Receive with the sky

On the day he got home, Super Chen put down his suitcase and knocked on the door of his uncle's house.Uncle's house and Chen Chao's house are extended from two ends of an old house. Most of the old house has been demolished, and now they are in the middle of the two new houses, separated only by the living room of the old house.Grandpa opened the door, and grandma was also at home. They knew that Super Chen came back that day with a smile on his face, but there was still a trace of unnatural expression caught by Super Chen. Maybe it was a strange feeling, a familiar strange feeling.

Relocating household registration is a very troublesome thing. Even the backward Chinese society is already an information society, and even the relevant departments are already information departments that keep pace with the times, but these high-tech conveniences for human beings are always destined for ordinary people. No share, less than a little advantage.

In those days, after going back and forth from Fujian to Chongqing several times, Chen Chao finally found all the departments, stamped all the stamps, completed all the procedures, and got these two stamps printed in red from the household registration departments on both sides. On the one hand, you need a relocation certificate, and on the other side you need a relocation certificate.Originally, Chao Chen wanted someone to go back first, and temporarily put his household registration in Chongqing.But my mother strongly disagreed, and insisted on moving the household registration back first. People kept coming back, as if this household registration was more important than his people.

Therefore, Chen Chao prepared to come back from the end of June, because the household registration matter took time until the end of July, and he really came back with the household registration transfer certificate.Because of the invalidity of the migration certificate, on the second day after I came back, my mother led me, carrying the migration certificate, to the household registration department of the town's police station.

Get on the car and continue east along the provincial highway.Looking at the fields and forests outside the window, as well as the villages passing by, Chao Chen felt a lot of emotions in his heart.How long has it been since he walked this road, when did the things on both sides of the road become so small and crowded.

I think back then, when Chao Chen was in junior high school, the road was so wide. At that time, he was like a frog jumping out of the well. It's just a jump from a small well to a big well.For three years and three years, Chen Chao jumped from level to level, and each well was bigger than the next, endlessly.Now he returns to the smallest well, chasing lost time.

In the household registration department of the police station, my mother talked with the receptionist there about household registration and work.As early as a few years ago, everyone was looking forward to leaving their rural hukou and looking for opportunities to move their hukou to the city. Almost all those who were admitted to universities moved their hukou to the city where the university is located.It seems that this rural household registration represents your status as a farmer, and the status of a farmer is the lowest and most humble class in today's society.That's what my mother thought, but Chao Chen didn't think so.

As a kind of occupation, farmers have formed a hardworking and simple nature passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.Chen Chao was born in the countryside, and his ancestors have been farmers for generations. He has been farming since he was ten years old, and he has been a farmer for at least six years. He will never get rid of his identity as a farmer all his life, but Chen Chao is proud of it.Looking at the current rural areas, no one is willing to move their household registration to the city.Even those who have moved their household registration to the city are preparing to move back to the countryside, like him.

Of course, Chen Chao didn't move his household registration back to the countryside for the purpose of dividing a piece of land, and he also doubted whether they would give him a piece of land.The reason why Chen Chao agreed to move his mother's household registration back was to avoid some troubles, and the household registration was attached to the talent market. Not to mention some procedures, he had to pay an affiliation fee every year.Hehe, the talent market, there is such a word appearing in the modern society, it is worthy of the economic era, Chen Chao doesn't feel any difference between the talent market and the population market.Some people may still ask, how will Super Chen register if he wants to buy a house in the city in the future?What he wants to say is, go to your commercial housing, but I want to aspire to become an idyllic poet.

When talking about Chen Chao's work, the mother seemed incomprehensible.At that time, Chen Chao applied for the college entrance examination and chose to major in mechanical design, manufacturing and automation in engineering. She was very satisfied, because everyone told her that this major is very good, very suitable for boys, has a good employment rate, stable work, and relies on technology. Eat, the older the more delicious.However, after graduating from university, Chen Chao was not peaceful in the manufacturing industry. After three years of working like a horse, he was completely tired of the sweet spot of industrial technology.The mother thought that Chen Chao's major was not good, and said that she regretted that she should not have chosen this major.After returning home by car from the police station, Chen Chao corrected that it was not the problem of this major, but his own problem. It was because he didn't like industrial technology, and it was because he was not suitable for this major.After hearing this, the mother comforted Chen Chao in a good-tempered manner, saying that it's okay, when you apply for a postgraduate entrance examination, you should think carefully and choose a new major.

When it comes to applying for postgraduate entrance examinations, there are rumors of World War I, World War II, and even World War III on the forum, but Chen Chao has experienced a long-term civil war.Since [-], intermittently, he has thought about various possible majors, such as philosophy, physics, journalism, history, and literature.Chen Chao began to get tired of his half-heartedness, and sometimes felt that he would end up accomplishing nothing.But most of the time, he is full of confidence, as if the next moment, he will become a philosopher, a physicist, a writer, a historian, or a writer.But the mother was very realistic. She reminded Chen Chao that since ancient times, those people were poor in the first half of their lives, so how long would she have to wait to enjoy Chen Chao's blessings!

So, Chen Chao and his mother reached a compromise agreement, first have a job, and then strive to become everyone.Since Chen Chao didn't want to return to the manufacturing industry, he chose to be a teacher. After all, he still has some teaching experience and knowledge reserve.But to be a teacher, his knowledge reserve is all in science, so he can only choose to be a science teacher.Therefore, Chen Chao chose physics, and while working as a physics teacher, he applied for a graduate student in theoretical physics.This idea seems to be a mutual agreement after talking with his mother, but in fact, Chen Chao seems to have thought it over as early as in Chongqing, otherwise he would not have left all his books in Chongqing, and only brought home the materials for the postgraduate entrance examination in physics. .Therefore, during that month, Chen Chao immersed himself in the knowledge of general physics and quantum mechanics.

Chao Chen didn't know how to describe the life in the countryside. To be precise, there was no word that could properly describe the life in the countryside.On a sunny day, accompanied by the morning sun, the quiet village wakes up amidst the smoke.The young people went up to the mountains and down to the fields to start a day of farm work.Most of the old people stayed at home, shaking withered and yellow banana fans.The children are hanging around, calling for friends.In the evening, the setting sun hangs on the top of the mountain, and the village gradually falls into the night and sleeps peacefully under the smoke.In the evening of summer, there is often a thunderstorm.Especially on typhoon days, although the typhoon has crossed the mountains and came here, it is already very weak, but for those weak crops, the destructive power of the typhoon is still not to be underestimated.

On this day, the No. 12 typhoon "Tramei" landed along the coast of Fujian. When it came to Jianzhou in northern Fujian, nearly half of the crops in the village, long beans, were destroyed.Chen Chao saw with his own eyes that young people rode two-wheeled vehicles and drove tractors to the fields overnight to sort out the messy long beans to ensure the harvest in the morning.My mother said that farmers depend on the sky for their food.Sometimes, Chao Chen doesn't feel that he lives in the countryside, without the romance of the countryside.This is a group of urbanites living in the countryside. They want to have the same life as urbanites, but they can only rely on the material conditions in the countryside.

If they don’t expect extravagant city life, they don’t need to think about those brand-name daily necessities, they don’t need to think about buying a community house in a crowded city, they don’t need to think about having a four-wheeler that is convenient to go to the city, and they don’t need to think about Buy high-end milk powder for your children, don’t think about getting them into the best schools, don’t think about being a farmer when they grow up, and don’t want to become a real urbanite, then they will surely live better , at least they must live better than the people in the city, because they have high-quality air, they have unpolluted water, they have the healthiest and freshest food, and they don't have to go to the countryside for hiking, because they live in other tourist areas.Chen Chao thought of the jujube tree in the yard that had been planted for three years, how much he wanted to grow and grow old with it.

The days without work are fleeting.Soon, it has been half a month since I returned home.Chao Chen recalled that the first time he was away from home was when he went to Changsha to study at university.At that time, he was still full of hope for everything in the future, such as studies, love, wealth, and freedom.Changsha, that will be the farthest journey in his life so far.Even, in the 19 years since he was born, he has never left a small county town, how terrible it is!

Now, he finally had such an opportunity, he was going to cross two provinces to a city he knew nothing about.This is a [-]-hour bumpy journey on the train, and the only previous experience on the train took only four hours.He felt that a new life was about to begin. His future, his everything, would be in Changsha, at least not in this small county.He dragged his suitcase and walked out from the east station of the county seat.Afterwards, he went straight to the bus to the train station, as if he was too lazy to take an extra step on the land.

As the bus passed through the urban area of ​​the county seat, he inevitably glanced at the Drum Tower standing in the center of the urban area.That is the landmark building of this county, and it reminds people on the road all the time that this county was once an imperial capital, and it also had a glorious period.But he, who was about to leave, didn't take it seriously. To him, this place was just a gloomy small county, not an imperial capital, without any splendor.Even the Drum Tower in front of me is not an ancient building, but a new building rebuilt in recent years. The ancient building has long been abandoned and destroyed.Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the thing in front of him was like a joke.
