The supply and marketing cooperatives, post offices, police stations and health centers are also all in place.
Most of the shops in the town are run by individual businesses, including breakfast shops, stir-fry shops, shoe repair shops, bicycle repair shops, etc.
The car drove all the way to the town, and Huang Guohui, Liu Hai and Hu Lin found an open area to park the car.
They came back once in the middle of the year and this place was their exclusive parking space.
Afterwards, Hu Lin and Li Aihua got on the jeep that brought Xu Mingzhu and others back.
Their belongings were also placed in the jeep.
Yang Qing and his friends went back home first after they got home, while Hu Lin and his friends drove all the way back to the yard.
The chicken and duck shed in front of the yard is a bit dilapidated. The yard in my memory is also much older, with traces of time everywhere.
Hu Lin got out of the car and looked at the old chicken and duck shed and said to Li Aihua: "Let's plant a tree here in the spring of next year."
In the previous planned economy, even planting trees was strictly controlled. Now with reform and opening up, we should be able to plant trees.
"Then plant pear trees and also plant some vegetables in the back.
Plant a big cold-resistant tree so you can enjoy the shade in the summer and eat pears in the fall.
When I get older, I will come back to live there, and I wonder how leisurely life will be then." Li Aihua envisioned.
"Count me in, too." Xu Mingzhu heard this and was happy to live this kind of life.
Hu Lin laughed.
It was freezing cold outside and snowing. Li Aihua and Zhou Huai'en took the old couple into the house, while Hu Lin, Xu Mingzhu and two guards brought things into the house.
The next step is to clean up.
There are four rooms. Li Aihua and Xu Mingzhu live in one room, the old couple live in their original room, and Zhou Huai'en lives in one room with her.
The empty room was given to the two guards.
After cleaning up the bedroom, Li Aihua and Xu Mingzhu went to the kitchen to cook, while the two guards and the sister-in-law continued to clean up.
After dinner, I spent the whole afternoon cleaning and finally cleaned the house inside and out.
After a night's rest, Hu Lin and two guards went up the mountain to chop firewood. Last year, when Li Aihua came back, the firewood that Hu Xiaoyi helped to chop was not enough.
Li Aihua and Xu Mingzhu went to the market to buy some daily necessities.
Last year, Li Aihua lived here for more than a month, and there were some daily necessities left, only enough to eat for one or two days.
If you don’t buy it, you’ll have nothing to eat in two days.
Zhou Huai'en took the old couple to visit Gao Ruqiong's home across the street.
Li Aihua also bought gifts for them, and Zhou Huai'en took them over.
With Hu Lin leading the way the day before, the two guards were able to go up the mountain to chop firewood by themselves the next day.
Hu Lin went deep into the mountains, taking advantage of the fact that it hadn't snowed in the past two days to catch more prey to satisfy his cravings.
In the future, when these guys become protected animals, we won’t be able to eat them anymore.
After buying daily necessities, Li Aihua and Xu Mingzhu went to the county town to find someone to install a signal pot and connect the electrical wires.
Without these things, the TV they bought would be useless.
A week later, everything at home was in order and the family started visiting each other.
We went to Yang's house first.
The Yang family was large and large, and they did not split up, so they expanded the house a little.
You can tell it’s a wealthy family just by looking at it from the outside.
Zhou Huai'en had already brought the gifts he bought for them. They came here today because the Yang family invited them to dinner at their home.
Give them a welcome.
At the beginning, the mother and daughter gave them their livelihood in the county town. With this income over the years, their lives have become more and more comfortable.
Each of them looked full of energy and their skin had become whiter, without the yellow and dark skin they had when they worked in the fields every day.
There were so many people that we had to set up four tables to accommodate them.
After dinner, several elders sat together and chatted about family matters, while several married younger generations sat together and chatted.
The unmarried Yang Qing and two guards were standing by as a foil, while a group of children were playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" in the yard.
As for the elders, Xu Cui always urges Yang Qing to find a partner and get married, which is a perennial topic.
She learned from Yang Shu that Xiaohe would be renamed Xiaohe Town after the new year, and Yang Shu would be the mayor.
Yang Tian works in the town’s Finance Department, and Wan Quan opens a bicycle repair stall.
Liu Mingjia is a full-time housewife at home.
The main reason is that two elderly people cannot take care of so many children, so she has to help at home.
A group of people are having a great time.
After dinner, it snowed and the Yang family brought them an umbrella.
They have a large population and are never short of umbrellas.
Then Hu Lin and Li Aihua went to Chen Zixiang's house, Huang Guohui's house and Liu Hai's house.
Because the families were following Hu Lin and were from the same village, and Li Aihua even came to their wedding to add to the celebration, it was only right that they should treat the mother and daughter to a meal.
It was not convenient for the Zhou family to go, so they just stayed at home, warming themselves by the fire and watching TV. Zhou Huai'en was the younger one, so no one said anything if he went along and had a free meal.
Gao Ruqiong's house was closer, so Li Aihua went there last.
Hu Lin didn't go. Even if she went, she would just be a foil. It would be better for her to just lie down at home and sleep.
After working for a year, it's time to take a break.
By the day of the Little New Year, all the visiting of relatives had ended and it was time to celebrate the festival, so the family prepared rice cakes and game.
I also bought pork to make pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew, and borrowed a handful of pickled cabbage from Gao Ruqiong to make dumplings in the evening.
The two guards, who tasted Li Aihua's cooking for the first time, praised her highly.
Another week passed and it was New Year's Eve.
The family prepared a sumptuous dinner and waited to eat while watching the Spring Festival Gala.
Zhou Huai'en went to the market and bought some Arctic Ocean, ice cream, and winter pears, as well as chocolate, biscuits, and cakes he brought from Beijing as snacks for watching the Spring Festival Gala.
At eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala starts on time.
