Lao Mo always felt that this person's eyes seemed familiar, but he was sure he had never seen this person before. He scratched his head, shrank his shoulders, and slowly took a step back.
Lu Zhiye urged the old man driving the ox cart to move forward. Lao Mo also realized at this time that this man might not be here to pick him up!
His eyes rolled around, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He hurriedly followed the ox cart.
After arriving at the cowshed, Cen Guoan's family had already packed their bags.
Speaking of packages, there wasn't actually anything in them. Even the whole grain noodles he had saved up, Cen Guoan distributed them to those who had helped him in the past.
The quilts in the house had all turned into black lumps and could not be taken out at all. The clothes they wore were even more torn, and it was impossible to tell which were patches and which were good clothes!
So they prepared not to take anything with them and left them all in the cowshed!
These things are valuable to the people in the bullpen!
Their quilts are all lumpy and don’t keep them warm at all in winter!
In this way, having an extra quilt means having more hope of surviving in winter!
These people do the hardest and most tiring work, receive the least food, and are starving and cold in the winter when they have nothing to eat!
Everyone wanted to lie in bed and not move!
At this time, a warm quilt shows its importance!
A few people who were on good terms with him looked at him with envy and sadness when they learned that Cen Guoan and the others were leaving.
They don’t know what their future holds. Will they die of old age in this smelly cowshed?
As the sound of the old man driving the ox cart came, Cen Guoan and his family quickly stood up.
Qiao Xiuping excitedly clenched her daughter's hand until she cried out, "Mom. It hurts."
She suddenly realized what was happening and quickly let go of her daughter's hand.
Old Mrs. Cen gently patted her daughter-in-law's hand, signaling her to stay calm.
But her trembling fingertips still revealed her thoughts at the moment.
Lu Zhiye jumped off the ox cart and shouted into the cowshed in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Cen, I'm here to take you back to the city.
I have all the necessary documents in hand, and now I'm waiting for you to go to the brigade headquarters to sign and stamp them!"
Cen Guoan tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that kept curling up, straightened his clothes, and strode out.
How could he still look like the embarrassed state he was in a few days ago?
His high-spirited look made many people in the yard grit their teeth!
As Cen Guoan went out, Old Lady Cen carried a small bag on her back. Qiao Xiuping held a doll in each hand and followed behind Old Lady Cen, walking quickly forward.
This was Mr. Cen's arrangement. Once this news spread, the people in the bullpen would be like dogs smelling a bone.
It clings to you tightly, so it's better to leave as soon as possible!
As expected, some people in the cowshed tried to move forward, but the Cen family, young and old, ran faster than the donkey in the cowshed!
Some people who were quick-witted slipped into Cen Guoan and the others' room while no one was paying attention!
Looking at the black quilt and clothes on the bed, their eyes lit up.
Go forward and hold all these things in your arms!
Then he searched the entire house again, found usable pots, pans, stools, etc., and carried them all into his room!
This action of the man naturally attracted the attention of others!
For a moment, no one cared about Cen Guoan and the others, and they all rushed into the house!
In less than five minutes, the entire house except for the wooden boards on the door had been removed!
Someone happily hugged the clothes in his arms, two cotton coats!
Just make some slight modifications, stuff it into your old cotton-padded clothes, and you won’t be afraid of winter anymore!
The man who grabbed the quilt was the happiest and quickly made it tightly on his doll's bed!
This scene makes people feel sad!
Lu Zhiye followed Cen Jia and walked towards the brigade headquarters together.
The captain opened his cloudy old eyes, puffed on his pipe, and asked, "Are all the procedures complete?"
"Yes, this is the information from Heilongjiang Province. This is the stamp from the county. Now we just need you to stamp it!"
The team leader took a closer look and handed a few more pieces of paper to the branch secretary!
The branch secretary adjusted his glasses, which had a broken leg, and said slowly, "It is indeed in accordance with the procedures!"
Now the two of them are eager to send Cen Guoan and his family away.
I was afraid that he would bring up old grudges with me!
After leaving the brigade headquarters, Cen Guoan's eyes turned red. He looked up at the sky and finally managed to hold back his tears!
But the sobbing of his daughter-in-law behind him made him feel even more sad.
"Are we really leaving this place?
Woohoo, this is something I wouldn’t even dare to dream of!”
As soon as the two children saw their mother crying, they rushed forward to comfort her!
Lu Zhiye whispered, "I bought a ticket for the 4 o'clock train in the afternoon. Let's go quickly, otherwise it will be too late!
There is only this one train to the county town right now, and the next one will be in two days!
"Old man, have you packed all your things?"
Cen Guoan quickly wiped away his tears, nodded and said, "It's nothing, I've brought everything I need!"
"That's fine. I just had the ox cart parked at the village entrance. Let's get going now."
A group of people hurried towards the village entrance, where there were a few women sitting and chatting!
As soon as he saw Cen Guoan's family, his eyes almost popped out!
"That family just now is from the cowshed, right?"
"They look familiar, it seems! They moved here from another brigade before. I heard that one of them even helped out at the village clinic."
"Now that you mention it, I remember. Isn't that the family whose son abandoned the whole family and returned to the city some time ago?"
"Yes, yes, that's their house. What are they doing there?"
"I see the old lady is carrying a package. Are they going back to the city as well?"
While everyone was talking, the team leader and the branch secretary also came over!
Seeing that everyone was craning their necks to look at the ox cart, the team leader knocked the tree trunk with his pipe, making a banging sound: "What are you looking at? What are you looking at?
Just take care of yourself, why worry about so many things all day long?"
Some were afraid of the captain, but some were not. An old man, who was related to the captain's family, quickly walked up to him and asked, "Erlangzi, has this family been rehabilitated and returned to the city?"
As soon as the captain heard the name "Erlangzi", he felt dizzy!
He pulled his cousin's arm and whispered, "Uncle, I've told you so many times, don't keep calling me by my nickname!
How do you let the villagers see me?"
The old man quickly slapped his mouth and said: "Look at my mouth, isn't this called a habit?
Tell me quickly, are they going to be rehabilitated and return to the city?"
The captain spoke in a low voice, his eyes flickering: "Indeed, it seems that the sky has changed in many places!"
