Huangyang County is in the middle of the surrounding mountains, facing the county seat of Huangyang, only to see the white vast river water exuding cold air coming from the north, because of the mountain situation, gradually narrowing, around the foot of the mountain in the west of Huangyang County, to the west. The mountains in front of me are bare, looking at it from a distance, it looks more like a simple ink painting, looking far away, a natural landscape map, extremely beautiful.

But you can also see the poverty of Huangyang County, the buildings, low and dilapidated, looking around, there is no bright place, the most prominent is the central attic in the martyr's pavilion, which stands alone at the highest tip in Huangyang County. Sun He told them that the attic is also equipped with LED lights, which will be turned on at night, and it is a landmark building in the entire Huangyang County.

Geng Hao and them easily found a hot pot restaurant in the afternoon and drank some wine. They said that Geng Hao could leave here as soon as this semester was over, and they were very envious of Geng Hao, and said that they wished Geng Hao a good job, become popular, and be rich in the future. Geng Hao didn't have any extra explanations, just drank their toasts one by one, and said that he also wished them that they could get the life they wanted in the future.

Because of this year's snow disaster, pork prices have shown an upward trend, and the people of Mocun are overjoyed to get the news. Before the wax moon, Mo Cun picked a time, sold the pigs to the field, and took advantage of the high price of pork to make a lot of money.

When killing pigs, a large wooden basin is placed in the yard in front of the door, and there is a large iron basin. There are several large stoves burning next to it, and water is boiling on the stove, waiting to be used to scald the pig later. Several people pulled the pig out of the pigsty, made basic preparations, and the pig killer went down to the struggling and squeezing pig, directly cutting its neck, fast and ruthless, that is, in the blink of an eye, the pig let out a terrible scream, which made people feel uncomfortable, and after a while, they were out of breath. At this time, the pot next to him had already been filled with pig's blood.

The pig killer divides the pig is also neat, the hand is up and down, a pig is broken down piece by piece, the pig owner has already burned a bunch of iron rods, the pig's head and pig's trotters and the like are scalded again, the smell of pig-hair and pig skin being burned is very unpleasant. The people of Mo Village, who gathered together, didn't mind, so they pointed to the pig and said, this pig is very fat, less lean, suitable for oil refining or something.

The pig killer went out of this household with his front foot, and entered that household with his back foot, and he could kill a lot of them in a day. Every once in a while, there was a burst of pig screaming in the village. The pig killers had long seen the big business of killing pigs in their village, and took the opportunity to raise the price and make a lot of money.

When every family kills a pig, it is inevitable to invite neighbors and relatives to have a pork feast at home to celebrate. The people of Mo Village are grateful for the leadership of the village party secretary and let them embark on the road to prosperity, and they have invited the village party secretary and the village director and Zhong Xiu to drink broth at home, and Geng Hao, as a new guest of Mo Village, is also in the list of invitations.

In those days, there were not many people in the village committee who went to work, and Geng Hao didn't need Sister Huang to cook every afternoon, and they were all in the banquets. Most of the banquet was a thank you to the village party secretary, and Geng Hao, who was exaggerated in praise, was panicked when he heard it.

This situation has lasted for nearly two weeks, and in the middle of the lunar month, under the persuasion of the branch secretary, everyone took advantage of the situation to buy pigs with the money from the sale of pigs, and doubled the purchase, and bought two this time if they bought one. Each family did not have enough to feed the pigs, so they discussed it collectively and went to borrow money to buy pig feed.

Zhong Xiu feels that they are now raising pigs individually, not opening a pig farm, they are not a fixed source of supply, and now everyone is taking advantage of the high price of pork to raise pigs, according to the laws of the market, it will not be long before the price of pork will be reduced again, then they may lose money.

The village party secretary is gaining momentum, and he is a little fluttering by everyone. This is the second round of his role as a branch secretary, and it is easy to seize the opportunity to do something to get rich that the whole village will be grateful for, how can he not use it all? Just tell Zhong Xiu Don't worry, even if the pork market declines, it will take a while, and they will make a lot of money before that.

Zhong Xiu always felt that it was not appropriate, so he asked Director Mo, who was his uncle, to say. Director Mo saw that the village had made money by raising pigs, so he resolutely supported the leadership of the branch secretary, and asked Zhong Xiu not to think about it, to do a good job of paperwork, and to calculate the accounts that were owed, in and out. Zhong Xiu looked at the account book and became more and more worried, the village was already in debt, and this time it owed even more.

Zhong Xiu is worried, Geng Hao is also worried, because Geng Hao has often seen from the Internet recently where there is a blizzard, which has led to any accidents, and some people say that this year may usher in a year of heavy snowfall. This matter is also more obvious in Mo Village. The people of Mocun will say a word every time it snows, and this year's snow is much more than in previous years. Although they made money by raising pigs, they were in a good mood, but they began to worry about the crops in the field, for fear of being affected by the cold and heavy snow.

When Geng Hao wrote his diary every night, he took out the ticket in the diary and looked at it, and read it again and again. Such bad snow conditions should not affect train traffic. I was silently comforting myself in my heart, the tickets were all taken, and it was already an ironclad matter to go back, so there was no need to worry. But it's going to snow, and it really affects the train traffic, what can he do?

After killing a pig and buying a pig, this day is almost the New Year, and there is still a week before the end of the term. The uncle's family suddenly called, and hurriedly told Geng Hao that the train number of the city and county over their home had stopped several trains, and asked Geng Hao what the train number was, and helped to check. Geng Hao told his uncle the number of his two tickets. When the uncle checked, he was even more anxious, saying that the transfer station to the side of the house really stopped.

When Geng Hao heard the news, he was also anxious, but he still comforted the uncle, saying that he would see it the day before he left, maybe he would be able to get through by then. Uncle said that he would keep an eye on it.

Geng Hao put aside the worry of going home, and went to school every day to watch those students become more and more serious day by day, and he was moved, I don't know whether he was happy or sad, of course, more joy. When there was still half a month before the final exam, Geng Hao planned to prepare New Year's gifts for the students of Mocun Primary School, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what to prepare, so he finally dragged it out.

It was not until now that Geng Hao decided that it was the simplest and most practical way to buy them some stationery. Taking advantage of the weekend, Geng Hao took Huang Lin's car to the city. Huang Lin has been very busy in the past month or two, greeting the New Year, doing New Year's goods, buying new clothes, everyone in and out of Taoping Town for various reasons, almost full of trips, Geng Hao can be squeezed into pieces of paper when sitting in the car. At this time, the price of the car has already been changed to the high price of the Spring Festival, and Huang Lin will take advantage of these two months every year to run more and earn more, so that he can have money to have a good year.

In the last two times, Huang Lin didn't send Geng Hao to the city, and picked up the passengers back to Taoping Town at the passenger station. Geng Hao greeted Huang Lin and walked around the city by himself around the city road. I found a stationery store and used my salary to buy a diary, a set of colored pencils, a set of pencils, and a set of notebooks for everyone in Mocun Primary School. Geng Hao could only rejoice that there were not many students in Mocun Primary School, otherwise he would have gone bankrupt.

It was also this time that Geng Hao learned that the snow disaster in some places on their side was also quite serious, and many train trains were affected, and the refund service had begun, including Geng Hao's train to the transfer station. Geng Hao felt that nothing was worse than this, and was notified one after another to suspend the operation and refund the ticket.

Geng Hao took advantage of no one and asked for a long time what trains were still running. The staff checked and told him very sorry that there were no tickets for the trains that could still run. Moreover, Geng Hao's two tickets have been determined not to depart, and the staff reminded Geng Hao to refund the tickets in time. Forced by objective reasons, Geng Hao had no choice but to refund the ticket.

For this reason, Geng Hao also made a special call to Zhang Nan and them to explain the situation. When Zhang Nan heard this, they were also stupid. They haven't paid much attention to this news, but they only know that there was a heavy snowstorm this year, so they immediately asked Geng Hao to help check the number of trains.

Providence is like a joke, a few of them live in a place not very south, not much of the disaster, from Huangyang County home, the train track is very smooth. After finding out the news, Geng Hao was even more sad and regretted calling them, but he was also glad for them that they could still go home safely for the New Year.

Zhang Nan and the others learned of Geng Hao's tragic situation, and they were busy with all kinds of comforts, and invited Geng Hao to go home with them for the New Year. Geng Hao was full of frustration and refused their kindness, and walked around the city alone with his clothes, ready to go to the passenger station to find Huanglin to go back, but he went up to Nanping Mountain and sat on the highest place of Nanping Mountain, endured the ravages of the cold wind, and overlooked the entire Huangyang County. The river of boxwood is rolling, as if it comes from the sky, and there are one or two iron boats floating on it.

For so many years, he has never spent the New Year outside, and this year, he will probably have to spend the New Year in this strange place. Thinking of this result, somehow, Geng Hao felt uncomfortable inexplicably. The Chinese New Year was supposed to be a reunion in his hometown. Looking at those iron boats, he only thought, can he take the boat and float back home?

After sitting quietly and melancholy for half an hour, Geng Hao gradually thought about it. I can't go home anymore during the Chinese New Year, this time it's an accident, and in the future, maybe it's the norm. It's good to get used to it in advance. After sitting for a while, the snow gradually drifted in the sky again, and then he got up and went down the mountain slowly, with a depressed heart, took the stationery from the small shop at the bottom of the mountain, shrunk his hands in his sleeves, put on his coat and hat, and went to the passenger station.

He waited at the passenger station for half an hour before Huang Lin came out of Taoping Town and picked up Geng Hao to get on the bus. Geng Hao was holding a bunch of things in his arms, leaning against the car window, his eyes were dull, and his whole person was listless. Thinking about it and being able to accept it are two different things. Huang Lin was busy soliciting passengers, and he didn't have time to ask Geng Hao about the situation, and when everyone got into the car and the car started, Huang Lin made time to ask.

"Teacher Geng, didn't you eat at noon?"

The first thing that came to Huang Lin's mind was this question. He sent Geng Hao into the city in the morning, and now it was four o'clock in the afternoon, so tired and weak, he looked like he was hungry. Geng Hao was reminded by him like this, and only then did he realize that he hadn't eaten lunch and had been thinking about not being able to go home, it didn't matter if he didn't react, as soon as he reacted, his stomach began to gurgle cooperatively. Huang Lin immediately showed an expression of "I guessed it", a light smile appeared on his rigid face, and the corners of his mouth showed loose dimples.

"Come to our house for some food in a moment. ”
