After a few days, Xu Xiangyang went home when he had time.
I could only stay for one day this time, but that was enough.
Early in the morning, Xu Xiangyang went out before dawn. Although it was very cold outside, there were no pedestrians on the road.
He was riding the security guard's old bicycle on the road. Although the bicycle was very old, it was very easy to ride and it didn't matter if others saw it.
When acquaintances see it, they just say it’s borrowed. Anyway, this large-frame bicycle is very suitable for this era.
He was not in a hurry along the way and rode slowly.
There is a lot of snow on the road. If you fall, you will die.
Not far from the village, Xu Xiangyang put his bicycle into the space and walked home carrying the backpack he had prepared long ago.
At this time, every household got up to cook, and it was already light at around seven in the morning.
"Hey, this is Goudan from Old Xu's family. He's back from the city to visit his relatives." An old lady carrying firewood saw him and greeted him.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, "Auntie, get up and cook."
The original owner had an impression of this person in his memory, so calling her "Auntie" was definitely correct.
"Well, let's go home soon." She nodded and turned to go into the house.
Most of the people in the village are related to each other, so there are not many bad things to say.
Moreover, although Xu Xiangyang had not been doing his job properly before, he had not done anything sneaky, so everyone just looked down on him, but did not despise him.
When he arrived at the door, Xu Xiangyang saw Wang Xiumin pouring water.
He was stunned for a moment when he saw the person coming.
"Goudan?! Why are you back?" She threw down the泔水袋 in her hand and quickly came to Xu Xiangyang.
"Why are you back at such a late hour?"
Xu Xiangyang smiled and replied, "I came back to see you guys during the holiday. Come inside first."
He was carrying something very heavy on his back and his shoulders were hurting.
Wang Xiumin slapped her thigh and said, "Look at me! Let's go inside quickly! It must be cold all the way here!"
"Isn't it cold? But I'm wearing enough clothes, so it's not that cold." Xu Xiangyang said as he followed her into the house.
The other families outside the Xu family all leaned over to look, especially when they saw the backpack that Xu Xiangyang was carrying, they were all jealous.
But they didn't come over. After all, the couple were not pushovers. Not only would they not get anything good out of it, they might even get into trouble.
"Hurry up and get up! It's so late, why are you still sleeping like this!" Wang Xiumin woke up Xu Guangtian who was sleeping on the kang and lifted up the quilt.
Xu Guangtian felt pain on his face while he was sleeping. When he opened his eyes, he saw his wife staring at him.
"What, what happened?" He covered his face and looked at the person in front of him in confusion.
Wang Xiumin rolled her eyes. "What's going on? It's already late. Hurry up and get up. I didn't see Goudan come back."
She knew her man's temperament too well. He was just habitually lazy.
However, this man is still very good to his family and has been working frequently recently. At least the food supply for the two of them will not be lost.
Xu Xiangyang put down the backpack, shook his sore shoulders, and then sat down on the edge of the kang.
"I'll go cook, Goudan, wait a moment." Wang Xiumin hurried to cook, fearing that her beloved son would be hungry.
Isn't he a treasure now? He's the pillar of the family.
Xu Xiangyang wanted to say that he had already eaten, but seeing her enthusiastic look, he didn't feel comfortable saying it.
For breakfast, Wang Xiumin made dumpling soup with cabbage and animal oil, which tasted quite delicious.
"It smells so good!" Xu Guangtian wiped his mouth after eating and smacked his lips as if savoring the taste.
Wang Xiumin rolled her eyes. "This is all thanks to Goudan. If Goudan hadn't come back, we'd still be eating corn porridge today."
There was another thing she didn't say: eating corn porridge won't fill you up.
Normally they would have a bowl of porridge in the morning and then have the same meal for the second time in the afternoon.
Working at this time is not physically demanding, and everyone eats about the same amount, with some families even having a full meal.
It’s a bit ridiculous to not eat for a day. No matter how bad the conditions are, you can still afford to eat.
At this time, as long as you are willing to work hard, no family will starve to death.
Even during the three-year period, in the Northeast, a place with abundant resources, those who worked hard would not starve.
The mushrooms, wild vegetables and prey in the mountains can fill your stomach even if there is no food.
After dinner, Xu Guangtian went to work in the team. At that time, everyone was doing odd jobs. One person could get about five work points, so even if he did nothing, he could still earn some income.
After Wang Xiumin saw the old man leave, she started talking to Xu Xiangyang about family matters.
"Goudan, how is work? Are you tired?" She seemed to be unaware that Xu Xiangyang had changed jobs.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and said, "Sometimes I'm tired, but it's okay. However, I changed jobs."
Looking at Wang Xiumin's expression, he knew that his family didn't know about his work.
"What? Change job?" Wang Xiumin knew nothing about what was happening in the city.
Xu Xiangyang explained it and then saw her expression become very surprised.
"driver?!"
Wang Xiumin looked at her son in front of her in surprise. Although she didn't know what was happening in the city, she knew very well what a driver was.
That is the most popular profession, but that is only what they think at the moment.
What city dwellers like most are jobs like salespersons in supply and marketing cooperatives, or those working in grocery stores or hospitals.
However, they also appreciate the convenience of other people's jobs. Now that material supplies are insufficient, as long as family members are involved in these occupations, it will be convenient for the whole family.
"Goudan, you've really made it!" Wang Xiumin stood up happily, feeling that her life was really good now.
Life is full of hope!
Xu Xiangyang smiled without saying anything, then lifted the backpack onto the kang.
"This is what I bought from the city. Don't be frugal with me and my dad at home. Eat it when you need it. I earn a lot of money." He said as he took out the things.
Bacon, frozen meat, 50 kilograms of cornmeal, 10 kilograms of white flour, and one kilogram of soybean oil.
He also found a lot of cloth in the space, but he only took out two pieces of cotton cloth, one black and the other dark blue.
This fabric looks very strong and wear-resistant, and is very suitable for making clothes.
Wang Xiumin looked at the things in front of her, and her heart still felt heavy.
She has seen the changes in Xu Xiangyang these days. Her son has become successful, can earn money, and now has become a driver.
It's an honor to talk about this, not to mention that my son is becoming more and more family-oriented.
Yes, I’m almost twenty years old. How could I still be as ignorant as before?
Who doesn’t want their children to succeed? Wang Xiumin is no exception.
Otherwise, she would not have sent her child to school despite Mrs. Xu's opposition.
No matter how hard or tiring it is, she believes that children must study so that they will have a bright future.
Every time she saw Xu Xiangmin from the Xu family next door, she would tell herself that her children would be more successful than others in the future.
