Chapter 189: Yu Jixing went home from vacation
After Yu Jixing took the car to xx town, he got off the car, found the station to his hometown, and stood there waiting for the bus.
There were quite a few people waiting there, and soon a tricycle came, and after a while, it was immediately full, and he had to stand there and wait.
At this time, there was a cry in the distance, as if it was his father's cry, and he turned around and saw his father coming on a motorcycle.
parked the car nearby, Dad immediately got out of the car and said with a smile: "Jixing, you're back, why don't you call Dad to pick you up." ”
Jixing immediately called his father, today is the town to catch the market, and all the villagers from more than 20 villages are here, so the car is a little crowded.
Usually this is not the case, and there are still loudspeakers in the shops on both sides of the street, telling everyone to come and buy. It looks noisy.
The father immediately took his son's luggage, tied it to the motorcycle, and after fixing it, let his son get into the car, and he himself went up, and rode the motorcycle to the road where he was home.
Dad is a staff member of the post and telecommunications office, and he will ride his bicycle to the town every day to deliver and receive all kinds of mailing items from the villagers, at least once a day.
Driving on the dusty dirt road, both dad and son were happy, driving carefully, finally after three years of intense high school, and now they can finally relax a little.
The scent of grass and wildflowers wafted through the air, mixed with the dirt, and the crops in the fields kept moving backwards.
About half an hour later, finally arrived home, the father and son hurriedly got out of the car, Mengzhu's mother had already returned, she thought that her son came back today, was cooking in the kitchen, heard the sound of the motorcycle, and hurried out.
Yu Jixing hurriedly called his mother, and Mengzhu's mother hurriedly smiled and said, "Jixing, you're back, your mother has already cooked the meal, I'll go and serve it first." ”
Saying that, he turned around and went to the kitchen, and his father helped his son carry his luggage home and put it in the room where he used to live, and his mother had already packed up, knowing that several of his classmates were coming, and cleaned up the house.
After the arrangement was completed, the father and son came to the hall, which had four rooms, all of which were red bricks.
When the first couple first got married, they borrowed 10,000 yuan from the bank, and then they gave birth to a son, and the salary was used to repay the bank and the son's schooling expenses.
The old people of the two families will only buy something to eat for them during the holidays, and the two husbands and wives are usually very frugal, the father does not smoke or drink, and the mother does not often buy clothes.
Compared with other farmers, the two couples will have a little salary every month, everyone sat down at the dinner table, and four dishes have been arranged, two vegetables and two meats, and the spicy fragrance is coming.
Mom and Dad kept giving food to their son, telling him to eat more, Yu Jixing would not use the living expenses every month, he calculated how much each month, and asked his mother to give him so much.
In the year he helped You Xiaoming, he asked his mother to give him more than 200 yuan a month, and his parents thought that he had eaten it himself, thinking that his son was still growing up, and his mother agreed, and he didn't tell his parents that this was the case.
Later, You Xiaoming didn't need their help, he asked his mother to only give him an extra 100 yuan a month, and his mother also said that he was okay and told him to eat enough. He said he did.
Looking at his son's uniform figure, the facial features on his face are very standard, and he is a handsome guy, but he walks with a little lame on his right foot.
Dad asked while eating: "Jixing, Mom and Dad congratulate you on completing these three years of high school, call your grandparents and grandpa tomorrow, your grandmother has left, and she didn't tell you, I'm afraid you will be sad and affect your studies." ”
My mother was eating cabbage and whispered: "Yes, your grandmother has only been gone for a month, and she is old and sick, so she left, and her grandmother is very good to us, invite them to come over for dinner tomorrow, do you have anything to do tomorrow?"
Jixing was eating a lot of food, a little sad, since he was a child, his parents didn't have time, and most of them were grandparents who took him.
Dad said to himself that if the grandparents were sick, let the grandparents take them, and they were still very good to themselves.
I remember that when I came back from my first year of study, my grandmother gave him 500 yuan in pocket money, holding banknotes of various sizes, but Ji Xing didn't want it at first, because he knew that it was difficult for his grandmother to earn money. After a long time of resignation, he finally accepted it.
When his grandparents came back from vacation in the second and third years, they gave him pocket money respectively, adding up to 1,000 yuan, all of which the old people saved money for.
Usually, Mom and Dad rarely give them money, because they pay off the debt, and they also have medical treatment for themselves, and they are in high school in the city, which is a lot.
When the old man gives money, he will tell him to study hard and unite his classmates, and he will smile and say that he knows.
Ji Xing had no choice but to whisper: "Okay, I told my classmates that I can't go tomorrow, so that they all have time before going to their respective homes." ”
Mom immediately said okay, wait a while to call your dad's place of work, and dad said yes.
The family talked about this year's college entrance examination questions and the number of participants, and felt that the pressure was still very high, and his father reassured him that it was okay to go there for the exam, and I believe in your school.
Speaking of key universities in the country, Mom and Dad still know, after all, Mom also graduated from XX Normal School before.
Mom asked him to fill in after reading the scores, x Hua, x big, it's best if you can go, don't be sad if you can't go, and other key universities are okay.
Jixing nodded and said okay, and when he finished eating, his mother cleaned up the dishes and went to wash.
Dad was going to work in the xx bureau in the village, Jixing and him called the four classmates, and the two fathers and sons talked to their mothers, took a break and went out.
Dad took him on a motorcycle, and it didn't take long for him to come to the village post and telecommunications office, and after parking, the two fathers and sons got out of the car, and Dad opened the door, and there was only one room, which was piled up with the villagers' mail.
There are two long wooden tables for the villagers to sit and write when they send things and letters, there are three pens there, and in the drawers of the table are the bottom sheets of the mail, which are kept so that the villagers can check them.
There is a white landline phone on the table, and the villagers usually call their relatives outside, but there are very few telephones installed at that time.
Charge according to the time, cheaper than the big city outside, Yu Jixing picked up the phone and started dialing, and the three other classmates in the city had landline phones at home, and all of them were written to him.
Only You Xiaoming and himself did not. I only have a QQ number, and I can only find a computer to contact, and I don't have a mobile phone at that time.
first dialed the landline phone of Ren Qinghai's house, and after ringing for a while, someone answered, Yu Jixing hurriedly said that he was looking for Ren Qinghai, and it might be an adult who answered it.
Ren Qinghai came to pick him up immediately, and Yu Jixing told him that he couldn't go to school tomorrow because he had something at home. Ren Qinghai said yes. You get busy first.
Then Yu Jixing called Zhang Tianhong and Hu Dajun again, and told them about it, and they all said that they would come back when they were busy, and they would make a call then.
After the call, it is not good to contact You Xiaoming, he has no phone at home, tomorrow to see if he wants to go to school, then he will ask Hu Dajun about them.
I wanted to write to tell him, but I forgot to ask his family's zip code, only wrote a specific address, and first asked my father You Xiaoming's zip code, his family belongs to another town, and my father said that they are all the same.
It will take a day to send a letter back and forth here, send it now, and it is estimated that it will be received by this time tomorrow.
In this case, if he goes to school and still does not receive it, there are no Internet cafes on the rural streets, only in the towns. He sighed and said, "Dad, forget it."
If he went to school and didn't see us, he would have called them and asked them to tell him, that there was no phone contact, and sometimes it was really inconvenient. ”
Dad had no choice but to sort out the items to be sent to the town, as well as the items to be collected by the villagers tomorrow, Yu Jixing and he sorted them out, and Dad was alone.
has been working for nineteen years, and is forty-five years old, married to Mengzhu at the age of twenty-five, and Yu Jixing, who was born in the second year.
The two fathers and sons sorted it out slowly, couldn't make mistakes, recorded it all, checked the two, and put it down if there were no mistakes.
It took almost two hours to tidy up here, and Dad finally breathed a sigh of relief, usually there are not many items, and he still has time to rest.
Especially on holidays, there are a lot of items sent back from outside, and I will always be busy until about nine o'clock in the evening before going back, and I bought a flashlight with strong light.
Mengzhu always cooks first when he comes home, and when he comes back to eat, he corrects the students' homework first, and the dinner of the two couples is relatively late.
Dirty clothes who have time to wash, cooking too, after 20 years, the two couples have not quarreled, such couples are relatively rare in the countryside, real model garden couples.
After tidying up, the father closed the old wooden door, locked it, and took his son home on his motorcycle.
Not long after, when I returned to my house, my mother had already gone to the two old people's homes and said that they would come over tomorrow, not far away, and the two villages were next to each other.
Now I am washing out the meat that I will eat tomorrow, and I have plucked the large piece of pig hair in my hand, and I am roasting it in the kitchen and washing it out again.
The father and son hurriedly helped, and the day before yesterday they bought a big hen, a big fat duck, and a rabbit, so that they could kill them today and cook them tomorrow.
The family was busy, Yu Jixing helped light the fire, and there was no homework after the exam, and his heart was very relaxed.
When I was a child, I helped burn it at home, and looking at my son who was as tall as himself, my father was relieved a lot, for fear that he would not grow tall.
After the two couples killed the three domestic animals, they began to scald them with boiling water in plastic buckets, and began to pluck the hair of the domestic animals.
After washing and grilling, start washing, put it on a wooden cutting board, disembowel it, clean up the internal organs, and put it on with salt and peppercorns.
After finishing it, it was almost night, Yu Jixing started to cook, although he rarely cooked, but he still could, his father washed the vegetables and cut them, and his mother went to correct his homework, she taught elementary school, and she always was.
Some students are really poor at studying, and Mengzhu's mother made up lessons for them and asked them to hand them in well, so they are on vacation, and there are homework to change.
The fees for make-up classes in rural schools are very cheap, and the principal of the school collects them on his behalf, and then he will pay the salary to the teachers.
By the time the meal is ready, my mother has already finished correcting one-third, and Mengzhu's mother is very serious about correcting her homework, she will write the correct answer next to it, and let the students go back to memorize it, and then test him after memorizing.
The father and son brought the meal to the table and told her to eat, and she said yes, and the family ate happily under the bright fluorescent lamp, steaming hot.
