The next morning, my mother cooked breakfast, and the family sat down to eat, and after eating quickly, Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Shaofen were leaving today.

Dad told Grandpa to pay attention to his body, and we will go out to work today. Shaofen and her mother said the same.

Dad was carrying Shaofen's travel bag, and Mom was also carrying one, Shaofen was carrying a backpack containing ten catties of dried peanuts and three catties of walnuts.

Shao Ke went out with them, ready to take them to the station, and his grandfather was busy at home alone.

The family talked for a while before leaving, walked to the side of the road and waited for the tricycle, Shaoke said as he walked: "Sister, you went out to work, remember to contact my brother, I will write or call you." ”

Shaofen also said as she walked: "I know brother, I will." ”

The two siblings grew up together since childhood, and now they are still a little reluctant to separate, for the sake of a more stable life, they can only do this.

Soon the tricycle came, the family got into the car, and the driver drove away.

After they left, Grandpa looked in the direction they had gone for a long time, and did not return to the house until he was out of sight.

sighed, thinking that his son and grandchildren also had to go out for a better life in the future, and he couldn't work by himself in the future, and his son and daughter-in-law would come back.

He went back to the house and fed the animals and washed his clothes.

About forty minutes later, the tricycle arrived in town, and my mother gave the fare, and the family hurried out of the car.

Get off the bus and go to the front, the front is the station to Xjiang City, walk along this street in this town, today is the market, there are many people on the street.

The family walked briskly, and it didn't take long to reach the station, where three buses to the city were waiting.

The driver kept shouting: "The car to Xjiang City is about to start, everyone hurry up." ”

When the family heard this, they hurriedly went up, and there were already many people in the car. Shaoke's family hurriedly found a seat and sat down.

When the time came, the driver drove away, and the conductor's eldest sister began to sell tickets, collecting everyone's fares one by one, and came to her mother, who immediately gave the family fare.

The driver drove very steadily, and it was a long way from the town to the city, and it took about an hour to ride, because the highway had not been built at that time, so it was not allowed to drive too fast.

Looking at the trees outside moving back, the two siblings were very happy, because they could live in another city, and they were still looking forward to it.

The two siblings talked cautiously, discussing how much it would cost to get to x, and how long would it take to sit there?

Mom and Dad looked at the two siblings with a smile and didn't speak, twenty years have passed, the two children have grown up, and now they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The two siblings talked for a while before they stopped, began to sleep in their seats, and called their mother to call them, and their mother said yes.

Grandpa went to wash clothes by the river at home, and several eldest ladies were also washing, and when they saw him coming, they called him with a smile. He called them with a smile.

Several ladies smiled and said, "Uncle Chen, you wash your own clothes, and your son and they went out to work." ”

Grandpa smiled and said yes, put the water on it, poured laundry detergent and started scrubbing.

Several ladies laughed and said: "It's good for young people to go out to work, but it's hard to earn some money at home." After our children graduated, we also went out and went out when we could.

Growing crops at home, really tired, it would be good to earn 4,000 yuan a year, and they can earn 10,000 yuan a year if they work hard outside. It's really okay, it's tiring to work anyway. ”

Grandpa also nodded and smiled and said yes, after a few ladies washed it, they left one after another, and it didn't take long for grandpa to go back with his clothes after washing.

Slowly carry it home, find the hanger to dry when you arrive, sit down and rest, grandpa is almost seventy-one years old this year, if he is younger, he also wants to go out.

After sitting for a while, he poured out the remaining walnuts and hung them, Shaoke had to come back, and when the time came, he asked him to pretend to eat them, and eat them to replenish his brain.

He took out a small wooden hammer, took a walnut, and cracked it, and Grandpa picked up the fresh walnut and ate it, his teeth were not so good, and it tasted quite fragrant, crunchy, like a peanut.

Every time I beat walnuts, I pick them first to sell them for some money, and eat the rest by myself.

Grandpa stopped eating two and swept the walnut shells on the ground. Ready to go out and dry the citrus branches, they are all cut off and excess.

I closed the door and went out, wearing a straw hat and canvas gloves, and slowly walked towards the citrus trees.

About an hour later, the bus arrived at the station in Xjiang City, and Shaoke's family hurriedly got off with the flow of people.

Wait at the station here, but also take a section to the long-distance bus station, you can buy a ticket on the same day to go by bus, you have to buy a ticket a day in advance to take the train, take the train longer, or the car is faster.

Not long after, the X02 bus came, and my mother told them to hurry up and get on the bus, which was the bus to the long-distance bus station. The family hurried up.

Finding a place to sit down, my mother bought a ticket, and the bus waited for a while before leaving towards the long-distance station. Every time you arrive at a station, you will call to remind the people on the train to get off.

It didn't take long for it to arrive, and my mother told the two siblings to get off the train quickly, and after the family got down, they hurried to the station inside.

Someone outside stopped and asked, "Do you want to go to Xdu?" ”

My mother hurriedly said no, called the two siblings in, and said as she walked: "This is a private car, I wonder if he will increase the fare halfway to drive to the x capital?

Pay attention outside, don't take a ride casually, but you must remember, now that the part-time job has only started for a few years, everyone is short of money, and there are many cheats, so you should be careful when you come to study in x.

Most of them are the money of the whole car, so we came back to pick up Shaofen, and if we don't come back, you two brothers and sisters don't know this. ”

The two siblings nodded and said yes, and after walking into the hall, my mother didn't say anything, there were already many people in line to buy tickets, and it was written that every city in the province, as well as those in other provinces.

There are x prefectures, x zhen, x guan, etc. in other provinces, and x capital, x qing, yi x, etc., and there are people in each location.

Dad went to line up first, there were still a lot of people in the whole hall, it was not yet the Spring Festival, and it was not so crowded now.

The staff in the hall was reporting the station, the car from that place came, please line up to check the ticket, after everyone heard it, they walked towards the door and lined up to check the ticket.

It didn't take long for Dad to buy three bus tickets and give them to Mom and Shaofen respectively, telling them to take them and wait for more than ten minutes.

Dad whispered to Shao Ke: "Shao Ke, you remember, you also buy tickets here, do you know?"

Shaoke nodded and said yes, and the mother and daughter went to the toilet, because they had to sit for several hours. Tell dad to take care of the luggage.

Dad said yes, and after a while, the two mothers and daughters came out and asked Dad to go, and Dad said yes and turned around and went.

It took a while to come out, and not long after coming out, the staff began to call the bus of X capital to come, and asked everyone to come and check the ticket.

When her mother heard this, she whispered to Shao Ke: "Shao Ke, let's go, you have to be obedient, make a phone call or write a letter when you go to study." ”

Shaoke nodded and said yes, and Shaofen immediately said loudly: "Brother, let's go, I'll wait for you at X." ”

After speaking, he followed his mother with his bag, and his father said as he walked, "But let's go, you can go back." ”

Shao Ke nodded and said okay, and after standing there and watching the family check with the tickets, they went in, and he turned around and walked out of the door.

While walking, he thought that he would have to rely on himself in the future, but he could refuel, and his sister should come on! At this time, someone stopped him and asked him if he wanted to take the car?

He immediately said no, turned around and went to the station to wait for the bus, and when the bus came, he quickly got on the bus, bought a ticket and sat down.

After Dad, they went in, and hurriedly lined up to get on the bus of Xdu, put their luggage bags on the frame, and the long-distance buses were available.

Then find a place to sit down, I have already taken motion sickness medicine at home in the morning, so I am a little relieved.

When the seat was full, the driver waited for a while and drove away.

It didn't take long to arrive at the station, Shao Ke got off the train, and waited at the station for the bus to Xjia Town. Mom has already given the fare to herself.

The two brothers and sisters just finished their ID cards, and their mother asked Shaoke to send them, and they made a card in the xx bank there, and put the money into the card.

This time when I came back, my father brought it back to him, and he put it at home, and then took it with him when he went to the x capital, and when the bus came, Shaoke hurriedly got on the bus.

After buying a ticket and sitting down, Grandpa had already arrived in the citrus tree field, and he carefully turned the citrus branches to dry, but they had already changed color and were not completely dry.

Grandpa thought to himself, when the time comes, he will pick it up as firewood, and he will pick it back every year.

Two years ago, the two brothers and sisters came to pick it, but Shaofen was accidentally pricked in the hand by a thorn, and it took a long time to pick it out with a needle.

When the two brothers and sisters were reluctant to burn, the grandfather had to cook it himself, and the two brothers and sisters stir-fried.

When Shao Ke went home, his grandfather finished drying and walked back slowly.

Now it's okay to grow a little vegetable at home to eat, and the peanut vines haven't all moved back, so I can pick it up in the afternoon, grandpa thought while walking.

When he got home, he saw that his grandfather was back, and Shaoke called him with a smile, and his grandfather immediately asked, "Your parents and they left in the car." ”

Shaoke smiled and said yes, and Grandpa immediately said, "In the afternoon, we will go and bring back the remaining peanut vines." ”

Shaoke nodded and said okay, and the grandfather and grandson sat down to pound walnuts and eat them.

When Shaofen was at home, every time the three of them sat down to eat the remaining walnuts, Shaoke used the wooden hammer to beat a few walnut shells as before, and after hammering them, they peeled them for their grandfather.

Grandpa smiled and told him to eat, and the grandfather and grandson ate more than a dozen before they stopped eating, swept the walnut shells on the ground, took them outside and poured them.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the grandfather and grandson hurried to the kitchen to cook.
