Chapter 105 Returning Home Again
The next day, after lunch, Xu Damao went to the station to buy a ticket, while Li Kangri and Sha Zhu went to Li Huaide's house with their things.
When they arrived at Li Huaide's home, they received a warm reception. After telling Li Huaide about the parental leave, Li Huaide readily agreed and promised them to go back and communicate with other departments and he would definitely get it done for them.
After dinner in the evening, Sha Zhu moved all the leftovers to his own kitchen and told Yu Shui that he could eat them for the next few days. He then left some money for He Yu Shui and went back.
Early the next morning, several people locked the door and were ready to go out with their bags.
At the door, Yan Fugui was shocked and anxious when he saw this scene, so he asked quickly, "Xiao Li, what are you three masters and apprentices doing with all these bags? Are you going to leave our yard?"
"Uncle, let's go back to our master's house to pick up our master's wife." Xu Damao said with a smile.
"Is that so? Haha," Yan Fugui said with a smile, "It turns out that Xiao Li has a wife! I wanted to introduce her to you! Our school has recently hired a nice female teacher. What a pity."
"No! If you have any girls, you can introduce them to my junior brother! Right?" Xu Damao joked.
"Hey, it's not a good match for a teacher and a cook. If it were possible, I would have introduced them to each other a long time ago," said Yan Fugui.
Hearing this, Sha Zhu felt uncomfortable. "Uncle, I don't want her even if you introduce me to someone. My master has already picked her out for me. She's pretty, educated, and from the city. You can just wait to have a wedding banquet when you come back! Oh, no, I won't invite you. I'll make you so mad."
"Zhu Zi, don't joke with your third uncle. If you can get married, I, your third uncle, will give you a gift of ten yuan. Even if you don't invite me, I will still give you a gift." Yan Fugui said.
"I say, senior brother, Lou Xiao'e, you must have heard it carefully! This is what the third uncle said himself. If you don't keep your word, you are a dog, a wild dog." Sha Zhu shouted.
"Okay, let's go. Where are we going to catch the car?"
……
Soon they boarded the train back home. Along the way, except for the Li siblings, the other three were extremely excited and kept admiring the beautiful scenery of their motherland through the window.
After two days, the train finally arrived at the ancient capital. After getting off the train, the three people were excited again and enjoyed buying this and that.
"Master, thanks to you, this is the first time I've traveled so far away. This place is nice! Not much worse than the old city." Sha Zhu said.
"Junior brother, I think you just haven't read enough books. This is called the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Do you know everything about the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties?" Xu Damao said contemptuously.
"Hey, I didn't have any education, but I'm learning a skill. Don't show off. It's great that I learned a few words. I won't argue with you today. I don't have time." Sha Zhu retorted.
After resting for a night in the ancient capital, the group finally caught the bus home. Once they arrived at the county town, they were shocked by the environment there.
There were beggars everywhere wearing tattered clothes, and they looked so pitiful. Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but take out money and give them money.
This scene attracted all the beggars to run over here.
In the end, it was only after Li Kangri shouted a few times in his hometown dialect that the beggars reluctantly dispersed.
"Xiao Li, why is it so poor here? There are so many beggars. It's so different from the old city." Lou Xiao'e asked.
"Haha, Sister Xiao'e, you don't understand. It's like this here. Every year at this time, until the crops are harvested, there are beggars everywhere. Especially in the past two years, many people in our village have gone out to beg for food!" Li Qinghe explained.
"Is that so?" Lou Xiao'e sighed.
"My eldest lady, you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, how can you understand the sufferings of the world? Look at the people here, how do they compare to Jia Zhang?" Li Kangri joked, "And Shazhu, you also say something, look at the people here, these are the ones who should be helped."
"Haha, Master is making fun of me again. But the people here are suffering so much. They can barely walk steadily. They must be hungry." Sha Zhu analyzed.
"That is."
"Sister Xiao'e, what about you? Do you have any feelings? Do you think this landlord should be fought against?" Li Kangri said with a smile.
"I don't know." Lou Xiao'e said angrily.
"You don't dare to say it, so! If these situations continue to accumulate, they will soon explode. Do you think the rich will have an easier time then?" Li Kangri pointed out.
"This..." Lou Xiao'e was speechless.
"Okay, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some things to bring back!" Li Kangri said to Li Qinghe, "Buy more flour and meat. Take them back to nourish our grandparents and mom. There are also things for the wedding. Let's get them all at once. It's cold now, so they won't go bad." As he spoke, Li Kangri stuffed a handful of money and bills into Qinghe's hands.
Soon after buying the things, they waited on the road. After a lot of effort, they met a passing ox cart. After giving the driver one dollar, they sat in the ox cart and went home.
"Master, your hometown is so poor that there is not even a shuttle bus." Xu Damao sighed on the ox cart.
"Who has the money to take the bus? There is an old saying in our hometown, going out basically relies on legs, and communicating basically relies on shouting. Look at the two hills over there, one on each side. They can communicate by shouting, but it will take at least half a day to walk over there." Li Kangri said.
"Hehe, is this how Xintianyou came about?" Xu Damao said.
"Maybe, but I don't know."
"Master Qinghe, why don't you say a few words to me? Let me feel it." Xu Damao looked at Li Qinghe and asked.
"Yes! Qinghe, please say a few words." Lou Xiao'e echoed.
"Then say a few words?" Qinghe said with a smile. She felt much more relaxed after coming to her hometown.
"The one on the opposite mountain..."
……
Along the way, Qinghe sang heartily, and soon the ox cart arrived at the entrance of the village.
When they arrived at the village entrance, Qinghe's singing reached the ears of Wang Yue, who was waiting for Li Kangri to return at the village entrance.
After hearing the sound, Wang Yue excitedly shouted to the house, "Dad, Mom, the anti-Japanese brother is back, the anti-Japanese brother is back." After that, he ran quickly to the village entrance.
"This damn girl is crazy about men. She is just insane and possessed." The Queen Mother scolded.
"My dear wife, you're right, I seem to hear the voice of Qinghe singing. Please listen carefully." Wang Tianchang said.
"Yes, it seems so, it's true!" Queen Mother listened and said, "Hurry, old man, go and have a look." After that, Queen Mother also ran out.
"Anti-Japanese brother..."
Just as a few people got off the ox cart to get their things, Wang Yue shouted while running.
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Kangri turned around with a smile on his face, then opened his arms to the girl who was running towards him, and soon the two of them were hugging each other.
"What's going on? Is this my master's wife?" Xu Damao asked puzzledly.
"It doesn't look that good! It seems a bit rustic. Master is just bragging." Sha Zhu said to Xu Damao in a low voice.
"Bullshit, who is the Master? Isn't he wrapped up tightly? His true appearance hasn't been revealed yet!" Xu Damao also said weakly.
After the two of them spent some time together as if no one was around, Li Kangri finally let go of her hand and introduced them with a smile, "Yuer, these are my two apprentices, and this is my apprentice's wife, Sister Xiao'e."
After hearing the introduction, the three of them looked at Wang Yue’s tightly wrapped head in confusion.
"Hey, this is a kind of square scarf here, called a baojin. It is very common in the north. It is a must-have for women here. Yue'er, take it down!" Li Kangri explained.
After hearing what Li Kangri said, Wang Yue slowly took off her scarf.
