Chapter 191 190 Arriving Home

Visiting relatives is a relatively euphemistic term. Everyone knows exactly what is going on. This situation also occurs in the four or nine cities. There are about 60,000 people visiting relatives. These people are the key targets for mobilization to the countryside.

Pulled by a mule cart, it soon arrived at the workers' residential area.

The residential area must be the size of a small village, with rows of bungalows. Some courtyard walls are made of adobe, and some are fences made of tree branches. Regardless of the material, they all have one thing in common: short.

Beware of gentlemen, not villains.

"Old lady, our eldest nephew is here!" Tang Wenbang parked the mule cart at the entrance of a small courtyard on the east side of the employee residential area, and shouted inside at the top of his voice.

Tang Zhitong got out of the car and stretched his legs. He heard the barking of dogs in the yard. There was more than one dog. It didn't come out, so it must be tied up.

Tang Zhitong wanted to help fight against the things, but Tang Gang and Su Nianbin refused, so he followed him into the courtyard empty-handed.

Stepping into the courtyard gate, Tang Zhitong looked at the house in front of him. It had five main rooms and two side rooms, which was larger than his own home.

The yard is neatly kept, and there are several houses made of logs. Judging from the weather, they should be the earliest employee houses.

"Shut up!" Tang Wenbang pointed at the two tied local dogs with his whip, and the world immediately became peaceful.

"Eucalyptus, right? Your uncle received the telegram yesterday and was so happy that he didn't sleep all night. He was looking forward to having you here." A gray-haired woman walked out of the main room quickly, her hands still stained with blood. flour.

"Hello, aunt!" Upon hearing this, Tang Zhitong called directly without any introduction.

"Hey! Good boy, come in and sit down quickly." Tang Wenbang's wife looked at her hands and couldn't help him, so she could only gesture enthusiastically to get out of the way.

"Dad, give me the whip and I'll take the mule cart back." Tang Gang put the sack into the house and said to Tang Wenbang.

"Well, hold me and walk slowly." Tang Wenbang handed the whip to his son, then directed his sister to make tea and pour water, and then he pulled Tang Zhitong to sit on the edge of the Kang.

The heated kang is a characteristic of the Northeast, allowing you to have a warm sleep in winter. This thing is also used in Sijiucheng, but the scale is smaller and is only used for sleeping. The fire kang in the northeast is also used for eating.

"When you go out to make dumplings and make noodles, your uncle went out in the morning and told you to make noodles for you. You guys chat first, and I'll make the noodles." Seeing that he couldn't help, Tang Wenbang's wife simply went back to continue making noodles.

"Auntie, you can eat whatever you have at home. Don't spend any money." On the way here, Tang Zhitong could hear Tang Wenbang saying that he was so rich that he couldn't bear to let his uncle and his family take care of themselves.

"You sit and chat with your uncle and sister-in-law. Don't worry about food. You can eat whatever I do." Tang Wenbang's wife said in a "I have the final say" tone, not allowing Tang Zhitong to refute.

"Sit down, gentlemen, don't worry about the stove." Tang Ting made a pot of tea and brought it over.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Sister, take a seat." Facing his elders, Tang Zhitong had no right to speak and could only follow the arrangements.

"Don't worry about the wood. I'll take you there tomorrow. Have a good rest today." Tang Wenbang said and reached out to touch the teapot.

"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangements." Tang Zhitong had quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed the lead. How could he let his elders pour it for him?

Tang Zhitong took the tea cup from the Kang table and poured five cups.

"Nian Bin, I'll bring you a bowl of tea for you, I didn't pay any attention to the price." Tang Ting saw that Tang Zhitong was about to get up to serve the tea, so she immediately held him down and instructed her son.

"Nian Bin, bring the sack with you." If there is free labor, use it as soon as possible. Tang Zhitong doesn't want his uncle to spend money. There is a rabbit in the sack, so he takes it out and eats it. As for the gift, we will talk about it later.

"Euclidean, are everything okay at home?" Tang Wenbang asked as he took a sip of tea without drinking water all the way. “It’s all good.”

"You did a good job as a courier before and your job was decent. Why did you suddenly change your job?" Tang Wenbang asked with concern.

"I have a friend who is in the army. He encountered some problems years ago. I made a gadget to help solve it. The friend said he would give me a merit review. The escort is under dual leadership, so it is easy to operate." Tang Zhitong generally said Tell Tang Wenbang what happened.

"Oh? Are you appraising the merit?" When Tang Wenbang heard this, he didn't care what gadget his nephew made, he only cared about whether he got the credit.

"Evaluated, second-class merit. The salary has been increased by two levels. It is estimated that he will be trained to go to university in a while." Tang Zhitong grinned and reported the good news to Tang Wenbang and Tang Ting. Regarding merit, Tang Zhitong believed that besides marrying classmate Xiao Wang, he could enjoy a lifetime of glory.

"Oh! That's great. It will give face to our old Tang family!" Tang Wenbang was overjoyed after hearing this. He slapped his thigh with both hands and made a "pop" sound. Tang Zhitong felt pain when he heard it.

"Hey, what a coincidence." Tang Zhitong said modestly.

"It doesn't matter if it's a coincidence or not, as long as it's yours." Tang Ting was also very happy and answered.

"Brother, sack." Su Nianbin brought the sack in from the outer room and squatted on the fire bed.

"Take out the things, it's too hot to hold back, so I'll eat them tonight." Tang Zhitong sat on the inside of the fire kang, with Tang Ting across from him. It was inconvenient to reach out, so he could only speak and continue to instruct Su Nianbin.

"Okay!" When Su Nianbin heard that there was food, he felt more energetic, untied the sack and took it out.

"You kid, why did you bring anything here?" Tang Ting patted Tang Zhitong's shoulder with a reproachful tone.

"Nothing good. I brought a few rabbits raised at home." Tang Zhitong kept the things small and said that he raised rabbits at home, which Tang Wenbang knew.

"Brother, there are apples and pears!" Su Nianbin dug out and shouted in surprise.

"Well, let's wash two and eat them." Apples and pears are not fruits in this season. From Su Nianbin's expression, Tang Zhitong could tell that Anton might not be able to buy these two at this time.

"You kid, how much does this cost?" Tang Ting said distressedly.

"It's not much money, so feel free to eat." Tang Zhitong grinned.

"Eucalyptus, are you planning to give it away?" Tang Wenbang took out his pipe, dug out a pot of shredded tobacco, and asked.

"I had this plan before I got in the car. My sister-in-law said that you can talk easily, so I saved it." Tang Zhitong said bluntly.

"That really saves money. Your uncle works as a custodian at the forest farm and is in charge of the wood." Tang Ting revealed the mystery to her eldest nephew.

"It's not me who has the final say. Keep the rest. I'll take you to see someone tomorrow. These things are rare, so it's just a good idea to give them away." Tang Wenbang was mature and didn't eat alone. Things are done more securely.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Tang Zhitong felt at ease and happily accepted his uncle's suggestion.

"You and me, let's chat for now. I'll go home and catch the goose." Tang Ting was not stingy. She said on the way that she would stew a goose for her nephew, and she kept thinking about it when she came back.
