Chapter 018

Wenxu's home is in Linjiang Province. It is 380 kilometers away from Mingzhu. It takes nearly four hours to go there. In fact, it is better to say that it is in Linjiang Province than at the junction of Linjiang and Yuehai Province. From the map, it looks a bit like digging a piece of it from the boundary of Yuehai. As for why it is located in Linjiang instead of Yuehai Province, it is because Wenxu's hometown is surrounded by rolling mountains and the exit is in Linjiang. If you return to the East China Sea, administrative management will be difficult. The county town and Yuehai road are connected to more than 700 kilometers, which is a bit nonsense.

Without further ado, Wen Xu drove the small truck he had adjusted his meter. It seemed that he had a trip of more than 5,000 kilometers, but in fact, it was only a real distance of seven or eight hundred kilometers at most, and ran along the expressway towards home.

After bypassing the small county town, the road to the countryside became increasingly difficult to walk. There is no national highway or national highway here, it is completely a county highway. The two asphalt roads facing each other can be seen passing four vehicles. It is much better than the gravel roads in Wen Xu's memory.

What made Wen Xu feel even more change is that you can see a luxury car such as Land Rover, Jaguar, BMW, etc. from time to time on the small broken road, dragging a long sound from his small broken truck, and a whimpering sound! Originally, Wen Xu thought that he would come back to support his hometown to support his hometown, but now he seems to be a little bit back to his hometown to beg for food.

When the car arrived in the town, the town was no longer what I remember. There were small buildings on the five or six floors, and a large turntable was created in the center of the town for the first time. The path originally turned into a small commercial area with herringbone shapes. Jiangguo Supermarket was all in all, which was much more generous than the small town next to the pearl where I live now.

After asking the location of the police station in the town, Wen Xu walked in and checked whether his household registration had arrived. The police officer in charge of the household registration looked stubborn. When he saw that Wen Xu's household registration was called from Mingzhu, he looked Wen Xu back and forth with a pair of small eyes, and muttered a word, and then gave Wen Xu a positive answer. When he heard that the household registration had arrived in Wenjia Village, his hometown, Wen Xu directly filed a new household registration book for himself and settled directly into his old house. After completing this place where the personnel files in charge of the town government were directly filed, he filed the files he had obtained with the household registration book.

After the government warmed, I had to express a little bit of a sense of emotion. I felt that it was really much more convenient now than before. I thought that when I moved my household registration, I was not as fast as I am now. I originally planned to spend two things together, but who knew that it would be done in less than two hours. Although the person in charge still did not give me any smile on his face, the matter was done after all.

Following the memory, I walked to the road leading to the village. Even if I saw two-story brick buildings along the way out of the town center, the shape of the town still looks rustic, but it is too far apart from the brick and tile houses and courtyards in Wenxu’s memory, where there are still a few trees planted in the courtyard.

When I was passing by elementary school, I happened to meet a student after school. A large group of people picked up the children at the intersection, and Wen Xu's car was naturally very slow.

Seeing an old man with a hunched waist, Wen Xu felt a very familiar feeling as soon as he turned his head. Then he turned his head and looked carefully. Wen Xu recognized who the old man was. He immediately stopped the car and pressed the window.

"Fifth Brother!" Wen Xu shouted loudly at the old man.

When the old man heard Wen Xu calling him, he hadn't recognized him yet. He turned around and looked around, then looked at Wen Xu and asked, "Young man, you're calling..."

Before I could spit out my word, a smile immediately appeared on my face: "Are you Xiao Shixu from Uncle Zhuo's family?"

The old man's name is Wen Shiqing. He is Wen Xu's cousin, who is in his early sixties. Although he is so old, Wen Xu still has to call him brother. He can't say that he is a chaotic person at the age of uncle. He dare not take it if he calls Wen Shiqing. That means he is of the same generation as his father.

Wenxu is the name on the household registration book. Everyone in the village calls Wenxu Shixu. This world is the generation, which represents Wenxu. The generation of this branch of Wenjia Village is the order of benevolent and kind, and the progress of eternal prosperity begins.

Children in the city may not understand that the younger generation is, the longer they are. What does it mean to have two brothers? Normally, if a wife gathers to have children, the younger brother is always a few years later. When the younger brother’s children arrive at the age of getting married, he is a few years later than the older brother’s children. In these few lifetimes, the phenomenon that everyone sees now is formed, the sixty-year-old brother and twenty-year-old brother.

"Fifth Brother, are you?"

"Isn't today a Friday? I'll pick up my grandchildren from school." After that, Wen Shiqing said to the two children at hand: "Why are you standing there? Call me Grandpa Shixu!"

"Grandpa Shixu!" The two little guys looked at Wenxu with black eyes and shouted honestly.

Looking at Wen Xu smiling, Wen Shiqing introduced: "This is Guangli's son Yuanbin, and this is Guanghong's son Yuanlin."

Oh, two faces floated out of Wen Xu's mind. When winter comes, two red brothers in rural areas appear on their faces. But now, by age, they should be thirty-five or sixty.

"Get on the bus, I'll go back to the village," Wen Xu said immediately.

Wen Shiqing said: "I still have a small tricycle here."

"It's easy to deal with, just throw it into the car," Wen Xu said. The town is not far from the village, only about ten miles away, but it's more than three times longer.

Wen Shiqing originally said this, but nodded when he heard Wen Xu say this. Wen Xu drove the car and followed Wen Shiqing to the place where he put the tricycle. Then he opened the back compartment and lifted the tricycle up.

Before the door was closed, someone heard talking to Wen Shiqing there: "Uncle Fifth, who is this?"

Wen Xu saw this, according to his seniority, he was his nephew: "Guangjun?! I am Wen Xu"

"Uncle Xiaoxu?" Wen Guangjun, who was in his fifties, had a little gray hair, looked at Wen Xu for a while, then nodded and said, "I look like Xiao Zhuo, and I look more and more like him."

"Okay, stop talking, just take Xiao Shixu's car back to the village, don't you, go and see who else hasn't left yet, just take the car," Wen Shiqing said to Wen Guangli.

Wen Xu immediately said as soon as he heard this, "Yes, yes, let's see who else hasn't returned to the village!"

Hearing Wen Xu's words, and the three adults standing alone were the lowest, Wen Guangli responded and handed the child in his hand to Wen Shiqing. The children were this generation but they were of the same age and had no obstacles to playing.

In about half an hour, seven or eight adults gathered with a dozen young children. All the cars in each family were thrown to the top of the car. Except for Wen Shiqing who sat in the cab, the other adults and children all squeezed into the back car. Fortunately, Wen Xu's rear car had a small window open and the door would not be stumped.

Drive the small car to the village.

"Fifth Brother, this road is better than before."

"This section is good now, but when you reach Liyu Bay, it won't work anymore. You can't drive in this car." Wen Shiqing drove to smoke his own dry tobacco while smoking, looking at Wen Xu's car, and touching and looking at him from time to time.

Wen Xu saw that this road had been repaired and why it was not possible to get to Liyu Bay. It was still one-third of the road from the village: "Why didn't you repair it halfway?"

"It's not a big deal that I have no money. Originally, the county said that the county will pay part of it, the town will pay part of it, and the village will pay part of it, but the village will pay part of it, but the village will not have the money, so the road will only be built to Liyu Bay. Originally, it was said that a bridge was built in Liyu Bay and another bridge from Pingdongzi, so you can get half the road into the village. However, the county's expenses were too high, and I wanted to move the village out, and some people moved out. We are hard to get rid of our hometown, so we have been kept. Wenjia Village is still Wenjia Village, but there are not many people who care about it..." Wen Shiqing talked about what happened in the village over the years.

It took Wen Xu to go to college to now for a period of time and has hardly returned to the village for ten years. The only time I went back was that I left from night to early in the morning and only stayed in the old house for one night.

Wen Shiqing finished speaking and looked at Wen Xu, who fell into memories without saying a word, and asked, "By the way, Shi Xu, why are you back? Didn't you say you are good at Mingzhu? I heard that you are 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month?"

"I'm back, no matter how good Mingzhu is, it's not her own home," said Wen Xu.

Wen Shiqing heard this and squirted: "Don't be foolish, your cowardly child. Mingzhu is a man who lives in a toilet. What's the matter with Wenjia Village? If it weren't for the ancestral grave that could not be left unattended, I would have gone to Mingzhu's capital. People can't stay in the valley, and their vision will be shallow!"

"Fifth Brother, I have my own plans!" Wen Xu said.

Hearing Wen Xu say this, Wen Shiqing stopped talking and smoked without saying a word.

Soon the car arrived at Liyu Bay. As Wen Shiqing said, the car could not drive in. Now only the tricycle tied to the roof of the car was good. Except for the handheld traction machine, everything else was very difficult.

There were several families in Liyu Bay, and they were also moved out of Wenjia Village. They were Wenxu’s nephews. This place was originally a small quarry and later it was not allowed to be harvested, so it formed a small flat concave. Several families moved out to settle down here and settled their homes, relying on making some dry goods and local products in the mountains.

The car was placed here, Wenxu divided the gifts he brought, and then followed the tricycle troops to the village. A small truck from Liyuping was replaced by five tricycles of different new and old. There was a lantern hanging on the front of each car. If the tricycle was replaced with a donkey cart, Wenxu felt like the stairs he had left the village and went to the town before. Over the years, the only change in entering the village was to replace the donkey cart with the current small tricycle. I don’t know if this was progress or regression.

Every little kid was divided into something. Many of them were packed up when they were older than teenagers, while the young ones were so greedy that they had already opened the food and started eating. Soon, at the end of the team, they smelled bread, wine-heart chocolate, and various dried fish and shredded meat.

Listening to everyone's chatting along the way, Wen Xu felt like he was back in the past. His grandfather was driving a donkey cart, and the small rack next to the cart was shaking. At that time, he was lying in his mother's arms, looking at his father's back on the other side of the cart, and could only see half of his father's side face. However, when his father turned around and looked at him, Wen Xu could feel the kind of love he had for him in his eyes. At that time, his father had a big dark green travel bag in his hand, and was chatting in a low voice with his grandfather who was driving the car.

My mother hugged herself in her arms without saying a word, and she held her arms a little tightly. Sometimes there were still one or two tears falling on her face. Wen Xu didn't quite understand why her mother hugged herself like she did when she left. Later, Wen Xu understood, but her mother could never hug herself like before, and could never feel the hug that was a bit painful.

This is the clearest memory of warm parents.

"Naked kid, what are you thinking!"

Wen Xu, who was stunned, felt that his car had turned around and immediately came to his senses. He found that the front of his tricycle had almost turned out of the road. Although the river below was not deep, it was three or four meters long, and if he fell down, he would be at least bleeding.

"Forget it, forget it, you guy seems to be close to homesickness. The next section is uphill, so you don't have to ride it anymore. Everyone just rely on their legs." Wen Shiqing drove Wen Xu aside and replaced him with pushing a tricycle himself.

I couldn't even ride the car when I got up the slope, so I pushed the car directly. Children of all sizes, both playful and sensible, reached out to help the elders push the car. I walked up and down for almost half an hour, and after two flat bridges built with wooden stones, the small mountain village along the mountain then revealed a few lights.

From a distance, I heard the dogs in the village barking constantly, probably feeling the warm smell of strangers from my hometown after a long time ago. The barking of the local dogs started to whistle away from Lao Wu, and it was very lively.

"What's the name? My family can't recognize it! They are all itchy and have no future!" When they arrived at the entrance of the village, no one in front scolded the dog.

The big yellow dog who heard the sound immediately closed his mouth and flashed to the side. He looked at Wen Xu's mouth and made a whimpering sound. Then he followed Wen Xu two or three meters behind him, and kept this distance as if he was guarding against a thief! Soon, the dogs in the village became like this, and Wen Xu followed more than a dozen dogs, big and small, behind him.

"Come back! Rhubarb!"

"Heizi, you're going to die!"

With the shouts, the local dogs were honestly called home by their owners, and their owners greeted Wen Xu.

"Uncle Xiaoxu, you're back!"

"Uncle is back"

"Xiao Wenxu is back"

…………

The one with the most names is Uncle Xiao Xu, and the second is Uncle Xu. The one who calls Xiao Shixu less than a slap. It turns out that Wen Xu’s seniority in the village is quite high in the words of Teacher Dandan!
