Chapter 39 Leaving and Returning Home

"Go back to my hometown, take the train, wuwu..."

Lin Jinyan held a green train model and pushed around the sofa. Du Qiu stood in the living room, staring at the three suitcases, two woven bags and three backpacks in front of him, and he picked up a woven bag and tried it. It felt at least twenty or thirty pounds, so he asked, "Sister, what are you put in these bags and boxes?"

"This is my and Jinyan's clothes, this is your and Dawei's clothes, this is the daily necessities you need to use on the road and when you go home, this is the thing you bring to our father, this is the gift you give to people during the Spring Festival New Year's greetings, this is..."

When Du Qiu occasionally went out for a trip, he would do everything with a backpack. Now he not only had to take a train of more than 30 hours, but also had to bring so much luggage. Thinking about the crowded crowds like an ant nest during the Spring Festival travel rush, he suddenly felt as if he was afraid of this trip home, and said, "Do you need to take these New Year greetings gifts from Yuncheng thousands of miles away? Just get off the train in Chuncheng and buy them."

"I really don't understand the worldly ways!" Du Chunhua gave him a blank look and said, "If you give a goose feather thousands of miles away as a gift, people will be grateful. If you grab a goose feather at the door of your house as a gift, they will beat you out with one stick."

"Your sister is right. These are things to pay attention to when interacting with people." Lin Dawei stood on the balcony while checking the windows one by one, and said: "The gifts in the box are all specialties from Yuncheng or Sanjiang Province. They are not in their hometown. They are cheap but have a strong affection. If you buy gifts in Chuncheng, it will not only be expensive, but also make people gossip."

It’s better to be 2016. As long as you move your fingers, you can’t afford to buy online within 10 years, and you can’t quench your near thirst…

"You had to bring so many things when you went home?"

"In the past, I had to take care of Jinyan, so of course I would take less if I could take less. This year, I would take more coolies like you, so of course I would take more if I could take more." Du Chunhua stood on tiptoe and patted Du Qiu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Go and eat, eat more. When you arrive at the train station, you will have to carry these boxes."

Du Qiu was ashamed, and went to the kitchen with his head down, served a large bowl of peanut and red date porridge. He sat at the dining table and was about to eat, but heard a knock on the door outside. When he opened it, he found that Chen Dayou was coming, so he smiled and said, "Come in and sit down, and we just happened to have breakfast together."

"I've eaten at the institute before I came. If you have to catch the train later, I won't disturb you much." Chen Dayou raised his hand like a reviewer, greeted the others in the room, then took out two thick folders from his crossbody bag, handed one to Du Qiu, and said, "This is the content of the email I received the day before yesterday and yesterday. I put the more important ones in front of you. You can check it on the train. If you have anything to reply, call me. I'm not in the institute from the 28th day of the 1st lunar month to the 4th day of the 1st lunar month, and I'm here for the rest of the time."

"Thank you, Brother Chen, I will invite you to dinner after I come back from the Spring Festival."

"You're welcome."

Chen Dayou handed over the second folder and said with a smile: "This is the source code of the game that Dawei made. He wanted to ask you to help him see, but he was afraid of being embarrassed, so he asked me to hand it over. If you have time, please give him some advice. Dawei is a communication engineering student. Programming depends entirely on self-study. He has a wild way and has a relatively poor level. However, his talent is still good. He is very interested in this area and is willing to study hard. If there is a good teacher, he should be able to achieve some results in the future."

"What's the matter with Brother Chen? Dawei and I are friends, and we will definitely communicate with each other in the future."

"Okay, I won't bother you. See you after the Spring Festival."

Du Qiu sent Chen Dayou downstairs and saw him driving an Audi over, he didn't give it any more and said, "Brother Chen, I heard from Dawei that Yuncheng is expected to open the Internet in June. I plan to open a software and network service company by then. Are you interested?"

"What specific content does this company do?"

"I'm going to build a website." Du Qiu mainly wanted to test his attitude towards entrepreneurship. Seeing that he had a good response, he briefly introduced: "This website focuses on literature, music and other content, and then relies on content to promote open source software and other products. I haven't confirmed the detailed plan yet. I'm going to use the Spring Festival to think carefully and make a plan. If Brother Chen is interested, we will talk about it in detail after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Yes, I've been in the research institute for four or five years, and I'm a little quiet and moved." Chen Dayou opened the car door and turned his head before he sat in and asked, "Do you want me to invest or do you want me to join as an employee?"

"I welcome investment, and I also welcome employment."

"Haha, with your skill level, what you make should be good. I am looking forward to your planning book. Let's talk about it later, I'll leave first."

After saying goodbye to Chen Dayou, Du Qiu returned home, ate two bowls of porridge and two steamed buns in one go, then sneaked into the study, opened the bookcase, took out two large English books that Lin Dawei had placed inside, checked the memory and hard drive hidden inside. After he finished the four articles on January 21, he took the laptop from the rental house to his home, imitating the plot of Tony Leung hiding a pistol in the movie "The Detective", hollowed out the pages of the book, and hid the treasure inside.

As for the laptop computer, it is hidden under the bedside table in my bedroom. The bedside table is made of solid wood and is relatively heavy, but there is nothing in the drawer. If you have any concerns during the Spring Festival, you will definitely not be interested in moving it.

After checking the memory and hard drive, Du Qiu went to the kitchen to check his phone again. He put the phone in a black plastic box and stuck it with tape behind a piece of gas pipe in the cabinet. Not to mention a thief, even Du Qiu had to explore slowly to find it, which was foolproof.

"Brother, what are you doing in the kitchen? Come out and be a coolie and ready to go."

"Here you come."

Du Qiu and Lin Dawei worked together to move three suitcases and two woven bags downstairs, stuffed them into the trunk of the Accord, and then went back to check the doors and windows for the last time, and then left the house. Wang Yong, who had been waiting at the entrance of the corridor for a long time, said: "Dawei, don't worry, our family will be back on the fifth day of the first lunar month. When the lights are on at night, there will be no thieves."

"There is no valuable thing at home. I am mainly afraid that the windows will not be closed properly and that the rain and snow will come in." Lin Dawei cleared a few words and handed him the car key and said, "Boss Wang, it's okay for me to lend you the car, but you must not drive the car drunk like last year. You must know that the car is damaged and the person is damaged."

"I know, I know."

Wang Xiaoya, who was standing at the door with a toothbrush, said loudly: "Uncle Lin, don't worry, if my dad dares to drive when he gets drunk, I will beat him to grandma's house with one ear."

Lin Dawei laughed loudly, Du Qiu smiled at it, while Wang Yong was so amused that he turned around and wanted to beat her up, shouting: "Don't you talk nonsense! Isn't this Spring Festival just to go to your grandma's house? Go brush your teeth... Dawei, Du Qiu, go, I'll take you to the train station."

After Wang Yong drove away his daughter, he drove the Accord and took the family of four out of the residential building. Du Qiu turned his head through the car window in the back seat and looked at the four snowmen gradually moving away from the floor. A faint melancholy surged in his heart. Du Chunhua also turned his head and looked around, but quickly withdrew his gaze and said meaningfully: "My brother, it will snow every year, and maybe a bigger snowman can be built next year."

"Um."

Wang Yong was in a daze and said with a smile: "Why wait for next year? The snow in your hometown in Northeast China will definitely be very heavy. It's okay to build a snowman that is as tall as a building."

Lin Dawei took out his cigarette with a dry smile. As soon as he picked up the cigarette lighter, Du Chunhua said in the back, "Smoking less is bad for the health." He immediately put away the cigarette box and said, "I'll quit the cigarette after the Spring Festival."

It's good for your dad and mom to do this now...

Being a friend who cares about each other is far more suitable than being an indifferent couple...

After Wang Yong sent the family to the train station, he drove away in the Accord. Du Qiu stayed in the crowded waiting hall for about an hour, then carried a woven bag on his shoulder, a suitcase on his backpack on his backpack on his back, and squeezed around in the crowd. It took a lot of effort to board the train. Then he tried his best to finally exchange tickets with a guy who looked like a student. The whole family was reunited in the same carriage, but the bed was far apart.

Get on the bus at 10:30 am on January 24th and get off at 8:50 pm on January 25th. After 34 hours and 20 minutes of suffering, I finally arrived at Chuncheng, the largest city near my hometown. After staying in Chuncheng for a night, Lin Dawei borrowed a Santana through his college classmates, and then drove in turns with Du Qiu in the wind and snow. He drove for more than five hours. He arrived at the county town where his hometown was around 1:00 pm on January 26th.

"Brother, let's take a break in the county town and find a place to have lunch."

"good."

The hard long journey is the best fit for the people. Lin Dawei and Du Chunhua have completely fiddled with the relationship. They have changed from husband and wife to pure friends. Their words and deeds have become much more casual, and they no longer have a strange and embarrassing feeling. He turned his head and asked, "Chunhua, do you want to call back and tell Aqiu in advance so that our father can be mentally prepared?"

Du Chunhua was originally a very decisive person. He hesitated for a while and was still unable to make up his mind and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"

"Let's go back directly, it's only more than an hour's drive anyway."
