Chapter 281 Ordinary World

Time flies.

Another three months passed in the blink of an eye.

At the beginning of autumn and early winter, the temperature drops, people have changed into winter clothes, and the air becomes extremely dry.

Yuanxi County, Northern Shaanxi, on the road leading to Shuangshui Village, Shigejie Township.

A jeep sped forward, rolling up layers of yellow sand.

On the winding loess road, two deep and clear ruts extend away, which looks quite desolate.

Looking out from the car window, the sight is full of undulating loess high slopes.

A vast open area with only scattered trees.

The Loess Plateau is vast and boundless, with loess everywhere and thousands of ravines.

The sky was gloomy with sporadic snowflakes.

The cold wind whistling, flying sand and rocks, dust covered the sun, and the world was bleak.

"It's snowing." Jiang Ping'an murmured softly.

Tian Fujun beside him asked casually, "Has it snowed in the capital this year?"

"It wasn't snowing when I left." Jiang Pingan looked back and replied with a smile.

When he got here, he knew that Tian Fujun was also one of the people who helped him find his relatives.

Tian Fujun is an old comrade-in-arms of Qianchang, the deputy director of the Xanthan Commissioner's Office, and has a wide network of contacts here.

Tian Fujun has a son and a daughter. The son is Tian Xiaochen, who is nine years old, and the daughter is Tian Xiaoxia, who is five years old.

In addition, he has a ten-year-old niece named Tian Runye.

With this information, everything will be in order.

Meet Tian Runye once in a hundred years, Tian Xiaoxia once in a thousand years, He Xiulian once in ten thousand years, these people are still young now.

Speechless all the way.

When I arrived at Shigejie Commune Town, I saw a group of students working on both sides of the street against the wind and snow, cleaning ditches.

"Xiao Zhang, pull over for a moment." Tian Fujun suddenly said to the driver.

The jeep pulled over and parked. Tian Fujun got out of the car and walked towards the group of students.

Jiang Ping'an got out of the car out of curiosity.

Looking around, the commune is a dilapidated street about 50 meters long.

The only decent building is the sales department of the supply and marketing cooperative.

On the opposite side of the road, a small bridge spans the Dongla River, connecting the road with the town.

Although the town is not big, it is a big place in the eyes of the people in the surrounding villages.

"Run Ye, are you in labor class?" Tian Fujun talked to a girl from a distance.

Tian Runye was busy holding a shovel with his head down, when he heard the voice, he raised his head, straightened up, and said in surprise:

"Second dad is back? It just so happens that I've finished my work here, so I can take a ride back home."

Tian Fujun nodded and smiled, "That's what I meant, so I came here to call you."

Seeing Jiang Ping'an approaching, he introduced:
"This is Jiang Ping'an, the grandson of the third grandma of the Sun family. He is here to find relatives."

"Basically, he's on the same level as you, so you can call him brother."

In Shuangshui Village, Tian and Jin are the main surnames, while Sun is a miscellaneous surname.

Jiang Pingan heard from Tian Fujun that there used to be seven or eight families surnamed Sun in Shuangshui Village, and most of them went out to flee famine during the war.

Those who went out basically never came back, so there are only a handful of people surnamed Sun in the village.

At the beginning, only the people from the house of Sun Yuhou and Sun Yuting stayed, they belonged to the fourth house.

Jiang Ping'an's grandmother's family belonged to the third house. She escaped from famine and came back after being separated from her family.

Now she is more than 70 years old, so most of them call her the third grandma of the Sun family.

"Third grandma? She still has relatives here!" Tian Runye was very surprised, and quickly called Brother Pingan.

When she was in elementary school, she was pretty, lively and cheerful, with two obvious dimples on her cheeks when she smiled.

It's amiable to watch.

"This is the daughter of my elder brother's family, named Tian Runye." Tian Fujun introduced to Jiang Ping'an again.

"Hello, sister Runye!" Jiang Ping'an greeted with a smile, and handed over fruit candies from his pocket.

Tian Runye pursed his lips, wanted to eat but was embarrassed to take it, and looked at Tian Fujun involuntarily with his clear and moist eyes.

Tian Fujun laughed and said, "Go ahead!"

"Thank you Brother Pingan!" Tian Runye smiled and stretched out his hands to take the candy.

Many people in the commune knew Tian Fujun, and he was also a cadre.

To avoid trouble, the three of them returned to the car to talk without delay.

Jiang Ping'an and Tian Fujun sat in the back, and Tian Runye went to the front to sit in the co-pilot.

"Your grandma is still strong and can wash and cook by herself, but her ears are not very spiritual." Tian Fujun said.

"Don't worry about eating or drinking. She is in a special situation and is supported by the collective, so she doesn't have to go to the fields to earn work points."

"Sun Yuting's family also helped me with firewood and carrying water."

Jiang Pingan nodded silently, quietly listening to Tian Fujun's introduction of the situation of his grandmother's house.

After such a calculation, he still called Sun Yuhou and Sun Yuting cousins, and Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping were cousins.

Although he is not a real uncle, but only across the room, he is very close.

In ancient times, aunts and aunts or aunts and uncles, intermarried, and kissed each other.

A boy can marry his uncle's daughter, but not his aunt's daughter.

Therefore, in the Dream of Red Mansions, it is absolutely impossible for Lin Daiyu to marry Jia Baoyu, which belongs to the backflow of bone (aunt) blood.

The jeep was fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at Shuangshui Village.

The so-called "Shuangshui Village" refers to Dongla River and Kuiyan River.

Although they are all called "rivers", they are actually not big, especially the Kuiyan River, which is as thin as hemp rope.

Shuangshui Village is further divided into two blocks: Tianjiagelao and Jinjiawan.

As the name suggests, people with the surname Tian basically live in Gelao, Tianjia, and people with the surname Jin basically live in Jinjiawan.

Except for one family of the Jin family who was designated as a landlord and the other two who were designated as rich peasants.

Some are middle peasants, and most of them are poor and lower-middle peasants.

Therefore, in terms of accommodation, the cave dwellings in the Jinjiawan area are obviously better than the Tianjialao side.

Most of the people living in Gelao of Tianjia are poor people.

The Tian surname is the main one, plus some miscellaneous surnames from other villages.

Most of the houses here are some courtyards with collapsed walls.

It's just that Tian Runye's family is better, not because of Tian Fujun's glory.

It was her father, Tian Futang, who was a capable man and now serves as the secretary of the branch of Shuangshui Village.

As a poor family with a foreign surname, the Sun family originally lived in Gelao, Tianjia.

Three years ago, Sun Yuting, who used to be a worker in a steel factory, ran back and wanted to marry a wife.

So Sun Yuhou gave his younger brother a cave dwelling passed down from his ancestors.

I took my family and moved to the south of the village and settled down again.

It is an exclusive detached house, not closely connected with other families in the village.

As for Jiang Ping'an's grandmother's house, it was not far from Tian Runye's house, only tens of meters away.

The car stopped in front of Tian Futang's house, and Jiang Ping'an came to look for relatives, and Gao Low also wanted to meet him.

"Is your dad at home?" Tian Fujun asked after getting off the car.

With candy in his mouth, Tian Runye smiled and said, "I don't know if you have gone to the brigade, so let's go into the room and have a look."

Then he ran away, bouncing and running into the house, shouting as he ran: "Dad, Mom, Second Dad is back."

Run Yeniang was holding the soles of her shoes in the house, and when she heard the shout, she got up quickly and responded:

"Your dad isn't here, he's going to the brigade, let your second dad come in and sit down."

"Then don't wait, I'll take you to your grandmother's house first." Tian Fujun said.

Jiang Pingan nodded, and said politely, "Uncle Tian, ​​please!"

"My family, why are you being polite? Remember to find out at my house when you have time." Tian Fujun said with a smile.
