Wan Feng then remembered why his sister didn't believe what Chen Cang said. This guy used to gamble every day. Why would his sister believe the words of a gambling devil?
"Sister, I haven't gambled with money once since I moved to Wahou Team. Otherwise, why would I move to Wahou? If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Wan." Chen Cang suddenly understood why the sister didn't believe him.
"Aunt Chen, your brother is telling the truth. He came to our Wahou to gamble at the beginning of autumn, so I moved him from that gambling den in Dashutun to Wahou. The main reason is that Chen Wenxin and I were deskmates. Otherwise, your brother would still be the same person. If you are worried, you can go back with me to see him. I guess you haven't been back to Jiangwei for many years. Take this opportunity to go back and see him. It may not be easy for you to go back in the future."
Chen Ju said sadly, "My parents are gone, who can I go back to?"
“Just look at the environment where I lived when I was a child, and the mountains and rivers of my hometown.”
Chen Ju hesitated again: "Okay, while I can still move, and since it's winter now, I'll go back and take a look."
Since Chen Ju was going to visit the back of the house, she naturally had to explain something to her family. Wan Feng didn't want to listen to other people's secrets, so he left the house.
The three drivers and the firewood sellers had already secured the car with large ropes and were now ready to set off.
More than ten minutes later, Chen Ju finally came out of the house with her daughter Gu Qiaoling.
Both mother and daughter changed into clean but not new clothes.
His husband and son accompanied him all the way to the gate.
After starting, the tractor carefully drove along the bumpy road in the village, out of the village and onto the rural road, heading towards the Daying Commune. Ten minutes later, it stopped in front of the restaurant of the Daying Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
It's already past twelve o'clock, so of course it's time to eat.
There was no one in the restaurant, and the chefs and waiters were all warming themselves around the stove.
In order to save time, Wan Feng ordered two stir-fried dishes and a hot pot. The three drivers, himself, Chen Cang, Chen Cang's sister and her daughter were just enough to fill one table.
The first thing to come up was the hot pot, the old-fashioned copper hot pot with a small chimney in the middle. Charcoal was placed in the chimney and the hot pot was filled with soup.
Don't expect any vegetables in this season. Two cabbages are good enough, and the rest is just mutton and rice.
Eating hot pot is the most suitable thing in winter.
The chef took a lamb leg knife and quickly cut the lamb slices. Wan Feng was stunned by the chef's skillful knife skills and the lamb slices falling like snowflakes.
The mutton slices looked like they were machine-processed, with almost uniform size and thickness, and he was incredibly fast. He could cut a plate of mutton slices in just two or three minutes.
Damn, it’s true that there are top talents in every field.
Wan Feng picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and threw it into the hot pot.
"Don't just throw everything in. We still have to keep going after we finish eating."
The three drivers also picked up the mutton and threw it into the hot pot. Chen Ju and her daughter obviously didn't know how to do this and were a little at a loss.
They are all farmers working in the fields, so no one should look down on each other. Wan Feng taught them how to eat.
"When you see the meat slices floating up instead of red, you can eat them. Don't be shy to scoop them out with your chopsticks. If you're shy, you won't be able to eat them. These drivers can eat like wolves." Wan Feng said as he picked up a piece of mutton from the hot pot and gave it to Chen Ju and her daughter respectively.
Although the three drivers were tractor drivers and had traveled all over the country, they ate heartily without any hesitation. If Chen Ju and her daughter were embarrassed, they might not even be able to drink the soup.
An old driver seemed to want to drink a few more sips of the wine, but Wan Feng righteously refused him. There was snow on the road and you wanted to drink. What a joke! You are not afraid of death, but I don’t want anything to happen.
It took more than half an hour to eat. After the meal, the tractor started again and continued on the journey.
An hour and a half later, the tractor entered Jiangwei territory.
The tractor stopped at the entrance of Xiaoshutun Village.
"Uncle Chen Cang, take these two tractors to the school and ask them to arrange for someone to unload the firewood."
"You're not going over?"
Of course Wan Feng would not go. He was a patient now. How could it be appropriate for a patient who was announced by the school to recuperate at home to go to school and jump around?
"I won't go over there. You don't have to say anything when you go. Just tell the school to arrange for someone to unload the car."
Tractors cannot take the road in Xiaoshutun Village to get to the school. The big ditch is simply too big for tractors to pass through. They can only take the rural road at the south end of Xiaoshutun Village that leads directly to Heijiao Commune, go around to Dashutun, and then go to the school.
Chen Cang took the two tractors to the school, and Wan Feng took this tractor to the east end.
The street in front of grandma's house couldn't accommodate a large vehicle like a 60 tractor, so we could only dig into the fields from Lao Li's house and slowly drive to the front door of Grandma Wanfeng's house.
Wan Feng let Chen Ju and her daughter into the house, planning to unload the car before taking them to Chen Cang's house, which would take a while.
After untying the cable and opening the car door, Zhu Ping pulled it down with a two-toothed shovel, and Wan Feng jumped onto the car and threw it down.
More than twenty minutes later, a cart of firewood was unloaded.
After Wan Feng paid the driver and sent him away, he said to Zhu Ping, "You'll be responsible for finding a place to stack the firewood. I have something else to do."
Before Chen Cang came back, Wan Feng took Chen Ju and her mother to Luan Feng's house.
Luan Feng was explaining tailoring to the new trainees in the workshop when Li Erman ran in hurriedly with her trousers in her hands.
"Master, something bad has happened. Mistress... your family has brought back two more women, really, and one of them is old."
Luan Feng rolled her eyes: "Didn't you go to the bathroom?"
"Yeah, I saw it when I was in the bathroom. They came in right away."
Luan Feng turned her head and saw Wan Feng leading two women, one old and one young, into her yard.
"Aunt Chen, this is the Luan Feng home I mentioned. This building is the workshop of the clothing store. Please come in!"
Wan Feng opened the outer door of the workshop, pushed open the inner door, and invited Chen Ju and her mother into the workshop.
As soon as she entered the room, Chen Ju was stunned. There were more than ten sewing machines in the room, and more than a dozen women were busy working.
Luan Feng walked over.
"Feng'er, this is Chen Cang's sister and her daughter. What are their names?"
"Gu Qiaoling." Chen Ju said her daughter's name.
Luan Feng said generously: "Hello, welcome to our home."
Very good, very good. The girl is teachable. Luan Feng has already learned to speak human language.
"Qiaoling is planning to study and work here. She's never been far away in her life, so Aunt Chen is worried, so she came along to check on her. You take them to see our workshop, and I'll go see what Master Feng has done... Eh?"
At a glance, Wan Feng was surprised to find two more sewing machines in the room.
The original ten sewing machines were all placed against the west window, but these two were standing alone against the east wall, and no one was using them.
