The journey of the heavens by Jia Huan, the salted fish

Chapter 82
“It is so convenient to have the train!”

Jia Erzi sighed.

I think he came to the port city from his hometown, but he walked for two months.

Excluding the time wasted by going astray and various accidents during the period, it would take a month to walk from my hometown to the port city.

Where is it like now, it takes three days and two nights to reach the city where my hometown is located.

The family got off the train.

The initial excitement was gone, and exhaustion was all over my body.

In order to save money, Jia Erzi did not buy a sleeper box, but took a hard seat.

After sitting like this for three days and two nights, I couldn't sleep comfortably, and I can imagine the exhaustion.

But Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni couldn't help being refreshed by the familiar scenery of their hometown, especially after hearing the accent that they hadn't heard for a long time.

"Wait here while I hire a carriage."

Jia Erzi put the suitcase on the ground and walked in a certain direction.

After about a quarter of an hour, Jia Erzi rode on the edge of the carriage and came in front of the crowd: "Get in the carriage."

Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun climbed into the carriage first.

After Qu Feng loaded the suitcase onto the carriage, he was the last one to get on the carriage.

"Brother, let's go."

Jia Erzi said to the driver of the carriage.

"Okay." The coachman raised his whip and drove the horse to a trot.

The hometowns of Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni are still quite a distance from the city. In the relatively remote countryside, it takes a day to travel by horse-drawn carriage.

Different from several children, although Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni were also very tired, they were extremely excited.

The two chatted with the coachman in their accents, and asked about things in their hometown from the coachman.

After the famine, most of the survivors returned to their hometowns.

Twenty years have passed, and everyone has forgotten that disaster.

These years, the weather in my hometown has been smooth, and everyone's life is pretty good, at least no one died of starvation.

Foreigners and rich people opened some factories and gave many people jobs.

Even though the work in the factory is very hard, at least the monthly salary is fixed, which is better than that of farmers who depend on the sky to eat.

Barabara the coachman talked a lot.

The couple listened with gusto.

Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni bought a lot of local delicacies in the city as dry food for the road.

The flavors are quite different from the food in the port cities, but equally delicious.

Jia Huan and his two elder brothers ate with gusto, but Jia Qiuju, Qufeng and Jia Dongmei were used to the taste of the north, and some were not used to the taste of the south.

Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni ate very contentedly.

These are what they wanted to eat when they were young, but they couldn't afford it because they had no money.

Now that they have money and can afford it, they just feel that the taste is exactly as they expected.

The coachman couldn't help laughing at the performance of the couple.

They can also return to their hometown, which is much better than those whose souls are outside.

The coachman was also the one who escaped back then.

Of the family, only he survived.

When I returned to my hometown a few years later, I behaved just like this family.

Oh, still different.

At least he doesn't have the money to eat these delicacies.

This family seems to be doing well outside.

Look at the clothes they wear, how bright they are.

Looking at the three children, they were able to speak out in a word, and they were scholars at first glance.

The coachman envied Jia Erzi and his wife's luck, and became more enthusiastic towards them.

As the carriage moved, more and more familiar scenes appeared in his eyes.

Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni watched all this greedily.

Twenty years have passed, and the hometown has not changed much. Many familiar buildings are still there. They can tell the purpose of those buildings and who lives there.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village.

Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni looked at the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village and said nothing for a long time.

This big banyan tree is hundreds of years old. Even after the disaster, it is still alive, which shows its vitality.

Some people sat under the big banyan tree, resting and chatting.

There are men and women, old and young.

Seeing the carriage coming to the village, these people stared at this side in surprise.

No one in the village could afford a horse-drawn cart, even the landlord's family, all of whom rode in an ox cart.

Now there is a carriage coming to their village, and I don't know what kind of big man it is.

Seeing the faces of Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni, some older people couldn't help crying out in surprise.

"These two are so damn similar to Boss Jia and San Jia."

"Indeed, it is indeed very similar to Aunt Jia San, can't she be Aunt Jia San's niece?"

"Hey, Boss Jia, take a look at that man, does he look like you?"

"Aunt Jia, look quickly, is your relative coming to see you?"

Following the chatter of the crowd, two old men and women who appeared to be in their fifties or sixties came out and looked at Jia Erzi's family.

After seeing the faces of Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni clearly, they couldn't help but startled, and then they cried out.

"Second son? Is it you? Second son?"

"Chunni? Is that you?"

Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni looked at the two suspiciously, and quickly found out the familiarity from the aging faces of the two.

"Big brother?!"

"Miss?!"

The four pounce on each other.

Everyone: "..."

The Jia family: "..."

Jia Dongmei: "Then they are uncle and aunt? I thought it was grandpa and grandma."

Jia Mancang and Jia Mantun nodded again and again.

Jia Qiuju and Qu Feng also feel sympathetic.

Jia Huan sighed in his heart.

This is the oppression of life!
For example, Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni from more than a year ago, because of poverty and fatigue, their faces also did not match their ages, and they looked much older.

That is to say, during this year, the two of them ate well and were not so tired, their spirits relaxed, and their appearance gradually returned to their original age.

Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni finished their old relationship with their brothers and sisters, and immediately called the children to meet their elders.

Seeing a few juniors who are completely different from the children in the village, like the young masters and ladies in the city, both of them are a little cautious, not knowing how to treat Jia Huan and others.

Jia Huan and the others called people very politely, and they didn't look down on them because of their shabby clothes.

After all, over the years, so have they.

Boss Jia and Zhang Xiatao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

All the people in the village gathered around and asked Boss Jia and Zhang Xiatao for news.

The two proudly introduced the identities of Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni to the villagers.

The villagers were surprised to hear that the two seemingly urban bosses were Boss Jia's younger brother and Zhang Xiatao's younger sister.

Some people remembered who Jia Erzi and Zhang Chunni were, but they all thought they were dead long ago.

Unexpectedly, he was still alive and returned to his hometown in a happy manner.

It seems that they are doing well outside!
"Second brother, come home with me!"

Boss Jia pulled his younger brother away excitedly.
