The patio is a common water intake well between Maoba and several nearby village groups.

Because of its excellent water quality and the fact that the flow has never stopped, until 2021, when almost every household has access to tap water, it is still the source of drinking water for many households.

In other words, tap water is only used daily for things like bathing, washing clothes, etc.

The water from the patio is used for cooking, cooking, and tea in the kitchen.

Therefore, even in 2021, most of the water collected by each household was picked, or bottled buckets were hauled by small tricycles.

No one dares to occupy the public well.

Early in the morning of the second day of October, Fang Nian was on his way to the patio to fetch water.

There are three or four neighbors who have the same plan, and the dam is so big, you can't see it when you look up, and you can see it when you look down.

"Hey, why did the third sister-in-law let you come out to fetch water. ”

Fang Nian smiled and said, "Sixth aunt, I have more strength than my mother. ”

"I heard that you are very good at earning money now, why do you still do this kind of manual work. ”

“......”

Fang Nian smiled and agreed.

Xin said: "Ms. Lin Feng should be asked to carry water." ”

Because, this is the scenery that Lin Feng wants.

I didn't expect it to start early in the morning......

...... Most of the houses in this large area of Maoba are located on the front floor, that is, the road.

It's not a road, it's basically just a car, and it's a yard without a courtyard wall.

In the past, when eating, only Fang Nian and Fang Xin liked to carry a bowl to the porch or floor outside the house to eat.

Today, Lin Feng also brought out a bowl for the first time.

During a meal, I met three groups of people passing by.

"Lin Feng, I heard that your son is still in school and will earn money?"

The first group of people is the one Lin Feng wants to see the most, the middle-aged woman who is the eldest in the village and has passed the second exam.

Lin Feng nodded reservedly and didn't make a sound.

The woman said: "I said, you have to study hard, you are in the third year of high school, hurry up, now making money is not making money, by the way, how are your son's grades now, does he have any hope of going to college?"

Lin Feng's face became more and more reserved and a little quiet: "Not very good, this time I took the second grade." ”

Upon hearing this, the woman pouted disdainfully.

"The second grade of the eighth middle school is really not good, my second Habao is in the first hundred of the first middle school is a heavy seedling, this time the county unified mock exam is more than 500, and it is twenty or thirty points away from this year's heavy line, what about your son?"

"It's not much, 535, one point more than the weight, it's really not good. Lin Feng casually snorted.

Hearing this, the woman opened her mouth, and then said with a smile.

"Lin Feng, you really gave birth to a good son, a natural key university seedling!"

“......”

Originally, Lin Feng ate quickly, but this breakfast lasted for half an hour.

Compliments come and go.

"Lin Fengna, my family's little girl is also in the eighth middle school, I heard that your family handed in the math paper in more than 30 minutes for the annual exam, and got a full score!"

"Lin Fengna, tell me more about your son, let him work hard, and take the Peking University exam or something!"

“......”

Every now and then, Lin Feng first said a few words in agreement, and then laughed out loud unabashedly.

Even Fang Xin couldn't help but say something.

But the scenery is gone!

When he finally returned to the house and put down the dishes and chopsticks, Lin Feng immediately asked Fang Nian: "Are you really so good at mathematics?"

"Pretty much. ”

"What do you mean. ”

"It means I could have not gone to the third year of high school. ”

"Huh?"

"The first prize of the Provincial Olympiad was sent to the university, but the registration was in June, and the opportunity was missed. ”

"Huh?!"

"I understand mathematics more thoroughly, and my math teacher asked me to do the competition paper, and I got a full score. ”

Lin Feng sorted out his thoughts, and then waved his hand, saying very indifferently.

"It's okay, there is still the college entrance examination, and the escort is not necessarily a good school. ”

Fang Nian hesitated slightly, but decided to tell Lin Feng the truth: "I am qualified to escort Peking University to Tsinghua University." ”

"What!"

Lin Feng almost jumped up.

Knowing that Fang Nian earned more than 100,000 yuan, she was not so excited.

"Then why don't you sign up early!"

"What a beautiful escort!"

"Ah......h

Fang Nian said unhurriedly: "It's just that qualified, it's generally difficult for the first prize in the provincial competition to be escorted to such a good university, after all, there are no good students in the city." ”

"Oh. Lin Feng calmed down.

Then I heard Fang Nian's relaxed voice: "But I did the last national competition question, and I also got a full score." ”

"If you have this kind of achievement, you will inevitably be selected into the national team, train to participate in the World Olympiad Mathematical Competition, and basically send 100% to Peking University Tsinghua University. ”

Lin Feng: "!!"

The mood that had just calmed down was instantly irritable.

"Fang!year!"

"You're going to me off!"

After calming down, Lin Feng said expressionlessly: "Don't you see me showing off so much?"

"So you're deliberately mad at me?"

Fang Nian said with a serious face: "Absolutely no such meaning, you just said it when you asked me, just because I was afraid of affecting your mood." ”

Lin Feng: "......"

............

............

After nesting at home for two days, seeing that Lin Feng's initial scenery was half fresh, Fang Nian proposed.

"Going to grandma's house today?"

Lin Feng felt reliable and nodded in agreement.

"You've been making up classes for more than three months. ”

Then Fang Nian said his thoughts: "I didn't notice it during the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

"I want to make up a holiday red envelope for my grandmother. ”

Lin Feng sighed: "I've really grown up, I think so thoughtfully!"

"Okay, I'll wrap it. ”

"No, I'm ready. As he spoke, Fang Nian took out a red envelope and gave it a look to Lin Feng.

So, on the morning of the 4th, the family packed up and walked to my grandmother's house in a neighboring county.

Although it is in a neighboring county, in terms of the distance between the two families, it is not as far as Maoba to Huajia Market.

All the way is a trail that passes through the mountains.

It was about five or six miles of winding and turning.

About half an hour on foot for an adult.

Grassy dirt paths meander through the fields, and old brick and adobe buildings come into view.

In front of the mud porch of one of the blue brick flattens, an old man sits on a bamboo chair with a large fan.

Her short white and black hair reached her shoulders and was tied back with a homemade bamboo headband.

From a distance, the expression on his face was not very clear, and Fang Xin had already run over with a long voice.

"Grandma~"

Fang Nian's grandmother looked very happy when she heard the voice.

"Huh. ”

"Nian Bao and Fang Xin, you are all here. ”

Fang Nian shouted 'Grandma', seeing that her mental state was very good, her body was still very flexible and tough, and the old age spots on her face were not obvious, and her mood became happy.

When Fang Nian was a child, before Fang Xin was born, Fang Zhengguo and Lin Feng went south to Guancheng and east to Shencheng to work.

It was also at that time that Fang Nian stayed at his grandmother's house for two years one after another.

Since Xiaofangnian's grandmother is very good to Fang Nian, she will keep anything delicious for him, and this habit will continue until 2021.

It's just that at that time, I was much older, my back was hunched, and my health was not good.

"Nian Bao, you haven't been here for almost three months, how are you studying now, you have to be more ruthless in the third year of high school. ”

"There's sugar in the bedroom inside. ”

Without saying a word, Fang Nian's grandmother was worried about it again and went to the back room to get candy.

Fang Nian also followed into the house, each room inside has a large space, there is no living room, the door is the kitchen, and the middle position is the coal-burning stove.

On the inside of the top diagonally diagonally of the entrance door is a cupboard.

Other than that, the other three rooms are all bedrooms.

Originally, my grandparents lived together in the old house, but my grandfather died of a bronchial disease the year before last, and my grandmother lived alone after that.

It wasn't until 2016 that he lived in his children's house for a period of time due to physical reasons.

When Fang Nian's grandmother came out of the back room, she had all kinds of hard candies in red plastic bags.

Fang Nian didn't like to eat this kind of sweet and greasy thing since he was a child.

I used to say no, no, every time, and I never thought that there was my grandmother's precipitated concern here.

This time, I hurriedly took two and tasted them, saying that they were delicious.

Seeing this, my grandmother had a lot of smiles on her face, and said, "Fang Xin, there are oranges and apples in the bedroom cabinets." ”

Fang Xin jumped and went.

Lin Feng had already gone to the cupboard to prepare the meal.

Fang Nian sat on the bamboo chair next to the stove and gossiped with his grandmother.

“......”

"Grandma, this year I wrote a book while going to school, and I earned some money, and I didn't come to school during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I gave you a red envelope for the festival. ”

Saying that, Fang Nian gave the red envelope to his grandmother.

The rest of the explanation was handed over to Lin Feng.

After all......

This kind of scenery in front of his mother, Lin Feng also likes it very much.

Then Fang Nian's grandmother accepted her grandson's filial piety with peace of mind.

Not much, only 2000 yuan.

In the future, if there is a festival in the future, red envelopes will be prepared every year.

However, Fang Nian's grandmother was still very surprised after touching it, and kept saying things like 'what to do for so much'.

Lin Feng whispered a few words before accepting it with peace of mind.

When he returned home in the afternoon, Fang Nian still remembered that when he left his grandmother's house, his grandmother stood at the door and watched the figure that had not moved for a long time.

Perhaps, he thought, this is also the significance of returning to life to adolescence.

You can not be greedy for wealth and wealth, you can enjoy your youth, and you can enjoy life as it is.

But you can also take advantage of some suitable opportunities to earn some money to supplement your family with your talent and ability.

This happens at the right time.

Make the time beautiful.
