The next morning
Father Song went to call his second brother Song early in the morning.
In the afternoon, Second Brother Song immediately returned to Songjia Village and went directly to the brigade headquarters to tell them everything.
The number of educated youth returning to the city did not stop until the end of August, and it increased instead of decreasing.
The Song Chucheng sisters, along with their father and mother, sat at the gate of the yard to bask in the sun.
Father Song sat by and poured tea for the three of them, while Moo Moo squatted beside him and played by himself.
Her sister-in-law took Dabao to school, and Dabao has to go back to school tomorrow.
Song Chucheng knitted a sweater for Moo Moo, and Song's mother knitted a sweater for Rourou. Her sister sat beside them reading a book and would ask her if she didn't understand something.
If the college entrance examination had really been resumed in 1977, Song Chucheng would have had no intention of taking the exam!
She had experienced it once in the later life, and she didn't want to go through it again. Her goal of living a miserable life in her old age would not change.
For college entrance exams and such, Rourou Moo and Moo’s two small accounts are here!
"Great grandfather! Uncle grandfather!"
Rourou and Tiantian were playing by the road, and they shouted when they saw someone coming towards them.
"Hey! What is Rourou doing?" Uncle Su asked as he walked over.
"Dig the bugs, Rourou dig." Rourou said, waving a small shovel.
"Xiao Song, you don't have to get up. I have to leave soon." Uncle Su said with a smile.
Song Chucheng also raised his head, "Uncle, why are you up so early today?"
"Chengzi, uncle has to pack two sets of clothes and go back to Beijing right away. When Xiaoshang comes back, tell him that I didn't go to the military area today." Uncle Su said as he picked up Rourou.
When Song's father and mother heard this, they stood up anxiously.
"Uncle, are we home?" Song Chucheng asked hurriedly.
"It's okay! It's not a family matter, don't worry. Uncle will go back with the old man from the Bai family." Uncle Su whispered.
She felt a little relieved: "Then I'll prepare some food for you, you can take it with you and eat it on the road."
Uncle Su was worried about his niece-in-law working hard, so he quickly stopped her and said, "Chengzi, don't bother. Uncle has food on the train."
"Of course I don't need it. I need cakes and pastries too. It'll take me several days to get them by train!"
Song's mother knows this best because she has taken a long-distance train herself.
Uncle Su didn't know what he was thinking about. He paused holding Rourou's hand and turned to look at Song's father: "Xiao Song, why don't you and your wife go back and pack some clothes and go back to Beijing with us?
We'll come back together in a while, and we'll invite Uncle Song and Aunt Song to come along."
He was worried that he wouldn't have an excuse to come back this time. If he took Xiao Song and his wife with him, he could just send them back when the time came, right? Uncle Su's calculations were clicking.
Recently, Father Song often dreamed about his childhood and remembered a lot of things from the past. If Uncle Su hadn't told him about it when he returned to Beijing, he wouldn't have felt much about it.
Once this is brought up to him, how can he not be anxious when he thinks of his parents?
Father Song looked at his wife, then at Song Chucheng. When he saw his eldest daughter nod, his eyes became a little warm.
"Okay! I'll go back with you." Father Song's voice was a little hoarse when he said this.
How could Song Chucheng not see her father's mood? With her uncle traveling with her, there was no need to worry. Besides, her grandparents would be there in Beijing, and there was also Grandpa Su and Grandma Su.
"Where is Miaomiao? Miaomiao, can you ask for leave from the supply and marketing cooperative? If possible, go and play with your parents for a few days." Song Chucheng said with a smile.
"Can I go with you?" Song Miaomiao said uncertainly.
"Why can't you go? Your grandparents will definitely be very happy to see you." Uncle Su said loudly. "Quick, go to the supply and marketing cooperative and ask for leave. Xiao Song, you two go back and pack your things."
Seeing that her parents and her sister all nodded, Song Miaomiao became happy and said, "Then I will ask for leave now."
Song Chucheng called out to his sister who was about to pack her things, "Go ahead! I'll pick up the things by the door later." Then he added, "Dad, Mom, you guys go back and pack a couple of sets of clothes too. I'll mail the rest to you later."
"Hey! Orange, your dad and mom will go back and pack the clothes first." Song's father said hurriedly.
"Well! Go! Go! Grandpa and grandma will definitely be happy when they know." Song Chucheng also said happily.
"Uncle, you and Uncle Liao should go and get busy too! I'll pack some cakes for you." She called Tiantian and walked in with Moo Moo.
"Aunt, I'm not going in. I want to play with Dabai." She had just picked some grass and had not helped Dabai dress up yet.
"Okay! Aunt will come out after she packs up her things." Song Chucheng bent down, picked up Moo Moo and walked inside.
"Go ahead! Don't bother with me!" Tiantian didn't even raise her head.
Song Chucheng prepared pastries and dried meat, but time was too tight to prepare instant noodles.
She took some extra, as there were five of them, including her parents and sister. If she took less, she was afraid that there would not be enough to eat. These could not be used as staple food, but they could be used to fill their stomachs when they were hungry.
Uncle Su and Liao Jun just packed two sets of clothes and came out, sitting in the living room playing with Rourou and Moo Moo. Not to mention Uncle Su, even Liao Jun couldn't bear to leave the two brothers. Every time he called them uncle grandpa, he felt warm in his heart.
"Rou Rou Moo, you have to listen to your parents at home, okay?" Liao Jun picked up Moo and placed him above his neck.
Moo Moo clapped his hands happily: "Moo Moo, be good. Moo Moo, be obedient and listen to mommy."
When Rourou saw that his younger brother was taller, he didn't make any request. He stood in front of Liao Jun and looked up at his tall younger brother, dancing with joy.
Liao Jun let Moo Moo sit for a while and then replaced Rou Rou.
"Uncle, Uncle Liao, this small package contains cakes and dried meat. You can fill your stomachs when you are hungry. This bottle is honey water, and this bottle is tea."
Song Chucheng put a bundle and two kettles aside.
"Oh! If it weren't for Orange, I would have forgotten about the kettle." Not only Uncle Su forgot about this, but Liao Jun himself also forgot about it.
"Sister, I've asked for leave." Miaomiao and Song's father and mother also walked in.
Song Chucheng turned around and saw that her parents were carrying a bag and a kettle, and her sister was also carrying a bag.
"Xiao Song, are you all packed?" Uncle Su stood up and asked.
"Well, everything is packed up." Song's father said with a smile.
"Okay! Then let's go to the dock! Orange, you don't have to go. The car won't have enough room. Once we get to the dock, we can have someone drive the car back to the military area."
After Uncle Su finished speaking, he patted Rouroumoo's head again and said, "I'll bring you roast duck when Grandpa comes back."
"Duck, hair, black." Rourou pointed outside and said, he was talking about the duck with hair that Xiaohei could catch.
"It's different. The one grandpa bought is delicious." Uncle Su walked out with Rourou in his arms, smiling.
(Clock, clock, happy New Year to my precious children!)
