Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

Chen Xiang and I woke up at dawn. In fact, we slept very lightly last night. We were all looking forward to the journey that started today, a little nervous and a little excited.

The sound of a car came from outside, and someone asked if this was Zhang Cheng's house?

I hurriedly opened the door, and saw a robust uncle coming driving a donkey cart, I hurriedly let him in: "Uncle Cheng, come in and drink a bowl of hot water."

"okay!"

Uncle Cheng entered the house, and Chen Xiang made ginger soup and gave him a bowl. It happened that Chen Xiang and I were preparing for dinner. In the morning, we made dumplings and ate eggs, which meant that the journey was complete.

Uncle Cheng ate a bowl of dumplings and an egg, and drank a bowl of dumpling soup. He was satisfied and helped us move things quickly.

There are not many things in the house, just some daily necessities, and I even brought the newly bought farm tools, so it was still full of cars.

Chen Xiang and I wore our wedding attire and got into the car hand in hand.

Some people in the village got up early and were curious to see us move. Mrs. Liu Zhao brought a large family to see us off.

Soon more and more people gathered, and many people only knew that we were leaving. They were all surprised and talked a lot. I looked at Chen Xiang. Although he was holding my hand tightly and was a little nervous, he still With his head held high, he got into the car calmly and sat next to me.

I said goodbye to Liu Zhao's family, and had nothing to say to those villagers, so I asked Uncle Cheng to drive out of the village.

Transportation is inconvenient these days, and we have to go to such a far place, basically saying goodbye to this life forever.

The donkey cart creaked and drove out of the village, and those figures gradually blurred.

I heard that Qiu Dazhong has proposed marriage to Su Mai's family, I don't know if it has been done.

I heard that Liu Xi had made a life-long commitment with Qiu Xiaomei regardless of Liu Zhao's objection. I don't know how they ended up.

I heard that someone told Sun Laogen about his marriage recently, and he had suggested Chen Xiang before.

I heard that Su Mai's aunt's fetal image was a little unstable after the last time, and the family was very busy.

It is said that……

These things have nothing to do with me from now on, I don’t think about them, I forget them all, the future is so far away and so promising, these people from the past will disappear in my life forever.

The wind on the road is still very cold, but our mood is very relaxed.

When they arrived at the gate of Cui's house, the Cui family was just loading things into the carriage. Look, everything was just right, how nice it was.

The Cui family hired a carriage for me and Chen Xiang alone. It’s not big and simple, but it’s good enough. Uncle Cheng helped us move our things into the carriage. The quilts were spread out to sit and cover them, so that the things would take up all the space. After getting out of the carriage, Chen Xiang and I could only sit down and straighten our legs. The toil of the journey can be imagined.

We helped the Cui family carry their things to the carriage, they had a lot of things, and the carriage was quite crowded, the four of us hired two carriages, boss Cui’s cousin, who is my future old employer, took one with Cui Changyu, Mrs. Cui took her child Cui Changrui in one car.

I took Chen Xiang to meet Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui. Mrs. Cui was a kind person, and she held Chen Xiang's hand and talked for a long time.

I wanted to pay Uncle Cheng for the carriage, but he didn't want it, saying that a meal of dumplings would be enough, and then left. I was grateful to him from the bottom of my heart.

Farewell to Boss Cui, we are on our way.

The carriage is not very comfortable to sit in. Fortunately, there are only me and Chen Xiang in the carriage, so we can be more casual regardless of the image. The window paper has a piece of bamboo curtain and cloth curtain, which cannot block the wind and is a bit cold, but we still open it to see the scenery along the way. , like two silly children who have never seen the world.

Today is the sixteenth, and almost all the shops in the town will be open. It is still early, and we can see through the window that they are busy opening. The whole town finally woke up after sleeping all winter.

It was a unique smell in the morning. Chen Xiang took a deep breath and exhaled again. He had never been to the town, so he was very curious about all this.

When we got out of the town, it was the official road and the yellow soil road. There were only farmland and woods around, and there was nothing to see, so we put down the curtains, took out a small hand stove to warm our hands, and I took out the thousand-character text, and the two of us huddled together We read books and learned to read together. We couldn’t use pen and ink in the bumpy car, so we used our fingers to make gestures on the car and the stool. I was moved by my spirit of studying hard.don't say hey

It's quite interesting, the conditions are difficult, but I study harder, and I cherish the rare learning opportunities, like those poor children who are thirsty for knowledge in elementary school textbooks.

We have learned all the way, and we have already read the thousand-character prose. The difficulty is learning to write traditional characters. Chen Xiang is slower than me because he can't write a single word, but I can at least write those that are the same as simplified characters. Hahaha.

We settled down in the tea shed at noon, and it really was a thatched shed with a few old tables and chairs, and a steaming pot to provide hot water. Just drink some water.

The owner brought dry food, and Chen Xiang and I also took out two flatbreads, two salted eggs, and some side dishes. The tea shed was run by a couple, and they took our food inside. After the pot was heated up, we took it out, and we sat around a table drinking hot water and eating. We all ate together and sat together. There was no distinction between men and women. is the most important.

They all thought that Chen Xiang's pancakes were delicious, and the wife of the owner praised and praised, even Chen Xiang felt embarrassed.

We ate and chatted, and my boss asked me what my plans were, about myself and about Cui Ji.

I don’t always like to go around and cover up. Many estrangements and suspicions are caused by ambiguous attitudes, so I said bluntly, I plan to work hard in Cuiji, and open a store for myself after saving money.

My boss laughed, saying that he likes my straightforward nature, but he doesn’t like the kind of person who clearly wants to own property but pretends that he wants to work with his boss for the rest of his life. Only by working hard can we have a bright future.

I think this is the reason.

He asked me what kind of store I wanted to open. To be honest, I hadn’t made up my mind yet, so I saved money first.

He asked me what I planned to do in Cuiji.

I thought about it and said, "Do we have to pass through many counties and states along the way?"

The boss nodded: "It will probably pass through two states, but they are all marginal, and can pass through a dozen counties."

I said, "Well, I'll take this opportunity to visit all the counties, mainly to see their stationery shops, to understand the situation, and then I can start to make plans."

He said yes, it is right to understand first.

He asked me about my future direction. I still plan to spend my energy on new product innovation and store management. I am really not good at technology flow.

The owner said no problem, they are looking for someone who has new ideas and understands business.

I learned that in addition to their own manufacturing workshop, the Cui family actually has a shop selling their own products, but the business is just average, after all, everyone has the same thing.

The owner intends to hand over the shop to Cui Changyu, and let him slowly take over the family business, saying that if I want to go to the stationery store, I will invite Cui Changyu to go with me. Cui Changyu is very happy, and I am also very happy. , to see more things.

After discussing these things, we finished our meal. Cui’s family brought sesame cakes, which were very fragrant and super delicious. They were very sweet and salty like Chen Xiang’s cakes, which satisfied my taste buds. Haha, the three coachmen ate them They have been sitting outside the carriage all the time. They are much colder and more tired than us. They must eat and drink to keep up with their physical strength. The owner is very generous to them and brings bacon for them to eat. I think this host is really good.

We filled our water bladders and continued on our way.

We squinted in the car for a while in the afternoon, it was a bit cold and not suitable for sleeping. In the evening we arrived at a county town and found an ordinary inn with a few rooms to live in. Before it was dark, I took Cui Changyu to see Chen Xiang also wanted to go to the stationery store, so he brought him along.

The county seat is much more prosperous than the town. At this time, there are still many shops open, and there are many types and quantities of shops. There are more than one stationery shops.

The stationery store and the bookstore in the county are integrated, some are called study rooms, and some are called bookstores. I went to both, and they are generally similar. There are two rows of shelves in the store, and there are some books on them, including the Four Books and Five Classics. There are also some miscellaneous books, and there are low shelves on the other side, with pens, inks, papers and inkstones on them. I paid attention to the paper, and there are already some jade satin Xuanxuan here. Cui Changyu said that the quality is not bad, but it is not high-quality.

The two clean and simple stores do not seem to have much competitiveness, they are evenly matched, so they opened farther away, so that everyone will have a better life.

I bought a miscellaneous journal and read it on the road to study and pass the time.

The boss said that there will be a night market in the evening, but it is too cold now, so there should not be many stalls.I had no intention of going to the night market, I was sleepy and tired after a day of driving, I just wanted to go back to sleep with Ah Xiang in my arms.

This is the first day. My butt hurts from sitting in the car. How can I survive the next month? The ancient traffic is really suffering.
