Chapter 23 Returning to Hometown
Chapter 24 Returning to Hometown
Fang Qing’s family chose a sunny day and returned to Liujiagou with their bags packed.
There was no convenient means of transportation at this time. Fang's mother and the two of them waited at the entrance of Shuiquan Street for more than half an hour, and finally saw a car driving slowly towards them.
There was a smell of diesel in the car. Fang Qing covered his nose and rested on his mother's shoulder. Although he was feeling better, he still felt nauseous occasionally. Fang's mother was afraid that Fang Qing's head would be too rough to bear the bumps, so she wrapped Fang Qing tightly in a cotton hat.
“Yesterday, the police from the police station came to your home for a return visit and said that the person who attacked you was caught. He is a sophomore in your school. Qingqing, when did you offend a sophomore in your school again?”
Fang Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Mom, I don't know either. Maybe I've been really unlucky recently. After returning to my grandma's house, I'd better go to the mountain to pay my respects."
Fang’s mother talked a lot along the way, saying that it was fortunate that the Wen brothers and sisters were alert and discovered Fang Qing’s disappearance in time, otherwise Fang Qing might have been buried in the cold cemetery this time.
Listening to her mother's words, Fang Qing felt a little scared. This incident had never happened in his previous life. Fang Qing couldn't help but wonder if his rebirth had changed some things, which triggered this series of reactions. That means that many things in the future may not match your memories of your previous life.
Fang Qing didn't know whether this was good or bad, but it also made Fang Qing more eager to strengthen his strength. Because only if you are strong, you will not be afraid of these dangers.
Fang Qing recalled the major events in his previous life and thought about how to change his future, and slowly fell asleep in the shaking carriage.
Liujiagou is located in the northwest of Jingtan County. It is surrounded by mountains and has a large river passing by. Sparse houses are arranged between the two mountains and have been cultivated for generations.
After getting off the bus next to the highway, I walked through a cornfield and saw rows of houses looming at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
The four members of the Fang family walked into the village in large and small bags, attracting the attention of the villagers who were sunbathing by the roadside.
Fang’s mother Liu Chunxia has not been back for three full years since her last ancestor worship. Now when I return to my hometown, I see some strange villagers on both sides of the road, and my eyes are filled with tears of excitement.
Fang’s mother took Fang Qing and Fang Ming along the way and introduced them to the villagers enthusiastically. She also enthusiastically held hands and promised to come and sit at home. Then she finally reached the west end of the village.
Under a jujube tree, several people were standing next to graphite and talking. My aunt, who was listening to the gossip with her sleeves folded, suddenly saw Liu Chunxia and the other two people walking towards them. She thought she had seen them wrong. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. Then she jumped up with a cry and hurriedly came forward to meet them.
"Chunxia, is it Chunxia? You girl, you know you are back! Are you tired from the journey? Come, give me your things, and come home with me quickly! Your elder brother was still talking about it yesterday, and I wonder if you will come back today."
Fang Qing, who was walking behind Fang's mother and aunt, watched her cheerful aunt take all the things in her mother's hands and rush back to a small courtyard in front of her.
Fang Qing entered the yard and only had time to notice the two old low houses in front of him. His aunt had already rushed into the house and shouted excitedly, "Master, come out quickly, Chunxia is back!"
Immediately afterwards, the thick curtain on the main door was lifted, and a tall, strong and honest man poked his head out of the curtain. He was stunned for a moment when he saw several people in the yard. He immediately bent his eyes the next second, wearing a Shanyi rushed out.
"Second girl, it's really you! Your sister-in-law just said you were back, and I still don't believe it. It's really you! Why didn't you send a message to your family in advance when you came back? I can pick you up at the entrance of the village in advance!"
At this time, although the uncle is no longer young, he is still in good condition. He was so happy to see his family back that he was incoherent. The mother was also very excited when she saw her uncle. After saying hello to each other, she quickly pulled the two children over.
Looking at the two grown-up children in front of him, the uncle was very happy, "Da Ming grew up so fast. When he came here, he was only about my chest level, and now he is taller than me! The same goes for Qing Yatou, who was still taller when she was a child. Sitting on my shoulder and picking dates, you are now a big girl!”
The eldest aunt put the things away and came out, and slapped the uncle on the shoulder, "You are such a person, please let the children into the house quickly, so as not to freeze again."
Only then did the uncle realize that something was wrong, and he quickly greeted a few people with a smile, and took the lead in opening the curtain to let everyone in.
In this era of rural areas, living conditions were still very backward. Unlike what Fang Qing saw on TV in his previous life, they were all clean and tidy houses with running water and collective heating.
At this time, Liujiagou had conservative ideas and had only relied on farming for generations. Some young people don't want to live this kind of life, so they leave their hometowns to work. However, they only bring back some money when they go home for the New Year every year, but they do not bring back advanced development ideas.
As soon as Fang Qing stepped into the house, his eyes were filled with darkness. She could only hear the voices of the people next to her, but could not see anything. She was not surprised. She understood that it was because fires had been burning in the house all year round and the walls were blackened. After closing his eyes and slowly adapting for a while, Fang Qing could finally see the scene in front of him clearly.
The main room used to be a kitchen and a dining room. There are two stove pits on both sides when you enter. Opposite the door is a wooden cabinet. You can vaguely see the bowls and chopsticks inside. There is an old table in the center of the main room with a pickle on it. bowl.
The uncle opened the curtain of the room on the right and asked Fang Qing and others to hurry in. This should be the uncle's bedroom. As soon as you enter the door, there is a big kang next to the window, with a golden straw mat on it and a lazy tabby cat lying on it.
Opposite the big Kang is a row of mahogany cabinets. Apart from some daily necessities and a calendar, there is nothing else on the cabinets. On the contrary, there is a large photo frame hanging on the wall above the mahogany cabinet, which is densely packed with various black and white photos, and there are several study certificates next to it.
Seeing that Fang Qing was interested in the photos, her aunt led her over and explained them to him one by one.
The uncle and mother leaned on the edge of the kang and talked about their life experiences in the past two years. The brother and sister hadn't seen each other for many years, and it seemed like they couldn't finish talking. It wasn't until the big rooster outside the yard crowed several times that the eldest aunt slapped her thigh and said, "It's broken. I'm still cooking porridge in the pot. Chunxia, please sit down. I Go check it out.”
The uncle finally remembered the business, "How long are you going to stay when you come back this time? This year's ancestor worship will be grander than in previous years, so please stay a few more days."
Fang's mother nodded, "Brother, besides visiting our parents' graves, we have other things to do when we come back this time. We have to stay for seven or eight days, and then we will cause trouble for you and your sister-in-law."
The uncle's honest and honest face finally showed a smile, "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, it's good to come back."
