It has been a few days since the high school entrance examination on June 17, and the wheat in the field will be ready to be harvested soon.

Xia Lan went to school early to get her junior high school graduation certificate, the graduation certificate is A4 paper size, the format is somewhat similar to the award of her own time and space, it reads: Graduation certificate four big characters, and the following reads: Student: Meng Xiaohua, Department: Annan Province and City, Puning City and County People are now age: Shiwu years old, and the grades are qualified at the end of the junior high school study period in this school, and the graduation certificate is granted. In the lower right corner is the signature of the principal, Xu Zhenqiang, with the date June 1955, and a one-inch black and white photo on the left

It's still early to get home, Xia Lan put a pound of pork bought in the town in the kitchen, and then went into the house and said: "Mother, let's make steamed buns at noon, tomorrow my brother will come back to harvest together, let's make some good supplements after working so hard, otherwise how can the body survive such a strong job." ”

Hearing this, Wang Xiuyun smiled and quipped: "It must be the gluttony in your stomach that has committed it again, okay, when I finish sewing this bag, let's wrap the buns at noon." ”

Xia Lan unfolded her graduation certificate and put it in front of her mother: "Mother, look at my graduation certificate, do you look good at the photos I took?" ”

Wang Xiuyun took the graduation certificate in her hand and looked at it seriously: "It looks good, my Huahua is getting more and more handsome." ”

"Of course, it doesn't depend on who gave birth to it, I'm genetic." Xia Lan said mischievously to her mother.

"Go and put this diploma in the back room," he said, bowing his head and sewing the bag he needed to hold the wheat.

At noon, she made celery pork buns, Xia Lan took the initiative to take over the job of chopping the meat trap, and put some more in it while her mother didn't see it, and the two of them had a beautiful meal at noon. Since her brother got his salary and went home, there was no pressure on her mother to no longer deduct and search, plus her secret subsidy points, her family's living standard has skyrocketed.

On the morning of the second day, Wang Xiuyun warmed up the buns and boiled rice porridge, mixed a cucumber with side dishes, and just sat down to prepare for dinner when he saw his son come back.

"Just made a meal, Xiaolei quickly washed his hands and ate quickly" Wang Xiuyun got up and brought dishes and chopsticks to his son.

Xia Lan looked at Meng Xiaolei and said, "Brother, you are whiter than me now."

Meng Xiaolei has eaten well since he went to work, and he doesn't have to do heavy work in the sun all day long, and his body nutrition has kept up again, and now he has a proper little fresh meat.

Meng Xiaolei smiled and said, "How can there be?" I think you're pretty again, little sister."

Wang Xiuyun: "You two don't play poor, hurry up and come over to eat." ”

The brother and sister sat at the dinner table and smiled at each other and ate silently.

At present, the land is not collectively owned, each family is divided into land according to the capitation, the people's commune of the production brigade has not yet been established, and there are not many people in her family of three who have one acre and two points of land.

The autumn harvest is the top priority for the farmers, and the whole family goes into battle, and when Wang Xiuyun's family arrives in the field, someone has already started harvesting in the field.

A few hours later, Xia Lan wiped the sweat on her face and wanted to spit out the fragrance, she has been exercising every day since she got better, and at the moment she still feels that she is about to be led, seeing that her mother and her brother are like a machine bending over with a sickle to cut wheat, what she does is the easy work of breaking the wheat into a bundle, no matter how Xia Lan scolds the sky and scolds in her heart, the summer harvest is still in full swing, Xia Lan exhaled and bent down to continue working.

Three days later, the intense harvest work finally came to an end, just waiting for the public grain to be paid, and Xia Lan's brother also returned to the county seat to work.

After a rain in June, it was time to sow seeds, and Xia Lan's new round of work was also put on the agenda.

Three acres and six points of land were planted with corn, and pits were dug, filled, and pits every day...... Xia Lan worked with her mother for two days, she felt that her arm was about to be scrapped, thinking of the autumn harvest Xia Lan's scalp was numb, she had read the history of this time and space on the Internet, and knew that 1957 would usher in the era of big pot rice, and then everything would be a collective system, and then it would be three years of self-righteousness, of course, disaster, and harm, she had to take advantage of the fact that it was not too tight now, and quickly bought a house to find a way to get her mother to the city.

On July 5th, Xia Lan received the admission notice of Kaiyang County High School sent by the village chief, thank the village chief Xia Lan happily took the notice back to the house and entered the space to prepare for the start of school.

Wang Xiuyun was very happy to hear the news after going home, although her daughter repeatedly told her that she would definitely be admitted, but it was still too late to see the notice.

School started on August 20th, there is still more than a month to go, Wang Xiuyun has almost prepared the things that her daughter needs, and now the weather is tropical and the bed is thin and the quilt is just a list, and three sets of clothes have been newly made, enough to change and wash, and two pairs of single shoes.

Xia Lan looked at her mother's busy appearance, and there was an indescribable satisfaction, and her heart was warm. When she was a child, her parents divorced and didn't want to take her this oil bottle, her parents left her at the door of the orphanage at the age of seven, and she was extremely sensitive to the eyes of others since she was a child, thanks to Xiaobai for allowing her to have such a good family, although she is very satisfied without a father.

When Meng Xiaolei went home with his salary last month, Wang Xiuyun asked Meng Xiaolei to go home on the evening of August 19, so that he could send his sister to school the next day.

After dinner the next day, Xia Lan and Meng Xiaolei left Shangwa Village under the eyes of her mother, Xia Lan looked back at her mother's lonely figure, and felt sour and reluctant in her heart, thinking that she must save enough money early to borrow her mother.

After half an hour's journey, the brother and sister finally arrived at the county seat......
