At this time, Song Tanglan saw his younger brother whom he had not seen for a long time, and couldn't help but greet him with a bright smile. When he was hugged by him, Song Tanglan also hugged him back.
"Xiao Zi, I haven't seen you for half a year. You've grown a lot taller and become more handsome. I almost didn't recognize you."
"No way, fourth sister, look how similar we are, how could you not recognize me!" No matter how serious and solemn Song Tangzi is in front of outsiders, he always looks like a well-behaved and childish boy in front of Song Tanglan.
"Hahaha, Xiaozi, why don't you call me second brother-in-law?" Song Tanglan touched his brother's head and finally reacted and said.
"Second brother-in-law."
"Xiao Zi, welcome to our house. Please give the package to my second brother-in-law. Are you used to riding the train by yourself for the first time? Did you encounter any danger?"
"No, no, I wasn't used to it at first. It was just that there were so many people coming and going on the train, and I didn't talk to them. There were several people who wanted to chat with me, but I ignored them, so nothing happened. It's just that my mom was afraid that my money would be stolen, so I came here penniless. Fourth sister, remember to support me."
Song Tangzi felt very aggrieved after he finished speaking. Originally, his mother wanted to give him money to go to the countryside, but his bad father kept pestering him and insisted that it was not safe for a child like him to have money on him.
It's because he saw that he had so much money that he was jealous.
"Don't worry, Fourth Sister will take care of you!" Song Tanglan took the backpack and handed the two buns she had specially reserved to Song Tangzi, letting him fill his stomach first.
"Don't worry, your second brother-in-law won't let you starve." Cheng Fangyuan touched his brother-in-law's head helplessly, took the heavy package, and walked in front to lead the way.
"Xiao Zi, eat two buns first. I'll make you something delicious when I get home. You came at the right time. Tomorrow is Mumu's full moon banquet."
Song Tangzi took the buns and ate them without any hesitation. When he heard that there would be a full moon banquet tomorrow, his eyes lit up:
"Then I came at the perfect time. You don't know that Dad insisted that I wait until you replied to the telegram before I could buy a train ticket to come see you. I didn't want to wait that long. I went straight to buy the train ticket. When Mom found out, she scolded me while she packed my luggage for me. That's how I arrived before the little cub's full moon banquet."
When Song Tanglan saw her younger brother so proud, and thought about the content of the telegram, she could feel the anger from her old father.
"I know you're a man of ideas, but next time, be sure to discuss this with us. What if something happens to you on the train? What will you do to your family?"
"No, no, I'm very smart. As soon as I got on the train, I established a good relationship with the stewardess. I told her I was alone. After that, someone tried to bother me, but she sent them away. You don't know how cool that stewardess is. She could scold those people so badly with just a few words."
"Did you thank them?"
"Thanks. Did you even take out some candy to share with her?"
Song Tangzi was mumbling while eating his buns. Seeing his little appearance, Song Tanglan was afraid that he might fall without paying attention to the road, so she held his hand.
The three of them had a pleasant chat along the way. When they passed the post office, Cheng Fangyuan even sent a telegram to say that he had arrived so that his family could rest assured.
Then he took them to the tractor stop, where there were several tractors and many technicians repairing the tractors.
Cheng Fangyuan greeted Lao Zhang at the door expertly. After settling the bill, he heard Lao Zhang curiously ask, "Xiaoyuan, who are these two?"
"Master Zhang, look at my memory. These are my wife's younger brother and sister. The younger sister is an educated youth, and the younger brother just took the train to see the little one."
When Old Zhang heard this, he suddenly realized what was going on. He said that he had seen Xiaoyuan's wife, but it seemed that she was not this person, but she looked a bit similar, which made him a little confused.
"So that's how it is. Go drive your team's tractor. I just checked it and there's nothing wrong with it. I've added all the necessary water and oil."
"Okay, thank you, Master Zhang." Cheng Fangyuan then happily took the two of them towards the tractor. Valuable items like tractors need to be inspected once a year, and the cost is paid by the brigade.
Song Tangzi was also looking around curiously at this time. What boy doesn't like cars? It was just that this was the first time he saw a tractor. Although he had seen more expensive cars, he still looked at the tractor with great interest.
"Brother-in-law, are those people repairing the tractor?"
"Yeah, they're masters at this. Xiaozi hasn't even seen a tractor yet!"
Cheng Fangyuan asked curiously while loading the things onto the tractor.
"No, I haven't seen it, but I've read about it in books and heard that many communes have it."
"Every year, we have to rely on tractors to transport grain. Of course, otherwise it would take a long time to transport it by ox carts." Cheng Fangyuan patiently explained to the little guy.
"Don't you have that kind of truck? The kind used for delivery."
"We don't have them in the countryside. Of course, there are trucks that deliver goods to factories, but those belong to the factory and are very expensive. We don't lend them out."
Song Tangzi thought about it and nodded. He had seen many cars in the city and knew that those cars were very expensive. Even if they were sold, his family could not afford to buy a new one. So he often just looked at them with envy and had no intention of touching them, for fear that he would break them and his family would go bankrupt.
If Song Tanglan knew what his younger brother was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud, and then explain to him some basic knowledge and the family's financial situation.
The price of a car is only about two to three thousand now. Although imported ones are more expensive, their family can still afford it. It’s just that the family is used to being frugal, and Song’s father is the type of person who raises daughters in wealth and sons in poverty.
