Not long after returning to the factory, it was time to get off work.
Now that Mo Xinxin, the little nurse, was here, Chen Yong didn't have to do the cleaning himself anymore. This was a happy thing.
After instructing Mo Xinxin to clean up, he left the infirmary and went home.
Returning to the courtyard, they passed by the middle courtyard.
He found that the Jia family was very lively today, and only then did he remember that today was the day of the Jia family's wedding banquet. Recalling what Xu Damao had told him that day, he felt inexplicably gratified. He really hoped that Jia Dongxu and his mother could always be " happy."
The Jia family's wedding banquet had nothing to do with him.
Not only did it have nothing to do with him, but it also had nothing to do with most of the people in the quad.
These days, the wedding banquet was different from the past. Other than relatives and some special guests, no one else would be invited. In the entire courtyard, it was said that the Jia family only invited three elders. If anyone else wanted to eat, they could forget about it.
In fact, the Jia family didn't want to go if they didn't invite him.
After all, they had to give gifts to the newlyweds at the wedding banquet. Even if they only gave a pair of porcelain cups, they would still have to spend money to buy them. Everyone's lives were not well-off to begin with. It was better to keep the money to supplement their family expenses.
Ignoring the bustling Jia family, he returned home.
The fire brick bed and the floor had been completed today. He did a simple inspection and found that Master Zhu's craftsmanship was impeccable.
The next day was a Sunday, so Chen Yong was preparing to return to Shanqian Village. He only had a few bites for dinner and went to bed early on the heated brick bed.
The next day, Chen Yong woke up very early.
He washed up and boiled water with the stove before setting off on his bicycle.
It was just after six o'clock when there was a little light. He found a grain and oil store, bought two catties of large sesame cakes, and ate a bowl of old tofu before riding out of the city.
Chen Yong wasn't from Beijing before he transmigrated, so he couldn't get used to drinking that bean juice.
Today, he had returned to Shanqian Village to purchase some supplies to sell in the city. Although he was very familiar with the villagers, he had specially put on a brand new cadre uniform to increase his persuasiveness.
In fact, the military uniform was a Chinese tunic suit.
Because of the cold weather, they could only wear a little more inside. Coupled with the pair of leather shoes on their faces, they looked really scary. They looked even more stylish than some real leaders.
He did it to avoid trouble.
After all, private sales were prohibited at this time. He did not have a recommendation letter, so he could only put in some effort on his clothes.
Shanqian Village was also south of Yanjing City, but after leaving the city, the Qin Family Village was due south. Shanqian Village had to go west first, and the distance was much further than the Qin Family Village. Chen Yong rode for more than three hours to reach.
Chen Yong had never lived in Yanjing before he transmigrated, so he didn't know where Shanqian Village belonged to in the future.
Shanqian Village was relatively remote, and there was still a long way to go from the main road. The road out of the village was a small road that the villagers took a long time to walk on. The road conditions were very poor, and at most, an ox cart could pass through it.
Shanqian Village wasn't big. Looking inside from the entrance of the village, there were at most thirty houses.
Behind the village was an endless mountain forest, with no end in sight. Chen Yong had lived here for nearly a year before. At that time, he often went into the mountains with the Li brothers, and every time, they would bring back some delicacies.
Pushing his bicycle into the familiar village, he had not been back for nearly a year.
When he returned to this place, he couldn't help but think of the time when he had just transmigrated. From an alley in the future, he appeared in this village in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for Uncle Li, it would have been much harder for him to adapt to this era.
"Who are you? Why did you come to our village?"
Just as Chen Yong was lost in his memories, a vigilant female voice suddenly sounded from not far away.
Chen Yong shivered in fear and turned around reflexively. He saw a middle-aged woman in her forties looking at him warily. She was a typical peasant woman with a few patches on her old cotton coat.
Chen Yong immediately recognized her. He smiled and pointed at himself." Aunt Niu, I'm Chen Yong."”
"Chen Yong?" Aunt Niu took a closer look and smiled." Oh, it's Da Yong. You're dressed so extravagantly that I almost didn't recognize you."”
After recognizing Chen Yong, Aunt Niu became very enthusiastic.
The main reason was that Chen Yong had treated many villagers during the year he lived in the village. For example, Aunt Niu's cough for many years was cured by him using herbs from the mountains. Also, Aunt Niu's youngest son, who was often sick, was now much better after treatment. He was quite the benefactor of Aunt Niu's family. How could Aunt Niu not be warm?
"How is Shi Tou's body now?" Chen Yong asked out of habit.
Stone was the nickname of Aunt Niu's youngest son. At this time, the countryside would give their children nicknames. Moreover, nicknames were not very nice. It was a characteristic of the times to have a cheap name that was easy to raise.
"Good…good, that little bastard's body is very sturdy now.”Aunt Niu's face was full of smiles when she mentioned her son.
After chatting with Aunt Niu for a while, Chen Yong declined her invitation to visit him at home. He then continued to push his bicycle to Uncle Li's house.
Li Shucai was the village chief of Shanqian Village.
At this moment, he was sitting in his courtyard with a frown, a hint of worry in his eyes.
This month, the secretary of the Commune had talked to him several times because the newspapers reported that there was a bumper harvest in the south this year. The target for the next year was twice as much as this year's. However, as an old farmer, he knew very well that it was impossible to achieve this goal.
Recently, it was not only their community, but the other communities were also aiming for higher goals.
His Shanqian Village was not big, with only about 30 families. The entire village was basically made up of relatives. The fields in the village were almost all mountain fields, and the yield was not high. After paying the public grain every year, it was just enough to eat.
Now, the Commune requested that the target be at least doubled.
This meant that the public grain next year would also have to be doubled, which was an impossible task for the village.
Thinking of this, Li Shucai thought of his second son. The second son would be twenty years old next year. He originally wanted to ask someone to arrange a marriage for him, but in this situation, eating was almost a problem, so how could he arrange a marriage?
"Sigh, what a sin."
Li Shucai let out a long sigh, his heart heavy.
"Uncle Li…Is Uncle Li at home?"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside.
Eh, it sounded like Da Yong.
Thinking of Chen Yong, Li Shucai quickly got up and ran out to open the door. When he opened the door and saw that it was really Chen Yong, he immediately smiled warmly." Da Yong, why are you here? Come in quickly. You're such a child. It's been so long since you came back to see Uncle Li. I thought you weren't in Yanjing City anymore."”
"How can I? Aren't I here now?”Chen Yong scratched his head in embarrassment.
Back then, he had come to this era alone. It was all thanks to this middle-aged man in front of him that he had taken him in. Otherwise, he would probably have a problem with his life. He would remember this kindness in his heart for the rest of his life.
He pushed the bicycle into the yard and stopped. He immediately unloaded the things on the back of the bicycle.
These things were gifts he had specially prepared. A large pig's trotter, five catties of pig suet, three catties of pork belly, ten catties of lean meat, and twenty catties of fine noodles. They were all packed in a sack.
