(90) Hurry back to the city

One Spring Festival passed in a mess. When the twelfth day of the first lunar month stopped, I pushed Senior Brother Xiao Cai’s “permanent” regardless of my mother’s worries and advice, and hurried out.

The long-lost sun came out, and the white was a little dazzling. The road on the big wet and difficult to walk. I rode carefully on it, and I almost overturned the car several times. After walking about 10 miles, Xiao Weizhuang was ahead. I felt very funny when I thought of the second concubine bringing Sanhong to a blind date.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of Xiaoweizhuang, I saw a few people in the river bank. They stretched their necks and looked forward. I rode my bike to the front and recognized that it was Sanhong and her brother.

"You... are you going back to the county today?" Sanhong saw me riding a bicycle, and her big face was filled with surprise.

"The Chinese New Year is over, I have to rush back to work." I got out of the car a little embarrassedly.

"Daping, is it you? Long time no see." Sanhong's brother also turned to recognize me.

"You...what are you waiting for?" Seeing this former "enemy", I gritted my teeth and said hello.

"Where are you going?" As Sanhong's brother spoke, a black fur on his cheek jumped twice.

"Didn't they just say that they're going back to the city to work?" Sanhong complained.

"It's already noon. Let's go to my house for dinner before leaving." Sanhong's brother glanced at his sister and smiled with a cracked mouth.

When I saw Sanhong's brother smile, my heart beat a few times. In the two neighboring villages, Sanhong and her brother are each other's children. Usually, the children in the two villages fight each other and when they bluff and scold, I stare at Sanhong's brother without blinking. I am not afraid that he will jump up and down to show off. As long as he smiles like this last, the battle will start immediately. So, his smile in front of me immediately made me think about how to deal with it with it reflexively.

"What are you nervous about? We are relatives now. By the end of the year, you will be my brother-in-law. Are you afraid that I will take you to the village to black?" Sanhong's brother saw that my face changed, and reached out and patted my shoulder.

"You were not my opponent in the past, and now I am not afraid of you damning me." I also relaxed and laughed with him.

"Haha-- let's go back to the village quickly." Sanhong's brother laughed so much that his black hair turned purple and red.

"I have to go back quickly. It was delayed by snow a few days ago and I have to go to work early tomorrow morning." I quickly waved my hand and refused.

"If you go to the city and become a worker, you will look down on us?" Sanhong's brother took out a pack of "big front door", popped up one, and handed it to me.

"How can you look down on you? Now that you are the boss, I am just a small worker." I thought of getting out quickly, and then complimented randomly.

"Hahahaha--" Sanhong laughed proudly, "We are waiting for the county supply and marketing cooperative car, and we agreed to come to the factory to pick up goods today. Spring is coming soon, and our willow weaving work will be busy."

"You guys hurry up and I'll leave now. Besides, I've just finished eating and only walked for more than 10 miles." I heard him say this, pushed up the car and prepared to leave.

"Then wait till next time." Sanhong's brother seemed to be really troublesome, and he didn't mean to force me to stay.

"Let's have a meal. Wait for a while and go back to the county with the cart that takes the goods." Sanhong continued to keep it with a sincere look on his face.

"I'm still riding a bike, which is not very convenient." I thanked me and hurriedly rode on the big "permanent".

The sun at noon shone on the Dawei, and the snow over the past few days began to melt. Under the crushing of vehicles and people, it immediately turned into black mud. I tried hard to hold the handlebars and didn't dare to pedal hard. That's it, my whole body was still covered with mud and water. This year's trip to go home during the Spring Festival this year was really hard. It was only half a day before I fell to the county town, and I had been walking for a whole day.

The streets were very lively during the Spring Festival. The snow on the road was basically cleaned up. There was no time to clean the road, and it was also dirty and fixed by people flowing around. When I passed by the ancient bell tower, the Hongwei Hotel next to me was bustling, and the cultural center opposite was even more cheerful. I didn't slow down, and I roamed the bell all the way and rode forward hard, thinking about returning to the dormitory as soon as possible, putting down my things and going to the bathroom in the factory. I couldn't take a shower at home this Spring Festival, so I felt thorny all over and felt itchy and uncomfortable.

The sun drooped to the treetops in the west, and the temperature dropped immediately. I pushed the "permanent". As soon as I stepped into the yard, I was hit by an oncoming snowball ball and was covered in bloom. In a panic, a group of naughty kids playing snowball fights dispersed in a burst of laughter.

"Master Xiao Wu, come back." When she heard someone entering the yard, Sister Lu, who lived on the first floor, pushed the door out and saw that it was me, she greeted her warmly.

"Sister Lu, happy new year, it's hard to walk on the road. Look at the things I'm doing, I have to go to the factory to take a shower." I said, pointing at my dirty clothes.

"It just so happens that your elder brother Wu wants to go, and he is worried that there is no acquaintance to take him." Sister Lu smiled happily.

I went to the power distribution room at the back to put things in, and quickly took out the changing clothes. My eldest brother's husband, Brother Wu, was already waiting for me in the front yard. He said that his family leave was about to arrive and he would go back to the army the day after tomorrow. I rode the Grand "Permanent" and took Brother Wu to the bathroom in the factory. There was no one inside. I handed a cigarette to the administrator, asked him to heat up the hot air again, and reheat the water that was already a little cool. Brother Wu and I soaked themselves in the pool like a big red shrimp, came up and made soap, rubbed each other's backs, rinsed them in the shower room, and when they were out, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

We returned to the guesthouse, and Sister Lu insisted on taking me for dinner. Tomorrow is my morning shift, I rode a car for another day and took a good bath. I was tired and exhausted, thinking of going to bed early, but throughout the night, people kept coming to ask for hot water. I could only guard a large electric stove and cook for them in pots, and stayed up until more than one o'clock in the evening. Although I felt very hard, I really had no complaints. It was really difficult for these two employees who separated from the two places. They were about to face another year of separation, and everyone was filled with reluctance and bitterness.

Because I was too tired, I slept very heavily that night. It was the children in the yard who were playing and woke me up. I quickly got up and washed up, ate some pancakes brought from home, and pushed Brother Xiao Cai's big "permanent" car out. This time, due to the wind and snow, I borrowed it for more than ten days. I felt a little sad and thought to give it back to him after work.

When I arrived at the workshop, the night shift and morning shift had already been handed over, so it was still a little late. When I opened the door of the distribution duty room, I happened to meet Master Liu to go to patrol. I quickly put my things and went out. Because the fifteenth day of the first lunar month had not yet passed, everyone was still immersed in the festival atmosphere, so everyone in the workshop was very lazy. After I inspected, I went to the safeguard class. Fatty Zhang said that Brother Xiao Cai had been on a resuming two days because of the Spring Festival shift, and he didn't come to work at home. Back to the duty room, I saw that there was not much. I took Yuan Yuan's "Algebra" from my bag and continued to read along with the content I read before the festival. Because the foundation was too weak, I had several problems that I didn't understand, and I couldn't help but feel a little anxious. I thought that if this continued, I didn't know when I could finish my high school courses, and almost lost my confidence.

After get off work, after taking a shower, I returned to the guesthouse and wrapped a few newly-browned wheat pancakes. When I was about to return the car to Cai’s house, I gave them some fresh food. Walking on the street, the melting ice and snow began to slowly condense, and the ice slithers along the eaves of the street were still dripping water, falling on the heads or feet of pedestrians, causing people to scream. I turned south from the county government and walked into the alley of Senior Brother Xiao Cai’s house. When I passed by the Zhao family compound, I didn’t hear the barking of the wolf dog. I thought that there might be too many people coming to the door to give gifts recently, and the big wolf dog had not been brought back.

I knocked on the door of the Cai family, and it was the old master Cai who came out to open the door. He was very happy to see that it was me. He told me that Senior Brother Xiao Cai was not at home and might have gone out to find Li Qin. After I expressed my gratitude to him, I helped push the big "permanent" that was wiped clean at work and helped push the wheat pancakes he brought to him.
