Chapter Nine A farewell with the family

A new day has come. I have nothing to do today. My family is in the countryside, so there will be a lot of farm work. I saw that my mother was going to do farm work today and saw her current body.

I still have to do farm work. I feel very uncomfortable. It’s still very early now, a little after eight o’clock, and my mother has already gone to do farm work. I think I should help, so

I finished my breakfast quickly.

I came to the place where my mother does farm work. I am very familiar with this place because I have already done farm work here when I was a child. As a rural person, it is unreasonable to not know how to do farm work. I saw it from a distance.

I saw my mother's figure and trotted over.

"Mom! I'm here to help you." I shouted to my mother.

"Xiaotian, why are you here? You just came back yesterday, why don't you take a good rest at home! Farm work here is very hard." Mother said with concern, with a slight smile on her face.

"It's okay, Mom, look at how strong I am, it won't be hard for me to do farm work." I said loudly, and deliberately held up my sleeves, exposed my arms, and showed myself

I'm strong, but when I look at my arms, I feel a little less confident, because my body is very thin, but not short.

When my mother saw my arms like this, she laughed, "Ha... ha... How can you still be strong like this? You are as thin as a rib."

I was embarrassed by my mother's words. In fact, don't think I look very thin, but my strength is not small! My strength has been cultivated since I was a child.

My mother still couldn't talk to me, because she knew that I had been a relatively hard-working person since I was a child, and doing such a job was a piece of cake, so I helped reduce some of the burden on my mother in the orchard.

In the process of doing farm work, I felt the hard work of being a farmer and the difficulty of making money. This is true. I really know this truth. Even if I haven't started to make money yet, I am still in the countryside.

I know this has happened. Who doesn’t know that everything we eat now is produced by farmers? If there were no farmers, our food sources would be much less. Would we still be full?

question.

I felt a little tired during this work, but I didn't regret it at all, because I was able to help my mother today and contribute a little bit of my strength to my family. I

It's very happy.

Thinking about how hard life is for my parents now! I felt uncomfortable thinking about this, so I vowed in my heart that I must let my parents live a good life in the future. This is

My vow to my parents.

The day's work is over like this. We will go home and live a normal life like this. We go home early today because today is Friday. My brother is going home today. He is in town.

He is in junior high school. He is in the third grade of junior high school this year and will take the high school entrance examination this year. He also started his vacation today.

"Mom, I'm back!" A voice sounded outside the door. This was a voice I was familiar with, a childish voice. This was my little brother's voice.

"Brother, you are back! Have you finished the high school entrance examination?" I said with concern.

"Ah! Brother, you're back! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Xiaoyuan said happily, with an indescribable look of excitement on his face. Maybe it's because he and I haven't seen each other for half a year!

"Yes! I came back very early! I took off my college entrance examination very early, so of course I went home early! Why don't you help my mother with the work!" I said with a bit of coquettishness, as if

Saying, 'Brother, look at me! How diligent I am'.

"Oh! Oh!... That's it! Then I have to help the family well." The younger brother said seriously.

I don’t know how my brother believed in me so much. Maybe he was conquered by my honest look? In fact, I don’t know that my image is the best image in my brother’s mind. I am a learner.

My grades are very good, I am also very kind to people, and I am very willing to help others, so my brother has always believed in me.

I haven't been to a real big city, nor to a place too far away. The farthest place I have been to is the place where I study, but it is still the county town where I am, and of course it is not a big city.

It’s a city. So I have this idea that during this vacation, I can go to the outside world and see the scenery of big cities.

I actually wanted to use this summer vacation to go out and earn some money, which I could use in college. I didn't want my parents to have to work so hard, so I came up with this idea.

After dinner, I expressed my thoughts, "Mom, Dad! I have another thing to tell you." I told them with a little embarrassment and fear.

"Oh? Xiaotian, what do you want to tell us? Tell us." Dad asked me with a smile, with a trace of doubt on his face.

"I, I want to go out this summer to see the outside world, and also make some money, which I can use in college." I said with embarrassment.

"Do you want to go out for a summer job? Do you know anyone outside?..." Dad and mom kept asking me questions like this. It seemed that they were reluctant to let me go out to do a summer job.

"Dad, Mom, don't you still believe in your son? I can take care of myself, so why don't you just let me go out and do summer work? Please!" I said unwillingly, hoping that they would agree to my promise.

.........

After a lot of hard work, I finally convinced them, and I decided to go to the provincial capital to see if I could find a summer job there. I decided to leave tomorrow.

I really couldn't sleep tonight because I was so nervous. It was the first time for me to go outside so far away by myself. I felt a little scared in my heart. At the same time, I also felt that I was afraid of big cities.

Desire. This is a kind of contradictory psychology. I really can’t understand why I am like this and why I have such thoughts. Maybe I have really grown up now! I am eighteen years old this year.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night. After this night, I will leave this village and leave my parents. How reluctant I am! How much I don’t want to leave my parents, but I know that sooner or later I will

Will leave here, because the baby of an eagle will grow up one day and fly into the blue sky sooner or later.

This may be a call from afar, or it may be destiny. My trip this time is a change in the trajectory of my life, which no one could have imagined.

This is a new beginning of the day. The sunshine is so bright today! The warm sunshine shines on my face, and I can’t help but reveal a smile. This is an excited smile, a kind of smile from

The smile inside.

That day at the station, my whole family came to see me off, "Xiaotian! You have to learn to take care of yourself when you are alone outside! If you are not used to being outside, just come back!" My parents said to me with concern,

While leading me into the waiting room of the station.

"Brother! You have to make more money when you go out! You must remember to buy one for me...remember our agreement." My brother said to me in a low voice.

"I know! I will take good care of myself, don't worry..." I told them seriously, not letting them worry about me, but my voice was a little trembling.

I was really reluctant to leave. People say parting is very sad. Now I really know what it feels like.

It's time to get on the bus. I really don't want to get on the bus, but now I can only make up my mind and say goodbye to my family like this: "Dad, Mom, you go back! I'm getting on the bus. Brother, you are at home."

Listen to your parents!" After saying this, I waved to them and got in the car, and I got on the car without looking back.

After getting to the car, I looked out the car window and could still see them. They were looking at the car I was sitting in, as if they were silently blessing me and wishing me a safe journey.

In the car, I was thinking about what I would do when I got to the city and how I could find a good place to live. I was troubled by these problems now, but because I didn’t sleep well last night, I felt it now.

I felt very sleepy and fell asleep in the car like this. I slept soundly.
