On the morning of the third day, the train slowly stopped in Qi City.
They got off the train, and a few young men carried their luggage.
Grandpa Wang, Grandma Wang, and Grandpa Qi brought Niupitang and the group found a restaurant, had a quick bite, and then took a bus back to Chengnan County.
Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang did not follow us back to Yushu Village, but lived in their small courtyard in the county town.
There are only two houses in the countryside, and there is not enough space for so many people.
It’s not far anyway, and it only takes twenty minutes at most to get there by bike.
From then on, they would ride their bikes there every morning and come back in the afternoon when it was cooler. It was very convenient.
Several young people helped to clean the yard and fill the water tank.
Versace and Dalin went out and bought some daily necessities.
Tangtang held their hands and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, please go over early tomorrow. I will miss you."
Grandma Wang said with a smile, "Okay, your great grandfather and I will go there tomorrow morning as soon as we get up."
Then he said to Xiao Mo, "Xiao Mo, don't make breakfast tomorrow. We will buy it and bring it over."
"Okay, Grandma Wang, let's go back. You and Grandpa Wang can cook breakfast this afternoon.
I didn’t get enough rest on the train these days, so I’ll go to bed early tonight. ”
"We know, please go back."
The two elders sent them out the door and returned to the house only after they could no longer see anyone.
Grandma Wang walked into the house, touched here and looked there, and sighed with red eyes:
"Xiuqi has been in the army for thirty-one years. If he were still alive, he would be forty-nine this year."
Grandpa Wang helped his wife sit on the chair and sighed.
Over the years, Xiaotang has been inquiring about Xiuqi's whereabouts.
All I heard was that he participated in the war with the United States in 1950, and that he survived the battlefield.
When he was assigned a job later, he chose to go home, but over the years, the old couple never waited for anyone.
Xiaotang said that he must have disappeared on the way back, and asked them not to worry as he would continue looking for him.
It's been so many years, if he's still alive, how could he not be able to find his home?
The old couple sat there in silence until it was completely dark, and then Grandma Wang wiped away her tears.
Qiang smiled and said, "Are you hungry, old man? I'll go cook for you."
Grandpa Wang also stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll go light the fire for you. If Xiao Mo and Niupi Tang knew that we didn't have dinner, they would complain again."
When talking about the children, both of them smiled.
Niupipitang sat on Old Chen's ox cart, looking around and chattering questions here and there.
There was only one ox cart, on which sat Grandpa Qi and Niupitang, as well as the luggage of several people, and the cart was almost full.
The few young people had no choice but to walk.
Pippi excitedly asked her uncle who was walking beside her:
"Uncle, this place is so fun. There are so many trees! There is also a river. I wonder if there are any fish in it?"
Xiao Mo was already annoyed by the three people's questions along the way, so he turned his head to the side and pretended not to hear.
I asked the old man driving the bus, "Grandpa Chen, don't we have buses here yet?"
Old Chen said with a smile: "No, the roads here are not good, and it's so remote, there is no bus for us."
Xiao Mo said proudly: "It's okay, Grandpa Chen, when the canning factory makes money, I will build roads for everyone."
When Old Chen heard Xiao Mo say that he would build roads for the village when he earned money, he was so happy that his teeth were not visible.
He said excitedly: "Okay, okay, Xiao Mo is a kind and good child. The canning factory you opened will definitely make a lot of money in the future."
The ox cart was moving slowly on the road. When it was almost at the entrance of the village, people could be seen working in the fields on both sides of the road.
The land in Yushu Village was distributed to each household last year.
The villagers are now working on their own and are more enthusiastic than before when they were paid work points.
It's hot now and there are not many people on the road, so Old Man Chen drove the ox cart directly to their doorstep.
When Dalin and the young men who went to the cannery to study returned home, the villagers knew that Xiaomo and Grandpa Qi had returned with the toffee.
Several families who were on good terms with Xu Ning and Xiao Mo brought over geese, chickens, eggs, and vegetables.
Even if they had an average relationship with me before, they would still bring over food that their family would not want to eat.
Xiao Mo's brothers also came carrying food and various foods.
Since entering the yard, Niupitang has been running around excitedly in the fields. Niu Niu and Pippi are holding cucumbers in one hand and tomatoes in the other.
Tangtang held a tomato in her arms and ate it while running to the north corner of the wall to look at the big watermelons planted there.
The vegetables, melons and fruits in the yard were all grown by the village head's wife and fourth aunt.
Knowing that they would be back for summer vacation, I planted more cucumbers and tomatoes.
The watermelon in the corner was brought by Aunt Xiangyun. She knew that the brothers and sisters all liked to eat watermelon.
I specially brought the best watermelon seedlings and planted them.
"Brother, these tomatoes are sour and sweet, so delicious, let's take some back when we leave.
Let mom and dad, as well as grandma, grandpa, grandma, great-grandma and great-grandma to try it. ”
Niu Niu and Pi Pi nodded, "Cucumbers are delicious too, let's take a few back when the time comes. And take two of these big watermelons too."
Xiao Mo heard these three shameless bandits who wanted everything, and snorted, "You three have arranged it well, but are these things yours?
You are giving it to this person and that person. Have you obtained the owner’s consent? ”
The three looked at him in confusion, and Pipi asked, "Uncle, didn't you say this is our home?
The things that grow in our yard, aren’t they ours? Who should I ask when I pick things from my own home? ”
Xiao Mo: “…” He was speechless. Why did he feel that what this kid said made sense?
