Time is like that, you think it's going slowly, it's getting longer and longer, and if you count "there are only two days left" on your fingers, it will pass with a snap.

Zhou Xiaoliu took the note with the address stuffed into her hand by Jin Hong before getting into the car, silent, thinking about Jin Hong's repeated advice, she sighed, it's not that my sister doesn't want to see you, it's not that my sister doesn't want to write to you, my sister has no money, and I can't afford a lollipop sister in five, let alone a stamp ticket. It's better to wait for my sister's cloud technique to be completed, and then fly over to see you when I find time.

She watched Jin Hong's car drift away until she could no longer see it, and then turned around. Today is a farewell day, Jin Hong was sent away in the morning, and Zhou's father and mother were also leaving in the afternoon.

Zhou Xiaoliu walked home, humming in his mouth: "Outside the long pavilion, ...... by the ancient road"

There was a sudden coldness on her face, she stretched out her palm and probed, it was drizzling, and even God came to sensationalize, so she quickened her pace and went home.

Zhou Peng took a branch and drew circles under the wall outside the door, as if he was still sulking. Zhou's father and Zhou's mother carried a basket containing Zhou Cheng's clothes, and took Zhou Cheng to the second grandmother's house and did not come back. The second sister and the third sister whispered around the eldest sister. Zhou Xiaoliu walked in.

Her second sister Zhou Xiaofang asked, "Eldest sister, what can you do?"

"Well, first secretly pack a few clothes, mix in your parents' luggage, wait for the car to leave, climb up, depending on how your parents rush, we just don't get out of the car, the car drives, and your parents will agree. Zhou Xiaohong said.

"Eldest sister, I won't go, the three of us are gone, what about Xiaopeng and Xiaoliu? No one is watching, but I can't let my sister-in-law bully him to death, well, there is also the fourth uncle, he can also be murdered." Zhou Xiaoxian thought about it for a while, she still wanted to go to school, the teacher said that reading can also become productive and earn money, just like Wenyuan's cousin, and for the sake of her younger brothers and sisters, she can't leave.

"Whatever you want, I'm going to follow my parents anyway. Zhou Xiaohong glanced at Zhou Xiaoxian and replied.

"Xiaopeng, what are you doing squatting outside the door, don't blow it to the cold wind, your parents will not be at home in the future, you have to learn to take care of yourself......" Zhou's mother, who had just arrived at the door, had red circles in her eyes and a little hoarse voice, obviously she had already cried once when she had just sent Zhou Cheng to her second grandmother's house for foster care.

"You're nine years old, you can't play with children anymore, you have to listen to your sisters. Zhou's mother reached out to touch Zhou Peng's head, but Zhou Peng pouted and avoided it, Zhou's mother pulled him up, straightened his clothes for him, and as she spoke, tears flowed out again.

"Yo, what's wrong, why are you crying?" Grandma Zhou walked over, "Let's eat first, and go wait for the bus early after eating." ”

Last night, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother went to discuss it with Grandpa Zhou, except for Zhou Cheng, the five children were entrusted to Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou, and at the end of the year, each child was counted as 800 yuan for food.

Grandpa Zhou originally planned to ask for 1,000 per child, but Zhou's mother said: "I don't know what the situation is going there now, who knows how much I can earn?" And Xiaohong doesn't have to go to school, she can help with the work at home and abroad, even the youngest Xiaoliu, you can also let her help herd the cattle......"

Grandpa Zhou reluctantly agreed, he thought to himself, eight hundred actually made a lot of money, except for Zhou Peng, Zhou's mother's baby bump, he worked hard for others, and there was a lot of work at home.

After eating, Zhou's father carried two duffel bags, followed by Zhou's mother and a string of children, and walked to the station in the town while accompanying Grandpa Zhou, who was seeing him off, without saying a word.

This is the first time Zhou Xiaoliu has gone to the town in his life, the road is not easy to walk, the road surface is uneven, fortunately it only rained for a short time today, otherwise, the muddy road can stick off the shoes.

The shoes Zhou Xiaoliu wore were the old shoes of the third sister, not to mention the wide, and the soles had long been worn thin, so the slightly sharp stones on the road could sting the soles of her feet. In addition to Zhou Cheng, she is small at home, so she has never worn new clothes, pants, shoes and socks, all of them are worn by her brothers and sisters, and Zhou's mother, the only one in the family who can needlework, is unwilling to spend effort to change, so she can only make do with it.

She tugged at her pants as she walked, occasionally stretching her toes, and after half an hour, she finally reached the town.

This town is called Xiafeng Town, there are two streets in the horizontal and vertical directions, distributed in the shape of "well", every ten days on the morning of Monday, April and July, people from nearby villages will carry baskets and goods to buy and sell here, forming a bazaar. But now it's afternoon, the market has dispersed, there are only a few people on the street sweeping the vegetable leaves and rotten straw rope in front of their homes, the light rain has stopped, but the sky is still gloomy, from time to time there is a cold wind blowing, Zhou Xiaoliu, who feels colder than when he walks, shrunk his neck, but the back of his neck is still cold.

Although the scene in front of him is more depressed than in his memory, there are fewer plastic garbage bags flying in the sky, and Zhou Xiaoliu feels that it is still very clean and pleasing to the eye. A group of people stood in the wind and waited for nearly an hour before the long-distance bus slowly drove over.

The car has not stopped, Zhou Peng, who was led by Zhou's mother, shook off Zhou's mother's hand, and rushed over with an arrow, Zhou's mother was startled, there are not many cars in these years, and the speed is not fast, but she has heard of the car hitting people, she hurried forward and wanted to hold Zhou Peng again, but Zhou Peng had already drilled into the door that had just opened halfway.

As soon as Zhou Peng got on the bus, he stubbornly grabbed a seat and said that he must follow Zhou's father and Zhou's mother. Zhou's mother climbed into the car and pulled him a few times, and his hands grabbed tighter. Some of the other people in the car expressed understanding, some felt that it was delaying, and some people urged: "It's almost okay, hug it, it's important to hurry." ”

The driver threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said to Zhou's father: "It's your child, right? ”

Zhou's father rudely picked up Zhou Peng, Zhou Peng's hand slid open the seat, and when he passed the door, he grabbed the door frame and didn't let go. Zhou's father slapped it with a free hand, Zhou Peng was in pain, and as soon as his hand shrank, he was hugged out of the car, and he finally cried.

Zhou's mother began to shed tears when Zhou's father patted Zhou Peng's hand, but she didn't get out of the car again, and saw Zhou Peng, who was about to be thrown by Zhou's father through the car window, she couldn't help crying: "You scared him, don't slip your hand and really throw stones at him!"

Zhou Xiaoliu rubbed his eyes, when did this nasty sand blow into his eyes, and this wind blew his nose sour......

When she removed her hand to rub her eyes, she found that a stone was flying in front of her, it turned out that after Zhou's father heard Zhou's mother's words, his hand really slipped!

What an accurate head!

She didn't have time to dodge, and with an "ah" she was hit in the forehead......

Zhou Peng was shocked when he saw that Zhou Xiaoliu was hit by the stone thrown by Zhou's father, and forgot to cry for a while. Zhou's father took the opportunity to slip away, and the driver closed the door as soon as he got into the car and drove away.

Zhou Xiaoliu's eldest sister and second sister had a surprisingly smooth plan because of Zhou Peng's trouble, and her parents and grandfather didn't notice when these two big people got into the car.

Grandpa Zhou pulled Zhou Peng, who continued to cry after Zhou's father got into the car: "Your parents are going to earn money, get up, go back with me! Don't howl! Shut up!" At first, Grandpa Zhou still wanted to persuade him, but seeing Zhou Peng crying non-stop, he also became annoyed, and went up with a kick, and then directly dragged Zhou Peng's hand that was kicked down and dragged him to slide.

"Grandpa, my brother's clothes are torn!" Zhou Xiaoliu let go of the hand covering his forehead and said with a frown. As soon as her parents left, grandpa had this attitude, and it was estimated that the next days would not be much better, so she reached out and rubbed her forehead, fortunately, the stone was not big or sharp......

Grandpa Zhou glanced back at Zhou Xiaoliu, and then froze, five children, where did the eldest and second who were the most capable of work go?
