1979
Xu Ning received the letter from Jianhua after the New Year. She was a little surprised. Judging from the time of the letter, Jianhua should have written the letter just after Jianmin and the others returned home. Could something have happened?
She opened the letter and saw that Jianhua and Dawa were asking if they could come to Jingshi to sell clothes.
She immediately sent a telegram back with just two words on it: "Welcome"
Jianhua was overjoyed when he received the telegram. He immediately went to the factory with Dawa to find the workshop director and prepare to ask a relative to come and take over the shift.
The elders in the family have already prepared things for Jianmin and Dalin to take back to school, including pine nuts, hazelnuts, mushrooms, fungus and various dried vegetables, soybean paste made by Aunt Dashuan, and shoes made for Niupitang.
The village chief's wife was even more exaggerated. She brought out a jar of homemade chili sauce, a large bag of flour, at least seventy or eighty kilograms, and various dried goods.
The villagers also knew that they were going back to Beijing, and they all brought various local specialties with them.
Da Wang, Sandan, and the others each carried a large bag filled with pine nuts, hazelnuts, and mushrooms they picked in the mountains.
These are what their brother Mo likes to eat, and the adults at home asked them to carry them all over.
Third Grandma, Cauliflower Grandma, as well as the aunts and sisters in the village, and a few old friends of Seventh Grandpa.
They all brought food that they were reluctant to eat at home, and asked Jianmin and Dalin to help bring it to Beijing to Xiaomo and the others.
Dalin and Jianmin looked at the pile of things and didn't know what to say. These things added up to at least seven or eight hundred kilograms, right? This does not include their luggage.
The village chief looked at their unhappy expressions, glared at them, and said angrily: "You five grown men, can't you even take this little thing?
After one year of study, I don’t know what I did before? When you were at home, you could carry a big bag of food and run away. Now, you can’t even carry such a small thing? ”
Several elderly people from the village who came to get things looked at them disapprovingly. These two kids were so well-behaved when they were at home, how could they forget their roots after just one year away from home?
Xiaowang and Erdan asked worriedly, "Brother Dalin, Brother Jianmin, do you think we have too much stuff?
But we have reduced these things again and again. Do you think this will work?
If you help us carry our things now, we will also help you carry your things when we are admitted to a university in Beijing. ”
Dalin and Jianmin looked at each other and said helplessly, "Bring it, bring it, bring it all for you. Bring whatever else you have."
Five people came down from the train carrying a dozen bags, each carrying one on their backs and two in their hands.
No one here knew they were arriving today, so no one came to pick them up. There were too many things with them, and it was not convenient to take the bus.
A few people found two people who were pulling carts at the train station and asked them to help pull it back.
They went directly to Xu's house because school had not started yet and Xu Ning and Niupitang were still living in Lu's house.
When Grandpa Wang opened the door, he was stunned to see Jianmin and the other five and the pile of things.
"How did you guys carry so many things?"
Jianmin and Dalin asked the two drivers to push the cart in, saying, "Grandpa Wang, don't mention it. We are almost dying of exhaustion."
Grandpa Qi heard the noise and came out of the house. When he saw them, he asked in surprise, "Jianhua, Da Wa, why are you here too?"
The two saw that Grandpa Qi was also very close, so they hurried over to greet him, "Grandpa Qi, we are here to sell clothes to Xu Zhiqing."
Grandpa Qi was very happy when he heard his words. "Great, that's great. We can make money by selling clothes.
Jianmin, Dalin and Xiaofan, who followed Xiaoning in selling clothes, have all bought houses.
You two should never go back. When you earn money, buy a yard and bring your parents and wife over. ”
After listening to Grandpa Qi’s words, Jianhua and Dawa also felt their blood boiling and full of energy.
When Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu and Grandma Wang heard the voices in the front yard, they all came over from the back yard. When they saw the two large carts of things, they were also very surprised.
Jianhua and Dawa saw them and called out, "Uncle Xu, Aunt Xu, Grandma Wang."
Several people hurriedly greeted them to come in, "Why do you bring so many things? Come in and rest, you must be exhausted, right?"
Both Mr. and Mrs. Xu knew Jianhua and Dawa. They knew when they were in the village that the two young men were capable people.
When they went to the compound two days ago, Xiao Ning told them that the two might come over. Because they were not sure yet, they did not tell Grandpa Qi for fear that he would be too happy for nothing.
When Grandma Wang heard them speaking in their hometown accent, she was very happy. She greeted them and went to the kitchen to cook for them.
