On February 7, the first day of the Lunar New Year, because of the New Year's holiday, the Xu family rose up and down a little later than usual on this day. No matter how late the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info can get up, it is only more than an hour later than the usual weekend. After getting up, I simply freshened up, put on a new set of clothes, and went straight to the main building to kowtow to the elders in the family to greet the New Year, which is a rule handed down by the Xu family for ten years.

Breakfast is also a very traditional rice ball and rice cake, but in addition to black sesame seeds, there is also a filling of shepherd's cabbage and meat foam left over from the New Year. Although Zhao Qingru doesn't like to eat glutinous rice dumplings very much, she has a soft spot for sesame filling. The round rice balls have a lot of thin skin and filling, and when you bite into it, the black sesame filling immediately flows out, and suddenly the mouth is full of sesame seeds, how sweet and delicious.

Even if decades later, Zhao Qingru, who has gray temples, is lying leisurely on the rocking chair, and the older generation of the Xu family has already driven west, and this bowl of sesame-stuffed dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year in seven or eight years still makes Zhao Qingru unforgettable. In fact, it is the most ordinary glutinous rice and sesame filling, with sugar and a little lard, and the delicacy in the memory is unforgettable.

After breakfast, Zhao Qingru answered the phone from far away in the compound of the Yanjing Military Region. Although I didn't go back to Yanjing again this year to celebrate the New Year with my grandparents, I still have to pay my respects. It's also fashionable to call New Year's greetings.

The phone was quickly connected, and before Zhao Qingru could speak, there was a voice from the other end that made Zhao Qingru listen to the voice of a very familiar but unfamiliar woman, a little impolite.

"Hey, who's that?"

Zhao Qingru was stunned for a moment, and didn't come back to her senses for a while.

"Please ask Song Yujun to answer the phone. Zhao Qingru instinctively spoke Beijing-flavored Yanjing Mandarin on the other end of the phone, and Song Yujun was not someone else, it was the old lady of the Zhao family, Zhao Qingru's grandmother.

"Song Yujun, there is no such person!" The phone was hung up directly. Because of this, Zhao Qingru had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of which brother was the one who answered the phone just now. It seems that the flower has already lived in the Zhao family at this time.

On the other end of the phone, the Zhao family in Yanjing, the person who hung up Zhao Qingru's phone really let Zhao Qingru guess correctly, it was Zhao Xiaohua.

Zhao Xiaohua has been living in the Zhao family with her grandfather in the compound for a while, and the people around her speak Yanjing Mandarin with a Beijing flavor. For Zhao Xiaohua, who has a strong Sichuan flavor in one mouth and even has a Jiangnan accent, although she can understand it, she can say that it is not so easy to adjust in a short period of time.

What's more, during these days, Zhao Xiaohua, who has officially changed her name to "Zhao Qingru", needs to be entangled not only with the problem of not being able to speak Yanjing dialect. After the Lantern Festival, it is the day when the university officially opens. Zhao Xiaohua, who is already a prospective college student, should report to the English Department of Yanjing Foreign Chinese College in a few days.

English, Zhao Xiaohua He has studied hard. Even if I had learned it in junior high school, the twenty-six letters would have been returned to the teacher long ago.

Zhao Xiaohua naturally remembers clearly how she got this university place in the first place. Being able to go to college is also Zhao Xiaohua's wish, because only by going to college can you become a master. But if you can take the opportunity to trample on the guy who always looks like she is on top, and has always been jealous of her and doesn't like her, Zhao Qingru is still very happy.

What if she got in? It's not that she obediently failed according to her wishes.

It's just that Zhao Xiaohua didn't expect that the guy who was born to be Ke himself actually applied for the Yenching Foreign Chinese College, and was admitted to the English Department very badly. Zhao Xiaohua didn't think about changing her major, even Lao Maozi's Russian in the north is stronger than English. On the contrary, I am not allowed to change my major, let alone change schools.

Of course, Zhao Xiaohua would not know that the reason why this is the case, in addition to the dark box operation by someone, the most important thing is that the full score of English is the only perfect score in the entire Fengyao County. Even in the entire Eastern European province, the full score of the English test is counted on two hands, and there are only a very limited number of people.

How is it possible for such a talent not to be admitted to a professional language school.

Zhao Xiaohua's grievances in her heart can be imagined, in order not to show her stuffing, she had to work hard to make up English, and strive to fill this obvious loophole after officially registering. But this English can not be done in just over a month, especially in the absence of professional guidance and the language environment, if you want to open your mouth and speak fluent English, it is simply a fool's dream.

No, as time goes by, the anxiety in Zhao Xiaohua's heart is getting better day by day. However, in this case, Zhao Qingru called back to greet her grandparents for the New Year, and her mouth was full of Yanjing Mandarin. Zhao Xiaohua didn't jump up immediately, her firepower was open, but in fact, her temper had really converged a lot.

"Whose phone is it?" Mrs. Zhao, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the phone ringing, and only came out of the kitchen when she saw Zhao Xiaohua hang up the phone.

Mrs. Zhao didn't have much affection for her old man's distant brother of the same clan. Mrs. Zhao, who has been walking hand in hand for decades, naturally knows about what happened back then. Mrs. Zhao always felt that her old man was conniving at this distant brother of the same clan everywhere because of guilt, and something would happen sooner or later.

Originally, this barbarian bandit had been bullied, so could it be that people would not be able to resist? But anyone who has a little bit of blood, regardless of men, women, and children, should take up arms and come out to resist. What's more, just for the little devils and the two devils to burn and loot all kinds of evil, even if there is no old man from his own family to join the army to kill the devil, and he is not betrayed by the two devils and traitors, the Zhao family may not be safe.

Dare to love the death and injury of tens of millions of people in the entire Hua/Xia, is it all fake?

In fact, Old Man Zhao's distant brother of the same clan, but if his conduct is better, Mrs. Zhao will not have such a big opinion. Before, it was not easy to send the family back to their hometown, but in that catastrophe, a white-haired person sent a black-haired person. This made Old Man Zhao feel more and more guilty.

Now that this little brother and the only remaining granddaughter are invited to live at home, Mrs. Zhao can only turn a blind eye and only do a good deed every day. However, for the little girl who took a name exactly the same as the granddaughter of her own family, Mrs. Zhao was not so comfortable.

Even though this little girl is very well-behaved and obedient in front of Mrs. Zhao, and her little appearance is a little similar to her grandson, Mrs. Zhao always feels a little strange in her heart.

"Grandma, I made the wrong call. When Zhao Xiaohua saw Mrs. Zhao, she immediately stood up from the sofa and wanted to step forward to help Mrs. Zhao, but was avoided without a trace.

"Wrong call?!" Who's got a phone at this time, that's pretty rare. Ordinary people basically don't see the phone at home, and if they want to make a call, they have to queue up at the post and telecommunications office. Even in the compound, where the telephone penetration rate is slightly higher, cadres at or above the division level have to pick up an extension at home. The call was made to the headquarters first, and then to the home through the operator.

The most important point is that today is the first day of the new year, and the children who can't go home for the New Year together and those old subordinates call to pay New Year's greetings, not once or twice. So if you make the wrong call or something, the probability is basically equal to zero.

"Yes, yes...... On the other side of the phone, he said to look for Song Yujun to answer the phone...... "Under the gaze of Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Xiaohua felt a little weak for no reason.

"I am Song Yujun. When Mrs. Zhao saw that Zhao Xiaohua looked like an oppressed little / daughter-in-law / woman who was bullied by a vicious mother-in-law, she was not angry. made this appearance every day, as if his family had mistreated her. Why did she behave like this, in fact, Mrs. Zhao didn't have to think about it at all, she could guess a few points. It's just that for the sake of the little girl, who is still well-behaved and obedient, she is too lazy to bother with this little girl.

"Ah...... Grandma, I, I don't know...... Really, really not on purpose......"

"Okay!" Old Lady Zhao directly interrupted Zhao Xiaohua to continue, and the voice fell, and the phone rang again. This time, Mrs. Zhao didn't give Zhao Xiaohua any more chances, but directly picked up the phone herself.

"Hello, this is the Zhao family. ”

"Grandma, Happy New Year~ I am your most beloved little baby~" On the other end of the phone, Zhao Qingru's brisk voice came, of course, it was still Yanjing Mandarin full of Beijing flavor. Because Zhao Qingru wasn't sure if a certain flower was eavesdropping on the phone. Just in case, Zhao Qingru not only changed her accent, but also came up with a very embarrassing nickname.

"Okay, Happy New Year. Grandma/little baby. After hearing the call from her precious granddaughter, Mrs. Zhao, who had a serious expression, immediately smiled.

"Grandma, there's no one else around you. Where's Grandpa?"

"Nope. You/Grandpa are still boxing in the backyard. Mrs. Zhao raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Xiaohua, who was standing aside, and saw that she obediently returned to the room, and smiled with satisfaction, "Ru'er, you girl, why did you still go back to Beijing this year? ”

"Hehe, I'm not accompanying my grandparents. ”

"Hmph, it seems that you have no conscience, you only need your grandparents and grandparents, not grandparents?"

"How can you. Grandma, I plan to retake the college entrance examination in July and apply to the university in Yenching. At that time, in addition to going to school, I will accompany you and grandpa every day. So...... Now, of course, I have to spend more time with my grandparents. ”

"Little baby, you can't coax grandma. ”

"No, no, no. But grandma, can you keep this a secret first? ”

"Confidentiality?"

"Yes, keep it confidential. surprise, when the time comes, it will be a big surprise. So grandma begs you not to tell anyone, okay, especially the guy who just answered the phone. ”

"Just ......" Mrs. Zhao squinted slightly, and after being silent for a moment, she agreed to her precious granddaughter's request.

"Grandma, there's something I've always wanted to tell you, but I can't say a word on the phone. ”

"What's the matter that you can't tell? Just talk slowly on the phone, it's not clear on the phone, just wait for you to go back to Yanjing and say it in person." ”

Mrs. Zhao said that she hadn't seen her grandson and granddaughter for many years. Although there are occasional phone calls and letters, it is a little far away and not very convenient. At this time, listening to her precious granddaughter say this on the phone, Mrs. Zhao directly thought that after the resumption of the college entrance examination last year, her eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter seemed to participate. The eldest grandson was successfully admitted to the military school, but the eldest granddaughter failed the list. Although he returned to the city smoothly, he insisted on staying at his in-laws' house.

However, in Mrs. Zhao's opinion, it is actually normal for her granddaughter to fall off the list. After all, I just graduated from junior high school the year before, and I wasn't even allowed to go to high school after that, so I went directly to the countryside to become an educated youth in a poor rural area like Shenjiawa Village.

It's all said that it's a big deal, but it's not wrong at all!

The eldest grandson of the baby in front was sent by his own boss to be a young man, and he didn't know until a long time. At that time, there was no way, and my freedom was restricted. After that, the baby granddaughter was sent to the poor ravines and ravines to be educated youths. In this matter, his eldest daughter-in-law clearly said that she had arranged to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, and she explained it ambiguously in the back, saying that she would go back to Yanjing to explain in person.

I have been looking forward to it, but I am looking forward to the New Year, but no one has returned to Yanjing for the New Year this year, whether it is a son or daughter-in-law, or grandchildren.

It's not that I'm afraid to explain this.

Rao is heart is as wide as Mrs. Zhao, and there is no way to be smooth in her heart. It's just that now after receiving a call from my baby granddaughter, my mood is a lot smoother.

"En, I'll go back to Yanjing after I finish the college entrance examination!"

"Okay, grandma waits......" Mrs. Zhao saw that her old man was walking into the house after exercising, so she hurriedly said, "Let your grandfather listen to the phone?"

"Who called?" Old man Zhao has been gloomy and unhappy because his eldest son's family did not come back on Chinese New Year's Eve last year.

"Here comes the little baby. ”

"What little baby? Let the outsiders hear it, and they don't know what to think. Old Man Zhao's brows moved slightly, and after sitting down slowly, he reluctantly took the phone from his wife, "Stinky girl, you still know to call back." ”

"......" his grandfather's complaint, naturally word for word, from the other end of the phone to Zhao Qingru's ears. In this regard, Zhao Qingru could only pretend that she hadn't heard it, and sweetly greeted her grandfather, "Grandpa, I wish you a happy New Year, and your body is very good." ”

"Hmph, stinky girl, don't want the little red envelope?"

"Heehe~ Ru'er knows that grandpa is the most generous grandfather in the world. Looking back at Ru'er, you give it to the eldest brother~"

……

After that, Zhao Qingru chatted with the old man of the Zhao family, that is, his grandfather, for a while before hanging up the phone. Although they chatted for a long time, Zhao Qingru recalled the content of the conversation a little and found that there was no special place to say anything. Even if the flower did eavesdrop on it, it probably wouldn't hear anything.

Zhao Qingru was still a little worried before, if that flower knew that the two of them were related by blood, would she be alert. But now I don't seem to realize it. Actually, even if the flower knew, what if she did, unless she gave up the opportunity to go to college right now, which she had so hard to get.

Play slowly, there are still five months left...... (To be continued.) )
