Chapter 49: Back to School

"Hey!

Today is a good day,

Whatever you want can come true,

Today is a good day,

I opened the door of the house, let's welcome the spring breeze......"

Someone in Gujia Village got married and held a wedding today, and early in the morning there was a deafening sound of music from the west.

Gu Changrong came out of the house and saw his grandson Gu Xidong standing by the pool and preparing to wash his hair.

Although it has already been autumn, the weather is still hot, Gu Xidong is naked, hunched over the edge of the pool, and is putting his head under the faucet.

"Ahh Yes! Gu Changrong shouted as he stepped forward to stop him.

Gu Xidong was dragged back a few steps by his grandfather, he stroked the water droplets on his face with his hands, tilted his head, squinted his eyes and called grandpa.

Gu Changrong pointed to the kettle on the stove in the stove, and then pointed to his grandson's head, meaning to let him wash it with hot water.

Gu Xidong shook the water on his head, "It's okay, the water is not cold." ”

Gu Changrong shook his head vigorously, he motioned to Gu Xidong not to move, and then walked quickly to the stove room and brought the hot water kettle.

The kettle in his hand has been around for some years, the shell is blackened by the fire, and the handle is not matched, so it was only recently replaced.

Gu Changrong picked up the plastic basin and put it on the edge of the pool, poured half a pot of hot water, and slowly mixed some cold water into the basin with a gourd scoop, shook his hand in the clear water, and after testing the temperature, he patted Gu Xidong's lean back and motioned him to squat down.

"I'll do it myself." Gu Xidong just wanted to grab the gourd scoop in his grandfather's hand, but his grandfather held his back and squatted down.

The warm water flowed down the back of his head to the pool, and he squinted his eyes pleasantly.

Grandpa squeezed some shampoo into his hand and rubbed it into his hair. Grandpa's hands were very strong, and the calluses on his fingers and abdomen from years of labor rubbed against his scalp, making him itchy and painful.

A sour undercurrent passed through his heart, and there seemed to be something pouring out of his closed eyes.

After washing his hair and feeling refreshed, he put on a white short-sleeved T-shirt on the back of the chair next to him and had breakfast under the tree with his grandfather.

Breakfast is still the same as the old three, steamed buns, pickles and gruel.

However, there was a white and chubby peeled boiled egg in front of him, and his grandfather took a bite of the steamed bun, ordered some eggs with chopsticks, and signaled him to eat it quickly.

He picked up the egg and took a bite of the white, squeezed out the yolk and threw it into his grandfather's bowl, "I don't like to eat this." ”

Grandpa furrowed his brows, and the long eyebrows at the end of his eyebrows shook up and down. He wanted to give the egg yolk to Gu Xidong again, but Gu Xidong stood up with the bowl, he drank the porridge in a few sips, and put the empty bowl into the pool, "Grandpa, I'm going to school." ”

Gu Changrong looked at Gu Xidong helplessly, he screamed twice, pointed to the west of the village, and reminded Gu Xidong to go to the wedding house for dinner after he came back.

Gu Xidong sighed.

Gu Changrong saw that his attitude was perfunctory, and he couldn't help but lift his butt from the stool, pointed to the food on the table, and made a big swallowing motion.

Gu Xidong didn't want to disobey the old man's intentions, he stood in the same place and said, "I know, I'll go when I come back." ”

Grandpa was afraid that he would miss the banquet.

Although Gujia Village is located in the center of Shuoyang, it still retains the customs and folklore of the countryside. When the villagers encounter red and white affairs, the host family will set up a tent at home to entertain relatives and friends. Generally, it is a flowing water seat, depending on the size of the place, ten or twenty tables are set up, and the tables are changed after eating, until all the guests are finished.

Now the banquet in the countryside is different from the past, and now the people who invite a team of farmers and chefs with a good reputation in the neighborhood are responsible for all the processes on the banquet, including tableware, tables, chairs and benches, washing vegetables, washing dishes, etc., all of which are specially responsible for reducing the burden on the host's family. Moreover, the banquet is of high quality and low price, which is the preferred way to feast guests in rural areas.

Rural gifts.

Although the family is in financial difficulties, the favors that should be left should not be missing. A wedding banquet like today's has to be met two or three times a month, and it can't be escaped, so Gu Changrong regards it as a good thing to improve his life, after all, his grandson is growing his body, and he can eat more meat to have the energy to study hard.

Gu Xidong went back to the house and took his schoolbag, came out and put a box in front of Gu Changrong, "Grandpa, I bought you a shirt, you can wear it when you go to Uncle Yanrong's house later." ”

New clothes?

Gu Changrong was stunned and looked at the neatly folded gray shirt in the box.

This kid.

and buy things blindly.

He's this age, and he's wearing new clothes.

"Ahh He pointed to his shirt and shouted angrily.

Gu Xidong smiled at him, "The mall handles it, it's not expensive, you can wear it!" I'm leaving, sir. ”

Gu Xidong strode towards the door.

Gu Changrong looked at the upright back of the young man in the morning light, and his eyes couldn't help but feel hot.

Oh what he is......

Shuoyang Foreign Chinese High School.

After eight o'clock, the empty campus suddenly became lively.

Students walked through the school gate and walked towards the first year of high school.

Two new landscape stones have been placed in the green belt on both sides of the small square at the school gate, one on the left and one on the right, which are engraved with the words 'Refuse mediocrity, pursue excellence!' 'Eight-character school motto.

"North-north! Beibei, wait for me! Li Muzi's schoolbag strap fell to his elbow, and the schoolbag was hanging down his waist, running up and hitting his hips, looking cute.

She gasped and grabbed Nanbei, who was walking in front, "Wait...... Wait a minute...... Early...... Breakfast. ”

She held up a paper bag with the logo of a famous fast-food restaurant in the air, "Both...... It's all you...... Loved ......"

Nanbei turned his head and pushed away the paper bag in front of him with an expressionless face, "I'm not hungry." ”

Li Muzi hunched his waist and tilted his head to look at the north and south, "I'm not hungry...... Don't be hungry and eat a little, you didn't eat last night and went to the hospital to accompany your aunt, my mother was very distressed, and urged my dad to go to the store in the square to buy breakfast early in the morning, and asked me to wait for you at the school gate early. Well, it's all your favorites, there's cheese chicken panini, spring rolls, sun eggs, oh yes, and hot soy milk. ”

"Eat, I'm not hungry." North and South said.

"I ate it, and my dad bought two servings." Li Muzi blinked his eyes and carefully poked Nanbei's arm, "Eat, eat, eat a little." ”

Seeing Nanbei looking at her, she smiled flatteringly, "Eat, Beibei, just eat a little." ”

Nanbei sighed helplessly, took the paper bag, opened it, took out a spring roll from it, and put it in his mouth.

Li Muzi breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward in the footsteps of the north and south.

"Beibei, you didn't sleep last night, did you?" Li Muzi pointed to Guibei's eyes.

"Hmm. Didn't sleep well. "Nanyan has been suffering from a fever in recent days after her treatment was delayed by a previous funeral. Grandma is old, and she has a cold after a few days, so she can only be replaced to go to the hospital to accompany her.

Last night, the nurse came in and went out at one time, and she didn't fall asleep at all.

"Poor Beibei......" Li Muzi snorted distressedly, jumped up and hugged Nanbei, rubbed her shoulder like a kitten, and said: "I'll accompany you to the hospital when you come back, we can take turns taking care of Auntie, that way, you won't be as tired as you are now." ”

Nanbei pursed his lips, broke free of Muzi's arm, and said, "Don't come to make trouble, I'm about to collapse when I take care of my mother, and if I have another you, won't I go crazy." ”

"How can I make trouble......

"It's no wonder there's none!"

"North and South!" Li Muzi crossed his hands on his hips.

"I'm going to find our old class, goodbye!" The north and the south quickened their pace and slipped away.

Li Muzi chased two steps, "Let's go together!" ”。

"Besides, Telus!" North and South waved their hands and strode away.
