Hu Lin went to the kitchen to help Li Aihua light the fire and steam rice.
"By the way, how about going to Beijing to celebrate the New Year next year?
When I went to Beijing years ago, Uncle Zhou and Aunt Xu missed you very much. ”
Hu Lin suddenly remembered this and asked Li Aihua who was cutting vegetables on the chopping board.
"Can I?" Li Aihua also missed them. She paused with the kitchen knife in her hand and looked at Hu Lin with shining eyes.
"Of course. You can go wherever you want.
No one is restricting you, so why are you asking such questions? ”
Hu Lin was a little unhappy.
Li Aihua is always delicate and soft in front of her, can't she be a little tougher?
"It's not like I haven't been out before, but every time I went out, it was to the capital. I was so happy that I don't know what to say."
Li Aihua felt a little embarrassed.
"That's it? Then you'd better practice your courage.
Don't be so jumpy wherever you go in the future. ”
Hu Lin looked a little disgusted.
"I know!" Li Aihua said coquettishly.
Zhou Huaijing, who came from outside, heard the conversation between mother and son, and walked in with a gentle expression, "Aunt, is there anything I can help you with?"
"No! Go sit by the fire in the living room, and you can eat later.
If you feel cold, add some firewood to the brazier. It's much colder this year than last year. ”
Li Aihua responded with a smile.
Seeing this, Zhou Huaijing had no choice but to go to the living room and wait.
After dinner, Zhou Huaijing put on rain boots, took an axe, and went up the mountain to chop firewood.
Hu Lin felt a little lazy and went back to his room to take a nap.
This year is colder than in previous years and the snow hasn't melted yet, so Hu Lin doesn't want to go out.
After a few days, the weather slowly began to warm up, and Hu Lin went up the mountain with Zhou Huaijing to chop firewood.
After the Waking of Insects, the snow has almost melted.
Old man Yang also passed away at this time.
This year, Old Man Yang's health has been on and off and has never fully recovered.
He finally recovered before the New Year, but after a winter, Old Man Yang passed away quietly.
Zhao Ming said that old man Yang died of old age.
He is over eighty years old, which is considered old in Xiaohe Village.
It can be considered a happy funeral.
Hu Lin, as a grandson, also kept vigil.
Many people came to pay tribute to Old Man Yang, including some who looked about the same age as Old Man Yang.
Their hands holding the crutches were trembling, and they took one step and one rest at a time as they walked.
There were several tables set up for the banquet, and those invited were all immediate family members.
After a week of rest, everyone carried Old Man Yang up the mountain.
The Yang couple and the younger generations were all wiping their tears, while Hu Lin had a blank expression on his face the entire time.
Watching them fill the body with soil and bury it, she thought of the scene when Old Man Yang asked her to recite the Three Character Classic one year.
After Old Man Yang left, the person driving the ox cart was replaced by Yang Jing.
He said that this was a son following in his father's footsteps.
In the past, he took over the position of village chief from Old Man Yang, and now he cannot fall behind.
He passed the position of village chief to Yang Shu.
Now Yang Shu is both the team leader of the production team and the village chief of Xiaohe Village.
Birth, aging, sickness and death are something that everyone has to go through.
That's the truth, but she was still depressed for a while after Old Man Yang left.
When competing with Zhou Huaijing, he was also ruthless.
She knew that she had really changed.
That was not an illusion, she really had changed.
Become an ordinary person, with their own joys, sorrows, anger and happiness.
After letting himself go for a few days, Hu Lin settled the bill with Yang Qing, reviewed the research and development progress with Zhao Ming, then asked Yang Shu for a letter of introduction and continued on his journey.
We left later this year, only a few days before our departure in late February, so as soon as we set out, we headed straight for the Xiangjiang River.
Having just experienced what happened with Old Man Yang, Hu Lin looked at Uncle Yuan, whom he had known for several years, and suddenly felt that time was making people grow old.
She is twenty years old this year. Uncle Yuan has white hair on his temples, and the other people in his team have also started families and have children.
Uncle Yuan's children also grew up from little kids to lively and active troublemakers.
As usual, after staying here for a few days, Hu Lin continued driving his car.
Years ago, she brought Zhao Ming's parents back home, and then took Li Aihua to Beijing.
Li Aihua has known for the past two years that her daughter has been driving a sports car, but this is the first time she has seen it.
Seeing his daughter steering the wheel skillfully, his eyes were filled with admiration.
Li Aihua brought a lot of game to the Zhou family, which made everyone in the family very greedy.
They were used to Li Aihua's cooking, so when they ate the food she cooked again, they all praised Li Aihua in various ways.
Li Aihua made me feel embarrassed.
During the few days they stayed at the Zhou family, the Zhou family took them to eat, drink and have fun all over the capital.
There were many new and interesting things that surprised Li Aihua again and again.
Xu Mingzhu also took them to Friendship Shopping Mall to buy some clothes.
Hu Lin also took the opportunity to take a look at this year's new models.
Over the years, she has been driving around, and whenever she arrives in a developed city, she would go to investigate the clothing market.
It is now 1978. Within two years, you can apply for a business license and become a self-employed individual.
She has planned the development and layout of the clothing market and is just waiting to get the business license.
On New Year's Eve, Zhou Huaijing, who was supposed to return after the New Year, actually rushed back.
After seven o'clock, Zhou Honggan and the old couple watched the news broadcast in front of the TV.
Li Aihua and Xu Mingzhu were busy in the kitchen, while Hu Lin and his two siblings were playing cards nearby.
It was at this time that Zhou Huaijing knocked on the door.
At first she thought it was a guest, but Zhou Honggan went to open the door while saying, "The boss is back."
