part167: The heart of parents in the world
In the evening, the red glow on the horizon is endless, red like blood, and the golden sunlight gilds a layer of broken gold for the outhouse, and the names of the birds come and go, as if calling relatives and friends, and as if welcoming the arrival of the night.
Xu Zhen stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, clicked on the regular release with satisfaction, opened the curtains with a "swish", the room suddenly brightened, Xu Zhen subconsciously squinted his eyes, and after a while he got used to it, looking at the sunset outside, the scene of broken gold flashing, raised the corners of his mouth greatly, and went downstairs in a good mood.
When Grandpa Xu saw her, he said kindly, "Get up, sister-in-law is cooking." (Grandpa Xu's sister-in-law is Aunt Xu)
Xu Zhen nodded, smiled and reached out to hug the ball ball that rushed towards her, and asked casually, "Auntie, are they going back?" β
Grandma Xu said, "Well, I'll go back at four o'clock." β
Xu Zhen staggered into the kitchen with the ball and poured water, "Auntie." β
When Aunt Xu saw her, she naturally said, "Little sister is up, are you hungry?" Cooked. β
Xu Zhen said funny: "How can you be hungry so quickly, is there anything you need my help with?" β
Aunt Xu walked around the kitchen, "Pick the water spinach, keep the stalks, and make you sauerkraut stalks to drink porridge." β
Xu Zhen said happily: "Okay." I drank the water from the cup in one go, took the food to the living room, and picked it up slowly.
Seeing this, Grandma Xu helped while talking to her about homely things, and the atmosphere was good.
The Jian family, which had been lively for most of the day, finally quieted down at this time, Uncle Jian looked at Jian Shuhao's family of three, and asked very incomprehensibly: "I don't have to go to work tomorrow, why do you go back?" It's not that there are no rooms. β
Aunt Jian and others also opened their mouths: "I finally came back once, Ah Yan also had a holiday, so I stayed at home for two days, why did I go back, I don't think the family is good." β
Shen Qinglan hurriedly smiled, "What sister-in-law said, it's not as good as at home." Looking at his son, who was silent on the side, he said with a somewhat embarrassed face, "There is really something at home, and I have told others that I can't break the appointment." β
Grandpa Jian said: "Then you go back, Ah Yan stays, anyway, Ah Yan is on holiday." β
Shen Qinglan: "......" looked at his son with a helpless look, grandpa speaks, you can solve it yourself.
Jian Yan frowned slightly, feeling a little irritable, these days are either exams or running on the road, today I was noisy for another day, I really don't like it, I took a deep breath, tried to make my tone sound very calm and said: "I didn't bring anything back, next time, the third sister will get the admission letter in two days, and I will come back at that time." β
The elders were still dissatisfied, but seeing his insistence, they had no choice but to let him go, told him to pay attention to safety on the road, and called when he arrived.
In the car, Shen Qinglan looked at her son, who was silent behind the car, and asked casually, "What?" Under the weather? β
"No," Jian Yan replied without hesitation, "it's hot and annoying." β
Shen Qinglan looked at his slightly tired look and sighed helplessly, "Go back and make you some herbal tea, this kind of weather is indeed easy to make people angry." β
In short, he didn't speak, and fell into the car with his eyes closed.
Jian Shuhao and Shen Qinglan glanced at each other, helpless and a little surprised in their eyes, it was really rare for his son to have a little temper.
The same mobile phone ringtone rang, which seemed a little abrupt in the quiet carriage, Jian Yan took out his mobile phone, glanced at the caller ID, and his heart moved slightly, "Hey." β
Xu Zhen took Qiuqiu for a walk in the village, and said in a good mood: "Hey, are you done?" I'm walking with Qiuqiu. β
"Well, on the way back." Jian Yan glanced at the two people in front of him, sat up, and replied calmly.
Xu Zhen was stunned, inexplicably feeling weak, and hurriedly said, "Then say goodbye first." β
In short: "......" glanced at the mobile phone page showing the end of the call, raised the corners of his mouth funny and helplessly, and continued to lie back in the car seat.
Shen Qinglan felt very sensitively that her son's aura had become different, and asked quietly, "Classmate?" β
Jian Yan smiled slightly in his heart and replied calmly: "Hmm." β
"Ask questions about your studies?" Shen Qinglan continued to ask.
Jian Yan still said: "Yes." β
Shen Qinglan praised: "I am really diligent, and I ask questions about my studies during the holidays." β
Jian Yan pretended not to understand her words, and said, "Hmm." β
Shen Qinglan looked at Jian Shuhao next to her depressedly, her eyes were very dissatisfied.
Jian Shuhao pursed his lips innocently while driving, I am really innocent, don't blame me every time you can't ask your son.
On the playground, Xu Zhen sat on the stairs with his chin propped up and watched everyone play, and the ball was happily jumping on the side, making Xu Zhen's body tilt several times.
A tall boy came over, wanted to get closer and was a little scared to watch the ball, and smiled awkwardly: "Little sister, you're back." β
Xu Zhen recognized him as the elder brother of the neighbor next door to his uncle's house, so he said kindly: "Well, don't be afraid, Qiuqiu is not fierce." β
The boy smiled, still a little scared, and sat away from her, in the same chat mode, "What are you reading?" When is the holiday? β
"Sophomore, two days early, where's Brother Shizi?" Not mistaken, this brother is called that, Xu Zhen said cautiously.
The boy touched his head and said embarrassedly, "Hehe, I've been on vacation for a long time." β
Xu Zhen asked casually: "What kind of major are you?" β
The boy said confidently: "Sports, what about the little sister?" β
"Chinese language." Xu Zhen sighed in his heart that many boys study these majors.
Zhao Shiqian, like everyone else, naturally asked when he heard this major: "Will you be a teacher in the future?" β
Sure enough, Xu Zhen smiled in his heart and said lightly: "I don't know, I have to see later." β
"Come here, come here." A delicate female voice sounded from the side.
Xu Zhen turned his head, "Second brother, second sister." β
Zhao Shiqian saw the person coming and greeted him familiarly: "Ah Cheng, second sister." β
"Brother Shizi, long time no see," Xu Lan said hello with a smile, reached out to hug Qiuqiu, and rubbed its head, "Everyone is gone, and I thought I was going home." β
Xu Zhen said faintly: "Does this sentence imply that we are going home?" β
Xu Lan said unceremoniously: "You can go home, Qiuqiu stays." β
Xu Zhen vomited blood, what about the beautiful sisterhood?
Zhao Shiqian couldn't help but laugh when he saw them bickering with each other, it was so good to get along like this.
Xu Cheng patted Xu Lan's shoulder with a smile and looked at Zhao Shiqian, "Shizi, when did you come back?" None of them have ever seen anyone. β
Zhao Shiqian touched his head embarrassedly, "I haven't come out at home, I want to come out to play ball today, but there are people." β
Xu Zhen looked at the boys who looked like junior high school students on the playground, some knew it, some didn't know it, and couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast, the little children I knew before have all grown up, and some don't know each other." β
Xu Lan looked at the boys running back and forth on the playground, and said depressedly: "It's only been three years since I went out, so I don't know these little boys." β
Xu Cheng looked at the expressions of his two younger sisters, shook his head helplessly, and educated: "I told you to come back and go out for a walk more, but I don't listen, now no one knows anyone." β
Xu Zhen and Xu Lan glanced at each other, and they both felt that what their brother said was nonsense, and it was the same whether they knew each other or not.
Xu Cheng is very famous in the village, every time he goes home, which child can't do a question is to ask him, so many children know him, at this time, seeing him, the boys who are playing ball come over and happily invite: "Ah Cheng wants to play?" β
Some boys also knew Zhao Shiqian and invited one after another, "What about Brother Shizi?" β
Xu Cheng glanced at Zhao Shiqian, patted him on the shoulder, got up and said, "Let's go, I wanted to come out to play ball, and I was the same as them." β
Zhao Shiqian's personality was originally cheerful and cheerful, and he got up without hesitation when he heard the words, and said while moving his tibia: "Okay, I haven't moved for a week since I came back, and my bones are going to be soft." β
The boys saw the two big brothers with them, and the fighting spirit of playing ball became even more excited, and for a while, the playground was very lively, and even Xu Zhen and Xu Lan felt enthusiastic, and wanted to roll up their sleeves and play with them.
Xu Lan looked at the people on the playground intently next to him, and asked calmly and casually: "Well, it's a holiday, what's the matter?" β
"Huh?" Xu Zhen didn't know why, and used the tone word to express doubt, but he didn't look at her, and still looked at the playground with interest.
Xu Lan pursed his lips and said with a snort: "In short, your boyfriend." β
Xu Zhen's expression froze, turned his head to look at her, and said calmly, "What's wrong?" β
Xu Lan bumped her on the shoulder and asked gossipsily, "Do you want him?" Do you have a dream that you can't sleep at night? β
Xu Zhen calmly got goosebumps, and said with a smile: "We have only been separated for two days, do you want to be so exaggerated." β
Xu Lan said confidently: "I don't see you for a day, like every three autumns." β
Xu Zhen said from the bottom of his heart: "I don't think you should learn violin, you should learn literature." β
Xu Lan slapped him with a smile, Xu Zhen smiled and dodged away, and the two sisters were playing and making trouble, so they were not naΓ―ve.
The Xu family, who had already turned on the incandescent lamp, Li Lili was puzzled while feeding Xu Keming: "It's past seven o'clock, what are these children doing when they go out, it's time to eat, call them." β
Xu Shumo took out his mobile phone, listened to the ringtones of mobile phones in all corners, and said helplessly: "I don't bring any mobile phones." β
Grandma Xu said dotingly: "I'm not hungry yet, wait for them to come back slowly, the little sister said to go out to play with Qiuqiu, and she should come back soon." β
Xu Shumo said: "Ah Cheng and Lan'er should have gone out to find her, and they know that they have to come back for dinner when they look at the time, don't worry." β
Li Lili shook her head and looked at her husband on the side, "You better go out and have a look, see where to play, and let them come back for dinner." β
Uncle Xu, who was close to fifty years old, went out obediently, looked at the lush longan trees on both sides of the road, remembered that many years ago he often went out to find his children to go home for dinner, and couldn't help laughing.
