Finally, we are home.
Sitting on the bus back to the county town, I leaned against the window, looking at the melting ice and snow outside the window, and homesickness lingered in my heart.
It was already noon when they arrived at the county town. Hu Lin guessed that Old Man Yang should have gone home, so he went to a state-owned restaurant to have lunch and then walked back to Xiaohe Village.
She was not in a hurry along the way. She had been in a hurry in the past two years, and now she wanted to slow down.
Looking at the wheat on both sides of the dirt road, she felt very close to it.
We arrived at Xiaohe Village after two in the afternoon.
In the yard of the Youth League Building in front, there were sounds of two women quarreling.
The gate to Hu Guangjie's yard was closed.
After so many years, there are some watermarks on the walls of the Hu family courtyard, making it look a bit old.
There was a woman in the yard holding a child and playing with him, with Zhong Zihao standing next to her.
Other people in the yard were also teasing the child in the woman's arms.
On the way back, I met two chickens that had escaped from the cage and were pecking at pebbles on the road.
As he walked onto the bridge, Hulin stopped and looked into the lake.
There was still some thin ice on the surface of the lake, but two palm-sized fish could be vaguely seen swimming underwater.
It seems that Yang Qing's trial breeding results are quite good.
Let fish appear in this fishless river.
After getting off the bridge, you will see the fields where farmers are busy working.
Looking at the ridge, she still remembered how she scared Zhang Hui here many years ago.
I wonder if Zhang Hui still feels happy now?
Hu Lin arrived home slowly, strolling along the way.
Outside, standing in front of the chickens, ducks and rocs, was a person who shouldn't be here - Zhou Huaijing.
She seemed to remember that when she left last year, Xu Mingzhu told her that Zhou Huaijing would come back during the Chinese New Year.
Is his home leave that long?
While she was lost in thought, Zhou Huaijing noticed someone approaching, and seeing that it was Hu Lin who had returned, he greeted him.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
They really haven't seen each other for a long time. Counting the years, it has been more than two years since the beginning of 1992.
"Long time no see." Hu Lin then asked, "When did you come?"
"Just arrived a few days ago." Zhou Huaijing responded and poured the rice bran in the iron basin in his hand into the stone trough in the chicken and duck room.
"Oh." She was not curious about why Zhou Huaijing came at this time and went home.
Zhou Huaijing followed behind.
The last time we met, Hu Lin still had short hair. Now her hair has grown longer and is hastily tied up at the back.
He looked taller and whiter, but also looked much more haggard and thinner.
She was indeed impressive, no wonder his friends all praised her so highly.
Li Aihua, who was washing clothes in the house, saw Hu Lin coming back. She stood up in surprise, wiped her wet hands on her apron, and walked towards Hu Lin.
With a look of surprise, "My daughter, you are back!"
"Well, boil some water for me, I want to take a bath." Hu Lin responded expressionlessly.
"Hey." Li Aihua's face froze when she saw Hu Lin's expression, and she asked cautiously, "Girl, have you eaten? I'll go cook for you first."
"No, I've eaten."
As Hu Lin spoke, he put the cotton-padded jacket he had taken off the backpack into the laundry tub, along with the wolf fur lining.
When Zhou Huaijing saw it, his eyes flashed, and he followed him to the yard to wash the iron basin.
"Okay, I'll boil some water for you right away." Li Aihua said as she went to the kitchen.
Hu Lin put the backpack under the eaves, took the money box and went back to the house.
The cash box contained her remaining money, the payment slip written by Uncle Yuan, and the letter from the old couple of the Zhao family to Zhao Ming.
She took the contents of the cash box out and put the receipts into the smaller cash box in the cabinet and locked it.
Now she mainly uses this cash box to store important documents and bills.
The money was not moved. The larger cash box was placed in the cabinet and the letter was placed on top of the cash box.
All the things she needed for her sports car were placed in the car.
In this era, she is not afraid of being stolen.
She knew all those things by heart.
After cleaning up, she went out, sat under the eaves, and cleared her mind.
After Li Aihua took out the military water bottle from the backpack, she continued to wash clothes.
Zhou Huaijing was lighting a fire in the kitchen.
The fire burned brightly, and after more than twenty minutes, the water in the pot boiled.
He carried water in an iron bucket to the toilet. Hu Lin saw it and followed him to fetch water.
After preparing the water, Hu Lin took some clothes and went to take a bath.
After taking a shower, she gave her changed clothes to Li Aihua.
"If I'm not awake before dinner, don't wake me."
After saying that, Hu Lin went back to the house, leaving Li Aihua staring at her back in a daze.
Seeing this, Zhou Huaijing explained, "She must be exhausted. Let her have a good sleep."
Li Aihua glanced at Zhou Huaijing, then looked away, blinked and continued washing clothes.
Zhou Huaijing went out and went up the mountain.
