Yu Jin said hello to the security guard in the community.
The sun rarely came out today, so he placed a rocking chair and lay in the yard, swaying in the sun.
As a well-established janitor uncle, unlike a temporary worker who worries about losing his job at any time, he lives a free and easy life.
I heard from my father that my uncle was assigned to their unit after he was injured in the army and was transferred to another job.
Since he didn't study much, he was given a relaxing and leisurely job as a janitor, which could be regarded as a kind of pension benefit.
Yu Jin smiled and said, "Uncle Li is shining on the sun again?"
"yes."
The middle-aged man said: "If you don't expose yourself to the sun now, you won't dare to expose it in another month or two."
"Uncle Li, if you keep talking, I'll go home first."
"good."
When Yu Jin returned home, her parents were not at home.
He called his mother and it rang for a long time before he got through.
"Hey, son, are you home?"
"Well, we're here."
"I'm sorry, there are two more surgeries today, so I can't leave. You can order some takeaway for lunch."
Li Qian said apologetically: "Mom will prepare something delicious for you when she comes back tonight."
Yu Jin was used to listening to her mother's noisy voice.
He said: "Mom, let me tell you something."
"What's up?"
Yu Jin said: "On Monday our school will hold a swearing-in meeting before the college entrance examination, as well as a parent-teacher meeting."
"Oh, son, I have a patient who has an appointment for surgery on Monday. I'm afraid it won't work. Just ask your dad to go."
Li Qian said quickly: "Mom is a little busy here, so I won't tell you. I'll hang up."
Toot…
Yu Jin listened to the blind tone with an expressionless face and called her father again.
Yu Donglai asked: "Hey, son, what's the matter?"
"We have a parent-teacher meeting on Monday next week."
"That won't work. We have a meeting at work on Monday and we can't leave. Just ask your mother to go."
Yu Donglai reminded: "Remember to order takeout for lunch, and I will transfer some money to you via WeChat."
"No, I still have money in my phone."
Yu Jin hung up the phone, feeling a little depressed.
Even though they knew I was taking the monthly exam this week, they didn't even ask about my score.
He put the transcript on the coffee table, took a sip of water, then went to the bedroom and started writing Monday's speech.
But I wrote several beginnings in succession, but they were all scrapped.
Just when he was a little irritable, the WeChat video on his phone rang.
When Yu Jin took it out and took a look, she immediately smiled on her face.
He quickly connected.
An old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face appeared on the screen.
Yu Jin called out affectionately: "Grandma~"
…
Jiang Muqing's house smells full of fireworks.
When she got home, her mother was cooking and her father was watching TV in the living room.
Seeing her daughter coming back, her mother Zhang Hui came out of the kitchen, quickly helped her daughter take her schoolbag, and said with a smile: "Why are you back so early today?"
"Aren't you happy that I'm back early?"
"no."
Zhang Hui asked in a low gossip voice: "Are you back with that classmate you like?"
"Um."
Jiang Muqing smiled and said, "Mom, let me tell you, he ranked first in grade again in this monthly exam."
"Wow, really? That's amazing."
Jiang Yan was alone in the living room and felt a little jealous when he saw the two people muttering and laughing at the door of the kitchen.
He said displeased: "What are you two muttering about there? What? Are you afraid that I will know?"
"how come."
Jiang Muqing and her mother looked at each other, and then said loudly to Jiang Yan, "I'm telling my mother that our monthly exam results have come in."
"So fast?"
Jiang Yan said: "Come here quickly and show me the transcript."
"good."
Jiang Muqing came to the living room, took out the report card from her schoolbag, and handed it to her father.
Jiang Yan took it and took a look. He was not surprised, but he was not frightened either.
"Your grades are not much different from your final grade last semester." Jiang Yan said meaningfully: "It seems that the boy who gave you tutoring is not that good after all."
"..." Jiang Muqing.
Zhang Hui retorted: "What do you know? Learning improves slowly.
Do you know that this time I got the first place in the school again? As long as we, Jiang Muqing, continue to study with others, I believe we will definitely improve when we take the college entrance examination. "
"He stopped giving me tutoring."
Jiang Muqing said: "He has given me the method of learning, and I have to rely on myself for the rest of the time."
"..." Zhang Hui.
"By the way, I have something to tell you."
Jiang Muqing said: "The teacher said that our school will hold a swearing-in meeting for the third grade of high school next Monday, and parents will be required to attend, and then there will be a parent-teacher meeting. Which of you has time to go?"
"Of course it's me." Jiang Yan said.
Zhang Hui retorted: "No, I'll go!"
"Why are you going again?"
Jiang Yan looked at the kitchen knife in his wife's hand, raised his eyebrows, gathered up his courage, and said unconvinced: "You were the one to go last time, it should be my turn this time!"
"You have to go to work. I'm a housewife and I have time anyway."
"I can take a day off!"
"It's not okay to ask for leave."
Zhang Hui said: "If you ask for leave and the boss of your company discovers that the company is the same with or without you, you may be unemployed.
Don’t you want your daughter and I to drink the northwest wind? "
"..." Jiang Yan.
Next to her, Jiang Muqing felt filled with happiness when she saw her parents fighting with each other over who should go to the parent-teacher meeting.
Although my family is not wealthy, it is warm and happy.
At this time, she thought of Yu Jin.
I don’t know if my uncle and aunt are at home today?
If he wasn't there, he would be alone at home and would have to order takeout.
It would be great if I could go to his house and cook for him now.
He really likes to eat his own food.
…
Yu Jin had a video chat with her grandma for an hour and talked a lot.
The whole person's mood suddenly became much better.
In the video, he talked about his monthly exam results, the interesting things he encountered in school, and complained about his depression.
He even said a few things about Jiang Muqing.
After hearing this, grandma became very interested in Jiang Muqing and said that if she had the chance, she would take him to show her.
She wanted to see what kind of girl this girl was that her grandson could talk about and praise.
Facing her grandma's request, Yu Jin had no choice but to agree and bring it to her if she had the chance.
At the end of the video, she also said that she secretly left a lot of delicious food for herself and waited for him to eat it when he returned.
After hanging up the phone, Yu Jin rested for a while and then continued writing her speech.
He was not satisfied with how he wrote before, but after chatting with Grandma Zheng, he wrote very smoothly.
Maybe this has something to do with my own mentality and emotions.
The long-term absence of her parents still made Yu Jin feel a little left out deep in her heart.
