Chapter 50: Leaving Home
A rooster crowed, I opened my eyes dimly, at home I used to get up when I heard the rooster crow, and I got into the habit of getting up, and I slept a little late last night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info turned over and slept for half an hour, seeing that Zhang Zhang and a few of them were still sleeping soundly, I didn't call them first, get up first, my parents must be preparing breakfast, I went over to help.
Push open the door, the sky is slightly bright, the morning air is exceptionally fresh, reflecting the surroundings, green trees, mixed with many animal calls, particularly comfortable, everything at the moment has no beauty can be replaced, because it is the purest nature.
I suddenly remembered that I didn't seem to see Wu Gu just now, I turned around and walked back to the room and swept around, Wu Gu was really not there, could it be that he got up so early? I picked up my phone to check the time.
Picked up the phone and found a text message being edited: Su Wu, I'm already leaving, I'll give you a hexagram before leaving, you must let go when it's time to let go, and you'll see you by fate, Wu Gu.
What does it mean to let go when it's time to let go? I don't know if Wu Gu left last night, or this morning, I still have a lot of questions to ask him about Wu Gu, but I haven't had time to ask them yet.
He gives me a rather mysterious feeling, always appearing at a very coincidental time, but it makes sense, and it is a bit far-fetched to think about it. It's a pity that now the people are gone, and I can't find them if I want to.
When I walked out of the room, I heard the girl's silver bell-like laughter. It turned out that Mo Xin and Lin Xiyu had already gotten up and were helping their mother make breakfast. My father burned firewood in front of an earthen stove.
"Ah Wu is up, the meal is not ready yet, wait for a while." My mother saw me coming over, smiled and said to me, "Mo Xin is really good at cooking, clean and neat, and at first glance, she has developed a habit of cooking by herself." ”
"Well, Mom, you still got up so early, Mo Xin also told me before, but I didn't expect you to think so highly of her."
"Auntie, what about me? How am I? Me too! Lin Xiyu was on the side, stir-frying in the pot with a spoon?
I saw Lin Xiyu somehow, her face was red, and she was a little embarrassed.
"Well, you're also a diligent little girl. Practice more and you'll definitely get better. The mother's face was extraordinarily beaming.
In Lin Xiyu's pot, there was a mushy smell, and her mother took it and added some water to it: "It's okay, you can eat it." ”
"Auntie, I'm sorry." Lin Xiyu stroked the hair in front of his forehead.
Father also smiled slightly.
"Brother Su, go and wake them up, the meal will be ready soon." Mo Xin was washing vegetables in her hands.
"Okay, I'll wash the dishes first." I walked over, took the vegetables in Mo Xin's hand and washed them, she went to the side to stir-fry, handed the washed vegetables to her, and I turned around and went back to the room of Zhang Zhang and the others.
"Get up, eat!" I pushed the door open and shouted to them. Seeing them stretching their waists and slowly getting up, I took a basin and scooped up some water by the stream, waiting for everyone to wash their faces together.
Everyone went to the dinner table. It's all stir-fried side dishes with vegetables, and drinking millet porridge has a unique taste.
I told them that Wu Gu was gone, they were all very strange, and their ability to come and go without a trace was impressive. I wasn't sure what the text message meant, so I didn't say it.
"Mom and Dad, we won't eat lunch, we have to rush back to school early, and we have to have a meeting tonight."
"Well, it's better to be in advance, so as not to get in a hurry." Father nodded slightly.
"Auntie, is there anything we can do for you, we'll help you do some farm work in the morning." Zhang Zhang proposed.
"No need children, you will let Su Wu take you around here to play in the morning, the scenery is very good." Mother said with relief.
"In this way, let's go to the mountains to chop some firewood, and we can help my uncle and aunt save some firewood, how about we go to the mountains and rivers?" The monkey spirit turned his head and said.
"Okay, I think I can." Zhang Hu also nodded.
"Okay, I'll take you later," I still have a little joy in my heart, my father hasn't gone up the mountain to chop wood for a long time, and I'll do it when I come back. There is tension, Zhang Hu is two big guys, I'm afraid one trip, when I run several times alone.
Everyone finished eating, Mo Xin and Lin Xiyu stayed here to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and we were about to take the machete and go up the mountain.
"Come, children, this is the gift I promised you yesterday." The mother took out a cloth bag from her bag, and when she opened it, there were several round beads that looked dark on the outside, but when you looked closely, they reflected the light of dark gold metal. The beads were the size of a finger, and my mother handed them to the six of us, and we took them in our hands and looked at them.
"Mom, what is this?" It's the first time I've seen this kind of thing, I don't know what kind of material it is, what patterns are faintly emerging on the surface, and each one is different, I don't know if it's polished later, or if it's already there. It feels a lot heavier than I thought in my hand.
"I don't know if you like it or not, it's just a metal ball, I also got it by chance when I was young, and I'm giving it to you now, hoping to bring you good luck." Mother smiled kindly.
Everyone thanked my mother happily.
I rushed up the hill with them with machetes and ropes for bundles of firewood. The cut wood was tied with ropes and carried back, and Zhang Hu and Zhang Li were like brute bulls. After two trips, the monkey spirit and I were too tired to keep up, and I said that it was almost, but the two of us had to run a few more times, and one morning, we piled firewood and wood in our backyard, almost a small hill.
"You've got me all the firewood for the next few years." The father looked at the two of them with a smile, and then looked at the back hill in the distance, where it was obvious that a small patch was already bare.
The two scratched their heads and smiled innocently.
"Lin Xiyu, can you give Teacher Ma Li a call now? Zhang Hu also wanted to go to the army with Zhang Zhang and asked if he could do it. I looked aside, and Lin Xiyu asked as he sat there. After saying that, he looked a little embarrassed, and he always felt a little sorry for not knowing what was going on.
"Okay, why do you seem to be shy? Sister, I didn't do anything to you! Lin Xiyu glanced at me contemptuously and called. During the conversation, I asked Zhang Hu's age, 24 years old this year, and heard Lin Xiyu's description of Zhang Hu's praise on the phone, what is as powerful as an ox, one beats ten, and we all listened attentively to it.
"My mom said yes, but she's a little older. Zhang Zhang went to the special forces, and the code name of the troops is not known yet! Zhang Hu can also go together, but you all have to look at your performance for a period of time, if not, then assign to other troops, how about it? Lin Xiyu hung up the phone and said to us.
"Thank you, as long as there is a chance, it is enough." Zhang Hu's tone was filled with strong confidence and expectation.
"Okay, Zhang Hu will set off with us today, and as soon as tomorrow, you can go to the army together." Lin Xiyu said arrangedly.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock. I turned back to my parents and said, "Mom and Dad, then we are leaving, you must take care of your health at home." ”
The parents nodded lovingly.
My father took out the mutton wrapped in a plastic bag, handed it to Lin Xiyu, and took some of the lean beef marinated at home for me to hold. Lin Xiyu danced happily.
Everyone said goodbye to my parents one by one. The mother held Mo Xin's hand tightly and refused to let go, and there was too much reluctance in her eyes. My father stood far behind, watching us leave, looking at the two old figures, I didn't dare to look back, afraid that I would lose the courage to leave home, and secretly said in my heart: Mom, Dad, I love you.
I took Mo Xin and led the group to the place where the carriage was parked before, got into the car and drove in the direction of Ningxia Village.
"Mo Xin, what is my mother giving you? Can you tell me? I asked Mo Xin quietly.
Mo Xin shook her head stubbornly, it seems that she won't say it, and I won't ask anymore.
When they arrived in Ningxia Village, Zhang Hu's parents were busy in the fields, and Zhang Hu ran over and knelt down in front of the second elder and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going to be a soldier." I don't know when I will be able to come back, you have to take care of your body at home, and wait for me to come back to honor you. ”
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Jiang didn't react at all: "Huzi, what's going on?" Soldier? ”
"I want to see the outside world, I want to realize my own value, I want to help more people. Mom and Dad, I hope you can support me, I will definitely live up to your expectations. Zhang Hu gritted his teeth and said resolutely.
"Well, this is my son. Go boldly and don't have any worries. We all support you, and when you come back, you must bring me a good daughter-in-law back, do you hear! "We didn't expect that Uncle Zhang would support Zhang Hu like this.
"Mom, Dad, thank you." Zhang Hu leaned down his huge body and kowtowed three times in succession.
Zhang Hu wants to leave Ningxia Village, and in addition to his parents, he also has his beloved Li Lili. With Zhang Hu, we came to Li Lili's house again. I knocked on the door and saw a girl with a haggard face.
"Brother Huzi, you ......" Lin Lili was about to speak.
"Lili, you listen to me first, I'm leaving here now to be a soldier, and when I come back, if you want to be with me, I will definitely marry you." Zhang Hu interrupted Li Lili and ran away after finishing speaking.
We hurriedly said goodbye to Li Lili and ran home with Zhang Hu.
"I'll take you to Mutuo Town, and I'll finish this bus. I decided to quit my job and go home and take care of this little fishpond. Uncle Zhang said to us.
A group of us got on Uncle Zhang's bus, along with two villagers from Ningxia Village. Along the way, Uncle Zhang bragged to the two fellows that his son was going to join the army. The two fellows were also particularly surprised, and their appreciation was mixed with proposing. Uncle Zhang politely refused, which made Zhang Hu extremely embarrassed on the side.
When I arrived at Mutuo Town, I separated from Uncle Zhang, and then took the car back to Wangjiang City. The return was smooth and did not delay any time. It was only four o'clock when I arrived in Wangjiang City. Zhang Hu came to Wangjiang City for the first time, looking at the urban environment of high-rise buildings, everything is very novel, I can't wait to touch it here, look there, and keep sighing in amazement.
