Chapter 038: Ambition
Jiang Xuejin is the eldest brother, and when he saw that his younger brother Jiang Xuexing couldn't run fast, he directly picked up the child and jogged over with his third brother Jiang Xueshen. Seeing that his mother was carrying a big suitcase, Jiang Xueyan stepped forward with great insight and took it from him: "This suitcase is so good-looking, Mom, you and my dad bought it in the Beijing Department Store?" ”
Lin Lan smiled and shook her head: "No, this suitcase was given to Xia Xia by Jun Lang's father." ”
Jiang Xueyan said "oh", and then stingy the weight of the suitcase in his hand, he: "Shen, there are a lot of things in it, right?" ”
Ye Xia took her younger brother's hand and walked beside her eldest brother and third brother, and when she heard her second brother's words, she couldn't help but turn around: "It's packed with a lot of things, Uncle He gave me a gift, and I bought a gift for our family." ”
The family walked into the village with their front feet, and the snowflakes that had stopped this morning fell from the sky again one after another, and the fall became bigger and bigger, and it didn't take long for everything on the ground to be covered in silver, and the view was extremely beautiful.
"Mom and Dad, this is your gift."
Opening the suitcase, Ye Xia took out a gray and red cashmere scarf and handed it to her parents:
"It's very warm around my neck, Mom and Dad try it, and also, I bought these two pieces of cotton for Mom and Dad, oh, by the way, these things are very convenient, Uncle He has an acquaintance who works in a department store,
There was a batch of defective goods in the warehouse, no tickets, low prices, for internal staff to sell, and when I learned that I wanted to buy gifts for our family, Uncle He took me to find his friend, so I bought more change. ”
Except for the clothes and leather boots that the Jin family, the Zhao family, and the Li family bought for her, as well as a few gifts she bought in the mall, other things are undoubtedly from the space.
"These two scarves and two cotton coats belong to my grandfather, and I will send them to my grandfather in a moment. I almost forgot, I bought gifts for my aunt and uncle, and I will take them to my grandfather's house later, and then I will give them when my aunt's family comes back to visit my grandfather. ”
After a pause, she gestured out of the suitcase to take things out, in fact, her hands were under the clothes, and she took things out of the space through her mind: "Big brother, second brother, third brother, five, give, these four pens are for you, and then there are these cotton jackets, one for each of you." ”
Jiang Xuexing blinked and looked at his sister with a pair of bright and curious eyes: "Sister, sister, how can you have so many things in your suitcase?" ”
Meng Meng's voice rose in the room, and when he heard this, Ye Xia's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he smiled: "Because this suitcase is big enough!" ”
The suitcase is opened, but in order to facilitate the removal of things from the space, the lid of the suitcase is only half-opened, so as not to cover part of the sight of the house, so as not to be exposed.
After distributing the gifts at home and taking out all the gifts for grandpa and aunt's family, Ye Xiafang opened the suitcase completely: "The rest are all bought for me by Uncle Jin's family, Uncle Zhao's family, Uncle Li's family, and Uncle He's family." ”
Not counting the contents of the suitcase, three of the four travel bags that her parents brought back from Beijing were either malt essence and flour, or pastries and canned food, as well as sugar, sugar, brown sugar and other non-staple foods.
In fact, she doesn't want any of these, after all, she is still in a famine year, even in Beijing, people are very short of food, how can she accept good things from others?
Even if the status of several families is not ordinary, and the money and food are not as scarce as ordinary people, as an outsider, no matter how thick-skinned he is, it is difficult to take what others give him for granted. But no matter how much she shirked it, things were finally piled up in front of her.
Maybe this is to return people, she has no purpose in saving people, but the family of the rescued person feels that this is a great favor for them, so they don't want to feel indebted, so they buy this and buy that to give her, just to have peace of mind. Even so, and she really couldn't refuse, she could only keep those things.
"The clothes sold in department stores in this big city are just good-looking."
Lin Lan took a red tweed and looked at it, and said to Ye Xia: "You will wear this for the Chinese New Year this year, it must be both beautiful and festive." ”
Ye Xia nodded, and said in a sweet voice: "I listen to my mother, and I will wear this red shirt during the New Year." But from the bottom of her heart, in the countryside, she feels more comfortable, warmer, and more comfortable wearing a padded jacket, but it is nothing other than how many to wear during the Chinese New Year.
"Mom, Aunt Li's third daughter-in-law started in the middle of the night, but the child was not born, and the mother died together."
Jiang Xueshen ate the pastries given by Ye Xia, and suddenly said this, hearing this, Lin Lan was stunned, and immediately asked, "Didn't you send it to the health center?" ”
"Aunt Li picks the door so much, how can she send people to the health center? No matter how poor Aunt Li's family is, even if she wants to send it to the health center, she can't get the money. ”
Jiang Xue was cautious, paused, and continued: "Aunt Li didn't invite Aunt Jiang to help deliver the baby at home, and she and his eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law delivered the third daughter-in-law. ”
Ye Xia sat next to the kang box, pursed his lips and said nothing. Giving birth to a child in this era is undoubtedly a ghost door, even if a pregnant woman is sent to the hospital to give birth, the probability of an accident is far greater than in modern times.
The medical conditions are backward, people's awareness of pregnancy and childbirth is not enough, and the economic conditions are limited.
"Did Brother Jianmin get the child back?"
The Li family and the Jiang family are not related to each other, because of the negligence of their own family, resulting in the daughter-in-law having one corpse and two lives, which is the same for Lin Lanlai, but only that.
It's not that Lin Lan is hard-hearted, it's in their poor and remote place, a woman dies of hemorrhage after giving birth, or she has a difficult birth and two lives, there is nothing to be surprised about.
However, when she gave birth to their five children, she went to the health center, and she didn't need to mention it before she gave birth, so the man borrowed the village ox cart to pull her over, but she didn't have to give birth
What a great sin?
Jiang Xueshen heard this, and pursed his lips, "Mom, you just don't believe it, the whole village is talking about it, Sanniu was thrown away by Brother Jianmin and Cuilian's sister-in-law, since they were all thrown away, how could they get it back?" ”
Ye Xia's eyes flashed slightly, she knew where the third girl was, but she would never come out.
"People didn't look for it at all, so let's not be idle."
Jiang Xueyan interjected, looking at the second and third brothers, Lin Lan sighed: "It's not that my mother wants to take care of it, my mother just thinks that the third girl's child is pitiful." ”
Born with twists and turns, he was thrown to the mountain by his father, found by his mother, and was saved by her daughter again.
"Pity is pitiful, but maybe Sanniu will be picked up by some kind person, and she doesn't need to suffer again in her own home."
Jiang Xuejin said at this time.
Jiang An took a sip of water from the enamel jar, "Okay, don't worry about the three girls, those in our village who have more daughters, some of them are more desperate than the Jianmin family." ”
Jiang Xueshen raised his hand: "I know, I know, some people don't want girls, so they just strangle to death when they are born, or drown in a bucket." ”
"Don't be blind!"
Lin Lan glared at her third child, and then said to Jiang An: "I'll cook." ”
Jiang An put the enamel jar in his hand on the table: "Let's go." ”
As long as he is at home, he will help his daughter-in-law when cooking, and use her daughter-in-law's words, men and women are matched, and they are not tired of working.
"Daddy is resting, I'm going to help Mom cook."
Ye Xia got up and down the kang, but before the cotton shoes were put on her feet, she was hugged back to the kang by her father: "Although Dr. Chen's injuries are almost healed, my father thinks you still need to pay more attention, and the work in this house is not allowed to touch your hands in the future, remember?" ”
"I'll be called a lazy girl by others."
Ye Xia deliberately puffed out his cheeks and said seriously: "And I don't want to be a rice worm either." ”
Jiang Xuejin was curious: "Rice worms? ”
Ye Xia explained: "It's just the insects born in the rice, they don't do anything, they hide in the rice bag and only know how to eat." ”
As soon as she said this, the family laughed. Lin Lan's eyes doted: "My daughter is the most diligent, but she is not a rice worm." ”
Jiang An echoed with a smile: "That's right, our family Xia Xia is the most diligent, but even if my daughter is a rice worm, our family can afford it." ”
"Now it's my parents who raise my sister as a rice worm, and when I grow up, I will raise my sister and let my sister be a happy rice worm."
Jiang Xuexing said angrily, causing the family to laugh again, Ye Xia hugged his younger brother and kissed the guy on the head: "Five pairs of sisters are really good, but my sister doesn't need you to raise them." ”
Being kissed by his sister, Jiang Xuexing's face flushed, obviously shy, and Ye Xia couldn't help laughing: "This is shy?" Sister kiss you yo! "My sister too."
The sound was raised, and Jiang Xuexing kissed his sister on the cheek, and then, he was very serious: "When I grow up, I want to be a public security officer, and I will catch a lot of bad people." ”
This was so clueless, not only Ye Xia was stunned, but the rest of the family was also stunned, and they all looked at the guy.
"Why do you want to be a police officer?"
Ye Xia asked.
Jiang Xuexing looked at her, then at her parents, and brothers, and said in a loud voice: "I don't want my sister to meet bad people again." ”
He is, but he hears from his brothers' mouths what happened to his sister in Beijing. Almost, he almost lost his sister.
Ye Xia hugged her younger brother, her heart was warm, and she said: "Then you must study hard and apply for the Public Security University when you grow up, so that you can become an excellent public security officer." ”
Jiang An stretched out a thumbs up to his son: "Five ambitions, Dad is waiting for you to be admitted to the Public Security University." ”
, he looked at the eldest and second: "Have you thought about what to do in the future?" ”
Jiang Xue thought for a while and replied: "I like foreign languages, if I can be admitted to the Beijing Foreign Chinese College, I hope to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after graduation." ”
Jiang An's eyes widened: "Boss, you don't have this ambition!" ”
Jiang Xuejin pursed his lips and smiled embarrassedly: "I just don't know if I can be admitted." ”
"If you don't work hard, you won't be able to pass the exam, as long as you work hard, maybe you can really succeed." Jiang An called the eldest son, and then he moved his gaze to the second child: "What about you?" What do you think? ”
Jiang Xueyan scratched the back of his head: "I haven't thought about it for the time being." ”
"Then think about it, don't be confused and just know how to study."
Jiang An said with a straight face, and when he heard the words, Jiang Xueyan muttered: "How can I die studying?" I just haven't thought about it for a while! ”
His voice is very strong, and if you don't listen carefully, it's hard to hear clearly. Feeling his father's gaze, Jiang Xueshen was stunned at first, and then sat up straight: "I want to be a pilot!" ”
Jiang An nodded: "Yes, study hard." ”
Seeing her father's gaze looking at her, Ye Xia opened her mouth and was about to speak, clinker, her father spoke directly: "Xia Xia likes to read medical books, and then strives to be a great doctor." ”
Lin Lan was very supportive: "The doctor is very powerful, wearing a white coat, treating diseases and saving people, this is a very sacred profession." ”
Before she returned to the town with her father and mother, she had just graduated from the girls' junior high school, and she was thinking that she would finish high school and apply for medical college.
has been a medical researcher for two lifetimes, Ye Xia wants to change her career in this life, and now her parents want her to be a doctor, how to answer this? Otherwise, you should accept it first, and then make a decision when you fill in the college entrance examination?
Thinking like this, Ye Xia's eyes were bent into crescent moons, his smile was sweet, he nodded, and said softly: "I want to skip a grade to study in the sixth grade after school starts." ”
She wants to live the childhood life of a normal child, but if she really sits with a group of children, every time she wastes time, this is invisibly cruel to her.
Squat in the fourth grade in the half semester, squat in the sixth grade in the half semester, and then take the graduation exam before the summer vacation next year, and go to the first year of junior high school in September, and continue to skip grades depending on the situation.
Anyway, this school, junior high and high school came to her, in fact, in addition to writing, it was just fun, relaxing!
……
Grandpa Jiang had a few doubts about Jiang An's family when they were out and not at home, but they couldn't ask anything from Jiang Xuejin's mouth, and the two couldn't help but feel a little worried about Jiang An's two children, thinking if Jiang An and Lin Lan had any physical diseases, they ran to the city hospital, and even went to the provincial hospital for physical examination, and then were hospitalized for treatment.
Of course, this is their conjecture, as for whether this is the case, the two old men naturally do not know.
"Grandpa!!"
After lunch, Jiang An walked into the old mansion with a travel bag in one hand and his daughter in the other. Hearing the sweet call of his good granddaughter, Jiang immediately responded: "Here, sit on the kang with your grandfather, come in, it's snowing outside and it's very cold!" ”
As Jiang Yin fell, Ye Xia was led into the bedroom by her father.
The two of them shook off the snowflakes on their heads in the hall, and when they entered the bedroom, Ye Xia smiled at the two old men: "Grandpa, I'm back!" Arrived home at noon. ”
Jiang An put the travel bag on the edge of the kang, then took off his cotton shoes, picked up his daughter and sat on the kang: "Xia Xia encountered something in Beijing, Principal Peng called back, Xia Xia and her mother didn't care about you, so we rushed to Beijing."
Hearing this, Jiang: "They all know it, right?" ”
Without waiting for Jiang An to nod, he listened to the old lady again: "What Xia Xia encountered is not simple, otherwise the two of you will rush to Beijing in a hurry, and you won't even have time to give us a sound, and let the four Xuejin brothers hide it from us." ”
"That's ......"
The girl had returned home safely, Jiang An thought about it, and decided to tell the second elder what happened to Ye Xia in Beijing.
After about twenty minutes passed, Jiang An's voice fell, and he saw the second elder looking directly at his daughter with distressed eyes.
Ye Xia blinked, with a true expression: "Grandpa, my injuries are almost healed, don't be scared by my father." ”
Grandpa Jiang came back to his senses, his eyes were kind, and he said slowly: "You girl is a little bit, but you don't do a thing outside, although those things are all good things, but Grandpa doesn't want you to risk your own safety in the future." ”
"Hmm."
Ye Xia nodded obediently, and then, she motioned to her father to hand over the travel bag on the side of the kang, comprehending the meaning of the girl, Jiang An immediately picked up the travel bag and put it in front of the girl.
"Grandpa, I bought this cashmere scarf and padded jacket for you at the Beijing Department Store, and these photos were taken at a few points in Anmen and the Forbidden City, you can take a look."
After a pause, she took out a roll of money tickets from her pocket and handed it to Jiang: "I didn't spend the money tickets you gave, as for the things I bought, it was an uncle who helped me buy some defective products from a department store, and it didn't cost much." ”
A white lie is not called a lie in Ye Xia, she just wants to make her family live better under her own ability.
However, the age limit makes it impossible for her to take out more things to improve the life of her family.
"Mother, you can keep the money ticket, our family Xia Xia writes a story to the provincial newspaper, and you can get thirty or forty yuan a month, which is a few dollars more than the monthly salary of an ordinary worker in the city, and besides, Xia Xia's mother works in the supply and marketing cooperative, and she can get thirty yuan a month, and our family has a good life."
Jiang An said so, and closed the money ticket that the girl put in the palm of the old lady's hand: "The cashmere scarf and cotton jacket that Xia Xia bought are very warm, mother, you and my father put on the cotton jacket and try it, and then wrap the scarf around it and feel the feeling." ”
The scarves were warm, the cotton clothes were closed, and Jiang and Grandpa Jiang were very happy to receive the gift from their good granddaughter. Ye Xia smiled sweetly: "I bought the gift for my grandfather with my manuscript fee, and I will buy more gifts for my grandfather in the future." ”
"Enjoy the blessing of the seven-year-old granddaughter, this whole brigade has been except for you and me, I'm afraid there is no third person."
Jiang smiled and said to Grandpa Jiang. Hearing this, Grandpa Jiang nodded: "It is estimated that the entire Hongqu Town, we have this blessing." ”
Jiang An rubbed his daughter's head: "Dad, mother, why did you and I give birth to such a powerful girl?" Smart and sensible, and beautiful, really, in recent months, I am proud of Xia Xia, very proud! ”
Grandpa Jiang snorted lightly, and his words were disgusted: "Without me and your mother, can you have such a good girl as Xia Xia?" ”
"Dad, look at what you said, I'm just proud and proud of having a girl like Xia Xia, no ...... around"
