Traveling through the 1970s

Chapter 23 Return to the Village

Friday soon arrived, and Han Yunya ran away happily after school without even hearing her classmates calling her.

When I got home, I saw that my eldest brother was already waiting at home, riding a bicycle borrowed from the team leader's house.

"Brother, wait a moment, second brother wants to go back with us." Then he went back to the house to get all the prepared things.

"Xiaoxiao, you don't need to carry so many things. Mom has prepared some things for you." Han Yunyang couldn't help but speak as he watched his sister hanging the bags on the handlebars.

"I didn't bring anything else. Here are the things I brought for our parents and you, as well as the things prepared by my second brother." She hung the bag up happily without even raising her head.

I didn't lie. There was indeed nothing of my own in there. They were all bought for my family.

Han Yunzheng rushed home as soon as he got off work. After changing his clothes, the three siblings went home, talking as they walked.

As soon as he got home, Han Yunyang dropped off his brother and sister-in-law and went to return the car. His second brother and Xiaoxiao walked in.

"Dad and Mom, sister, we are back." Han Yunya shouted loudly.

As soon as they finished shouting, the people in the room came out, and the three of them surrounded Xiaoxiao and looked at her.

"Xiaoxiao is back! Come in quickly. Are you hungry?" Xu Yuemei looked her little daughter up and down. She hadn't seen her for more than a month. She had grown taller and a little fatter, and most importantly, she looked prettier.

The skin can be described as snow-white and jade-like, and the facial features are exquisite to perfection, which makes people amazed. Is this really my little daughter?

"Xiaoxiao, you've grown taller and more mature." Han Jinglin looked at his little girl with a smile.

"Xiaoxiao, are you hungry? I'll make dumplings for you." Han Yunyao went to the kitchen with a smile.

"Okay!" He nodded happily and raised his eyebrows to his second brother. As if to show off that he was more favored than him, he happily followed his mother into the house.

"Second brother, which room is yours? Go and see if there is anything missing." Han Yunyao took the things and pointed to the westernmost room.

He carried the things into the main room, put them on the table, and went to the kitchen.

"You are also honest. You didn't come back because your sister didn't let you. You must be missing home." Han Jinglin looked at his prettier little girl and felt so proud in his heart!

"I miss my parents so much, and I miss my elder brother and sister too, but my sister told me to come back during the summer vacation, and it's too troublesome to come back once." She looked at her parents with tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry, let's ignore your sister. She's making us lose our precious heart." Xu Yuemei said with a smile, her eyes red.

"Come on, Xiaoxiao, mom will take you to see your room." She took her to the room prepared for the little girl.

When he came back, he saw three more rooms in the yard and asked, "Dad and Mom, we built the rooms. You must have been very busy these days!" He felt a little distressed.

"Well, it's a bit busy, but Dad is happy." Han Jinglin said with a smile.

He walked through the one-meter-wide corridor and arrived at the door of the inner room. He opened the door and said, "Xiaoxiao, do you like it? The room outside is your sister's, and the room inside is your room. Your brother and sister have put a lot of effort into tinkering with this room."

In the past, Xiao Xiao loved cleanliness and quietness, but the conditions did not allow it at that time, and there was a tiger woman watching over her. On the surface, Xiao Xiao was loved and spoiled by them, but secretly, she was often beaten and scolded. Xiao Xiao would cover up the wounds and be cheerful all day long, for fear that they would see and worry, and be pitied! The father and his two sons worked hard to tinker with the room, and they all wanted to give Xiao Xiao the best.

Accompanied by my parents, I looked around my room. There was a desk and a chair near the window, where clothes were hung, and a row of cabinets on the west wall. There was a large window behind it, which was cut open with a curtain.

The windows are nine-square grids of the same size as the outer windows, all with glass. There is a large bed in the room, with guardrails on three sides. It looks to be 2m4 wide and more than 3m long facing the wall. There is a bedside cabinet that looks to be about to centimeters deep. There is new bedding on the bed, and the furniture is also brand new, clean and tidy.

"Mom and Dad, I like it very much. There is such a large piece of glass in the middle of this window, and with the window at the back, the lighting is so good." With this window, this room would be considered pretty good in the future, and it is really thoughtful.

The main house has seven rooms, each about four meters wide! A total of 28 meters wide, with an empty alley of more than three meters on both sides leading to the backyard, and sheds on both sides for storing firewood. The main house has six large rooms, which are much larger than other people's rooms. The two rooms have simple furniture, and only my sister's and my room are carefully decorated.

Han Yunya smiled and stomped her feet. Her supernatural powers surged and covered the entire room with them. She reinforced the adobe house bit by bit. This house could now be compared to the reinforced concrete of later generations and was much more solid and safe.

"Mom and Dad are so nice, but this bed? Won't it be cold in winter?" In his memory, winters were so cold that it could freeze people to death.

"It's okay. Your sister built a fire wall in the house. Just burn more firewood in winter. Your sister also built a fire wall under your bed. She said it would be too cold in winter."

Although she said this, Xu Yuemei was still unsure, so she thought that if it was too cold, she would let Xiaoxiao and Daya sleep together. Anyway, there were many rooms in the house and she could just get more firewood for the winter.

In this day and age, everything is collective. We dare not burn the firewood we have been given. It is not easy to collect firewood. We have to collect branches and bring them home or pick leaves, pine needles and cut grass. In the past, I remember that each family did not have many quilts and they were all shared. It was cold in winter, and the whole family squeezed on a kang, which was still cold enough to make people shiver. There was only a kang mat on the kang, and there were rarely mattresses. If there were any, they were very thin. The original owner had a small quilt, which had been used for many years. We dared not burn the firewood at home. In winter, the walls were covered with frost.

Now that Han Yunyao has space to burn things, she should have plenty of them. It shouldn't be difficult to get some coal, so no one will freeze in the winter, and their family will be better off.

Another thing is that Han Yunya found that this place was not as poor as her grandmother and the others said, where the whole family only had one pair of pants.

The little girl liked it, and Han Jinglin was so happy that he forgot everything and his face was full of smiles.

The eldest brother came back, and the second brother also came over. The whole family had a happy meal together and sat together to eat dumplings.

"Do you like it, Xiaoxiao? My brother and I spent a long time on it. Our dad asked the carpenter to measure the size and make custom-made cabinets and boxes that can hold all your things." Han Yunyao said happily.

"Thank you! Dad, Mom, brother and sister, I like it very much and I'm happy." After saying that, he took a bite of the dumpling and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

"We are all family, there is nothing to thank for." Han Jinglin said with a smile. This kind of life was something he had never dared to imagine before, all because of his two daughters. He is not stupid, he understands everything in his heart!

He swallowed the dumplings in his mouth and said, "Didn't my parents come to the old house to make trouble?" He was a little worried. In his memory, the old house was not so quiet. Everyone in the house was top-notch.

"I came here to make trouble a few times, but I had enough of it, so I stopped coming." Xu Yuemei curled her lips and said that she originally planned not to report Han Lao Po's child swapping to the police, and they would break off the relationship and stop associating with each other, but those people were shameless. However, they didn't get any benefits.

The father and son would never tell Xiaoxiao that every time they came to the old house to make trouble, they would beat the father and son and the men would be scared and dare not come again.

Han Yunyao sneered in her heart. The old man came to make trouble because she was annoyed, so she stole all their food, not leaving a single grain. She also stole the money hidden by the old lady. Old Zhai’s house didn’t have the energy to make trouble again.

In order to cure strange diseases, the old Han family sold the notorious Han Qingli to the mountains to marry an old man in his 30s. He had two children before. His previous wife was beaten to death. Now he is not living a good life at all. The people in the old house are the same, suffering from strange diseases one after another.
