And this surprisingly hot summer, many things have become warmer, such as welcoming unexpected guests at home. The lean man waved at Father Shi from afar, took the hand of the petite woman behind him, and trotted all the way. "Brother, brother!" His voice was young and full, and he couldn't hear the rush he had gone through for a day and a night. Father Shi was completely stunned, muttering to himself as if he didn't know each other, "Why are you, why are you here!" Mother Shi, who heard the movement, came out of the room and recognized the petite woman standing by the bedside at a glance, "Ah, you are here!" ”

"Dongzi won't bring the stones from the mountain, right? So heavy! Father Shi put down their duffel bags and laughed and teased his old colleague, where Mother Shi pulled his wife to sit down and offered the newly opened watermelon, "Tired along the way, right?" Such a hot day. When I talked on the phone the day before yesterday, there was no wind at all! Father Shi pointed at the man, his face flushed with joy. The dusty man rubbed his hands and took out a lot of dried bamboo shoots, kudzu powder and other mountain goods from the duffel bag, and her wife said: "The mountain can't be moved, otherwise it will really be moved for you, haha!" ”

"It's all my mother's pretend! There are also chickens at home, and the distance is too long to take with them. My mom still wants to bring you frozen, I laughed and said that the ice melted before leaving the city, and when you get to your house, the chicken can be eaten directly without cooking! Dongzi carried the bag and strap, and laughed at himself first. Father Shi scratched his head, "It's hard for the old man to remember." Dongzi pursed his lips, "At that time, when I saw my son lying on the hospital bed, the old man was frightened and said a lot of ugly things, and I always wanted to apologize to you and my sister-in-law, but I didn't ......" Shi's mother waved her hand, "It's me and I have to beat someone!" Say no more. Dongzi's wife laughed and said to Shi's mother, "I really regret it! If it weren't for his bad legs, I would have liked to come with me! All four laughed.

Shi's mother urged her husband to hurry out and go to the town to catch a dinner market, "Buy some if you see something, so let's have dinner first, and then another one tomorrow!" When Dongzi and his wife heard this, they quickly stopped, "Don't, sister-in-law, I took the train and the car, and after the car, it was a small three-wheeler, and people were dizzy, so I wanted to drink some gruel!" Father Shi thought about it, put the bicycle back on, and said: "You don't need to be polite to Dongzi's family, just boil some mung bean porridge, mix some cold dishes, and tomorrow, isn't it?" Shi's mother was quite embarrassed, but asked Dongzi's wife to persuade her to say something.

I want to let the guests from afar rest for a while, but the people who come here can't be idle! Father Shi cut a bundle of edamame and came back to make salted beans, Dongzi quickly grabbed the scissors and sat on a small folding stool to work; Mother Shi put the mung bean grate that she had soaked in the morning, and when she turned around, the petite woman was already picking up small pebbles with a rice basket. Mother Shi's eyes were hot, and she secretly thought that there was such a good couple in this world.

In the middle of the porridge, the four of them sat in the corridor in front of the door and chatted. "Oh, brother, why didn't you see your daughter?" Dongzi suddenly remembered and asked, and Father Shi replied: "I am working part-time during the summer vacation, and I guess I will be back soon." Dongzi secretly exchanged glances with his wife, cleared his throat and said, "Brother, in fact, there is something wrong with the two of us this time!" Father Shi's eyes widened, "What's the matter?" Just say something! ”

Dongzi hesitated for a moment, and waited for his wife, who had entered the house, to come to his side and hand him a paper bag. He took the paper bag and sent it to Daddy Shi. Father Shi and Mother Shi looked at each other suspiciously, and hesitantly opened the outer layer of paper, and there was a pile of money inside. "This ......" Father Shi was stunned again, Dongzi licked his lips, "The girl was admitted to college, and I have a little heart to be an uncle!" Father Shi didn't say a word, and looked at his younger brother opposite almost angrily.

The man blocked the paper bag sent back by Father Shi with both hands, and said, "Brother, brother, you listen to me." The two of us have been floating together at sea for so many years, and I know too well who you are! You must have given me all your money in that accident. Dongzi glanced at his wife and continued: "After such phone calls, I guess the situation at home is not easy. I was afraid that you wouldn't want it, so I sent it over! Daddy Shi opened his mouth a little sadly, and his hand holding the paper bag was a little weak.

"Brother Shi, take it! The two families suffered that sin together, and they also saw that they were human beings. We'll treat you as relatives, and there's nothing to excuse when relatives help each other. One day, I have something to ask Dongzi for, will you still ignore us? Father Shi lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and then nodded heavily, "Okay Dongzi, this is what I asked you to borrow." Dongzi patted his brother's wrist and said with a smile: "You can do anything!" ”

No matter what, the hospitable housewife still managed to complete the table of the eight immortals, with meat and vegetarian dishes, even if there were no delicacies, but she could see that she was full of heart. As soon as the night fell, Shi's mother took the last dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and walked from the kitchen to the hall, just in time to welcome Shi Jiaojiao, who returned late.

"Mom!" "Hey, I'm back early today!" "Well, it's nothing, it'll be over in three more days!" Mother Shi nodded, "Stop and wash your hands to eat, relatives are coming to the house!" Shi Jiaojiao stretched out her head, didn't see the situation in the room clearly, and asked curiously, "Who?" Mother Shi stood at the door and smiled, "Just come in and know." ”

It was a couple who had never met before. Shi Jiaojiao had very little knowledge of her relatives, and she screened from the second uncle to the third aunt in her mind, and she didn't have a conclusion in her heart, so she stood stupidly in front of everyone for a while. Seeing his daughter's stupid appearance, Father Shi laughed and said, "Uncle and Aunt Dongzi, I always tell you, call someone quickly!" Of course, Shi Jiaojiao knew this paragraph, so she hurriedly walked to the table and called someone generously.

Dongzi's wife beckoned Shi Jiaojiao to her side, took her two hands and looked up and down, left and right, stretched out her head to Dongzi and said, "What a beautiful girl! Taller than me, what's that called...... Slim...... Right? Ha ha! Dongzi also looked at Shi Jiaojiao with joy in his eyes, turned his head to Shi's father and said, "Like sister-in-law, like you're rough!" "Everyone says it's like me, but your eyes are not good!" Father Shi replied angrily.

The woman asked Shi Jiaojiao to sit next to her, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and said to Shi's mother: "Smart and beautiful, our family boss can have Jiaojiao like this in the future, I have to wake up laughing in my dreams!" Mother Shi smiled, sandwiched a piece of lo-mei for her, and asked, "Your second child is less than two years old, how can he leave you?" The other party squinted at Dongzi and replied: "It's good with his grandmother, so you don't want my own mother." Mother Shi understood and smiled.

Two days later, Dongzi and his wife were going home, and Shi's father, who was still unsatisfied with his good brothers, kept him again and again, and Dongzi didn't want to leave, but his wife told the truth, "The breakfast shop is not big but it is abrasive enough, his father and sister can't last a few days, and if they don't go back, they should close the door!" "I can't force it anymore. On the same day, Shi Jiaojiao's family set out to send the husband and wife to the town. Shi's mother went back to work first, and the father and daughter kept sending them to the bus station in the city, and put them in the car, before reluctantly waving goodbye.

"Didn't Uncle Dongzi say that he came this year, why did he come suddenly?" On the way back, Shi Jiaojiao felt that things were strange. Father Shi patted the back of his daughter's head and said earnestly: "Your uncle Dongzi is here to send you tuition!" "Huh?" "He has a large family to support, and the economy is not well-off, so he will send you three thousand five thousand for this gift, you have to remember this love!" Shi Jiaojiao bit her lip, "Dad, have you borrowed money so far?" Father Shi shook his head, and described the previous relationship, especially the deep friendship of Dongzi and his wife, Shi Jiaojiao looked at her father's side face, and thought: This is not because of me, but Uncle Dongzi recognizes you as an old brother, Dad......

This is the T-junction that has been walked thousands of times, where the cement road and the scenic river intersect. The early morning of early September already gave people a noticeable cool feeling, and Shi Jiaojiao rubbed her arms and looked at the end of the road. Soon I saw Chen Li holding the battery car faucet in sight, and soon stopped at Shi Jiaojiao's feet. As soon as the car stopped, the sixth child jumped down from the back seat and handed an envelope to Shi Jiaojiao. "Believe it!" Lao Liu poked the envelope, "You can only see it when you go to school, but you can't read it now!" ”

Shi Jiaojiao couldn't stand it and nodded, "Okay, okay, promise not to look at it." The sixth child took Shi Jiaojiao's hand and said, "I'm very worried that I can't send you to school, but I didn't expect that one day, you will start school later than me!" Shi Jiaojiao replied: "Stupid, even if you don't want to send it, my school is too far away!" Chen Li propped one foot on the ground and said, "It's not that far, it's enough to take a day off to go back and forth, hey, it's just that the factory is busy, don't let people go!" Xia Lei's school is not farther than you, huh? ”

"She's probably on the plane by now." Shi Jiaojiao replied, and the other two nodded approvingly, remembering that when Xia Lei came to the village two days ago, the four of them ate grapes together in the courtyard of Chen Li's house, and she said that she would go to school early, "It's too far, go early to familiarize yourself with the environment." Because there was a solemn farewell at that time, and then the two of them were going to study in other places, and everyone was not so uncomfortable.

The sixth child sat back in Chen Li's battery car, the three of them said goodbye, Chen Li said: "In the past, Jiaojiao took you to the town, and now I will take you, maybe I will take Jiaojiao again early in the morning in a few days." How am I a little, you all flew away from me, the feeling that the female is not staying. This sentence made the three of them sad, Shi Jiaojiao sniffed, "I definitely don't want you to bring it then, my dad is at home, he will definitely send me to school!" Chen Li rubbed her eyes and said, "Yes, then I'll send her to town first!" "Goodbye." "Jiaojiao, bye-bye." "Bye-bye."

There were no pedestrians on the road in the countryside, and the backs of the two of them leaving were particularly prominent. Shi Jiaojiao unconsciously walked to the middle of the road, looking at Chen Li's floral chiffon skirt, with the sixth denim blue jumpsuit pasted on the back, their appearance is so bright and familiar, they are obviously far away, but they can't disappear into Shi Jiaojiao's pupils.
