Chapter 256 Breaking the story
The old comrades were all reserved, and He Zheng’s wish was not fulfilled.
Wang Xiu carried the second child and got into the car.
Erhe was also preparing to get on the bus, and inadvertently looked up and saw Zhao's mother standing outside the crowd. She was standing outside, stretching her neck to look inside, not knowing what she was looking at. She looked at Village Chief He, then at Wang Xiu, and also stared at the He family's imposing brick house.
When she realized Erhe was staring at her, she retracted her head again.
Erhe thought about it and didn't rush to get in the car.
I saw Zou Zhou, Li Xi and the Su family members were all there.
She lowered her voice and said, "I noticed that the Zhao family was acting suspiciously. You guys should be more careful and vigilant."
"Don't worry."
Several people said the same thing. In addition to Su's mother and other female comrades, Su's father and the brothers Su Dongtian and Su Xiatian were also there. With these male comrades around, Erhe felt that there shouldn't be any big trouble. Besides, the time was indeed almost right. If they set out too late, they would be delayed too long on the road.
Get in the car with the child in your arms.
Soon He Zheng also got in the car.
The green jeep drove out of the village, and this time it would take several months to come back.
Village chief He accompanied the people to the village entrance, watched the car disappear from his sight, stood for a while, and then turned around and walked back.
The other villagers were busy with other things, so most of them went back after watching the excitement.
Village Chief He had barely taken two steps when he saw Zhao's mother approaching. "Village Chief, your wife went to the capital to take care of her grandson, leaving you alone in the countryside. I'd say she's being unkind. You're a grown man, alone at home, doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of all the village affairs. She's just too naive to care for you. How about this? I'm free, so I'll cook for you later. And don't wash your dirty clothes yourself; I'll do it for you."
Village chief He thought she was going to say something serious, but when he heard this, his face turned pale.
"Get out of my way. Who told you to wash clothes and cook? I have my own hands."
"You can do the laundry and cooking, but what about other things? Wang Xiu won't be back for several months..."
Village Chief He could not fail to understand what the woman was saying. This kind of thing happened both inside and outside the village.
But he is not that kind of person!
With a sullen face, he pushed the person away.
"roll!"
What the hell!
His wife has been with him for more than 20 years and has taken good care of the family. Now his two sons are successful and his daughter-in-law has given him twin grandsons.
He gave up such a good family and got involved in all those messy things.
There's nothing wrong with his brain!
…
"A-choo!"
The jeep drove steadily. Wang Xiu and Erhe sat in the back seat, both holding their children in their arms.
Erhe also knew that it was not safe to do so, but that was the condition in that era. However, there was also an advantage, which was that there were few cars on the road, so it was relatively safe.
As the car drove out of the county town, Wang Xiu suddenly sneezed three times in a row.
Erhe quickly took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Mom, do you have a cold?"
Wang Xiu sniffed hard and said, "No, I've been taking good care of myself lately. I was afraid I'd catch a cold and infect the two children. They were fine when I left this morning."
He Zheng glanced back through the rearview mirror and teased his mother for not being soft-hearted. "Of course, Dad must have missed you!"
"This kid has no respect for his age!"
The atmosphere in the car was harmonious and even Wang Xiu had not expected that her comrade Lao He would be remembered by someone as soon as she left.
That's not true. No matter how old a man is, as long as he has good conditions, he is very likely to attract women.
Besides, it was not easy for them to travel all the way to Beijing. Fortunately, there was no highway at that time, so they didn’t have to stop at a service area.
At noon, the car stopped on the side of the road. I took care of some simple physiological issues and changed diapers and fed my two children.
When it got dark in the evening, He Zheng parked the car next to a village.
He had a letter of introduction given by the Third Master and a pass, and he was traveling with his family, so he stayed overnight at a villager's house.
They were able to eat hot food and have a good sleep. When leaving the next day, He Zheng left another five yuan for the villager.
It was not until the evening of the next day that Erhe and the others finally arrived in the capital, feeling their buttocks aching from riding in the car.
The capital is a city with strong characteristics of the times. Its architecture is different from that in the south, with square courtyards and a grand and majestic style.
Erhe had seen the city when it was more prosperous, but she had never seen it in such a simple era. She was also very curious and looked out the window. Wang Xiu couldn't take her eyes off and everything she saw was new. "I never thought that one day I would be able to come to the capital. Before, when I didn't go out, I always thought the county town was quite big. When I arrived in the provincial capital, I looked again and realized that the county town was really nothing. But now that I'm in the capital, it seems that our provincial capital is just average."
Actually, Erhe understands what this means. It means to broaden your horizons and see more of the outside world.
"Mom, forget it today. We're pressed for time. Let's go to where we're staying first. Tomorrow, when I have time, I'll take you out for a good walk."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's important to settle down first."
So, the car turned east and west in the capital, and Erhe could recognize that these were all courtyard houses.
Think about the price of these mansions in later generations.
She couldn't help but feel her heart beating wildly with excitement.
She is not greedy either.
As long as she could buy two courtyard houses, she would be satisfied.
Finally, after turning countless turns, Wang Xiu felt a little dizzy.
The car finally stopped in front of an ancient mansion.
"We're here." He Zheng parked the car and came over to open the back door.
Erhe got off the car first, followed by Wang Xiu.
He Zheng went around to the back to get his luggage.
Erhe also looked at the big house. She heard that many courtyard houses had become slums, but this one was obviously well maintained.
As I was looking around, someone ran out of the house.
"Erhe, Auntie, you are finally here. I have been waiting anxiously."
Liang Wenwen ran ahead, pulling Erhe with her. Then, unable to hold back, she stared at the two children and said, "Let me see my two godsons. They're so cute, much prettier than in the photos. Can I hug them?"
Erhe handed the boss to her.
As she was talking, she saw another person walking out of the courtyard. It was the Third Master whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Erhe hadn't seen the Third Master for a long time. She only felt that he had become much thinner, but there was a smile on his face. "Here he is."
Erhe nodded politely, "Third Master, we are sorry to bother you."
"It's okay,"
The Third Master walked down the steps, clearly also interested in the twins. Wang Xiu then handed the second child over and asked, "Do you want to hold him?"
Wang Xiu didn't know Third Master's last name, but she heard her son and daughter-in-law calling him "Third Master, Third Master". However, she was obviously older than Third Master, and calling him "Grandpa" seemed weird, so she compromised and used "you".
The Third Master was stunned. "My last name is Huo."
"Then," Wang Xiu said flexibly, "Comrade Huo, this is the second child, would you like to hold him?"
Uncle San had never held a baby and seemed inexperienced, but the little guy looked soft, so he hesitated for a while and then picked up Fanfan. Fanfan was awake, staring at the strange uncle with his big eyes. The child's eyes were pure, and Uncle San was inexplicably nervous.
Then he saw Fanfan looking at him for a while, and suddenly grinned.
