Compared with people in the 21st century, people of this era still look a little pale and thin.
The surrounding buildings are mainly bungalows, with a few state-owned hotels, shopping malls and government buildings that are four or five stories high.
Amidst the vast crowds of people, Nanqiao returned to the street where his home was.
Nanqiao's home was a small Western-style building in Shanghai. During the revolution, the owner fled abroad. Later, the house was nationalized and was allocated to their family after Nan's father became a factory director.
Nanqiao took out the key from his pocket and opened the gate.
There are two magnolia trees planted in the yard and two Phoenix brand bicycles parked there.
Obviously the family is good
Nanqiao pushed the door open and said, "Mom, I'm back."
"Hey, Qiaoqiao baby, play by yourself for a while, mom and dad will prepare the meal soon."
Tomorrow is the day when Nanqiao will leave for the countryside, so Nan's parents are not at work today. They bought a lot of Nanqiao's favorite dishes early in the morning and prepared to cook them for Nanqiao at noon.
Nanqiao walked to the kitchen, looked at the busy figures of his parents, happily went forward to hug them, and said in a friendly tone, "It's been a long time since I saw mom and dad cooking together."
One thing Nanqiao didn't say was that the Nan father and Nan mother of this era were exactly the same as the parents who died in the 21st century. It seemed that this time travel was destined by fate.
"Go back to your room quickly. The new clothes will get dirty because of the fumes. Your second brother will be back soon." Nan's father was a traditional father. Seeing his soft and delicate daughter hugging him, he felt a little embarrassed. So he uncomfortably chased his daughter back to her room.
However, the curve of Nan's father's mouth still revealed his happy mood.
"That's right, go back to your room and see if you like the cotton-padded clothes that mom prepared for you." Nan's mother's mood, which was originally happy to play with her daughter, became a little depressed when she said this.
Nanqiao looked at her mother who was obviously feeling a little disappointed, and comforted her, "Don't worry, mom, Qiaoqiao will take good care of herself, and Qiaoqiao will not interrupt her studies. Maybe she will resume the college entrance examination in a while."
"Silly girl, don't talk nonsense," Nan's father warned. In this era, there are too many things that cannot be said and cannot be done.
"Mom doesn't ask you to study hard, I just hope you can take good care of yourself. If you need money or things, just write to your family and call them, and Mom and Dad will send them to you right away. But don't rush into marrying someone just because farming is hard. You must promise Mom this, okay?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you must listen to your mother on this point. Even if...even if you meet someone you like, you must bring her back to us first. You must not cross the line before marriage."
Nan's father was a little worried and gnashed his teeth and said that his daughter was only 19 years old and might not be taken advantage of by a pig so early...
"Mom and Dad, I swear that I will never get married secretly. Even if I find someone I like, I will bring her to you first." Nanqiao raised three fingers to his ears and said as if swearing.
"Okay, okay, go back to your room and take a look at the new clothes your mother prepared for you. Also, see if you need anything else. We'll go buy them this afternoon."
"Okay, then mom and dad, I'm going back to my room first."
"Go ahead"
Nan's father and mother saw Nan Qiao return to the room, and then they continued their actions.
Nanqiao returned to his room and looked at the large bags of things on his bed, his face full of black lines.
Can I really carry it with my small body?
I unpacked one of the smaller packages and found all of them were clothes, white shirts, floral shirts, cashmere sweaters, woolen coats, Dacron jackets, braided skirts, and even the women's military uniforms sent by my eldest brother.
Each one is carefully prepared by the mother, and also contains the deep love of the father and mother.
Just as Nanqiao was about to put the things back into the package, there was a knock on the door of Nanqiao's room.
Nanqiao put down the package and opened the door. The second brother came in and closed the door.
After searching his pocket for a long time, he finally pulled out a dozen bills and stuffed them all into Nanqiao's pocket.
"This is the money I've saved over the past few years. I was planning to give it to you as a dowry when you get married, but you have a lot of money to spend now, so take it first and I'll save it for you later."
"Brother, no need. I have pocket money. My parents also gave me some. Take it." Nanqiao pretended to stuff the money back.
"Take it, be obedient," the second brother said firmly, but it was not difficult to hear that he was reluctant and distressed for his sister.
"Qiaoqiao, if you have any problems when you get there, you must tell your brother. You know his office phone number. If it's inconvenient to tell your parents, you can talk to your brother first and he will make the decision for you."
"Don't worry, brother. I'm very capable. You and big brother have been taking care of me since I was a child. I have learned a lot of martial arts." Nanqiao raised his little arms proudly.
Nanbo looked at his sister and felt very sad. When he first learned that his sister signed up to go to the countryside because of a man, he was so angry that he almost rushed out to beat that man up. In the end, it was his sister who pulled him away and he didn't go.
Thinking of this, Nanbo tried to ask, "Qiao, that Sumu..."
"Brother, don't worry, I don't have any interest in him anymore." Nanqiao knew what Nanbo wanted to say, so he interrupted at the right time and said to Nanbo as if to assure him.
"Then why do you go to the countryside?"
"Oh, brother, I was just being stupid. It's a done deal, there's nothing I can do about it."
"Ah," Nanbo sighed.
"Baby, come eat," Nanqiao's mother called downstairs
"Hey, Mom, I'll be right there."
"Brother, hurry up and stop talking about this. Dinner is about to start."
"Go, go, go"
During the meal, the whole family tacitly did not mention the Nanqiao Rural Area Movement.
After finishing the meal and clearing the table, Nanqiao's mother came to Nanqiao's room and settled him down. "Qiaoqiao, is there anything else you need?"
