Chapter 169
Yu Haisheng's injuries hadn't completely healed, so they didn't bring much luggage when they returned to their hometown.
When they arrived in Lizhibao Town, Du Rong bought some fried melon seeds, fried peanuts, and some candy snacks in the town.
These snacks are prepared to entertain guests. The whole family will go to the capital this year, and the villagers will definitely visit her house after returning.
"Mom, only the navy is at home, so I don't think there's anything to eat right now. Let's buy some meat and vegetables to take home. We'll have to buy two quilts later. I'm afraid there won't be enough at home." Lin Xiang reminded.
After Yu Haisheng was injured, Yu Jianhui let Yu Haijun live in the school, and he went to the capital to see Yu Haisheng.
Yu Haijun should also be on winter vacation, but Lin Xiang didn't dare to hope that Yu Haijun, a brat, could take care of the house.
"Okay, let's order some new quilts now." Du Rong said.
It took a while to buy things in the town, and it was already noon when the Yu family rented a tractor and returned to the village.
As soon as the family entered the village, someone greeted them.
"Jianhui, you guys are back for the New Year." As soon as Grandma Zhang came out of the alley, her eyes lit up when she saw the whole family of Yu's family coming back with big bags.
She quickly looked back and forth among everyone's luggage, wanting to see what good things the Yu family brought back.
"I'm back." Yu Jianhui replied perfunctorily.
After taking the train all the way back from the capital, Yu Jianhui was exhausted, and now he just wanted to go home and rest.
It's a pity that Grandma Zhang didn't want to release him immediately.
"Jianhui, you can earn money in the capital. This year, several young people in the village went to work in Qingshan City. I heard that they can earn 50 yuan a month." Grandma Zhang said.
"The wages of workers in the city are only tens of yuan a month, but we can earn more than [-] yuan by going to work in the village."
"It's all about hard work. It's not easy to earn 50 yuan."
Du Rong was holding Yu Haiqiu in her hands, and she was carrying a big bag on her back. She only felt that her arm was about to break, and she was still willing to talk to Grandma Zhang.
"Aunt Zhang, we won't chat with you as soon as we come back, let's come back and play at home." Du Rong didn't wait for Grandma Zhang to speak, and walked home with the whole family.
Grandma Zhang curled her lips when she saw the Yu family hastily leaving. Yu Xiaoyue and Lin Xiang both had to go to college in the capital, and there was Yu Haijun who was in the third year of high school at home. It was a lot of money to provide three people to go to school every month. s expenses.
Coupled with the fact that the clothes worn by the Yu family were really not good, Grandma Zhang made up her own mind, thinking that the Yu family did not do well in the capital and did not make any money.
But she didn't know that the reason why Yu's family dressed in ordinary clothes was because they were afraid of being targeted by thieves on the train.
There are quite a few thieves on the train now, if something is missing, it is not bad enough.
"Father, mother, you are back." Yu Haijun was chopping firewood at home, when he looked up, he saw Yu Haisheng enter the door.
"The navy is good, and he knows how to chop firewood." Seeing the fire in the stove, Yu Haisheng knew that they should not have to worry about cleaning up the house today.
"Brother, I'm already in my third year of high school, and I still have the ability to take care of my family." Yu Haijun said proudly.
It's a pity that Yu Haijun is a boy after all, so how good it would be for him to clean up the house.
In the end, it was Du Rong, Yu Xiaoyue and Lin Xiang who cleaned up together.
Everyone was busy, and the neighbors who were acquainted with Yu's family came to talk when they heard the news of Yu's return, even the village secretary came.
The house is a mess, so everyone can only sit in the main room and talk.
What everyone cares about is nothing more than what the outside world is like now.
How about making money in big cities outside?
Yu Jianhui only said that Yu Haisheng opened a clothing store in Beijing to sell clothes in order to provide for his children to study.
He also said that the outside world is still not very stable. When Yu Haisheng took people south to buy goods, he encountered robbers several times, and now the injuries on his body were beaten by robbers.
At the beginning, the villagers heard that it was easy to make money outside, and they thought about going out for a bit, but after hearing that Yu Haisheng was robbed while buying goods, they all gave up their thoughts.
"It's not easy for Haisheng to make money." Someone sighed.
"Actually, it's not that scary. If you only go to the city to find a job and don't go south, the chance of encountering robbers is still very low." Yu Haisheng explained.
Compared with Qingshan City in the south, the law and order here is still very good.
In fact, when Yu Haisheng returned to his hometown this time, he also wanted to bring some people out of the village. Their Beishan Village is really too poor. If they only rely on the little output from the field, the villagers may still be like this in 20 years.
But at the moment it is not suitable to blatantly organize the villagers to go out to work. He can only discuss this matter with people he knows in private.
The main room was full of people, Lin Xiang and Yu Xiaoyue did not participate, and when the Yu family was almost cleaned up, the two went to Lin Xiang and Yu Haisheng's house to clean up together.
Over there, the new house was tidied up very quickly. After a little dusting, a large pot of water was boiled in the stove, which could not only warm the kang, but also remove the moisture in the house.
"Sister-in-law, are you hungry?" Yu Xiaoyue asked.
"It's okay, are you hungry? Why don't you cook something here, those people in our family don't know when they will leave."
The people in the village were so curious about the outside world, Lin Xiang thought that Yu Haisheng and Yu Jianhui would have to talk for a long time before they could leave.
"Okay, let's eat rice at noon today, let's make a make of stewed cabbage first." Lin Xiang said.
After driving for such a long time, everyone is really tired. Now Lin Xiang really wants to eat quickly and sleep on the warm kang.
"Okay, I see several Chinese cabbages under the eaves of the Navy house, I'll go and get them."
Lin Xiang is quick-witted. She first put the rice in a pot and steamed it for a quarter of an hour.
Another large piece of pork belly was cut and fried together with cabbage in the pot, and then enough water was added. When the cabbage was stewed, the rice was put on it and continued to steam.
In this way, it takes less than an hour to eat delicious pork belly stewed cabbage.
On the other side, Yu Jianhui's stomach was growling from hunger, and everyone kept asking questions.
He really couldn't take it anymore, so he let the crowd go away, saying that his family had been on the train for a long time back from the capital, then changed cars, and changed tractors.
Some people felt that Yu Jianhui should take a good rest because of his fatigue, but some people felt that Yu Jianhui was making money outside and started to put on airs. He was not happy when people who knew him came to talk to him.
Everyone dispersed, leaving only the main room shrouded in clouds and mist, and the smell of dry smoke would not go away for a while.
Everyone can only go to Yu Haisheng's house for lunch.
"Tomorrow we'll go to town earlier to buy some New Year's meat and winter vegetables, and our family doesn't have any," Du Rong said.
Du Rong wanted to order half a pig in the town. With so much meat, it would definitely be the first to be put in the village.
In fact, the village will kill a few pigs during Chinese New Year, and the price will be cheaper than that in the town.
But the slaughtering pigs in the village will divide the pork according to the work points of the year, and the Yu family is out all year, so the killing of the pigs in the village is naturally nothing to their family.
After lunch, Lin Xiang lay down on the kang without washing the dishes.
"It's not easy to come back this time. I feel like my waist is going to break." Lin Xiang muttered while lying on the bed.
Yu Haisheng saw Lin Xiang curled up in the quilt like a kitten, he lifted the quilt and got in too.
"What are you doing?"
"I'll sleep with you for a while, our house only has this thick quilt." Yu Hai said naturally.
It was only at this time that Lin Xiang discovered that when Du Rong was buying a quilt, she only bought one bed for her.
The quilts used at home are still in the box and have not been dried.
Lin Xiang struggled for a while, whether to get up now to dry the quilt, or to share a bed with Yu Haisheng, and finally Lin Xiang chose the latter.
Anyway, Yu Haisheng's injuries haven't fully healed yet, so he can't do much.
Lin Xiang leaned against Yu Haisheng and fell asleep peacefully, but she didn't know that Yu Haisheng didn't feel sleepy at all at the moment, just leaning on the kang, looking at Lin Xiang silently.
His daughter-in-law seems to be getting more and more beautiful, no matter how much she looks at her, she can't get enough of her.
