"Are you scared dad to death?"

Putting her daughter on the front beam of the bicycle, Jiang An reprimanded her in a low voice with a frightened face: "Do you know how dangerous it was just now?" If you have three longs and two shorts, how can you explain to your mother if you ask your dad to go back? ”

His voice was obviously trilling, and Ye Xia knew that her behavior just now was a little reckless, but to tell the truth, even if that happened again, she would still save people without hesitation.

However, at this time, she deeply felt her father's heart, after all, she used to be a mother, and when she learned that her child had an accident, her heart was so nervous and anxious, so she pursed her lips and obediently listened to her father's admonition, which was actually another way of expressing her.

"You can't do that again, you know? Otherwise, Dad won't take you anywhere in the future, so he will let you stay at home and not leave our village. ”

Riding to a nearby state-run hotel, Jiang An tried his best to calm down, but he still kept talking: "You really have to do something, you will regret it to death, I am afraid that there will be no more smiling faces in this life, even your mother, your brother and your brother, they will also lose their laughter......"

Hearing the depression and uneasiness in her father's voice, Ye Xia pursed her lips, and her immature voice raised: "Dad, I know it's wrong, don't worry, I'll ...... in the future."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Jiang An: "Later? Are you still thinking about the future? I'm telling you, if something like that happens in the future, you will hide away from Dad. ”

It's not that he's selfish, it's that this one of his five children is a daughter, and if his daughter has an accident, it will definitely be like an earthquake in his house.

"Oh, I listen to Daddy."

As long as her father's heart is relaxed, she can do anything, Ye Xia thought, in order to divert her father's attention, her crisp and immature and smiling voice rose again: "Dad, let's buy a few more buns to take home." ”

Jiang An responded, and his tone was doting and helpless: "You, you're just a ghost, this is not to let Dad babble anymore, right?" Okay, Dad can't, no, but you have to take Dad's words to heart. ”

Ye Xia nodded "um" and smiled: "I remember everything." ”

The state-run hotel sells big bags, fritters, wontons, as well as big white steamed buns and pancakes this morning, looking at the wooden sign hanging at the door of the hotel, Jiang An grabbed the handlebar with one hand, and hugged the girl from the front beam with the other:

"Your kid is getting more and more bold, yesterday I went up the mountain without fear, and today I rushed out to save Quan'er, and when I return to the village, I have to be good with your mother and your three brothers, and I have to watch you closer."

Ye Xia raised his head, his big round and bright eyes were full of innocence and truth: "Dad, there's no need for this, right?" ”

Do you need it?

actually asked her family to watch her closely, so how could she improve the food for her family? Rubbing the top of her daughter's hair, Jiang An looked serious: "It is necessary, and it is necessary." “

, took his daughter's hand and walked into the state-run hotel.

"Dad, you eat this wonton, I eat steamed buns and drink soy milk."

Looking at the fragrant wontons in front of her, Ye Xia pushed the bowl in front of her father, and at the same time wanted to move the soy milk in front of her father to her, but was stopped by Jiang An: "The wontons are specially bought for you, eat quickly, let's go home early." ”

After speaking, Jiang An grabbed the vegetable bag and took a bite, and at the same time, he drank half a bowl of soy milk.

The soy milk is warm and not hot at all.

There were two buns and two vegetable buns on the plate, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang An ate the two vegetable buns and drank a big bowl of soy milk. Ye Xia finished nibbling on a bag, ate half a bowl of wontons, and pushed the bowl towards her father: "Dad, I'm full." ”

Jiang An twisted his eyebrows: "Really full?" ”

Ye Xia nodded: "I'm full, don't lie to my father." ”

Looking at the girl's real appearance, Jiang An's heart was very sour, what child can be so sensible as his daughter? But in the end, it was the famine that forced the child to be sensible earlier.

Pressing down the sourness that rose in his heart, Jiang An fed two more wontons to his daughter's mouth, and Fang San ate the rest in two bites. Even the soup was drunk cleanly.

"Dad, buy bags, buy all bags, buy nine more, plus my one is ten, take it home, mom and eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and younger brother are exactly two of them."

Since the girl has already said this, Jiang An naturally has no disagreement, and she went to the ticket office: "Comrade, get me four fritters, and then ......"

A fritter costs four cents, a big bag costs five cents, and after paying the money and food stamps, Jiang An put the things into a black leather bag and beckoned the girl to leave. At this time, Ye Xia's eyes were focused on the boy she had saved on the road at the entrance of the grain station when she walked into the state-run hotel, and the other party obviously saw her, but pretended not to see it, and walked directly to the ticket gate.

"Xia Xia, what are you looking at?"

When he went to the side of his daughter, he took her daughter's hand, and Jiang An asked gently.

Ye Xia shook her head and was led out of the state-run hotel by her father.

"Dad, how many miles is there from our big pear tree to the county?"

"Thirty miles."

"Then we'll be home in a little while."

"Well, dad ride quickly, I'll definitely be there around half past nine."

The two of them talked, and in a blink of an eye, the bicycle had been ridden more than ten meters away.

After buying buns and fritters, the boy who was rescued by Ye Xia stood outside the door of the state-run hotel, looking at the direction where Jiang An was riding for a while before retracting his gaze.

Big Pear Tree Village.

As soon as Jiang An and his wife entered the village, several people came around, one of the women rubbed her eyes, looked at Ye Xia, and asked Jiang An: "Captain, is this your Xia Xia?" ”

Without waiting for Jiang An to make a sound, Ye Xia greeted the other party with a sweet smile: "Aunt Wang, I'm Xia Xia." ”

Then, she greeted the others in a well-behaved and polite manner.

"Xia Xia is so handsome in this dress, and these leather shoes are also good-looking, are they newly bought?"

The man was standing on the side, and the women among the few people approached Ye Xia, and looked at Ye Xia carefully from head to toe for a long time, his eyes were full of envy, and when he heard Aunt Wang's question, Ye Xia nodded "um", and listened to her father to a few people:

"Xia Xia was uncomfortable at night, Lin Liang I took it to the county hospital to take a look, I didn't expect to meet her aunt and uncle on the street, no, her aunt and her uncle were happy when they saw Xia Xia, so they bought this."

At this point, Jiang settled down, and then continued: "Xia Xia's body is still a little weak, so I won't talk to you more here." ”

When the sound fell, he pushed his bicycle and walked straight in the direction of his house.

"I've never seen anyone in our village who spoils her daughter more than the captain."

Aunt Wang looked at Jiang An's back and said with a sour taste: "The girls are all money-losers, no matter how much they are favored, aren't they all from other people's families?!" ”

Another woman likewise sourly:

"It's this reason, but the captain and his family spoil a girl who is more expensive than the four sons of their family, that is, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang obviously have a lot of granddaughters, but they only spoil the daughters of the captain's family, but, then again, our entire team can receive rice and white noodles yesterday, but they all eat Xia Xia's benefits."

"If you want me, Xia Xia is worthy of the captain and her grandfather to spoil me, you don't know, that child is well-behaved and sensible, and his mouth is sweet, and he greets us with a smile when he sees us, the first two children almost starved themselves in order to let their younger brother eat enough, and yesterday it was even more beneficial for our entire brigade."

The woman who spoke paused slightly, and her expression instantly became serious: "I have so much, you don't hear anything?" ”

Aunt Wang was puzzled: "Song family, don't sell Guanzi, if you have something to say, come out directly, don't let us guess." ”

was called by her to be the Song family, and glanced at a few people around her, so it was difficult to hide her envy: "Xia Xia is a blessed child, you can't even see this, is it difficult to use long eyes as decorations?" ”

Aunt Wang was unhappy: "The Song family, let's talk well, but we don't teach you so much." ”

What do you mean by opening their eyes for ornamentation? Really, dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths!

The Song family glanced at her and said to the other people:

"The first two Xia Xia were almost gone, but she was forced to pull her life back from Lord Yama by the brown sugar water she fed, and then, the child went to the mountains to find food, and found such a big secret, which brought benefits to the members of our entire brigade, what are you not a blessed child?"

"Again, Xia Xia's aunt and uncle are Xia Xia's relatives, and they like Xia Xia's child, that is, my aunt, who is in the family, and I like Xia Xia's festive face very much. Alright, no, you can go on with it! ”

Seeing the Song family walking away, Aunt Wang said: "Actually...... Actually, I also like Xia Xia very much, that child is indeed a good one, and he is blessed. Think about it this time, compared to the captain's spoiled daughter, the old couple of Wang Zhishu doted on their pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, that is called a real pet! ”

Lao Beng Huaizhu, when Wang Zhishu was forty-three years old, his mother-in-law, who was five years older than him, was happy to have a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, but Wang Zhishu's family couldn't close their mouths, especially Wang Zhishu's two sons, after having three sons and two daughters, Ran was middle-aged, and he got such a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and he really took the two of them as eyes.

And the same is a spoiled daughter, but the two of Wang Zhishu spoil their daughters indulgently and Ren, their eyes are on the top of their heads, and they are more than three years old in Changye Xia, but they are the most unpleasant one among the big children in Dalishu Village, but because of the branch secretary of Wang, the children in the village no longer like Wang Leilei, and they are all okay on their faces.

On the other hand, Jiang An was carrying his daughter on a bicycle and was about to arrive at the door of the house, but suddenly he was blocked by the dragon and phoenix tire of Wang Zhishu's family.

Wang Anping is the elder brother of the dragon and phoenix fetus, he stood in front of Jiang An's bicycle, just staring at the skirt and leather shoes worn by Ye Xia and chanting happily, "It's so good-looking", and Wang Leilei,

Like her brother, she stared at Ye Xia's skirt and leather shoes without blinking, but her eyes were full of envy and jealousy, and for a while, she didn't see the brother and sister give way, Jiang An couldn't help it: "Ping'an, you and Lei Lei stand on the side, uncle is still waiting to go back." ”

"Oh, I'm going to move to the side,"

Wang Ping'an took two steps towards the side of the road: "Uncle, you put Xia Xia off the bike, and I'll take her to play in the village." ”

Jiang An smiled: "Xia Xia is not feeling well, I can't play with you brothers and sisters, you can go play by yourself." ”

When Wang Ping'an heard this, he set his eyes on Ye Xia: "Xia Xia, you really can't go to play with us?" ”

Looking at the boy in front of him with an ordinary appearance and slightly dark cheeks, different from the children in the village with a little baby fat, Ye Xia was extremely sincere: "I want to go home and sleep, I can't play with you, change me, let's play together." ”

Wang Ping'an let out a "oh", and at this time, Wang Leilei suddenly asked, "Ye Xia, where did you buy this skirt and leather shoes?" Can you borrow two from me? When my dad buys it for me, I'll pay you back. ”

Listening to these rational words, the corners of Ye Xia's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he smiled: "This is what my aunt and my uncle bought for me in the county shopping mall, you are taller than me, your skeleton is bigger than me, and your feet are bigger than me, you can't wear my skirt and shoes." ”

This was already obvious, but Wang Leilei didn't seem to hear it: "I can wear it, you can lend it to me, I promise I can wear it." ”

Angry ghost, isn't it just a skirt and leather shoes, and it won't be a little bit to borrow her to wear!

Jiang An didn't want his daughter's skirt and leather shoes to be ruined, so he pushed the bicycle, bypassed Wang Leilei and walked to the door of the house, and then Wang Leilei screamed on the ground and shouted: "What's the big deal?" Isn't it just a torn skirt and torn leather shoes, and my family can't afford it......"

Jiang An shook his head, he couldn't understand, how could Wang Zhishu be such a smart person, how could he raise his daughter like that?

If she doesn't go her way, she doesn't care if she stands on the village road and yells, and she doesn't have a good face?

"Dad, is Wang Leilei stupid? I have a big skeleton and big feet, I can't wear my skirt and shoes, why can't she listen to the good words, and I don't want to. ”

Ye Xia muttered in a childish tone,

Hearing this, Jiang An sighed, "Don't be like her." ”

Ye Xia said "um", childishly: "I don't play much with her, I don't hear anything about her, as long as she doesn't bother spitting on Xingzi, whatever she does." ”

Near noon, several cars came to Dalishu Village, some from the provincial town and some from the county, and some reporters were arranged by the leaders to come to Dalishu Village for interviews, along with provincial leaders, county leaders, and several comrades from Hongqu Commune.

In the face of the reporter's interview, whether it was Wang Zhishu, Jiang An, or the comrades interviewed by the hunting team, they all answered the reporter's questions truthfully, and as for Ye Xia, the main interviewee, he naturally coped with it quite freely.

Really ke, generous and polite, the eyes were sincere when he spoke, and the leaders and reporters were smiling all the time, leaving an excellent impression on Ye Xia.

When the reporters finished the interview, and the leaders chatted with Wang Zhishu and the team leader Jiang An for a few words of work, a cadre from the county carried the reward that Secretary Qiao promised to Ye Xia yesterday and the staff who followed him into Ye Xia's house, envious of the majority of members.

A sewing machine, a bag of rice and white flour, 50 catties, 5 catties of cooking oil, a basket of fruits, and a stack of daily necessities tickets.

In the end, the cadre from the county took out a recruitment contract from his briefcase and handed it to Jiang An: "You take this, fill it out, and take it directly to report for duty." ”

Ye Xia was standing on the side, through the back of the paper, she saw the words "recruitment contract", her eyes blinked, and she said to her father in a childish voice: "Dad, can I take a look?" ”

As far as her family is concerned, her father probably won't leave the big team and go to the county as a worker, and her brothers are studying, so they will definitely not go back, so her mother will be left, but if her mother wants to put down the whole family, let go of their children, and go to the county to work, her mother will not go like her father.

In this way, such a recruitment contract is bound to cause a lot of trouble.

Instead of finding something to come to the door, then she changed the idea of this work location and used it for her own family, which is better than cheapening others. "Xia Xia, do you know words?"

Jiang An didn't say anything, the cadre from the county first looked at Ye Xia with a pleasant face and asked with a smile, seeing Ye Xia nodding, the county cadre said to Jiang An: "Show the child, the reward I brought this time was originally for Xia Xia, let Xia Xia take a look, but what else do you have any opinions." ”

Jiang An felt that his daughters were too fine, as fine as monkeys, their minds were full of twists and turns, and their words were even more organized, and their heads were Dao'er, which was more than the brains of several sons added together.

"Here, you see."

Gathering his feelings, Jiang An handed the recruitment contract in his hand to his daughter with some amusement.

Ye Xia took it and looked at it carefully, and saw that the contract said that it was a recruitment contract of a factory, which had been stamped with the official seal of the employing unit, and the principal had also signed, as long as her family filled it out, she could go to the factory to report to work, and after a while, she moved her eyes to the county cadre, with a really innocent face:

"Uncle, can this work be arranged in our Red Flag Commune? My dad is the captain and can't do without the big pear tree, if my mom goes to work in the county, what will the family do? But if my mother works in the commune, then my mother can ride back and forth from work in the morning and evening, and be able to take care of the family without delaying work, do you think this will be possible? ”

When the county cadre heard this, he thought about it and smiled: "Uncle and your parents will discuss it, if your parents have no opinion, uncle will help you coordinate." ”

Ye Xia's big black eyes were bent like crescent moons, and he bowed deeply towards the county cadre: "Thank you, uncle." The ghost spirit bowed deeply to the cadres from Hongqu Commune again: "Thank you, uncle! ”

When she thanked her, the cadre from the commune immediately said: "As long as your parents have no opinion, the commune is responsible for arranging it." ”

It is obviously better to work in the county than in the commune, and since the county leaders agreed, as a commune cadre, how could he shirk it?

After Jiang An and Lin Lan discussed, they decided to listen to their daughters and implement this job opportunity to the commune, and come to their house compared to working in the county. They are not stupid, if they really put the opportunity to work in the county, the two of them will not be able to go, and the children at home will inevitably find their home.

If you don't give this to that, if you don't give that you, in the end, you won't be able to do it, I'm afraid you will have to leave it alone.

With such concerns, it is better for her to work in the commune first, and then when the children are older, who has not finished reading, they just take over her post.

The decision was made, and Jiang An, along with those county cadres and commune cadres, immediately made a decision and arranged for Lin Lan to work in the commune.

Seeing off leading comrades and reporters at all levels, Lin Lan touched the brand-new sewing machine, flour bags and rice bags, and wiped her tears.

"Mom, aren't you happy?"

Jiang Xuexing looked at his mother and asked angrily. Lin Lan wiped her tears: "Mom is happy, Mom is very happy." ”

Tilting his head and thinking about it, Jiang Xuexing was puzzled: "Then mother, why are you crying?" ”

Ye Xia casually gave his younger brother a head crash: "We are Gao Xin shedding tears, that's not crying, understand?" ”

Rubbing his forehead, Jiang Xuexing puffed out his cheeks, stared wide and complained: "Sister, you hurt me!" ”

Ye Xia laughed, and the rest of the family laughed aloud.

County.

As night fell, the streets and alleys fell into silence, a family home.

"Still don't want to?"

The old man was sitting on the sofa, with a round bun at the back of her head, and the same gray hair, and she was about the old man's wife.

On the single sofa opposite the two, there was a white and handsome boy, if Ye Xia saw the boy, he would definitely be able to recognize it, because the boy was not a bystander, it was the boy with an indifferent expression and a cool and dragging look that she saved on the road at the entrance of the county grain station today.

couldn't wait for his grandson to speak for a long time, Cheng and Grandpa Cheng glanced at each other, and Cheng asked his grandson again: "Jun Lang, I know with your grandfather that you are a sensible child, but you got up this morning to buy steamed buns and fritters at a state-run restaurant, why did you stand in the middle of the road waiting to be hit by a car when you walked to the grain station?" ”

When they heard acquaintances gossiping at noon, their grandson almost had an accident on the road early in the morning, and she almost fell down when she didn't stand firmly.

"I didn't mean to be in the middle of the road, I was just thinking about it."

The boy's name is Cheng Junlang, his demeanor is still as indifferent as white, and he doesn't look like a ten-year-old child at all. Hearing this, Grandpa Cheng asked with a straight face: "Do you need to stand in the middle of the road if you want to do something?" ”

was murdered by his grandfather, Cheng Junlang couldn't see the slightest abnormality on his face. Cheng couldn't help but pat his wife on the arm, and then looked at his grandson with a kind face:

"Jun Lang, have you been unhappy at your father's house all these years? If you are really unhappy, you will come out with your grandfather, even if you beg and ask your mother to give you to your grandfather to raise. ”

His son is miserable, he died in an accident more than half a year after marriage, and his daughter-in-law was pregnant, in order to give the Cheng family and the only son to keep this bloodline, they had to promise their daughter-in-law that when the child was born, the daughter-in-law would raise the child, and the old couple would not see each other before the grandson was five years old, otherwise, the daughter-in-law would take the child away.

Knowing that the daughter-in-law's conditions are unreasonable, but the child is in the daughter-in-law's womb and the son is dead, whether the daughter-in-law wants the child is the daughter-in-law's own right, and they have no right to interfere.

So, they agreed, and even promised to leave the capital and return to their hometown to retire.

For five years, the daughter-in-law is not allowed to appear in front of their grandchildren within five years, and after five years, every winter and summer vacation, they will let their children and grandchildren return to this county town and accompany their two elders.

At the condition of the daughter-in-law, the grandson was born safely, and when the grandson was two years old, the daughter-in-law took the grandson to marry the family's family friend He family and marry his son's good brother.

Get up, the child of the He family is a good one, the daughter-in-law died in childbirth, leaving an infant daughter, they don't know how the daughter-in-law married the He family, but they know that the He family treats their grandson like a parent.

There was a five-year covenant that they had to keep, but in those five years, she and her wife went to the capital at least twice a year to secretly visit their grandchildren.

What they can't understand is that the daughter-in-law obviously had feelings for their son before her son died, but who knew that she would treat her own child, but she was never cold.

Although the child was not greatly wronged, the attitude of being a mother, after the child is sensible, can she have no ideas?

The grandson's surname is Cheng, and he is the grandson of their Cheng family, but because of the agreement back then, they can't return to live with their old couple, and they feel uncomfortable when they think about it.

When she came back from this summer vacation, her grandson looked the same as she was at home during the previous holidays, but she could see that the child had something on her mind, and it was obvious that she was not on her mind.

Cheng Junlang shook his head, and after a moment, he looked at his grandfather and said: "Since I was six years old, I feel as if I have forgotten something very important, but that feeling is not particularly strong, but as I grow up, I feel that the thing that I forgot must be very important to me, but I can't remember it no matter how I think about it." ”

"Just to think about the very important thing you forgot, you walked to the middle of the road and got stunned?"

Cheng asked, seeing that his grandson was very serious and nodded solemnly, Cheng smiled: "You don't remember?" When you were five or almost six years old, you fell and hit the back of your head. ”

"Did I hit the back of my head?"

Cheng Junlang looked puzzled, but he didn't say anything more.

Who knows, Grandpa Cheng glared at his wife: "How many things can a six-year-old child remember, or something very important, don't follow it." ”

What Cheng Junlang didn't have was that, especially today, when he was pulled to the side of the road by that girl, when he heard the girl's father call the girl Xia Xia, he felt that the name "Xia Xia" was so familiar, as if he had often shouted it on his lips, and when the girl criticized and criticized the driver, listening to that tone made him feel so familiar.

However, in his memory of this decade, there is no shadow of a girl. He didn't know that girl, he had been born in the capital for the first five years, grew up in the capital, and only returned to his grandfather's house during the winter and summer vacations for the last five years to spend the winter and summer vacations with his grandfather.

"Go back to the house and sleep, we have to go to Da Lishu Village tomorrow morning."

For the life-saving benefactor, their Cheng family has to thank and thank them, especially the girl who saved the only seedling of his Cheng family, even if it is not known where the family is.

Afterwards, they had to inquire about the address of the person and go to the door to thank them, not to mention that they knew that the family lived in Da Lishu Village below the county, so they had to go over to thank them.

It can be seen that the conversation between Ye Xia and her father outside the state-run hotel was listened to by Cheng Junlang word for word, otherwise, how could Grandpa Cheng know so quickly who the benefactor who saved his grandson was.
