Chapter 462: Back to the Village
Ming Yanghong wanted to see Mingke in Hong Kong City, but Amy didn't rush to say it.
After the end of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone will be busy.
While Ming's mother and Mingke each went to visit relatives and friends, Amy and Grandma Wang decided to go back to Mao'er Village this year.
After so many years in Jiangcheng, they have not returned.
Amy knew that Grandma Wang wanted to go back to Xiaojun's grave to burn paper, wanted to go back to see the family's house, and even more wanted to meet the old guys in the village.
She is old, and the old guys in the village are also old, and if she doesn't see her again, maybe she won't see her again one day.
"Grandma, we will buy things in the county after getting off the train, so that we are not afraid of losing them with convenience, and then bring two sets of changing clothes and local products from Jiangcheng."
Grandma Wang was pressed aside by Amy to rest, happily watching her pack her luggage.
"Okay, good, good, all listen to you."
Because Amy still had to go to work, they couldn't stay too long back in Mao'er Village, only five days, and three days were wasted on the road.
Amy thought as she packed up her things that if Grandma Wang wanted to stay in the village for a few more days, then she would come back alone first, and then pick her up when Grandma Wang wanted to go back to Jiangcheng.
Anyway, Niuniu's winter vacation is very long, and she has enough time to accompany Grandma Wang, and she is not afraid to take care of her.
She and Niuniu talked about this idea in private, so Niuniu finished her winter vacation homework early, and she didn't have to worry about other problems at all, everything just depends on whether Grandma Wang likes it or not.
Most of the stuff was packed up in advance, so it was quick to prepare.
Early in the morning of the second day of junior high school, the three of them stepped on the train back to Mao'er Village with bags on their backs.
Jiangcheng has a train directly to the county seat in Mao'er Village, which is relatively convenient.
On the way, there was hot water prepared by Amy in advance and food that was convenient for eating in the car, and it was a soft sleeper that I bought, so I got a good night's sleep and didn't suffer much.
Standing in the train station of the county seat, Amy felt a lot.
When she left, the things at the train station were very simple, and they looked like they had been used for many years.
But now, the inside of the train station is much cleaner than before, and many of the signs have been renewed, which looks very eye-catching at a glance.
Amy found a guest house and opened the room for an hour for Grandma Wang and Niu Niu to rest.
"I'll go buy things and come back, is there anything special Grandma wants to buy?"
"No, just buy a little bit."
Grandma Wang said as she took the money out of her pocket and gave it to her.
Amy didn't refuse this money, because she knew that she would never refuse, but it would make Grandma Wang angry.
She took the money and went to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county to buy some sugar, fruit candy, cakes, and noodles.
Now ordinary people bring these things for New Year's greetings.
After buying these, Amy went to buy egg whites and malt cream, as well as a variety of other high-end and high-grade nutritional supplements, six servings each.
She returned to the guest house with a large bag and was beaten by Grandma Wang.
"Why did you buy those? And this protein is so valuable that not many people in the city are willing to buy it. ”
Although Grandma Wang is now one of the important shareholders of Millet, the dividends she can get every year are not a small amount, but thrift is a habit engraved in her bones.
In the years after the death of her son and daughter-in-law, she took her little granddaughter Niuniu alone, full and hungry, and it was really uncomfortable.
Therefore, now that there is no shortage of anything at home, and it is convenient to buy things in the city, Grandma Wang will often go to buy food and stay at home.
In the words of the old man, if you really have to encounter a famine year like before, no amount of money can be exchanged for a bag of food.
The old man likes it, Amy is up to her, anyway, there are many people in the family now, and they can eat anything fast.
"Grandma, you see, we haven't been back to the village for so many years, and we must go to many uncles, aunts, and grandfathers' houses. For the Chinese New Year, we can't go empty-handed. In the past, the village chief and several uncles and aunts helped our family, we didn't have that condition before, but now that we have the conditions, we must thank them. Didn't you always tell me that food was expensive at that time, and it was life-saving food that could not be exchanged for any amount of money, and the gifts I bought were lighter than the food given by the big guys at that time. ”
Amy coaxed Grandma Wang into the car.
Now the conditions in the county are also better, and there are buses to the vicinity of Mao'er Village at the railway station.
The three of them got into the car and rocked around for half an hour to the entrance of the stone village next door.
As soon as she got out of the car, Amy saw Wang Fangfang running from under the big tree at the entrance of the village.
"Sister Xiaomi."
She shouted loudly, still holding something in her hand.
"You're back for the New Year this year."
Wang Fangfang enrolled three years later than Elaine, and is still attending college in Jiangcheng.
"Well, I stayed in school for the past few years, but this year my parents said that they missed me and wanted to go to the school to find me, and I didn't worry that they would take the train so far so they came back. Here, this is the bacon specially prepared by my parents when I heard the head of your village say that they want to come back, all of which are baked by the New Year pig with pine and cypress branches, but it is fragrant, and it can't be bought outside. ”
Amy pushed it twice and didn't push it off, so she simply took it, and then took out a basket of eggs and two bags of white sugar from the bag she was carrying and stuffed them into Wang Fangfang's hands.
"Eh, senior sister, I can't ask for it, if it wasn't for you and Sister Ai Lian's help before, maybe I haven't been able to get justice now, you are my benefactor of recreation, how can I ask for your things?"
"Take it."
Amy didn't give her a chance to push things back.
"I originally thought that if you didn't come back this year, I would go to the school to see you, and since I met here, I would give you something directly, otherwise you would let me bring such a heavy thing back to Jiangcheng?"
When it came to this, it looked childish to push it around, so Wang Fangfang took it with a smile and put it in the hands of her parents who ran to the entrance of the village as soon as she heard that Amy was back.
"Mom and Dad, I'll help Sister Xiao carry her things back first."
"Okay, okay, do you want us to help?"
"No, no, no."
Amy did have a lot of things, mainly because she prepared more gifts, so she didn't refuse Wang Fangfang's help, but it would be too inappropriate to trouble her parents again.
Wang Fangfang's parents saw that Amy was in a hurry to return to the village, so they didn't continue to talk to her, telling her to come back to the house as a guest.
Amy answered, and walked with Wang Fangfang to carry the things to the village.
Each and every one of them is not particularly heavy, but together it is very heavy.
Amy felt that her hands hurt when she took two steps, and she couldn't help but put the matter of buying a car on the agenda.
"Sister Xiaomi, there is something I want to tell you, that Liu Jianfang has returned to Mao'er Village again."
"She? Is the village still willing to accept her? ”
Before Liu Jianfang pretended to be Wang Fangfang to study at Jiangcheng University, he transferred all the grain relations and household registration.
Later, it was revealed that all of her things should have been transferred to her family.
Of course the village doesn't want to, no one wants her to go back, thinking that her hands and feet are not clean and vicious, and she is afraid that she will harm other people in the village who still want to take the college entrance examination. But she didn't want to and had no choice, so she held her things by herself and relied on the educated youth in the village before and refused to leave, so she had to live there. If someone went to pull her, she would yell that they were touching her......"
Wang Fangfang blushed when she talked about these things.
She used to be good friends with Liu Jianfang, otherwise she wouldn't be so relieved to put all the certificates she needed to go to college to Liu Jianfang.
Now that she recognizes Liu Jianfang's true face, when she looks at Liu Jianfang again, she can't help but wonder if she was blind at the beginning, and she actually thinks that such a person is a good person.
"So is she farming in the village now?"
"How is it possible, the land in the village is divided among everyone, and there is no land for her at all. She lived there, hungry and went out to steal other people's vegetables and grain, and also stole other people's chickens to eat. The people in the village have caught her several times, but they can only scold her, can they really starve her to death? ”
Wang Fangfang, Amy, and Grandma Wang talked about the current situation in the village along the way, so that they were mentally prepared not to be frightened when they opened the door and saw Liu Jianfang, who was sleeping at Grandma Wang's house before.
It turned out that Liu Jianfang felt uncomfortable falling asleep, and saw that there was no one in Wang's grandmother's house, so he came here to live.
Now, Grandma Wang's house is full of her things, as if it has become her home.
Liu Jianfang didn't look scared at all, obviously used to it.
She was just stunned for half a second after seeing who was coming, and then continued to lie down and sleep.
It would have been a pleasure to go back to the village, but Amy didn't want to waste time with her, so she just put her things in her hand at the door and walked over to throw her things out of the window.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Amy didn't speak, and after throwing things, she directly restrained Liu Jianfang with a backhand and threw the person out.
"Don't jump in front of me, or it won't be as simple as throwing you out next time."
Liu Jianfang's act of breaking into Grandma Wang's house without permission was a real crime and should be locked up.
She had studied at Jiangcheng University for three years, and although she didn't put her mind on studying, she knew this, so she didn't dare to be tough with Amy, and ran away with something in her hands.
This one made a lot of noise, and many people in the village came to see the excitement, and for a while everyone knew that Amy was back.
"We knew from the village chief that you were coming back, so we asked Xiaojun in advance to get the key and come in to clean up. That Liu Jianfang just saw that the house was clean and comfortable, so he moved over directly. ”
Aunt Zhang'er was full of helplessness when she said this.
Liu Jianfang is now shameless and skinless to play scoundrels all day long, and everyone really can't do anything about her.
Now seeing her deflated at Amy's hands, everyone is very happy, and they feel that they have finally breathed a bad breath.
"It's really troublesome, big guys, come in and sit."
Amy led the people into the hall, and the aunt, who lived nearby, hurried to the house and brought a stool to sit down.
Originally, because it hadn't been inhabited for a long time, the house was a little deserted, and it was instantly full of popularity.
The villagers sat on the stools and were a little restrained.
Nothing else, just because although Amy and they have deliberately kept a low profile, the materials and styles of their clothes are very good and fashionable in the eyes of the villagers.
Especially Niuniu, who was looked down upon in the village before, has completely changed because she went to school and seen many big things in the world.
Generous, can talk, skin has also improved, and looks particularly watery.
"Old woman, are you still leaving when you come back this time?"
