Snap!
The chopsticks in Xie Ailian's hand fell.
She had been thinking about what Wang Zhaozhao hadn't said. When she asked him during dinner, Wang Zhaozhao told her, and that was how it ended.
"Old man..." She called Wang Dahai, "Hit me and see if I'm dreaming."
"Grandma, let me help you." Wang Zhaozhao immediately raised his hand and hit Xie Ailian on the arm.
Bang!
What a loud noise.
Bang!
Wang Zhaozhao was also hit by the backhand, and she cried out in pain, "Grandma, aren't you afraid of dreaming? Let me help you..."
"I need your help? You look so skinny, but how come you are so strong?" Xie Ailian felt pain.
"I'm just worried that you won't feel any pain."
"Stop talking nonsense to me, you..."
Xie Ailian pointed at Wang Zhaozhao and said, "You guys are amazing! You managed to keep such a big thing a secret."
"Every time I thought Fourth Uncle would tell you, but who knew he didn't." Wang Zhaozhao declared that she was innocent.
snort!
Xie Ailian didn't want to pay attention to her anymore and turned to ask Wang Dahai what he thought.
What can Wang Dahai think?
"Do you have any cured meat at home? Cured fish would be fine too. I'll go get a pot of wine from my fifth uncle later. Tomorrow morning, I'll get up as soon as the rooster crows, sit in front of my parents' graves, and offer a glass of wine to our ancestors..."
Xie Ailian: “……!”
"Miss Zhao, go too." Wang Dahai called Wang Zhaozhao's name again.
"Oh." If this was her grandfather's way of expressing his happiness, Wang Zhaozhao was willing to cooperate.
Xie Ailian looked at the grandfather and grandson and pursed her lips.
In fact, she wanted to say that she would wait for Wang Sibing to come back, but she held back and did not spoil Wang Dahai's fun.
Wang Dahai was not just talking. He went out after dinner and came back soon with a pot of wine.
The next morning, Wang Zhaozhao was called up at the first crow of the rooster. After washing up, he followed Wang Dahai out.
Wang Dahai asked Wang Zhaozhao to take a flashlight, but Wang Zhaozhao refused. The physical skill points she got from the system were now effective, and her eyesight became very good.
I got up before dawn to climb the mountain. The cool wind was refreshing.
Arriving at the graveyard, it was even worse.
"System, is my grandpa okay?" Wang Zhaozhao suddenly summoned the system.
It was not yet five o'clock, and her grandfather was sitting in front of her great-grandfather's grave, continuing to talk a lot.
She was assigned to pull out the grass on the grave.
"What could happen? Are you afraid of ghosts? Even if there are ghosts, won't your great-grandfather protect you?" The system felt that Wang Zhaozhao's question was unnecessary.
"Oh, I'm afraid my grandfather might go crazy with joy." Wang Zhaozhao said nonsense casually.
Could she say that in the darkest moment before dawn, she was pulling weeds from her great-grandfather's grave on the cemetery hill, and her little heart was beating uncontrollably?
Did her grandfather actually calculate the time? Was four or five in the morning the best time to come? Could she really see her great-grandparents and ancestors?
hiss……!
Wang Zhaozhao gasped and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Host, if you are afraid, just recite the Three Character Classic." The system gave advice.
"I'm not afraid! This is the ancestral grave of our Wang family. All of them are our Wang family's ancestors. I'm not afraid." Wang.Zhao came online.
Could she be afraid? No.
"Although we share the same ancestor, there are branches. If your branch is doing well, won't the others be jealous?"
"You dog system, do you really want to scare me to tears?"
"Oh hahahaha, nothing, that's all we're talking about."
The system laughed dryly twice, punished itself by putting itself in solitary confinement, and went into a small dark room.
Wang Zhaozhao hummed twice and said, "Okay!"
She was no longer afraid of being "talked to" like this.
Because people would visit their ancestors' graves every Qingming Festival, there wasn't much grass to pull. But this morning, her knees were burning with pain.
At half past five, the darkness began to fade away little by little. When the sun rose, Wang Zhaozhao had already followed Wang Dahai down the mountain and returned to the village.
Along the way, they would meet some people who were working early in the morning. Others were curious about why the grandfather and grandson came down from the mountain so early in the morning. Wang Dahai would answer, "Didn't Zhao girl study for two years and graduate from elementary school? She's finished her exams and is going to the grave to pay her respects."
“……!”
We walked like this all the way back home.
It happened that Wang Erbing was planning to go to work on his private plot, and he met Wang Dahai head-on. He asked Wang Dahai why he came back so early in the morning, and Wang Dahai replied in the same way.
Wang Erbing: “……!”
Others who happened to be busy in the yard: “……!”
"She's just a little girl, and she will belong to someone else's family in the future." Shi Haiyan couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.
Seeing Wang Baojia and Wang Weiguo, who were reading at the door, looking over, she smiled awkwardly and hurried into the kitchen.
The child will be one year older in a year and will be more sensible. She is very happy, but there is also something that makes her depressed, that is, she likes to "control" her.
As soon as Wang Zhaozhao came back, he changed his pants and shoes.
My knees were dirty, and my trouser legs and shoes were wet with dew.
Since half a cured fish and a piece of cured meat were both taken out, Xie Ailian cut a piece of each. She steamed some of the cured fish in the morning and kept the cured meat to stir-fry at noon.
Not only Wang Zhaozhao, but also Shi Haiyan and others found that Xie Ailian was becoming more and more willing to eat.
"Sister Zhao, you're so happy that you can have the holiday so many days in advance!" Wang Baojia said sourly to Wang Zhaozhao as he set out for school.
Wang Zhaozhao rolled her eyes at him.
In the morning, she was notified by a loudspeaker to go to school.
"What's the matter? Are the results out?" Xie Ailian had not worked since she went to the county town. She was boiling diapers at the moment. When she heard the radio calling Wang Zhaozhao to go to school, she immediately asked Wang Zhaozhao.
"Not that fast?" Wang Zhaozhao shook her head. She didn't know either.
"Go to the mountain to find your grandfather and ask him to go with you."
"No, I can go by myself. It's not far and I'm familiar with the road."
The weather was very hot, and the time it took her to climb the mountain to find her grandfather was enough for her to walk to school. Wang Zhaozhao thought she could just go directly to school.
Xie Ailian disagreed, "Then you can go in the afternoon. The broadcast didn't say you should go to school right away."
Wang Zhaozhao thought about it and agreed.
After lunch, they took a break. Before the whistle for work sounded, Wang Dahai first asked Chen Changlin for leave. Chen Changlin agreed with a numb look on his face.
So when everyone gathered to start work, Wang Dahai took Wang Zhaozhao to the commune primary school.
Each of them wore a straw hat.
The straw hat was bought by Wang Sibing for Qiao Li after they got married last year, and he also bought one for themselves. Wang Zhaozhao, the student, didn't have one, so she wore the one Qiao Li wore.
When I got to school, my forehead was covered in sweat.
After greeting the security guard, they went straight to the principal's office.
"Zhao Zhao..."
Song Yanni was there too, along with an old woman.
Wang Zhaozhao waved to her and called Principal Liu, who asked them to sit down.
When sitting down, Wang Zhaozhao should have wondered, could it be about the previous submission she and Song Yanni had made?
It seems that there is no need to do this whether the manuscript fee is paid or the manuscript is rejected. Why not call them over?
