The day Xu Zijun returned to school, there were only ten mooncakes left at home, two of each of the four different flavors, and the extra two were both five-nut flavor.
Although the Xu family used a lot of ingredients to make the five kernels this time, and innovatively added some nuts, removing the red and green skin that made Xu Qingzhi feel unpalatable, Xu Qingzhi still didn't like to eat it, and waved her hand to let her brother eat it.
Take it away.
Wang Yanmei and Xu Fuqiang are also tired of eating. They eat two or three months of cakes a day, and it’s strange that they don’t get tired of it.
Wang Yanmei packed all ten mooncakes for him in plastic bags. The packaging boxes took up space, so it would be more convenient to just put them in plastic bags and stuff them into the schoolbag.
There were a lot of salted duck eggs at home. Xu Zijun packed more than fifty of them, which couldn't be packed in even one plastic bag. It took two plastic bags to put them all. He was stunned to find half of the half-eaten jar of salted duck eggs, and all the salted duck eggs were left.
Pretended to leave.
If it weren't for the weight of the homework books I brought back, these would be too heavy...
The weight together was already Xu Zijun's limit. The pressure made his shoulders feel heavy. He felt that he could carry a few more.
The whole time at home, Wang Yanmei was asking him to take food away, Xu Fuqiang was always ready to drive people off, and Xu Qingzhi was sitting leisurely in a rocking chair, drinking tea contentedly.
Even if the weather is so hot, she still likes to drink chrysanthemum tea brewed with hot water.
The chrysanthemums in the space are growing well, and the little paper figure has arranged them into jars of dried chrysanthemums. She puts one jar outside, and adds another jar after drinking. The dried chrysanthemums have never been broken.
When Xu Qingzhi saw his brother carrying his schoolbag and getting ready to get in the car, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. Just like the Turtle Immortal, the schoolbag made his tall body slightly shorter.
She said, "These are too heavy, so just pack them less. There are plenty of salted duck eggs at home, so you can eat them if you want when you come back."
Xu Zijun: "I'll take it to Lin Kai and the others to try."
Xu Qingzhi waved his hand helplessly.
"Let's go, sister." Xu Zijun shouted and got in the car.
The car drove farther away, turned onto the road, and soon disappeared.
Wang Yanmei stood on the edge of the courtyard dam, standing straight and staring at the car. She still stood there watching until the shadow of the car disappeared.
When Xu Qingzhi used to go to school, he had to walk several miles to Daji Village, take a bus to the county seat, and then transfer to another bus.
Every time her parents and brother would see her off together, she got in the car and drove forward. She never looked back, never.
Especially as people grow older, they feel that they are no longer children and can no longer be nostalgic for their families.
But if she had looked back at that time, she would probably have seen that even if her parents couldn't see her, they had to watch the car completely leave before turning around with confidence.
Wang Yanmei turned around, with tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qingzhi asked.
Wang Yanmei shook her head and sighed: "It just feels like your brother has grown up. When he goes to college, he will only come back once a semester. If he goes to work and is far away, I'm afraid he can only come back during the Chinese New Year.
Come once."
When people are still young, their ideas are always forward-thinking.
But when I get to my parents' age, some inexplicable sighs will always pop up.
Xu Qingzhi understood. She slowly put the tea cup aside and said slowly: "It's okay. Our farm can make money. When the time comes, let my brother work for me, and I will pay him the same salary."
"That won't work." Wang Yanmei refused.
Xu Qingzhi thought that her mother still felt that there was no future in farming, so she said this, but the next second she heard her mother say something serious.
"What if your brother sees you making so much money and goes back to rob this farm from you? Who should your father and I help? Don't worry about him. He has a smart mind and will definitely be admitted to college. Just let him stay out there by himself.
Chuang, as long as he doesn't starve to death."
Xu Qingzhi: Well, he must be her biological brother.
