"Xiaolan, now is not the time to discuss this, have you mother and daughter forgotten that we are going to visit relatives today? We haven't gone out yet, and we can't get to my eldest sister's house at noon! ”

Dad found that the three of them had been in the ring space for almost two or three hours, and said very anxiously.

"Oh, Dad, did I forget to tell you that the time in the ring space is not the same as the time outside, three hours in the ring space, and only a few minutes outside. Haven't you noticed that your watch has been moving very slowly since entering the space? ”

Ai Xiaoyu pointed to the watch on Ai's father's wrist and said.

"No, when we came in, it was around seven o'clock, and now it's only a few minutes later, which is amazing!"

"Hehe, Dad, no matter how magical it is, we don't want to stay, let's go out, I miss my aunt's grapefruit a little.

As for here, we went back to Jiangjin's home, and if you just want to go to the ring space every night, I won't have an opinion. Our family practicing Tai Chi exercises in the ring space will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

As soon as Ai Xiaoyu finished speaking, in a flash, the family appeared in the bamboo forest just now.

"Laughing, I see that you haven't planted bamboo in the ring space yet, and the bamboo here is very good, why don't we go pick some bamboo shoots now and plant them in the space?"

Ai Dad saw the large bamboo forest in front of him and said excitedly.

"Okay, we can eat Lingzhu fried pork in the future, it must taste great! Of course, the chicken soup with bamboo shoots is sure to be delicious too! ”

As long as the thought of food and shelter, Ai Xiaoyu's thoughts are like springs.

That's it for the family. Along the way, I picked a lot of bamboo shoots that are unique to the mountains and fields. fungus, mushrooms and much more. One by one, Ai Xiaoyu planted his mind into the ring space.

Over one mountain after another, along the way, there are sparsely populated, and some sparsely scattered homes can be counted in a slap.

When going down the hill, Ai Xiaoyu saw the valley below the mountain, and was a little familiar, "Mom, are we almost there?" ”

"Not really. We're standing on a high place and looking down, right in the depths of that mountain, at your aunt's house, and you can see that there are several places below where the chimneys are smoking. ”

Ai's mother is quite worried about her eldest sister now, living in such a deep mountain, it must be very inconvenient for five children to go to school. Although the house their family is now buying is in the countryside, it can be regarded as a suburb, and the transportation is much more convenient, and they go far away. It's very convenient to take a train, a boat or something.

"There are clouds in ancient poems: 'There are people in the depths of the white clouds', and there are people in the depths of the mountains in the aunt's house?"

Ai Xiaoyu thinks about the miasma of smoke in the big cities of later generations. Compared with the natural scenery here, "there must be a gain and a loss"! Cities develop, often at the cost of destroying the natural environment!

I think there's still a year or two to go. The Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway is about to be repaired to my aunt's town, but it's a pity. Auntie's house is really too far away from Zouma Town, even if the road is repaired. It took more than an hour to walk from their house to the highway.

"Yes, yes, it's good to read more books, and now you can export them into poems!"

Ai's father himself suffered a lot from being uneducated, and he was very happy to see that his daughter was educated.

"Wanlin, how can you use idioms like this? The poems that our daughter said were also written by the ancients, so I changed two words slightly, and if my daughter could write poems such as five-character quatrains and seven-character quatrains by herself one day, it would be considered amazing! ”

Ai's mother remembered that her father had gone to private school, and he was able to handle everything in the piano, chess, poetry, calligraphy and painting, but because he was born at the wrong time, he was useless as a scholar, and later his parents directly married him a daughter-in-law who couldn't read, and finally died of depression.

"Mom, your requirements are too high, do you see where there are still people who teach people to write poetry professionally? At most, I write articles and the like, I may not have a big problem, let me write poetry but I can't do it, I don't have that talent! ”

Ai Xiaoyu was startled when she heard Ai's mother's words, writing poetry is not an easy task! Think about rhyme, rhythm, word filling and the like, it's two big heads, you must resolutely resist this idea of Ai Ma!

"Okay, Xiaolan, our family's laughter is very good now, I studied medicine with Dr. Xu at a young age, followed Shuyun Cuckoo and his wife to learn painting, learn foreign languages, and usually have to go to class, so count them one by one, Xiaoyu can be regarded as a genius!

We walked for a long time, and it will take a few minutes to arrive, you can see if the person standing on the field in front of us is a smiling aunt? ”

Ai's father was reluctant to give up his daughter's bitter face, so he quickly changed the topic of Ai's mother.

Xu Changyuan saw the three of them and stepped forward, "Wanlin, Xiaolan, and laughter, your family came so early!" Xiaoju's house is far away, and they haven't come so soon!

It's a pity that Xiaozhu's family returned to Chengdu, otherwise, your four sisters and brothers would be able to reunite for the New Year! ”

Bai Xiaomei, as the eldest of Ai's mother's four siblings, usually goes to her house on the second day of the Lunar New Year every year, which is the default of everyone, and it has been continued later.

"Brother, Xiaozhu said, let your family, and Xiaoju's family go to Jiangjin this summer vacation to play, get together, and contact and contact feelings!

Of course, the expenses are all given by him, who is a brother, and when Xiaoju's family comes here in a while, I will talk to you about this in detail. ”

When Ai Ma saw Xu Yuanyuan, she remembered what Bai Xiaozhu told her to do and what she said before returning to Chengdu.

"This dare is good, our daughters and sons, they will be very happy to hear that their uncle invited them to Jiangjin to play."

When Xu Yuanyuan heard Bai Xiaozhu's invitation, he was very honored and honored, he was the village secretary of their Ciyun Village, and he was a well-known cultural person.

He knows Bai Xiaozhu's military rank very well, and being able to deal with such a promising brother-in-law is a very important thing for him or for their children.

The aunt's house is very large, large and small can add up to more than a dozen rooms, although the Xu family is deep in the mountains, but compared to other families, the conditions of their family are good. This is also thanks to Bai Xiaomei's efforts in the past two decades, as well as Xu Changyuan's status in the village.

There are two high and low dams in front of the house, and on the left side of the dam is the grapefruit tree that Ai Xiaoyu has always believed, it is said that this pomelo tree has a history of several decades, and every year the Xu family will harvest hundreds of catties of pomelo, which will be stored until the New Year, specially used to greet relatives and friends.

When the aunt saw the group, she also took Xingsan's son Xu Kairong, Xingsi's daughter Xu Kailian, and Xingwu's daughter Xu Kaifei out to greet the guests, "Wanlin, Xiaolan, did you leave early in the morning, you came early." The eldest and second of our family haven't come back yet! Laughing, come and play with your third brother, fourth sister, and fifth sister. ”

Ai Xiaoyu heard her aunt's words, so she had to step forward obediently and greet her brother and sister, "Third brother, fourth sister, fifth sister, hello." ”

Xu Kairong, as the only male in the family, is already 22 years old, and he has reached the age of marriage, he took the initiative to take care of this little cousin, "Hello, hello, smile, don't be polite to our house, I'll take you to eat our grapefruit, this year's grapefruit is particularly sweet." ”

Xu Kairong found the largest grapefruit, quickly peeled off the skin with a knife, and divided half of it to Ai Xiaoyu, "Come, Xiaoyu, eat more, if it's not enough, the third brother will peel it for you again." ”

"It's delicious, I've been missing your grapefruit on the way, and the taste really didn't disappoint me!"

This pomelo of the Xu family is very magical, the pomelo is green when it is ripe, and it will turn yellow after picking it for a while, and the flesh inside is light green, the taste is sweet with a hint of sourness, and the fragrance is also very unique, which is different from ordinary pomelo.

Unfortunately, the previous grapefruit tree died on its own in 2000.

Ai Xiaoyu approached the grapefruit tree and found that there were a lot of small grapefruit saplings growing next to the tree, so she planned to pull out a few seedlings and plant them in her ring space while everyone was not paying attention.

Fifth sister Xu Kaifei asked Ai Xiaoyu very curiously, "Xiaoyu, I heard that you have transferred to Jiangjin City now, is the school in the city much better than the school in the village?" ”

Xu Kaifei is only 15 years old this year, still in the third year of junior high school, and has half a year to face the problem of taking the secondary school or high school exam.

"The schools in the city are definitely much better than the schools in the villages, and the schools in the city generally require students to make progress together in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, not just the knowledge in books.

Fifth sister, you will take the high school entrance examination this year, do you want to take the technical secondary school entrance examination or high school? ”

Ai Xiaoyu remembers that Xu Kaifei's grades are very good, in order to save money for the family, he came out to work early, chose to take the secondary school examination, and also met the other half of her life in the secondary school, the two of them opened a logistics company in their thirties, made a lot of money, and bought a house and a car in the city.

Ai Xiaoyu didn't plan to change her fate easily, she just wanted to ask politely.

"I plan to take the secondary school exam, so that I can come out to work early and get paid early."

Xu Kaifei's words, sure enough, Ai Xiaoyu didn't say anything more.

"Well, yes, now that the secondary school is out, it's still quite easy to find a job."

Xu Kailian, who had not spoken on the side, couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ai Xiaoyu pretending to be an adult talking, "Xiaoyu, why are you so cute!" I haven't seen you for a year, I see that the people in your family have changed a lot, and I found that the second aunt and the second aunt seem to have become a lot younger!

Tell us if you have taken any kind of panacea? Our parents work in the fields all day long, and in comparison, they are dark and old, which is really incomparable! ”

Speaking of which, Ai Xiaoyu is not comfortable, their family is doing well now, it seems that they should also help these relatives, although their family will live well in the future, but it will be more than ten years later, and now Ai Xiaoyu's family can help the Xu family live a good life in advance, it should be good.
