"Su Su is gone."

"Um."

Su Su looked back at the yard, feeling a little reluctant.

"Stop watching, I'll be back in a few days."

"Um."

Zhang Baosu nodded vigorously. She was used to living here. She went to school, went to the bamboo weaving factory to weave bamboo baskets, cooked with Xiaojuan, and waited for Li Dong to come back. She had long been used to this home and had long been thinking that this was her own home.

"Get in the car quickly, let's go there soon."

When he arrived at Chicheng courtyard, Huang Shengnan was already waiting. The goods brought back from Nanjing had been unloaded into the house, and the room was full of them. "There is goods on the transport team, Master Wang will go back first."

"Oh, it's okay."

I originally brought more items, but after thinking about it, I'd better forget it. It seemed too much to get two cars. I was not a cadre leader.

"You guys sit down and I'll sort out the things."

When I go out, I still have to bring some items. Besides, I have to bring some nonsense reasons. I must bring some gifts to the door. There are a lot of things that I have done. If I go to Zhang Baosu's house, Li Dong is a little hesitant about what to bring.

"Forget it, I won't bring more things. It's more convenient to bring food coupons, meat coupons and side food coupons."

"Do you want to bring two bicycle tickets and sewing tickets?"

"Take it with you, maybe it's useful."

In the end, Li Dong brought twenty kilograms of rice, thirty kilograms of white flour, ten kilograms of oil, some bacon, plus dried goods such as vermicelli, other gifts, milk, biscuits, and some pastries temporary and gadgets.

"alright."

The Bluebird's trunk was filled with a lot of things on the seats, including two quilts, washbasins and toiletries. "You sleep first, and I'll call you when you're at the place."

"Um."

Chicheng is away from the later generations of Huaihai, and it takes only three or four hours to drive on the highway. Now it is not enough, at least ten hours.

"It's okay, I'll chat with you."

Huang Shengnan smiled and said, "Su Su, you go to bed first."

"Then brother, sister-in-law, I'll go to bed first."

"sister in law?"

Li Dong and Huang Shengnan looked at each other and paused slightly. What about the two of them? They haven't obtained the certificate yet. They are quite embarrassed to issue a letter of introduction. According to Li Dong's idea, he really needs to get a certificate or something.

It’s not that Li Dong doesn’t want to get a certificate, but he mainly wants to wait until the photos can be posted on his marriage certificate. Now he gets a piece of paper and doesn’t feel like he has.

The car left Chicheng and had to pass the ferry to reach the other side of the river. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time to go around it. By the time the car arrived in Luzhou, it would be nearly half past.

"Get some food first."

Luzhou is not fat yet, and there are not even any old ladies, so I can only find a small restaurant to make do. The serious meals have passed, and there are not many people. "The food is gone?"

"There is only one tofu."

"The meat is sold out?"

"Then let's have some tofu and add more oil."

Li Dong ordered tofu, and there was another vegetable, and the other vegetables were gone. Fortunately, there was still rice. "Master, can you bring the vegetables in?"

"It's not possible in theory."

"I'll give you five cents, will you make it?"

"Okay."

In theory, it doesn't work, you can only give money. Li Dong feels that there is no problem. "You guys sit first, I'll go to the car to get some meat."

Li Dong took the braised venison and a self-sporting hotpot. He cut the venison and put it in a lunch box.

“Huh?”

"Why are there smoke?"

The rice came, one was tofu, one was vegetables, one was venison, and one was self-satisfied hot pot. Huang Shengnan's eyes lit up when he saw the hot pot. He really didn't expect that Li Dong was ready to be so rich.

“Try it.”

The self-heating hotpot is quite big. I bought it well and have all the ingredients. This guy is very spicy and feels comfortable to eat. Even the chef in charge of the restaurant couldn't help but take a few glances.

"What?"

I haven't seen it before, but I took a look at Li Dong, Huang Shengnan, Zhang Baosu and others, not from a big city, except for the ones I brought in, I spent a total of one pound and two bottles, plus 50 cents, which is not cheap.

I wanted to take a walk in Hefei, but I saw that there was nothing good to watch, so I drove straight to Huaihai. It was already dark when I got to the place. "Let's stay in Huaihai for one night first."

Fortunately, I found a place to open two houses, Huang Shengnan, Zhang Baosu and Li Dong. The house price is not cheap, and it costs 50 cents a night. The better thing is that the place is not bad.

It was clean, provided with hot water, waiting for the waiter to open the door, and a few people entered the room to clean up, it was quite clean. "Let's take a break first, and let's go out for dinner."

I have to go out to make some food early, but there is no twenty-four-hour restaurant now. After the time is over, the shop closes and I can only tinker with food by myself.

Huaihai City is now a famous coal city. It has a very good heavy industry and a certain foundation in the chemical industry. It is considered a wealthy city. "It's quite good here."

"Well enough."

When I came to the hotel, there were many people, and the salary of coal workers was not low. At that time, the average salary of 30 or 40 was still good.

“Order a few hot dishes.”

Finally, there were hot meat and vegetables. I ordered a few dishes, had a good meal, fell asleep, and set off to Zhang Baosu's house the next day. Li Dong and Zhang Baosu's sister were quite far away from Huaihai City, at the corner.

“This road is too bad.”

After leaving the city, the road is getting worse and worse. I often encounter cars transporting coal on the road. The road is not very good, and with these cars, it is even more bumpy.

Fortunately, I didn't encounter a disaster, and I came to Zhang Baosu's house with a rush. It was already noon now. You should know that Li Dong and the others set off at around six o'clock, and they had been walking for five or six hours.

When he arrived at the intersection of Zhangjiazhuang Road, Li Dong parked his car. The road into Zhuangzi was not easy to walk. Maybe it had just rained and the road was a little muddy. Now there is no access to every village. The cement ground is very normal on rainy days.

"Brother, let's accompany you." Seeing Zhang Baosu's feelings for the countryside, Li Dong whispered.

Zhangjiazhuang and Li Dong's hometown are only more than ten miles apart. This is the Huaihai Plain, with no mountains and endless heaven and earth. Now in April, the production team is usually busy in the wheat fields. Of course, not only wheat, but others.

Li Dong saw the planting of hemp. This kind of hemp can be made of hemp rope by peeling it. It was a tight thing at that time, and the poles can be used to make some daily necessities, boiling pots, and of course to make torches. This was Li Dong’s favorite thing during the Mid-Autumn Festival when he was a child.

The group came to Zhangjiazhuang. The road here was muddy, and the village was not very good. Most of them were adobe thatched houses, not straw houses, and almost no gray tiles were seen.

"Are you... a big girl?"

When I entered the village, I saw several old men carrying treasure baskets made of jingzi, and were preparing to go to the ground. When I saw a stranger, I looked at it and saw that Zhang Baosu was clearly seen and exclaimed.

"Uncle Five."

"What a big girl, are you back?"

"Here I'm back."

Zhang Baosu's eyes were slightly red.

"well."

"It would be great if you came back two days in advance, your mother could close her eyes."

Zhang Baosu's mother had already gone to the ground. She passed away a few days ago, and she was in the seventh day of the year. When Zhang Baosu heard this, tears fell down. Li Dong and Huang Shengnan did not expect that they would die. Now they don't know how to persuade Zhang Baosu.

"Su Su, I feel sad."

Huang Shengnan hugged Zhang Baosu and comforted him quietly. No one would be able to pass this matter in a short time. Zhang Baosu's family got the news and gave Zhang Baosu back to Li Dong a lot of thanks.

Zhang Baosu's father is a middle-aged man wearing a somewhat worn cotton-padded jacket, and his younger brothers and sisters are thin and weak, so he is not very energetic.

"Go back first."

Zhang Kui whispered and sighed.

When I came to Zhang Kui's house, there were three straw adobe houses. This was not too bad. What did the family say? It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a poor person. After all, the place where the famine escaped was so good. Li Dong and Huang Shengnan sat down and didn't even drink water.

"No, no."

Li Dong put down the canned snacks and milk, and saw a few little kids looking at them secretly. Li Dong smiled and took out some candy and handed them to several children. Li Dong looked at the children, looking at them at the age of eleven or twelve.

Zhang Baosu once said that the three younger brothers are the oldest, the oldest is nine years old.

"I'll go cook, let's have a meal first."

Zhang Kui is a man who doesn’t like talking, with a sweet-colored skin and full of traces of time. “No, I want to visit my grandma.”

"Oh, the second brother will take your sister."

Li Dong and Huang Shengnan didn't go there and waited for about half an hour. Zhang Baosu came back and gave Zhang Kui the money he brought and the money he earned from bamboo weaving, as well as some rice and some food coupons he bought. Originally, Li Dong wanted to give Zhang Baosu some money, but what did this girl say not?

"Brother, let's go."

"Let's go."

Li Dong and Huang Shengnan looked at each other, Zhang Kui opened his mouth and finally sighed without saying anything, just waiting for Zhang Baosu to get in the car. "Let's go, leave, don't go back to this poor place."

"Sister..."

Several younger brothers looked at Zhang Baosu who had gotten into the car and left. Zhang Baosu got into the car and lay down on her side. Huang Shengnan was broken. "Cry, just cry." Li Dong drove the car and headed straight to Xiaji Commune. It was already evening when he arrived at the commune.

Fortunately, people saw Li Dong, the Chinese Writers Association and Chicheng County, and arranged the dormitory. However, the conditions here were much worse. There were about ten people living in a high and low bed in a house, and the water was all made by the commune cadres.

The thermos was brought directly by Li Dong. It was said to be a commune compound, but only five or six tile houses. It was said to be a street, but it was actually just a supply and marketing cooperative, a post office, a school, and some self-built houses. It seemed that it was worse than Hanzhuang now.

"Writer Li, the person you are looking for is a coincidence."

Hu Yihu, deputy secretary of the commune, smiled and said, "I really know you, I'll take you there." I never thought that the title of a great writer was quite useful.

"Li Fu'an is the deputy captain of the current Lixin Production Brigade."

Hu Yihu said. "I just called Lixin Production Team, and he happened to be in the team."

"That's so thankful, Secretary Hu."
Chapter completed!
