Yu Fan felt a little aggrieved. He had lived with his third aunt since he was a child, and his relationship was very good. When he heard this, he hurriedly explained: "Aunt, I just came back the day before yesterday. As soon as I came back, I went to the township government with my father. Yesterday
I'm going to report again. I'll come here to see you when I have time. I haven't gone to grandma's place yet." Upon hearing this, the third aunt laughed and hit him: "Is it reasonable for you not to come see me? By the way, help me.
I'll bring something to your grandma, I don't have time to go up there right now." After saying that, he went into the house, twisted two bags and handed them to Yu Fan, and said with a smile: "This is the honey your grandparents asked for and the high-strength liquor used to make medicinal wine.
, you can take it there conveniently."
When Yu Fan heard this, he quickly took it and put it on the back seat of the bicycle, and clamped the things with clips. The third uncle also entered the room and took a sip of water, then came out and said, "Okay, let's set off quickly.
The weather is good today. If you go late, you will miss something." In fact, Yu Fan had always wondered what he was going to do in the countryside. Hearing this, he hurriedly asked: "Third uncle, what are we going to do in the village below?"
The third aunt on the side glanced at the third uncle and said: "What else can I do? I just don't let the people below sell last year's grain and rapeseed. These are all things that offend people." The third uncle also glared at the third uncle.
The girl glanced at her and said: "Don't talk nonsense, you don't understand." Wang Fuchun, who was with him, also smiled and said: "This is the task of the town. The reserves of the town's grain management office are not enough. We need to increase the reserves of grain and rapeseed.
.”
Yu Fan was even more surprised: "Can't we just buy it directly?" Li Changgui on the side continued: "The price of the grain management office is not high, and it is just a piece of paper. Who is willing to sell it to them now?" The third uncle waved his hand and said
: "Okay, this is not something we have to worry about. We just need to do our own things well. Let's go, let's go, we can't delay any longer." After saying that, he took a few people on the bicycle and headed towards the road.
Getting on the bike, San Gu called from behind: "Xiao Fan, come home for dinner when you come back." Yu Fan also responded quickly while riding his bicycle.
Yujiawan Village is a bit far from the town, and they have to pass through two villages along the way. Along the way, Yu Fan also saw many people from the township government squatting at various intersections, and his third uncle also smiled and greeted them.
Although it has been sunny these days, the dirt road in the countryside is still not very easy to walk. Yu Fan often walked this road when he was young. He did not expect that after so many years, this road is still like this. It was a bumpy ride to Yu's house.
The Bay Village Committee, the village chief and the village secretary had also arrived here a long time ago. When they saw the third uncle, they smiled and said, "Correspondent Zou is here. What do you want to do at noon today?" The third uncle hurriedly parked his bicycle aside and smiled.
He said: "Secretary Yu is too polite. You can just make arrangements for lunch. We are mainly here to work."
Secretary Yu laughed loudly and said: "Work is work, and you have to eat food. You are the son-in-law of our village. I think this way, make a chicken soup, cook a plate of eel, and then go to the one contracted by Captain Wang."
Go get a soft-shell turtle from the lake, and for the rest, just get a few home-cooked dishes from the countryside. What do you think? I'll have a drink with you at noon?" The third uncle also laughed when he heard this and said, "Okay, I'll have it at noon.
Have a few drinks with Secretary Yu."
Secretary Yu laughed loudly and said: "Okay, that's it." Then he said to the village chief on the side: "Yongqing, just greet them at the village committee. I'll let the people below get ready. We will be here at noon today.
We’re having dinner at Captain Wang’s house, so you should come too.” After saying that, he winked at the village chief and smiled at a few people before going out.
The village chief Zhang Yongqing also smiled and said: "Come on, Correspondent Zou, come and sit in the village committee." The third uncle also smiled and said: "Village Chief Zhang, don't be so polite, just call me Xiao Zou. What kind of correspondent?
He's just an errand boy in the countryside." He turned back to Wang Fuchun and others and said, "Fuchun, today is like yesterday, go to the intersection of the village and squat for a while. Take Yu Fan to see the place first, and then let him go for two hours.
Fake. He grew up in this village and is familiar with every place." Wang Fuchun and others also smiled and nodded in agreement.
The village chief Zhang Yongqing was also surprised when he heard this: "This is also from our Yujiawan Village?" The third uncle smiled and said: "You don't recognize Village Chief Zhang either. This is my nephew, the son of Yu Xianyi, the head of the village.
, the one who later moved to the town, hey, is the one who sells pork in the town market now." Zhang Yongqing slapped his forehead and suddenly said: "Oh, he is Xianyi's son, what is his name?
Yes, it’s Xiaofan, right? I mean, why does it look so familiar? Why are you going to work in the countryside now, instead of going to university in the province?"
Although Yu Fan comes back often, he is really not very familiar with any of the village chiefs and secretaries in the village. However, when he heard this, he smiled smartly and said: "Hello, Uncle Zhang, I am Yu Fan. I just graduated from college this year. I was Zhang
My uncle arranged to go to work in the countryside." What about Uncle Zhang? Zhang Yongqing glanced at the third uncle next to him in confusion, but the third uncle smiled and nodded slightly. Zhang Yongqing suddenly said: "Oh, it's Secretary Zhang. Okay, okay.
, Xiaofan is a college student, and he has a bright future working in the township government. I didn’t expect that our village will have another capable person." After saying that, he looked at Yu Fan and laughed.
The third uncle also said to several people at this time: "You should take Yu Fan to the entrance of the village and stay there. Yu Fan, you will get to know each other first and then come back. I will go to your grandma's house with you." Yu Fan also responded and followed.
Wang Fuchun and others pushed their bicycles towards the entrance of the village.
There are only a few roads connecting Yujiawan Village to the outside world. The best way to take them is at the entrance of the village on the day they came in. The other roads are full of potholes. It is okay to walk on a sunny day, but not by car. The road surface
It's really too narrow. Only the road at the entrance of the village is relatively wide. Every year, the village transports grain from here. As long as it doesn't rain continuously, this road is quite easy to walk. This is the road that Yu Fan often takes when he comes back.
, this point is still very clear.
A group of five people stopped when they reached the road at the entrance of the village. They parked their bicycles on the roadside and squatted here. Yu Fan also looked at the environment of the village along the way. There was not much change from before, except for zero.
Some families in Xingxing have built new houses, most of them are still red-tiled houses, and some are already very dilapidated.
Stopping at the intersection, Yu Fan also took out his cigarette and sprinkled it around the four people. He smiled and chatted with a few people before pushing the bicycle back to the village committee of Yujiawan Village. In the village committee,
The third uncle was chatting with Village Chief Zhang there. When he saw Yu Fan coming back, he hurriedly said to Zhang Yongqing: "Village Chief Zhang, my nephew and I will go to see my mother-in-law first and will be back soon. We must have a good drink at noon.
Cup." Zhang Yongqing smiled hurriedly and said: "Definitely, definitely." Then he smiled and said to Yu Fan: "Xiaofan, you must go to Uncle Zhang's house to sit down when you have time. When your father was in the village, he and I were the best friends.
Yes, you can’t let your father say that I didn’t take good care of you when he comes back next time.”
Yu Fan hurriedly smiled and responded, taking out a cigarette and passing one over respectfully, saying: "Uncle Zhang is so polite. I have gone to work in the village now. I hope Uncle Zhang will take more care of things in the village in the future." Zhang Yongqing took the cigarette and smelled it.
Yan Ye chuckled. The third uncle also smiled and said goodbye to Zhang Yongqing, pushing his bicycle and walking towards the village with Yu Fan.
Grandma Yu Fan’s house is not connected with most of the people in the village. It is in the southernmost part of the village. There are several separate families living there. Ye Luo lived here when she was young. Grandma’s house
The house is a red-tiled house made of adobe, and only grandpa and grandma live here. Although most people in Yujiawan Village have the surname Yu, Yu Fan and his generation have no direct relatives living in Yujiawan Village.
Who is there? Only Yu Fan’s second aunt still lives in the village. Grandma’s family is also taken care of by her second aunt nearby.
Surrounding the red-tiled house is grandma's own vegetable garden, where Yu Fan often played when he was a child. When Yu Fan and his third uncle arrived, grandma was also picking vegetables in the garden. Looking at grandma's bowing back from a distance, Yu Fan
I couldn't help but sigh that now that I have grown up, my grandma looks much older and not as vigorous as I saw when I was a child.
Yu Fan parked his bicycle, took off the things on the back and shouted loudly: "Grandma, grandma." Grandma also raised her head and was very happy to see it was Yu Fan: "Ah, it's Xiaofan, oh, Xiao Zou is here too.
." After saying that, he happily walked out of the vegetable garden. Yu Fan also hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but grandma smiled and said: "No need, I am in good health."
The third uncle also smiled and said: "Mom, today is Xiaofan's first day to work in the countryside, and he happens to be staying in the village. I will bring him to see you." Grandma also looked at Yu Fan kindly and said with a smile: "Okay,
I have finally graduated from college, and I might as well go work for the township government. The public place is stable, and Xiaofan is not young anymore. He will get married in two years. Work hard in the village, and find a girlfriend to get married in two years. Grandma
It makes me feel at ease.”
When Yu Fan heard this, he said a little nervously: "Grandma, I'm still young, so there's no need to worry so much." Grandma glared at Yu Fan and said, "You are so young, you are already twenty-three, and there are many young men as old as you in the village.
She is married and has a child, but grandma is anxious to have her grandson." The third uncle on the side also smiled and said: "Mom, you don't have to be too anxious. Xiaofan has just gone to work in the countryside and has not yet become a full-time employee.
When we become regular workers in the future, with our Xiaofan’s looks and the fact that we are college students, are we afraid that we won’t be able to find a wife?”
Grandma also smiled when she heard this and was about to say something. Yu Fan's grandfather also walked out of the house. When he saw Yu Fan, he smiled and said: "Xiao Fan is back." Yu Fan hurriedly called Grandpa, Grandpa.
She also smiled and said: "Xiaofan hasn't eaten yet, let's have dinner at home at noon. I'm going to kill a chicken." After hearing this, grandma suddenly said: "Yes, yes, we will have dinner at home today."
But the third uncle smiled and said: "Dad, Mom, you two elders don't have to work too much. The village has already arranged the meal. Xiaofan went to the countryside for the first time, and he also had to establish a good relationship with the village leaders.
, even if you become a regular employee in the future, you will still have to deal with them when you come down." Grandma said "oh" in disappointment when she heard this, but grandpa smiled and said: "That's right, working in a public institution, the relationship is
You must prepare it well. Your family will have many opportunities after eating." Grandma laughed relieved after hearing this.
