C169 Long time no see

"small summer, from tomorrow onwards, I will be riding my bicycle out. If you are willing, you can come with me!" Du Ruiqi said.

"I'm willing, of course I'm willing!" small summer said excitedly.

"Alright, then let's go for a ride tomorrow morning." Du Ruiqi said.

A few people who walked past the corridor felt it was a little strange that Du Ruiqi was fiddling with this carriage. She wanted to ask, but she didn't dare to ask. She only called out "Dushuji" and walked over hastily.

Du Ruiqi did not explain either, nodding at them and smiling.

The second day, after eating breakfast, Du Ruiqi met up with Ma Mingqiao, gave him some instructions, and then went downstairs.

She watched as the bike was indeed parked neatly on the side of the gate. small summer stood at the door of her own room, as if she had been looking at the bike the entire time, but also as if she had been waiting for Du Ruiqi to get off the bike.

"small summer, get on your bike. We will set off together!" Du Ruiqi shouted to the small summer.

"Alright!" The small summer was almost jumping with joy. To be able to ride a bicycle with the Calligraphy out of the house, it must be something glorious! In the entire Peace Town, there was not a single person who received such treatment!

Liang Xiaosu also came down, she looked at Du Ruiqi and smiled.

"Let's go!" Du Ruiqi nodded at Liang Xiaosu, and indicated for him to go outside.

Looking at Du Ruiqi and small summer pushing their bicycles out, the few officials standing outside all stared at them. They didn't know what Dushuji was going to do. He was even pushing a brand-new bicycle!

"Dushuji, are you going out?" The driver, Xiao Wan, walked over and asked.

"No, I'll take a walk around here. It's convenient to ride a bicycle." Du Ruiqi said.

"Dushuji, where are you going? Just call me at any time, there's no need to ride your own bike!" Little Wan said awkwardly.

For a dignified Calligraphy of a Town Security, to use a special bicycle instead of a personal car, wasn't this a little too strange?

"It's fine, I'm nearby. I'll let you know when we get to the distance." Du Ruiqi said as she rode on her bicycle.

Liang Xiaosu and small summer followed them in a car.

After Du Ruiqi rode on it, it felt really good! It had been a long time since she'd last ridden a bicycle. The feeling of being as light as a swallow and the sound of the wind in her ears gave her a sense of elation that she hadn't felt in a long time! The car small summer chose felt like it was not bad!

It had been raining for a long time and the air was humid. Although it wasn't raining today, the road was still wet. I hope it doesn't rain! Du Ruiqi thought.

Riding all the way down, Du Ruiqi did not have a clear destination, but she wanted to choose a village that she had never been to before, so the villagers there would not recognize her.

small summer brought Liang Xiaosu and followed behind. She didn't know where Du Ruiqi would stop, but she kept on stepping and kept on following him.

Du Ruiqi stepped on it slowly, because there weren't many cars on this provincial road, so it was suitable for riding. There were rice fields on both sides of the road that were full of Purple Clouds. Now was the time when the flowers were in bloom. The small purple flowers were linked together, looking beautiful in the humid air.

Some of the fields had already been turned over, big and big, being flooded. This was because industrious farmers were submerging their fields, allowing the well-grown Purple Cloud Insects to be buried in the soil and fermented into fertilizer to feed the land. Only then would the fields have a good harvest.

They quickly rode past the small hill and went down it. They passed lotus root and arrived at Sha Wan Village, a natural village that was connected to the lotus root.

There were also working farmers in the fields, currently ploughing with cattle.

Du Ruiqi stopped and stood on the side of the road, looking at the farmer who was plowing the fields. He was barefooted with his pants rolled up. He wore a raincoat made of plastic film on his upper body and a bamboo hat on his head. It seemed that he was afraid of rain! Waving the whip in his hand, he shouted, "Hey, hey!" He was driving the ox. The buffalo, spurred on by him, dragged the heavy plough along at a leisurely pace. There was only a little bit of land left to plow. It seemed that this uncle had come to work early in the morning.

Looking at the scene before him, Du Ruiqi unknowingly thought of his own father.

Du Ruiqi rarely saw his father plow the fields like this, and in her memories, she would only be able to go down to the fields together with his father when the time came for him to fight for both of them. But she could imagine her father working in the fields like that. In such a cold water, they would work in the fields barefooted. Over the years, many people would suffer from rheumatism because they didn't know how to appreciate themselves. They wouldn't even be willing to buy a pair of high rubber boots.

Seeing the scene in front of his eyes, Du Ruiqi's eyes unknowingly became a little blurry.

If one were to say who the most lovable person in the world was, she would definitely say that it was these farmers who had toiled in the fields all their lives and supported China! What does our country, which has the largest population in the world, rely on to support so many people with insufficient land? It was these adorable farmers who worked so meticulously, embroidering flowers in the fields, growing food with high yields and supplying rations for billions of people! However, the most ungrateful people in this country were the peasants: they contributed the most, received the least, suffered the most and suffered the most, and suffered the most injustice! The Republic, which they rolled out of in a wheelbarrow, had always regarded them as second-class citizens, welded to the ground by a household register, blind, unstaffed, and suspicious as soon as they entered the city. Their children were unable to follow them around and lived their lives without parents. The food they grew raised 1.3 billion people into millions of tons of Maotai Five Grains Liquid. However, when the famine arrived, they were the first to starve to death …

Liang Xiaosu and small summer also stopped. They didn't know what Du Ruiqi was standing there for, but since she was staring at the farmer who was plowing the fields in the distance, she must be thinking about something …

Du Ruiqi blinked her eyes, the view in front of him cleared up. She saw that the ploughing farmers had finished plowing the field and were driving the cattle up the ridge of the field, leaving them to graze in the ditch. He took off her hat and took out a cigarette from her pocket, then sat down on the ridge and smoked in silence.

Du Ruiqi parked the car and walked down to the farmland.

The edge of the field was wet and overgrown with weeds. It was soft to the touch, and there was even water overflowing his shoes.

She carefully walked over to the old farmer's side and looked at his statue-like uncle. The expression on her face was so resolute that it was hard to tell if she was sad or happy. This bronze face, containing the vicissitudes of time, even the wrinkles, are so resolute. Du Ruiqi squatted down and said, "Uncle, why are you plowing so early?"

The old man was smoking his cigarette in an intoxicated manner. He didn't see her come down at all. When she asked this question, he turned around and looked at the young woman. She was pretty, well-dressed, and had a refined temperament. She didn't seem to be from the countryside. Why did she ask about this?
