Chapter 41 End of the Year
Secretary Tian and his friends lived in Fang Ning's house for four days before leaving. Fang Ning breathed a sigh of relief. It was really that Tian Ye was so tangled. And one thing was that he had strong adaptability and quickly played with the children in the village. Sometimes he rolled in the fields together, making him go home covered in mud, but Secretary Tian smiled happily.
What a strange family...
The life of Fang Ning's family has returned to normal. In the end, the grandfather of the late autumn has a lot to do. The golden millet fills the granary. The granary is in the cellar, with good ventilation conditions and dry moisture in the air, so that the grain can be stored to the greatest extent and delayed the spoilage period.
The cotton planted in the fields at the east end of the village has also been harvested. A large amount of cotton is transported back to the small workshop in the village. The cotton seeds are rolled and peeled, and the short velvets are removed and cleaned, and then piled into bundles in the warehouse to wait for later use.
A series of measures also made the villagers feel a little nervous. After all, this was not the case in previous years. They were not fools. They all wanted to find out some information from Fang Jiefang. As a result, everyone was very taboo. Whenever someone asked about it, they gritted their teeth and refused to say a word.
Fang Ning and the others still went to school as usual. As the leaves of the maple leaves slowly fell off in autumn, snakes, insects, rats and ants in the old forest disappeared. The children all felt strange. A naughty child took out a lot of dried rat meat from the snake's hole and told the teachers about this situation. Snakes usually hibernate and there is no reason to store so many things. The floating branches and Fang Chengzhong thought of a result, and their scalp was a little numb and they dared not think about it.
As the days passed, the calendars hanging on the corners of the wall gradually became thinner.
The weather has also become cooler, and sometimes it will rain a few times, which adds some melancholy to this hazy autumn.
Fang Jiefang sighed and just asked his family to add more clothes.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed, and the end of 2007, and only the last half month left was a new chapter. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, everyone was busy, and they all walked out of the village to buy New Year's goods to the town or county, and the New Year atmosphere became stronger and stronger.
The southern region was affected by the strong air-conditioning in Siberia, and the weather became colder and colder. The northwest wind blew across the valley. Everyone started to wear cotton coats to avoid the cold. The crops were basically gone and their labor stopped. They all stayed in their rooms and roasted the fire, enjoying the hard-won leisure time for a year.
Fang Ning’s parents got on the train yesterday. Including the time, they will be able to arrive in the county town tonight.
Considering that they were carrying a lot of luggage, Fang Ning and his grandfather went there, and his sister and grandmother stayed at home to stay at home.
This is Fang Ning's second time to come to the county town.
The New Year atmosphere in Pinghai small town is very strong, with red lanterns hanging everywhere on the streets. The people in the county are full of joy. The Bibotan Bridge is filled with traffic. Under the bridge is filled with turbulent Mishui, the blue sky and blue waves are connected, and the scenery is infinitely beautiful. Unfortunately, Fang Ning and others are just passing by by the bus and do not stop.
Pinghai County in later generations certainly had great changes from this time. In the process of high-rise development, the original old streets in the central area were gradually moved to Xinkai District. High-rise buildings were lined up one after another, commercial streets, food streets, and pedestrian streets were from scratch, especially residential and commercial centers formed by the fan-shaped area of No. 1 Middle School. Then, in 14 years, the highway was opened to traffic behind No. 1 Middle School, and countless merchants moved in, turning the entire Pinghai small town upside down.
Speaking of the transportation distribution center, we have to mention the newly built new bus station. This station diverts most of the traffic flow, and the driving distance to big cities basically leaves here. This is also the second central area that has emerged after the No. 1 Middle School area. The movie city, cafe, Internet cafe, and sports center have all formed a scale here.
Fang Ning's parents took a large bus from Donghuan, Guangzhou, and took more than ten hours to arrive at the new station in the county town.
Fang Jiefang calculated the time and rushed to the new station. If there was no delay, he would be able to see his son and daughter-in-law in half an hour.
"I really want to see my parents soon." Fang Ning was slightly expectant.
Fang Jiefang smiled and touched his head, "Well, I'll see you soon."
At the same time, Fang Linghuo and Ding Xingxing kept looking towards Pinghai County in the Guangdong-licensed bus.
When they think about seeing their relatives again, they feel excited, but at the same time they are also a little confused, or they are even more timid in their hometown feelings!
For Fang’s parents, Fang Ning and Fang Wei are a continuation of their bloodline, but they went out to work very early, so the responsibility of raising Fang Ning and others fell on Fang Jiefang. It was fake to say that they didn’t feel guilty. Which parent doesn’t want their children to be by their side? It’s just that life is not easy, and they can’t make money when working in their hometown, so they can only go out to work.
At the same time, their faces were a little hot. After so many years outside, they had not made a good deal yet, and they were a little embarrassed to see their father.
Fang Ling held his wife's hand flexibly and said softly, "This month's single-time payment, Sister Lan has paid us in advance. In addition to tolls and gasoline fees, there are still 20,000 yuan left. By the way, my sister also sent 40,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan for us, and the other 30,000 yuan is for the family. After all, our father has many favors."
"It's enough to get home and explain. If our mother likes money, you can give more money and please." Ding Xingxing thought so.
The two discussed for a while, and the bus quickly broke through the dark night and drove to the new bus station.
The people in the car were boiling, and the people outside the car were also boiling, and they were extremely excited.
Because Fang and his parents came back early and avoided the peak period of the Spring Festival travel rush, they could go home so easily. They also didn't expect that it was because Fang Jiefang asked them to come back early, so that they avoided the ice disaster and avoided rushing on the road and suffering.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back." Fang Jiefang said calmly.
Fang Ning was carrying the remaining luggage, but fortunately it was not very heavy, so he could roll on the wheel. Facing his familiar parents, his nose was still sour and he shouted, "Mom and Dad!"
Ding Xingxing hugged Fang Ning and kissed him on the face, with tears in his eyes, "Grown up...grown up."
Fang Ling patted his shoulder flexibly, showed a gratifying expression, and said with a smile, "The body has grown stronger and will continue to grow. This family will depend on you to support you in the future!"
