Chapter 119: That Little Mountain Village
The train runs on the North China Plain, and both sides are basically covered with snow, and it is rare to see green, giving people a feeling of vastness.
After chatting for a while, a few people started to "run fast", which is more time-killing and will not be so boring.
Several people have not yet entered the society, their thoughts are still relatively simple, and everyone talks quite freely.
After nearly a day and a night of contact, Jiang Hui generally understood the situation of the flash rain. Speaking of which, his doctoral dissertation was about the processing of databases, and Jiang Hui was in need of talents in this area. Whether it is an intranet or a glorious game, with the expansion of scale, more and more data needs to be processed, and how to improve data processing and analysis capabilities becomes more and more important.
It seems that after the Spring Festival, we will have to find an opportunity to contact him to see if we can pull him on the boat, even if he has concerns now, it is not a bad thing to contact him first.
The train soon entered the territory of Lingnan Province, and there were more turns and tunnels. Several people left each other's phones, and Jiang Hui was the first to get out of the car. After the train arrived at Chuanlong Station, Jiang Hui packed up his things, said goodbye to everyone, and got off the train.
There are a lot of cars from Chuanlong Railway Station to Meishi, and the railway station square is full of drivers soliciting customers and aunts holding signs shouting for accommodation, Jiang Hui went directly to the bus stop outside the railway station and got on a small van to Meishi.
The smaller the place, the more chaotic the transportation industry becomes, and if you want to find a regular passenger bus, you have to go to the bus station, but the planning department will not consider the need to change trains when building railway stations and bus stations, and it is a complete mess.
After speeding up the highway for an hour, the van arrived outside the Wuxian station where Jiang Hui was located. Jiang Hui took his luggage to the station again and took the shuttle bus from the county to the town. Jiang Hui used to take this bus when he was in high school.
Wu County didn't see much change in the past six months, Jiang Hui sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside.
Scattered houses are scattered along the road, telephone poles stand alone in the fields, and the occasional cattle forage for food on the edge of the fields.
After walking a provincial road, the car turned into a country road next to it, and could only barely pass two cars, and when the car was met, it had to be slowed down, otherwise it would accidentally get it. Fortunately, in 2004, there were not many cars in the countryside, and most families were still riding motorcycles. If it takes more than ten years, every Spring Festival, small towns and villages will also have a big traffic jam.
The car finally arrived in the town, and this is not the end, there are still several kilometers of road from the town to Jianghui's village, and you have to call a motorcycle to get home.
After several tosses, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Hui finally entered the village.
At Jiang Hui's signal, the motorcycle driver stopped on the village road a few hundred meters away from Jiang Hui's house, and Jiang Hui walked home with his suitcase after paying.
On the way, he greeted the uncles and brothers he knew, and within a few minutes, Jiang Hui arrived home.
Yellow mud houses, white walls, green bricks and green tiles, with the large pond next to it and the flowers and fruit trees in the yard, should be a good vacation place in the eyes of urban people, but in the eyes of rural people, they still want to live in a small western-style building with reinforced concrete structure.
Jiang Hui pushed open the gate of the yard, his mother was clearing the weeds in the yard, and when she saw Jiang Hui coming back, she smiled and asked Jiang Hui if he was hungry and what he wanted to eat.
Jiang Hui's parents also just came back from Wuyang City two days ago, and the first person in the family to come back was his sister Jiang Ping, who was in her second year of high school.
When he was in the imperial capital, Bai Xue had already helped Jiang Hui prepare things to go home. In addition to some food, Bai Xue also bought Jiang Ping a Seiko women's watch, and Jiang Hui's parents each bought a set of thermal underwear. Of course, now Jiang Hui has no choice but to say that he bought it himself, and he will tell his family about himself and Bai Xue later. After all, the recognition of things like falling in love in freshman years is not very high in the countryside.
"Mom, where did Dad and Jiang Ping go?", Jiang Hui asked.
"Jiang Ping went to play with her classmates, and your father seems to have gone to grandma's house," Jiang Hui's mother, Jiang Yinglian, said.
Jiang Hui's mother was married from the next village, and her surname was Jiang. It takes about twenty minutes to walk from Jiang Hui's house to his grandmother's house. When he was a child, his family was busy farming, and Jiang Hui was often sent to his grandparents to help watch. Jiang Hui's grandparents were busy watching the children for Jiang Hui's uncle and second uncle, and they couldn't be busy. In addition, Jiang Hui's father is neither the boss nor the eldest, so his grandparents will naturally pay relatively little attention to him.
Jiang Hui's father has seven brothers and sisters, uncle, second uncle, aunt, fifth uncle, sixth uncle and sister-in-law. Uncle was a soldier in his early years and is now the secretary of the village branch. The second uncle is a person who has been working as a farmer at home and is honest. The eldest aunt married into the town, and the conditions of the uncle's family are okay. Jiang's father and father ranked fourth. The fifth uncle loves tossing and has done a lot of small businesses, but he is only at the level of supporting his family. The sixth uncle is the most Chinese among the brothers, and after graduating from junior college, he worked in a machinery factory in Wuyang City. The little aunt married into the county seat, which can be regarded as breaking away from the countryside.
The brothers live not far away, the nearest second uncle's house is less than 100 meters away, and the grandparents and the fifth uncle live together, and it is only ten minutes away from the walk. In the countryside, many brothers are not easy to be bullied, and the uncle is the village party secretary, so Jiang Hui's big family is okay in the village.
"There are so many people on the train, and there is a mess of smells, so I'll go take a shower first, and then I'll go see my grandparents," Jiang Hui said to his mother.
"Go ahead, I'll cook you a bowl of meat noodles, and it's just ready to eat after washing," Jiang Hui's mother, Jiang Yinglian, said.
After taking a shower, I feel much refreshed, and the tiredness of the car is swept away. Jiang Hui called Bai Xue and He Ling respectively to report their safety, in fact, there were constant text messages along the way, and they generally knew where Jiang Hui was.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Hui quickly finished eating the New Year, and then took out some food prepared in advance from the suitcase, planning to go to his grandparents' house to have a look.
Grandpa is seventy-one years old, and grandma is sixty-eight, but fortunately, they are still healthy. The two old men were very happy to see Jiang Hui coming to visit them, and asked Jiang Hui if he was used to the life of the imperial capital, not to save too much money, to eat more and so on.
Jiang Hui's father Jiang Shan was also at his grandparents' place, and after visiting the two old people, the father and son went home together, meeting acquaintances from time to time on the road, stopping to greet for a while from time to time, and it was five o'clock when they got home.
My sister Jiang Ping has also returned, and she is very happy to see the watch Jiang Hui gave her.
Life in the countryside is uneventful, and there are no major events to write about, but after staying in the big city for a long time, it's good to switch once in a while.
