Chapter 525: Lao Ba returns to the city!

Reconnecting with relatives in Gangcheng put Grandma Zhang, Tang Danniu and others in a good mood.

Zhang Shenfei even promised them that he would take them to Hong Kong City when the time was right to reunite with their relatives there.

His words gave everyone something to think about.

By August, eight million people had gone to the countryside across the country.

The eighth son of the Zhang family went to the countryside at the same time as Banggeng, and the places where they went to the countryside were not far from each other.

But under the guidance of Zhang Shenfei, he never gave up learning.

In September, the commune where he was sent to work recommended him to go to university, and he became one of the 150,000 workers, peasants and soldiers who enrolled in college.

On the day he returned to the city to attend college, everyone in the Zhang family went to the train station to greet him.

When everyone saw Lao Ba, wrapped in a white sheepskin towel, appear in front of them, they were all stunned.

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" A simple smile appeared on the face of Zhang Yinmei, now Zhang Jianshe, who had a highland red face.

"Old Eight, why have you become so darker? Like a black coal ball..." Grandma Zhang stretched out her hand, as rough as tree bark, and touched her great-grandson's cheek.

"Well, the place where I stay is very windy, and everyone's face is like this..." Zhang Jianshe didn't care. Seeing the tears in the old lady's eyes, he hurriedly interrupted and said jokingly, "You didn't see Banggeng, his face is even darker than mine.

If you saw him, you would mistake him for an African brother."

"How can you say such nonsense, kid?" Grandma Zhang wiped her tears.

"Let's go. There are so many people at the exit. Let's find a restaurant to have a meal and welcome Lao Ba." Zhang Shenfei said.

The family soon arrived at Fengze Garden, which was their regular place for family gatherings.

After sitting down, Grandma Zhang stuffed the menu into Lao Ba's hand and said, "Order whatever you want to eat. You don't have to save money for your second uncle."

"Tsk tsk tsk, the money you spend on your relationship as an old lady is not yours..." Zhang Shenfei was shocked.

"Our Jianshe has worked hard. There are so many children in the family, but you are the only one who goes to the countryside... Where can we find delicious food in the countryside?" Grandma Zhang took Zhang Jianshe's hand and started nagging again.

"It's okay, ma'am. Our life there isn't very hard." Zhang Jianshe comforted her.

After ordering the food, the family drank tea while asking Zhang Jianshe about his life in northern Shaanxi.

According to him, they ate yellow steamed buns there and lived in cave dwellings.

"The work is really hard, and life there is much worse than in the rural areas near the city...

In some villages, when there is a shortage of crops in spring, the entire village will even go out begging under the arrangement of the village cadres..."

"Are you begging for food too?" Tang Danniu looked at her son.

"I didn't. The conditions in the village where Banggeng and I stayed were relatively good." Zhang Jianshe said, "But even so, Banggeng was caught stealing chickens several times.

Twice, the villagers chased him with hoes and shovels and beat him...

Another time, the villagers jointly wrote a letter to the Information Office, demanding that the sticks be returned.

In the end, it was the leaders of the Youth League Office who persuaded him to stay. "

If you were rejected by the Youth League Office these days, it would be a big deal and would be recorded in your file.

Everyone in the Zhang family was shocked after hearing this.

Zhang Shenfei sighed in his heart that Bang Geng is indeed Bang Geng. No matter where he is or how bad the situation is, he will never change his nature as a thief.

Speaking of banggeng, Tian Xiaozao remembered something.

"Qin Huairu didn't know where he heard it, but she said that the policy on returning to the city with knowledge of the situation has been relaxed...

Recently, he came to the street office every few days, crying and begging for Banggeng to return to the city. He even said he was willing to give his job to Banggeng as long as he came back.

Having said that, Tian Xiaozao sighed.

Speaking of which, Qin Huairu is only forty years old now, which is the time of middle age and strong and healthy.

It is also sad that she is willing to give up her job for her son.

"Qin Huairu works in a collectively owned factory, right?" Tang Danniu shook her head. "If Banggeng really takes over her job, it won't be a good thing."

"Who made Banggeng commit suicide?" The taciturn Zhang Shenliang suddenly spoke.

When Banggeng took over Lao Qin's job and worked in the steel rolling mill, it was a large state-owned enterprise with very good welfare benefits.

But he brought disaster upon himself and was fired.

"So, no matter what time, people should not be too suicidal," he commented.

"Bang Geng now knows he regrets it and wants to come back, but how can it be that easy?"

After hearing what he said, Zhang Jianshe's eyes suddenly became strange: "Maybe, maybe returning to the city is just Banggeng's mother's wishful thinking.

Bang Geng himself actually doesn’t want to come back.”

Huh? ? Hearing his words, everyone in the Zhang family looked over at once.

"Why wouldn't Banggeng want to come back?" Tian Xiaozao asked curiously.

"Didn't you say that life in northern Shaanxi is hard?" Tang Danniu also said.

Although the living conditions of the Jia family were average, Banggeng, as the only male, lived a spoiled life.

After arriving in northern Shaanxi, shouldn't he have looked towards the city of Sijiu every day, tears welling up in his eyes, dreaming of coming back? ?

Others couldn't figure it out, but Zhang Shenfei figured it out immediately after thinking about it for a while.

He looked at Zhang Jianshe and asked, "Old Eight, is Banggeng dating someone in northern Shaanxi?"

Zhang Jianshe nodded: "The two have been talking for a while."

"What are the girl's conditions like? Are they not very good?" Zhang Shenfei asked immediately.

"Uncle Zhang, how do you know that the girl's conditions are not good?" Xu Jingli on the side was very curious.

"Need I say more?" Zhang Shenfei smiled faintly, "If the girl was good, Banggeng would have told Qin Huairu when he corresponded with his family every month.

But not only did he not say it, he kept it a secret. It was obvious that he was afraid to say it. "

Why don’t you dare to say it? Of course it’s because there is something wrong with the woman.

Xu Jingli nodded and looked at Zhang Shenfei with starry eyes: "Uncle Zhang, you are right, you are really amazing. You are worthy of being the Uncle Zhang I like."

Xu Huizhen: “…”

Tian Xiaozao: “…”

Zhang Shenliang looked at his brother with a complicated look.

Zhang Shenfei touched his nose awkwardly and turned his gaze to Zhang Jianshe: "Am I right?"

"Almost. Actually, the girl is pretty, with a nice figure. But her family background is not good...

The two developed a deep revolutionary bond during their time raising pigs.
