On the other side, the Gu family spent another day and night on the train, and finally arrived at Wuxian Railway Station around twelve o'clock the next morning.
Seeing the familiar train station, Gu Baozhu's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
No one knows how long she was gone, but she finally came back.
"What's wrong?"
"No, it just feels like this period of time has passed so long that I can't even recognize the five counties."
Zhang Xiuying laughed, "How long have you been away, and now you can't recognize your presence?"
Gu Baozhu chuckled, held her arm and walked out without explaining.
Compared with the heat in Beijing, the temperature in the five counties is not very high. It may be that it is extra cool today, Gu Baozhu thought in his mind.
After coming out of the train station, they walked forward for a while and then found a shady place to stop.
"Mom, why don't you go to my house first and I'll see you off to join the team in the afternoon?"
Gu Changshou looked at the sky. Although the five counties were cooler than the capital city, it was the hottest time now and it was midday, so it was not much cooler.
Zhang Xiuying refused, "No, we will go back now."
"You have wasted a lot of time in the past few days. Go back and sell the fake ones first, so as not to delay your work."
That's the only bad thing about workers, it's hard to ask for leave.
This time they took a week, and they didn't know if the factory would have any objections to them. Zhang Xiuying was still a little worried.
"Don't worry. We already asked for leave before we left. Everything will be fine."
Gu Baozhu also felt a little sorry. If it weren't for her, her three brothers wouldn't have taken such a long leave to go to Beijing to support her.
"Brother, it's really not easy to say that you have taken so many days off. You go back to the factory to sell the leave first. Brother, I am here. I am a strong man. I can pick up the brother easily."
"Can you do it?" Gu Changping was still a little worried.
There is no bus to the brigade at this time, and with my brother's current situation, it will take a lot of time to walk.
"Second brother, you look down on me, why don't we make a show of it?" She said and was about to take action.
"No, I won't argue with you." Gu Changping refused directly and backed away.
My little sister has always been very strong, but he may not be able to do the gestures well.
"Hey, isn't that Uncle Gen?"
Gu Changan glanced around, suddenly saw an acquaintance and his eyes lit up, and he quickly shouted, "Uncle Gen."
"Uncle Lao Gen, are you going back to the team soon?"
When Li Laogen saw the person, he couldn't help but be happy, "Oh, Chang'an, it's your boy."
"Go back, I'll be back in the team in a minute."
Gu Changan smiled and nodded, "Uncle Lao Gen, do you still have a seat in your ox cart? We have just returned from the capital city and my parents are about to return to the team. Can you take a ride?"
If you use a walking car, it will take at least three hours. Using an ox cart can save half the time, and you don't have to suffer. That is naturally the best.
"Lao Gen." At this time, Gu Hongyi and the others also came over.
"Lao Gu, I'm back from Beijing. How is Beijing? Are you the boss now?" Li Laogen laughed with envy on his face.
Old guys like them are envious of the captain. When they were young, they went out to fight with the army, and when they are old, they can follow him around the capital. Their knowledge is much better than theirs.
"Lao Gen, how is the team lately? Nothing happened, right?" Gu Hongyi didn't say much about things in Beijing. What he was most concerned about was the situation in the team.
He has been away for nearly a month and is still a little worried.
Although he came back for a few days, he left again within a few days, which made him feel a little uneasy.
"As long as Mr. Gu is here, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Lao Gen packed up the things he bought, and then said slowly, "You are already over 60 years old. Retire when it's time to retire. Why do you worry so much?"
"Look at your children. Each one is more promising than the other. If they go out more, that's no better than anything else."
"We can't compare. Each of the children in the family is less useful than the other."
Gu Hongyi shook his head, "Old Gen, you are so humble. Who doesn't know that the second son of your family made a lot of money when he went south last year and built two brick and tile houses? Are you feeling guilty for saying this?
"
"Hahaha, yes." Li Laogen laughed, with pride that could not be concealed on his lips.
He then looked at Gu Changsheng and asked with concern, "Changsheng, I heard that you were injured in the army. How are you? Are you okay?"
"It's almost done." Gu Changsheng smiled and nodded. Uncle Gen was still as enthusiastic and cheerful as before.
"Baby girl, when she comes back from this trip, she looks a lot more beautiful. In two years, the threshold of your family will be stepped down by a beauty."
The five children of the captain's family are all talented people, and each one is more promising than the other. There is no family in the entire Qingshan Brigade that can compare with them, not even the people in the city can compare with them. Old Gu's family is like smoke rising from their ancestral graves.
"That won't work. My Baozhu needs to be admitted to college."
Zhang Xiuying shook her head and said with a smile, "Besides, my Baozhu is still young. Even if it takes two years, she won't be eighteen years old. Even if she wants to find a partner, it will take more than ten years. We are not in a hurry."
Lao Gen laughed and thought so.
"That's right, Bao Yatou is the pride of our Qingshan Brigade, and is also a genius of our five counties and a good prospect of the university. We really can't agree to someone early. Isn't this delaying Bao Yatou!"
The four brothers looked at each other and sneered in their hearts. If they want to marry Baozhu, it depends on whether they agree or not.
But at this level, they don't want to get close to the orb.
Li Laogen wiped his sweat, it was really hot today.
"Don't you want to go back to the team? Let's go!"
Li Laogen said as he walked, "It's very hot today. If I hadn't come here to buy things, you might not have seen me."
"Let's go, let's go, there are still a few seats left in the bullock cart. If you squeeze in, you can still sit down."
The bullock cart was parked in the shade of the road leading to the Qingshan Brigade. There were several people sitting on the bullock cart. When they got closer, they realized that they were not all from the Qingshan Brigade.
Li Laogen's oxcart goes back and forth between Qingshan Brigade and Wuxian every day, passing by other brigades in the middle, so it occasionally pulls people from other brigades, and the charge is cheap, and everyone is willing to do Li Laogen's work
Bullock cart.
As soon as they saw Gu Hongyi and the others, the villagers on the oxcart became excited.
"Captain, sister-in-law Xiuying, are you back from Beijing?" This is the famous big-mouthed Aunt Zhang of the Qingshan Brigade.
"Oh, isn't this Changsheng? Changsheng, I heard you were injured, are you okay?"
"If it weren't for you soldiers protecting us outside, how could we people have such a good life now? Changsheng, you have to protect yourself well and don't be careless."
"That's right, our longevity is great."
"Quick, there is time to do here. Everyone, get up and make room for Changsheng."
Gu Changsheng smiled and nodded. At this moment, a sharp voice came from the carriage.
