Eating melons

Chapter 6 Going to the countryside

The two men returned home with gloomy faces, only to see an empty house and two siblings arguing in the living room.

The couple just felt a headache. Wei Jiefang really couldn't bear it anymore. After all, he had been holding this breath for a long time. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer. "That's enough. Isn't it embarrassing enough? What are you arguing about!"

Although Wei Lai and Wei Bao were unwilling, they did not dare to continue arguing. They were still afraid of the angry Wei Jiefang.

But Luo Zhen was still unwilling to give up, so she went back to her room and started writing letters. The letters were full of warnings, threats and intimidation, asking Wei Wei to return the things as soon as possible.

He wrote three pages in total, most of which were curses, warnings, threats and intimidation, which shows how angry Luo Zhen was.

After writing it, I planned to send it to the address given by the information office, but I had no idea that Wei Wei was currently enjoying her meal at Wei Wei's house!

Wei Lai and Wei Bao from the Wei family were already hungry, but seeing the current situation at home, they didn't dare to say anything and provoke their parents' anger.

Wei Lai was so aggrieved that he almost cried. As soon as he came back, he was ridiculed by his neighbors. They said that he had taken away his sister's job, forced his sister to go to the countryside, and that you couldn't tell that she was so thoughtful at such a young age.

She just feels wronged now. Why didn't she get the job and was ridiculed by her neighbors? Why was she yelled at by her father when she came home? She felt so wronged that she got nothing and her reputation was gone.

Moreover, Wei Bao would mock and warn her every day, asking her to behave herself and go to the countryside. But on what basis? Why should she go to the countryside? They are both their parents' children. Is it just because he is a boy?

Now Wei Lai not only hates Wei Wei and Wei Wei, but also hates Wei Baoluozhen and Wei Jiefang.

She hated Wei Wei and Wei Wei's cruelty, hated Wei Bao's arrogance, and hated Luo Zhen and Wei Jiefang's cowardice and incompetence, as they couldn't even arrange a job for her.

Wei Wei didn't know about the Wei family's lawsuits, and even if she did, she wouldn't take it to heart.

Four days is not long, but it is not short either.

During these four days, Wei Wei made eight sets of clothes for Wei Wei, four sets of spring and autumn clothes, two sets of summer clothes, and two skirts.

Seeing Wei Wei like this, Wei Wei didn't say anything. She just bought three pounds of brown sugar, two pounds of red dates, and a box of eggs on Xiaotaotao, and left them for Wei Wei when she left. However, she had to remove the box of eggs when she left, otherwise it would be easy to reveal them.

On the day Wei Wei went to the countryside, Zhang Guodong took a leave of absence in the morning and went to the station to see her off.

Looking at these big and small bags, Wei Wei was really helpless. She had already sent all the luggage away, and Wei Wei packed out a lot of it for her. She sent and picked up, picked up and sent again, and the result was two big packages again.

It’s okay now because someone is delivering it to her, but how will she carry it in the countryside?

But no matter what, she had to take it because Zhang Guodong was already carrying her luggage and preparing to go out.

"Wait a moment, I suddenly remembered that I dropped something." After saying that, Wei Wei hurried to the room and closed the door.

As soon as she entered the room, she placed the three pounds of brown sugar, five pounds of dried red dates, and thirty eggs in a cloth bag that she had prepared earlier, wrapped in oil paper, on the bed. Originally, she only planned to buy two pounds of red dates, but when she saw the big and small bags outside, she added another three pounds of red dates and two pounds of pork belly wrapped in oil paper. She would send the rest after she arrived in the countryside.

Wei Wei: "Nothing is left behind!"

Wei Wei: "It's over, let's go! Let's go!"

The group arrived at the train station. This train went directly to the Northeast, but when they arrived in the city, they had to take a bus to the county, and then be picked up by the communes.

Because of the trip to the countryside, the train station was very crowded, and there were heads everywhere.

Wei Wei, "Sister, there are too many people here. Just hold your nephew and stay here! Don't squeeze in. It's not safe."

Wei Wei looked at the situation and didn't dare to take the risk with the child. After all, the child was too young. "Okay."

Zhang Guodong led the way with the luggage, and Wei Wei followed behind. They squeezed through the crowd and finally arrived at the train.

Zhang Guodong, "There are too many people over there. Don't squeeze in. I'll hold you up, and you step on me to climb up from here. Hurry up and grab a window seat. This time you'll be sitting here for two days and one night. If you don't grab a good seat, you'll have a hard time."

When Wei Wei heard that she would have to sit for two days and one night, she said nothing. She stepped on Zhang Guodong's legs and climbed up, found a seat by the window, and then took the luggage in through the window.

Zhang Guodong: "Once you get there, find a chance to make a phone call or send a telegram back."

Wei Wei: "I understand."

Zhang Guodong, "Your sister sewed some money into your military coat for you. Remember to take it out when the time comes."

When Wei Wei heard this, she was stunned. She didn't expect that Wei Wei had hidden money for her and had already given her fifty yuan before.

"Brother-in-law, I left something for my sister in my room. Remember to take it when you go back later. Don't forget, otherwise it will go bad."

When Zhang Guodong heard her first words, he thought she had left the money. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the second words, which meant it was definitely not about money.

"understood."

As soon as the two finished talking, the carriage was packed with people and full of mail. Seeing everyone carrying large and small bags, Wei Wei was very glad that her things had been sent long ago.

Although I still have two large bags, one of them contains two thin quilts and a spring and autumn dress. These must be brought with me because they will be needed when I get there.

Just put two bags of things under your feet, it won’t take up too much space.

Soon the car was about to leave. "Brother-in-law, we're done here. Go find my sister! There are too many people here. I'm worried about her taking care of the child alone."

Zhang Guodong, "Okay, I'm leaving now. Remember to report safety when you get there."

Wei Wei, "I understand."

After everyone left, Wei Wei looked at the people sitting around her. She deliberately chose a four-seater seat because she thought that fewer people would cause less trouble.

These three people are all girls. Except for her and the girl diagonally opposite whose clothes are all patched, the other two have unhappy expressions. The girl opposite her has red eyes, obviously she has been crying, and the girl next to her doesn't look good either.

This is normal. After all, who would want to go to the countryside if there is no other choice?

After a while, the train started to move with a clang, and the wind blew in, blowing away the stuffiness in the carriage. After all, it was June, and it was a hot time of year. This kind of stuffiness in the south was still quite unbearable.

The gentle breeze also took away the sadness on their faces. I don't know who started it, but everyone began to introduce themselves to each other. After all, we were all educated youth who had gone to the countryside, and we wanted to see if we could find a companion who was in the same place as us so that we would have company when we came back to visit our relatives.

Soon they arrived at their row.

"My name is Wu Zhaodi. I'm from Liu City and I'm going to Han City, Hu Province."

"My name is Luo Yanmei. I'm from Liu City and I'm going to Wu City, Hu Province."

"My name is Wei Wei. I'm from Liu City and I'm going to Lin City, Heilongjiang Province."

As soon as Wei Wei finished speaking, she heard the girl opposite her exclaim.

"Oh my god, it's so far."

Wei Wei didn't say much when she heard it. She wished she could be farther away. Moreover, most of these people were from Liu City, so she hoped that no one would be grouped with her. She didn't want those lunatics from the Wei family to know where she went to the countryside.

"My name is Li Mei, I'm from Liu City, going to Quan City, Hu Province."

……

After everyone was introduced, they started singing again.

A big river with wide waves

The wind blows the scent of rice and flowers on both sides

My family lives on the shore

I'm used to the chant of Gong Gong

Used to seeing the white sails on the boat

………………

First, there are "Singing the Motherland", "Loving My China", then "Returning from Target Practice", "Singing a Mountain Song to the Party", and finally "Liuyang River", "Bai Ye Lin" and so on.

Wei Wei could sing a few lines at the beginning, but mostly she could only sing the climax part. She had never even heard some of the later parts, so she had to take out the kettle and pretend to drink water, and then fill in the gap and lip-sync.

Now she is afraid that someone will find out that she can't sing and come out to pull her hair out. If a joke on a certain audio platform in the future comes out to catch Jiandie in this way, she will be finished.

Fortunately, everyone started to listen after a while and started chattering. Wei Wei quickly lay down on the table and pretended to fall asleep, but in fact she was looking at the products in the system in her mind, for fear of another chorus.

However, this also reminded her that if she encounters a tough guy when buying things at this time, she should quote the quotes of great people.

She only knew a few of these: "All reactionaries are paper tigers." "A single spark can start a prairie fire."

She didn't know anything else, but she remembered that there was a collection of quotations among the books she sent, and she told him to memorize it carefully when he got to the countryside.
