Chapter 2 Going Home
Zhang Huawei was walking on the gravel road leading to the countryside under the scorching sun. He was already sweating profusely. As he walked, Zhang Huawei thought that he would definitely not be able to pass the college entrance examination. What should he do in the future? After thinking about it, he could not think of a solution.
Therefore, he was unwilling to let himself farm at home for the rest of his life just like his father and brother. Zhang Huawei became more and more irritable and irritable, and finally ran to the roadside and leaned against a big tree.
Dashu sat down and stared blankly at the white clouds in the sky. After a while, Zhang Huawei said to himself: "Oh, I'm so sorry for my family. In order for me to study, the whole family has to live frugally.
But in the end, I didn't get into college. How could I face my parents, brothers and sisters? How could I live up to their expectations of me? What should I do in the future? What should I do?"
After a while, Zhang Huawei seemed to have made up his mind, and said firmly: "I must behave like a good person, no longer let my parents down, and let my family live a good life." After saying this, he stood up.
He stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and walked towards home with firm steps.
At a little after seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Huawei finally walked home. It was not dark yet, and summer nights came later. Zhang Huawei's home was built with mud brick walls. There were five main rooms and side rooms on both sides.
There are two rooms. The roof of the main house is made of small green tiles, while the roofs of the side houses on both sides are made of wheat straw. There is a courtyard dam in front of the house, about 100 square meters, and then built from the side houses on both sides.
A wall about 1.67 meters high was built. The wall was built from both sides to the middle of the main room, leaving a hole of about 2 meters. Then a door of about 2.5 meters was built on the hole. At the door
A small roof was built on it, which is called Longmen in the countryside. There are two jujube trees as big as bowls beside the wall. At this time, the jujube trees are already covered with small green jujubes, and there is another jujube tree.
The persimmon trees and two orange trees are covered with green fruits. In addition, my sister planted a rose next to the dragon gate. The vermilion flowers are in full bloom at the moment, which looks very beautiful. At this time, the family has begun to
While cooking dinner, the smoke from the kitchen rises and then slowly floats around the house. It looks like a fairyland on earth, very poetic.
Zhang Huawei looked at the house in front of him with moist eyes. This is his home. No matter he is poor or rich, this is his home and where his roots lie. When Zhang Huawei was sighing at the door of the courtyard, he saw his grandma coming out of the kitchen.
When she came out, grandma was already in her sixties, with gray hair tied in a bun behind her head. She was wearing gray clothes that had been washed white. Grandma looked energetic and very capable.***
Her name is Dong Minghua, and people in the village call her Aunt Dong. Zhang Huawei saw his grandma coming out and shouted quickly: "Grandma, I'm back." Then the grandma saw Zhang Huawei standing at the door of the courtyard and said, "Oh, it's my good grandson who's back.
Come on, let grandma see if you have lost weight." Because he had to take the college entrance examination, Zhang Huawei came back very little in the last semester. Grandma came over and touched Zhang Huawei's face, and touched it from head to toe several times before Zhang Huawei said again.
: "My dear grandson, you have lost weight and become darker again. I feel so sorry for grandma." "Grandma, I am not thin, I still look like that. Haha." "When I say you are thin, you are thin. You are so small."
How can a baby take care of himself outside? It would be strange if he is not thin." "Grandma, I miss you, are you okay?" "Okay, okay, it will be great if grandma is happy to see you back." "Grandma,
What are my parents, sisters and brothers doing?" "They are weeding corn in the field, which is in the south of the village. You go and hand them over to finish their work and come back for dinner." "Okay, I'll be there right away.
"
When Zhang Huawei went to the fields, he met many people from the village on the road. Zhang Huawei greeted them all warmly. In the middle of the village, he also met Zhang Shaotang, the village party secretary. The village party secretary and Zhang Huawei are from the same family. According to seniority, Zhang Huawei is called the village party secretary.
When the uncle and the village party secretary saw Zhang Huawei, he shouted: "Xiaowei, you are back. Come over here and let me have a chat with you." Zhang Huawei had no choice but to walk over: "Uncle, what can I do for you? I still need to go to see you."
My parents are back for dinner." "You brat, I won't waste much time by chatting with you." "Okay, uncle, you go ahead and tell me, I'm listening." "Xiaowei, you graduated.
Well, how did you do in the exam? Can you go to college?" "Uncle, I didn't do well in the exam, so I probably won't be able to go to college." "Oh, that's okay. If you can't pass, just come back. You are ours now.
He is the most educated person in the village. When you come back, your uncle will ask you to come to the village committee to help out. He will take over the position of village party secretary in two years. The uncle is also old and has no education. It will be a bit difficult to be the village party secretary.
Xiaowei, do you think this is okay?" "Thank you, uncle, I don't know now. I'll tell him after thinking about it, okay." "Okay, uncle is waiting for your reply."
After talking to the village party secretary, Zhang Huawei came to his family's field in the south of the village. He saw his parents, brother, and sister all sweating profusely in the cornfield about half a person high, hoeing grass. Seeing the family working so hard, he thought about it.
His grades were so unsatisfactory, Zhang Huawei felt guilty in his heart, and he vowed once again in his heart that he must behave differently in the future to prevent his family from working so hard. When he walked to the ground, Zhang Huawei also adjusted himself
Hearing his emotions, he shouted with a smile: "Dad, mom, brother, sister, I'm back." Hearing Zhang Huawei's cry, the whole family straightened up and looked at Zhang Huawei. The first one to speak was his sister Zhang Huali.
Zhang Huali is twenty years old this year. She is about 1.60 meters tall, has a well-proportioned figure, and a fair face. Although she cannot be regarded as a big beauty, she can definitely be called a little beauty. A girl of her age
, in rural areas, we basically talk about friends, and let her husband live in her husband's family. My sister may be in a high-spirited mood, but she still hasn't talked about friends.
When my sister saw Zhang Huawei, she shouted: "You damn little brother, you won't come back for a month or two. I miss you so much. Do you miss my sister spanking you? You dare not come back for so long." At this time, my mother
Someone said to the side: "Okay, okay, isn't Xiaowei back? What are you yelling about?" The mother's name is Li Suhua, a typical rural woman. Neither father nor brother spoke at this time, but they were worried
The smiles on their faces revealed their mood at this time.
My father's name is Zhang Shaowen. Although my father's name means he is very educated, he himself is not very educated, only has an elementary school education. My father usually doesn't talk much and is always taciturn. Maybe it is due to the pressure of the heavy burden of life. My brother
Zhang Huajun is 18 years old. He has the same personality as his father and doesn't talk much. But he has nothing to say about his relationship with Zhang Huawei. He always gives in to Zhang Huawei in everything. Zhang Huawei has been naughty since he was a child. When he was young, his brother often fought with others because of Zhang Huawei.
He is just not good at expressing his emotions with words. Just like when Zhang Huawei was bullied by others when he was a child, his brother would not comfort him with words. He just went to find a fight with the person who bullied Zhang Huawei. Therefore, Zhang Huawei also has considerable feelings for his brother.
Deeply, in Zhang Huawei's heart, his brother's status has almost caught up with his father's status in his own heart.
Zhang Huawei said to his parents: "Mom, Dad, grandma asked me to call you home for dinner." His father looked at the queen and said, "Okay, it's getting dark soon, let's call it a day." Zhang Huawei has been waiting on the ground.
When I saw my sister approaching, I walked up to my sister with a playful smile and said, "Sister, you are getting more and more beautiful. I don't know who is lucky enough to be my brother-in-law, haha." My sister stretched out her hand.
He grabbed Zhang Huawei's ear and said: "Damn Xiaowei, if you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I will tear off your ears."
But Zhang Huawei exaggeratedly shouted: "Mom, look at my sister beating me, you don't care at all." His mother said with a smile on the side: "You just deserve to be beaten. You made your sister angry as soon as you came back. You deserve it."
Let’s clean it up.” The father watched from the side. Although he didn’t speak, his eyes were full of joy when he saw his children looking happy.
When the family got home, it was already dark, and grandma had already prepared the meal and put it on the table. The dishes were very simple, including fried vegetables, boiled radish, and steamed egg drop with eggs. The family sat down
After meeting Zhuo, Zhang Huawei looked at his father and said, "Dad, why don't you drink some wine?" His father actually likes to drink a little wine, but because he is not financially well-off, his father rarely drinks. His father said: "Drink."
Order it, then drink less." Zhang Huawei looked at his brother again and said, "Brother, don't you drink some?" "No, I won't drink." His brother still said concisely and concisely. The family started to eat, Zhang Huawei's heart
It's a bit strange why no one asked him how he did in the exam when he came back today. Even his sister, who usually talks the most, didn't ask, so it seemed even more strange. In fact, Zhang Huawei didn't know that his father was talking to the whole family today.
He said hello: "Don't mention the exam when Xiaowei comes back. Just pretend it's nothing like that. Don't bring it up when the time comes and make Xiaowei sad. Because Xiaowei said he might not be able to get into college, so who will do it when Xiaowei comes back?"
