Chapter 920 Return to the Village
Old Master Xiao stood up, his face very grim: "There are some things I want to ask you about in person."

*
After the first snow, she took the bus to the fork in the road outside the commune, and then walked a little further in. In the commune, she saw the village's oxcart: "Uncle Lao Wu."

Old Wu, who was driving the cart, looked up and asked, "Little Chuxue, are you going back to the village?"

"Yes, it's almost Chinese New Year, so I'm going back to the village for a visit. I'll also take this opportunity to air out the house."

“Oh dear, the Party Secretary’s wife, Zhiyuan and Zhijun, go over every few days. I even saw them help you harvest all the radishes and cabbages from your vegetable garden behind your house and put them in the cellar.”

Hearing this, Chu Xue felt a surge of emotion.

As they were talking, they heard someone shout from afar, "Brother Wu, come and help me out!"

As soon as Chu Xue turned around, she saw Aunt Liangzi walking over with a basket on her back. Thinking of Uncle Wu's limp, Chu Xue quickly said, "Uncle Wu, I can do it. You sit down."

After Aunt Liangzi recognized who had come to pick her up, she asked, "Chuxue, are you going back to the village?"

"Yes, I just got a few days off. The New Year is coming soon, so I'm going back to the village for a visit."

He looked down at the basket she was carrying: "Why are you carrying a basket?"

No sooner had he asked than he noticed that the carrying strap on the basket was dislocated, so he quickly stepped in to help lift it onto the oxcart.

Aunt Liangzi clapped her hands and said with a smile, "I didn't pay attention when I left. I just grabbed the basket and left. I didn't expect that she would abandon me halfway after I finished shopping."

After setting the basket in place, he pulled the person aside and said, "You probably don't know that Ji-won has also set a wedding date, do you?"

“I really didn’t know. I only knew that my family had introduced her to someone, but I didn’t expect it to be settled so quickly.”

"The groom's family was pressuring us, but Zhiyuan's parents felt that since the young man was good and the two of them liked each other, it didn't matter if it was a day later or a day later, so they made a decision."

"What date have you set?"

"The third day of the first lunar month."

"That's only a few days away."

"That's right, Zhiyuan's mother has taken the past few days off to prepare her daughter's dowry."

"Luckily I came back, otherwise I wouldn't have known about this." While they were talking, the other aunties and grandmas who came to buy New Year's goods also returned. As soon as they saw Chuxue, they all greeted her: "Oh, Chuxue, why didn't your parents come back?"

“Aunt Huaiming, my dad can’t take time off from work, and as you know, my mom is pregnant, so we don’t dare let her take the bus anymore, mainly because it’s too cold.”

"Is your dad at work?"

Where do you work?

When did you find a job?

“My dad works as a railway track worker at the train station. He hasn’t been working there long and doesn’t get many holidays.”

"What's that for?"

Are you tired?

How much money can I make?

"So, he's finally getting a government job?"

"Inspecting and repairing railway tracks means fixing track defects and ensuring the smooth and safe passage of trains. We do this every day, rain or shine."

"That's still better than working in the village from dawn till dusk. If there's a chance in the future, I'll have to help out the villagers."

Uncle Wu couldn't take it anymore: "Alright, alright, are you all back yet? It's almost time, get on the bus, it's time to go back to the village."

Everyone was getting into the car when someone noticed Chuxue carrying a large cloth bag and asked, "Chuxue, what are you carrying?"

Chu Xue didn't hide anything: "After we left, the village secretary's family helped take care of the house a lot. My dad asked me to come back and deliver some New Year's goods to the village secretary's family."

She said it on purpose, so that no one would talk nonsense behind her back.

Everyone was so envious.
