Chapter 6: Returning Home
In the evening, when she returned to the courtyard of the educated youth, Hu Xiaohong asked her that Lin Xi went to the commune's grocery store to buy "nutrition", although it was only two pig bones, Hu Xiaohong was also happy to accept the invitation to come over and drink bone broth. When boiling the soup, Hu Xiaohong chatted with great interest while burning the fire about the educated youths collectively asking for leave to go home for the New Year, saying that the production captain and the team secretary had agreed, and today Feng Weidong had written the leave application, and the educated youths who wanted to go back only needed to sign their names.
Lin Xi hurriedly said that he also wanted to go back to Haishi, and his grandmother was sick, so he had to go back to see it.
Hu Xiaohong was surprised: "You're going back to Haishi, that's too far, right?" I heard that just buying a ticket is enough for my mother's salary for two months, and my mother's monthly salary is 36 yuan, do you have that much money? ”
Lin Xi said: "I didn't, I went to the post and telecommunications office to shoot a telegram last time I went to the market, and today I went over to ask if my remittance slip came." ”
Hu Xiaohong hurriedly said: "You don't have to make a special trip to the post and telecommunications office to see, since the telegram has been taken, if there is a remittance slip, they will send it to the village as soon as possible." ”
"I'm just in a hurry."
"What's the hurry? I haven't distributed the grain yet, and when I sell it, I can buy a few special products for some money to go home. ”
Knowing that Lin Xi's travel expenses had been settled, Hu Xiaohong was also happy for her, so she enthusiastically pulled Lin Xi to find Feng Weidong immediately, signed the name on the collective fake note, and waited until tomorrow to hand it over to the team and stamped the official seal, and the team would issue certificates one by one.
A few days later, the production team distributed the grain, Lin Xi earned a low amount of work, only more than 80 catties of millet, the team divided the grain twice a year, and had to eat half a year for one time, even if the more than 80 catties of millet were crushed and mixed with wild vegetables, Lin Xi could not support it for half a year.
Because they were going home for the New Year, the educated youths sold some of the grain, and Lin Xi directly sold all of it, she told Hu Xiaohong: "When you come back, just take some national food stamps from home." ”
Hu Xiaohong thought so, but she still kept half of the food, and she felt that her family might not have so many food stamps for her.
On the day of the gathering, Lin Xi avoided Hu Xiaohong and ran to the commune again, and came back to say that she had received the remittance, Hu Xiaohong was happy for her, so she had to go around and shout that Lin Xi was rich.
In this way, the fare can be regarded as crossing the bright road, and you can also add two sets of autumn clothes and pants, a sweater and two pairs of socks, which of course are taken out of the space, and I bothered to find some single and plain colors.
In the middle of December, the mountains and jungles are white, and it is not snow, but frost, and the southern mountains are in winter, which is a very special winter scene.
Lin Xi set off back to Haishi in such weather, with not much luggage, carrying a satchel and a travel bag, only containing the clothes that he usually wears, and nothing else.
First take a shuttle bus from the commune to the county seat, and then go from the county seat to the prefecture-level city to take the train, which took a day, Lin Xi found a hotel in the prefecture-level city to stay overnight, by the way to add some luggage to himself, long-distance travel, anyway, I also took two travel bags, one for dry food to eat, one for clothes, all the old clothes on the body were replaced, and the space took out a small inner line, cotton autumn clothes and pants, woolen sweaters, trousers, and two thin tweeds, a medium length and a short coat, the style is the kind of conservative but classic and durable, the color is low-key, light gray and black and white checkered, and then change into a pair of mid-heel lace-up small black leather shoes on the feet, and finally feel a little bit when walking.
After wearing flat cloth shoes for a month, I still can't get used to it, this may have something to do with the fact that the original owner is not tall enough, Lin Xi estimated it himself, at most one meter six.
In his previous life, Lin Xi had grown to 1.68 meters, and now he is seventeen years old, and he really wants to increase his height, but I heard that some girls don't grow after menarche, and I don't know if it's true or not.
The next day, I got up early and rushed to the train station to buy a train ticket, and after calculating that it was still far from the time to get on the train, Lin Xi went to the city for a walk.
When she came back, she was followed by a cart, and the four large sacks on the cart were bulging, Lin Xi took the cart master to the consignment room to complete the consignment procedures, and after paying the money to send the cart master, she breathed a sigh of relief, went into the waiting room to rest, the station was supplied with hot boiling water, and now you can eat instant noodles refreshingly, just after eating, she heard the train entering the station, Lin Xi was very proud: she calculated the time quite accurately.
After lying on the hard sleeper of the train for two days, Lin Xi wilted, and was hit by the speed of the train in this era.
In her previous life, Lin Xi grew up in Hangcheng, Z Province, Central China, studied in college, and worked in F Province, she didn't have any big skills, she was okay to study, and since she was in high school, she was completely free of tuition and miscellaneous fees and included living expenses. Now she is sitting on the green train, clanging for four or five days, and changing trains once in the middle, before finally arriving at Haishi, when she gets off the train, she feels that everyone has become stupid, she can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and she doesn't know which way to go.
After thinking about it for two minutes on the platform, Lin Xi decided not to receive the checked things for the time being, and went to see his grandparents first.
Grandparents are family marriages, but fortunately the two are very affectionate, the couple lived comfortably and happily in the first half of their lives, how could they not expect that they would suffer from this hardship when they are old, especially grandma, who has been pampered since childhood, and has been beaten as a "vampire capitalist", sweeping the streets every day, I don't know how she persevered, and now she is sick and falling, Lin Xi doesn't want any serious consequences, I hope grandma can get better.
In the memory of the original owner, the grandparents love their daughters like life, the original owner is five years old, the mother Lin Qiao Luojiang is missing, the scumbag father quickly married the stepmother, the grandparents are resentful of the scumbag father, do not want the original owner to live in the shadow of the stepmother, do everything possible to obtain the custody of the original owner, and put all the love for Lin Qiao on the original owner, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and the grandparents and grandmothers in five or nine years could not escape the bad luck, some people reported that they were not only capitalist vampires, but also communicated with foreign countries (with foreign relations and correspondence), grandparents were first isolated and examined, After being raided and confiscated the villa, the two elders lived in a narrow and damp small broken room, in order for Lin Xi not to be implicated and suffered, the grandmother bowed her head to the scumbag father and his stepwife, and begged them to raise Lin Xi.
Since then, Lin Xi has lived in Sun's house, obviously she is also the daughter of a scumbag father, but she was treated as a little beggar picked up on the street by her stepmother and her children, and was unceremoniously abused and ridiculed.
Although strictly forbidden by the scumbag father, Lin Xi still had to secretly run to see her grandparents, only with her grandparents could she get real love and love, grandparents said: No matter how hard it is, they will insist on living, because they are reluctant to leave her alone in this world, and they can't see her life getting better, they are unwilling!
This love is deep and heavy, it warms the original owner, and also touches the current Lin Xi, she rushed back from thousands of miles, and she didn't allow anything to happen to her grandmother.
