A foreign city, dear you

As soon as the eighth day of the first lunar month passed, the mighty returning troops basically left their hometowns again and swarmed back to take up positions along the city.

As a result, the city along the city was like a huge machine that had been rested, roaring and running again.

The streets and alleys in lively areas are crowded with people again; every wide road is lined with vehicles of all kinds.

The time comes on the tenth day of the first lunar month.

American and British schools have not yet started school, but almost all the teachers have returned and will soon start recruiting students for the Spring Festival.

The teachers had not seen each other for more than twenty days, but when they got together again at school, they inevitably exchanged cordial greetings and greetings.

Ye Lian did not go back to her hometown, but just smiled and listened to them share some interesting stories about their return to her hometown. A few thoughtful colleagues also brought her some specialties. She thanked them and said with a smile that she was enjoying the fruits of her labor and it was a great treat.

Among the teachers, Teacher Xie was the first one to come.

On the evening of the seventh day of the first lunar month, Teacher Xie called Ye Lian and called her downstairs.

Teacher Xie was dragging a suitcase and had not yet changed out of the thick clothes he wore to resist the cold weather in his hometown.

A winter vacation has passed. For Ye Lian, the embarrassment of blushing and heart-pounding when she was with Teacher Xie has faded away. She and Teacher Xie are still ordinary and innocent partners and colleagues.

Teacher Xie took out two large packages of sausages from the box and gave them to Ye Lian.

"I don't want it, it's too much." Ye Lian declined.

"Take it. Our home-made sausages are spicy and delicious. I'm sure you'll want to eat them again."

The word "spicy" made Ye Lian salivate and make her saliva boil. Teacher Xie also said it so conclusively that it was really hard for Ye Lian to resist the temptation.

"Then I want a pack." Ye Lian thought it would be better to take a step back.

"Why don't you take them all? Could it be poison?" Teacher Xie got angry.

Ye Lian couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to take both packages.

"Why did you come so early? There are still three days before registration." Ye Lian asked a little puzzled.

"Come early and prepare early." Teacher Xie said, looking at Ye Lian: "Besides, I want to meet someone early."

"Oh -? Are you in love?" Ye Lian joked.

"I think so." Teacher Xie smiled.

Seeing that Teacher Xie didn't want to continue talking, Ye Lian stopped asking.

After all, it's a private matter.

The two were silent for a while.

"Thank you for the sausage, I'll go up first." Ye Lian broke the silence.

Teacher Xie nodded without saying anything, silently watching Ye Lian go upstairs, with bright eyes, and in the afterglow of the setting sun...

……

What Teacher Xie said is true, the sausage is really delicious.

Ye Lian thought it was much better than the sausages from her hometown. She really wanted to eat them. Other specialties given by teachers, some of which were familiar to others, were not as popular as this spicy sausage, which made Ye Lian fall in love with it as soon as she tasted it.

As soon as the Lantern Festival is over, the Spring Festival seems far away.

Everything is on track and on track.

Ever since Ye Lian and Cao Xueqian agreed to take Lan Shan with them that night and hoped that the two old people could stay in Yancheng, Cao Xueqian kept this matter in mind.

Therefore, whenever he had the opportunity, Cao Xueqian would do the ideological work of the two old people.

Ye Lian said little and only occasionally helped.

Slowly, the two old people saw that the two young people had made up their minds and agreed to let Lanshan stay. At the same time, Grandma Lanshan also stayed, and Grandpa Lanshan went back to take care of his hometown.

Cao Xueqian and Ye Lian saw that they could not keep the old man, so they thought of letting him stay in Yancheng for a longer time.

But the old man missed his hometown and didn't want to live any longer. It took too long to say that it was time to go back.

In fact, there may be another reason that the old man did not mention, that is, the house is too small and it is crowded every day.

One Sunday morning, Cao Xueqian sent Grandpa Lanshan to Hehu Station early and put him on the bus back to his hometown.

Along the way, Cao Xueqian kept reminding the elderly to pay attention to their health and safety, call if you have anything, and ask for help if you can find someone...

Grandpa Lanshan kept saying "hmm" all the way, and Cao Xueqian didn't know if he heard it.

Looking at the lonely back of his old father as he got into the car, Cao Xueqian felt a bit sore in his nose, feeling that his words were so hollow and powerless...

Soon, Ye Lian's eldest sister Ye Lu, who was married to another province, also came to Yancheng.

Ye Lu stayed with Ye Lian for a few days and went out to look for work every day.

Fortunately, when my father-in-law was still in Yancheng, the family had bought a smaller single bed, otherwise Ye Lu would have to squeeze together with her mother-in-law Lan Shan.

A few days later, Ye Lu went to work as a general worker in a printing factory and lived in the factory dormitory.

Ye Lu's husband, Lin Shushen, is a construction worker who works on a construction site in Dongcheng.

After the New Year, there are still many young people like Ye Lu rushing to Yancheng.

Along the city, every year it attracts groups of young people with its unique charm.

These young people come from all over the country. They plunge into this boiling land with high morale and sweat for themselves and their families' dreams.
