A month later, Taolin Brigade.
Late at night, Chen Liang was walking back to the brigade with bags full of stuff.
This time I have been away for more than three months. I haven't seen the little educated youth for such a long time. I was afraid that the little educated youth would be deceived by someone else while I was away. During this period of time, I regretted all the time why I didn't dare to confess my feelings to him. Now that I am finally back, I am so eager to go home on the way home.
Unfortunately, it was too late and I couldn’t see the young educated youth right away. I had to wait until tomorrow morning.
When I got to the door, I saw through the crack that it was quiet inside. It was also quiet next to me, without a sound. It seemed that everyone was asleep.
Chen Liang climbed over the wall in the backyard, tiptoed back to his room, and after a quick wash, he got on the kang.
The weather in December was already very cold. I didn't know he was coming back and didn't heat the kang in advance. Now the room was like an ice cellar and I was shivering with cold.
I pulled two quilts over myself and wrapped myself up tightly. Thinking that in two or three hours I would be able to see the person I had been thinking about, my heart warmed up.
After daydreaming for a long time, I no longer felt the biting coldness in the quilt and finally fell asleep.
It felt like I hadn't slept for long when I heard rustling sounds in the yard. The door opened and closed, and after a while, sounds came from the woodshed and the kitchen.
Chen Liang guessed that his mother must have gotten up to make breakfast, and he thought that he had to get up and clean himself up to see the young educated youth without delay.
Chen Liang sat up and opened the small bag he'd brought back last night. Inside was stuffed with things for his family: his father's pipe, his mother's scarf, and some candies and snacks for his nephews and nieces. There were so many people at home, and the things he'd brought were a mess. Chen Liang took them out and placed them, along with the bag, on the table in the main hall.
Turning around and going out to the kitchen to get some water, Aunt Chen was startled by the sudden appearance of a tall figure. She looked carefully and found that it was the third brother who had returned.
"Oh my god, you idiot, when did you come back without making any noise? You scared me to death."
Chen Liang chuckled: "Mom, I came back last night, but it was too late so I didn't wake you up. I brought you some gifts and put them on the table in the main hall. Mom, you can share some with everyone later."
After saying that, he scooped up some water and went out to wash.
Aunt Chen looked at her third child and felt as if she had forgotten something. She couldn't remember it for a moment, so she turned around and went back to make breakfast.
After a while, everyone in the family got up one after another. Second sister-in-law Zhou Lin waited until the team leader and his wife had finished before going in to make their own breakfast.
Chen Liang had dinner with his parents today. Aunt Chen kept nagging at the table: "You kid, you've been gone for so long. I thought you wouldn't be back before the New Year. You've been gone for so long, and you didn't even send a message home. You bought so many things when you came back. You don't save the money you have, but spend it lavishly. What are you going to do in the future?"
Without waiting for Chen Liang to speak, he continued, "You didn't even bother to call us when you came back last night. You didn't even know you were coming back, and you didn't heat the kang for you. The room is so cold, what if you get sick? You should have come to our room and squeezed in. You're so old, and you don't know anything, and you still make us old couple worry about you."
Chen Liang really couldn't bear to listen any longer. His ears had never been quiet since he sat down. His father had obviously gotten used to it and was drinking the vegetable soup in his bowl as if nothing had happened.
But the new pipe he bought was placed next to him, and he would glance at it from time to time and touch it with his hand.
Seemingly very satisfied with his gift, Chen Liang finished the soup in the bowl in one gulp, said hello and went back into the room.
Last night he brought back three bags, one big and two small. He gave one small bag to his mother, which contained gifts for his family.
A small bag contained his spare clothes and toiletries.
There was also a big bag, which Chen Liang opened and sorted out. Inside was a women's military coat, which he had specially arranged with his colleagues to exchange for. The winter in Northeast China was too cold, and he was worried that the young educated youth would not be able to adapt.
There was also a thick red scarf, a pair of cotton leather shoes, two boxes of Pechoin, and a pair of halter-neck cotton gloves.
The rest were local specialties, and he even took out a small bag of dried fish, a bag of dried mangoes, and a bag of coconut milk candy, all of which he bought from Haishi.
Mother Chen, who had just walked in to check on her son...
Can't she keep this son anymore?
Is it not possible to have it anymore?
Is this bastard really her child?
She suspected that she had taken the wrong baby.
Chen Liang said goodbye to his mother hurriedly, then hurried out the door with his big bag.
It should be past eight o'clock now, and the young educated youth should be up.
He couldn't wait to see her, tell her everything he had seen and heard along the way, and tell her the love he had for her that he hadn't been able to express last time.
He walked out of the door in two or three steps and came to the door of Song Jin's house.
………………
There is a big lock on the door...
Chen Liang was stunned
Where did the young educated youth go?
So early?
Chen's mother at home finally remembered what she had forgotten, slapped her thigh and chased after him.
As soon as I walked to the door of my house, I saw my stupid son coming back with a big bag.
Before I even entered the room, a voice came over: "Mom, do you know where Song Zhiqing went? The door was locked so early in the morning."
After asking, he muttered to himself: "I don't know if he has eaten breakfast since he went out so early. It's so cold. No, I have to go look for him."
Mother Chen watched as Bangchui imagined a big drama in front of her.
Seeing that he was about to rush out without thinking again, he quickly stopped him.
A lion roared: "Can you please stand still and listen to me?"
Chen Bangchui finally looked his poor old mother in the eye.
Afraid that he wouldn't listen again, Chen's mother said directly, "Just a few days after you left, Song Zhiqing went to work in the county town. It seems he's working as an executive in a machinery factory."
