"Youzhi, I called home yesterday and heard from my mother that your store in the county town is about to open?" Li Mei said with a smile.

Xia Youzhi nodded, "Yes, this Saturday." ”

"Huh? Then why don't you tell us? Zhao Hongsi was very surprised, "We can go and celebrate." ”

"It's almost the final exam, so I didn't tell you, and when the winter vacation comes, you can go and have a look." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.

In fact, the store in the county, from planning to opening, she went back once.

The specific situation was told to her by Xia Mu on the phone.

But she believed her mother, and Gu Ting had entrusted Chen Deqiang to help take care of it, so there should be no problem.

"Saturday, that's the day after tomorrow. We can have one last vacation in our senior year! Shall we go to your house to celebrate? ”

Zhao Hongsi's eyes lit up in an instant.

When Xia Youzhi heard this, he shook his head.

"Don't go, you'll be tired in just one day." She said.

Preparing for the final exams, the school gave Saturday a day off just to let the students relax.

So there's no need to toss around.

"Don't toss." Zhao Hongsi happily looked at Xu Xingyang and Li Mei on the side, "Are you two going?" ”

"Go." Xu Xingyang nodded.

"Well, I'll go too." Li Mei hurriedly raised her hand.

Seeing this, Xia Youzhi was a little helpless.

"Look, we're all happy to go." Zhao Hongsi said with a smile.

Xia Youzhi said helplessly, \"Okay, then let's take the earliest bus on Saturday morning." \"

As he spoke, his eyelashes flashed, "Six o'clock." ”

It's winter, and it's not even dawn yet.

Really......

"So early?" Zhao Hongsi wailed.

"Hmm." Xia Youzhi nodded calmly, "So do you still want to go?" ”

Seeing the smile on Xia Youzhi's face, Zhao Hongsi gritted his teeth, "Go!" Climb to climb! ”

The painful appearance of gritting his teeth made Xia Youyi amused.

Saturday.

Several people traveled to Anming County.

"Gross!"

As soon as Zhao Hongsi got out of the car, he couldn't help retching.

Xia Youzhi handed her the warm water in his hand, and Li Mei also hurriedly smoothed her back.

"Zhao Hongsi, you are really too weak."

Xu Xingyang pointed at her and smiled.

Xia Youzhi turned his head and glanced at him, Xu Xingyang instantly wilted.

Well, if you don't laugh, don't laugh.

"Grab your stuff and go."

Xia Youzhi saw that Zhao Hongsi had eased up, so he said to Xu Xingyang.

Xu Xingyang looked at a large bag of things on the ground and muttered.

This is what he and Zhao Hongsi went to buy after school yesterday.

There are all kinds of sweets and sweets.

It's pretty heavy.

But Xu Xingyang could only look at the sky resignedly.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the morning sun had climbed into the air.

On the street, there are many people walking around.

Several people walked for a while, Xu Xingyang gritted his teeth, and his forehead was sweating.

"Is it there? Young. "He was out of breath from exhaustion.

He was a little suspicious that Xia Youzhi was taking revenge for laughing at Zhao Hongsi just now!

"Tired?"

Xia Youzhi glanced at him.

"Not tired." Xu Xingyang gritted his teeth.

How can you say you're tired at this time?

"If you're tired, just say it, Xu Xingyang." Zhao Hongsi smiled proudly.

At this time, her face was still a little pale, but fortunately, there was nothing wrong.

Xia Youzhi just wanted to open his mouth and ask everyone to help get some, but suddenly a familiar voice came.

"Young?" Zhang Qingqing looked at a few people not far away and shouted in surprise.

"Young? Where? ”

Father Xia sat on the truck and looked at Zhang Qingqing's voice.

"Dad! Green! ”

Xia Youzhi also saw them at this time.

Father Xia glared at the tricycle excitedly and headed towards Xia Youzhi.

There were also three large barrels in the car, which I thought were there to make deliveries.

"Why are you back? Why don't you tell your family in advance, there is nothing prepared at home, and there are classmates in the back, right? Father Xia said a lot in one breath.

After speaking, he smiled at Zhao Hongsi next to Xia Youzhi.

Xia Youzhi looked at Xia Guomin and felt a little funny.

Her father is not a person who talks much, but now he can say so much in one breath, it can be seen that he misses her!

However, it is true that she hasn't been home in a long time!

"Dad, you're fat." Xia Youzhi smiled and replied.

When I first met her father, he was thin and dark, and now he has gained a lot of weight and is white.

"Hey, you kid!" Father Xia patted Xia Youzhi with a smile, and then turned to Zhao Hongsi and them, "Hurry up and go home, it's still quite cold." ”

Seeing this, several people hurriedly greeted each other.

"Hello uncle!"

"Uncle." Li Mei smiled and greeted Father Xia in her hometown dialect.

"Xiao Li is also here." Xia's father responded earnestly.

Xia Guomin has seen Li Mei.

Last time, we went to Haizhou City Park together.

Moreover, Li Mei and her father Li Bolin also helped the Xia family a lot before.

Therefore, Xia Guomin naturally has an extra sense of intimacy with Li Mei.

"Dad, we came back today mainly to see the new store open." As he spoke, Xia Youzhi pointed at Zhao Hongsi and Xu Xingyang again, "They are my classmates." ”

"Good, good." Xia Guomin happily responded, "You take your classmates home first, the store is open today, but your mother should still be there at this time."

Let her arrange everything for your classmates, and your cousin and I will go back after delivering the goods. ”

In the past, the family was poor, and the eldest son did not dare to ask his classmates to come to the house, for fear that he would not be able to entertain and increase the burden on the family.

Whereas...... The previous "daughter" did not have any classmates to come to the house.

So this time, seeing Xia Youzhi take his classmates home, Xia Guomin was very happy.

As he spoke, he glanced at the big bag of things at Xu Xingyang's feet, "Dad will help you call a tricycle, don't be tired of your classmates." ”

"Dad, no need. Just turn the corner. Xia Youzhi hurriedly stopped.

It's all here, what else is it for.

"It's uncle, it's a matter of turning a corner, we're not so squeamish." Zhao Hongsi laughed loudly.

Xu Xingyang was speechless in an instant.

He smiled forcefully, "Yes, uncle, I'm not tired. ”

Seeing this, Father Xia was no longer reluctant.

"Then let's go home." Father Xia smiled.

Xia Youzhi nodded and glanced at the silent Zhang Qingqing.

immediately said goodbye to Father Xia, and led a few people to speed up their pace and walk home.

Qingqing's matter, let's deal with it later.

"Mom!"

Xia Youzhi walked to the door and knocked on the door.

She could faintly hear the noise in the courtyard.

"Youzhi, didn't you say that your house opened today? Where is the store? Zhao Hongsi looked left and right.

This place looks quite large, with a large open space and colorful lights.

But the location is like the edge of the county.

Set up shop here?

When Xia Youzhi heard this, he shook his head with a smile, "No, my store is next to the county movie theater." ”

It was what later came to be known as the "city center".

Here this is specialized in work, doing wholesale.

Zhao Hongsi nodded.

Her family is a food cooker, and she knows a little bit about it.

As he spoke, the door opened from the inside.

Several familiar and unfamiliar faces appeared in front of Xia Youzhi.

She recognized it as Oxhorn, but couldn't name it.

I think it was her mother who recruited help.

"Are you...... Young, right? A chubby aunt reacted and said with a smile.

Xia Youzhi nodded.

"Hurry in, we were just about to go to the store to help, and you just happened to be back."

The chubby aunt smiled and opened the door wider, letting Xia Youzhi and the others in.

"Thank you, auntie, where's my mom?" Xia Youzhi asked as he walked in.

"Cuilian just went to the store on the front foot, if you come back early, you can see it." The fat aunt smiled, "But your second aunt is here." ”

As she spoke, she shouted into the house, "Chunlan, who do you see coming back?" ”

Hu Chunlan, who was busy washing the pig's large intestine, heard this and hurriedly walked out of the house.

She was pleasantly surprised to see the young people.

"You're back? Why didn't your mother say that? She said with a smile.

"Second aunt, my mother doesn't know." The way of summer young.

"Oh, they're all classmates, hurry up and get into the house." Hu Chunlan looked behind Xia Youzhi and said with a smile.

"Hello Auntie."

“……”

"Good, good." Hu Chunlan smiled very happily.

"Chunlan, let's go to the store first." The chubby aunt smiled.

"Okay, Shunzi Mom, it's hard work." Hu Chuanlan said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he pulled Xia Youzhi and a few people into the house.

The house is well heated, and now all work has to be moved to the house.

But fortunately, this place used to be a small factory, there are a lot of rooms, and the place is enough.

Xia Youzhi glanced at the two bare old trees in the yard and the dead grass on the ground, and secretly felt lucky.

"Youzhi, what is the scale of your family? I feel like you used to be a young lady from the landlord's family! Zhao Hongsi looked at all this and exclaimed.

"What do you say?" Xia Youzhi couldn't laugh or cry.

While speaking, Hu Chunlan had already taken out a lot of biscuits and melon seeds from the room on the side.

"Youzhi, you let your classmates eat, and the second aunt will cook something for you."

Hu Chunlan smiled and put the large plate containing food in front of everyone.

"No need, second aunt, we have breakfast, don't get it." Xia Youzhi stopped.

When they were at the station, one of them ate a large bread, and they are still not hungry.

"Yes, second aunt, we are not hungry." Zhao Hongsi smiled, "This is what we brought here, thinking that you will open today to celebrate." ”

As she spoke, she opened the large bag at her feet.

It was full of food that Hu Chunlan had never seen.

"You children, you come here, why do you still break the bank!"

The second aunt was very happy, but she was also afraid that the child would spend money.

When Xia Youzhi heard this, he glanced at Zhao Hongsi.

Although Zhao Hongsi's personality is a little squeamish, her mouth is sweet and pleasing, and the elders like such children the most.

"Don't break the bank, we are also preparing in a hurry, the main reason is that Youzhi said it too late, and there is no time to prepare, I hope the second aunt will not dislike it."

Zhao Hongsi's words were very beautiful, and Hu Chunlan's eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Second aunt, this is a little bit of their heart, go back and share it with everyone to taste." Xia Youzhi, "I'll go to the store in a while." ”

"Okay, go ahead, your mom is there." Hu Chuanlan said with a smile, "If you come back yesterday, there were several tables at home last night, but there are a lot of good dishes, and Qingbo's head teacher is also here." ”

Xia Youzhi was happy in his heart, \"Teacher Yan is here?" \"

"No, the principal also called, but the principal is busy, and now he is in his third year of high school, so he doesn't have to come."

Hu Chunlan's words were full of laughter and pride.

In their country, the teacher is a cultural person.

It would be an honor to be able to invite a teacher to your home.

Xia Youzhi chatted with Hu Chunlan for a few more words, and then led Zhao Hongsi and a few people out.
