Chapter 33: The Returning Army (1)

The fall of heavy snow is the beginning of the cash-for-work and the climax of returning home.

Liu Chunhe's family is just one of thousands of returnees.

In ancient China, in addition to the difficulty of leaving the homeland, there was also the inconvenience of transportation.

In the days of global high temperatures, it is back to the ancient days, the days when people go out by their feet, and after the resumption of transportation, in such a difficult and difficult environment, people subconsciously want to return to the place where they were born and raised.

It's not quite accurate to say that there is a wave of homecoming, after all, some people travel from one city to another.

After Liu Chun and his family of five handed over 50 catties of grain each, they took a bus back to their hometown in the countryside.

Their grain storage will be placed in the back truck, and they will be given invoices, and when they arrive at the place, they will receive the grain with the tickets.

Liu Chunhe's hometown is Taoyuan Village, which is also in N Province, and it is not very far from the provincial capital.

Although the snow on the road has been cleared, the car still does not dare to run too fast, and the three-hour drive on the highway has dragged on for more than six hours.

Carriages full and overloaded along the way? What doesn't exist, you can pretend, and the world is yours.

The aisle in the middle of the seat is full of people, which is a long time!

There was no docking, no one daring to dock, no one asked for a dock, everyone just wanted to get home as soon as possible.

At a glance, they are all slender people, coupled with a dish-faced face, which is different from the high-minded talk that was always in the car before, and now there are only whispers in the car.

"You say, now that so many people have returned to the countryside, what if our family is occupied?" Zheng Lili was worried.

I can't complain about her, mainly because they are almost in Liu Chunhe's hometown, and no one has gotten off the car, Zheng Lili is really afraid that they will all have the same destination.

"How is it possible, you have read too many novels, even if someone wants to occupy it, it must be willing of the country and the village and the owner of the house!" Liu Chunhe said this is simply nonsense.

While talking, Taoyuan Village arrived, and Liu Chun and his family of five finally squeezed out of the crowd when they were about to lose their breath.

After taking the invoice to the back truck to take out their family's food and luggage, the four adults had time to breathe.

At this time, they found out that they were not the only ones who got off the bus in Taoyuan Village, there were a few other people, but Liu Chunhe, who had not lived in the village for many years, did not know any of them.

The car at 10 o'clock in the morning was grinding and grinding, and the team set off at 11 o'clock, and when it arrived in Taoyuan Village, it was already more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, which was the time for the snow clearing team to get off work.

Liu Chunhe was worried that this pile of things was going to be moved back by him and his father-in-law in batches like in the morning, when an unfamiliar voice stopped him.

"Are you...... Liu Chunhe, right? ”

Liu Chunhe turned his head, and the person who spoke was about the same age as him, carrying a shovel on his shoulder.

That's his neighbor's son, he has a very delicate name, Du Ze, but he is five big and three thick, because the family is poor, when he came back to sweep the yard during the Chinese New Year last year, I heard that he was not married.

"Du Ze?"

"Are you going back to the village?" Du Ze saw that Liu Chunhe was surrounded by food and luggage.

"Well, I'll go home during this time." Liu Chunhe said as he carried the grain on his shoulders.

Du Ze handed the shovel to his father behind him, "I'll help you!" "Pick up the food and leave.

"Hey...... That's food for our family! Liu Chunhe's mother-in-law, Zheng's mother-in-law, hurriedly hugged Niuniu and chased after her.

Liu Chunhe, Zheng Lili, and Zheng's father hurriedly picked up the food and luggage and chased after them.

Du Ze's father carried two shovels on his back, chatted with the people around him, and slowly went home.

By the time Liu Chun and his family arrived at the door of the house out of breath, Du Ze had already been waiting at the door of his house for a while.

"Did I put this for you?" After that, he went back to his own house.

Liu Chun and the family looked at each other, and Zheng's mother felt that she was spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Hi, I...... I thought the man was robbing our family......

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Liu Chunhe took out the key and opened the door, "Let's go home first, it's getting dark, it's time to go to sleep." ”

Moving the food home and putting it in the room where the food was stored, the family was busy cleaning the room, even Niuniu helped wipe the table, and Zheng's mother went to cook.

"I didn't expect the gas in this village to be usable!" Zheng's mother thought this was a surprise.

"This is not very normal, the gas pipelines are fireproof and explosion-proof, high temperature and cold are not a problem, and the gas pipelines in the village are either plastic." Zheng Lili felt that what her mother said was a little funny.

"Bang bang!"

"I'll open the door!" Mother Zheng put down the spoon in her hand and went to open the door.

Liu Chunhe was worried that Zheng's mother didn't know the people in the village, so he hurriedly followed.

"You are?" Sure enough, Mother Zheng opened the door, and an unknown woman outside the gate held a bowl and looked at Mother Zheng at a loss.

"Auntie?" Taking advantage of the moonlight reflected on the snow, Liu Chunhe vaguely recognized that it was Du Ze's mother next door outside the door, and hurriedly introduced to Zheng's mother, "This is Du Ze's mother who helped us just now." ”

Mother Zheng's face was full of smiles, "It was really thanks to Du Ze's kid just now, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't know what to do with a bunch of things in our house!" ”

"What's polite to the neighbors, besides, Chang Chun and his father often help the neighbors repair electrical appliances!"

"Oh, look at me, patronizing and gossiping, forgetting all about business!" Du Ze's mother handed over the bowl she was holding in her hand, "You just came back, I guess there is no food at home, I'll send some to your family." ”

Stuffing the bowl into Zheng's mother's hand, Du Ze's mother turned her head and left, her back in the moonlight and a sentence "The bowl will be sent back tomorrow." ”

Standing at the gate, Zheng's mother and the two looked at the bowl in their hands, looked at each other, and then looked at the back of Du Ze's mother, so they could only go home with the bowl.

"The people in your village are quite enthusiastic, and as soon as our family came back, they brought us food." Mother Zheng was full of joy.

"It seems that life in this village is much better than in other places, at least you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, otherwise you won't send food to other people's families when you can't eat outside." After hearing this, Father Zheng said something thoughtful.

"Cabbage, turnips, and an egg!" Mother Zheng took a closer look at the things in the bowl, and found that she had not seen this thing for a long time, eating sweet potato vines, sweet potato stalks, and sweet potatoes every day, and her good granddaughter Niuniu was about to become a little sweet potato.

"This egg is Niu Niu's, none of you are allowed to eat it!".

Mother Zheng carefully took out the egg.

"Originally, we didn't want to eat ......" Zheng's father felt that Zheng's mother was simply insulting his personality, is he the kind of person who is greedy?
