Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

The young woman sitting with Deng Shirong, she and her son ate the most common sweet potato.

Sitting opposite them was a couple who looked to be in their fifties or sixties. They brought white porridge with pickles, and one person also had a boiled egg.

While the couple was peeling the eggs, the four or five-year-old child, who had been sitting quietly without making any noise, was eating sweet potatoes while looking at the eggs in the hands of the couple, with the longing in his eyes. Everyone can see it.

The elderly couple looked at each other, and finally the aunt broke her boiled egg in half, handed one half to the little boy, and said, "Child, take it and eat it!"

The little boy was very excited and subconsciously stretched out his hand, but when he reached halfway, he remembered something. He quickly looked up at his mother and asked, "Mom?"

If it were the young woman herself, she would definitely reject the other party's kindness. It's not easy for everyone in this era, and eggs are not something you can eat whenever you want.

But as a mother, when she saw her son's eager eyes, she couldn't refuse at all. She could only nodded with difficulty and said, "Thank you, grandma."

Seeing that his mother agreed, the little boy showed a rare smile, reached out to take the half of the egg, and said thanks: "Thank you, grandma!"

The aunt smiled and said: "You're welcome, kid, eat quickly!"

Although the little boy was almost drooling, he still handed the half egg to his mother first and said: "Mom, you eat first!"

The young woman was both happy and saddened by her son's understanding. She said softly: "Mom won't eat it, so you can eat it yourself!"

The little boy said "Oh" and then ate the eggs with relish.

Deng Shirong saw this scene.

He thought for a while, then reached into the sack and took out an oil paper bag. Of course, his action was just to cover up. In fact, the oil paper bag was taken out from the system space.

Opening the oil paper bag, there were six large meat buns inside.

Then, Deng Shirong picked up two of the big meat buns, handed them to the little boy and said, "Son, this is for you, take it with your mother to eat!"

The little boy was sipping the rare eggs. When he saw the two big meat buns handed over by Deng Shirong, he asked curiously: "Uncle, what are these?"

In later generations, not to mention three-year-olds, even two-year-olds will know Baozi.

But this era is different. City people may know steamed buns, but rural children may not have seen steamed buns, let alone eaten them.

Of course, this situation is mainly for the south, which doesn’t eat much pasta.

Therefore, it is not surprising at all that the little boy does not recognize Baozi.

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "These are steamed buns, they are very delicious."

Before the child could answer, the young woman said: "Uncle, this is too expensive, you can keep it for yourself!"

Deng Shirong said with a smile on his face: "I still have plenty here. In this weather, the buns won't last long. If you don't eat them now, they may go bad tomorrow. That would be too wasteful, so don't follow me." You’re welcome, take it and eat it with your kids!”

Originally, the people who took this long-distance train were all people who met by chance. After this meeting, they might never have the chance to see each other again in their lifetime, so Deng Shirong went to sleep after getting on the train, not wanting to interact too much with them.

But everyone has a compassionate heart. Judging from the clothes of the young woman and the child, the mother and daughter's family situation is probably very difficult. The aunt sitting opposite is willing to give half an egg to the child. Naturally, Deng Shirong doesn't care how many eggs he gives. Meat buns.

After hearing what Deng Shirong said, the young woman reached out to take the meat buns and said with a moved face: "Thank you, uncle!"

Then, Deng Shirong picked up two of them and handed them to the uncle and aunt sitting opposite, and said with a smile: "Biao, you guys also have a taste. For such big buns, two are enough for me!"

The uncle and aunt were stunned for a moment when they heard this. Apparently they didn't expect that Deng Shirong would give the buns to them.

The uncle shook his head and refused: "Biao, we don't need it. People of your age have big appetites. How can you eat two buns?"

Deng Shirong forced the buns into the hands of the uncle and aunt, and said: "If I had to work hard every day two years ago, these two buns would really not be enough for me to eat, but I haven't done that kind of physical work for two years. The amount of food is much smaller than before. Two steamed buns are enough. Besides, I also brought a lot of other food, so I won’t be hungry.”

"This... okay, then thank you, Biao!"

So, several people took the meat buns and ate them with relish.

The little boy probably ate meat buns for the first time. He wolfed them down at such a young age, and would say things like "Mom, these buns are so delicious" from time to time.

Even in later generations, meat buns are very popular. Needless to say in this era of lack of food and clothing, they are a rare delicacy for both city people and country people. It is very special for a little boy to behave like this. Normal things.

Fortunately, Deng Shirong had already considered various scenarios when he stuffed food into the system space for more than a year, so he divided the food into hot food and cold food in the system space. Now the meat buns he took out were from cold food. The area was taken out.

Otherwise, it would be nonsense to take out steaming meat buns on such occasions.

With this episode, several of them no longer felt unfamiliar when they first got on the bus.

After some exchanges, Deng Shirong learned that Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen's destination this time was also the capital. They were visiting their youngest son's family who was working in the capital.

As for the young woman surnamed Jiang, although her words were somewhat unclear, Deng Shirong also had a general understanding of her situation. Her life experience was a bloody plot often shown in TV dramas.

To put it simply, she fell in love with a male educated youth who worked in their production team. Unfortunately, the male educated youth had no intention of taking root in the countryside, and his parents also opposed him marrying a country woman. After the country resumed the college entrance examination, he He took the college entrance examination and was successfully admitted to a junior college in Beijing.

In this era, universities are all assigned, and no one knows where they will be assigned to work after graduation.

Moreover, after he was admitted to college, his future became brighter, and his horizons were no longer limited to the countryside. It was normal for two people who were not married to break up.

Then, after the male educated youth left, the young woman named Jiang found out that she was pregnant.

Pregnancy before marriage will be looked down upon even in later generations, let alone in this day and age. Although Mrs. Jiang did not say much in this regard, the experienced Deng Shirong and Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen can all imagine it. What was her life like in the village?

Aunt Chen did not accuse her, but just asked: "Xiao Jiang, after the child's father went to college, did you still have contact with him?"

Mrs. Jiang shook her head and said sadly: "After he left that year, he didn't even write a letter to me."

Aunt Chen sighed and said, "We haven't contacted him for so many years. Where will you take your children to find him?"

Mrs. Jiang bit her lip and said: "An educated youth who came to our village to jump in the queue with him back then returned to our village to visit everyone. I know his address from this educated youth, and I will definitely be able to find him. "

Aunt Chen asked again: "Xiao Jiang, what is your purpose of going to the capital to find him this time? Do you want to start over with him?"

Young woman Jiang shook her head and said with red eyes: "He is already married. I came to see him this time mainly to talk to him about the children. My abilities are limited and I cannot provide a good living environment for the children. He has been bullied in the village. As the father of the child, I hope he can bear the responsibility he should bear. "

Deng Shirong knew in his heart that although after so many years, he didn't think the male educated youth would admit his guilt, but for this young woman Jiang, perhaps this was the only way to change her son's living environment. No matter whether it succeeded or not, it was worth it. Give it a try.

If he could get his son out of the unfriendly living environment in the village, the best he could do would be to maintain the status quo, and it wouldn't get any worse anyway.

Aunt Chen's views are actually similar to Deng Shirong's. She doesn't think that this male educated youth who was able to walk away in the past can shoulder the responsibilities he should bear. It is more likely that he will not admit his guilt and sever ties with this child. This will not work. It affects his current family.

Of course, these are just their speculations. No one knows how the male educated youth will react after seeing Mrs. Jiang and her son.

…

On the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, Deng Shirong arrived in the capital for the third time.

After leaving the station, Mrs. Jiang was shocked when she saw the busy scene of traffic outside, and a flash of panic flashed in her eyes.

This was the first time in her life that she had traveled far away. When she arrived in Nanning, she had been shocked by the bustling scene there. Looking at the roads with endless traffic flowing in all directions, if it hadn't been for the help of enthusiastic people, they would not have been able to travel. Whether mother and son can find the train station and whether they know how to buy tickets to go to the capital are all problems.

Now, in a capital city that is countless times bigger and more prosperous than Nanning, trying to find the person you want with an address in your hand is really a huge test for Mrs. Jiang. .

Aunt Chen was a very enthusiastic person. Seeing Mrs. Jiang's confused look, she said softly: "Xiao Jiang, you are unfamiliar with this place. You are carrying luggage and a child. It is not convenient to find someone. You have to find someone." Otherwise, you can follow us to my youngest son's place to settle down, and then we can accompany you to find someone, what do you think?"

Young Mrs. Jiang was moved when she heard this, but she also had the kind of character that didn't want to cause trouble to others. She hesitated for a moment, but still refused: "Thank you, aunt. It's just my situation, so I won't cause you any trouble. I can do it myself." of."

Aunt Chen originally wanted to persuade Gao a few more words, but she suddenly remembered that she took someone back so rashly. When her younger daughter-in-law saw it, she didn't know whether Gao was happy, so she refrained from persuading her. Instead, she reached out and touched the child's head and said to Jiang The young woman said: "In this case, then you should be careful and ask the police for help if anything happens."

"Thank you, ma'am, I understand."

After all, we spent three or four days together in the car, and they were both old cousins ​​from Guangxi. Deng Shirong couldn't stand by and watch, so he answered: "Xiao Jiang, I have nothing to do now, and I have been to the capital a few times. , I am quite familiar with this place. If you can trust me, I will accompany you to find the father of the child!"

Aunt Chen couldn't help, and she felt a little unhappy. Now that Deng Shirong, who had a good impression, took the initiative to help, she quickly said: "Xiao Jiang, please agree, if your Uncle Deng can help, we can rest assured!" "

Mrs. Jiang hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Deng. I'll excuse you then!"
