Rebirth of the 90s: Dear Cub
Chapter 105: Qiqi Confusion
October in autumn gold is the season of rice harvest.
It should have been a busy time to harvest, but because of this incident, Taoxi Village lost half the pleasure of harvesting rice.
Every family has children who are away from home, and have a desire to get down to the ground before receiving a confirmed message.
After returning the injured young men to their homes to recuperate, the old village chief squatted under the roof of his house smoking a cigarette.
“Daddy, what do you think?” Luo Yuqiong sighed, knowing that the old man was worrying about the villagers again.
The old village chief smoked his cigarette twice before saying, "Did the third son of our family not contact our family for more than a year?"
Luo Yuqiong was collecting clothes on the clothes rail, when he heard this, his hands trembled, and all those clothes fell to the ground.
…
When Song Yueliang and Qiqi returned to the village, the sky was already filled with colorful clouds.
Qiqi couldn't wait to run home after getting out of the car. After turning two corners, he looked at the corner of the small fenced courtyard and shouted, "Mother-in-law, Qiqi is back!"
The skinny figure of the old woman immediately appeared at the door of the main hall, followed by Xiao Jiaojiao who walked out of the courtyard quickly to welcome her home.
"Hey, this is Qiqi coming home!" Zhang Xifeng narrowed his eyes in delight, and hugged the little baby who rushed to the courtyard gate, "I guess you'll be home around this time. Dinner's ready, wash your hands and eat."
Song Yueliang followed behind, watching this scene with a smile on her lips.
It was just that as the eyes glanced at the main hall, there was a glimpse of an oddity.
In Zhangjiatang's room, many villagers were sitting at this time, the TV was dead, and the atmosphere was dignified.
It's not the same as usual.
“Grandmother, what happened in the hall?” Song Yueliang asked.
Zhang Xifeng sighed, brought his mother and daughter straight to the kitchen, and said in a low voice when the rice was served, “something happened in the village.”
He briefly explained the matter, "Now there are family members working outside, and they all feel uncomfortable, so they are gathered in our house, he said, thinking of calling their children and asking the situation, so they can feel comfortable. ."
Those who were relieved were gone.
The people sitting in the main room were those who had already called but had not gotten any news, so they simply stuck to the phone while holding a glimmer of hope that they could wait for the call to come back.
“Who would have thought something like this would happen when I went to work.” In the end, Zhang Xifeng sighed.
Song Yueliang did not take it seriously, such a thing could be found everywhere, and there was so much darkness that you could not imagine.
In the last analysis, it was a wilderness.
After dinner, the sky was completely dark, some people were still waiting in the main hall, and some people had already left with worry.
This was the first time no one had come to watch TV at night after Zhang's home page got a TV.
Qiqi did not know why, but her heart felt depressed.
“Bu, are there many people in our village who can not return?” After taking a bath and lying on the bed, thinking about what he heard from his mother-in-law, Qiqi rolled around and could not sleep, "Huazi Brother, Tiejun Brother, their parents are all here working outside. If they knew the news that mom and dad wouldn't be back, they'd be very sad."
Song Yueliang thought for a moment, and said, “Such situations are extremely rare. Many people cannot go back, or do not want to go back, because their families are too poor and they cannot find a way out."
“Then how can we find the way out?”
“When the family is rich, the way out will come.”
…
The crops in the fields did not wait for anyone, no matter how distressed the villagers were, they had to rejoice and harvest the rice first.
The Zhang Xifeng family did not plant rice, so this was the most relaxed family in the busy agricultural season.
Huazi and Goudan schools issued busy farming duties. When returning to school after busy farming, each of them had to give up two catties of rice grains collected.
To the right of the village entrance, the golden rice fields had been harvested one by one, leaving only a few short stumps in the rice fields.
Qiqi was very serious about picking rice grains, wearing a small straw hat, bending over in the sun, carefully not releasing any corner in the field.
Compared to his seriousness and thoroughness, Huazi and Goudan looked lethargic, without the spirit they used to have when making trouble.
“Goudan, did your family call your parents?” Hua Zi asked.
Goudan nodded with a frown, "Yes, my parents said that they work in a factory and earn a salary every month, nothing happens."
“I still don't know where my parents work. They never told me when they came back.” Huazi lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly, "Outside not so good. Some of the people who came back from the outside yesterday were still there." Beaten."
"I don't think it's good outside either. It is better to plant watermelon at home. Isn't the watermelon in our village always valuable? Why not return it?"
This time, Xiya interrupted, "My father said that the land in this family is only limited. Waste of energy if the whole family returns to planting land that can be planted by two people. They can work." outside and get more for the family.money."
The rice thread in the small basket of Qiqi was already half a small size, and began to fall on her back.
He raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his cheeks, walked over to some of his friends, and stuffed the rice grain in the basket behind him into the basket behind each of them.
"Sister Xiya, but our village has a lot of land, and many mountains that have not been reclaimed. If it opens, we can plant more crops." Qi Qi thought so.
Taoxi village is surrounded by mountains.
There are so many mountains and so much land, if we plant them all, can't we make more money?
Several small radish heads looked at each other, "Could it be that all the mountains were planted with watermelon? If the watermelon is ripe, then up and down to transport watermelon? Fatiguing right?"
"It doesn't have to be all watermelon. Can you plant another one? Maybe there's something valuable that's easy to get?"
“Then tell me, what is valuable and easy to get?”
Qiqi scratched her head, "I should go back and ask my mother, my mother is so smart, she definitely knows."
The spirit of the little carrot head that previously could not regroup dispersed.
Asking is useless.
Not because there was no land in his village, but because his parents did not want to return.
In the past, when land was cleared in the mountains behind the village, didn't they say they asked migrant workers to come back and plant watermelons?
As a result, who came back? No one came back.
Qiqi looked at her distressed-looking friends, and did not know how to comfort them.
If one day my mother had to go to a very distant place and only met once a year, she would definitely be sadder than her friends.
“Eggy, how much money do you have to make to be with your family?” Qi Qi was a little confused.
The little egg man could not answer.
Some people can live happily with their family members with just a dollar in their pockets.
Some people, who have the wealth of millions, do not have time to stop and have dinner with their families.
Who knows?
This is not something that can be measured with a ruler.
There is no standard.
