Putting aside the previous little episode, the captain calmed down, ordered some food and a big fat pig, and set off again.

Today is a good day, and we can’t let our good mood be ruined by those who don’t want to do anything.

Wen Ran was really just in the mood for fun, strolling along the way, with Xiao Chenye following not too far away, but there were still some nosy aunts who teased the two of them with a smile.

"Hey, I've been gone for a while, and Lao Wu has grown up so much."

"Who says he isn't? He was like this when he was little, following people around with a big snotty nose."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd burst into laughter.

Xiao Chenye's handsome face became darker and darker.

He glanced at the aunts and realized that he couldn't win any argument and it would only be embarrassing. So he just walked quickly and dragged Wen Ran to the front of the team.

The captain was standing in front. When he saw the two of them, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Why are you two together?"

This is a question that you already know the answer to.

Anyone who is close to the Xiao family knows what the Xiao family is thinking.

Wen Ran also knew it very well, but...

No one asked her, and she was thick-skinned and straightforward in front of the team leader. She pretended not to hear anything and looked normal.

Xiao Chenye was embarrassed and mumbled, "Our family has a good relationship with the educated youth Xiao Wen. I, I will take good care of him."

"Oh~" The captain took out his pipe and took a puff, seemingly unintentionally saying, "Well, you're about the same age now. Haven't your parents thought of finding you a wife?"

Xiao Chenye: "..."

Really, I regret it now. I should have just stood back and let those ladies make fun of me.

As long as he is shameless, maybe we can get along and say we have similar interests.

Now, facing the captain's soul-searching questioning, Xiao Chenye could only bite the bullet and said, "Hahahaha, no, our family is not in a hurry. My parents are quite democratic."

The captain laughed out loud, "Really?"

He couldn't help laughing and said, "If I remember correctly, a few years ago, Chen Guang didn't date or go on blind dates, and he didn't go home during the holidays.

Your mother was so angry that she staged a hanging scene at the village entrance on New Year's Day."

Xiao Chenye was numb. Damn it! All the secrets of his family were dug out by the captain.

"Uncle, my mother has a bad temper. She's not just aggressive towards her family, but also towards outsiders..."

After saying this, he looked unsatisfied, and the captain's heart skipped a beat, "Uh, not really."

"Then I'll talk to my mother about it later?"

The captain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Forget it, forget it. You young people don't like me nagging, so I won't nag you anymore. Is that okay?"

I'm scared. I really am scared this time.

After changing the subject, the team leader turned to talk about this year's harvest.

The harvest was good, and the grain was stored in the granary smoothly. It can be said that the Silly Roe Deer Brigade suffered no losses this year.

There was a large team nearby, but they were in a terrible situation. They didn't catch up when it rained, and their half-dried food was soaked by the rain, and some of it was even washed away.

The rest, although not washed away, can only be collected and dried in the sun. If not managed properly, they will easily turn black and sprout, and good food will be wasted.

"Oh right," the captain said, grabbing Wen Ran, "after we distribute the food and prepare the pig-killing dishes, it will be the end of the year in no time."

Wen Ran: “?”

She looked at her clothes, which were not too thick, with a confused look on her face.

No, what are you doing?

Even if we are slow, it will take about three or four days to distribute the food and prepare the pig-killing dishes.

It’s freezing and snowy at the end of the year. Can you close your eyes and open them again to find the world covered in snow?

"Is this true?" Wen Ran didn't believe it. "It got cold so soon?"

"Why would I lie to you?" the captain yelled, "Autumn arrives slowly, but winter arrives in a flash."

Fine.

As an outsider, Wen Ran did not comment too much.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"I was just wondering if you would like to go back to your hometown to visit your relatives during the Chinese New Year this year?"

Wen Ran was surprised, "Visiting relatives?"

"Yes," the team leader knew that Wen Ran was young and had come to the countryside in a daze. Later, when he settled down in the brigade, he also had a gap with the educated youth.

I'm afraid the news is not that good.

I guess there are many things in it that I don’t understand.

"There are family leave every year, but not everyone can go back every year. Here, people usually save up two or three years of family leave and then go back."

The home visit leave is ten days, and some of the journeys are long, so I estimate I will have to spend two or three days on the train.

It takes five or six days to go back and forth. I have to work hard and can only stay at home for four or five days, not to mention the expenses along the way. It is not cost-effective to go back every year.

In addition, there are quotas for visiting relatives.

The Silly Roe Deer Brigade estimates that they will be able to get ten this year.

The captain thought about it and decided to leave one for Wen Ran no matter what.

"Is that so?" Wen Ran said bluntly, "My family is all dead."

Captain: “……?”

He looked at Wen Ran in surprise, and asked in disbelief, "What the hell?"

"Well, that's about right?!"

When he went to the countryside, Wen Ran played a very cruel hand. Without money and jobs, you can imagine how those people lived.

She was giving up her good life to go back and sleep on the street with them?

It's so funny, she's not crazy.

Of course, Wen Ran is still quite curious about Li Minmin who went to the countryside in northern Xinjiang. He wonders if she is still alive.

Blinking, Wen Ran added, "However, I still have some relatives in my hometown, but we don't interact that often.

It's Chinese New Year, and families are reuniting, but it's not a big deal for me to be stuck here all alone."

Make up some relatives out of thin air so that if something else happens in the family in the future, there will be someone to take the blame.

Wen Ran praised his own wit and said, "I will celebrate the New Year in the brigade."

She smiled and said, "If I follow the captain, I should get some meat to eat."

The captain felt unhappy and asked, "How about you stay with our family during the New Year?"

He started to mutter, "Ah, although uncle's house doesn't have many good things, but it's enough to make you full and give you a warm meal.

Don’t you like playing with those kids? We have a lot of kids at home.”

Xiao Chenye was originally feeling sorry for Wen Ran, but upon hearing this, he immediately perked up, "No, uncle, what's wrong with you?"

The captain looked at Xiao Chenye and asked, "What does this have to do with you, kid?"

Xiao Chenye, relying on his height and strength, grabbed Wen Ran's shoulders and quickly brought him to stand beside him. He said cautiously, "We agreed that Wen Ran will spend the New Year with us this year."

Wen Ran: “?”

Mo?

Just teleported.

It's fun.

The captain didn't care about that and started arguing with Xiao Chenye, "When did this happen? First come first served, don't you understand?"

"Just two days ago," Xiao Chenye lied with his eyes open, "We all agreed on it."

Looking at Wen Ran who was still curious, Xiao Chenye became anxious and pulled her, "Say something."

Wen Ran: “.”

Very familiar line.
