118 He is very happy
There are no mosquito coils at home. The mosquitoes in the village are extremely lethal in summer. If you get bitten by one accidentally, it will be red and itchy, which is quite painful.
Fortunately, there is a mosquito net in every room at home. I made it myself with gauze and cloth. It is a bit thick and not very breathable.
However, the temperature dropped late at night, making it easier to sleep than in the city.
Gao Qinghe found the moxa sticks that her grandmother had packed, lit them, took them to Gao Qingmiao's compartment, and fumigated them everywhere.
Especially inside the mosquito net, there may be mosquitoes hiding there that secretly flew in during the day.
If you don't deal with them properly, you won't be able to sleep peacefully that night and will have to get up in the middle of the night to swatt mosquitoes.
The compartment was narrow and dark, far inferior to the bright and sunny room of Gao Qinghe and her sister.
The ground was rammed earth, and various sundries were placed in the corners.
When the three siblings were young, they slept in the same room, each with a small bed.
When Gao Qingmiao grew up, he was moved into the compartment.
He actually didn't live here for long. Now he has moved to the county town and only comes back to sleep occasionally when he has time.
There is always a damp smell in a room where no one has slept in it for a long time.
Gao Qinghe was fumigating mugwort while looking around the small compartment. Thinking that Jiang Baohai would have to sleep here soon, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
But soon, her family will move out of this old and dilapidated mud house.
Thinking of the money he had in his hands, Gao Qinghe was happy again.
When Jiang Baohai walked in, he saw her kneeling on the bed made of wooden boards, smiling to herself.
A pair of beautiful eyes sparkled in the faint light of the burning mugwort.
A strange feeling flashed through Jiang Baohai's mind.
He walked over lightly and came to the bed.
Gao Qinghe saw a dark shadow looming over his head. Just as he was about to turn around, he was hugged tightly from behind.
"I have to go back early tomorrow morning."
Jiang Baohai's hoarse voice sounded behind him. If possible, he didn't want to be separated from her for even a second.
Gao Qinghe relaxed his tense body, shook his shoulders and whispered a warning:
"You are so bold in my house, do you want to die? Let me go."
If my younger sister saw this, she wouldn't be able to save his life.
"It's okay, your sister went to the bathroom." Jiang Baohai hugged her tighter, "I won't let go."
Gao Qinghe: "I'm fumigating mugwort, stop making trouble."
"Don't you like it?" He put his thin lips close to her and kissed her lightly on the side of her face.
Gao Qinghe's hand trembled and he almost poked the wormwood into the mosquito net, which was bound to burn a hole through it.
His earlobe was sucked again, Gao Qinghe felt a heat in his lower abdomen, and he gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.
Jiang Baohai laughed softly and wanted to tease her when he heard the sound of quick footsteps coming from the yard.
Gao Qinghe leaned back with his elbow and said in a panic, "My sister is back!"
Jiang Baohai was hit in the chest by an elbow and coughed twice without warning. He then kissed her on the top of the head before stepping back.
He stood by the bed with his hands behind his back, looking serious.
"Sister, are you done?" Gao Qingya ran in and asked softly. Gao Qinghe took a deep breath, crawled out from the mosquito net, and stuffed the unfinished wormwood in her hand into Jiang Baohai's hand.
He nodded to his sister, "Let's go to bed."
Jiang Baohai said hurriedly, "We don't have much time to prepare. You should think about the wedding these few days so I can make arrangements in advance."
Gao Qinghe nodded and said, "I'll tell you when I'm done with this."
Rather than getting married, she is now more worried about how to bring her family to the city for a physical examination.
Seeing her frown, Jiang Baohai said seriously, "Just tell me if you need me."
Gao Qinghe turned around and smiled at him, "Don't worry, I will definitely not be polite with you."
Hearing her words, Jiang Baohai couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
He was very happy to be used by her.
The sisters' door closed gently. Jiang Baohai looked at the light coming through the crack of the door until it was completely extinguished. Then he took the almost burned mugwort and fumigated it everywhere in the room.
After smoking, turn off the lights and go to bed.
The next morning, before it was fully light, Jiang Baohai went back.
Old Mrs. Tian wanted to prepare some food for him to take with him, but it was too late.
The old lady feels sad when she thinks about how busy the young people are.
It’s better to get married early so that two young people can live together and don’t have to travel back and forth between two places in the future.
Thinking that her eldest granddaughter was about to get married, Old Mrs. Tian happily hummed a song again.
The village primary school was on vacation, and Gao Chongyi wanted to sleep in at home, but his biological clock woke him up early in the morning.
After lying in bed for a while, he couldn't fall asleep, so he got up and went to the fields with Huang Ying to look at the water.
When the couple came back, each of them held a handful of colorful wild flowers picked from the roadside.
I put a bunch of flowers on my daughter's windowsill, a bunch in the living room, and a bunch in my bedroom, and the whole yard was filled with sweet fragrance.
Gao Qingya’s high school entrance exam results are coming out soon. The little girl is not anxious at all, but her family members are worried for her.
Before Gao Qinghe got up, Gao Chongyi had already gone to the convenience store and called a teacher he knew in town.
"The results will be out the day after tomorrow," said Gao Chongyi.
Gao Qingya filled a bowl of food for herself and her sister, and muttered with her mouth full:
"I've checked my answers with my classmates, so 700 points is no problem."
The total score of the Qing County High School Entrance Examination is 750. If you can really score 700 points, it will be more than enough to enter the key class of the county middle school.
Huang Ying doesn't keep a strict eye on her children's studies, and doesn't have high expectations. "Just getting into high school is enough."
Gao Chongyi is completely different from his wife. He believes that parents should help their children discover their potential.
You clearly have the ability to get into a key school, so why settle for second best?
"Dad will go to school with you to check your grades the day after tomorrow."
Gao Qingya didn't care who accompanied her, as long as her elder sister had to be there, she pulled Gao Qinghe's sleeve and asked her to go with her.
Gao Qinghe suddenly had an idea. "How about the whole family go together? Let's check the results in the morning, and then go to the county hospital for a physical examination in the afternoon. We can stay in the city for one night. How about that? Consider it a celebration."
Gao Qingya was the first to respond, raising her hand, "I agree!"
Mrs. Tian was tempted but hesitant, "What should I do with the chickens at home?"
Huang Ying was thinking about the remaining work in the fields. It seemed that there was not much else to do except fertilizing the newly planted vegetable seedlings and watching over the water in the fields.
During the slack season in July and August, many villagers go to the city to find odd jobs. If they can finish two months of work, they can earn enough money for fertilizer for a year.
At this time of year in previous years, Huang Ying would pick the leftover vegetables from the vegetable garden and sell them in the village or town.
They would also use the grain left over from the previous year to make wine. In the hot summer, sitting in front of the steaming stove, busy all day, my whole body was soaked in sweat.
After Gao Qinghe and Huang Yanqiu left the village, Huang Ying mentioned to Gao Chongyi that her daughter wanted to take her family to the hospital for a physical examination.
Huang Ying didn't really want to go. One reason was that she couldn't spare the time, but the other was that she was afraid of wasting money.
Gao Chongyi knew that his wife had many minor flaws, but he was used to enduring them and never spoke about them.
Now Gao Qinghe brought it up and said to his wife, "It's okay to take a few days off. Go ahead and don't spoil the kids' fun."
Huang Ying asked worriedly, "Is a physical examination expensive?"
Gao Qinghe nodded, "A detailed full-body checkup isn't cheap."
Under the curious gazes of her family, she smiled wickedly, took the bag full of money out of the room and put it on the table, "But our family is rich now!"
