Chapter 12, Returning Home
The 30th is the last day of classes before the National Day holiday, this time Zhang Zhicheng learned well, and he and Li Chao ran to the classroom 15 minutes in advance.
The fullest course of the day will theoretically have 8 classes, half in the morning and half in the afternoon, and the first 2 classes in the morning and the last two in the afternoon today.
In the afternoon class, I said goodbye to him Zhang Zhicheng, and after the morning, he flashed people directly.
"Hu Jun asked me what you think of Chen Yu, saying that your appetite has not been good in the past two days and you haven't eaten much."
"I don't have an appetite and should go to the hospital, I'm not interested in the yellow haired girl."
Zhang Zhicheng is not narcissistic enough to contact him a few times, and after a few meals, people will love him and love him to death.
However, there was a misunderstanding, and he was impressed by him, and as long as Zhang Zhicheng came to class, he could always bow his head and not look up.
"Chen Yu is very beautiful"
Li Chao was a little incomprehensible, it stands to reason that according to Zhang Zhicheng's personality and communication skills, chasing a Chen Yu, he felt that he was able to catch it.
It's as simple as him playing basketball, he doesn't understand Zhang Zhicheng's brain circuit, and it's Zhang Zhicheng's credit that he is so close to Hu Jun.
"Don't worry about my business, get along with Hu Jun well, this girl is a person who is suitable for your life, she is cheerful and not rude, believe me that her family will support her in her future path, otherwise she will not cultivate a person with such a character"
After staying up until the end of class, Zhang Zhicheng's mind was long out of school, and he really wanted to see his parents.
"Brother Cheng, you didn't have class in the afternoon?"
"Get on the hammer and go home".
Zhang Zhicheng didn't have anything to pack, so he brought a change of clothes, and a paper handbag could do it.
In the dormitory, Luo Haibo bought tomorrow's train ticket, and Zhang Zhicheng said hello to the people in the dormitory and prepared to leave.
No, he went home, Hu Jun is from Luzhou, he must also be home, Li Chao didn't let himself go for 7 days?
Unfortunately, he will be like the previous life for 7 consecutive nights.
"Li Chao, do you want to go to my house for a walk?"
"It's inconvenient."
", if you are like Wang Bing Tang Xuefeng, I don't bother to care about you, I'm afraid that Hu Jun and I will go home, you will die suddenly in the Internet café, and you have to collect your body"
Li Chao finally agreed, and Zhang Zhicheng also invited Wang Bing and Tang Xuefeng, but I heard that they were going to the countryside, and now it was the rice harvesting season to help carry the rice, and the relationship between the two and Zhang Zhicheng was not good enough to endure hardships.
When passing through Longyang County, Zhang Zhicheng introduced to Li Chao that this was the hometown of Ming Taizu.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was Longyang Mansion, and Jinling Mansion Luzhou Mansion was of the same status, but now it is abolished, and it is like a bird in his hometown DY County, without any rising gigabit, and the poor are still poor.
When I was about to arrive at DY County, I also received a call from Luo Peipei, which meant that the news came out from Erxia.
Binhai Power got 2 units, and also made an appointment to meet after the holiday, and the allocation was about to be successful, and Zhang Zhicheng was in a better mood.
When I arrived at the county seat at 12 o'clock at noon, the food stalls rubbed together.
On the day of the autumn tiger, there was indeed electric heating at noon, and the two of them took a small turn in the county.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I got on the minibus to the nearest town to Zhang Zhicheng's hometown, and bought some pork on the way, as well as a barrel of cooking oil and 2 cigarettes in the supermarket, and Zhang Zhicheng said that the most important thing in the countryside is vegetables, chickens, ducks and fish.
After getting off the minibus, there is about 30 minutes to walk on the dirt road.
It is said that at the end of this year, this road will be turned into a cement road, and the national village connection project, regardless of the quality of the road, the form will definitely be in place.
Because of the aerial photography, if the town didn't make this road, the old men of the county government would be able to skin the mayor.
When approaching the village, the scene is quite lively, all of them are harvesting rice, and the most feared thing at this time is the rain.
This year, the rain was relatively abundant for three consecutive months on July and August in June, and there was no need for manpower to pump water.
When the rice is harvested in autumn, it is really a great time to eat, remember that it will not work next year, and there will be a drought.
Zhang Zhicheng continued to greet people in the same village, most of them were surnamed Zhang, which was very rural, and introduced Li Chao as a classmate who came to help.
When I arrived at home, only my uncle and grandfather were at home, and I was an old man who had suffered all my life.
Because of labor reform, I never got married all my life, and when I got old, I could save more than 300 a month.
When he died, all the money was more than 1W6,000 yuan, and he secretly gave it to Zhang Wenbing, saying that he kept it for Zhang Zhicheng to marry his daughter-in-law.
Now 73 years old, he can still help dry and harvest rice on the threshing floor.
"Uncle, I'm back"
Fan Juyou is getting older and his ears are a little bad, Zhang Zhicheng and Li Chao put their things on the kitchen runway and greeted him again.
"Uncle, I'll come back and pull"
"Zhicheng is back, your father and mother are still in the field"
"Uncle and grandfather, this is my classmate, and I came to help", the two had already discussed it on the way, so they explained to Zhang Zhicheng's family.
Li Chao hurriedly greeted: "Hello uncle and grandfather, I am classmate Zhang Zhicheng"
Zhang Zhicheng simply snatched the wooden shovel (a shovel-shaped farm tool used to raise the field) from his uncle and grandfather, and let his uncle and grandfather rest.
Half of the rice in the threshing floor (200 square meters), Zhang Zhicheng and Li Chao, can be stacked into 2 piles in 10 minutes, and they can be pretended to play in 20 minutes. More than 20 woven bags look.
Zhang Zhicheng bit it with his teeth, he really could pretend to be dry, and he started with Li Chao, shoveling and sweeping.
30 minutes is indeed over, it will be more than 5 o'clock, my father (Zhang Wenbing) and mother (Liu Huizhen) have not come back, using the hot water boiled by the coal stove to help my uncle and grandfather prepare the bath water, Zhang Zhicheng began to work in the kitchen.
Li Chao's family was also in the countryside when he didn't have a career, and he also burned an earthen stove like this.
When his family was in junior high school, his father started selling fruit to earn his first pot of gold, and when he reached high school, the family's business became bigger and bigger, selling fruit and transporting together.
In recent years, the rapid development of the economy, those engaged in logistics and transportation, it is difficult not to get rich, and those who are complacent are eating loess and eating their old books.
Zhang Zhicheng stir-fried, Li Chao burned grass, and when his parents came back, a winter melon roasted pork, a shredded potato meat, a fried greens, mixed with garlic cucumber, and a tomato egg soup, the standard four dishes and one soup were completed.
It really responds to the sentence that there may be more materials in the countryside, but there is really no shortage of vegetables, chickens, ducks and fish.
Zhang Zhicheng served food to his uncle and grandfather first, and his uncle and grandfather were the kind of people who were particularly conscious.
Thinking that he is old, Zhang Wenbing is not his son after all, so after his grandmother's death, he doesn't eat at the table, and usually eats in his small cement brick house.
Zhang Zhicheng's grandfather is now taking his cousin Zhang Zhiyi to study in the county, and his second uncle Zhang Wenmin bought a house in the county, and he took his aunt Liu Wencui and Zhang Zhicheng's sister Zhang Ting in the shoe capital.
The backyard of Zhang Zhicheng's house (with a low wall) is more than 100 square meters and nearly 200 square meters in size, and it is full of vegetables, green peppers, millet peppers, green vegetables, potatoes, leeks, cowpeas, cucumbers, winter melons, loofahs, etc., and the common vegetables in the countryside are basically there.
There are dozens of chickens and more than 20 ducks at home, and the old geese are not raised.
There is a reservoir at the top and a reservoir at the bottom, and there is never a shortage of fish as long as it rains heavily (fish go back upstream during the spawning season).
Mom and Dad are back.
Seeing his parents again, who were not old, Zhang Zhicheng's eyes turned red in an instant.
The sins of the previous life, I can still remember the old faces of my parents, the rickety backs, and the hair that was dyed white like snow.
Maybe it's because Li Chao is here, maybe it's because he really doesn't know how to express this feeling.
"Mom and Dad, quick, you guys wash first, I'm all done"
"Mom and Dad, this is my classmate, Li Chao, I specially asked to come back to help"
"Hello uncle and aunt, I'm causing you trouble"
"It's good not to be troublesome, not to think that our countryside is inconvenient"
"That's not going to happen, my hometown is also rural"
Where Zhang Zhicheng is there, as long as he doesn't keep his mouth shut, the dinner table will always be happy.
"Mom, why are you doing it so late, I don't see you cut it"
"It's not my turn to cut the field, I will help you cut it from Uncle Wencai's family, and you will come to my house the day after tomorrow"
In the countryside, this is the benefit, and when a family is in trouble, other families will find some way to help.
Like this kind of harvester to cut rice, generally when a family is cutting, other people waiting to be cut will help carry or help to carry, and the human touch is much heavier than in the city.
"Harvest rice the day after tomorrow, Mom, I'll tell you, cut rice and hand it over to my dad and me and Li Chao, you cook at home, I see that our little rooster grows well"
"Don't let your classmates get tired too hard"
"I'll tell you, Mom, we both play basketball until we can't play, and we're in good health."
Li Chao also answered: "Auntie, don't worry, don't dare to say anything else, it's absolutely no problem to do physical goods, if you really give me a technical job, I really can't do it."
"Dad, I'm afraid you may not have as much strength as me now, the day after tomorrow, you can tie your pockets, drive a tractor, and leave the rest to me"
After eating, Zhang Zhicheng rushed to wash the dishes.
The gate of Zhang Zhicheng's house is facing due west, and the tiled houses in the countryside are basically the same, with the guest hall in the middle, the bedrooms on both sides, the parents' on the south side, and the two small rooms on the north side are Zhang Zhicheng's sister and brother, and the sister Zhang Ting is not at home with the second uncle who works in shoes.
In the evening, a few people didn't talk too late, mainly because they were afraid that Li Chao would not be used to it.
When he was about to go to bed, his parents were still chatting about Zhang Zhicheng.
"In charge, do you think that your son has changed a lot when he comes back this time, he is too sensible?"
"Isn't it good to be sensible, if you have an ignorant son, I'm afraid that he won't support you when you're old"
"Old thing, Zhicheng is not your son anymore"
......
Zhang Zhicheng's room, in this weather, there are quite a lot of mosquitoes, so you can only hang mosquito nets.
The bed in the countryside is big enough, and it is much wider to sleep two people, and both of them usually go to bed late, and they can't sleep at this time.
"Li Chao, is there any difference between the countryside on my side and yours?"
"It's pretty much the same, but your fields here are relatively flat, and we don't grow much grain over there, and now most of them grow fruits."
"Lychee, sugarcane, and orange are the main ones"
Zhang Zhicheng then remembered that there were too many fruits over there, but the main ones were these three.
"It's pretty much the same, there are others, but they are generally not planted in a large area."
"Your sugar industry is doing well, I don't know if your family has done it, this is promising, now the domestic cane sugar and white sugar are mainly imported from South America, you can find a way to do it from Vietnam if you don't do it yourself, in short, the profit is not small."
"My dad really wants to make sugar, but the difficulty is not small, the cost is too great, the main reason is that the machinery and equipment are too expensive, and there is no way to do it from Vietnam, I am afraid of being pitted"
