The person Yuan Fangguo was going to find was Liu Shengyong. He vaguely remembered that Liu Shengyong had told him before that one of his relatives was the vice principal of a township high school under Dabei County. If this was true, then the probability of success would definitely be much greater.
The next day, Yuan Fangguo got up early. Just as he walked out of the bedroom, he heard his sister scream at the door, "Wow, it's snowing."
He subconsciously raised his head and saw heavy snow falling from the sky. The snow was like goose feathers, covering the whole world in a world of white.
He couldn't help but shiver all over and quickly wrapped his cotton coat tightly.
The second brother Yuan Fangtai also got up at this time. Seeing the fourth sister jumping and dancing in the snow, as happy as a fairy, Yuan Fangtai quickly took out his camera and took a lot of pictures of his sister.
"What's that sound?" Yuan Fangan quickly noticed the camera in her second brother's hand, and her eyes lit up.
"Camera." Yuan Fangtai said with a smile, "Fourth sister, I took several pictures of you and will develop them for you later."
"Let me take a look." Yuan Fangan ran in.
"You can't see it now. You have to go to the photo studio to develop it before you can see it." Yuan Fangtai said patiently to his sister.
Yuan Fangan fiddled with it for a while, then ran into the kitchen and took several photos of his grandmother at the stove and his mother at the stove. "Grandma, let's take a family photo on New Year's Eve."
Qin Mingzhen smiled and said, "Okay."
At this moment, Yuan Chengzhu came in with a huge pile of dry firewood in his arms. He threw the firewood into the kitchen, patted the wood chips off his body, and said, "Mom, it's snowing heavily outside. Are you going to the market?"
"Go, of course." Qin Mingzhen had some presbyopia before, but her legs and feet were still flexible. On weekdays, the old lady could carry a large load of firewood back home from the woods several kilometers away.
"Okay, then Yongying will stay at home and watch over us. You don't have to worry about us at noon. I probably won't be back until the afternoon."
"Well, walk slowly, the snow is heavy." Chen Yongying reminded.
In the morning, they made noodles with臊子 (sauerkraut sauce) made from pork belly, served with fresh pea tips picked by Chen Yongying from the fields. Yuan Fangguo and his brothers ate a big bowl of it with relish.
After breakfast, Yuan Chengzhu prepared backpacks for his family.
He and his three sons each carried a large backpack, while his mother Qin Mingzhen and daughter Yuan Fangan carried backpacks.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the road down the mountain became a little muddy. Fortunately, Yuan Chengzhu had prepared crutches long ago, and everyone in the family had one, so they didn't slip when going down the mountain.
In fact, the road down the mountain is still suitable for bicycles, but Yuan Fangguo's family has always been poor and they can't afford to buy one.
When going down the mountain, Yuan Fangguo chatted with his father and told his father that he could actually buy a bicycle and a horse.
The purpose of buying a horse is certainly not to gallop on the meadow on the top of the mountain, but to help carry heavy objects on a daily basis.
"Go and have a look after the New Year, and you'll find it's definitely very expensive in the market right now," said Yuan Chengzhu.
After Yuan Fangguo responded, he couldn't help but pull the cotton hat on his back onto his head.
"Brother, you are just like the White-eyebrowed Hero." Yuan Fangan chuckled.
Yuan Fangmin also laughed, revealing a mouthful of missing teeth.
The whole family walked down the mountain very carefully. At ten o'clock in the morning, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The foot of the mountain is not far from the village, only kilometers away. Yuan Fangguo's Crown car is parked at the home of a distant relative at the foot of the mountain.
Yuan Chengzhu's family was not in a hurry to bring the TV, rice cooker and other things back home immediately. He told his son to go to the market first and buy all the New Year's goods such as Spring Festival couplets and New Year pictures, and then bring them back when he came back.
"Dad, the third brother and I may have to go to the county town. If we are not back when you come back, don't worry about us."
Yuan Chengzhu knew what his eldest son was going to do, and he nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
Yuan Fangtai also spoke up at this time, "Grandma, Dad, Fourth Sister, please take a ride in my comrade's car. Give me the backpack and I'll carry it to the street."
"If you carry him to the street, who will drive the car?" Yuan Chengzhu asked.
"Brother can drive, just sit there without worry." Yuan Fangtai said as he stacked up the backpacks.
"Dad, you have to trust my skills." Yuan Fangguo smiled and said, "Let's go."
"Let's get in the car..." Yuan Fangan got into the car excitedly.
Yuan Fangmin also looked excited. He had never ridden in this kind of car before. When he got in, he couldn't help but look left and right with a look of curiosity on his face.
Grandma Qin Mingzhen was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. With the help of her second grandson, she sat in the passenger seat.
A black car inexplicably appeared in the ravine, causing the surrounding residents to come out and take a look.
People who knew Yuan Chengzhu looked incredulous. How could the honest Yuan Chengzhu's son be so successful?
The temperature in the valley was very low, so Yuan Fangguo quickly turned on the heater. The warm wind made Yuan Fangan and Yuan Fangmin feel drowsy.
The 100-kilometer drive didn't take long, but Yuan Fangguo kept his speed to a minimum along the way, trying to keep his family in the car longer.
"Grandma, please take care of yourself. When I graduate from university, I'll bring you to Chengdu."
"What?" Qin Mingzhen asked her eldest grandson with a smile on her face. Yuan Fangmin and Yuan Fangan were chattering just now, so she couldn't hear clearly.
Yuan Fangguo repeated it again, and Qin Mingzhen nodded happily.
After arriving at the village, Yuan Fangguo asked his family to wait for his second brother in the car, but he got out of the car, found a store with a public telephone, and called Liu Shengyong's mobile phone.
Liu Shengyong's voice soon came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Brother Liu, it's me, Fang Guo."
"Oh, Fang Guo, you're home?"
"right."
"What a coincidence! I'm also in Dabei County. Can we get together at noon?"
"Okay, I have something I want to trouble you with."
"What is it?"
Yuan Fangguo told Liu Shengyong about his third brother's situation on the phone. When Liu Shengyong heard it, he couldn't help laughing.
"This is a matter of fact. I will ask him out at noon, and you can come too."
"Okay, then please let Brother Liu decide the location. It's my treat."
"What do you mean by treat or not? Let's just talk about this. Just come. I'll treat you. If you do, I really won't be pulling your strings anymore."
This is Liu Shengyong's character, and Yuan Fangguo kept thanking him on the phone.
After ending the call with Liu Shengyong, he originally wanted to call his girlfriend, but after thinking about it, he held back.
