Chapter 1382 Returning to Liujiatun, the current situation of the second brother
"'Long stay makes people feel inferior, frequent visits make relatives feel distant'..."

Ma Suqin murmured the man's advice several times, and psychologically she agreed with it to some extent, but emotionally, it was difficult for her to give up.

She no longer has parents and has lost contact with her two brothers. Over the years, her emotional sustenance and support have been the villagers of Liujiatun.

If she didn't go back to Liujiatun, she really couldn't remember where to go.

Su Mingzhe recovered his energy. Seeing that the woman was still struggling, he patted her lightly, signaling her not to think too much:
"We will definitely settle down in the capital or Nanjing in the future. We may only have a few days off throughout the year. If you contact your brother again, we will definitely visit him more often. By then, we won't have so much time to go back to Liujiatun!"

"But I don't even know where my eldest and second brothers are. We haven't been in touch for years!"

Speaking of the missing eldest and second brothers, Ma Suqin began to feel a little worried. After all, they were real relatives.

Su Mingzhe reminded:

"Don't you have their addresses when they were sent to work as educated youth?"

Ma Suqin's face was slightly bitter:
"But I only have the county address. I've written several letters to this address, but they were all returned!"

"If we can't find the person we wrote to, we can go find him directly. The Youth League Office in their county must have records!"

When Ma Suqin heard the man's method, hope suddenly rose in her heart.

the next day.

After they got up and had breakfast, Ma Suqin went back to the dormitory to pack her luggage.

Su Mingzhe first bought a train ticket back to Tieling the next day, and then purchased two large bags of daily necessities to take back to Liujiatun as gifts.

The gifts were all daily necessities such as soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, lighters, tobacco, etc.

The price distributed to each household is about ten yuan.

Although these things are not rare items, the villagers of Liujiatun would definitely not be willing to buy them on weekdays.

After all, even if you work hard for a year, you may not earn just a few dozen dollars.

After packing her luggage, Ma Suqin returned to the guesthouse and was stunned when she saw the two large bags of gifts the man had bought:

"Mingzhe, are we going to bring so many things back?"

"Not much, about thirty households, and each family only has a little."

Su Mingzhe explained his plan.

As the saying goes: Gifts convey thoughtfulness!
If the two returned to Liujiatun without bringing any gifts, the villagers of Liujiatun would not say anything, but their relationship would certainly be like that of ordinary neighbors, with just a few greetings.

However, if the two of them bring gifts back, I believe the villagers of Liujiatun will treat them as family members.

Su Mingzhe was well aware of all these interpersonal relationships.

Seeing that the man had a plan, Ma Suqin also knew that the man had money, so she didn't say anything.

After all, when she was a teacher for educated youth in Liujiatun, she used all the 18 yuan subsidy the commune gave her every month to buy school supplies for her students.

Turn around.

The two boarded the train to Tieling.

One day later, we arrived in Tieling.

The two took a bus and arrived at the county town.

After staying one night in the county town, the two took the bus back to the commune.

Just like before, there was only one trip from the commune to the county town at noon every day.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the two got off the bus at the commune.

Su Mingzhe bought a carrying pole, picked up the two large packages, and walked towards Liujiatun.

Ma Suqin followed behind.

Perhaps because she had not exercised much in school, Ma Suqin's physical strength had obviously declined a lot. After walking for only half an hour, she was already panting with fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

The two rested for a while before continuing on their journey.

The journey used to take two hours, but this time it took them nearly three hours to get there.

The men and women of Liujiatun were indeed very happy about the two people's return, especially when they heard that they brought back two large packages full of gifts for the villagers of Liujiatun.

After gathering all the villagers, Su Mingzhe called his uncle and asked him to distribute gifts to everyone.

Afterwards, Su Mingzhe and Ma Suqin went to their uncle's house for dinner.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the school square. The men gathered around Su Mingzhe and the women gathered around Ma Suqin, chattering and asking what the world outside was like.

After Ma Suqin went to the capital, she spent most of her time studying. She only had a vague understanding of the situation outside, so naturally she could not answer so many questions.

Su Mingzhe's knowledge and experience are naturally profound. He told everyone a lot about the situation and changes outside, as well as stories about customs from various places, which broadened everyone's horizons.

After a while, more than a hundred people gathered around Su Mingzhe.

The night talk lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening and ended only when the dew began to rise.

After seeing everyone off, Su Mingzhe took Ma Suqin back to the room for a private lesson. It must be said that after coming to this plane for such a long time, Su Mingzhe not only has Ma Suqin, but also Wen Qingxue, but the most relaxing place in his heart is still the Liujiatun kang.

Su Mingzhe felt particularly good every time when Ma Suqin gave him private lessons on the kang.

After a private lesson, Ma Suqin was very satisfied. She hugged the man's neck tightly with both hands and refused to let him leave her.

Su Mingzhe naturally couldn't bear to let her go, so he just held her in his arms.

After a while, the two of them went straight to the second class.

……

In spring, people sleep late, and in summer, people sleep deeply!
The two of them slept in, and when they got up, the sun was shining into the house.

When the two got up and washed, they saw that the villagers had already gone to the fields to work with their farm tools.

I had a quick breakfast.

Su Mingzhe packed some gifts and brought Ma Suqin to visit his uncle Liu Qiushan.

Liu Qiushan, the uncle, has been taking care of the original body since the death of his parents.

Su Mingzhe has traveled through time and space, so it would be bad for him to be ungrateful and treat his uncle as an ordinary relative.

Until noon.

Liu Qiushan came back and drank a little wine with Su Mingzhe, and then asked Su Mingzhe about his studies in detail.

When he learned that Su Mingzhe had made a lot of money from writing articles and had bought a house in Jinling, his eyes suddenly turned red and he looked at his youngest son and several grandchildren who had been clamoring not to go to school.

It looks like these little bastards will have to eat a meal of 'Stir-fried Pork on Bamboo Board' tonight.

Su Mingzhe expressed deep sympathy for the experiences of his younger cousin and several nephews, but he did not say much.

After all, reading more is always good.

The next few days.

Su Mingzhe took Ma Suqin to visit several of his uncles' homes.

After all, we cannot favor one over the other.

a week later.

With everyone reluctant to leave, the two said goodbye and left Liujiatun.

Ma Suqin's two brothers went to the countryside as educated youth, and they actually had a rough address.

My second brother is in Hunan Province and my eldest brother is in Bashu.

Su Mingzhe promised to take Ma Suqin with him to find his two brothers-in-law, so he must keep his word.

After leaving Liujiatun, the two headed straight to Hunan Province.

Unlike the capital, marriage certificates issued by Liujiatun and the commune can be used in Hunan Province.

When two people check into a guesthouse, they only need to book one room.

the next day.

The two came to the county educated youth office. Su Mingzhe took out a box of Beijing Harden cigarettes and distributed them to several old smokers in the office. He then gave each person a box and asked about the whereabouts of Ma Suqin's second brother.

When the other party learned that the two were visiting relatives, he did not put on airs. He just asked clearly what year Ma Suqin's second brother came over, then took out a thick stack of booklets and let the two look through them themselves.

Soon, Ma Suqin saw the message from her second brother.

After learning the news, Ma Suqin, accompanied by the man, quickly came to the village where her second brother settled and met her second brother.

In Ma Suqin's impression, her second brother is handsome, elegant, and talented, and is a true talent.

But now, the Ma Hongjun who appeared in front of her was no different from an ordinary old farmer.

He has dark skin, a mouth full of yellow teeth, and his clothes are tattered and patched.

If it weren't for the fact that her appearance hadn't changed, Ma Suqin wouldn't have recognized her:
"Second brother?!"

"Suqin?!"

Compared to Ma Suqin who didn't dare to recognize that the rural farmer in front of her was her second brother, Ma Hongjun felt shy and a little ashamed when he saw his sister coming to find him.

Ma Hongjun came to the countryside in 68.

Ma Hongjun, who was used to being carefree in school, seduced a beautiful and innocent girl from the village to eat the forbidden fruit not long after he came here.

In that era, if Ma Hongjun did such a thing, the girl’s parents would definitely not let him go.

In a blink of an eye, ten years passed, and Ma Suqin's second sister-in-law gave birth to seven children for Ma Hongjun, five boys and two girls.

With such a heavy family burden, the once handsome Ma Hongjun naturally could no longer be so carefree.
