Lin Ran's home is the most common kind of rural village in this era, and it is a two-story house built on a homestead by himself.

As soon as Shang Xia walked into the yard, he heard the sound of a rooster crowing, because the rooster suddenly fluttered its wings and rushed over to peck her, and she was almost frightened.

"Shhhh Go away! ”

Lin Ran stomped his foot on the ground hard, and quickly waved his hand at the majestic rooster.

The rooster took two steps back, but his eyes were still fixed on Shang Xia, a stranger, and the yellow hair on his neck rose slightly, making a posture of defending his territory.

"Goo-"

At this time, Lin Ran's mother also heard the movement, and quickly came out and took a thin branch to drive the rooster aside, and then surrounded it with a small fence woven with bamboo.

"If it's scary, I'll kill you and eat you!"

Shang Xia couldn't help but smile kindly when he heard Lin Mu saying to the rooster who still wanted to resist.

This kind of pastoral life, which often appeared in books before, has always been envied by her, but she has never had the opportunity to experience it in person, but she didn't expect to catch up with Lin Ran by mistake this time.

"The girl didn't scare you, did she? This chicken is just disobedient, and the last time a child came, he almost pecked someone, but now it's fine, and it can't run out. ”

"No, no."

Shang Xia hurriedly said.

"That's good, what are you still standing for, come in and sit."

Mother Lin enthusiastically took a lot of food, including melon seeds, peanuts and dried sweet potatoes.

"I made this dried sweet potato with my own hands, but it's sweet, you can taste it."

"Well, Auntie, this is really delicious."

This dried sweet potato is very chewy and very sweet, and it looks like a good sweet potato when you make it.

"If you like it, go back and bring more, the sun is good these days, and Auntie has done a lot."

The two of them chatted happily, but Lin Ran on the side was not so relaxed.

Ever since he knew the news that Shang Xia was coming, he had always been a little apprehensive in his heart.

He knew that although Shang Xia's family conditions were not good, he also lived in the city, and his father was still a small leader of a factory, and his mother used to be a son of a factory.

And his home is in the countryside, his mother is just an ordinary peasant woman, he loves his mother who raised him alone, and he also cares about Shang Xia, no matter how calm he usually is, he is also a little worried that Shang Xia will not look down on his family at this moment.

But before he could talk to Shang Xia, Shang Xia had already gone to his mother to get some vegetable leaves, and while asking for advice, he tore up the vegetable leaves and scattered them on the ground for the chickens to eat.

As soon as I saw that there was food, the chickens that had been scattered everywhere looking for insects to eat rushed over, and you and I quickly ate up the vegetable leaves on the ground in one bite.

"The chicken hasn't been fed yet, so eat fast."

Lin Mu said as she dragged out a back basket, which was full of green grass.

"Auntie, what is this?"

"This is the grass that we cut on the side of the road, and we all use this to feed the chickens. I was supposed to feed some corn chips, but there were many chickens at home, and they couldn't withstand such a big consumption, so I replaced some with some grass. ”

Lin Mu said as she took the grass out of the basket and chopped it with a knife.

"You go in and sit, and it's okay to burn it three or two times, don't stain your clothes."

Because the chickens were making a lot of trouble, Mother Lin could only solve the chicken food first.

"Auntie, I'm fine."

Shang Xia looked at it for a while, and found that Lin Mu had chopped the grass and put it in the food bowl, and she also found a small bench to sit on the side to help.

Of course, Mother Lin didn't allow her to work, but she couldn't resist her insistence, and finally had to smile and say, "What a good boy." ”

Mother Lin's work was taken over by Shang Xia, so she made time to burn the fire and prepare pig food.

They had two pigs, both of which were kept in a stone-built pigsty next to the house, and they ate several large pots of food every day.

Shang Xia moved quickly, cut a pot of grass in a few clicks, Lin Ran came over and put the pot outside, and a group of chickens ran over to grab food.

"Let's wash our hands."

Lin Ran put a basin of clean water on the simple laundry table made of stone slabs in front of the door, and every household in their village has such a laundry table.

Shang Xia's hands were stained with a lot of grass juice, so he didn't shirk.

"How did you do in the previous assessment?"

Lin Ran nodded, "There was no mistake. ”

With just one sentence, Shang Xia knew that he was nine out of ten.

Yangcheng No. 1 Middle School is the first in the grade, as long as there are no mistakes, there is absolutely no problem with the heavy book.

"What about you?"

"In previous years, the heavy line was 530 to 550, but this time I played extraordinary, and I should have exceeded the heavy line a lot. I'm not sure if I had a problem with my previous assessment, though. ”

After all, Huaqing is not an ordinary university, even Shang Xia has to be more cautious.

The current college entrance examination is still a mode of evaluating scores and filling in volunteers, not the kind of volunteers who look at the scores and then apply for volunteers, so if you are not careful, it may cause very serious consequences.

Moreover, the examination from '95 to '99 was a three-plus-two model, with raw scores and standard scores.

The conversion between the original and standard scores is different for each province, and if there is a mistake in the assessment, the error will be even greater.

Therefore, Shang Xia thought about matching the answers with Lin Ran again to improve the accuracy of the assessment.

As soon as Lin Ran heard this, he took out a notebook and wrote and drew on it with Shang Xia.

Mother Lin boiled the pig food on the stew, and when she came in and saw the two children so close, her heart was as sweet as honey.

Shang Xia helped her work as soon as she came, which left an excellent first impression in her heart - this child has a good temperament and is down-to-earth.

After carefully calculating, the stone in Shang Xia's heart fell a little.

On the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination, there may be thousands of people separated by a point, and she doesn't dare to hold it up.

It was also at this time that she had the opportunity to take a good look at Lin Ran's room, the things in the room were very simple, there was only a bed and a table, and then there was a wooden box next to it, with red, red, green and green patterns on it.

"This one is for clothes."

Lin Ran stretched out his hand and grabbed a buckle in the middle of the box, and when he lifted it up, the top of the box was lifted up.

"I know, my mom has one too."

I heard that the box was one of her mother's dowry.

"Hmm...... Shang Xia, what do you think ......?"

"What?"

Seeing Lin Ran talking in a hurry, Shang Xia turned his head to look at him.

Lin Ran was a little uncomfortable stared at by her, and turned his head away with a light cough.

"It's fine. We only get back to the city three times a day, so if you want to go back, you can only take the afternoon trip. ”

"I know", Shang Xia smiled, "Haven't you had lunch yet?" ”

She didn't even see anything on the table when she came in.

At this time, most people do not have a refrigerator at home, so every meal will be placed on the table, covered with a cover, and then the next meal will be hot.

Lin Ran's eyes flashed, "Well, there's something delayed and I haven't had time to do it yet." ”

At this time, Shang Xia suddenly smelled the sweet sweet potato smell in the air, and when he asked, he realized that the pig's food was mixed with boiled sweet potatoes and bran feed.

After Shang Xia saw that Mother Lin had done it once, he could help mix another bucket of pig food.

"You're such a clever girl, you learn everything fast."

"What's the matter, it's my aunt who taught me well, otherwise I'm sure I don't even know how to hold a spoon."

It is a long big spoon that is mixed with pig food, and Shang Xia has really never used it or seen it.

After mixing, the pig food was very heavy, Shang Xia and Lin Mu carried a bucket, and Lin Ran carried the other bucket to the front of the pigsty alone.

As soon as the two white and chubby pigs heard the movement, they snapped and stood up, screaming to eat.

Mother Lin skillfully scooped the pig's food into a stone trough made of stones, and the two pigs ate wet and dappy feed flying around, so that the pigs' noses were full of chaff.

Shang Xia thought it was interesting, so he stood by and watched for a while, and learned to feed the pigs.

Lin Ran watched from the sidelines, and a warmth rose from the bottom of his heart.

Because there are chickens in the garden, there will be a smell of chicken feathers and, not to mention the taste in the pigsty, after all, the two pigs eat and drink in it.

The pigsty is cleaned regularly, but the smell doesn't get rid of it.

He originally thought that Shang Xia would cover his nose and dislike these strange smells, because the elementary school classmates who had come to his house had done this, and after that, he would not bring his classmates to his home.

It's not because I'm afraid of being embarrassed, but because I don't want to make it difficult for my mother.

His mother worked hard to raise chickens and pigs for him to study, and he had long sworn that no one would harm his mother.

But Shang Xia ......

Shang Xia was excitedly helping Mother Lin with her work, but when she thought of a question on the test paper, she turned her head and was about to ask him, but when she saw that he was in a daze, she smiled and turned her head again.

After feeding the pigs, Shang Xia ran to pick vegetables, and Mother Lin took this opportunity to pull her son into the kitchen.

"What does this girl have to do with you?"

Lin Ran's ears were red, and he turned his head away from looking at his mother, "No, it's nothing." ”

Even if he likes Shang Xia so much, he is similar to many boys of the same age, and he feels very embarrassed to talk about it with his mother.

Of course, Mother Lin knew her son's character, and knew that he was a dead duck with a hard mouth, and she must have liked that girl with this look, so she was immediately happy.

"Lin Xia is a good girl, you see how sensible people are, the first time they came, they helped me do this and that, and their hands and feet were also sharp. If you really like people, you have to be good to them wholeheartedly, don't learn from those who don't grow, do you know? ”

Seeing that her son had someone she liked, Mother Lin couldn't help but sigh in her heart that time passed so fast.

Once upon a time, he was still the little meat dumpling on his back that couldn't even walk steadily, but now he has grown so tall, and he still has the girl he likes in his heart.

Mother Lin's mind couldn't help but think of all kinds of love and sweetness between herself and Lin Ran's father, and then looked at Shang Xia's eyes even softer.

"Mom......"

Lin Ran was a little helpless, is he the kind of person who messes around?

If Shang Xia hears it, he doesn't know what to think of himself.

"I'm your mother, you'll always be a child in front of me, what's there to be shy about? If you like it, you have to grasp it, every day of your life is a gift from God, and you must learn to cherish it.

Even if that girl doesn't like you now, as long as you really like her, then you can get better for her, you can't stalk girls, but you can't easily give up the person you like, you know? ”

Just like her and Lin Ran's father, who would have thought that something like that would happen? I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
