Chapter 61 - .061 Peace of mind
A few days after He Xiaoyun arrived home, there was good news from the commune. For those students who took the college entrance examination this summer, the first batch of admission notices arrived. Among them was her brother He Xiaojun.
He Xiaoyun had just returned home two days ago and asked how He Xiaojun was doing in the exam, but he only said it was okay.
Because the grades did not come out, she did not dare to ask more, for fear of hurting the fragile little hearts of young people.
Unexpectedly, that kid would receive an admission letter from the capital. Although it is not a top university, it is also very good.
There are two college students in the family, all of which are schools in the capital. He Xiaoyun and his family are well-known throughout the commune. Their parents, He Dazhi and Li Yuegui, have become hot figures in Qingshuihe. No matter where they go, there are people. Learn from them and ask how to raise your children.
The two lived to 40 or 50 years old, and they had never been in such a limelight. They were quite overwhelmed, and they didn’t dare to go out because of hiding at home.
However, such a big event should really be celebrated. Just as He Xiaoyun and Wei Jianwei were at home, Li Yuegui asked He Xiaojun to run errands and tell them to go back for dinner the next day.
After getting up the next day to clean up, He Xiaoyun took her husband and children back to her natal home.
Coincidentally, her eldest sister He Xiaofen’s family arrived as soon as she walked to the door.
The small yard suddenly became crowded, and a few children gathered together, and it was very noisy and chattering.
He Xiaofen smiled and slapped He Xiaojun’s arm: “When did your kid become so calm, and for such a big thing, you didn’t leak a word before, why didn’t you suffocate you?”
“Sister, be gentle.” He Xiaojun dodged hard under her iron palm.
But He Xiaofen beat him. It was from childhood to adulthood. The punching technique came. He didn’t hide no matter how much he did. He simply led a few small nephews and hurried out the door, “I’ll take Xiaohang and them out to play!” “
“Don’t run far, eat in a while, and don’t go to the river!” Li Yuegui confessed loudly from behind.
“Smelly boy, I haven’t finished asking what I said.” He Xiaofen snorted.
He specifically called back both his daughter and son-in-law and the family. Li Yuegui prepared a good meal today. In addition to the bacon left over during the Chinese New Year, he also bought fish and tofu, and slaughtered an eggless chicken at home.
She and her daughters were busy at home, while He Dazhi and her two sons-in-law went to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest at the back.
While working, Li Yuegui inquired about the situation in the capital and knew that He Xiaojun’s school was not far from He Xiaoyun. She was obviously more relieved.
He Xiaofen lowered his mouth, “Mom, don’t worry about it, he is a big man, not a little girl, and he is afraid of being bullied when he goes out?”
“What are you talking about,” Li Yuegui worked on her hand and took the time to glance at her, “Who hit him just now? It’s really promising. The child is so old that he hits his younger brother when he comes home, so he is not afraid of being watched by the child. joke.”
“My mother, didn’t I play with him!” He Xiaofen cried out injustice.
Li Yuegui choked her: “I’m still playing when I’m old? I’m blushing for you.”
“Who is old? I’m still tender.”
“Listen to this, faceless, almost thirty-year-old.”
He Xiaofen rolled his eyes, “What’s wrong with thirty years old? Thirty years old is also a flower.”
Li Yuegui shook her head, looking disgusted, got up and went to the kitchen to boil water.
He Xiaofen was still muttering: “Xiaoyun, look at Mom, you know that you feel sorry for her little son. Didn’t I take a few shots, and didn’t really hurt him, that kid is rough and thick…”
He Xiaoyun just smiled and didn’t speak.
She murmured for a while, then suddenly said: “After school starts, you will discuss with Jianwei to see when it will be convenient for him to pick you up and go to Xiaojun School by the way. I heard that there are some people in the city. Will repel 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.”
I just complained that the family loves He Xiaojun, and in a blink of an eye she started worrying about him again. He Xiaoyun heard it funny, “Okay, don’t worry, sister, I am also the second sister Xiaojun anyway, I will definitely take care of him.” Then he asked her: ” How’s your family doing?”
Knowing that she was asking 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, since knowing that you and your little brother are both admitted to college and eating public meals, my mother-in-law has a much lower voice when talking to me. The two of you will be my eldest sister’s backer in the future. I just let it go, and if I don’t have a son, I will raise my two daughters well. If the grades are good, I will also ask them to go to college. Their family wants a grandson, let Zhang Jin Sheng went to find a wife again.”
He Xiaoyun listened, feeling relieved and painful, “Fortunately, brother-in-law has always been considerate of you.”
He Xiaofen snorted softly, but raised the corner of his mouth: “If he didn’t stand with me, he would have gone with him long ago.”
Knowing that she has always been stiff mouth, He Xiaoyun smiled without piercing it.
Not long after, the few people who went to dig bamboo shoots came back. They stepped on the soles of their shoes in the bamboo forest with mud. 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 placed the bamboo basket on the ground, and He Xiaoyun looked at it. Half of the basket of fresh bamboo shoots and a handful of fresh bamboo fungus. The white hollowed out skirt of the bamboo fungus was very beautiful.
“A lot of gains,” she said.
“It’s raining soon, otherwise I can look for it for a while.”
Indeed, He Xiaoyun looked up at the sky. She felt sultry when she woke up this morning. Although there was a temporary sun in the sky, a shower would definitely not be able to escape. This is the case in June.
But it’s okay, as the saying goes: It’s raining, staying a guest.
It was raining outside, and the family gathered in the house to feel more reunion.
Wei Jianwei reached out and touched the tip of her nose, wiping away the sweat beads secreted from her.
He Xiaoyun retracted her gaze and groaned him: “What are you doing, did you secretly smear my face?”
Wei Jianwei smiled and nodded: “Yes, the bottom of the pot I specially found is dark enough, like a small tabby cat.”
Knowing that he was joking, He Xiaoyun couldn’t help but wipe her nose, and made sure that there was nothing on it, before glaring at him, and said, “While it is not raining, hurry up and pick two loads of water, so I don’t want to do anything.”
Wei Jianwei smiled naturally.
I was busy all morning, not long after waiting for the good food to be on the table, it really rained heavily, and the raindrops hit the tiles and rattled.
The house is lively outside, and the house is more lively.
He Dazhi was really happy today. He moved out of his collection of bayberry wine and poured a glass for the juniors alone. The children drank canned food.
Everyone stands up, cups cups and bowls cups, clinking glasses like in the movie.
“cheers!”
“cheers.”
“cheers–“
…
Wei Yuanhang drank the canned soup in one breath, then slapped the bowl down, holding his small chest, his heroic appearance made everyone laugh.
The laughter and the sound of rain mixed together, hovering over the yard for a long time.
The rain didn’t stop until noon, and the sun soon came out. He Xiaoyun bid farewell to her parents and brothers and went home with Wei Jianwei and Wei Yuanhang.
I didn’t go far, and saw a rainbow appearing on the side of the mountain, across the Qingshui River, like a curved arch bridge.
“Wow…it’s a rainbow!” Wei Yuanhang cheered and ran forward with his short legs.
He Xiaoyun and Wei Jianwei walked side by side, with smiles on their faces.
Wei Jianwei held her hand and shook her fingers together, “I’m very happy?”
“Yeah.” He Xiaoyun nodded, no one on the road, let him lead.
I still remember the confusion in her heart when she first came here, like duckweed drifting with the flow, without knowing where to come and where to go.
And now, both she and her family are heading for a better future.
The person next to her, the two clenched hands, are the roots of the duckweed stuck in the mud. Since then, there will be longing, remembering, and peace of mind.
I feel at ease, my hometown.
Suddenly, her heart was full of soreness and soreness, and there were a thousand threads trying to tell him, but she couldn’t say a word when she came to her mouth, it only turned into a satisfied smile with the corner of her mouth curled up.
Seeing her smile, he also smiled. No need to ask why.
The child shouted in front of them to hurry up.
The field egret was stunned by the shouts, spreading its wispy wings, flying over the winding Qingshui River towards the colorful Hongqiao.
In the distance, the blue sky is vast, and the mountains and rivers remain the same.
