Boom Boom Boom ......

His father's motorcycle has been riding for five or six years, and Lin Ye still remembers that when he used to go to junior high school in the town, he rode this motorcycle back and forth every week.

The road from Jian'an City to Dunxu Town is still a cement national highway, but if you want to return to Lefeng Village from Dunxu Town, there is something to toss.

Although the stone road in my memory has been paved into an oil road, it is still a winding mountain road, but whether it is uphill or downhill, it is equally shocking.

There is even a section of road winding up the mountain, Father Lin's motorcycle is old, and the horsepower is not enough, so Lin Ye needs to push it up with him.

Finally, after spending nearly two and a half hours, Lin Ye finally returned to his long-lost hometown, Lefeng Village.

"Dad! Mother! I'm back......"

The motorcycle stopped in the courtyard of a quaint farmhouse, which was the home of Lin Ye's grandparents.

Lin Ye followed his father into the house with health care products, his grandfather watched Peking Opera in the living room, and his grandmother fed the ducks in the backyard. The TV is a twenty-inch large LCD, and grandpa looked at Zhengle, his voice was so loud that he didn't even hear Father Lin's call.

It wasn't until Father Lin walked in front of him that he shouted happily in surprise: "Third child! Third child, are you back? Come in, old woman. The third child and Yezi are back to see us. I haven't been back for more than half a year......"

"The third! It's really the third child, how are you doing in the city? Lose weight! And Yezi, you have to eat more! Go back this time, bring a few old hens, and let your mother stew for you to eat and replenish your body! ”

Grandma is very energetic, although she is seventy or eighty years old and full of gray hair, she is still the capable posture of a rural woman.

Father Lin also seemed to have not come back to see his parents for too long, so he nodded again and again with guilt, and after Lin Ye said a few words to his grandparents, he slipped out of the back door and ran quickly towards the path on the left.

What he was going to was Lilac's house, which was very close to his grandparents' house, just two or three families apart.

Knock knock knock......

Walking to the familiar position, Lin Ye found that the old mud house of the Lilac family had been replaced by a new and tall brick house.

Knocking on the door a little weakly, Lin Ye clenched his fists with both hands and waited at the door very crampedly.

"Who!"

There was a squeak, the voice of the person who opened the door, Lin Ye was a little familiar, and his heart just started to get excited, but as soon as the door opened, he fell to the bottom in an instant.

"Huh? It's Brother Ye, why are you back? ”

The person who opened the door was not Lilac, but her little sister Ding Mei. When she grows up, Ding Mei has five images with Lilac, and her voice is similar, but her body lacks the dusty and fresh temperament of Lilac, and has more earthy fragrance, and her eyebrows between laughter are more down-to-earth.

"Ding Mei, is your sister at home? I've heard...... She...... She's back from working in Guangdong! ”

Lin Ye's heart was very worried, and in the two years after he went to high school, he often found excuses to go back to his hometown with his father. However, even if it was the Chinese New Year, Lilac did not come back, working in Guangdong, the round-trip fare was expensive, and I couldn't buy a ticket at all during the Spring Festival.

However, not long ago, he occasionally listened to his father talking to his hometown on the phone, and he heard the fourth uncle and his father say that Lilac was back.

But that's all there is to it, why did Lilac come back, and how is she doing now? Lin Ye didn't know anything.

Moreover, Lin Ye was even more afraid, Lilac just came back at that time, and then continued to work?

"My sister is back! Now I work in the bamboo strip factory, and I haven't gotten off work yet. ”

Ding Mei said, "Why don't you wait for my sister to come back and let her go to your house to find you?" ”

"Working in a bamboo strip factory? Good! Ding Mei, what time does Lilac get home from work? I'll come back then. ”

Lin Ye was relieved when he heard this, after all, he could finally meet each other!

However, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, what if he could meet? I've been degraded like this in three years of high school, if Lilac asks, I'll be disappointed, right?

He went to Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, which Lilac dreamed of, but he wasted his years like this, which made Lin Ye feel that he had no face to see Lilac.

The mood that has been excited since he came back couldn't help but calm down, Lin Ye was embarrassed to find that now he was a little afraid of seeing cloves, and when he really met, what would he say? And she...... What will become of it now?

People are such contradictions.

Lin Ye went back to his grandparents' house stupidly, but as soon as he walked back to the yard, he heard the quarrel between his father and his uncle.

"Third brother, what do you mean by this? This money should be given to me during the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year, you said that you were short of money, and it would be a few months late. Now you give half of it, and the other half is going to be postponed until next year? Isn't that a bit excessive? This is the voice of Lin Ye's uncle Lin Guosong.

"Guosong, isn't this Xiao Ye going to college soon, and I can't prepare a sum of money for him?"

Father Lin said embarrassedly, "If Xiao Ye is admitted to university, isn't our old Lin family also a glorious ancestor?" There are few college students in the entire Dunxu Town every year! There are only two of them in our village! ”

However, Lin Guosong didn't buy it: "One yard is one yard!" Third brother, didn't I say, what kind of university did you go to? You see, in our village, whose children didn't rush to work to earn money after finishing junior high school?

Your Xiaoye is different from others, he wants to go to high school and take the university entrance examination. My Xiaohui didn't finish junior high school yet, so I rushed to Guangdong to work. Hehe...... Moreover, third brother, you have to think about it carefully, even if Xiao Ye is admitted to university, he may not be able to find a good job, and he doesn't have to work for someone when he comes out. ”

"That's it! Guozhong, it's not that the eldest brother said you. Haven't you read everything on TV and in the newspapers these days? After graduating, college students will receive a salary of two or three thousand yuan, which is not as good as that of migrant workers. What kind of university are you studying? By the way, isn't your brother-in-law Li Dali a college graduate? If he goes to college, he will be able to make a difference? ”

Da Bolin Guojian also helped the uncle speak, "Also, you said that you go to the city to work, and you have to rent a house, and buying vegetables and everything is much more expensive than in the countryside, how much money can you make?" Hum! It's better for me and Guosong to raise chickens at home, and we can earn 100,000 yuan a year! ”

"That's it! What kind of university does Xiao Ye go to! I think it's better not to be admitted, otherwise, tens of thousands of yuan a year in tuition and expenses, third brother, can you get it? The consumption in big cities is not comparable to that of our small place. When the time comes, huh! Aren't you here to ask me and my eldest brother to borrow money? ”

……

After listening outside the door for a long time, Lin Ye understood it.

The family is indeed in difficulty, and my father has been in arrears for so long even the little money he has to give to his uncle every year as a substitute for taking care of his grandparents.
