Rebirth 90s: Sweetheart Cub

Golden autumn and October 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.

There are children in every household 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 homes to recuperate, the old village head crouched under the eaves of his house again, smoking a cigarette.

"Father, 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, "Is it true that our third son hasn't 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.

After Qiqi got out of the car, she couldn't wait to run home. After turning two corners, she saw a corner of the fenced courtyard, and she already 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, something strange flashed across.

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

Not the same as usual.

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

Zhang Xifeng sighed, took the two of them to the kitchen, and said in a low voice when the meal 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."

The relieved ones have already left.

The people sitting in the main room now all called but didn't get a reply, so they just stood by the phone, holding a glimmer of hope that they could 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 didn't take it seriously, such things can be found everywhere, and there are so many dark things that only you can't imagine.

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

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

This was 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 that she was also depressed.

"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 basket with her friends and went to the field to help glean rice ears.

Huazi and Goudan's school issued a busy farming task. When returning to school after the busy farming, each of them had to hand in two catties of rice ears they had 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.

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

Compared with her seriousness and meticulousness, Huazi and Goudan looked tired, without the vigor of mischief in the past.

"God, did your family call your parents?" Huazi asked.

Goudan nodded sullenly, "Yes, my parents said that they work in the factory and make up their wages every month, and 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 were already half small, and they began 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, so many mountains have not been reclaimed. If they are reclaimed, more things can be planted." Qiqi 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's not necessary to grow watermelons for all of them. Can we grow other things? Maybe there are valuable things that are easy to get?"

"Then what do you think is valuable and easy to get?"

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

The little radishheads hadn't been able to get together in the first place, and they scattered again.

It's no use asking.

It's not that there is no land in their village, it's because their 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 that the migrant workers were asked to come back and grow watermelons?

In the end, who came back? No one returned.

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, worth millions, don't have time to stop and have dinner with their families.

Who knows?

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

There is no standard.
