Chapter 478: Little Friends Go to the Northeast (4)
Zhou Jiao watched the group reluctantly say goodbye to the enthusiastic villagers, and made an appointment to come back when they had time, they were really speechless. Again, the devil knows the Year of the Monkey.
As soon as they arrived in the county seat, before they had time to go home, Zhang Guoqing and his party were pulled to his house by Zhao Dashan again, and they made an appointment to discuss a trip to the grassland, but it was actually another banquet.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiao hurriedly sent the package she was carrying to Zhang Guoqing to the kitchen. With so many people eating, it is estimated that the Zhao family will be hungry for ten days and half a month.
The Zhao family didn't have anything else, and they had a lot of wine stored before. At the end of the drink, a few lads fell, and the meal ended. After sobering up, Yi Jiefang said again and again that they would no longer dare to drink in the Northeast, and they were all wine tanks.
Knowing that they were going to leave the next day, except for a few people who were drunk, a large number of tripods went home to prepare things. Especially Zhang Guoqing, there is also a pot that was directly brought to Zhao's house.
Leaving a few people to sleep, Zhang Guoqing was free to take Zhou Jiao, and the two of them went to visit their brothers and sisters and the neighboring elders with pastries and candied fruits.
I went to a few houses in a row, and I was embarrassed to come to the door without a four-color gift in the past, but now a box of pastry candied fruit is a generous gift, but it saves a lot of money for two people.
The reunion always seems more intimate, especially Zhang Meili waited for several days to see her little brother, which was holding the hands of the couple tightly, and she had to confirm whether they were doing well.
The details of life, the sophistication of people, and the repeated persuasion of one thing after another, but I am worried that the little couple will have a hard time outside - this eldest sister has never changed.
When she returned home, Zhang's mother was finally able to take out the hidden things with peace of mind and talk to her old son about them.
Zhou Jiao smiled dumbly. Can she say that she has long understood in her heart that her mother-in-law will reduce the weight of human affection. She was deliberately giving more.
Lin Ju is her grandson, and Zhang Meimei is her daughter. Zhou Jiao really couldn't handle this matter, but Mrs. Cheng reminded her to send it all to her mother-in-law and let her watch it.
"I gave half of the fabric and cotton to Chrysanthemum, I think you must think she makes clothes for Ping An every year. This one is given, and a bag of milk powder is given as an egg. I'll put everything else away. Your second sister, I also follow the standards in the city, just the same as what your three brothers gave. ”
Zhou Jiao nodded with a smile and pushed away the things she handed over, "Mother, let you go first, the child will be useful for a hundred days." ”
Zhang Guoqing saw that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had settled, and smiled at Zhang's father: "Dad, you and your mother will set off with us tomorrow." This time, my godfather Dashan and they all went. ”
Father Zhang looked at his wife. He still wanted to see what kind of prairie competition it was. If I didn't have an old son, I wouldn't have had a chance to go in this life.
"Will it cause you trouble? I didn't look good in the past as an old lady, your father went with you, and I packed up my things at home. ”
"Mother, what kind of old lady are you, let's go out together, I call you eldest sister, someone must believe it. Aunt Cheng has all passed, and you just happen to have company. ”
Mother Zhang was amused by her.
Soon the matter was settled. Zhang Guoqing saw that the time was not early, so he left Zhou Jiao to cook with Zhang's mother, and went to Zhao Dashan's house to find someone to come back.
Near dinner, Li Qinglin and Zhang Yuntao coincidentally returned to Zhang's house with food and dry goods, saying that their parents had given them to the little five.
Zhou Jiao didn't refuse, knowing that now she brings a meal ticket to someone else's house, and it's not good for outsiders to see it. She carried it straight to the kitchen, intending to return the salute before leaving.
In the early morning of the next day, a truck drove out of the county seat, arrived in the provincial capital to meet Zhao Chuanguang and his transport vehicle, and drove to the destination.
This time, everyone didn't get off the bus halfway like last time, but directly followed Zhao Chuanguang and them to the carriage racecourse. With Wan Dayong's cousin there, he was arranged to rest for one night.
The next day, everyone left the transport vehicle, and the group went to the horse racing site under the leadership of Uncle Wan.
Singing, dancing, horseback movement, participating in the yelling, experiencing joy. It's a pity that everyone was in a hurry, so they played for a day with satisfaction, and returned to their accommodation with the local specialties they bought.
In the next two days of waiting time, the elders gathered together to live their leisurely days, while Zhang Guoqing and the others hunted around with weapons, and from time to time ran to the herdsmen's yurt with the herdsmen's yurt to drink mare's milk wine and communicate happily with the locals.
At the end of the game, Zhao Chuanguang and they were all about to set off, and a few reluctant people decided to stay for a few more days, and the fun places they learned from the herdsmen had not yet been to, and many delicacies had not yet been tasted.
It is rare to come once, there is no shortage of money, and a few people who are not short of tickets immediately made a fuss to let them elders bring wild things back first, and they played all the way and took the train home.
Zhao Chuanguang and others, who were like arrows, had to take the transport car away, and in desperation, they left some food stamps to go back on time. And the little friend after Sa Huan'er is completely crazy.
Along the way, all the way either to send things back, or to supplement passers-by, until the pockets were empty, only to scrape together enough food stamps to eat a full meal back to the county seat.
On a trip to the grassland, everyone was tanned, and even Zhang Guoqing and his wife were all red. This very meaningful journey has joy and sadness.
On this trip, what I saw and heard on the road made these young people grow up a lot. The flowers in the greenhouse have been washed by the storm, and they have some calmness and some understanding.
On the ox cart, Yi freed his hands and pillows, leaned on his companion, and looked up at the sky. The original Hang'er Lang didn't exist, and he felt that he should reflect on his life.
Wan Dayong, who is one year older than them, has a deeper understanding than him. He seemed to understand the so-called suffering of the people that his grandfather used to mention in his ear.
Geng Dasheng kept a silent face the whole time, staring into the distance, what did he think? Is it a big-headed child with bare feet, or a shack everywhere? Maybe those strangers who are staggering along?
No one asked. Some things are far away from them, and some things are close to them. Everyone is thinking about their own thoughts.
Sometimes some insights can affect a person for life. It's like an epiphany in martial arts. How much you can realize depends on your luck, and these are the experiences that everyone can always experience in their life growth.
Zhou Jiao leaned closely behind Zhang Guoqing, closed her eyes, and tried to forget the faces that disturbed her.
She laughed self-deprecatingly, such a life of heaven and hell. She didn't know if she was schizophrenic. In the past, I used to comfort myself with the drama of life, but now it is no longer like looking at faded photos. She seemed to blend in, becoming a flesh-and-blood stranger that she was not familiar with.
