In the spring of 1976, when the flowers were blooming, Zhou Jinyan returned.
A jeep stopped at the gate of Qin Feng's house, and two people got out of the car. Qin Muchun just came back from outside. Seeing that it was Zhou Jinyan, he ran up happily and said, "Brother Jinyan, you're back. Are you tired? Come in, have a drink of water, and rest for a while. This big brother also comes in and has a drink of water." The soldier smiled and said, "I won't go in. I have something else to do. Jinyan, I'm leaving first. Let me know when you come back. I'll go buy train tickets."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Chang. Go slowly on the road."
"Okay, got it."
After sending the soldiers off, Qin Muchun saw a lot of bags on the ground. "Oh my god! Zhou Jinyan, you brought gifts to my sister again. Wow, I admire you." He clasped his hands together and bowed. Zhou Jinyan patted him and said, "Funny!"
The two of them carried and hugged the things and put them on the table under the big tree in the yard. Qin Muchun poured a bowl of tea for Zhou Jinyan and said, "Hurry up and drink a bowl of water. I'm going to call mother and father. Ke'er and her brothers are going to the county town."
"Huh? I should have gone to look for them earlier. What did Ke'er do? How did she go? When will she be back?"
"Hey, Zhou Jinyan, when did you become such a nagging ghost? You asked so many questions at once, which one should I answer?"
"Hehe. I was wrong, Xiao Si. I'll go with you to find Uncle Qin and Aunt Shuwan."
The two chased each other and came to Xiaoqing Mountain. Qin Feng saw Qin Muchun and Zhou Jinyan from a distance and said to Li Shuwan with a smile, "Shuwan, that kid Jinyan is here, hehe."
Li Shuwan glared at Qin Feng and said, "Jinyan has grown up, so you don't need to call me kid anymore."
"Okay, okay, just call that kid Jinyan, okay? Haha."
Li Shuwan shook her head helplessly and walked with him to the edge of the peony field to wait for the two children to come up the mountain.
When Zhou Jinyan saw Qin Feng and Li Shuwan, he waved and shouted, "Uncle Qin, Aunt Shuwan, Aunt Shuwan, Uncle Qin, I'm here, I came to see you."
Li Shuwan noticed that they were running happily and reminded them, "Slow down, slow down, and watch the road you are walking on."
After climbing the mountain, both of them were out of breath. Qin Muchun turned around and said to Zhou Jinyan proudly, "Hey, Zhou Jinyan, you've regressed since you arrived in the capital. You're out of breath just climbing the mountain. You're not even as good as me now. You've regressed significantly."
Li Shuwan quickly called the two people to drink water and handed them towels to wipe their sweat.
Qin Feng put his hands on his hips and said to Zhou Jinyan, "Jinyan, is your grandpa okay? Why are you here now? Who brought you here?"
Zhou Jinyan took a big gulp of water and gulped it down, then whispered to Qin Feng, "Uncle Qin, I came to tell Ke'er that the national college entrance examination will be held in the fall of next year. It's not easy to tell her in a letter, so I came here. Grandpa called the son of a comrade in the county town, and he picked me up at the train station and sent me here."
"What? The college entrance exam is moving up?"
When Zhou Jinyan heard Ke'er's voice, he turned around and shouted excitedly, "Ke'er, you're back. Are you hot? Are you tired? Sit here and have some water."
Zhou Jinyan pulled Ke'er to sit down at the edge of the field and handed her a bowl of water. Watching her gulp down the water, he smiled and said, "Ke'er, what do you mean in advance? You knew about the college entrance exam a long time ago? And you even knew the date? Impossible." Zhou Jinyan tilted his head, puzzled, wondering, could it be that Ke'er was also reborn like me? No, no, no, that's not the case.
Ke'er was stunned. Damn, she was so surprised that she let it slip. "No, how could I know? I just felt that the national college entrance examination was held when it was announced. I was quite surprised."
Zhou Jinyan nodded. "Oh, that's right. We must study hard and get good grades."
Qin Muxiaohe and Qin Muzhou both listened patiently to the two chattering non-stop. Qin Feng saw this and shouted, "Jinyan, Ke'er, go home. We'll talk in detail after we get home and have dinner."
For dinner, Li Shuwan made Zhou Jinyan's favorite spicy oil noodles. She didn't mix any cornmeal in them, but only used white flour. Qin Feng saw Li Shuwan kneading the dough, so he walked over, pulled her arm, and said, "Come, let me knead the dough. I'm strong, so I can knead it thoroughly and the dough will be chewy."
Li Shuwan's Qin Feng helps in the kitchen. In the 1960s, Qin Feng no longer has the style of an ancient general. He does all the housework himself. Ke Er praises Qin Feng as a "man who loves his family, wife and children."
Qin Feng has been fond of this title for a long time. He likes to find work more and more.
Qin Muxiao, Ke'er, Zhou Jinyan and others sat under a big tree, picking leeks, Chinese cabbage, garlic sprouts, and water celery, and generally talking about things related to the college entrance examination. Qin Muchun washed cucumbers and radishes in a large basin of water, pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"Brother, Little Fourth Brother and I need to change our ages. Isn't this a little young to take the college entrance exam next year? If we do too well, will people envy us?"
Qin Muchun ran over with his wet hands outstretched and said, "That's right, we need to change it. We'll make him two years older. He'll be 17 next year."
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Jinyan with a smug look on his face: Humph, if Ke'er and I change our ages, I will be one year older than you, so you have to call me brother. He thought it was a beautiful thought and laughed out loud.
Qin Muxiao patted him on the back of the head. "Why are you grinning like an idiot? You're even trying to change your age to two years older. What good are you thinking? I already managed to change my age to one year older. Don't leave any tails for others to come after you."
Qin Muxiao said to Ke'er, "I, your brother, have changed the ages of you, Xiao Si, and Qin Ye by one year. Now you are all 15 years old."
Ke Er jumped three feet high, "Oh yeah, second brother you are awesome, I love you."
Zhou Jinyan looked at Qin Muxiao with a complaining look, wondering if he should change his age as well. Qin Muxiao guessed what Zhou Jinyan was thinking and said to him jokingly, "Jinyan, you don't have to change your age. Just keep it as usual. Otherwise, it will be even more troublesome if people find out."
