As mentioned before, Riyue Village is located on a mountainside and is surrounded by mountains. To reach the town, you have to climb several small ridges.

It's mostly downhill when you get it, but it's pretty easy. It didn't take long for the two of them to gain sufficient strength.

But it was not that simple when we came back. Almost the entire journey was uphill, especially the one closest to the town, which the locals called Dongpo Liang.

The seat of the Baita Town government is in the canyon between two hillsides. There is a large slope on the east and west. The names are also very simple, Dongpo Liang and Xipo Liang.

At this moment, the two of them climbed up the beam with their buttocks sticking out, carrying two large baskets on their backs.

Luo Qiong's backpack carried a fifty kilogram bag of rice and some seasoning vegetables. Luo Ping'an's backpack was very spectacular. There was half a fan of pork across the top of the basket, and the bottom of the pork was stuffed with beer and drinks.

This basket weighs at least one hundred kilograms, which is what farmers who work all year round in the mountains can carry.

For those white-collar workers in the city, it would be difficult even to carry it, let alone carry it uphill.

But just like this, Luo Qiong's ancestors carried hundreds of kilograms of stuff on their shoulders. They didn't know how many times they carried it.

The streets in the town held festivals every 258, and Luo Qiong's favorite thing at that time was to go to the festivals with her parents.

Especially in the twelfth lunar month every year, farmers who have worked hard for a year, whether they have money or not, will go to the streets to buy new clothes for their wives and children, and some delicious food.

The children are the happiest at this time. Not only do they have new clothes to wear, but they also have all kinds of snacks that they can't usually eat.

It's rare for adults to relax, and they won't be stingy at this time. Generally, children will readily pay for the snacks they want.

At that time, due to the inconvenience of transportation, backpacks became a standard item for every household to go to the market. The things they bought would be put in the backpacks and then carried home.

Luo Ping'an had carried the basket on his back countless times. Sometimes Luo Qiong could no longer walk and would even crawl into the basket.

At that time, his father was a strong man in his eyes. No matter how full the basket was, his father could always carry it easily. And his favorite thing to do is to sit in his father's backpack, holding a stick in his hand and imagining that he is a general.

But he didn't know when he started, and he never sat in his father's backpack again. When he saw his father carrying things again, he saw that every step of his father was so difficult.

After walking for a while, I was out of breath, and the sound of breathing out was like a bellows.

Moreover, my father's figure is no longer as strong as it used to be, and is even a little thin. Decades of burdens in life have already turned the young and strong young man into the old man he is now.

"Dad, take a rest!"

Looking at his father's faltering steps, Luo Qiong's nose felt sore.

"We'll be walking for a while, the pork needs to be processed when we get back, so don't keep us waiting."

After listening to his father's words, Luo Qiong stopped talking. Instead, he took two steps forward to catch up with Luo Ping'an, then grabbed the half fan of pork on his back basket and lifted it off with a strong force.

Then he swung it back and put it on his backpack.

Luo Ping'an, who was immersed in climbing, suddenly felt a light behind his back. He turned around and saw Luo Qiong easily throwing the half fan of pork onto his back.

"Dad, let me carry it for you. Let's go quickly!"

Luo Qiong was afraid that Luo Pingan would take the pork back again. As he spoke, his speed did not slow down and he walked directly in front of Luo Pingan.

"Put it down quickly, you can't carry it."

Luo Ping'an was afraid of crushing his son, so he immediately chased after him. His son had just recovered from a serious illness, and he had never done heavy work. He was really afraid of crushing his son.

"It's okay, dad. I'll carry it for a while first. If you can't carry it anymore, you can come back again. Can't it be faster if we switch carries?"

"Oh, if you can't carry it, give it to me."

Seeing that his son had gone far away, Luo Ping'an hurriedly chased after him to remove the pork fan from Luo Qiong's back.

"It's okay. I can carry it. We have to hurry up, otherwise it will be too late."

Seeing his father chasing after him, Luo Qiong immediately quickened his pace. Luo Ping'an chased for a while, but when he saw that he couldn't catch up, he gave up.

I thought to myself: Brat, I'll wait until you can't carry it anymore. Let's see how you beg me.

This half fan of pork weighed more than a hundred kilograms. Luo Ping'an knew how hard it was to carry such a heavy thing. In addition, there were hundreds of kilograms of things in Luo Qiong's backpack. He thought Luo Qiong would not be able to hold on. How long.

But after walking for half an hour, Dongpo Liang had passed, but Luo Qiong had not yet shown any intention to stop.

On the contrary, it was himself. Although the weight on his back had been reduced by half, he was running too fast because he had to chase Luo Qiong. At this time, he was a little out of breath.

Looking at Luo Qiong who was still looking like a normal person in front of him, Luo Ping'an didn't know what he was feeling.

"I am old and my children have grown up."

After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting his breathing, Luo Ping'an simply stopped chasing and began to walk home leisurely at his own pace.

After going up to Dongpo Liang, the road behind was also uphill but it was a repaired concrete road. The two of them arrived at Luojiawa in a short time.

When I came back, there were already many people at home, and it was He Fanghua who called for help.

Everyone had a busy day yesterday. After Luo Qiong went to bed last night, the couple ran from house to house and invited helpers to come to the house for dinner today.

There is a lot of humanity in the countryside. Women came to help early in the morning. Although many people in the village have gone out to work, there are not many who stay.

Just relying on He Fanghua alone, the meal for so many people would probably last until the afternoon.

"Ouch! Erbazi, those tendons on your body are indeed not in vain. Look at this big basket on your back, I'm afraid your dad can't even carry it!"

As soon as Luo Qiong came back, he saw several people who were comforting his mother at home last night, helping to wash vegetables in the yard. When he saw Luo Qiong carrying a large basket on his back, he immediately thought of someone's naked appearance last night.

He started joking immediately.

"Yes, it's good to be young. After running around naked all night, I'm still full of life in the morning."

"Er boy, I heard from your aunt that you have a lot of money. Come and take off your pants and show me."

"Yes, yes, yes, let me take a look and find a beautiful wife for you another day. I hope your father will have a grandson as soon as possible."

"Well, yes, I will find a wife soon. I can vent my energy and won't run around naked at night."

"Haha, hahaha"

When everyone saw Luo Qiong coming back, they all started joking again, which made Luo Qiong's face turn red to the root of his neck.

"No, I still have to go to school!"

"What's wrong with going to school? This won't delay you from getting a wife."

"Look, your face is red, maybe you miss your wife."

"I still have a partner, why don't I bring it back one day and show it to my uncles and aunts."

······

Luo Qiong answered a sentence without thinking, and everyone's chat box was immediately opened. Facing these seven aunts and eight aunts, he had no chance to resist, so he could only act like a turtle again, and put down the basket on his back. He got into the house in embarrassment.

It caused everyone in the yard to burst into laughter.
