"Sister!"

Song Yunhui carried a satchel and a duffel bag, and at a glance saw his sister Song Yunping, who was sitting on Wang Chong's shoulder with a smile on her face and waving at him excitedly.

"I'm here!" Song Yunhui was afraid that his sister would not see him, so he hurriedly jumped up from the crowd, and waved at his sister with great excitement, shouting loudly.

"Xiaohui!"

"Xiaohui!"

Although Song Yunhui is long and thin, he is not short, he is like a standing out in the crowd, coupled with a unique temperament and a familiar figure, he was also recognized by Song Yunping at a glance.

Although Song Yunhui couldn't wait to run to his sister, he talked about his lovesickness, but the passengers on the train were in a hurry to get off the train, and the people waiting outside the platform were also anxious to meet their relatives and friends.

Song Yunhui could only follow the flow of people and came to his sister with excitement.

"Sister!"

The smile on Song Yunhui's face was very bright.

"Xiaohui!" Song Yunping had already stepped down from Wang Chong's shoulder, stepped forward excitedly, and hugged Song Yunhui.

"Xiaohui!" Wang Chong next to him also greeted Song Yunhui with a smile.

"Brother-in-law!" Song Yunhui let go of his sister and looked at Wang Chong, but the smile on his face was not as good as just now, and he even hesitated for a moment before calling out this brother-in-law.

"After taking the train for so long, I must be tired and hungry!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"It's fine!" Song Yunhui said: "I brought dry food from school and ate some on the way. ”

"Dry food is also a cushion for the stomach, how long can it last, go, brother-in-law will take you to eat something delicious!"

"No need brother-in-law, let's go home and eat again!" Song Yunhui is used to being frugal on weekdays, so he is willing to spend money to eat out.

"It's okay, your brother-in-law is rich!" Song Yunping glanced at Wang Chong, took Song Yunhui's hand and said softly with a smile: "Don't think about saving him money!" ”

"I'm not hungry." Song Yunhui said.

Wang Chongdao: "Your sister is right, don't think about saving me money." ”

Before Song Yunhui could say anything, Wang Chong preemptively said: "You don't have to think about anything today, just listen to your brother-in-law's arrangement." ”

Without waiting for Song Yunhui to say anything, Wang Zhong had already taken his duffel bag, put it in his hand, and took Song Yunhui away with Song Yunping.

Nowadays, there are no private restaurants in the county, only state-run restaurants, although they are state-run hotels, but the chef's skills are really good, after all, in these years, the chef also has to be graded, the higher the grade, the higher the salary.

Wang Chong and Song Yunping pulled Song Yunhui into the restaurant, ordered three dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, asked for a big pot of rice, and spent Wang Zhong a lot of money to follow the ticket, and Song Yunhui was distressed.

But the food was served, and Song Yunhui was no longer happy, so he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

"Come, Xiaohui eat more meat!" Song Yunping couldn't stop putting meat in Song Yunhui's bowl.

"Sister! I still have it in my bowl! Feeling his sister's concern, Song Yunhui only felt warm in his heart, but out of consideration for Song Yunping's identity, he subconsciously glanced at Wang.

Wang Zhong smiled and asked, "Why, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you just met me like this?" ”

Song Yunhui hurriedly explained: "No, no! I just need some time to get used to. ”

I'm afraid that the explanation will be slow and Wang Chong will misunderstand.

"Alright, don't tease Xiaohui!" Song Yunping glanced at Wang Chong angrily, then turned his head to look at Song Yunhui and said, "Xiaohui, don't pay attention to him, hurry up and eat yours." ”

As he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of meat into Song Yunhui's bowl, for fear that Song Yunhui wouldn't be able to let it go.

"You're all thin!" Song Yunping looked at her younger brother, who had lost a little weight compared to a few years ago, and her eyes were full of pampering and concern.

Song Yunhui said: "Sister, where did I lose weight, I ate well and slept well at school, and I was obviously fat." ”

"Eat more if you're fat." Song Yunping said.

Song Yunhui listened to his sister's words of concern, only felt warm in his heart, and no longer argued with Song Yunping, but buried his head in eating, and the already fragrant pork became more and more delicious.

The three dishes and one soup were eaten by the three of them cleanly, and there was nothing left, and Song Yunhui almost didn't lick the plate.

Not to mention meat these years, it's very good to be able to eat a full meal, but fortunately, Song Yunhui was admitted to university, and he can receive an allowance from the state every month, and he can solve the problem of food and clothing, so he doesn't have to worry about being hungry, and occasionally he can eat some meat.

But Rao is like this, Song Yunhui is usually very thrifty, and he can save as much as he can, if it weren't for the money he sent home every time he was sent back, and his parents sent him this and that, Song Yunhui would have to be even more economical.

This was probably the case with the children of poor families in the early days.

After eating, Wang Zhong carried Song Yunhui's duffel bag, Song Yunping carried Song Yunhui's satchel, and the three of them set foot on the way home.

Along the way, Song Yunhui was telling Song Yunping and Wang Zhong about the new things in the school, the good news he saw in the People's Daily, the news he heard from his classmates about the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, the conjectures of several classmates in the dormitory about reform and opening up, and their bright prospects for the future.

The more Song Yunhui spoke, the more his emotions rose, the more sonorous his tone became, his eyes were full of longing and yearning for a better future, and his ambitions were also inadvertently revealed between the lines.

Listening to her brother's bold words and feeling the pride and ambition in her brother's words, Song Yunping was both happy and relieved.

Compared with before, the current Song Yunhui is both confident and cheerful, such a big change, so that Song Yunping, who is a sister, doesn't feel relieved to see it.

The three of them traveled all the way and finally returned home.

Song Jishan and his wife were already looking forward to it at the entrance of the village, and when they saw the three sisters and brothers coming back from a distance, they couldn't wait for the three of them to arrive, so they couldn't wait to get up and go forward.

"Dad! Mother! ”

"Xiaohui!"

Mother Song couldn't wait to step forward and grab her son's hand, her face was full of smiles, and there were already some tears in her eyes.

However, as a father, Song Jishan, although he and his son have released their previous suspicions, they are still a little restrained when they reunite after a long absence.

Father's love itself is implicit, and Song Jishan's temperament is already dull, he is not good at expressing words, and his heart has become sensitive and fragile due to years of unfair treatment, and he is becoming more and more closed.

"How are you doing at school?"

"How's it going?"

"Look you've lost weight!"

“······”

Mother Song grabbed Song Yunhui's hand and looked at Song Yunhui carefully up and down, left and right, for fear that he would lose half a catty of meat.

Song Yunhui smiled and whispered a few words to his mother, then walked up to his father and shouted, "Dad! ”

"I'm back!"

A simple sentence can fall on Song Jishan's ears, but it is like heaven.

"It's good to be back! It's good to be back! Song Jishan raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder, and a light smile appeared on his face.

"Go home! Let's go home! Seeing that the father and son were reconciled as before, Song's mother also showed a relieved smile on her face, and took her son's hand and walked home.

Knowing that her son was back, Song's mother caught a duck early in the morning, and the bleeding and hair removal were all dealt with in advance, so she waited for Wang Chong to come back and cook a delicious meal for her son.

It's not that Song's mother can't do it, but Wang Chong's son-in-law's craftsmanship is obviously better, these years and months chickens and ducks are all precious things, I don't know how long it will take to eat once, if it is usual, Wang is busy with work, Song's mother and Song Yunping will do nothing, but today is going out to school, and her son who has not been home for more than a year comes back for the first time, and Song's mother naturally wants her son to eat the best things.

The duck has been cleaned, the internal organs have been taken out, the duck intestines have been processed cleanly, and the side dishes and condiments prepared by Wang Chong for Song Mu in advance have also been prepared.

The rice was steaming in the pot, Song Yunping sat on a small stool in front of the stove to relight the fire for Wang, and Song Yunhui talked to his parents in the front hall.

Song Yunhui's house had been cleaned up by Song's mother and Song Yunping a few days ago, and the bedding had been washed and dried in advance, without a little musty smell, and there was a desk made by Wang Chong himself in the room, a bookshelf, on which there were a lot of books that Wang Chong bought back from Xinhua Bookstore, professional books on chemical engineering, and many other types of miscellaneous books.

After dinner, the family sat around the fire and roasted the fire.

"By the way, Xiaohui, don't forget to go to Secretary Yang's place Ming'er, thanks to Secretary Yang's care all these years." was eating, Song's mother suddenly remembered this and hurriedly told her son.

Song Yunhui said: "Mom, don't worry, I have prepared the gifts for Secretary Yang, and I will go early tomorrow morning." ”

Early the next morning, Song Yunhui habitually got up early, just came out of the house, washed up and went out to practice for a while, and happened to meet Wang Chong who came down from the mountain.

"Brother-in-law!"

Song Yunhui took the initiative to greet Wang Chong: "You're still so early!" ”

Wang Chongdao: "The plan of the day lies in the morning, of course you have to get up early!" ”

"Are you going out for a morning exercise?"

Song Yunhui said: "You are right, the body is the capital of the revolution, and only with a strong body can I learn better." ”

"Are you still practicing that set of punches and kicks I taught you?" Wang Zhong asked.

Song Yunhui said: "Practice every day. ”

Wang Chong suddenly became interested: "Let's go, go to the old place, and see what progress you have made in the past few years." ”

"Okay!" Since he followed Wang Zhong to practice this set of body-strengthening fists and kicks, Song Yunhui obviously felt that his physical endurance and strength had increased, especially in the past few years, he had not even had a headache and brain fever.

The two came to the platform at the top of the low hill in the back mountain, and after stretching their muscles and bones a little, Song Yunhui played Wang Chongjiao's fist and foot routine.

It is said that it is a fist and foot routine, but it is better to say that it is a set of action routines for health and fitness, which is similar to Baduanjin, which is a routine that Wang Chong combined with hundreds of exercises in the world of "Children of the Qiao Family", plus his own opinions, and spent several years deducing.

The main thing is to exercise the body and nourish the qi, stretch the muscles and bones, and exercise all parts of the body.

After a set of fists and kicks, it really has a bit of a meaning.

"It seems that you have worked hard in the past few years!" Wang Zhong also did not hesitate to praise himself.

Song Yunhui said: "It's my brother-in-law's powerful boxing technique." ”

Song Yunhui is talented, very smart, especially focused on doing things, and likes to use his brain, not just following the cat and drawing the tiger, he learns naturally quickly.

The two chatted for a few words, fought a few sets of punches and kicks together, and seeing that Song Yunhui's body had almost been raised, Wang Chong easily taught Song Yunhui a few tips for grabbing countermeasures.

Song Yunhui has a good brain, but he almost learns it in a moment.

With more and more exchanges, Song Yunhui gradually got used to the identity of Wang Chong's brother-in-law, and gradually found the relaxed feeling when the two got along before.

When going down the mountain, Song Yunhui couldn't help but ask, "Brother-in-law, isn't my sister really going to college?" ”

Wang Chongdao: "The university is just a platform, a platform that allows you to get in touch with more knowledge, so that you have a higher starting point, the society is a bigger and better university, as long as we are in awe and never forget the original intention of learning, what does it matter if we don't go to university!" ”

"Being able to go to college is the only chance for a family like ours to change their lives." Song Yunhui couldn't help but say.

Wang Zhong said: "Going to college is just a shortcut, just a relatively fairer way." ”

"Let me ask you, what did you change your destiny for when you went to college?"

Song Yunhui said: "Of course, it is to get ahead, in order to make my parents and my sister live a better life." ”

"What kind of life is a better life?" Wang Chong asked again: "Do you have meat to eat every meal?" New clothes to wear every day? ”

Song Yunhui didn't know how to answer Wang Chong's words for a while, his eyes flickered, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Anyway, it's not like this." ”

Wang Chong raised his hand and patted Song Yunhui's shoulder and said: "Xiaohui, now that the policies above have begun to change, the road of reform and opening up will only get wider and wider, the future will only get better and better, and the opportunities will only get bigger and bigger, as long as you can grasp the opportunity and keep up with the trend of the times, you can live a better life." ”

"You should know more about the news of reform and opening up in the university than we do!"

Song Yunhui nodded and said: "Last year, the country started a pilot project in Shencheng, and I heard from my classmates that compared with a few years ago, Shencheng has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it has been reported many times in the People's Daily. ”

Wang Chongdao: "The country wants to develop, the national strength must be strong, reform and opening up has become an inevitable trend, our country, the lion that has been sleeping for many years, has now begun to open its eyes, and the life of the people will only get better and better." ”

"Do you believe me!" Wang Zhong looked at Song Yunhui and asked.

Song Yunhui met Wang Chong's gaze and did not answer, but only looked at Wang Chong directly.

Wang Chong put up two fingers and said: "In less than two years, I will let Xiaoping and her parents eat meat every day, and have new clothes to wear all year round, so that those who looked down on you and bullied you in the past have to give a thumbs up when they mention the old Song family." ”

Song Yunhui still looked at Wang Chong: "Two years? ”

Wang Zhong said firmly: "Two years! ”

"A gentleman's word?" Song Yunhui stretched out his palm.

Wang Chong raised his hand and high-fived Song Yunhui and said, "It's hard to chase the horse!" ”

"I'm waiting for your good news." Song Yunhui said.

If it were someone else, Song Yunhui would only treat him as bragging, and ignore it with a smile, but Wang Chong is the only person Song Yunhui can't see through and admire since he was a child.
