Chapter 1 Return to the Garden
Early April, Donglai City.
"Crunch ......"
An old bus on the mountain road slowly stopped at the entrance of the village, and a young man of medium height and dark skin of about twenty-five or sixteen years old walked out of the car, carrying a large bag in his hand, which was bulging, as if he had just moved back.
As soon as the young man's feet hit the ground, the old bus started to move again, and the dust from the back of the car rushed towards him, and he couldn't help coughing lightly.
Liu Bufan is a native of Yiyi Village, after three years of unremitting efforts in high school, he was admitted to a famous agricultural university in Yanjing City. I still remember the day the notice was sent to my home, when Liu Bufan's father Liu Dewang went out every day, no matter where he went, he always carried the red university admission notice with him, and then took it back intentionally or unintentionally to show off, which really made the villagers in the same village envious, and Liu Bufan became what people called "someone else's child".
Liu Bufan stopped, closed his eyes gently, first took a deep breath, the air was mixed with the fragrance of wild flowers, and listened attentively, countless birds chirped non-stop, as if singing a beautiful song.
For Liu Bufan, who has been away from home for a long time, the hustle and bustle of the city does not give him a sense of belonging, and the leisurely and quiet countryside is a beautiful destination for his soul.
Liu Bufan's home is in the innermost part of the village, not far from the hill behind the village.
It was a fairly large courtyard, with houses made of bricks and stone slabs on three sides, and the main house was the north house, where his parents lived, and he himself had lived in the west house since he could remember, and the east house kept some daily miscellaneous items.
Liu Bufan's father was very hardworking, cultivated part of the yard into a vegetable garden, and raised a few chickens and ducks, and in the summer, the whole yard was full of vitality.
"Dad, I'm back!" Liu Bufan stood at the door of his house and shouted excitedly to a middle-aged man who was busy in the yard with gray temples.
When Liu Dewang heard someone calling him, he immediately stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Xiaofan, you ...... Why are you back?"
It has only been more than two months after the Spring Festival holiday, and there is still some time before the May Day holiday, and my son's return this time is really abrupt.
"Is it Xiaofan?"
Without waiting for Liu Bufan to answer, a middle-aged woman's voice came from the room, it was Liu Bufan's mother Wang Guixiang.
"Mom, it's me!" Liu Bufan agreed, and hurriedly carried a big bag into the house.
Because her son was not around, the moment Wang Guixiang saw her son come in, her longing swelled up, and she couldn't shed tears.
"Mom, are you feeling better?" Liu Bufan walked quickly to the bed and said to his mother lying on the bed with great concern.
Just some time ago, when Liu Bufan was calling home, he learned that his mother was sick due to overwork and fell ill while doing farm work.
"Well, it's much better, seeing you come back, my illness is half healed!" Wang Guixiang showed a long-lost smile on her face, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked behind Liu Bufan, "What about Dandan?
Liu Bufan's face immediately showed embarrassment, and he said, "We...... Broke up. ”
On the day Liu Bufan resigned, he told his girlfriend about the idea of going back to the countryside, and the girlfriend finally broke up on the grounds that he wanted to develop in a big city.
Although Liu Bufan was very reluctant, he was not reluctant, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, and he didn't want to drag others back to the countryside with him, so he nodded and agreed, and immediately bought a train ticket for the next day and rushed back.
"What!?Broke up!" Wang Guixiang couldn't believe her ears, she was very surprised, "Isn't it okay during the Spring Festival? Why did you break up suddenly, such a good girl, why don't you know how to cherish it, a family like ours can marry a good daughter-in-law like Dandan, it can be said to be a blessing from God." ”
"This should be fate. Liu Bufan shook his head and said helplessly.
Wang Guixiang also sighed for a while, and said: "Just now I discussed with your father to contract out our family's few acres of mountainous land, in exchange for the rent plus a little savings from the family, pay you a down payment, buy a house in the suburbs of Yanjing, I hope you and Dandan will get married as soon as possible." ”
"Mom, I resigned, and I will develop in my hometown in the future, and I won't go back to Yanjing. Liu Bufan hurriedly said.
"What! resigned!" Liu Dewang, who was working in the yard, said loudly and angrily, and rushed into the house in three steps and two steps, "Your mother and I worked hard to confess that you are such a college student, you are not good at working in Yanjing, and you actually resigned and came home without saying a word, do you want to make me and your mother angry to death!"
"Old man, what are you anxious about, listening to the child's words, he must have his own thoughts. Wang Guixiang hurriedly persuaded.
"Dad, Mom, I want to farm! I want to apply what I have learned in college to practice and build my hometown!" Liu Bufan said very firmly.
"Now that the state has policy support for the development of rural areas, I believe that through hard work, in a few years, there will be earth-shaking changes here, and our lives will not be worse than those in the city." ”
After hearing what Liu Bufan said, Liu Dewang's anger in his heart was even greater, and he said: "What? Farming? Your mother and I are tired of working hard for you to go to college, and in the end you have to come back to farm, I don't agree to this! Tomorrow you will buy a ticket and hurry back to work, otherwise don't blame me for not recognizing your son!"
After Liu Dewang finished speaking, he slammed the door and walked out.
Liu Dewang's reaction was expected by Liu Bufan. Father's temper is very stubborn, and the nine cows that decide can't pull it back, and he completely inherited this.
"Xiaofan, don't be afraid, since you have decided, your mother will support you! If you don't succeed, you can go back to Yanjing to work. Wang Guixiang cheered up her son, but the sentence added later can be heard that she is not 100% optimistic about this matter.
"Thank you, Mom! My son won't let you down. "From childhood to adulthood, my mother is on my side in everything, and Liu Bufan feels very pleased.
In the evening, Liu Bufan personally cooked a few side dishes, when he was in Yanjing, although he lived with Li Xiaodan, he usually cooked, so his cooking skills were not bad.
After Liu Bufan cooked the meal, after the dishes and chopsticks were placed, he beckoned Liu Dewang to eat together, at this time Liu Dewang was sitting in the courtyard smoking a smoky cigarette, and there was no response for a long time, he knew that his father's anger had not disappeared, so he gave up.
Liu Bufan and his mother finished dinner, everything was cleaned up, and he lay on the big bed in his room thinking about things.
Suddenly hearing a rustling sound from the kitchen, Liu Bufan knew that his father must have been hungry and secretly went to the kitchen to find food, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Liu Bufan had just come back, he couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning on the bed, he sat up and took out his domestic smartphone from the pocket of his clothes at the head of the bed, opened the Internet, and hundreds of unread messages popped up in his WeChat classmates.
Although the city where the village is located is relatively backward, the communication network is still okay, after all, it is the prime minister who personally supervises the matter, and the operators dare not slack off.
07 WeChat group of the Department of Agronomy of Huaxia Agricultural University.
"I just changed jobs, and my salary has risen a lot, so Kaisen!"
"Congratulations! Big head, develop well, remember to take me to pretend to be forced and take me to fly when the time comes!"
"No problem!"
"I've just traveled around Europe, I'm so tired!"
"Black Bull, you are showing off your hatred in the group again, the next class reunion, I have to give you a good ride!"
"Haha! I don't have it, I just express my feelings, but it's okay to have a treat, just be happy!"
At this time, someone in the group posted a picture of a black Volkswagen Suteng.
"How's it going to look at my new car?
"Praying mantis, you kid is a good mix, you have bought a car. ”
"The company's borrowed to open for a few days. ”
“……”
Immediately, there was a scolding in the group.
Seeing that the group of classmates was so lively, Liu Bufan smiled. Regardless of his family background or his former salary, he could not compare with these classmates, but he knew that his new life had just begun.
