On the day Zhang Kun came back, Shi Jiaojiao returned to City B ahead of schedule. "Ah, didn't you say you'll be home the day after tomorrow?" The mother came out of the store to see her daughter looking up at the flag waving in the spring breeze. Shi Jiaojiao turned her head and smiled at the woman, "I miss you!" "There is a brilliant golden forsythia in the corner of the wall, reflecting the smiling face delicately and brightly. The woman stepped forward, grabbed her daughter's cheek and rubbed it, "Whose daughter is this, so beautiful!" ”

Erlin's sister-in-law came out from the kitchen with a bamboo basket of white, white, green and green things, and when she saw Shi Jiaojiao, she was happy and said, "Jiaojiao is back!" Shi Jiaojiao stretched out her head to look and exclaimed in surprise: "Acacia flowers? I remember it was only opened in May! The young woman pursed her lips and smiled, poked Shi Jiaojiao's head, and said to Shi's mother: "I grew up here, I remember everything!" Saying that, La Shi Jiaojiao found a dining table and sat down, and said: "There are three or four locust trees in our yard, which are estimated to be on the south side of the lake embankment, the wind is humid and warm, and they bloom more than ten days early every year. Your mother said that day that the wild vegetables are old and there are no new ones, so I remembered. ”

Shi Jiaojiao naturally squatted next to Erlin's sister-in-law, picked up a bunch of buds to help take care of it, Shi's mother took the decorative abacus at the cash register and fiddled with it casually, and said: "Huai cauliflower has it, we have been on the market for more than ten days in the morning, what a big bargain!" Erlin's sister-in-law held a bunch of flowers to Shi Jiaojiao, glared and said, "What is this called, what kind of chicken did you grab?" Shi Jiaojiao grinned, "Do you want to take the lead?" Erlin's sister-in-law said "yes" repeatedly, which made Shi's mother laugh, "What kind of chicken are you talking about, can it still be an old hen?" "Haha."

Because it was a weekend, the store was extremely busy, not only was the lobby almost full, but all three private rooms were booked. Shi Jiaojiao was caught by her family, and she was busy until ten o'clock in the evening before sending off the last batch of guests, beating her shoulders and shouting, "Boss Shi has to give me a salary increase!" Mother Shi took off her apron and came out of the back kitchen, pulling her out the door, "Let's go back first, and your father and them will clean up." Shi Jiaojiao thought about accompanying the sixth child to prepare for the wedding, and decided to go back with her mother as soon as possible.

"You ride your bike and take your mom back!" Father Shi rolled up his sleeves and sent it out, pointed to the four bicycles next to the small dining car and said, "Your original car is also here, and I used it to lend it to the guests to ride out to play." Shi Jiaojiao then glanced at the light, and sure enough, she saw the blue car that had been refurbished. That's the end of it! Shi Jiaojiao sighed while pulling out the car, "According to the two of you, this is to make a big restaurant!" The couple smiled at their daughter's witty words.

I remember that when Shi Jiaojiao was in junior high school, she tried to overload her mother, she tried to slow down, and her mother ran with the car, "It's okay, you can jump up!" "Mommy is seated!" "Uh-huh, I'm ready!" …… Although the mother and daughter made verbal preparations for a long time, when the woman landed on the back seat of the bicycle, the faucet immediately lost control, Shi Jiaojiao had not yet reacted, and the mother and daughter rushed directly into the grass on the side of the road with the car, bluffing the skinny Shi Jiaojiao and yelling, "Mom is too heavy, I can't carry it!" ”

And now, she feels that her mother behind her doesn't have any weight. "Mom, you seem to be thin again!" Shi Jiaojiao said, the woman hugged her daughter's waist and smiled, "Of course, you don't grow meat when you're busy every day, but it's very healthy!" Shi Jiaojiao could hear the fullness and satisfaction in the woman's words, pursed her lips and smiled and did not answer.

The wind of the spring night in the countryside is mixed with the smell of many plants, and it is very comfortable to breeze from the skin.

Passing through the plaza outside the playground, several red minibuses lined up neatly, with the occasional pedestrian passing by in groups. "Hey!" Mother Shi suddenly sighed, "Xiaofei is also married, she is the youngest and most painful of the four of you." How good it is to marry, Xiao Su is a talent, and he is a good person. Shi Jiaojiao stepped on the car and raised the corners of her mouth in agreement: "Well, yes, it's great that the two of them can be together." I'm going over tomorrow to help. ”

Mother Shi was silent for a while, and then sighed and said, "What should my daughter do!" "Mom." Shi Jiaojiao snorted lightly, perhaps it was the gentleness and calmness of spring, she did not escape as usual, but said softly: "You are worried about me, and I know that you are worried about me and bear the discussion of the people around you for me." Mom, do you remember why you decided to be with Dad in the first place? Shi's mother grabbed her daughter's clothes, and Shi Jiaojiao smiled softly, "How many feelings do you need to live such a hard life!" ”

"I also want to find someone who wants to be with me no matter what, just like you found your father."

The thin light of the morning sun hits the delicate young leaves of the fendill in the corner of the wall, after two or three years of flowering and seeding natural sowing, the few plants planted by Shi Mama at the beginning, have grown densely into a piece, and the flowering period must be a scene of red stars blooming all over the sky. The mother and daughter said goodbye at the door, one went east to the store in the scenic spot, and the other went west to the town. "It mainly depends on Xiaofei, when people get married, don't you have too big ideas, you know?" Shi's mother stepped up her explanation, Shi Jiaojiao held the car and smiled, "I know, how old am I!" ”

As he was talking, a person came from the east side of the path in front of the door, and he laughed and shouted, "Ah, the Golden Phoenix family is here?" When she got closer, she recognized that it was her mother's mahjong partner, and as soon as she came, she took Shi Jiaojiao's shoulder intimately and looked closely, and said to Shi's mother: "Look, it's completely a city person, how beautiful!" Mother Shi smiled reluctantly, "What's so good-looking, isn't it just a child who looks big under your nose!" ”

The curly-haired aunt smiled at Shi Jiaojiao and asked, "Don't bring the object back yet, your parents' hair is gray!" Shi Jiaojiao could only smile slightly when she looked at her mother, and the curly-haired aunt pulled Shi Jiaojiao's arm and said to Shi's mother seriously: "It's not small, it can't be delayed!" No matter how good a girl is, it's hard to find someone! Look at my eldest daughter, the second baby will crawl. She's not sensible, and your parents aren't in a hurry, right? Shi Jiaojiao lowered her head, and her ears burned hotly.

She was about to find a word to get out, when she saw Mother Shi smile and said to Aunt Curly-haired: "She has her own ideas, marriage is a lifelong thing, and she can't just find someone to have a baby." It's better if she really doesn't get married, and the two of us are willing to raise her for the rest of our lives, not to mention that she doesn't have to worry about us! After speaking, waiting for Aunt Curly's reaction, she was really embarrassed, let go of Shi Jiaojiao and said, "Hey, yes, Jiaojiao has a future." There are two of us, hey......"

"Auntie, I have something to do in town, you are chatting with your mother, I can't accompany you!" Shi Jiaojiao took the opportunity to get out, the curly-haired aunt realized that she would come over, her footsteps had already taken a step, and she pointed to the direction of the small vegetable market and said, "I also want to buy vegetables!" "Then let's go together." Mother Shi waved her hand and walked away with Aunt Curly.

After meeting Xia Lei, the two first went to the studio that the sixth child had negotiated before to determine the makeup artist on the wedding day, and then went to the sixth child's house together. "Is Zhou Jiyun coming?" Shi Jiaojiao asked, Xia Lei nodded, pouted, and said, "After Feifei's wedding, I may have to go back to the south with Zhou Jiyun to live." Shi Jiaojiao opened her mouth, suppressed her surprised expression, and said, "Also, you can't let him live here with you." ”

Xia Lei froze in place, Shi Jiaojiao took two steps before looking back at her, but she didn't expect her to be furious, "Why do you say that?" Why can't he live here with me? Shi Jiaojiao was stunned, and instantly realized that before this, the two of them might have had a dispute because of this, and it may be very intense. Shi Jiaojiao returned to Xia Lei's side, took her arm and walked forward, and said, "Someone has to compromise, of course, no one is destined to be the one who compromises." ”

Xia Lei was dragged forward by Shi Jiaojiao, and suddenly felt aggrieved, and said, "I'm leaving, what should Grandpa do?" What about the old house? gone, probably never coming back, in the next few years, more than ten years, or even decades, what should the four of us do? Shi Jiaojiao's footsteps did not stop, watching the white cement road at the end of the street gradually thinning, squinting her eyes and saying, "If you are for these, it is not a problem." Grandpa is gone, in fact, it will always be in your heart, and there is a grandfather everywhere in the old house. And the four of us, we have all experienced the gathering and dispersion, and we can do anything. ”

The privet in the old Liujia community has grown tall and dense, the air is full of rustling leaves, Xia Lei's hair up to her neck is blown by the wind, she stares at the quiet Shi Jiaojiao, and smiles bitterly, "When I was sixteen years old, I found that you were already a middle-aged man. ”

Shi Jiaojiao responded with a smile, as if predicting that Xia Lei might go her own way, lowered her eyes and said, "Alalei, do you know? Not only you, but Lili, Fei Fei or me, no one knows where it will settle down. If the four girls who drank wine under the stars that summer vacation could really last forever, it was not life, it was a fairy tale. ”

Xia Lei pressed her right hand on her heart and said to Shi Jiaojiao: "A long time ago, you said that as long as you follow your heart, you won't regret it. I did that, and although the result was not what I wanted, I really had no regrets in my heart. This time, I'll listen to you. As for whether the fairy tale can come true, it depends on whether the starry sky in the village hears our wishes! "Okay."

Chen Li came to answer the door, and the frolicking sound of children chasing came from the house, "Why did you two come, there are so many things!" "There's a lot of sugar to put in the flowers!" Chen Pengpeng sent a candy box to Xia Lei's eyes and shook it, then hugged her leg and called out glutinously, "Auntie, Peng Peng misses you so much!" Xia Lei leaned down and struggled to pick up the little boy, "What do you want from your mother?" Chen Pengpeng tilted his little head, put it on Xia Lei's forehead, and said, "I miss my aunt!" Xia Lei touched the back of Chen Pengpeng's round head, took a deep breath and murmured, "Silly fatty, aunt won't leave ......"

Shi Jiaojiao was anxious to write a thank you card in the wedding bag, but the sixth child first took out a few booklets of different sizes, glanced at Xia Lei shyly and said, "Let's look at my wedding photos first, you two haven't seen each other." Chen Li held the sixth child's shoulder and said, "I'm too busy to be at home now, and Chen Pengpeng doesn't want me anymore." Saying that, he beckoned Xia Lei, "Don't pay attention to him, come and look at the photos!" Xia Lei raised her neck, didn't put down Chen Pengpeng, and said: "Look, I accompanied them to shoot, and I've watched the negatives several times!" ”
