Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1396, Another year when I go home
In the capital city, with the sound of crackling firecrackers, Tiangong Textile Factory ended its busy year and began to officially have its annual holiday.

Daming people have many rules in doing things. When setting up a factory, opening a commercial firm, doing business, etc., it is indispensable to respect the sky and worship the ancestors, thank the gods and ancestors for their blessings, and pray that they can have a lot of money.

During the New Year holidays, all major factories, commercial firms, etc. must set off firecrackers and fireworks to increase the celebration. Last full stop.

At this moment, not only Tiangong Textile Factory was crackling firecrackers here, but the entire surrounding factory area was almost the same. The sound of firecrackers and fireworks was deafening, resounding through the sky.

At the gates of each factory, the workers who have been busy all year are also gathering together in small groups, preparing for the New Year.

"Erxiu, are you going home this year?"

Li Erxiu and several sisters from the same village happily walked out of the gate of the textile factory, arm in arm.

"Return, I didn't go back last year, but a letter came from my family, saying that the child misses us very much, and it is impossible not to go back."

Li Erxiu replied with a smile all over her face.

"Of course sister Xiu will go back. After all, I bought a bicycle and it will be much more convenient to go back."

"Isn't that right, if sister Xiu buys a car this year, she might be able to buy a house in the capital next year."

"What is there to say about a bicycle, everyone can afford it if they want to buy it."

"I want to buy it, but it's out of stock. If I have a bicycle, it will be much more convenient to go home."

"Isn't it? It's really uncomfortable to walk back. It's different if you have a bicycle. It's estimated that you can get home in two days."

"It's better to go to the places where the train is connected. You can just take the train back."

"Isn't it~"

"How about going shopping and buying some New Year's goods together today?"

"Okay, okay, I'm going to buy a suit of Chinese New Year clothes for my son, and I'm also buying clothes for my parents. I heard that the ready-made clothes made by Caiyun Textile Factory are very good, why don't you go and have a look?"

"Let's go, let's go, buy the New Year's goods today, and prepare to go home tomorrow."

"..."

When women are together, there are always all kinds of things that can't be finished.

At this time, Wang Gensheng came to Li Erxiu's side with a handsome drift on a bicycle. During this time, he had already played with bicycle skills like fire and innocently.

"Sister Xiu, you're here as the head of the household. It's different to have a bicycle here, and the one who comes is fast."

"That's right, this bike looks good~"

"People feel more energetic when riding on the bike."

"Sisters, I'm going first~"

Under the envious eyes of everyone, Li Erxiu sat on the back seat of Wang Gensheng's bicycle.

When Li Erxiu just bought this bicycle, she still regretted it very much. Twenty-two taels of silver is not a small amount.

If in the past, poor people would not be able to pay a few taels of silver even if they pawned their homes, it means that the times are good and the people of Ming Dynasty have become rich.

Coupled with the emergence of the factory, people can enter the factory to work and do things. Only then can everyone slowly save money, and life has become much better.

But it was still a huge sum of money, and I regretted it at the time when I took it out to buy a bicycle.

But now, Li Erxiu felt that it was worth it.

With the bicycle, Wang Gensheng can come over after work every day, and the couple can get together.

During the holidays this weekend, the couple can ride their bikes around and around the capital together, going to many places that they have never been to before.

More importantly, having a bicycle now is definitely a matter of face, and wherever you go by bicycle, you can become the focus of everyone's attention.

Now I can still ride this bicycle back to my hometown. When I think about the scene of visiting relatives and friends on this bicycle after returning to my hometown, Li Erxiu feels that the money is worth the money.

"Ma'am, let's go buy some New Year's goods and take them home."

"Buy two sets of new clothes for each of the children, and one set for the elderly on both sides, and you can buy two more beautiful sets."

Wang Gensheng was riding a bicycle, and he was refreshed. Although it was very cold in the winter wind, he looked at the envious eyes from the street and felt that it was not cold at all.

"I still have my clothes, why buy new ones."

"Of course I have to buy new ones. It's been a whole year of hard work, so you have to be willing to buy some new clothes for yourself. What's more, if you go home for the New Year, how can you not dress decently?"

"Then you buy one too."

"OK~"

While the husband and wife were riding their bicycles, they were also discussing about going home for the New Year.

When I came to the commercial street, the entire commercial street was already crowded with people, and every shop was full of people.

The Chinese New Year holiday is the best time of the year for business.

All factories, workshops, and commercial firms have paid salaries and year-end bonuses to their employees. After a year of hard work, with money in hand, and going home to celebrate the New Year, it is natural to make a lot of purchases.

This also formed the bustling scene of the commercial street in front of a sea of ​​people. The roads of the commercial street are full of people, and many people are carrying large and small bags in their hands.

The bosses and buddies here in various stores are busy and sweating profusely. There are too many people, and the business is so easy to do. Whether it is food, use, or clothing, as long as you have the goods, you can buy them in a short time. There will be a huge consumer group to buy everything.

Fortunately, these bosses are all experienced, and they have prepared sufficient supply in advance, which is enough to meet the huge demand of the market, so that there will be no shortage of goods.

Wang Gensheng, Li Erxiu and his wife also went to the clothing store that sold clothes directly as planned.

The business of the clothing store is the best here. The clothing store covers a large area, and it is full of people, and the shop assistants are sweating profusely.

Buying ready-to-wear directly has only become popular in recent years.

In the past, everyone bought cloth and then went home to make clothes by themselves. There were very few ready-made clothes, and they were not popular, because if you make clothes yourself, you can make clothes according to your own needs.

But in recent years, ready-to-wear has become popular, mainly because everyone is so busy that they don't have time to make clothes by themselves.

What's more, the ready-made clothes designed and manufactured by the factory are more beautiful than the ready-made clothes made by buying cloth yourself. For metropolises like the Beijing-Tianjin area, although the word fashion has not yet come out, the love of beauty , everyone has it.

You wear a piece of clothing that you made yourself, no matter how you look at it, it looks rustic, and those garments designed and manufactured by the factory look better and more fashionable. Naturally, everyone will gradually get used to buying ready-made clothing, and It's not about buying cloth and making clothes yourself.

The gradual popularity of ready-made garments also led the development of the textile industry in the Ming Dynasty. A large number of textile factories began to transform into ready-made clothes, which greatly enriched the variety of ready-made clothes and promoted more and more people to directly buy ready-made clothes.

After a lot of shopping, Wang Gensheng's bicycle was full of hangers.

There are clothes for the children and the elderly at home, snacks for the children, and some New Year’s goods for the New Year. Some things are not sold in the mountains of my hometown. Only big cities like Beijing and Tianjin can sell them. There are sales.

A small one is riding a bicycle, the front basket is full of things, the two sides of the faucet are also full of bags, and even the big bar in the middle is tied with a large bag.

On the seat behind, Li Erxiu was wearing a thick winter coat and a hat, which was tightly wrapped with cloth, and was carrying a large bag in his hand.

As for Wang Gensheng, wearing a thick wool coat, a thick wool felt hat, and wool gloves on his hands, he pedaled his bicycle excitedly and happily on his way home.

On the concrete roads connecting the capital in all directions.

Although the wind is howling and the weather is very cold, you can see a large number of figures on every concrete road. They are wearing thick clothes, carrying large and small bags on their shoulders, smiling and excitedly going Go to and return to my hometown step by step.

The New Year is a time for reunion, even if it is far apart, even if the weather is cold, it still can't stop people from going home.

In the hometown far away, where you have your own parents, your own children, where is your own root, no matter how high or far you fly, you still have to go back.

Even facing the cold wind and heavy snow, everyone has to go back.

On the spacious concrete roads from Beijing, the mighty returning crowd formed long black dragons.

"It's really a spectacular scene. Perhaps only the home has such power. Millions of people braved the severe cold to return to their hometown, lived in a hurry for a few days, and then braved the severe cold to return here again."

On a high-rise building in the southern district of Beijing, Liu Jin held a telescope, looked at the concrete road leading to the distance, and looked at the mighty crowd on the concrete road, braving the cold wind and returning home, and couldn't help but express himself exclamation.

Thinking about future generations, every Chinese New Year will usher in the peak period of returning home.

At each station, hundreds of thousands of people are crowded together, braving the cold wind, and sometimes the cold rain, carrying big and small bags, enduring the hardships of the journey, and still want to go back to their hometown Reunite with loved ones.

At this moment, the scene I saw in front of my eyes was too similar.

The things imprinted in the bones of this nation can pass through thousands of years, and can also experience countless great changes, and it will never change.

This is the reason why the descendants of Yan and Huang have always stood tall.

"The traffic is still too backward, and the number of carriages is still too small."

"It's freezing cold, it's really hard to go all the way back."

"Let's go, let's go to the train station and have a look~"

Looking at the people returning in the cold wind, Liu Jin sighed slightly, got up and went to the train station, ready to go to the train station to have a look.

　In the 90s and the beginning of the new century, it was really difficult to go out to work and return home. It is said that there were many bandit Roadhogs who robbed migrant workers who returned home~
