Chapter 42 The homeland is hard to leave
After the heavy rain, the paddy fields float in the sunset, and the green rice is surrounded by a layer of clean mist, and the soft breeze blows lightly, and the mist spreads like a cicada wing, and the streamers float to the mountains in the distance, followed by the low thin clouds in the sky. The evening air in the mountains is unusually fresh, and the breeze blows through, and bursts of water penetrate people's hearts and spleens, and they are instantly refreshed. The sound of insects and frogs in the mountains began to stir up in advance. Wang En and the others got out of the car at the entrance of Maiping Village, and the two walked towards the village. He Yun originally planned to go to his aunt's house in Houtun in the village, and when he met Wang En, he naturally had to talk to each other about his heart. He Yun called his aunt in Houtun and said that he would play at Wang En's house for a few days and go back. The two of them couldn't hide their hearts, and they couldn't hide their hearts, and they got carried away with their whistles, accompanied by the symphony that had just been played in the mountains, and walked on the path home.
He Yun looked left and right to observe the changes in his hometown that he had not seen for many years but was always haunted by his dreams, the sheep intestine path into the village has changed from the original rainy muddy muddy and sunny mud road to today's clean and hard cement road, the sparse electric poles on both sides of the road have been installed in the evening with dim light with lampshade street lamps, mosquitoes flying in the looming lights, not satisfied with the light rushing to the heat, a few beetles knocked down the lampshade and made a crisp and loud impact sound, some were hit in a daze, and some fell directly to the ground. The sunset and mountain shadows reflected in the paddy fields echo the mountains on the horizon and the sky with artistic clouds at will.
He Yun kept asking Wang En about the various changes in his hometown over the years, and Wang En also took the trouble to answer He Yun's questions, talking and laughing and unconsciously arrived at the head of the village, and there was no one sitting under the big banyan tree covered with red cloth strips at this time, the canopy almost covered the sky, and the shadow of the tree had already covered the last trace of sunshine. People are eating dinner at home at this time, and the evening in the village with a hint of coolness after the heavy rain is the quietest, and the intentional crescent moon has long disappeared with the flowing clouds, and the dragon gate array that was originally accustomed under the banyan tree has been canceled today.
Back at home, Ni Fengxia had already fiddled with the fried vegetables on the table, Wang Xinghai was in the courtyard by the faint light to drum the ploughshares that had been idle after the end of spring ploughing, He Yun called "uncle" to Wang Xinghai in the yard, Wang Xinghai hummed a nasal voice with mud and water, and the unclear facial expression had already revealed his brows tightly through his extremely impatient tone.
Ni Fengxia came out of the kitchen at the back of the hall, holding a soup bowl full of vegetarian melon beans with one hand, and the other hand lost no time in rubbing back and forth on the apron in front of her, He Yun saw Ni Fengxia and called "Uncle", Ni Fengxia looked at He Yun who no one came out in front of her, and didn't know how to respond to his greetings, when she hadn't put the soup bowl on the table, Wang En said to Ni Fengxia, "Mom, this is He Yun, no one even came out of you, I didn't recognize it at first." Ni Fengxia still couldn't react, grinned the corner of her mouth and said, "Oh! Let's sit down and eat! Wang En saw that Ni Fengxia was still confused, and hurriedly added, "It's the little linen cloth of Shihoutun." "Oh! It turned out to be a small sack! I've been thinking about it all along! We don't have such a spirited guy in our village! I haven't seen this young man anymore, I used to be as thin as a dry man, but now I look oily and slippery, so how can I recognize it. He Yun laughed when he heard Ni Fengxia's words, and Wang En also smiled and said, "Mom, you don't know that rats are oily and slippery when they fall into the water." Ni Fengxia shouted Wang En, "Go, nonsense." Immediately afterwards, Ni Fengxia and Zhang Luo Heyun sat down and shouted into the courtyard, "Old thing, don't come to burst your stomach yet!" I'm going to take your seat slowly, right? ”
Wang Xinghai walked to the house in a gown, his hands kept wiping the trouser legs on both sides, this unique way of washing hands is common in the countryside, Wang Xinghai, who was full of sadness, obviously did not get rid of the plow of the falcon, and when he saw He Yun, he was also at a loss, and asked He Yun again for a reason.
During the banquet, they were asking where He Yun's family had been all these years? When He Yun was in the second year of junior high school, his father He Xiaoliu said that it was not a way to just farm in the village, and in order to pay off the thousands of yuan loan borrowed by He Yun's mother before her illness, He Xiaoliu took a family of four out to work. He Xiaoliu, who originally wanted He Yun to finish the third year of junior high school, saw that He Yun was not a material for reading, so instead of staying in the village all day long to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, the more he demolished the hole and the bigger it became, he simply made up his mind to take the family out to survive.
On the day of leaving, a family of four got up in the middle of the night to sort out the luggage that was not packed yesterday, nothing more than a few shabby clothes and some pots and pans at home, and got up in the middle of the night to prepare for the departure again. A few bulging woven bags that have been through the vicissitudes of life hide the meaning of the rich road of the poor family, which does not look like a long journey, like fleeing.
The day was just dawning, the rooster was nearing the end, and the family of four carried the bag on their shoulders and turned back one step at a time. As the morning dew passed through the village, a few early dogs were startled, and the uneven and careless barking of the dogs sent the family off for the whole family. First walk to the town and take the shuttle bus to the county, and then transfer from the county to the city train station. It was the fifth day they had left their hometown in Dongguan, Guangdong.
At first, Guangdong didn't seem to be very happy to accept this rustic rural family, and the family that had just arrived in the big city was like headless flies stalking around. Because the old ones are uneducated, the young ones are too young, and they are reluctant to recruit them to factories or places where they are employed, and there is no place for this family to stand in this huge city, and the family really has no way to see someone under the viaduct and overpass to cover it overnight, He Xiaoliu took the family to spend a few nights under each viaduct and overpass that wandered to. There is no endless road, He Xiaoliu met Ma Jiu who was also from other places under the last viaduct spent by the family, and learned from Ma Jiu and went to the waste landfill plant on the outskirts of the city (the so-called landfill is just a big pit for the disposal of domestic waste in the city), and the two discussed to build a temporary shack around to shelter from the wind and rain, pick up recyclable waste products in the landfill plant and resell them to factories in need, and have a good livelihood. At first, the family lived a hard life under the fence for a few years, and then set up a waste recycling station, and the family has no worries about food and clothing. In the past few years, He Yun has been helping his family take care of the business, and he has also made some money, and he has also bought a house in a small town in Dongguan, which can be regarded as a neutral foothold in a big city. This time I returned to my hometown to pick up his aunt's youngest son Tiezhu to help the family with the business, which can be regarded as helping my aunt's son find an errand, and secondly, to ask my aunt to help find someone to cook the barren fields at home over the years.
