Candide in Chronology is on strike

"I just went last night. Mom asked me to come back and inform you. Then, we will go back to Qinjiagou together." Liu Mei said as she walked towards the fire with her child in her arms.

Qin He seemed to have briefly told her about their hometown before, but it had been a long time ago and she had forgotten it.

Only now did she really remember the words Qinjiagou deeply and knew that it was Qin He's hometown.

She didn't know where the place was or how to get there, so if she wanted to go, she could only let Qin Jiang and Qin Xi take their mother and son.

"It's too late today. Let's take a bus to the county station early tomorrow morning and transfer to Taohua Town. Qinjiagou is under the jurisdiction of Taohua Town, Yongxin County." Qin Xi has only been there once and is not familiar with it. .

When they get to Peach Blossom Town, they have to look at her brother. If her brother still remembers the way, that's the best. If he doesn't, just ask for directions.

The three people behind said something briefly. When Liu Mei was about to leave, Qin Xi remembered that on the day of the pig killing on the 27th, he helped their family of three pick up the pork on their behalf.

He quickly took out the meat, seven taels of meat for each person, and for their family of three, it was only two kilograms and one tael. The meat was okay. Although it was hind leg meat, there was a piece of fat on it, which was about half a kilogram.

When they went to pick up the meat that day, there were many people in front of them. When it was their turn, there were fewer choices.

Liu Mei looked at the meat, thanked her, and happily took her child back.

As long as winter comes, the meat will not go bad.

If Qin He and Liu Mei don't come back, Qin Xi will always hang the meat on the wall next to the fire pit. Now that the weather is cold, the salted meat is hung on the wall and smoked slowly, without any spoilage. Qin He and Liu Mei came back with their children. The meat was almost turning into bacon.

Qin Xi gave away the meat, which was a relief.

Fortunately, Qin He and Liu Mei didn't chirp. If this kind of thing happens once, they will definitely not help you next time. After all, after helping you, chirping is the most annoying thing. I still want to have a next time, so dream on you.

Half an hour later, Qin Qing came back jumping. Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve reunion night. These days, the children in the village are going crazy, and the village is full of meat.

During the Chinese New Year, it is a rare time for villagers to relax and have fun. The atmosphere in the village is called a harmonious leisure time.

The weather these days is very good, there is no rain or snow, and when one o'clock comes, the sun comes out on time to meet people. It is not too considerate, so the parents in the village do not restrict their children and let them go out to play.

"Xiao Qing, I have something to tell you."

Qin Qing came over and asked, "What's going on?"

"Tomorrow, your elder brother and I will go back to our hometown for something. Our grandma is gone, so we must go back."

"We will definitely not be able to come back tomorrow night. You should stay at home alone and be alert. Before going to bed at night, the doors and windows should be closed."

"We will ask Fang Zheng Yunqing next door to take care of you and pay attention to what's going on here. Just stay at home by yourself and call someone if you need anything. We will be back no later than the day after tomorrow."

I also knew that during the Chinese New Year, Li Chunhua would not stay at home for too long.

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Xi and the others arrived at two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the two brothers Qin Shan and Qin Shu were already discussing the specific matters for tomorrow's burial.

Qin Xi and the others were just a backdrop. They were here to help, kneeling down and burning two handfuls of paper for the old man, and that was all. The next day, early in the morning, at early six o'clock, Qin Xi and the others got busy after sitting by the fire pit all night.

Second Uncle Qin's house had limited beds and could not sleep so many people. There were six of them sitting around the fire pit. They didn't sleep much all night. They could only squint for a few hours.

Whether it's digging a pit, carrying a coffin, or cooking at home, it's all done by your own family. It's the Chinese New Year, so it's better not to bother others for nothing.

Qin Shan's four sons have all grown up, and it is not a problem to contribute a little. Qin Shu's eldest son has also reached the age of starting a family, and his own family is enough, but it will be a little harder.

The cook at home was also unambiguous. Liu Qin brought a lot of things, whether it was food or fish and meat. He also brought over the few things the family prepared for the New Year.

After working hard and tiring, you have to eat something delicious to be able to withstand it.

One noon is naturally not enough. The grave has just been buried and the grave has not yet been erected.

But Qin Jiang Qin Xi and Qin He Liu Mei went back in the afternoon because they were worried about their families.

Liu Qin and Qin Qing also left, taking the bus to the town together, leaving Qin Shan and the twins alone busy in the mountains.

After this series of events, Qinhe and Liu Mei had no intention of continuing to celebrate the New Year in the county. They packed up their things and returned to Chenhui Village with their children.

By this time, the bus had already left, so they walked back.

When they walked out of the county town, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the large cotton-padded clothes they wore seriously hindered their progress.

As soon as half past five o'clock, it was almost dark, and the cold wind blew, making a whirring sound! Fortunately, there are many of them, otherwise, they would definitely be very scared.

Fortunately, Qin He borrowed a flashlight from his mother, otherwise they would have to walk back in the dark. Whether they could make it there was still a question.

In the past few days, I haven't been able to eat well or sleep well, and the kid Qin Zhiwen who was also traveling with me has lost a lot of weight. He looks very lethargic, and he doesn't look energetic at all.

When he returned, his pitiful look instantly aroused Qin He and Liu Mei's fatherly and maternal love. They were afraid that he would be too tired from walking and catch a cold from the cold wind, so they hugged him all the way. .

Sometimes, Qin Jiang and Qin Xi will help each other. After all, the two-year-old child still wears so many clothes, and the adults are also wearing cotton clothes, which is difficult to hold. Basically, after about ten minutes, It's time to change someone else. Qin He and Liu Mei can't hold it very well. Now they are really tired, hungry, and cold.

It was too dark today, so to be safe, they chose to take the main road. They didn't talk much along the way. They were too tired and not in the mood.

It was nearly eight o'clock when they reached Chen Hui Village. By this time, it was already very cold, and the thin cold wind was entangled on their exposed skin. Even if there was a small gap in their clothes, it would not be blown away. Let go of the cold wind and be ready to burrow into your clothes at any time.

On that uphill road, the four adults who were climbing were so excited that they almost failed to hold on. Fortunately, they pulled one by one from behind and they all walked up.

At this time, the temperature outside was already very close to freezing. When I climbed up, I felt it was difficult to breathe. Fortunately, I finally climbed up.
