Xu Shiyan wanted to sit down and talk to his wife for a while, but how could he have time? He still had many things to be busy with.
The moving of his parents was different from his time. The old couple had lived in the big house for many years and saved a lot of things.
If you want to move, you can’t find a car or someone? When you want to find a car, you can’t say hello to Guo Shouye in advance?
If so many things are moved out with a sledge, it will take several days. It is better to find two cars and it will be out in one go.
So, Xu Shiyan sat at home for a while, then took a lot of things to the Forestry Bureau to find Guo Shouye.
Guo Shouye hasn't seen Xu Shiyan for a long time, but it was quite warm to meet him.
As soon as he heard that Xu Shiyan was moving his parents and wanted to find two cars to use, Guo Shouye agreed without saying a word.
He just said that Xu Shiyan would call for a taxi whenever he needed it.
After the car matter was settled, Xu Shiyan went to see Xu Shixian and Xu Shi'an again, and made an agreement with them to go back to the big house tomorrow to help his father pack his things.
Xu Shixian and Xu Shian had known for a long time that the third child intended to take their parents to Donggang, and they were very happy.
Anyway, they have nothing to do now, so they can go back and help move.
In this way, early the next morning, the three brothers met and went straight to the big house.
The ice on the river is already very thick, so walking and driving are no problem.
After crossing the river, we went straight to Xu's house. As soon as we entered the door, we saw Xu Chenghou demolishing the warehouse, with many things piled up in the yard.
Needless to say, the old man had already started packing his things and was preparing to move.
"Dad, we're back, are you ready to go?" Xu Shiyan spoke first.
"Well, I'll pack it up when I have free time. I thought you had to go down the mountain in a few days, but I didn't expect it to be so early."
When Xu Chenghou met his three sons, he only said a few words to Xu Shiyan, but he didn't even talk to them.
It's not Xu Chenghou's fault. The two of them moved as soon as they said they wanted to move. No one mentioned that they would take their parents with them. How could the old man feel at ease?
Especially the eldest son, in whose family is the eldest son not the one who provides for the elderly?
It was a good idea when we separated, and the old couple lived with the eldest son.
The result? As soon as the boss's wife said she was going back to the city, this little brat followed her without saying a word. He felt like his butt was on fire. He didn't even think about what would happen to his parents in the future.
In the end, the third child was still thinking about his parents, and he thought that the old couple could not stay in this poor place, so he took them away.
Xu Chenghou was angry in his heart, so naturally he didn't like to talk to his two sons.
Xu Shixian and Xu Shian knew immediately that they had offended their father.
Each of them was too embarrassed to say anything and quickly helped clean up the mess.
Xu Shiyan, on the other hand, was chatting with Xu Chenghou while working.
"Dad, have you two obtained your household registration? Uncle Zhao didn't say anything, right?"
"Then what can you say? My son and daughter have all moved away, so we two old guys can't be left here. Isn't it normal to move away?
But your Uncle Zhao is quite envious of me. He even praised you when he asked me to go for a drink that day.
I praise you for your ability and heart, and you know how to take our old couple to Donggang to enjoy their happiness." Xu Chenghou said this deliberately to the two sons.
All five sons were born from the same mother. I didn’t expect the difference to be so big.
In the past, I always looked at the third child as incompetent and thought that the third child was worthless, while I thought those others were all capable.
Only then did I realize that the third child was the most reliable, and the others, huh, couldn't be counted on.
Xu Shiyan couldn't answer these words, so he could only shake his head and smile, and hurried over to work.
The father and son demolished everything that needed to be dismantled in the barn, pig pens, and chicken coops, and took away everything that could be taken away. Even if they were not used, they could still make a fire.
The guys here are busy working. When the neighbors saw it, they all came over to help.
After a while, Zhao Jianshe, Yang Chunming and others also found out and came over.
Everyone worked together and moved the Xu family's two large piles of firewood to the other side of the river.
No matter how thick the ice on the river was, Xu Shiyan did not dare to let the car come over.
It's easy to say nothing if nothing happens, but if something does happen, no one will be able to bear the responsibility.
Everything is dumped to the other side and can be loaded directly into the truck tomorrow.
Everyone helped in the day and packed everything together. In the evening, Zhao Dahai arranged a meal and called Xu Chenghou and his son and the helpers over for a meal.
During this meal, Zhao Dahai and Xu Chenghou both drank. By the end of the meal, they both felt a little sad and almost shed tears.
Zhao Dahai took advantage of the wine and scolded Hu Liancheng for not being a thing.
If he hadn't been messing around, the people in the Dongjiangyan brigade wouldn't have lost their minds, and now everyone wants to go out.
Xu Chenghou also drank a lot, so he told Zhao Dahai that when he was older in two years, he would not be a brigade secretary and leave as soon as he should. There was not much development in this remote and remote place.
Xu Shiyan sat nearby and watched, really not knowing what to say.
In the previous life, it was the old Chen family who got involved. There were less than 100 households in the Dongjiang River brigade, and in the end there were only about 30 households left. In this life, he became Hu Liancheng again.
In fact, we don’t necessarily blame anyone for this. There really isn’t much development in the area along the Dongjiang River. It’s normal for people to go to higher places.
Where is this? It's just that the Xu family has moved away, waiting for the introduction of the household responsibility system. With the dissolution of communes and production teams, more people will leave.
Especially after the 1990s, when the Songjiang River cascade power station was built and a dam was built on the upstream, the water in the big river disappeared, and even the small river could not catch up.
I used to rely on water to survive, but now I can’t eat anything, so why do I keep it?
The loneliness along the Dongjiang River is the destined ending.
"Third brother, can the Second Brigade of Donggang still need someone?"
Xu Shiyan was thinking about something when Zhao Jianshe and Yang Chunming came over and asked in a low voice.
"What's going on? You two want to move out too?" Xu Shiyan came back to his senses and looked at these two people.
"Well, this side of the Dongjiang River is really not interesting anymore. You don't know, there isn't much food this year, and there isn't much money.
And there aren’t many ginseng fields left in Maekawa. My father said that there won’t be any place to plant ginseng in two or three years.”
Zhao Jianshe glanced at his father and whispered.
After all, Dongjiang Riverside is a small place, and there is not much usable forest land.
Ginseng has been planted in the Maekawa area for many years. If we want to expand it in the surrounding areas, there really is no room.
The original land was not very large. If there were no more ginseng, how could this place be expected to develop? No wonder Zhao Jianshe was thinking of moving away.
"Okay, I'll ask our secretary later and I'll give you a message then."
They are all good friends, so Xu Shiyan naturally cannot refute their reputation.
In the future, the population of Donggang Commune will increase, including those of Zhao Jianshe and Yang Chunming.
He just keeps talking, so if he can help, he will try his best.
"Hey, thank you Third Brother, then we will go join Third Brother in the future."
When Zhao Jianshe heard this, he became happy and grinned.
"Brothers, why should we defect to each other or not? Let's make money together in the future."
After all these years together, Xu Shiyan would also think of friends like Big House when he was in the mountains.
It would be good for Zhao Jianshe and Yang Chunming to go to Donggang. It would be even better if they have the opportunity to develop and make money together in the future.
