Rebirth 90s: Sweetheart Cub

  Chapter 105 Qi Qi's confusion

  October in golden autumn is the season of rice harvest.

   It was supposed to be a busy time for harvesting, but because of this incident, Taoxi Village lost half of the joy of harvesting rice.

  Every family has children who are away from home, and who has the mood to go to the ground before getting a confirmed message.

  After sending the injured youths back to their respective homes to recuperate, the old village head squatted under the eaves of his house again, smoking a cigarette.

   "Dad, what are you thinking?" Luo Yuqiong sighed, knowing that the old man was worried about the villagers again.

  The old village chief took two deep puffs of his cigarette before he said, "Has the third son of our family not contacted our family for more than a year?"

  Luo Yuqiong was collecting clothes on the clothes rail, when she heard this, her hands shook, and all the clothes fell to the ground.

  …

  When Song Yueliang and Qiqi returned to the village, the sky was already full of colorful clouds.

  Qiqi couldn't wait to run home after getting out of the car. After turning two corners, she saw a corner of the small fenced yard and shouted, "Mother-in-law, Qiqi is back!"

  The thin figure of the old woman appeared at the door of the main room almost immediately, followed by Xiao Jiaojiao who walked out of the yard quickly to welcome her home.

"Hey, it's Qiqi coming home!" Zhang Xifeng squinted his eyes with joy, and hugged the little baby who rushed over at the gate of the yard, "I guess you'll be home around this time. Dinner is ready, go wash your hands and eat."

   Song Yueliang followed behind, watching this scene with a smile on his lips.

   It's just that when the eyes glanced over the main room, there was a flash of strangeness.

  In the Zhangjiatang room, there were many villagers sitting at this time, the TV was off, and the atmosphere was dignified.

  It's not the same as usual.

   "Grandma, what's going on in the hall?" Song Yueliang asked.

  Zhang Xifeng sighed, took the mother and daughter directly to the kitchen, and said in a low voice when the rice was served, "something happened in the village."

  She briefly explained the matter, "Now there are people in the family who are working outside, and they all feel uneasy, so they gathered at our house, thinking of calling their children and asking about the situation, so that they can feel at ease."

   Those who are relieved have already left.

  The people sitting in the main room are all those who have called but have not heard back, so they just stick to the phone, holding a glimmer of hope that they can wait for the call to come back.

   "Who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen when I went out to work." At the end, Zhang Xifeng sighed.

  Song Yueliang doesn't take it seriously, such things can be found everywhere, and there are so many darkness that only you can't imagine.

  In the final analysis, it is the jungle of the jungle.

   After dinner, the sky was completely dark, some people were still waiting in the main room, and some people had already left worried.

   This is the first time that no one came to watch TV at night after Zhang’s courtyard got a TV.

  Qiqi didn't know why, but felt depressed in her heart.

"Mom, are there a lot of people in our village who can't come back?" After taking a bath and lying on the bed, thinking about what she heard from her mother-in-law, Qiqi tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, "Brother Huazi, Brother Tiejun, their parents are all here Working outside. If they know the news that mom and dad won't come back, they will be so sad."

  Song Yueliang thought for a while, and said, "That kind of situation is very rare. Many people are either unable to come back, or they are unwilling to come back, because their families are too poor and they can't find a way out."

   "Then how can we find a way out?"

  "When the family is rich, the way out will come."

  …

  The crops in the field wait for no one, no matter how depressed the villagers are, they have to cheer up and harvest the rice first.

  Zhang Xifeng's family didn't grow rice, so it was the most leisurely family in the busy farming season.

  But Qiqi was not idle, she carried a small back basket with her friends and went to the field to help glean rice ears.

  Huazi and Goudan’s school issued busy farming tasks. When returning to school after busy farming, each of them had to hand in two catties of rice ears picked up.

  On both sides of the road at the entrance of the village, the golden rice fields have been harvested one by one, leaving only a few short stubbles in the fields.

  Qiqi was very serious about picking rice ears, wearing a small straw hat, bending over under the sun, carefully not letting go of any corner of the field.

  Compared to her seriousness and meticulousness, Huazi and Goudan looked sluggish, without the vigor they used to have when they were making trouble.

   "Goudan, did your family call your parents?" Hua Zi asked.

  Goudan nodded sullenly, "Yes, my parents said that they work in the factory and earn their wages every month, nothing happened."

"I still don't know where my parents work. They never tell me when they come back." Huazi lowered his head, unable to see his expression clearly, "It's not so good outside. Several people who came back from outside yesterday are still there." Got beaten."

   "I also think it's not good outside. It's better to grow watermelons at home. Aren't the watermelons in our village always valuable? Why don't they come back?"

At this time, Xiya interjected, "My father said that there is only so much land in the family. It is a waste of labor for the whole family to come back to plant the land that can be planted by two people. They can work outside and earn more for the family. money."

  The ears of rice in Qiqi's small basket are already half small, and they start to fall down on her back.

  She raised her hand to wipe off the sweat on her cheeks, walked to a few friends, and stuffed the ears of rice in her back basket into their back baskets respectively.

   "Sister Xiya, but our village has a lot of land, and so many mountains have not been reclaimed. If they are opened up, we can grow more things." Qi Qi thinks so.

  Taoxi Village is surrounded by mountains.

  There are so many mountains and so many lands, if we plant all the things, wouldn’t we be able to make more and more money?

   Several little radish heads looked at each other, "Could it be that all those mountains are planted with watermelons? When the watermelons are ripe, then climb up and down to transport the watermelons? Wouldn't that be exhausting?"

   "It doesn't have to be all watermelons. Can you grow other things? Maybe there are valuable things that are easy to get?"

   "Then tell me, what is valuable and easy to get?"

  Qiqi scratched her head, "I have to go back and ask my mother, my mother is so smart, she must know."

  The spirits of the little carrot heads who hadn't been able to get together before broke up again.

   Asking is useless.

  It's not that there is no land in their village, it's because parents don't want to come back.

   Back then, when the land was opened up in the mountains behind the village, didn’t they say they asked the migrant workers to come back and grow watermelons?

   As a result, who came back? No one came back.

  Qiqi looked at her friends looking depressed, and didn't know how to comfort them.

  If one day, my mother has to go to a far, far place and only see each other once a year, she will definitely be more sad than her friends.

   "Eggy, how much money do you have to earn to be with your family?" Qi Qi was a little confused.

  The little egg man couldn't answer.

  Some people can live happily with their family members with only one dollar in their pockets.

  Some people, who are worth millions, don’t have time to stop and have dinner with their families.

  Who knew?

   This is not something that can be measured with a ruler.

  There is no standard.
