After the meal, the women cleared away the dishes together while the men sat and chatted.
"Counting the time, we haven't been back for another year, and we don't know how our family is doing." Zhou Chaoyang sighed.
"Haha, you can go back tomorrow. When you go back, there will be plenty of time for you to sigh." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Hey, I guess when I go back this time, my family will press me to get married again." Zhou Chaoyang sighed, feeling a little troubled.
He was still a child himself and had no desire to get married.
For him, getting married meant taking on more responsibilities that he wasn't ready for.
He yearns for a free life and wants to continue to enjoy the pleasant time in Dabazi Village, hunting and playing with his friends, instead of being bound by marriage.
"Chaoyang, you are not young anymore. It is normal for your family to urge you."
Zhou Ziwen patted him on the shoulder and said, "However, getting married still depends on your own ideas. If you don't meet the right person, you can't force it."
"Brother Ziwen, you put it lightly, but my parents don't think so. They just hope that I will start a family and start a business soon and give them a grandson." Zhou Chaoyang shook his head helplessly.
"Haha, then just talk to them and tell them your thoughts."
Zhou Ziwen said with a smile, "Or, you can also try to get to know some girls, maybe you can meet the one you like."
"I don't want them. Those girls are too delicate. I can't stand them."
Zhou Chaoyang frowned and said, "I still like girls like us who are carefree and can endure hardships."
"Haha, your requirements are a bit high." Zhou Ziwen joked, "But who can say for sure about fate, it might suddenly come one day."
At this time, the women came over after clearing the dishes. Chen Qiaoyi smiled and said: "What are you talking about, are you so happy?"
"Nothing, just talking about going home." Zhou Ziwen replied.
"Yeah, I'm going back tomorrow, and I'm really reluctant to leave." Shen Zhaodi said with emotion.
"What are you reluctant to give up? It's not like we won't come back." Tang Yaoyao said with a smile, "When we come back, this will still be our home."
"Yes, we will continue to work hard to make Dabazi Village better." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
Everyone nodded, their hearts filled with expectations for the future.
Although they are about to leave, they know that Dabazi Village has become an indispensable part of their lives, and they will definitely come back and continue to contribute to the development here.
That night, everyone went to bed early to recharge for tomorrow's journey.
Zhou Ziwen was lying on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
Every detail of his time in Dabazi Village kept reappearing in his mind. From the hardships when he first arrived to the better and better life now, he was filled with emotion.
At the same time, he was also looking forward to returning home. He didn't know how his family would react when they saw what he looked like now.
Early the next morning, before dawn, everyone got up.
Zhou Ziwen moved the luggage to the yard and checked it carefully again.
Zhou Chaoyang, Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao also came over one after another.
Everyone's faces were full of excitement and anticipation, but also a hint of reluctance to say goodbye.
"Are you all ready?" Zhou Ziwen asked.
"Okay." Everyone replied in unison.
Zhou Ziwen picked up little Yueyue, Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying took their luggage, and they all walked towards the entrance of the village.
Wu Dagang, the team leader and some villagers were already waiting at the entrance of the village to see them off.
"Have a safe journey!" Wu Dagang shouted.
"Thank you everyone, we will be back soon." Zhou Ziwen responded loudly. They got on the bullock cart and set off for the county seat.
Along the way, little Yueyue looked at the scenery on the roadside curiously and exclaimed from time to time.
Zhou Ziwen looked at the familiar scenery around him and thought to himself: I will definitely come back to Dabazi Village.
When we arrived at the county railway station, the station was crowded.
Zhou Ziwen and others found the waiting room and waited to get on the bus. Little Yueyue ran around in the waiting room, full of curiosity about everything around her.
Finally, the train slowly entered the station, everyone lined up to get on the train and found their sleeper seats.
Zhou Ziwen put away his luggage and carried little Yueyue to the berth.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying were sitting next to them, sorting out small items.
Zhou Chaoyang, Shen Zhaodi and Tang Yaoyao were in the next door berth, also settling in.
The train started slowly and took them home.
Zhou Ziwen looked at the receding scenery outside the window with mixed feelings in his heart.
He looked forward to being reunited with his family and missed Dabazi Village.
This trip home will be a new beginning, and he believes that the future will be even better.
The train was running smoothly on the rails, and a complex atmosphere filled the carriage.
Little Yueyue was tired from playing, so she lay on the berth and gradually fell asleep, with a sweet smile on her face, maybe she was dreaming.
Chen Qiaoyi gently stroked little Yueyue's hair, her eyes full of love.
Chen Shiying looked out the window and said softly: "I don't know what my parents are doing now. Are they also looking forward to our return?"
Zhou Ziwen held her hand and said: "They must miss us very much. We must accompany them well when we go back this time."
Zhou Chaoyang shouted from the berth next door: "Brother Ziwen, when we return to Sijiu City, let's find a time to get together. Then call everyone."
"Okay, no problem." Zhou Ziwen responded.
Shen Zhaodi said with a smile: "When I go back this time, I'm going to go shopping in the mall and buy some beautiful clothes."
Tang Yaoyao also said excitedly: "I'm going to eat all kinds of delicious food. It's been a long time since I tasted the taste of my hometown."
Everyone was talking about their plans after returning home, and the car was filled with laughter and laughter.
However, behind the laughter, there is a reluctance for Dabazi Village in everyone's heart.
The train sped along, passing through cities and villages.
As he got closer to Forty-Nine City, Zhou Ziwen became more and more excited.
He thought of his parents, brothers and sisters at home, and the good times he had spent together.
Finally, the train arrived at Sijiucheng Railway Station. Zhou Ziwen and others got out of the car with excitement and set foot on this familiar land.
Little Yueyue looked at everything around her curiously and held Zhou Ziwen's hand tightly.
Zhou Chaoyang looked at the crowded crowd at the exit and sighed: "I'm finally home, and it still feels so homely here."
Zhou Ziwen took a deep breath and said: "Let's go home first."
They each took their luggage and walked towards their homes.
Zhou Ziwen hugged little Yueyue and walked towards home with Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying.
Along the way, he saw many familiar streets and buildings, and his heart was filled with emotion. (End of chapter)
