Hearing my uncle's voice, my mother immediately greeted her, took the schoolbag and put it on the chair, and beckoned my uncle to enter the table, making my uncle look like a guest.

As before, my mother and her younger brother sat under the table, as was the tradition in the family, with the elders sitting at the top, facing the main door of the hall, and the lower side facing away from the door.

"This is Xiaoxiao, right? It's all so big! Uncle looked at me and said.

"Why are you back late today? I know your sister and they're coming back, it's so late! Let's eat. Grandma said in a reproachful tone.

"The teacher talked a little longer." The uncle replied while chopping rice.

"Eat slowly! Don't choke. Mom patted my uncle on the back.

Everyone laughed at the way he gobbled up, and within a few minutes he put down his chopsticks.

"There's still time, sister, I'll brag with you for a while." Uncle wiped his mouth with his hand.

"Wen Hao, you're going to take the high school entrance exam this semester, right? What's the plan? Dad asked.

"I want to take the teacher training exam, I don't have to pay money, there is a subsidy, and I don't have to worry about working in the future." The uncle paused, and then said, "But the teacher training test is difficult, and the number of places is limited. ”

"Are you sure?" Mom asked eagerly.

"I don't think there's a problem." Uncle was a little hesitant.

"Have you ever thought about going to military school in the future? I heard that there is no money, there are also subsidies, and those who are also given clothes, will be soldiers in the future. Dad said.

"That's not going to work! Look at your uncle, his legs are like that, and he is still a soldier! Grandma objected.

"Mom! It's different now, I heard from others, saying that it's good to be in the military compound. Dad explained, and said to his grandfather, "Dad, do you think I should take the time to go to the city and ask my uncle?" ”

Grandpa nodded, "You go and ask about the situation first, let's eat." ”

"I have to go, or I'll be late. Sister, brother-in-law, you eat slowly. Xiaoxiao, uncle is leaving. My uncle got up and went to get his bag.

"Wait a minute!" Mom stopped my uncle, "Wait a minute, I brought you a dress, a new one, you can try it." As he spoke, he went to the side room and found the clothes he had brought and asked his uncle to put them on.

My uncle was 1.65 meters tall at that time, as tall as his mother, and he was very upright in his new clothes, so he walked around the house and ran out of the door in his clothes.

"Look at him and be pleased." Grandma said with a smile, and it could be seen that her grandmother was also very happy.

"That's what you sent, Zhantang, for Wen Hao, what do you wear to work?" Grandpa asked worriedly.

"It's okay, Dad, I still have it." Dad fed me a mouthful of rice.

"Yes, Dad, he's still wearing what he sent before, and he'll send it in the future." Mom also comforted my grandfather.

"That's good, that's good." Grandpa nodded as he spoke, "Eat, eat, it's cold." ”

It was already two o'clock after dinner, and I began to feel sleepy, so my father hugged me, wrapped me in his coat, and let me sleep. Mom helped Grandma clean up the dishes, while Dad chatted with Grandpa in the hall. After a while, the kung fu kitchen will be solved, which means that we should go back.

"Dad, you see it's not too early, we'll go back first, and we'll come back another day." Dad picked me up from the chair.

"We're in a hurry, let's stay here for one night, right?" Grandma said, wiping the water on her hands with her apron.

"No, I have to go to work tomorrow in the exhibition hall, and our pigs, I asked Aunt Li to help me feed the lunch meal, and I have to wait for me to go back by myself in the evening." Mom was a little anxious.

"Go back, go back, come back when you're empty." Grandpa is the master.

Grandma looked at what to ask her mother to bring back, and suddenly remembered something, and shouted to her grandfather, "Old man, what about the little chair you made for Xiaoxiao?" ”

"Oh, yes, yes, I'll get it." Grandpa went into his room and came out with a small chair.

Mom was so happy that she took the little chair and began to admire it. Small, with backrests and armrests, smooth, as bright as lacquer, it should have been polished for a long time.

Everyone exchanged a few more pleasantries, and my grandfather sent us out.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, my mother didn't let my grandfather go any further, and my grandfather watched us walk far, far away until we couldn't see it. Before leaving, my grandfather told my father the address of my grandfather's house, and told my father that he must take time to go there to ask about the military academy examination.

During the Chinese New Year, Dad would spend one day a week at home, because he had been working in the factory for three years, and Dad would always say that perseverance is victory. Since then, if Dad meets the market on the day of his home, whether it is Nan County or Zi County, our family of three will go, I will have candy to eat, and occasionally new clothes, it is really a happy thing, if it is Zi County to catch the market that day, we will go to my grandfather's house, and we will come back after lunch.
