Jiang Ke was dragging her suitcase towards the village. She passed an old man who was enjoying the cool under a tree. She waved and called out to him, and then he was pulled over to chat affectionately about family matters.

The elderly in the village live long lives, and the group of people surrounding Jiang Ke and asking questions are basically all over 80 years old.

Jiang Ke is popular with the elderly, mainly because he benefited from his grandmother's influence when he was a child. He is thick-skinned and goes from house to house asking for candy.

As he walked around the streets more often and interacted with people more often, all the old people in the village knew him.

The old man was still thinking about him and holding his hand to ask him questions.

The mother-in-law asked, "When did you come back?"

The mother-in-law said: "You haven't cleaned the house yet, come to my place tonight, and I'll ask your brother Chuan to add some chopsticks..."

Another mother-in-law asked, "Oh, you've lost weight. What grade are you in? How are your grades?"

Another mother-in-law took the opportunity to ask, "Are you coming back for the New Year this year? Are your parents coming back for the New Year? Where's Akai? Is he coming back?"

Jiang Ke smiled and answered patiently, "Just got off the train and took the high-speed train back..."

"We're going to eat at my uncle's place tonight. It's already been agreed upon. No need to trouble Brother Chuan..."

"No, Aunt Shan, I've gained a few pounds. I'm working now and I've graduated from university..."

"This year, my parents came back a few days later, and my brother also came back to celebrate the New Year."

The mother-in-law held her hand and said repeatedly: "That's good, that's good..."

The mother-in-law continued, "The whole family is going home to celebrate the New Year together. The New Year in the village is always more lively than in the city. This year, many young people are coming back to celebrate the New Year."

My mother-in-law was smiling next to me, and her dentures came loose, so she quickly covered her mouth, looking a little embarrassed.

Jiang Ke has a high seniority in the village, and these mothers-in-law basically call her aunt, auntie, or even sister.

It is hard to call her sister. Jiang Ke usually calls her sister by her seniority, as she always feels like she is taking advantage of her because of the generation gap.

If it really goes by seniority, Zhu Xiaotong should call Jiang Ke's father "great uncle", but since their families are more or less related by marriage, he can also call him uncle.

In general, these titles are of no importance.

Jiang Ke was sweet-talkerish when she was little, but she would yell a lot, and everyone would just laugh it off and not make a fuss about it.

Jiang Ke hadn't been back to the village for a long time, so the old sisters were all very welcoming. Perhaps it was because they remembered the care given to Jiang Ke by her grandmother, so they looked at Jiang Ke with more loving eyes.

After standing and talking for a long time, Jiang Ke's cousin came out on a motorcycle to pick him up.

Jiang Ke said goodbye to them. The old woman held his hand and reminded him to come to their house sometimes to drink tea and eat candy.

Jiang Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt like she was in her twenties but was still being treated like a child.

Jiang Ke didn't want to let the old man down and could only nod in agreement.

Jiang Ke's cousin was in his thirties. He didn't get off the motorcycle. He just stood there with one foot on the ground, watching the show.

Jiang Ke finally got away and sat in the back seat of her cousin's car. She was even teased, "Ke Baoer is still as charming as she was back then. After many years away, she is still a killer of middle-aged and elderly women."

Jiang Ke was helpless and stretched out his voice, "Brother Huizhou, you are not forcing me to tell you about the time when you broke the school glass and hit the principal when you were in school."

Cousin: …

Originally: Hehehe.

Now: No heehee.

Cousin: "After so many years, how can you still be so childish as to threaten me with this matter?"

Jiang Ke: "Have you confessed to your sister-in-law?"

The person Jiang Ke's cousin hit was the elementary school principal at that time, and now his father-in-law.

Cousin: …

Jiang Ke grinned, reached out and patted her cousin on the shoulder, not threatening but more like a threat: "Brother, see when you can arrange to roast a kiln chicken."
