Chapter Seventy-One: The Hetan Brigade
Long Dingwen walked a lot in the mountains, but he didn't see a pear tree in anyone's yard, he was very puzzled, why not go back to his hometown to have a look. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Speaking of moving to Mianshui and not returning to his hometown, alas....... My parents have long since died, my sister married in Yunnan, and my sister went to Yunnan with my sister, where she also got married and had children.
I don't know what happened to my hometown's house? There don't seem to be pear trees in the yard, but I wonder if there are any in the mountains?
I think of every time I enter the mountain after a child, I am surrounded by clouds and mist, it is late autumn, the scenery is too beautiful, and the maple leaves that are full of trees are refreshing.
There is lush vegetation and a naturally occurring waterfall, the Cloud Falls, with its sweet springs............. I remember when I was a child, I often went into the mountains to hunt walnuts, chestnuts, and by the way, wild honey.
I can't think about it, these alone arouse Long Dingwen's infinite nostalgia for his hometown, just go, go to the unit to ask the leader for two days off, plus one Sunday, three days is enough.
Didn't tell the children, he was afraid that his youngest son would hold his legs, this road is all on foot, the child will definitely not be able to, if it is not for the underdeveloped transportation, such a close hometown can go back every month, he is not Dayu, and he can't enter the house.
Huang Cailian prepared dry food for him, and also loaded a few sets of army clothes, ready to go home to send relatives, a bag of fruit candy, think about it, and take out two more from it, ready to coax her younger son for a while.
Long Dingwen put the military kettle on his back, and was just about to go out, Xiao Xie, the field staff member of the signal building, ran over with a sweat on his head, and saw that Long Dingwen did not leave, and held on to the door frame and gasped.
"Secretary Long, I finally caught up, fortunately you haven't left yet, we have a car to go to the county seat to run errands, so we parked under our signal building, and said hello to the driver, waiting for you, hurry! Secretary Long. āć
Xiao Xie took Long Dingwen through the culvert, the truck stopped at the mouth of the cave, and when he got into the car, the truck did not go according to the route he planned in his heart, and went down to the county seat along the Mianshui River in Zuo Village, and the driver heard that Long Dingwen was going to the Xingjie Commune not far from the county seat, and took it away.
Star Street Commune is full of gray tiles and black walls, the dirt road is silent, and it looks like a depressed scene, but Long Dingwen is in a good mood.
Today, we have saved half a day by car, and half of the distance of more than 50 kilometers has been saved, and now it is about 20 kilometers from the Xingjie Commune to the Ho Tan brigade, and it is estimated that it will take about six hours to arrive at the ..........
He didn't dare to delay the time, so he hurried to the afternoon, all the way to the north, the mountain road was rugged, Long Dingwen ate steamed buns and pickles, rested on the stones on the side of the road when he was tired, and drank a sip of water from the military pot when he was thirsty.
On the way, he also crossed the railway, and saw the slow train running for a short time, and the passengers stuck their heads out of the window.
"It's open to traffic", he can take the train from Mianshui Station to Xingjie Station or the next station, Duanba Station, get off the train and walk again, this time to figure out the shortcut home, and he will have to return often in the future..........
The three children have never come back to see it, and the child's fucking maiden home is not far from here, and they can all walk around in the future.
The more Long Dingwen thought about it, the more excited he became, the lighter his steps became, and he finally walked to the door of his courtyard at four o'clock in the afternoon.
The roof is the red grass in the mountains, and the farmers outside the mountain are very envious of this grass, which is stronger and more durable than straw............
At that time, it was raining heavily outside, light rain inside the house, and my father was not in good health, and he slept in a damp house, so he didn't even bother to go up into the mountains to cut the red grass.
In summer, the red hair grass grows vigorously is the time to harvest, it mainly grows on the hillside and the side of the stream, Long Dingwen was busy for three days to replace all the roofs, seeing the new roof, Long Dingwen's father nodded tremblingly, Long Dingwen also said that he would come back next time to renovate the house.
It's a pity that Long's father didn't wait for the house to be renovated and became seriously ill, and when Long Dingwen rushed back, he couldn't speak, he pointed to the old house to see his only son..........
The old man's face was sallow, his eyes were cloudy, and there were tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, Long Dingwen knelt in front of his father's bed and promised: Rebuild the old house and keep the old house.
Many years have passed in a blink of an eye, Long Dingwen walked into the courtyard, and the door of the old house opened with a "squeak", and a man in his thirties walked out.
"Big brother!" Long Dingwen stepped forward excitedly. The man raised his head and looked at it, first stunned, and then excitedly grabbed Long Dingwen's sleeve and looked at it again, still uncertain.
"Iron pillars? Is that you? Is it really you? ā
"Big brother, it's me, I'm back." Long Dingwen stood up straight and let Long Dingrong see.
"Ah, what an iron pillar, but it's back, ah, go, go, go home." It is impossible to say that he dragged Long Dingwen to the house not far from the next door.
Long Dingwen's father had two brothers, both died early, and the elders were left with the eldest aunt, and the eldest aunt gave birth to two brothers, and I heard my mother say that the eldest aunt gave birth to six children, but only two survived...........
The lobby brother Long Ding Rong is Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old today, and the second cousin Long Ding Hua is Chinese New Year's Eve five today.
What is gratifying to the eldest aunt is that the grandchildren are popular, not to mention Long Dingwen's three sons, their family alone has five grandchildren and two granddaughters.
In the house, the eldest aunt was in good spirits and made a small stool, rubbing two corns against each other, and the corn kernels fell to the big basket in an instant.
"Auntie, how are you doing?" Long Dingwen squatted beside his eldest aunt and shouted.
Mother Liu raised her head to look at Long Dingwen, first stunned for a moment, and then slapped Long Dingwen's shoulder and said loudly.
"The iron pillar is back, quick, the eldest daughter-in-law is going to boil the water." She is hard of hearing, and she is afraid that others will not be able to hear, and she is always an octave higher.
Looking at the nephews and nieces who were chattering in a room, Long Dingwen was very happy, and he touched the youngest girl and asked her.
"What's your name? Whose girl doll is it? ā
When he finally left, his second cousin was not married, they belong to the mountainous area, and they are people in the mountains to say that it is difficult to say, not to mention the difficult conditions, and the daughter-in-law is not easy to marry.
Brother Lobby is four years older than him, his first son Long Jianwu is the same age as Long Jianjun, and his second cousin didn't get married until he was in his thirties.
The little girl inherited the face of the Chinese character of the Long family, wearing mending clothes but very clean, the little girl was shy and did not speak, bowed her head and drilled into her mother's arms, holding a fruit candy in her hand and not knowing how to tear the candy paper.
Long Dingwen sighed, squatted down to help her open the candy wrapper, and put the candy in her mouth, and the second cousin Long Dinghua next to him spoke.
"Tiezhu, you haven't been back for a long time, I wasn't married when I left, come, Yulan, this is my father's cousin."
