They couldn't go back at noon, so Chen Baoguo slumped on a rock, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky. It was as if he saw his own body, just like these snowflakes, floating in the wind and melting as soon as they hit the ground, without any direction.
Chen Dazhuang probably guessed why he was silent.
Chen Dazhuang said: "Brother, don't overthink it. This person's fate is determined by heaven."
Chen Baoguo picked up a stone and threw it out hard.
"Da Zhuang, do you believe in fate?
I don’t believe it.
I don’t believe that God is so blind.
If I can’t take the college entrance examination, it means I can’t get out of this mountain.
I am unwilling to give up. I, Chen Baoguo, swear that if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely make a name for myself. "
"Okay, brother, I believe you. From now on, brother, I will follow you to eat delicious food and drink spicy food."
The two smiled at each other, and Chen Baoguo said, "Do you have a cigarette? Give me one."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The two men squatted on a big rock to smoke, and then continued to work.
After the news of taking the college entrance examination came out, all the educated youth in Chenjia Village returned to the city to sign up, and Wen Qing, Jiang Chu and others also left.
Before leaving, Jiang Chu thought about what happened to Chen Baoguo, and was glad that he was not entangled by Tian Xiaoyun, otherwise his life would be ruined.
Unfortunately, Chen Baoguo, who was such a hard-working man, will be criticized for his whole life because of this woman.
…
Jiang Wan and Zhang Qingdong finally arrived in South City after taking several trains.
Liu Shan and Jiang Chang's car was parked next to the train station. The couple sat in the car, and Liu Shan stared closely at the people passing by, for fear of missing the two children.
He Yun and Zhang Yian were standing on the platform waiting for them.
Liu Shan looked at the couple's backs and said, "Now that the two children are back, let's arrange their marriage. When Xiaowan comes back during the summer vacation, let the two children get married.
Our Xiaowan grew up being spoiled and has a simple mind.
Qingdong was also raised by us, so I feel relieved to leave Xiaowan to him."
Jiang Chang said: "I don't know what Qingdong is thinking. I also want them to get together quickly, but this kid is like a piece of wood."
They are not the only ones who are worried about this.
After the train arrived at the station, the people on the train took their luggage and squeezed out. Zhang Qingdong was not in a hurry, for fear of squeezing Jiang Wan, so he sat next to her and protected her. After everyone on the train got off, he carried the luggage for both of them, and Jiang Wan got off behind him.
Both Liu Shan and He Yun were getting impatient waiting.
Liu Shan said: "Xiao Wan called before she left and said they would arrive the next day. Could they have missed the train?
Everyone is almost gone, why aren't these two kids coming down yet?"
He Yun said: "Wait a little longer."
After that, the two men got off the train.
Liu Shan saw Jiang Wan and waved happily.
"Girl, mommy is here."
Jiang Wan saw her mother, who was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, running towards Liu Shan.
Liu Shan couldn't stop smiling.
"This kid, this personality is not like me at all, he's so flustered."
Jiang Wan rushed into Liu Shan's arms and hugged her tightly.
"Mom, I miss you so much, please let me hug you."
Liu Shan laughed so hard that tears came out.
"Let mom see if you've gained weight. It seems Qingdong has taken good care of you."
Jiang Wan came out of Liu Shan's arms and hugged He Yun again.
He Yun smiled and said, "Our Xiao Wan is so nice. I haven't seen you for half a year. I feel like you've grown taller."
He Yun said this and touched Jiang Wan's head.
Zhang Qingdong standing aside felt as if he was dispensable.
Zhang Qingdong said, "Mom, I'm here."
He Yun smiled and patted Zhang Qingdong's clothes, saying, "I saw it, I saw it.
What? You want me to hug you too?"
Having not seen each other for several years, He Yun had a lot to say to his son, but this was not the right place to talk.
Zhang An said, "It's good that you're back safely. Let's get the kids in the car quickly. It's too cold today, so cold and wet."
Zhang Qingdong put the two suitcases in the trunk and walked to Zhang Yian's 28-bar bicycle.
"Dad, let me push it."
Jiang Chang said, "Qingdong, your aunt Liu and I have discussed with your parents. You just arrived today, so come to my house for dinner first. Everything is ready at home."
Zhang Qingdong said, "Thank you, Uncle Jiang. Let my mom ride in your car while my dad and I ride."
Jiang Chang smiled and said, "You are a sensible child. Unlike some people, they don't say a word when they see their father."
Jiang Wan smiled ingratiatingly and called "Dad" softly. She touched her ears guiltily.
"I'm just afraid you'll criticize me."
As soon as she got off the car, she was almost kidnapped by human traffickers, and later her leg was broken. When she thought about it, she felt that she was useless.
The chief's daughter doesn't have any heroic spirit at all, she is simply like a waste.
Until now, the couple still didn't know that she had broken her leg.
Jiang Chang said: "How dare you bring that up?
I'll deal with you tomorrow."
Jiang Wan: “Hehehe…”
Jiang Chang sat in the passenger seat, the three women sat in the back seat, and Jiang Wan was sandwiched in the middle. The two women each held one of her hands. Jiang Wan felt like they still treated her like a child.
The two women asked her about her journey north.
Zhang Qingdong was riding a bicycle, and Zhang An was sitting behind him.
Zhang An said: "You finally decided to come back."
"Dad, isn't this what you taught me? You told me to do my job well in the local area and not bring shame to the People's Liberation Army."
Zhang Yian laughed in the back seat. He was happy that his sensible son came back.
The two of them arrived at Jiang's house ten minutes later than the car.
When we entered the gate of the compound, there were two men in military uniforms guarding the gate. When they saw Zhang An, they stood up and saluted, and Zhang An saluted lightly in return.
This community is composed of two-story Western-style buildings with a yard in front of them where flowers, trees and vegetables are planted.
The only thing grown in Zhang Qingdong's family's yard is vegetables.
The car that picked up Jiang Chang had already left. Zhang Qingdong pushed open the gate and pushed his bicycle into the yard. Jiang Wan, who lived opposite, stuck half of his head out of the second-floor window and shouted with a smile, "Brother Qingdong, my mom asked me to call you and Uncle Zhang for dinner."
A passerby downstairs, carrying a basket of vegetables, said with a smile: "Hey, Xiaowan is back."
"Aunt Su, I just came in."
"Take a break and come play with our girl."
"Hello, Aunt Su."
The person who spoke was Su Mei. She had a gentle attitude and was polite and decent to others.
The people living in this compound are all people of status who have been to the battlefield, and they all have good qualities.
Su Mei looked back and saw that Zhang Qingdong had also returned.
Su Mei smiled and said, "Oh, Qingdong is back too. You haven't been home for several years. Your mother misses you so much that she is looking forward to your return.
You don't know that your mother is looking forward to your return. She is worried that your and your sister's quilts will get moldy, so as soon as the sun comes out, she will let your quilts dry in the sun. "
Zhang Qingdong smiled, not knowing what to say for a moment, feeling very guilty.
Su Mei was anxious to go home and cook, and then said, "Come and play with my girl later with Xiao Wan. I'm going back to cook first."
"Hello, Auntie."
