Chapter 181 Sending Students
Mother Zhao waved her hands quickly, "No, no, no, why do I need your money? In fact, I have already planned to renovate the house. Your father and your eldest brother have also made some money in the past two years. We plan to renovate it before the New Year."
"If we can't build a two-story building, we can at least build a one-story bungalow. When you come back with your wife, they can accommodate you."
"Your second brother also has this plan, but his house has only been built a few years ago, so he is not in a hurry."
Zhao Dalong still wanted to fight for it, "Mom, I have saved some money outside, and I will pay the majority of the money for renovating the house. Dad and the others have worked hard too, we can't just let them do all the work."
Mother Zhao smiled, her eyes full of relief: "I am content that you have this in mind. It is not easy for you out there either. You have to save money for yourself. You will need money to support yourself and raise your children in the future."
"Then, if I really don't have enough money, I can borrow from you."
At this point, Zhao Dalong had no choice but to nod in agreement. In fact, he could sense that his family was still a little nervous and awkward with him, and actually treated him more like a precious guest.
Zhao Dalong sighed in his heart, it was already very good like this, after all, there was a gap of more than ten years of affection between them, it couldn't be made up overnight.
Late at night, Zhao Dalong lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. The old house had poor sound insulation, and he heard Zhao's father and mother sighing softly in the next room.
Father Zhao said, "My child has been away from home for so long, I don't know how much hardship he has endured."
Zhao's mother choked up and said, "We didn't take good care of him."
"Okay, stop crying so late at night. Everything will be fine once the baby is back."
"Okay, I won't cry anymore. I'm happy."
"Go to sleep, go to sleep."
Zhao Dalong felt mixed emotions and it took him a long time to fall asleep.
The next day, before dawn, Lin Jianyan heard the sound of a rooster crowing. He was a little confused in his daze. Where did the rooster come from?
Then I heard Aunt Zhao's voice: "Go, go, go, why are you yelling? Why don't you yell so early in the past? If you yell again, I'll kill you and eat your meat!"
The chickens fluttered around for a while, and probably Aunt Zhao drove them into the chicken coop, and the chickens' crows were no longer heard afterwards.
It was quiet, and Lin Jianyan fell asleep again. When he woke up again, it was already bright outside.
He got up and walked out. Aunt Zhao was washing clothes in the yard. Seeing him get up, she asked happily, "Did you get enough sleep? It's still early now. If you're sleepy, go back to sleep for a while."
Lin Jianyan looked at her watch. It was almost eight o'clock. "No, thank you, ma'am."
Aunt Zhao stood up and wiped the water stains on her hands. "You must be hungry. There's rice in the pot from this morning. It's been warmed up. I'll serve it to you."
Breakfast consisted of white flour steamed buns, two kinds of cornmeal steamed buns, corn porridge, and two dishes.
Lin Jianyan sat on a small stool, took a bite of the cornmeal steamed bun, and squinted her eyes at the fragrance. She thought of something and asked, "Auntie, where is the person who came with me yesterday?"
"Oh, you mean David? He went out for a run. He said he has to train every day. This kid gets up early. He gets up when the rooster crows. It's still dark at that time."
As he was talking, David came back from jogging outside. He was wearing a black T-shirt that was soaked with sweat, showing off his good figure.
Lin Jianyan called David, "Have you eaten? Do you want to eat more?"
David shook his head: "Thank you, Mr. Lin, I've already eaten."
"Okay, go wash up, and we'll go find Dalong later."
"yes."
Aunt Zhao looked at David's back as he left and asked in confusion, "Ah Yan, David treats you like a leader. Is he your subordinate?"
Lin Jianyan smiled and said, "I guess so. He is my bodyguard."
Aunt Zhao was shocked and exclaimed, "A bodyguard? My goodness, what kind of identity does this person have? Even the leaders in their county don't have bodyguards with them. The person who has bodyguards around him must be a very important person."
After dinner, Lin Jianyan took David to find Zhao Dalong. Yesterday, because it was night, I couldn't see the whole village clearly. Now in the daylight, the village looks very simple.
The houses are arranged in an orderly manner. It is dinner time and smoke rises from most of the houses, exuding warmth and tranquility.
When the two arrived at Zhao Dalong's house, their door was not closed but open, so they did not knock on the door and walked into the yard.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Zhao's mother helping Zhao Cuicui tidy up, muttering to herself, "Look at you, it's so hard for you to get up early, and you're so slow even when eating. Your aunt Juan'er is almost late because she's waiting for you, and you're still slow..."
Zhao Dalong chewed a steamed bun and said vaguely, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll drive them there later. I won't be late."
Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother glared at him and said, "Just get used to them."
While they were talking, they saw Lin Jianyan and his friends coming and hurried to say hello.
Mother Zhao put the small schoolbag she bought yesterday on Zhao Cuicui's back and said quickly, "Ah Yan, have you two eaten yet? There's still some rice in the pot. Auntie will serve it for you."
Lin said: "No, thank you, ma'am, we have already eaten at the village chief's house."
Mother Zhao finally helped Zhao Cuicui tidy up and patted her little butt. "Okay, go and call your aunt and brother to go to school together."
Zhao Cuicui ran away hopping like a happy little bird.
Seeing this, Zhao Dalong quickly stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth and said, "Mom, wait a moment, let me finish this meal first."
Seeing him wolfing down his food, Lin Jianyan was afraid that he would choke. "Why don't you not go? I'll take you there."
Zhao Cuicui ran over and shouted happily, "Okay, let the handsome brother take it."
Mother Zhao glared at Zhao Cuicui in disapproval, then turned to Lin Jianyan and said with a smile, "How can I let you go? This is too much trouble."
Lin Jianyan smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I just want to go for a walk, let Dalong have a good meal, David and I have time anyway, let's go."
Mother Zhao hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhao Dalong who hadn't eaten yet, and agreed, "Then I'll trouble you."
After sending the three children to the car, Zhao's mother stood at the door and reminded them, "Listen to your teachers at school and come back early after school."
The three of them said yes in unison, and David started the car and said, "Sit tight, we're leaving."
Following the road pointed out by Zhao Fengjuan, it takes about ten minutes to drive to the destination, but it would take more than half an hour to walk.
As soon as the car entered the school area, it attracted everyone's attention.
The children passing by were simply dressed, some carrying washed-out schoolbags, and some carrying homemade cloth bags. They all looked at us curiously, their eyes full of surprise and envy.
Lin Jianyan and David carried the two kids out of the car. Zhao Fengjuan followed closely behind them and exclaimed in surprise as if she recognized them.
Lin Jianyan put his small schoolbag on Zhao Cuicui's back and said, "Okay, let's go to class."
The three of them said thank you, and it was as if the crowd was running towards their friends. The three of them were surrounded by their friends, which made them envious.
"Wow, Juan'er, you came here in a car today. Did your family buy a car?"
"Juan'er, your schoolbag is really nice. I saw it when I was at the supply and marketing cooperative, but it was too expensive, so my mother didn't want to buy it for me."
Zhao Fengjuan felt a little embarrassed, but she still had some hidden sense of vanity in her heart. However, the girl had a good nature and did not suddenly act superior to others. She spoke openly.
"Yes, it's my brother who's back. This is his friend's car. He also bought me some pencils and stationery. I'll lend them to you later."
Her friend beside her said happily: "Okay, okay, thank you Juan'er."
