Zhao Tian nodded, "I also know, Yuanyuan has also arranged for the farm to grow medicinal materials."
"Will you still work next year?"
Zhao Tian nodded, "Go to work. I haven't done any work this year. I won't do it if I don't feel comfortable. It's still the same as before, so I'll find some easy work."
He did not say that his wife was exhausted, so that Qingjie would not be able to hold his head up in the village in the future. The old woman was already dead, so it was better to keep her son alive.
"Okay, you can figure it out on your own, life will get through anyway.
Qingjie went to work in the cement factory, so you and his wife stayed in the village? Where would you get food if you didn't work?"
"Yeah, I know. I'll do it when I get back. Even if I'm exhausted, I'll die at home."
"What are you talking about? What kind of work can exhaust you to death?"
Zhao Tian sighed, "If you want to make more money on the farm, you have to work more. I have never been tired of working before, but after several years on the farm, I finally know what it means to be tired."
"It's better to be tired and earn some money."
"I thought so too. So I was really desperate at that time."
If he hadn't worked so hard, the old lady wouldn't have left him so early.
It's going to be different when you come back. It's very uncomfortable for someone who has been working for a lifetime to be left alone. You won't be afraid when you return home.
Zhao Qingjie came for the second time, and this time Zhao Tian followed him and returned with the salute on his back.
Zhiping used to sit and light the fire when he was young. It felt like the temperature inside the room was lower than outside, but they were used to the temperature in Jiangbei, so they didn't feel that cold when they got here.
Qi Xuemei started to pack her luggage. She didn't know how long she would stay here, at least a few months, so all the gifts were opened.
Zhao Qingjie went out to buy food. He would definitely not be able to survive without food.
This matter still needs to be brought to the attention of the village chief.
Meng Xiangtian also forgot about this, "Then just buy it directly from the brigade. You go home and get your pocket, and I'll call the accountant."
Zhao Qingjie pushed the cart home again, holding five or six bags. He wanted to buy more, so as to save himself from going back and forth to buy.
In the evening, the family had their first meal back. There was really nothing, but luckily they provided pots and pans.
Qi Xuemei was obviously very tired at night, but she just couldn't sleep. She had no sense of belonging here.
Looking at her husband sleeping soundly beside her, she didn't know what to say. Forget it, it was useless to say anything now.
The next day, the father and son went to find someone, although they had not been back for ten years. After all, they grew up here.
The Zhao family also has an ancestral grave. An Lixia is going to be buried there. It's already freezing, but it's still okay to just dig the grave.
Zhao Qingjie went to buy a coffin for his mother. This is not difficult in the countryside now.
Zhao Tian wanted to find a trumpeter, and everyone who was close to him persuaded him. "Zhao Tian, don't talk about us. Even after Hong Wen died, that girl Su Yuanyuan sent a secretary over. Even the city leaders came, too.
Just blowing the trumpet for a long time.
We ordinary people really can't do it. If we don't do it right, we will be arrested.
You have already brought your wife back and buried her in the ancestral grave. You don’t need to think too much about anything else. This way you will be worthy of her."
Zhao Tian sighed, it was the same everywhere.
So in the afternoon, An Lixia was buried.
Zhao Qingjie expressed his gratitude to the people who came to help, "We just came back and have not prepared anything. We will treat everyone to dinner later."
Everyone can understand. He came to help because he had a good relationship with the Zhao family in the past. However, neither of the two sons of the eldest Zhao family came here.
Zhao Tian had long been heartbroken. He didn't feel any discomfort at all. He just pretended that he no longer had this family.
Zhao Qingjie made all arrangements and went to the county seat three days later. The procedures for his family's return have not yet been completed.
This is simple. If you put it on the farm, it will be received here.
The family's household registration was restored, and he went to the police station to settle in. Then he went to the post office and called the phone number.
The leader of Secretary Bai's classmate in the city received a call and asked him to go directly to the cement factory to report. He called there.
"Boss, can you arrange a job for my wife?" Zhao Qingjie asked anyway.
"Is your wife literate?"
"I don't know much about literacy." That's the name of a few of them.
"Then there will be no easy jobs. Go to the match factory. Tell me its name. You can also report directly."
Zhao Qingjie didn't expect such a result, and he was grateful for it. To be honest, he just wanted to open his mouth and make a profit, but it actually happened.
"Boss, we and I will report tomorrow."
"Okay, do your best and don't embarrass Minister Su."
"Yes, yes, definitely, thank you, leader."
After Zhao Qingjie put down the phone, he was extremely excited, so that the three of them could come to live in the county town, and they were all officially employed.
He went home happily, "Xuemei, I have arranged a job for you. You go to work in the match factory in the county town."
Qi Xuemei was originally low on energy. After hearing this, she looked at Zhao Qingjie excitedly, "Really?"
"Yeah, I called my boss. After my job was settled, I asked casually, but I didn't expect that he agreed."
Qi Xuemei was happy now. "That's great. When can we go to work?"
"Tomorrow, follow me early tomorrow to report, and then I will take you to the match factory to report."
"Have you eaten?" Now I am in the mood to serve the man.
"No, I'm not hungry. Let's eat together in the evening."
In the evening, Qi Xuemei made pancakes and stewed sauerkraut, a dish sent to her by the villagers who have a good relationship with the Zhao family.
Zhao Tian heard that both of them had jobs, but didn't say anything.
Now that I'm back, I know that my body has been fine for the past few years. It doesn't matter if they aren't around.
"Do your best."
"Dad, let's go to the county town tomorrow to find out if we can buy a house. Let's live in the county town. This way Zhiping can go to school."
Zhao Tian shook his head, "You and your family can go over, and I will earn cents in the village. You can buy the house by yourself. I will save my money to build a house in the spring."
Zhao Qingjie's face stiffened. He only had thirteen hundred yuan in his hand. He thought that his father would pay for the house in the county town, but he didn't expect to tell him directly and let him spend the money himself.
Zhao Tian also saw his son's expression, but pretended not to see it, and continued, "If you want to buy a house, just look for Zhiqiang at the cement factory. She has lived in the county town for a long time. It should be easier than it is for you to find her."
"
"Well, I understand. I will ask Brother Zhiqiang after the report tomorrow."
Qi Xuemei knew what her husband meant and wanted her father-in-law to buy a house. She didn't think so. She didn't want to live with her father-in-law.
