Chen Xingbang avoided several villagers without any danger, and arrived at Li Lou without letting Chen Changgui and others see him.
Here, after Li Qingxia listened to Li Xia tell the story in the yard, he was so angry that he cursed Chen Changgui for not being a human being, and was angry that he was blind before marrying this family.
Li Xia hurriedly distinguished Chen Xingbang:
"Dad, Xingbang is different from his father..."
"I know they are different. If they are the same, I can still tolerate it. With you two together?”
In the past two days, Li Qingxia has almost taken care of things at home. The yard was entrusted to Li Junfeng to take care of, and some of his own land was also given to him for farming. Li Qingxia didn't want the grain he harvested, as it was considered the cost of looking after the yard.
Li Junfeng is very happy to do this. Although he has a family and a family and cannot go to Northern Xinjiang, he knows that it is easy to make money there, and his brother-in-law Li Long is very capable. It is always a good thing to be able to establish a relationship with them.
Li Junfeng already knew that Li Junshan had joined the Jian'an Company and became a formal worker, and he still regretted it when he dreamed about it at midnight. But it's too late to say regret now.
While Li Qingxia was cleaning up the yard, Li Junshan's father came over, called his uncle, and asked about Li Junshan's situation. Li Junshan sent money and sent telegrams to his family, but his family did not know the specific situation.
Li Qingxia told in detail how Li Long sent Li Anguo and Li Junshan to the construction and installation company in Kuitun. He spoke with a proud tone. After all, this matter was arranged by Li Long from beginning to end. of.
Li Junshan's father, Li Xingguo, also quietly told Li Qingxia that the political review letter sent back by Li Anguo's unit was made by a few boys from the brigade and said a lot of bad things.
“What a coward!” Li Qingxia yelled angrily, but then laughed again:
“They think this can ruin Anguo’s affairs? Bullshit! People have to look at the actual performance. ! Anguo Good job there, now it’s official work, make them jealous!”
Li Qingxia went to pile up soil on the ancestral grave, cleared the grass, burned ten knives of yellow paper, and put it away! A thousand firecrackers.
There are many people in this village who roll their own cigarettes during the Chinese New Year. Li Qingxia can also roll cigarettes, but he doesn’t have the time right now, so he goes to the sales department to buy them.
Everyone in the village knew that the old man was back, and many people followed him. After all, if the old man himself was counted, all his blood relatives had gone to Northern Xinjiang.
But counting up one generation, he is the boss of the branch, and other branches are still in the village.
A generation older, there are more people in the village.
In fact, the ancestral graves of his branch were separated from him three generations ago. Otherwise, there will be no place to bury the ancestors. This is a big tomb from the third generation up to the bottom, branching downwards, forming a large triangle.
This ancestral grave is in Li Qingxia’s own land, so he doesn’t worry about anything else. In fact, this was taken into consideration when the areas were divided, and a special greeting was given to the team headquarters. Other people can understand, so we just do it.
After rounding the grave, burning the paper, setting off cannons, and explaining to his ancestors, Li Qingxia could go to Northern Xinjiang with peace of mind. Just come back once or twice a year in the next year.
When Li Xia came over, he had already finished the work. After listening to Li Xia explain the matter, Li Qingxia thought to himself that Chen Xingbang was still reliable, otherwise this matter would never be over!
When Chen Xingbang came over, Li Xia meant to leave after dinner, and Li Qingxia was a little embarrassed. There was only a cold pot and a cold stove at home, so he had been eating together for the past two days. If he really wanted to eat, he would have to put in a lot of effort.
"Why bother?" Chen Xingbang waved his hand: "Let's go directly to the county and eat in the county!"
He is very heroic, Li Qingxia is not bad either, his son-in-law is so As soon as he said it, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile:
"Zhongzhong, go to the county to eat! I'm going to treat you to a meal, so Hongqin has to have a good meal! Hongqin, let's go to the county field today"
"I want to eat meat!" Hongqin boldly said Said.
"Okay, just eat meat. You can eat as much as you want!" Li Qingxia thought about the grandchildren in Northern Xinjiang. Even Xue Ping and Xue Qin who came later have grown white. She is fat and has a red face, but Hongqin looks thin and small right now.
I feel so sad.
Li Qingxia originally wanted to wait, but now that Chen Xingbang is here and the work is done, let's go.
The whole family walked out of the village together. People in the village greeted and asked, and Li Qingxia also said he was going back to Northern Xinjiang.
Those people are just envious. Looking at the old man's mental state, he doesn't look like a man in his sixties? But it's much better than in this village.
Li Xia held the child, and Li Qingxia took it over. Chen Xingbang and Li Xia carried their bags and walked and chatted together towards the countryside.
Li Qingxia was walking in front and talking to Hongqin about the latest news in Northern Xinjiang. Li Xia asked Chen Xingbang in a low voice:
"Shall we pay for dinner later? Can daddy have the money?" ”
"You must underestimate dad." Chen Xingbang said with a smile:
"Xia Tian, dad and a friend of Xiaolong in the village catch fish together, and they can earn twenty or thirty that day! Let me tell you, Dad has a lot of money. The eldest brother Xiaolong has bought everything at home, and he has nothing to spend money on. There is no playing cards in the village, so he saves all his money."
Li Xia. I feel relieved. It costs a lot of money to have an all-you-can-eat meat meal.
An hour later, they stopped a car in the township and rushed to the next door Yongcheng County - this county is relatively far from the township, so it is better to take the train in the next county.
Near the train station, four people ordered two plates of braised pork. They didn’t eat much rice and all of them were meat.
Hongqin ate a bowl by herself—it scared Li Qingxia. It’s not that it’s not enough, it’s mainly because I’m afraid of spoiling my stomach. No matter how delicious it is, it won’t be easy to digest if you eat too much!
It is also easy to talk, saying that you can eat braised pork every day in the future in northern Xinjiang - this is not a trick. With Chen Xingbang's current situation, it is really easy to achieve braised pork every day.
Hongqin fell asleep after eating. Li Xia hugged her while Chen Xingbang bought a ticket for the evening. They had nothing to do in the afternoon, but they were in no mood to hang around here. They just wanted to get on the train quickly and rush to Northern Xinjiang.
At this time, neither Chen Xingbang nor Li Qingxia realized that they had actually regarded the two courtyards in Northern Xinjiang as their real home.
I finally stayed up till night, bought something to eat before getting on the train, and had another meal. This time Hongqin didn’t ask for meat. After getting on the train, I found my seat and settled down, and then I started to look forward to it.
The next day, people who got up early suddenly discovered that Niu Weiguo appeared in Chen Xingbang's yard, tinkering there and cleaning out some unnecessary things.
The neighbor stepped forward curiously and asked:
"Weiguo, what are you doing?"
"Clean up the house." Niu Weiguo and his wife had two faces Everyone is smiling, this is their own home. Although it is not a brick house, it has an independent yard, which is much better than the one room in the yard of the brick house.
"Isn't this Xingbang's home? Why are you cleaning it up?" The neighbor couldn't understand it at once.
"Xingbang sold it to me." Niu Weiguo explained with a smile. Anyway, Chen Xingbang said it would be one day, so he would have already left by train, right?
"What? He moved away?"
"No, the whole family has gone to Northern Xinjiang."
The news soon spread throughout the village, Chen Changgui I don’t know if he’s in the field, so he pretends to be uncomfortable and stays at home. Chen Qiangguo, the youngest son of Chen Qiangguo, heard the news from his neighbor. He didn’t feel uncomfortable anymore and ran quickly to the fields. When he saw Chen Changgui, he shouted:
"Dad! Dad! My brother is taking the My sister-in-law ran away!”
"Run away? Where did he go?" Chen Changgui asked.
"Where else can I run? I've gone to Northern Xinjiang!"
"It's good to run away. Aren't the yard and the land ours now?" Shen Yujuan took over the conversation on the ground. , said with a smile.
“Sold!” Chen Qiangguo cried sadly.
"What was sold?" Chen Changgui asked hurriedly.
"Yard! Land! All sold!"
"Sold to whom? Go to him! Who dares to buy?" Shen Yujuan was not someone to be trifled with, so she stood up immediately.
"Niu Weiguo!" Chen Qiangguo didn't dare to cause trouble, so he said with a face, "They are cleaning up in the yard!"
"Why don't you go after your brother?" Chen Changgui said. I heard it was sold to Niu Wei Country, so I really dare to look for it, there are three brothers in the family!
“My brother left yesterday!” Chen Qiangguo said. “Yesterday, my sister-in-law took the children to Li Lou first. In fact, she just wanted to leave. My brother went to the team headquarters to stamp his seal, saying that he would go there in the future. Become a worker!”
"Be a worker? Where can I be a worker?" Chen Changgui was struck in the head. This was beyond his expectation.
“I don’t know, where is Stone City?”
“That’s nonsense! Isn’t Stone City Jinling? It’s in the east!” Chen Changgui felt that his son was talking nonsense.
But I couldn’t find him even if I tried to find him. Now, I really lost my son, my yard, and nothing else.
He slowly sat on the field stem.
Thinking about it, the eldest son has become a worker, but the younger son, whom he has always preferred, is still lazy.
What did you do?
Li Qingxia and Chen Xingbang took care of Li Xia and Hongqin and took the train all the way to Wucheng. After getting off the train, Li Qingxia said with a smile:
"This journey was better than the last time. The last time We have to take care of two children, it’s still after the New Year, that guy, the train is crowded... There are still free seats on this trip, it’s so comfortable!”
Li Xia and Hongqin looked at everything around them curiously.
It's empty, there are few people, and some people speak an incomprehensible language.
Chen Xingbang looked at their expressions and said with a smile:
"It's okay now. Just a few rounds later, the petty thieves and those who didn't do anything serious were all caught." Although Li Qingxia was there In the village, I also heard from Li Long that the current situation is actually the best time for public security.
After eating at the train station, I went to the Bayi Guest House to buy a ticket and took a bus to Ma County.
They didn't send a telegram to Li Long before getting on the train. Li Long also knew that his father and brother-in-law would not be able to stay in their hometown for long. They would definitely find their home when they returned to the county.
After he came back from Wucheng, he stayed in the big courtyard, staying there every day except for meals, just to be on guard against finding anyone if his father and the others came back.
Li Qingxia and the others got off the car, exited the bus station and went straight to Li Long's yard.
"Xiaolong has a big yard in the county town." Chen Xingbang explained to Li Xia, "We went to Wucheng together, and he stayed in the big yard when he came back from Wucheng.
Then The big courtyard is so grand, even the old wealthy people in the village used to live in it. His wife works in the county and is a government cadre..."
"I know that." Li Xia hugged Hongqin and interjected, "Your surname is Gu, right? Can we meet you today?"
"I don't know." Chen Xingbang has not seen him a few times. The main reason is that Gu Xiaoxia has to go to work and won't be back until the afternoon. He actually wanted to take Li Xia and Hong Qin directly to his compound in Shicheng, but Li Qingxia wouldn't let them.
How can that be done? Just run away without seeing your mother, brother or younger brother?
Chen Xingbang has no objection. After all, even if he is established now, it will be with Li Long's help, otherwise he would not even be able to find the yard - such a big yard, if it weren't for the fact that Li Long has a unit on the other side of the street, could it be rented to him?
When they arrived at the big courtyard and saw that the door was unlocked, Li Qingxia smiled and said:
"Xiaolong is at home. Xiaolong!" he shouted loudly.
"Here it comes!" Li Long was tidying up the small vegetable garden in the yard. When he heard the noise, he hurried to the door to open the door.
Li Xia looked at the layout of this wealthy family and believed Chen Xingbang's words. This is indeed not a yard that ordinary people can live in.
The door opened and Li Long shouted:
"Dad, brother-in-law, sister!"
Li Xia was stunned for a moment. Li Long had already touched Hongqin's head and said:
"You are Hongqin, right? I am your brother-in-law. Let's go into the yard. I have a gift for you." !”
“Hongqin, call me uncle.” Chen Xingbang said hurriedly.
Hongqin was very attached to Chen Xingbang along the way and listened to his words. She looked at Li Long and then called out: "Uncle."
After shouting, she hid in Li Xia's bed Behind her, Li Xia smiled, pulled her and said:
"This is my uncle, my brother, don't be afraid."
Hongqin still can't understand it, but she knows that this is a very close person.
Li Xia saw the tractor parked in the yard at a glance.
This tractor is really big. Unlike the one in Niu Wei's country with two hand-pushed poles, this tractor is more like the iron bull in the picture.
My younger brother is indeed promising.
Several people entered the yard, and Li Long asked Li Xia:
"Sister, my brother-in-law is not here during this period, and my father and second brother are not here. Are you wronged?"
Although Li Long is a little older, I am no longer in my hometown, but I still know the virtues of many people in my hometown. Some people are angry but others are laughing, and there are quite a few people suffering from pink eye. Just look at Li Anguo's political review letter.
Listening to her brother's concerned words, Li Xia's eyes turned red, and Chen Xingbang took over the conversation:
"There are people who don't want my best. After I went back, I dealt with those people beautifully. After a meal, the yard and land were sold. I will never come back. This family will be in Northern Xinjiang! ”
Li Long did not continue to ask this question. He knew that listening to his sister might bring back memories.
He came out of the room first with the teapot and poured a bowl of tea for everyone, including Hongqin. Putting the teapot back, Hong Qin still looked at him intently. He smiled and took out a large toy doll from behind and said:
"Hong Qin, look at it, do you like it?"
Hongqin turned to look at Chen Xingbang and then at Li Xia.
Both of them said nothing and looked at her with a smile.
"I like it." Hongqin turned her head and said a little shyly.
“Take it if you like it!” Li Long was not like some people in later generations who would hold a toy and tempt the child to scream before giving it to him. He directly took this big toy doll with half a red piano body. Hand it to her.
This is the largest doll that Li Long can buy.
"Is your wife still at work?" Chen Xingbang asked while drinking tea.
"Well," Li Long said, "I have Sunday off. Let's wait for a while, wait for her to get off work, let her meet my sister, and then I will drive the tractor to take you to the team."
"Uncle, is this tractor of yours real?" Hongqin asked boldly, holding the baby in her arms.
"Of course it's true. When Hongqin grows up, you can learn to play it."
"Hey, how can a child play it?" Li Xia thought Li Long was joking .
"Then there is nothing that can't be opened?" Li Long said, "Elder brother's Juan can open it. It's just that there are only a few of them. Hongqin can open it even if it is as big as it is."
It is not uncommon for girls in rural areas to drive tractors. It may not start, but it's not a big problem to drive it. After all, this thing is not difficult to operate, and the leather is solid. If it flips over, it can basically still be started when it is lifted up.
Li Qingxia put down the tea bowl and stood up, looking around at the yard and said:
"Xiaolong, it's not easy to clean up your yard."
"It's not easy... By the way, Hongqin, there is a nest of hedgehogs in this yard, do you want to look for it?”
“Hedgehog? What hedgehog?” Hongqin has never seen a hedgehog.
The big hedgehog brought back from the mountains gave birth to a litter of five little hedgehogs after staying in the yard for a while, which surprised Li Long.
I usually don't take much care of it, but now that it has a baby, I have to take care of it. After the roe deer was sent away, Li Long fed him something from time to time. Generally speaking, the hedgehog was not very afraid of people at the moment, and the same was true for the little hedgehog.
Hongqin ran to find the hedgehog happily, while Li Long went into the house and brought out a big watermelon.
"Xiaolong, you took out the watermelon when I was full of tea. You didn't want me to eat the melon." Chen Xingbang joked.
Li Xia hit him, his brother is not such a person.
"Isn't this because I think about the path you have taken? I just ate watermelon to cool my stomach." Li Long's health knowledge came from his previous life. He didn't know if it was right or not, so he just followed it out of habit.
He cut the big watermelon into pieces, one tooth per person, and took two pieces to look for Hong Qin.
Hongqin has found a little hedgehog in the corner of the wing, and is looking at the little guy there.
"Hongqin, eat watermelon."
"Hey!" When there was watermelon to eat, Hongqin immediately forgot about the little guy and turned around to pick up the watermelon.
In my hometown, we don’t eat much watermelon.
The strangeness at the beginning gradually disappeared, and Li Xia and her younger brother Li Long started talking more.
I took a car and a train all the way, and then took a car again after taking the train. I was in a hurry, and it was only now that I felt relaxed.
Li Long simply asked them all to go to the room and relax for a while, but Li Qingxia refused. After all, my daughter-in-law will be back soon, so what does it look like when everyone is asleep?
Let’s chat in the yard. Li Long brought a wolf tooth stone to Hongqin, mainly because he was worried that the wolf tooth would scare the children. Unexpectedly, Hongqin was not afraid of the wolf tooth, but she liked the wolf tooth more.
Then I gave him a stone and a pair of teeth.
"Sister, you can put it on with a rope when you are free. I just drilled a hole and haven't tied the rope yet."
"Okay, okay." Li Xia had already heard from Chen Xingbang that this was to ward off evil spirits. Said hurriedly.
The sun was setting in the west, and Gu Xiaoxia came back from get off work.
PS: Let me explain first. I went to bed after posting in the early morning. When I was cooking for my children in the morning, I took the time to look at my phone and found that it had been reviewed, but I didn’t have access to a computer at the time, so I couldn’t change it. When I came back to change it, I found that the ban had been lifted. In the future, if I don't tell you in advance, I will usually post two chapters after midnight.
Of course, some people want to add more updates, but they really don’t have the ability and motivation. Two chapters and 10,000 words a day, I think I have been very diligent, (PS does not count money) (End of chapter)
