"Besides you two, there are a few other workers in our village. Besides the two who have already gone home, there are two more who I need to pick up after dinner!"
The entrance to the town has been guarded. Except for the village chiefs who come personally to lead people, it is impossible for others to leave the town.
After taking a few bites of the hot pot, Jiang Xian finally felt warm.
"I see, then you two should eat quickly!"
"Yan Li, come with me to pack up!"
"Xiaojun, you and Niuniu should also pack two sets of your clothes. You don't need to bring anything else. We have everything at home!"
"Bring two changes of clothes and some snacks if you like. We're riding bikes home this time, so we can't take much with us. Don't pack too much!"
After Tang Xinyi gave instructions to the two little ones, she and Jiang Yanli began to pack their things.
She turned her back to everyone and put her luggage into the space.
Then I only packed a set of clothes and some supplementary food.
She had originally planned to take these things back to Qingshan Brigade, but she hadn't had a holiday, so they were piled up here.
Now that his father-in-law is here, they can take advantage of the opportunity to take more back while there are so many people around.
But she didn't know whether the other two workers had bicycles. If they didn't, she would have to find a way to get one.
Jiang Xian quickly finished his meal, put on his thick cotton jacket again and left the yard.
"My daughters-in-law, take your time packing. I'm going to pick up the two kids from the factory first and will be back to meet you later!"
Jiang Xian said something to Tang Xinyi who was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen, then rode his bike out.
"Dad, please drive slowly!"
Tang Xinyi stood at the kitchen door and said something to her father-in-law from behind.
Then I went back to clean the kitchen.
This time, we don’t know how long it will take for the Qingshan Brigade to come back, so we have to clean up the house so that there will be no trouble when we come back.
Zheng Xiulian also helped. The pot on the kang table had been removed, the bones had been eaten clean, and most of the soup had been drunk.
I can’t keep the remaining bowl of soup either, it would be a pity to throw it away.
Tang Xinyi then put it into a bowl and took it to the next room.
"Aunt Wang, our supply and marketing cooperative is on holiday, so we have to go back to Qingshan Brigade now!"
"I have some leftovers at home, and I thought it would be a pity to throw them away, so I brought them to your house. You can keep any that you can eat, and if you can't, I'll save the rest to feed you Da Huang!"
Tang Xinyi took two big steamed buns as big as face plates, half a bowl of leftovers, a bowl of leftover soup from the hot pot, and some leftover vegetable leaves from the hot pot.
"Xiao Tang is going home, is it because of what happened today?"
Aunt Wang copied the things Tang Xinyi brought over into a bowl and then returned the empty bowl to her.
"That's right. Who knew this year would be so difficult? There's famine in the south, and a spy has appeared."
“Life is so hard for ordinary people!”
Tang Xinyi sighed, chatted with Aunt Wang for a while, asked her to help look after the yard, and then went back home.
I washed the dishes with hot water and cleaned the kitchen before locking the kitchen door and checking everyone's luggage.
"Is everything almost cleaned up?"
As soon as I entered the house, I saw my mother-in-law dressing the two little ones.
Each one is wrapped in three layers inside and outside like a meat dumpling.
Tang Xinyi found it funny to see Niu Niu's small body having difficulty moving.
But it's really cold outside, so it's better to wear more clothes.
"Ding-ling-ling~"
When you hear the sound of these bells, you know that your father-in-law has come to pick someone up.
Tang Xinyi went to open the gate of the yard. Jiang Xian followed two young men, who were pushing a bicycle. It seemed that she didn't need to borrow a bicycle.
"Are you guys packed? If you're ready, we'll leave!"
Jiang Xian glanced at his daughter-in-law, then asked Zheng Xiulian who came out from behind.
"Okay, okay, I'll be waiting for you!"
Zheng Xiulian was holding the two little ones, while Jiang Yanzhi and Jiang Yanli, brother and sister, were pushing two bicycles.
Tang Xinyi walked at the end and locked all the doors.
Seeing the two young men riding their bikes wearing thin work gloves, he felt sorry for them, so he opened the door of his room and took out a pair of cotton gloves.
"These gloves are a welfare provided by our supply and marketing cooperative. You can't do that. Hurry and put on these gloves!"
After leaving the yard, Tang Xinyi handed the cotton gloves to the young man pushing the cart.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll return the gloves to you when I get back!"
The man's hands had been frozen for a long time, but he didn't have any cotton gloves, and even the car was lent to him by a colleague in town.
He was wearing a thin pair of work gloves and didn't know how he would make it home. He didn't expect his sister-in-law to be so thoughtful.
"I was negligent in doing this!"
"Kid, why don't you just tell me to put on your cotton gloves!"
It was not until his daughter-in-law said this that Jiang Xian noticed the young man's hands.
"Brother Jiang, why don't you let me ride for a while? My hands are still warm!"
Another young man saw that his buddy's hands were frozen, so he took the cotton gloves from his buddy and put them on his own hands, then stretched out his legs and sat on the bicycle.
"Okay, you ride for a while first, and when you can't stand the cold anymore, I'll take over!"
Someone was willing to take over, and the young man surnamed Jiang quickly put his hands in his cloth pocket.
Only then did I feel a little better.
"Niuniu, come sit on the front bumper of my car!"
Jiang Xian waved to the little Niuniu and carried her to the front bumper of his car.
Seeing that she was wearing thick gloves, I felt relieved and let her hold the steering wheel to steady herself.
Jiang Yanzhi carried He Xianjun to the front bumper of his car, then stretched out his long legs and sat on the back seat.
"Wife, get in the car, let's go!"
Jiang Yanzhi made all the necessary preparations before inviting his young wife to get in the car.
Because he is tall and has long legs, he can keep both feet firmly on the ground when sitting on the bicycle seat.
So unlike other men, he has to start riding the bike first before letting his wife jump on it.
"I'll lock the gate first. Dad, you take Mom and ride ahead. Yanzhi and I will catch up soon!"
Tang Xinyi said something to her father-in-law, then turned around to close the gate and lock it with an iron lock.
My sister-in-law had already caught up with the village chief and others in front on her bike.
Tang Xinyi sat down on the back seat of the car, holding the back seat with one hand and holding Jiang Yanzhi's waist with the other.
"Set off!"
Following Tang Xinyi's command, the bicycle rushed out like an arrow and quickly caught up with the team in front.
When we arrived at the entrance of the town, we found that there was already a long queue.
The village heads of each village were taking the workers from their own villages to be inspected at the exit.
