By the time they arrived in Lushan County by car, it was still early.
"Let's go, let's go see if the ox cart in the village has left."
After getting off the car, Zhou Ziwen asked Zhou Chaoyang and the two sisters to follow him.
If it were normal times, there would definitely be an ox cart.
But it's still winter in the village, and it's so cold outside, so there's no doubt whether there will be an ox cart.
Zhou Ziwen took his family and Zhou Chaoyang out of the station in Lushan County, and their breath condensed into white mist in the cold air.
He tightened his cotton-padded clothes and looked up at the sky. Although it was still early, winter mornings were always a bit desolate.
"I hope we are lucky enough to encounter an ox cart." Zhou Ziwen thought to himself, but kept walking, leading everyone to the ox cart stop in the village.
They walked through several alleys and came to the place where bullock carts usually gathered.
This is usually one of the busiest places in the village, especially during the busy farming season, when oxcarts come and go, transporting various crops and villagers.
But it is winter now, and most villagers choose to avoid the cold at home, so the number of oxcarts is naturally much smaller.
"Looks like we're in luck."
Zhou Ziwen saw an ox cart parked not far away, and an old man was sitting on the shaft of the cart smoking a cigarette, obviously waiting for someone.
Chasing me has a good memory and recognized the old man as a person from Xiaobazi Village.
Dabazi Village and Xiaobazi Village are originally next to each other, so you can go back by taking a ride.
A surprised smile appeared on Zhou Ziwen's face. He walked forward quickly and greeted the old man warmly:
"Uncle Liu, are you still going out to drive a car in such a cold weather?"
Uncle Liu raised his head and squinted for a while before he recognized Zhou Ziwen: "Oh, isn't this Zhou Zhiqing? Are you back from the city?"
"Yes, Uncle Liu, we just came back from Sijiu City and were wondering if we could take a ride back to the village." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
Uncle Liu waved the dry tobacco pole in his hand and said with a hearty smile: "What a big deal, come up here. I just want to go back to the village and give you a ride."
Zhou Ziwen quickly thanked him, then turned to greet Chen Qiaoyi, Chen Shiying and Zhou Chaoyang: "Come here quickly, we have a car for you to sit in."
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying held the children in their arms and carefully stepped on the pedals of the oxcart. Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang helped support them below to ensure that they got on the car safely.
"You guys wait for a while! I'm waiting for someone and will leave immediately." Uncle Liu said.
Zhou Ziwen and others nodded quickly to express their understanding.
They found a comfortable place to sit on the bullock cart and put their luggage away.
Little Yueyue waved her little hands excitedly: "Take the ox cart, take the ox cart!"
Uncle Liu looked at the children with a kind smile on his face: "These two children are so cute. Zhou Zhiqing, how are you doing in the city?"
Zhou Ziwen responded with a smile: "Uncle Liu, it's good to be in the city. I met my family I haven't seen for a long time and visited a lot of places."
Uncle Liu nodded: "That's good, that's good. It's not easy for you educated youths to come to our countryside. However, you have also brought a lot of new things to the village."
At this time, Zhou Chaoyang asked curiously: "Uncle Liu, your family is not worried if you go out to drive a car on such a cold day?"
Uncle Liu took a puff of dry cigarette and said slowly: "My family advised me not to go out, but I can't sit still. Besides, I can earn more and reduce the burden on my family."< br>
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a surge of respect for Uncle Liu. On this cold winter day, Uncle Liu braved the cold to drive a sports car for his family. This kind of diligence and tenacity is admirable.
After a while, the person Uncle Liu was waiting for didn't come yet.
Zhou Chaoyang was a little anxious. He was worried that it would be colder on the road if it was too late. Zhou Ziwen saw Zhou Chaoyang's thoughts and comforted him: "Chaoyang, don't worry. Just wait, Uncle Liu definitely doesn't want to waste time."
Chen Qiaoyi also smiled and said: "Yes, Uncle Liu is still willing to wait for us in such a cold weather. It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer."
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance.
I saw a young man rushing over, shouting as he ran: "Uncle Liu, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Uncle Liu smiled and said: "It's okay, come up. When everyone is here, we will set off."
The young man got on the bullock cart and was slightly startled when he saw Zhou Ziwen and others.
Uncle Liu introduced: "This is an educated youth from Dabazi Village. He just came back from the city and took our car back to the village."
The young man smiled and nodded: "It turns out we are comrades from the educated youth, hello."
Zhou Ziwen and others also greeted politely.
Uncle Liu waved the dry tobacco pole in his hand, shouted, and the ox cart started slowly.

The bullock cart moved forward on the country road. Although the speed was not fast, it was very smooth.
The fields along the way were quiet, and occasionally a few sparrows could be seen looking for food.
The mountains in the distance are covered with white snow, like an ink painting.
Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Xuanxuan looked at the scenery outside the window excitedly, laughing happily from time to time.
Chen Qiaoyi and Chen Shiying hugged the children tightly for fear that they would freeze.
Zhou Ziwen and Zhou Chaoyang chatted with Uncle Liu and the members of Xiaobazi Village. The topics ranged from trivial matters in the village to what they had seen in the city. Everyone had a great time chatting.
On this cold winter day, the bullock cart is full of warmth and laughter.
As the ox cart moved forward, they got closer and closer to Dabazi Village.
Zhou Ziwen looked at the familiar outline of the village and was filled with emotion.
In a blink of an eye, he has been in Dabazi Village for several years.
He would be leaving soon, and he was really reluctant to leave.
After all, he also put in a lot of effort in Dabazi Village.
The wooden wheels of the oxcart rolled slowly on the snowy road, making a "crunching" sound, which seemed to tell the story of the countryside.
Zhou Ziwen's eyes fell on Dabazi Village in the distance, and his thoughts drifted back to the time when he first arrived here.
At that time, he was young and immature, and faced with the difficult rural life, he was full of confusion.
However, in this land, with his own efforts and wisdom, he gradually found his own place.
He also thought of the warm time he spent with the Chen sisters. Those moments of supporting each other in difficulties and sharing joy together became the most precious memories in his life.
There is also the process of the mushroom planting base growing from scratch, which is the light of hope that leads the villagers to prosperity.
"Uncle Liu, the village has changed so much in the past few years." Zhou Ziwen said with emotion.
Uncle Liu nodded in agreement: "Yes, thanks to you educated youths, you have brought new ideas and technologies."
"Especially you, Zhou Zhiqing, your mushroom cultivation has made life easier for many people." (End of Chapter)
