Chapter 321: All the way east to Jiangcheng
The next day.
Jiang Xiaobai got up very early, and he planned to go for a morning run.
When he walked from the house to the courtyard, he heard movement in the stove house, and turned his head to see that the light was still on.
When I walked to the stove house, I saw that my mother was cooking, and there seemed to be cured hooves in the small pot, and the aroma was fragrant.
Apparently it has been stewed for a long time.
"Mom, did you stew meat so early?"
Wang Xiuju glanced back and said, "It's the second child, the fourth child is leaving in the morning, I'll stew a hoof, alas...... It will be another half a year before she can eat my cooking! ”
Jiang Xiaobai doesn't know what to say, that's how to be a parent.
Not to mention that Jiang Xiaoqing is going to the distant Jiangcheng, after half a year, Jiang Shan is close to Jianyang, and he only misses her for a few days.
Leaving from the stove house, Jiang Xiaobai went out for a morning jog.
Running along the zigzag road towards the main road, the rocks and trees on the other side of the river are faintly in the mist, and the river breeze blows in the early morning, which is indescribably pleasant.
After running back and forth for more than a dozen laps and about an hour, Jiang Xiaobai went home.
At this time, Jiang Xiaoqing also got up.
She came out of the house and happened to meet Jiang Xiaobai, who was sweating profusely.
"Brother, why did you go early in the morning, sweating!"
"I'm going for a morning run!" Jiang Xiaobai said comfortably.
Morning jog?
Jiang Xiaoqing remembered that when she was in high school, her morning exercise every morning was also running, and at that time, she felt that instead of running for more than ten minutes, it was better to sleep in the bed for a while.
She wondered why her eldest brother took the initiative to do such a painful thing as morning exercise?
"Big brother, why did you think of going for a morning run?"
Jiang Xiaoqing couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "If you want to be in good health, run in the morning, and then you go to school, get up half an hour earlier than others every day, and you also run." ”
"Huh?"
Jiang Xiaoqing's mouth opened wide, he just asked why the eldest brother wanted to run in the morning, how did he know that the eldest brother actually wanted to run every morning in the future.
"What? Don't want to? Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"Yes!" Jiang Xiaoqing said against his will: "Big brother said, I will insist on running for half an hour in the morning every day in the future." ”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Xiaoqing, you have to remember that good health is more important than good academic performance, and only when you have a healthy body can you enjoy the beauty of life in the future." ”
"Oooh!"
Jiang Xiaoqing agreed twice and went to the bathroom to wash.
Jiang Xiaobai also went back to the room to wash up, changed into clean clothes and came out.
At this time, Wang Xiuju also made breakfast.
There was a large table of dishes, many of which Jiang Xiaoqing usually likes to eat, which made her very happy, and she let go of her belly and ate it beautifully.
Perhaps, she also knew that after going to Jiangcheng this time, she would not be able to eat her mother's food for a long time.
After eating, in the thousands of instructions of Wang Xiuju and Jiang Haiyang, and in the reluctance of the two, Jiang Xiaobai drove Jiang Xiaoqing out of Jiangwan and headed towards Jiangcheng.
On the way, Jiang Xiaobai said to Jiang Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, do you know? Mom got up at 4 o'clock in the morning to stew your hoof! ”
Jiang Xiaoqing nodded, "I know!" ”
When she saw the pot of cured hooves during the meal, she knew it.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "After you go to school, you must often write letters to your parents, so that they don't worry." ”
"Well, I write back every month."
Jiang Xiaobai turned his head to look at his sister, and said, "I'm going to Jiangcheng, I'll buy you a camera, every time you send a letter, put a few photos of you in it, and your parents will be happier." ”
Jiang Xiaoqing was taken aback: "Brother, you want to buy me a camera?" But I won't use it. ”
Jiang Xiaobai smiled: "You can learn if you don't know how to use it, learn to take more photos, not only can you reassure your parents, but you can also record your beautiful life in college." ”
"Don't be afraid to spend money, your brother has money now."
Jiang Xiaoqing nodded happily, "Thank you, brother!" ”
In fact, Wang Xiuju had already given her 500 yuan last night, saying that it was to give her living expenses for this semester.
When she was in high school, her living expenses were less than five yuan a month.
And this time, my mother gave a full 500 yuan!
Although it is a semester, it is almost a hundred yuan per month.
She didn't know how much other classmates lived on in a month, but it certainly didn't cost a hundred.
"Although my mother gives me a lot, I can't use it indiscriminately!"
Jiang Xiaoqing secretly admonished himself in his heart.
There are more than 600 kilometers from Qingzhou to Jiangcheng, although it is a national highway, but the more than 300 kilometers of roads before leaving Huangzhou are all mountain roads, even a jeep can not drive much fast, and it is only more than 100 kilometers at noon.
When he arrived at a small town called Yesanhe, Jiang Xiaobai stopped and rested for a while.
Because next to the national highway, there are many restaurants in the town, which are specially used for drivers to eat and add water.
The brother and sister didn't go to the restaurant to eat, because Wang Xiuju boiled eggs and steamed buns, so the two finished eating the cold boiled water in the kettle and continued to set off.
"Big brother, the mountain here is so big, bigger than our hometown."
Along the way, Jiang Xiaoqing looked at the big mountain cliff outside the car window and said in shock.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "The Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai once wrote "Shu Road Difficult", although it is not Shu Road, but it is actually far more difficult than Shu Road, and when Huangzhou is out, it is the endless Central China Plain, which is another scene. ”
Jiang Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Xiaobai in surprise and said, "Big brother, how do you know everything, as if you have been there!" ”
Jiang Xiaobai was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "A lot of books are written, you still read less books, in the future, when you are in college, go to the library to read all kinds of books, don't only read those books related to your major in one day." ”
"Oooh!"
Jiang Xiaoqing answered twice, thinking back in his mind, he couldn't remember when he had seen his eldest brother read.
All the way along the winding mountain road to the east, until the sun sinks in the west, the sky is getting dusk, the mist rises between the mountains and forests, and the car travels more slowly.
When I arrived in Huangzhou, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't rush overnight, found an inn and opened two rooms, stayed for one night, and continued on the road early the next morning.
"It's really a plain, not a small hill!"
Jiang Xiaoqing saw the plain for the first time and shouted excitedly.
With yesterday's experience, Jiang Xiaobai didn't dare to say anything more, pretending to be as excited as Jiang Xiaoqing to see the plain for the first time, and discussing the difference between the plain and the mountain with her.
"The outside world is really different, it's too vast!"
Jiang Xiaoqing seemed to have infinite emotion in her heart, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she was full of expectations for her college life.
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Xiaoqing, you have to remember that the outside world is very exciting, and the outside world is also very helpless, although you have walked out of the mountains, you have to work hard to truly integrate into the outside world." ”
"Brother, I'll try!"
"When I get a foothold outside after graduation, I'll pick you and your parents out!"
Jiang Xiaobai was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect that Jiang Xiaoqing had not seen the outside world, and he already had the idea of taking root outside.
Remembering that Jiang Xiaoqing got married outside after graduating from university in the previous life, he asked tentatively: "Xiaoqing, don't you want to go back to Qingzhou in the future?" ”
Jiang Xiaoqing didn't pay attention to Jiang Xiaobai's expression at all, and still said excitedly: "Big brother, Qingzhou is too small and too poor, if I can, I want to break outside in the future." ”
