"Xiang Jin?!" After the last class on Saturday afternoon, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen had just come down from the teaching building, and then they heard someone calling her.
She raised her head and saw Zeng Qing waving cheerfully towards them downstairs in the girls' dormitory not far away.
Xiang Jin's eyes lit up, and he ran towards her quickly with a stack of books in his arms, "Why are you here?"
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time. Your junior high school ends much later than our elementary school," Zeng Qing was very happy to see her and hugged her arm and said.
Xiang Jin asked, "Isn't it time for you to go back on vacation after the fourth period this morning?"
Zeng Qing nodded, "Yes, that's right, but I'm waiting for you. I want to go back with you. It's been so long since I transferred to the rural elementary school, and I still haven't had the chance to come see you."
Xiang Jin nodded, "I went to the elementary school to look for you twice, but I didn't meet you every time. I heard from your classmates that you live at your aunt's house?"
Zeng Qing nodded, "Well, I live in my aunt's house. My aunt's house is at the head of Wangjiagou, which is less than two miles away from the street. I transferred to the rural elementary school relatively late, and I didn't even have the opportunity when I came.
I already had a dormitory, so I stayed at my aunt's house. My aunt's house is only about twenty minutes' walk away, which is not very far. The two times you came here, I went back to my aunt's house for dinner, so we just
Didn’t come across it.”
"Oh, is that right? You gave the grain to your aunt, so you didn't steam the rice?"
"Well, it's not steamed. My aunt's cousins have to go to and from school every day. Her mother-in-law cooks for them every day, so I stayed with them."
"Oh, I understand. Then you go back alone after evening study every day? Are you alone for morning study as well?" Xiang Jin asked again.
Zeng Qing said, "No, my aunt and her friends have several classmates of mine and classmates from the next class. I am with them every day. Don't worry, I am not alone."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then Yan Chen walked towards them and said to Xiang Jin, "Let's go upstairs to pack our things." After that, he hugged the book and left.
"oh!"
When he walked a little further, Zeng Qing pointed at Yan Chen's back and whispered to Xiang Jin, "I heard that he was in the same class as you, but I didn't expect him to be so cold?"
The corners of Xiang Jin's lips curled up into a smile, "He just has that kind of temper. You'll be fine if you get used to it."
"Yeah!" Zeng Qing nodded and said to Xiang Jin, "I'm going up to pack my things. Do you want to wait for me here for a while, or do you want to go up with me?"
Zeng Qing said, "I'd better go up with you. Since I'm here, I still want to know where you live, right?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Okay, let's go!"
Zeng Qing looked at the direction she was taking and said in surprise, "You don't live in the girls' dormitory? Isn't this the teachers' dormitory?"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Ah, this is indeed the teachers' dormitory. I don't live in the girls' dormitory. Actually, I didn't live in the girls' dormitory. I originally lived in the girls' dormitory, but because I don't have a relationship with a girl in our dormitory,
I had to deal with it, so I moved here later.”
"Are you living with a female teacher?" Zeng Qing asked.
Xiang Jin shook his head, "No, I live with Yan Chen and my cousin Yang Hui. The three of us live together."
"You three live together? I thought you were living in which teacher's house?" Zeng Qing said in surprise.
"No," Xiang Jin then explained to her, "This house was allocated to Director Zhao by the school, with one bedroom and three living rooms, but Director Zhao's family has a house in the town, and he usually lives in the town.
I don't live on campus, so this house is vacant.
Then Yan Chen transferred to our school, didn't he? Director Zhao's family seemed to have some relationship with Grandpa Zeng's family, so Director Zhao asked Yan Chen to live here.
But he couldn't live in those three rooms by himself, so after we got Director Zhao's consent, my cousin Yang Hui and I moved in with him. This made it easier for us to ask him
That’s the question.”
"Oh, that's it. How big is your room?" Zeng Qing nodded suddenly, and then asked again.
Xiang Jin shook his head, "It's not very big, just a bed and a set of desks and chairs like those we have in the classroom. But there is a balcony in my room, where I can dry my washed clothes."
.”
Zeng Qing imagined what her room looked like in her mind, and then said, "It feels so simple."
Xiang Jin nodded, "It's very simple, but it's nothing. I think it's pretty good and quiet. It's much quieter than in the girls' dormitory. Let me tell you, in the girls' dormitory, they often talk and talk.
It’s until 11 or 12 o’clock in the middle of the night, and there are still people in our dormitory who always light candles and read books. Alas, I can’t stand living there.”
Zeng Qing was surprised and said, "Isn't it right? There are still people in your dormitory who love to study so much?!"
Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, the girl I don't deal with has to light candles until eleven or twelve every night."
"So, is that why you don't deal with her?" Zeng Qing asked again.
Xiang Jin said, "That's not the reason. It's other reasons. Oh, it's hard to go into details."
Zeng Qing nodded, and Xiang Jin added, "But it's different here. It's quiet and clean. Everyone comes back at night and reads in their own room. If you want to read, you can close the door and no one will be affected.
Everyone can sleep whenever they want."
Zeng Qing nodded, "That's right, the same is true for me and my cousins. I live in the same house as my cousin-in-law, and my cousin and cousins live in the same house. We all like each other.
It doesn’t affect anyone, and I feel quite comfortable.”
Soon a few people went upstairs. Yan Chen walked in front and opened the door outside, and then went straight back to his room. After Xiang Jin and Zeng Qing entered, Zeng Qing looked around, looking around.
Looking around, Xiang Jin said, "Whatever you want, I'll go in and pack my things."
"Yeah, yeah!" After a while, she entered Xiang Jin's house and said to her, "The place you live in is indeed simple enough. Outside there is only a dining table, a few chairs, and a
Apart from the sofa, there is no other furniture."
Xiang Jin put a few books into his backpack and replied, "Director Zhao doesn't usually live here. What kind of furniture does he add?"
"That's true!"
At this moment, Xiang Jin and the others heard the sound of the door closing outside. Zeng Qing ran out to take a look, and then saw another boy coming in.
Yang Hui was startled when he saw her. Zeng Qing hurriedly introduced himself and said, "You are Xiang Jin's cousin. I, I am their neighbor in the same bay. My name is Zeng Qing. I am in the elementary school.
I'm studying in sixth grade, so I'm here to go back with them."
Yang Hui nodded, "I've seen you."
Zeng Qing laughed immediately, "Yeah, I seem to have seen you before, when you went to Xiang Jin's house."
Yang Hui said "Yeah", and Xiang Jin and Yan Chen came out of their room with their backpacks in hand. When Yang Hui saw it, he said, "Have you all packed it up?"
Both of them nodded, and then Yan Chen said, "Leave first?!"
"Well," Yang Hui responded as he stood at the door of his room, and then said to Xiang Jin, "You should pack up quickly and go back early. You are further away than us."
"Yeah, I know!"
"Don't forget to lock the door," Xiang Jin then explained.
"Yeah, I know."
As they were walking on the road, Zeng Qing suddenly said to Xiang Jin, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot."
"What's the matter?" Xiang Jin looked sideways at her.
Zeng Qing said, "Didn't I tell you before that Xiang Zhen and Xiang Qiang would also transfer to our rural elementary school to study?"
"Well, you said, what's wrong, he's in the same class with you?" But she went to look for her twice and didn't find him.
Zeng Qing shook his head and said, "No, they didn't transfer to a rural elementary school. It seems they are still studying in the county town."
"Not here?" Xiang Jin was surprised for a moment.
Zeng Qing nodded, "Well, wasn't Xu Heng dead? Last time, didn't Xiang Jiao go crazy and get angry at Xiang Xiang, and beat Xiang Xiang?
Then when Sun Shuiyun found out about this, he disagreed with letting Xiang Qian come back to study, for fear of suffering revenge from Xiang Jiao again.
Then, after Xiang Tao and Wang Yun heard that Xiang Jiao had been beaten up, they did not agree with Xiang Zhen coming back to study."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Wouldn't that old woman's dream of sitting on the street be shattered?"
Zeng Qing nodded and said, "Isn't it? People used to say that her two grandchildren would go back to the countryside to study, and then she would rent a house in the countryside to cook, wash and clothe them.
Yes, but people are only now
If you don't come back, now people in Wan Tou are getting slapped in the face, and now she has a dark face every day, which makes her look unpleasant to everyone, so when you go back, you'd better be more careful and don't go there.
Sometimes I encountered him and felt angry.
Although you are not afraid of her, you should try to avoid it if you can. After all, you only go back for one day, and you don’t even have enough time to get along with your family, so how can you waste it arguing with her? "
Xiang Jin nodded, "I know, don't worry, I generally don't like to quarrel with others. My time is precious. Do you know what our house is like now?"
Zeng Qing said, "I went back last Saturday and saw that your family was repairing the small house next to it, and then I saw that your mother and your grandparents were still leveling the courtyard dam..."
"Are my grandparents still there?" Xiang Jin stopped her.
"Well, here, I can see it clearly, but I also saw it from a distance. You also know that your family has a big dog. I'm scared, so I don't dare to get closer and take a look."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then asked, "Have you harvested the grain at home?"
"I don't know, but when I went back last week, it wasn't harvested yet. I don't know if it has been harvested this week. Your family's millet is earlier than ours. Maybe it has been harvested this week?"
Yan Chen said, "Don't you know everything when you go back?"
Xiang Jin nodded slightly, "That's true, but I feel that there are still a lot of things in our family? I don't know if my mother can handle this alone?"
Yan Chen joked, "If you worry so much, be careful not to grow taller."
Zeng Qing was surprised and said, "Isn't it true? Xiang Jin is already so tall, but he's still not tall?!"
Xiang Jin said, "I want to grow taller."
Zeng Qing complained, "How much taller do you want to grow? I feel like I am a dwarf in front of you now. No matter how tall you grow, I will be embarrassed to stand with you. Look at you now."
Almost a head taller than me."
Xiang Jin comforted her and said, "You will also grow taller. You may be the kind of person who does not grow quickly in the early stage but grows quickly in the later stage. I may be the kind of person who grows quickly in the early stage but grows slowly in the later stage.
.”
"Really?!" Zeng Qing looked at her suspiciously.
"Well, it's possible!"
Half an hour later, a few people returned to the bay, and Xiang Jin saw that the rice in their fields had been harvested, which made her feel relieved.
Then when she got home, she heard Aunt Liao say that her mother had taken Xiang Lan back to her parents' house today to help her uncles harvest rice. She would not be back until tomorrow, so Xiang Jin asked, "Xiang Lan today
Don’t you still have half a day of classes to attend?”
Aunt Liao said, "They have a holiday for the past two days. They said that their teacher's father passed away and they are making arrangements for the funeral."
"Oh, so, then my grandpa has gone back too?" Xiang Jin asked again.
"Your grandpa hasn't come back. In the past two days, your Dengwei dad and the others have been installing doors and windows for you. Your grandpa is there to help."
"Oh, okay, auntie, let me go to Huangye Bay to take a look?!" Xiang Jin put the bag down and then said to Aunt Liao.
Aunt Liao said, "Wait a moment, my meal is ready. You can bring the meal over to your grandpa."
"Oh," Xiang Jin followed Aunt Liao to the kitchen, and then asked, "Do you want Dad Dengwei and his family to bring him their meals?"
Aunt Liao opened the lid of the pot and poured rice into the thermos bucket, while telling her, "Don't worry, you dads, they have already installed the last door and window at noon today.
All you have to do is bring food to your grandpa and Hu Cai."
"Oh, good!"
Aunt Liao cooked bacon, cowpeas, dried rice and pickled cabbage, tofu and vermicelli soup at night. She filled two thermos buckets for Xiang Jin, one for rice and one for soup, and both buckets were filled to the brim.
, especially the rice bucket, which is packed to the brim.
Xiang Jin said, "Auntie, you are pretending so much, have my grandpa and Hu Cai finished eating?"
Aunt Liao smiled and said, "After eating, after eating, Hu Cai recently brought back a daughter-in-law, and it is estimated that she will give birth to a puppy soon."
"Ah? You have found a wife to protect your wealth?" Xiang Jin was surprised.
Aunt Liao nodded, "Ah, I don't know where I got it from. It looks just like it, tall and mighty. I told your mothers that day that when it gives birth to cubs in the future, I will bring one back and raise it."
.”
Xiang Jin agreed with Aunt Liao's idea, "Okay, okay. When we move there, you will be the only one here again. Having a dog at home will make it more lively. The key is that you can still
I’ll help you look at your home.”
Aunt Liao smiled and said, "That's right!"
Xiang Jin took the two thermos buckets from Aunt Liao and headed towards Huangye Bay.
But before she could get close, the money protector ran towards her with tail, then circled around her, and then kept sniffing her body.
Xiang Jin stopped and touched its head, "Hu Cai, I heard that you found a wife. It's rare that you have a wife and you haven't forgotten me as your master?"
"Woof, woof," two dog barks came out just as Xiang Jin finished speaking.
Xiang Jin raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a white and brown dog standing at the head of their yard looking towards them.
The dog is indeed as Aunt Liao said, tall and mighty, and a real bitch. "Guarantee, is she your wife? Well, she is indeed very beautiful!"
I heard that you are going to be a father. How about asking Aunt Liao to help you raise a cub? Aunt Liao is a very nice person and has cooked delicious food for you many times. She cooked all the meals for you today.
Yes, when the time comes, let her help you raise the cubs, and they will be fat and white for you."
As if Hu Cai understood what she was saying, he kept circling her and wagging his tail, as if in response to her, he agreed that Aunt Liao would help them raise their cubs.
Xiang Jin straightened up and then touched the dog's head, "Let's go, we will bring food to your wife!"
Xiang Jin came closer, and when she saw the dog's appearance clearly, she couldn't help but exclaimed to Hu Cai, "Hu Cai, you are so capable, you actually turned a Central Asian shepherd dog and came back as your wife?
Where did you find it? Ah?!"
Hu Cai bit her trouser leg and dragged her in front of the shepherd dog, "What are you doing? Are you introducing me to your wife? Okay, okay, don't hold me back, I'll go by myself!"
The guard loosened her trouser legs, and then ran to the sheepdog to be intimate with it.
This Central Asian Shepherd Dog is indeed as stated in the book, tall and calm in character, and can always maintain a high degree of vigilance to the external environment.
From the moment she saw it, the dog had been standing there looking at her, as if observing and scrutinizing her.
Xiang Jin and her grandfather came over and said, "This dog knows how to live. When Hu Cai brought it back, it looked at us so warily. It would only follow us slowly on the first, third or fourth day.
Close to the earth."
Xiang Jin nodded, "Dogs of this breed are born with this kind of temperament. They are calm and rational, but they are also very loyal. Grandpa, you should take good care of this dog."
Her grandfather nodded, and Xiang Jin handed the two thermos buckets to him. His grandfather took them, then turned around and placed the two thermos buckets on the stone table at the head of the courtyard, then opened them, and then picked them up.
He took the rice pail to the corner and poured two-thirds of the rice into the dog basin.
"Protect your wealth, Ah Hua, let's eat!"
As soon as the two dogs heard her grandfather's call, they immediately rushed over there.
Ahua? What an ugly name?! Xiang Jin couldn't help but his eyes flashed.
