Chapter 400 Returning home in glory

"Bang, bang, bang"

Under the blue sky in the distance, amid billowing white smoke, the light green locomotive drove south along the golden wheat fields with the long train behind it.

The endless rolling waves of wheat represent this year’s harvest, and the fields are filled with the laughter of the members.

Beside the field ridge, the rifles used by the militiamen for training were all piled together, like blossoming flowers celebrating a good harvest.

That was the place where you and I loved.

The young pioneers with red scarves tied around their necks were following behind the adults, picking up the ears of wheat that had been missed on the ground, and placing them very preciously in the harvested wheat pile. For them, this is food. For them, it means work points and being able to contribute to the family.

In the bamboo basket not far away, covered with gray cloth, there are empty salt water bottles and earthen jars with broken edges, reminding the children that this kind of work is not so easy to earn.

On the hard seat by the window of the green leather train, Liu Qiang broke off the noodle cake from his sister's kang in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth bit by bit. Even the dregs that fell on his clothes would be moistened with his fingers. Put it on your fingers and put it in your mouth.

"Leizi, look, the capable person over there is a woman. I don’t know what’s going on at home now."

While looking out the window, I was thinking But he was already drifting to his hometown in the distance. He pointed at the woman who cut the fastest in the world. Involuntarily, he thought of his wife.

Liu Lei looked out the window curiously, whether it was the train itself or the things passing by outside the window. Fortunately, the speed of the train was not fast, allowing him to see the place Liu Qiang pointed just now.

The golden straw hat under the scorching sun, the sickle still braving the cold light in the hot summer, the wheat ridges kept falling wherever he passed, Liu Lei pursed his mouth hard, time passed so fast, This year's summer harvest had just begun, and time passed so slowly. The calluses on his hands, which had fallen off countless times, were aching.

"They should have finished their work. In the south, it should have been ripe a few days ago."

The rush to harvest and plant seeds is a window period of just a few days for farmers, and time is tight. , the tasks are heavy, and God is competing for time. It is the most difficult time of the year. The two people wandering far away in the capital, if it were not for Li Feng's wedding, they would have gone back to help their families share the pressure.

“It’s time to plant corn. I want to plant the peanut seeds I saved last year in my own land. I wonder if your aunt can plant them.”

As an old farmer, Liu Lei The middle-aged man who has been digging in the soil for twenty years is much more sensitive to the changes of the seasons than his eldest nephew. When leaving, everyone thought about this year, and even delayed going back until now. His mood was not calm anymore, and he was afraid of losing it. Two strong laborers will keep the family busy.

"It should be fine. There are so many people in the team, isn't my dad still here?"

As if he could see the worries hidden deep in Liu Qiang's heart, Liu Lei's face showed a reluctant look. He smiled, but in his heartI'm sorry, I don't know what's going on at home.

"Don't hold on, it's time to eat. The money we brought back is enough to buy work points. They are living a comfortable life this year, so they won't be short of your two mouths. Get off the car later and don't have the energy to walk back."

Scanning the crowd with alert eyes, Liu Qiang would smile with a simple and honest expression when he saw others looking at him, reminding Liu Lei that he would take the money back and look at it with all his heart. , Don’t give others an opportunity to take advantage of you.

We wear less clothes in summer, so we can’t sew them into clothes like in winter. We have no choice but to stuff the soles of our shoes on hot days. This is the safest place for the two of us. .

"Okay, I'll take two bites then"

Liu Lei was finally convinced. After swallowing, he was finally willing to open the cloth bag hanging on his chest.

There are a handful of small candies scattered inside, including hard candies, white rabbits, and red wedding candies, all given by aunt Liu Yin. Whether these are Liu Qiang or Liu Lei, I didn't want to eat it, so I took it back to the children. It was sweet and could be considered as a small gift for home.

The washed glass bottles of canned fruits are filled with braised pork and Sixi dumplings. He and Liu Qiang are not willing to eat these. The weather is hot, and the canned food can be stored for a few days after steaming, but If you open it halfway, you will definitely not be able to take it back, and you will have to eat it on the way.

They have already tasted the taste of meat, but they are still reluctant to part with it. After all, in rural areas, they can only eat meat a few times a year, two or three times, which is incredible. Taking these things back is really more abundant than the Chinese New Year. .

In this way, after spending a long time, Liu Lei also made the same choice. The kang had some hard noodles, which was also a rare delicacy for hungry people.

Looking out the window, breaking off the pieces of cake and putting it into his mouth bit by bit, Liu Lei's face regained a trace of color, and slowly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Mom, Mom, when will Dad come back?"

The second eldest son of Liu Qiang's family was wearing crotchless pants made of rural homespun, with his little sparrow exposed, sticking out his butt and playing with the ground. The grassroots looked at the mother drinking water in the field, and asked in a low voice.

Aunt Li Feng paused for a moment while wiping sweat with her hands. The calluses on her palms and the wounds cut by the wheat straw were not as sad as the questions asked by her second son.

"Your dad, there must be a vixen outside who has taken away his soul. Erbao, look, the fields have already been planted and your dad hasn't come back yet. That's... I don’t want you three.”

Another village woman on the field ridge loosened the corner of the towel held in her teeth, also picked up the salt water bottle, drank the water gurglingly, and filled it with water. After burping, he pointed at his dick and teased him. < /p>

Little Aunt Li Feng looked a little unhappy at this time, picked up her straw hat and fanned herself.The result is hot air, which can only be pushed back to the forehead in annoyance.

"Yes, you are talking nonsense, my dad is not that kind of person, he still sends it home"

"Okay, Erbao, let's go and play"

My aunt's face changed. She didn't seem to want her second son to say this. She hugged her son's bare buttocks and kicked him from behind. She kicked him away and played with him, making the little kid's mouth pout in anger.

“Oh, Qiangzi’s wife, what did you send? How do I know how your Qiangzi is doing outside now? It’s all nonsense from the people next door. However, you went to see her after taking a shower a few days ago. Did you put on ice cream before watching a movie?"

This is what village women are like. They have a comradely relationship of mutual cooperation and a competitive gossiping relationship. To put it bluntly, they are just afraid of you. Well, I think you are poor, so it is better to live in his family. Now that Aunt Li Feng is using high-end beauty and skin care products like cream, why shouldn't these peasant women of the same age feel jealous.

“Oh, no, it smells like soap, I don’t need cream.”

“Don’t pretend to be like me, I’ve seen it, it’s on your bedside table , there is that blue box, and you are still hiding it from me, Qiangzi’s wife, we will be born like this.”

It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. After a little testing, there are a few women who can resist it. Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Aunt Li Feng simply returned to the ground to avoid the unnatural look on her face being seen.

"If you don't hide it, if you don't hide it, you can pick all the boxes out of me."

They are all sisters from childhood to adulthood. You can't know what they think. Who says rural people are simple? They all have simple faces with the unique shrewdness of small farmers. Before the intention of one party to take advantage of others is revealed, the other party has already withdrawn its troops.

"It's really bad, borrow it and see what you can do with it"

The angry Sister Tao saw that Qiangzi's wife didn't know how to praise her, her face changed, she muttered something in her mouth, and turned After rolling his eyes, he found a few middle-aged women on his side and started to coo.

"I'm telling you, Xiang Xiang Xiang must have stolen a man."

The faint voice gradually became louder, and Aunt Li Feng stomped her feet angrily after hearing this. It's really hard to argue with them about things, otherwise those girls can really turn white into black.

Over the past few days, she has deeply realized how uncomfortable it is for the left-behind women and children.

Everyone actually knew that the man was not at home and had gone out to earn money. By the time he left that day, the news had already spread throughout the village.

Now, the Liu family’s two wild boars are fed black and strong pigs, and the sows are pregnant. This is really serious. This time, the people in the village are jealous and gossip. , but it spread out.

Little Aunt Li Feng could only endure her anger. She wanted to wait until her man came back before venting it all out to open the eyes of those who she thought were right.

Go home.

DownAfter getting on the train, the uncle and nephew didn't want to stay for more than a quarter of an hour. At this time, their wealth was completely different from what it was when they first came to Beijing. Now that they were returning home in rich clothes, the money they brought back was completely different from what it was back then.

The timid earthy smell has been covered up by something called self-confidence after seeing a bigger market.

If you remove the burden on your shoulders, no one will realize that the two people in front of you come from a remote rural area.

Behind the train is a minibus, and behind the minibus is a tractor. When the means of transportation become more and more shabby, it also means that the two people are closer to home.

Familiar mountain villages, familiar fields, familiar shouts, familiar people, even the smell in the air is familiar.

The donkey cart was driving slowly on the country road. There was a snow-white cigarette clamped on the handlebar ear, which was in sharp contrast with his skin color.

The big teeth are full of brownish-yellow tea stains and soot, reaching to the back of the ears, handlebar style. I am very happy to pick up two acquaintances on the way back. At this time, the corners of my eyes are filled with excitement. Smile.

"Qiangwazi, how is the capital? Have you ever gone to see the flag raising? You can see the government coming."

Put the whip aside in the handlebar style and pick it up on the back With the tobacco pot bag stuck in it, he pressed home-grown tobacco leaves into the pot and curiously chatted with Liu Qiang.

“Third uncle, you don’t know how big the crowd is in the National Flag Square, almost from our village to the intersection of Zhaohu’s house in front. The ground is paved with stones, and they are neater than those in the commune. The walls were all flat.

With the size of the land drawn by Liu Qiang, the handlebars kept widening their eyes and narrowing their holes. Wings, I’ll go and see it myself.

“I’m tired of watching the flag raising. I can’t get up so early every day. When the sun comes out, I have to raise it right away. You go. If it’s too late, you won’t be able to see it”

“And what you said, I can see the big photo at the city gate every day, and I even saw the political director with my own eyes”

“My dear, strong boy, you go out this time, tsk tsk, my third uncle is envious. Alas, it’s a pity that my old bones will only last in this life. I followed this stubborn donkey as far as the county seat and the capital city, where the dignitaries stayed."

From the beginning of yearning to the subsequent sighing, the eyes of the handlebar style were full of bitterness , who doesn’t want to go to the capital to see it?

Liu Qiang realized that he had gone too far and talked about it to his third uncle. He smiled coquettishly. He originally wanted to brag. After all, he has been out for so long. If you go home in silence, then the point of going out will be gone.

"Let me see how you are doing outside. It's better than before."You must be a little fatter."

Pinched Liu Qiang's arm and patted her with a handlebar, and the smile returned again. The younger generations have a promising future, and they are also happy to be the elders. After all, they are all from the same village. .

"Fortunately, my eldest nephew is very capable in Beijing. He is now the section chief of Wanwan Factory. He usually looks for me as his uncle. Unexpectedly, he is still in my sister's family. "The big beam that you have stirred up"

"Your sister, you were very high-spirited at the beginning, and the people in the village looked down upon you. You don't know how many families were unhappy at that time. Fortunately, you married into a good family, and those two Big wild boar, everyone in the commune knows about it now."

As the distance got closer, the driver said something vaguely. Liu Qiang was no longer the young man he used to be. He understood what his third uncle said. There was something in his words, and he looked over with a serious look.

"It's no big deal, the old guys are still here. Come back and ask your parents to come to my house and have a drink."

After entering the village, the two of them picked up the fight, and the cart drove towards the brigade. The two of them regained their smiles and headed towards Go home.

"Hey, isn't this Daqiang? He's back from the capital."

"Well, Third Sister, I'm back."

Along the way, acquaintances passed by from time to time and greeted each other, but many of them stared at the basket to see what they had brought back, but Liu Qiang blocked them all.

" Dad, Mom"

As before, Liu Qiang and Liu Lei did not go home. Instead, they chose to go to Li Feng's grandparents' house first.

The pig pen in the courtyard Inside, the snoring sound of the big pig was the best response to the two of them. Before Grandma Li Feng could open the door, a fat black pig with big ears was already lying on the edge of the pig pen with its front hooves. He looked at the entrance of the courtyard in a naive manner.

"This is the pig I brought back"

Liu Qiang's eyes widened and he looked at the two big ears with a confused expression. The pig was still surprised. Please remember to bookmark the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
