Wang Lei is finally going home.

He didn't bring all the clothes and cotton wool, because he had to bring them over in the coming year, so Zhao's mother asked him to put the things directly here with them.

After dinner early in the afternoon, Zhao Qingyu's family walked across the road to help stop the short-distance car running in the direction of Wang Lei's house.

The big bag on Wang Lei's back contained a few changes of clothes, books and winter vacation homework.

A car came from afar, it was going to Y City, and it happened to pass by Wang Lei's hometown X County.

Zhao's father stretched out his hand and beckoned to the car, and the car pulled over.

"How much does it cost to bring this baby to County X?" Father Zhao asked, standing at the door of the car.

The salesman sat next to him, holding a stack of change, "Four dollars." ”

Zhao's father paid for the car first, asked Wang Lei to get in the car quickly, and told him to pay attention in the car and not fall asleep.

After the car left, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were gone, and Zhao Qingyu was still standing in place.

She saw that Xia Zimo was actually in the car just now, and the latter was sleeping by the window and didn't see her.

"Sister, come back soon!" Zhao Qingfeng stood on the side of the road and shouted to her.

Only then did Zhao Qingyu take a step forward and walk towards his shop.

When they arrived at the store, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were talking.

"How much money did you give that kid?"

"Two hundred dollars, and I bought him a jacket."

"It's okay, this kid suffers a lot."

……

Zhao Qingyu sat next to him, knowing that they were talking about Wang Lei.

In the past week, as soon as the school gate opened at 5 o'clock every morning, Wang Lei came out on time to help in the store and did not leave until the store closed in the evening.

The business was not so busy in the next few days, but he was rushing to do any work.

Especially in the afternoon, I have to do a lot of preparations for the next day, such as stir-fried pickles, preparing green vegetables, pouring oil and spicy seeds, etc., all of which used to be done by Zhao's mother, but now Wang Lei takes the initiative to do it, so that Zhao's mother has nothing to do.

Zhao's mother went out every afternoon to weigh two or two melon seeds, and then grabbed a handful and walked around the neighborhood, chatting with the landlord and the old woman, leisurely.

As soon as Wang Lei left, Zhao's mother began to sigh in the house: "Alas, I will be busy in the future." ”

"Mom, school is on vacation, why are you busy?" Zhao Qingyu couldn't help but strike.

"School is on vacation, but our business can't ......" Zhao's mother stopped halfway through speaking, and finally came back to her senses, "Tomorrow will be the New Year, when will we close." ”

Father Zhao poured a cup of hot water and held it in his hand, and paced over, "Let's close tomorrow, I have to go to L Town tomorrow, and I called there this morning to say that the formalities have been completed." ”

Although Zhao Qingyu was still sitting at the table and eating melon seeds, he couldn't help but jump up in his heart.

"By the way, Xiaoyu, why does the ancestor have to let us buy a house there, does it mean anything special?"

"Yes, our ancestors let us build a house there, and we can build as high as we can."

Zhao Qingyu knew that at this time, private buildings could be built up to seven floors, and in a few years, the height would be limited, and there was no way to build that high.

"We don't really live there, it's too wasteful to build a house......" Zhao's father frowned.

"That's right."

Mother Zhao also chimed in.

Zhao Qingyu smiled and said, "The ancestor will not harm us, this is what she told us thousands of times." ”

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother glanced at each other, and they both saw hesitation in each other's eyes.

Zhao Qingyu is not in a hurry, there are still a few years left, and there will be an opportunity to prove to them that he is right.

Because the business was going to be closed, Zhao Qingyu called the coal boss in advance and said that he would no longer be in the coal the next day.

Zhao's mother also sent news to Lao Liu, who sent the noodles, and wished him a good New Year in advance.

After doing this, the family closed the door of the store and walked towards the house together.

On the way, Zhao's mother specially pulled Zhao Qingyu's arm and asked her if her ancestors really wanted them to build a house in L Town.

"It's true, but if you don't have enough money now, don't worry, it's okay to wait another year and a half."

Mother Zhao was even more puzzled, "What does your ancestor mean by this......"

Zhao Qingyu didn't answer immediately, thinking about another thing in her heart, and when she was about to arrive at the door, she suddenly whispered to her mother: "Mom, tell you the news, my cousin is getting married this year......

Before she finished speaking, Zhao's mother's phone rang.

"Hey, third sister, ......"

Five minutes later, Zhao's mother hung up the phone and looked at Zhao Qingyu again with a hint of shock in her eyes.

"Xiaoyu, your cousin is really getting married, just now your third aunt called us to go back for the New Year."

Zhao Qingyu smiled: "Look, the ancestor won't lie to us." ”

……

In the evening, Zhao's mother told Zhao's father about it again.

As soon as the two of them combined, they felt that there were really more and more things being said by Xiaoyu, which could not be a coincidence.

"The ancestor has really appeared, I'm not mistaken, our Xiaoyu is a blessed person." Mother Zhao cleaned up her clothes again and whispered.

"I already knew, and I still need to say it." Zhao's father was about to take out a cigarette happily, but Zhao's mother glared at him and put it back.

Zhao's mother took out the clothes that Zhao's father was going to wear the next day and put them on the chair next to her, and then went to see the two children.

She didn't have to wake up early tomorrow, and she didn't go to bed as early that night as she usually did.

His son Zhao Qingfeng was already asleep, and Zhao Qingyu was still doing his homework.

"Xiaoyu, it's ten o'clock, I'll write it during the day."

Zhao Qingyu didn't raise his head: "Mom, you go to sleep first, I'll finish writing it right away." ”

Mother Zhao made her a cup of hot fruit Zhen, and then went back to rest.

……

It wasn't until more than eleven o'clock in the evening that Zhao Qingyu finally finished all his winter vacation homework.

At this time, she remembered Guozhen at the table, but unfortunately it was already cold, and when she took a sip, she shivered from the cold.

She put away the books, took Guozhen back to the living room, and added some hot water to her stomach a few times.

Back in the bedroom, she turned off the lamp, and the room fell into darkness.

She groped her way up to the bed, it was quite hot inside, and it was Zhao's mother who specially filled the hanging water bottle with hot water and put it in her futon.

I don't know when it began, her feet were still cold in the winter, and she often slept until dawn.

With this hot water bottle, it is much more comfortable to sleep at night.

……

The next day, Zhao's father was called up by Zhao's mother early in the morning, asking him to go to L Town early to handle things, and then go to T City early to attend his nephew's wedding.

The family sent Zhao's father to the car and began to prepare for the New Year.

Although this year's Chinese New Year must be in T City, I also need to prepare some New Year's goods at home.

Zhao's mother took her two children to the old farmers' market in the east of the town, weighed some fish and pork ribs, and weighed some candy melon seeds in the supermarket.

On the way back, the three of them were carrying large bags and small bags in their hands, and they were all tired enough when they got home.

As soon as she arrived at the house, Zhao's mother wanted to marinate the fish and meat she bought, and Zhao Qingyu was on the side to help.

"Xiao Feng, go downstairs and buy five packs of salt." Mother Zhao took out five yuan and handed it to Zhao Qingfeng.

Zhao Qingyu found a clean snakeskin bag and put it on the ground, put the board on it, found the axe and began to chop the ribs.

Chop the ribs into small pieces, spread them evenly with salt and chili powder, make a hole, and hang them with homemade hooks to dry after the rope is passed.

Fish and meat are also prepared in a similar way.
