Early the next morning, Wang Ye and five young men drove three pickup trucks and set off.

In the bucket of the pickup truck, it was filled with all kinds of dim sum and dry goods, two pots and other things, which were all to be taken back to visit relatives, as for Wang Ye's parents, they didn't need it, because when the time came, they would go back to the consortium directly for the New Year, and there was no need to stock up on any New Year's goods.

As for why you brought five lads, the reason is simpler, and that is the issue of safety.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the pickup truck was running on the plains of North China, the warm sunlight shone in through the car glass, looking at the familiar picture of the northern winter around him, which inexplicably made Wang Ye feel a little homesick.

After returning to this era, there is only one reason why Wang Ye is not in a hurry to go home to visit his parents, that is, in the time and space where Wang Ye once returned, when Wang Ye himself was old, his parents were still alive and well, and at some times, he felt that the legs and feet of the second elder were sharper than himself.

Even his old father often dislikes himself, sitting in the office for a day, not getting up to exercise at all, which is not good for the body, because staying up late in the morning and not getting up in the morning and not exercising in the morning, he will not be able to live as an old man and the like, in short, he can still be scolded by his father and cared for by his mother at the time of seventy, which is a very happy thing.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye couldn't help but sigh.

If parallel time and space really exist, then in the time and space where I returned, with my own rebirth, I'm afraid that body has "died", right? In the end, I really responded to my father's words, I haven't lived my father and mother who are over 90 years old, I'm afraid they should be very, very sad, right?

In Wang Ye's sighs, the time gradually reached noon.

The convoy did not choose to park, in this era of unfamiliar areas, and did not pass through any towns such as county seats, parking to find a place to eat is not a good choice, and various uncontrollable situations may occur, so Wang Ye and the young men chose to eat dry food casually in the car.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy finally left Jizhou Province around Yanjing and officially entered Shanjin Province, the most obvious sign is that the surrounding mountains began to become more and more numerous, and there were winding roads everywhere, and the road conditions became difficult, which led to a great reduction in driving speed.

It wasn't until five o'clock in the evening that the pickup truck finally came to the entrance of the village in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Wang Ye's family is located in Gushu Village, a suburb in the southwest of Tianxia City, Shanjin Province, the name of the village comes from a big tree on the hillside behind the village, which is said to have appeared since the Ming Dynasty, and further west and north in Gushu Village, it is currently one of the largest coal production bases in China, the coal mining area of Tianxia City, also called "mining area" locally.

In this mining area, there are more than a dozen coal mines of all sizes densely distributed, until more than 40 years later, several of them still maintain a high production capacity, supply a large amount of coal to the motherland every year, and the excavated coal directly through the railway, all the way to the east to Qinhuangdao City, and then transfer to the south, and finally become a part of the power grid.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Wang Ye looked at the power plant in the distance, and a large "white cloud" floated out of the condensation tower, which was dyed golden by the setting sun.

"Huh? What kind of car is this? Looks weird! ”

"I don't know, why don't you even have a color, did you forget to spray paint?"

"Look! Who is in the car? They all look young, why did they come to our village? ”

"I don't know, who knows? Let's go home for dinner! ”

"Huh? In that car, was it not Principal Chen's kid sitting there? ”

"Wang Ye? Let me see, hey! It's really Wang Ye! ”

"Oops! Lao Wang is terrible! Now there is a curse! It's all on board! Wang Ye has worked this year, right? ”

"Yes, I remember saying at the brigade meeting before, I worked this year!"

When the three cars drove into the village, all the way to the process of driving, there are constantly villagers curious to look and look, after all, in this era, the car is still a rare thing, for the villagers living near the mining area, although the truck is not rare, but such a strange-looking car, is still very curious.

Besides, Gushu Village does not belong to the mining area, and the whole is relatively "bland", and it is rare for outsiders to come, but now there are suddenly three strange cars, and it is normal for everyone to watch it!

But it didn't matter if they looked at it this way, and suddenly everyone found that the person sitting in the car was actually Wang Ye, the first college student in this ancient tree village!

For a while, the whole village was in a sensation!

Meanwhile.

The pickup truck also drove directly to the open space in front of Wang Ye's house, and next door to Wang Ye's house is the only Gushu Primary School in the entire Gushu Village, Wang Ye's mother is the principal of this primary school, counting Wang Ye's mother, this school has a total of six teachers, with grades one to five, and there is no sixth grade, because it is a five-year system.

As for Wang Ye's father, he worked in the mine, and when he was in his thirties, he was injured in the mine, so he transferred to the office to work, and he was generally called "Accountant Wang" in the village, but in fact, the work he did had nothing to do with the accountant, just because Wang Ye's father was very good at living a good life and was very calculating.

"Daddy! Mother! I am back! ”

After getting out of the car, Wang Ye directly pushed open the wooden courtyard door, and then shouted in the courtyard, as expected, there was no response, so Wang Ye came directly to the root of the west wall of the courtyard, stepped on the chicken coop and looked at the next door, next door is the courtyard of the primary school, covering an area of at least two acres, and then shouted:

"Mom! I am back! ”

This time, I finally had a reaction, and I saw that in the courtyard of the elementary school, at the door of a certain office in a row of bungalows facing north and south, a middle-aged woman with short hair pushed open the door and probed out, and after seeing Wang Ye, her eyes lit up, and then she couldn't help laughing out loud, and at the same time said in surprise:

"Xiao Ye! Xiao Ye, are you back? Why did you come back? ”

"The shuttle has already returned!"

At that moment, looking at his mother whose hair was still black, hearing her say this, Wang Ye, who was originally just full of excitement and happiness, almost couldn't hold back!

Because in normal history, when I was thirty years old, my parents followed me to live in Yanjing, and then I talked about the old things of adulthood, that is, in the years when I was in college and working, every time I was in college or summer, or during any holiday, my mother would always go to the village from time to time to wait for the shuttle bus to see if she was back.

At that time, I was busy with work and never noticed this, and occasionally came back by bus, and saw my mother waiting on the side of the road, which was just a coincidence, after all, she was not only the principal of the primary school, but also the director of the women's federation of the brigade.

Now I found out that this was not the case, she was just silently watching the shuttle, looking forward to her son coming home.

"Hey! Now that your son is the factory director, what kind of shuttle bus do you take? ”

"That's a drive, of course! Where's my dad? Is my dad still in the mines? ”

In the end, Wang Ye forcibly held back the tears that almost rushed out, and said with a smile and a slightly exaggerated expression, as if showing off something, and Wang Ye's mother had already walked over from the door of the office, stood at the base of the wall and looked up at Wang Ye, looked at it seriously and then said with a smile:

"Your father is in the brigade, and he said that he was discussing something about twisting Yangge during the New Year."

"Oops! It looks like I've eaten well, and I'm a lot fatter than when I left in the spring! ”

Facing his mother's emotion, Wang Ye grinned and said:

"Of course, I'm the factory director, I eat and drink spicy food every day, can I not get fat?"

In fact, Wang Ye's fat can't be said to have nothing to do with being the factory director, but in fact, it doesn't have much to do with it, the main reason is that in the season of sticking autumn fat, he went to Saudi Arabia, and then roasted whole sheep there every day to eat, although he lost a little weight after coming back, he didn't lose weight completely, so he looked a little fatter, not like he used to be lean.

"Tsk! It seems that this factory director is doing a good job, huh? ”

"Still driving back? It's thousands of kilometers back from Luzi Province, right? How did you drive it back? ”

Regarding his mother's question, Wang Ye pointed to the door without thinking and said:

"Let's go! Mom, I'll show you my car and take you for two laps! ”

"Aren't you going to drive a big truck? Let you try the car! ”

Wang Ye's father is a native of Gushu Village, but Wang Ye's mother is not.

Wang Ye's mother is a native of Haicheng City, Liaoshen Province, because she had studied secondary school, she was assigned to work in the steel mill in Ansan, and then because of the order of the state, she was transferred to work in the mining area of Tianxia City with the team, and finally was pursued by Wang Ye's father, and after getting married, she was transferred to work in the children's school in the mining area, and later Wang Ye's father was injured in an accident, in order to take care of Wang Ye, after the coordination in the mine, he returned to the school in the village, and finally became the principal a few years later.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Ye's mother is still quite strong, quite the temperament of a Northeast woman, in a sense, she is a female comrade who can hold up half the sky, she is very neat in her work, and she can even drive a big truck!

"Okay!"

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Wang Ye's mother was not the slightest polite.

When the two of them walked out of the yard and came to the open space in front of them, the crowd of onlookers was not fifty but thirty, especially all kinds of children and young people, looking at the three pickup trucks in front of them, their eyes were full of curiosity and longing, after all, this was a unique car they had never seen before!

And when the two of them walked out, there was a noise at the scene!

"Teacher Chen, Xiao Ye is promising now!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Look at this car! I came back with bodyguards, five! ”

"Shhh Xiao Ye, where do you work now? Where did the state assign you? ”

"Xiao Ye, what kind of car is this? We haven't seen each other before! ”

"Hahaha! Principal Chen, the child has grown up, it's time to tell the matchmaker! ”

"Phew! People are college students, where do you go to tell people about matchmaking? Who is worthy of this girl in these ten miles and eight towns? ”

"You can't say that, free love is popular now, what is not worthy?"

In the hustle and bustle of the scene, Wang Ye smiled helplessly, feeling that when to get married on a blind date and marry a wife, it is a topic that will never be outdated, and now, in another forty years, this problem will always be unavoidable when returning to his hometown!

"Come, come, come! Everybody eats sugar! ”

In the end, Wang Ye shouted like this, and suddenly there was a cheer of children, overpowering the sound of adults gossiping, and at the same time, Wang Ye and two young men with inch heads, holding a bag of candy, began to give out to the people around them, these things were originally prepared in advance and used to carry out this process.

With the candy to eat, the scene finally quieted down a lot, and I saw an uncle laughing:

"Xiao Ye! What kind of car is this? ”

"It's not like a jeep, it's not like a car! Looks weird! ”

Faced with this question, in the curious eyes of everyone, Wang Ye said with a smile:

"It's called a pickup truck, and it's a passenger and cargo vehicle."

"In the past, our cars were either jeeps and cars, mainly for people, or all kinds of trucks and trucks, which were used to pull goods."

"And a pickup truck is a car that can not only seat people, but also pull goods!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden sound of realization at the scene, in fact, not to mention the people in the village, even if it was Wang Ye's parents, they didn't know what Wang Ye was doing now, when Wang Ye contacted his family, he only said that he worked in Luqi Province and was the director of the factory, and he did not mention any specific unit.

And Wang Ye's parents are also quite knowledgeable and know what may involve confidentiality, so they generally don't ask, but they just care about whether Wang Ye eats well, sleeps well, and whether he has met the girl he likes.

"Come on! Mom, I'll take you two laps! ”

"Let you feel it."

Then Wang Ye smiled and said to his mother, Wang Ye's mother's real name is Chen Ying, when she was young, the villagers called her "Yingzi", and later when she was older, everyone called her Teacher Chen or Principal Chen.

Regarding Wang Ye's invitation, Wang Ye's mother nodded with interest.

At this moment, only a child's voice was heard:

"Uncle Xiao Ye, I want to take the car too!"

When this voice sounded, Wang Ye turned his head to look over, it was a seven or eight-year-old boy, of course Wang Ye would not refuse this, nodded with a smile and said:

"Yes, get in the car!"

As soon as Wang Ye said this, the children present glanced at each other, and then a chattering voice sounded:

"Brother Ye, can I sit?"

"The new clothes I wore today, they won't get dirty!"

"Yes, I can do without shoes!"

"Uncle Xiao Ye, just let me sit down!"

"This car looks amazing!"

Faced with the praise of a group of children, Wang Ye couldn't resist it at all, and finally could only say with a smile:

"Good, good! Yes, let's take our turns! ”

"One by one!"

Then the open space at the door directly turned into a test site, until Wang Ye's father came back from the brigade and saw this scene at the door of the house.

"Hah! Son, are you back? When did you come back? ”

"Go, go, go! It's dark, it's almost six o'clock! Hurry home and eat! ”

With the voice of Wang Ye's father, the people on the scene dispersed in the end, and soon they all left, leaving only a family of three and the five young men.

"Summer asked you to come back, you said you were busy, not coming back."

"When I came back this time, I didn't take a telegram in advance, so I came back suddenly, and I brought people with me."

"There's nothing to prepare at home, I'll kill two chickens!"

Wang Ye's father's name is Wang Jianghai, although the place where he was born has neither a river nor a sea, he complained two words in his mouth at the moment, but his face was happy, and he walked to the chicken nest at the root of the wall.

That night, Wang Jianghai pieced together and made two tables of sumptuous meals, the reason why it was two tables was very simple, there was no big table at home that could accommodate so many people, so it could only be divided into two tables to eat.

"Dad, mother, I'm coming back this time to pick you up, let's go to our factory for the New Year."

"In the past, you must have been more curious about our factory, so this time I will take you over to see what your son has been doing for so long."

When the meal was almost over, Wang Ye brought up this matter, and Wang Ye's mother said without thinking:

"Good! I've wanted to check it out for a long time! ”

"I'm still thinking, if you don't come back for the New Year, when you wait for the summer vacation next year, I will carry my luggage, carry my bag, take the shuttle, and then reverse the train, and go to Luqi Province to see what you are doing, and I won't go home!"

Wang Ye could only laugh at this, but Wang Ye's father thought more, and said hesitantly:

"This trip has to cost a lot of money, right? Even if it's a playboy's, it's not good! ”

"Besides, if we go, we have to be entertained by the factory, is this appropriate?"

Facing his father's worries, Wang Ye smiled and said:

"The truth is so, but I'm very busy with work now, and I'm also taking the time to come back this time, if you don't go to Luqi Province with me for the New Year, then I can only celebrate the New Year alone."

"Besides, our factory has this policy, and if family members can accompany it, it is not a violation."

In the end, Wang Ye's father hesitated, and after thinking for a few seconds, he nodded slowly and said:

"Okay, then go!"

Wang Ye's mother has no relatives here, Wang Ye's grandmother's family is from Liaoshen Province, Wang Ye's father is one of the four brothers and sisters, Wang Ye's father is the third, his grandfather has passed away a long time ago, and now he only has his grandmother, and he doesn't live with his brothers, and now he lives alone, so Wang Ye's parents have no substantial difficulties in going to find their son for the New Year.

After dinner, relatives and friends kept coming to visit the door.

That night, sleeping on the hot kang head of his own home, Wang Ye was exceptionally comfortable.

Early the next morning, when Wang Ye had just gotten up and was brushing his teeth, he heard the sound of a car engine "rumbling" in the distance, and just when Wang Ye was puzzled, Wang Ye's uncle hurriedly walked in, glanced at Wang Ye with a rather strange expression, and then said in a low voice:

"The leaders of the city, the leaders of the mining area, and the leaders of the mine are here!"
