It's time to report safety to the family for another week, and when I turn on my phone in the evening, Mr. Leaf has a reply: a frustrated person.

After a long time, An Wan and Mr. Leaf became each other's tree holes, and An Wan told him where he was teaching and how sweet the children here smiled every day.

Mr. Leaf told about the changes in the city, and when autumn comes, the ginkgo biloba leaves sprinkle on the ground are very beautiful.

An Wan said that it would snow a lot in Ningxiang in winter, and it would be white everywhere, and she and Zhizhi were the only ones at home during the school holidays hiding in the house to warm up. It was boring at first, but then she began to study cooking, and now the garden is full of her own vegetables, and she feels that she is very successful, and Zhizhi will follow along.

Mr. Leaves said that he was in the city and could not see heavy snow.

Zhizhi is growing taller day by day, as if recording the passage of time, it has been three years since An Wan went to Ningxiang to teach, the oldest child has been admitted to the county high school a few years ago, Zhizhi has been in the sixth grade of primary school, and he will go to the town to study junior high school in another year, and he often learns eleven or twelve o'clock at night.

At sunset that day, An Wan received a call, and Xiaohan said, "Sister, come back quickly." ”

An Wan was eating roasted corn, "What's wrong?" You're also part of the marriage urging group? In the second year of An Wan's arrival in Ningxiang, Yang Xiaoyun urged her to go back on a blind date every week.

"No, it's our mother's illness." Xiao Han explained.

An night put down the roasted corn: "What? Really sick? How did you get sick? ”

"I don't know why, I was fine yesterday, but this morning I lost my energy and collapsed in the kitchen."

An Wan hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go back immediately, you take good care of her first." ”

Zhizhi heard that An Wan was going home sullen, locked himself in the room, An Wan knocked on the door without making a sound, and opened the door directly, "I have to go home these days, if you are scared, go to Grandma Liu's house for a few days, okay?" ”

Zhizhi's pen kept writing without answering.

"My mom is sick and I have to go back to see her."

Zhizhi suddenly hugged An Wan's waist and said, "I don't want to be alone." ”

An Wan touched the child's head: "Don't worry, you are not alone, Zhizhi has friends at school, and neighbors like Zhizhi very much." ”

That night, he went to the village chief's house and told him that he was going home, and by the way, he asked him to take care of him. There are other teachers besides her at the school, so don't worry.

The village chief was simple, "Don't worry, you can live in my house, he is a good boy." ”

The child tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, he didn't know if An Wan would come back, and if he didn't come back, he would be alone again.

The next morning, before dawn and evening, she packed her belongings and was ready to go, she glanced at the sleeping child, covered him with the quilt, and then closed the door and left. All I could hear in the room was the child crying, he really, really didn't want to be alone.

An Wan bowed deeply in front of the photos of her grandmother and grandfather, and then went to catch the morning bus. The driver is still the same as a few years ago, with a lot of gray hair on his temples, patiently reminding every passenger in the car to fasten their seat belts.

The once bumpy mud road has been transformed by the government into a winding concrete road, and it is no longer potholed on rainy days.

In the past few years, Ningxiang has indeed undergone a lot of changes, and the greatest credit should be attributed to the newly appointed village party secretary, who led the villagers to open up various ways to get rich, plant fruit trees, and establish tourist attractions, and everyone worked together.

Some young people who are working outside have heard that their hometown is improving, and they have come back to do their part, and now Ningxiang is like a paradise.

An night's motion sickness has not changed, the bus just turned a few corners, her mouth was full of sour water, and her stomach turned over for a while. I closed my eyes in a daze, the end point of the car was the county seat, and I had to take the train for nearly three hours to go back to Xicheng.

Leaning on the window to look at the scenery along the way, opposite sat a woman holding a baby, the child cried all the way, the woman carried her back and forth in the aisle, and finally fell asleep. An Wan took out a lollipop from her bag and gave it to the woman, saying that it could tease the child, and the woman took it and thanked her.

The two chatted all the way, and An Wan learned that she and her husband were divorced and were a single mother. An Wan sighed, it turned out that everyone was not having a good time, but they were too lazy to say it.

Yang Xiaoyun was lying on the hospital bed, He Yuan was by her side, the nurse changed her drip, An Wan walked into the ward, hurriedly put down her luggage and walked to Yang Xiaoyun's side, and asked how she could get sick?

Yang Xiaoyun was naturally happy when she saw her daughter, her eyes were smiling, and she said that it was okay, it was all Xiaohan making a big fuss. The nurse also smiled, told An Wan that Yang Xiaoyun was just ordinary anemia, turned her head and asked, "This is your daughter, right?" You're blessed. ”

Yang Xiaoyun touched An Wan's hair and replied with a smile: "It's my daughter, who has been teaching in the countryside for the past few years, and she doesn't know how to come back to see me." The last half of the sentence has a complaining tone.

"Then your daughter is amazing, there are few like her now." The nurse nodded to An Wan, smiled slightly, and then went out with medical supplies.

An Wan's eyebrows tightened: "Mom, don't you usually take good care of yourself, and you call me every week, but you collapsed." ”

He turned his head and said to He Yuan: "Uncle He, go back and rest, I'll stay and take care of it, presumably you are tired in the past few days."

He Yuan is delighted that children are sensible and filial piety is the best comfort to their parents.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Han came in with a thermos bucket, this kid is really tall, not to mention one meter eighty-two, An Wan got up and stood in front of him, saw his feet from head to tot, and shook his head, "I'm afraid it's a genetic mutation!" Why did you kid grow so tall? ”

Xiao Han was not happy when she heard this: "What kind of genetic mutation, is this personality charm, okay, there are many girls who like me now." ”

Xiaohan put down the thermos bucket in his hand, hugged An Wan and said coquettishly like a child: "Sister, I miss you." ”

An Wan patted him on the back, and suddenly a sadness welled up in her heart, her younger brother who loves ice cream has grown up, "I miss you too." ”

Although there are a lot of laughter and laughter in Ningxiang in the past few years, in the dead of night, looking at the full moon in the sky, you will feel homesick at night.

An evening opened his room, everything has not changed, even the position has not been moved, there is an extra pot of pothos on the table, Xiaohan said that Yang Xiaoyun will clean the room every week and change the sheets and quilts regularly.

Xiaohan was still in college, and he studied medicine with his original intention, and went back to school that afternoon.

An Wan stewed chicken soup and sent it to the hospital, Yang Xiaoyun took a sip and looked at An Wan with suspicious eyes, "You did this?" Or did you buy it outside? ”

An evening embarrassment, doesn't my mother even trust this little bit? Your daughter has been on her own in the countryside for three years, "Of course I did it, and now I'm a good cook." ”

He Yuan smiled: "Then you have to try Xiaowan's craftsmanship when you go back." ”

An Wan raised her eyebrows: "Okay." ”
