More than an hour later, when Su Xiaotian was drowsy, Nanling Village arrived.
Two people got off the bus carrying large and small bags.
There happened to be someone at the entrance of the village. Su Xiaotian knew this person, Mrs. Chang.
A few years have passed, and Mrs. Chang's clothes are not as tattered as they were a few years ago. Although they are not new, they don't have many patches.
Moreover, Su Xiaotian felt that Mrs. Chang's face had lost a lot of anger and seemed to be much more easy-going.
When she saw Su Xiaotian, Mrs. Chang blinked her eyes desperately, and then shouted in surprise: "Xiaotian? Oh, it's Xiaotian who is back. I thought I saw it wrong, but it turned out to be true."
of."
Mrs. Chang is a typical example of favoring boys over girls in the village. For many years, she has been envious of the fact that the Su family has many boys.
She was jealous of male children and couldn't stand the fact that the Su family treated Su Xiaotian as their treasure.
It is often said that Grandma Su was blinded by lard, so she dotes on money-losing people in every possible way.
Because of this, I had several fights with Grandma Su.
But in the past few years, as the granddaughters have gradually made money and the family's life has improved, a lot has changed.
When she saw Su Xiaotian, her joy was genuine.
"Hello, Grandma Chang!"
Su Xiaotian didn't really care about what happened in the past. Now that Mrs. Chang was warm to her, she treated Mrs. Chang as an elder and greeted her.
"Oh, it's different in the city. Look at Xiaotian, she's getting more and more beautiful."
Mrs. Chang looked Su Xiaotian up and down several times and felt that this girl was really extraordinary, much better than the other girls in her family.
No wonder the old woman of the Su family likes her granddaughter even though she doesn't care about her grandson.
"Grandma Chang, I'm going to Uncle Changjiu's house."
Although she could treat her with courtesy, Su Xiaotian really didn't like Mrs. Chang, so she had no intention of saying anything more and just spoke directly.
Mrs. Chang stepped aside with a smile and said, "I just saw the village chief coming back from the fields. If you go now, you can definitely find him."
After Su Xiaotian thanked her, she led Teacher Xie Nan towards Su Changjiu's home.
Mrs. Chang saw Su Xiaotian walking far away and still shouted loudly: "Xiaotian, when are you going back? Come to my house before you go back."
"I know, Grandma Chang!" Su Xiaotian said, and she had already walked away.
Someone next to me happened to overhear this conversation and asked Mrs. Chang with a smile: "You are not the worst at dealing with the Su family, so why do you let my granddaughter go to your house?"
Mrs. Chang glared at the man and said, "You have to be grateful, right? If it weren't for the help of the Su family in our village, would our life be better than in other villages? Not to mention that the Su family now accepts our handiwork, even the seeds we use now,
This was all researched by Su Xiaotian and Teacher Shen earlier, otherwise, it would have given your kid enough to eat?"
After being choked by Mrs. Chang, the man did not dare to speak anymore.
After the village chief came back, he said that the Su family is now very powerful in the capital and can still talk to the big leaders above.
From now on, if the people in this village want to live a good life, they have to rely on the Su family?
Mrs. Chang ignored the expressionless young man and stared at Su Xiaotian with envy.
She has many grandchildren, but none of them can compare with her.
Look at other people, the fair-skinned college students look different from those in the village.
At this time, Mrs. Chang had completely forgotten that the reason why there were no college students in the Chang family was because she felt that girls did not need to study.
Several children of the Chang family attended literacy classes and could only recognize a few words and write their names.
Su Jiujiu's home was not very far from the entrance of the village. The two of them walked for about five or six minutes and arrived at the door of Su Jiujiu's home.
Teacher Xie Nan hesitated at this time.
She didn't know what would happen after entering the door, what if...
"Teacher Xie, this is right here. Sister Xiaocao has lived in this home for more than 20 years. Don't you want to go in and have a look?" Su Xiaotian just asked.
Su Xiaotian has always thought that she can never make decisions for anyone else. Whether it is Su Xiaocao or Teacher Xie, they have to make their own decisions in the end about what path they want to take in the future.
.
"Xiaotian, I'm a little scared!"
Xie Nan put the large and small bags in his hands on the ground and held Su Xiaotian's white and tender hands.
"Teacher Xie, there's nothing to be afraid of. There are just two solutions!" Su Xiaotian comforted him.
Xie Nan felt that he was in a trance at this time. Through the open wooden door of Su Changjiu's house, Xie Nan could see two couples sitting face to face under the big pear tree in the yard.
There was a wooden table under the big pear tree, with simple meals, but it could be seen that the smiles of the couple were very sincere.
"Uncle Jiujiu!"
When Su Jiujiu heard Su Xiaotian calling Uncle Jiujiu, he thought he heard it wrong.
"Old lady, how did I hear Xiaotian's voice?" Su Changjiu asked his wife sitting opposite him in confusion.
Su Jiujiu's wife did indeed hear someone calling Uncle Jiujiu, and it seemed that it was really Xiaotian's voice.
But shouldn't Xiaotian be in the capital? Why did she come to the village?
"Uncle Jiujiu, aunt, I'm here!"
This time, both husband and wife were sure that it was not an auditory hallucination, but that Su Xiaotian was really here.
The couple put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up.
"Xiaotian, why did you come back to the village if you don't go to school?" Su Jiujiu stared at Su Xiaotian in confusion.
At this time, there is still a long time before summer vacation.
Are all the children who go to school now so free?
"Uncle Jiujiu, this is Teacher Xie Nan, a teacher from my university. She came here for something, so I came with her." Su Xiaotian introduced Su Jiujiu with a smile.
"Hello, thank you, teacher."
Su Jiujiu took the initiative to say hello and wanted to shake hands with Teacher Xie, but he seemed to have thought of something and took back his raised hand.
The person in front of me is a university teacher and a high-level intellectual.
He cannot be rude to the person in front of him.
"Hello, can I come in?"
Teacher Xie Nan said in a dry tone.
She also wanted to make her tone more natural, but obviously she couldn't.
Su Jiujiu's wife also came over at this time. She didn't know Xie Nan, but she wouldn't be disgusted by the people Su Xiaotian brought.
"Thank you, Teacher, please come in quickly."
She repeatedly greeted Teacher Xie Nan to come in, and found a clean small stool and placed it under the big pear tree for Teacher Xie Nan and Su Xiaotian to sit.
"Xiaotian, are you tired from the journey? Have you eaten? If you want to eat something, Auntie will make it for you."
Su Xiaotian took a look and saw on the table a plate of cold eggplant and pimple soup made from a mixture of cornmeal and white flour. It was the most ordinary farm rice, but it looked a bit bland.
It seems that the life of the people in the village is not very good now. Even the village chief cannot eat pure white noodles.
