The two of them got into the car. Xie Zhiyuan took out the pancakes that his wife had packed for him just now, opened it and handed one to Old Man Liu.
Looking at the oily big cake in front of him, Old Man Liu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, you can keep it and eat it. I'm not hungry! Besides, you have to come back after I deliver it to you. It's not too late to eat again."
After saying that, Old Man Liu said with a smile: "I ate Xiaoyu's steamed buns yesterday."
"Yesterday was yesterday, and today is today. Brother Liu, hurry up and put it away. Don't I understand? You ran to see us off this morning. When you come back, you should send the villagers to the commune. How can you find the time to do it again?
Eat, put it away quickly!"
Zhang Yu also helped.
Seeing this, Old Man Liu reluctantly accepted the cake.
However, he was not willing to eat it. Instead, he found a clean leaf, packed it, and stuffed it into his arms.
In this regard, neither Zhang Yu nor Xie Zhiyuan said anything.
This kind of thing has become very common at this time.
Just like how Zhang Yu built his house, people who came to help would intentionally leave the meat in the bowl and take it back to his wife, children, and parents.
A father's love is silent but in action.
The three of them were talking while rushing towards the town. It happened to be a coincidence that the two groups of people, who had obviously had nothing to do with each other, bumped into each other when they were approaching the town.
"Ouch!"
"Ouch!"
The person driving the donkey cart on the other side does not look like Old Man Liu. He is a veteran for many years.
The moment the two donkey carts collided, they controlled the donkeys to move to the other side and prevented them from overturning.
But the other side was different. The moment the two donkey carts collided, the frame of the cart was thrown out and turned 90 degrees. The mother and son who were catching up on their sleep in the cart were thrown away.
Got out.
Seeing this, Zhang Yu and the others didn't care about anything else. After taking a look that all three of them were okay, they jumped out of the car and ran to save people.
When he ran to another donkey cart and looked at the boy who was thrown out, Zhang Yu couldn't help but sigh at his fate.
But thinking about the scene where they bumped into each other yesterday, Zhang Yu didn't know what to say.
Is this fate or fate?
The moment Zhang Yu saw the other person's face clearly, the other person also saw Zhang Yu and Old Man Liu.
Seeing the two of them, the young man smiled bitterly and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Fortunately, although the mother and son were thrown away, because they were covered with quilts, the quilt also flew out with them when they were thrown away, which happened to block them.
The two of them were just a little dazed by the fall, but they were not seriously injured.
After reacting, he slowly stood up with the help of Zhang Yu and others.
After moving my body a little and making sure that no bones were injured, I breathed a sigh of relief.
The mother and son patted the dust on their bodies and picked up the quilt on the ground.
The overturned donkey cart had been lifted up and righted by Zhang Yu and others.
Compared to the mother and son, the man driving the car had nothing to do.
After reacting, he looked at his sister and nephew nervously: "Sister, are you okay?"
The woman put the quilt back on the car and smiled at her brother: "Brother, I'm fine. Let's go quickly. Don't miss the train to the county town."
Upon hearing that they were also going to the county seat, Xie Zhiyuan said: "What a coincidence, we are also going to the county seat!"
After that, he asked with some concern: "Are you okay? Do you want to go to the health center?"
The woman shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay!"
The man driving the car looked even more guilty: "It's my fault. I thought no one would go to the commune at this time, so I was careless. Brother, are you okay?"
Old man Liu also waved his hand: "No, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I can't blame you for what happened today. I was also at fault."
Speaking of which, today's matter is indeed not the responsibility of one party.
Old man Liu was used to driving, and he knew there was no one around at this spot, so he let the donkey run faster.
He was talking to the person behind him just now, and he also ignored that someone would come from the fork in the road.
Since both parties were fine, they quickly got on the donkey cart and drove to the commune. After all, the car to the county seat didn't wait for anyone.
After arriving at the commune, several people breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the bus to the county seat had not yet left.
There were not many people on the bus. Although Zhang Yu and the others arrived late, they were able to find seats after buying tickets and getting on the bus.
Zhang Yu found a seat by the window and heard the mother and son asking the conductor when the train would leave.
Facing the envious gazes of everyone in the car, the conductor raised his wrist and showed off the watch on his wrist.
After reading it, he replied: "There are still 20 minutes."
The woman thanked her twice, then looked at her natal brother who was waiting outside the car, and waved to him: "Brother, you go back first. The team is busy these two days, so we probably need to use the car."
"Okay, I'll go back right now. You two, please be careful on the way."
Although he was still a little worried, the man didn't stay here any longer. After waiting for another 20 minutes, he breathed a sigh of relief and drove the donkey cart back when he saw that the cart had already left and the Wang family hadn't come.
There is indeed something else going on in the team these two days, so he has to go back and work on it.
On the way back in the car, the man happened to bump into Old Man Liu.
The other party was also uneasy and watched the car drive away before driving back.
The two of them were both driving in the village. Although they were about ten years apart, they were still able to talk.
While chatting, the two of them talked about this year's drought.
When talking about this old man Liu and the man, there is no trace of joy on his face.
The man looked sad: "Brother, I won't hide it from you. You should also have heard about the situation of our brigade. There is not much in that area, and everyone is barely making do. This area belongs to the poor of our brigade.
.
I don’t know what happened this year, but the weather was so bad that the creek that had been watering it had dried up long ago, so we had to use well water to irrigate the ground."
If their team hadn't been poor, the Wang family wouldn't have dared to do this to his sister.
"Hey!" Old Man Liu couldn't help but sigh when he talked about this.
"Our brigade is not much better. Starting today, we have to carry water for watering. It's all because of those bastards in the Tugouzi brigade who had no idea of giving birth to a son. They cut off the water..."
When he heard Old Man Liu scolding the Tugouzi Brigade, the man became interested and began to curse along with him. His words were even more vicious than Old Man Liu's.
Old man Liu looked at him in surprise. Why did he remember that the other team's brigade had nothing to do with the Tugouzi brigade, nor did they share the same river as the Xiejia brigade and the Tugouzi brigade.
Seeing the confusion in Old Man Liu's eyes, the man angrily told the story of the abuse his sister and nephew had suffered in the Tugouzi Brigade, focusing on the domineering, vicious and unreasonable nature of the Wang family.
Of course, he still kept some caution and did not tell what happened to his brother-in-law back then.
