Chapter 35: Absenteeism
If you don't go back tonight, you will miss school tomorrow. The first time I was absent from school, Xiaoxi's heart was very excited, helpless, uneasy, uncomfortable, restless, and a little excited, but in the end she suppressed it and returned to her normal heart. After all, he is an adult, he has to be steady, but Chen Yubin is more stable than himself. He didn't know that there was such a thing as absenteeism, and he probably forgot about going to school tomorrow, and he was sleeping in the house after dinner.
After eating, Xiaoxi and his parents set up stools in the corridor outside, eating fruits and enjoying the moon scenery and chatting, everything was very beautiful.
"How long do you have to work?" Chen's mother saw that Chen's father was repairing the house very quickly, so she asked about the progress.
Because at this time, there are usually two- or three-story small buildings in the county, so the buildings that can be repaired are only six stories high, and Chen's father and them have enough manpower, so the speed is very fast, "It's fast, and it will be enough for two or three months." ”
"Oh...... Can you pay your wages as soon as you finish your work?"
"Yes, can you still believe Brother Jiang, that's my brother. "Brother Jiang is the foreman of the contractor this time, and it is because of him, Father Chen's father believes in him, so he will return to the county to do this work.
"Knock...... "Something seems to have fallen to the ground, "Mom, what is the sound?"
"I'll take a look. "It's a lot of noise, it can't be a rat knocking something down, right?
"Haha......" Looking at the scene in front of her, Chen's mother's laughter came out before she had time to hide it.
Hearing the laughter, Xiaoxi was very curious, what was wrong, "Mom, what's wrong?" laughed so happily, in the middle of the night.
Chen's mother held back her laughter, fished her son out from under the bed, put it in the middle of the bed, covered it with a blanket, and went out with the corners of her mouth curled.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Seeing Chen's mother come out with a smile on her face, Xiaoxi was really curious.
"Poof, hahaha......"
Looking at the heartless mother who was smiling in front of her, Xiaoxi was speechless, what are you laughing at here?
Chen's mother, who had laughed enough, slowly suppressed her laughter and said slowly, "I thought it was a mouse that knocked something down, I went in and saw that there was nothing, everything was fine, and then I looked at the bed, Binbin was gone, but we were at the door, and his shoes were also in front of the bed, so I definitely didn't go out, so I looked for it in the house." And guess what? Poof, I found him under the bed, curled up in a ball, and slept soundly. Thinking of the piggy-like sleep when she found her son, Chen's mother couldn't help laughing again.
"Fell to the ground so loudly, he didn't wake up, and slept so soundly, I carried him back to the bed, he rolled over and fell asleep. ”
It turned out that this was the case, Chen's father and Xiaoxi also laughed, Xiaoxi decided to shame him tomorrow, and then couldn't help but curiously pull his shoes back to the house to see his brother's little pig. The moon and stars are scarce, the breeze is gentle, and the family of three upstairs is chatting together to enjoy the night view, which is also very warm and beautiful.
Sure enough, the next day I slept until I woke up naturally, the family packed up their things, went out to eat a bowl of rice noodles, and then Chen's mother took the two children home.
By the time I arrived at school, I was already halfway through the first class.
"Teacher Zhao. Chen's mother stood at the door of the classroom with her two children and called out to Teacher Zhao in the classroom.
Teacher Zhao listened, and when he saw that it was Xiaoxi, he walked out of the classroom and asked Chen's mother, "Guihua, why did they come to Xiaoxi?"
Chen's mother smiled embarrassedly and explained: "Teacher Zhao, I'm sorry, there is something going on in this family, I took my two children to the county seat yesterday, and I came back early today." ”
The village is not very strict, since the parents have said the reason, Teacher Zhao has nothing to say, and the two children are usually very obedient and studying, so he said to the two children gently: "Then go in class." ”
Chen's mother breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the two children into the classroom, "Come in, listen to the teacher, and go home after school in the afternoon." Then he smiled and said to Mr. Zhao, "Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry to disturb you, I'll go back first." ”
"Well, it's okay, you can go back first. ”
After class, Zhao Juan approached Xiaoxi and asked curiously, "Xiaoxi, did you really go to the county seat yesterday?"
"Well, yes. ”
"Ah...... Isn't it fun? I've never been there. I can't hide my envy.
"It's okay. "The creek really can't think of anything fun. In his previous life, he went to school and lived in the county for seven years, and he was familiar with Kaka Jiaojiao.
"Ah, yes. He took out the strawberries in his schoolbag and divided half of them into Xiaoxi, "This is called strawberries, sweet and sour, but delicious, I still have some delicious ones, we will go back to eat after school in the afternoon, ah!"
The red and bright strawberries are very attractive, Zhao Juan can't wait to pick one up and put it in her mouth, hmm...... Sour, sweet, delicious!
Xiaoxi was very funny when she saw Zhao Juan's enjoyment. took out the mint-flavored fruit candy in the schoolbag and gave one to each of the students in the class, and one more to the female students who were in good condition. There are more than 40 children in the class, so you have to give out more than 50 candies and spend some money.
Seeing that Mr. Zhao came in, he quickly grabbed a handful and put it on his desk. "Teacher Zhao, eat sugar. ”
After school in the afternoon, the four-person team set off and rushed home.
"Xiaoxi, is there anything else?" After eating the strawberries in his hand, they were very delicious, and he wanted to have some more, so Zhao Juan asked covetously.
"It's gone. "There wasn't much, but half of it was divided with her in the morning, and now it's gone with two for one person.
Seeing that she was very pitiful, Xiaoxi leaned into her ear and whispered, "There is still delicious food at home, which my father bought for me, and I will go back and eat it for you." ”
Zhao Juan pursed her lips, her eyes filled with a smile and nodded quickly, as if if she was slow, Xiaoxi would regret it.
After returning home and putting down her schoolbag, Xiaoxi found Chen's mother and asked her for a bag of melon seeds, a few loquats, and a few bags of spicy strips to go to Zhao Juan's house. When she saw Zhao Juan, Xiaoxi poured it to her, asked her to eat with her brother, and ran home without waiting for anything to be said.
After talking to Chen's mother, he took his schoolbag and pulled Chen Yubin to the new house. From Chen's mother, they came back, and the creeks moved back in.
Put your bag on a large table in the middle of the street, do your homework here, it's bright and cool.
At this time, the grandparents were not at home, so Xiaoxi beckoned his younger brother to hurry up and do his homework. Just halfway through, Granny Chen came back.
As soon as she went to the yard, Granny Chen saw her two grandsons sitting at the table doing their homework, and said happily, "Binbin Xiaoxi is back?
Chen Yubin raised his head and said cutely: "Well, mother-in-law, we are back, mother-in-law eats sugar." "I grabbed a handful of candy from my bag and gave it to my mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law pushed out, "I don't eat it, we dolls eat it." Chen Yubin happily withdrew his hand, although there was a room for himself, but the more the merrier. Granny Chen asked again, "Why are you doing your homework here?"
"Didn't grandpa say, let's come back and tell you about the fun in the county, we came over when we came back, but you guys weren't in the house. After speaking, he pretended to complain and glanced at his mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, where have you been?"
"I'll go around your second aunt. Because of the proximity, it is convenient for Granny Chen's visit.
"Where is Grandpa?" Seeing that Grandpa was not there, Xiaoxi asked again.
"Your grandfather went to herd cattle, where else can he go. ”
"Oh......" Xiaoxi bit down the tip of the pen, "Mother-in-law, then we will do our homework, and when grandpa comes back, we will tell you about the fun in the county." ”
"Well, you two should do your homework quickly, you can't afford to be beaten by Teacher Zhao. Granny Chen quipped, then got up and went to the vegetable garden.
When it was dark, Grandpa Chen drove the cattle back. Because the weather was getting hotter and hotter, as soon as Grandpa Chen entered the stove door, the creek brought a basin of hot water, and Chen Yubin took a towel to wipe his face.
After washing his face with hot water, the uncomfortable feeling of sweat went away all of a sudden, poured the water into the footbath, ready to soak his feet, Chen Yubin took the slippers on the side and put them next to the footbath, and put Grandpa Chen's yellow rubber shoes at the entrance of the stove room.
said that the stove room is very large, Grandpa Chen, they all put their shoes at the door of the stove room, wash their feet and change slippers at night, and go out in the morning to change shoes.
I put my sweaty feet in the hot water, and my whole body was suddenly comfortable. Grandpa Chen put a handkerchief (a towel for wiping water on his feet) on one leg, leaned forward slightly, propped his hands on his knees, and rubbed his left and right feet against each other.
"Binbin, what did you do in the county seat yesterday? What's so fun?"
Because we had dinner together tonight, Chen's mother bought two catties of fresh meat when she came back and ate dry rice tonight. The mother-in-law is cooking the pot, and the mother is in charge of the stove (that is, the things on the stove that belong to cooking rice and stir-frying belong to Chen's mother).
"Well, it's fun. The county town is so big, and there are buildings everywhere, and they are all brick houses, unlike our mud-walled houses. As he spoke, he opened his arms and gestured with a big meaning, "There are a lot of delicious things, including strawberries, nectarines, and loquats, which are different from our loquats." ”
Chen Yubin rummaged through the plastic bag on the table and picked up a strawberry, "Grandpa, look, this is a strawberry, sweet and sour, but delicious." He took the loquat again, "Grandpa, this is the loquat, you see, is it bigger than the loquat we have here, this one is also delicious." ”
"Dad took us to the restaurant to eat, and there was a meal called salt, salt or something?"
"Salt fried meat. Creek reminded.
"Yes, salt fried meat, it's delicious. ”
"There is also a kind called cherry tomatoes, which are small, sweet and sour and delicious, but unfortunately I only ate one. I also cutely circled it with my thumb and forefinger.
"Well, Dad, the building they live in is very high, more than 100 floors, and I don't dare to look down from above. "Xiaoxi Fu forehead, have you counted? casually it is more than a hundred layers, such an exaggeration.
"And the Big Apple, so big. Chen Yubin used his two hands to compare an apple bigger than his face, "It's crunchy, it's sweet, it's sweeter than all the apples I've eaten before." ”
"There are a lot of people in the county, and I almost can't get out. ”
