Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 252, Return, Yang Guangping returns to the countryside
Kyoto train station.

evening.

"Yang Xiaole~ The sleeper berth for the three of us costs 36 yuan more than the hard seat. Two months' salary is gone. The trip back alone cost us [-] yuan."

Outside the station, Wang Qiuju pulled Xiaomai and angrily kept nagging at Yang Xiaole who was walking in front of her.

Yang Xiaole walked in front, with his left ear going in and the right ear going out.

Because when he came back, he still bought a sleeper.

I have been nagging for several days on this journey, and my eardrums have become calloused.

This reminded him of Tang Seng in Journey to the West.

"Mom, I've been sitting here for a while, can you still refund it? I need you to give me the money. Didn't I give you all the money along the way? You talked about it all the way, don't you feel tired?"

Yang Xiaole took out his ears and helplessly repeated what he said before.

Without waiting for Wang Qiuju to continue chattering later, she quickly rushed towards the bus square not far away.

Seeing him running away, Wang Qiuju also looked helpless.

Xiaomai blinked at this moment and looked at the entire square curiously.

She has never been to Kyoto, let alone Kyoto, not even to the commune when she was growing up.

"Auntie, this is what the city looks like! That building is so tall! This train station is so big. If you didn't take me with you, I would be lost."

Xiaomai sighed, holding onto Wang Qiuju's hand tightly, fearing that he would get lost.

Wang Qiuju patted her hand when she saw this: "It's okay. I'll get used to it gradually in the future. Let's go home first."

Hearing this, Xiaomai calmed down a little.

Nod.

Followed the two people back.

I got on the bus and passed by T'anmen when I heard Wang Qiuju say there was a portrait of an old man there.

Let Xiaomai feel excited again.

He stuck his head out of the window and stared at the square.

When she saw the huge photo in the square, Xiaomai was also excited: "Auntie, is this Mao Zedong?"

Wang Qiuju looked at the pictures on the tower through the glass and nodded: "Yes, I was very excited when I saw it for the first time. I only saw it last year."

I have been living in the countryside before, and have never been to the city since liberation.

She indeed only saw it last year.

Hearing this, Xiaomai nodded and stared at the distance not far away, watching carefully.

His eyes never came back.

After coming down from Baitasi Hospital, the three of them walked back to the compound.

Yang Xiaole looked at the dark room at the front door and immediately understood that the restaurant at the door was closed.

Wang Qiuju naturally saw it too.

I also felt worried for a while.

It was just getting dark at this time, everyone was eating at home, and no one was here in the courtyard.

"Father, we're back."

Yang Xiaole carried things and walked in from the outside with a smile.

The family is eating there at this time!
"Xiao Le, mother, are you back?"

The eldest sister stood up happily when she saw several people coming back.

When he saw Wheat in tatters behind him, he hesitated and asked curiously: "Mom, is this... the second daughter of my second uncle's family? She is the eldest brother..."

As he spoke, his eyes subconsciously looked at his elder brother.

I didn't dare to speak clearly.

Wang Qiuju came in, looked at everyone, put down the things, and said to Yang Guangzhi: "Master, this is wheat. I brought it back to her. Mai, call me uncle."

Xiaomai followed in and looked at everyone's eyes, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

However, he still shouted to Yang Guangzhi: "Uncle."

Yang Guangzhi was sitting there drinking, but now he stood up: "Mai, right? Sit down and have some food quickly. This is your eldest brother Xiaogang, eldest sister Xiaomei..."

Introduced her to all the family members.

Wheat was timid and responded cautiously.

At this time, Yang Xiaomei had poured some boiling water into the washbasin, added some cold water, and asked several people to wash their faces.

Yang Xiaole ignored it and ran to wash his face first, then hurried back to pick up the bowls and chopsticks that the eldest sister had just prepared, and started eating with a corn tortilla.

Just because it was dinner time when we were about to arrive at the station, my mother refused to let me eat.

Wang Qiuju took Mai to wash her face.

Then he pulled her back.

Knowing that her husband had something to ask, he quickly said: "I'll talk to you slowly later."

Yang Guangzhi knew that there must be some words that were not suitable for him to say to Mai, so he didn't ask any more questions. He smiled and said to Mai, "Mai, let's eat first."

After Wang Qiuju pulled her to sit down, she brought him a corn pancake and said with a smile: "Eat quickly. After you are full, I will take you to the bathhouse to take a bath. Xiaomei, you can find your own clothes later." Give it to Mai. Take her to the toilet later to know the way."

The eldest sister was staring at Xiaomai. When she heard this, she quickly agreed.

At this time, Xiaomai was holding the corn pancake, but he was still embarrassed to eat it.

Because everyone at the table was looking at her curiously.

With Wang Qiuju's comfort, she started to eat.

The staple food is corn tortillas, and the vegetables are fried shredded radish and a bowl of sauce.

Wang Qiuju ate her meal and told Yang Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, let Xiaomai sleep with you tonight, remember to take care of her."

"Oh~"

The eldest sister said softly while eating her meal.

It took a total of 12 days on the road, and today is Thursday.

While eating, Wang Qiuju thought that the restaurant at the door was closed, and asked worriedly: "Master, we are no longer allowed to work in that restaurant. Have you told me how to arrange for you in the future?"

Yang Guangzhi sighed: "Lao Wu and Sun Tao were transferred from the restaurant before. They should go to other restaurants. I haven't said anything yet! Moreover, we are streamlining now. We are already in the scope of streamlining, so there is no work. Arrange a location for me!"

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju also sighed.

He hesitated and said, "How about this! You can take over the job at the grocery store."

Yang Guangzhi thought about it and shook his head: "Let's talk about it! If you don't have a job, we will streamline your work in the future. What will happen to your children? Will they all go back to your hometown with you? We'll see then!"

Wang Qiuju also nodded lightly when she heard this.

She didn't have any good ideas.

Yang Xiaole took a bite of corn tortillas, ate a bite of vegetables, and then said nonchalantly: "Mom, didn't I say that? You don't have to worry about anything, I have already found someone for you. During this time, Director Zhang didn't come Have you passed?"

Yang Guangzhi hesitated for a moment: "You really found someone! I'm still wondering why Director Zhang didn't come to us. Someone has already returned in the next yard."

Then he asked curiously: "Who are you looking for?"

Yang Xiaole said with a mysterious face: "Don't worry about it!"

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi glared at him angrily.

Wang Qiuju also joked from the side: "Your son can do it. The sleeper berth for both trips cost a total of 70 yuan, and I haven't paid for it yet."

Yang Guangzhi was surprised when he heard this.

Just as he was about to speak, Yang Xiaole took out [-] cents from his pocket and slapped it on the table: "The last money is gone. It's really gone. If you don't believe me, you can search for it."

Then the old god naturally ate there.

Yang Guangzhi and his wife looked at his movements and were speechless for a while.

Is the search useful?

It's not like I haven't searched, but nothing can be found except three melons and two dates.

The eldest sister sat next to Wheat, looked at Wheat who was in a daze, pushed her and said, "Wheat, don't talk nonsense about family matters when you go out, especially food, money, etc., do you hear me?"

"Oh, uh-huh~ I understand, sis."

At this time, Mai was immersed in the 'huge investment' of one hundred, sixty or seventy. When he heard this, he quickly agreed.

But I was wondering in my heart.

Xizi was eating when he thought of something and said to Wang Qiuju with a mysterious face: "Mom, mother, let me tell you good news. Dad returned to the village a few days ago. Do you know who has returned?"

Wang Qiuju was confused for a while after hearing this.

"Who? What's wrong?"

Seeing his expression, Yang Xiaole paused while eating.

Immediately understood what was going on.

It's probably that Yang Guangping's family has gone back. Apart from this, nothing seems to make Xizi so happy.

He hated this family so much.

really.

I heard Yang Guangzhi say: "When I went home, I saw that Yang Guangping and his family had all returned to the countryside. They had been downsized."

"Really!"

Wang Qiuju was surprised, a little happy at first, and then confused for a while: "I don't know what will happen to us in the future."

Although my son said he would solve it.

But I was still a little worried.

Then a few people were eating there and chatting about things at home.Mrs. Shen was persuaded to return some time ago, but later she ran back.

During this period, the neighborhood committee never came to see her again.

When Yang Guangzhi heard that several people were being robbed in the mountains, and Yang Xiaole went to beat them up, he was frightened for a while: "Xiaole, don't do this again! It's too dangerous, there are people who dare to rob things in broad daylight."

Yang Xiaole chewed his rice and naturally agreed: "I know, I'll be more careful in the future, okay!"

After hearing this, Yang Guangzhi thought that it was a mountainous area after all, and this situation should not happen in Kyoto City.

Although I was a little scared, I didn't say anything.

After a quick meal, Wang Qiuju took the bathing ticket at home and took Mai to take a bath.

Yang Xiaole thought about his father's work problem, and then thought about Xiaomai's household registration problem.

After thinking about it in my mind, I said I was going to take a shower and ran away.

The person he was looking for was naturally the note Zhang Shaoting left for him.

People from the Personnel Bureau.

Dad's job is actually to find someone from the Labor Bureau, but many of the functions of the Labor Bureau and the Personnel Bureau overlap, and the two are very closely connected.

Moreover, Mai’s household registration relocation still has to go through the Personnel Bureau.

The address is near Qianmen Street, where many government agencies are concentrated.

When he was almost there, Yang Xiaole remembered what he had said to his uncle on the train.

I'm thinking about whether I should go there for a while.

Instead of being in a hurry, he rode his bicycle to a tube building.

This is the staff building of a general agency.

According to the address Zhang Shaoting said, I carried my things and went directly to the 4th floor.

He knocked lightly on the door.

"Who?"

There was a reply from inside, and soon a woman in her 30s opened the door.

"You are……"

Yang Xiaole looked at the other party and said with a smile: "Hello, eldest sister! I'm looking for Feng Dayong, Zhang Shaoting asked me to come over."

The other party should be Feng Dayong's wife.

Since they are Zhang Shaoting's comrades, they are of the same seniority. Don't mess up the seniority again when the time comes.

"Younger? Which time did you pass?"

Just as the woman was about to speak, a man's voice came from inside, probably Yang Xiaole's voice.

At the same time, the other party came out from inside.

This is a middle-aged man about 1.7 meters tall, with short hair and big eyes.

He has a plain appearance and wears a woolen sweater and an inch-shirt.

The attire of a cadre was similar to that of his uncle.

"You said Shaoting asked you to come? Which one are you?"

A Sichuan accent.

He couldn't tell whether he was from Sichuan province, or from Hu N or Hu B. Anyway, to him they were all the same, they were all Sichuan-sounding.

Yang Xiaole said with a smile: "My name is Yang Xiaole, and Zhang Shaoting is my senior brother. He asked me to come to you if anything happens."

Feng Dayong immediately reacted after hearing this: "Oh, you are Yang Xiaole! That little bitch wrote me a letter before he left. I remember, I remember, come in and tell me."

After saying that, he greeted him to come in with a smile.

Yang Xiaole came in carrying something.

The house was similar to his uncle's, with one bedroom and one living room, about 20 square meters.

It's just that there are a lot of things inside, unlike his uncle's house which is empty.

He must have lived there for a long time.

After coming in, Feng Dayong looked at Yang Xiaole holding something in his hand and was a little dissatisfied: "Are you trying to be a spoiler? You are a crooked junior brother, and that's my brother. Why don't you bring some spoilers when you come? I'll bring them later. go back."

Yang Xiaole smiled and put it on the table and said with a smile: "Senior brother asked me to bring it to you."

Two bottles of Maotai and one China.

It costs about ten yuan in total, but there is no fixed price for this thing unless you are above the subject level.

Especially Maotai.

Feng Dayong sneered and said, "That little bitch, it's not bad if you don't get wine from me, but you can also give me wine."

While I was thinking, the sound of children talking came from the room.

Feng Dayong's wife saw this and said hello and went in. At the same time, she also knew that the two of them had something going on.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought such expensive wine.

Yang Xiaole smiled, it would be nice to have an excuse.

As for whether the other party believes it or not, that is his business.

Then he said with a smile: "Brother Feng, you and my senior brother are brothers, so I will call you brother. What you just said is crooked, is it my senior brother's nickname?"

"sit down!"

Feng Dayong motioned him to sit down, made him a glass of water, and said with a smile: "That son of a bitch is called Shaoting. He used to be a machine gunner. The name is just a machine gun, so we'll call him Waibianzi."

Yang Xiaole suddenly understood after hearing this, smiled and nodded.

After Feng Dayong sat down, he said directly: "Let's talk, we are all our brothers. Since the crooked guy asked you to come to me, you must have trusted me. If you come here today, you must have something to do with me. Don't make these false claims." Ba Nao’s stuff.”

Straight to the point.

After all, the two of them are not familiar with each other, but the one who is familiar with them is Zhang Shaoting.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole said with some embarrassment: "Then I'll just say it! That's it, my father is currently unemployed and asked if he could arrange a job. Another thing is that I have a cousin whose parents passed away. Yes, I came here to handle the move-in this time..."

Then he explained the general situation.

After hearing this, Feng Dayong pondered there.

He lit a cigarette and thought for a while, then said: "Tell me, your cousin, it's not a big problem. It's our job originally. I just say hello and the procedure should be completed in a week." Okay, but your old man’s (father’s) job problem is quite troublesome. As you know, the city is no longer allowed to recruit workers, and some of them are within the scope of adjustment.”

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a while and said: "As long as you complete the household registration procedures, I will get it done for you as soon as possible. I will keep an eye on your work and let you know when there are results. Is that okay?"

When Yang Xiaole heard this, he quickly thanked him: "Then thank you, Brother Feng. No matter whether you get it done or not, I will remember this sentiment. Of course, Brother Feng doesn't need to be embarrassed. You also said that we are all your brothers. If you can’t get it off, you can’t get it off, there’s no need to be embarrassed.”

Feng Dayong laughed when he heard this: "I know, if I can help you, I will definitely do it!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole said thank you.

The two chatted casually there for a while. After all, Zhang Shaoting was not here, and the two of them were not very familiar with each other, so they didn't have much to say.

After a while he took his leave.

As for the cigarettes and alcohol that Feng Dayong brought out, he would naturally not take them back stupidly.

After coming out, I saw that it was still early, so I thought about it and rode to the textile factory.

Arriving at the place, he knocked lightly on the door.

Qian Hongying opened the door after a while.

She was also surprised when she saw Yang Xiaole: "Xiaole? Why are you here? Your uncle has gone to Guangzhou. Come in quickly."

Yang Xiaole came in carrying something.

While putting the things on the table, she smiled and said: "Auntie, I know that my uncle went to attend the Canton Fair. I met him on the train when I returned to my hometown this time."

"Oh! Did you meet him? What a coincidence."

Qian Hongying was also surprised, smiled and made him some brown sugar water.

"Well, something happened in my hometown. My second uncle passed away at the end of last year. There is a little girl at home who is unattended. My mother went back to take a look."

"what?"

Qian Hongying was surprised: "What's going on?"

Yang Xiaole then explained the situation.

Hearing this, Qian Hongying nodded lightly, "Oh, that's it! Then this kid is really distressed."

After finishing speaking, he looked at what he had brought and asked, "What did you bring again? There is nothing missing at home! Why does it sound like a rooster crowing!"

"I brought a pig's trotter and a hen. The chicken is alive. You raise it first. If you give too much, it will go bad in the heat. I will give you some in a few days."

After Yang Xiaole finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Auntie, you won't say that I'm poaching, right?"

These words made Qian Hongying happy. She put the tea cup on the table and said with a smile: "I am not your uncle's old stubbornness. My eldest nephew is filial to me. I will definitely not blame you! But I have to give him the money." you."

Yang Xiaole took the brown sugar, took a sip, and smiled.

Qian Hongying sat down holding her belly, "Why did you come here alone!"

I came here just after arriving this afternoon, so there must be something going on.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole summarized what Yang Guangchun told him.

"...What the uncle means is, let me find you and ask you to contact Chen Dalin at the printing factory and say that you will make arrangements. I will only be responsible for introducing the person."

Hearing this, Qian Hongying frowned.

He pondered for a moment and asked: "Why did your uncle tell you this? What if something happens to you?"

Yang Xiaole said jokingly: "Isn't it because my uncle has a sharp eye and knows how many people I know?"

Qian Hongying glared at him angrily after hearing this.

Then I thought about it there.
