Chapter 817 The Children Go to Hongqi Township
Ever since the new house in Guwu Domain was built, Bai Jincheng and Jun Qingqing made a special trip back to Hongqi Township, mainly to tidy up the old house left behind.
More than a year ago, Uncle Jin Fu received a message from his second son, implicitly mentioning the upcoming policy.
Before the production team's title was abolished, he quickly relinquished the position of team leader and symbolically held a small meeting of several village leaders. He gathered everyone together and, in the name of nomination, let his eldest son Zhu Aiguo take the lead.
To be honest, because of the fact that Zhu Jinfu's son and daughter-in-law worked hard to make every family rich, no one opposed this decision.
Not only that, in order to come back to support the construction of her hometown, Zhu Yinfen resolutely gave up the opportunity to stay in the big city after graduating from university and went to teach in the town school.
Now, my husband and I have been promoted to leaders in junior high school and high school respectively. Many of our neighbors and relatives have received help to varying degrees, and this friendship is firmly remembered in your hearts.
So when Jun Qingqing came back, she went straight to Brother Aiguo if she had anything to do.
He explained that he hoped to demolish the yard again, and took out a design drawing that he had prepared long ago from his bag. It showed a two-story building with a loft. Even if you didn't understand the twists and turns, just looking at the rooms marked with their uses, you could tell that a lot of thought had gone into it.
She and Bai Jincheng had discussed this long ago. Not only did they buy a vacant lot near their old home to facilitate expansion, but they also considered hiring people from outside to do odd jobs so that they would have someone to help look after the construction team when they returned. It would be better to hand it over directly to Zhu Aiguo.
Give some to the village. No, now we should ask the people in the village to give some preferential treatment.
When the first self-built building was completed in Hongqi Township, the neighbors all went back and counted their own savings to see if they could afford such a residence after learning the total cost.
The first person to take action was undoubtedly Zhu Aiguo, who followed up the whole process. He knew the layout very well and even made a rough confirmation in advance before acceptance.
No one has a better say than him about how convenient it is.
Although he is becoming more and more adept at managing a large number of things at work, he still discusses any decision for his family with his parents, wife, younger brother and two younger sisters.
No matter if they get married or work in another place, this is always their home.
Zhu Aimin, Zhu Jinfen and Zhu Yinfen cannot come back, so even if they call us, we will explain the general situation clearly.
So when Jun Qingqing and others went there, they saw that Zhu Aiguo seemed to want to say something, and they couldn't help but feel like laughing, because usually this guy is not in this mood.
After all, she was the first to bring up the topic, and when she learned the reason, she agreed without hesitation to her neighbor's request to use the blueprint.
When several children came back for the first time after growing up, they were discussing in a low voice in the car whether the so-called countryside was really as others said, with flat houses and dirt roads everywhere.
Knowing what they were talking about, the couple did not express any opinions at all. They just smiled and looked at each other, and they could see the gleam in each other's eyes.
After leaving Beijing, we drove on national highways all the way, and most places have not been repaired yet, so we encountered potholes from time to time and were bumped around. The children in the car have gradually adapted to this pace.
Suddenly, the car seemed to become much more stable. The quintuplets were still wondering when they heard Jun Qingqing say, "We have entered the territory of Hongqi Township. In order to make it easier to sell the vegetables grown by everyone, the local leaders even raised money to repair the road from the beginning."
Everyone showed an incredible expression in response.
However, even bigger surprises were yet to come. As we continued driving, we saw fields of vibrant crops before our eyes, and there were greenhouses at the back.
After this place, rows of two-story buildings are lined up in an orderly manner.
You can see the difference inside through the gaps, and from the outside it looks like it was specially planned.
From Jinguo, Yinuo, Songuo to Tangbao and Xinbao, each of them looked out through the window and occasionally made a few comments.
Suddenly the car stopped in front of one of the gates. I saw my parents open the door and get out. Before I knew what was going on, I heard Bai Jincheng say, "Come down quickly. We're home."
Confused, dazed, and dazed, they stood still from the eldest to the fifth.
Jun Qingqing explained: "The places in the house that need to be cleaned recently still need cleaning. Although we said we would be back in advance, we only asked your uncle Aiguo to find someone to help do a rough job."
Hearing this, the children showed surprised expressions. As the eldest brother, Bai Youli took the initiative to ask: "Mom, is this our house? I remember it used to be a small courtyard. Although it was better than other houses nearby, it was impossible to distinguish the first floor from the second floor, and the area could not even be as large as it is now."
I didn't expect that my daughter and son had such a deep impression of their childhood events. I walked up to Jinguo and touched his head with relief.
"It was indeed torn down and rebuilt. After our current residence in the Ancient Martial Domain was repaired, we decided to build the house in our hometown as well. And since you guys started learning all kinds of extracurricular knowledge when you were three years old, you have never come back. So it's normal not to know what has changed, including the village. Take this opportunity to experience it well."
The quintuplets became even more excited when they saw the grape trellis in the yard and even the lush vegetable garden at the back.
In the next few days, they gradually became familiar with other children of the same age around them. Without any arrangements made by their parents, they went out to the back mountain with their friends to look for wild fruits, touch bird eggs, and go to the river to catch fish and shrimps.
The day before returning to Beijing, Bai Jincheng and Jun Qingqing were packing their things into the car, and the little ones went to their new friends' homes one by one to say goodbye.
After dinner, the knocking on the door never stopped for more than two hours, starting from the time the first child came over with some local specialties as gifts.
The family photo that I am most satisfied with during this trip is the one taken in the yard with seven of us. It can be seen from the road that they all seemed to be having a great time.
However, according to the plan, the subsequent learning courses had already been arranged. At first, Jun Qingqing was indeed worried that her daughter and son would not be able to concentrate for a while.
Obviously, the worry was totally unnecessary. It had to be said that these kids were definitely repaying their gratitude in this life. Even Yinguo, who usually looked the most casual, quickly adjusted his state.
Of course, the so-called "most lax" control group here is the other four children in the family.
For subsequent trips, opinions were sought in advance, so the quintuplets’ horizons became broader and broader, and they were sometimes able to express unique insights on many issues.
After Bai Yuanshan and Jun Jingjie knew this, they began to praise their great-grandson, granddaughter, great-grandson-in-law and granddaughter-in-law in various ways.
Many years ago, Jun Qingqing went to Zhonghai specifically to treat No. 1. She frankly said that after the detoxification, the physical conditioning of the two, including No. 2, was left to her.
Probably because he had suffered too much loss earlier, and had insisted on working despite frequent symptoms, the last two pulse checks clearly revealed that his body had begun to deteriorate.
Especially Grandpa Shen, even though the first time he gave him the pills, he added longevity pill powder, he was afraid of being discovered, so he only added it that time. Now, after a long time, the effect has been almost consumed.
Jun Qingqing was a little conflicted, not knowing whether she should intervene. Since she couldn't make a decision immediately, in order to accommodate any changes that might arise later, she said she would readjust the prescription before leaving.
After returning home, she explained her concerns to Bai Jincheng, but he did not give her any direct advice. Instead, he asked her to think carefully about how to ensure her own safety and leave the rest up to her.
