Chapter 140

After sitting on the train for twenty or thirty hours, and now having to suffer for a few hours on the bus, Li Heng was really tired; he greeted the dim-witted one who was carsick and couldn't sleep to watch the luggage, then leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes, and it was much easier; he slept all the way to Qianzhen.

As soon as he got off the car, Zhang Zhiyong was still the same old routine, squatting in the garbage pile on the side of the road and vomiting wildly.

Li Heng moved the luggage down, specifically ran to the grocery store next to the station to buy two bottles of soda, and handed one to this guy.

"You are really weird, carsick but not seasick."

"Where is this weird? It's the same principle as me being obsessed with Sister Chunhua and not other women."

"Who said Yu Shuheng was beautiful to the point of bubbling? Wanted to marry her as a wife?"

"Damn! I was just talking big, do you understand? I'm not stupid, that kind of woman, let alone if I have 1 million, even if I have 10 million, she wouldn't look at me twice."

"Do you know how much 10 million is?"

"Screw how much it is, anyway, I have self-knowledge, and I hate people like you and my dad."

"Don't mention me and your dad in the same breath."

"You are all cheapskates."

The two bickered all the way, and time passed quickly, and before they knew it, they arrived at Shangwan Village.

After a month of absence, the old Li family's brick kiln had gone out, and Li Lan, Tian Run'e, and the eldest brother-in-law were dismantling the kiln; the red-hot old spicy red bricks were stacked one by one on the side of the road, preparing for the next step of building a new house.

Li Jianguo was feeding the pigs.

Grandma was helping to cook and burn dishes.

"Grandma, I'm back."

Seeing her eldest grandson, Grandma immediately came out with a spatula, asking kindly: "Hungry, haven't had dinner yet, right?"

"No, the wonton shop is closed today, nowhere to eat." Li Heng was starving, and as soon as he put down his luggage, he hurriedly drilled into the kitchen.

Seeing a bowl of long beans on the stove, he simply washed his hands, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and started eating vigorously.

"Slow down, eat slowly, Grandma will stir-fry some bacon for you." Li Heng is the only male descendant of the old Li family, and he is Grandma's heart and soul, usually the most treasured; she didn't plan to stir-fry meat, but now she immediately picked up a knife and climbed onto the stove.

With meat to eat, Li Heng naturally wouldn't refuse; anyway, he has money in his pocket, no panic, we can afford it, eat as much as you want, this is the confidence of having earned money.

After eating half a bowl of long beans, Li Heng felt his stomach was a bit more solid, so he ran to the brick kiln to help.

Seeing his son with delicate skin and tender flesh coming to do rough work, Tian Run'e wanted to stop him, but thinking of her second daughter and eldest son-in-law who had been busy day and night this month, the words on her lips changed:

"Manzai, go put on a pair of gloves, these bricks are rough, easy to grind the skin, affecting your writing."

Li Heng looked and found that his second sister and eldest brother-in-law were both wearing gloves; there was nothing to say, so he returned home to get a pair of gloves.

After exchanging pleasantries with his eldest brother-in-law, Li Heng came to Li Lan's side: "Second sister, it's almost September, is your work settled?"

Li Lan said: "Settled, at the City People's Hospital, I'll leave in 5 days, help finish this kiln of bricks first."

It's the same job as in the previous life, but Li Heng knew that this sister had a heart higher than the sky, and wouldn't stay in the hospital for long before transferring to the Finance Bureau. Don't ask how she got there, if you ask, it's the way the man's family thought of.

After dinner, Li Heng found his big shorts and headed straight for the dam.

Regardless of the young wives and old sisters-in-law threshing rice in the fields nearby, he plunged into the river dam, swam several meters in the water before coming up to change his breath.

Wow! The water in his hometown is still comfortable, cool, and clean, and he finally got rid of the greasiness on his body.

The old sister-in-law stretched her neck and said with a dirty joke: "Big writer, you're so big, hurry up and find a wife."

Li Heng was speechless, hurriedly squatted into the water, and looked down into the clear river water.

Damn it! The capital is indeed too sufficient, the wet pants can't hold it at all, it's too damn contoured.

The young wife was different; she peeked and hurriedly turned her head away, a thought popping into her mind: so well-endowed, whoever becomes his wife in the future must be happy to death.

Every evening in summer, the men who have rested love to come to the river to take a bath; this is easy, and they can wash thoroughly; generation after generation, it has almost become a tradition.

Sure enough, not long after, the dim-witted one also came with soap, grinning and splashing in the river, the water splashing high and high.

After 8 o'clock in the evening, Li Heng went to visit his second uncle, and by the way, inquired about Yang Yingwen's news.

Two days ago, Yang Yingwen returned to the village once; fearing that Yang's father would cause trouble, Xiao Han and Wei Shiman specifically accompanied him; after handling the household registration and other related procedures, they left and didn't spend the night at home.

This made Yang's father so angry that he broke more than a dozen bowls and smashed an iron pot afterward.

No matter how Yang's mother tried to pull him, she was beaten instead; listening to the second uncle, this pitiful woman cried secretly until late at night.

Li Heng asked: "Didn't anyone pull the fight?"

"How could no one pull? If they didn't pull, the head would probably be broken, and there would be a life lawsuit." The second uncle bit the cigarette holder and said with disgust:

"This Second Dog is unreasonable, and Xiao Si probably won't come back after he dies in the future, he won't have a good end."

Second Dog refers to Yang's father.

Xiao Si is Yang Yingwen's nickname.

This was really said by the second uncle; every family has a scripture that is hard to read, but it is rare to be so self-destructive to the point of Yang's father; he was desolate in his later years and died on the bed, and Yang Yingwen, who was worth hundreds of millions, didn't come back to see him, let alone spend a red thread to treat his illness.

Of course, this is also because the era didn't keep up; if it were in the information-exploding society of later generations, Yang's father would have to shamelessly go to court to sue Yang Yingwen.

On the morning of the 29th, Li Heng greeted the dim-witted one, rode the 28-inch bicycle, first to the brigade headquarters, then to the town police station.

The post office and the police station are next to each other; as soon as the bicycle stopped, they ran into old classmate Yangcheng, who shouted excitedly:

"Old Heng, Zhang Zhiyong, are you also here to handle the household registration transfer certificate?"

Zhang Zhiyong walked over and hugged the other party, saying with difficulty: "Damn your grandfather, Yangcheng, did you grow up eating urea? Why are you heavy again?"

"Hehe, I eat and drink at home every day, don't do anything, so I got fat." Yangcheng touched his small fat belly, but didn't care at all.

Li Heng asked: "Old Yang, where did you get admitted?"

Yangcheng said: "A university in Shanghai."

Zhang Zhiyong ridiculed him: "Yo hey, why go to Shanghai, didn't you say you were sure to get into Renmin University?"

Yangcheng patted his chest and indicated: "Originally it was Renmin University, but later I felt that the capital was not as good as Shanghai, so when Renmin University called, I refused; I said hey! I don't want to come to your Renmin University anymore, move my file to the second choice, and they obediently did as I said."

This funny guy is a drama queen, Li Heng found it funny, "As expected of Old Yang, with one phone call, even Renmin University has to give face."

"That's it! That's it! Renmin University doesn't even look at what kind of person I am, the friends I make are all big writers." Yangcheng followed the two into the police station with a grin.

In this day and age, college students in small towns are as rare as giant pandas. Especially after the police station staff saw Li Heng's information, they were even more polite, and poured three cups of tea; although they couldn't talk about fawning, they didn't neglect at all, and the certificate was written and stamped in between laughter and talk, and it was done in less than 20 minutes.

Coming out of the police station, Li Heng suddenly asked: "Eh, by the way, Old Yang, aren't you from the same place as Xiao Feng, why are you the only one here today?"

"I wasn't home a while ago, Xiao Feng and the others have already left." Yangcheng replied.

"Left? Went to Peking University?" Li Heng asked in a daze.

"Isn't it, they left without even saying hello, they didn't treat me as a friend at all, I must get her drunk when I come back next winter vacation." Yangcheng was indignant.

Hearing this, a bad premonition suddenly rose in Li Heng's heart, and he turned around and walked quickly to the post office next door to inquire with the staff inside.

Sure enough, Wei Shiman was gone, she asked for leave, saying she was sending her daughter to school.

Not giving up, Li Heng dialed Xiao Han's home phone, but three times in a row, no one answered.

Yangcheng said on the side: "Old Heng, if you are looking for Xiao Han, then don't waste your effort, their family of three left yesterday afternoon, and together with them were Yang Yingwen and Xiao Feng's family."

Zhang Zhiyong asked: "Who did you hear that from?"

Yangcheng said: "Zou Aiming, he also didn't get into Renmin University and is preparing to go to Changsha to read university.

I went to their house this morning, he ran into Xiao Han and her group leaving by car when he came to town to handle household registration transfer procedures yesterday."

This...!

This is unreasonable; they agreed to come back to pick her up, and this dark-bellied girl actually left by herself?

Li Heng was depressed for a long time before he was relieved.

Actually, picking her up or not is about the same, it's just a form of attitude.

Anyway, with the degree to which Wei Shiman and her husband treasure their daughter, and Shanghai being so far from home, they must personally send her to school. Even if they went together, there wouldn't be much time to be alone on the road.

Unless the two clarify the relationship.

Will they clarify?

Are they willing to clarify?

Li Heng definitely has no problem, definitely very willing, but Xiao Han is a person who has a perfect pursuit of love and will not agree so easily.

So...

Leaving the post office, the three went to Qian Yuejin's wonton shop to eat wontons, but the landlady wasn't there today, and her daughter was helping out.

The same wontons, the same recipe, the same soup, but it didn't taste like that when eaten in the mouth, sigh, damn it, next time I see Xiao Han, I must fix her well.

After returning from town, Li Heng didn't read a single word, focusing on working in the brick kiln.

The closer the school day, the more panicked he felt in his heart; that sense of detachment suddenly disappeared, and he became more and more reluctant to leave.

In his previous life, he was young and ignorant, fearless, only wanting to escape this poor countryside to see the outside prosperous world, and left with ambition as soon as he got the admission notice, until he was old and started to reflect: the lights of his hometown are on, did he see a way out? Or did he see the way home?

People, falling leaves returning to their roots is really not just talk; only after being old once can one realize how precious childhood and hometown are.

The night before leaving, Li Heng told Comrade Li Jianguo about the changes in Feng De's father and son in the county No. 1 Middle School; Li Jianguo listened and was silent for a long time, finally took out wine, stir-fried a plate of peanuts, a cabbage, and took out a bowl of altar vegetables, saying:

"You are leaving for school tomorrow, let's have a drink as a family tonight."

Saying that, he filled wine for Tian Run'e, Li Lan, Li Heng, and the eldest brother-in-law, while the eldest sister drank water during the lactation period, and the family talked and drank warmly until late at night.
