Wang Defa has suffered from gains and losses during this time, and has been fighting against himself all the time.

At present, in addition to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the most important thing is to prepare Wang Chenglong to go to school.

Ma Xiu'e personally accompanied Jackie Chan on the street to choose her favorite bed sheets and quilt covers, and she wanted to sew quilts for Wang Chenglong herself.

At first, Wang Defa didn't let Ma Xiu'e sew, saying that the sheets and bedding were written on the notice, and they could be bought at school. Ma Xiu'e was unwilling, so she had to sew a comfortable set of bedding for Jackie Chan by herself.

Other precautions, the notice is very clear, Wang Defa prepared things for Jackie Chan one by one in accordance with the above requirements.

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are still late-ripening watermelons on the street, Wang Defa bought two large watermelons, and there are many fruits, and the moon cakes are made by Ma Xiu'e herself.

The Mid-Autumn Festival of the family had a happy time.

Wang Chenglong also made a joke about his younger brother and said: "Guisheng, now, our family is two families, and you also have your own home." ”

Wang Guisheng laughed vigorously when he heard it, and the narcissus on the side looked at Guisheng and smiled, and he laughed too.

After Wang Defa finished eating the sumptuous meal on the Mid-Autumn Festival, he found a small stool, and I don't know where he found a plastic bottle of loose wine, took a spoon, pried open a watermelon he bought, scooped the watermelon juice vigorously in it with a spoon, and then put it into a plastic bottle.

"Dad, a good watermelon, you should kill and eat it, what are you doing here?" Wang Chenglong looked at her father and said.

"You don't know this, this is the homemade watermelon juice drink that Dad gave you, and I will bring it to you on the way to school tomorrow."

Wang Chenglong listened to Wang De's words and watched Wang Defa keep squeezing out the watermelon juice with a spoon, but he couldn't say anything. The man in front of her who squeezed watermelon juice for him was her father who she hated and held grudges against over the years.

There are a few people in the town who are going to report like Wang Chenglong tomorrow, the school is different, and they can't make an appointment together, and Wang Chenglong doesn't even have a classmate with him.

Wang Defa told her as early as half a month when Ma Xiu'e cooked for Wang Chenglong, and if Wang Chenglong was admitted, he would ask Ma Xiu'e to send it with him. Ma Xiu'e hasn't gone to the provincial capital yet, Wang Defa did this because he wanted to take her to the provincial capital. In fact, Wang Defa has nothing to yearn for in the provincial capital. The hospital there can't cure your illness. Sending Wang Chenglong this time, in terms of mood, is much better than taking Guisheng to check every time.

In the evening, the whole family was reluctant to let Wang Chenglong sit in the house and chat for a long time. If Wang Defa hadn't asked everyone to go to bed early, it is estimated that they would have been able to talk until dawn. Even Wang Chenglong's grandmother sat on the kang with kind eyes, looking at her college student granddaughter.

"Let's go to sleep, I'll have to catch the car tomorrow morning." Wang Defa told everyone to stop talking and go to bed quickly.

Ma Xiu'e went to the backyard to go to the toilet, although the street lights in the backyard were on, she was still a little frightened, fortunately, the toilet was close to the sheepfold, and the sheep in the pen would stand up as soon as they heard the sound of people, and occasionally "bleated" twice, these calls made people who came to the backyard to go to the toilet at night not feel so afraid.

When Ma Xiu'e was about to go back to the house, her eyes skimmed the sheepfold, and when she went to the toilet just now, she felt that today's sheep cry was not as noisy as usual. She looked at it, there was one sheep missing, and wondered if she was wrong, Ma Xiu'e counted it carefully, yes, it was one sheep missing, a big sheep.

Ma Xiu'e is in a hurry, why is the sheep gone. Hurry back to the house.

"Old man, old man, there is one less sheep in the pen, and the sheep is lost." Ma Xiu'e looked anxious.

"What? Can the sheep in the pen be lost? ”

"yes, a big sheep is gone, I just found it when I went to the bathroom."

The sheep can still be lost in the pen, Wang Defa can't understand who has such courage to steal the sheep in broad daylight, Wang Defa didn't believe it, got up and prepared to go to the sheepfold.

Guisheng's reaction was slow, and when Wang Defa was about to walk to the door, he grabbed Wang Defa's clothes and said weakly: "Sheep, sheep, I'm sold!" ”

Everyone in the room was stunned.

"Guisheng, you say it again!" Wang Defa couldn't control his emotions anymore.

Wang Guisheng didn't speak, took out six hundred yuan from his pocket, and without saying anything, he stuffed it to Wang Chenglong.

"Sister, money, money, you, use it for school, use it!"

Guisheng's words were not loud, but everyone could hear them clearly.

Wang Chenglong did not refuse the money stuffed by his younger brother, and said with ruddy eyes: "Silly brother! Then the choked tears fell.

After breaking free from his anger, Wang Defa said: "Guisheng, how much did you sell the sheep?" Six hundred? ”

"Hmm!"

"Are you stupid, the sheep was bought for 600 yuan, and after more than a year of hard work, you sold it again at the original price." Wang Defa scolded Guisheng.

Wang Guisheng didn't speak, his father was right, he was stupid.

"Okay, okay, don't fight, sell it, sell it, as long as you don't lose it. Old man, don't be expensive, the child is a good heart, besides, the sheep was originally noble. Ma Xiu'e hurried to round the field.

Narcissus couldn't hear what everyone was arguing about, and when she saw Guisheng stuffing money into his sister, she understood in her heart. His hand kept dragging Wang Guisheng and asked him to hurry back to the house to sleep.

In the dead of night, Wang Defa lay on the kang and couldn't sleep.

The excitement of going out tomorrow and Wang Guisheng's sale of sheep made him more and more sober.

What he was angry about was that Wang Guisheng sold the sheep he had worked so hard to raise, only a fool could do such a thing, who else could blame, Guisheng's stupidity was not his own retribution.

In his heart, he was more relieved. Suddenly, his worries and worries about Jackie Chan leaving and your family seemed to have an answer.

In these three children, Wang Defa suddenly felt that his worries about his twilight years were completely superfluous. Guisheng's original purpose of raising sheep was to provide for his sister to go to college, because Wang Defa didn't want his eldest sister to study. He said and did it. It's just a pity that Wang Guisheng's business mind is not like Wang Defa at all.

Wang Guisheng sold the sheep secretly and sold it, he has already started a family, he should have the right to make his own decisions, he calmed down, and he no longer blamed Guisheng, life, in the end, he still has to live by himself.

At five o'clock in the morning, it was still dark outside, Wang Defa's family had all gotten up, Ma Xiu'e was busy cooking poached eggs for everyone in the kitchen, and the buns were already on the table.

Wang Chenglong carefully checked her things, especially various documents and admission letters, which she packed in her bag.

Wang Defa rolled the prepared bedding into a bucket and put it in a clean white cloth bag he found. After tying it with a rope, I pulled two straps according to the size of my shoulders, then tried it on my back and put it down again.

Narcissus helps you in the kitchen, and Guisheng sits in the house and doesn't say a word.

My brother has also started school, and high school started a week earlier than other grades, so whether she could send her sister to the meeting was not necessarily. She didn't say a word, she just sat there.

The family was eating poached eggs, and people came to the house one after another. Relatives and friends who have a good relationship with Wang Defa's family know that Wang Chenglong is going to college today and come to see him off.

What about the people who came, one hundred and eighty yuan stuffed Wang Chenglong with some money, Wang Chenglong refused at first, but when he saw Wang Defa nodding, he handed it down one by one. Although Wang Defa is a businessman, but he can do this well, no matter what he says, they are all acquaintances, and more money and less money are favors, Wang Defa remembered this feeling, and asked Wang Chenglong to put away the money himself, he wanted Wang Chenglong to remember this love.

The last to enter the door was Li Qiyang, which is understandable, after all, their home is far away, and if they can catch up early this morning, he must go out early.

Since Wang Chenglong's college entrance examination, Li Qiyang's attitude towards Wang Defa has changed a lot, perhaps it is time for Li Qiyang to understand that Wang Defa is not easy, Ma Xiu'e, as Li Yueping's younger brother, should also be the time to turn over.

"Thank you for sending Jackie Chan to college, I didn't prepare anything, don't be surprised." Wang De sent it to all the people in the room.

Everyone was full of smiles on their faces, and they blessed Wang Chenglong from the bottom of their hearts.

"Jackie Chan, when you go out, you must take care of yourself!"

"At school, let people everywhere and protect yourself."

"You still have to study hard in college, you have a smart head, don't relax"

……

Everyone told Wang Chenglong.

After eating poached eggs, the time was almost up, Wang Defa packed up his things, and let Wang Chenglong only carry his personal schoolbag, and other things were already in everyone's hands, so don't worry about it.

"Go to the county and take a car, or take a car passing through the town and go to the provincial capital?" Li Qiyang asked Wang Defa.

"Just take a car on Zhenzhong Street, and go to the county to walk to the bus station, there are many things, and it is inconvenient." Wang Defa said.

Zhenzhong Street is a section of the old national highway, and there are many cars coming and going to the provincial capital on the national highway, and it is also convenient. If there are too many things and it is inconvenient to go to the county seat to take the car at the county station, many people choose to wait for the passing bus on the side of the road. The only difference is that when you take the shuttle bus of this county, everyone is a fellow villager of the same county, and you can take care of each other when you walk on the road, but the passing car is different, and people must take care of their own people. For example, if you take a long-distance bus in this county, if you get motion sickness or are convenient on the way, the driver will definitely stop in time to let everyone solve the problem; If it is a passing car, it will be different, in order to be in a hurry, so that the whole trip will not be disrupted because of a person from another county.

Of course, these are just a few examples, not surprising, and they are not something to be judged morally.

The passing car will arrive in the town at half past seven every day, the time is fixed, and the road runs for more than four hours, and it is just noon when it arrives in the provincial capital.

Most of the people who sent Wang Chenglong were sent to the mouth of the alley, and they said hello and returned. When it came to the long-distance stop, it was Wang Defa's family and Li Qiyang.

"Guisheng, dad and your mother are going to send my sister, and when you come back the day after tomorrow, you and Narcissus, and my sister will come to brother, take care of grandma, and when you cook, you help with Narcissus more, do you hear?" Wang De sent it to Guisheng to settle down.

Wang Guisheng nodded.

Letting three children take care of an elderly man, Li Qiyang is not at ease.

Wang Defa seemed to see Li Qiyang's worries, and said: "The noble ones are all married, and the younger brother and Yuting are also big girls, no problem, in three days, they can do it, don't worry." ”

"I thought, if it takes three days, I'll let my daughter-in-law come over and help you watch the house first."

"No, no, look at your students, they are all married, and you still treat them as children."

Wang Defa was right, and Li Qiyang didn't insist on his own ideas anymore.

It was very punctual, as usual, and the car came. Wang Defa beckoned from afar.

The car stopped, and the co-driver of the car came down to help Wang Defa put his luggage on the luggage rack on the roof of the car, and tied it very firmly.

"How many people?"

"Three, two adults, one child!" Wang Defa replied.

The co-pilot looked at Wang Chenglong and said, "It's all adults, it's all adults' fares." ”

"Yes, yes."

"Let's get in the car."

Wang Laidi had already gone to school, leaving Li Qiyang, Guisheng, Narcissus, and Yuting standing under the car to send three people.

At the moment when Wang Chenglong was about to get into the car, Guisheng suddenly rushed forward, hugged his sister and cried.

"Don't cry, don't cry, my sister will come back after the holiday, you have to be good with Narcissus, and the sheep will be put away, obedient!" Wang Chenglong was already crying, and after saying the simple words, he pushed Guisheng to his uncle and hurriedly got into the car.

The engine of the shuttle bus roared and walked slowly. Through the car window, this town that Wang Chenglong is so familiar with it that he can't be more familiar with it swiped past him like a movie, faster and faster, faster and faster.

Wang Defa wanted to wave out of the window and motioned for Li Qiyang to take the children back early.

Outside the car, Gui Sheng didn't know what was wrong, and ran frantically after the car, which made Wang Chenglong's already heavy mood even more sad.

This is a parting, not an eternal farewell. In the eyes of a silly brother, it is like a parting of life and death, and the simple and simple family affection is the real reason why Wang Chenglong is worth shedding tears.

Ma Xiu'e and Wang Defa sat side by side in their seats.

Wang Chenglong got in the car and found a window seat for herself, this was the first time she left the town she was familiar with, eighteen years, she went to the county as far as high school. Today, she is going to walk out of the place where she was born and raised, and start a beautiful but unknown journey.

Wang Defa still just feels that insisting on letting Jackie Chan and his younger brother study is just comforting the deceased Li Yueping. Today is to send Jackie Chan, maybe next year is to send his brother, one by one to send out, and the wish has been fulfilled.

"When we get to school, we just carry things and don't talk much." Wang Defa whispered to Ma Xiu'e.

"Why? Don't outsiders talk in the city? ”

"No, that's not it, mainly because, you think, today's school report, is there more children in the city who can be admitted to school? How many college students can you take the exam in a poor and remote place? What if Jackie Chan's classmates see it and laugh at her, right? Wang Defa said with a glance.

"That's not right, what's wrong? Isn't it her father when she sees you? I'm not her aunt anymore, right? Ma Xiu'e couldn't understand what Wang Defa thought, so she refuted.

The shuttle bus was speeding on the road, although she got up at five o'clock in the morning, along the way, Wang Chenglong did not feel the slightest sleepiness, along the way, she saw the desolate and barren yellow earth, the people who lived hard, and imagined how their ancestors had survived for generations.

Mountain, large; ditch, deep. These four words are the best interpretation of the loess high slope, who wants to be bound in such an environment, it's just that the ancestors have lived there for generations, and the roots are there.

Wang Chenglong was very glad that he was able to walk out of this land that made her both nostalgic and want to leave.
