The clear blue sky, like a sapphire, is extremely pleasing to the eye when people look at it, and there are a few wisps of floating clouds floating by from time to time, looking down on the vast land below like an angel, the weak wind, like the Yiren with a weak hand to caress the face, delicate and silky.

On a dirt path, a thin figure gradually emerged, carrying a bamboo basket made of bamboo on his back, which seemed to contain some grass, which was slightly heavy.

The boy walked slowly but unusually firmly, his not handsome face was covered with beads of sweat, and he let it fall, wetting his shirt, and the boy raised his eyes to look into the distance, and then buried his head and continued walking.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

The young man returned to the house, shouted loudly, then put down the bamboo basket, walked straight to the house, and poured a large sip of the herbal tea that had been prepared on the table.

"Ah, Xuan'er is back, take a break, tell you not to go, you want to go, you're tired!"

With a slightly reproachful but concerned voice, a peasant woman came out of the back room, dressed in shabby clothes, but clean and tidy, and the house was orderly and spotless, showing the peasant woman's way of running the house, although she was poor, but still kept her days in order.

"Hehe, I'm not tired, I'm fine anyway. By the way, what about Dad?" the boy laughed and scratched his head.

"Your father, he went to the fields to see if there was too much water. Xuan'er, you can rest first, I see if the meal is ready. So saying, the woman gave the boy a loving look, and walked towards the pot house.

The young man's name is Qin Xuan, who is in his second year of high school in a key high school in the county, and during the vacation, he returned home to help his parents do farm work, wanting to help the family reduce the burden a little. Qin Xuan rested for a while, then came to the door, picked up the bamboo basket with both hands, and walked towards the cowshed.

When I opened the door, I saw a sturdy green ox lying on the ground, and the rope that passed through its nose was tied to the stake of the ox fixed on the ground.

Qin Xuan poured the grass in the basket in front of the green cow, and the green cow couldn't wait to eat it, this grass was cut by Qin Xuan on the ridge of the field in an afternoon, it was green and stained with some water.

Qin Xuan looked at the green cow eating very happily, and a smile appeared on his face, you must know that this green cow is the hero of the Qin family, plowing the fields and cultivating the crops, it all depends on it. Now is the season of pregnant seedlings, plough the field, turn down the weeds on it, fatten it, fill it up, and then wait for the seedlings to be planted.

Qin Xuan looked at it for a while, then walked out, and just at this time, Father Qin also came back with a hoe, and Qin Xuan hurriedly greeted him.

"Dad, you're back, how is it in the fields?" Although Qin Xuan was still young, his poor family background also made him sensible early, and he also knew the farm work at home.

Looking at the son in front of him, Father Qin's slightly serious expression also showed a hint of a smile, and said, "It's okay, I'm done, I can have a good rest tomorrow." ”

Qin Xuan hurriedly brought a basin of water and asked his father to clean the mud on his face and body.

Looking at his father's slightly vicissitudes of life and his rickety back, looking at it, Qin Xuan's eyes were a little moist, don't overdo it, his father often teaches himself that men don't flick when they have tears, and his father is a man who stands up to the sky.

My father was the third in the family, and when the family was separated, there was only a basket of rice and a dilapidated house, and my father did not complain, and brought my mother to live in, sometimes I didn't even have rice for the pot, so I had to borrow it here and there, but fortunately I survived.

's father also raised three children, Qin Xuan was the third in the family, and his older brothers and sisters, because the family was poor, his brothers and sisters dropped out of school when they were in junior high school to work outside, maintaining the family's income.

Now Qin's father pinned all his high hopes on Qin Xuan, wanting Qin Xuan to be admitted to university and glorify his ancestors, and this may be the only way for this poor family to get rid of poverty.

At this time, Qin's mother also walked out.

"I'm back! I wanted to call Xuan'er to call you just now, you wash it first, the meal is ready." ”

After a while, on the wooden table with four legs, four dishes and one soup were placed, and the family sat around, although they were poor, Qin Xuan felt very warm at this moment.

"I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow, how is my homework now?" Father Qin took the bowl and said after taking a bite of food.

"Dad, don't worry, your son has always been the first in his grade, and he will definitely give you a key university entrance examination when the time comes. Qin Xuan said very confidently.

"Good, good, good!!"

Father Qin was very pleased to say three good words in a row, for this little son, he was extremely satisfied, he was very sensible since he was a child, and he never let him worry about it, and now he is even happier to hear his son say this.

"Xuan'er, you go and bring the wine, our father and son have a good drink today. ”

"Okay, I'll get it. ”

Qin Xuan hurriedly got up, ran to the house and took out a bottle of wine and two glasses, Qin Xuan has drunk since he was a child, according to Qin's father, if a man doesn't drink, then he is not a man. Mother Qin didn't stop it, it's rare to be happy today, so let their father and son have some fun.

During a meal, the three of them had a happy meal, and there was laughter from time to time, and in this silent courtyard, it was a long, long time.

After dinner, Qin Xuan carried a stool to an old banyan tree, this tree was planted by Qin Xuan's grandfather when he was young, and now it has been decades, and the branches are luxuriant, standing there, revealing a little vicissitudes.

Now at night, the sky is full of stars, the sound of frogs in the fields, and the breeze blows, making people feel a little cool, this is the night in the countryside, squinting slightly, Qin Xuan couldn't help but think of pestering his mother to tell himself the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl under the banyan tree when he was a child, thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a happy smile.

"Xuanzi, what are you thinking, so engrossed, I didn't hear it when I came. ”

At this time, a crisp voice suddenly sounded in Qin Xuan's ears, Qin Xuan was startled, turned his head, but saw a bright girl with a long jade body, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Sister Mingming, you scared me, it's nothing, why are you here?"

The person who came was the youngest daughter of Qin Xuan's second uncle, named Qin Mingming, who was in the same high school and class as Qin Xuan.

Coincidentally, whether in elementary school, junior high school, or high school, they were all in the same class. The two of them are the same age, Qin Mingming has always been a lady in school, and only in front of him can he recover his naughty personality, often teasing Qin Xuan, and only Qin Xuan knows the pain.

"I'm going to come and see you, see if you're tanned again, hehe!" The crisp laughter echoed in the air, and there was a sense of refreshment in the sound, Qin Xuan stood aside awkwardly, scratching his head, and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Qin Mingming smiled and said, "Okay, just kidding, I don't know how to do two math problems, I want you to take a look." As she spoke, she took out a book from behind her and handed it to Qin Xuan, who took it and said, "Go to the house, it's too dark here." ”

"Hmm. The two of them walked together towards the house.

"It's coming!"

"Yes, uncle, I'm still busy, I'll ask Xuanzi two questions. ”

"Hehe, then you guys go, obviously work hard!"

"What's the matter, Xuanzi is called hard work, he takes the first grade every time, I don't have to ask him. ”

"Hehe, it's all the same, it's all the same. Father Qin walked out with a smile.

Qin Ming looked at Qin Xuan's stupid appearance, knocked him twice, and went in, the two sat down, Qin Xuan opened the textbook, looked at the two questions circled, and recalled that he was also sleepy in these two questions in the morning, so he knew that the other party should not have turned a corner in that line of thought, so he told her the idea in detail.

"Alas, if only I had Xuanzi and you were so smart, I just didn't expect it after thinking about it for a long time, alas!" Qin Mingming sighed.

"Sister Mingming, that's because you didn't calm down, if you were at school, you would have thought about it a long time ago. Qin Xuan said with a smile.

"That's, who called me your sister Mingming, hehe. Qin Mingming blinked, and laughed as he spoke.

"Alright, I should go back, finish the questions tonight, and I can have fun tomorrow!" he said and walked out.

"Auntie, I'm going back. At this time, Qin Mu walked in with a basin of water, "Let's go, ask Xuanzi to send you, come and play tomorrow!"

"Yes, Auntie. Qin Xuan also walked out, Qin Ming said goodbye to Qin's father, and the two walked out.

On the trail, there was a sound of frogs chirping in the field in the distance, and neither of them spoke, walking quietly. Suddenly, Qin Mingming sighed and almost fell, but fortunately, Qin Xuan helped her all of a sudden, the roads in the countryside are not like those in the city, there are potholes everywhere, and there are tree branches, walking at night, you will trip if you are not careful.

"Xuanzi, what are you doing tomorrow?"

"I'm going to herd cattle tomorrow, what about you?"

"I, I'm going to Xie Xiaojuan's house to play, I haven't seen her for a long time. Xie Xiaojuan is Qin Mingming's junior high school friend, due to the failure of the high school entrance examination, he went to an ordinary high school in the county, and the two came to Qin Mingming's house while talking.

"Can you go in and sit for a while?" Qin Mingming said.

"No, you can go in, see you the day after tomorrow!"

"Well, you go back and be careful, see you the day after tomorrow. With that, he pushed open the door and walked in, Qin Xuan turned around and walked towards home, and after a while, he returned to the house.

"Obviously home?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then you dig out some water and wash it. ”

"Okay, Mom. ”

After washing, Qin Xuan came to his house, lay on the bed, and listened to the noise of the fields in the distance, Qin Xuan thought a lot for a while.

Due to the poverty of his family, Qin Xuan was very frugal in his life and never asked his family for an extra penny, but the money was not saved but earned. Qin Xuan couldn't help but think of his brothers and sisters, how were they doing in the field, were they tired from work, and were they okay?

His elder brothers and sisters are only two years older than him, but at their age, they should live a carefree life in school, but now they are working in other places, in order to provide Qin Xuan with education, they have stepped into the society without hesitation, just to not let this family, not to add burden to their parents.

Thinking about it, Qin Xuan silently shed tears, the man didn't flick when he had tears, just because he didn't get to the sad place. Qin Xuan's heart aches for his older brothers and sisters, and it hurts for his parents, and he only hates that he can't grow up quickly and can't lighten the burden on his family.

silently wiped away his tears, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must let his relatives live a happy life in the future, which is his lifelong commitment.

For this reason, he worked hard to study, and took the first grade every time, just to see the relieved smile on his father's face, for his mother's ardent expectations, for not to disappoint his brothers and sisters, and so that the family could live a happy life in the future, even if it was hard and tired, he was willing.

With the oath in his heart, with the longing for tomorrow, Qin Xuan gradually fell asleep, at this moment there was a sound of frogs outside the house, in this starry night, it seemed to tell that tomorrow would be better and better, who said it wasn't!

{A new journey, a new beginning, chopsticks to everyone to collect, ask for a red ticket, I wish you a happy life!}
