The Feng family has already begun to buy a dowry and other necessities for Feng Zhenzhen. This time, Xiao Wu was invited to have dinner at home with the intention of discussing the marriage.
Mr. Lu told Xiao Wu to go with confidence and to just comply with whatever requests the other party made. With him as his backing, there was nothing to worry about!
But - "That will be after Ke Shan comes back. Then Xiao Wu and A Yang will leave together. We will be delayed for a few days until I finish the annual meeting."
Now that Baozi's father had made all the arrangements, Xu Suizhu no longer objected.
So, as soon as the school had its winter vacation, Lin Yujuan happily took the faculty and staff to Keshan for a study tour.
This time, there were not many faculty and staff taking care of their families, and even if they were, they were taking care of children who did not occupy a bed.
After all, adult family members have to pay for their own beds and meals. Although the school signed a group purchase contract with the travel agency, which is much cheaper than an individual trip, but I think that Keshan is just a poor mountain ravine. What fun can there be? I want to climb a mountain.
Go to the nearby Shanli Village Farm Stay for two days, save money and relax, why spend money and suffer here!
Everyone likes to go there for five days without spending a penny, so just pay.
In this way, the family members of the entire team that stood out seemed to be brought by Lin Yujuan - her boss Fu, her Xiao Gongju, Zhuang Yi and Xiao Baozi, and Comrade Xiao Wu who was responsible for the bodyguard and labor force...
…
Thanks to Mrs. Lu, they went back to Kyoto early to attend the wedding of a child of a certain family. Shouldn't they be confused: Go ahead. The road after entering the mountain is bumpy and winding. As you get older, you will have less adaptability and you will faint.
Che Neng can't eat enough for a day; if you don't go, you'll worry about your grandson.
So on the phone, I scolded my son for agreeing to his grandson's winter vacation in the mountains.
After that, when I changed to Xiao Baozi to answer the call, he immediately returned to his soft voice, like the spring breeze and rain:
"Xiao Yu, grandma can't play with you, so you have to be careful! Bring motion sickness medicine, and bring more food. Ask your dad to exchange some change for you, and buy whatever you want on the way.
Don’t worry…”
Just like that, even though she was far away in Kyoto, Mrs. Lu also remembered that her grandson was going to travel to Keshan. She called again early this morning to remind her, and at the end she dragged her younger son out and scolded him.
Lu Chixiao: "..."
He is probably a fake son!
Cheng Jinkang and the four of them also took the tour bus from Fjord Middle School back together.
This semester they saved some money through work-study and went home to celebrate the New Year. They didn't think of buying new clothes for themselves, but instead bought a cigarette and two bottles of wine for the village party secretary who usually took good care of their family.
After Xu Suizhu heard about it, he stuffed two cans of Ceylon black tea, two bags of Fuju Sanbao tea, several large bags of dried seafood, homemade candies, biscuits and the like for them, asking them to give them away or entertain visitors during the New Year.
of relatives and friends.
Seeing the teenagers blushing and shyly waving their hands, Little Baozi took the initiative to help them carry their bags and said, "Brother, you're welcome! Brother Yi and I will stay at your house later! This is our accommodation."
It’s free!”
This kid! He really doesn’t want to pick up any pot!
Xu Suizhu couldn't help but want to hold her forehead.
You must know that the homes of these four people were destroyed by mudslides, and their parents are no longer here. How can they have the money to repair their houses because they are single and weak?
Before coming to the fjord, I lived in a shabby woodshed vacated by the village.
This firewood house used to be a private granary of a wealthy man. During the revolution, it was smashed to pieces by the angry villagers, and was later used to store collective firewood.
Later, during the land reform, everyone began to live in various ways and eat their own food. There was no collective granary or collective firewood shed. This house has been idle. It is really poor, but it is a good thing when you are homeless.
It can also be considered a shelter.
Xu Suizhu donated a lot of money to Keshan in the name of Yutao, but it was mainly used to run schools. At that time, the primary school and junior high school in the village were also in disrepair, but he did not consider the current situation of the village.
Fortunately, after the school that Fjord was paired with rebuilt its campus, it arranged long-term dormitories for the students who lost their homes.
Cheng Jinkang and others have been living in the school since then. But now that they have transferred to Fjord, it is unknown whether the school has taken back their dormitory. If it has been taken back, they will have to live in a shabby dormitory in the village.
The woodshed was closed. Little Baozi offered to follow them home, which was quite embarrassing.
Xu Suizhu rewarded his son with a headache and winked at him.
The little bun looked confused.
Instead, the teenagers laughed first.
"It's okay, Teacher Xu. Xiaoyu can live with us in the village. The village party secretary's grandson is about the same age as Xiaoyu. Then we will discuss with the village party secretary and let Xiaoyi and Xiaoyu stay at his house for a few nights.
alright."
Little Baozi looked at Xu Suizhu, hoping that she would agree.
Xu Suizhu had nothing to do with him, but then he thought about it: That's fine! Take this opportunity to let him know about real mountain village life. Not all mountain villages are like the almost fully developed mountain villages - although they are still pastoral, but
It is filled with a full sense of happiness brought by common prosperity, as well as the artificial traces that have to be left behind due to renovation and maintenance.
The real mountain villages are still poor.
No matter how much others say, no one can understand this kind of suffering. Only those who really live there can feel it deeply.
For example, if there is no running water, we must rely on spring water to attract bamboo; in winter, when the spring water dries up, we have to fetch water from a reservoir several miles away;
For example, if the circuit is unstable and the power goes out frequently, the power outage lasts for several nights, and nothing can be done with the lights on;
Another example is if you rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water, it is almost a delusion to want to eat fresh seafood there.
Because the market closest to the village requires adults to walk briskly for a long time to get there.
How can people in the village have the free time to go to the market every day to buy seafood? A round trip would take most of the day away. The key is that even if there are such free people, they can't buy truly fresh seafood.
The so-called seafood there is all frozen and thawed, I don’t know how many times it has been frozen. When I buy it and wash it, the fish and meat are rotten.
Thinking of this, Xu Suizhu agreed with Dad Baozi's proposal, and with a wave of his hand, he agreed that the two children would live in their village with Cheng Jinkang and his party. Under the leadership of Teacher Lin, the teaching staff also went to a brother school in the town to stay
Two days.
So Xu Suizhu said to his son: "You are going to go on your own and insist on living in the village. Don't cry if you can't endure the hardship. What did your father teach you?"
"A true man, he bleeds without shedding tears!" Little Baozi replied loudly, patting his chest.
Xu Suizhu suppressed laughter and patted his small shoulder: "Everyone heard it! A man must keep his word!"
"I know! I broke my promise and got fat! Brother Yi told me all about it!" Little Baozi couldn't wait to see the outside world.
