Chapter 54: Five years
Millennium, late spring.
At noon, at the end of school, there were teachers and students walking out in twos and threes at the gate of Hongguang Primary School.
A little girl of about six or seven years old, wearing a big red long-sleeved lace dress, white tights underneath, and small black leather shoes under her feet.
She wore a high single ponytail obliquely, and her bangs were tucked in with a chic little clip, revealing a smooth forehead. Melon seed face, eyebrows are very thick, there is a loss of softness and a touch of rigidity, Danfeng eyes, the bridge of the nose is slightly collapsed, and the overall appearance is not very good-looking. The only highlight is that the small mouth is pink, and the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, which is very festive when you look at it. In addition, this playful dress adds points to her appearance, which can barely be called cute. Behind her was a cute cartoon schoolbag, swaying up and down as she jumped.
She saw a familiar figure standing in front of the railing on the second floor of the house from a distance, and she was immediately overjoyed, and ran in the direction of her home. Someone behind her was calling her name loudly, and she couldn't care about it, so she wanted to fly home directly from the school gate, but the stone bridge was a little far away from the school gate, and she had to go around most of the circle to get home. I complained in my heart about why the person who designed the stone bridge didn't connect the stone bridge directly from the school gate to her door.
Panting and running to the other side, he could clearly see the pretty figure upstairs, Yuzhu shouted happily: "Second sister, are you back?"
The little girl ran downstairs quickly and couldn't wait to raise her head and ask her, "Second sister, how many days can you stay when you come back this time?"
Yulan beckoned to her little sister and said with a smile: "Put down the schoolbag first, then wash your hands and eat, if you have any questions, wait until you finish eating, I didn't leave so quickly." ”
Yuzhu obediently sighed.
If her classmates saw her like this, they would have to drop their jaws in fright: when did the usually unruly wild girl ever be so submissive?
Yuzhu put down her schoolbag, ran to the old lady first, kissed her grandmother on the face, and said, "Grandma, I was praised by the teacher today, and the teacher praised me for my good handwriting." ”
The old lady sat in a wheelchair, her wrinkled face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, and she nodded again and again and said, "Our little girl is awesome." ”
Yuzhu proudly raised his chin, looking angry, as if to say: That's!
Li Aihua carefully carried a large bowl of hot and sour soup from the kitchen, because the soup bowl was hot, she didn't dare to be distracted at all, so it was rare that she didn't pour cold water on her little daughter.
Magnolia went downstairs slowly, walked up to the old lady and pushed the wheelchair to the edge of the dining table, squatted down and asked her, "What do you want to eat today?"
The old lady stretched out her thin hand and touched the heads of her two granddaughters successively, and said with a smile: "It's okay, in order to accommodate my old man, let a large family accompany me to eat these tasteless foods for so long, it's hard for you." ”
The old lady is old, her teeth are not good, and the fall last summer has knocked off half of her spirit, and the whole person looks much older.
Li Aihua takes care of the elderly, and the needs of the elderly are the first to buy vegetables and cook, and the taste is really not good. It's okay that the three eldest children in the family are not often at home, but Yuzhu is very picky, can't eat, and often smashes chopsticks in front of him.
Later, he was scolded by Li Aihua: "If it weren't for you, how could your grandmother wrestle, and you are embarrassed to lose your temper?"
Yuzhu didn't dare to be a picky eater anymore.
One day last summer, after a heavy rain the day before, the water was still a little muddy, and the water level was much higher than usual, and the children of the neighbors ran to the bottom of the creek to fish.
Yuzhu has a very wild personality, watching people have fun, she is also ready to move, but the old lady is worried that the ground is too dangerous to slip after the rain, so she is not allowed to go down after watching Yuzhu. Yuzhu took advantage of the old lady's lack of attention, and quietly touched the bottom, and the old lady was in a hurry, chased out tremblingly, stepped into the mud, and suddenly fell on her back.
The old lady is nearly eighty years old, the movement is not very sharp, this fall is extremely heavy, and then sent to the hospital for a few days to rescue, finally snatched back, but after work there is a slight hemiplegia, so can only rely on the wheelchair to move.
Yuzhu felt that she had caused her grandmother to become like this, and she felt guilty.
Li Aihua grasped this point, as soon as Yuzhu lost her temper, she said it, and Yuzhu's temper immediately reined in, which was simply tried and tested.
Yulan knew the cause and effect, and directly donated a large amount of money to the township to repair all the roads in Hongguang Village.
In the past, the loess road simply made people suffer a lot, when it was sunny, the ground was covered with thick ash, every step was taken, it would bring dust, there were gravel everywhere, there were cars passing by, people were close to splash on the body, and they could sweep down three catties of ash with a sweep. When it rains, the roads are muddy, and people who walk three times slippery in one step can fall on their backs if they are not careful.
The village ZF has long been interested in transforming the rural road conditions, but the funds are tight, and the planning has been done a long time ago, but it has been stuck on paper.
Yulan had long been willing to donate money to build the road, but the whole family was against it, on the grounds that it was too high-profile and not good. Grandma's fall made everyone feel relieved, and Yulan immediately transferred the money, and it was very fast to do things when she had money. The road was quickly repaired, and ZF's people proposed to erect a monument to explain the reason for the road, but Magnolia refused. She is used to keeping a low profile, and her reputation is a burden to her.
Because of her low profile, the family moved to Hongguang Village for four years, and people just thought that this house was very beautiful and should have some family background, but they didn't know that the wealth brought by the development of Jinjin in recent years, the Yulan family was already one of the invisible riches in the entire township.
The family eats peacefully. At the dinner table, Yulan mentioned the matter of returning to Nanping Village in the afternoon: "I have something to go over, what does A-Niang need me to bring?"
Yuzhu's eyes rolled slightly, and she asked Yulan tentatively: "Second sister, I don't have classes in the afternoon, you can take a piece with you." ”
Yulan glanced at her, the little girl didn't want to go to school, so she found such an excuse, so she ruthlessly debunked: "I want to skip class again? ”
Yuzhu held her mouth, she didn't know why she was most afraid of this sister in the family, probably because this sister took her to teach her the most time since she was a child, so she was more in awe of the second sister than the teacher. Hearing the second sister say this, she knew that she couldn't go, so she reluctantly poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, and picked it up in her mouth for a while.
Li Aihua poked his finger at Yuzhu's head, "If you are lawless, your sister can cure you." ”
Yuzhu snorted, and had the heart to ask the second sister what was going on to run by herself. But she didn't dare to ask when she looked at her face, in the past two years, every time she saw such a look on the second sister's face, it meant that the second sister's mood was not very good, so it was better not to provoke if she could.
