Chapter 218: A Little Long Vacation (5)
Under the blue sky, white clouds floated in the sky like cotton wool, and the air was filled with the fragrance of corn.
This season is the busiest time in the countryside, but also the most joyful time, because the autumn harvest is coming. The young and strong men of the village rushed back, whether they came back by themselves or were called back by the old man, the men were ready for the autumn harvest, after all, food was the most important thing in the eyes of the villagers.
In Gujia Village, there are only a few families who do not make a living from growing food. Cui's family is one of them, and Cui Jinxi is eating fragrant noodles at this time.
Mrs. Cui kept talking to her grandson, asking if the noodles were salty for a while, and asking if they were enough to eat, and the smile on the old lady's face never stopped.
Compared with the old lady's joyful expression, the old man Cui looked very calm, the old man drank the tea unhurriedly, but the white beard lowered the corners of his mouth, indicating that the old man was also very happy about the arrival of his grandson.
Cui Jinxi finished eating a large bowl of noodles and burped with satisfaction, and the original anxiety in his heart disappeared at this time. Cui Jinxi put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and looked at his grandmother with a smile: "Grandma, the noodles you made are delicious, I can eat them." ”
"You like to eat grandma will make it for you tomorrow, depending on how thin you are, whether you don't eat well, grandma has to make up for it when you go back." The old lady looked at Cui Jinxi's eyes full of joy, but no matter how thin her grandson's body looked, she didn't know if the child had food at home.
"Of course, the food cooked by my aunt at home is not as delicious as your grandmother's! Cui Jinxi said pitifully. In fact, Cui Jinxi doesn't eat much at home, his father is very busy with work and often doesn't go home, and her mother goes out shopping when she has time, and she won't cook a meal for him at all, so what the first meal at home tastes like, Cui Jinxi can't say clearly.
Old man Cui looked at his wife's happy appearance and sighed slightly in his heart. Looking at the slightly thin grandson, the old man still broke the joyful atmosphere and asked: "Jinxi, are you coming back for eleven? ”
When Cui Jinxi heard the old man's words, his face was pale, and he still said honestly: "Grandpa, I'm here for the festival, and it's not all." Ahem, grandpa, grandma, I'm going to say, don't be angry. ”
"What's the matter? Is your mother stopping you from coming to see me, an old woman?" The old lady's face changed suddenly, this grandson finally came to visit, even if it was to stay for a day or two, she was happy, but if the daughter-in-law stopped her, then she would have to talk to her son.
"No, no, my mother didn't stop me from coming, grandma, don't worry!" Cui Jinxi waved his hand and shook his head, everyone was a little panicked, although his mother was really unhappy that he came, but he still insisted on coming, and he also explained his father.
Cui Jinxi looked at the eager expressions of his grandparents, and then said: "Well, here's the thing, I don't plan to leave this time, of course, not only with your second elder, but also when the eleven is over, I won't leave." ”
"What do you mean? Why don't you plan to leave? You don't go to school? Tell me clearly, what's going on?" When the old lady heard her grandson's words, she was a little puzzled, although she was very happy to hear her grandson's words, but she still had to ask her grandson what he meant by this.
"Listen to me, I plan to stay by your second elder's side, my school status has been transferred, just go back to the exam when the college entrance examination comes, and I will live with your second elder in the future, grandparents won't drive me away, right?" Cui Jinxi wiped the sweat on his forehead, and he felt that his back was sweating.
"Did your father agree? Or did you make your own decisions!" asked Old Man Cui, glaring at Sun.
"Well, agreed. My dad said that you didn't want to go back, and it just so happened that I wanted to come again, so he agreed. Cui Jinxi looked at his grandfather's eyes and said with a smile.
"You kid, grandparents didn't say they wouldn't let you come, and your grandfather and I are still happy that you're here! But why do you want to transfer here to study? The conditions here are not good, how can you affect the college entrance examination when the time comes?" The old lady was even happier in her heart, but she was still more concerned about her grandson's studies.
"Grandma, I've thought about it, but I don't think it matters. Although the conditions here are not very good, there are still many students who are admitted to universities every year, which shows that the quality of education here is still good. Besides, I have confidence in myself, the college entrance examination will not be delayed, will you let me stay, okay?" Cui Jinxi said as he looked at his grandmother expectantly.
"Old man, what do you think of this matter?" The old lady was a hundred and a thousand willing, but she still turned her head to ask her wife's opinion, but there was no way, the old man did not agree, no matter how happy she was, she would not succeed.
"Jin Xi, you have also grown up, once this decision is decided, you have to be responsible for yourself!" Old man Cui didn't know what his wife was thinking, to be honest, he also wanted his grandson to be by his side, this person is getting older, and the time he spends with his grandchildren is becoming more and more rare.
"Grandpa, I understand, I made my own decision, no matter what the outcome, I will not regret it. Cui Jinxi nodded firmly, he didn't regret his decision at all. This place is much more interesting than the capital.
"Okay, you can keep it if you want. The old man glanced at his wife, and then looked at Cui Jinxi and said.
When the grandson went to the room, the old lady came to the old man's side and asked in a whisper, "Old man, why do you agree to stay with Xi Xi?" What should we do if the daughter-in-law complains?"
"Complaining, we are both people who have been in the soil for most of our bodies, and we still care what she thinks! The boss also agrees, that is, no matter how much she has ideas, she can't complain about you and me!" The old man snorted lightly, and his voice did not come down, and the volume seemed to be heard by Cui Jinxi.
"Alas, I'm not afraid of affecting their relationship as husband and wife!" said the old lady, sitting on the side, bowing her head and sighing softly.
"Don't think about it so much, go and see what is still missing in the Xixi House, and ask them to buy it when the boy goes to town. "The old man doesn't care so much, in short, the grandson stays, and the wife is happy.
Here, in the backyard of Mu's house, Mu Yingying closed the textbook, walked to her mother's room, and watched her mother sewing the quilt on the kang, she climbed on the kang lightly, and said with a smile: "Mom, I'll help you, two people can sew faster." ”
"No, no, you do your homework, and Mom will sew it in a while. Zhou Xing looked up at her daughter and moistened the needle in her hair, her daughter has been looking good recently, and she knew that she should have separated early.
"Mom, didn't I tell you before, Sisi said that she wanted to teach me to do handicrafts, we said that we would go to her house at half past five in the afternoon to learn, and learn from her for two hours every day, and when I learned, you don't have to be so tired. Mu Yingying looked at her mother's appearance of threading the needle, and then looked at the thick calluses on her mother's hands, and then talked about what she said before.
"Okay, you can study hard when you go. Sisi is a good one, she can earn this money by herself, but she gives it to the three of you, you can't live up to Sisi's kindness, and learning that is also a craft. Your grandmother's side, you don't have to care, you can go to school when the time comes, and your mother will support you at home. Zhou Xing nodded, and opened her mouth to mention the face to the girl.
Mu Yingying heard her mother's words, and nodded to indicate that she knew. She looked at the wrinkles in the corners of her mother's eyes and whispered something that had been hidden in her heart for a long time. "Mom, we've thought about this too. I was afraid that she wouldn't let me go to Sisi's house, but now I'm not afraid. Mom, I'm grown up, and I don't want to give up this opportunity. Mom, do you know, when I found out that Sisi earned my own tuition, I was so surprised! When Sisi said that she wanted to teach me how to do handicrafts, I was so excited. I want to study hard, learn well and earn money, and when the time comes, I will also pay my own tuition, not only mine, but also two people who are together every day, you don't have to work hard to plant vegetable seedlings for others, and your tired waist can't stand up. ”
"Yingying...... It's all mother's bad, how old are you......" Hearing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but wet her eyes, she never knew her daughter's inner thoughts, but this time when she heard her daughter's heart, she said that it was impossible not to touch it, and she was too useless, otherwise her daughter would not have been forced to grow up so fast, is this "The child of the poor is in charge early!"
"Mom, you are very good, you are the best mother in the world, and there is no one else who can compare to you. Mom, our family will definitely get better and better in the future. Mu Yingying looked at her mother wiping away her tears, and she couldn't help crying.
