They set out in the morning and returned to their hometown in the mountains around noon.
The cart stopped at the doorstep of Tian Xiaohui's home. As soon as Tian Xiaohui was dropped off, the cart heard a clear sound of a dog barking from the hill next door.
Ye Yun looked up.
The half-grown little coal ball stood on the slope with a proud and confident look in his eyes, and he was looking at them with his head tilted.
Qin Zheng shouted: "Dog!"
“Woof——”
Coal Ball finally confirmed that this was his master who had not returned home for a long time, and he jumped down the slope in one step.
“Woof woof woof!”
Qin Zheng leaned over and caught the coal ball. The half-grown coal ball put its two front paws on Qin Zheng, whimpering in grievance, and its black tail was raised high up and almost turned into a propeller.
Ye Yun reached out and touched Coal Ball's head, and was immediately grabbed and licked by it.
"Little guy, you've grown so big."
"Woof woof..." After licking her hand, Coal Ball gently bit her sleeve with her teeth. A look of grievance appeared on the little puppy's face, and he wanted to pull her out of the car and take her home.
The fence gate on the slope opened.
A young man came out following the sound, holding a spatula in his hand.
The young man was about twenty years old, tall and thin, with slightly dark skin. He wore a white sweatshirt, black trousers, and had a neat short haircut. His eyebrows and eyes were 60% similar to Qin Xiang'e.
Looking down in confusion.
When he saw Qin Zheng, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Brother? You're back!"
In a few seconds, the man ran down the slope and stood in front of Qin Zheng and Ye Yun with a happy face. His two rows of white teeth shone particularly brightly in the sun.
Ye Yun shook her eyes. What brand of toothpaste is so hard?
"Old Four?"
Qin Zheng looked at the young man in front of him in surprise. Obviously, he didn't expect that someone had returned home.
The fourth one nodded and grinned, "Brother, it's me. We haven't seen each other for many years."
It's been many years.
Ever since Qin Zheng went out to work and the fourth brother went out to study, if I counted carefully, I realized that I haven't seen them for five or six years.
When Qin Zheng left, the fourth child was still a student who had just entered high school.
In the blink of an eye, I look like an adult.
"Brother, my mother went to town to sell mung bean cakes. She said today is Mid-Autumn Festival and business is good. She will probably be back later." said the fourth brother.
Qin Zheng nodded.
He turned around and introduced Ye Yun: "Wife, this is our aunt's son, the fourth son."
"Hello, cousin." The fourth brother looked at Ye Yun in the car pocket with a very discerning look, with a simple smile on his face, "I am the fourth brother. I have been hearing my mother talking about you these two days since I came back."
Ye Yun also bent her lower lip, "Hello."
The fourth brother smiled innocently again.
Although he went to college and saw a wider world, his innocent nature was not lost.
"Go home quickly, I have a chicken stewing in the pot. We can have dinner when my mother comes back." The fourth child suddenly remembered the chicken in the pot. He said something to Qin Zheng and hurried home with a spatula in hand.
Qin Zheng laughed helplessly, "His appearance has changed, but his confused personality hasn't changed."
"ah?"
"I'm talking about the fourth child. He was confused when he was a child, and he was still confused when he grew up. It's strange that such a confused person is not confused at all when it comes to studying. He passed all the tests and was admitted to university. He is the first college student in our village within ten miles." Qin Zheng said with a smile.
Although he said that, the pride between the lines was almost overflowing.
When the fourth child took the college entrance examination, the country had just opened up the college entrance examination, and he became the first batch of college students from the mountain village.
In their town, there is only one college student, the fourth brother.
Children living in the mountains usually go to primary school and learn some numbers so they won't be cheated or deceived.
When they grow up, they get married and have children according to the routine.
Most people spend their entire lives farming and working as laborers.
Not many people can afford to go to school.
In addition, the mountain area is poor and educational resources are limited. Only a few people can go to high school, let alone take the college entrance examination. Being able to get into college is a great honor for one's ancestors.
But the fourth child passed the exam.
Not only did it bring honor to the ancestors, but it also gave Qin Xiang'e, a widow with a bad reputation, a chance to prove herself.
Qin Zheng didn't want Ye Yun to climb the hill with a big belly, so he started the car and drove all the way home.
The little coal ball followed behind with a roar.
As soon as they entered the yard, they saw the old lady sitting at the door of the main room basking in the sun.
Good job.
The four seasons rotate from early summer to mid-autumn.
When they left, the old lady was sitting at the door of the main room basking in the sun. When they came back, the old lady was still sitting at the door of the main room basking in the sun. What a strong heart she had.
"Wife, let me help you down."
Qin Zheng took out the things from the car pocket and reached out to help Ye Yun.
Ye Yun was helped out of the car by him.
As soon as she landed, the old lady seemed to feel something, and her cloudy eyes suddenly looked at her bulging belly.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was a bit cold. Ye Yun wore a long-sleeved shirt and loose overalls, which made her belly bulge more obvious. Her face looked a little round from eating, and her figure looked a little clumsy.
"Grandma." Ye Yun greeted.
She even raised her voice for fear that the old lady couldn't hear her.
The old lady seemed to be looking at her belly vaguely. Although her eyesight was not very good, a satisfied smile appeared on her kind old face.
Under the kitchen shed, smoke was coming out of the spatula that Lao Si was waving.
Not only stewed chicken in the earthen pot, he also fried seasonal vegetables in a small pot next to it.
It looks like he’s the chef for this year’s festival.
"Wife, lie down and rest for a while. I'll go help the fourth brother." Qin Zheng pulled out the recliner at home and asked Ye Yun to lie down.
