Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 209 They Are Back

When we arrived at Grandpa Meng’s cemetery, we put out sacrifices, lit incense, burned paper, and recited a few words about the recent situation of our family and relatives and friends. It was a report, and then the three of them stood in a row to salute Grandpa Meng, and waited by the side. I can't leave until the incense sticks are burned. It hasn't rained in the past few days, and the wind is strong in spring, so I'm afraid it will cause a fire.

During the Spring Festival, Liu Yongsheng and others came to pay respects. Captain Bao and Zhou Shi'an repaired the cemetery, and the surrounding area was level and clean. The three of them didn't need to do anything, just sat and chatted.

Zhao Ming told Meng Tao and Jin Niu: "Tomorrow you go to the county seat, and I will go with you."

Meng Tao asked: "Are you going to do something?"

Zhao Ming nodded: "Go to the County Educated Youth Office to have a look. Maybe within a month or two, I will go back to the city and leave Linshui Village."

"That's great, you can reunite with your family, congratulations!"

Meng Tao smiled and said, Zhou Cuiling said that Zhao Ming would not take the middle school teacher selection test, so she guessed it.

Taurus was also happy for Zhao Ming, following Meng Tao's words: "It's good to go back to the city, congratulations, Brother Zhao Ming!"

Zhao Ming smiled and patted Taurus on the shoulder: "Don't forget me, I will come back someday."

"Don't forget, don't forget, they are good brothers, I will always remember. No matter when you return to Linshui Village, the door of the house will be open for you."

"Thank you Taurus, and thank you Peach Blossom. I have been exercising in the countryside for several years. It is my luck to meet you."

"Mr. Zhao is too polite. We also want to thank you for teaching us cultural knowledge." Meng Tao laughed.

Zhao Ming smiled wryly: "There is no beginning but no end, I can't stick to the end, I'm not a good teacher... Taurus is very hardworking, continue to learn from Guoliang and Qian Liang, Taohua must go to school, your learning talent can't be wasted. "

"Okay, Mr. Zhao. Do Jiang Xiaodong and the others know that you are leaving?"

"They don't know yet. I'll tell them when it's confirmed."

Meng Tao nodded. This is Zhao Ming's caution, and he will not disclose things that have not been decided in advance.

While talking, Xiao Wangcai, who was squatting next to Meng Tao, suddenly stood up, barked a few times down the hill, and then jumped out, disappearing into the grass in the blink of an eye.

The Taurus called Xiao Wangcai twice, Zhao Ming guessed that it had found some prey, but Meng Tao didn't think so, this place belongs to the foot of the mountain area, pheasants and hares don't come here, if there are any, they would be gophers, Xiao Wangcai ignored them.

Soon, Xiao Wangcai's cry and two men's voices came from the mountain road covered by trees. Taurus laughed happily and said, "It's Brother Zhehan and Shen Yu, it's them who are back!"

Meng Tao also stood up happily, she knew that Shen Yu was quite busy in the provincial capital recently, she talked on the phone two days ago, Shen Yu also said that he might not be able to come back during the Ching Ming Festival, unexpectedly he rushed back today.

Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan came up with Xiao Wangcai. Meng Zhehan carried a cloth bag in his hand, which contained tobacco, wine and other sacrifices. The two also offered incense to Grandpa Meng, poured wine, lit cigarettes, and saluted. Then everyone continued to sit down. Wait until the incense burns before leaving.

At this time, it was getting late, the twilight was close together, and the wilderness felt a little gloomy. If Meng Tao was alone, he wouldn't dare to stay here.

While Meng Zhehan was talking with Jin Niu and Zhao Ming, Shen Yu gently hugged Meng Tao, then held her hand and did not let go.

The four eyes met, and each other's hearts were sweet.

Taurus asked Meng Zhehan how many days off?Meng Zhehan said: "I have to go back tomorrow."

"So urgent? I thought you could stay at home for a few more days."

"I've been quite busy recently, and I don't have time on Sunday. I can come back today to pay homage to our grandfather. I'll exchange it with someone. Wait until July. I'll definitely come back and stay longer after the summer vacation."

"Okay."

Meng Tao's little fingertip scratched Shen Yu's palm twice, and Shen Yu knew what she was thinking. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I have to go with him too, and I'll take you to the county seat tomorrow... I'll come back next weekend .”

Meng Tao smiled and nodded.

A few people walked home in the dark, the educated youths were still waiting hungry, Meng Tao had already made dinner before going up the mountain, and told them to eat first, they insisted on waiting.

Fortunately, with the support of spiritual food such as books and radios, I am not in a hurry.

So I immediately set the table and prepared to eat. Three female educated youths heated up the dishes and served them one by one. Spicy dry pot rabbit meat, stewed chicken nuggets, chicken stewed with mushrooms, fried chicken with mushrooms, cold shepherd's purse, fresh mushroom soup, The staple food is Erhe noodles steamed buns.

Mengtao steamed buns are usually steamed too much. Meng Zhehan and Shen Yu come suddenly and it is enough to eat. It is convenient to fry two more dishes. Even if there are too many people, it is difficult to take out the meat in the space. A row of smoked pheasants and hares.

This is the credit of Xiao Wangcai. Meng Tao secretly used pine needle dew as bait to help it. It is ruthless enough, otherwise it would not be able to catch so many. The family has not broken meat for several days. Everyone really loves Xiaowangcai.

After dinner, Meng Zhehan, Shen Yu sat down with Jinniu and the educated youths and had a conversation. Meng Tao knew that they must be tired after driving all the way back, and they had to go back tomorrow, so they had to rest early.

I went to the kitchen to prepare bath water, made the bed, and urged the two of them to wash and sleep quickly.

After Shen Yu took a shower, he came to the room to look for Meng Tao again: "Let's have a chat."

Meng Tao: "I will go all the way to the county seat tomorrow, if you have anything to say in the car."

"It's not just the two of us in the car, that guy Meng Zhehan is always interrupting, what can we say?"

"But I'm tired today too, I need to sleep."

"Then let's sleep together."

Meng Tao blushed and stared at him, Shen Yu chuckled softly: "I can make the floor."

"No, the courtyard is full of people watching, you are not afraid of jokes, I am still embarrassed."

"Then you promise me one thing, and I'll go."

"what?"

"You promise first."

"All right……"

"..."

After dawdling for a long time, when Shen Yu finally went to rest, Meng Tao looked at the time and couldn't help being amused and annoyed: What kind of bedtime is this?It's past eleven o'clock.

After breakfast the next day, the educated youths went to work. Shen Yu helped Meng Tao tidy up the yard. Zhao Ming went to the brigade to ask for leave. Captain Bao came back with him. Shen Yu, Meng Zhehan and Captain Bao had a conversation. A few people got into the jeep and left Linshui Village to go to the county seat.

It takes three hours to take the shuttle bus, but the modified jeep has good performance and runs fast, and it can be reached in one hour.

Meng Tao took Jinniu to the county hospital for a follow-up visit and planned to stay for two days. She talked with Zhang Fu on the phone. Zhang Fu bought a big yard for 180 yuan. Come on, after all, his family has always been poor, he really doesn't look like a rich man.

But he was really happy in his heart. It would be a waste to have a big yard without showing off. He had been looking forward to seeing Meng Tao and Jinniu coming to the county seat. Let him live in the new courtyard for a few days, and let him treat him well.

It's hard to turn down the hospitality, but you have to join in the show.

Zhao Ming only asked for one day off, but it was enough. He went to the Educated Youth Office to have a look, then went to the department store to help other educated youths do some shopping, went to the Xinhua Bookstore, and took a bus back to the village at noon.
