At this time, there was a zoo, but the types of animals in it must be incomparable with those of later generations. Su Hui was not very interested in it, and she always acted very calm.
If it wasn't for the four children happily there, Xiao Gu would have doubted it.
Is this really your first time visiting the city? Didn't lie to him
After visiting the zoo and going to the last stop, which is the museum, they passed by a photo studio. Su Hui dragged them in, and the mother and son took a group photo.
The photos can't be obtained immediately, and they don't have the technology now, so after paying the money and holding the voucher, Xiao Gu will help them get it, and then hand it over to Brother Su, and then hand it over to her.
This was their first photoshoot, and they were a little nervous. After seeing it, Su Hui decided to take a photo with them every year. When they get older, it must be a good memory.
The museum is quite deserted, and only foreigners come here to take a look at this place. The locals have been here once, basically there will be no second time. And because of the special age and the special depression, some things were smashed, which made people who really knew their value very sad, but there was no way to stop them.
When Su Hui and the others were shopping, Xiao Gu took the opportunity to go out.
He ordered some of the remaining money and went to buy some things for them to take back.
In this way, his hospitality journey should be considered a successful completion.
He didn't buy too expensive things. He is also a countryman, and he understands the habit of wanting to break a penny into two. It looks good and doesn't cost much.
He also bought some defective fabrics from people he knew on his own initiative. This kind of fabric is not very big, but it is no problem to make children's vests and pants.
Taking time, they arrived at the station early, rather than late.
Xiao Gu waited for the car with them, and the car arrived after not too long.
Wave goodbye to Xiao Gu.
There weren't many people in the car, at least they all had vacant seats.
This day didn't stop, the two older ones were okay, but the two younger ones became sleepy shortly after sitting down, leaning against Su Hui, their eyelids drooped as if something was hanging on them.
Zhang Weiguo was also wiping his eyes, but he didn't want to sleep, he thought he could still hold on!
He wants to see the scenery on the road!
Ten minutes later, he also fell asleep.
It's good to rest for a while, when they go back to the town, they still have to walk for half an hour to go home.
Tian Siyi has prepared meals at home and is waiting for her daughter and grandson to come back.
She also prepared hot water according to her daughter's instructions before going out. She said that she must wash it up if it is dusty, otherwise she will not be able to sleep well. In this weather, cold water is enough, but after all, she is still ready.
When she opened the cupboard in her daughter's kitchen, she saw something, but she was not willing to use it. They went to the city, and they should have a good meal, and it would be good to fill their stomachs when they come back.
Out of this consideration, she steamed the sweet potatoes, boiled a pot of mung bean water, and blanched a plate of green vegetables, the kind without any oily spots, and it was ready.
Li Manfen brought her curious grandson Zhang Jinhua over after finishing her work, and she planned to settle the dinner here.
She came mainly because she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be here. When her daughter-in-law brought good things from the city, she would be forced to send them to her mother's house. She wanted to come and watch.
After exchanging greetings, she went to the kitchen to have a look. She was satisfied with the dishes. Some mothers-in-law don't know how to be considerate of their daughters. It's rare that they came here once, so they frantically filled their mouths with good things, without thinking about the future of their daughter and son-in-law. .
She added a couple of sweet potatoes, and she and her grandson settled for dinner here.
Because there were children, Su Hui and the others returned to the village a little later than usual, but it was already dark in summer, and there was still a little time before it got dark. Wei, it trotted over, joyfully circling and rubbing against its master and young masters who hadn't seen each other during the day, fully expressing its excitement and joy, and getting killed by the little master's pat on the head.
"You are back." Tian Siyi greeted them: "Are you tired? Are you hungry? The meal is ready."
Li Manfen also nodded: "I'll go and bring out the food."
Tired must be tired, but it’s okay after resting in the car for a while. As for whether they are hungry or not... They ate enough at noon, although they consumed almost all of it in the afternoon, but they solved half of it in the car. The egg cake, pad the stomach, but also okay.
Su Hui put the package on the stool first, and everyone's gazes inevitably looked over.
Li Manfen thought, this package is smaller than the one she brought out during the day, but can the things brought back from the city compare with the local specialties in the village
Definitely worth more, don't know what's in there.
Zhang Jinhua was also very curious. It was in the city. He looked at Zhang Baoguo and the four of them with envy on his face. He went to ask his parents. None of them had ever been to the city. Only his grandfather had been there once when he was young. He really wants to go too.
This idea went up another level after the second aunt opened the package, the colorful candies, the fragrant pastries that he couldn't name...
Su Hui handed them three respectively: "Try it, this is called chicken cake." There are other names, which are more literary and pleasant, but everyone basically calls it chicken cake, and the main material is made of eggs.
"What else do I eat at this age, let you eat it." Tian Siyi declined, Zhang Baoguo held it and handed it to her mouth: "Grandma, you eat, we still have more."
As soon as Zhang Jinhua got it, he ate it, it melted in the mouth, soft, fragrant and sweet, with endless aftertaste.
Li Manfen thought about whether to give this piece to her eldest grandson, but seeing Zhang Weiguo looking at her eagerly, she took it and put it in her mouth.
This egg is fragrant and sweet. It is made with eggs and sugar. It is made of white flour.
"What is this? It's so delicious." Zhang Jinhua admired. They also ate pastries when they were delivered last time, but it wasn't this kind.
Last time Li Manfen ate some leftovers, and gave the rest to the children. She felt that it was not as delicious as this time.
After eating a small piece, Li Manfen refused to let him eat it.
"It's time to eat, save it for next time."
The fabric Li Manfen and Tian Siyi looked and looked, touched and touched, and when they heard Su Hui say that it was a defective product in the mall, when they got it cheap, their faces were full of envy, this size was made for children There is no problem with the clothes, even adults, it’s no problem to make up for it. It’s half the normal price, and you don’t need a cloth ticket. Where can you find such a good thing
Su Hui saw that the amount was not large, so she didn't ask to share it with them, but she was more generous with the candy and snacks, and each person gave about a quarter, and among the quarter, Li Manfen's was better than Tian Siyi's. There are more of them there, Su Hui would not have this kind of differential treatment in her heart, but if she gave it the same, hehe, Li Manfen probably would have a long speech, in order to keep her ears quiet, Su Hui decided to make it up later for Tian Siyi .
Sitting down to eat, after seeing the steamed sweet potato, mung bean soup, and hot wild vegetables, the movements of the five mother and son were undetectable for a second. This kind of meal, not to mention the comparison with today's, is with the separation Afterwards, the food they ate was far from comparable. It seems that such a meal was a long time ago. There is really no desire to let people eat chopsticks with this kind of blanched greens without oil flakes.
It cannot be denied that the four children's appetites have been whetted by being raised by Su Hui.
They ate less, Tian Siyi and Li Manfen didn't think it was strange, they must have eaten something good when they went to the city, and they ate less after they came back, it must be because their stomachs haven't finished digesting it, and now there is nothing to eat and sleep without talking Rules, talking while eating.
Su Hui handed over the task of explaining to the four children. She gnawed on the sweet potato silently. In fact, the steamed sweet potato is quite sweet. If you use this as a snack, it's no problem at all.
The four talked to each other, telling what they had experienced, and Zhang Baoguo also took out his well-preserved movie ticket stub, which caused the three of them to exclaim: "You still went to the movies, and you still went to the movies!" The zoo!"
Can't imagine what kind of place that is.
Zhang Weiguo had a sweeter mouth, and said "sweet words" obediently: "Grandma, grandma, when we earn money in the future, we will take you there!"
Get two happy smiles.
Li Manfen didn't like this daughter-in-law very much, and he didn't care as much about these grandchildren as he did for the eldest grandson. Hearing this, he still laughed.
Of course, they also know the expenses along the way. Except for the dictionary and the photography, they are all paid by others. They don’t know how much it cost to buy the books. It was a rare time that they said that it was too expensive and didn't say much, especially if they went to the state-run restaurant for two meals, movie tickets, and snacks... This trip was really profitable.
Zhang Jinhua had completely forgotten the unhappiness in the past, and squatted in front of Zhang Baoguo, hoping that he would say more.
Among the few brothers, he is the oldest, knows the most, and knows how to express it best. Others always feel that something is missing when he speaks, so he keeps in front of him and expects him to say more Some.
Whatever gets emotional and ignores you, all disappear.
Tian Siyi and Li Manfen had to be more reserved to absorb, but pricked up their ears overnight and listened attentively.
After digesting it for a while, Tian Siyi asked her daughter: "Did you say anything in the end, let you go again?"
"No, but he knows the address of my home, and he will write to me if there is anything wrong." Su Hui also planned to find a chance to take the children to play in the city in the future, and of course he had to leave a way.
Li Manfen: "I probably won't be able to do it in the near future. It's good to be able to walk around as friends in the future. Multiple friends, multiple paths."
She felt in her heart that there should be no such good things in the future.
This night, Tian Siyi stayed here, and left early the next day, delaying a day's work, she wanted to go back early.
On this day, the four of Zhang Baoguo became the center surrounded by children. Whether it was at school or in the village, everyone asked them how the city was like, and some adults also asked. The most frequently asked questions were shopping malls, movies and zoos. , Zhao Xialan was also joining in the fun, and after listening to it, she expressed her contempt for Su Hui: "You just can't speak with that mouth, look at how exciting your son's words are."
Su Hui was speechless.
People really feel that the city is novel, she doesn't have this kind of emotion at all, and she wants to act... She has no love for acting.
For dinner, Su Hui made eggplant with salted fish, egg pancakes, stir-fried pumpkin flowers, blanched bean leaves, and a seaweed egg drop soup, served with white rice. The mother and child enjoyed a beautiful meal.
Zhang Baoguo's voice was a little hoarse, which means talking too much.
Zhang Weiguo's voice also changed a bit.
Su Hui soaked them in honey water, and then assigned them tasks.
"Going to the city to have fun?"
The four said in unison: "Happy!"
"Okay, then each of you write a review, or write a travelogue, and check it with me in three days."
Zhang Weiguo looked left and right: "Everyone?"
He hasn't gone to school yet!
Su Hui affirmed: "Yes, everyone."
Zhang Dingguo opened his mouth wide and looked at his twin brother: "Mom, my brother and I can't write!" At least the second brother can know some words, but they only practiced numbers.
Su Hui is quite "iron and selfless".
"If you don't know how to write, just dictate. Ask your elder brother to help. Baoguo's writing must exceed 600 words, Weiguo's writing must exceed 400 words, and the two of you have 300 words."
Zhang Baoguo: "..."
He had a strong premonition that he had to write everything.
He tightened his cheeks and looked at Zhang Weiguo: "It's okay, you can't write and there are dictionaries, you can look through dictionaries, can't you?"
Anyway, lighten a burden.
Su Hui looked a little funny: "Didn't you tell everyone a lot, isn't it difficult to write hundreds of words? Also, Baoguo, I'll give you this notebook." Su Hui took out a notebook.
"This is for you to write a diary in the future. I taught you the format of the diary. There is no limit to the number of words. Write whatever you want."
Writing more diaries will help them write essays in the future.
Zhang Baoguo took it, his face was a little heavy, he felt that he had a lot to do, but he is a little man, he can do it!
…
Su Hui went to the middle school in the town to take the exam for the first year of junior high school.
The middle school in the town also finished the exams, and the students had their holidays with their grades, so they had time to organize a special exam for Su Hui.
Su Hui handed in the examination papers under the proctor of two teachers, and the result came out soon.
The principal of the middle school looked at the report card and the good writing, and couldn't help but smile a little more on his face.
"Okay, then I'll upgrade your student status to the second year of junior high school. Because of your special circumstances, I will give you a junior high school diploma when you pass the exam next year."
The current school system is five-two-two, five years in elementary school, two years in junior high school and high school.
The atmosphere of criticizing and fighting in their town is not as strong as in the city, but the teachers don't dare to do unnecessary things. Graduation certificate, but the principal doesn't want to do anything out of the ordinary, so he can protect himself wisely.
Su Hui also understands that it's only one more year, and there is no problem. Moreover, it only took half a year to get the junior high school diploma, and it will cause other people to look at it. It's not so eye-catching now.
Back in the village, Su Hui wanted to go to the primary school principal first to tell him the good news. On the road, she saw a gray-haired old man passing by carrying a load of excrement. When she saw Su Hui, she paused. , quickened the pace and left.
Su Hui walked slowly, falling into memories, this person was very unfamiliar, she recalled it in her mind, and it took a while before she remembered who he was.
He was sent here from a big city to reform, and he had to go to the town to accept organizational inspections every once in a while. Zhang Chengye didn't like this kind of thing in the village. There were very few stages of criticizing and fighting on stage, and he would only do it when someone inspected him. After a while, I usually put those people in the cowshed, let them do the dirtiest and most tiring things, and transform their bodies and minds. Except for work, they basically don't show up in the village, and the villagers don't want to get involved with them In Yuanshen's memory, she has only seen her twice, and since she came, she has less time to work in the fields, and she is in the opposite direction from the cowshed, this is the first time she has encountered it.
