Zhang Guoqing rode a bicycle, and it was already the dead of night when he stepped into the village, and the figure of Zhang's mother appeared at the door of the house, and when he saw someone riding a bicycle in the distance, he shouted loudly: "Is it Xiao Wu?" ”

The loud voice, unexpectedly harsh in the dead of night, caused dogs not far away to bark, but in Zhang Guoqing's heart, his mother's voice sounded like the most beautiful music in the world.

He kicked forward a few times, and seeing that his mother was in a hurry to run out, he hurriedly looked and shouted: "Oh, my mother, you can be careful, don't run, stay there and don't move." ”

In the blink of an eye, he rode to Zhang's mother, "Mother, how cold is it, why did you come out?" Don't wait next time. What should I do if I fall blindly in the dark? ”

Seeing that his mother didn't speak, he laughed. His heart was warm, and the cold wind blew at night didn't bring him a chill, so he pushed the cart and followed him into the yard. looked at the kerosene lamp extinguished on the ground, and smiled helplessly, this lamp should have been ordered by his father, his mother was really saving, and it was not wasted at all.

"Mother, are you worried that I haven't come back yet? I went to the school today to run errands, and then Zhang Yuntao and Li Qinglin followed me to the provincial capital to return the car. They were going shopping, so they were late. After dinner, the master chef in the restaurant drove us home, or he had to pull them to school. The next time I go where I don't come back on time, don't go out and wait, if I accidentally fall and no one sees the black light, what should I do? ”

Mother Zhang nodded with a smile and looked at the book he was holding in his hand, "Mmmm, I know." Are you buying so many books again? Can you read it all? ”

"Today, I went to the principal of the county middle school and asked how to apply for a high school Chinese certificate. You need that diploma and household registration certificate to apply for the university entrance examination. As a result, the old principal was a good person, saying that Jiaojiao and I were the first and second places in the county that year, so he thought of taking a leave of absence for me. It's still too late to make up for the formalities now, and it's not counting our vain exams. I went through the formalities for two people, three yuan and two tuition fees for a semester, and the new books in it were the books issued by the school. There are not many old books. ”

Mother Zhang said in surprise: "Then you still have to go to school?" ”

"You don't have to go to school, you still have to pay the tuition for each semester at the beginning of the semester, and then write a leave note, and you have to take the exam when you take the exam every semester. All in all, I'm in school this semester. Mother, what about Dad? ”

"The old headmaster is a nice man. I've been here a few times before, and I've been pulling your dad and telling you to go back to school. I don't understand these things. You're right listening to him. Your father is inside, you go in first to see Jiaojiao, she must be in a hurry. ”

Zhang's mother followed him into the small living room, saw Zhou Jiao standing by the door and listened with interest, and said with a smile, "Now there are two high school students in our family." Don't be in a hurry to read this time, wait until you are done in confinement. ”

Zhou Jiao nodded happily, her eyes kept staring at the book, she really wanted to see the general content of the book, I heard that the acceptance rate was very low, and I didn't know what to test.

Zhang Guoqing put his things away, pulled his mother to sit down, took out the lamb tripe and opened it for her to see, "This is bought in the provincial capital." The last time we went to the market, we haven't been able to visit it thoroughly. I heard that there is a night market at night, and everything sold is defective products from those factories in the provincial capital, and many of them are secretly sold. There are still a few snack bars in the alley, this haggis soup business is booming, and there is a long queue, it is Li Qinglin's kid who has been to his grandfather and took us to the back door. ”

After speaking, Zhang Guoqing took a pair of chopsticks, divided half a bowl and stood up, "Mother, are you here, or go out with me?" I'll go to my dad and give him a taste. Jiaojiao, don't eat it yet, I'll bring the soup back and I'll boil it for you to drink. ”

"I'll accompany you, find your father, and see if your father is happy?"

Zhang Guoqing hinted to Zhou Jiao and waited for him to come back. Seeing that Zhou Jiao nodded, when she entered the bedroom, chatted with Zhang's mother and the others, and walked to the hall.

In the hall, Zhang's father sat on the kang, holding a pipe, his neck stretched long, and looked out from time to time, he had long expected that Zhang Guoqing would come to him when he came back, so he waited in the hall. His family has a habit of coming back to say hello to their husband and wife no matter where they come home.

Seeing Zhang Guoqing coming in with a plate, Dad Zhang frowned, "You have something to keep for yourself in the future, don't send anything to your father's mouth." You are busy every day, and you have to make up for it, don't be careless when you look at your young body and good bones. ”

Zhang Guoqing nodded with a smile. As for whether he does it or not, that's his business, and he accepts his father's wishes. I used chopsticks to pick up a few pieces of lamb tripe and stuffed it into his father's and his mother's mouths. I looked at them expectantly, waiting for them to comment on how it tasted. He really thinks that this lamb tripe is easy to chew and not rotten, the taste is moderate, not salty or light.

Mother Zhang chewed carefully, swallowed it and said, "This is really good, we can't do it." The people who open the shop are all craftsmen, and they have unique skills, and they don't spread it. ”

Dad Zhang squinted at his wife. This mother-in-law is really, and she can only talk about it if she is delicious. Otherwise, Xiao Wu will not be allowed to go to the provincial capital in the future after hearing this, so he will bring it back to them.

Looking at his youngest son's expression, he can't wait to know if it suits their taste, and if it's suitable, it is estimated that he will be brought tomorrow. Oops, this son of a ruined family. Father Zhang is both pleased and worried about this son, fortunately he married the right daughter-in-law, otherwise he would not be able to make money and spend money.

"Okay, it's delicious. You can't eat it often, that is, taste it. Your mother's cooking is delicious. You see, my father has not gotten tired of eating it for so many years. ”

Zhang Guoqing laughed, "Yes, I think my mother's food is the best, you see that we are all tall and strong, and my sisters are a race and a water spirit." Daddy, do you have anything to tell me? If not, I'll go and rest first. I have to get up tomorrow morning. ”

Father Zhang shook his head and hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay." You hear everything you shout about at home. Go and rest, you don't have to get up early tomorrow, you don't have any work at home, you don't have to get up earlier than the chickens. ”

Mother Zhang sighed when she saw him walk out of the hall. Dad Zhang looked at him curiously, he really couldn't figure it out, what else made her sigh? His son is filial, and his daughter-in-law is obedient.

"What's wrong? Annoyed? ”

Mother Zhang sighed softly and said softly: "I just think that if Xiao Wu is admitted to college in the future, won't he be able to go out and see him?" ”

Father Zhang coughed with a smile, pointed at her with his finger, and said with a smile: "You are what Xiao Wu said." I'm worried about the shadow yet. Besides, even if they were admitted, believe it or not, they have to persuade us to go together? You don't see it, our little five haven't just grown up, and we always have to find our father and mother first when we come out and go in? He didn't plan on not having a relationship with him in the future. Do you believe that when they live in the county seat, they will definitely find an excuse for us to go up and help?

I could guess what was going on in both of them. After planning to split up, let's follow the boss on the bright side and not embarrass the boss. But secretly he definitely pulled us to live there. As far as Xiao Wu and Jiaojiao are concerned, they eat white rice by themselves, will they let us eat wowotou in the old family?

As for after they are admitted to university, we will go to live in the capital when we have time, isn't our Jiaojiao still a big yard? Are you afraid that you won't have a house to live in? If you are not used to living, go back to your hometown to see the eldest and second, what is there to think? They will buy the train tickets and the train will go straight to home. ”

"Hehe, that's what I said, we really don't have to worry. Whoever you want to go to live with your son for a few days to see your grandson, oops, I'm really confused. ”

Father Zhang chuckled and shook his head, and comforted her: "Don't worry. Your old son has arranged the whole family carefully, and he will definitely not let us worry. You just have to know it, and don't reveal it to the outside world. He is more thoughtful than anyone else, so what else do we have to worry about. Others and daughters-in-law are making trouble, but our family is so filial. Since Xiao Wu is all out of Zhang Luo, will she not count? Jiaojiao has counted them, and she also supports Xiao Wu to do it. This shows that this little daughter-in-law is really good. ”
