After buying the ticket at the bus station, Li Qingshan found a seat by the window and sat down.

His hometown is called Li Village. Because there is a river running through the village, it is also called Qinghe Village. There are about [-] households in the village, which are under the jurisdiction of Shimopan Commune.

In fact, if the old lady was not sick, the Li family would not be so poor.

In the 60s, the conditions were harsh, and there was an extreme shortage of educated people, so the higher authorities attached great importance to education issues. During the two years of Li Qingshan's high school, he was the school's learning model and advanced representative every year, which was a first-level indicator.

It clearly stipulates that first-class high school students can subsidize four yuan per month.

Second-class high school students receive a monthly subsidy of three yuan.

Third-class high school students receive a subsidy of 2 yuan per month.

Li Qingshan was particularly frugal, every time he went to school he would carry the cheapest stick noodles from home, and then prepare some farm items like dried sweet potatoes.

In addition, Ran Qiuye often sent him lunch boxes, and every month Li Qingshan was able to send some money home.

Thinking of this, Li Qingshan clenched his fists secretly. In his previous life, he had experienced a situation where he wanted to support his son but his relatives were absent, so he cherished the affection around him even more.

For the rest of his life, he must make his mother and younger sister live happily!
Li Qingshan's house is next to the threshing ground of the commune, a simple straw house built of loess embryos.

The old woman was sitting by the door with her younger sister, twisting hemp rope. When she was young, she suffered from severe pneumoconiosis because she worked with Father Li in the mine.

In severe spring and summer, even breathing is very difficult.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Li Qingshan thought of a lot of words on the road, but ended up with this one sentence.

The old woman thought she was hallucinating, so she looked up at Li Qingshan.

But Little Swallow, who was squatting beside him to help, noticed it first, and ran towards Li Qingshan happily.

"Mother, it's Brother Shan who's back!"

The little swallow rejoiced, and naughtily climbed onto Li Qingshan's neck.

"Hey, why are you back here? Are you tired? Have you eaten yet?"

The old lady hurriedly stood up, and helped Li Qingshan to pat the ashes off his body with great concern.

"Mother, my son misses you! So I came here to see you?"

Li Qingshan looked at his emaciated old lady, and felt sad.

"I'm fine. I haven't been sick since I bought the medicine with the money I sent last time. Don't delay your school's serious work when you come back."

Although she has pneumoconiosis, she still speaks very fluently.

"It's all right, I've asked the old principal for leave. This is not a residential room allocated by the school, so I specially picked you up to enjoy the blessings in the city."

Li Qingshan didn't plan to tell the news about his resignation for the time being, so as to save the old man from worrying about himself, he just told some jokes to make them happy.

Xu Chunyan refused at first. After all, Li Qingshan's foundation is still young, and she was a burden in the past, but under Li Qingshan's repeated requests, she still smiled and agreed.

"Brother Shan, are we going to the city today? Can Little Swallow go to school then? Little Swallow wants to go to school, not to catch crickets all the time."

The girl rubbed her fingers, she was as malnourished as Li Qingshan, her little face was yellow and fluttering, especially her cuteness, it made people feel distressed.

Li Qingshan scratched the little magpie's nose: "That's right, after arriving in the city, the little magpie can go to school with his schoolbag on his back, and he can also wear new clothes, and he doesn't have to be hungry anymore."

Only by staying with his relatives can Li Qingshan feel a sense of belonging.

Because of the transfer of household registration, Li Qingshan has been busy in Qingshui Village for a long time, and finally paid the price of a package of big front gates to get a certificate in Shimopan Commune, which is not complete.

Tomorrow he has to take the certificate to the street office to register and make a register, so that it is considered complete. Although it is very cumbersome, Li Qingshan feels that it is worth the money.

There is no way, who would make it more difficult for future generations to do something bigger than this, as the saying goes, contentment is always happy, Li Qingshan is very enlightened.

After completing the formalities, Li Qingshan didn't stay long in Qingshui Village. Li Qingshan gave some tableware and chopsticks to his neighbors who had helped his family, and just took a few rags and got on the bus back to the city.

Both Xu Chunyan and Xiao Yanzi left Shimopan Commune for the first time, and it was very novel for them to sit in the last row and look at the scenery outside the window.

When we arrived in the yard, the little black pig was nestling securely next to the stake and eating pigweed. Lou Xiaoe sat sideways and watched it chew quietly.

Only then did Li Qingshan remember that he left in a hurry and forgot about Piggy, but fortunately Lou Xiaoe found out in time, otherwise he would probably be screaming from hunger by now.

"Qingshan, this is your aunt? I said why you didn't see anyone during the day, so you went back to your hometown in the countryside to pick up your aunt, didn't you eat? Or..."

Lou Xiao'e was embarrassed to realize that she didn't know how to cook at all in the middle of her speech, and more importantly, she herself was hungry all day, so she ate canned beef and steamed buns in the morning to satisfy her cravings.

"Can I really eat? Little Swallow is really hungry!"

Qin Xiaoyan rubbed her stomach, and said aggrievedly, after sitting in a donkey cart for a long time, although she recovered from motion sickness, she was still very hungry.

"Ah, of course there is no problem, that is, even my sister can't cook..."

Lou Xiaoe bent down and rubbed the top of Little Swallow's head, and said regretfully.

"Little Yanzi, you can't be so rude when talking to your sister. This lesbian is really embarrassed. Children from the countryside have never seen the world."

Xu Chunyan looked at Lou Xiao'e apologetically, and felt that the girls in the city had temperament. No wonder the bachelors in the village clamored to marry the stinky girls in the city even though they were wearing bad hats.

My son is not young anymore, depending on her age, although this girl is a few years older, she is better at being prudent and good at managing the house, if she is a matchmaker...

How did Li Qingshan know that his old mother was thinking about these things, after unlocking the lock, he turned around and invited kindly: "Since I haven't eaten, why don't you come to my house and eat something, and I will treat it as a reward for helping me feed the pigs."

"Just waiting for your words, I will contribute the ingredients and you will contribute!"

Lou Xiao'e also liked the excitement very much, so she didn't refuse, and happily ran to her home to pick up a lot of things, besides wild garlic, peppers, dried mushrooms, and even a piece of bacon with DC oil.

This made Jia Zhang, who has always been paying attention to the Li family, jealous.

"This Lou Xiao'e is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. As soon as my man left, he stole him on the back foot. It really embarrassed the entire hospital."

Jia Zhang spat, encouraging the elder master Yi Zhonghai to discipline him.
