The things that Luo Chaosheng brought back were quite rare in the capital.

I heard that Luo Chaosheng was back, and a group of neighbors came to the courtyard.

The neighbors who came to the courtyard came to taste some dried fruits, and they praised the dried melons and fruits in Xinjiang Province for being particularly sweet.

Luo Chaosheng said with a smile: "The temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang Province is large, which can lock in sugar, and the fruits over there are sweeter than those here. Fresh cantaloupe is the most delicious, and there are yellow figs, which are translated into Chinese as sugar buns..."

In this courtyard, only Luo Chaosheng stays in Xinjiang Province all the year round, and he knows it very well, Jiang Xinyu and Chen Yi have never been there before, and they are also fascinated when they hear him.

The poplar forests in the golden autumn, the vast Gobi Desert, the rippling grasslands in summer, the continuous snow-capped mountains, the clear and sweet snow water of the Tianshan Mountains...

Such a colorful realm is fascinating just by sounding like it.

The neighbors were amazed and wanted to see it.

Old man Luo shook his head and said, "Look at his face, it's all sunburned over there, and people who are less than fifty look the same as old men in their sixties and seventies."

Old man Luo really regretted that his eldest son went to Xinjiang Province with the legion, and from the age of seventeen to the present, nearly thirty years have passed, from youth to middle age, the eldest son's youth and blood are all dedicated to that land.

The hardships of life in the frontier are far from being experienced by ordinary people.

Luo Chaosheng admired his father's mouth a little, he endured it at sixty, seventy is a bit too much, right? He is only in his forties, and he can also be called in the prime of life.

The conditions in Xinjiang Province are like that, and they have been much better in recent years. It was a place he had dedicated half of his life, and he was really reluctant to leave.

Looking back on the hard years of the past, it was all youth.

The neighbors were all gone, and Luo Chaosheng also started to work in the kitchen after cleaning up.

was cutting celery, Luo Chaosheng thought of his daughter, and went out with a knife, "Dad, where is Duoduo?"

Old man Luo let out a breath from his nostrils, "Do you remember Duoduo?"

Wang Sumei, who was pouring water from the waste basin, heard it and couldn't help but say, "You are still a father, there is a father like you?"

It doesn't matter if the child is not with me, and it took two hours after I came back to remember to ask my daughter.

Luo Chaosheng: "Aren't I used to being alone?"

Wang Sumei: "It's not okay to take care of the child, the child will not be close to you in the future, even if you don't kiss, you have to blame you."

Luo Chaosheng defended: "Then I can't let her go over there with me, I have a lot of things to do on weekdays, and there is no one to take care of at home, how can she do it at home?"

His ex-wife couldn't stand it because it was too far away from her parents' house, he was often away from home, and the environment and climate were not good, so the two had no choice but to divorce. An adult can't stand that side, let alone let a child stay there.

Wang Sumei shook her head and said disgustedly: "What you said is all excuses, you say that it is for the good of the child, if you really want the good of the child, you should ask her opinion, I don't believe that the child does not want to live with his own father, to put it bluntly, you are selfish and patronizing yourself."

I haven't been trained by a woman for a long time, Luo Chaosheng feels somewhat new to this, but being said to be selfish, he is a little unconvinced, "Then tell me, if I don't put Duoduo at home, what else can I do?"

Wang Sumei looked at him in surprise, "Your own business, what should you do if you ask me?"

"Either transfer your job back, or take your daughter and your dad over there."

Luo Chaosheng shook his head, "It would be nice if my dad was willing to go over there, my job won't be transferred back for a while."

Wang Sumei felt that she was talking in vain, "Then continue like this, when your daughter has no feelings for you in the future, I will see where you cry."

Wang Sumei returned to the house with the basin, and Uncle Luo looked at his eldest son and smiled.

"Dad, what are you laughing at? Eh, what about the flowers?"

"Duoduo is in Xiaowen's house, she is already in the first grade, if you want to miss her, you will go and pick her up in a while."

Luo Chaosheng nodded again and again, "I want to take it, I bought her a lot of fun ones."

He said as he put down the utensils and lifted them dry

Guo is about to leave, "Dad, you wait, wait until I bring Duoduo back and cook, if you are hungry, eat something else first."

The curtain was lifted, and the oil and gas of Wang Sumei's fried chicken jumped straight out, and Luo Chaosheng took a sip and felt that it was really fragrant.

The taste of dried chili peppers and peppercorns in the pot was very choking, and Jiang Xinyu came out with the child in her arms to breathe.

Uncle Luo was sitting at the door peeling walnuts.

"Grandpa Luo, aren't you cold?"

Uncle Luo: "Wearing thick clothes, I can't be cold for a while. Duoduo will come back in a while, she loves walnuts, I'll peel some for her and put it away."

Seeing that the child kept staring at the walnuts, Jiang Xinyu picked one up and put it in his hand for him to play.

"Grandpa Luo, the scenery in Xinjiang Province is so good, have you ever been there?"

Uncle Luo nodded, "Of course I have been, I went there in the first year of my retirement after finishing my job, and stayed there for nearly a year, from spring to winter."

"At that time, it was really full of the Gobi Desert, you don't know how bitter my boss was when he first went there, the Gobi Desert became an oasis, which was the result of countless soldiers of the Corps who had worked for so many years. In the past, I didn't have a house, so I lived in a straw hut in the summer, and in the winter I lived in a nest in the field, and I slept on a wild hemp bed, and I often moved around without a fixed place, and I opened up tens of millions of acres of wasteland with farm tools, and the land there was so thick that I could sink my feet directly into it..."

They used cantubans, flat poles, wicker baskets, and a small number of tractors to carry sand dunes, dig up weeds, open up wasteland, dig ditches and build roads, just to open up farms in the wasteland and build green homes suitable for human habitation...

When Uncle Luo was talking, Wang Sumei and Chen Yi in the house also listened carefully.

It's a world they don't know about.

Uncle Luo also came to an allegro as he spoke: "Wild hemp replaces the wire bed, eating a pickle is like a sausage, the sky is the tent, the ground is the bed, drinking boiling water is like chicken soup, where there is difficulty, the soldiers of the corps are the strongest."

After singing, Uncle Luo smiled, with nostalgia in his eyes, "I didn't expect that after so many years, I still remember these words, I live too much, the days are too hard, they made up one song after another to motivate themselves, when I heard them sing, the big guys were busy working in the field, that scene, I can't forget it in my life, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I was about to fall tears at that time."

"I hope the boss will get his job back, but he doesn't want to come back, and I can understand him."

"Su Mei, you said that my eldest son is selfish and doesn't care about children, I have to say a few words for him, my eldest family, he is a man. It's that I don't want to go there, I really can't blame him for these things, how can life be perfect."

Wang Sumei didn't expect that Uncle Luo was talking about Xinjiang Province, and he could still hand it to her.

She had mixed feelings in her heart, and she was curious about Luo Chaosheng's life experience.
