"Mom, that's enough."
Su Feng hurriedly stopped his mother from stuffing wild delicacies into his backpack. The mushrooms, fungus, and dried bamboo shoots here were all very good. They were all picked up by the family in the mountains and dried.
"I'll give you these first. They take up space but are not heavy. You can take them back and share them with your colleagues and leaders. I'll send the rest to you and you can keep them for yourself. These things are free and very delicious."
Qiao Jiuru stuffed half of his backpack with wild delicacies, and the remaining space was for his son to pack his own things.
Su Feng nodded. It's not that he didn't understand these social practices. In recent days, his parents had instilled in him the experience of getting along with others, fearing that he would suffer losses if he didn't know anything.
"You have seen how we have been doing here. It is not as difficult as you think. Don't worry, go back and work hard."
"Also, take this five dollars. This money is not for you to use. You can send us some seafood every three or four months. Use this money and save your own salary to eat and drink well. Don't treat yourself badly."
Qiao Jiuru personally put a rabbit fur vest that he had hurriedly made during the Chinese New Year into her son's hand. There were seven pieces of solidarity money, totaling five yuan, sewn into the secret pockets of the vest.
If there was no cash now, she would at least put two or three dollars in for her son.
Now, in order to avoid being noticed, she only gave her daughter five dollars. Later, she planned to let her daughter send one dollar to her brother every quarter, which would be four dollars a year.
However, Su Feng doesn't know her decision yet.
Ever since Su Feng saw with his own eyes the few dollars and a few gold bars that his parents showed him, he realized that his family was really rich and his parents were really not short of money here.
Moreover, my mother secretly told me that my sister had captured an enemy spy and had been rewarded with a place in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers College, but my sister refused and sold it for one or two yuan.
Yes, even his sister is not short of money.
Apart from my younger sister, even my older brother's family seemed to have plenty of money. My mother said she gave my older brother and his wife several dollars, and even secretly sewed some gold leaves on their clothes.
Su Feng: “…”
He seemed to be the poorest in the family. Although he received a salary, he dared not spend it except on books and daily necessities.
Now, after seeing with his own eyes that his home was not what he had imagined before, he did not refuse the money his mother gave him.
It's just that he can't use it, but maybe someone in his family can use it.
After packing his son's luggage, Su Feng set out at dawn on the first day of the new year, carrying his backpack.
Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan, Su Ze and Zhou Wanwan, Su Huazhu, and 께书 all stood at the door and watched Su Feng leave from afar.
"Mom, I can't bear to leave my brother."
Su Huazhu's eyes were red. She wiped her eyes with her hand, hugged Qiao Jiuru's arm and muttered to herself.
In fact, Qiao Jiuru was also reluctant to leave his son. If he had not been reported that year, the family would not have been separated.
Moreover, they were separated by thousands of miles and hadn't seen each other for several years. Qiao Jiuru couldn't help but worry and miss her son.
"It will be fine. It will get better in the end. Let's wait a little longer. Maybe in a few years, our family will be reunited."
Su Huaiyuan was also very sad. He didn't send his son to the county train station in person, but just watched him go away. But seeing his wife and daughter sad, he quickly comforted them.
"I also believe what Dad said, and Xiaofeng is not stupid. He knows what to do in the end."
His younger brother is smarter than himself. Su Ze is not really worried about him now. He believes that his younger brother will do very well.
Uncle Jiu knew that Su Feng was leaving on the first day of the New Year, and he had agreed with Bai Lianshan the day before to let the production team's ox cart take him to the commune to catch a bus.
It was just after nine o'clock when Su Feng was sent to the commune. Then he was lucky enough to get on the bus that passed by the commune and went to the county town. Then he arrived in the county at around two o'clock in the morning.
After arriving in the county, Su Feng went to the train station to buy a train ticket. It happened to be a train at around three o'clock, so he went to a nearby state-owned restaurant to have a meal.
There is no direct train to the south, so you have to go to Beijing first. After sitting on the train for one or two nights, Su Feng finally returned to Beijing again.
He came here from the south in a hurry a few years ago. He only wanted to see his family, so he did not stay in Beijing.
Now he had no more worries and planned to stay in Beijing for one night.
He definitely couldn't go back to his old home, so Su Feng directly booked a room near the train station with a letter of introduction. After putting down his luggage and washing up, he went out to buy some things and went to Uncle Zhang's house.
"께峰, when did you come back?! Come in quickly."
After Fang Xinyu opened the door, she found that the person who came was Su Feng. She was so surprised that she couldn't believe her eyes.
"Aunt Fang, I came from my parents' production team. I went there to celebrate the New Year."
Su Feng was also very happy to see Fang Xinyu. After he went to the southern islands, he often sent seafood to Zhang Bo and his friends, and Zhang Bo and his friends also wrote to him to keep in touch.
"Have you gone to see your parents?! Are they okay?! How are they doing?! Is there anything we can help you with?!"
When Fang Xinyu heard this, she immediately asked him about his concern and poured him some water. Although she often sent things to Qiao Jiuru, she was actually quite worried.
After Su Feng sat down, he talked to Fang Xinyu about the production team and the situation of his family.
However, he did not tell the truth, nor did he say that his family lived well there. He just said that they were not hungry or cold, there was a kang in the house, and they hibernated in winter. Generally, the hardest time was spring ploughing and autumn harvest, but the guys also lived like this.
