Students in the third year of high school do not have winter and summer vacations, and Da Yan and Er Ling are no exception, and they have to go back to school to make up classes after living at home for two days. In fact, the students in the third year of junior high school also have to make up classes, and the second brother is the teacher thinks that he doesn't need to make up, but the second sister would rather help the second aunt turn the potato vine in the sun at home than go to school. In her words, she can't pass the exam anyway, so it's better to save a hundred yuan in make-up fees. The second aunt scolded a few words with hatred, and then let it go, jealously watching the uncle and aunt send their son to the countryside to take a car, and painfully took out a ticket of two or five yuan to give the two nephews tea money, as if the dirtiness of the night before had never happened.

Li Jiaming and the younger sister arrived early, so the eldest sister who had not yet dissipated scolded the 'white-eyed wolf' twice, but still went to the uncle's house honestly, and in front of the aunt, took out two neat old tickets for five yuan to the two brothers. It's really reluctant, ten yuan is enough to buy more than 30 eggs to increase the nutrition of the little sister, enough to buy toothbrushes and toothpaste for the family.

"Auntie, yes (Dad) has gone up the mountain, this is the tea money for the eldest brother and second brother. ”

Li Jiaming, who was a little reluctant, stuffed the money to the eldest brother and second brother painfully, and turned his head to confirm with the eldest aunt: "Auntie, you see, I gave the money to the eldest brother and the second brother, and I didn't buy candy to eat." ”

The aunt, who got ten yuan and was tanned by the sun, touched the brains of Li Jiaming's brothers and sisters in a rare and kind way, and encouraged: "Ming Yan and Wen Mei should also study hard, and in the future, they will study in high school and college like the eldest brother and second brother!"

The younger sister was very frightened of the eldest aunt, shrunk her neck when she touched her head, and pulled her brother's trouser legs and lowered her head. The full sister who came with Li Jiaming was different from the little sister, she was always bold and eager to be praised and encouraged by adults, she raised her head and looked at the aunt expectantly, but the aunt didn't bother to touch her head.

Li Jiaming saw that his little cousin was a little unhappy, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed her little head, circled her in front of him, and said with a smile: "Well, I and Sister Man and Sister Wen must learn from the eldest brother and second brother, and we will also be admitted to university in the future." ”

The big guy with the bag pursed the corners of his mouth, showed a disdainful smile, and encouraged him: "Ming Yan is sensible, study hard!"

The second aunt, who entered the door with two five-yuan tickets, said hello to the aunt first, stuffed the money to the two nephews, and said politely: "Da Yan, Second Yan, study hard, this is the tea money given by the aunt, it is not too little." ”

The second aunt's money, Da Yan and the second aunt pushed it before taking it, unlike when Li Jiaming gave it, he took it so neatly, and said politely: "Thank you Second Aunt." ”

The second aunt had just finished giving the money, and the fourth aunt also came, and she was more particular about the money, and according to the custom, she tied a small red paper in the middle of the five-yuan ticket to show good luck. Everyone said a few kind words, and the aunt who received the tea money from the three families urged the two sons to go out.

"It's not early, and I have to go to the countryside to catch the bus. Second sister-in-law, second sister going to school? Just go with her eldest brother and second brother, so that she can save herself from taking things. ”

This is really heartwarming, the day before yesterday Sanyan also said that he would not go to school next week to make up classes, but the aunt asked the second sister if she would go to school today.

"Hey, don't talk about it, it makes people angry when you talk about it, that money-losing goods said that they couldn't pass the exam anyway, so they just saved me a few hundred yuan in make-up fees. ”

How many hundred fees are paid for students in the third year of junior high school? Isn't it a hundred?

The second aunt stabbed, but didn't give the eldest aunt a chance to fight back, and immediately changed the topic: "Ming Yan, take my sister and aunt to turn over the potato vines in the morning." ”

"Oh"

"It's still sensible and conscientious, if you don't obey Sister Man, see how I clean you up. Sister-in-law, I'll go first, it's rare for the second sister to take the initiative to do things, I'll go to the mountain to have a look. ”

The second aunt left, and the fourth aunt said two words of encouragement, and also walked away. was disgusted by the second aunt and fell to the eldest aunt, and when the fourth aunt walked away, she took a sip and told the two sons, "Eldest and second aunts, study hard, use the money when it should be used, and save ...... if it is not used." ”

After telling for a while, it's really not too early, and the eldest brother and second brother still have to walk seven or eight miles to take the car. The fourth brother, who has never been very talkative, pulled his mother's sleeve, and the eldest aunt took care of the schoolbag and shoulder bag for the two sons, and sighed: "Hey, it would be nice for you both to be like your family." ”

The previous words sound really warm, but it's a pity that such a sentence came at the end of the aunt, which made the atmosphere disappear at once, at least Li Jiaming thinks so.

Li Jiaming took his two younger sisters, accompanied his aunt, third brother, and fourth brother, and sent the two cousins to the entrance of the village, and then followed the adults and walked back. Suddenly seeing the old willow trees on the side of the road and the Lingxiao flowers blooming on the trees, Li Jiaming couldn't help but move in his heart, spit in his hands and began to climb the tree.

Seeing that her brother was about to climb the tree again, the little sister panicked, ran to the old willow tree and pulled his sleeve, crying: "Brother, don't go up, don't go up!"

As soon as the little sister cried, the aunt looked back, pulled a small bamboo tip on the fence from the side of the road, ran over and roared angrily: "Mingya, you still dare to climb, see if I don't break your feet!"

The aunt was angry, Li Jiaming hurriedly let go and jumped down, standing next to him and laughing, "Auntie, this tree is short, and it can't fall into people." ”

The aunt raised the small bamboo tip, but in the end it didn't fall on Li Jiaming, and scolded: "It's not good to be short!"

"I'll pick a few flowers and weave a wreath for my sister to play with. ”

"That's not going to work, what kind of flowers does the little girl wear?

If it doesn't work, I won't come back by myself later?" Li Jiaming smiled, took the man sister who was frightened by the aunt, and the little sister with tears on her face, and went home under the supervision of the aunt. After the aunt walked for a while, it was estimated that she had returned home, and Li Jiaming took the two little ones back to the village.

What Li Jiaming didn't expect was that the fourth brother, who usually doesn't like to talk, had already picked a large handful of Lingxiao flowers and a few wickers, and was sitting under the old willow tree and waiting.

"Fourth brother, thank you fourth brother", Li Jiaming stiffened his head and said a word of thanks. This cousin, who is two years older than himself, is a monster, and he will become a big monster in the future. Mortals can worship the Bodhisattva, but to thank the monster, they feel awkward.

"Well, Sister Man, Sister Wen come here", the fourth brother snorted, with a rare smile on his face, and compared the little heads of the two with Li Jiaming, and made two small garlands.

"Is it pretty?"

"Beautiful!"

The two little ones looked at the small garland on each other's heads, smiled happily, held hands and ran back to the village to show off to their friends.

"Go back", the fourth brother, who rarely said two words, actually touched Li Jiaming's head and put his hand on his shoulder, which really flattered him.

…………

Li Jiaming, who coaxed his two younger sisters to be happy, returned to his house and began to wash rice, wash shredded potatoes and prepare for cooking. In the past few days, I have eaten at the second uncle's house, that is, my father wants to help the fourth uncle cut down trees and level the foundation, and after helping, he will go back to his house for dinner.

Cooking rice in the countryside is different from that in the city, where the rice must first be boiled into rice soup and then steamed in a wooden rice retort, which has the advantage that the rice soup can feed the pigs.

When Li Jiaming boiled the water, washed the rice, washed the shredded potatoes, and was about to put the rice in the pot, a question suddenly came to mind. Why do you want rice soup because his family doesn't raise pigs? In his impression, it seems that there are a lot of vitamins in the rice soup, and this is not a waste in vain? But seeing the swill bucket that his second aunt put next to the stove, Li Jiaming suddenly realized that he continued to put the washed rice in the pot and cover the pot.

After doing these things, Li Jiaming hurriedly went out, and saw that the little sister and the full sister were playing with a few little girls cooking (playing at home) under one roof, and the little garland was also worn on the other little nods, so he smiled with satisfaction. My guidance to Xiaomei in the past two days has been very effective, and she knows that she has taken the initiative to share things with others. Hehe, people who know how to share with others will not be popular anywhere.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh! After a fall, why do I look at you more and more unpleasantly?"

Li Jiaming didn't need to look back, he knew that the person who scolded him was the eldest sister, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, didn't I just send tea money to the eldest brother and second brother, and yes yes (father) asked me to go, do I dare not go? Besides, the second aunt also took it." ”

"Hmph, she's just a stupid one! Those two who have no conscience are so useful to them! Three, let's go, go back to cook, I have to wait for the third uncle to come back to cook, and I will starve you to death!"

The eldest sister with a beautiful face was sweating profusely, although she swallowed back the word 'aunt', it also made Li Jiaming a little resentful. When my mother was alive, she was really good for her eldest brother and second brother, but after she passed away, those two people who had no conscience made fun of her little sister as a broom star, and they didn't remember her kindness at all.

"Hey, hey, I put all the rice in the pot, and I'm waiting for my eldest sister to teach me how to steam rice. Eldest sister, it's almost time to eat, why are you still carrying an empty back?"

"You want to care?"

'Hey, hey, hey', Li Jiaming laughed with him, and followed the eldest sister who had just come back from picking pigweed and went back to his kitchen. Among several cousins and cousins, Li Jiaming was closest to the eldest sister when he was a child, and he was beaten and scolded by her the most. If the second sister and the third sister scolded Li Jiaming, he would be able to hold a grudge for a month, but the eldest sister knocked a few times on his head and twisted his ears a few times, and forgot it overnight. As for the four cousins who can read, they are just acquaintances of the same father-in-law.

Back in their own kitchen, the two siblings finished choosing the dishes, and when the rice was half-cooked, the eldest sister quickly scooped it up and strained it through a sieve, and put the half-cooked rice and shredded potatoes into a wooden rice retort to steam.

"Mingya, the fourth uncle always said that you are sensible and asked you a question. ”

The eldest sister's question is not necessarily a good question, Li Jiaming hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, I will only be in the fifth grade in the second half of the year, how can I know what you don't know?"

"I know, I'm just asking. ”

"Oh"

"You said that Da Yan and Er Yan, can you be admitted to college next year?"

It seems that the words of the aunt the night before really hurt the eldest sister.
