Chapter 8 Transportation
Weibo ignored the fighting method of the baby and the mother-in-law, and continued to say to Canghai: "Over there, the one with the red lantern is my house!"
"It's a good mix!" Canghai saw that the two-story small general building in Zheng Weibo's house looked particularly eye-catching in a bungalow, so he opened his mouth to praise.
Zheng Weibo scratched his head: "Hey, what's good, let's eat, let's do this first, come to my house at noon tomorrow, and let's have a few drinks!"
Canghai smiled: "I really don't necessarily have time, I'm going to go back to the old village tomorrow morning to have a look!"
Hearing Canghai say that he wanted to go back to the old village, Zheng Weibo said: "What else is there to see in the old village, now almost all the villages in the ravine and ditch have been moved to the town, even if there are still people in the old village guarding it, I am afraid that it will be dilapidated, not to mention your Siping Village, you have to pull the livestock for two or three hours to carry the water, where are there still people."
"No matter what you say, you have to go back and see, give my grandfather, my big grave or something!"
Hearing Canghai say this, Zheng Weibo stopped talking, for the countryside, this is filial piety, and it is not kind for people to worship their ancestors and go to the grave to drink hard.
"Well, I'll come to the house when I come back!"
Canghai nodded and responded to this, and when he saw that Zheng Weibo was leaving, Canghai stopped him, and then took out a box of fruit from the back of the car, as well as some imported pastries, the kind in the iron box, although it was not worth much, but it was quite dignified when the gift was placed in the town.
Seeing that Zheng Weibo was about to resign, Canghai said: "If you push me, I'm embarrassed to come to the door to beg for wine!"
"Okay, then I'll take it."
The men in the west rarely twisted, and when they heard Canghai say this, they accepted it generously, and as soon as the gift was next, the baby Zheng Ziyue held the pastries in the iron box and did not let go, so he was trained by Lu Jing all the way and left.
Looking at the back of this family of three, a smile appeared on the corner of Canghai's mouth.
After a moment of daze, Canghai stood at the door of the third uncle's house, and was about to knock on the door, when he suddenly saw the door open.
"Ouch,!"
A fat woman in her early fifties who had just gone out of the house was suddenly startled when she didn't expect a person standing at the door.
"Third aunt!"
Canghai recognized the woman, and immediately opened his mouth and shouted, it was none other than Canghai's third aunt Wei Qin who went out. Wei Qin is also from Siping Village, let's put it this way, Wei Qina really watched Canghai fall to the ground, and watched Canghai grow up wearing open crotch pants.
Wei Qin heard someone call him the third aunt, looked at it, and then said with joy on his face: "Haiwazi?!"
Seeing Canghai nodded, Wei Qin immediately grabbed Canghai's arm, as soon as he saw his nephew, Wei Qin was so excited that he didn't say anything for a moment, and after a while, tears flowed down his fat cheeks.
"Third aunt!"
Canghai was also a little excited.
Canghai's mother left when she was a few years old, not because her mother died, but because her family was poor, she couldn't live anymore and ran away with people, and after that, Wei Qin, an enthusiastic aunt, became half of Canghai's mother.
Wei Qin wiped away a handful of tears and said self-deprecatingly: "Look at me, it's a happy thing for my nephew to come back!"
Speaking of this, he turned his head and yelled at the yard: "The baby is big, hurry up, see who is back!"
The women in the west are all loud voices, and the neighbors who are listening to this roar are probably hearing it, and there is no place in the courtyard where the people who are washing their hair can't hear it.
Holding a white handkerchief while wiping the water droplets on his head, Cang Shiyuan walked towards the door.
I saw a young descendant standing at the door of his house, looking at his face and looking vaguely like the shadow of the second brother of the deceased five or six points, so Cang Shiyuan opened his mouth and said: "Haiwazi!"
"Third uncle!"
Canghai looked at the third uncle who was walking towards him, when he left, the third uncle was still full of black hair, but now his head is half white, and the leader who has always been a big back has now been replaced by a short inch of hair, and his originally black but smooth face has also seen the traces of time.
Ten years has made a man in his prime a little old.
"Go into the house, enter the house, you mother-in-law, Haiwazi will be at the door when she comes back, hurry up and inform the eldest brother, and tell my sister-in-law too, don't cook tonight, Haiwazi will come to our house when he comes back, and also, go to Lao Liu's braised meat stall and chop a few braised ......."
Seeing his nephew come back, Cang Shiyuan was extremely happy, and suddenly came to his mother-in-law with a lot of words.
Wei Qin was also happy here, so he turned around and walked towards his home.
Canghai said to his uncle and aunt: "Third uncle, third aunt, I also brought some things to you and the uncle's family!"
Seeing Cang Hai stretch out his hand and point to the car parked on the side of the road, Cang Shiyuan smiled and said, "Well, Haiwazi has a big sedan car!"
Canghai smiled, turned around and came to the side of the car and began to take the contents of the trunk down. Canghai has a lot of things, and a whole trunk is stuffed full, there is food and clothing that is useful, and the three of them moved to the hall together, piled up into a small pile.
"The third family, who is here to be so lively!"
Just when the three of them were busy working, another woman came to the courtyard, and Canghai fixed his eyes to see who was not his eldest aunt.
"Uncle!"
The woman was stunned for a moment, stopped her steps and stood at the door of the hall, looked at the sea for a while, and then said, "Haiwazi!"
Seeing Canghai nodded, the woman said happily, "Finally back!
After shouting three times in a row, the woman shouted at the outside: "The master, the baby is big! Come quickly, our Hai Wazi is back."
In less than a minute, an old man wearing a sheepskin jacket, a slightly worn camouflage military pants on his lower body, and a pair of black leather old cotton shoes appeared in the courtyard.
Canghai's father Cang Shijun is not the brother of Cang Shiyuan and Cang Shigui, and he has to push it to the grandfather's generation, but because the people in the village are thin, although everyone is a little far apart in blood, when it comes to the thickness of family affection, it can far exceed the ordinary family.
When the uncle and nephew met like this, it was inevitable to have a hot chat, and after Canghai answered a series of questions from the uncle and aunt, he began to distribute the gifts.
Through such a chat, Canghai learned that the two children of the uncle's family are working outside, and the only son of the third uncle's family is still going to school in the county, and the two families of the old Cang's family are the same as most of the people in the town, almost all of the young and strong have gone out to work, and the rest are either old, weak, sick or doing some small business.
"Is there anyone in the village?" asked Canghai.
Cang Shigui said: "Someone, there are only ten people here, the old man of the Hu family, the uncle of the Wei family, and two or three members of the old Li family, and the young one is only one stupid baby who is safe......."
Hearing what the uncle said, Canghai relieved a little bit: It's good to have someone.
"Haiwazi, how many days will you come back this time?" asked the eldest aunt Liu Shujuan.
"Let's see, this time it may be three or five days, but soon I'll move back in!"
Hearing Canghai say this, the four people sitting were taken aback, stunned for a moment and then fell silent, and the originally warm atmosphere seemed to fade all of a sudden.
"You baby can't be sick!" Cang Shiyuan said in a slightly annoyed tone: "People are eager to leave, run far away, you are good, let go of the good devil and don't work, turn around and return here, aren't you sick......
The third aunt stretched out her hand and patted the master, and then persuaded Canghai: "Haiwazi, you can't be stupid, what we want here is nothing, even now, this water is also a precious thing, you said that you are a famous college student, what can you do when you come back, can you farm or dig a kiln, even if you can farm and dig a kiln, our land is not as good as your stay in Jiangnan, even if an acre of land is planted with sorghum corn, the yield is less than half of the ...... of others."
The third aunt persuaded her, and the uncle and the aunt also opened their mouths to persuade them, in their hearts, Canghai is a college student in the family, that is the pride of the old Cang family, not to mention the past, even now, there have been few famous college students in the entire four miles and eight townships, not to mention the famous universities along the coast, even the children who went out of the junior college were counted with two slaps, and now I heard that the pride of the old Cang family is ready to return to his hometown, so where is it!
It's a pity that Canghai has made up his mind in his heart, where can they be persuaded in a few words, everyone persuaded a few words, and they all knew that the nine cows that their nephew had decided couldn't pull back, so they began to sigh in their hearts, feeling that their eldest nephew had lost his heart and was crazy.
After chatting for a while, the two women began to prepare dinner, Canghai first returned, although there were only four people in the family, but Cang Shiyuan and his family still prepared a large table of dishes, seven or eight kinds of half were meat dishes, and the five people drank a little wine during the banquet, and this meal was drunk from five o'clock in the evening to nine o'clock, which was considered to be the end of the scene.
After eating a meal, Canghai realized that the county's current policy is to concentrate on resettlement, and it turned out that all the poor people in the ravines and ravines were concentrated in the small town, and the province spent a lot of money to divert water to open up fields, and resettled these originally poor villagers.
But the consequence of this is that the already barren wasteland loess is now even more sparsely populated, and the road leading to the original village is naturally even more impossible to repair, so if you want to enter the village now, the car can't pass at all, at most it can pass a carriage or something, and it has to be that kind of old and narrow carriage.
Now the best means of transportation to get into the village is a motorcycle, almost a mule and a donkey, and as for walking, it is not what it used to be, and very few people spend a whole day walking back from the ravine.
Thinking about it this way, Canghai planned to go to the motorcycle shop in the town tomorrow morning to have a look and buy himself a suitable motorcycle, as for his own old public, he put it directly at the door of the third uncle's house.
While thinking about what he would do when he returned to his hometown tomorrow, Canghai fell asleep after a while.
Canghai slept soundly here, Cang Shiyuan and his family couldn't sleep, and the nephew went back to his hometown like crazy, which made the two of them feel panicked, but they didn't know how to persuade this strong nephew, so they could only sigh for a long time and didn't have a good idea.
