Chapter 557 Back

On the platform of the train station, the family was as reluctant to leave as they were last year, but in the end they could only watch the train whistle away from their sight.

Just before the train that Han Li and his friends took left the territory of Sijiu City, that is, when the year was coming to an end last year, a very heavy snow fell in Shanghe Village.

During this period, everyone in Sijiu City and Shanghe Village was in grief, and Zhang Chaomei was no exception. Because of her grief, she neglected to take care of He Mi's house and even forgot to light a fire to warm the house. This caused the two houses to collapse under the heavy snow and the original icicles.

Village Chief Zhao and Team Leader Liang came out and sighed after seeing the situation in front of them. They told everyone that He Mi and Qi Zhaodi were the first batch of educated youth who were really willing to settle in their Shanghe Village, and they did not take away the money and grain they received after the autumn harvest last year, so the village committee took out their money first to repair the house. Anyway, it was just a roof issue.

But when the snow stopped and everyone was about to start the work, they found that the heavy snow fell into the house and froze the inner wall.

This made the quality of the house wall uncertain, because no one dared to guarantee whether the wall would collapse after thawing. However, if it really collapsed due to freezing, there was a greater than 50% chance that the surrounding wall would collapse inwards. At that time, even if the people in the house were not killed on the spot, they would be buried alive.

At this time, Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang were very embarrassed. They had already said their big words. If they didn't do it at this time, they would lose their face. But if they continued, the price would be relatively high.

Then the two of them pretended to count the wood stored in the village, and finally decided to continue.

However, this time they built a brand new wooden loggia for He Mi and the others, and the location was also changed to the open space behind Han Li's house.

Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang didn't say anything about the location of the changed house, but the villagers were wondering if the original location was unlucky? Or maybe He Mi and her friends were lucky, so they were able to help Han Li's family, who was the last to succeed?

However, everyone only dared to mutter about this kind of feudal superstition in their hearts, and no one dared to say it out loud, so no one questioned anything, which made the whole process quite smooth.

In fact, no one knew that what was built for He Mi was just two wooden rooms, and the courtyard wall was simply surrounded by wood.

But when Han Li and his friends came back, Village Chief Zhao and his friends would let Han Li expand the courtyard wall in his own name.

Han Li's family, together with the clinic, now looked like an inverted 7, and it would never return, and the back would become a large square courtyard.

At that time, let He Mi connect the courtyard wall with Han Li's family, all the way to the backyard wall of their family.

The front half was nominally used by Han Li's family of three, but its actual purpose was to raise "flying dragons" as an additional source of income for the village.

In this way, both Han Li and the dogs in their family could help protect the safety of the flying dragon.

As for those who received the telegram from Han Erjie, they all had different reactions when they saw the four simple and clear words (Han Li is gone).

Others had a little regret and were a little hesitant about whether they should go to Sijiu City recently.

Only Hou Yuhua, regardless of whether Han Li was in Sijiu City or not, would leave this home where she had no place from inside to outside. This time, going to Sijiu City to pay her respects was just an excuse for her to leave openly.

But Hou Yuhua also knew her situation. If she couldn't buy a good seat, she didn't know what would happen on the way, so she began to run to the train station frequently.

.

Han Li, who was sitting on the train at the moment, was packing his luggage with others. There were really few people on this train heading north at this time. Not only were there few people in the sleeper car, but even the occupancy rate of the hard seats was less than half.

The train police and the crew also looked absent-minded, but this just gave Han Li the opportunity to experience the same frequency as the train rolling on the rails.

The process was quite fresh. Whether it was taking Yun Yingying to experience it, or secretly taking Yun Jingjing and He Mi to experience it, it was good. It was just that the weather was too cold. They said that it took them a long time to recover from the experience of their buttocks and thighs.

Whether the experience of the journey was good or not, they would always reach the end of the road one day.

When Han Li stood on the land of the county town, the slippery ground here made him feel very familiar.

However, it was not so easy to wait for the car back to Shanghe Village. If they walked back, Han Li would have no problem even if he carried the luggage, but they could not. The long road was slippery and their trouser legs and shoes were all wet when they got home. If there was a little wind or snow on the way, it would be terrible. So they waited for a long time before they waited for a horse sleigh passing by Hongqi Commune.

When they arrived at the roadside of Hongqi Commune, it was already dark. Fortunately, they were familiar with the remaining ten miles, and Yun Jingjing and He Mi could accept this journey even if it was all ice and snow.

However, Han Li didn't want them to suffer this, so he asked them to wait for a while after the sled left, watching the luggage and finding the flashlight. After that, Han Li turned around and ran into the commune. When he came out again, he was pulling a big sled behind him.

"What are you still standing there for? You guys should put all the people and luggage on board. Don't worry, I can still pull your weight."

"Brother Li, just put the luggage on the sled. We can walk this distance by ourselves."

"How about Sister Yun and Sister He, you can all sit on the sled. I'll go to the front and pull the sled with Brother Han."

"No, then put the luggage on the sled first, but if anyone feels tired, just sit on it. We are all family, there is no need to be polite to me."

Two flashlights and five figures walked towards Shanghe Village on the ice and snow. In order to get rid of the cold environment, several people took turns telling jokes. With occasional laughter, they came to the entrance of Shanghe Village.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and there was no one on the streets in the village.

However, as Han Li and his footsteps spread around, the dogs in the village barked to welcome them back.

Not long after Han Li and his group walked into the village, they were illuminated by the light of several flashlights, and then Liang Dawei's voice came.

"Who are you? What are you doing in Shanghe Village in the middle of the night?"

"Dawei? I'm Han Li. I just came back from Sijiu City today."

"Stop taking pictures, stop taking pictures. It's Brother Han and his friends who are back. Brother Han, why are you back at this time?"

"It was quite early when we arrived at the county town, but it was not convenient to wait for the bus to our village. But what are you doing, Dawei?"

"Brother Han, let's take you home to warm up first. This matter can't be finished in a short time. I'll talk to you when I have time."

As Liang Dawei said this, he took the rope from Han Li's hand and pulled the sled with the others towards Han Li's home.

Han Li gave them a circle of cigarettes one by one and lit them with the kerosene lighter given to him by Hao Hongmin.

"So stylish, this is a lighter, right?"

"Why can a lighter light up?"

"It contains flint and kerosene."

"Kerosene, no wonder it smells."

"But Brother Han, why did you come back so early this year?"

"Hey, the old man passed away last year, and there is nothing lively in Sijiu City this year, so we thought about coming back, mainly because there are not many people on the train or the car at this time, and everyone doesn't have to squeeze around."

"By the way, Comrade He Mi's house collapsed under the snow, and the two of them can't go back for the time being?"

Although He Mi knew about it from Han Li a long time ago, Qi Zhaodi didn't know. After hearing the news, she couldn't help but ask loudly.

"What? The house collapsed?"

"Isn't it? But Village Chief Zhao and my uncle have already found someone to help her rebuild it, but it won't be fixed for a while."

Qi Zhaodi didn't listen at all. She wanted to run home, but at this time He Mi and Yun Jingjing stepped forward and grabbed one of Qi Zhaodi's arms and said.

"Don't worry, aren't they already dealing with it? It's useless for you to go there now."

"Yes, and it's late now. Let's not be so loud when we talk. It would be bad if we wake up the villagers. You and Sister He will sleep at my house tonight. Your bedding is there anyway."

The group comforted Qi Zhaodi and soon arrived at the door of Han Li's house. At this time, the dog inside had begun to hum.

Yun Yingying stepped forward to open the street door. Liang Dawei and others helped to pull the sled into the yard. Yun Jingjing took out a handful of candy from a travel bag and gave it to Liang Dawei and others. Han Li scattered a circle of cigarettes to express his gratitude.

Although Wang Chunhua and Zhang Chaomei would often come to light a fire to warm the house, that level was not enough. If you want to live comfortably, you have to light all the kangs and braziers to raise the temperature of the room thoroughly.

But fortunately, Han Li's family had enough firewood, and the firewood was chopped into good sizes, which saved them a lot of trouble.

The four of them worked in the firewood shed, the north room, and the clinic for a while, and this time they made both rooms warm.

Needless to say, Han Li slept alone in the clinic, while the Yun sisters, He Mi, and Qi Zhaodi slept on the warm kang in the north room.

However, it is unknown whether there will be any small episodes at night, but Han Li initially estimated that there will be no small episodes. After all, they have been sitting in the car for several days and are very tired both physically and mentally.

That is, today, Hou Yuhua finally bought a suitable train ticket and boarded the train back to Shanghe Village at ten o'clock in the evening with her luggage. If nothing unexpected happens, she will arrive in Shanghe Village in four, five, or six days.
