Chapter 2151 Return to Hometown

Qin Feng walked in the heavy snow for half an hour before he finally got back to Zhou Qian's house.

When he returned to the door and knocked, Qin Feng's face was already red from the cold and his hair was wet.

As soon as Qin Feng knocked on the door, it opened. The person who opened the door was not the nanny, but Zhou Qian.

Qin Feng opened the door and looked at Zhou Qian. Zhou Qian also looked at Qin Feng. Neither of them spoke for a long time.

Suddenly, Qin Feng hugged Zhou Qian in his arms and held her tightly.

Zhou Qian also hugged Qin Feng, tears in her eyes.

The two of them didn't say a word from beginning to end, but they each knew what the other wanted to say.

Zhou Qian naturally knew that Qin Feng went out to see Zhang Yingying, but she didn't say it.

Qin Feng was not stupid either. He guessed that Zhou Qian knew that he went out to see Zhang Yingying.

After a long, long time, Qin Feng said to Zhou Qian in his arms: "I'm sorry!"

"Your hair is wet, go wipe it, wash your face and warm yourself up." Zhou Qian did not respond to Qin Feng's words, but said gently.

"Okay." Qin Feng nodded, let go of Zhou Qian, and walked into the house.

The next morning, Zhou Qian's travel convoy arrived at the door. Qin Feng and his family of three got in the car and set off for Qin Feng's hometown, Nanlin City.

When the convoy arrived at Qin Feng's hometown village, Qin Feng suddenly discovered that some of the dilapidated cement roads in the village had been replaced with flat asphalt roads, and the entire road had been widened by at least half.

When the convoy arrived at the foot of the hill where Qin Feng's parents were buried, Qin Feng was even more surprised to find that there was an asphalt road leading up the mountain.

"How come there is this road leading up the mountain? There is nothing on this mountain except my parents' graves. Why did the village build this road?" Qin Feng's mind was full of questions.

When the convoy drove up the mountain, Qin Feng discovered that his parents' graves were full of people, including village cadres, Qin Feng's uncle, aunt, cousin, etc., as well as many people Qin Feng did not know.

What surprised Qin Feng even more was that the tombs of Qin Feng's parents had been completely renovated. The two tombs were surrounded by a wall more than one person high. There were steps in front of the tombs, stone lions, and tall pine and cypress trees.

The convoy stopped in front of the tomb, but Qin Feng did not get out of the car. He was thinking rapidly about what was going on.

Suddenly, Qin Feng turned around and looked at Zhou Qian: "You did this, didn't you?"

"No, my parents' tomb was repaired by your uncle." Zhou Qian shook her head.

"Are you kidding? He'll repair my parents' grave? It's good enough that he doesn't dig it up."

"Qin Feng, you shouldn't always look at people with old eyes, and you can't always remember past hatreds. As time goes by, people's horizons will improve. What's more... no matter what, apart from Niu Niu, your uncle's family is your only blood relatives in this world. So many years have passed, and it's time to let go of some things." Zhou Qian persuaded Qin Feng.

Qin Feng did not answer, but asked Zhou Qian: "What's going on with this cemetery?"

"After I came here to pay respect to my parents last time, I felt that I had to repair it. If I had to, I had to do it better. But considering your identity, this matter cannot be repaired in your name, and it would not be appropriate to repair it in my name, so... I will go to find your uncle in person. Of course, I will go to him as your wife."

"My uncle is not as heartless as you said. When he heard that I was your wife, he was very enthusiastic and willing to repair my parents' tomb in his name. He refused to ask for any benefits and personally participated in the construction without even asking for any wages." Zhou Qian said.

"Is it true?" Qin Feng had serious doubts about Zhou Qian's words.

"Of course, in return, and also for your reputation in the village, I paid some money to help the village repair the road into the village and install street lights. I also helped renovate the village primary school and built a football field and a small library for the children. These were all donated in the name of your wife. You won't have any objections, right?" Zhou Qian said with a smile.

"I know you are very opposed to this, but no matter what, this is your hometown, you grew up here, your parents are buried here, and your roots are here. Qin Feng, we are not young anymore, and it's time to let go of the obsession in our hearts." Zhou Qian persuaded Qin Feng again.

Qin Feng still looked at the person outside the window without saying a word.

"Get off the car, they have been waiting for a long time. The villagers didn't know you were the deputy mayor before. They found out after I helped build the road, so... this is the scene today. They have been waiting for you here in advance." Zhou Qian said again.

Qin Feng nodded and got out of the car.

After getting off the car, Qin Feng shook hands with the township leaders and village cadres who had come specially one by one. When he finally came in front of Qin Feng's uncle and aunt, Qin Feng hesitated for a moment, but finally stretched out his hand and called them uncle.

Zhou Qian was right. No matter how he treated Qin Feng before, that was all in the past. After all, he was still Qin Feng's elder and one of the few relatives Qin Feng had in this world.

Of course, Qin Feng didn't believe what Zhou Qian said that his uncle would repair the cemetery for his parents free of charge. Zhou Qian said this just because she hoped that Qin Feng could change his attitude towards his uncle, but this was not important.

Next, Qin Feng took Zhou Qian and his daughter to burn paper for his parents, and a fortune teller from the nearby village also came over to perform a ritual.

Qin Feng hated this, and as a leading cadre he could not engage in feudal superstitions, but when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so he could only endure it.

After the worship, at the invitation of township leaders and village cadres, Qin Feng visited the village primary school, football field and library donated by Zhou Qian.

Although it was donated in the name of Zhou Qian, everyone believed that it was actually funded by Qin Feng. It was only because Qin Feng's status as a cadre made it inconvenient for him to do this that he used Zhou Qian's name. The villagers were very grateful to Qin Feng.

After the viewing, the village cadres took Qin Feng to his old house.

When he saw the old house, Qin Feng was completely dumbfounded.

The old house that was already in a dilapidated state has now been completely renovated and turned into an antique farmhouse. It has not only been completely renovated, but also completely renovated according to the layout of the original house. Although it is a reconstruction, it has achieved the renovation effect of the old house.

Qin Feng looked at Zhou Qian beside him with excitement and touching. If there weren't so many people around, Qin Feng would definitely hug Zhou Qian tightly in his arms.

At noon that day, three tables were set up in Qin Feng's old house. The money was paid by Zhou Qian, and Qin Feng's aunt helped to prepare and cook the dishes. It was equivalent to Qin Feng inviting village cadres, township leaders and village elders to have a New Year's dinner together. This is the custom in Qin Feng's hometown.

At noon that day, for some reason, Qin Feng drank a lot of wine, especially under the urging of the uncles and aunts in the village, Qin Feng drank one glass after another.

When the banquet was over and everyone had left, Qin Feng was still walking back and forth in the old house, smoking and observing. For Qin Feng, what he was looking at was not a house, but memories. For Qin Feng, this house was not just an old house, but emotion.
