The Love of Passerby A

After a long and bumpy journey, Gu Huanzhi and the Su family finally arrived at their destination - the Sanjiang Plain in the northeast of Heilongjiang Province.

There is no comparison between here and later times.

Now, except for a few scattered villages, the whole place is desolate.

Even in such a place, Su Guoan, Su's father, has deep feelings for it. He is a native of Heilongjiang, and his wife Li Na is also from here.

After arriving at their destination, they first reported to the farm which already had a prototype, then greeted the leaders there, and planned to return to their hometown village to take a look before resuming work.

"Well, Comrade Su, if you want to go, I can arrange for a few people to take you there in a bullock cart. The road is not short," said Zhang Wang, the farm manager. "If you go there on foot,

We will definitely have to spend the night on the road. You are also from here, so you should know that there are wild wolves roaming around after dark, so it is not very safe."

Su Guoan himself may not care, but he cannot ignore the safety of his family, so he agreed with Zhang Wang's suggestion and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you! Uncle Zhang."

"What's the big deal? The country sent you here to help us with construction, so isn't it normal for us to take care of you?" Zhang Wang waved his hand nonchalantly. "But I don't think there's much to see there.

The land here seems fertile, but the weather is too cold. In addition, we were severely harassed by the Japanese in the past few years, so many young people have the courage to join the army like you.

Not many of those who stayed in the village survived, and they were all miserable people! "

"Uncle Zhang, I don't have many relatives in the village. Almost all my family members are dead." Su Guoan, father of Su, said, "I just want to go back to see the ancestral graves and tell our ancestors that we have driven the Japanese away."

"You are a promising person. Wait a minute!" Zhang Shu said, "The ox cart is helping to transport food at the railway station. When it is free in the next few days, I will arrange it for you."

"Thank you so much, Uncle Zhang." Li Na also said.

"Hey! Your wife is a Russian, right? She speaks Northeastern dialect quite well." Zhang Wang was a little surprised.

When the name "Laomaozi" came out, Su Ma Li Na's face changed, but immediately returned to normal. In fact, this was one of the reasons why she was reluctant to come back.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm from Northeast China, not Russia." Su's mother Li Na patiently explained, "My mother is from the Russian ethnic group here, and my father is from the Han ethnic group. I took my father's last name, so my name is Li Na."

"So he's mixed-race!" Zhang Wang nodded. "I thought so! He speaks Northeastern dialect really well."

"I was separated from my mother when I was very young, and my father also passed away early, so I grew up with my uncle." Su's mother Li Na continued with a smile, "My hometown is also nearby."

"Yeah! Uncle Zhang, don't call my wife 'Lao Maozi'. She can't even speak Russian. She can only speak Northeastern dialect." Su Guoan, father of Su, quickly interrupted, "What if someone comes over there?

If we ask her to be our translator, she can't speak a word of Russian, which would be a big joke."

"You know what, it's true." Zhang Wang thought for a while, "In the early years, people came over there frequently. Now that the People's Liberation Army has increased the number of patrols, fewer people come over there."

Then Zhang Wang took them to a small wooden house and said, "There are so many of you, so I'll give you a small wooden house! Now is the early stage of the farm, and the housing problem is still being solved. It will be fine after a while.

It’s still in this house. When it was first built, a brick bed was specially built. It’s still May now, and the weather is just right.”

"Thank you so much, Uncle Zhang." Su Guoan, the father of Su, thanked him again and pulled Gu Huanzhi over. "This child came with us and is also an old neighbor of ours. You see, there is no need to assign him a separate place.

Let him live with us! We are acquaintances and we can take care of him."

"Is this child eighteen?" Zhang Wang looked at Gu Huanzhi suspiciously. "This innocent little boy is very popular here, but I wonder if he can endure hardship?"

"Grandpa Zhang, don't worry, I will do my best." Gu Huanzhi was afraid that Zhang Wang would reject him.

"Okay! I'm leaving first, you hurry up and clean up the house!" Zhang Wang said, "You must be so tired from all the bumps along the way! Take a rest first! I'll arrange the work tomorrow."

"Okay!" Su Guoan responded.
