Chapter 476 Back
Lu Miao snorted lightly and ignored him, but thought in his heart:
They are still young and only care about the whole thing.
If the elderly couple were like Tang Mei and her family, and were around, they could still be filial and take care of their children.
We are far away from each other, and even though we are two grown people, once we get busy with our daily lives, we can easily forget each other.
"Didn't the ice factory say we'd have a two-week holiday? I'd better stay a few days longer this time to keep my uncle and aunt company. It's the busy farming season, so I'd see if I can help out... The next time I come back will be during the Spring Festival."
That being said, if I come back to deal with the trouble, I’m not sure whether I will be able to come back during the Spring Festival.
"good."
Fu Jingyou would definitely like to stay longer in the place where he was born and raised, but he is worried that his wife would not be willing.
Another thing is that the two children are spoiled and I am afraid they can’t stay home.
Now that his wife has spoken, Fu Jingyou feels more at ease.
I’ll talk about it after I get back. How long I’ll stay there depends on the specific situation.
"Are you thirsty? I'll get some hot water."
Lu Miao nodded, "Let's prepare it and let it dry for the kids to drink later."
"Um."
…
Times are progressing. This time, Beijing North Railway Station not only has more trains heading south, but the speed of trains has also been significantly improved.
In the past, a trip took twenty-six to twenty-eight hours, but this time it only took twenty-two hours to reach the county.
I got on the bus the afternoon before and arrived at noon the next day.
But in H Province, it’s not like in Beijing, where someone will deliver the car.
There is no one to pick up the car here. It is really not easy to carry two children and two boxes of luggage.
Fu Jingyou was carrying two boxes in one hand and holding a big treasure in his arms.
Erbao was held by Lu Miao and followed closely beside him.
The two people took turns carrying the suitcase, resting as they walked, and it took them a while before they finally got out of the station.
This can't go on.
There is no bus from the county back to the village. If I keep taking this long, when will I get home?
After finding a shady place and temporarily settling his wife and children down, Fu Jingyou thought about going to the county to seek external assistance.
I had just taken a few steps when, by chance, I met a tractor from the county machinery team, and there were familiar faces on the tractor.
Fu Jingyou waved to stop, exchanged a few lively greetings, and then ran back to the shade under the eaves of the station to pick up the suitcase and hold the child.
"On the way."
Lu Miao understood and followed him with Erbao in his arms.
…
"Mama Birdie."
"Um."
"Mom, there are so many green ones."
“That’s rice.”
"What is rice?"
"The rice we usually eat is husked rice."
"Rice is the husked rice."
"right."
Lu Miao was sitting in the open-top old tractor, holding his two children.
Fu Jingyou was in front, chatting and chatting with his former colleagues while leaning sideways to grab Dabao's clothes.
Afraid that Lu Miao couldn't look after the two children alone, he kept looking back.
"Brother Xiao Fu, big cities are good. I see you've become a lot fairer."
"I have classes either in the classroom or in the factory, and I'm always covered up and can't see the sun. How can I not get bleached?"
"Haha, that's right! What are the schools in the capital like? Are they the same as the ones we used to go to in Tianjin?"
"almost."
It was just a casual chat, Fu Jingyou didn't go into details.
Some things are not good if you talk too much about them.
The distance between us has widened, and we feel uncomfortable getting along with each other.
Fu Jingyou smiled, patted the tractor under him, and easily opened the topic:
"Why are they using these old things now? Where are those big iron bulls from before?"
"Don't mention it! The county said those big iron oxen with farming parts are no longer useful here, so they've all been taken north."
"These are what we're using now. They were leftovers from military reclamation in the frontier areas a few years ago. They thought they could still be used, so they brought them here. It took quite a bit of effort."
Fu Jingyou nodded and asked again:
"Is the county's equipment group still running? Are they still the same people?"
"It's open, but it's just me and Team Leader Wang. Everyone else has been assigned to learn electrician skills. They're planning to dig trenches and bury cables by the end of the year."
Several modernization policies are being planned and promoted, and changes are happening not only in cities but also in county towns.
However, the power supply is definitely local.
Electricity is not yet fully popularized in the capital, and small rural areas do not have enough resources to popularize it.
After Fu Jingyou had a general understanding of the changes in the village over the past six months, he chatted about something else.
The tractor turned at a fork in the road, and Fu Jingyou stood up and politely thanked him.
He invited them to sit down and have a meal together when they had more time, and then he got out of the car with his wife and children.
Walk a little further and you will reach the fork in the road where you can turn into the mountain trail. You will be not far from home.
Fu Jingyou was still the same as before, holding two boxes in one hand and a baby in the other.
But this time the eldest child was replaced by the second child.
The weather was too hot and Lu Miao felt dizzy and couldn't hold the child, so he just walked slowly holding Dabao's hand.
Fu Jingyou followed behind, careful to prevent the mother and daughter from falling behind.
Normally it would take me half an hour to get home, but this time I only got halfway there.
Fortunately, there was a gentle breeze on the tree-lined path behind, so both adults and children suffered less.
"Let's take a break."
Lu Miao couldn't walk anymore, so he squatted down and scratched his neck.
Fu Jingyou saw the child and immediately put down his luggage and grabbed her scratching hand.
"Don't catch!"
"What's wrong?"
Lu Miao touched his face. "Is it red? Or is it peeling?"
I had a sunburn experience in the south before, and now my face and neck are not only itchy, but also a bit stinging and painful.
Lu Miao basically guessed what was going on.
Fu Jingyou grabbed her hand back and said, "It's a little peeling. I'll get you some water to apply on it when we get back. You just need to rest and it will be fine."
"I didn't bring any vanishing cream this time. When we get home, ride your bike and buy me a box."
Lu Miao loves beauty and used to cry when she got sunburned.
After all, she is a mother now, so she doesn’t make as big a fuss as before, but she is still delicate and loves beauty at heart.
Sunburn is not a big deal, but if you don’t take good care of it, it’s easy to get sun spots later.
She was only twenty-two or twenty-three years old, and she didn't want to have those things on her face now.
Fu Jingyou smiled tenderly and responded to her every request:
"Okay, I'll buy it for you when I get back."
Lu Miao nodded.
After resting, he stood up again, shared a box with Fu Jingyou, and called the two children to run after him.
The family of four walked for a while and gradually came into view the eaves of the production team's village.
Lu Miao felt that victory was in sight, and after he recovered his strength, he was just about to walk faster with the child in his arms.
Suddenly, a surprised voice was heard from the farmland on the side of the slope:
"Xiao Liu? Is it Xiao Liu?"
Fu Jingyou was stunned for a moment.
No one had called the name Fu Xiaoliu for a long time, and for a moment, Fu Jingyou was a little unable to react.
He didn't respond, and the voice of another uncle rang out from the hillside:
"What's the point of Xiaoliu? He's studying in the capital!"
"If that's not Xiaoliu, then who is it? Isn't that Xiaoliu's wife next to her? Look, she even brought the baby back!"
"What? Where?"
The uncle who had spoken earlier did not answer, but howled at the top of his lungs:
"Captain! Captain, you're here, right? Xiaoliu and his wife are back!"
