Chapter 175: Returning Home for the New Year
Walking quickly to Song Yuhua's side, with his chin raised, Song Yaozu said, "Let's go." ”
Song Yuhua rolled his eyes and threw the two packages in his hand into his arms, "Take it, this is a gift for my parents and second aunt." ”
Song Yaozu's eyes lit up, "What?" I immediately started to look through it, and saw that it was just some clothes and pastries and the like, and I lost interest in it for a moment.
Looking up again, Song Yuhua had walked more than ten steps away, "Eh, wait for me." Song Yaozu shouted urgently and hurried to catch up.
The bus station is very lively, especially in this period close to the Spring Festival, and the station is full of people.
The tickets for the next bus have been sold out, and Song Yuhua and the others are lucky, just to buy the last two tickets for the next bus, but they still have to wait for three hours.
If it weren't for the fact that he had brought too many things, Song Yuhua really wanted to go around the neighborhood for such a long time, and now he could only find a corner at the station.
I woke up so early in the morning, but it was nearly two o'clock in the afternoon when I got on the long-distance bus, and it was even darker when I got home.
Stepping on the cold wind and scattered starlight, Song Yuhua and Song Yaozu returned to the village, and a few dog barks came from nowhere, especially clear in the silent countryside.
"Mom and Dad, we're back." Song Yaozu roared when he entered the house, and the dark house suddenly lit up.
Xu heard who the voice was, Lin Xiaofang came out first, Song Minggen followed closely, and after the two sides said hello, Song Ergu also opened the door and walked out.
"Yaozu, why did you come back so late!" Lin Xiaofang walked up quickly, grabbed Song Yaozu's hand and looked up and down, muttering words like "thin" in her mouth.
Song Yuhua rolled her eyes, and she knew that Lin Xiaofang could only see her son in her eyes.
Song Minggen also seemed to see that something was wrong, coughed a little embarrassed, looked at Song Yuhua and said, "I'm back."
Song Yuhua said "um", and didn't care, it was not early at this time, she yawned, half-squinted and waved her hand, "Dad, Mom, Second Aunt, it's so late, the weather is cold, let's talk tomorrow." ”
"It's okay or fine."
Because there was no extra room in the house, and now that it was so late, it was impossible to go to another house to spend the night, so Song Yuhua could only squeeze into a one-meter-two small bed with Song Ergu's back.
The already small bed is even more cramped for two people, and it is difficult to even turn over, although it is a tired day during the day, but at this time it is impossible to sleep after tossing and turning.
Looking at the black ceiling, there was a rotten and mildew smell in the air, Song Yuhua sighed lightly, shrunk into the quilt, and closed his eyes.
When she woke up again, Song Yuhua was woken up, she was the only one left in the room, she knew when Song Ergu went out, but she didn't want to get up, so she pretended not to wake up.
But at this time, she listened to the movement outside, and the lively sound of many people talking, thinking that it was a guest at home, so it was not good for her to continue to lie in bed.
When I walked out of the room, I saw several relatives and neighbors, sitting in the lobby, eating fried peanuts with melon seeds, and sprinkling a crust on the ground, which showed that they had been here for a while. Through the gate, you can see that there are also people in the courtyard.
As soon as Song Yuhua appeared, the seven aunts and eight aunts turned their heads to say hello, and excitedly asked her about the school and the city.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Song Yuhua called people one by one, and went to the kitchen to find hot water to wash his face and something that could cushion his stomach.
When everything was cleaned up, Song Yuhua found that Song Yaozu was not there, and after asking, he realized that he hadn't gotten up yet.
Unexpectedly, she had a good night's sleep, and there were people who could stay in bed better than her.
Song Minggen went to the town to buy meat and vegetables, and at noon, there were two tables of people sitting in the courtyard.
Originally, he planned to go to Gu Jun's house today, but until the evening, there were still guests at home, so Song Yuhua had to give up.
In the evening, after all the guests had left, Lin Xiaofang took Song Yaozu's hand, "Good son, how much money did you make in the city?" Take it out and show it to Mom. ”
Song Yaozu has worked for less than two months, and that little salary has already been squandered by him, where can he still get it. With a roll of his eyes, the disaster led to the east, "My sister is rich!" ”
Song Yuhua, who had just come back from washing dishes in the kitchen, was stunned, his brows were not wrinkled, and he only said lightly: "I earned the tuition fee for the next semester, you don't have to give me any more money." ”
Song Minggen on the side sighed lightly, "Good boy, I've suffered you." ”
Lin Xiaofang pouted, as if she was reluctant to pay the money, and it was difficult to speak.
Song Yaozu let out a "hitch", his face changed slightly, and he just wanted to say that his sister had money, but before he could say anything, he was glared at by Song Yuhua, and received the threat in his eyes, so he had to keep his mouth shut obediently.
Song Yuhua gave him a blank look, turned around and entered the house.
The next day, Song Yuhua, who was finally free, was about to go out with the things he bought for Gu Jun's parents, when Lin Xiaofang's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Where are you going? And with so many things! ”
Song Yuhua felt that the second half of her sentence was the point. Secretly rolled his eyes, "Don't go anywhere, Gu Jun asked me to bring something to his parents, and I will send it." ”
Lin Xiaofang frowned, her face was full of suspicion, and she looked at the thing in her hand with a little greed, "It was really Gu Jun who bought it, not you?" ”
There was displeasure in her eyes, as if as long as Song Yuhua said that she bought it, Lin Xiaofang would immediately snatch the things over and not let them out of the house.
Song Yuhua didn't want to explain too much, so he only said: "Gu Jun bought it." Now I can go, right? ”
Lin Xiaofang pursed her lips, obviously wanting to say something, but Song Yuhua didn't want to listen anymore, so she turned around and left.
When they came to Gu Jun's house, Gu's father and Gu's brother were chopping firewood in the dam in front of the door, and the two big men were wearing the same gray sweater, and at a glance, they knew that it was hand-woven by Gu's mother.
When the two saw Song Yuhua, they shouted into the house, and then familiarly let Song Yuhua go in by himself.
Song Yuhua smiled and nodded at the two, called someone, turned around and stepped into the threshold, and shouted: "Aunt Wan-"
Gu's mother Tao Wan, who was wearing an apron, walked out quickly, put aside the feather duster stained with dust and cobwebs in her hands, happily grabbed Song Yuhua's hands, and the next moment she saw the things in her hands, her brows furrowed, "You are here, what else do you bring, come in and sit." ”
Song Yuhua grinned, "That's not good, I, this is to give you a New Year's greeting in advance, I wish Aunt Wan you happiness and happiness, and you will live younger and younger." ”
Tao Wan was amused, "Just you can talk." ”
The gifts brought were placed on the table, Tao Wan took Song Yuhua's hand and asked her if she was okay in Rongcheng alone, and told her that if she encountered any difficulties, she could write back, and they would try to help.
Song Yuhua was very moved when he heard this, even Lin Xiaofang and Song Minggen had never said these words.
His eyes were a little sour, Song Yuhua blinked, collected the water in his eyes, and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Aunt Wan." ”
After that, he suddenly remembered one of the purposes of coming today, and took out an envelope from his pocket, "Aunt Wan, this is Gu Jun's letter to you." ”
Tao Wan's eyes widened suddenly, and her face was full of surprise, "Really, show me quickly." He took the envelope, opened it quickly, and saw that there was not only stationery inside, but also several pieces of money.
"This kid, keep the money for yourself, what do you do when you send it back." Tao Wan scolded with a smile, took out the letter paper, it was full of words, and she couldn't help but secretly annoy that she was illiterate.
He handed the letter over again, "Yuhua, read it to me." ”
Father Gu, who was coming in to drink water, saw it and came over curiously, "What?" ”
Tao Wan didn't raise her head, "Jun'er's letter." ”
When Father Gu heard this, the pace that he was about to walk out suddenly stopped.
Song Yuhua chuckled, his eyes fell on the letter, his lips opened lightly, and he began to read the letter, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, I'm sorry, I can't come back for the Spring Festival this time...... My son is not filial, I hope you take care of your health and wait for me to come back. Finally, out of a little selfishness, I hope you can help me take care of Yuhua, so that she will not be bullied by the villagers. ”
At the end of the chatter, Song Yuhua couldn't help blushing, this Gu Jun is really, how can he write this in a letter to his parents, she is very good in the village, who can bully her?
After folding the letter and returning it, Song Yuhua lowered his head in shame, "Aunt Wan, don't listen to his nonsense, no one bullies me." ”
Tao Wan put the letter back and quipped with a smile on her face: "That's not good, we must listen to our son's orders, otherwise he won't blame us if his daughter-in-law runs away, do you say it's Lao Gu." ”
Father Gu, who was not smiling, nodded in agreement, "Yes, Yuhua will stay and eat later." After that, without waiting for Song Yuhua to answer, he turned around and went out to chop firewood.
Song Yuhua was so ashamed that his ears were red, he pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, "I won't run." ”
