On the 28th day of the first lunar month, four wheels rolled over the narrow path that was trampled out by humans.
Looking up, there are three big mountains on both sides of the road.
As we drove deeper, we felt an oppressive feeling as if there were several mountains above our heads.
This is how Bi Yue feels.
Others, on the other hand, were looking forward to it eagerly.
Under the expectation of the Bi family, the Xiali car finally drove into Zhaojiatun.
The meaning of private cars in the 1980s can be summed up in three words: amazing.
As the car drove into the village, it seemed to be announcing to the villagers:
The Bi family, once a famous poor family in the village, is different now!
The ox cart of Old Wang's family at the west end of the village and the handcart of the famous rich family in the village were all completely defeated in comparison. Only the Bi family could be said to have really upgraded their weapons.
In order to appear even richer to other people's families, this drive home for the New Year was indeed very tiring.
In order to hurry on his way, Bi Tielin even just passed by the county town where Bi Jinzhi was staying, but did not stop. He tiredly stepped on the accelerator all the way to save time, and took turns driving with Bi Yue.
To be honest, the journey from Kyoto to Zhaojiatun is more than a thousand kilometers and it is quite painful.
When Bi Tielin was driving at night, he even felt a little regretful.
Not to mention, Bi Yue didn't understand why she had to drive home for the New Year at first.
Bi Yue was pounding his waist with one hand while holding the steering wheel with the other, muttering and complaining all the way.
Bi Yue didn't understand. You're talking about a junky Xiali, not a Maserati, with a dent in the back. What's the point of driving it back home and showing it off? Even if you want to show off, you still have to live in a dilapidated house that's about to collapse.
Why not wait until spring, grit your teeth and stamp your feet? What does it mean to increase your reputation? Snap, build a three-story Western-style house, right?
From now on, that small Western-style building will be used as the ancestral home. Everyone who passes by will have to take a look at it. How prestigious will that be?
But when they drove into the village, a strong cold wind blew on her neck, making it feel chilly. She looked, listened, and felt everything in front of her, and she began to understand.
Bi Tiegang didn't care that the car hadn't stopped yet, and suddenly opened the door, causing air to leak out from everywhere. Bi Tielin was so scared that he stepped on the brakes and stopped. He didn't even have time to blame his brother, and quickly looked towards the side of the road.
Needless to say, I guess I met someone with whom I have a particularly good relationship.
Bi Sheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat with Bi Yue, rolled down the window and waved outside, shouting:
"Shuanza, I'm here! I came back by car!"
Bi Sheng was so excited that he didn't even wear a cotton hat. He opened the car door and jumped out, shouting "Shuanzi, Shuanzi" as he ran.
Bi Yue sat there blinking her big eyes without moving, watching her father limping and banging on the door of the Xiali car, his face pale and he couldn't help laughing.
"Tie Lin, look, your uncle, do you still recognize him?! Get down quickly, what are you doing? Hurry up, open the back door for me, how can you open the back door? I need a cigarette!"
Third uncle, well, Bi Yue had heard Liu Yafang talk about it. When her grandfather fell ill for the first time and was sent to the city for diagnosis and treatment, this third uncle handed over eight yuan and said:
"I can't even write the word 'Bi' with one stroke. Whether you're rich or poor, you've got it all. This is all the Third Master can do. If you can cure the disease, good days are still to come."
If this car stops at the entrance of the village, it will be a mess.
Bi Yue felt that she was very weak.
It wasn't that she was being pretentious and didn't want to get off the car. It was just that she didn't know any of the people outside and couldn't get a word in with anyone.
Is your popularity really that bad? Don't you have any good friends?
Her parents, Bi Cheng, Bi Sheng, and even her uncle who had been in prison for seven years, could all get out of the car and say something to this or that.
It would have been fine if she didn't know anyone, but her mother was always exaggerating. She would pull the hand of any aunt or uncle and force her to get off the car and say hello.
In fact, she only remembered Auntie Fatty, and she didn't know who was who among the others, which annoyed her. She hated the way Liu Yafang forced her to say hello the most.
Bi Yue leaned over to pull the coat from the back seat and put it on, while secretly warning herself: When I have my own children tomorrow, I will definitely not force them to greet people. It's so annoying!
Fortunately, Bi Yue was familiar with Uncle Zhao Shugen and Aunt Ge Yufeng.
Bi Yue got out of the car and looked around, feeling puzzled because she didn't see Brother Dashan.
Aren’t you back?
The village entrance is so lively. If something exciting happens, half of the village will know about it. Why doesn't he come out?
Zhao Shugen and Ge Yufeng were already trotting towards the village entrance from a distance. Ge Yufeng, still looking plump, shouted at the top of her voice:
"Hey, you guys are finally back! We haven't even seen any of you!"
Bi Yue secretly pushed Bi Cheng's arm and whispered:
"Let's go? Let's go back first. I'm almost frozen into a popsicle. Why is it so cold here? Besides, look at the way they're talking. You said you don't mind the cold, but I think it will last for half an hour."
Bi Cheng's expression remained unchanged. He still smiled and waved to his junior high school classmates, saying, "I'm going to go back and rest. I'll come find you when I'm tired." Then he sighed softly,
"Sister, I'm still injured. My parents are really not running away. Why don't they go home and burn the house? Let me lie on the cold kang. Come on, let's run away first."
Bi Yue held Bi Cheng's arm imperceptibly, as if to prevent him from slipping. As the brother and sister walked further and further away, they could hear someone behind them praising them in a uniquely exaggerated tone:
"You guys finally made it. Look at how tall those two kids are. Wow, college students are really different."
It turns out that growing tall has nothing to do with genes, but has to do with whether or not one goes to college. In that case, Yao Ming must have been a postdoctoral fellow.
Bi Yue was filled with emotion and said with a smile:
"Oh, no wonder even our mother, who's so good at making a living, urged us to drive home. All this time just to listen to some flattery. I was wondering how our uncle, who is such a stickler for efficiency, could agree to this. It's really a tacit understanding."
