Chapter 268: Returning is still a child
Da Hei walked slowly, and Village Chief Zhuo didn't urge him, and talked to the three children about what happened during this time while walking.
"Our village has enough grain and grass, and the livestock also have a place to live, so they will definitely be able to survive the winter safely, but I didn't expect that although there have been several winter defense meetings in the town, there are still people in other villages who don't take this seriously, and now some villages have run out of forage," Village Chief Zhuo shook his head, obviously very anxious.
"Now that the ground is frozen, and the winter nests can't be dug out, they have to urgently use straw mats to build sheds for the livestock to keep out the cold, which costs only forage, but it is really a mess to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall," said the village chief Zhuo, with a look of disgust in his eyes for those brother villages.
"These people are really! The emergency meeting above is to let everyone prevent winter storage, why can't they listen? To put it bluntly, it's the empiricism of the older generation," Chu Xingchen was also very emotional.
"So what now?" Zhuo Yan only felt a very headache, these villagers are really, no matter what, they just don't listen, now it's okay, there is no grass in the nest, there is no grass in the grass.
"The grass in the town has long been shining, and now Xilin Town is only an empty shell, nothing else," Village Chief Zhuo seemed to remember something interesting, with an excited look on his face, "But I just got a notice yesterday, saying that the upper side already knew about our situation, and was ready to airdrop a batch of supplies tonight, so that everyone can respond to emergencies!" ”
Airdrop materials, this is a last resort in extraordinary times, it is estimated that these leaders of Xilin Town have been making a lot of trouble for a period of time, which has attracted the attention of the above.
Because the airdrop materials need to be located, and they can be located with a bonfire at night, this time the night airdrop will be chosen.
Zhuo Yan and Chu Xingchen both knew what was going on, but Zhuo Han had never heard of this term, he was very excited, "What is an airdrop of materials?" Why are you airdropping supplies? ”
Village Chief Zhuo had never been on a plane either, so he also heard the explanation of the town leader vaguely, and when he heard his son ask him at this moment, he was embarrassed to say that he didn't know, so he had to say with a tiger face, "You can follow them to light a bonfire at night, and you will know when the time comes!" ”
At night, light a bonfire to collect supplies, this is a hard job, but Zhuo Han is stupid, he doesn't feel bitter, but feels that this is his father's care for himself, and hurriedly thanked his father for his kindness, thanking him for giving him this opportunity to do coolies.
Da Hei walked slowly, but his legs and feet were strong, and he never rested, but after half a day's work, he took the three of them back to the fine willow camp.
Now that Chu Xingchen's identity has passed the clear road, he can be regarded as the quasi-son-in-law of the Zhuo family, so he also got off the car at the Zhuo family together.
The helper Hei Si'er and Zhuo's mother had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when they saw the ox cart coming back, Hei Si'er greeted everyone shyly, so he unloaded the car and pulled the big black back to the nest.
Zhuo's mother saw the three children stretching out her hand to greet them, "Good children, you are back!" ”
Zhuo Han only felt a sour nose when he heard his mother say this, his time in the past half a year was not easy, he knew that studying was more tiring than herding cattle, and he said that he would not go to this university at all.
Seeing Zhuo Han stretch out his hand, Zhuo Mu didn't see it, she crossed him and grabbed Zhuo Yan's hand, "Zhuo Yan, you have lost weight...... Come into the house with Mom, Mom has made something delicious, make it up for you! ”
Zhuo Han's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't understand why Zhuo's mother was so eccentric, you must know that he has been away from home for three or four months, and Zhuo Yan has only been out for less than a month, and it is obvious that he is thinner, okay?
Chu Xingchen pulled the future eldest brother funny, "Come into the house, I can smell the meat!" ”
The inside of the house was very warm, the hot kang in several rooms was boiling, the big iron stove in the hall was also boiling, and the water in the large teapot on top was already boiling, and it was steaming incessantly.
The little boy Zhuo Qing was busy in the house, holding a large enamel basin on the table.
Zhuo Han was happy when he saw this younger brother, he reached out and pinched Zhuo Qing's face, "I said why didn't I see you, it turns out that you are giving everyone delicious food!" ”
Zhuo Qing had been herding sheep with his second brother before, and the two of them had a deep relationship, but at this moment, Zhuo Han pinched his face, and he didn't give up, and the two of them fought in the hall.
"Captain Chu is eating at my house, I have already told the people in the village department, let them take the key to your house and go to your house to make a fire, otherwise it will be too cold in the house," Village Chief Zhuo has already regarded Chu Xingchen as his son-in-law, but this title has not been changed, and it sounds a little awkward.
Chu Xingchen didn't mind, he knew very well that his father-in-law belonged to the kind of person who was not very good at expressing himself.
At this time, the wine and meat had already been served, and the men of the Zhuo family had never been so complete, no, there was still one less Zhuo Mu.
At the dinner table, Zhuo Yan and Zhuo Han took turns to talk about what they had seen and heard in Bei'an and the provincial capital, and the village chief Zhuo, Zhuo's mother and Zhuo Qing were dumbfounded, the three of them had never left Xilin Town, and when they heard their children's stories, they only felt that the outside world was novel, interesting and bizarre.
Zhuo Yan saw this in his eyes, but what he thought in his heart was that after a few years, the living conditions would be better, and he must take his family to take a walk around, even the Xiangjiang that Coach Luo has been boasting about, they can go.
The next thing to talk about the most is the airdrop of supplies.
"The materials are for the entire Xilin Town, but the airdrop site is the Ping'an Slope of our Xiliu Camp," Speaking of Ping'an Slope, Zhuo Village Chief is very proud, this place covers an area of dozens of acres and is flat and smooth, and there is not even a big stone, so it will be selected as the airdrop site by the leaders above.
"Tonight, I will take the militia from the village, as well as the young villagers, to light a bonfire and collect supplies," said Village Chief Zhuo, who straightened his back.
Now that he has come back, he has to take on the work, Chu Xingchen nodded, "I'll go with you!" ”
There was something to do in the evening, everyone consciously didn't drink much, and after the meal, Zhuo Qing and Zhuo Han helped Chu Xingchen with his luggage and sent him back to the small courtyard where he lived.
Zhuo Yan opened his luggage and took out the snacks inside, as well as the gifts he bought for the big guys.
Seeing that Chu Xingchen had already left, Zhuo's mother sat down next to her daughter and asked her thoughtfully, "Zhuo Yan, what is the situation in Captain Chu's house this time?" ”
Zhuo Yan smiled, "Just like what he said, his father is gone, but there are still a few old relatives at home, a few houses, and a few shops, and the conditions are still very good!" ”
Hearing her daughter say this, Zhuo's mother was very happy, but she was also a little worried that this man's conditions were so good, would he be single-minded to Zhuo Yan?
