After getting up early to visit the sixth child in the hospital, Shi Jiaojiao transferred back to the town. When I was passing through the city, I saw a shopping mall with a woolen sweater on sale, so I picked one for each of my parents. When they got home, as Dad said on the phone, they weren't home. Because she said that she would come back soon, Shi Jiaojiao couldn't enter the door and was not in a hurry.

She put her luggage on the small table where she dried the vegetables, and walked around the front room of the house by herself. The most prominent changes are two: there are two peach saplings in the corner of the small vegetable garden at the entrance; Gone are the half-fallen brick walls of the backyard and replaced by a beautiful stainless steel guardrail, protecting even the small bamboo forest.

Shi Jiaojiao walked out of the alley behind the house, just in time to meet her parents who came back, and her father said happily: "Oh, I still want to get home before her!" Shi Jiaojiao came up and said with a smile: "The old couple cleaned up the house in a good way!" was poked in the head by his mother, "What an old couple, your father is old and I'm not old!" Shi Jiaojiao covered her head, smirked and followed the house with her good things. As soon as I entered the house, I found that the wing room that had been locked was opened, and there were some miscellaneous items piled up inside.

"Ah, this house is really our family!" Shi Jiaojiao leaned on the door frame of the east wing and stretched out her head to sigh. The mother came over, grabbed her daughter's shoulder and muttered, "You can't eat more!" He said, "Yes, you didn't see it, when I opened it, it was full of dust, and it was full of broken tables and broken bicycles that the old man was reluctant to throw away...... I swept with my dad for an afternoon! Shi Jiaojiao pursed her lips and smiled, wanting to close the door casually, but was stopped by her mother, "It's open, scattering the old musty smell." ”

Dad walked in from the backyard with a sickle and a cabbage in his hand, looked at the mother and daughter and said, "Look at what I planted, your mother said it must not grow well!" Shi Jiaojiao ran over to pat the tender vegetables and praised: "It looks so delicious!" "Daddy Shi was so happy that he said he would cook more than a dozen dishes!" Ah, yes! Shi Jiaojiao clapped her hands, turned around and took out the sweater she bought, and said, "One piece per person, the little padded jacket will send warmth!" ”

The clothes shook off, and my mother came up first, wiped her hand twice on the placket of her body, and then picked up one sleeve of the woolen sweater and touched it again, saying, "It's so soft, it's wool, right?" Shi Jiaojiao nodded, and her mother looked at it again and again, "How much do these two cost!" Dad secretly went to wash his hands, smiled and compared the gray and black clothes on his body, and said, "Alas, it's just right, it's my daughter!" ”

The mother had mixed feelings in her eyes, and said to her daughter earnestly: "Don't waste money next time, we will buy and wear it ourselves at home, and it is not easy for you to earn some money outside." The debts of this house at home have to be repaid, and the house has to be repaired, and when the time comes, you will bring the object back to look better, in the end, you have a house of your own...... There will be more places to use money in the future, so save a little ......."

Now that no matter what her mother says, she can get involved in the object's affairs, Shi Jiaojiao has long been surprised, and said without any dissatisfaction: "I know, this is not expensive." I have prepared another amount of money to repay the debt, it is not much this year, it will be fine next year, don't worry too much at home. Before my mother could speak, my father was anxious and said, "Jiaojiao, don't think wrong, I'm not forcing you to take money home!" Your mom can't talk more than a brain, and I'm so upset to hear it. As she spoke, my mother blushed and turned white.

"I'm just telling the truth, who forced her, it's your girl, it's not mine? I'm just this one daughter, what am I forcing her to do? The woman was angry at her husband, and the father hugged the sweater and replied, "How do I know!" I was happy when I saw this sweater, unlike you, who forced people to give you an account of their wealth as soon as they came back! When my mother heard this, she raised her eyebrows and pointed to her husband and said, "You are a good father, you are the pillar!" Dad also blushed and had a thick neck, "Don't you think I have no ability and earn less!" ”……

It turned into a "war" between husband and wife, Shi Jiaojiao could see that her parents' grievances seemed to have been accumulated for a long time, and they may have been showing signs from the beginning of planning to buy a house! "Oh, I'm just coming back for the New Year, what's the noise!" Shi Jiaojiao twisted her eyebrows, her tone was not polite at all, but it had a unique harmonizing effect of children, and the two elders stopped and looked at their daughter stupidly. Shi Jiaojiao hugged her arms and said angrily: "Are you not happy that I come back to eat and drink, and act to bombard me!" ”

Mom was relieved first, laughed out loud, and stepped forward to pinch Shi Jiaojiao's cheeks, "Ghost girl, say that mom is going to beat you again!" Shi Jiaojiao crooked her mouth and smiled at her parents, and her father also scratched her head and smiled. After they quarreled, the atmosphere of family reunion became even stronger. "You go and chop the bones, I can't get it, I will definitely serve this dish well!" Mom grabbed the chopping board and called Dad, who was too busy to rummage through the freezer. Shi Jiaojiao stood at the door of the kitchen and asked, "Is there anything wrong with me?" Mom didn't even raise her head, "Didn't you say it well, eat and drink when you come back!" "Haha!"

"Is the factory on holiday?" Shi Jiaojiao took a bite of vinegared cabbage, which was crispy and had a hint of natural sweetness. My mother fished out a large piece of barrel bone, told her to suck the bone marrow, and said, "I'll go again tomorrow and get the New Year's goods with a bonus." Shi Jiaojiao took a bite of the stewed pork, her teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and she was too satisfied to speak.

The next day, Mom and Dad brought back unexpected guests from the garment factory. The sun was particularly bright that day, shining a little blindly, Shi Jiaojiao was wearing the former cotton jacket, holding a hot water bottle and sitting in the corridor, looking at the clothes taken out to dry at the door. A white sedan drove straight to the front of Shijia Road, Shi Jiaojiao didn't have time to be curious, she saw her parents walking out of it one after another, and then a tall woman in a black coat walked from the driver's seat to the trunk and said, "Let's move things back first!" ”

Shi Jiaojiao didn't dare to confirm it for a while, but the beautiful woman held the carriage and shouted to her across the small vegetable field, "Jiaojiao, come and help!" After a while, others should not be able to leave! "Sister Wenyu!" Shi Jiaojiao was surprised and delighted, dropped the hot water bottle and ran to help, and couldn't wait to ask Daddy Shi what was going on? Father Shi scolded his wife Nunu, "Your mother is cheeky and deceived Mr. Shao." Shao Wenyu was handing out a box of citrus, and laughed when he heard the words, "The famous snacks in the village are called by the host himself, so I won't be stupid if I don't come!" ”

When Shao Wenyu went to the old village chief's house to park, Shi Jiaojiao had already prepared a cup of hot tea for her. "I'm thirsty!" Shao Wenyu didn't twist, as if he always came. "It's been a long time, I'm a big girl!" Shao Wenyu held the cup and covered his hands, looked at Shi Jiaojiao and said. Shi Jiaojiao smiled and put the hand warmer on Shao Wenyu's lap and said, "Sister Wenyu is still so young and beautiful!" Shao Wenyu touched his face and laughed: "You don't know how much effort it takes my sister to have fewer fine lines!" Shi Jiaojiao dragged a small bench and sat at Shao Wenyu's feet, and said softly: "No, you are the best-looking person I have ever seen since I was a child." ”

Mother Shi walked to the door, forming a short and fat shadow in the almost noon sun, she tied an apron and said to the two: "Jiaojiao, you talk to Mr. Shao, I will cook with Dad!" Shao Wenyu stood up when he heard this, "I'm a free eater, come and help!" "How could Mother Shi agree! At this time, Shi Jiaojiao said to Shao Wenyu: "Why don't you change your shoes, put on my mother's big cotton jacket, and go to the back to pick spinach together?" Shao Wenyu heard it and said yes, "I really haven't experienced picking vegetables!" ”

The small vegetable garden is tied with a beautiful bamboo fence with stone father's skillful workmanship, with a bush of withered yellow winter bamboo, which has a special beauty that seems to have been carefully designed. A wisp of spinach grows green and tender because of proper water and fertilizer, and some even show reddish roots. Shi Jiaojiao only let Shao Wenyu stand on the edge of the field and go down to the field by herself. She picked the fat one and uprooted it, shook the soil and handed it to Shao Wenyu, who sorted it out and put it into the basket. Mother Shi, who came to pinch the green onions, saw it and laughed: "A scholar and a young lady, the farm work is done like this!" Shao Wenyu's face was slightly reddened by the sun, and his face was full of relaxation.

The two said that it was picking, but in fact, it was more appropriate to chat. "Do you still have any contact with your teacher Tang?" mentioned that Tang Jianyu had also come to eat once, Shao Wenyu asked casually. Shi Jiaojiao was struggling with a radish that was unwilling to be unearthed, gritted her teeth and said: "I haven't heard from him for two or three years, and I learned that he went to study abroad through a phone call on National Day last year." Shao Wenyu took a deep breath and looked up at the blue sky.

Shi Jiaojiao got up only to find that her waist was about to break, and she looked at Shao Wenyu while pounding, and said, "I used to think that you were really cousins, but later I believed that you would definitely get married." Shao Wenyu looked at Shi Jiaojiao levelly, she understood the young girl's eyes asking why, but she definitely had no desire to talk to her.

The woman looked away and said in a cold tone, "Who knows! Some places are too full, and no matter how hard you try to get in, there are no gaps. "Hey......" Shi Jiaojiao sighed softly, "Teacher Tang's mind is full of scientific research." "Heh......" Shao Wenyu curled the corner of his lips, almost talking to himself, "What are you sighing, it's not time to sigh yet." ”

"What are you talking about?" Just when she didn't know what to say, Mother Shi came over with a handful of coriander while picking them. Before Shi Jiaojiao could reply, Shao Wenyu turned his head with his hand on the pergola and replied with a smile, "Speaking of Jiaojiao's elementary school teacher, what about Teacher Tang!" A subtle look flashed on Mother Shi's face, and she sighed reluctantly: "Teacher Xiao Tang hasn't seen him for a few years!" Shao Wenyu looked at Shi Jiaojiao and said with a smile: "Jiaojiao said that he went abroad for further study, and he came back for the National Day last year, and the two of them were still on the phone!" Jiaojiao, huh? ”

Shi Jiaojiao was still struggling with the radish, and she didn't hear it clearly for a while, so she asked casually, "Ask me what?" Shao Wenyu lowered his eyes and didn't want to repeat it anymore. Mother Shi also put aside the previous topic, stepped to the edge of the field in a few steps, and said, "Say you don't pull it out!" Why are you pulling it out? I can't eat it! When Shi Jiaojiao heard this, she let go of her hand, got up and stroked the hair on her forehead with the back of her hand, and said suspiciously: "Didn't you tell me that radishes are the sweetest in winter?" Shi's mother rolled her eyes, "Your dad pulled out half a basket in the kitchen!" "Okay, I want to show Sister Wenyu, she hasn't seen it!" As he spoke, the three people in the field all laughed, and their expressions were different.
