Ye Xingyan's mother has been very happy these days, the kind of little expression that strongly wants to let the men, women and children in the village know that her daughter is admitted to the market and wants to pretend that she doesn't care too much, is really too difficult to grasp, but she still interprets it just right.

The neighbors in the village also knew about it one after another, and they colluded in private.

"Shouldn't you give someone some money?"

"If you develop in the future, you can't forget about us, so how much is appropriate?"

"You can't give too little, you can't take it, so you can't give too much, right?"

"In case that kid white-eyed wolf doesn't recognize us in the future, besides, it will be a few years to go to college in the future, and maybe we'll have to give it when we get admitted to college!"

"Why don't you let Shufending, you name it, we will listen to you!"

The neighbors began to discuss with each other, and finally focused their eyes on Shufen.

Shufen cleared her throat and said: "Giving must be given, but we are all poor peasants, just mean it, it's all a little heart, don't be too embarrassed yourself, don't we all have a bunch of things to deal with at home?" Just give this number! He gestured a number in the air.

So, as the representative of the villagers, Shufen took the red envelope of the fund-raising and Ye Xingyan's mother at the door of the house for a while, one said that it was a little bit of the villagers' heart, and the other said that she was embarrassed to accept it, and finally ended the tug of war with Ye Xingyan's mother pretending to be reluctant to accept it.

Ye Xingyan took in everything through the window of the house, trying his best to understand the sophistication of these adults.

Ye Xingyan's seven aunts and eight aunts also sent sincere greetings, Ye Xingyan achieved good results, in fact, the person she wanted to share the most was her grandmother. She was fostered by her mother at her grandmother's house since she was born, her grandmother was a very kind and charitable old man, in her grandmother's era when she still regarded food as a lifelong goal, there were many beggars, whenever she met a beggar passing by the door, her grandmother would always scoop a bowl of the few stick noodles or other food in the family to give to the beggars, sometimes catch up with the meal, those beggars are even more blessed. Her grandmother always said that people must also have a good heart in order to have a good relationship.

Ye Xingyan rushed to her grandmother's house with the nutritional products her mother bought for her grandmother to report the good news, in fact, her mother had already called her grandmother before this. But for Ye Xingyan, it is only formal to tell his grandmother in person.

Her grandmother's house is a very common typical northern residence, the middle of the house is a living room, a hut on each side, one of the huts is next to the kitchen, some people will build a courtyard wall for the house, Ye Xingyan's grandmother's house does not have it, the yard is not big, next to the road, there are a lot of stone benches on the side of the yard, sometimes people who are tired of walking by will sit on it to rest, which is one of the reasons why Ye Xingyan's grandmother does not repair the courtyard wall. In the summer evening, there will be a lot of neighbors who enjoy the shade gathered in this small courtyard, sitting on the stone bench blowing the summer breeze, chatting about the parents' shortcomings, chatting to the end, talking about the summer heat replaced by the coolness of the night, people are reluctant to step home, her grandmother every time no matter how tired and tired she is, will accompany the guests, until the last guest leaves, she will return home to sleep, sometimes her grandfather is free, will move the TV to the yard to receive the line for them to watch, watch the drama over and over again, and then there is a gentle breeze and a few frog calls, life is very comfortable.

But these things are only in Ye Xingyan's memory, since he came to junior high school to live in his own house, he has rarely had time to feel the leisurely life of her grandmother's house.

She was given a lofty goal by her family, to study hard and get out of the city to see the outside world.

Ye Xingyan walked through a mountain road, a big turn connected to a downhill, this is here, standing here and looking straight at the past is her grandmother's house, although there is still a distance of about 1 kilometer, there is a small river, from the path with a gap in the middle of other people's crops, and then walk 50 meters of the path to arrive, but every time she can see her grandmother's figure from a distance, always when she knows that she is coming, she will go to the yard every few minutes to look at it, until the person who is sure to look forward to appear, then go back to the house with peace of mind and start preparing meals.

Ye Xingyan's grandmother is best at sauerkraut instant noodles, and in that era when there were no Laotan sauerkraut instant noodles, her grandmother was a pioneer.

Ye Xingyan saw her grandmother from a distance, so she took three steps and two steps to hurry up, the drought in the past few years has caused the water of this small river to dry up, and this small river that carried their countless happiness is now only stones and sand are left to depend on each other.

When Ye Xingyan walked to the door of the house, her grandmother came out again, Ye Xingyan was also very happy, and hurriedly shouted "Grandma, grandma...".

When her grandmother saw the things she was holding in her hand, she quickly stepped forward to take them, and blamed: "This child, don't let your mother buy things for you, spend money indiscriminately, and save money for you to use when you go to school." ”

Ye Xingyan said: "Don't worry, grandma, these things are not expensive!" ”

"It's not expensive and it's not allowed to spend money, grandma has everything, and she doesn't lack anything!"

"Okay, knowing grandma, you don't lack anything, the most blessed."

As soon as he entered the door, Ye Xingyan smelled the familiar smell of noodles.

"Grandma, did you cook noodles for me?"

"This dog's nose, true spirit!" Grandma smiled and put down the box in her hand and hurriedly went to give Ye Xingyan noodles.

Ye Xingyan took the first step to walk to the pot and picked up the bowl prepared by his grandmother next to him, "I'll come by myself, grandma!" ”

"Okay, good, do it yourself"

Ye Xingyan filled a full bowl, and her grandmother looked at her with satisfaction, for fear that she would only hold half a bowl of rice.

Ye Xingyan devoured it, and her grandmother sat across the table and looked at it with a smile, telling interesting stories about her childhood, and reminiscing about those watery years.

There was a sudden noise outside the house, and the two got up in unison, afraid that their grandfather had returned. Ye Xingyan rushed out in a hurry, and he admired this grandfather Ye Xingyan very much.

Her grandfather works in an auto repair company, supporting a family of seven by himself, making a good meal, in that era of food scarcity, he can make the most ordinary ingredients with different tastes, and do not waste ingredients, he likes geography and history, Ye Xingyan has read all geography and history books, in Ye Xingyan's impression, every time he sends a new book, he can always see his grandfather wearing reading glasses and reading through the light that comes in through the window. Every year during the Spring Festival, the neighbors and villagers go to the house to line up and wait for his grandfather to write couplets, the brooms, dustpans, baskets, etc. at home are made of bamboo and wood by his grandfather, in Ye Xingyan's eyes, his grandfather is an omnipotent genius, such a person can live to at least 99, Ye Xingyan always thinks that God will favor such a person.

Ye Xingyan rushed out of the door, sure enough, it was his grandfather, he was parking his 28 weighted bicycle that he had ridden for more than ten years, and the last time Ye Xingyan rode in this car was when he was sick when he was 10 years old.

It was when she was in the fourth grade of primary school, and when she first went to school in the morning, she didn't notice anything abnormal in her body, and she played with her classmates during class, jumped rubber bands, and threw sandbags, and gradually felt that she couldn't lift her spirits, and felt dizzy, and felt that her face was a little hot, and it seemed that the teacher had noticed it, but she didn't come forward to ask, and after about a while, the teacher stood on the podium near the teacher's door and called Ye Xingyan's name, Ye Xingyan went out in a trance, Seeing her grandfather pushing a bicycle like a cedar standing straight not far from the door of the classroom, after seeing Ye Xingyan, he quickly supported the foot support of the bicycle, put her up on the back seat of the bicycle, hurriedly said hello to the teacher and pushed the car out of the school gate. It was about 15 minutes by bicycle from school to her grandmother's house, and her grandfather didn't dare to ride a bicycle all the way, so he walked cautiously, and retreated for more than half an hour, for fear that Ye Xingyan would fall. When passing by the cooperative on the way, his grandfather stopped the car and told Ye Xingyan not to move in the back seat, and walked into the cooperative to buy a large package of small round biscuits, which was the first time Ye Xingyan had seen his grandfather so extravagant. When she returned to her grandmother's house, she wrapped her tightly and told her to lie on the bed and not move, boiled a pot of strange soup with a smell of coriander and drank it for a week, and all her satiety was provided by the small round biscuits that her grandfather bought, and her grandmother repeatedly told her not to chew, but to hold them in her mouth and wait for the biscuits to melt before swallowing. It wasn't until later that Ye Xingyan realized that she had a disease called Huahua in the village, which was contagious to a certain extent, and could be infected by slight contact.

Grandpa rarely smiled in Ye Xingyan's memory, at that time she didn't understand the sorrow of adults, but secretly admired and admired her grandfather's talent.

She called her grandfather, her grandfather responded silently, unloaded a thick cloth bag from the handlebar, and the two returned to the house one after another, Ye Xingyan watched her grandfather take out the melons and plums in the cloth bag, found a large basin, scooped up some warm water and began to scrub, Ye Xingyan stood on the side and watched, just like her grandfather rolling dough on the board when she was a child, she stood aside and stared intently, the dough was gradually rolled out, the thinner the dough became, and finally rolled on the long rolling pin, and used a knife to draw a knife in the direction of the rolling pin, and the dough was spread out along the rolling pin to both sidesIt becomes a lot of dough stacked on top of each other, and then all the dough is cut into strips, so that the handmade noodles are ready. Grandpa was always so capable, frowning silently, and his two dark eyebrows were long and thick, and they stood out on a pair of wrinkled eyes. When my grandfather was young, he was also a handsome guy with outstanding facial features, and his bright eyes revealed a resolute wisdom.

Ye Xingyan borrowed fruit from his grandfather, and took it and nibbled on it, the plums were sweet and sour, just like life.

As a reward for the key points of the examination, Ye Xingyan's mother allowed Ye Xingyan to go to the barber shop to perm her hair, you must know that perming her hair is Ye Xingyan's dream for many years, her hair is naturally yellow, her hair is fluffy and hard, and the amount of hair is scary, she never dares to try to loosen her hair easily, even if she washes her hair and is half dry, she will hurriedly tie it up, she has always dreamed that one day her hair can become obedient, even if she is scattered, it can be as light and flowing as the hair of those girls on TV.

The first time he entered the barber shop, Ye Xingyan was a little expectant and a little nervous, and made the most expensive ion perm in their shop under the flicker of the barber, which is said to be the most popular perm hair for girls at the moment, and it can also achieve the smooth hair effect that Ye Xingyan wants.

Shampooing, applying potions, lighting lamps, shampooing, splinting, styling... and so on, after sitting there for about two hours, Ye Xingyan realized for the first time that girls can be so persistent for the sake of beauty.

Ye Xingyan carefully cared for it with a smooth ion perm, strictly following the barber's explanation not to tie his hair for three days and not washing his hair for a week, Ye Xingyan carefully brushed his hair aside every night when he went to bed, for fear that one would accidentally bend it.
