Chapter 28 You are like a family

All banquets in the world come to an end. No matter whether we got along harmoniously or not, once the college entrance examination is over, everyone goes back to his own home and finds his own mother.

Du Miaoshu lives in the county town. Her parents went to school to pick up their children. Before leaving, classmate Du hugged little classmate Le and complained about the pain of parting with tears and runny noses. She was pushed and pushed by classmate Le. Push it to Du's father and Du's mother to take it away.

After spending her last night at school peacefully, Leyun got up early the next morning, packed her luggage, and left school to go home.

There was no one to say goodbye and no one to accompany her. She left so quietly, just like when she went to the school to report on her own. There was no sadness or reluctance. It was a good thing in the past three years. , bad experiences, good or bad, are all in the past, and people should look forward.

She originally wanted to visit Grandpa Li, but she had too much luggage and it was inconvenient to carry, so she decided to go home first. Of course, she did not forget to call to express her Dragon Boat Festival greetings.

Fang County has jurisdiction over 12 towns and 7 townships. Mr. Le was born in the most remote Jiudao Township. The earliest long-distance bus from the county to Jiudao leaves at 8 o'clock. If you can't make it in time, Then she had to wait for the nine-thirty train. Leyun got up before seven o'clock and arrived at the bus station before seven-thirty. She bought the ticket and then went to have breakfast and wait until o'clock to get on the bus.

There are more than thirty students from the same town who are in their senior year in several high schools in the county. In the morning, there were also people like Le Yun who were catching the early train. When Le Yun returned to the car, she found that Zhang Jing was also catching the same train. When I got home, fortunately, one sat in the front and the other sat in the back, so there was no overlap.

Jiudao is more than 150 kilometers away from the county seat. The car shook for more than three hours and it was nearly 11:30 before we arrived in the countryside.

June 9th, Dragon Boat Festival.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival and one of the most traditional solar terms in rural areas. Every household celebrates the festival, and the air is filled with the scent of rice dumplings and mugwort and calamus.

The car parked in an open space in the countryside. Le Yun didn’t want to meet Zhang Jing, so she got off the car through the front door. She had a tow box, a large woven bag, and a backpack with washing machine. The buckets of supplies were all stuffed to the brim, making it inconvenient to carry them in and out of the car, so I had to carry them in two steps.

"Lele, Lele-" Classmate Le picked up a large woven duffel bag and turned around to drag the suitcase. A dark-skinned woman in her thirties drove a car that was most suitable for the elderly. The electric tricycle that was used for people's transportation came in front of the car and braked to the ground while shouting.

Hearing a familiar voice, Leyun, who had just stepped on the car door step, pulled back and looked over: "Aunt Feng, are you still going out today?"

The woman named "Aunt Feng" by Le Xiao's classmate is her neighbor. Her real name is Zhou Qiufeng. There are two brothers in the family. Brother Zhou and Le's father are the same age. They grew up together.Young, Zhou Qiufeng is three years younger than her brother. She got married at the age of twenty-four. Because she had no children after many years of marriage, the couple's relationship broke up, and they divorced and returned to her parents' home. The younger generations in the village usually call her Aunt Feng or Aunt Fengzi.

Zhou Qiufeng is 1.57 meters tall. Her skin is tanned due to years of labor. Her hair is pulled into a bun with a hairnet. She wears black cropped pants and a short-sleeved casual shirt. Her whole body is filled with healthy beauty.

Every fair day, she often goes to the street to set up a stall selling home-grown side dishes or seasonal farm products. She is always generous in doing business, cheerful and cheerful, and she doesn’t like to worry about things. The business is very good, and I usually close my stall earlier than others every time I go out.

Zhang Jing got out of the car, heard Zhou Qiufeng’s shouting, looked towards the front of the car, and turned around angrily. Zhou Qiufeng’s wife is from the Zhang family, but the Zhou family would rather be friends with the Le family. When dealing with her family, she did not dare to challenge Zhou Qiufeng, because the latter was not a fuel-efficient lamp. If someone was in a hurry, he would be very arrogant and aggressive.

"I came to sell some calamus, mugwort, and mugwort today. I just closed the stall, so I stopped by to see if you have returned. Is there anything else that has not been moved down?" Zhou Qiufeng walked to the car door in three steps. Just run to the car.

There are few people in the countryside. Unlike the city which is bustling every day, the streets are full of goods only on the fair day. March, June and September are the fair days in Jiudao Township, and the Dragon Boat Festival is the fair day.

During the Dragon Boat Festival in rural areas, there are eccentric auspicious objects of calamus, mugwort, and peach branches tied up at the door. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, many people pick calamus, mugwort, and tie them into bundles to sell.

Le Yun smiled with her eyes shining brightly. She didn’t believe that Aunt Feng was just closing the stall now. Aunt Feng was waiting for the bus to arrive at the station to take her back “by the way”.

The conductor runs the Jiudao Line all year round and knows Dele’s little classmate. He handed Zhou Qiufeng the trolley suitcase and bucket that she had not moved.

Zhou Qiufeng got out of the car with the things, carried them back to the tricycle and put them away, then quickly went to grab the large woven luggage bag Le Yun was about to carry: "Things are so heavy, how can you be so thin? I moved back."

"Aunt Feng, I'm not that weak." Le Yun followed, put her luggage bag away, and climbed into the tricycle compartment with her hands and feet.

Zhou Qiufeng drove back to their home - Meizijing Village in a hurry. As for Zhang Jing, she saw it, but she selectively pretended not to see it, so she would not take Zhang Jing away just because she was on the way. Pick it back up.

Meizijing Village, sometimes referred to as Mei Village, is a natural village among the four villages under the direct jurisdiction of the township. It is located on the edge of the township and has a total population of about 500.

Everyone wanted to rush home to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. The market had dispersed early that day, and there were not many people on the street. The vendors were also closing their stalls and preparing to go home, so the road was not blocked.

The electric tricycle beeped across the street, turned into the main alley and crossed the alley, and made many twists and turns.Wandering back to Plum Village.

The Le family lived in the east of the village. Zhou Qiufeng drove a tricycle and drove straight to the east along the cement hardened road in the village. As soon as he reached the center of the village, he met Zhang Jing’s mother, Sister-in-law Wu, driving an electric motorcycle. When they were giving way to each other, Sister-in-law Wu spoke loudly: "Qiufeng, you went to pick up Lele again. Don't talk about others, even I almost thought you were a family."

"What did Sister-in-law say? Speaking of which, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It doesn’t matter if I go to the street to sell goods and take Xiao Lele with me. I didn’t see your Zhang Jing. If I did, I would bring her back. Anyway, the cart is empty when I come back. I just want to bring one or two. A child will not tire anyone."

Wu's sister-in-law opened her mouth to say mean things. Zhou Qiufeng felt unhappy and immediately retorted.

"Hey, didn't you see my little Jing? She saw you and just called me to pick her up." Sister-in-law Wu didn't get the favor and immediately changed her mind
< br />The subtext is: you are telling lies with your eyes open.

"Why didn't I see anyone?" Zhou Qiufeng said as if she had an epiphany: "Hey, Sister-in-law Wu, your Zhang Jing is also true. She and Lele don't get along well, why don't they even look at me? , if you don’t want to call me, you can just bring me back with you, and there is no need for you to run away more, Sister-in-law Wu.”

In the end, this has become his own child, right? Sister-in-law Wu was choked to the point of being speechless, and she drove the scooter to pick up the child.
