But it was clearly not quite like that. The word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until more and more people came out, and it eventually resembled a village committee meeting or a market day. It's not easy to gather so many people all at once under normal circumstances.
After locking the car, Zhou Xuan and his group carried their suitcases and headed home, greeting the elderly and young along the way.
Several young men surrounded Zhou Xuan to help him carry his suitcase. Zhou Xuan asked in surprise, "Sanwazi, why are you all so welcoming when I come back? I'm not some big shot, am I?"
Sanwazi carried the suitcase with apparent ease, seemingly effortless. However, he and everyone else, young and old, were all staring at Wei Xiaoqing. Sanwazi clicked his tongue and asked, "Big brother, this girl is dazzling. Who is she to you?"
Sanwazi was the son of Zhou Xuan's distant cousin, and a cousin of the same lineage. Zhou Xuan was the eldest son in his family, so Sanwazi called him "Big Brother".
Although Sanwazi spoke in his hometown dialect, it was quite close to Mandarin, and Wei Xiaoqing could understand him. She knew that everyone, young and old, was looking at her, and she understood that "dazzling" meant she was beautiful; the compliments from the countryside were often more pleasing to the ear than those from the city.
Wei Xiaoqing immediately giggled, stepped forward, took Zhou Xuan's arm, and said with a smile, "I'm his girlfriend!"
Wei Xiaoqing's action immediately shocked everyone in the village!
Zhou Xuan blushed, feeling somewhat embarrassed. However, she was still grateful for Wei Xiaoqing's kindness.
Wei Xiaoqing whispered in Zhou Xuan's ear, "Zhou Xuan, see? I made you look good, didn't I? You'll have to thank me properly later. Don't worry about me today; if it's really acting, I'll definitely win Best Actress, hehe."
Zhou Xuan could only smile, but Sanwazi, who was carrying the box for him, shouted, "Big brother! No way! No way!"
"What's unacceptable?" Zhou Xuan asked with a smile.
Sanwazi pointed at Wei Xiaoqing and said, "Her? You're no good, you're no good."
Zhou Xuan and Wei Xiaoqing were both taken aback. Zhou Xuan said, "Sanwazi, what do you mean? What's wrong with her?"
Sanwazi looked at Wei Xiaoqing, and Wei Xiaoqing stared back at him with her bright, sparkling eyes.
Sanwazi's face flushed red instantly. He stammered, "No, it's not her, it's...it's you who can't be allowed to ...
It seemed that Sanwazi was too excited to explain himself, so Zhou Xuan smiled and ignored him. Uncle Liu and Jiang Cheng shook their heads and sighed.
Uncle Liu said, "Zhou Xuan, Xuanwa, what you've done is absolutely unacceptable; you'll be struck by lightning!"
Zhou Xuan wouldn't take anything Sanwazi said seriously. But the words of an old and mature man like Uncle Liu were not to be ignored.
Zhou Xuan asked in surprise, "Second Uncle, what do you mean? I've only just arrived home. I haven't been back for years. Is there something you've done that's so serious?"
Uncle Liu glanced at Wei Xiaoqing, shook his head, and sighed.
Wei Xiaoqing's enthusiasm was instantly dampened, as if doused with a bucket of cold water. What was wrong with her now? Wasn't she pretty enough? Wasn't she good enough to make Zhou Xuan look good?
Seeing Uncle Liu's hesitant expression, Sanwazi stammered. Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth. Zhou Xuan was almost annoyed. He said to Sanwazi, "Sanwazi, what is it? Tell me."
Sanwazi still didn't say it, but another person squeezed forward from the crowd, patted Zhou Xuan on the shoulder, and chuckled, "Zhou Xuan. Hehe, you've grown up, I really didn't see that coming. You used to be such an honest person."
Zhou Xuan glanced at him; he was about the same age as her, but dressed impeccably in a suit and tie. He looked somewhat familiar, and after a moment's thought, it dawned on her. She called out, "Junjie, Zhao Junjie, Zhao Lao Er. Lao Er Mao."
Zhao Junjie, also known as Zhao Ermao, was Zhou Xuan's fellow villager and classmate. They used to call him Zhao Lao Er (Old Second) when they were kids, but in junior high, he felt uncomfortable with the nickname "Lao Er" and refused to be called that. However, Zhou Xuan and his group continued to call him that, which caused Zhao Lao Er to get angry a few times. Later, after Zhou Xuan went to work in another city, they lost contact.
Zhao Lao Er laughed heartily. "Finally remembered, huh? Haha. Zhou Lao Da, I have to admire you! These past few days, everyone in the village has been talking about you, saying you're successful and capable, even managing to snag a fairy-like girl who actually came to our house herself. I have to admire you!" But then Zhao Lao Er glanced at the beautiful Wei Xiaoqing, his face contorted with worry, and sighed, "But I never expected this, Zhou Lao Da! You're eyeing what's in the pot while also wanting what's in the bowl! It's outrageous! It's outrageous!"
Having finally figured things out, Wei Xiaoqing's face immediately darkened. She'd made a complete blunder! She'd been trying to make Zhou Xuan look good, but it turned out he already had a woman hidden away at home. What was she doing? She'd offered her warm face only to be met with indifference. Where could she put her face now?
The villagers already envied Zhou Xuan's good fortune. A fairy-like girl liked him.
※Introduction 2; He really came to find the door, but Zhou Fu, who was suddenly returned home, turned out to be a girl as beautiful as a fairy. How could he bear it?
It would be better if Wei Xiaoqing weren't pretty. But she's excessively beautiful!
It's as if all the most beautiful women in the world are blind, and they all have to blame Zhou Xuan!
Zhou Xuan had also thought of this. Suddenly, his face flushed and his heart pounded. Could it be...?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan abruptly pulled his arm away from Wei Xiaoqing's, pushed through the crowd, and rushed out. He strode towards his home, seemingly impatient!
What kind of proud and arrogant person was Wei Xiaoqing? She trembled with anger. It wasn't that she loved Zhou Xuan, but she certainly admired him. However, her initial excitement was completely ruined in that instant by Zhou Xuan's actions. His behavior was tantamount to throwing her face to the ground and stomping on it!
The key point was that in front of so many villagers, Wei Kuangqing immediately turned around and left, but a surge of hatred in her heart made her continue to follow with a cold face. She wanted to see what kind of eight-clawed spider demon this woman was!
All of this was caused by the woman's jealousy and competitiveness. Zhou Xuan rushed ahead and ran all the way to his own brick house. Six years had passed, and the large trees in front of the yard had grown so big that he couldn't even wrap his arms around them. The left half of the brick house had also been demolished and rebuilt into a two-story villa.
It seems my dad and brother have been working hard at home; they didn't even tell him about the house being built.
Zhou Xuan pushed open the door to the main room of the old house, but no one was inside. He stepped back out and hurried to the new building. When he reached the door, he heard muffled voices coming from inside. He stopped, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm himself before gently pushing the door open.
Five people were sitting in the main room of the new house. The father, Zhou Cangsong, was at the very back, followed by his mother, Jin Xiumei, then his younger brother, Zhou Tao, and to his left sat his younger sister, Zhou Ying, who was sitting next to a girl.
Zhou Xuan pushed open the door. The five people in the room all turned their eyes to him. When they saw him, they were stunned for a moment, and then stood up with great joy.
Zhou Xuan's gaze, however, fell on the face of the girl sitting next to his sister.
Her face was a little thinner, but she was still beautiful and elegant, stunningly beautiful. Who else could it be but Fu Ying!
In an instant, Zhou Xuan felt overjoyed, as if his heart was about to explode. He rushed forward and hugged Fu Ying tightly, burying his face in her hair. Tears, which he hadn't shed since the second grade of elementary school, flowed like a river bursting its banks, unstoppable.
Fu Ying gently hugged him. Then she reached out and patted his back softly. After a while, she let go, cupped Zhou Xuan's face, lifted it up, gently wiped away his tears, and then put her finger to her lips to taste it, saying reproachfully, "You ate too much salt, it's a bit salty."
Zhou Xuan couldn't help but laugh. He glanced at his family, who were sitting in the room, and blushed. He quickly wiped away his tears, noticing that although Fu Ying was laughing and joking with him, her eyes were brimming with tears. She was just forcing herself to hold them back!
I have so much to say, but I don't know where to begin.
But the two of them felt that now that they had met, it was enough to overcome a thousand words, and no matter how many difficulties they faced, nothing could separate them again!
After a moment of stunned silence, the Zhou family members finally came to their senses.
Zhou Tao called out, "Brother!"
