Chapter 208
Everyone in the old Song family was wearing newly bought clothes and had a smile on their face. They had been in the county town for more than half a year, but there was no trace of their previous hard work in the fields. Everyone looked different and energetic, as if they were born and raised in the county town.
This formed a stark contrast to the dusty Chen Fengxia on the other side.
The Song family was still happily discussing the photo shoot, completely unaware of Chen Fengxia across the street. Chen Fengxia, still brooding over her lost money and feeling irritated, hadn't noticed the Baoya she was desperately looking for was just across the street.
Chen Fengxia didn't raise her head until the people from Old Song's family walked away talking and laughing. She could only see a few backs from afar.
Although the distance was great, Chen Fengxia, having raised Baoya for three years, was able to spot her in the crowd. She quickly got up and hurried after her. However, they were already on the busy street, with another street separating them. Before Chen Fengxia could get far, the Song family had already disappeared from sight.
"Baoya, Baoya..." Chen Fengxia's eyes turned red with anxiety and she kept shouting.
She didn't even bother to look at the road and just walked straight through. The cyclist behind her couldn't dodge in time and knocked her to the ground.
Chen Fengxia fell to the ground, her arm aching, but she didn't care. She just looked in the direction where Baoya disappeared and kept calling out. However, the person had already gone far away, and no matter how much she called, he would not come back.
Unwilling to give up, Chen Fengxia searched along the same road in the county town for another day, but it was so big that it was difficult to find someone. Furthermore, she had lost all her money and was practically starving all day. Finally, she ran into someone she knew and took a bus back to the Yuejin Production Brigade.
She was holding her breath before leaving, but now she was back in despair. Thinking about her trip, not seeing the person and losing the money she brought, Chen Fengxia's eyes were red.
Everyone in the brigade knew about Chen Fengxia's absence during the few days. When Chen Fengxia came back and joined the brigade, someone saw her and quickly told Liu Youcang.
"Youcang, hurry up, your wife is back and she doesn't look well. Go check on her."
Liu Youcang didn't care about the work in his hands when he heard it, and hurried to the direction they pointed.
He looked dirty and walked with his head down, and it was obvious that he was different from his usual self.
When he got closer, Liu Youcang saw that Chen Fengxia's clothes were torn, her arms were scratched, and her eyes were red, as if she had been in a disaster. Liu Youcang frowned:
"What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Chen Fengxia looked up at him, unwilling to speak, and walked past him on her way home. Liu Youcang saw that she didn't say anything, pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions. He just went to the kitchen to boil some water and told her to wash up and change clothes first.
From then on, everyone in the Yuejin Production Brigade felt that Chen Fengxia seemed to have changed.
........
The people in the Song family didn't know that such an incident happened on the day of the photo shoot, but even if they knew, they probably wouldn't care too much.
At the time agreed upon with the studio owner, Song Jianshe went to retrieve the photos. There were six in total, and Song Jianshe even bought a frame for the largest one, a family portrait.
When the whole family gathered in the evening, everyone gathered together to look at the photos.
Everyone in the photo had a smile on their face. Although they were a little nervous, the joy still emanated from them, and everyone who saw it couldn't help but curl their lips.
The whole family stood together neatly, three generations living under the same roof.
Chen Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Oh, look at me, I'm so nervous I don't know what to do with my hands."
"And Aiguo, he was so happy that his eyes were almost invisible."
The little ones also looked at each other and said, "Yuanbao, look how big your eyes are."
"Aren't you supposed to smile when you're talking about eggplant? Why are you staring? Hahaha..."
"Well, then look at Fifth Brother. Fifth Brother is almost the same as me." Yuanbao retorted, pulling Tianen to take the blame.
Tian En laughed embarrassedly, "I, I was too nervous at the time and didn't react..."
As they were talking, the little ones all praised Baoya and Yunduo: "Look, none of them are as good as the one taken by little Bao."
"And Sixth Sister, she also has a beautiful smile. Tiantian is still playing with her hands, haha, silly Tiantian."
Baoya stood on tiptoe, looking at the photo. She was smiling with her big eyes and teeth showing, looking cute and adorable. Baoya opened her eyes wide and looked at everyone in the photo. They looked exactly as she saw them. And her grandmother, sitting right in the middle, smiled kindly.
Baoya laughed softly again.
The family photo
They were placed on the table in the main room. Each family had a photo for themselves, and a group photo of several children was placed in Feng Guizhi's room.
Each photo was placed carefully. The little ones would run to other rooms from time to time to look at the photos, and they were so curious about them for a long time.
After arriving at school, Yuanbao showed off to Wang Duanduan and Du Feiyu, which made them say that they must come and see it the next time they go back to Old Song's house.
Time flew by, and soon their elementary school's midterm exams arrived. When the results came out, Baoya was top of her class. As soon as they got their results home, Yuanbao quickly told Feng Guizhi and Yang Yulan about it before Baoya could say anything.
He was so proud when he spoke about it, as if the person who got first place in the exam was not Baoya, but him.
"Grandma, Third Aunt, let me tell you, Xiaobao got first place in the class in this exam! It's amazing, and she's even the youngest in the class."
"Sister Xiaobao got full marks in both subjects. Our teacher praised her, saying she was very smart and very attentive in class. He also asked all the students in our class to learn from her."
"Grandma, you have to make a delicious reward for little sister Xiaobao tonight."
“.......”
Feng Guizhi and Yang Yulan couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, give me a reward."
Yang Yulan lowered her head and rubbed Baoya's head, praising her as well. Baoya's shy little face turned red, but her eyes were sparkling.
As autumn turned to winter, the first snow fell soon and the temperature gradually dropped. Fortunately, Old Song's family had a kang. Once the firewood was burning underneath, the whole house would be warm in no time.
Because Feng Guizhi had a good relationship with her neighbor Xu Zhaodi, she mentioned the kang to her. Xu Zhaodi was so happy to hear about such a good thing that she immediately told her son and daughter-in-law. Soon, their kang was also built.
After sleeping in a warm place for a night, Xu Zhaodi came to Old Song's house the next day with freshly fried vegetable pancakes to thank Feng Guizhi.
"Oh, thanks to you for telling me about the kang. I slept there last night and it was so warm. I don't have to be afraid of the cold this winter." As she said that, Xu Zhaodi put the vegetable pancakes she brought on the chopping board: "They are freshly fried and still hot. Let you try them.
Feng Guizhi did not refuse and accepted it with a smile. After sending Xu Zhaodi away, she took
He handed the vegetable pancake to Tiantian to eat.
Before the winter solstice, Baoya and Tianen's birthdays happened to fall on a Sunday. Feng Guizhi went out early in the morning to buy groceries and stocked up on seasonal vegetables and meats. Since the temperature was low, everything would be able to keep well.
Yang Yulan also told Sun Suyun in advance and asked her to go to work for a day, and then she took Baoya, Tianen and Song Jianye out for a walk for half a day.
On their annual birthdays, Yang Yulan chose gifts for both of them, including a small jacket for each. Passing by a store, Yang Yulan spotted a particularly nice red hat and bought it for Baoya.
The brightly colored hat on Baoya's head only reveals her chubby, white and tender little face underneath, making her eyes look bigger and brighter.
Yang Yulan looked at it carefully for a few times and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"Your daughter is so pretty." The clerk next to her couldn't help but praise her when he saw her.
Tian En also said: "Little Bao sister is so pretty."
Baoya smiled shyly, her eyes sparkling.
After returning home, Song Jianshe gave Tianen and Baoya the letter and things sent by Shen Yibei. Shen Yibei would send things on the birthdays of the little ones in the family, so Song Jianshe took advantage of his free time to go to the post office and bring the letter back.
Tian'en and Baoya looked at the letter Shen Yibei wrote to them, and then picked up the gift he carefully selected, with bright smiles on their little faces.
Yuanbao Boyu and the others also prepared gifts. In the evening, the whole family gathered together and had a lively meal to celebrate Tianen and Baoya's birthdays. After the meal, there was a cake bought by Song Jianshe, and the laughter and joy continued for a long time.
.........
After Tian'en and Baoya's birthdays, it was the Winter Solstice, and then New Year's Day. The younger ones all had their winter break, and by then it wasn't far from New Year's Eve.
On New Year's Eve, it snowed outside. The cold flakes drifted down from the sky, bringing with them a chill. Inside, the Song family sat around the table, enjoying their New Year's Eve dinner, feeling warm and cozy.
"Another year has passed. Time flies so fast. It's already the New Year." Chen Xiuxiu said with emotion.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that it has been almost a year since we moved to the county town."
Looking back on the days in the Hongqi Production Brigade, it seems like a long time ago.
Song Aiguo also said: "
A lot has happened in our family over the past two years, but everything has turned out well, and we are still together as a family."
They moved from the Hongqi Production Brigade to the county town, and went from working in the fields to now being regular workers, including a few young ones... Many things have changed, but the only thing that remains unchanged is that their family is still united.
This was their first New Year's Eve spent in the county town, and also the third year since Baoya came to their Song family.
And in the future, they will spend many more years together.
Baoya looked at the people in the room, then looked at the snow falling outside, and smiled gently.
