Xu Jiajia said patiently: "When the train starts, it will be like this. When the train stops, the flowers and plants on the roadside are still."

Xiao Yiyi nodded, not quite understanding: "I know a little bit."

The whole group bought sleeper berth tickets.

Shen Xingzhi likes Xiao Yiyi the most, and he shamelessly wants to sleep in the same bed with her.

"Xiao Yiyi, come here, tell me what you want to know."

Shen Xingzhi could have taken the college entrance examination this year, but because Shen Zhou downgraded him a grade, he can only take it next year.

Xiao Yiyi's biggest wish is that he can get into university: "Uncle, study hard and get into university, and I will give you a reward."

Shen Xingzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What he heard most now was to study hard and get into university.

To be honest, he was almost hearing the words, but he had to listen: "Okay, okay, I will study hard and get into college."

Xiao Yiyi hummed, and Xiaogui said, "Humph, that's more like it!"

…

After taking the train for five days and five nights, we finally arrived in Shunan City.

Coming out of the train station, the six children looked around.

"Mom, is this our hometown?" Xiao Yiyi saw that Shunan was very poor, but she did not despise him. Instead, she looked expectant.

"No, this is in the city, a few hours' drive from my hometown. There is no direct bus from here to my hometown. We have to take a bus to the county first, and then go to the town from the county.

After arriving in the town, we took a bullock cart back to our hometown.”

"Ox cart? I've never ridden an ox cart before!" Little Yiyi was very curious about what an ox cart looked like.

"We'll have to rest in the city today, and then we'll go to town tomorrow and see the oxcarts."

Little Yiyi clapped her hands and said, "Okay, I like watching the ox cart the most, and I also like riding on the ox cart."

The group rested in a guesthouse in the city for a day. The next morning, after breakfast, they rushed to the bus station.

When we arrived at the county town, it was already eleven o'clock.

Shen Yuebai brought a group of people to the state-owned hotel again.

There were too many of them in this line and it quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"What are these? Judging from what they are wearing, they are in pretty good condition!"

"If you want to know, you can go and ask."

"That won't do. It's not good to rush forward."

"Since you know it's not good, don't be so curious!"

“…”

Xu Jiajia and her group had two tables.

The two tables were not very spacious, but rather crowded.

Eat and drink enough.

The crowd continued on their way.

Finally arrived in town.

I haven't been back for five years, and the town hasn't changed at all. It looks very familiar.

Mrs. Xu was carrying two bags. She looked at the houses on both sides of the street and said, "Finally, it's over. It wasn't easy."

"The captain is waiting for us at the fork in the road, let's go." Xiao Qian telegraphed the captain to tell him that they were coming back.

Set a date.

The captain telegraphed them that he would meet them at the fork in the road.

Old Mrs. Xu looked at Grandma He and said, "Grandma, don't go back to celebrate the New Year next year. Invite everyone in the family, young and old, to come home and celebrate the New Year together."

Grandma He wanted to go home for the New Year, but before she could say no, Uncle He nodded readily: "Okay, we'll go back today and come back with our family tomorrow."

Old Mrs. He nodded: "Okay——"

Grandma He wanted to kick Uncle He San. How could he be so careless at such an old age? "My dear grandma, this is not good. With so many people, where can we sleep?"

Mrs. Xu: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you buy a few beds later."

Having said that, Grandma He could only nod and say, "Okay—"

…

A group of people came to the fork in the road.

The captain looked at the increasingly younger old lady Xu, and his jaw dropped in shock: "Auntie, auntie, how come you are getting younger and younger? If I hadn't asked about your age, I would have thought you were only fifty!"

Old Mrs. Xu was a straightforward person. She looked at the captain whom she hadn't seen for five years. Her temples were all white and her body had aged a lot. She was surprised and asked, "Why have you aged so much? Are you not feeling well?"

The captain sighed and said, "No, it's just that there are too many trivial matters and the pressure is too great.

Especially in the past two years, the harvest has been poor, and I’ve been so anxious that my hair has turned white.”

Old Mrs. Xu was also born into a peasant family and knew the importance of the harvest: "That's right. However, now that the policy is good, you don't have to rely entirely on the land. You can let your children cook food and sell it in town, and you can also make some money this way."

Rural information is blocked, and people don’t know where to buy and sell things outside: “Auntie, isn’t this speculation? Once caught, they will be sent to the farm!”

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "No! Now that the policy has been relaxed, there are many small businesses in Kyoto.

Several of us old people have started our first business.

I am doing small business.

Business is good.”

The first batch of cloth earned more than a thousand yuan.

The second batch of cloth required more investment and brought in more profit, about three thousand.

Xu Jiajia invested 3,000 yuan, and after deducting the commission, she earned more than 1,000 yuan alone.

Mrs. Xu's words opened up a new world for the captain: "Can we do business outside?"

The captain's tone was one of shock and disbelief.

Mrs. Xu nodded and said, "Yes, the national economy is not good. If we want to change the status quo, we naturally have to change the policy.

There will definitely be more and more people doing business in the future.”

After hearing this, the captain had an idea in his mind: "Auntie, do you still want your team?

If you want, can I let Yuan Qing go to Kyoto with you guys? "

Xu Yuanqing is the captain's youngest son.

I went to junior high school with Xu Jiajia.

껣 was obsessed with raising pigs.

After raising them several times without success, I had to go back to farming.

Mrs. Xu and the others were indeed short of money. Besides, Xu Yuanqing and Xu Jiajia were classmates and knew each other well. Mrs. Xu had an idea in mind, but she didn't nod directly: "Let's talk about it after the Chinese New Year."

Seeing that the old lady did not refuse, the captain relaxed his tension and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, let's talk about it after the New Year."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Jiajia's six children again. He forgot to look away when he saw them. "These are all Jiajia's. Mom, they are so good-looking and well-raised."

The six children were too young to teach and shouted in unison: "Grandpa——"

The captain sighed and said, "Grandpa didn't bring any candy. I'll give it to you next time, okay?"

The six children said in unison, "Thank you, Grandpa. We don't want any candy."

Sitting on a bullock cart.

Shaking.

Xiao Yiyi found it very interesting: "Mom, is this a bullock cart? Very interesting."

Xu Jiajia lowered her eyes to look at the little Yiyi in her arms and asked in a low voice: "Do you like it?"

Xiao Yiyi nodded heavily: "I like it very much."

The country roads are difficult to walk on.

The captain was afraid of the bumpy ride, so he drove much slower than usual.

There is no entrance to the village yet.

Looking from a distance, there are many people standing there.

Those with good eyesight saw the captain coming back and instantly became excited: "He's back, he's back, a bullock cart."
