The Year (125)

The Spring Festival of '86 came unconsciously.

This year, the old man wants to go back to his hometown.

"I've been wanting to go back all these years. There is no time for everything. Now, while I can still move, it's time to go back and grave your grandparents. The old man was a little sad, "When your grandfather left, I was on the battlefield and did not give the old man a pension." It's all the help of the people. When your grandmother left, I was on a labor camp. It was Yin Kun who sent your grandmother away. Over the years, I didn't dare to think about it, and I felt uncomfortable thinking about it once. But if you don't go back, I'm afraid that there will only be regrets left in this life. ”

The old man sat on the sofa, smoking cigarette after cigarette.

"Come on, then go back. Yin Kun nodded, "I'll send a telegram to my hometown......"

"No, I don't. The old man shook his head, "No need to send a telegram. No one says in advance. The people below the province ushered in the send-off. Let's go quietly and keep quiet. ”

As an old man, when he returns to his hometown, he can't cope with officials of all sizes.

Yin Kun asked in a low voice, "Then who will you take back?"

"Go back. The old man made a final decision, "How can you do it if you don't go back to recognize your family?"

Yin Kunxin said, you can really be enough. When the whole family goes back, how can this be? Where to live?

Except for the eldest and three who did not come back, the rest, the eldest sister's family of three, the eldest family's family of five, plus the two of their own family, and the old man, a total of eleven. The point is that there are four more children. None of them have endured hardship.

You're really reminded of a play.

He said yes, but turned his face and called his hometown. I didn't call the elders of the clan, but only told a brother of the same clan, telling him to sweep the house in his hometown and burn it. It's good for the child to have a place to stay when he goes back.

But this time in my hometown, it is not only my own luggage in the winter, but also the things prepared for my hometown, which is the big head.

The old man doesn't want to be special at all, but if he doesn't do it, he can't even buy a train ticket.

Yin Kun arranged for several days, and finally set off on the 24th day of the lunar month.

The man wanted to bring something, Mei Kangmei wanted to support the old man, and Yin Wei hugged Xiaoxiao. Lin Yutong has to take care of his three children.

I got on the train in advance, but no one was crowded.

The train traveled for two days to get to JI South, and it took two more buses to get to the town.

"When I left home and went back, my hometown voice has not changed, and my sideburns have declined. The old man was dressed in civilian clothes and looked at the town in front of him. This is not the town he knows for a long time.

"I'm going to hire a tricycle. Yin Kun put down his luggage and was about to leave. Nowadays, there are still a lot of manpower three rounds in the county, and one dollar can be pulled anywhere.

"It's only a dozen miles away, what kind of car to hire?" the old man was not happy, "If you can't take it, Lao Tzu will take it." ”

Get!

Yin Kun could only lift the bag, "Then let's go." But this ...... Don't you feel sorry for my son, and you don't feel sorry for my grandson? The children didn't go through ...... like this."

The old man was very persistent this time, and turned his face to look at a few children, "If any of you are tired, grandpa will carry you." But this goes home...... I just have to walk......"

Xiaoxiao is held by Yin Wei. These three of my own family look like they are still successful.

"Not tired, grandpa. Yesheng hurriedly said. After finishing speaking, he grimaced at Zhensheng and Yusheng. It's a lot of money to think about.

Today, the town is rushing to the market, and it is very lively. Sell everything.

The old man led the way and followed the path in his impression.

"That's not right!" Yin Kun hurriedly stopped, "You follow me." That road is long gone. ”

After walking less than two miles, I met people from the village. This person may not know the old man, but he must know Yin Kun.

"Isn't this Kunzi?" a young man had already passed by on a bicycle, and because the group was obviously dressed differently, he couldn't help but look back curiously.

"It's a hadron. Inkun put his luggage behind the bike, "But I'm exhausted." You should go back first and call a tractor. ”

Qiangzi looked back, "Oh mom, is my uncle back?"

The old man nodded, "I'm back, come home and take a look." ”

Qiangzi hurriedly pedaled the car, "Uncle, you wait, I'll go back to call a car." ”

"Mom, I haven't been on a tractor yet. Yusheng whispered.

Lin Yutong smiled, "That's a pity, your dad drove a tractor well, you can try it later." ”

The fourth master couldn't help but smile and glared at Lin Yutong.

Tractors are coming faster than expected, but how clean can farm vehicles be?

The adults don't have any special feelings, it's just Mei Kangmei, who has been in the village. It's just that the look on the child's face is really not very wonderful.

Especially when I saw the adobe house of the old house and the big kang, it was immediately not good.

The people in the clan who knew the news all came out, and a few aunts and sisters-in-law were already helping to work in the kitchen of the old mansion.

The men entertained the guests, and the women began to boil water and cook.

At first, Xiaoxiao didn't let go of Yin Wei, and she didn't go to the kang alive or dead.

It was Lin Yutong who whispered to his children: "You were born in the rain at the time, and then lived on the kang like this for more than half a year. What else is there to dislike. ”

These things, the children know. But knowing is knowing, but never seen.

Now, it's just in front of their eyes. For a moment, it seemed really hard to accept.

"Go! I took off my shoes and went to sit on the kang. Lin Yutong pushed the three children.

Yusheng pulled Xiaoxiao at this time, and several children sat on the kang in a hurry.

The adults were drinking and drinking hotly below, and several children were lying down and falling asleep with a pair of headphones.

That night, eleven people were huddled on a large kang. There is a curtain in the middle, with men on one side and women and children on the other.

Whoever asked them to go to live in their house, the old man insisted on not going. Even if you lay the floor, you must stick to your home.

Xiaoxiao is not used to the days without milk, and her children can't get used to the life of not being able to take a bath.

Even Lin Yutong and the fourth master stayed for two days, and they were uncomfortable.

In fact, life in the countryside is still not as good as in the city. You can also eat meat during the New Year, but it is even a family of three or two catties for the New Year. The child's New Year's money, giving a dime is a lot.

Some village-run factories also began to emerge.

When it was the thirtieth day of the lunar month, he went to the grave. The old man didn't want anyone to help, so he cleaned the grass on the grave and cultivated the soil for the grave by himself.

In the village, there are not many people who buy TVs, even black and white, and there are only three or five TVs.

I didn't watch the Spring Festival Gala this year, but I just gathered on the kang to talk and laugh, which is considered to be a New Year.

The only thing that made the children happy was that the fourth master borrowed a tractor from the village and pulled the children and Lin Yutong around the village several times. The three children sat in the car as if their father was driving a top-of-the-line sports car. That one was triumphant.

Lin Yutong said in his heart that this is really a native hat in another sense.

The family thought that they had done a good job of secrecy, but who knew that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the leaders of the town would come to visit the New Year with the leaders of the county. This completely disrupted the old man's plan.

"Where can this be hidden? Yin Kun said in a low voice. How shrewd people are now.

I'm afraid that the people in the village will not be able to quickly reveal this news.

The fourth master explained to Lin Yutong in a low voice, "The town, the village, and even the county all hope to rely on the old man's face to win more ...... from above."

Lin Yutong nodded understandingly.

Shouldn't it benefit the township? But I'm afraid that someone will use chicken feathers as arrows.

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was past twelve o'clock. The old man left a year's salary on the kang and set off with the family.

In the town, there are tractors hired by Yinkun. I got on a tractor and went to the county seat, then caught the first train and went straight to the train station.

Sneaky, so that people can't tell what it's like.

Yin Kun complained to the fourth master, "Nowadays, it is really difficult to find someone like the old man, who does not use the power in his hands to do private affairs." ”

After two days of repairing at home, I took the child back to the house.

I didn't expect to go back to my hometown, but I missed a happy event. Yun Fan and Zhao Ting got married in a low-key manner.

"You're so bold. Lin Yutong looked at Zhao Ting, who was busy in the kitchen of Master Yun's house, and said with a smile.

This girl is very tough, she actually stole the family's household registration book, found the leader of the unit to open a certificate, and secretly got a marriage certificate with Yunfan.

This is definitely a fool's audacity.

The fourth master reprimanded Yun Fan outside, "If people don't agree, you have to find a way." The girl's family can't afford it on their shoulders, so you have to bear it. What is this for?"

Yun Fan was aggrieved, "She told me that her parents agreed, and I didn't think much about it, who knew that the marriage certificate was obtained, so she said that she stole the household registration book." I immediately went to her door, and I wanted to beat and scold them. It's an elder. I'll take anything I say, even if it's a beating. Who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he was kicked out without saying a word. It's a ...... thing."

Master Yun continued: "The next day, these two children came back, and I found out. At that time, I hated to beat this kid. I immediately brought my things and apologized to my parents. guaranteed to get Yunfan a regular job in the arsenal, and this was done. ”

"Even if it's done, we will be suspended without pay, and our restaurant can't be closed. Zhao Ting has a lot of ideas, "Anyway, they can be angry for a year or two, and they can be angry for a lifetime." If I don't get married again, my eldest brother and sister-in-law should have an opinion. After a while, they will be relieved. As she spoke, she put the fruit bowl on the table, and said to Lin Yutong, "I'll call you sister-in-law now." I really have something to ask of you. Next door to our restaurant is an abandoned warehouse in our factory, and I want to rent it so that the shop can be more than doubled. Nowadays, the restaurant business is good, and in order to grab a seat, there are some customers who almost fight. ”

This is to follow the path of Brother Lin.

Lin Yutong responded, "Turn around, I'll tell my eldest brother." If you go by yourself, who else can make it difficult for you?"

"I still have to say something from my sister-in-law, now this factory is different from before. Zhao Ting shook her head, her expression a little complicated.
