Lan Lijuan found a stick from the school cafeteria, picked up a lot of things such as her clothes, bedding, and books, and gritted her teeth and walked on the way home.

Her hometown is located in the westernmost mountainous area of Huiji County, Lianzhong Village, Dongqiao Commune.

Every time she goes home, she needs to take the cheapest train to get to Qianqing Town, which is about 20 kilometers from Qianqing to Dongqiao Commune, and Lan Lijuan needs to walk all the way for about 4 hours to get home.

Not to mention a little girl who is only 19 years old, even if a big man carries so many things and walks dozens of kilometers of mountain roads, it is unbearable.

Lan Lijuan had to stop often to rest, and then continued to grit her teeth and insist on rushing home.

She is luckier than Chen Qi, in Xia Ze Village, where Chen Qi is located, the folk customs are not so simple, and the Chen family is completely on their own, so they moved resolutely in the end.

Lan Lijuan was able to continue to go to school, but it was all thanks to the help of the villagers and relatives.

At that time, her junior high school grades were the first among the 10 middle schools in Qianqing District, but the pressure in going to school was too great.

Lan Lijuan's father died at an early age, leaving her mother alone to do farm work, and there is also an old grandmother, a younger brother, and a younger sister to support.

Lan Lijuan's mother's name is Shi Atiao, although Aunt Shi feels sorry for her daughter, but such family conditions only allow one child to go to school at most, and she always wants to give up the opportunity to study to her only son.

Lan Lijuan, who was so strong, had to take her report card, kneel on the ground, and beg her mother to give her a chance.

Because she wants to go to school and change her life.

In the end, the people in the village couldn't see it, this was the first "female champion" in the village, so the east family made up 2 corners, and the west family gave a few eggs, so that the money was collected and Lan Lijuan had the opportunity to get out of the mountains.

Of course, in the end, her younger siblings had to drop out of school and have to help the family support from an early age.

This is also the guilt that Lan Lijuan has always felt in her heart, and it is also the main reason why she just wants to study hard and work hard to return home.

In the evening, Lan Lijuan finally walked to the entrance of the village.

Seeing that the only secondary school student in the village had returned, the villagers came to say hello:

"Lijuan is back?"

"Hey, uncle, I'm back."

"Yo, Lan Juan, are you on winter vacation? Look, he's getting taller again. ”

"Yes, Aunt Five, you can intern after the New Year."

Lan Lijuan said hello and walked slowly home, she was very grateful to the villagers in her heart, and always thought that one day she could repay them.

Finally, I came to my door.

Lan Lijuan's home only has a wooden building, and the first floor is a kitchen and hall, well, and there is a pig in it.

Yes, you read that right, the pigsty is right under the indoor stairs, and there is a small place around it, anyway, the smell ......

Upstairs, in addition to three simple beds, there are a few broken wooden boxes, nothing else of value, and there are no electric lights at home, only kerosene lamps.

Even in the poorest mountain village, the Lan family is considered the poorest, almost destitute.

Lan Lijuan was able to finish primary and junior high school and be admitted to the technical secondary school, which has to be said to be a miracle.

"Mom, I'm back."

At this time, a woman hurriedly walked out of the house, "Da Nan is back, oh, come into the house, look at you and freeze you." ”

"Mom, I'm not cold, it's still hot when I walk, hehe, is grandma okay? What about Red Red and Pingping? ”

Lan Lijuan put down the burden on her body while searching for her other family members, she missed it very much after not seeing her for half a year.

"Sister, are you back?"

Lan Lihong heard the voice and ran out of the house, hugged her sister, followed by their youngest brother, Lan Guoping.

"Sister, sister, did you buy anything delicious in the city?"

Lan Lijuan blushed and took out three catties of fruit candy from her backpack: "Here, this is candy, but you have to save some food, do you know?" ”

"Wow, Sister is so good, there are so many candies, each of us can get a lot of good."

Shi Atiao saw that his eldest daughter brought back so many sugar monsters, and said angrily: "Ajuan, don't spend this kind of unjust money in the future, these three catties of sugar are so expensive, you can buy a lot of salt at home." ”

"Mom, it's okay, isn't this the New Year, let my younger brothers and sisters be happy."

In fact, Lan Lijuan didn't tell the truth, she didn't buy these fruit candies, they were stuffed into her luggage by Chen Qi before leaving.

If Chen Qi hadn't been in a hurry to go back to Xia Ze to pick up her family, according to his thoughts, it would have been possible to send her back to her hometown in person.

After Lan Lijuan entered the house, while packing up her things, she unconsciously thought of the figure of the big boy in her mind.

Dangling in front of her every day, she felt that Chen Qi was very annoying. But they were separated for a while, and she still thought about him a little.

Lan Lijuan assured the Great Leader that she didn't think about it deliberately, but only thought about it from time to time.

After all, this big boy gave her a rare little happiness as a country girl, and those "kindness" also warmed her little inferiority complex because of poverty.

"Chen Qi, I don't know what I'm doing now? I should have gone back to my hometown, right? ”

What is Chen Qi doing? Of course, he was busy shopping on the black market at this time.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the Chen family has just moved to a new house, so everything has to be prepared.

Workers in the city can hold all kinds of tickets, and the whole family can happily go to various department stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, and non-staple food stores to make big purchases and prepare for the New Year's food.

Many units have also sent New Year's goods in advance, and there is no shortage of chicken, duck, fish, melon seeds, peanuts, apples, ducks and pears, which fully reflects the superiority of Duhuiism.

But as a black household in the city, a farmer brother, Chen Qi's four sisters and brothers don't have any New Year's goods, and they don't have bills to make big purchases, so what should I do?

Others can't help it, as a black market professional Chen Qi has a way, can a living person still suffocate urine to death?

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the business of the Fushan Black Market is also extremely busy, originally only occupied a small plot of land in the north, but now the west side is full of stalls.

It's still the old rule, the market opens before dawn, and the stalls are closed before the market management workers come to work, and everyone is safe.

Unlike inland areas, where the red sleeves are outflanked before and after, it is really a dead hand, and those who are caught can only go to labor reform, and the livelihood of the whole family has become a big problem.

And the cadres here in Vietnam and China are more peculiar, if you look carefully, and then look at it, it is possible that they themselves are also shopping on the black market early in the morning to buy things.

When it's time to go to work, some people will cough twice, and the people in the black market will know that it's time to close the stalls.

Of course, there are unconscious people who still sell things, so if you don't give face, people won't give you face, who won't arrest people? If you catch all of them and send them to the sea, you won't be tired.
