The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 231 Returning to the old place
2015 years.

58-year-old Chen Huaiyang packed his bags and planned to take a stroll with his wife to the place where he had gone to the countryside.

The reason was that Yang Xiaolin suddenly felt emotional. Time had passed in the blink of an eye and most of her life had slipped through her fingers. She suddenly recalled the time when she went to the countryside and felt a lot of emotion.

Seeing that his wife was in a low mood, Chen Huaiyang suggested taking her to revisit the old place, which could be regarded as revisiting the old path.

Yang Xiaolin agreed without hesitation. How many more years can she continue to work hard at this age?

While we can still move around, we must not leave any regrets behind!

When my arms and legs are old and I still have to use crutches, I won’t be able to go out even if I want to.

Over the years, I have traveled all over the country and experienced different customs and habits. I have broadened my horizons. At least I am no longer like a frog in a well, only able to see the sky above my head.

Yang Xiaolin's eyes sparkled as she asked excitedly, "Are you really going? Then I'll go and buy some tickets."

Chen Huaiyang patted his packed bag and said, "How could this be false? I have packed all my things. At our age, we can't ask for anything more. If we want to go, we can go. We can't leave any regrets."

Once you've been there, you don't have to worry about it.

Neither of them were impetuous people, but they still did something impetuous.

As soon as they went out, the man with glasses and the Tian Dong couple appeared. It was obvious that they had been watching them since morning.

The man with glasses looked at them with resentful eyes, complaining in his tone, "How could you leave us behind when you went out to have fun without even telling us? Are you worthy of our friendship?"

"We have supported each other for half our lives, so how can we not have a share in the retirement enjoyment? We should be generous and not be stingy. Who doesn't have money to travel?"

Tian Dong agreed with a smile, "Xu Hai is right. More company means more fun. It won't be a problem for my husband and I to follow along, right?"

Seeing that they were well prepared, what else could Chen Huaiyang say?
Just follow!

After all, I'm old now. How many chances can we get together and play together?

"Go if you want to. I'm not stopping you."

"Aren't you afraid that you don't want to run and think that we are meddling?"

"Old Xu, are you going alone? Everyone has a wife to accompany them, don't you feel lonely?"

The man with glasses waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "I would like someone to accompany me, but my wife doesn't want to follow me. She is addicted to mahjong and went to play mahjong with her sisters again."

"She was so disgusted when she asked me to go out with her. She told me not to get in her way. She finally had some time to relax and not be tied down by so many things. I should stop restricting her all the time."

"So I had no choice but to be thick-skinned and come here alone."

"Let's hurry! Today's bullet trains are much faster than the trains back then. To be honest, when I think of the past, I really feel a little homesick."

"Do you feel excited? It's like going home."

A group of five people set off happily, pulling their suitcases.

When I got on the high-speed train, I recalled the congestion of that year. Although there was a lot of disgust in my tone, there was still a bit of nostalgia.

After all, that is their youth!

Although the conditions were not good, it was a period of sincerity.

At that age, people have the most experience. Even if the conditions are difficult, they can still get through it. "Brother Yang, do you remember the first time we took a train?"

Chen Huaiyang rolled his eyes and said with disdain, "How could I not remember? Thanks to you, I have a deep impression. I can remember it for you for the rest of my life."

The man with glasses was so furious back then. He had never experienced any hardship, so he yelled at others when he saw them being wronged.

They felt that he lacked the good qualities of unity and friendship, and directed their disdainful tone at him.

Chen Huaiyang didn't indulge anyone and just put the blame on him. Didn't he dislike it? Then let him experience it himself.

He wants to be a good comrade and serve the people, so how can he not be satisfied?
The man with glasses shook his head and sighed, "I was young and ignorant, and I had to be taught a lesson. I was soft-hearted before and never considered that the other party wanted to take advantage of me."

"My nose is almost numb from the foul smell along the way. It's you who can do such a thing. Who else can do such a thing?"

"Looking back now, I can still feel the frustration I felt at the time. I really think you were such a bad person."

Chen Huaiyang rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay any attention to him. "If you hadn't been nosy, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for being too nosy."

"After all, I'm not a person who cares about things, I'm not a person. If you don't like me and you want me to be nice to you, that's impossible."

When talking about the past, everyone was immersed in memories. Even if it was a bad experience, it was still a rare experience. Looking back, they felt emotional and naive at the time.

The man with glasses said, "I was hungry all night on the way! I wanted to compete with you, but I didn't expect to lose my dinner."

"That's all. You have good intentions, but the little girl hasn't even tasted the sweetness yet, and all the benefits are given to others. You are really insightful!"

Chen Huaiyang smiled, "At least you have some self-awareness. You know you are not as smart as me."

The idea of ​​favoring boys over girls was very serious at that time. Not only were the little girls' clothes short, but they were also covered with patches. It was obvious at a glance that they were not valued.

Food is so precious, and she may not eat it even if you give it to her. In that case, why should you be so kind?

It’s better to keep it to fill your stomach!
Obviously, the man with glasses couldn't see through it at first.

The man with glasses looked at Chen Huaiyang's boastful look, his face full of indescribable confusion. How could this guy be so arrogant just because of a few words of praise?
That’s too much!
"I didn't praise you, but you look so proud."

"You are just a little harder-hearted than me!"

"What were you thinking when you sat with your sister-in-law? Were you attracted by the pretty young women you educated?"

Chen Huaiyang shrugged, "My wife is beautiful, we are attracted to each other, you can't understand it."

The man with glasses is not a careful person, otherwise if they live together, there would be clues to follow and he would not have failed to notice anything.

At that time, Chen Huaiyang had never really thought about getting married. After all, life was hard, they had little to eat, and one more person would mean one more mouth to feed.

At most, I want to find someone to keep me company, to take advantage of someone during my busy schedule and to have a taste of something sweet. After all, there are very few ways to relieve boredom, and who would refuse if it could be more fun?
As for getting married later, it was just a matter of going with the flow.

It's nice to have a wife that suits your taste.

We chatted non-stop along the way, time passed quickly, and when we arrived at the station, we got off the bus with our suitcases.

No matter how fast and comfortable the train was, sitting for a long time would make one tired. The five of them found a hotel to stay in temporarily, planning to recover before going to the main team.
