Chapter 31 Returning to Her Mother's Home
The fourth uncle thought about it for a while and agreed with his third uncle's opinion, "I think we can ask the people from Qijiawohut in Hexi to help. This road is built and it is convenient for them to walk."
Qijia Hut is Zhang Lang's grandfather, and Zhang Lang's grandfather is the old secretary of Qijia Hut. Now he has retired to retire.
The third uncle added: "Call the people from the Liu family in Dongshan. They will not be able to walk less if this road is opened. At most, the Erli Mountain Road connecting the two villages will be opened together."
The fourth uncle nodded, "Okay, so the Liu family will ask Jianjun to call him, Qi family shacking..."
Zhang Jianjun's father-in-law is the secretary of the Liu family, so he can speak even if he goes there.
"I'll go to Qijia Hut. I haven't been to see my grandma and grandpa when I come back this time." Zhang Lang took the speech and said.
"Okay, then that's the matter. The wolf cub goes to Qi's shack and Jianjun goes to Liu's family." The fourth uncle concluded at last.
"My third uncle, please keep an eye on the ones that open the mountain and build the road tomorrow. I guess it will not be too early to come back. Don't waste the stones that open the mountain, and transport them back to the village to put them on first." Zhang Lang explained again.
"What do you want it to do... Is there still a shortage of stones in our village? It takes too much effort to transport it back, so it saves more trouble when it is pulled down the cliff." The third uncle said with some dissatisfaction.
"Our mountain is full of big bluestone. Have you forgotten the skills of your Dong family? If it is made into a stone sculpture, it can be exchanged for foreign exchange." Zhang Lang explained with a smile.
"Can foreigners ask for our stone sculpture?" my third uncle asked in disbelief.
"Of course I want it. Stone sculptures are works of art. They are crafts passed down by our ancestors. They can be exchanged for a lot of foreign exchange." Zhang Lang said with a smile.
"Then the relationship is good, okay, I'll ask them to transport all the stones back in the future." When I heard that I could really exchange foreign exchange, my third uncle no longer complained.
…………
After dinner, when he returned home, Zhang's father had not come back yet. Zhang's mother was sitting on the kang with her godmother and sitting on the needlework. Tang Feifei was also learning along the way. The three women didn't know what to say, and Tang Feifei blushed like an apple.
Seeing Zhang Lang coming in, Tang Feifei was obviously a little panicked and got up and ran to the outer room.
Zhang Lang didn't think much about it, and went to the kang and said to Zhang's mother: "Mom, I'll go to my grandmother's house tomorrow. Do you want to go together?"
"Why do you suddenly want to go to your house? You are so busy now, can you make time?" Zhang's mother asked with her head raised.
"This is not that there is not enough staff for road construction. I went to Qijia shack to find some staff. I thought I just came back and took over the matter before I could see my grandma." Zhang Lang explained.
"Then the relationship is good, and I haven't been to see you for a long time." Zhang's mother narrowed her eyes happily.
In the past, my family was poor, and every time I went back to my parents' home, I didn't bring much, but when I came back, I always took back a lot of bags.
As time goes by, Zhang's mother was afraid that her sister-in-law would be unhappy, so she gradually returned to her mother's house less often.
This time her wolf cub came back. She got so much food, clothing and supplies back, and she could finally straighten her back and go back to her parents' home.
The happy mother Zhang didn't chat with her godmother anymore, and started to pack up what she would bring to her parents' house tomorrow.
"Wolf cub, pour half of this soybean oil for you!" Zhang's mother Zhang asked with a bucket of soybean oil.
There is no shortage of food in the mountains, but I want daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, because the transportation is inconvenient, it is very scarce.
Now Zhang Lang is in charge of the family, so Zhang’s mother also needs to consult Zhang Lang’s opinions.
"Mom, please bring all the soybean oil for me! I'll bring all the sugar with me, and I'll buy it in the town again."
"Well! Your grandma didn't love you in vain." Zhang's mother nodded happily.
"Mom, let's bring all the fabric I pulled for you last time to my grandma and aunt."
"Oh!" Zhang's mother agreed happily.
"Mom, I'll bring the Moutai liquor I've got back for my grandpa."
"Okay!" Zhang's mother nodded.
"There are also the labor cloth work clothes that Lao Su brought last time, and they were all brought to my uncle."
"I'll give it to your uncle, then what are you wearing?"
"Me? I still like to wear my military uniform!"
"Okay!" Zhang's mother nodded.
"mother……"
"Enough, a lot, and even more, you can't get it."
Zhang's mother began to feel a little distressed, and she had too many things to take.
"It's okay, I'll push it with a cart."
…………
The next morning, Zhang Lang pushed his mother and the things with a cart, crossing the river to the Qijia shack.
"Five mama, what are you doing?"
"Go back to my parents' home!"
"Bring so many things, Uncle Wolf is really capable!"
Along the way, Zhang's mother kept greeting people and talking loudly about her parents' home, and the smile on her face never stopped.
Come to the river and walk three or four miles to Qijiawo shack.
After entering the Qijia shack, Zhang's mother's smile became even more intense. She stopped making a car and walked down.
"Second aunt is busy!"
"Oh, the four girls are back, you haven't been here for a long time."
"Yes, Second Aunt, this wolf cub is back, come and see his grandma."
"Is this a wolf cub? I've grown so tall that I can't recognize it."
"Second grandma, are you and the second grandma quite strong?" Zhang Lang hurriedly stopped the car and replied. The person who said that it was Zhang Lang's second grandma.
The second grandpa and grandpa are brothers.
"Okay... OK! They are all very good."
"Bring so many things? The wolf cub is really promising." The second grandma looked at the things piled up with cars and exclaimed.
Zhang Lang hurriedly took out a pack of milk candy from the car, "Second grandma, you can take this pack of candy to your little nephews."
"Oh, hey! I can't do it, I can't do it." The second grandma refused.
"Second Aunt, please take it. The wolf cub ate a lot of food from your house when he was a child." Zhang's mother took the candy and stuffed it into her second grandma's arms.
"Hey! What a good young man! Follow the fourth girl, she looks so handsome!" The second grandma praised with candy.
"Second Aunt, please be busy first. I'll go home first and let's talk later."
Along the way, Zhang's mother kept stopping to say hello to others, and Zhang Lang also let her go, knowing that mother was not easy for years.
My family is not doing well and I can’t even raise my head in my parents’ home.
Zhang's mother greeted the man, and Zhang Lang took out the milk candy from the car and gave it to the other party to give his mother a face.
In this era, milk candy is a good thing. You can’t buy it even if you have money, you have to have a candy ticket.
Fortunately, I bought a lot of milk candy last time, so I bought out all the county supply and marketing cooperatives.
Finally arrived at Zhang Langmao's house. Zhang's mother stood outside the door and began to shout loudly, "Mom! Mom! I'm here to see you."
"You damn girl, do you still know how long it has been. If you don't come, I'll think about asking your brother to see you!" Grandma Zhang Lang ran out of the house and pulled Zhang's mother's hand and complained.
"Mom, see who is coming!" Zhang's mother held grandma's hand and said with a smile.
"Oh, my good grandson!" Zhang Lang's grandma let go of Zhang's mother and hugged Zhang Lang, "I miss you so much. Let me see. You're so tall. Have you eaten? My grandma cooks for you and stews your favorite roe deer meat for you."
"Madam, you are in good health!" Zhang Lang asked, holding his grandmother's hand.
"Okay... OK! Grandma and your grandpa are both well! They are strong!" Grandma Zhang Lang pulled Zhang Lang into the house.
Uncle Zhang Lang squatted on the threshold and smoked his tobacco pipe with a sad face.
"Uncle!" Zhang Lang shouted.
""The wolf cub is here!" Zhang Lang's uncle looked up and saw Zhang Lang with a smile on his face.:
