The uncle's friend took them all the way to the place before leaving. As soon as the big car entered the village, it was surrounded by children, who all looked at the big car curiously.
After seeing the big car, the workers gathered around it curiously. It just so happened that my uncle's eldest brother was working in the fields at the entrance of the village. As soon as Zhang Yu and others got out of the car, his uncle's eldest brother saw it and immediately
He ran over and shouted excitedly: "Wenzhuo, Wenzhuo, why are you back?"
"Brother, didn't I hear that your boy is getting married? He happened to be back after a few days of rest."
"Why are you going so far away? I'm just going to tell you that my kid is getting married and I want you not to come back. You are also very busy at work."
"That's not possible. How can I not come back for my nephew's wedding? I'm busy with work, so I have to come back."
"Then can you stay for two more days when you come back this time?"
"I have these two days off, plus I changed shifts with someone for a day, so I can stay at home for more than two days."
"It's a good two days, it's a good two days. You were busy last year and stayed for a day when you came back. This time, let's chat with me for two days. Please wait for me and I'll go to the captain to ask for leave." After finishing speaking.
Without waiting for what Zhao Wenzhuo was saying, he ran towards the captain.
"Captain, captain, I have something to do, so I will leave work first."
"Okay, I think Brother Zhao is back. He is here for the wedding of your third son. Brother Zhao comes back rarely, so you have to entertain people well." The captain is also a good talker and cheerful.
’ s agreed.
"You've been waiting for a long time. I've asked for leave. Let's go back."
The two people were walking and chatting. After chatting for a while, they arrived in the yard. He took out the key from his pocket, opened the door, and said: "Since you left last year, I will ask the children to give you the yard every once in a while."
Clean it up, you came just in time, I just dried the quilt for you two days ago."
"Sorry, brother."
"Is this any trouble? What kind of polite words do you have to say to me as a family?"
Brother Zhao also wanted them to have a meal at home, but Zhao Wenzhuo refused. In order to thank the friend who sent them here, they had already eaten at a state-owned restaurant in the town.
Seeing that Zhao Wenzhuo and the others had already finished their meal, Brother Zhao didn't say much. He just chatted with him for a while, and when it got slightly dark, he got up and left.
When he was leaving, he saw Zhao Wenzhuo getting up to see him off and said, "Don't see him off. I'm not as familiar with the roads in this country as you are. You have been busy all day and are tired. Please pack up and rest."
Zhao Wenzhuo thought that they were all his own relatives, so he was not polite. He walked to the door and stopped walking forward.
Zhang Yu looked around at the house. It was made of clay, but it looked quite new.
"Uncle, is this your house? It looks pretty new to me." Seeing Zhao Wenzhuo back, Zhang Yu asked curiously.
"It's mine. The old house collapsed during the heavy rain a few years ago. When I came back, I stayed at my eldest brother's house. But my eldest brother's house was small, so I thought I couldn't trouble my eldest brother all the time, so I left the money in trust.
My eldest brother helped me rebuild these two houses. Although they are not made of bricks and tiles, they are not bad."
"It's not bad. It looks good to me."
Several people chatted for a while, discussing what gifts to bring tomorrow and what gifts to give when they get married the day after tomorrow, but they all shut up after a while.
They were tired after a day's journey, so they quickly packed their things and went to bed. While sleeping, Zhao Feng said to Zhang Yu: "You go to bed today, and I will take you up the mountain to play tomorrow."
"Up the mountain?"
"Well, there are many mountains here, and there are many novel things on the mountains. When I lived here as a child, I often followed the older children around the mountains."
"Okay." Listening to what he said, Zhang Yu also showed his expectation. The next day, Zhang Yu got up early and got up when it was just dawn.
But even so, Zhao Feng, who was sleeping next to him, was nowhere to be seen. He touched the quilt and found that it was already cold. He must have gotten up early.
When he got dressed and went out, Zhao Feng had already packed the basket, basket and backpack for going up the mountain. There were two pairs of scissors and several small wooden shovels inside.
Seeing him coming out, Zhao Feng waved: "Xiaoyu, wake up. I've prepared the things you need to go up the mountain. Come over and eat quickly. After eating, we will go up the mountain with the others."
Zhang Yu looked at the small wooden shovel in his back and didn't say anything, but when he saw the look in his eyes, Zhao Feng still opened his mouth to explain: "Don't think it's just a wooden shovel, but I borrowed it with great difficulty. Last year,
The iron tools have all been handed over, so the tools used now are made of relatively hard wood that has been burned and then polished, so let’s make do with it.”
"Xiaoyu, hurry up and eat. I will go with you after dinner." Zhao Xiaoping brought the warm food in the pot to Zhang Yu.
"Brother, sister, have you eaten?" Zhang Yu turned around and asked when he saw there was only one meal on the table.
"Have eaten. Let's cook early today." Zhang Yu felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He was the only sleepy one in the family. Everyone else had gotten up and had eaten. He had just gotten up.
He hurriedly finished his meal, then quickly put away his bowl, picked up a beetroot and followed him out.
But after a while, Zhang Yu was still a little confused, because those who followed them up the mountain were a group of five or six-year-old children.
He turned to look at Zhao Feng and asked, "Shall we go with them?"
Hearing what he said, a little boy over six years old next to him became unhappy and said, "What's wrong? Why can't you go with us? Don't look at us because we are young. We have found as much stuff as you."
Zhang Yu was speechless for a moment, but Zhao Feng explained to him: "The only ones idle in the village now are these children. Children over eight years old are all employed, and their job is to cut pig grass.
They have to cut two backs of pigweed a day and send it to the village pig farm, so they have two jobs a day."
"These little kids who don't have to work also have jobs. They are responsible for digging wild vegetables and so on." Zhao Xiaoping continued what her elder brother said next to her.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw many children cutting pigweed there.
There was a lush pig pasture at the corner of the mountain, and there were no drops of water on it at this time. Many children were cutting it quickly with the sickles distributed to the workers in the village.
Seeing them coming, one of the children shouted loudly: "Uncle Feng, are you going up the mountain? Wait for me, my pigweed will be cut soon. My dad told me yesterday to take you to the mountains.
