Chen Yi sat in a hard seat for two days, and sleeping in a seat without a window was a kind of torture, and when he got off the bus, his eyes were all blue and black.

Back in the commune, he went to find Ding Changhai first.

Under the dark sky, Ding Changhai's family was eating in the courtyard, and when he saw the figure standing at the gate of the courtyard, Ding Changhai hurriedly got up.

"Brother, are you back?"

Chen Yi smiled, "I'll come to you first as soon as I come back." ”

Ding Changhai was quite honored, Zhao Ying hurriedly said: "You haven't eaten yet, come over and eat first, what about my brother and sister?" ”

"She's about to give birth, and she hasn't come back."

Chen Yi has been nibbling on dry biscuits on the train for two days, and he really wants to eat some hot rice, and with his friendship with Ding Changhai, there is really no need to be polite.

After sitting down, Ding Changhai whispered: "I have left all the grain for you, the white flour is only thirty catties, and the rest is coarse grain, a total of two hundred and forty catties." ”

An adult's ration is 35 catties of grain per month, and these grains are enough to eat for more than half a year.

"I sent malt milk essence and milk powder to your mother before, your mother should have mailed it to you, and then I asked for milk powder, and I will find a way for you, but the milk powder is too difficult to get, so you have to wait."

Chen Yi was sincerely grateful, "If there is anything useful in the future, you can just open your mouth." ”

Ding Changhai laughed, "What's polite, it's not confiscated money." But I remember what you said. ”

After talking and eating, Chen Yi took out a few comic books from his bag and handed them to Ding Changhai's son.

Ding Changhai's son flipped through the comic strip and shouted happily, "This is the capital's comic strip?" ”

After receiving a definite answer, the child happily rushed back to the house with the book, and the brothers and sisters who had provoked it chased after him.

Zhao Ying smiled and said, "What are you buying them for, it's a waste of money." ”

Chen Yi smiled silently, took out a wide headband and a colorful towel from his bag and handed them to Zhao Ying, "Xinyu gave it to you." ”

There are too few things in the department store that don't need tickets, Jiang Xinyu doesn't have a ticket herself, so she has to buy a headband and give it away.

The color of the headband is purple, not bright but it looks beautiful, Zhao Ying liked it at a glance, and smiled from ear to ear, "Why are you so polite brother and sister?" ”

Ding Changhai scratched his head and asked with a little expectation: "Is there anything good for me?" ”

No matter how much it is worth, the thing was brought back from the capital, it seems that it is different.

Zhao Ying glared at him, "What else do you need from a big man?" ”

Chen Yi was slightly embarrassed, "If you see something suitable for you during the next holiday, I will bring it to you again." ”

People bother to help get milk powder, just for the sake of past friendships, sending some things can be regarded as reciprocation.

When he returned to the commune, Ding Changhai also lent his bicycle to Chen Yi to ride.

The sky was already dark, but the stars and moon were very bright, and the clear light illuminated the road under their feet, and the moon in the river was like a glowing egg yolk.

There are also children in the village who are catching field chickens outside, and the sound of frolicking spreads far and wide.

Passing by the entrance of the village, Chen Yi turned into the door of Jiang Xinyu's mother's house, and when he saw that the courtyard door was closed, he didn't go in to disturb him, and went home first.

Before I got to the door, I heard Liu Caifeng, the aunt next door, scolding something inappropriate at the door.

The closer the bicycle got, the more Liu Caifeng raised his neck and scolded in the direction of his courtyard door.

"Have you scolded enough?"

At first glance, when he heard Chen Yi's voice, Liu Caifeng was excited, and looked at it, which one is not the son of the widow Wang?

Liu Caifeng stammered, "You, why are you back?" ”

Chen Yi glanced at her, and was about to speak, when Widow Wang pushed open the courtyard door and came out.

She glared at Liu Caifeng fiercely and scolded: "Scold again and tear your mouth apart." ”

This looks like a son who trembles when he comes back.

Liu Caifeng's eyes glared and went back to his yard.

Chen Yi was speechless.

After entering the hospital, without waiting for his mother to speak, he asked, "I'm not at home, and you let her bully her like this?" ”

She didn't even talk back when she was scolded, it's not her style. Does she have to be there to be aroused by his presence? I can't.

There are enthusiastic good people in the village, and there are also people who hate people and laugh at people, and Liu Caifeng next door is the one who hurts people.

Widow Wang shook her head: "It's not what you think, someone in the surrounding village was bitten by wild dogs a while ago, the village organized a dog beating, and the dogs running outside were killed, Xinyu's mother was not in the village, so I took Xiao Hei back, and as a result, Liu Caifeng took advantage of my absence at home to carry a stick in and killed Xiao Hei, I knocked her two egg-laying hens to death in a fit of anger, these days she scolded at the gate of the courtyard from time to time, I scolded back and didn't stop it, she came again in two days, Every time she thinks of those two chickens, she feels distressed that she can't live. ”

"She scolded her, and I was tired of scolding her, so let her go."

Chen Yi was speechless when he heard it, he was silent for a long time, he was also very uncomfortable with what happened to Xiao Hei, and if Jiang Xinyu knew, it would definitely be even more uncomfortable.

When she entered the house, the widow showed off the more than thirty eggs she had exchanged in the past few days, plus her own more than sixty, all of which were placed in a straw basket, which looked quite magnificent.

"It's hot now, it won't last long, and it will be bad when you save so much."

Widow Wang glanced at him, "What do you know, when Xinyu is finished, at least one bowl of egg custard a day, then at least three eggs will be required, and these eggs will not be eaten for long." ”

"In addition to the eggs, I also went to the river to pick up some wild duck eggs, which were pickled and brought them to her."

The widow has been busy lately, and has made a bunch of things to eat and put away.

The peppers in her own field are red and not red, and some have not grown strong, all of which she picked and chopped to make fresh pepper sauce.

"Hungry or not, I don't know if you came back today, and there is no food in the pot."

In fact, the widow Wang ate very little at home, she saved all the food, thinking that there was no food relationship in the capital, and she had to be nervous to eat, in order to reduce the burden on her son and daughter-in-law, she would rather eat less food and eat more vegetables in her own field.

Chen Yi shook his head after eating.

"The ticket I bought is the day after tomorrow, have you arranged it in the pigsty and the self-reserved field?"

Chen Yi was very tired from sitting in the car, holding firewood and preparing to boil a pot of water for a bath.

Widow Wang nodded, "I have told the captain that the pigsty has already been arranged, and I have brought almost all the people, as for the self-kept field, let the Chunfu family help watch it, and give them all the income inside, in exchange, his family has to plant cabbage and radishes in the autumn, so that we don't have to eat when we come back for the New Year." As for the two hens in the house, they can only be sold quickly. ”

Hearing that his mother had arranged things in an orderly manner, Chen Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just came back for a few days, but there were a lot of things to deal with, and when he was lying in bed after taking a shower, he was thinking in his mind, how is Jiang Xinyu doing at school alone now.
