Two hundred and fourteenth festival returning home (4)
Chapter 214: Returning Home (4)
Fu Fu climbed up a small soil slope and let the wind blow on his body - he had walked under the sun for most of the day and was sweating. He didn't feel tired at all. He had been used to doing crop work since he was a child.
The ample food, daily training and hard work after joining the army made his body stronger. As for walking dozens of miles in one breath, it was nothing.
There is no oxcart shuttle bus from Dongmen City to Meiyang Village, but the roads have all undergone basic renovations. Bridges have been erected along the road, potholes have been raised, drainage ditches have been installed on the roadside, and the road has been paved.
Sand and gravel - apart from being not wide enough, the roadbed level has reached the level of a simple highway. Fu Fu has no trouble walking on the road, as you must know that he has a five-kilometer cross-country running training once a week.
The winter wind in Lingao is not cold, but refreshing and pleasant. Looking out from the slope, the yellow-brown road winds between the slopes covered with shrubs and trees and the paddy fields. Season 2
Most of the rice has just been harvested, and winter wheat, broad beans and various green manure crops have been planted in the rice fields - this area is the area where Tiandihui focuses on promoting new agricultural methods.
This is a field scenery of a "new rural area" that he has never seen before - somewhat like the scenery in the "Australian pictures" shown to them in the politics class in the army. The "Australian countryside" in the picture is so beautiful.
It was a fairyland. Fu Fu could not believe that there were such beautiful and wealthy villages and such fertile and beautiful fields in the world.
He still remembered the scenery along the road here in the past: as long as you were a little far away from the village, you would see the desolate and terrifying wasteland mounds. The grass on both sides of the dirt road grew taller than Renanhai. If an adult walked into the dense grass, he would disappear immediately. Wild dogs were there.
Wandering in the wilderness, they made terrible low barking sounds. He heard from the old people that these wild dogs specialize in eating dead bodies in graveyards... Fu Fu had heard all kinds of scary stories about the wilderness since he was a child.
The large areas of grass and shrubs that used to be seen everywhere have been reduced a lot, and most of the flat areas have been reclaimed into fields. Only mixed woods are left on the hillside, and some saplings are planted. Fu Fu also participated in the "support team" in the army.
Farmers" know that most of the trees planted on the hillsides are "economic forests" such as fruit trees.
There is a large number of houses in the distance of this quiet rural scenery - that is Meiyang Village. Fu Fu felt a little confused, is Meiyang Village so big?
Fu Fu was sold to Meiyang Village when he was seven or eight years old. Before he was sent to serve as a soldier, he almost never left the village. Fu Fuji himself rarely left the village. He would go to the market once every ten days in the middle of the night.
He rarely goes to the county town once or twice in the middle of the year. Fu Fu has only traveled less than five or six times in total. Meiyang Village is his whole world. In his rare leisure time from work, he and other children will climb up the mountain on the second floor of the village.
On a small mound on Sanli Road, he looked at the scenery in the distance and debated what he would encounter and see if he kept walking in a certain direction. Going to a county town where he couldn't see a village was already a big deal for him.
The horizon is widened.
When he was a soldier, the village sent young men assigned to each family with ropes. In order to prevent the young men from escaping halfway, every village did this. He and several people from the village who were sent to serve as soldiers
They were tied together with ropes and escorted stumbling along the bumpy road. The village specially sent a few strong men to hold them with big swords and wooden guns. He still remembers that the leader Fu Yousan's eldest son Fu Yizhuang has always been
He used a rusty broadsword to mark their necks: Anyone who dared to escape halfway would beheaded directly. The cold whizzing blade made his body and heart tremble. Before leaving,
At that time, the wife of the house only gave him a pair of torn trousers and a torn vest-like piece of cloth, and she didn't even let him wear a pair of straw sandals. Fu Buyer said: "Let him wear it."
"My wife took advantage of me and said: "Anyway, you will be dead when you go there, so what shoes are you wearing?"
He walked barefoot like this for several days, eating a few raw sweet potatoes and drinking a few sips of raw water every day. Almost everyone suffered from diarrhea. There was an orphan in the village who was too young and had severe diarrhea.
Bo Pu died on the way. The eldest son who was responsible for sending them to Fu Yousan's house dug a shallow hole on the roadside and buried him. He kept complaining, "Why didn't I die before Bo Pu?"
Fu Fu dragged his feet and was sent all the way to Bopu with a sluggish feeling that he was going to die. From then on, he became a soldier for the Australians.
Fu Fu didn't know the so-called "encounters in life". In his thinking mode that lacked adjectives, he still felt lucky that he had "good luck". The life of a soldier opened another door in life for him, leading him to
In a world he had never imagined before - a world he had never dreamed of.
"I really didn't expect that such a day would come." Fu Fu took off his straw hat. When he left Meiyang Village, he didn't expect that he would come back alive, let alone come back in such a majestic manner. It turned out that he could be a soldier and play tricks.
He played the same "Returning Home in Rich Clothes". Thinking of this, Fu Fu couldn't help but smile proudly. Thinking of the expression of the mean housewife when she saw him, he felt very happy.
Fu Fu quickened his pace and walked towards the village. He couldn't wait to see Fu Yijin. With Fu Yijin, even the Fu family's wife became less annoying.
He walked along the road, looking at the fields on both sides of the road. Many fields had already dug ditches and installed gates. The army also contributed to these farmland water conservancy projects. One-third of the "agriculture support" that Fu Fu participated in
The second is spent on farmland water conservancy construction.
Approaching the entrance of the village, he saw two girls coming down the hillside by the roadside. One was wearing blue cloth "work clothes" and the other was dressed like a local girl. Both of them were carrying a rattan basket with food inside.
It was full of young grass that had been beaten. One of the girls was holding a basket in her hand, which contained rice and grains that had fallen in the field.
From the way the girls walked and their general figures, Fu Fu could tell at a glance that they were Fu Yijin and Fu Xi. He shouted loudly: "Sister Yijin! Sister Xie!"
When the two girls heard this, they stopped and looked at him in surprise.
Fu Fu saw them stop and decided that they were them. He quickly picked up the pace and caught up. As he got closer, he could see more clearly - they were not who they were. Fu Yijin was still wearing braids with bangs on his forehead.
There was a wooden hairpin stuck in it. Her round face was blinking with a pair of small but dark big eyes, and she looked at the homestead in surprise. It was really a woman's transformation. I haven't seen her in two years, and her appearance has changed.
It was very different from before. He greeted loudly: "Sister Yijin, it's me!"
Fu Yijin and Fu Xi were still looking at this strange soldier in surprise, not recognizing who he was yet.
Fu Fu walked up to her and the others, took off his helmet, and said with a smile: "It's me! I'm Xiao Fu!"
The two finally recognized each other. This strong and handsome young man was Fu Fu. Fu Xi took two steps forward in surprise: "You are Brother Xiao Fu! Why did you come back from the team? I really didn't expect it."
Fu Fu smiled with his mouth open, not knowing what to say for a moment. Fu Xi was wearing the common work clothes at Bopu, which made him very strange-except for village cadres and the like, ordinary country people also
She really wasn't dressed like that. Did she also work for the chiefs?
Fu Xi saw him looking at the clothes on her body: "I was studying in a national school, and this was issued by the school. I wore it when I was studying engineering and agriculture." Fu Xi pointed to the cloth stamp on her chest. Sure enough, there was a national certificate on it.
The name of the school, as well as the school's motto "Knowledge is power".
"The school is on farm break, so I came back to the village." Fu Xi looked at Fu Fu with a look of surprise and joy on his face. She took his arm and looked left and right, "You have become so majestic and majestic.
If it wasn't you who called us, I really wouldn't dare to recognize you," she said, poking Fu Yijin, "Do you think so, Sister Yijin?"
Fu Yijin smiled shyly, with a blush on his face, muttering speechless. After a while, he said: "You have worked hard along the way, so you should go home first."
"Is Mr. Fu at home?"
"Dad is in the fields. Chief Wan is here and is giving us agricultural skills lessons." Fu Yijin felt strange that Fu Fu suddenly changed his name to Fu Buer and called him "Master" - it was like a stranger's name.
.But she knew that Fu Fu was no longer a domesticated child of her family. She looked at Fu Fu: he was taller and stronger than before, his skin was healthy and dark, and his hair was cut short like Australians.
, especially the heroic armed belt and the short sword hanging on the belt, which made her eyes unable to leave her eyes for a moment.
Is this still the domestic boy who drives ducks on his farm? Seeing his smile and eyes, Fu Yijin's heart began to beat fast. He was a little afraid to look at Fu Fu's face.
"Let's go home together."
Along the way, he learned from Fu Xi about the tax scandal more than a year ago and its aftermath.
"Fu Yousan's old red father was severely punished by the chiefs. Now he has become poor and can no longer show his authority in the family." Fu Yousan is very unpopular in the village. Fu Buer has many contradictions. Fu Yousan has many contradictions.
Everyone in the Fuji family hated this person. Fu Xi had often eaten from this old man's cane in the past, and talking about it relieved him a lot.
"Now our family is considered the richest man, and the head of the family has even become the village chief." Fu Xi said, "The family business is several times bigger than before. Chief Wan is such a capable person! He can turn stone into gold!"
When she talked about Wan Lihui, she was beaming with joy and admired him so much.
"Master sent you to study?"
"Yes, if the family was not too busy with too few people, he would have wanted to send a few more to study. Nowadays, hiring workers is more expensive, and it is not like in the past to just give them a full meal." (To be continued.)
