The fog that I woke up in the morning was really heavy, and I couldn't see how far I walked on the road. From the time I got up to now, there was no passing car on the highway in the village. Even the shuttle bus that left for the county town at around 7 o'clock every day did not seem to come in today.

Wu Fei had just walked out less than fifty meters and felt that his hair was wet, so he hurriedly put on the hat on his clothes.

Fortunately, Zhou Bin's home is not far away. Wu Fei's home is on this end of the reservoir embankment, and Zhou Bin's home is on the other end of the reservoir embankment. After leaving the house, he passed a reservoir embankment and almost arrived.

Wu Fei walked to Zhou Bin's door and saw Zhou Bin's mother washing things in the pool in front of the house. Wu Fei shouted: "Aunt Xiaohui, have you had breakfast? When did you come back?"

Zhou Xiaohui, who was washing things, saw that it was Wu Fei and said, "It's being done, and it's going to be done soon. Xiaofei, wait until you can drink here later."

"Go to the house to roast the fire, and the food is ready soon."

Wu Fei said, "Thank you, Aunt Xiaohui. I just came over after dinner. My dad said that you borrow a rake from your house and clear the cow pen later."

Zhou Bin’s mother’s name is Zhou Xiaohui, and she is the same surname as Zhou Bin. In fact, although they both believe in Zhou, they are not from the same village. Zhou Xiaohui’s mother’s house is more than ten miles away from Wu Fei’s village.

"Then you go and get it yourself. The rake is placed on the pigpen house. You will see wherever you go. Last time, it was the handle that your father helped nail. I said that our house was useless anyway, so I just put it there. Your father brought the rake over again."

Zhou Xiaohui said: "I heard that you have been back for several months and don't plan to sell your house anymore. Do you really plan to raise fish at home?"

"Yes, the houses outside are not easy to sell now, so I'd just go to the house to raise fish and grow vegetables. This thing can't be lost anyway. You're at home and you're always a little more comfortable than outside."

Wu Fei said to Zhou Xiaohui: "Have Zhou Bin also returned?"

"We're all back, but we went out to play cards every night as soon as we came back. I didn't know when we played cards at Ermeng's house last night. We haven't gotten up yet. Xiaofei, you are good at learning, and you don't smoke or play cards."

Wu Fei smiled and said, "There is nothing to do when you come back now. What can you do if you don't let him play cards? Otherwise, you will ask Zhou Bin to dig a piece of land to grow vegetables."

Like Zhou Bin and others, they can’t stay at home for a long time all year round, and they stay at home for a regular period every year, which is just one month before and after the New Year. At other times, unless there is nothing to do on the construction site, they will go home for a while. When there is a living on the construction site, they will have to go to the construction site immediately.

In this way, it will be difficult for the family to grow anything. If the crops planted in the field are not cared about for three to five days and a week, it may not matter much.

But if you don’t take care of things regularly for ten or half a month, it’s better not to plant them, wasting seeds and fertilizers. So Zhou Bin didn’t plant anything at home. When he came back from the Chinese New Year, he had to buy rice to eat.

But this year is one month away from the Chinese New Year. In previous years, those working on construction sites in the village usually have to wait about half a month before the Chinese New Year to come back, but this year it was much earlier.

"Aunt Xiaohui, is there a lot of work on the construction site now? Why did you come back so early this year? You have to wait until the New Year before you go out when you come back?"

Now it’s only a few days before the New Year, so if you want to go out, you’ll be a little hurry.

"The construction site we were working on was completed just a few days ago, and the other construction site will not be moved after the New Year, so we came back after we settled the bill."

Zhou Xiaohui said: "But next year I don't plan to go out, so I will take my children at home and grow some more vegetables. Otherwise, when I come back for the New Year every year, I will always eat your food, and she doesn't want to give your mother money."

Zhou Bin’s father and Wu Bang have a good relationship. When his father was there, the two of them often drank together. Whenever they were fine, they would warm a pot of homemade rice wine and stir-fry a side dish or two, and they could drink and chat for the afternoon.

Since Zhou Bin's father passed away, Wu Bang has also found that there is a liver problem and has rarely drunk alcohol since then.

Because the two families have a good relationship, Wu Fei and Zhou Bin and his siblings had a good time when they were young. As soon as the holiday was on, Zhou Bin and his siblings always liked to run to Wu Fei's house and often followed Wu Fei's butt.

However, after Wu Fei went out to work, everyone had few opportunities to meet. Usually, Wu Fei is not a person who likes to call and send messages, so naturally there are few contacts. Only after everyone comes back during the Chinese New Year can they meet several times.

Because their family is outside all year round and there is no vegetable plant in the field, every year when their family comes back for the New Year, Wu Fei's family always brings a lot of vegetables such as radish and cabbage for them.

As long as it is planted in Wu Fei and his friends, they will usually give Zhou Bin and others some. If they are too busy, they will ask Zhou Bin and his friends to go to the field to pick up their own dishes.

Wu Fei soon found a rake on the pigpen house. It was useless for a long time. The rake was already rusty and even the handle was loose.

"Aunt Xiaohui, I'll take the rake first. I'll send it back to you after I'm using it later."

Wu Fei carried the rake and was about to go back and clear the cow pen with his father first. After the sun came out, there was still a lot of things to be done in the vegetable field.

Not long after Wu Fei left, Zhou Bin got up and said to Zhou Xiaohui: "Mom, did Wu Fei come here just now? I seemed to hear his voice in the room."

"I've got up until I slept until now. Just now, Wu Fei came to borrow a rake and went back to clean the cow pen. After dinner, go to your Uncle Bang's house to see if you can help. If you don't know if you go to the front all day long as you come back, you can do it."

Zhou Xiaohui said: "I heard that Wu Fei is not going to raise fish and grow vegetables at home now, so he has specially hired several people to help grow vegetables. If the construction site is not busy next year, do you see if Wu Fei's family wants to help? When there is nothing to do on the construction site, you can come back and help Wu Fei."

"You also said you wanted me to take care of your children at home next year. You and your wife would come back when they were fine on the construction site. Anyway, you would get home after riding a motorcycle for a little over a day. When you have nothing to do on the construction site, you would have to eat your own capital. It would be better to come back. If I am at home, feed some chickens and ducks and grow some vegetables. Some of you will eat when you come back. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to eat lunch from others often."
