Rong and Ying Xun stayed for a week on this trip to Shanghai, and the books they bought can be counted in boxes. Fortunately, although express delivery is not developed at this time, they can still be sent to Xingnan City, but it takes a long time Just a few. There were three boxes of books in total, except for a few important ones that were picked out, the rest were sent back.
On Sunday morning, the two packed their things and went to Hongqiao Airport, took the only flight back to Xingnan City, and returned to the town at around 3:00 pm.
Rong's parents knew that they were coming back today, so they put down their work and went to the town.
"Thank you, is it going well?" Rong's mother looked at the two of them up and down, and finally felt relieved when she found that they were well.
During the week they went, she didn't sleep well and even had a nightmare.
"I'm not hungry yet." Rong Yu yawned. He took a car, took a plane and then took a car. This series of journeys made him a little tired now, and now he just wants to sleep, but: "Mom, Dad, we bought you gifts."
"What about me, what about me?" Rong Yao squeezed over, looking around, "Do you have my watch?"
Rong Yao's squeeze made Rong Yu, who was not standing still, take two steps back, was supported by Ying Xun, and said helplessly, "Yes, yes."
Not only watches, but also clothes for everyone.
The trendy fashion of Shanghai clothing is incomparable in the town, no matter the style or design is excellent, after a few people put on the clothes, they are really handsome and beautiful.
The three people who received the gift laughed so hard that they couldn't see their teeth, and praised each other.
"Watches are small and picky, and so are clothes. Small and good-sighted." Ying Xun said with a smile, only the two of them had watches that Ying Xun picked.
Mother Rong nodded again and again: "Xiaoyu has good eyesight, Xiaoyu..."
The conversation stopped, and only then did everyone realize that Rong Yu had fallen asleep leaning on the sofa, looking calm and relaxed.
Rong's mother remembered that when Rong Yu first came back, even though she looked gentle and humble on the surface, she actually kept a distance from them, and now the child has finally blended in, like a dream.
Ying Xun was not surprised to see Rong Yu fell asleep. He had a nightmare last night, and Rong Yu was so frightened that he didn't sleep well, his eyes were covered with gray.
Ying Xun couldn't help reaching out his hand to brush away a strand of hair on his forehead, bent down to hug him, and whispered to the slightly surprised Rong's parents, "I'll take Xiaoyu back to the room."
Rong Ma nodded, watching Ying Xun's back disappear into the living room, her brows were slightly furrowed.
Seeing that Rong's mother was in a daze, Rong's father asked, "What's wrong?"
Mama Rong shook her head and forced a smile.
—
It took half a month for the books they sent back from Shanghai to arrive at the school. Apart from the books of Rong Yao and Rong's mother, some books were donated to the school. The principal smiled so hard when he received the book, and during the meeting, he praised Rong's parents and said bluntly that they have made great contributions to the school's teaching work.
The three of the Rong family were already famous in the school, and now they are even more popular.
Rong Yao used to have good grades and good looks, but she didn't dress very well, so she didn't have many friends, and the two close friends were also classmates who rose from junior high school. But ever since the principal praised the Rong family's parents at the school assembly twice, everyone flocked to her.
In addition to wanting to establish a relationship for various reasons, there are also some reasons for the test questions and materials in her hands. After all, the original materials of the popular copying activities in schools are her family members. Maybe she has other more material.
Except for a few wealthy families, the students in this era are not just dawdling in their lives. They all want to study. If they can’t pass the undergraduate exam, it’s good to be able to enroll in a junior college.
Many people from Rongyu and Ying Xun also came to play with them, and even from the next class, Rongyu even received the first love letter in his life.
Ying Xun: "..."
The pink envelope was grabbed and turned over and over in his hands, he was so angry that he ground his teeth, and finally threw it on the bed, saying to Rong Yu, "You can't fall in love early."
Who would have thought that a love letter would turn a good weekend into a frustrating one!
Rong Yu was playing Tetris, and when he heard Ying Xun's words, he said without raising his head: "I didn't think about puppy love! But..."
Ying Xun said bluntly: "There is no but, I will help you refuse."
Rong Yu pressed the pause button, raised his head and said, "No way, it was given to me, how disrespectful it is for you to refuse it!"
Ying Xun's face was as dark as ink, "What's wrong, you thought you had a chance when you went there!"
Rong Yu tilted his head, but still felt that it was impossible, "No, I have to go by myself."
Looking at the time, it was almost the meeting time set on the envelope. So I got out of bed and put on my shoes, picked up the envelope on the bed and went out.
Ying Xun stretched out his hand to pull, but it was in vain.
Feeling Ying Xun's movements, Rong Yu turned around and said with a smile, "I'll be back soon."
After the words fell, people quickly ran out.
Naturally, Ying Xun would not let him go by himself, and when he heard footsteps leaving the building, he followed suit.
The address on the letter was under several carambola trees behind the school, and it happened to be the season for carambola to bear fruit. Unfortunately, except for a few small ones, most of them were picked.
After Ying Xun came out, he didn't dare to approach, but only watched from a distance.
It was almost ten o'clock in the morning, and sure enough, I saw a girl in a skirt walking over. The two stood facing each other, and Rong Yu happened to have his back to Ying Xun, so he couldn't see what was going on with him. But the girl said a few words from time to time, and that bright smile dazzled Ying Xun's eyes.
The two chatted for less than three minutes, the girl's smile slowly disappeared, and finally she took back her letter and ran to the other side across Rong Yu.
She had noticed Rong Yu when he was in school, and this time she wrote the love letter, and she acted with the encouragement of her best friend. Although she was rejected, she was happy to be able to talk to him.
Although sad in her heart, the girl managed to hold back her tears, but she didn't expect to see Ying Xun who was with Rongyu often at the corner.
Ying Xun's face was always cold. Some people said that he had never smiled at anyone except Rong Yu. There was an unapproachable aura exuding from all over her body. She thought this was his greatest evil, but she didn't expect that now, she could see a terrible emotion in this man's eyes, as if she had an unshakable hatred with him , I want to tear myself apart.
The girl was so frightened that she staggered and almost fell, and before she had time to look at Ying Xun again, she rushed away in a hurry.
Rong Yu went home after clarifying with others, and saw Ying Xun sitting on the sofa reading a book, the book was upside down.
Rong Yu: "..."
After the monthly exam at the end of December, the person who set fire to Rong’s workshop was finally brought to court. The two brothers of Ling Mousheng’s family who burned the house were both sentenced to 20 years in prison. Each was sentenced to three years. Because these people were too poor and had nothing to compensate, the sentences were heavier. The behind-the-scenes messenger paid the Rong family a total of 200,000 yuan in losses, and the sentence was lighter, only needing to be imprisoned for ten years.
The money came to the account not long after the verdict was passed. The Rong family didn't want to take the money, so they simply took out 100,000 yuan to connect the three villages with electricity, and donated the remaining 100,000 yuan to the school.
This kind of generosity shocked everyone in the town. If they can donate 200,000 yuan, how much money does the Rong family have
Countless people wanted to visit the Rong family and make friends with the Rong family, but unfortunately, in mid-January, the Rong family moved from the small building in the town to the factory.
The factory occupies a very large area. Apart from the small building on the first floor where their family lives, there is also a factory dormitory and two factory buildings built so far, which are enough for the Rong family to start a factory and collect silk. However, the construction of the factory area has not stopped, and Rong Ma still wants to build a cloth factory and a garment factory.
Although money is a bit tight, it can still barely make enough money. On the contrary, Ying Xun took back some of them, which made Rong's mother heave a sigh of relief. It's not because of the money, but because Rong's mother is relieved that her son is really capable. But she didn't want to follow her to speculate in stocks. In her heart, industry is more important.
After the Rong family moved into the factory, the matter of recruiting workers was brought up. They were not in a hurry to recruit in advance because there was still some time before the spring silkworms came out of silk, and there were already some workers, so they were not in a hurry.
But after they moved in, this matter was put on the agenda, and the workers who had been helping in Rongjia Village also went to work in the town.
The Rong family has leaked the news a long time ago. Some people want to go, some people want to go, but they can't. After all, they can do housework and farm when commuting in the village, but it takes four hours to walk back and forth to the town. Buying a bicycle For now, they will not be willing to part with it.
Only half of this group of people finally decided to go to the town. After confirming the number of people, the Rong family intends to recruit workers. Before the job posting was posted, there was a lot of buzz in the town. Almost everyone's attention was on the Rong family these days, and private discussions were inevitable. Some people passed by the Rong family factory from time to time, wanting to see when it would start work and when it would recruit people. , how much is the monthly payment.
This wave of vibes has spread to the school, and some students even asked for permission in secret. Rong Yu came back and told Mother Rong about this matter, and wanted to ask if he could be recruited.
"The main thing is not a big problem, it's fine," Rong's mother thought, she always wanted to give his classmate a face, so she said, "Let's start recruiting on the tenth!"
Rong Yu asked curiously: "Hey, why is it set on the tenth? It's only been a few days!"
After saying that, several people looked at Rong Yu, Rong's mother and father were helpless, Rong Yao was cheerful, and Ying Xun's eyes contained a smile that he couldn't understand.
Rong Yu was appalled by several people, "Why, what's wrong?"
Ying Xun sat beside him: "You forgot, January 8th is our birthday."
Rong Yu was taken aback for a moment, then remembered, and couldn't help but focus on Ying Xun. What kind of fate made Ying Jiazi in Beijing exchange identities with him
Rong and now don't know the specific reason, but—
He lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, which was also quite good.
"On the 6th, let's go to the city to play. I heard that there is an amusement park there, the three of you," Rong Ma sighed softly and smiled. Grab the hands of the three children and hold them together: "Mom hasn't even taken you to a playground!"
When Rong Yao heard this, he nodded again and again: "I want to go, I want to go."
Ying Xun didn't think it mattered, but—
He turned his eyes to Rong Yu, saw him stunned, and then smiled: "Well, go to the amusement park with Mom and Dad."
Although Rong and Zai Ying's family grew up rich, they never went to an amusement park with their parents.
"Yes, yes, and me!" Father Rong, who had always been transparent, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the hands of the family.
The plan to go to the city is two days, go in the morning on the 6th, and come back in the afternoon on the 7th, it happens to be Saturday and Sunday, and Ying Xun and Rongyu are still there, so Rongyao has to let his father ask for leave.
—
The five of them didn't know much about what was in the city, and most of them were heard from people. However, they moved to a new house, and after going to the amusement park, they needed to add some furniture, such as the TV and refrigerator that they had always wanted to buy.
When these two things were brought up, both the elders and Rong Yao were full of anticipation, but Rong and Ying Xun were more calm, but their faces were still happy. No matter what, the family was very happy to do anything together.
Those in the village have moved into the factory one after another, and now they are managed by Uncle Huang, who is next door to the Rong family, and he also came up this time. Mother Rong even specially allocated him a separate dormitory. Good to live together.
This time, the family will go to the city for two days, and the factory will be left to Uncle Huang. The Rong family was not worried. Workers came and went during the day, and they were not afraid at night. This place was still an empty shell, and the most valuable thing was silk. At night, after the shift, Uncle Huang locked the door and set fire to it.
However, regarding the matter of going to work on Saturdays and Sundays, Rong Yu deliberately wanted to mention it to his parents. Although most people don't have any rest days, they are paid on a daily basis, but his factory can't do this.
The family got up early on Saturday morning, all dressed in Ying Xun Herong and the new clothes bought from Shanghai, all casual clothes, the family stood together, the handsome man, the beautiful woman, can make people blind up.
From the town to the city, it takes about two hours by train, but it is faster by car, one hour is enough. But their family can't afford a car now, so they can only go by train.
The five people are not familiar with the city, but there are not many amusement parks now, so they will know where they are if they ask. The city is always richer than the town, but there are not many cars now, and the economy will not fully revive until after 1991. At that time, many cars were imported from abroad, and the price dropped, so taxis began to become common.
Now there are taxis in the city, but there are not many of them. It is not easy to take a taxi. The best means of transportation is the bus. They also have one in the town, and it is crowded with people every time, so everyone still prefers to take the train to the city.
It was only 20 minutes from the train station to the playground, not too far, but it was very crowded. Father Rong protected two of them, while Ying Xun protected Rong Yu.
All five of them stood in the corner, everyone saw Ying Xun's actions. Father Rong looked at the two of them strangely, they were both boys, why did he feel that the younger ones were more delicate
Rong's mother frowned, but quickly looked away.
When the five arrived at the amusement park, there were quite a lot of people. They waited outside for half an hour to get in. The tickets cost one dollar per person. In the past, they must have thought it was expensive, but for the Rong family, it is acceptable now.
While queuing, Ying Xun went to buy a big bag of snacks and water, and after entering the park, he took the bag and walked with the crowd.
This place is more like a park than an amusement park. Most of them are trees and flowers. Along the way, you can see birds you don’t know from time to time, tigers so thin that only have ribs left, and crocodiles that float underwater and can’t come out.
Father Rong and Rong Yao were screaming at it, and they both thought it was amazing. Mother Rong was smiling, and she didn't see how much she liked it, but she was happy. It was the same with Rong Yu, just by his mother's side, helping her from time to time, while Ying Xun was by Rong Yu's side, handing him water from time to time, or feeding him a prunes.
Now it seemed that Father Rong and Rong Yao were more like children.
A few people walked around for almost two hours before they came to the amusement place. The entrance is the carousel, one yuan per ticket. Many parents are reluctant to sit on it, so they let their children go up together.
Rong Yao wanted to rush when he saw it, he was the first to run to the conductor, and turned around to urge a few people: "Hurry up, hurry up."
Neither Ying Xun nor Rong Yu had any interest, but Rong's father was eager to try, but seeing that there were all children, or adults with children, he didn't have much interest in talking about it.
"Five tickets, okay?" Rong Yao turned around and asked.
The family environment has improved, and Rong Yao has a lot of pocket money, so he took out the money and waited for a few people to answer.
"I, I don't need it." Father Rong blushed, refused with his mouth, but glanced at the wooden horse.
Mother Rong couldn't laugh or cry when she saw it, and said, "I want to go too, you can go up with me and sit down!"
"Okay." Father Rong blurted out, and smiled again, his wife and children laughed together. Although his face felt hot, Dad Rong was not shy when he saw that the whole family was happy.
As the head of the family, how can you be ashamed to sit on a Trojan horse
The five members of the Rong family strutted onto the wooden horse. The three children sat in the front, and the two elders sat in the back. It looked quite warm.
Rong Yao chirped: "Wait and take that monkey car!"
Rong Yu and Ying Xun turned their heads and looked over. In fact, it was a small motorized monkey pulling a small car up and down, which was comparable to a merry-go-round. It's just that they are too small. They sit so tall, and they feel like they are bullying little monkeys.
"Ah, there's also that one that slid down from above." Rong Yao looked around, his eyes sparkling.
The two turned their heads and saw a group of friends grabbing the slide, they couldn't help saying in unison: "You should go by yourself!"
Mother Rong smiled and looked at the three children from behind. Thinking of what happened fifteen years ago, who would have thought that there would be so much suffering in the lives of the two children just by accident!
"What's the matter?" Father Rong was very nervous at first, especially when the wooden horse was moving, the hand holding the iron rod couldn't help but tightened, but he relaxed after a circle, and noticed the horse next to him when he relaxed. The wife was in a bad mood, and reached out to hold her: "Crying?"
"No, yes, thinking about Xiao Xun and Xiao Yu." Rong Ma smiled and shook her head.
In a few days, it will be fifteen years.
On that day, a great man left. Some people couldn't help but went to the town to mourn him together, and some people returned to Beijing by train from afar to see him off for the last time. But on the way, Ying Xun's mother gave birth prematurely, and the train happened to stop at Taopo Town. The two entered a midwifery home together, and for some reason they got the wrong hug.
Father Rong held his hand to comfort him: "This is also a kind of fate, aren't the two children very good?"
Rong's mother's eyes fell on the two people in front of her, and she saw Ying Xun reaching out to rub Rong Yu's head to tease him, so angry that Rong Yu stretched out his foot to kick him, but failed to hit him. Furious, Ying Xun finally stretched out his hand and gave Rong Yu a few slaps to calm down.
Rong Yao watched the two interact with each other and laughed, waving the flag and shouting for cheers, but he didn't know who to cheer for.
The merry-go-round didn't sit for a long time, and the five people got off quickly, and they were stopped when they got out.
Father Rong stepped forward and stopped him. Just as he was about to ask what he was doing, the man in overalls handed over the camera, shook it and said, "I took a picture of your family, do you want it? There are five of them, and we only accept them." You have ten dollars."
"Five yuan and ten yuan, it's too expensive!" Although Dad Rong said this, he was still a little moved, but he still said: "Our family is not here, and we can't wait for you to develop the photos."
"It's not expensive, you have to know, if you go to a photo studio to take a photo, it costs three yuan and one piece," the staff said enthusiastically, "I don't need you to wait, I will send it to you, and there is no postage fee."
Father Rong: "How do I know if you will send it over?"
"I'll bill you, look," the staff member took out his ID card, "If you have any questions, come here and find me, can I still take these photos and not work?"
Father Rong thought about the same reason, and couldn't help but look at Mother Rong.
Mother Rong was very moved. They still had a photo of their family. Even when she got married, she didn't have one.
Ying Xun was also moved: "Go for it!"
He knew that there was such a business in amusement parks in this era, and it lasted until the 20th century, and it was very popular until the smartphone came out. Even in some scenic spots in the 21st century, there are still people who ask if they want a photo after cutting it first and then taking a photo.
The Rong family wanted it, and the staff were naturally happy. They took all the money, but they just wrote an order to Rong's mother, stating how much they received, and how many photos they would send to them.
What this staff member did aroused Ying Xun's thoughts, and his eyes turned to Rong Yu. He also wanted to record the current Rong Rong.
The next part of the five people's itinerary was to take the monkey car, only Rong Yao took the ride alone, and the four of them stood by and waited for her while eating snacks.
"Xiao Xun is still careful, unlike your father." Mother Rong praised.
Father Rong who was eating an apple: "?"
I suspect that my wife is implicating me.
After Rong Yao finished riding the monkey car, she went to play on the slide and drill into the cave. To her, everything seemed new.
However, although this is called an amusement park, there are not many things that can be enjoyed. There are no roller coasters and haunted houses that are more popular in later generations, but there are many people who go boating.
The Rong family also rented a boat, and they rowed until after one o'clock in the afternoon. In fact, there is nothing fun in rowing, just to see the scenery along the water on both sides. This may be interesting to city people, but for people who grew up on the side of the mountain, the scenery is really not beautiful.
The five of them originally planned to come to play for two days, thinking that they could spend one day in the amusement park, but they didn't expect that there would be less fun in the amusement park than expected. After visiting the park, the five of them found a place to have dinner until three o'clock in the afternoon. After discussion, they simply went to watch the TV and refrigerator now. If they could buy something they were satisfied with, they would go back this afternoon.
Mama Rong's suggestion was approved by everyone, and she chose the largest shopping mall in the city, because money is not tight and things are easy to buy. In addition to the refrigerator and TV, Ying Xun also picked out a camera.
The three items were all big items, and the shopping mall agreed to help them deliver them home, so they could take the two of them along, so the three little ones took the train back by themselves, and let Rong's father and Rong's mother go back with the car.
The Rongjia factory is some distance away from the center of the town. When the car returned to the factory, there was no one there. The driver helped to move the things in. From time to time, he glanced around and was secretly amazed. No wonder he could buy three things at a time. It was so big. The factory is really powerful.
The Rong family filled these two items and put them on the second floor. They didn't want to make a fuss about it, and not many people knew about it.
The 8th is Tuesday, Rong and He Yingxun's birthday, when they got up in the morning, Rong's mother made longevity noodles for them, and asked for leave for the three children in the evening to celebrate their birthdays.
That afternoon, after class, Rong Yu and Ying Xun did not go back immediately after class, but waited for Rong Yao downstairs.
At the beginning of the second year of high school, the teachers at the school were already nervous, so they would always delay the class, and the two of them waited for Rong Yao for almost twenty minutes before coming out.
"Cake, cake, cake." Rong Yao happily carried her schoolbag on her back. When she came to the town, she would always drool when she saw the only cake shop, but at that time she felt distressed even after eating a vegetable bun, so why would she buy it? Let's eat the cake!
Think about it, the scene at that time is not far from now. Who would have thought that with the incident of Xiaoyu and Xiaoxun swapping sons, and then Xiaoxun came back, everything changed at home.
Seeing her happy face, Rong Yu couldn't help asking: "My sister likes to eat cakes!"
Rong Yao raised his eyebrows, raised his chin slightly, and thought for a while: "I don't know, I haven't eaten it, but it should be delicious, right?"
Small and definitely eaten.
Rong Yu nodded: "Well, it's delicious."
Rong Yao smiled, and asked: "Do you still want to make a wish? I heard it from my classmates, but I haven't tried it yet!"
Rong Yu nodded: "Well, make a wish, I will order you the biggest one for my sister's birthday."
I thought Rong Yao would be happy, but she shook her head and said, "Let's see if it tastes good, or not."
Rong Yu: "..."
Was his sister a realist
