Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 46 Mud on hands is not dirty

When someone is talking, you don’t feel that time is slowing down. When you talk to the driver in the car, you don’t have to worry about him being distracted. You can’t see another car on the road. In addition to paying attention to the unstable road surface, the car will vibrate too much and don’t drive too fast. , I really don’t worry about any accidents. Moreover, cars in this era did not have seat belts, mainly because it was rare to encounter things that required seat belts to save lives.

Seat belts protect drivers, but these days, there are basically no car collisions. If someone hits someone, the driver will not be injured regardless of whether he or she is wearing a seat belt. In addition, cars generally don’t drive too fast. If they hit something else, people won’t be able to fly out.

When they arrived at the stop, Luo Cheng got up and got off the bus. Before he got off, he saw two figures on the roadside. It turned out to be Luo Xiaoyu and Luo Shishi. Why are they here? They couldn’t have come to pick me up specially.

“Brother Zhao, can you lend me one of the sacks in your car? I’m going to the city in the next few days and I’ll return it to you then.”

“Look, you’re calling me big brother. If you want a sack, just take it and I’ll give it to you.”

“Thank you then. Get off the car and go to the city. I’ll treat you to dinner.”

“Brother, you are too polite.”

In this day and age, it is really polite to treat someone to a meal, as food is precious. The usual greeting is just “hello”, and it will not become a common greeting like “have you eaten” in the future.

Luo Cheng really planned to treat him to dinner next time, but of course it wasn’t because of the sack. A sack is not worth much. There are several beside the driver in the car. They must have been used to hold something.

Saying goodbye to the driver again, the moment he got off the car, Luo Cheng opened the sack with his hand, and then put all the signed items in the system space into it.

Except for the lighter that I signed in yesterday, everything else was put inside. There are also things that I signed in at the supply and marketing cooperative this morning. Except for the toffee and dustpan, everything else was also put inside.

“Brother, big brother, you are back.”

As soon as the car arrived, the two sisters leaned towards the car door, so they saw Luo Cheng getting out of the car immediately. Finally came back. They were actually here in the morning and didn’t wait for the eldest brother. I’m really worried that my eldest brother won’t come back this afternoon.

Luo Cheng also looked at the two sisters with a smile. It felt good to have sisters. Luo Cheng first gently placed the bulging sack on the ground. Then he took off his backpack and put it directly on Luo Shishi. On the way back, he asked her to help him carry it.

As for the sack, let Luo Xiaoyu, who was stronger, carry it. Well distributed and perfect.

“I’ve got my things, let’s go home.”

“Brother, what is in this bag? There are so many.”

“Yes, brother, this backpack is so big. What’s in it?”

“Of course it’s a good thing. The cotton gauze you want is in the backpack, but there are other things in the backpack. There are some steamed buns on top. If you are hungry, you can take them out to eat. They were made at noon and are still soft. On.”

When she heard it was steamed buns, Luo Shishi swallowed unconsciously. After my eldest brother went to the city yesterday, the sweet potato porridge was all clear at home again. Finally, there was a little food accumulation in my stomach, but it was completely digested yesterday. I didn’t expect that the eldest brother would bring steamed buns again.

I wanted to eat, but I didn’t take it out immediately. It’s actually not safe to eat here. It’s actually a little out of town. It’s not too late to wait until you get home to eat.

“Xiao Yu, there is a bottle of soy sauce and a bottle of white wine in this sack. When you carry them, be gentle.”

Hearing that there was soy sauce and liquor inside, Luo Xiaoyu was so frightened that she almost hugged the sack. There was no food to eat, let alone liquor these days. Soy sauce is also a good thing. The rice mixed with soy sauce is very fragrant. Even if it is porridge, it will be delicious if you pour it in.

Seeing Luo Xiaoyu’s nervous look, Luo Chengcheng found it funny. Shishi actually turned her backpack to her chest, holding it with both hands while walking. There were steamed buns inside, so don’t encounter bad guys on the way to snatch them away.

They also understood why the eldest brother stopped taking things. It was good for the eldest brother to have his empty hands. When bad guys appeared, his free hands were easy to fight. They were holding things, but their weight was nothing.

In this way, the three of them walked home, while the two girls looked around from time to time, fearing that someone would suddenly appear.

When Luo Cheng and the others arrived home, his father Luo Wen and his younger brother Luo Bing had just returned from the brigade. The dirt on the clothes had not been wiped clean yet. As he was doing it, he saw Luo Cheng and the others coming back.

“The child’s mother, his grandmother, and Nariko are back.”

When Luo Wen saw his eldest son back, he was still a little excited. Although he said there was no need to worry yesterday, he was still thinking about it in his heart.

“Brother, you are back. Your work matters are settled.”

“Well, it’s okay. You and dad have just returned from work in the brigade. Are you hungry?”

“Yes, we just finished work. Today my dad and I were assigned the task of clearing wasteland, so we have a lot of dirt on our bodies.”

Luo Bing was also thinking about Luo Cheng. Xiaoyu and the others secretly stuffed two rice dumplings for him when they came back after sending their eldest brother away yesterday, saying that the eldest brother couldn’t bear to eat them and was just taking care of them. Remember the kindness of big brother. So when I saw my eldest brother coming back, I took the initiative to care about his work. As for the eldest brother’s question about whether he was hungry, he didn’t answer. It was still a bit early at this point, and usually my mother would wait for them to come back from work before making food.

At noon today, because we were clearing land, my mother made two separate nests of steamed buns for him and his father. But when I finished eating, my stomach was not full and I was always hungry.

“Shishi, take out the steamed buns from your backpack and give two to each of Dad and Bingzi.”

After hearing the instructions from her elder brother Luo Cheng, Luo Shishi instinctively looked at her father Luo Wen first. Her father Luo Wen wanted to say something. He brought steamed buns again. How could he eat such a precious thing so casually? But in the end he didn’t say anything. Even if his eldest son had an opinion, it would be better not to refute it in front of others.

Seeing that her father didn’t say anything, Luo Shishi became excited. Her father was the master of the family. If the eldest brother hadn’t bought food stamps for the steamed buns last time, they almost wouldn’t have been able to eat them, so they had to share them with their uncles and aunts.

Opening the backpack, there was a paper bag on the top, and the white steamed buns were directly exposed. Luo Shishi thought the steamed buns were really good-looking. After catching four, he took two to his father first. Luo Bing was a little anxious, so he walked forward and stretched out his hand to take them immediately.

“Dad, soldiers, you should also wash your hands before handling them, and be more hygienic.”

Luo Cheng’s words made his father and brother, who were stretching out their hands to pick up the buns, seem to be immobilized. Pay attention to hygiene? My hands are not dirty either, they just have some dirt on them.

“Soldier, go to the kitchen and get a spoon of water to wash your hands before eating.”

After a pause, Dad took back his hand first and told Luo Bing that the people in the town were actually considered rural people, and their hands were a bit dirty, which was not considered dirty to them. It’s nothing to eat a little bit of dirt after grabbing a steamed bun. These days, rural people don’t eat a little bit of dirt.

But the eldest son of the family spoke up, and it was indeed not good to have a little dirt on his hands, but he usually didn’t pay attention when eating. When I eat normally, I still wash it occasionally.
