Chapter 1382 Returning to Liujiatun, the current situation of the second brother
"'Staying for a long time makes you despicable, and frequent visits make you feel distant'..."
Ma Suqin murmured the man's advice several times, and she mentally agreed with it, but emotionally it was hard to let go.
She no longer has her parents, and has lost contact with her two brothers. Over the years, her emotional sustenance and reliance have been the folks in Liujiatun.
If she didn't go back to Liujiatun, she really couldn't remember where to go.
Su Mingzhe regained his strength. Seeing that the woman was still struggling, he patted her gently and signaled her not to think too much:
"In the future, we will definitely settle in Beijing or Jinling. The holidays throughout the year may only be a few days. If you contact your brother again, we will definitely have to move around frequently. When the time comes, where will there be such a thing? It’s time to return to Liujiatun!”
"But I don't even know where my eldest brother and second brother are. I haven't been in contact with them for several years!"
Speaking of her missing eldest brother and second brother, Ma Suqin began to feel a little worried. After all, these are real relatives.
Su Mingzhe reminded:
"Don't you have their addresses when they were educated youth?"
Ma Suqin's face turned slightly bitter:
"But, I only have the county address. According to this address, I wrote several letters, but they were all returned!"
"If we can't find the person we wrote to, we can go directly to them. The Educated Youth Office of their county will always have a record!"
After hearing the man's solution, Ma Suqin's heart suddenly rose with hope.
the next day.
The two got up and had breakfast, and Ma Suqin went back to the dormitory to pack her luggage.
Su Mingzhe first went to buy a train ticket back to Tieling the next day, and then purchased two large bags of daily necessities to take back to Liujiatun as gifts.
The gifts are all soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, lighters, tobacco and other daily necessities.
Distributed to each household, the price is about ten yuan.
Although these things are not rare items, the folks in Liujiatun would definitely not be willing to buy them.
After all, if you work hard for a year, you may not be able to earn dozens of dollars.
After packing her luggage, Ma Suqin returned to the guest house and was dumbfounded when she saw the two large packages of gifts bought by the man:
"Mingzhe, are we going to take so many things back?"
"Not many. There are more than thirty households, and each household only has a little something."
Su Mingzhe explained his plan.
As the saying goes: courtesy comes and affection comes!
If the two of them returned to Liujiatun without bringing any gifts, the fellow villagers in Liujiatun would not say anything, but their relationship would be just like saying hello to ordinary neighbors.
However, if the two return with gifts, I believe the folks in Liujiatun will treat them as family members.
Regarding these human relations, Su Mingzhe was very clear-minded.
Seeing that the man had a plan, Ma Suqin also knew that the man had money, so she said nothing more.
After all, when she was working as an educated youth teacher in Liujiatun, the eighteen yuan subsidy given to her by the commune every month was all used by her to buy school supplies for her students.
Turn around.
The two got on the train to Tieling.
One day later, we arrived at Tieling.
The two took a passenger bus and arrived at the county seat.
After staying overnight in the county seat, the two of them got on the bus back to the commune.
As before, there is only one trip from the commune to the county seat every day at noon.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the two got off the car at the commune.
Su Mingzhe bought a pick pole, picked up two large packages, and walked towards Liujiatun.
Ma Suqin followed behind.
Perhaps because she didn't do much exercise at school, Ma Suqin's physical fitness dropped significantly. After walking for only half an hour, she was panting from exhaustion and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
The two rested for a while before continuing on their way.
In the past, the two-hour journey took them nearly three hours this time.
The old and young men in Liujiatun were indeed very happy for the two men to come back, especially when they heard that the two large packages they brought back were full of gifts for the folks in Liujiatun.
After gathering all the villagers, Su Mingzhe found his uncle and asked him to distribute gifts to everyone.
Later, Su Mingzhe and Ma Suqin went to their uncle's house for dinner.
After dinner, everyone gathered in the square of the school. The men surrounded Su Mingzhe and the women chatted around Ma Suqin, asking what the outside world was like.
After Ma Suqin went to the capital, she spent most of her time studying. In fact, she only knew a little about the outside world, so naturally she couldn't answer so many questions.
Su Mingzhe's knowledge and knowledge are naturally profound. He told everyone about a lot of external situations and changes, as well as customs and stories from various places, which opened everyone's eyes.
After a while, more than a hundred people gathered around Su Mingzhe.
A night talk lasted until about nine o'clock in the evening, and it was finally over when the dew started to appear.
After seeing everyone off, Su Mingzhe took Ma Suqin back to the room for private lessons.
It has to be said that during the long time since he came to this plane, Su Mingzhe not only owned Ma Suqin, but also owned Wen Qingxue. However, the place where his heart relaxes the most is the fire kang in Liujiatun.
Su Mingzhe felt particularly emotional every time he asked Ma Suqin to give him private lessons on the kang.
After a private training class, Ma Suqin was also very satisfied. She hugged the man's neck tightly with her hands and refused to let him leave her.
Su Mingzhe was naturally reluctant to let go, so he just hugged her.
After a while, the two went directly to the second class.
…
In spring, I sleep late, and in summer, I sleep faintly!
After the two people got up from a late sleep, the sun shone into the house.
When the two of them got up to wash up, they saw that the villagers had already gone to work in the fields carrying farm tools.
Just had some breakfast.
Su Mingzhe packed some gifts and took Ma Suqin to his uncle Liu Qiushan's house as a guest.
Liu Qiushan, the uncle, has been taking care of the original person after his parents died.
Su Mingzhe traveled through time, so he couldn't be ungrateful and treat his dear uncle as an ordinary relative.
By noon.
Liu Qiushan came back, drank some wine with Su Mingzhe, and asked Su Mingzhe about his study situation in detail.
When he learned that Su Mingzhe had earned a lot of money from writing articles and had bought a house in Jinling, his eyes turned red and he looked at his youngest son and several grandchildren who had been clamoring not to go to school.
It seems that tonight, these little brats will inevitably have a meal of 'fried meat on bamboo boards'.
Su Mingzhe expressed deep sympathy for what happened to his little cousin and several nephews, but he would not say much.
After all, it is always good to read more.
The next few days.
Su Mingzhe took Ma Suqin as guests at the homes of several uncles.
After all, one cannot favor one over the other.
One week later.
With everyone reluctant to leave, the two of them said goodbye and left Liujiatun.
Ma Suqin's two brothers went to the countryside to work as educated youth, and they originally had a rough address.
The second brother is in Hunan Province, and the eldest brother is in Bashu.
Su Mingzhe promised to take Ma Suqin to find his two brothers-in-law, and he would keep his word.
After leaving Liujiatun, the two went straight to Hunan Province.
Unlike Beijing, marriage certificates issued by Liujiatun and communes can be used in Hunan Province.
When two people stay in a guest house, they only need to book a room.
the next day.
The two came to the County Educated Youth Office. Su Mingzhe took out a box of Beijing's Hard Gate and gave a circle of cigarettes to several old smokers in the office. Then he casually scattered a box to each of them, and then asked Ma Suqin about the second brother. A place to stay.
When the other party learned that the two of them were visiting relatives, he did not make any pretense. He asked the second brother Ma Suqin which year he came, and then found a thick booklet and asked the two to rummage through it themselves.
Soon, Ma Suqin saw the message from her second brother.
After learning the news, Ma Suqin, accompanied by a man, quickly came to the village where her second brother was born and met her second brother.
In Ma Suqin's impression, her second brother was handsome, talented in literature, and a truly great talent.
But now, the Ma Hongjun who appeared in front of her was no different from an ordinary old farmer.
His skin is dark, his mouth is full of yellow teeth, and his clothes are in tatters, one patch after another.
If it weren’t for the fact that her appearance and outline hadn’t changed, Ma Suqin wouldn’t dare to recognize her:
"Second brother?!"
"Su Qin?!"
Compared to Ma Suqin who dared not recognize the farmer in front of her as her second brother, Ma Hongjun was shy and slightly ashamed when his sister came to see him.
Ma Hongjun came to the countryside in 1968.
Ma Hongjun, who was used to being cool in school, seduced a beautiful, innocent girl from the village and ate the forbidden fruit not long after he came here.
In that era, if Ma Hongjun did such a thing, the girl's parents would definitely not let Ma Hongjun go.
In the blink of an eye, ten years later, Ma Suqin's second sister-in-law gave birth to a total of five boys, two girls, and seven children to Ma Hongjun.
With such a heavy family burden, Ma Hongjun, who was once handsome and handsome, naturally could no longer be free and unrestrained.
