Then, the last winter vacation that belongs to this group of high school students arrived.

On the afternoon of January 24th, the school was bustling and cleaning up before the holiday-

Wang Qinyang: "Brother Bao, do you still go to play on vacation?" ”

Brother Bao: "Go, this must go!" ”……

School Committee: "Class leader~ I'll go shopping in the pedestrian street later." ”

Squad leader: "Well, I'll go after I put my school bag." ”……

/

"Brother Ling, what are your arrangements for winter vacation?" Rong Zhe asked Ling Yan, who was standing on the desk in the classroom cleaning the fluorescent lampshade while dragging the corridor with a mop.

"Just stay at home and review." Ling Yan really didn't have any idea about his winter vacation arrangements, anyway, he would do whatever Chu Ran arranged for him to do.

"Review? That senior sister is called 'Chu Ran'. She gives you a review? ”

Ling Yan didn't reply, obviously not very satisfied with what Rong Zhe said, 'just call Chu Ran'.

Rong Zhe waited for a while but didn't hear Ling Yan's reply. He dropped the mop and rubbed it next to Ling Yan, "Eh, Brother Ling? ”

He was just about to say something, but suddenly he saw the head teacher through the open back door.

So he could only run back and pick up the mop that had fallen to the ground and continue to clean.

……

Until the end of the cleaning -

"Brother Ling!" Rong Zhe dragged Ling Yan, who was about to carry his schoolbag and leave.

Then Ling Yan stopped walking forward and stood next to the desk waiting for him.

Rong Zhe hurriedly packed his schoolbag. After stuffing the last book into my bag, I picked up the shoulder strap of my bag, put it on my shoulder, and said, "Let me review it with you." ”

"Find a library, or just come to your house. The main thing is to see the power of the god. ”

Ling Yan: "Today? ”

Obviously, Ling Yan was taken aback by what Rong Zhe said.

"Just the winter vacation, let me also improve my grades quickly, and see if I can make my mother happier." Rong Zhe said this earnestly, and in Chu Ran's words, it was like 'suddenly growing up'.

Ling Yan's answer was naturally "agreed".

……

……

Rong Zhe came to the Ling family. From the 25th to the 30th, he stayed here.

Until the 31st, Chu Ran returned to the house where Zhang Xiao and Chu Ran's father lived.

Rong Zhe 'temporarily' stopped running to Ling Yan's house early in the morning. During that period, Rong Zhe's mother also made a video call to confirm whether she was really studying.

If you want to talk about progress, you can't judge it without an exam at the moment. But Rong Zhe shouted every time before going home: "I am definitely making rapid progress!" Chu Xueshen is powerful! ”

It was so amusing that Chu Ran couldn't suppress the rising corners of his mouth. Occasionally, when Yang Jingshu is also at home, she will laugh together.

……

Learning is always onerous and fulfilling. During those few days of studying at home, Ling Yan felt that it passed quickly.

But after Chu Ran left on the morning of the 31st, Ling Yan felt that the time was long, and he had no interest in studying. It seems that Chu Ran is his motivation to learn.

……

After Ling Yan forced himself to sit at his desk for another half an hour, he finally gave up the idea of continuing to study.

He stepped out of the study door and sat idly on the couch.

Dig through the drawer of the coffee table in the living room and find the remote control and tune to 'Channel 5'.

At this time, 'CCTV-5' is rebroadcasting the 2021/2022 European Basketball League. Ling Yan opened his mouth and asked Yang Jingshu, who was cleaning and tidying up in the master bedroom, "Mom~, how long will it take for Chu Ran to come back?" ”

After a few seconds, a reply came: "You have to start school for a while, their family is going out to play, it's rare that Chu Ran's father is back......"

"Oh-" Ling Yan, who got the answer, suddenly felt that the basketball game on TV was not good. I pressed the remote control randomly, and I called up a children's channel casually, and watched it for a while.

……

……

The Chu family——

For Chu Ran's father, the Chinese New Year is a rare time to rest.

Father Chu deliberately set aside a month to go to Sanya for a month from the Chinese New Year's Eve.

And Zhang Xiao is also very satisfied with the decision of her father, the two got married early when they were young, and their previous economic conditions were not very good, so they have never gone out to play anywhere, and this time they are addicted to reminiscing about travel.

After Chu Ran's family packed their luggage, they soon embarked on a flight to Sanya. This is a rare time when I haven't returned to my hometown for the New Year.

……

The Ling Yan family was different, Ling Yan and Zhang Xiao still returned to the original Ling father's parents' house on Chinese New Year's Eve.

……

……

Ling's father's parents were called 'Grandpa' and 'Grandma' by Ling Yan according to the local dialect, and they were over 60 years old, but fortunately, they were in good health.

The two old men usually live in the countryside, and although they are still doing some farm work such as farming, their living conditions have become much better. With water heaters, natural gas...... Even if they don't live in a residential building, the elderly don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, it was a deep darkness—

Yang Jingshu drove into the Ling family's compound, and the headlights cut through the silence, making the entire compound light up.

"Grandpa, Grandma!" After Ling Yan got out of the car, he shouted towards the hall.

Then, two old men with smiling faces immediately walked out of the hall.

……

Yang Jingshu and Ling Yan only stayed there for two days, because they had to go to the other side - Yang Jingshu's parents' house to pay New Year's greetings.

On the second day of the first lunar month, in the evening.

Yang Jingshu had already put all the things she wanted to take away in the car, but the old man still asked vigorously, "Do you want cauliflower and sweet potatoes?" "Jingshu, wait a little longer, Abba will chop sugar cane for you......"

Maybe Ling Yan didn't feel it before, but this time Ling Yan really felt 'reluctant'.

Since Ling's father left in the third year of junior high school, he was reluctant to go back to his hometown, because he hated to hear the old man talk about his father, and it was this hometown that he often went back to when he was a child.

Now he finally likes the place where he grew up again......

Grandma called Ling Yan to a room, and Ling Yan naturally wanted to give herself a red envelope for the New Year.

That's right, Grandma took out two red envelopes from her pocket: "This is given to you by Grandma and Grandpa, take it." ”

Then she continued: "Grandson, grandma's house has also installed that net, and the TV has also been renewed, remember to come back and play when you have time." ”

- Ling Yan seemed to be choked, his nose began to sour slightly, he blinked his eyes and nodded his head.

Before getting into the car, Ling Yan ran to find Ah Gong, who was digging sugar cane in the field not far away, and hugged Ah Gong firmly, regardless of whether Ah Gong's clothes were stained with mud.

Ah Gong didn't hug Ling Yan, maybe because he didn't react too suddenly, or maybe because he had mud on his hands and was afraid of soiling his grandson's clothes......

After getting into the car, Ling Yan shouted goodbye in the direction of Grandpa and Grandma. It wasn't until I turned a corner and couldn't see the compound that I stopped.

On the way back, Ling Yan'an was quiet and didn't look at his phone. Just sit quietly, looking out the window at the lights.

Yang Jingshu naturally noticed Ling Yan's abnormality and his behavior towards Ah Gong before he got into the car. Yang Jingshu didn't say anything, but she was different from Ling Yan's suddenness on the way back, but kept smiling at the corners of her mouth.

For parents, the change of children's change for the better is always gratifying.
