But I think their vacation time may not be that long. The less time they spend on the road, the more time they will spend at home. So I think Shaanxi is the most suitable place to go to the countryside."
After everyone thought about it, they felt that this made sense, so they all expressed their agreement.
Since no one knew anything about Shaanxi, and there were not many places to choose from, they just closed their eyes and chose a county with a more pleasing name - Zichang.
As for why they are so pleasing to the eye, we should ask Zhao Yun and Guan Yu from the Three Kingdoms...
After the matter was discussed, everyone chatted for a while before leaving.
After they left, Sun Xiu asked hesitantly, "Do we need to make thick cotton-padded clothes and quilts for the third child when we go to this place?"
Li Xu thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, using one-third more cotton than at home should be enough."
Then he looked at Li Chen and said, "Third brother, if you have nothing to do these few days, take the gun at home and go outside the city to practice. Then I will get you a gun for self-defense."
Li Chen nodded in agreement, and Sun Xiu was even more straightforward, directly asking her eldest daughter and three daughters-in-law to help make clothes and bedding.
the next day.
Li Xu, who had just started work, heard Master Wang telling several people that the matter had been settled and he had successfully kept his daughter.
Xiao Jianping asked curiously, "Didn't he say he disagreed?"
"No, my second son agreed very happily." Master Wang replied with a smile on his face, "You don't know, I didn't react at the time, I thought I heard it wrong."
Li Xu picked up the conversation and jokingly said, "That's not right. Just now I saw your second son covering his face while walking. Isn't it because he has a facial injury and can't face people?"
Upon hearing this, several people burst into laughter.
Master Wang defended himself vehemently, "I really didn't hit him. He was covering his face because he had a toothache."
It would have been fine if he hadn't explained, because once he did, everyone laughed even louder.
Seeing this, Master Wang had to change the subject, "Xiao Li, did you decide where to go to the countryside last night?"
"It's decided, Zichang, Shaanxi." Li Xu said as he took out a small piece of paper with the place name written on it and handed it over.
Master Wang took the note and looked at it. "Okay, I'll go find my second son and ask him to take the note to his mother."
After saying this, he walked quickly away.
Not only him, but everyone in the motorcade whose children were going to the countryside chose to let their children go to the same place as Li Xu and Liu Gang's families.
Because they trust the judgment of these two people.
That's why they didn't go to Li's house to participate in the discussion last night.
...
More than ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
Tang County is extremely bustling these days.
Whenever a family has children going to the countryside and the family conditions are reasonable, they will hold a banquet to invite relatives to reunite.
The same thing happened to the Li family, and even Mrs. Li burst into tears on the spot.
The reason for this is that she felt that if she were to pass away one day, her children and grandchildren would not be able to see everything they had.
There was another thing, and that was that there were some twists and turns in the choice of where to go to the countryside.
The county reported the number of people going to various places, but received a notice the next day saying that the number of people going to some places was too large and had to be reduced. Those who were reduced would be arranged to border areas.
There was no other choice, so the street office had to re-screen the people selected in the middle area.
For example, in Zichang, there were originally more than 70 people who chose it. In the end, except for more than ten people with connections like Li Chen, all the others were kicked out.
It took such a fuss to get the new arrangement passed.
That night, everyone in the Li family was sitting in the main room.
In the middle of the main room stood a large sack filled with stuff, the mouth of which was tied with a hemp rope. Sun Xiu called out, "Third brother, try to see if you can carry it."
Li Chen walked forward, grabbed the bag's opening with his right hand, supported the bag with his left hand, then suddenly exerted force and threw the sack onto his left shoulder.
He took a few tentative steps before putting the bag down and nodded, saying, "I can carry it."
Sun Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's all right. Two sets of cotton clothes, a cotton quilt, a thin quilt, two sets of sheets and pillowcases, two pairs of shoes, summer clothes, twenty feet of cloth, a gun, bullets, money, food coupons, tea, and sugar are all in there. Everything we need is ready. You can go buy new ones over there for the rest."
"I know." After answering, Li Chen turned his head to look at Zhou Miao, who was hugging the child. His eyes instantly reddened. Then he turned back to everyone and said, "I'll leave Xiao Miao and Yu Xiang to you. When I determine their specific location, I'll write to you."
Hearing this, everyone felt a pang of sadness and agreed.
Next, everyone took turns to give Li Chen instructions.
Although he had heard these words many times, Li Chen still acted very seriously.
This scene not only occurs in the Li family, but is also the case in almost all families with people who move to the countryside.
Because tomorrow is the day these people set off.
We chatted for a long time that evening before leaving.
After breakfast the next day.
Sun Xiu took out the cloth bag that she had prepared in advance, put fifty white flour buns and twenty salted eggs into it, then tied the cloth bag with a rope and hung it on Li Chen along with the kettle filled with water.
Finally, with red eyes, she patted his shoulder and said, "Be careful on the road."
Li Chen nodded, picked up the big sack and walked out.
At the same time, many people dressed similarly to him walked out of their homes.
They walked to the intersection they had arranged in advance, stopped, put down their things, and chatted while waiting.
