The original shade of the tree has been silently moved by the sun, the sun is shining, a group of people waited, put away the dishes, moved the tables and chairs, and changed to the shade under the eaves, Zhang Xuemei helped clean up the messy tree, and helped clean up the empty disc bowls on the table, and Zheng Lijuan and Aunt Qiang finished washing in the kitchen.

Looking at the time, she reluctantly took Zheng Lijuan's arm and said: Auntie, I should go back, or I won't be able to catch the car! Zheng Lijuan also looked at her reluctantly, and said: I haven't been busy talking to you today-you're leaving?

Zhang Xuemei giggled and said, "Aunt Juan, next time, I have to go back and clean up, and tomorrow I have to go to the provincial capital to look for a job!" Zheng Lijuan looked at Zhang Xuemei, helped hang the hair on her forehead behind her ears, and said: Okay then - the coming day will be long! After speaking, she shouted to the "ghost brother" who was still pushing the cup and changing the lamp while "selling guanzi": Brother ghost, Xuemei is going back, you go and send it off!

Ah--"Brother Ghost" shouted with a little regret, and said wistfully: It's still early--Xuemei-Zhang Guoqiang, Uncle Qiang, and Aunt Qiang also echoed: Is it--it's still early-what's the hurry?

Zhang Xuemei smiled and said: I came back in the morning and put down the bag and came down directly, haven't I seen my mother yet? "Ghost brother" looked at the determined Zhang Xuemei, lowered his head a little lost, got up and pushed out the bicycle, and when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he turned back to Zhang Guoqiang and Uncle Qiang and Aunt Qiang and shouted: Uncle-aunt-Brother Qiang, don't go back yet, I told me what I thought, let's discuss it and then go back-The three of them looked at the "ghost brother" to show their approval.

"Brother Ghost" and Zhang Xuemei walked into the thick alley, and a pleasant cool breeze drifted by. Walking across the stone bridge, "Ghost Brother" stepped into the car and motioned for Zhang Xuemei to sit in the back seat. Zhang Xuemei said angrily: Then you can ride away first!

"Brother Ghost" turned his head to look at her in confusion, a little confused by the second monk, thinking that he was not in a hurry to leave just now, but he would not be in a hurry again, and said: Aren't you in a hurry to leave? Zhang Xuemei glared at her angrily and said: Are you really stupid or fake stupid?

"Brother Ghost" stepped out of the car, wiped the back of his head, and looked at her innocently; Zhang Xuemei sighed, walked forward helplessly, and walked quickly to the front, and "Brother Ghost" pushed the bicycle and hurried to catch up. Zhang Xuemei looked back at him and said with a smile: You have a part-time job?

"Brother Ghost" smiled embarrassedly and said, "Listen to what you say, isn't this your suggestion to me?" Zhang Xuemei giggled, glanced at "Brother Ghost," bowed her head and said nothing, and the two walked forward silently. The sun slanting to the west, the poplars and willows on the left bank, the elongated shadows stretch and fold their arms on the flickering right bank—

"Brother Ghost" asked in a hesitant manner: Xuemei, how are you finding a job? Zhang Xuemei looked depressed and said a little depressed: I have run several job fairs, and several of them are still waiting for notices!

"Brother Ghost" sighed and tried to say: Do you have to stay in the provincial capital -- isn't your grandfather also looking for you in the city? Zhang Xuemei said thoughtfully, half-jokingly: Aren't you going to the provincial capital too?

"Brother Ghost" smiled happily, glared at his eyes and retorted: If you don't want to come back, you just say that you don't want to come back, and you still use me as a reason! Zhang Xuemei stopped, also stared at "Brother Ghost", and said angrily: Let's go-get in the car-

"Brother Ghost" was stunned, looked at her helplessly, and stepped into the car; Zhang Xuemei cautiously dragged "Brother Ghost" clothes and jumped into the car, the bumpy path made her have to cling to the shoulders of "Brother Ghost"; "Brother Ghost" tried to slow down as much as possible, bypassing potholes, Zhang Xuemei put down her hand and rested her head on his back. The warm, hot temperature rushed from the spine to the top of the head, and after a while, the forehead of the "ghost brother" began to sweat, and the breeze blew the long flowing hair, teasing the exposed skin of the "ghost brother", and the itchy feeling penetrated deep into the bottom of my heart——

Riding on the Fanqingjiang Bridge, the two were speechless to each other, quietly waiting for the bus; Zhang Xuemei sat by the window, looked at the "ghost brother" with a smile, and slowly left - "ghost brother" looked at the looming car shadow, a little excited, a little sad and rode back in the car, a faint magnolia fragrance poured from the back to the nose, making him feel slightly drunk-

Drunk and drunk, I returned to the courtyard, the table had been cleaned up, Liu Jianjian's large tea jar and a box of cigarettes were placed, and the slightest breeze was blowing, and I chatted about family life intermittently. Seeing the "ghost brother" come back, Zheng Lijuan deliberately complained and asked with a smile: Why is it so long?

"Brother Ghost" stopped the car and said: "Is it long--I don't feel like it will be long!Everyone laughed, Zheng Lijuan said: The sun has sent you down--that's because you feel that time is short! "Brother Ghost" heard the meaning, smiled embarrassedly, sighed helplessly, and came to sit down. Everyone looked at "Brother Ghost" silently, he picked up the big teapot and drank it, and was stunned for a while before remembering what he said before sending Zhang Xuemei.

"Brother Ghost" cleared his throat and said solemnly: Brother Qiang can go to my father's furniture workshop! After speaking, he turned his head to look at Liu Jianshe and asked: Is it okay, Dad? Liu Jianshe smiled and said: Of course I can, I am short of people, that is, young people now want to go out and make a lot of money, and I can't look down on me, and I am afraid that the carpenter will have no successor in the future - I don't know what Guoqiang means!

Zhang Guoqiang looked at Uncle Qiang, and said embarrassedly: Uncle, can I do it, clumsy! Liu Jianshe smiled and said: Guoqiang, don't talk about yourself like that, I have only one apprentice left now, I haven't even gone to school, the main thing is that you can stay, learn steadily, others can't teach, I already want to teach you, I don't earn much money, but it is relatively stable, although you don't earn more outside, but the cost is less!

"Brother Ghost" also said happily: My thoughts are like this, first, as long as my father agrees to accept you as an apprentice, you can learn the carpenter's craft slowly, which is also learned in a day or two; second, you can also help take care of your uncle's meat stall when the market is held; third, the external business of the furniture workshop has been relying on my father alone, basically not carried out, you can come to carry out business, run orders. In this way, your income is not lower than that of those who go to the south and go to the provincial capital to work!

Liu Jianshe looked at the "ghost brother", stretched his face, smiled happily, and said: Guixian is right, we are all our own people, I don't treat Guoqiang as an outsider, and Guixian is treated equally;

Uncle Qiang and Aunt Qiang couldn't stop nodding their heads, "Brother Ghost" was suddenly interested, looked at Liu Jianshe and said: Dad, you don't have to worry, the future house decoration is inseparable from carpentry, you can take Brother Qiang to the south to see more and learn more;

Liu Jianshe gave a thumbs up to the "ghost brother", looked at Uncle Qiang, Aunt Qiang and Zhang Guoqiang, and said earnestly: "Uncle Zhang, his aunt, Guoqiang, depending on what you think, you can come at any time!" "Brother Ghost" looked at Zhang Guoqiang with a smile, and said half-jokingly: Deputy Director Zhang, let's go tomorrow!

Zhang Guoqiang stood up, looked at Uncle Qiang and Aunt Qiang, knelt down to Liu Jianjian, and after the apprenticeship ceremony, Liu Jianshe hurriedly helped Zhang Guoqiang up in a daze, and said embarrassedly: Guoqiang, you should give this great gift to your parents, I can afford it! Uncle Qiang threw away the cigarette butt and said: Uncle, that's it, I don't bother you! Aunt Qiang came over, held Liu Jianjian's hand, and said gratefully: Uncle, you can afford it, you will discipline it well in the future, you will beat when you should beat, and scold when you should scold!

Zheng Lijuan stood up, walked over, and said: His aunt, Guoqiang is good, no need to beat, no need to scold, in the past three years, I have grown up, sensible, know what to do and what not to do, follow his uncle to study hard, work hard, and we can rest assured that our own children!

As he was talking, the phone in the bedroom rang, and the "ghost brother" hurriedly ran in and picked up the receiver: Hey-

Hey-Brother Ghost, I'm Zhang Xuemei, I'm home! Hearing Zhang Xuemei's voice, "Brother Ghost" was a little excited, and said with a smile in surprise: Xuemei-you-Before "Brother Ghost" finished speaking, I heard Teacher Zhang say next to me: Say the right thing--Tell the right thing-

After a while, Teacher Zhang said on the phone: "Brother ghost, you can call to inquire about the results of the college entrance examination, hurry up and check! Before the "ghost brother" answered, the voice of "doodoo" rang, and the phone hung up.
