Chapter 108: Yijin Returns Home
Han Chunlei had taken a telegram with his family before, and he was scheduled to leave Shenzhen on the afternoon of the 26th, and he would arrive home at noon on the 28th of the lunar month.
So in a few days, the whole Chaijiawu knew that Han Chunlei arrived home at noon on the twenty-eighth day of the month.
Now the people in the village know that the Han family kid is capable in Shenzhen, and when he returns to Chaijiawu, he will definitely have to smoke and sugar.
So at noon that day, Han Chunlei hadn't arrived home yet, but the courtyard of their house was already full of many villagers.
It was bustling outside the yard.
Mao Yuzhen's hall is also lively.
A group of women from Chaijiawu sat around Mao Yuzhen.
"Our Chai Jiawu, if you want to say that life is the best, you have to belong to Yuzhen's sister-in-law's family!"
"Isn't it? My son is making a lot of money in Shenzhen, and my daughter is helping at home, and the days are getting more and more prosperous! Look at this newly built big house, with red bricks, green tiles, and cement floors, it's a scorpion in our Chaijiawu -- it's the only one!"
"I heard that the old Wu family and the Zhanshui family at the entrance of the village have followed the Han family boy to get a lot of light!"
"If our family has three lives, we can also follow the spring thunder, then there will be hope for that little day!"
"I don't know if Chun Tao said it, my mother's family has a nephew who is about the same age as Chun Tao......
"Chunfeng, this kid has been going to school since he hit school, and he also looks handsome, huh?"
"Let's talk about it, among the women in Chai Jiawu, it belongs to Yuzhen's sister-in-law's fate!"
......
In the courtyard, a group of women from Chaijiawu surrounded Mao Yuzhen, picking up and talking nicely.
However, although it is a good thing to say, they can't fake their envy of Mao Yuzhen.
After all, they're all women.
They first saw that Mao Yuzhen's family had built a new big house, and then they saw Boss Cao, who came from the commune before, and gave Mao Yuzhen's family a housewarming gift with a large bag.
Recently, they saw the old Wu family and Han Zhanshui's family again, because they made a lot of money because they carried tea for Han Chunlei!
They don't know how much money they earned, and they won't say anything about the two families.
However, the changes in the two families are visible to the women of the whole village.
The old Wu family bought a new fourteen-inch black and white TV!
Han Zhanshui's family just bought a four-speaker radio!
If it weren't for Han Chunlei making a lot of money, would he be able to spend so much money to buy large items?
While they are envious, they also regret it!
If he also encouraged the men in his own family at the beginning, don't be afraid of any speculation, amplify his courage a little, and also carry tea for Han Chunlei, how good would it be?
As for Mao Yuzhen, who was starry by a group of old ladies.
The brain is still sober, and it is not because of their flattery and flattery that he can't find the north.
However, she was still quite relieved in her heart, you must know that it was also this group of obedient women who bullied her in the village.
When the children were young, they said that she, Mao Yuzhen, a widow, hooked up with a man in the village.
Later, when the children were older, they made irresponsible remarks, saying that it was difficult for her to have a difficult birth, which delayed Chun Tao's marriage.
Now it's a good thing, some of them actually want to introduce their nephew to marry Chun Tao.
Don't marry!
My family's Chun Tao doesn't marry this kind of family.
After chatting with this group of old ladies for a while, Mao Yuzhen looked up at the newly bought quartz clock hanging on the wall, and shouted, "Chun Tao, it's past eleven o'clock, why hasn't your brother arrived home yet?"
Mao Yuzhen called Han Chuntao's name while walking out of the hall and into the courtyard.
At this time, there are three tables in the courtyard, on which are placed fruit candy, peanuts, melon seeds, and a plate of loose cigarettes, for the guests to grab at will.
At this time, dozens of men, women, and children in the courtyard had already filled these three tables, and the courtyard was almost out of place.
Mao Yuzhen's face changed slightly, and she scolded secretly, are these people here to eat Tiannian?
"Sister-in-law Yuzhen, your capable Han Chunlei is coming back!"
"Sister Yuzhen, our baby is here to help you watch at the entrance of the village!"
"Yuzhen, can you let Tao'er bring a few more plates of melon seeds? β
"Why don't I have a feast at your house at night!"
......
The villagers said a word, and the yard was very lively.
At this momentβ
Didi~~
Didi~~
Several car horns honked from outside the courtyard.
"Spring Thunder has arrived!"
"Brother Chunlei is back!"
"Come out and see, Chunlei is coming back in a car!"
"What a car, that's called a turtle car!"
"What kind of turtle is it, it's a car that can run by itself anyway, isn't it?"
"Sister Yuzhen, your spring thunder is back!"
......
"It's coming, it's coming. Peach, your brother is back!"
Mao Yuzhen greeted Han Chuntao and hurriedly trotted over to the gate of the courtyard.
Han Chuntao, Han Zhanshui, Lao Wu and a group of villagers also followed closely behind.
When Mao Yuzhen went to the gate, it was indeed her son who came back.
Thin and tall, with a high nose bridge, thick eyebrows and big eyes, I haven't seen him for seven or eight months, this kid has grown taller and more handsome.
Mao Yuzhen was wearing Han Chunlei's bright leather shoes on his feet and a yellow tweed coat.
Down!
Decent!
At first glance, it is a man who broke into the dock in the big city outside and did a big thing!
My son really gives his mother a long face!
"Chunlei, are you going home......" Mao Yuzhen, who has always been spicy, opened her mouth and had a sour nose.
"Mom! I'm home!"
The mother and son reunited after a long absence, and Han Chunlei's heart couldn't help but feel a little sour.
In this era, communication was inconvenient, and for eight months there was no contact with home except for telegrams.
At first glance, it was really moving.
Han Chunlei's eyes were slightly red, and suddenly he found that there were so many guests inside and outside the gate.
It's not appropriate to stand at the gate of the courtyard like this now.
So he put away his emotions and said to Mao Yuzhen: "Mom, I brought some gifts for you, my sister and brother, and the villagers! Everyone took a hand and helped me write down the gifts from the car and move them into the courtyard, so that the master could go back." β
Mao Yuzhen's face suddenly turned pale, and she scolded in a low voice: "Why are you so arrogant?
Han Chunlei smiled and didn't explain.
But the villagers at the gate said:
"Even we have gifts? Chunlei is so generous!"
"Chunlei really made a fortune outside, and he doesn't forget the villagers!"
"Yes, yes, this thought is rare, Chunlei, this baby, is very benevolent and righteous. β
"His father Han Youzhong was a well-known honest and kind-hearted person in Chaijiawu back then!
......
The villagers were elated and helped the tricycle unload.
Han Chunlei settled the account for the driver's master by five yuan, two cents more than agreed, and the driver's master also happily drove away on three wheels.
"Isn't it almost the New Year? I have prepared some New Year's goods for everyone. A pound of white sugar for a family, a bag of bumper harvest. It's not worth much, don't dislike it. Han Chunlei entered the courtyard again, looked at the expectant eyes of the villagers, and squatted down with a smile to untie a bag of woven bags.
Although it is not too expensive, it is definitely a meeting gift that can be handled.
White sugar is an affordable thing in rural people's homes! It can be used to make sugar packets, make sugar water, and fry jelly beans, and it can be used for the New Year.
Big harvest cigarettes, a dime and a box, are not expensive, but for the villagers who smoke handrolls on weekdays, one pack per person, it is very beautiful!
In an instant, a circle of villagers gathered around Han Chunlei, and they squeezed Mao Yuzhen and Han Chuntao to the periphery.
"Hey, what are you squeezing? This is my home!" Mao Yuzhen pulled the crooked clothes and said angrily.
Han Chunlei hurriedly commanded: "Don't worry, everyone, every family has a share." You go to Uncle Zhanshui first to register, and then you can receive sugar and cigarettes. Don't worry, it's all there. If you don't come, you can also bring a message, and let the spring breeze send it over tomorrow. In short, every family has it. β
The villagers, one after another, registered in Han Zhanshui, then received sugar and cigarettes, and went home happily, and everyone along the way said that Han Chunlei was good.
When the things were almost received and the people were almost gone, Han Chunlei found that there was another person who did not leave after receiving the sugar and cigarettes, but squatted in the yard and smoked cigarettes, without any intention of leaving.
This man is an accountant.
Han Chunlei walked over and asked, "Uncle Yu, is this ...... Looking for me?"
