A few days after He Xiaoyun arrived home, good news came from the commune. The first batch of admission notices for those students who took the college entrance examination this summer arrived, and her younger brother He Xiaojun was among them.
He Xiaoyun just returned home two days ago, and asked He Xiaojun how he was doing in the exam, and he only said it was okay.
Because the grades were not out, she didn't dare to ask more, for fear of hurting the fragile heart of the young people.
I didn't expect that kid to receive an admission notice from the capital. Although it is not a top school, it is still very good.
There are two college students in the family, and they are all schools in the capital. He Xiaoyun and his family are well-known in the whole commune. Their parents, He Dazhi and Li Yuegui, have become the hottest figures in Qingshuihe. No matter where they go, there are people Learn from them and ask for advice on how to raise children.
The two of them lived to be forty or fifty years old, and they had never been in such a limelight before. They were a bit overwhelmed, and they hid at home and didn't dare to go out.
However, such a big happy event really should be celebrated. Just as He Xiaoyun and Wei Jianwei were at home, Li Yuegui asked He Xiaojun to run errands and spread the word, asking their family of three to go back for dinner the next day.
After getting up the next day and finishing packing, He Xiaoyun took her husband and children back to her natal home.
Coincidentally, just as she walked to the door, her elder sister He Xiaofen's family also arrived.
The small yard suddenly became crowded, and a few children got together, chattering and making a lot of noise.
He Xiaofen smiled all over her face, and patted He Xiaojun's arm: "Since when did you become so calm, you kid? You didn't leak a word about such a big matter before. How come you didn't hold back?"
"Sister, take it easy." He Xiaojun struggled to dodge under her iron sand palm.
But when He Xiaofen beat him up, he developed his skill in beating him since he was a child, so he didn't dodge no matter what, he simply led a few nephews, and rushed out the door, "I'll take Xiaohang and the others out to play! "
"Don't run far, we'll have dinner soon, and don't go to the river!" Li Yuegui explained loudly from behind.
"Boy, I haven't finished my question yet." He Xiaofen snorted.
She specially called her daughter and son-in-law back. Li Yuegui was going to make a good meal today. In addition to the bacon left over from the Chinese New Year, she also bought fish and tofu, and slaughtered a non-laying chicken at home.
She and her daughters were busy at home, while He Dazhi and his two sons-in-law went to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest behind.
While working, Li Yuegui inquired about the situation in the capital. Knowing that He Xiaojun's school was not far from He Xiaoyun, she was obviously relieved.
He Xiaofen pursed her lips, "Mom, don't worry about it, he's a big guy, not a little girl, and he's afraid of being bullied when he goes out?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Yuegui was working, and took a moment to glance at her, "Who hit him just now? It's really promising, the children are so old, and they even beat their younger brothers when they come home, so they are not afraid of being watched by the children." joke."
"My mother, I was just playing with him!" He Xiaofen cried out.
Li Yuegui choked on her: "You still play when you're old? I blush for you."
"Who is old? I'm still young."
"Listen to this, you are a shameless, almost thirty-year-old man."
He Xiaofen rolled her eyes, "What's wrong with being thirty? Thirty is also a flower."
Li Yuegui shook her head, looked disgusted, got up and went to the kitchen to boil water.
He Xiaofen was still murmuring: "Looking at my mother, Xiaoyun, I know that I love her little son. Didn't I just slap him a few times, and I didn't really hurt him. That kid has rough skin and thick flesh..."
He Xiaoyun just laughed and didn't speak.
She muttered for a while, then suddenly said: "After school starts, you can discuss it with Jianwei to see when it is convenient for him to pick you up from get out of class, and drop by Xiaojun School as well. I heard that some people in the city Will reject outsiders, my little brother is stupid, don't really bully others. Let Jianwei show his face, so that his classmates know that we are also in the city."
Just now she complained that her family favored He Xiaojun, but in a blink of an eye she started worrying about him again. He Xiaoyun heard it funny, "Okay, sister, don't worry, I am also Xiaojun's second sister after all, and I will definitely take care of him." She asked her again: " How's your family doing lately?"
Knowing that she was asking about her husband's family, He Xiaofen said: "It's the same, nothing new."
She paused, with a smug expression on her face, and said in a low voice, "But, ever since you and my younger brother both went to college and ate public meals, my mother-in-law's voice has dropped a lot even when talking to me." The two of you will be my big sister and my backer in the future. I just let it go. If I don’t have a son, I will raise my two daughters well. If the grades are good, I will send them both to college. Their family wants a grandson, let Zhang Jin Sheng is going to find another wife."
He Xiaoyun was a little relieved and a little distressed when she heard this, "Fortunately, my brother-in-law has always been considerate of you."
He Xiaofen snorted softly, but raised the corner of her mouth: "If he doesn't stand by me, I'll never be with him."
Knowing that she has always been stubborn, He Xiaoyun smiled and didn't point it out.
Not long after, the people who went to dig the bamboo shoots came back, and their soles were covered with mud from stepping on in the bamboo forest. He Xiaoyun fetched water and asked them to wash their hands and feet by the ditch in the yard before entering the house.
Wei Jianwei put the bamboo basket on the ground, and He Xiaoyun looked at it. Most of the fresh bamboo shoots in the basket, and a handful of fresh bamboo fungus, the white hollow skirt of the bamboo fungus is very beautiful.
"It's a lot to gain," she said.
"It's going to rain, otherwise we can look for it for a while."
Indeed, He Xiaoyun looked up at the sky, and felt sweltering when she got up this morning. Although there was sunshine in the sky for a while, a shower would definitely not be able to run away. This is the case in June.
But it doesn't matter, as the saying goes: rainy days, stay guests.
It was raining outside, and the whole family felt more reunited when they gathered in the house.
Wei Jianwei reached out and tapped the tip of her nose, wiping off a few beads of sweat secreted from her nose.
He Xiaoyun withdrew her gaze and scolded him: "What are you doing, did you secretly put ashes on my face?"
Wei Jianwei nodded with a smile: "Yes, I specially found the pot bottom ash, which is black enough, like a little cat."
Knowing that he was joking, He Xiaoyun still couldn't help wiping her nose, making sure there was nothing above, then glared at him, and said: "Hurry up and fetch two loads of water before it's raining, so as not to try to make trouble when you have nothing to do."
Wei Jianwei naturally obeyed with a smile.
After a busy morning, it didn't take long to wait for the dishes to be served, when it really started to rain cats and dogs, and the raindrops hit the tiles with a clattering sound.
It's lively outside, and it's even more lively inside.
He Dazhi was really happy today. He took out his treasured bayberry wine and poured a glass for each of the juniors. The children drank canned food.
The whole family stood up, the cup holders served the cups, and the bowl holders served the bowls, clinking glasses like in the movie.
"cheers!"
"cheers."
"cheers-"
…
Wei Yuanhang drank the canned soup in one gulp, put down the bowl with a snap, puffed out his small chest, and looked proud, making everyone laugh even more.
The sound of laughter and rain mixed together, hovering over the yard, and lingered for a long time.
The rain didn't stop until the afternoon, and the sun came out soon. He Xiaoyun bid farewell to her parents, siblings, and went home with Wei Jianwei and Wei Yuanhang.
Not far away, I saw a rainbow appearing on the side of the mountain, stretching across the Qingshui River, like a curved arch bridge.
"Wow...it's a rainbow!" Wei Yuanhang cheered and ran forward on short legs.
He Xiaoyun and Wei Jianwei walked side by side with a smile on their faces.
Wei Jianwei took her hand and clasped his fingers, "Very happy?"
"Yeah." He Xiaoyun nodded, no one was on the road, so let him lead her.
I still remember the confusion in her heart when she first came here, like duckweed drifting with the tide, not knowing where she came from or where she was going.
But now, both she and her family are moving forward indomitably towards a better future.
The person next to her, and the clasped hands of the two are the roots of duckweed in the mud. From then on, there is nostalgia, nostalgia, and peace of mind.
My heart is at ease, it is my hometown.
Her heart was suddenly full and sore, and she wanted to tell him a thousand threads, but when she came to her mouth, she couldn't say a word, only a contented smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.
Seeing her smile, he smiled too. No need to ask why.
Children shouted in front of them to hurry up.
The egret in the field was startled by the shout, spread its slender wings, leaped over the winding Qingshui River, and flew towards the colorful rainbow bridge.
In the distance, the blue sky is vast, and the mountains and rivers remain the same.
