Chapter 51: Finally Home
Xu Wenmin's home was about 6 kilometers from Baijing Town, but because of the inconvenient transportation at the time, she had to take a dilapidated minibus for about 20 minutes to reach the roadside at the entrance of the village, and then walk for about 10 minutes to get home.
Since today is the monthly vacation for the entire third grade of junior high school, and it is the National Day again, the students who live in the first and second years of junior high school will also choose to go home today, so the bus station in Baijingzhen is crowded.
And so many people made Xu Wenmin and several of her fellow villagers and sisters queue up until almost half past five before getting on the bus, but fortunately, in this case, the boys will take the initiative to give up their seats to the girls in order to show themselves, so the bumpy journey is not so uncomfortable because there is a place to sit.
Along the way, several other sisters chatted with great interest about the exams and school in the past few days, but Xu Wenmin was absent-minded.
Because to this day, she has not thought of how to explain to her mother that the Bai family gave her such a large sum of money for no reason, and also helped herself to set the best hospital consultation number in the city.
She was struggling with whether to tell her mother the truth, but she really couldn't find a reason to make her mother believe such a bizarre thing, she couldn't really say that to Tian Rong, that boy liked herself, so she gave herself such a large sum of money.
After thinking hard, she decided to hide it from her mother first, and planned to say that the money was donated to the school by the Red Cross after learning about her family's situation, and the school then conveyed it to her, and also arranged volunteers to take them to the city tomorrow for inspection.
Of course, she was also very entangled, because she had never panicked in her life, and she didn't even hide her mother's serious illness from her mother last time, but this time she really didn't know how to explain it, and at the same time, she was afraid that her traditional mother would think that she had done something she shouldn't have done outside.
In this way, she stopped on the road with her heart all the way, and arrived home at almost 7 o'clock.
And Bai Yaolong, who returned to Yuqing today, is not much better, although there are not many people who go back to the city, but there are very few buses back to the city, about an hour.
When Bai Yaolong went back to pack his luggage and then departed from the shuttle, it was almost 6:15, and he still had to endure more than 2 hours of bumpy rides all the way, and then take a taxi to get home, so when he arrived at home, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening.
Because they knew that Bai Yaolong was going home today, Zeng Hui and Bai Junhua had already prepared a table of meals, but they also miscalculated the time when Bai Yaolong arrived home, although the weather was still relatively hot this season, but by the time Bai Yaolong arrived home, the food was already cold.
Finally, there was a knock on the door, Zeng Hui knew that it was his son who came back, and he couldn't wait to open the door, and after opening the door, Bai Yaolong, who was already half hungry, first asked if there was anything to eat, he was about to starve to death at the staircase.
He had never heard Bai Yaolong shout a hungry word since he was born, and seeing that he finally suffered once, although his heart hurt, he felt that it was also good for his character development.
Seeing that his son was too tired, Zeng Hui hurriedly took his luggage and asked him to wash his hands first, and at the same time shouted to his husband in the house that his son was back and asked Bai Junhua to go to the hot dishes.
After Bai Yaolong arrived home, he washed his face with cold water, he was already hungry and his eyes were full of stars, he didn't care about the cold and hot rice, scooped a spoonful of rice from the rice cooker, came to the table, and ate it happily.
Bai Junhua was also surprised to see him look like a ghost, but he still said with the seriousness that a father should have: "If you are hungry, you will be hungry, and you will know that life is not easy." ”
He said so, but he didn't stop the work in his hand, the stewed chicken, and the fried back to the pot meat were all heated up to Bai Yaolong, and Bai Yaolong didn't know that this old father was now also a knife mouth tofu heart, but he was in his 30s, and his father said that he needed to be beaten by life to understand the difficulty of life, which was really a little wry.
Zeng Hui also came to Bai Yaolong's side, and his mother said warmly: "Son, eat slowly, the chicken legs are still in the pot, your father will warm it up for you in a while, you eat slowly first." ”
Bai Yaolong listened to his mother say such words, and almost squirted out speechlessly, he was such a big person, but his old mother still kept the best chicken legs for herself like a primary school student, for fear that he would not eat well.
It's no wonder that her father said in her previous life that she doted on herself too much, and she didn't have those feelings at that time, until she grew up now, and she didn't know how much her mother loved her.
"Mom, I'm fifteen years old, and I'm not a child, leave the chicken legs for the two of you to eat, I go to school, but I don't have to work hard for you to find money." Bai Yaolong said with some heartache to this old mother who broke her heart for herself but still loved her.
I was very happy to see him so sensible, so I hurriedly served him vegetables, and asked at the same time: "You are starting to be sensible now, tell your mother how you are doing at school recently, by the way, how is the exam today." ”
At this time, Bai's father also brought the chicken soup and said that he would eat it first, and then he would go to heat other dishes, but as soon as he turned around, he was grabbed by Bai Yaolong and said to him: "Dad, don't be hot, I'm almost full, I haven't seen you for a long time, sit down together and have a good meal as a family." ”
His behavior made Bai Junhua unbelievable, glanced at his wife next to him, and saw that she was also looking at him with a smile, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's have a good meal together as a family." ”
After speaking, he also sat down, Zeng Hui continued to ask him about the things in school, Bai Yaolong also told the truth about his daily life and study, and Bai Junhua finally felt a little unconvinced: "You said that you are confident to score 400 points this time, is it true or false, at your level, it is not bad not to hand in a blank paper." ”
Although Zeng Hui knew about his son and Xu Wenmin, he didn't expect the effect to be so outstanding, this is not yet half a term, but his son dared to boast about Haikou in the first monthly exam, so he was also skeptical: "Xiaolong, don't be ashamed, give us hope and disappointment, you can tell me how the test went, as long as you do your best, your parents won't blame you." ”
Bai Yaolong looked at his parents' expectant but afraid that he was lying, he simply expressed the words of pity for the world's parents to the extreme, and he was also a little ashamed in his heart, so he put down the bowl and said:
"Dad, Mom, you have worked hard, don't worry, I will definitely score 400 points in this exam, I am sure."
The two looked at Bai Yaolong, who had never seen a serious look they had never seen before, and glanced at each other, and also saw that there was a little bit of trust in each other's eyes.
