In the studio, Sun Fatzi stared at Chen Qiaoshan and asked with burning eyes, "What, you want to go to Xinhua?"

Chen Qiaoshan said: "Yes, I'll leave in the afternoon, don't forget to explain your affairs!"

Tickets are for the afternoon, and the time is still early.

Although it is the May Day holiday, the studio can take a vacation after all, after all, there are a few, as a professional code farmer, want to have a complete seven-day vacation, it must be wishful thinking, overtime is the norm, and normal vacation is a small probability event.

"Why did you suddenly want to go to Xinhua, and I haven't heard you mention it?" Sun Fatzi had some doubts in his heart, he originally wanted to go home, but Chen Qiaoshan didn't go back, so he stayed, and now it's good, this guy is ready to slip away alone.

"The paper I prepared studied the typing and copying group of 200,000 people in Xinhua. After Chen Qiaoshan explained, he advised: "Don't forget, each of the 56 undergraduate colleges on the list must arrange someone to do the questionnaire, don't miss it." ”

Fat Sun shook the list in his hand, and couldn't help muttering: "Yanjing is not big, why are there so many universities." ”

"The size depends on who you compare it to. Chen Qiaoshan smiled: "What, do you have an opinion?"

"How can you be okay. Sun Fatzi was a little depressed, "There are no 985 colleges and universities in our Henan Province, and there is only one Zheng Da in 211, and there are very few books, who will you reason with?"

Chen Qiaoshan did not make any effort to explain, this is a sociological problem, in the final analysis, it is still an economic problem, "Okay, don't think about it, that's not something we can change." ”

Sun Fatzi didn't bother anymore, looking at the list in his hand, he was a little curious: "Dashan, just do a sample survey, why do you have to do any census, isn't it a waste of money?"

Chen Qiaoshan said with a smile: "Didn't you bury me a few days ago and won't spend money, what's the matter, now your conscience has found out?"

Sun Fatzi rolled his eyes, "It's not your way to be rich, how can you get one or two thousand if you hire people to run down, as for it, if you do a sampling survey, you can't use a fraction of it, you really have to do a census, don't talk about delays, and spend money in vain, why are you bothering?"

"Forget it, let's do as I say. Chen Qiaoshan insisted on doing the census.

Engaging in scientific research is a serious matter, and he doesn't mind being meticulous about solving problems that can be solved with money, maybe there will be unexpected gains, at least, detailed data is more convincing.

Sun Fatzi looked helpless, "Okay, it's all up to you, pity me for these two hundred catties, sooner or later you will be tossed." ”

"Die on the side. Chen Qiaoshan's face turned green, he was a serious person, and when Sun Fatzi said this, he seemed to have some bad habits, "Why don't you hire some people, it's a big deal, by the way, keep an eye on it, don't spend money and be fooled." ”

Sun Fatzi didn't care, "Don't worry, I'm asking my classmates from the National People's University to help, forty or fifty a day, which is a lot higher than the income earned by handing out leaflets outside, and I'm sure no one is playing tricks." ”

Chen Qiaoshan didn't say anything, although Sun Fatzi had a lack of a doorkeeper on his mouth, he looked good when he got down to business, and he couldn't find anything wrong.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Qiaoshan boarded the train to Hankou, the whole journey took 16 hours, and the standing ticket was much more comfortable than hanging the ticket.

When the car arrived in Zhengzhou, it was already two o'clock in the night, and Chen Qiaoshan had reached the limit of patience, there were too many people, although it was not as good as the Spring Festival, but the situation was not much better.

The train changed its head and stopped for half an hour.

Chen Qiaoshan took the opportunity to move his hands and feet on the platform, no matter what, Yu Province is also his hometown in this life, listening to the familiar cries around him, the fatigue on his body was suddenly relieved a lot, but thinking that in a few hours, he would enter the territory of Hubei Province, his heart was a little more worried.

But after all, he couldn't hide, Chen Qiaoshan curled up in the aisle all night, half-asleep, and the train entered Hubei Province, except for receiving a text message welcoming you from Hubei Province, everything else was silent.

When he arrived in Hankou, he changed to a train to northwest Hubei and went around and around, until three o'clock in the afternoon, when Chen Qiaoshan arrived at the town where his hometown was located.

There is not much difference between my hometown and my memory, since I went out to study, the number of times I came back has been decreasing, and when it comes to work, I am in a hurry.

For the first time, Chen Qiaoshan had the feeling that things were wrong, he looked for memories, walked around the old house for a long time, everything in front of him was very familiar, but he couldn't find a familiar face.

Mixed between the familiar and the unfamiliar, Chen Qiaoshan had a feeling of being withdrawn, and he didn't even have the courage to ask someone to inquire about his relatives and friends.

He knew in his heart that there was no going back.

Casually found a ridge to sit down, Chen Qiaoshan fell into a state of silence, even now, he is still accustomed to thinking that this is the whole of his childhood.

He once organized a small gang here to steal melons from Hougang, and then was chased by Lao Shaan, who was watching melons, and was beaten by his father when he went home.

In the river not far away, he started with a dog planing and practiced his water skills, thanks to which he dared to save Zhou Rui's life from the sinking Santana.

……

Everything has nothing to do with Chen Qiaoshan.

He remembered the old people of the mountains and rivers, how similar the situation, the mountains are still mountains, the rivers are no longer rivers, he has never left, but he can never go back.

"What kind of baby, it's dark, and I won't go back to cut rice. ”

Very suddenly, Chen Qiaoshan was awakened from his memories, raised his eyes, not far away stood a slightly hunchbacked old man, the sky was dark, he couldn't see his face at all, from the dry tobacco pouch with a slight spark, all the impressions left by the years were reflected.

"Uncle, my old Tang family, have you been supper?"

"No, I'm patrolling my grandson, and I don't know which country I went, have you seen it?"

"I don't know. With that, Chen Qiaoshan stood up, squeaked, and turned to leave, he knew that he was going, and this place had nothing to do with him.

"Old Tang's?" The old man with the cigarette pouch looked at the cigarette holder that had been extinguished, knocked it on the shoe board, shook off the ashes, and prepared to reload the cigarette, but his heart was full of doubts, within a few miles of the garden above the town, I had not heard of a family surnamed Tang.

Listening to the accent, it is indeed a local baby, looking at it but looking at it, thinking, the old man shook his head, it is better to find the naughty grandson first.

Chen Qiaoshan didn't know that he had already aroused the old man's doubts, and now he just wanted to leave here as soon as possible, and he didn't want to stay for a minute.

Tugang, Heti, steep hills, hilly landforms, there is no shortage here, there is still some distance from the town, although the sky is gray, it is difficult to Chen Qiaoshan, with the light of the stars or the distant stars, he walked towards the town in the dark.

Halfway through, Chen Qiaoshan's mobile phone rang.

"Hey. ”

"Second brother, have you eaten?" Xiao Wu's crisp voice came through the microphone, and the cheerful tone made Chen Qiaoshan's spirit suddenly shocked.

"No, I'm starving. ”

"Cut, you're lying to me again, Fairy Yan said that you take her to eat delicious food all day long. "The little girl has a sharp mouth, which is the true biography of Chen's mother.

Listening to Xiao Wu's nagging, Chen Qiaoshan's mood suddenly improved a lot, "Yes, why don't I know, let's talk about it, what do you two usually talk about?"

"I won't tell you. Xiao Wu said with some complaints in a flash: "Second brother, why didn't you come back during this holiday, I haven't seen you for a long time, the third sister and the fourth sister are back, by the way, my mother specially stewed an old hen, but unfortunately you can't eat it." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Wu laughed again, a few words of work, joy and sorrow turned several times in a row, it is definitely not possible for ordinary people to put it aside, and it can only be Xiao Wu, and his emotions are so skillful and free.

"Our family has a lot of delicious food today, and we also wrapped dumplings, and I also wrapped them, but I haven't cooked them yet, second brother, let me tell you, I secretly wrapped a milk candy in a dumpling......"

Xiao Wu said a lot, but it was all fragments, and there was no point at all.

Chen Qiaoshan listened very carefully, and the two discussed the distribution of chicken legs, and there was a dispute over this, and finally Xiao Wu's distribution plan won.

During the conversation, Chen Qiaoshan was surprised to find that the little girl was so familiar with Yanjing's food, not only several major domestic cuisines, but also Western desserts, and Japanese foods such as sukiyaki, which were clearly the delicacies he and Yan Xiaoqin had tasted.

"I said Xiao Wu, how do you know everything, can you take a book and remember it?"

Xiao Wu said arrogantly: "No, I'll remember it once the Yan goblin says it." ”

After a pause, she reminded again: "Second brother, don't forget, you are going to take me and the third sister and the fourth sister to Yanjing to play in the summer vacation, and I will eat all the delicacies of Yanjing at that time." ”

Chen Qiaoshan shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was a snack again, but unfortunately his mind was completely used in the wrong place, if he put it on studying, the whole family didn't know how much worry to save.

He chatted with the third and fourth children again, probably because of age, compared with the fifth child, in front of them, Chen Qiaoshan was much more square and restrained, and asked briefly about school life.

The phone eventually reached Chen's mother.

"Hey, second, have you eaten?"

"Not yet, Mom, I'll be there in a moment. ”

"What time is it, isn't it five or six o'clock for dinner in the city, have you gone out to the wilderness again......

Chen's mother has always nagged, and it took a long time to end this phone call, thanks to Nokia, otherwise it is estimated that she would have stopped cooking a long time ago.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Qiaoshan's originally depressed mood was relieved, and he finally glanced back at the shadows of the mountains and rivers in the distance, and left without looking back.

Here, there is no longer any concern.
