As the Spring Festival draws closer, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger and stronger.
Liang Xueying made brown sugar steamed cakes, thinking of using them to entertain relatives during the Chinese New Year. She steamed more at a time, as they wouldn't go bad in the cold weather anyway.
This morning, several people were eating sweet brown sugar steamed cakes with hot corn soup, which made them feel warm all over.
"I don't know what's going on with Jianping. He said he would go home on the 25th, but he hasn't come back yet." Liang Xueying said.
The last time Guo Jianping wrote in his letter he said he would go home on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, but today is the 27th and he still hasn't come back.
"It's been two days. He might be back today. If he hasn't come back today, I'll go to the county town to look for him." Deng Qingling was also a little worried.
Although the feelings are not very deep, they do exist. There is still a vague affection between us.
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, Guo Jianping has not returned home. He only sends letters and money back. Every time he does so, he would say a few words to Deng Qingling, telling her how hard she has worked at home to take care of the children and be filial to her parents. He will work hard to earn money and will not go home on weekends for the next few months.
After a few interactions, I developed a bit of a good impression of him.
"If he doesn't come back, I'll go! You stay at home and take care of the kids," Guo Youxing said to Deng Qingling.
"Let me go! I'm familiar with the county town." Deng Qingling said.
This guy is really unbearable. Speak of the devil and he will appear.
Before I finished my breakfast, I heard a noise coming from outside the yard.
"Dad, Mom, open the door, I'm back."
"Jianping is back? I'll go see him." Liang Xueying said as she ran out of the yard to open the gate.
When he opened the door, he saw Guo Jianping, who was exhausted and his face was red from the cold.
Liang Xueying said: "You are finally back, come in quickly, it is freezing cold."
"Mom, I'll come back as soon as I'm done with my work." Guo Jianping said as he followed her into the house, carrying a sack on his back.
"Brother, you're back!" Guo Jianjun and Guo Yu said in unison.
"Well, Dad, wife, where is Haohao?" Guo Jianping saw that everyone was having breakfast and his son was not there.
Guo Youxing nodded and said, "I'm glad you're back."
"Haohao is still sleeping in the room. Have a bowl of corn soup to warm yourself up first." Deng Qingling picked up the thermos and bowl and poured him a bowl of corn soup.
Liang Xueying went to the kitchen and brought out the brazier. It was still burning brightly with the charcoal left over from cooking breakfast and a few pieces of firewood.
"Come and warm yourself by the fire to cool off the cold."
Guo Jianping sat in front of the brazier with a bowl in one hand and a brown sugar steamed cake in the other and started eating.
After walking back from the town, Guo Jianping was really hungry after all the consumption. He didn't care whether his hands were clean or not, and just wanted to eat first.
After eating two or three bowls of corn soup and two pieces of brown sugar steamed cake, I felt full and warm all over.
"Are you full? If not, there's more." Deng Qingling asked.
"That's enough. I'm full." After saying that, Guo Jianping stood up, opened the sack, and took out a Shanghai brand radio.
"Jianping, why did you buy a radio? How much does it cost?" Liang Xueying felt so distressed. Why did both of them spend money lavishly?
"This is the radio I bought at the recycling station and repaired myself. It didn't cost me much," said Guo Jianping.
It really didn't cost much money. Guo Jianping and someone else were in business together. Guo Jianping was responsible for repairing the radios and televisions that were collected, and the other person was responsible for sales.
The items were almost as good as new ones, and the price was one-third cheaper. Guo Jianping and his team made a lot of money during this period.
"Really?" Liang Xueying was skeptical.
This radio looks to be about 80% new. It's nice to have a radio for a small amount of money.
At least we have a radio at home! It will be something to show off to our youngest son when he gets married.
"Yes, we have a radio at home, and during the slack season I can listen to books and sing revolutionary songs to pass the time.
"Dad, you can also listen to national affairs from time to time. This is a win-win situation, how great!" Guo Jianping turned to Guo Youxing and said.
"Okay! Now that we've bought it, let's not talk about him anymore." Guo Youxing felt sorry for his eldest son and had to save some face for him in front of everyone.
He can earn his own money and can decide what to buy.
Liang Xueying didn't want to talk anymore. She had already bought it, so how could she return it?
Guo Jianjun and Guo Yu were circling around the radio, touching it here and there, looking very curious about it.
Seeing that they had finished talking, they pestered Guo Jianping to teach them how to operate the radio.
Guo Jianping fiddled with it for a few seconds and then turned on the radio to play a storyteller, and then "Lin Hai Xue Yuan" stopped.
After listening for a while, everyone thought it was very exciting and wanted to listen again, but unfortunately the storytelling time was up.
"Shao Jianbo is so talented and resourceful, he's truly a hero." Guo Jianjun said with admiration on his face.
Deng Qingling didn't expect that this story also existed in this world, but there were some differences in time.
Could it be that there are time travelers in this world? Or is this China from a parallel world?
Then can I contribute to our motherland?
You have to know that during that turbulent period, intellectuals were generally persecuted, resulting in a gap and loss of knowledge in many areas. The country lost a lot of talents, which were all national treasures.
The loss of talent from all sides has caused the country to lag behind, and as the saying goes, those who lag behind will be beaten.
Regardless of whether it is the China of the modern society in the previous life, what can I do for this China now?
In the past, it was because of the efforts of those heroes who carried heavy burdens forward that the motherland and the people have peace. It is because of their sacrifice that we have today's stable and peaceful life. It is because of their dedication that the country has prosperity, prosperity and harmony.
I need to think carefully about how to help the country and the people.
Do we have to hand over all the matter in space?
Does anyone agree with the heroine handing over her space?
Or let the heroine live an ordinary life?
