The pace of life in the town is slow, and time seems to have been stretched, and every day passes slowly, and before you know it, three years have passed.

On Sunday morning, there was no class at the elementary school in the town, Ruan Yu still got up early, packed up the things sent by Ou Heshun, and packed up a big bag of candy, clothes, small toys and so on that Tianniu.

Fortunately, these things look a lot, and they are not too heavy to carry in your hand.

The road from the town to Langang Village has been repaired once, it was originally a dirt road, but now it has become a concrete road, and if you want to go to the village, you still have to take a donkey cart, but it takes a lot less time than before.

It was Uncle Li who drove the donkey cart back then, the old man was physically tough, his spirit was good, and he seemed to be able to drive the donkey cart for many years.

Sitting on the rickety donkey cart, looking at the clouds in the sky, slowly moving from east to west, before you knew it, you arrived at Langang Village.

It was close to noon when I arrived, and some of the late eaters were still smoking from the rooftops.

Uncle Li's youngest grandson is in high school, and when she left, Ruan Yu deliberately left half a catty of walnuts and two bottles of milk in the car, which can be regarded as a piece of her heart.

Rural people have done a lifetime of farm work, and they don't like to be idle when they are old, perhaps because of this reason, those old men and old ladies are quite healthy.

Not only Uncle Li who was driving the car, but also the old couple of the Ou family.

Parents are here, not separated. The old couple are in good health, and there is naturally no way to talk about separating the family. In addition to the third child who moved to the town early, the eldest and second child still live with the old husband and wife.

Knowing that Ruan Yu was coming today, lunch was deliberately later than usual. When she arrived, her two sisters-in-law were cooking in the kitchen, and the younger children were still playing outside.

Ou Xiangxue, the eldest son of the old family, is nine years old this year and is in the third grade of elementary school, and when he heard that she was going to find her younger siblings, he threw down his homework and ran out of the house, saying that he was going.

The second family's daughter, the late girl, was cutting the pigweed she had just called in the corner of the yard, and her eyes were carefully hidden with envy.

She can't go to school, and she can't play with her younger siblings, because she is a girl, she has to help the family do all kinds of housework, and her mother told her that it is easy for a girl who works hard to get married and find a good mother-in-law.

She is seven years old this year, and she has reached the age of going to elementary school, and Ruan Yu has persuaded her a few times, but the two members of the second family feel that it is useless to let girls study, so they have not let go.

Seeing her eyes at this time, Ruan Yu felt some inexplicable guilt in her heart.

The children are running a family wine at the foot of the back mountain today. It is said to be a back mountain, but in fact, it is a small dirt slope dozens of meters high, and you can only see the real and densely wooded mountain when you turn over the back mountain.

Sweet girl wears a small skirt and a small flower umbrella, and sits obediently under the tree to dutifully play the role of a child in the family.

The children don't have a very clear concept of beauty and ugliness, but they just think that the sweet girl is cute and likable, and they are all vying to play her parents.

Now it's okay, the real mother of the family is here, and she wants to take the person away, and none of them have a chance.

Ruan Yu likes children, otherwise she wouldn't go to primary school to be a teacher, and she couldn't bear to see these children look lost, so she said, "You guys go back to lunch first, and let Tianniu give you the sugar tomorrow." ”

The sweet girl ran over happily when she saw her mother, and at this time she was holding the corner of her mother's skirt, and she also nodded while nodding her head.

Ruan Yu touched her head with a smile and asked her, "Then the sweet girl can count, how many children are there?" ”

Tianniu seriously pointed and counted them one by one, counted them, counted them again and confirmed them, and finally seemed to confirm that she was not wrong, and nodded with satisfaction, then she raised her head and looked at Ruan Yu, her voice was crisp.

"There are fourteen."

Ou Xiangxue kept paying attention to the direction that Tianniu was pointing, and seeing that she didn't count herself twice and couldn't help but scream, "And me, and me!"

"Hey, when did you come here?"

It seems that the little cousin only has his own mother in his eyes, and he doesn't see his brother at all, Ou Xiangxue is a little frustrated.

However, what made him even more frustrated was still to come.

"There's no sugar for you."

He asked angrily, "Xiao Yong and Xiao Qin have both, why don't I have any?" ”

The two named younger brothers did not panic at all, and his own brother Ou Xiangqin even made a smug grimace at him

"We've been playing all morning, but you've just arrived."

The anger in his stomach immediately dissipated cleanly, and he was even a little aggrieved.

"I want to play too, but I'm already in school, so I have to finish my homework before I can play......"

It's a good thing to think about doing homework.

Ruan Yu played a round game, "The elementary school is right, you have to complete your homework first and then play." Is it okay for Sweet Girl to give a piece of candy to her elementary school brother? ”

"Okay then."

My mother finally made a request, but I couldn't help but agree.

Everyone was satisfied with the result of the sugar distribution, and Ruan Yu led the four children home.

The old couple watched a large family sitting at a table, and the smile on their faces couldn't be hidden.

If you push it back for more than ten years, you hope that your children will be able to get ahead, do big things, and make a lot of money. When I reach old age, my biggest wish is to think that the whole family will get together, be lively and reunited.

The eldest and second are the same as their parents, they are farmers who dig in the soil, only the third went to the town to work as a driver, and later opened a shop.

The economic conditions of the third family's family were originally better than the first two elder brothers, but now the gap is getting wider and wider.

In the year Tianniu was born, the third child suddenly wanted to go into business, and the town's economy was also backward, so he deliberately chose to open a store in the city.

At that time, people were simple-minded, thinking that he had a good iron rice bowl and should not run to be self-employed, he was so stupid that he couldn't do it, and I don't know how many people were not optimistic about him.

The result was unexpected, when he opened the store, there were many new subsidy policies promulgated above, and with these subsidies, the store opened smoothly and smoothly, and now it has a small reputation in the city.

The improvement of his family's situation also comes at a price, he has to be busy with sales, and he has to contact the source of goods and contact the manufacturer himself, so sometimes he can't go home for months, even busier than when he was a long-distance bus driver.

The third daughter-in-law is also assertive, unlike her sisters-in-law who take care of the children at home, she has her own job and gets a salary. You can only take two days off on weekends, and you don't see many times a year.

The son and daughter-in-law didn't see each other a few times, only the little granddaughter stayed here and could see each other every day.

I can't stay for a few years, and when Sweet Niu goes to elementary school, she will definitely have to go back to town.

When Mrs. Zhang thought about it, she suddenly felt a little sad.

But the child is doing well, it is always good, and in order to satisfy his own selfishness, he can't let the third child stop doing business and return to the village to accompany the old couple.
