After finishing their exams, Xiao Tangyuan and Guobaorou have summer vacation. They are very happy about it, but they can’t help feeling sad when they think about transferring to another school and parting with their former classmates.
Zhan Aiping made a yearbook for the children and asked them to fill it out.
Little Tangyuan said to Zhan Aiping: "Mom, if I transfer to another school, will my class monitor be gone?"
How depressing, she had only been monitor for a few years, and she had her own guard of honor!
Lu Cheng, the labor committee member, can no longer supervise her work.
Zhan Aiping said: "You can continue to work hard and strive to become the monitor of the new class. The school over there is big, and there may be many classes in one grade."
Little Tangyuan sighed: "Ah..."
Zhan Aiping said: "Mom's dean is gone too."
Guo Bao Rou said: "My labor committee member is gone too."
Zhan Aiping said, "Don't worry, you two, there is still a chance. Mom asked someone and they said that the classes there might be re-divided next semester, and the class leaders will definitely be re-selected at that time."
"Really?" Little Tangyuan and Sweet Pot Pork's eyes lit up.
Sweet and sour pork was full of fighting spirit: "Mom, I want to be the monitor this time!"
Little Tangyuan: "… Should I be the labor committee member?"
Zhan Aiping patted their heads and said, "It depends on your efforts."
These two children in the family are really little official fans and are so enthusiastic about being class leaders.
Little Tangyuan said, "Mom, I'm going to transfer to another school next semester. Do I not have to do my summer homework?"
Zhan Aiping snorted: "If you want to be beautiful, you still have to do your summer homework. Write it well. Mom will check it."
Little Tangyuan sighed: "Okay."
Little Mianhua was watching her sister and laughing. Zhan Aiping looked at her little daughter and said, "Little Mianhua has to do some math problems, too."
Little Mianhua looked at her mother in shock. She emphasized in a baby voice, "Mom, I haven't started school yet!"
Zhan Aiping pinched her little face and said, "You can't avoid studying."
Little Tangyuan snickered, "Sister, do your homework with me, I will teach you math."
Little Cotton: "Sister, brother said you calculated it wrong, don't be careless!"
Little Tangyuan: “…”
Zhan Aiping: “…”
The little sisters in their family all like to avoid studying, but they also like to urge others to study and do their homework.
"We are going to visit my second uncle. We all need to pack our things and remember to bring our homework. If some people don't bring their summer homework, then mom will have to reassign more homework."
"Second uncle?"
"Yes, he is Dad's second brother, whom Youyou Yuanyuan has seen." Zhan Aiping continued, "Go to your second uncle's house and your little cousin will play with you. Your cousin is still young."
Little Cotton asked curiously, "How old is your brother?"
Zhan Aiping: "He is just a little older than you. He is your brother."
Little Cotton was disappointed.
Why doesn’t she have more brothers
The family packed their luggage, and everyone carried a big bag. This time they were not going by train, but by plane. After all, they were going far away, and Zhan Aiping didn't want to waste her precious time on a long-distance train.
Flying is not too expensive. Their family can still afford a plane ticket of a few dozen dollars.
The children had never seen an airplane before, and they were all very excited. Zhan Aiping urged them to wear their sun hats, "Don't let them get blown away."
Gu Sheng took off his military uniform, put on a white shirt, and wore sunglasses that covered most of his face, especially his pair of blurry peach blossom eyes. His whole temperament became much more fierce.
So he quite likes wearing sunglasses.
In preparation for this long journey, Zhan Aiping permed her hair, pierced her ears, and wore simple anti-inflammatory silver earrings. Although these have nothing to do with each other, when going on a long journey, one has to change into some fashionable clothes.
There are now advertisements on television and the concept of fashion coming from foreign countries. In March, a grand fashion show was held that made headlines, and various foreign brands of fashion began to appear on the market.
Young people in the city are very fashionable, wearing a lot of bell-bottom pants and leather jackets and pants. It is less common in the countryside, where people still wear blue work clothes and white shirts. However, in schools in the countryside and in schools in the town, the way young people dress has quietly changed.
Zhan Aiping also wore sunglasses and a popular red skirt on the street, which was in line with the normal style of pursuing fashion in this era.
—Although they also plan to go into the mountains to dig ginseng.
Just change your attire when the time comes.
Before boarding the plane, the family took a lot of photos. Little Tangyuan hugged her sister with a sweet smile. The pair of sisters attracted the attention of many passers-by.
After taking the photos, Zhan Aiping looked at her watch and it was almost time.
"Kids, let's get ready to board the plane." Zhan Aiping took Gu Sheng's hand and urged the children to follow.
We queued up and got on the plane. The plane was quite small. It was not very comfortable to fly in this era and it was noisy. If the green train hadn't been shaking too slowly, Zhan Aiping would have preferred to take the train.
Of course, the trains were too crowded, the smells were bad, and long-distance train rides were pure torture.
Zhan Aiping talked to the children for a while and then fell asleep on the plane. She slept so soundly that she dreamed of digging ginseng. When she woke up, she had arrived at her destination.
Gu Sheng said to the children, "Your mother must have had a sweet dream."
Little Cotton: "Mom, you slept for a long time."
"Yeah." Zhan Aiping didn't feel embarrassed at all. There was nothing she could do about it; she just had a good sleep.
After getting off the plane and changing to a car, they arrived at the destination. Brother Gu had already asked someone to pick them up in a jeep. After another long journey, they finally arrived at the camp where Brother Gu was.
The second brother Gu, who had a slicked-back hair and looked increasingly rough, met his younger brother wearing sunglasses, his sister-in-law wearing red skirts, the little sisters around his younger brother, and the handsome sweet and sour pork.
Second Brother Gu's gaze stopped on the sweet and sour pork.
Brother Gu said, "Your son looks like my son."
"Really?" Little Tangyuan was curious: "My younger brother looks like my older brother?"
Zhan Aiping was puzzled: "...?"
"Yes, you will know when you see your brother Huzi."
The eldest son of the second brother Gu and his second sister-in-law Qiao Ling is nicknamed Hu Zi, but he does not look much like his name. He is a skinny little monkey who looks like his biological mother Qiao Ling. He is very naughty and jumps up and down like a monkey all day long, giving his biological mother a headache.
He doesn't like reading and doing homework.
Second Brother Gu's house is very big, with a large plot of land. The houses are neatly built, spacious and arranged in a very rigorous manner. At this time, Hu Zi is also at home on summer vacation. He has just started elementary school. His biological mother, Qiao Ling, works at the Xinhua Bookstore. She has high expectations for her son and hopes that he can be admitted to a good university in the future and focus on studying from an early age.
Brother Gu caught his son and shouted, "Huzi, this is your uncle and aunt, as well as your brother Youyou, sister Yuanyuan, and sister Xiaomianhua."
Hu Zi nodded and greeted everyone one by one obediently. When he was not mischievous, he looked like a handsome and well-behaved little boy. But when he became naughty, his father was so angry that he ran around like a monkey. Unfortunately, although this boy was thin, he was a natural sprinter and ran very fast.
Zhan Aiping smiled and said, "These two brothers do look a bit alike."
Brother Gu said, "They all look like their mother."
"My daughter looks like her father." Brother Gu was very proud: "My daughter looks a lot like me."
His little daughter is not even one year old yet and follows her mother to work in the Xinhua Bookstore every day. Qiao Ling keeps his daughter in the bookstore in order to cultivate her bookish aura from an early age.
She felt that the scent of books she had smelled since she was a child had become more and more popular, and over time, it became like pickled vegetables, and her whole body was filled with the scent of books.
Little Tangyuan pointed at himself and said, "I look like dad too!"
"indeed."
Second Brother Gu looked at the kids in his younger brother's family. Although they seemed well-behaved and obedient on the surface, he didn't believe that his younger brother and Zhan Aiping would give birth to three well-behaved children. They would definitely be like his son Hu Zi, who looked delicate on the outside but was actually extremely naughty.
Now that these four devils are here, why don’t they just fly around
"Let the children play together."
Zhan Aiping asked Guobaorou and the others to put their luggage away, and then went out to play with brother Huzi.
Hu Zi was not a shy person. Although they had never met in person, he had heard of the reputations of his cousins. The most terrifying one among them was Sweet and Sour Pork. His mother said that he always got the first place in the exams.
Of course, the more terrifying one is the mother of Sweet and Sour Pork, who is also his aunt—Zhan Aiping.
In the young Hu Zi's mind, Zhan Aiping was synonymous with a very scary old witch, because she actually compiled a set of terrible math problems for elementary school students. This set of math problems is still regarded as a treasure by his biological mother Qiao Ling and placed on the bookshelf in his room.
Their school actually also uses this set of math problems, which is simply the nightmare of countless primary school students. If they knew that Zhan Aiping was actually his little aunt, they would definitely feel very pity for him.
Hu Zi was not welcome to his uncle and aunt visiting his home. He was afraid that the aunt would bring him some newly compiled math problems as a gift for her good nephew.
But this young aunt actually looked quite gentle and pretty, not the old witch who would hit people on the palms with a ruler and force them to do math problems as imagined.
Hu Zi sneaked up to Guo Bao Rou and the others to find out what they had brought, and he ended up seeing Xiao Tangyuan's summer homework.
Hu Zi looked at them with pity: "Aren't you here to play? Why are you bringing these?"
Xiao Tangyuan was very proud, so she didn't want to admit that she was forced to do her summer homework, so she deliberately said, "We are all surnamed Gu, and we all like to do homework. Don't you like to do homework?"
