Kapitel 23: Chapter 23: Returning home in glory

July, the hottest season of the year; at this time, a motorcycle slowly drove on the road, raising a cloud of dust.

Nowadays, even bicycles can raise dust when they pass by.

Liu Yuyan gripped Han Songlin's clothes, while keeping an eye on Han Ting, who was sandwiched between the two of them.

Han Songlin was not riding fast, only 20 to 30 kilometres per hour.

He dared not go faster on this road.

Another reason was that Han Songlin was worried that if they did encounter a sudden brake, they would be carried forward, with Han Ting in between them.

Today, they were going to their hometown in the countryside.

Since moving to the city, Han Songlin and his family had not been back.

For Han Songlin, it didn't matter whether they went back or not.

But Han Songlin knew in his heart that if they didn't go back, there would be big problems.

First of all, he didn't want to bear the reputation of being an unfilial son. Since he had become Uncle Songlin and inherited the good things he had left behind, he naturally had to inherit his responsibilities and obligations as well.

This was something that Han Songlin had always upheld.

On top of the car's gas tank, there were still quite a few things that Liu Yuyan had bought.

Things like black sesame paste and lotus root powder.

These were the kinds of things that people gave to the elderly these days.

As for health products, there are now some scattered products on the market, and Liu Yuyan wanted to buy some, but Han Songlin stopped her.

It's not true to say that health products are completely ineffective; but if they really have such a big effect, then the merchants are surely blowing hot air.

Right now, it's still the beginning of a health product market, and the real big era has yet to come.

Han Songlin naturally understands this.

Throughout the 1990s, it was quite a bit like a dance of demons.

Well, in those days, there was none of that!

He got off the highway and onto a small road. The road was a so-called machine-ploughed road. Han Songlin had never seen any machine ploughing, and he wondered what the situation had been like in the past.

After all, large agricultural machinery simply could not enter the hilly areas.

And after the land was contracted out, individual families simply could not afford agricultural machinery.

It was not until after the new century that agricultural machinery entered the countryside in large numbers.

That was after the agricultural tax was abolished.

In the future, each household in the team will pay according to the number of people in the household to hire a bulldozer to dig a road. Now it is obvious that the road is not yet there.

Therefore, Han Songlin is extremely careful when pushing the cart downhill.

Liu Yuyan and Han Ting are walking behind carrying things.

As for why Han Songlin doesn't park the cart by the side of the road, it goes without saying that he is afraid of it being stolen.

Being poor, to a certain extent, is the original sin!

Because they are poor, they dare to do anything.

The current security environment is not good. To put it bluntly, it is not poverty that is causing the trouble.

When the granary is full, one knows propriety; when one has enough to eat and wear, one knows what is shame!

Han Songlin knows that the time when there are no lost items on the streets is coming soon.

Perhaps it is coming!

'Han Songlin, I heard that you are doing well in the city, and it is true!'

Han Songlin's movement walking forward was directly halted. He knows this person!

Grandpa Han Shunyuan!

A few years ago, when Han Zeke returned home on leave, he happened to meet him just before he died, and even attended his funeral!

Naturally, Han Songlin was a little startled when the living Han Shunyuan suddenly appeared in front of him.

'Ahem, it's Uncle Yuan! Have you eaten yet?' Han Songlin quickly recovered, and naturally knew that he was seeing a living person.

'Uncle Yuan, have an apple!' Liu Yuyan held up the bag and opened it for Han Shunyuan to take one.

Han Shunyuan reached out and took an apple. This kind of thing was rare in the countryside.

In this era, the countryside had not yet begun to plant large quantities of various fruits and the like.

Therefore, the fruits on the market were expensive and the quantities were relatively small.

'Thank you!'

Liu Yuyan said with a smile, 'Don't thank me, I'm just grabbing some candy!'

Han Shunyuan quickly waved his hand and said, 'I don't want this!'

'It's okay, there's plenty! Try it.'

Nowadays, the Big White Rabbit still dominates the market for candy, but other types of candy have also appeared.

For example, soft candy!

This type of candy is quite popular with children.

Han Shunyuan grabbed a few candies and thanked him again.

'Then, Uncle Yuan, we'll go first!'

'Sure! Take your time.'

'Okay!'

Opening the long-unoccupied house, he was immediately covered in cobwebs!

Han Songlin didn't react for a while and slowly took two steps back.

Then he reached out and removed the cobwebs.

What was going on?

Was there something wrong with them, weaving webs inside the house, to catch insects?

Every summer, under the eaves of rural houses, spiders would weave a web with a diameter of half a metre.

Some large spiders can weave webs with a diameter of one metre, which is relatively rare.

When he was a child, he still remembered deliberately catching a cicada and releasing it near the spider web.

Naturally, it was stuck to the web.

Liu Yuyan noticed Han Songlin's dilemma and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: 'The house hasn't been lived in for a long time, so it is like this.'

Han Songlin: 'This house, I don't think we will be able to use it in the future!'

What happens if the house is not lived in for a long time?

To be honest, the outcome is already predetermined.

The house was built in the 1980s, so don't really expect much from its quality.

If it had been maintained every year, it would naturally have been livable for a long time.

But now, it seems unlikely.

Liu Yuyan's lips moved slightly, but in the end she didn't speak; she understood that Han Songlin was telling the truth.

This house contained so many memories for Liu Yuyan.

She got married and became a bride, gave birth to children and became a mother, and she did it all here.

Han Songlin and Liu Yuyan quickly left with Han Ting to go to Han Songcai's house.

The two families lived close to each other, just a few steps away.

'Welcome back!'

Han Songlin looked at his mother. Perhaps because her son had become successful, her complexion now looked much more rosy.

Usually, Han Songlin often asked Han Songcai to bring back some meat or something.

He would then make meatballs directly for his mother to eat.

'Mom, are you feeling well?'

Han's mother asked, motioning for Liu Yuyan to sit down. She was extremely happy, petting Han Ting's little face with her hand, and said, 'If you eat well and sleep well every day, you'll be healthy!'

'That's good!'

The old lady looked at the things Han Songlin and the others had brought back again, the fruit, sweets, and what was in the two big bags.

Liu Yuyan introduced with a smile, 'Mom, this is black sesame paste, drink it with boiled water! This is lotus root powder, also drink it with boiled water.'

Han's mother looked at the lotus root powder and said, 'I had lotus root powder once more than ten years ago, and it wasn't very tasty!'

What a thing to say!

The taste of lotus root powder is on the light side, so it's normal for some people to find it unappealing.

Food is a matter of personal taste.

Kapitel 24: Chapter 24: That Flutter in the Heart

After chatting for a while, Han Songlin got down to business.

'Mom, Songcai is going to move to the city in the future, too. I'm going to wait until my house is renovated, and then I'll take you to live in the city. What do you think?'

'Move to the city?'

Move to the city and live there!

Han's mother is still willing to do so. After all, she has spent her whole life in the countryside, so she naturally longs to live in the city's prosperity.

As for the fact that many elderly people are reluctant to move to the city, don't assume that they truly don't want to. First, look at their financial situation, and then speculate on their thoughts.

Some elderly people feel that if they go to the city, they will cause trouble for their children, so they don't want to go.

Han's mother is willing to do so, but she also has her own concerns.

If she goes to the city and wants to come back, it will be inconvenient.

I won't be able to see my old friends!

No matter what, there is an imperfect side to everything, and it depends on the person's choice.

Han Songlin's main reason for coming back this time was to see his mother, but he also wanted to talk to her about moving to the city.

He wanted her to be mentally prepared.

Han Songlin's mother looked at Liu Yuyan and said, 'Have you been to see Yuyan's parents?'

Han Songlin didn't say anything. If he did, it would really be hard to say; could it be that he didn't even know which way Liu Yuyan's parents' house was?

Liu Yuyan looked at Han Songlin and laughed, "I've been really busy lately, so I'll go over there after a while.'

'When you go over there, buy a lot of things!'

Han Songlin heard what his mother meant: "Mom, don't worry, I know!'

When a son-in-law visits, he has to bring a lot of things!

If a son-in-law doesn't bring anything when he visits, the woman's parents will be the subject of gossip.

So it doesn't matter if the things you buy are expensive or not, the important thing is that people can see what you've brought.

'Now I just don't know how your eldest sister is getting on! She doesn't even send a message,' said Han's mother, her face showing concern.

This daughter was also born to the family, so there's no reason not to want to know.

Han Songlin naturally knew that he had an elder sister, but his impression of her was really not very deep.

I do remember that Han Songlin's eldest sister has a son, and Han Ze has met him. He seems quite cheerful.

I don't know what he does for a living, of course.

Liu Yuyan saw that Han Songlin was silent, so she took over the conversation: 'Mom, when we meet someone, please give your eldest sister a message; it will be convenient for you to see her when you go to the city in the future!'

Her eldest sister did not marry outside the county, but her husband's family and her in-laws were in completely opposite directions.

Nowadays, transport is not that convenient, and if you want to come back, you have to prepare for a few days.

In the countryside, basically every household raises pigs and chickens, so there is no time to stay away for long.

Therefore, visiting relatives is now a rare thing in the countryside.

If you go to a relative's house, you have to hurry home that day.

Han Songlin said, 'My daughter-in-law is right, Mom, when you get to the city, you'll be able to see your eldest daughter often!'

Time passed quickly as they talked.

Han Songcai's daughter-in-law He Hui also returned from the slope: 'Brother, sister-in-law, you're back!'

'Up the slope?'

He Hui put down her hoe and dustpan: 'Weeding!'

Han Ting saw Han Yingzi and quickly broke free from her grandmother's arms to run and take her hand!

Even though the two little ones hadn't seen each other for a while, they still remembered each other.

'Brother, what are you going to do with the millet this year? Are you going to thresh it yourself or hire someone to do it?'

'Millet?'

Han Songlin looked around. It was already the end of July, the rice plants were already bearing ears, and the fields were already a mixture of green and yellow.

In August, it would be almost time to thresh the millet.

At that time, the whole field would be a busy scene.

Nowadays, the annual rice harvest season is not as relaxed as it will be in the future, when harvesters will be used for harvesting.

Even if it is not good enough to use harvesters, there are still special threshing machines.

First, there were the ones that were treaded by hand, then there were the ones that were directly powered by electricity, and then there were the ones that were powered by gasoline engines.

What are they now?

There are very few threshing machines in the countryside!

They use a kind of board, and the person holds the rice and taps it on the board to make the rice fall off.

Han Songlin suddenly felt a strange emotion when he thought about this, but he didn't know how to describe it.

It was because he suddenly remembered when he was a child, he had seen his mother alone in the rice fields threshing the rice.

Is being a farmer hard work?

Farmers are really suffering now.

Especially rural women, men go out to work to earn money, farm work becomes the women's business.

Suppressing the feeling of panic in his heart, Han Songlin laughed and said, 'We'll talk about it when the time comes!'

At this point, Han Songlin is not sure whether he will be able to come back to harvest the rice.

But one thing he is sure of is that he will have to buy a threshing machine.

Threshing by foot!

Nowadays, I guess that's about the only way you can get one.

Do they have them at the agricultural machinery station?

I think so.

'Songcai, did you tell him that you want to do some interior decorating in the city?'

'Yes!'

Han Songlin: 'What do you think?'

He Hui laughed and said, 'If you want to do it, then go for it!'

'I also told Songcai before that the elementary school in this village is definitely not as good as the schools in the city, and in the future, Yingzi will also have to study in a city school. I'm not asking for them to be successful in the future, but to get into a university, that's the bare minimum!'

Getting into a university is still the bare minimum!

Liu Yuyan and He Hui both looked at Han Songlin with surprised expressions, not knowing what to say.

College students are very precious, it is not an exaggeration to call them the pride of heaven.

Forgive them, they simply cannot imagine what the future will be like.

College students are everywhere, it's hard to find a job!

Liu Yuyan rubbed Han Ting's head and laughed, 'Did you hear that, your father said you should go to college!'

Han Ting asked curiously, 'What is a university?'

'University is the pursuit of knowledge, the pursuit of wisdom, sincerity, the cultivation of the heart, self-cultivation, family harmony, governance, and world peace!'

Han Songlin blurted it out, then stopped suddenly, because it really didn't sound like something he would say.

Why, he remembered it himself?

Liu Yuyan didn't care about this, but recently, Han Songlin had been reading various books, and he might have seen it there.

Self-cultivation, family harmony, governance, and world peace!

Han Songlin couldn't help but think back to when he was studying, when he learned that the ancients used this to flaunt themselves and use it as a goal in life.

He had also thought about it.

Unfortunately, he had only thought about it.

It wasn't until Han Songcai returned and they had eaten breakfast and dinner that Han Songlin and the others returned to the city.

Jiang Guiju was sitting in front of the stall, and at this time, basically all of the braised pork on the stall had been sold.

Seeing that Han Songlin and Liu Yuyan had returned, Jiang Guiju handed over the accounts and went off duty.

Han Songlin asked Jiang Guiju to take some of the leftover braised pork home to eat.

Since Jiang Guiju started working here, there has never been a shortage of braised pork.

To be honest, what is the biggest fear when it comes to food?

That even the staff won't eat it.

What does that indicate?

Either the food is not hygienic, or something has been added to it.
