Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Warm Home
At half past nine o'clock in the evening of June 5, Zhang Xiaoyao, who returned to school, went directly back to the dormitory to sleep, and when he returned to the dormitory, he saw several roommates in the dormitory again.
Early the next morning, on the way to the classroom for self-study, Zhang Xiaoyao also met a lot of classmates who recognized him, it seems that many of the students can still watch TV, watch news and newspapers on the weekend, Zhang Xiaoyao was hugged by the classmates for a while, signed autographs, and took a group photo before returning to the classroom to study on the spot.
After the morning self-study, the head teacher Yang Yang stopped Zhang Xiaoyao and said seriously: "Zhang Xiaoyao, you are in the limelight, you have become a celebrity, and you will make up a reason for me to ask for leave, you have good skills, but don't forget that you are still a student, and you can't go down studying." ”
Zhang Xiaoyao was also ashamed to lower his head and did not speak, he knew that what the head teacher said was reasonable, and he made up a reason to ask for leave, not to mention that he was a student, the most important thing is to study well, and he could not be blinded by fame and flowers, and then Zhang Xiaoyao decided to finish his remaining course arrangements as soon as possible, and the time was becoming more and more insufficient.
Zhang Xiaoyao went to the duty room at the door by the way, and sure enough, there were a few letters of his own, including a few good buddies in junior high school, cousin Liu Qian and Xu Wenjing, Zhang Xiaoyao returned to the classroom and quietly opened the letters, and then read them carefully.
Several good buddies in the letter also knew about their participation in the boxing match, several of them were excited, enthusiastic content, several people in the letter were full of pride in themselves, and agreed to get together on the weekend, the cousin's letter was still so warm and caring and didn't see that she knew about her boxing match, Zhang Xiaoyao was a little relieved, not worried that the cousin would tell her aunt and parents when she came home.
But Xu Wenjing's letter made Zhang Xiaoyao restless, only to see Xu Wenjing's letter wrote: "Master Zhang, I should call you that! You can, you can bear it, you can't study hard to participate in the Southeast Asian World Fighting Championship, what about our agreement? Immediately take the final exam, if you let me know that your academic performance has regressed or you have not made great progress, you just wait and see, I have the potential of a witch, hum... And when you get off the plane, does the beautiful woman kiss you, does it feel very sweet? Isn't it very beautiful in your heart, mature and plump big beauty, do you want to hug left and right every day? But you can try, although I am not with you, but I have eyeliner, you pay attention, you know the consequences, in the end, don't say much, the final exam depends on your performance. ”
After reading Xu Wenjing's letter, even Zhang Xiaoyao, who is no longer enlightened, knows that Xu Wenjing is jealous, and the jealous beauty kisses him in front of everyone, Zhang Xiaoyao's heart is warm, and he gives himself an encouraging smile, and then quickly replies to Xu Wenjing, in which he swears to complete the task, and decides to go to the Tianzhong antique market to buy a gift for Xu Wenjing, hoping that Xu Wenjing can be happy, and also wrote a reply to his good buddy and cousin.
On the afternoon of June 6, the school was on vacation, because this year's senior high school students are going to take the college entrance examination on June 7 and June 8, and the city high school is also the college entrance examination center, and the college entrance examination is still a little far away for Zhang Xiaoyao, who is still in the first year of high school, which is the most important day for the students who are about to graduate from high school in three years, but Li Qing in the third year of high school will also participate in the college entrance examination.
Zhang Xiaoyao took the city bus directly to the Tianzhong antique market, Zhang Xiaoyao participated in this fighting tournament but got a total of 700,000 bonuses and a boxing champion gold belt, plus the remaining 50,000 yuan in his original hand, a total of 750,000 cash, so much money in the rural hometown is also considered a local tyrant, but for the current Zhang Xiaoyao does not know how to spend it.
Zhang Xiaoyao came to the Tianzhong antique market again, this time Zhang Xiaoyao learned a fine, wore a pair of sunglasses, walked through the stalls and shops, and also found the last stall Lao Ding and Lao Zuo, they were as always when they saw a passer-by boasting about their ancestral good things, Zhang Xiaoyao passed by their stall and did not stop, and came directly to the stubborn stone jade shop where he bought jade last time.
It was still the shopkeeper's grandfather alone, a pot of tea, Zhang Xiaoyao took off his sunglasses and first said hello to the shopkeeper, and then sat directly on the original chair, the shopkeeper still made a cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Xiaoyao, Zhang Xiaoyao got up to look at the jade piece after a few sips of tea.
The original stone area left the original stone with aura last time is still there, Zhang Xiaoyao picked it up and put it in the original position, the shopkeeper next to him added a few new rough stones, Zhang Xiaoyao tested the original stone and jade pieces one by one, only selected a rough stone with aura, and left the one last time it was still not selected this time, and then selected three jade pieces with a trace of aura among the hundred and ten finished jade pieces, which happened to be two jade Buddhas and a jade Guanyin.
Zhang Xiaoyao took the selected things and took the counter to settle the account, Zhang Xiaoyao took out a total of 20,000, this time the shopkeeper only left Zhang Xiaoyao 20,000 yuan, and returned Zhang Xiaoyao 1,000 yuan, which is also a discount from the shopkeeper to old customers.
After Zhang Xiaoyao bought the things, he thought about whether he could cooperate with the shopkeeper to buy more aura rough stones, so Zhang Xiaoyao directly explained his intentions to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper also agreed that he could take Zhang Xiaoyao with him when he bought the goods next time, Zhang Xiaoyao left his phone number and thanked the shopkeeper and left.
But after leaving, Zhang Xiaoyao didn't see the next scene, and the shopkeeper and grandfather, who had been sitting there drinking tea, walked directly to the place where he looked twice and picked up the last piece of aura rough stone left.
I saw him pick up the original stone and say to himself: "Could he really see it? There was a piece like this last time, and the one selected this time is still like this, could it be a secret disciple of a certain master? Or is it interesting, it's really a little interesting, the authentic Tianji lineage has long since declined and is not visible to the world, I hope that next time I see this young man, I can surprise me!"
After speaking, the shopkeeper and grandfather put the rough stone in its original position again, and continued to sit in front of the counter to make tea and drink tea alone.
Zhang Xiaoyao, who left the antique market, went to the bank, and ran a bank card of 200,000 yuan alone, and then got on the country bus home, and he didn't go home for more than a month.
At the crossroads of the east three miles of Nigang Village, Zhang Xiaoyao, who got off the bus, carried the jade pieces he bought for his parents, and warmly greeted the acquaintances at the door of the supermarket at the intersection, and then Zhang Xiaoyao walked on the way home.
Coincidentally, Zhang Xiaoyao happened to meet people from the same village driving a tractor to pull the freshly harvested wheat home, Zhang Xiaoyao took the sudden tractor home, on the tractor Zhang Xiaoyao looked at the smiling face of Uncle Wang in the village and a cart full of wheat, and knew that this year's wheat harvest was not bad.
I basically have never done farm work, thinking of the days when my parents faced the loess with their backs to the sky, the sweat of hard work under the scorching sun, and the complaints of drought and waterlogging, Zhang Xiaoyao deeply realized that it was not easy for farmers, and he had to work hard to do something for his aging parents, no longer let them work so hard, even if they could share their hardships and tiredness a little more, they just wanted to strive for a better life, and use their calloused hands to contribute more of their strength to this family.
When he returned home, Zhang Xiaoyao saw the tractor parked outside the gate, the wheat spread out all over the yard, and the smiling parents.
Tears flowed down her cheeks in an instant......
A tall dad when he was young
A cigarette is always held in the mouth
Carry yourself on your shoulders and tell jokes
Holding your little hand to warm the rain
Black, shiny, hard stubble
Piercing his fleshy cheeks
Mom used to make shoes and gowns
Nagging and worrying at home and abroad
Half a lifetime of firewood, rice and salt
And now look at the hard-working parents
The face was full of wrinkles and half a head of white hair
The youth of time has passed
Winter and summer after winter
Half a lifetime of pay and price
Guarding this warm home
When is the midnight epiphany blooming?
The flower of the soul that never withers
I beg that the years will not grow old again
The child has grown up slowly
I haven't had time to be a parent yet
Go weave that beautiful fairy tale
How many dreams are fluttering in the clouds
Looking back, I was afraid to answer
No matter where you are at hand and at the end of the world
That affectionate love was given to my parents first
I beg that the years will not grow old again
Hurry home with peace and health
Zhang Xiaoyao hurriedly ran back to his room, afraid that his parents would see him crying, so he originally decided to give the jade piece he had just bought to his parents, but he hesitated at this time, so he was going to wrap a jade Guanyin and a jade Buddha and put them in his parents' room.
The layout of my parents' room is also very simple, a large mahogany bed of more than ten years is placed against the north wall, a somewhat shabby large mahogany table, there is only a 12-inch second-hand black and white TV on the table, a mahogany storage box and two wooden wardrobes are next to the table next to the TV set in a row against the east wall, Zhang Xiaoyao opened the drawer and put the bank card and jade pieces into the table drawer, wiped the tears on his face before going out.
After the sun set, Zhang Xiaoyao actively helped his father collect the dried wheat into a bag, and was busy for more than an hour, his mother had already cooked the meal, I don't know if it was the reason why he came back today, his mother stewed a big pot of chicken, Zhang Xiaoyao deliberately looked into the chicken coop, and the only big rooster was gone.
At dinner time, the family of three sat at the wooden table in the hall to eat together, and the mother scooped up the chicken into her bowl spoon by spoon, and said: "School is hard, you can't eat good things in school, and the food is not nutritious, so you should eat more meat when you grow your body and grow tall." ”
After listening to his mother's words, Zhang Xiaoyao took the initiative to explain to his parents about his participation in the fighting competition.
Although my parents didn't blame themselves clearly, I still heard my father say: "I often watch martial arts style on the ring TV, that one by one is as strong as an ox, you are still a student, not yet an adult, adults boxing in the ring are all practitioners, just your physical fitness, take care of yourself, the last time you were injured, don't participate in those competitions in the future, we just want you to study hard and grow up safe, healthy and healthy." ”
Zhang Xiaoyao hurriedly told his parents about the jade pieces he bought, and asked the two of them to bring the prize money that could support people, take care of their bodies, and the prize money for participating in the ring competition, and let their parents withdraw some money to buy more things and daily necessities needed at home.
Mom and Dad continued: "We haven't earned so much money for half our lives, and our family doesn't lack anything, we have food and vegetable fields, and the money is saved for you to use when you grow up and marry your daughter-in-law." ”
After dinner, Zhang Xiaoyao wanted to help his mother wash the dishes and chopsticks, but his mother strongly refused, so Zhang Xiaoyao had to take a shower and go back to his room to sleep.
On the 7th and 8th, Zhang Xiaoyao has been following his parents to harvest wheat, spread wheat, and dry wheat.
Zhang Xiaoyao has experienced more of his parents' hard work in the past two days at home, Zhang Xiaoyao only hates that he grows too slowly, and can't share all the pressure of his parents, Zhang Xiaoyao is determined to solve the mystery of the chaotic yin and yang beads in the shortest possible time, hoping to do something for his parents, Zhang Xiaoyao returned to school on the afternoon of the 8th.
