Chapter 103: Rich or not, go home for the New Year
In the haze, he heard a few rooster crows, and Ning Zhichu woke up in a daze. www.biquge.info This is the third day that he has returned from Haidu, and in the past few days, Ning Zhichu has not only helped clean the house every day, but also occasionally followed his parents to work in the fields.
It's just that winter is approaching, and there is nothing too heavy to do, and Ning's father and mother are very doting on Ning Zhichu, even if there is farm work, they will pick some very easy for Ning Zhichu to do.
Looking out the window, Ning Zhichu found that it was still a hazy scene, but he couldn't tell what time it was. Although there was a wall clock in the living room to watch the time, Ning Zhichu was afraid of the cold, and he was still a little tired at this time, so he continued to close his eyes and continued to cover his head and fall asleep.
The days leading up to the Chinese New Year are getting colder and colder day by day. The sun was running out of strength, and it was late to noon every day. But no one would expect solar energy for a few more days, because it's slowly starting to rain. It was rainy every day, and although the rain was not heavy, it was quite irritating.
Today's morning was unusually cold, Ning Zhichu lay down for a while, but he couldn't sleep anymore, and he was shivering a little from the cold. The quilt he covered was quite heavy, and it was the most commonly used wedding quilt in the countryside in the 80s and 90s, which was very warm. But today, it's very cold.
Looking out the window, it was still gloomy, and if you calmed down, you could clearly hear the sound of a howling cold wind crashing on the window, with the sound of raindrops crackling and splashing on the tiles. The room was as if it had just fallen into the night, and it was blurry that it was impossible to distinguish clearly.
After thinking about it, Ning Zhichu couldn't sleep anymore, anyway, it was better to get up if it was so cold. So Ning Zhichu turned on the light, got up to change his clothes, and was ready to get up.
After getting out of bed, Ning Zhichu got dressed as quickly as he could. Despite this, Ning Zhichu was still shivered by the cold several times, and it was not until he put on his winter coat that he got a little better.
After getting dressed, Ning Zhichu walked out of the room and walked to the living room. Looking at the clock clock in the living room, I realized that the hour hand was already pointing to eight o'clock, and the minute hand was almost a quarter of an hour.
"Hey, it's past eight o'clock? Why is it still so dark? ”
Ning Zhichu, who was muttering in his heart, opened the door of the living room, and it was obvious that the patio was already filled with a pool of water because it had no time to drain the water. The sky above was overcast and seemed to be covered in layers of black mist. Raindrops like cow hair poured down, and from time to time there was a gust of wind blowing the branches and leaves of several longan trees and acacia trees outside the door, making them rustle.
A cold wind hit, Ning Zhichu couldn't help it, and shivered.
"Brother, are you up? Come and have breakfast, or it'll be cold. ”
At this time, I heard the sound of the living room door being opened, and I would rather rub my eyes and walk out. As soon as he saw Ning Zhichu, he urged Ning Zhichu to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then eat breakfast.
Ning Zhichu looked back, helped Ning Ke tidy up his somewhat crumpled clothes, and asked, "What about your parents?" ”
Ning shook his head and yawned, "Dad and Mom got up in the morning and went out, as if they were going to pick up relatives?" I had just woken up, and I was so dazed that I didn't pay attention to hearing clearly. ”
"Pick up relatives?" Ning Zhichu muttered, picked up the toothbrush and toothpaste, took a glass of water, muttered, and then began to wash.
"yes, who wants to come back in this kind of ghost weather? It hurts our parents to go out when it rains. Ning Ke seemed to be very dissatisfied with this, echoed Ning Zhichu's words, and complained.
Ning Zhichu did not reply to Ning Ke's words, but instead remembered the Spring Festival from Ning Ke's words. Now it is getting closer and closer to the Chinese New Year's Eve, and those who go out to struggle are like swallows returning home, rushing back to their hometowns at this point in time.
As a result, the crowd of people crowded together at the train station, bus station, and airport are like a tribe of ants. I looked at the past, but I couldn't see any other unrelated scenery except for human heads. If someone is a little more confused, it will be difficult to tell the direction and location of the car.
People who have an advantage in height and size are relatively good. Those little girls and thin women can only use their breastfeeding strength in the crowd to desperately squeeze out a place for themselves.
Everyone wants to go home, but they hate it. This is the voice of many people, regardless of whether they have made money in a year away from home. But just because there is a smell of home thousands of miles away, those people will go to great lengths to go home.
Because there are children, parents, and relatives at home thousands of miles away, sometimes they don't see each other in a year, and sometimes they can only see each other once in two or three years. In this festival of reunion, spending time with their loved ones, or chatting about neighborhood gossip, or eating melon seeds and watching TV, is the only reason for them to go home for a year.
No matter how hard it was in the process of going home, how hard it was, they wanted to go home. Because at this time, going home is no longer a person's wish, but the expectation of the parents of the children in the family, so there will be an ant-like spring festival on this land.
There was once a song called "Rich or Not Rich, Go Home for the New Year", which sang to the hearts of many people. Parents don't expect their children to earn much money to go home, they just want to be happy and happy with their families on the most important day of the year, and that's enough.
Many young people who go out don't understand, and they think that when they go home, they have to bring a lot of money back to show off, so that their parents can have face in the village, but they don't know that no matter whether they make money or not, as long as they go home for reunion, it is the greatest filial piety to their parents.
Ning Zhichu rarely went home during his school days. The main reason is that the schoolwork is too heavy, and there are basically no weekends. In addition, the current traffic is not convenient, Xinpu County has not been able to reach the bus of Xinning District, this will not be until 2008 when the reform of Xinyang Public Transport Group will have.
Therefore, Ning Zhichu did not go home at all in the first semester of his first year of high school, and even stayed at school during the 7-day National Day holiday to catch up with the manuscript of "Buddha is the Way". Thinking of this, Ning Zhichu was a little ashamed.
After a few or three simple strokes, Ning Zhichu finished breakfast, and when he was bored, he turned on the TV and watched the TV program. Originally, she would rather read a book in her own room and listen to the sound of TV in the back, but she couldn't resist the desire in her heart, and ran out to watch a variety show.
Although the show at this time is not good at all, but now, the best way to pass the time is to watch a TV show, is it difficult to go out in the rain?
At 11 o'clock in the morning, Ning's father and Ning's mother hadn't come back yet, so Ning Zhichu called them on his mobile phone, and learned that because the rain was too heavy, they would have lunch at Huang Zhongsheng's house at noon, and then go home when the rain was light in the afternoon, so that Ning Zhichu and Ning Ke could solve their lunch by themselves.
Ning Zhichu, who put down the phone, looked at Ning Ke, who was concentrating on TV, shook his head, and went to the kitchen to prepare his and his sister's lunch.
