Song Chenyang suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, have you asked the landlord about the house? When will you vacate it?"
"The landlord said there's no rush. It's okay to wait until the college entrance examination results come back before I can refund. Don't we still have to fill in the application form? We can refund then."
"Okay, then I'm leaving!"
After packing up, Song Chenyang picked up his schoolbag and left calmly.
In 2006, at the old county station, there were buses to the towns below every time. The college entrance examination had just ended, and there were quite a few students going home. Song Chenyang waited for a long time, but could not grab a seat.
After all, mentally I am a forty-year-old person, and I really can’t do it shamelessly competing for a seat with a middle school student.
In the end, I had no choice but to stand in the car. Fortunately, it was not far from home, only half an hour's drive away.
On the way home, Song Chenyang was still very excited.
I remember not going home for two years.
Song Chenyang's family is located in Beihe Town, below Jingyuan County. The town is surrounded by mountains on both sides, with the Yellow River flowing through it. In summer, the valley is full of greenery and the scenery is beautiful.
"Master! Stop at the intersection ahead!"
Seeing the alley in front of his house, Song Chenyang quickly shouted to the driver to stop.
After getting off the bus and walking into the alley, Song Chenyang looked at the familiar things around him, and his heart was filled with waves again.
When he was approaching the door of his house, Song Chenyang saw his grandma and several neighbors chatting about Tianna shoes under the big locust tree in front of his house.
"The college students are back!"
After seeing Song Chenyang from a distance, the neighbor's sixth aunt shouted to Song Chenyang with a smile on her face.
"Aunt Six, are you cold?"
Song Chenyang greeted politely.
When Song Chenyang's grandma looked up and saw her eldest grandson returning home, a kind smile instantly appeared on her face, and she said with a smile: "You're back?"
A bright smile suddenly appeared on Song Chenyang's face and he said, "I'm back, baby!"
At this time, the grandma was only 60 years old, with black hair and good health. She even looked like she was only in her fifties.
Because grandma only had a son like Song Chenyang's father, grandma had been very fond of Song Chenyang, her only eldest grandson, since she was a child.
As the saying goes, the eldest grandson is the lifeblood of grandparents, and this is reflected in his own grandparents.
Grandma quickly put down the half-filled shoe soles, stood up and said with a smile: "The rice is in the pot, I'll heat it up for you."
Song Chenyang didn't stop him. For the elderly, wouldn't it be a kind of satisfaction to be able to let his grandson eat the food he cooked?
Why should we deprive the elderly of this happiness?
Song Chenyang greeted his neighbor, Aunt Six, and others, and followed them through the door of his house.
There are five large red brick and tiled houses, three of which are facing the main door, and the main room in the middle, which is used to entertain guests and live in.
On both sides of the main room are the wing rooms, which are used for people to live in.
There are two rooms on the east side, one is the east room, used for living, and the other is the kitchen.
Song Chenyang returned to the east room and put down his schoolbag, then left the room and stood in the yard, looking at everything familiar in the yard. The sound of grandma's hot dishes in the kitchen was heard in his ears, and he felt in his heart that this kind of life was a bit unreal. .
Have you really come back?
It's great. Such a warm scene has always been in my dreams in my previous life, and it is also the scene I miss the most.
I hope all this is true!
"Come and eat!"
At this time, grandma's voice came from the kitchen.
"Coming!"
Song Chenyang replied and quickly entered the kitchen.
Knowing that today's eldest grandson came home after the college entrance examination, the dishes were extra rich. A plate of slightly burnt home-style fried tofu, a plate of fried meat with celery, a large bowl of scrambled eggs with leeks, and bright yellow free-range eggs made Song Chenyang's appetite whet his appetite. Adding a plate of cold cucumbers, Song Chenyang picked up the rice and couldn't wait to eat it.
It still smells familiar!
Song Chenyang couldn't help but his eyes turned slightly red while eating the meal he had longed for.
Contented! Very contented!
Grandma sat on the edge with a smile, watching her eldest grandson eat with a kind face.
"How did the exam go?"
After looking at it for a long time, grandma couldn't help but ask.
After all, in the northwest rural areas at this time, it would be a great joy for any family to have a college student. Education in the northwest is still very backward. There are more than 40 people in a class, and normally only five or six people can pass the undergraduate examination. , the enrollment rate is extremely low.
Moreover, because urban students have the advantage of more resources, they account for half of the people who pass the exam. Therefore, if a rural family can have a college student, it will be very good.
When Song Chenyang heard this, he looked up at his grandma and replied with a smile: "Not bad, extraordinary performance."
"That's good, that's good."
After hearing this, grandma smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed.
Song Chenyang raised his head and asked curiously: "My father and mother are busy in the store?"
Grandma replied with a smile: "Well, the fields have been watered recently, and there are a lot of people buying fertilizers."
"Then I'll go help after dinner."
Grandma comforted her with a smile: "No, you just finished the exam, just rest at home."
Song Chenyang smiled and said: "I didn't get up until eleven in the morning. I was very energetic! There is nothing to do at home anyway."
"That's okay!"
"Milk, are there any more steamed buns?"
When grandma saw this, she suddenly asked with some doubts: "Why do you eat so much? It's been three bowls of rice and you're still not full?"
Song Chenyang explained: "Maybe he has made a breakthrough in martial arts and his appetite has increased!"
When grandma heard this, she didn't ask any more questions and went to get steamed buns for her grandson. She couldn't starve her grandson anyway.
After eating, grandma was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Song Chenyang left the house alone. He said hello again to Aunt Six and others who were still enjoying the cool weather at the door, and walked towards the town.
The store is not far from home, only about ten minutes away, and the streets in the town are only a few hundred meters long.
There are mostly bungalow storefronts on both sides of the street, occasionally with a few small second-floor buildings, but it is also quite lively, with all kinds of storefronts, and people coming and going.
Fengsheng Agricultural Supplies Store occupies two shops, one is smaller but also 40 to 50 square meters, and sells pesticides, seeds and other items. In addition, there is a cashier.
The other one is larger, six to seventy square meters, and mainly contains fertilizers, farm tools, etc. The two stores are connected in the middle.
Song Chenyang walked into the fertilizer store and saw a woman under forty sitting behind the cashier. She had a dignified appearance, fair complexion, and shiny black hair in a ponytail. She was working on a computer with her head down, calculating something.
Song Chenyang's lips moved when he saw this, but the words came to his lips but he couldn't come out.
Looking at his busy mother, Song Chenyang's eyes grew warm again. In the last life, after his father completed a set of projects, the boss took the money and ran away.
My father advanced millions of dollars and ended up not getting the project money back, which put the whole family in trouble.
From that time on, my mother began to go out to work with my father to pay off debts. Several years of hard work also caused many physical ailments.
"mom!"
After a long time, Song Chenyang adjusted his mood and shouted softly to the woman.
The woman raised her head and saw the young man in front of her, and her eyes instantly showed a look of surprise.
Zhang Feng said with a smile on his face: "Back? My son."
A bright smile appeared on Song Chenyang's face, and he nodded: "Well, I'm back!"
"How was your test? How many points did you get?"
Zhang Feng quickly asked, looking at his son with eyes full of expectation.
Song Chenyang looked at his mother's expectant eyes and said with a smile: "It's very good, about 600 points! I should be able to get into the first line."
Hearing such an answer, Zhang Feng was instantly surprised. He looked at his son and confirmed again: "Really?"
Song Chenyang smiled and nodded.
When Zhang Feng saw this, he was almost so happy that he couldn't find the north anymore.
At this time, a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old suddenly ran over to the entrance of the passage connecting the fertilizer store.
The little girl is wearing a school uniform and a red scarf. She has a fair face, short hair, a mushroom head shape, and neat bangs that go over her eyebrows. She is very cute and beautiful.
"elder brother!"
Seeing Song Chenyang, the little girl immediately ran towards Song Chenyang with a happy face and shouted to him loudly.
The voice was pleasant to the ear, and the two big and smart eyes narrowed into a crescent shape when smiling, which was very endearing.
Seeing this, Song Chenyang rubbed the hair of the little girl who ran to him. The soft and smooth touch suddenly made Song Chenyang's heart stir again.
