Chapter 4 The hard-working mother Ai

In the early hours of the morning, in a daze, Ai Xue heard Lu Tao's voice calling softly in his ear. After muttering something in a low voice, Ai Xuexue immediately got up. People can wait for people, but cars can't wait for people.

It's 6:20, and the dorm door won't open in 10 minutes. And these ten minutes are reserved for Ai to learn to wash and pack his schoolbag, and he must not have brought his homework, but he brought some change of clothes. Ai Xuexue can do laundry, it's just a matter of whether it's clean or not. Fortunately, Ai's mother has now quit her job, and her barber career has also given up since she moved, so she stays at home and does housework.

Ai Xuejia's house was bought in a newly developed community for a few years, and the surrounding park square has just been repaired, and the house price has risen a little.

The home is in a town, and it is a newly developed community that has not been developed for a long time, so it naturally has an advantage, that is, there are many mountains around, that is, there is soil. Ai Xuexue's grandparents were out-and-out farmers, and if they had soil, they would not starve to death. As the inheritor of this skill, Ai's mother naturally has no need to talk about technology.

In addition, this is not a big city, and the residents in the community have become familiar with each other over time, and as long as there are enough people, then nothing matters. For Ai's mother, who has suffered hardships, dealing with it is the easiest thing.

Ai's mother borrowed a piece of land for free from a left-behind elderly man and bought a lot of vegetable seeds in the vegetable market. Every morning, Ai's mother and her old sisters would carry hoes and baskets on their backs to clear up the wasteland and weed on the mountainside not far away.

Since then, Ai Xue's family has been self-sufficient by not buying vegetables from outside. It is both a real natural green and a seasonal vegetable. In addition to vegetables, Ai's mother also grows watermelons, cucumbers, winter melons, and pumpkins. However, the special geographical location of Chongqing makes the watermelons grown by Ai's mother not particularly sweet, but they have a different taste compared with the melons outside.

Ai studied very fast, and when the life teacher opened the door of the dormitory, he met with Zhou Nan Lutao and them on time.

"Do you think you will have a vacation after this monthly exam?" Ai Xuexue asked Zhou Nan that the homeroom teacher of Class 15 likes to tell the students in the class about the recent arrangements, and the news channels of their class are a little more reliable than those of other classes.

Zhou Nan pushed his eyes, shook his head and said, "I heard the teacher say that the grade attaches great importance to the first monthly exam, and after the exam on Thursday, they will ask for the results to be released by Friday afternoon." Then the parent-teacher conference will be held directly on Friday next week, and the parents will take it back directly as a holiday. ”

"It's so scary, the results will be out the next day." Lu Tao was surprised, this revision speed was several times faster than that of junior high school.

The three of them slowly walked towards the west gate of the school, where there was a bus stop, and it was easier for them to take the bus.

At half-past six, the sky was bright. After all, the autumnal equinox has not yet arrived, and the daylight arrives a little earlier than winter. On the way to school, there were not only three Ai Xue, but also other students who went home. Of course, there are also some retired old men who get up early to run.

There is an artificial lake between the dormitory of Ai study and the north and south buildings of the school, there is also a pavilion in the lake, there are many creatures in the lake, snakes are not rare, the history of the lake has a long history, which can be traced back to the Anti-Japanese War. Although the teaching quality of the school Ai Xuexue is no longer as brave as it used to be, the scenery can be in the top five in the entire Chongqing high school, and the area is the same.

Ai's high school entrance examination was also taken here, and his junior high school homeroom teacher emphasized when he took them to take the high school entrance examination: "You will live there for three days, you can visit around, there is an artificial lake, be careful." I want to emphasize that you should not be like your brothers and sisters, who even made a fishing rod to fish in that lake. You're going there to take the exam, not some farmhouse. ”

At first, Ai Xuexue didn't understand why the school kept fish and didn't let people catch them, but later found out this reason in the cafeteria.

Walk through the artificial lake, walk past a century-old tree, and walk through a small playground to the West Gate.

There is a long downhill oil road with a slope of about 30 degrees at the west gate, and it is said that this road was built by a local tyrant who invested millions of dollars in order for his children to study in this school.

There was a petite girl standing at the door of the West Gate, with short hair, if she was petite, she would be like a Lori.

"I've been waiting for a while, there's no way who calls the girl's natural advantage, begging the life aunt to open the door in a few words, unlike us, it's all old men, and it's vicious." Ai Xuexue said this, and he was still very grateful to the old man in his heart, after all, if he could beg to open the door, then who knows how long it would take him to get up.

The girl is Xiang Yue, now she is in the same class as Zhou Nan, she used to study with Ai, and Lu Tao is in the same class. Unlike Ai Xuexue, she has been the first.

"I can't be as stupid as last time, and I've only been out for a long time." Xiang Yue's tone likes to have a post-nasal tone, which is why Ai Xuexue likes to talk to her.

"I think there are a lot of people today, so let's take a taxi. Four people can't share much money. Zhou Nan looked at the Ximen bus station, and there were many people at this point.

The other three nodded in agreement, and everything was familiar with the road. But now is not the Didi era, you have to take an honest roadside taxi.

One side of the water and soil to support the other side of the people, in other words, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains. Naturally, schools create vendors. The North Gate is a famous place for the school to eat, with a variety of bubble tea shops, billiard rooms, and vegetable shops. Every year, I make enough money in these months, and then I have a three-month vacation during the winter and summer vacations, of course, the business is not good to the outside world, but the small life is still very comfortable internally.

Simon, on the other hand, is a paradise for taxi drivers, who are familiar with the school's holiday schedule and can also estimate the time when students will need it.

In just a few minutes, Zhou Nan recruited a taxi. I didn't discuss with the master and got on the bus directly. It's the golden time, and many masters don't want to run this kind of 20-kilometer list, and they like to pick up and drop off nearby and come back in a hurry. But you can refuse outside the car, but inside the car is a different story.

A few people chatted without a word, and in half an hour, they arrived at the place. Ai Xue and Zhou Nan live in the same place, but Zhou Nan is in Area A, and Ai Xue is in Area B.

On the way, Ai Xuexue did not have an in-depth communication with Zhou Nan, and everyone needed to go home early to rest, after all, they would go back to school tomorrow.

Dragging his tired body, Ai Xuexue took out the key to open the door, as he expected, Ai's father was sitting on the sofa with a bowl and watching the news, and Ai's mother was calling her sisters to meet the land.

"Didn't you have breakfast, you came back so early." Ai's father handed the bowl in his hand that had not been in his mouth for a long time to Ai Xuexue.

Ai Xue shook his head with a rattle, joking, this must be Ai's mother was distracted when she called, and she put too much sugar, otherwise Ai's father would not have a sweet expression.

Seeing that her baby son who had been away for a week was back, Ai's mother was still very happy, but when she saw the bulging schoolbag behind her, she was immediately angry. "You two masters, you know how to find me a job all day long."

After all, he took out his dirty clothes and put them in the bathroom.

At half past seven, Ai's father reluctantly finished reading the advertisement and had to go to work. Although it is a factory run by its own partnership, it still needs to be an example. Tardiness is a must-have.

Ai's mother went to see the sisters with a basket on her back and a hoe.

"By the way, good son, remember to help mom wash the dishes for a while." Ai's mother, who went and returned, dropped a sentence and walked away.

Ai Xuexue, who was already asleep on the sofa, could not hear it.
