Chapter 43: Homecoming

A few days ago, Li Liang accompanied his sister to Wangkelai Restaurant, and on the way back at night, his sister kept smiling, and she didn't say anything when she asked her what she was laughing at, Li Liang was a little puzzled, but soon left it behind. That day, he took the time to draw up a lease agreement for Chen Chunhua, solicited the opinions of Chen Chunhua and others, and everyone felt that there was no problem before finalizing the draft, and then copied 20 blank agreements for later use.

In the next few days, he caught Wang Chao's strong work, and the two of them printed the test papers he compiled some time ago, and he found a remote corner in the school's mimeographing room to put the printed materials, and handed them over to the head teacher Wang Na after the start of school, even if the task was completed.

This time was the hottest time in the summer vacation, and the two teenagers were stuffy in the mimeograph room all day, and the clothes on their bodies were wet and dry, dry and wet. His mother Wang Xiujuan saw it and was very distressed, so she bought an old hen during the holiday in the factory today and stewed it for Li Haohao to make up for it.

Wang Xiujuan took a chicken leg and handed it to Li Liang, saying, "Son, eat this chicken leg quickly!"

Li Liang took the bowl and dodged it: "I have already eaten one, this one is reserved for my sister to eat at night!"

Wang Xiujuan saw that her son didn't want it, put the chicken legs back in the soup bowl, and said with relief: "My good son, you used to stew chicken at home, and the chicken legs were all eaten by you, and you know how to be humble." ”

The noon time is short, and Li Meng usually eats in the small canteen of the hospital. Li Liang sandwiched a piece of chicken, and the meat was delicate and chewy in his mouth, which was very delicious.

Li Liang's father, Li Shuangzhu, was dealing with the chicken butt, and he smiled and said, "Son, do you want Dad to give you this chicken butt to eat!"

Forget it, Li Liang has never been indifferent to this delicacy. In fact, when his mother cleaned up the chickens just now, Li Liang asked his mother to cut off the chicken butt and throw it away, but Wang Xiujuan was not willing to give it away, in this era of poor materials, even the chicken butt people were reluctant to lose it.

"By the way, son, yesterday your grandparents asked the people from the village to go to the city to talk, and they missed you. You're done busy these days, go back and see your grandparents!" Li Shuangzhu said.

Li Liang's parents are both from the countryside, and their families are from the same township. After the two of them graduated from junior high school, they were just in time to set up a textile factory in the county to recruit a group of workers with a certain education, and Li Liang's parents were both admitted to work in the textile factory.

Li Liang's grandfather went to a private school for a few years before liberation, and he was a little educated, while farming, he opened a family in the village and accepted a few students to maintain the family. After the liberation, a primary school was built in the village, and he became a substitute teacher, and now retired, Li Liang's father, Li Shuangzhu, is his eldest son. Li Liang also has two uncles, the eldest uncle Li Shuangqi is farming in the countryside, and the younger uncle Li Shuangqi was admitted to Yixian University in Yangcheng last year and is the top student in the family. As the saying goes, the lifeblood of the old son, the eldest grandson, and the old lady, Li Liang was brought up by his grandparents when he was a child, and he didn't go back to the county to study until he went to elementary school, he was only 5 years younger than Li Shuangyuan, and his little uncle has been very close since he was a child.

Speaking of which, Li Liang's grandfather is a very interesting person, and he named his three sons with the same pronunciation "zhu". Li Liang has heard his uncle Li Shuangcheng complain more than once, and the people in the village can't tell the three zhu, so they have to divide them into big zhu, second zhu, and small zhu, and the uncle said that he has been embarrassed for many years with such an ugly name. In fact, Li Liang wanted to laugh secretly when he heard his uncle complain for the first time.

"Dad, is Uncle coming back for the summer vacation?" Li Liang asked, he vaguely remembered that Uncle didn't come back during the summer vacation in his previous life.

"No, I called him on the factory phone a few days ago, and he said that he was going to go to Pengcheng with his classmates during the summer vacation, and he might find a temporary job there!" Li Shuangzhu said.

Li Liang's uncle is a person who has both ideas and skills, and the story about him will be told slowly later.

"I miss my grandparents too!" Li Liang said, looked at his mother again, and added, "I also miss my grandparents!"

"Even if you have a conscience, your grandparents didn't hurt you in vain!" Wang Xiujuan said.

Wang Xiujuan's maiden home is in the village next door to Li Shuangzhu's house, very close to each other, and Li Liang stays on both sides for a period of time every time he goes back!

The next day happened to be August 1st, and early in the morning, Wang Xiujuan went to the meat store to cut two pieces of pork, and pulled a few feet of Xia Liang cloth with the cloth ticket exchanged with others, wrapped it separately and put it in a basket.

"Son, do you remember how to go to your grandmother's house?" Wang Xiujuan asked Li Liang who was eating breakfast with a smile.

"Of course I remember, and I won't forget it if I turn to ashes!" Li Liang joked.

"You kid!" Wang Xiujuan scolded with a smile, took out another 45 yuan from the house, and handed it to Li Liang, "Son, you can take this money, these 5 yuan are your fare and pocket money, and the other 40 yuan will be 20 yuan for your grandfather's family and 20 for your grandfather's family." I've already divided the meat and cloth in the basket into two parts, and when you get to your grandfather's house, remember to send it to your grandmother's house as soon as you get there, it's hot, and it's easy to spoil!"

Wang Xiujuan and her family are very good to their families in the countryside, and they have to save part of their small income to subsidize them.

"Okay, I'll send it over when I get to my grandfather's house!" Li Liang replied.

"You have to divide the 45 yuan, and you should pay attention to thieves in the car!" Wang Xiujuan advised.

In the past two years, the social security situation has gradually deteriorated, petty theft has begun to emerge, and there are even some road bandits and car bullies, who specialize in robbing passing drivers in remote places.

The passenger bus station is on the west side of the county seat, and every time you go to Wangkelai, you will pass there. After eating breakfast, Li Liang walked to the station with a basket, this station in Hek County is not big, and there are only eight cars going back and forth to more than ten towns and villages in the county every day. Li Liang's grandfather's house is located in the township of early residence, with a permanent population of about 30,000 people, and when he takes the bus, he usually gets on the bus to buy a ticket, Li Liang enters the gate of the station, and the wall at the gate is painted with a red slogan of "Salute to the military comrades". The station was very dirty, and many farmers who took the bus into the city walked by with chickens and ducks, leaving strings of feces and urine. The road surface of the station is also potholed, coupled with the shouting of hawkers selling eggs, melon seeds, and peanuts, the cries of children, and the shouts of conductors, forming a life atmosphere rich in the characteristics of the times!

Found the bus to Zaozhu Township, Yutian Township, Li Liang got on the bus, at this time there were already a lot of people sitting on the car, he found a back seat and sat down, waited for about 20 minutes, waiting for the seat to be full of people, even the middle aisle was crowded with people, a conductor with a ticket holder in his hand was late. Li Liang bought a ticket for five cents, and waited for about ten minutes before the car started slowly.

Li Liang sat in the aisle, and next to Li Liang sat by the window was a girl in a blue dress, her face was very good-looking, a bit like an actress in later generations, who was closing her eyes and recuperating. The car left the county seat and drove in the direction of Zaozhu Township, the road became more and more rotten, the car was bumpy and swaying all the way.
