Chapter 128 Dragon Boat Festival Return to the Village
Time flies and it is Hongmei's wedding day.
noon.
As soon as she got off work, Zhang Jing carried the little one to the repair shop.
After tying the little guy to Zhao Yi's back, the two of them walked towards Hong Mei's courtyard.
At the gate of the slum.
Liu Wentao put on clean work clothes, and so did Hong Mei. The two stood at the door to greet their co-workers.
"Congratulations."
Zhang Jing smiled when she saw Hong Mei.
"Thanks."
Hong Mei nodded.
This was the first time Zhao Yi saw Hong Mei. The last time Zhao Yi entertained his relatives at home, he had no time to look at the person who gave the gift. It was the person registered by Section Chief Wang, who was a person of little favor.
Although Hong Mei is the mother of three children, she still looks very outstanding and is not inferior to Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing has an oval face, a high nose bridge, a pair of big watery eyes, and a long black braid.
Zhao Yi didn't say anything and followed Zhang Jing inside.
The two families seemed to live across the street from each other, and people on both sides were accepting gifts.
Zhang Jing asked a few questions before walking towards Hong Mei's in-laws' house, gave a one-dollar gift, took two candies, and followed Zhao Yi out.
"Master Zhang, please stay for dinner before leaving."
As soon as she reached the door, Hong Mei saw Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi were about to leave and hurriedly tried to keep them.
"The room is full, and I have to work in the afternoon. I might not be able to make it in time for the next round."
Zhang Jing waved her hands quickly.
Zhang Jing looked at Hong Mei's mother-in-law's family and saw that there were five banquet tables in total, and they were all full.
As for the Liu family, Zhang Jing naturally would not take Zhao Yi to sit there since she didn't bring any gifts. There were eight tables set up at the Liu family's place, but less than half of them were occupied, and most of them were the sales clerks from the department store.
They should be considered neighbors in the yard. It seems that Master Liu’s co-workers from the steel plant canteen have not arrived yet.
Hearing this, Hong Mei had no way to keep them. As they left the gate of the slum, workers from a workshop in the garment factory arrived one after another. Thinking that these people had family matters, Hong Mei did not hesitate.
"Boss, we are going to distribute the Dragon Boat Festival benefits tomorrow. We have a day off for the Dragon Boat Festival. Where are we going to go?"
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"Where should we go? Let's go to Zhangjia Village."
Zhao Yi smiled.
The department store will not be closed on the Dragon Boat Festival, so Zhao Yi can make his own arrangements as long as he doesn't receive any complaints.
The Transportation Department did not deliver any home appliances this morning. Zhao Yi was very free today, and the Transportation Department will also be on holiday tomorrow, so naturally no home appliances will be sent for repair.
"What's fun in Zhangjia Village?"
Zhang Jing asked in confusion.
"It's fun. You'll know when you go there."
Zhao Yi smiled.
A few days ago, my father-in-law came over to deliver something to the supply and marketing cooperative, and came here to inform us, asking us to come back for the holiday and have a small gathering together.
"It's a good opportunity to send some things to my parents. She has been running to the city on her own for the past two months."
Zhao Yi thought about it and said.
Those three probably won't go back for the holidays, and Zhao Yi doesn't want to see them either. It would be bad if he goes back to spend the holidays with his father-in-law's family and doesn't go back to spend time with his own parents. In this life, his parents' attitude towards him is pretty good.
There are no rivers in the Dragon Boat Festival area, but there are reservoirs outside the city. There are no dragon boat races to watch.
There is one in Shanyang County, but it is very small and there is nothing to see.
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. There is only one bus at the bus station today, which is the morning bus from Shanyang County to the district, or from the district back to Shanyang County.
Zhang Jing packed the diapers, milk powder, bottles, and a set of clean clothes for the little one last night.
He tied the little guy to Zhao Yi's back, handed a bag of things to Zhao Yi, and walked happily in front with two gifts in his hands.
There are a lot of tractors outside Shanyang County today, many of them are educated youth from the commune who came to the city to celebrate the festival by tractors.
Groups of three or five go either to the park or to the cinema.
As for the villagers, they rushed to the team where the movie was being shown nearest.
They spent fifty cents to have the commune tractor take the family of three to the entrance of Wangou Village, and the three walked towards their parents' yard.
"Grandma's great treasure."
When Li Daju saw Zhao Yi carrying a little kid on his back, the smile on her face was as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum.
In no time, he freed the little guy from his back and held him in his arms, cherishing him for a while.
"I haven't seen Dabao for a long time. Do you miss grandma?"
The little guy is now more than three months old and can already smile.
Seeing the little guy smile, Li Daju was even happier.
"You're back. Come in and eat. Your mother mentioned this morning whether you would come back."
When Dad Zhao Dahai saw Zhao Yi and his family of three, a smile appeared on his face.
After saying that, he walked towards Li Daju and looked at the little guy in his arms. The more he looked, the more he liked him.
After lunch and chatting for a while, Zhao Yi was about to take the little one to Zhangjia Village.
"Take this money and buy some delicious food for my eldest grandson and make him a new set of clothes."
Zhao Dahai took out ten yuan and handed it to Zhao Yi and said.
"Dad, we have enough money to spend, and this little guy doesn't lack clothes to wear."
Zhao Yi waved his hands quickly.
"I'm not giving this to you. I'm giving it to my eldest grandson. He doesn't know how to spend it now, but he will in the future. You save it for him."
Zhao Dahai looked at the little guy on Zhao Yi's back and felt reluctant to let him go, but Zhao Yi was a worker in the area now, so he must go to see the little guy's grandparents when he came here.
Zhang Jing had no choice but to take the money and save it for the two old people. When the three of them graduated and started their own families, they would use the money when they needed expenses.
Li Daju and Zhao Dahai accompanied the three people all the way out of the village, and then waved goodbye reluctantly.
"From now on, I will go to the city every month to deliver things."
Zhao Dahai said.
"What are you going to do? There's no need to work in the coal mine. I can go there."
Li Daju rolled her eyes at her husband and said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"I want to fight for the opportunity to see my grandson."
Li Daju walked back home muttering to herself.
"Daju, I just saw Zhao Yi and the others come back. What good things did they bring back for you?"
Several middle-aged women at the entrance of the village laughed.
"I didn't send you anything good, just malted milk, brown sugar, and soybean powder. They said drinking it would be good for your health. You see, I go to work every day, and my family has enough food and drink. I can eat any eggs at home, so how can I be in poor health?
This kid is just worrying about nothing. ”
Li Daju's Versailles made several middle-aged women open their mouths but they didn't know how to respond.
"That's a good relationship, which shows that the child is filial."
at this time.
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing carried the little guy on their backs and walked to a place not far from the lacquer tree forest. Worried about the little guy's physical condition, Zhao Yi chose to take a longer route.
When I arrived at my father-in-law's house, the family was sitting at the door chatting.
I saw Zhang Jing and Zhao Yi walking towards me from afar.
Wang Kaihui and Zhang Fusheng immediately had bright smiles on their faces and quickly stepped forward to greet the little guy on their backs.
"Grandma's eldest grandson finally comes to see her."
Wang Kaihui couldn't stop smiling.
