Chapter 149: Return to Yanjing
Soon, the winter vacation of more than twenty days will be over.
Jiang Yulou seized the time to go to the home of the teachers of the county high school, Jian Xing, and Ma Xiao's home to pay New Year's greetings, and it is worth mentioning that Jian Xing also got the opportunity to work in Chang'an due to the publication of several articles one after another.
Moreover, this time it is an editorial job, and I can bring my wife with me.
The two of them are separated, and I don't know when they will meet again.
However, the sadness of parting is not strong, and for both of them, it is a good thing to celebrate.
After Jiang Yulou visited the people he knew, he was ready to take his family and move from the backward Shanghe Village to the "prosperous" Yanjing life.
Although the holidays are short, they are also the norm, and the winter vacation in this year is not as long as in later generations.
When packing his luggage, Jiang Yulou couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Shanghe Village, a small village where they have lived for many years, has left many good memories, but Yanjing, a city full of history and culture, has an irresistible attraction for the Jiang family.
After packing their luggage, the Jiang family left Shanghe Village and took a bus to Chang'an first, and then they boarded a train to Yanjing.
In addition to Jiang Yulou, Jiang Jianguo, Li Xiulian and Jiang Yuanchao are all taking the train for the first time. Excitement, curiosity, nervousness, humility and uneasiness.
Fortunately, Jiang Yulou was watching from the side, otherwise they wouldn't even dare to go to the bathroom and go to the toilet.
Watching the scenery outside the window pass quickly, Jiang Jianguo and Li Xiulian pointed out the window from time to time.
"Look, Yellow River!"
"Ah, the Yellow River, I didn't expect the river to be so shallow."
"Mom, now is the dry season of the Yellow River."
"Oh, that's right."
"They all say that the scenery outside is beautiful, and it is different from our small mountain village, so I don't think it's any different."
"Mom, after the train leaves the station, it runs far away from the city, and it's winter, what kind of scenery can I have."
Comrade Jiang didn't say so much, just looked at the scenery outside the window excitedly and greedily.
For him, a farmer who has been in Shanghe Village all his life, it is worth it to be able to take the train to Yanjing in his lifetime.
A day later, the old couple may be tired and not so excited, just sitting in the carriage and quietly enjoying this rare quiet time.
Their mood was the same as this journey, full of anticipation and a little uncertain.
However, the eldest brother Jiang Yuanchao gradually became nervous, and the number of times he asked Jiang Yulou also increased.
"Yulou, what can I do when I arrive in Yanjing?"
"Big brother, don't be anxious when you arrive in Yanjing. You and your parents will slow down for a while, take a good look at Yanjing City, eat and drink, and don't feel burdened. As for work, I have it. ”
"But ......" Jiang Yuanchao said embarrassedly: "Big brother, I don't know anything other than farm work, except for a lot of strength." ”
"Big brother, now Yanjing is engaged in construction everywhere, as long as you are down-to-earth and willing to work, there are many opportunities." Jiang Yulou said patiently.
Jiang Yuanchao nodded happily and said, "You are a college student, brother listens to you." ”
The journey after that was still quiet, and Jiang Yulou enjoyed this journey very much.
Finally, the train arrives in Yanjing, and the bustling crowd, the shouts from the crowd, the bells of bicycles, the honking of cars, and the towering buildings...... Jiang's family was blown away by the size and vibrancy of the city.
They are delighted by the rich history, cultural richness and bustling city.
Jiang Jianguo said excitedly: "Is this Yanjing?" Big, really big! ”
"Thanks to the Jade Tower, thanks to the Jade Tower." Li Xiulian kept chattering.
Jiang Yuanchao was also stunned, he had never seen so many people and so many new things.
Sure enough, if you stay in Shanghe Village all the time, I'm afraid you will always be a frog at the bottom of the well.
In the beginning, they were a little unfamiliar with the new environment, which is also human nature, even for later generations.
But soon, they'll be able to adapt to life here.
After all, the people of this era are still relatively simple, and there is not so much discrimination against rural people.
Jiang Yulou muttered to himself: "It's a pity that the money is still too little, otherwise I would buy a private car high and low." ”
It was inconvenient not to have a private car, so he had to squeeze the bus with his family.
The bus at the train station is really crowded.
There are people who come and go from the south to the north, and occasionally hearing the local voice of the hometown will make people feel a little kind.
After the family got off the bus in Goldfish Hutong, Jiang Yulou began to sweat on his forehead.
He pointed to the alley and said, "Mom, Dad, big brother, the house I bought is in the alley in front." ”
Jiang Yulou carried his luggage on his back and led the way in front.
Jiang Jianguo tightened the package on his body, protected his wife, and followed closely behind his youngest son.
Jiang Yuanchao walked at the end, his eyes looked at the four directions curiously, as if he felt new to see anything.
Soon, Jiang Yulou stopped in front of a mansion.
"Here, this is our house."
Jiang Yulou took out the key to open the door and said proudly.
After the old couple and the eldest entered the courtyard gate, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
"Too ...... So beautiful! ”
Although it is winter, the green plants have not yet been transplanted, but the workers have already begun to decorate the courtyard in the style of a Soviet-style garden.
Their surprise did not end, but grew more and more as they went deeper.
A courtyard house with a courtyard of nearly 800 square meters, they have never seen it in their lives.
There is not a single worker in the courtyard, and the renovation is over.
Due to the relationship of funds, the first phase of the project only renovated the courtyard, the master bedroom, the old couple and the eldest brother's room.
Furniture or something, there is no need to change it for the time being, it will be used for the first time, and when he is paid more in the future, it is not too late to change to a new one.
When Jiang Yulou allocated the room for the family to live in, his mother and eldest brother were very satisfied, and Comrade Jiang Jianguo even excitedly praised the house for being good, and Lou Wa had a heart.
"Mom, Dad, big brother, I'll have a treat in the evening, let's go out for a good meal."
"What to eat out, it's such a waste of money. I'll go to the kitchen first to see if it's better to eat at home. ”
Jiang Yulou originally proposed that the family go to Donglaishun to eat hot pot, but his mother disagreed.
After Comrade Li Xiulian put down her luggage, she found the kitchen with her memory. After turning around, she came back and said, "Let's eat at home today, Yulou will go to the market to buy some vegetables, and my mother will cook for you." ”
Jiang Jianguo and Jiang Yuanchao, father and son, did not object to Jiang Yulou's proposal, they heard Jiang Yulou mention Donglaishun's hot pot from time to time when they were in Shanghe Village, and they had long been hungry.
However, if you want to eat out, there is an opportunity, and in comparison, it is Li Xiulian's opinion that deserves their attention.
In this family, Comrade Li Xiulian's right to speak is still very heavy.
In desperation, Jiang Yulou could only go to the market to buy vegetables as required.
So, one night in Yanjing, the Jiang family had a reunion dinner in the courtyard of Goldfish Hutong.
The meal was warm and delicious, and Jiang Yulou felt the warmth and happiness of home.
