Chapter 53: Family Affection

Suddenly thinking of something, Yang Zijian dragged out the travel bag from under the bed, pulled the chain, and took out a bunch of small gifts and put them on the bed, including three beautiful iron pencil cases, three small pencil sharpeners, three red pencils, and a few rulers and triangles. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"One for each person, whatever color pattern you like, choose yourself." Yang Zijian said.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" Zizhen and Shu Yu were overjoyed, immediately forgot about the little sandbag, and threw themselves into this pile of small gifts, looking at this and touching that, they were a little reluctant.

Shu Yu said regretfully: "I already have one of this box, and my grandmother bought it during the summer vacation, but it's a pity, I had to give it away." "Chang's father is a furniture carpenter, and the Chang family runs some small businesses, so the family is very good.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

At five o'clock, the sun hid in the western mountains, and the sky became darker and darker.

In the kitchen, Mama Yang began to steam rice.

Yang Zijian pushed the carved window to the maximum, but the light in the bedroom was still dim, he pulled the switch line of the electric light, and with a "click", the 15-watt light bulb in the room flashed a dark yellow light.

Yang Zijian sat on the edge of the bed and talked to Zizhen and Shu Yu about the life of Nanjian No. 1 Middle School - because it was dark, they stopped playing the game of "catching sandbags", and listened to Yang Zijian talk about school trivial matters-

"My classmates and I get up at half past five every morning, and then go to do morning exercises, and the housemaster teacher has to take a roll call, and those who don't arrive will be recorded...... After breakfast, I have to squeeze to wash the dishes...... At night, I have to go to the cafeteria to turn on the water, a pot of boiling water is a dime, I have to queue, if the queue is late, there is no boiling water to drink, I can only go to my roommate to pour some, or drink tap water directly. ”

The two little Loli listened with relish.

Zizhen once stayed in No. 1 Middle School for one night and spent half a day on campus, very experienced in supplementing and showing off everything she saw, although she didn't know how many times she had spoken about it.

Chang Shuyu longed: "I will also be admitted to No. 1 Middle School in the future, there is a dormitory, running water, canteen, and a garden-like teaching building, and you can order songs on the radio, how good!" ”

In ninety-one years, there was no running water in Nantang Town, and they all picked up water from the upper reaches of Tangxi, or from the Minjiang River, and as soon as Tangxi entered the town, it became a drainage ditch, and the water could not be drunk.

At this time, Zishi's roar came from the door: "I'm back, is my brother there?" ”

His voice was as rough and loud as Father Yang's, and this time he was full of pride and confidence like a victorious general returning to the dynasty.

Dad Yang immediately came over from the backyard and scolded: "Little brute, you came back so late, and your skin is itchy again!" Bring me the basket and show me, what good things have you caught? ”

Yang Zijian walked to the door and said with a smile: "Ha, I want to take a look, Zishe has a good harvest today, right?" ”

When Zishe saw Yang Zijian, he immediately smiled, and handed over the bamboo fish basket as if offering a treasure: "Brother, I touched sixteen big mussels this afternoon, and I also caught thirteen prawns and two bearded fish in the aquatic plants, which is very powerful!" ”

Zijian touched his head and smiled: "Very good, but be careful when you go into the water in the future, don't choke." ”

Zishi's skin was a little dark, he didn't like others to touch his head, so he twisted it, and then smiled proudly: "I'm the first in water, how can I choke, if it wasn't dark, I would still want to touch a few more river mussels, I just found a mussel nest." ”

Zijian shrugged and said, "In the future, it's better to play less and spend more time on studying, don't you want to take the first middle school exam?" I bought you a pencil case, a pencil sharpener, a ruler, and colored pens, you can go in and get them! ”

"Good!" Zi Li jumped over the threshold, saw Chang Shuyu in the room, and exclaimed unexpectedly, "Hey, the housekeeper's wife is back?" ”

Chang Shuyu glanced at him, and immediately sneered: "Hey, loser son, you still know how to go home!" ”

The two were the same age, and they used to play together when they were young, so they both gave each other nicknames.

Whew!

Mother Yang began to fry lard in the kitchen, and the smell of oily meat wafted through the yard.

In rural areas, the fatty meat must be cut out and fried in oil, and after the oil is dried, the pork skin, dry oil residue, and meat pieces with lean meat are processed separately, which can be made into three dishes.

"It's so fragrant, this came early, it's better to come at a good time!" At this time, Grandpa Chang's voice came from the door.

Shu Yu and Zizhen immediately rushed to the door to help their grandfather come in and said, "Grandpa, my brother bought us a gift, very beautiful colored pencils......

Father Yang also nodded and trotted in front of Grandpa Chang, and said with a smile: "Uncle Chang is here, I'll go scoop a bottle of rice wine immediately, there are good dishes today - thanks to Ah Jian's blessing, Ah Shi also fished some river shrimp, which is good as a side dish." ”

When Yang Zijian's grandfather committed suicide, Yang's father was only six or seven years old, and it was Chang's grandfather who took him to Chang's house for a year, and later under the auspices of the family elders, Yang's father's third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, and seventh brother were all given away one after another.

Grandpa Chang pointed at Yang Zijian and said: "Ah Jian, show me the articles you wrote, I heard a lot from the cultural stationmaster and the teacher of the third middle school, it turns out that you have published a lot, and I have only read two articles." ”

Yang Zijian went to take a sample of the newspaper, all of which were packed in an envelope, and Grandpa Chang and Father Yang touched the envelope very carefully and reverently, as if this was the holy decree of the ancient imperial court, and it took a long time to pull out the newspaper, and then the two of them leaned their heads together and sat on the stone steps in front of the patio to read.

In the west, the clouds began to burn, and it was red.

Chang Shuyu also took out a newspaper, read another article excitedly with Zishe and Zizhen, and then found a letter sandwiched in the newspaper, and immediately shouted: "Brother Zijian, who wrote this letter?" ”

Yang Zijian said with a smile: "It was the letter of invitation written by the editor, and he asked me to write more and send it to him." By the way, next week, "Nanjian Daily", "Nanjian Youth Daily", and "Nanjian Overseas Chinese Daily" will publish my articles. Nanjian Daily also has an album of mine dedicated to me. ”

"Introducing you?" Grandpa Chang said happily, "Is it to praise you?" ”

Yang Zijian said: "Sort of, it's mainly a short interview comment and personal profile, this Yancong editor went to the No. 1 Middle School to see me, encouraged me, and the principal recommended my essay to him." ”

This is big news, Grandpa Chang and Father Yang immediately inquired in detail, so that they could brag in front of relatives and friends.

At six o'clock in the evening, the family began to eat, the table is very rich, in addition to the lack of chickens and ducks, the number of dishes is not less than the Spring Festival, there are fresh meat mussel soup, fried pork belly, fried river shrimp, fried edamame with meat skin, meat residue mixed with eggplant, steamed bearded fish, loofah mussel soup, fried water spinach and so on more than a dozen, a family of seven to eat harmoniously.

Grandpa Chang and Father Yang drank a little wine comfortably, and also asked Yang Zijian to drink some.

Yang Zijian drank a few glasses of rice wine, which was very sweet and greasy, and his stamina was quite strong, and he was a little drunk.
