There was no expression on Lin Chaoyang's face. After a while, he sighed.
"Got it. Live your life well from now on."
In the end, he said nothing and turned away silently.
Second uncle and second aunt have already begun preparing for Lin Chaoyun's funeral.
The Chinese New Year was just two days away, but this kind of thing happened at home.
"Yangzi, I won't invite you to the banquet. There's not enough food over there. Just come over and have a cup of tea."
"The commune said we are not allowed to organize it, so we can just set up a shed and burn some paper."
"I have already made an appointment with Carpenter Tian to make the coffin. I will bury it next to your parents."
Lin Chaoyang nodded one by one. He had no objection at all.
Two days later, Carpenter Tian worked hard to make the coffin.
After the simple funeral, New Year's Eve is approaching.
On New Year's Eve of that year, the festive atmosphere in my second uncle's house faded a lot.
At the table, my second uncle still raised a glass of wine.
"After the Chinese New Year, Yangzi will go to school. This is the happiest event in our family."
"From now on, you guys have to learn from your brother Yangzi and study hard. Do you hear me?"
Several children from my second uncle's family nodded one after another. The older ones had no hope, but the younger ones still had hope.
Lin Chaoyang also encouraged them to study hard, saying that if they could get into college in the future, their uncle and aunt would really have hope.
As we were about to enter the 1980s, many new industries would emerge, and all the graduates from universities would be highly talented.
His second uncle's family didn't live very well in his previous life, and Lin Chaoyang hoped to change the fate of his cousins a little bit.
After the New Year’s Eve family reunion dinner, Lin Chaoyang packed his luggage and prepared to leave for Guangzhou with Xingxing.
The start time of school this year was very rushed, almost right after the Chinese New Year.
Lin Chaoyang had to go to Yangcheng to find a suitable house and a school for Xingxing, so he had to leave early.
The bus to Yangcheng takes two days and two nights, so they will set off on the third day of the New Year.
Actually, there was nothing much to pack.
He and Xingxing had almost packed up their things when they left the coal mine.
But my second uncle and aunt would never let it go. Every now and then they would think of something and want to stuff it into his luggage bag.
If Lin Chaoyang couldn't carry so many things by himself, they would have wanted to move their entire home to him.
On the morning of the third day of the New Year, when it was still dark, my second uncle's family got up early.
Today is the day when Lin Chaoyang and Lin Chaoxing set out for Yangcheng.
They took the bus at around 8 o'clock in the morning, so they had to leave home before daybreak.
Second Aunt took out the meat dumplings for the New Year and cooked a pot of them, and also cooked a bag of eggs for them.
The whole family went out and accompanied Lin Chaoyang and Lin Chaoxing to the county town.
Accompanied by the Morning Star, the family walked to the county town.
When we arrived at the county town, it was already daybreak and the streets were bustling.
After sending Lin Chaoyang and Lin Chaoxing to the station, the second uncle and second aunt were reluctant to let them go.
"Take good care of yourself in Yangcheng, and remember to write me a letter to let me know you're doing well."
"I still have to come back for the Chinese New Year. No matter what, I have to go home for the Chinese New Year to reunite with my family."
Lin Chaoyang nodded. He might not have that much time to come back to see them, but he would definitely come back during the Chinese New Year.
Seeing that he agreed, his uncle and aunt became happy and sent them to the station.
The train was scheduled for 8 o'clock, and it was almost 8 o'clock now. The group went directly to the platform with their luggage.
Not long after, the train honked and entered the station.
Lin Chaoyang carried the luggage, held Lin Chaoxing's hand, said goodbye to his second uncle's family, and got in the car.
"Remember to write to me! Don't forget!"
The second uncle kept waving at him, and the car started slowly.
Lin Chaoyang watched his second uncle's family getting farther and farther away until they were out of sight.
The car rattled forward and soon drove out of Fuyuan County.
After two days and two nights of driving, the car finally arrived at their destination, Yangcheng.
As soon as he got off the car, Lin Chaoyang felt a warmth.
The climate in Yangcheng is much warmer than their hometown. Fortunately, he prepared early and took off his cotton-padded jacket.
Lin Chaoxing looked at Yangcheng Station with curiosity.
Yangcheng is a large city, much larger than Fuyuan County. Even the railway station looks very grand.
After leaving the station, Lin Chaoxing was stunned again.
Outside the station is a wide road with many people riding bicycles and blue and white cars passing by.
He had never seen these scenes when he was in Fuyuan County.
"Xingxing, we will live in this city from now on. If there is a chance, I will take you to Beijing and Shanghai, and we will go see the world together."
Lin Chaoxing nodded excitedly, his eyes still constantly looking at this novel place.
Lin Chaoyang took Lin Chaoxing on the bus and got off near Yangcheng University.
With the admission letter and the introduction letter, he was able to move into a guesthouse near the university smoothly.
Lin Chaoxing was surprised by the environment of the guesthouse. He had never stayed in such a place before.
After settling Lin Chaoxing down, Lin Chaoyang had to go out and find a house quickly.
You can only stay in the guesthouse for a few days at most. Once the registration time comes, you can no longer stay here.
He has to find a suitable house before the reporting time.
After leaving the guesthouse, he went straight to the nearby residential area.
He wanted to rent a house near the school so that it would be more convenient for him to go to and from school and go home.
The residential area nearby was a maze of intricate alleys, so Lin Chaoyang just knocked on the door of a house at random.
The person who opened the door was a young woman. She looked at Lin Chaoyang curiously.
"Young man, who are you looking for?"
Lin Chaoyang smiled at her, "Sister, I came to Yangcheng to study. I want to ask if there is a house to rent nearby?"
The young woman raised her eyebrows and said, "Rent a house? Go to the back. There is a broken cart at the door. There are houses for rent over there."
Lin Chaoyang thanked the girl quickly and went as she said.
After walking for a while, I arrived at the alley and finally saw the broken cart that the young woman mentioned.
Lin Chaoyang knocked on the door, and after a long time, someone finally opened it.
The person who opened the door was an old lady with gray hair.
Before the old lady could speak, Lin Chaoyang asked, "Old lady, is there a house to rent here?"
The old lady was startled, then nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I have several rooms for rent."
As she spoke, the old lady opened the door and motioned for Lin Chaoyang to come in.
Lin Chaoyang entered the courtyard and found that the courtyard was quite spacious with several rooms.
"This is the kitchen, next to it is the toilet, this is the room I live in, the other rooms are available for rent."
Lin Chaoyang asked casually, "Old lady, you rent out all the houses? Then won't your family have nowhere to live when they come back?"
The old lady was silent for a moment, then sighed, "They are all gone, and I am the only one left at home."
