Be a good girl
This time she learned her lesson and did not go early. Instead, she arranged everything at home before slowly walking towards her uncle's house. It was probably around nine o'clock when she arrived, and the sun had already started to rise.
Before Xu Nian entered, he heard voices in the yard. The voices were still a little hoarse and dry, but the speech was clear and logical. It should be just like his personality, his life was slow but he lived it clearly.
"Grandpa, I'm here to see you, Grandpa, Grandpa."
Xu Nian thought that a little sweetheart like me cannot be scolded all the time, so I learned from the last lesson and this time I called him "Master" first and gave him a few more times.
"I thought who is coming, just come, why are you shouting so loudly!" said Xu Xiuman.
Xu Nian didn't care what he said, he just pretended to be polite, then greeted Xu Hongqi warmly, "Brother Hongqi, you're here. You must be tired from walking on the road!"
He said to Xu Fengkai in a little adult manner, "Brother, why don't you pour some water for Brother Hongqi? He invited us to dinner last time." Without waiting for Xu Fengkai to move, he went to the kitchen and filled a bowl of water from the jar.
He handed it to Xu Hongqi, "Brother Hongqi, don't blame me for not pouring you tea. I don't think we have any at home."
After saying this, she gave Xu Hongqi an embarrassed smile, acting as if she was not Xu Fengkai's classmate but rather her classmate.
Xu Xiuman and Xu Fengkai were both speechless about Xu Nian, but they still smiled and said that it was his fault for forgetting to pour water for the child.
Xu Hongqi was a little touched, because he hadn't felt such a formal hospitality and such generosity towards him for a long time.
He was deeply impressed by Xu Nian, a pretty girl with a sweet mouth and good talkativeness, but sometimes she was very strange. The girl always gave him the feeling that he was being treated deliberately.
He didn't think he could be tricked by a kid who was just about to enter junior high school, so he was just alerted reflexively and didn't take it too seriously.
After Grandpa Xu chatted with Xu Hongqi for a while, he said, "I won't disturb you from studying. You guys review well. I'll go out for a walk."
Seeing Xu Nian still huddled close to the other child, he called out, "Niannian, don't stay here anymore. Go play somewhere else if you have nothing to do."
Xu Nian is very......
She felt like she was always encountering "stumbling blocks" and pouted unconsciously, "Grandpa, why do you always look at me with such an old eye? I can't study with you here!"
An expression that said, "If you say that again, I'll be very unhappy."
Seeing his sister like this, Xu Fengkai was afraid that Xu Hongqi would feel uncomfortable, so he said to his grandfather: "Why don't you let Nian Nian stay here? She is very obedient."
Xu Xiuman actually wanted Xu Nian to learn from others, so he walked up the stairs and said, "Okay, remember to be obedient and don't make trouble."
Xu Nian quickly made the promise and pushed her grandfather to get out quickly.
After her grandfather left, she entered Xu Fengkai's room and found that both of them had taken the books and papers and started reading.
Xu Hongqi was actually a little tired. He had been working hard in recent days and gave his cents to others in exchange for some food.
Last night I went to the mountains in the afternoon, climbed some trees and picked some wild fruits. I didn't go too far because I was afraid something might happen. This morning I walked for a long time, so I don't feel very energetic.
Xu Fengkai's house is considered to be the better one in the family, but it is still a bit stuffy inside and too sunny outside. Xu Nian feels that it is not as cool as her house.
While the other two were studying, she sometimes wanted to talk but was too embarrassed to speak. However, she would feel uneasy if she left, and it would be boring for her to stay alone.
So in the afternoon, I borrowed a novel from her third brother. It was basically a story about the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and she was quite willing to read it.
The weather was getting hotter as time went on. She looked up at Xu Hongqi and found beads of sweat on his face. Not to mention her cousin, who was completely unresponsive to the heat.
Finally, she had no other choice but to go outside to wash her face. She then went to the door to see if there were any peddlers. In the past few days, her eldest nephew had been keeping watch for her, and if he saw any peddlers, he would go and tip off Xu Nian.
Xu Nian bought two ice creams, one for herself and one for her three children. The children had weak stomachs, so she let them eat them secretly. Of course, she didn't dare let them eat too much.
After waiting for a long time, Xu Nian still didn't see her shadow on the village street, so he could only go back disappointed. Xu Fengkai saw Xu Nian coming in, but ignored her and buried himself in his book again.
This exam is quite important. If you fail, you can't go to high school. If you can't go to high school, it's very difficult for a rural kid to get a good job, unless you go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. But there are only a few places, and I don't know when it will be whose turn.
Xu Nianshu couldn't concentrate on reading and fell asleep on the bed in a daze. Xu Hongqi went to get some water and saw Xu Nian wearing a red gauze skirt and sleeping in a crooked position, which was not only a little funny.
He thought the girl would chatter non-stop with them, but in fact she was very quiet and did not disturb them.
Sometimes he thought it would be nice to have a younger sister like her, but then he came to his senses and realized that if she was born to suffer like him, it would be best if she didn't have one. So he stopped reading and continued to sort out his knowledge framework after drinking some water.
Xu Nian was sleeping in a daze, and she felt like she was dreaming about the sound of someone riding a bicycle shouting to buy popsicles. The dream was so real that she even felt like she heard the sound of a bicycle bell ringing, and she woke up all of a sudden.
I rubbed my eyes to wake up, and seemed to hear a "ding-ling-ling" sound in my ears, and ran outside immediately.
This scared Xu Fengkai and made Xu Hongqi frown slightly.
"That girl is sometimes impetuous, don't mind her." Xu Fengkai said a little embarrassedly.
Xu Hongqi replied, "This is very free and very good," and it seemed that he was talking to himself.
Xu Nian ran out of the yard and looked around, but didn't see the peddler. He really thought he had heard it wrong, until he saw a child in the village walking back with a popsicle in his mouth, and then he was sure that it was really a popsicle.
There weren't many people around at this time, most of them were working, with a few children here and there. The peddler rode his bicycle closer and recognized Xu Nian. "It's you again, little girl."
Xu Nian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Yes, I'm here to take care of your business again!"
"Then I can't sell you too much today. I just sold a lot from the fields." The other person answered with a smile.
Xu Nian thought that it was impossible for her to be a big spender every day, so she chose three popsicles. She liked popsicles because they were thirst-quenching and not greasy. But she accidentally glanced at the ice cream in the foam box, and after thinking about it, she bought two red bean popsicles and a milk ice cream.
She felt too hot and opened a popsicle and started sucking on it before she even got home. She instantly felt her body temperature drop and she felt much more comfortable.
After walking home happily, he casually gave his cousin a popsicle, and then took out the cream ice cream to show Xu Hongqi as a treasure.
Xu Hongqi saw that the little girl's face was a little red from the sun, but her mouth was moistened by the ice from the popsicle. She looked at him with sparkling eyes. As she spoke, he even felt a cool air coming over him.
Seeing the ice cream handed to him, Xu Hongqi did not reach out for it. He felt that no matter how poor he was, it would not be appropriate for him to take the expensive ice cream and let the other two people eat popsicles.
So he said to Xu Nian, "You eat it, I don't like it."
Xu Niancai didn't believe it, "Brother Hongqi, take it quickly. My hands are sore from passing it around. I bought it especially for you."
Xu Fengkai has already eaten it. He feels very happy recently. He has eaten the free popsicles twice in a row. Seeing that his sister is also very nice to his classmates, he is particularly satisfied with Xu Nian.
Following the advice with a smile, "Hongqi, this is a gift from my sister. Take it. It's a bit hot today."
Seeing that both the brother and sister said so, Xu Hongqi finally took it over.
The milk ice cream tastes cool and sweet in the mouth, as if it can make people forget their worries. The two prospective candidates put down their books temporarily and held popsicles to enjoy this rare moment of relaxation.
Xu Nian said to Xu Hongqi with a smile on her face, "Brother Hongqi, I will be your junior by then. The three of us will be in the same school. You have to protect me."
Xu Fengkai quickly replied, "Are you going to school or fighting? I still have to protect you."
"Even eating can't stop your mouth. I'm just in case, understand?"
Then he turned to Xu Hongqi and said, "Brother Hongqi is the best. He doesn't talk so much, unlike you who are so talkative."
Seeing his sister flattering others, Xu Fengkai felt a little sad and snorted to cover it up.
"Brother Hongqi, will you help me?" Xu Nian blinked and looked at Xu Hongqi pitifully and cutely.
"If you need help, I will definitely help."
After saying that, Xu Nian looked very excited, which made Xu Hongqi confused.
Xu Nian glanced at her cousin proudly, and couldn't help thinking that you mortals would never understand my deep meaning. She just felt that the dime ice cream was worth it...
If you ask students when time flies the fastest, it's definitely before exams. Xu Fengkai muttered, "I haven't studied much yet, and it's already evening. Time really flies."
Xu Nian also stretched. Only Xu Hongqi was still looking at the paper carefully. Seeing that it was Xu Fengkai's, he looked very clean and respectful. Sometimes Xu Nian felt confused and wondered if he had done the right thing.
After everyone from her uncle's family came back, Xu Nian saw that her aunt and cousin didn't look very good. For some reason, she suddenly felt that it was related to Xu Hongqi. After all, according to the law of villains, bad things happened everywhere.
The reason why Wang Tiantian and Xu Mai were unhappy was not for anything else, but because someone at work in the afternoon knew that their son's classmate was coming to stay at home for two days, so they started chatting about it.
When people heard her say that the child was a good student and had good character, they were very happy that their son could interact with such a classmate. However, they did not expect that several women who were working nearby would stop working when no one was watching, put their farm tools on the ground, sit on the poles, and start talking about what they knew.
Only then did she realize that whether the child was good at studying was another matter, but Keqin, although it is not allowed to talk about this in the new China, most people still feel this way in their hearts even though they don't say it.
He also said that the child was still living with a difficult relative, and he advised her not to let her son get too close to the child.
This made Wang Tiantian unhappy and uneasy, so she discussed with her daughter and asked her to think of a way to let the person leave on their own, otherwise she would chase him away. She claimed to be an accountant's daughter-in-law and could not do such a thing for the time being.
The two of them didn't have any good ideas for the moment, so they pretended to dislike Xu Hongqi, but they didn't say it out loud, and it showed on their faces. They were afraid of affecting Xu Fengkai's mood, so they behaved in a very two-faced manner, which made Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu a little angry.
Xu Nian returned home feeling worried. When his father saw her, he thought she was not feeling well. "Niannian, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"
Xu Nian looked at her father, shook her head with a bitter face. She was not feeling unwell, but was afraid of losing contact with "Xu Hongqi". No one would understand.
This made Xu's father quite puzzled, and Xu Nian felt anxious because she didn't say anything. She really didn't expect that just when she had made some progress with Xu Hongqi, she felt that it was all over.
Hesitantly, he told Father Xu what happened today, and then asked, "Dad, how come Auntie changed so quickly?"
Father Xu couldn't answer either: "Why don't you ask your mother about it?"
Xu Nian thought this was a good idea, so she left her father and went to find her mother.
