Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

The train took most of the day to travel a distance of more than 100 kilometers, and He Yuzhu finally arrived at Lintong Station near evening.

He Yuzhu once again spent another night in the local area by virtue of his identity as a Beijing resident, and with the help of local staff, he got on a bus to northern Shaanxi.

The car was driving on a dirt road, with sand blowing all over the sky, so hard that people couldn't open their eyes. He Yuzhu was so scared that he quickly closed the car window. It was better to be a little stuffy than to eat a mouthful of dirt.

It took He Yuzhu three or four days just to reverse the short distance of 300 kilometers. This was because the people there were simple and honest. In addition, this was northern Shaanxi. If there was anyone with bad intentions, He Yuzhu would probably not be able to reach the holy land of Yan'an in ten days or half a month.

"We have arrived at Yan'an, the final stop."

Although there was still some distance to his destination, He Yuzhu was still very excited when he heard that they had arrived in Yan'an. A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. He was now at that ninety-mile point, and the remaining ten kilometers would be much easier.

He Yuzhu didn't care about his fatigue and continued to use Mudan to lead the way. He soon found out that there was a bus every day to the commune where Tianjiawan was located.

To He Yuzhu, this was like heavenly music. The less steps one could take, the better.

He couldn't make it today, but fortunately the drop-off point was not far from the Yan'an Guesthouse. He Yuzhu took the letter of introduction and spent 20 cents to book a single room. He also gave the service staff two kilograms of national food coupons and asked him to get some food for him and send it to the room.

Although there are all kinds of food in his space, He Yuzhu still wants to get some worldly touch at this moment. The bumpy journey in the past few days has made He Yuzhu doubt his life a little.

After eating a big bowl of臊子面, He Yuzhu felt that he had recovered 80% of his body. After a good sleep, he would wake up early tomorrow morning and be a brave man again.

When he woke up, He Yuzhu was sweating all over, but his sleep quality was good. It should be said that the nights in this era were really quiet, and you could hardly hear the barking of dogs.

He Yuzhu felt very uncomfortable because of the sticky feeling on his body, so he asked the waiter for a basin of water to be brought to his room. Due to limited conditions, he simply wiped it with a towel, and then he felt much more comfortable.

In order to avoid missing the only bus of the day, based on the experience gained in the past few days, today's buses are like the subways in Beijing in later generations. If you want to get a seat, you must first arrive early and then grab a seat.

He Yuzhu had enough national food coupons on him, so he would not compromise himself. He prepared a breakfast that was far superior to others', making even those who ate steamed buns and drank cold water enjoy it.

Even though He Yuzhu felt that he had arrived early enough, he saw that there were already seven or eight people lined up in front of him. Some were squatting smoking, while others were squatting on the ground guarding their luggage and eating breakfast.

It must be said that although the food is not very good, the happiness index of ordinary people is really high nowadays. They don’t have so many pursuits and are already happy as long as they have enough to eat.

Thinking about the afterlife, we won’t have to worry about food, but people will be less happy.

At this moment, He Yuzhu, who was unfamiliar with the place, missed the smartphones of later generations. It would be great if he had a smartphone now and could use Douyin to pass the time.

He Yuzhu also feels that he is a dog. In order to get some traffic on Fanqie, how can he not lick Dou Daddy more? Just a joke.

Back to the topic, just when He Yuzhu was feeling bored, a very old minibus emitting black smoke and swayingly stopped in front of everyone.

Although there were many people on the bus, there was no swarming scene as He Yuzhu had imagined. The people from the old revolutionary base areas are indeed of high quality.

If this happened in Beijing, you would take a bus and see a bunch of old men and women practicing their eloquence on the bus. It would be very annoying.

Soon it was He Yuzhu's turn to get on the car.

"Comrade, the ticket price is twenty cents."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he thought: "This price is really reasonable."

He Yuzhu took out two cents from his pocket and handed it to the ticket seller.

To be on the safe side, He Yuzhu found a seat to put his luggage, then stood up and asked again.

"Comrade, this is the bus we take to Tianjiawan Commune, right?"

When the ticket seller heard that He Yuzhu was going to Tianjiawan Commune, his eyes lit up and he looked He Yuzhu up and down. He racked his brains but couldn't recognize who He Yuzhu was.

Even though He Yuzhu was very thick-skinned, he still blushed a little amid the laughter of everyone in the car after being looked at nakedly by a grown girl.

"Comrade~"

After He Yuzhu reminded her again, Tian Erni finally came to her senses and asked:

"Comrade, I am from Tianjiawan Commune. My name is Tian Erni. How come I don't know you? Are you from our commune? Whose child are you from?"

He Yuzhu thought: "Is this girl so talkative?"

"Comrade Tian Erni, my name is He Yuzhu. I am from Beijing. I came here specifically from Beijing on behalf of Comrade Tian Weiguo to pick up his family."

"Comrade, who are you talking about?"

"Tian Weiguo."

In an instant, Tian Erni's eyes turned red.

He Yuzhu was also confused. Why did the girl start crying when Tian Weiguo was mentioned? Did this old Tian do something outrageous in his hometown?

Tian Weiguo: "You're so lucky to have thought of coming here. Thank you so much~"

After a long while, Tian Erni wiped her tears and said:

"Comrade He, Tian Weiguo is my cousin. Is he now~"

When I heard that Tian Erni was actually Lao Tian’s cousin, I realized what a small world this is. I didn’t have time to think about it and blamed myself for not explaining it clearly. The girl thought Lao Tian was dead.

So I hurriedly explained: "Big sister, your cousin and I are good brothers. We are working together now. Your brother can't go home due to special work. It happened that I came to Shanxi Province on a business trip, so your brother asked me to go to northern Shaanxi to pick up his family to reunite in Beijing."

When Tian Erni heard this, she cried even harder.

She choked and said, "Why didn't my brother ask you to come earlier? My uncle and aunt just passed away last year, wuu ...

Hearing this, He Yuzhu felt very upset. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. He Yuzhu didn't know whether what Lao Tian did was right or wrong.

"Big sister, your sister-in-law and children~"

"Comrade He, my sister-in-law is a good person. My brother has not been home for so many years, and my sister-in-law has been in charge of everything at home. Logically speaking, the people my brother feels most sorry for are my sister-in-law and the children."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement. From ancient times to the present, He Yuzhu has always believed that being a military wife has the hardest life. They have to take care of the elderly and the young, but they cannot take care of themselves. The most torturous thing is receiving a call from the army.

After Tian Erni recovered, she asked about Tian Weiguo's recent situation. After all, everyone in the family thought that Tian Weiguo was dead.

He Yuzhu also told Tian Erni everything he could say. When she heard that her cousin had become so awesome now, she felt very proud.

After all, there are few members in her family, and now there is finally someone to carry the flag.
