Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 118
After returning from going to the countryside, life has been ordinary, and there is nothing to do. This is a normal way of going to school, after school, and tidying up the space in my free time.

At the end of April in the lunar calendar, Zhao Wenzhuo went out for a stroll early in the morning, and when he came back, he asked his family to pack up, because they needed to go back to their hometown.

"My hometown? Dad, didn't we just go back last year?" Zhao Feng asked suspiciously, didn't they used to go back to their hometown once every two years, and every time they went back to their hometown two days before Qingming, and went home to clean up for the elders. Tomb-sweeping or something, but this year's Qingming Festival has passed!

"Something happened this year. Your uncle's youngest son got married. We have to go back anyway." Although his eldest brother was not his own, he also gave him a bite of food after his parents passed away, so that he survived.

"Married? When did he say he got married? Why didn't I hear about it?" Zhang Guifang asked in surprise.

"I also just found out that my eldest brother asked someone to deliver a letter to us, but something happened to the person who delivered the letter. The letter just arrived in my hand today. I read the letter and found out that the third boy is getting married the day after tomorrow. " Zhao Wenzhuo said anxiously, they will get married the day after tomorrow, so they have to go back no matter what.

"Then what are you talking about, pack it up, pack it up, put everything there, I'll clean it up, go out and see if you can get a train ticket for today, we can't go back without a train ticket." Zhang Guifang He took over the work in his hand and urged him to buy the train tickets as soon as possible. The most urgent thing now is to buy the train tickets for the family as soon as possible.

"Okay, then tidy up at home, I'll go out and find a way to get two train tickets." After hearing what she said, Zhao Wenzhuo put on his coat and went out.

"My hometown, where is my uncle's hometown?" Zhang Yu asked curiously, why he had never heard of it.

Seeing that Zhao Wenzhuo was no longer in the room, Zhao Feng explained: "It's in Baoding, but you probably haven't been there. I stayed there for a while when my second child and I were young."

"Baoding?" Zhang Yu always felt that this place was a bit familiar, as if he had heard it from somewhere, and after a long time of stunned, he suddenly thought, didn't He Yuzhu's father go to Baoding with the White Widow in the TV series?

But he didn't expect his little uncle's hometown to be in Baoding, so he turned to Zhang Guifang curiously.Asked: "Little uncle's hometown is in Baoding, how did you meet my little sister?"

"This! It's a long story." Zhang Guifang said perfunctorily, still keeping packing the presents to take back. This wedding is a lifelong event, so it is necessary to give some congratulatory gifts.

"We don't mind the long story, you can also make it short, sister." Zhang Yu looked at his sister-in-law with bright eyes, and the children next to him also watched curiously.

"You children, what are you doing asking about these things?" Zhang Guifang couldn't help but blush when she thought of how she and my husband met.

"Mom, just tell us."

"That's right, tell me, sister."

"You guys!" Zhang Guifang nodded their heads with her hand, and then said, "Your father! It was not easy for him to come to Beijing back then. Your grandparents left early, leaving only your father, who was still from the same village in the end. Brother Zhao gave him a bite to eat, and he grew up slowly. That year, the times were not good everywhere, so in order to survive, your father left home and followed others to the capital."

"After that, after that, you haven't said how you and dad met?" Seeing that Zhang Guifang stopped talking halfway, Zhao Xiaoping, who was chatting beside her, pulled her mother's customer service and shook it vigorously, wanting to know what's next things.

"After that, after that, it will be like this now. It's alright, alright, let's clean up quickly. This time, while you are free for the past two days, let's go together." Zhang Guifang looked into her daughter's bright eyes, Quickly change the subject.

After a while, he came in from the outside in a hurry, and shouted: "Is there any cold water at home?"

"Yes, yes, dad, I have good cold water here." Zhao Xiaoping hurriedly handed over the porcelain jar on the table.

Zhao Wenzhuo picked up the porcelain jar and drank it down in one gulp, "gudong", "gudong" and "gudong", and then let out a long sigh of relief, "I'm thirsty to death."

"Where have you been, you are so thirsty."

"Isn't this trying to find a way to buy a ticket? I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance before arriving at the train station, that is the old Liu who drove the textile factory, you know?"

"I know, what happened to him?"

"He is going to drive to Baoding at noon today to get some raw materials, and he happened to meet me, and he said he would help us take them there later."

"That's a good relationship, and I don't need to buy train tickets anymore." The whole family was pleasantly surprised that they could get a ride.

After saying this, Zhao Wenzhuo turned his head to look at Zhang Yu again, "Xiaoyu, I remember that you don't have classes these two days, so go with us."

"May I go?" Zhang Yu said hesitantly, after all, he had never been to his little uncle's hometown.

"What's wrong? You were not in good health before. You were sick on the way, so you were allowed to go. Now that you are in good health, and there is nothing to do these two days, I have to go to see my little uncle's hometown. "

"Yes, Xiaoyu, go with us. You don't know that there are many mountains and interesting things in your hometown. I will take you for a stroll when you arrive, and you will know."

"Okay, then I'll go and pack something."

"Go, go, go."

After packing up their things, they hurried to the gate of the textile factory, just as the friend of the little uncle was already waiting at the gate.

Seeing them hurriedly waved their hands out of the car and shouted loudly: "Old Zhao, I am here, I am here."

"Brother Liu, I will trouble you this time." After they got into the car, Zhao Wenzhuo took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to him.

He was not polite either, took the cigarette over and waved his hand, "What's the matter, besides, I didn't give it to you specially, didn't I happen to be in time?"

Zhang Yu was not listening to the chat between the two of them, but instead looked at the car. Compared with the car he was riding in when he was working, this car was relatively new.

It's just because there are only two seats in the front of trucks in this era, and there is no bed in the back of the truck, and Zhang Guifang and Zhao Xiaoping don't want to squeeze with others, so except for the little uncle who is talking with friends in front, everyone else Went to the back compartment.

Fortunately, when packing things, Zhang Guifang thought that she would not be able to do it ahead, so she took two sacks and a quilt from home, spread the sacks on the ground, and put the bundles of clothes on top of the sacks, The person sat up and covered the quilt horizontally.
