Chapter 23: Xia Chu's Home

The supper was very rich, so Zhou Peng finally achieved his goal and caught a half-pound crucian carp.

Although crucian carp has many thorns, this kind of fish is really delicious when used as soup.

The dinner was eaten together by the two families. After Zhou Peng's mother learned that Zhou Peng was back home, she came to Chu Han's house to help cook together. They also brought their own fresh ingredients.

The behavior of the two families having dinner together has been maintained for many years.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. Both families belong to the same village, and maybe they were still one hundred years ago.

The most common thing in this dinner was Chu Han and Zhou Peng's grades. Needless to say, Zhou Peng would naturally brag in front of his parents if he made progress. By the way, Chu Han, who was the first in the class, also took out the first place in the class and blew it.

Chu's mother looked at Chu Han in surprise. She didn't expect Chu Han to win the first place.

There were four people in total, and the meal was just like that.

Chu Han asked strangely: "Where is my dad and Uncle Zhou?"

"The village holds a conference, and I guess I won't be able to come back until eight or nine o'clock in the evening." Chu's mother said.

"Have a meeting? What meeting?" Chu Han seemed to notice it, but asked.

"Who knows that the weather has been gloomy recently. I am afraid that the heavy rain will flood the dealer, so I will discuss the plan there." Chu's mother said.

"I don't know if I will get water this year." Zhou's mother also worried.

"It probably won't be possible, how can you get a lot of flood every year?"

The two mothers were chatting and starting to eat, but Chu Han's expression became completely solemn.

Next to their village is a tributary of the Yangtze River. The water flow is very high. Every summer, when the precipitation increases, there will always be a flood. Therefore, every summer, the village will gather labor forces and assign them tasks to determine that they can respond correctly when they are sent.

It seems that the flood is happening every year.

The two of them didn't care, and they didn't even talk about this topic. They just let them get water. Even if they get water, it will only affect the vegetable field.

By the time the rainfall became heavy, the wheat had been harvested by that time. Maybe drying would be a problem, but the impact would not be great.

They didn't know that Chu Han, who had traveled through time, knew that he would definitely get water this year, and this water would be very exciting, and it was the biggest in the past century.

But there is no evidence. Even if he tells his two mothers now that there will be a flood this year, they probably won't believe it.

"Mom, Aunt Zhou, will we go out for a trip after the exam?" Chu Han asked tried.

"Traveling? Where can I go? If you want to play, you can have fun after you graduate from college. Our family has no money to support you to go out and play." Chu's mother said mercilessly.

And Chu Han couldn't even refute these words.

What he said is the fact that the family doesn’t have much money at all. Not to mention traveling, the cost of even going to the city is enough for the family to feel distressed for a long time.

Chu Han could only sigh and think of other ways.

After dinner, Chu Han helped Chu's mother clean up the mess and also helped clean up the sanitation.

This made Chu's mother look at her again, wondering if her child had really grown up.

It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that Chu's father came back, his face full of fatigue.

The village committee is in the town, and it goes back and forth for two kilometers. There are no facilities such as street lights in rural areas at night. In this era, there were no street lights installed in cities, let alone rural areas.

It must be a very hard thing to return from the town to the village with deep and shallow steps, relying on the mining lamps left before.

Chu Han wanted to ask what his father said during the meeting, but Chu's father said, "Ah? I fell asleep and didn't listen at all. Anyway, it was the instructions I told me before the rainy season came every year. I told me that I recited them all. Let me listen to what he did."

After saying that, he went to get water and take a shower.

Chu Han sighed, feeling a little anxious.

In the future, everyone knows that a major flood will occur in 1998, but before the flood occurs, no one takes it seriously.

If Chu Han told them that this year there would be a flood that would be a rare flood in a century and directly threatened their lives, no one would believe it.

In this regard, Chu Han could only pray that when the flood came, everyone would be more prepared.

The bed at home is still a familiar touch, and sleeping on it makes people feel very relieved.

I don’t know if I have been too tired to make money recently and have too much energy to lose my energy. I couldn’t help but fall asleep as soon as I went to bed.

Because he slept early, without smartphones and entertainment projects, and even mine-sweeping computers were stuck, Chu Han slept very well. Of course, he didn't have a computer at home.

As soon as dawn was dawn, Chu Han had already woken up naturally.

After the simple washing, I ran to the kitchen and wanted to help my parents heat up last night's meal in advance to make breakfast.

But when he walked into the kitchen, he found that the dishes in the kitchen had already been in the pot, and the two big white steamed buns were steaming, making Chu Han feel warm.

As for my parents' room, there was no one, so they went to work.

Life in rural areas is very monotonous, but there is also simple happiness in monotony.

If you have not experienced the colorful worlds in later generations, Chu Han might be more yearning for such a rural life.

After dinner, he packed up and Chu Han set off.

The next village is not far from here, and the distance between villages is usually only about one hundred meters. The 100 meters mixed in between are naturally the fields of each family.

Passing by the lush vegetable fields and green wheat fields, stepping on the small bridge and looking at the stream with gurgling water under the bridge, sometimes, beauty is so obvious.

The village where Xia Chu is located is called Xiazhuang, unlike Chuhan's village, it is called Sanlizhuang.

There are various surnames in Sanlizhuang, which should have been combined a hundred years ago. Villages like Xiazhuang that use surnames have come from a lot of time, and most of the villages live in one surname.

This village has only been around for a hundred years, and it is all my family.

"Is the most conspicuous one in the village? Is it there?" After walking for nearly half an hour, Chu Han came to Xia Chu's village and also saw the so-called resident of the village head that Xia Chu said.

It was a small courtyard with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters, with several tile houses.

This is true for most buildings in the village. Chu Han’s bungalow was built a few years ago. At that time, grandparents were still there, and five people in the family couldn’t live there. After applying with the village chief, two small bungalows were built.

But most families only have two or three tile houses.

Xia Chu’s house is next to the stream, and the environment looks very good. The garden is surrounded by a simple fence, and the scene inside can be clearly seen.

A middle-aged woman was feeding a twelve or thirteen-year-old child inside, while Xia Chu was cleaning the yard. On the side of the threshold, a middle-aged man was on a small stool, as if he was talking to Xia Chu, but Xia Chu lowered his eyebrows and looked at him and ignored him.
