed that he could also have a concentric knot.
Huayu Village is far away from the city and is in a remote location. Even the cement road cannot reach the village. There is only a muddy dirt road more than ten miles outside the village. Fortunately, the performance of Zhou Hao and their "Audi" is still very good, and there is no problem in coping with such a dirt road.
When they came to the entrance of Huayu Village, the villagers were attracted by this Audi. Although there was a lot of dirt on the way, it still did not affect the envy and surprise of the villagers, because the richest in the village Everyone uses only the old style "Santana".
Yan Tong drove the car straight to the door of Yan's family. There were three bungalows in Yan's family. Zhou Hao's two uncles, Yan Mudong, Yan Munan, one each, and the rest belonged to his grandparents. The three bungalows are in the same courtyard, so the Yan family is very close.
The Yan family knew that Yan Tong and the others were coming back, so they waited at the door. But seeing such a majestic car parked in front of my house, I felt very surprised and puzzled. When they saw Yan Tong and Zhou Hao getting off the car, they were immediately stunned.
"Sanmei, why do you have a car...?" Yan Mudong asked Yan Tong in shock.
Yan Tong just smiled and said to them, "Come on, help move things in, I bought gifts for everyone."
Everyone didn’t care about asking Yan Tong. They moved a cart full of things into the house, while the grandmother pulled Yan Tong and said,
Sister, it’s fine for you to come and see us. How can we buy so many things? How can it be used up."
Zhou Hao knew that his grandfather, grandmother and two uncles loved Yan Tong very much, and they also loved Zhou Hao very much. When Zhou Hao was a child, his favorite was to spend summer vacation with his grandmother.
Yan Tong said to his mother: "Mom, didn't I call you before and said that I opened a fast food restaurant? Now that the restaurant has already made money, this car is also bought with the money earned."
Hearing Yan Tong said that the store was making money, my grandmother was also very happy. When Yan Tong called them earlier, they were afraid that Yan Tong would not have enough money. Yan Mudong and Yan Munan were planning to raise money to lend to Yan Tong to open the store. The shop not only made money, but also bought such a good car.
At this time, both grandpa and grandma saw Zhou Hao, rubbing her eyes and exclaimed: "Here, is this Xiaohao? How come it has grown so tall after only a year? It's much better than before."
"Grandma and grandpa, it's Xiaohao." Zhou Hao hugged grandma and grandpa affectionately, "Xiaohao wants to kill you."
Since Zhou Hao hadn't been to Huayu Village for a whole year, they didn't tell them about Qiu Ning Mountain before to prevent them from worrying, so now they regard Zhou Hao's changes as the normal development of children.
"Oh, it's two heads taller than Grandpa, Grandpa won't be able to hold you anymore." Grandpa stretched out his hand and touched Zhou Hao, with a kind smile on his face.
"Xiao Hao has grown up, so I don't need Grandpa to hug him." Zhou Hao smiled.
When the group entered the room, Zhou Hao also saw Yan Qingqing.
I saw Yan Qing with bright eyes and white teeth. He was very slim and very beautiful, and also had a simple aura more than the women like Situ Jianying and Yang Jiabao. Today, Yan Qing is still a pretty girl in the age of cardamom, just like the haggard-looking peasant woman Zhou Hao had seen in his life.
"Little...you, are you Xiaohao?" Yan Qingjing saw Zhou Hao who was tall and handsome, and couldn't believe his eyes. Because a year ago, he was still the kid who was not much taller than himself.
"Cousin gently." Zhou Hao smiled happily. Looking at Yan Qing's pretty face that has not been eroded by the years, Zhou Hao made up his mind that she would never let her repeat the mistakes of her previous life.
Yan gently took a few steps forward to hold Zhou Hao's hand, and couldn't hide his excitement: "Xiao Hao, it's really you? You, you have grown so much taller, I almost can't recognize you."
"Cousin, you have grown a lot taller." Zhou Hao touched the top of Mo Yan's head gently, remembering that she was only 1.5 meters tall a year ago, but now she has grown to more than 1.6 meters. Zhou Hao's chest.
The second uncle Yan Munan smiled to Zhou Hao: "Your cousin often talks about you, saying that you will come to play at home this summer vacation."
"I don't have to come, you can come to see us in the city even with a little cousin." Zhou Hao smiled. His hand was still being held by Yan Qing, only that Yan Qing's jade hand was soft and warm, and the texture was very comfortable to the touch. Although Yan Qingqing has also been doing housework or farming since she was a child, her hands are not as thick as other people's calluses, but can remain smooth and soft.
"Xiaohao is going to take the high school entrance examination this year." Uncle Yan Mudong said with a smile.
Zhou Hao said, "Yes, I'm going to high school this year, and my cousin."
"She stopped studying after graduating from junior high school. We originally wanted her to find someone to marry as soon as possible. Who knows now..." Before the second aunt Lu Guifang finished speaking, Yan Munan pulled her sleeves and stopped. What she said.
And grandmother and grandfather and their faces were also suddenly covered with a layer of haze. Zhou Hao was secretly puzzled. Just about to ask, Yan Qing took his hand and said, "Let’s not stop them from chatting, let’s go outside. Let's go." After talking, he pulled Zhou Hao out.
Huayu Village still maintains a natural style to a large extent, with mountains on three sides, and the villagers plant some fruit trees on the mountains. When Zhou Hao was a child, he often went to the mountains with Yan Qingqing, and secretly picked fruit from other people's trees to eat. Most of the lychees and longans grown in Huayu Village are lychees and longans. Zhou Hao remembers that the lychees and longans on the mountain are not only large, but also juicy and sweet. They are much better than those bought in the fruit shops in the city. Many villagers in the village raise fish, so there are many fish ponds in the village, and many villagers keep chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry.
Walking in the village, Zhou Hao looked at the surrounding scenery and found that Huayu Village was similar to what he had in his previous life. Because it is far away from the city and the traffic is not convenient, it has not been able to develop. The living standards of the villagers are still relatively good. low. Just say that the two uncles' homes still use black and white TV sets.
Next to Yan Qingqing, her head was kept down, not knowing what she was thinking. She raised her head and said to Zhou Hao: "Remember that we used to go up the mountain to play? Let's go up and walk around."
"Okay." Zhou Hao nodded, and gently followed Yan to the east mountain.
The two of them were walking on the mountain, and Yan gently smiled and said, "Unfortunately, it is still spring. If you come in summer, you will be able to eat lychees and longan."
"I remember when I was young, I used to steal other people's lychees and longan to eat." Zhou Hao recalled with a smile.
"You dare to say, remember that once when you stole someone else's lychees, you almost got bitten by that big yellow dog." Yan said gently.
Zhou Hao scratched his head, "Fortunately, your cousin was there and scared the yellow dog away with a stone."
At that time, Zhou Hao went to steal lychees but was discovered by someone else's big yellow dog. He was chased by the big yellow dog all the way from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside. In the end, Yan Qing didn't throw the big yellow dog with a stone and scared him away. At that time, Zhou Hao hid behind Yan Qingqing, admiring Yan Qingqing horribly.
"Xiaohao, will you come this summer during your summer vacation?" Yan Qing asked.
"Maybe not." Zhou Hao was a little embarrassed, because he should have been in Hong Kong at that time.
A look of disappointment appeared on Yan Qing's face, but she still smiled: "It's okay, anyway... Anyway, if you are here, my cousin can't play with you anymore." She picked off a longan branch next to her, she was bored. Pluck the leaves above.
"Cousin Qingqing, why?" Zhou Hao caught the helplessness and sadness flashing in Yan Qing's eyes.
But seeing Yan lightly smiled and shook his head, "No, but we are not kids anymore, and we can't just play with carefree as before." There seemed to be a trace in her voice. Open sigh.
"Cracking!" There were bursts of firecrackers from the village down the mountain, but the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival did not match the melancholy cloud on Yan Qing's face.
"Cousin Qing, are you having any trouble?" Zhou Hao asked sternly.
Subconsciously, he thought of a possibility. I felt that this matter might have something to do with Wei Kuanji, and the second aunt Lu Guifang also mentioned "marrying someone" just now. In his previous life, he had always been very strange, how could a gentle and beautiful girl like Yan Qing marry a rude and rude man like Wei Kuanji.
Moreover, the second uncle is not the kind of person who would sell his daughter's happiness for money, so how could he let Yan Qingqing marry such a person?
Thinking of this, Zhou Hao grabbed Yan Qing's jade arm, looked into her eyes and asked: "Cousin Qing, tell me, is someone forcing you to marry, or is someone bullying our family?"
Yan Qing's face changed a little. Seeing Zhou Hao's deep eyes, her lips opened slightly, she wanted to tell him what was in her heart. But when the words came to the lips, they couldn't speak. She turned her face away from Zhou Hao's gaze, and forced a smile: "What are you talking about, Xiaohao, where is someone forcing me to marry?"
