It takes two hours to fly from S city to Jiang Mingyuan’s hometown. They set off after lunch. They got off the plane at 4pm. Transferring from the airport, it was already half past five.

This is a small town backed by mountains, the town is dominated by tourism, and the economy is quite developed.

After passing a slab-paved street market, and then a river, they arrived at the place where they lived.

This house is a few years old, with white walls and gray tiles, a small river flowing in front of the door, the river is crystal clear, and sparkling in the sun.

"It's here." Jiang Mingyuan dragged a suitcase in one hand, walked across the bridge to put down the suitcase, stretched out his hand to hold Cheng Huan behind him, bent over to hug the star, and said, pointing to a house not far away.

That house did not look much different from other houses around it. It was a two-storey small building near the river. There was a fence outside, and a few evergreen trees protruded from the fence. It seemed interesting.

Walking outside the courtyard wall and pushing open the carved iron door, you see a lively front yard. Obviously, the yard is often taken care of, and it is still green in winter.

There was a small road in the middle of the yard. Jiang Mingyuan walked in the front, passing through the front yard, found a bunch of keys in the flowerpot outside the door, and stepped forward to open the door.

The house looks quaint from the outside, but the inside is well decorated. The living room has a large space and the furniture is all made of mahogany. You can see that it is expensive.Jiang Mingyuan put his luggage in the living room and took the mother and son upstairs to visit.

Like an apartment, there are not many rooms in this house, only one master bedroom, one second bedroom, one guest bedroom and one study room.The master bedroom was originally the place where Jiang's father and Jiang's mother lived. This year, Jiang's mother didn't come, and the room was empty. Jiang Mingyuan was not ready to move in, so he went straight forward and opened the door of the second bedroom.

Said it is a second bedroom, in fact, the room area is also large. There is a set of tables and chairs made of huanghuali next to the door, separated by a screen, bypassing the screen, and you can see the big and okay bed inside. There are various human figures or auspicious wood carvings on the green silk of the bed, painted with gold lacquer, and it looks like a few years.

Except for Jiang Mingyuan, it was the first time for the other two people to see this kind of bed. Seeing that they were curious, the man explained the origin of the thing.

It is indeed an antique, handed down from the Qing Dynasty.

Cheng Huan was speechless, thinking that she would definitely suffer from insomnia when sleeping on this kind of antique bed. Her heart was okay. Fortunately, this was Jiang Mingyuan's room, so she didn't need to suffer this temptation.

As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard the person next to him say: "The beds in this house are all like this. If you don't like it, I will find someone to change it."

When Jiang’s mother was at home, she didn’t like this kind of beds, saying they were "feudal dregs," and repeatedly asked to change things, otherwise she would not come back.

Jiang Mingyuan used to arrange for someone to change the bed in the master bedroom every year before, and then change the things back after the person left. This time he also prepared the things, as long as Cheng Huan said he didn't like it, he could change it immediately.

Cheng Huan's face changed: "Same as you?"

"almost."

After he finished speaking, he took people to visit the guest bedroom.

The guest bedroom is slightly smaller than the second bedroom, and the configuration is similar, that is, the patterns on the Bishaya are different. The sculptures are allusions such as the blessing of heavenly officials, the parade of champions, and the delivery of children by unicorns. The carvings are meticulous and even champions. The temples of the riding horses can be seen clearly.

Cheng Huan had refused to think about how much this thing was worth, for fear that she would hate the rich. Her sight passed the wood carvings, and she didn't say that she wanted to change it.

The door of the room is not as wide as the bed. If you want to move things out, you must dismantle them. They are all old things. Such a tossing is always bad.

Moreover, although falling asleep will feel stressful, Cheng Huan has to admit that this bed is really beautiful!Beautifully made her reluctant to look away!

She touched the woodcarving with her fingertips, turned her head and said to the person behind her: "No need to change, this thing is pretty good."

Jiang Mingyuan said happily.

He lived here when he was very young. The things in the house are considered to have witnessed his growth. Cheng Huan's ability to like these things makes him feel surprised, as if the distance between the two has narrowed again.

Looking at the room, a few people went downstairs to take their luggage and prepared to hang up their clothes.As soon as I walked down the stairs, I heard someone shouting outside the door.

"I'll go out and have a look."

"Go, this box doesn't weigh too much."

Cheng Huan went upstairs with a suitcase, and after hanging up his clothes, he saw two more people in the house.

It was to middle-aged men and women who seemed to be in their forties. They turned around when they heard the sound of going downstairs. The woman among them smiled at Jiang Mingyuan and asked, "Is this your younger brother and sister?"

Jiang Mingyuan smiled and nodded, and took her hand to Cheng Huan and introduced it to Cheng Huan: "This is the fourth cousin and cousin."

There are many Jiang family members, and the relationship between relatives is also complicated. Jiang Mingyuan told her a few things before coming, including these two.

These four cousins ​​and sister-in-law are the eldest sons of that grandfather’s second son. They are also doing business and doing some foreign trade business, and the scale is not particularly large.

They came back earlier. This time they came here to tell them to eat, saying that Grandpa knew that they were back and wanted to see him.

"How is it?" Jiang Mingyuan took Cheng Huan to sit down in a chair, and whispered to his ear, "If I don't want to go, I will refuse."

"Go." Cheng Huan nodded without thinking about it.I'm here anyway, and I have to see the elders sooner or later, and it's boring to drag.

She agreed to come down, Jiang Mingyuan also relieved, he said to the two of them to wait a moment, and went upstairs to let the stars come down.

The Xingxing was still rolling on the huge bunk bed in the second bedroom, his hair was messy, and his father didn't want to walk properly, he had to jump on the stairs.

Jiang Mingyuan clutched his hand tightly, for fear that the little guy accidentally stepped on the air and walked down the stairs nervously. The man took his son to the cousin and his wife, letting the stars call people.

The stars are not scared, so they can be called, and a sweet smile will be given after the calling.

Although some people said that Jiang Mingyuan came back with a woman and a child, it is probably his wife and child, but neither of them thought that the child would be so old before!

Their eyes turned vaguely a few times between Jiang Mingyuan and Cheng Huan, and with smiles on their faces, they took out the meeting ceremony and stuffed them to the stars.

The cousin with some beer belly touched a bald forehead and smiled and said to Jiang Mingyuan: "Before we were worried that you couldn't find anyone. We didn't expect that in the end, you moved fast and your son is so old."

Jiang Mingyuan held the stars, smiled and glanced at the woman on the other side, then turned around and said to his cousin, "I was also surprised."

"By the way, you haven't had the wedding yet, when are you planning to do it?" Everyone brought it back, explaining that his cousin was confirmed. Jiang Mingzhou didn't care about it when he asked questions. After speaking, he reached out and patted his shoulder: "Marriage is a big event, and the wedding has to be a bit lively."

"Definitely."

"So is the wedding time set?"

"Not yet." Jiang Mingyuan stretched out his hand and held Cheng Huan's hands with his fingers interlocking: "We are still discussing."

With a smile on Cheng Huan's face, he squeezed the man's fingertips secretly and motioned him not to talk nonsense.

The man pulled his fingers out, and the fingertips moved along the palm of the hand and clenched the fingertips so that her fingers could not be messed up.

The cousin on the other side didn't notice the little actions of the two at all. He was still thinking about his cousin's life-long events. He touched his stomach and nodded with nodded head: "We really need to discuss this carefully and choose a good day."

Jiang Mingyuan echoed: "I feel so too."

...

Several people didn't talk for too long. After all, it was too early. Jiang Mingyuan took out the gifts he had already prepared, and took his wife, children, and cousin to the grandfather's side.

Grandpa’s house is much larger than Jiang Mingyuan’s. There are five or six houses in the courtyard.There are many houses, and the population in the family is also large. A total of five children, a dozen grandchildren, and a similar number of great-grandchildren all dragged their families back, and these houses were a bit too small to live in.

They went to see the grandfather first. The grandfather owns a house alone, and it is equipped with nurses and doctors.The three of them came all the way, and people kept saying hello to Jiang Mingyuan. Cheng Huan walked beside him, and he could feel the eyes of those people staring at his back without looking back.

Jiang Mingyuan calmly took Cheng Huan's hand and said in a low voice, "Don't worry about them."

"I know." Cheng Huan shook hands back.

The place where the old man lives is quite quiet. There is a small independent courtyard outside the house. There are several bird cages hung under the eaves, and various parrots are kept inside.As soon as Jiang Mingyuan and the others approached, a large parrot next to the door yelled into the house: "Old man someone is looking for you!"

Cheng Huan and Xingxing were startled by this sudden voice. Xingxing looked around suspiciously, but couldn't find the person who spoke. He leaned on his mother secretly and whispered, "Mom, there are invisible people here. "

After he finished speaking, the bird quacked and laughed again, making the stars cling tighter.

Although Cheng Huan has never raised a parrot, she also knows that some species of parrots can talk when they are raised. She followed the voice and met the green bean eyes of the big parrot. The parrot tilted her head and looked at her and greeted her. :"Hi, pretty."

Cheng Huan: "..."

"This parrot is more lively, don't care about it." The parrot has lived for a long time. The bird was there when Jiang Mingyuan was not born, and it can be considered his elder.He smiled helplessly at Cheng Huan, and pulled the star to tell him that it was not an invisible person, but a parrot speaking, so that he didn't have to be afraid.

For the first time, the Xingxing knew that the parrot could still talk, and his curiosity suddenly grew. He looked up at the parrot under the porch, and thought for a long time and said hello: "Hello."

Parrot: "Who are you?"

Seeing that he could really communicate with himself, Xingxing was even more excited. He trot over to introduce himself to the parrot. After talking a lot, the parrot still asked: "Who are you?"

"Okay, the stars will come to play with him later, now let's go see Grandpa first, OK?"

"Okay." Xingxing nodded after thinking about it, took his father's hand, and waved goodbye to the parrot, so he was reluctant to follow his parents into the house.

The old man was old and it was inconvenient to go up and downstairs. He stayed in his house most of the time. Jiang Mingyuan took his wife and children to the master bedroom to see him. As soon as he knocked on the door, there was a voice letting him in.

"It's Mingyuan, right? Come in, I knew you were here when Dongdong called." The voice was old but not weak, and the person who wanted to speak was in good health. Jiang Mingyuan's expression relaxed a lot, and he opened the door to put things in. On the table, smiled at the old man in front and called grandpa.

After calling, introduce people around him: "This is my girlfriend Cheng Huan, and this is our child Jiang Xingchen, who will be five years old during the Chinese New Year."

After he introduced him, Cheng Huan also yelled grandfather along with him. Xingxing screamed like that for a while, and was slapped by his mother before remembering to change his words: "Good grandpa."
