Chapter 553

Chen Xingbang avoided several villagers without any danger, didn't let Chen Zhanggui and the others see him, and arrived at Li Lou.

Here, after Li Qing Xia heard Li Xia tell the story in the courtyard, he was so angry that he scolded Chen Zhanggui for not being a person, and was angry that he was blind to form a marriage with this family.

Li Xia hurriedly distinguished for Chen Xingbang:

"Dad, Xingbang is different from his dad..."

"I know he is different, if he were the same, could I allow you two to be together?"

In the past two days, Li Qing Xia had also handled the family affairs almost. The courtyard was entrusted to Li Junfeng to take care of, and the few fen of land of his own was also given to him to plant. Li Qing Xia didn't want the harvested food, which was considered the cost of watching the courtyard.

Li Junfeng was very willing to do this. Although he had a family, he couldn't go to Northern Xinjiang, but he knew that it was easy to earn money in Northern Xinjiang, and Uncle Li Long was very capable. Being able to get involved with them was always a good thing.

Li Junfeng already knew that Li Junshan had entered the Jian'an Company and became a formal worker, and he had not regretted it in his midnight dreams. However, it was too late to say regret now.

When Li Qing Xia was cleaning up the courtyard, Li Junshan's father came over, called him uncle, and asked about Li Junshan's situation. Li Junshan had sent money and telegrams home, but the family didn't know the specific situation.

Li Qing Xia told in detail how Li Long took Li Anguo and Li Junshan to the Kuitun Construction Installation Company. The tone of his speech was quite proud, after all, this matter was arranged by Li Long from beginning to end.

Li Junshan's father Li Xingguo also quietly told Li Qing Xia that the political review letter investigation sent back by Li Anguo's unit was made by several boys in the brigade, who said a lot of bad things.

"Useless things!" Li Qing Xia scolded angrily, but then laughed again:

"They thought this could ruin Anguo's business? Nonsense! People want to see actual performance! Anguo is doing well there, and now he is a formal worker, let them be jealous!"

Li Qing Xia went to pile up soil on the ancestral grave, cleared the grass, burned ten knives of yellow paper, and set off a thousand-sound firecracker.

Many families in the village rolled their own cigarettes during the Chinese New Year, and Li Qing Xia could also roll them, but he didn't have the time, so he went to the store to buy firecrackers.

Everyone in the village knew that the old man was back, and many people followed him. After all, if this branch is counted from the old man himself, the blood relatives have all gone to Northern Xinjiang.

But counting up one generation, he is the eldest of this branch, and there are other branches in the village.

There are many more in the village in the generation above.

In fact, the ancestral grave of his branch was separated three generations before him. Otherwise, there would be no land to bury in the old ancestral grave. This forms a large triangle from the big grave three generations above, arranged downwards, and branched downwards.

This ancestral grave is in Li Qing Xia's own land, so he doesn't worry about others. In fact, this point was considered when the land was divided, and he specifically greeted the team headquarters. Other families could understand, so it was done like this.

After rounding the grave, burning paper, setting off firecrackers, and explaining to the ancestors, Li Qing Xia could rest assured to go to Northern Xinjiang. It will be enough to come back once or twice in the next year.

When Li Xia came over, he had already finished the work. After listening to Li Xia finish the story, Li Qing Xia thought that Chen Xingbang was still reliable, otherwise this matter would not be over!

When Chen Xingbang came over, Li Xia meant to eat before leaving, Li Qing Xia was a little embarrassed. The house was cold, and he had been making do with it for the past two days. If he really wanted to eat, he would have to spend some effort.

"Why bother with that trouble?" Chen Xingbang waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go directly to the county, and eat in the county!"

He was very heroic, and Li Qing Xia was not bad either. When his son-in-law said this, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, go to the county to eat! I'll treat you to dinner, let our Hongqin eat something good! Hongqin, go to the county today"

"I want to eat meat!" Hongqin said boldly.

"Okay, just eat meat, you can eat as much as you want then!" Li Qing Xia thought of the grandchildren in Northern Xinjiang, even Xueping and Li Xue Qin who went later had grown white and fat, with red faces, but this Hongqin looked thin and small now.

It really hurts.

Li Qing Xia originally wanted to wait, but since Chen Xingbang came and the matter was finished, let's go.

The whole family walked out of the village together. Some people in the village greeted and asked, and Li Qing Xia didn't avoid saying that he was going back to Northern Xinjiang.

Those people were only envious. Looking at the old man's mental state, how could he look like someone over sixty? It's much better than it was in this village.

Li Xia held the child, and Li Qing Xia took her over. Chen Xingbang and Li Xia carried the bags, chatting and walking towards the township.

Li Qing Xia walked in front and talked to Hongqin about the fresh things in Northern Xinjiang, Li Xia whispered to Chen Xingbang:

"Should we pay for the meal later? Is Dad's money enough?"

"You underestimate Dad." Chen Xingbang said with a smile:

"In the summer, Dad and a friend of Without Xiao Long in the village caught fish, and he could earn twenty or thirty a day! Let me tell you, Dad has a lot of money. At home, the eldest brother and Without Xiao Long bought everything that should be bought, and he has nowhere to spend money. The village there doesn't play cards, so he saves all the money."

Li Xia was relieved. If you want to eat meat until you are full, it will cost a lot of money.

An hour later, they stopped a car in the township and rushed to the neighboring Yongcheng County—the county here is actually quite far from this township, it is better to take a train in the neighboring county.

Near the train station, the four of them ordered two plates of braised pork, didn't eat much rice, and all ate meat.

Hongqin ate a bowl by herself—which scared Li Qing Xia. It's not that it's not enough, mainly because he was afraid of eating too much and getting a stomachache. That thing, no matter how delicious it is, it's not easy to digest if you eat too much!

It was also said and persuaded, saying that you can eat it every day when you arrive in Northern Xinjiang—this is not coaxing the baby, with Chen Xingbang's current situation, eating braised pork every day is really easy to achieve.

After Hongqin was full, she fell asleep. Li Xia held her, and Chen Xingbang went to buy tickets, for the evening. There was nothing to do in the afternoon, but they were not in the mood to turn around here, just wanting to get on the train quickly and rush to Northern Xinjiang.

At this time, Chen Xingbang and Li Qing Xia both didn't realize that they had actually regarded that piece of Northern Xinjiang and those two courtyards as their real home.

After finally waiting until the evening, they bought food before getting on the train and had another meal. This time Hongqin didn't ask for meat. After getting on the train, they found their seats and settled down, and then began to look forward to it.

The next day, people who got up relatively early suddenly found that Niu Jia Wei Guo appeared in Chen Xingbang's courtyard, and was still repairing and cleaning up some unwanted things from inside.

The neighbor asked curiously:

"Jia Wei Guo, what are you doing?"

"Cleaning up the house." Niu Jia Wei Guo and his wife both had smiles on their faces, this is their own home. Although it is not a brick house, it is an independent courtyard, which is much better than a room in a brick house courtyard.

"Isn't this Xingbang's home? Why are you cleaning it up?" The neighbor suddenly didn't understand.

"Xingbang sold it to me." Niu Jia Wei Guo explained with a smile, anyway, Chen Xingbang said it was a day's time, and now people have left by train early, right?

"What? He moved away?"

"That's right, the whole family went to Northern Xinjiang."

This news soon spread throughout the village. Chen Zhanggui didn't know in the fields. His younger son Chen Qiangguo, who was pretending to be uncomfortable and staying at home, heard the news from the neighbor, and didn't say he was uncomfortable anymore. He ran quickly to the fields, saw Chen Zhanggui, and shouted loudly:

"Dad! Dad! My brother ran away with my sister-in-law!"

"Ran away? Where did he run?" Chen Zhanggui asked.

"Where else can he run? He ran to Northern Xinjiang!"

"It's good that he ran, isn't the courtyard and land ours?" Shen Yujuan took the words at the head of the field and said with a smile.

"He sold it!" Chen Qiangguo said with a mournful face.

"What sold?" Chen Zhanggui asked hurriedly.

"Courtyard! Land! All sold!"

"Sold to whom? Go find him! Who dares to buy it?" Shen Yujuan is not a person to be trifled with, and stood up all at once.

"Niu Jia Wei Guo!" Chen Qiangguo didn't dare to find trouble with others, and said with a pulled face, "People are cleaning up in the courtyard!"

"Then why don't you chase your brother?" Chen Zhanggui heard that it was sold to Niu Jia Wei Guo's family, and he really dared to find them. People have three brothers!

"My brother left yesterday!" Chen Qiangguo said, "Yesterday my sister-in-law took the child to Li Lou first, actually she wanted to leave, my brother went to the team headquarters to stamp the seal, saying that he would be a worker in the future!"

"Worker? Where is he a worker?" Chen Zhanggui's head boomed, this was beyond his expectations.

"Don't know, said it's somewhere in Stone City?"

"That's nonsense! Isn't Stone City Jinling? That's in the east!" Chen Zhanggui felt that his son was talking nonsense.

But thinking about it, he couldn't find him back. Now, he really lost his son, lost his courtyard, and had nothing left.

He sat slowly on the field ridge.

Thinking that his eldest son had become a worker, while his younger son, whom he had always favored, was still lazy.

What kind of thing did he do!

Li Qing Xia and Chen Xingbang took care of Li Xia and Hongqin to take the train all the way to Wucheng. After getting off the train, Li Qing Xia said with a smile:

"This journey is better than the last one. Last time we had to take care of two children, and it was after the year, that guy, the train was crowded... This trip has empty seats, it's really comfortable!"

Li Xia and Hongqin looked at everything around them curiously.

Empty, few people, some people speak languages they don't understand.

Chen Xingbang looked at their expressions and said with a smile:

"It's okay now, just after a few rounds, the pickpockets and those who don't do proper things have been caught." Although Li Qing Xia was in the village, he heard Li Long say that this is actually the best time for public security.

After eating at the train station, they went to the Bayi Guest House to buy tickets and rushed to Maxian by car.

They didn't send a telegram to Li Long's side before getting on the train. Li Long also knew that his father and brother-in-law couldn't stay in his hometown for long. When they came back to the county, they would definitely be able to find his home.

After he came back from Wucheng, he stayed in the big courtyard, and didn't stay away from other times except for eating every day, just to guard against his father and the others coming back and being afraid of not finding anyone.

Li Qing Xia and the others got off the bus, came out of the bus station, and went straight to Li Long's big courtyard.

"Without Xiao Long has a big courtyard in the county." Chen Xingbang explained to Li Xia, "We went to Wucheng together, he stayed in the big courtyard after coming back from Wucheng."

"That big courtyard is imposing, the old rich man in the township didn't live as well as that. His wife works in the county, a government cadre..."

"I know that." Li Xia held Hongqin and interrupted, "Surname Gu, right? Can I see her today?"

"That's not known." Chen Xingbang hadn't seen her many times, mainly because Gu Xiaoxia had to go to work and could only come back in the afternoon. He actually thought about taking Li Xia and Hongqin directly to his big courtyard in Stone City, but Li Qing Xia didn't allow it.

How can that work? Not seeing his mother, brother, and younger brother and running away?

!.

Chen Xingbang had no opinion. After all, even if he has a foothold now, it is with Li Long's help, otherwise he couldn't even find the courtyard—such a big courtyard, if it weren't for Li Long having a unit, could the street rent it to him?

Arriving at the big courtyard, seeing the door was not locked, Li Qing Xia smiled and said:

"Without Xiao Long is at home. Without Xiao Long!" He shouted loudly.

"Coming!" Li Long was cleaning up the small vegetable garden in the courtyard, and when he heard the movement, he ran to the door to open it.

Li Xia looked at the pattern of this high-door big household and believed Chen Xingbang's words. This is indeed not a courtyard that ordinary people can live in.

The door opened, Li Long shouted:

"Dad, brother-in-law, sister!"

Li Xia was stunned for a moment, Li Long had already touched Hongqin's head and said:

"You are Hongqin, right? I am your little uncle, go, go, go, enter the courtyard, I have a gift for you!"

"Hongqin, call little uncle." Chen Xingbang said hurriedly.

On the way, Hongqin was very sticky to Chen Xingbang and listened to him very much. She looked at Li Long, and then shouted: "Little uncle."

After shouting, she hid behind Li Xia. Li Xia smiled and pulled her and said:

"This is little uncle, he is my younger brother, don't be afraid."

Hongqin still couldn't understand, but knew that this was a very close person.

Li Xia saw the tractor parked in the courtyard at a glance.

This tractor is indeed big, unlike the one in Niu Jia Wei Guo's family that has two hand-pushed poles, this one is more like the iron ox on the painting.

The younger brother is really successful.

Several people entered the courtyard, Li Long asked Li Xia:

"Sister, during the time my brother-in-law was not here, Dad and Second Brother were not here, you were wronged, right?"

Although Li Long hadn't been in his hometown for some years, he knew the character of many people in his hometown. There are quite a few people who are jealous of others, and there are quite a few people who have red-eye disease. Look at Li Anguo's political review letter investigation.

Listening to his younger brother's concerned words, Li Xia's eyes turned red, and Chen Xingbang took the words:

"It's just that some people don't want us to be good. After going back, I cleaned up those people beautifully, and the courtyard and land were sold. I won't go back in the future, this home is in Northern Xinjiang!"

Li Long didn't continue to ask about this, he knew that his sister might recall memories again.

He took the teapot out of the room first, poured a bowl of tea for everyone, including Hongqin. Putting the teapot back, seeing Hongqin still staring at himself, he smiled and took a large toy doll from behind and said:

"Hongqin, look, do you like it or not?"

Hongqin turned her head to look at Chen Xingbang, and then looked at Li Xia.

Both of them didn't speak, looking at her with a smile.

"Like." Hongqin turned her head and said a little shyly.

"If you like it, take it!" Li Long wouldn't be like some people in later generations, who would tempt the child to call out before giving the toy. He directly handed this toy doll, which was half the size of Hongqin, to her.

This is the largest doll Li Long could buy.

"Is your wife still at work?" Chen Xingbang asked while drinking tea.

"Hmm," Li Long said, "only on Sunday. Let's wait a while, wait for her to get off work, let her see sister, and then I will drive the tractor to take you to the team."

"Little uncle, is this tractor of yours real?" Hongqin held the doll and asked boldly.

"Of course it's real. When Hongqin grows up a bit, she can learn to drive it."

"Heh, how can a child drive?" Li Xia thought Li Long was joking.

"How can it not be driven?" Li Long said, "The eldest brother's Juan can drive it. It's just that she drives less, and Hongqin can drive when she grows up."

It is not uncommon for rural girls to drive tractors. Maybe it can't be started, but there is no big problem driving it. After all, this thing is not difficult to operate, and it is sturdy. If it really turns over, it can basically still be started after being lifted up.

Li Qing Xia put down the tea bowl and stood up, turning around to look at the courtyard, and said:

"Without Xiao Long, it's not easy to clean up this courtyard of yours."

"Not easy... By the way, Hongqin, there is a nest of hedgehogs in this courtyard, do you want to find it?"

"Hedgehog? What hedgehog?" Hongqin had never seen a hedgehog.

The big hedgehog brought back from the mountains gave birth to a nest of five small hedgehogs after staying in the courtyard for a period of time, which surprised Li Long.

He didn't pay much attention to it usually, but now that it had cubs, he had to take care of it. After the deer was sent away, Li Long fed it something from time to time. In general, the hedgehogs were not very afraid of people now, and the small hedgehogs were the same.

Hongqin ran to find the hedgehogs excitedly, while Li Long went into the room and hugged a big watermelon out.

"Without Xiao Long, you only hugged the watermelon out after I was full of tea, this is not wanting me to eat melon." Chen Xingbang joked.

Li Xia hit him, her younger brother is not such a person.

"This is not thinking that you walked those roads, and just eating watermelon would cool your stomach." Li Long used the health knowledge from his previous life, not knowing if it was right, and used it habitually.

He cut the big watermelon, one piece for each person, and took two pieces to find Hongqin.

Hongqin had already found a small hedgehog in the corner of the side room and was staring at the little guy there.

"Hongqin, eat watermelon."

"Hey!" Having watermelon to eat, Hongqin immediately forgot about the little guy and turned to take the watermelon.

In the hometown, there is not much watermelon to eat.

The initial sense of strangeness slowly disappeared, and Li Xia and her younger brother Li Long talked more and more.

They took a car and a train, and after taking the train, they took a car, in a hurry, and only now can they be considered relaxed.

Li Long simply let them all go into the room to squint for a while, but was refused by Li Qing Xia. After all, the daughter-in-law will be back in a while, what does it look like if several people are asleep?

Then chat in the courtyard. Li Long took a wolf bone for Hongqin, mainly worried that the wolf tooth would scare the child, but didn't expect Hongqin was not afraid of the wolf tooth, and she liked the wolf tooth even more.

Then he gave a bone and a pair of teeth.

"Sister, when you have time, give it a rope and wear it. I just drilled a hole, and haven't tied the rope yet."

"Good, good, good." Li Xia had already heard from Chen Xingbang that this was to ward off evil spirits, and said hurriedly.

The sun slanted west, and Gu Xiaoxia came back from work.

ps: First explain, I went to sleep after posting in the early morning, and took a look at the mobile phone when cooking for the child in the morning, only to find that it was audited, but I couldn't use the computer at that time, so I couldn't change it. When I came back to change it, I found it was unbanned. In the future, if I don't say it in advance, I will usually post two chapters after zero o'clock.

Of course, some people want to add more, I really don't have that ability and motivation. Two chapters and ten thousand words a day, I think I am already quite diligent, (ps doesn't count as money) (End of chapter)
