The ox cart was covered with thick straw and a thick quilt on top of it.
"The quilt looks familiar."
Lin Wanru reached out and touched the soft quilt, her eyes full of nostalgia.
In the 1970s, most quilt covers were made of coarse cloth, but this quilt is different. The quilt cover is made of high-quality satin.
In the entire Chenjiatun, apart from my own home, I may not be able to find any other place.
"Teacher Li Xue was worried that you would be cold, so she sent it to my house last night and asked me to spread it in the car today so that you can keep warm.
If Lele wasn't so young, Teacher Li Xue would have come with me to pick you up."
Hu Zi turned his head and said as he controlled the ox cart to go back.
"Hu Zi, how are you all doing now? Is there anything new?"
Yang Baiyi also wanted to know everyone's recent situation eagerly.
"Doctor Yang, last year we expanded our sunflower cultivation to cover a total of 50 mu of riverside land.
The farm still bought the melon seeds at the original price of 30 cents per pound. Fifty acres of melon seeds were sold for over 1,500 yuan, and every household received more than 100 yuan.
When talking about the recent changes in the village, Hu Zi began to talk incessantly.
After the bumper melon seed harvest last year, the members of Chenjiatun were both happy and nervous.
Everyone knows that the reason why the farm was willing to purchase melon seeds from Chenjiatun was entirely because of Yang Baiyi's favor.
The vast fields of the state-owned farm and the fifty acres of riverside land with melon seeds are dispensable to them.
Everyone still underestimated Yang Baiyi's influence and Sun Zhenhua's integrity.
Chen Baiwang went to the farm, and a convoy followed him to Chenjiatun that day and brought all the melon seeds back to the farm.
It’s still thirty cents per pound, not a penny less.
Each family gets more than 100 yuan, which is definitely a huge sum of money in a mountain village where there are no side jobs.
Everyone is very grateful for Yang Baiyi's kindness. Although Yang Baiyi has left Chenjiatun, there are still legends about him in Chenjiatun. His prestige has not only not decreased, but has shown signs of becoming even greater.
"That's good."
Most of Yang Baiyi's educated youth friends are backbone members of the melon seed factory. If the melon seed factory performs well, their lives will not be too bad.
“My sister is married to Cui Jinfa and is about to have a baby.
Dong Yiming and He Yingying are also married, as are Zhang Hui and Xu Qiaofeng.
Hu Zi knew what Yang Baiyi was worried about, so he told him a brief account of what happened in the educated youth compound.
After Yang Baiyi left, Han Fei and his family of three moved into the small blue brick courtyard, and the two houses in the educated youth compound were vacated.
Dong Yiming and He Yingying, Zhang Hui and Xu Qiaofeng all had their own wedding houses, so they held a simple ceremony and then went to the commune to get their marriage certificates.
Cui Jinfa didn't have a wedding house and was not in a hurry to get married. However, Chen Baiguang and Hu Chunge were eager to marry off their daughter, so they contributed money and effort. Together with the money and bills mailed by Cui Jinfa's family, they soon built three adobe houses behind the educated youth compound.
"It's great that the blond is going to be a father."
Although there were many educated youth in the same batch, their relationships varied, and Cui Jinfa was definitely the closest to Yang Baiyi.
Now Cui Jinfa is about to become a father, and Yang Baiyi is sincerely happy for him.
Yang Baiyi explained to him the situations he might face in the future after marrying a rural woman, and Cui Jinfa was also prepared to take responsibility.
As a good friend, Yang Baiyi didn't say anything else except his blessings.
As they talked along the way, the ox cart arrived at Chenjiatun unknowingly.
The winter in Northeast China is extremely cold, and people rarely go out unless they have nothing to do, so the village seems a bit deserted.
Hu Zi drove the ox cart directly to the courtyard where Yang Baiyi used to live.
“Woof woof woof…”
The dogs had extremely sensitive noses. As soon as the ox cart arrived at the gate of the yard, they had already smelled the scent of their owner and rushed out of the yard to greet him.
"Brother, it's Dahuang and Dahei. They're coming out to greet us."
The little girl shouted excitedly when she saw the dogs circling around the ox cart.
"Don't lick it. It's so cold, my face will be frozen soon."
Yang Baiyi stroked the dogs one by one, quietly transferring wood energy to them. The dogs hummed with comfort and wagged their tails around Yang Baiyi.
"Bai Yi, Wan Ru, Xiao Xiao, you are finally here. Come home quickly, your sister-in-law will be ready for lunch soon."
Han Fei came out with a group of educated youth.
After receiving Yang Baiyi's telegram, Chen Baiwang notified all the educated youth. Everyone counted the days on their fingers and gathered in the blue brick courtyard early this morning.
"Godfather, godmother, little aunt."
Lele is almost three years old, and he is very cute with his chubby face.
"Le Le is so good, this is the New Year's money given to you by your godfather."
"This is my godmother's."
Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru quickly took out the red envelopes, which they had already prepared in Luoshui City.
"It's almost the 15th, forget about the New Year's money."
When Han Fei saw the thickness of the red envelope, he quickly refused on behalf of his son.
"It's still the New Year before the first month of the year ends. This is something I gave to my godson. It has nothing to do with you."
Lele had a pocket over his cotton-padded jacket, and Yang Baiyi stuffed the red envelope into his pocket.
"Huzi, the ox cart will be delivered later. Let's have lunch together at noon."
It was such a cold day, and Hu Zi ran to the town to pick someone up, and had a drink of wine at noon to warm himself up.
"That won't do. The captain has told me to notify Doctor Yang as soon as I get a call. If I stay here for dinner, he'll beat me up."
"Okay, come over with the captain later."
Hu Zi's family and Chen Baiwang's family live next door to each other, so there is no need to go the wrong way.
After seeing Hu Zi off, everyone surrounded Yang Baiyi and the other two and went home.
The furnishings in the yard were still so familiar, no different from when they left.
"Brother Han, don't you live in the main house?"
Looking at the familiar furnishings in the room, Yang Baiyi couldn't help but be stunned.
You can tell at a glance whether someone has lived in the house before. No matter how disciplined a person is, it is impossible for the house to remain exactly the same after living there for nearly a year.
"We live in the east wing. We rarely come into the main room except for necessary cleaning. We haven't moved the furnishings yet. We're just waiting for you to come back and live here."
Han Fei explained with a smile.
As soon as Yang Bai left, Han Fei made it clear that they lived here just to look after the house for Yang Baiyi.
"The weather has been bad these past few days, and we haven't seen much sun. Your sister-in-law was afraid the quilts would get damp, so she put them next to the stove to dry them. This ensures they'll stay warm when you sleep at night."
Han Fei said the simplest words, but made Yang Baiyi and Lin Wanru feel the greatest warmth.
"Comrade Jinfa, Yiming, and Zhang Hui, congratulations on your wedding and entering a new stage in your life."
Yang Baiyi looked at the three married people and gave his blessings.
"Comrade Yang Baiyi, I'm ahead of you. You and Comrade Lin Wanru should speed up."
Cui Jinfa glanced at Huniu's belly with a smug smile on his face.
