After five o'clock the next day, before dawn, Jiang Yucai got up and hurriedly stepped out of the house with a small bag on her back.

Jiang Yucai thought that the children were still sleeping, and she didn't want to wake them up at this time, so she acted lightly.

However, Jiang Yucai didn't know that Hu Mingchen, who lived next door to her and couldn't sleep, had already woken up.

It's just that Jiang Yucai didn't bother Hu Mingchen, and Hu Mingchen didn't show up. When Jiang Yucai closed the door, Hu Mingchen was actually standing behind the window, observing his mother's every move through the gap in the wooden plank.

When Jiang Yucai walked down the path leading to Sanjiazhai in the dark, Hu Mingchen also gently opened the door and came to the courtyard.

It was pitch black in the field of vision, except for the stars in the sky.

If you are not used to walking, you would not dare to take such a rugged path at this time, and the distant peaks can only be faintly seen in the starlight, let alone the road surface in the ravine.

To walk this kind of road is to rely on familiar feelings and groping.

Hu Mingchen, who was standing on the courtyard ridge, could not see his mother's shadow at all after he went out, and he could only judge where his mother was by the faint sound of pedestrians rubbing against the grass and corn leaves on the roadside from a distance in this silent night.

can't accompany his mother to a foreign land, and Hu Mingchen can only accompany her for a short time through this kind of vision.

O starlight in the sky, shine brighter, and I hope you will help Mother to illuminate the dark path a little more. O starlight in the sky, shine brighter, and I hope you will help your mother to determine the direction clearly, not only to illuminate the way she is going, but also to illuminate the way back for her and her father.

......

At seven o'clock in the morning, it was dawn, and Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao finally rubbed their sleepy eyes and climbed up.

"Sister, Yujiao, wash your face and eat, I've warmed up breakfast, and I've poured the pig food into the pig trough. When Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao walked into the hall, Hu Mingchen happened to walk out of the room with a blackened kettle.

"You...... Why did you get up so early? It's still hot, strange, why don't you sleep lazy?" Although Hu Mingchen had an excellent performance yesterday, Hu Mingchen got up at seven o'clock today, and he also warmed up the meal and boiled the water, which still surprised Hu Yandie, who was the eldest sister.

According to the agreement of the three sisters and brothers, they have to take turns to heat breakfast every day, but in actual operation, Hu Mingchen has not really cashed in a few times.

Not to mention that every time it was his turn, he always found all kinds of excuses to dodge, even if Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao heated up the meal and asked him to get up to eat, Hu Mingchen was still a little unhappy.

In a word, most of the time, Hu Mingchen waited until his sister and sister were about to leave for school, and then he would get up, take a mouthful of food, and then run out of the door with his schoolbag on his back.

The boys are active and fast, even if Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao go out first, Hu Mingchen can always catch up with them before school.

Today, his mother went to another place and was not at home, Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao discussed last night, if Hu Mingchen didn't get up by himself today, they would punish him well, not only did they not heat his meal, but they didn't call him to school, just waiting for him to be hungry to school and then being criticized and punished by the teacher.

Who knew that not only could he not punish Hu Mingchen, but he took the first step to prepare everything. This immediately surprised Hu Yandi and Hu Yujiao, and they were also a little caught off guard.

"Don't worry, I promise never to sleep again in the future, and I will never shirk what I should do. Hu Mingchen patted his chest and reassured.

"Sister, what do you mean never shirk?" Hu Yujiao raised her head, scratched the back of her head, and asked Hu Yandi puzzled.

"That's it...... It is....... He won't be lazy anymore, and he won't be slick anymore. Hu Yandie understood what it meant, but let her explain, she really didn't know how to proceed, so she just fooled her sister next to the meaning.

"Okay, that's what you said, and we'll trust you again for the time being. Let me tell you, now that your mother is not at home, if you are lazy, no one will help you, we will not get used to you, don't cry and complain when your parents come back, we are not afraid. Immediately, Hu Yandie turned to Hu Mingchen and warned.

When she got up in the morning, the preset measures were like a punch on cotton, and Hu Yandie was still a little unwilling. But Hu Mingchen has already made progress, and she can only give a stern warning.

The three siblings washed their faces, ate breakfast briefly, locked the door and hurried to the school on the street.

There is actually a Huangni Primary School in Huangni Village, but the Huangni Primary School is set up in three groups on the mountain, and it takes half an hour to climb the mountain from Hu Mingchen's house. Therefore, only some families close to the mountain will send their children to Huangni Primary School.

In addition, Huangni Primary School also has a disadvantage, that is, the teachers and conditions are far inferior to the schools on the street, so many families are still willing to send their children to the primary school on the street as long as the conditions are slightly permitted.

Not far from the house, Hu Mingchen and the others met the three brothers and sisters of Hu Dehua's family at a fork in the road.

"Uncle, your head injury is not completely healed, why did you go to school too?" Seeing Hu Mingchen walking with Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao, Hu Xiaomin asked curiously.

"If you don't get in the way of going to school, you still have to go, if you skip too much school, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with others. Hu Mingchen replied.

"Hehe, uncle, it's rare, you can go to study when you're not at home, which doesn't fit your habits. Hu Dehua quipped.

"People change, don't look at people with old eyes. In the future, you will find more changes in me, let's go, we must study hard in the future, only knowledge can change ourselves, and only knowledge can change the face of poverty in our Duge Township. Hu Mingchen responded calmly.

Hu Mingchen's simple words made several people very sloppy.

Hu Yujiao and Hu Xiaohua didn't understand what Hu Mingchen said at all, while Hu Yandie, Hu Dehua and Hu Xiaomin didn't understand why Hu Mingchen could suddenly say something that could only be heard from the teacher's mouth.

It seems that Hu Mingchen is really different all of a sudden, and he has really changed a lot.

"Don't tell me, he's really changed, you know? He chopped pigweed yesterday and got up early today to feed the pigs and hot rice, and I almost didn't believe my eyes. Hu Yandie said from the side.

"Isn't it? Uncle, you still feed the pigs and get up in advance to heat the meal? Hehe, why does it sound a little fake, I don't do any of this, you actually do. Hu Dehua teased incredulously.

Hu Dehua is also the only son in the family, and his role is very similar to Hu Mingchen, and he is more favored by Hu Mingyi and Long Cui'e at home. Even if he is the eldest in the family, but as younger sisters, Hu Xiaomin and Hu Xiaohua obviously do more housework than him.

At most, Hu Dehua would do some pigweed, herd the cows, feed the pigs, cook rice and wash dishes, or even sweep the floor.

"Fake or not, I'll know it slowly in the future. Let's go faster, the sun is rising, if you don't hurry, I'm afraid you'll be late. Hu Mingchen didn't explain much, and it didn't make sense to explain more.

Facts speak louder than words, besides, Hu Mingchen is an "adult" who has been reborn, and he doesn't want to behave too differently all of a sudden, so he has to give these people around him a time to adapt.

Change should happen in subtle life, when they adapt to Hu Mingchen's changes, then in the future, no matter what kind of amazing actions Hu Mingchen has, I believe they will not be surprised.

In fact, several of them didn't stop when they were talking, but Hu Mingchen just found an excuse to change the topic.

Now none of them have a watch on their hands, and there is no way to have a CALL machine or mobile phone, for the people in this place at this time, the time is completely estimated and the sun gives reference and guidance. Hu Mingchen has not had this kind of experience for at least ten years, and he is indeed a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Uncle, don't worry, you will never be late, usually you go out later than now. By the way, Daxiao, when we came over just now, we saw Xiangxiang at the door of her house, do you want to wait for him to come along?" Hu Xiaomin said.

孃 is a kind of name for female elders in the dialect, and the fragrant fragrance in Hu Xiaomin's mouth is Hu Xiangxiang, the daughter of Hu Mingchen's uncle's family.

"What are she doing, let's go ours, it's not like she doesn't know the way. Before Hu Yandie could answer, Hu Yujiao preemptively objected.

Hu Mingchen's parents and aunt Liu Chunhua had a fierce quarrel last year, and since then, Liu Chunhua has not allowed Hu Xiangxiang and Hu Yandie to play together.

Originally, the affairs of adults have nothing to do with children, and everyone is still a very close cousin relationship no matter what. But Liu Chunhua's seriousness and Hu Xiangxiang's fear of her mother made her relationship with Hu Yandie's three siblings a little delicate.

Hu Jianjun and Jiang Yucai have never asked their children not to associate with their cousin Hu Mingyi and cousin Hu Xiangxiang, but Hu Xiangxiang is afraid of being scolded by Liu Chunhua, so she often shows some sense of distance, which makes Hu Yandie and Hu Yujiao a little unacceptable.

For example, no matter whether they talk at school or not, and whether they come back together after school, anyway, when they are about to get home, Hu Xiangxiang will not walk with Hu Mingchen's three sisters and brothers. Either she ran back first, or she deliberately fell behind. for fear of being seen and scolded by Liu Chunhua.

"Let it be, it's an adult's business to quarrel with adults, our relationship is our relationship, don't wait deliberately, she catches up, we don't shy away from it, just do what you want, break the bones and connect the tendons. Hu Mingchen then said.

"What Xiao Chen said makes sense, we don't wait, we will join her when she comes, if she deliberately lets us go away, then let her go. Hu Yandie rarely stood with Hu Mingchen in terms of attitude.
