Chapter 710: A Plan to Delay the Army!
February 5th, the sixth day of the first lunar month, is the beginning of spring!
Five days have passed in the blink of an eye. In the past few days, the entire Babaoliang Village has been in a peaceful and festive state.
Worship the New Year on the first day of the Lunar New Year and welcome the God of Happiness!
From the second to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, married girls take their babies and sons-in-law back to their parents’ homes to pay New Year greetings.
On weekdays, all production teams are very busy. Whether they are marrying far away or nearby, they cannot see each other several times a year, so the girls wait for the Chinese New Year to return home.
When these relatives meet, there will naturally be endless things to talk about!
If the place is far away, you may have to stay for a few days. If the distance is relatively close, you may go home one after another after lunch.
I don’t know why, but there are so many girls returning to the village this year. Every day, I can hear from the commune members who’s girl and uncle are back.
In the past, when a girl returned to her parents' home, everyone would compare what they had brought to her parents' home. If someone brought meat back to her parents' home, it would arouse the envy of the villagers.
But this year, no one seems to be talking about this. Instead, it has become a question of how many twists and how much meat the girl’s parents brought when she left.
In addition, these girls who married outside the country also have a consensus after returning, that is, the village has changed too much.
Firstly, the living conditions of my parents' family have improved. In the past, when I returned to my parents' home, even during the Chinese New Year, it would have been nice to have a meaty stew.
But this year is different. Stewed meat at noon and dumplings at night are just like that.
Even at night, there is free TV in the village, and the living conditions have improved more than a little bit.
Secondly, the team's property is enviable, not to mention flocks of cattle and sheep, as well as pig farms and horse farms.
It is said that there are two thousand animals, large and small, and even if it is averaged per member, that is still a lot of money.
All in all, these married girls were really surprised by the situation in Babaoliang Village!
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is commonly known as Po Wu, and no relatives are allowed to visit!
According to the custom in the village, the burned cinders and firewood ashes are sent outside early in the morning.
The implication is that you will not suffer from poverty this year, and the energy of poverty will be sent away.
At the same time, on the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we have to "send off to our ancestors".
On New Year's Eve, I invite my ancestors home to worship them. I give them a bite every time I eat, and they also burn incense and paper when the time comes. It's very pious.
But on the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar month, people will send their ancestors back one after another.
Now that you have fulfilled your filial piety, you can go back and forth wherever you like!
After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the year is basically over.
The sixth day of the Lunar New Year is another new day. From this day on, the lives of village members will return to their previous state!
Zhou Yang got up early in the morning, boiled water and cooked rice, and then prepared to send his parents to the county town.
That's right, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother are going back to the fertilizer factory today.
After all, there is no provision for holidays during the Spring Festival. The main reason why Zhou Yawen and Ye Lifang were able to come back for so many days was because of Director Zhang's accommodation.
Now that the New Year is over, it’s time to go back to work.
It's not that I can't stay a few more days, but that would make it difficult for Director Zhang.
More importantly, Father Zhou couldn't wait any longer.
Originally, he had a scientific research project at the fertilizer factory, and the research and development of phosphate fertilizer technology had been in progress for some time. It would not be possible for him to go on his own, relying solely on a few young apprentices who had just graduated.
If Zhou Yang hadn't persuaded him to stay, he would have wanted to go back and take charge of the overall situation in the third year of junior high school.
Although Zhou's mother has nothing special to do, according to family discussions, she will be transferred back to the capital soon, so she wants to take advantage of this time to spend more time with her old man.
Therefore, when she learned that Zhou Yawen was going back to the fertilizer factory, she decided to go back with him.
After washing up briefly, Zhou Yang went to the livestock shed to borrow a carriage and prepared to send his parents to the county seat and then let them take the bus back.
As soon as I borrowed the carriage, I heard Bao'er's heartbreaking cry coming from the house.
You don't need to ask to know that the little girl must have known that her grandparents were leaving and felt reluctant to leave, so she cried.
I thought they left early today and the little girl would most likely not be able to get up.
It's just that this girl knew about this last night, and even cried a lot, so it was easy to coax her back.
Unexpectedly, she had been thinking about this matter all the time. She woke up early today when she heard the noise.
Seeing the neatly dressed grandparents, Baoer knew something was wrong and couldn't stop crying.
After Zhou Yang entered the house, he immediately picked up the little girl and coaxed her!
Unfortunately, the little girl was feeling sad and ignored Zhou Yang at all. He even promised to bring her delicious food when he came back from the county town.
There was no other way, so Zhou Yang could only resort to another trick, first sending Li Youwei and the little girl to the old house, and then taking Li Hu and Er Niu out of the bed and letting them play with Bao'er.
Zhou Yang knew the child's character. As long as he diverted his attention, the unhappiness in his heart would soon disappear.
After finally finding his precious daughter, Zhou Yang and Fan Debiao, Liu Yunlong moved his parents' luggage to the car and headed towards the county seat!
My parents have a lot of luggage, including their clothes, as well as dry goods such as Mahua flowers and candied Mahua leaves prepared by Li Youwei.
There are even many photos, the ones taken on Bao'er's birthday, that were kept away by his parents as if they were treasures.
It was almost eight o'clock when we arrived in the county. After putting their parents on the bus to Ning City, Zhou Yang, Fan Debiao, and Liu Yunlong went straight to the county hospital.
He didn't have anything else to do, he just came to wish Zhong Zhennan a happy New Year and give him some goodies.
After all, Uncle Zhong stayed alone in Yunshan County and couldn't go back during the New Year, so he felt somewhat lonely.
I know that Uncle Zhong is usually in the clinic at this time. Doctors like him who come from big cities with superb medical skills are definitely rare in a small place like Yunshan County. No matter what time it is, the folks who come to see the doctor are rare.
There will be no shortage of them.
Sure enough, when they came outside the clinic where Zhong Zhennan usually visited, they saw that many people were already queuing up to see a doctor.
Zhou Yang did not interfere with Zhong Zhennan's work. He just took the time to hand in the bag of twists and sugar twists he had brought, and then left the county hospital after a brief chat.
Although Zhong Zhennan wanted to stay with him for lunch, unfortunately Zhou Yang really didn't have the time, so he had to decline.
Originally, Zhou Yang wanted to visit Li Changqing, Lu Youming, Wang Anguo and others. After all, these were the few friends he had in Yunshan County, and it was time to walk around during the New Year.
But considering the tempers of those guys, they will definitely leave themselves to eat and drink, and there is a high probability that I will have to drink again.
Think about it again, the research team of Project Zero is coming soon, and I still have a lot of things to do, and I really can't afford to waste this time.
In desperation, I had to give up this idea!
Anyway, he will definitely stay in Yunshan County for at least a year, and he will have plenty of time in the future.
Therefore, after coming out of the county hospital, Zhou Yang, Fan Debiao and Liu Yunlong drove the carriage directly to the supply and marketing cooperative, intending to buy something and then go home.
During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Yang's family was almost out of rice, so he bought 30 kilograms of rice directly.
Chapter completed!
