It's still relatively easy to stay up for three days and two nights, because the day shift and the night shift are just staggered.

Bai Zong himself sleeps during the day, Bai Ke and his father sleep at night, and everyone sleeps for more than ten hours, which is even more luxurious than usual.

By the time they arrived at the fog capital the next afternoon, the three of them were in good spirits.

After getting off the train, I took a long-distance bus for more than an hour, and finally returned to my hometown.

My hometown is also a small county town, surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side.

After arriving at the station, as soon as I got off the train, I saw two men and women in their fifties waving at the three of them.

Not only did Bai Ke fail to recognize them, but even Bai Ce was a little stunned.

But Bai Zong recognized it first: "It seems to be the third aunt and the third aunt." ”

Bai Ce hurriedly greeted him.

Two years ago, when the family of six was still in their hometown, the third aunt and the third aunt had not yet implemented the policy, and they were sent to work on the farm, and it was rare to see them once or twice a year.

When the whole family left their hometown, they didn't have time to come over to say goodbye.

In the first half of this year, the third aunt and the third aunt implemented the policy, and returned to the city from the farm, the whole mental outlook and dress have changed greatly, no wonder Bai Ce didn't recognize it for a while.

The third aunt and the third aunt grabbed one of Bai Ce's arms and slapped him enthusiastically.

The third aunt is older than Bai Ce, and the relationship between the two sisters and brothers is very deep from childhood to adulthood.

They grew up together and went to school together.

Even Bai Ce's later pen from Rong was also influenced by the third brother-in-law.

The third aunt is more than ten years older than the third aunt, and he is an old revolutionary.

His hometown is in Jinnan, and he joined the Eighth Route Army as a teenager.

In the past 50 years, he has suppressed bandits in the southwest, and after the battle, he stayed in the small county town and became the chief of the public security bureau.

The third aunt is a small public security officer who has just graduated from high school and is newly recruited into the Public Security Bureau.

The third aunt recognized Bai Zong at a glance and hurriedly came over to hug him.

She didn't recognize Bai Ke a little, because Bai Ke was too young when he was in his hometown, and he changed a little bit.

But she could still guess: "This is the third white guest, right?"

Bai Ce nodded: "Yes, it was still very young when you saw it at that time." ”

The third aunt affectionately touched Bai Ke's head.

After greeting for a while, the third aunt and the third aunt led the white guest and their husband to walk home.

Their accommodation was not far from the bus stop, about a twenty-minute walk.

The third brother-in-law is an old revolutionary cadre, and although he has implemented the policy and returned to the city, the relevant treatment has not yet been restored.

The family's housing is very tight, and the family of four lives in two rooms, and even the kitchen is shared with the other families.

Seeing the guests from the third aunt's house from afar, the neighbors were very cooperative, and they gave up the kitchen one after another, so that the third aunt could entertain the guests.

At the dinner table, when it came to Qin Yongmei becoming a policeman, the third sister-in-law was full of emotion, but he, an old public security officer, could never return to his previous post.

Over the years, the third brother-in-law has been repeatedly impacted.

In the early 50s, he became the director of the public security bureau, but in the 60s, he was swept out of the house and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperatives to become an ordinary salesman.

In the early seventies, the third aunt and the third aunt were sent to the farm together.

During the labor, the third brother-in-law injured his pelvis, and since then he has been walking a little staggeringly.

After being rehabilitated at the beginning of the year, the third brother-in-law returned to the supply and marketing cooperative.

But at this time, the third brother-in-law had reached the age of retirement, and his health was not good, so he was not assigned any specific work in the supply and marketing cooperative, and he was wandering every day.

The good years have passed in such a blur.

The third aunt's house is a little tight, so at night, Bai Ke and his grandfather can only live in the guest house of the supply and marketing cooperative, which is not far from his home.

Because it is a guest house of their own unit, the conditions are quite good, the father and son live in a room, with a separate toilet, and simple bathing facilities.

In addition to the third aunt's family in the county, there are also relatives such as the fourth aunt and the fifth uncle.

In addition, Bai Ce has many colleagues, classmates and comrades-in-arms.

So, they stayed in the guest house for four days.

It wasn't until I visited all my relatives and friends that I set off for my real hometown - Baijiagou.

This is the place where the ancestors of the Bai family have cultivated for generations, and it is also the place where Bai Ce grew up.

The third aunt and the third aunt couldn't accompany Bai Ce and their husband back to their hometown because of their physical inconvenience, so they sent them to the station.

From the station, you can get on a bus to the countryside and travel all the way through the country roads.

Although there were some bumps, the green mountains and green waters outside the window made the master not feel tired at all.

Bai Zong also held a camera and took pictures of beautiful scenery from time to time.

An hour and a half later, the car stopped at a place called Ryoanchang, where the second uncle and his son had been waiting on the side of the road for a long time.

The appearance of the second uncle, no matter how many young people will recognize it.

This is mainly due to the fact that his teeth are special.

The upper and lower rows are protruding forward, and even the upper and lower lips cannot be closed.

Whenever Bai Ke and his brothers talked about the eye-catching appearance of the second uncle and laughed together, Bai Ce would say with a straight face that the second uncle was gnawing on sugar cane.

In fact, this has certain regional characteristics.

In the entire upper reaches of the Yangtze River, as well as the Pearl River Delta region, people with the appearance characteristics of the second uncle will appear from time to time, and most of them have relevant genes lurking here.

Baijiagou belongs to Long'an Township, and Long'an Field is the center of the township.

It's a bit like a small town, with shops lining the streets.

The buildings are all antique, and the shortest history is thirty or forty years.

The door panels and window panels that close the doors and windows are already sauce-colored.

Every Wednesday, there is a big set here.

Traders from towns and villages near and far sell their wares here.

Villagers from all villages in the township will also bring their families to the market.

Baijiagou should be the most remote place in Long'an Township.

Not to mention cars, even horse-drawn carriages can't get in.

Everything is carried on the back of the basket and on the shoulder.

Actually, the road is there, and it's not too rugged and steep, just a little narrow.

There is a place called Gooseneck Pass, and even a stronger cow can't walk through it.

Bai Ke thinks this is very good, and maintains the original feeling.

Unfortunately, a few years later, the road was widened, and large cars drove directly to the doorstep.

Smelly scenery like the gooseneck pass has disappeared.

After a few years, the state called for the return of farmland to forests, most of the people in Baijiagou moved out, the widened road lost its meaning, and the scenery that was blown up was difficult to recover.

So, the white customer enjoys the moment.

The father and son walked along the path with the second uncle and father and son, crossing the creek and climbing the steep stone ladder from time to time.

Along the way, without being reminded by Bai Ke, Bai Zong kept taking pictures.

After walking for about 40 minutes, I finally arrived at the gooseneck pass.

Bai Ke pulled his father, second uncle and cousin, and took several photos one after another.

This gooseneck pass is similar to a line of sky, there are boulders on both sides, and only a gap is left in the middle, which is a bit of a feeling that a husband and a wife can't open it.

Holding on to the boulder of the gooseneck pass, Bai Ke suddenly thought: In this life, he may be able to use his ability to try his best to keep these unique scenery without affecting his father and fellow villagers to be well-off.
