good old days

What happened in the alley was unknown to the family of four who were already lying on the train's sleeper berth.

After spending more than [-] yuan on the ticket, Jiang Xinyu and Chen Yi were not stingy about eating hot meals and dishes on the train.

Wang Sumei had known for a long time that her son and daughter-in-law were good spenders. Although she wanted to save as much as possible, she still held back.

Speaking of which, I came here at about the same time last year. A year has passed in a blink of an eye. When I think of returning to the village again, it feels a bit like returning to my hometown in glory.

After traveling all the way to the commune, a few people went to Ding Changhai's place first.

Chen Yi planned to borrow two bicycles, otherwise it would not be easy to walk back with the things.

We haven’t seen each other for a year, so we were reminiscing about old times. Jiang Xinyu divided the little book, candy, and snacks among others. Zhao Ying was as happy as anything, and kept talking to Jiang Xinyu, praising little Jiang Yan to the best of his ability. of.

...

"We happen to have a pedal tricycle at home. You ride back first and leave while it's still light. You have to pack it up when you get home in the evening."

Ding Changhai brought out a bag of skinned frogs and a fan of bacon ribs from the house to Wang Sumei, "Aunt, you're welcome, this is for you. This pig is raised by my second aunt's family at no cost."

The couple sent the family away, and Zhao Ying said with envy: "Look at Chen Yima, she is completely different from a year ago. She is just like the people in the city. The water and soil in the capital are for nourishing people."

In the past, Aunt Wang had dark skin and dry lines on her face. She looked like a rural woman. However, she has changed a lot in the past year. Her face still seems to be the same, but she looks much younger and more beautiful.

You can buy new clothes, but the condition of your skin and the whole person cannot be changed by a pair of clothes.

As for Jiang Xinyu, after giving birth to a child, it was the same as before. Her face was still like a flower. She looked prettier than other girls in a simple white shirt and black pants.Zhao Ying always felt that Jiang Xinyu was different from other lesbians, maybe because she was educated.

Ding Changhai was happy in his heart. He didn't say why Chen Yi came to his home every time, but he was happy when he came to his home first after returning to his hometown twice in a row.

Seeing his wife's envy, he said: "Our life is not bad. I have stopped you from buying whatever clothes you want to wear? It's a pity that the way you dress is not fashionable."

Zhao Ying stretched out her hand and pinched him, "You look like Lai Sun, how dare you think I'm not fashionable?"

"We don't have the ability to go to college. From now on, our sons and daughters must study hard. You can't imitate your elder brother and prevent your daughters from going to school."

Ding Changhai: "Do you still need to say this?"

I was riding a tricycle on a patchy road in the countryside, and my butt hurt from being bumped while sitting on it.

Jiang Xinyu is quite curious about her son. He doesn't cry when riding on the train. He stretches his head to look out of the window every day. He still doesn't cry when riding a tricycle and looks around curiously.

Hurrying slowly, they arrived at the entrance of the village before dark. The car turned around and saw that the courtyard door of Chen Xiuyun's house was wide open. They saw Jiang Laosan sitting at the door, sharpening his sickle.

Jiang Xinyu was wary: "Master, what are you doing here?" What are you trying to do by grinding the sickle?
Old Man Jiang saw four people as soon as he raised his head. As for Wang Sumei, he stared at her for more than ten seconds before he was sure that this was Widow Wang from their village.

He stood up excitedly and said, "Hey, my granddaughter and grandson-in-law, who are admitted to Huaqing, are back from the capital. Come on, come on, come on, come into the hospital. Your mother has gone to pick vegetables in the fields."

Old Man Jiang's strange enthusiasm made Jiang Xinyu silent.We haven't seen each other in less than two years, and old man Jiang already thinks so highly of her?
Did this old guy take stimulants?I still remember that not long after she arrived, this old guy chased and beat her with a stick.

"Mom Chen Yi, don't go back to clean up tonight. You guys will stay at home today and go back to clean up early tomorrow morning. There are still two fish in the house. Let me show you my skills."

Wang Sumei looked at him leading the way and thought this was Lao Jiangtou's own home.

She raised her eyes and said, "Are you staying here now?"

Old Man Jiang puffed up his chest proudly, "Isn't that right? Xinyu's mother is filial and didn't want me, an old man, to be alone, so she took me here to live. She usually lives in a commune school, so I can still give her money when I live here. I raise pigs, feed chickens, and take care of the house. I clean the whole yard and take care of the vegetables in the private plot."

Jiang Xinyu only dared to believe half of what Old Man Jiang said. After all, this was an old man who dared to use 500 cents to do something big for [-] yuan. He talked and acted as if he was drunk and walked.

She knew how much her mother was annoyed by this old man, so why would she invite this old man back to live in the hospital?
It was so wet that she couldn't believe it.

"Auntie, sister, brother-in-law, you are back."

The frame in Jiang Xiaochuan's hand was full of pigweed, and his head was sweating.

Jiang Xinyu glanced at Old Jiang, and she knew there was substance in his words.He is still working, let Xiaochuan do all the work.

Ogawa is much taller than when he left last year.

When Chen Xiuyun came back with the vegetables, a crowd of people had gathered in the courtyard. Seeing that her grandson could stand up and walk a few steps, she felt as if she was curious when she picked him up.

Old Man Jiang's face was glowing in the crowd, and he looked like he was drunk.

"This is my promising grandson-in-law Chen Yi and granddaughter Jiang Xinyu. They are both college students from Huaqing. None of the daughters of my family are as promising as my elders in this country. My great-grandson is more talented than other children. He looks smart. He will definitely follow his parents and get into a good university..."

The introduction was as if the villagers had never seen Jiang Xinyu and Chen Yi before, but the big guys were very considerate and talked enthusiastically about them.

Jiang Xinyu didn't want to listen to his bragging, "Master, you didn't want to show us your skills. We, the meat, were given by others and you used them to make meat."

It is still not easy to eat meat in the village. Old Man Jiang curled his lips when he saw the frogs, and his eyes lit up when he saw the cured pork ribs.

"Okay, okay, I'll make it for you. Let's have a few drinks tonight..."

Chen Xiuyun really trusted him with the kitchen.

She wasn't afraid of Old Man Jiang stealing the little food. Who would he steal it for?Even if he eats secretly, how much can he eat secretly?He's an old man and doesn't have a big appetite.

On weekdays, when she was at school, Old Jiang did the most work on the pigs, chickens and private plots in the courtyard. Ma Meili and his wife also helped out. It can be said that ever since Jiang Laosan and his family squatted on the fence, Old Jiang's family has been busy again. There was no one left to upset her.When she returned to the village, there was really nothing that bothered her except that there were so many people introducing her to her and they were very difficult to deal with.

She is the mother of three college student daughters. She is a very famous junior high school teacher not only in the village, but also in the commune junior high school.

She didn't know whether other teachers' jobs were secure or not. Anyway, her job was extremely secure, and schools in the county and city still wanted her to go.
