Chapter 689: The Most Desired Life

When the car turned down Liyuan Village, it was almost lunch time.

House to house at the head of the village, a lot of cooking smoke curled up, and the air was filled with a touch of fireworks.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tao suddenly felt that the "beautiful mountains, beautiful waters, so lonely" over there in Irvine was really weak.

And everything that I had already had when I was a child is the life I most yearn for after entering middle age.

The car was stable at the door of the house, and the big black car rushed out shiny and shiny, trying to bark. The next moment he caught a glimpse of the figure coming out of the car, he changed suddenly, wagging his tail and came up.

The old man who was lying on the wicker chair under the grape arbor suddenly opened his cloudy old eyes, forced himself up with a smile on his face, and said, "Hey, my grandson is back. Huilan, cook more good dishes! "

Zhang Huilan, who was wearing an apron, rushed out of the kitchen with a shovel in hand. She couldn't help the strong choking smell, coughed violently and said, "Dad, what did you say?"

What answered her was Wu Tao's call, "Mom, I'm back."

"Hey, my son is back, what a happy event! Alright, I'll go add vegetables and kill the old hen in the pen..."

Wu Tao glanced apologetically at the few chickens strolling in the chicken coop, and prayed silently in his heart, 'I'm sorry. '

There is no one else in the house except the old man and his wife.

Wu Tao glanced left and right, then looked at his watch and said, "Mom, shouldn't it be time for Hei Dan and Xiao Jiang to come back?"

"What time is it?" Zhang Huilan was busy catching chickens.

"At half past eleven."

While chasing the hen, Zhang Huilan scolded, "These two little bastards must have gone to the store to win prizes again, and they don't even remember to go home. You go and sneak them back for me. "

"That's it." Just as Wu Tao agreed, he saw Xiao Jiang and Heidan came back in disgrace with their schoolbags on their shoulders.

Zhang Huilan immediately crossed her waist, pointed at the two children and said, "Come over here and tell me the truth, where have you gone crazy today?"

As soon as Xiaojiang and Heidan saw Wu Tao, the smiles on their faces had not yet bloomed, they were frightened by Zhang Huilan's shout, and they moved to the side of the chicken coop step by step to prepare for training.

Fortunately, at this moment, the old man made a rare excuse and said, "Hui Lan, when Xiaotao comes back today, don't scold those two brats, just let them go this time."

Zhang Huilan gave the two children a gouging look, then fell silent, and continued to chase and intercept the roundest reed chicken.

Xiaojiang and Heidan put down their schoolbags as if they were about to receive an amnesty, and surrounded Wu Tao excitedly: "Brother, Brother Tao, what gift did you bring us?"

Wu Tao's heart skipped a beat, and he really didn't bring gifts for the two children. But looking at the eager eyes of the two children, he couldn't bear to say no, so he lied: "I bought it, but I didn't bring it back. I'll bring it back to you after your final exam. So, it's up to you Show off."

Heidan straightened his chest, "Brother Tao, just wait and see, I will definitely not let you down."

Xiao Jiang was also not to be outdone, "Brother, just polish your tricks and watch, I guarantee you won't be disappointed."

"What do you mean by my double tricks?" Wu Tao turned his face in a second, and the kid could even speak slang, "Stop for me, who did you learn from?"

The two brothers chased around the vineyard for a while, but Wu Tao didn't catch up with Xiao Jiang.

Although this guy looks fat, he runs like a loach, not slippery, not good at all.

So Wu Tao decided that he could only outsmart him, but not outwit him.

Turning around, Wu Tao glanced at his yard. When he came back this time, in order to prevent the coming rainstorm, he planned to repair the old house for a while, so as not to leak rain from time to time, and did not have a chance to repair it.

As a result, I found out that from the main room to the east room, including the side room, all new tiles have been replaced.

Is this repaired?

So Wu Tao went to the well to ask, and Zhang Huilan said while handling the reed chicken, "This year's business at home is not as good as in previous years, and I heard you said that summer will be rainy, so I have time, so I have someone repair the house. To you Take a look in the house, everything has been painted, and see if you are satisfied."

Wu Tao went back to his room to have a look, as expected.

The surrounding area has been freshly painted, and even a simple ceiling has been hung on the ceiling, so that the room is much brighter than before.

However, the posters of the Little Tigers and Wang Zuxian that were originally posted on the wall were carefully pasted back to their original positions.

My wife is really caring.

A lunch is extraordinarily hearty.

For a reed chicken, Wu Tao got two chicken legs alone. Xiao Jiang was so anxious that he was about to cry, until Wu Tao put the drumsticks in his bowl, and then he smiled.

As for the other one, Wu Tao put it in Heidan's bowl.

Heidan was no better than Xiao Jiang, and he knew how to be polite, but Wu Tao gave him a stare, and obediently buried his head in his mouth and began to gnaw.

Wu Tao ate the rice made from his homemade japonica rice, served with seasonal vegetables in the garden, and said deliciously: "Grandpa, Mom, I came back this time to take care of the family. This summer is rainier than usual, so please pay attention at home, and the two of you Children are not allowed to go wild, especially where there is water, do you hear me?"

Xiao Jiang let out a very coping voice.

On the other hand, Heidan nodded solemnly: "Understood, Brother Tao."

Now that Heidan agreed, Wu Tao is not afraid of anything wrong with Xiaojiang.

On the contrary, Zhang Huilan still had some doubts and said, "Tao, when it comes to summer, how often do we not have a few heavy rains here? Will it really be that serious this year?"

Wu Tao nodded, "Anyway, this year's crops must be reduced, and there may be more water in the lakes and rivers than in previous years. It is best to take care of the children in the village, so that there is no time to cry after something happens."

Zhang Huilan thought about it and said, "If you want to say that, I really have to talk to them about it."

After finishing talking, Wu Tao turned to the old man and said, "Grandpa, if you usually feel bored and panic, you can go back to the house and turn on the air conditioner, and then come out regularly to take a breath. Don't be afraid of the electricity bill, our house is not short of that money. "

Winter and summer are the most difficult seasons for the elderly.

The days are getting better and better, and the old man is a treasure of the family, so he needs to be taken care of properly.

After dinner, Wu Tao brought some gifts and went out for a walk.

The first one to visit was Uncle Dai's house. The old man was alone, and when he saw Wu Tao coming, his eyes were red.

Wu Tao came here, first to care about aquaculture, and second, to see if the old man's house needs to be renovated.

Looking at it this way, as expected, the southeast corner and the edge of the wall are full of leaking water marks.

The old man kept saying that it was okay, but Wu Tao wrote it down honestly.

Anyway, this is what we have to do, and it can be regarded as a reminder to other families in the village.

Coming out of Uncle Dai's house, Heitan suddenly said, "Brother Tao, the roof of my house is also leaking..."

In the end, I opened it with the spare key that Aunt Hua left at home, didn't I?

For the past few years, Aunt Hua has been busy outside, and the old house has long been in disrepair. In addition, the couple bought a new house in the city, so they were even less concerned about this old house.

That being the case, repairing one family is repairing, and repairing two families is also repairing, so we simply do it together, saving worry and effort.

Then Wu Tao visited the third uncle's house, grandma's house, and uncle's house. These houses have new houses, so naturally there will be no troubles like rain leakage.
