Chapter 18: Surprise
Liu Xiaoxiao saw Zhang Daxian beside him looking at the distant mountains without making a sound, and her heart went up and down, thinking that she was too reckless, she frightened him, and thought about a lot of words, but she still didn't know how to say it, so she rubbed her face sadly, and said at the end, "Oops! Sick of it! He got up and stomped his feet in front of Zhang Daxian, and went downstairs in a panic.
Zhang Daxian shook his head, smashed his mouth, and said to himself, "Zhongzhou University, it's enough!" Pick up your phone and glance at the time, then get up and walk to the staircase, "Mom! Lao Zhu and Lao Ding are almost here, how are they preparing? β
"Let's live!" Chen Xianglan walked out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, glanced at Liu Xiaoxiao in a daze under the grape trellis in the yard, shook her head slightly, walked over with a smile, and sat next to her, "The score is not low, are you still worried?" β
"Ahh Liu Xiaoxiao noticed that Chen Xianglan was beside her, and hurriedly got up, but was held down by Chen Xianglan, and she said in a panic, "No, no! I... I'm thinking about my dad! β
Chen Xianglan hugged her and comforted, "When you were so old, I saw my father die in front of me with my own eyes!" I can understand your feelings! β
"Auntie..."Liu Xiaoxiao had a lot of things to say in her heart, but she couldn't say it, and she was silent for a long time before she spoke, "I can't go back to home in the future!" β
"Home?!" Chen Xianglan touched the grape vine beside her, which she brought out when she left home, but she didn't expect that there was a person with the thickness of an arm, and the grapes were eaten season after season, and each season would be sweeter than the previous season, but after swallowing it, she always felt that her mouth was so bitter.
"Putting down roots is home!"
Chen Xianglan didn't know if she was talking about grapes, or herself, or if she was comforting the girl in her arms who knew nothing and barely survived.
"Auntie, thank you, I understand!" Liu Xiaoxiao got up and bowed to Chen Xianglan, "I'll get a Coke for Minye!" β
Looking at the shadow that disappeared and reappeared, and disappeared again, like a butterfly, Chen Xianglan thought of her sister, if those people back then could be as benevolent as they say, maybe she is still alive now.
But nothing can go back, she has been distressed, painful, crazy, cold-blooded...... Trampling those people under their feet and asking them for an explanation, but so what?
"It's over, it's over!" Chen Xianglan picked a tender grape leaf and put it in her mouth, the taste was green and sour, just like her former self.
"Anyway, what's going on over there?" Chen Xianglan pushed open the door of the backyard and saw Zhang Zai starting to clean up the things on the ground, "Teacher, and Minye's classmates are coming!" β
She stepped forward, tore off the handkerchief around her waist, wiped the sweat from her forehead for Zhang Zai, and set up the collar of her shirt for him, and walked back to the yard with his hand.
"Alas! I'm tired of Lao Tzu! Zhang Zai said this, or first pulled out a chair for Chen Xianglan to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and then poured it for himself, after taking a sip, he tilted his head, "You rabbit cub is more uncle than Lao Tzu, hurry down and beat Lao Tzu's legs and pinch his shoulders, I'm tired of Lao Tzu!" β
Zhang Daxian glanced at his mobile phone, but he didn't see Fan Taotao replying to the message, and after deleting the record, he took the mobile phone, got up and went downstairs, "I said I'll do it, but you won't let me!" As for people, they have to obey the old, but they can't obey the old! He is as energetic as his Lao Tzu, but he still honestly pinched his shoulder, and he also knew that his father had a shoulder problem.
Liu Xiaoxiao came up to replace Zhang Daxian, but was stopped by Chen Xianglan, "You go and clean up, Auntie made you a dress, you try it!" She pulled Liu Xiaoxiao into the house and went back to the house.
Zhang Zai watched his wife leave with Liu Xiaoxiao, and said to his son, "How is it?" Have you thought about it? β
"Where?"
Listening to his son's tone, Zhang Zai also knew that there was no need to talk about life and feelings, and it was a waste of saliva to say it, "Professional!" β
"I've thought about it a long time ago!"
"Tell me about it!"
"Environmental science," Zhang Daxian squeezed his hands a little tired, so he stopped, and Zhang Zai did it beside him, "I like this comprehensive subject." β
"What about the school's opinion?"
"They selected three teachers for me in advance, and asked me to choose one!"
"What do you mean?" Zhang Zai was interested.
"The competition and the current results are combined, and they have decided to admit me to study for a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree!" Zhang Daxian said.
"You kid, why are you hiding it from me, does your mother know?" Zhang Zai is really happy.
"That's why I just saw the notification!" Zhang Daxian said and handed the mobile phone to Zhang Zai, and then clicked on the link in the message sent to him by the admissions teacher, "Wow! Published list! β
"Have a drink?" Zhang Zai said to his son with a smile, he was so happy in his heart!
"Surprise my mom first!" Zhang Daxian grinned, his big white teeth shining.
"You wait for me, I'll get something!"
Zhang Zai got up and went to the backyard, and when he came back, he had an extra object in his hand. When his father walked in, Zhang Daxian saw that it was a delicate and unusual stone box.
"How's that!" Zhang Zai said proudly.
"Not bad!"
"What is good, it should be ingenious!"
"My mother doesn't like jewelry very much, this box is probably just an ornament, do you want to put your phone?" Zhang Daxian's eyes lit up.
"Think beautiful," Zhang Zai took back the box, "There is a hairpin inside, I secretly carved it for a long time!" β
Chen Xianglan came out of the house, and just saw the two of them meeting head to head and chatting energetically, "What are you talking about!" So energetic! β
βSurpriseοΌβ
Father and son knelt down on one knee, one holding the stone box in one hand and the other on the phone.
Chen Xianglan smiled and took the box and mobile phone, and did not forget to kiss the father and son on the forehead, which was regarded as a reward, "Let me see the surprise of my baby son!" β
"Password!" Chen Xianglan handed the phone with a black screen to Zhang Daxian.
"Look at mine first, look at mine first," Zhang Zai opened the stone box, took out the hairpin inside, and handed it to Chen Xianglan, "Why don't I hold it for you?" β
"I'll take a look!" Chen Xianglan took the hairpin and looked at it carefully, and looked at the tears that fell, "In other words, thank you!" β
The hairpin is an ordinary hairpin, but Zhang Zai uses miniature carving technology to engrave Chen Xianglan's parents and her sister and brother, as well as him and Zhang Daxian, and he fulfilled his wife's wish in this way - reunion!
Hearing the door behind him creak and be pushed open, Chen Xianglai quickly stopped crying, wiped away his tears, and said to Zhang Daxian with a smile, "Let your mother see your surprise!" β
Zhang Daxian took his mobile phone and showed the page he clicked on to his mother.
"Son! Have a vision, or in that kind of long-term vision! Chen Xianglan hugged her son, "Thank you, Minya!" Mom is so happy to have you! β
"Daxian Daxian, are you ready for wine? I want to have a good drink! β
Zhang Zai looked at Zhang Daxian, his eyes seemed to say, who is this, more dragged than Lao Tzu?
"One of my old irons, Zhu Dake!" The corners of Zhang Daxian's mouth trembled.
It turned out to be a hairy boy! Zhang Zai smiled and went to open the door.
