Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan returned to the village chief's house, and Assistant Han had already finalized the donation.Although it didn't take long to come here, Assistant Han sorted out everything. Granny Yuan has always been eccentric, knowing that she will be raised by the elders in the future, and everything is for the elders. When Yuan Ning's father was admitted to university, he didn't want Yuan Ning Dad went to school, but people in the village couldn't see it, so you and I collected the tuition together.Yuan Ning's father remembered the kindness of the people in the village, and went home to teach for seven or eight years. They brought out the two college students in the village now.

Although the Yuan family village has the eccentric eyes of Grandma Yuan, there are also many people who are worth helping.The road for the Zhang family to donate is not long, as long as the road is on the right road that the developer is going to repair, Assistant Han can make his own decisions.After roughly estimating the money needed in his mind, Assistant Han set a number for the old village chief, and settled the matter neatly.

The two sides reunited and were ready to board the car and go back.The old village chief asked them to eat, but Zhang Xiuyan refused.He was deeply impressed by the disturbance caused by Yuan's grandma at noon, and he didn't want Yuan Ning to encounter that kind of thing again—especially seeing Yuan Ning'an watching quietly, as if he was used to that kind of thing, Zhang Xiuyan was even more reluctant Yuan Ning was forced to face it again.

"Getting used to it" is not something to be happy about.

Zhang Xiuyan knows better than anyone how much pain he has to go through to "get used to it".

The second uncle of the Yuan family had heard that Yuan Ning and the others had returned, and had always wanted to come over, but was entangled by the widow and the child.The widow also heard about it, and the second aunt Yuan Ning also came back together. The woman changed completely after entering the city. She was still the same person, but she became able to take care of herself. The tail is curled up, similar to the female stars in newspapers and magazines.No matter how old you are, you are still acting coquettish like this, I'm really not ashamed!

Cursing in her heart, the widow was still afraid that the second uncle of the Yuan family would be tempted by seeing it, so she firmly restrained the second uncle of the Yuan family from seeing Yuan Ning and the others.Men are like this, the more you don't let him do something, the more he wants to do it.The second uncle of the Yuan family agreed, and ran over when he had time.He happened to see Second Aunt Yuan Ning getting into the car, and he froze for a moment.Is that the ex-wife he used to get along day and night?

Compared with the fat figure of the widow after giving birth, Second Aunt Yuan Ning was still slim after giving birth to Yuan Bo and Yuan Guang.Her face doesn't look old, she used to be afraid of wasting shampoo, her hair was cut very short, her clothes were dusty, and she never wore skirts, which made her look like a yellow-faced woman.

But it's completely different now, because she doesn't have to do heavy and dirty work, and basically takes care of the storefront, so she wears a well-tailored long skirt inside and a silver-white coat on the outside, which accentuates her figure.The long hair over the shoulders is soft and smooth, which makes her look younger by many years, not at all like a mother of two children.

What's more, she still looks so gentle, as if she will still be as hard-working as she was back then--she will find a way to make up for the money after he loses a bet, and will drink a glass of strong drink when he is drunk. of tea.In comparison, he seems to be living in hell now!How could he fall in love with such a fierce woman and abandon such a good woman?

The eyes of the second uncle of the Yuan family seemed to have taken root, and they couldn't move away from the second aunt Yuan Ning.When he came back to his senses and wanted to go up to call for someone, he realized that the car door was tightly closed, and the sound of the car starting was amplified dozens of times in his ears, bombarding his heart rumblingly, and completely lost his soul .

When the widow heard the news, she knew something was wrong when she saw the second uncle of the Yuan family, so she burst into tears on the spot, sitting and rolling on the ground with her son in her arms: "You heartless, I gave birth to you Son, you are still thinking about that yellow-faced woman! What did you say when you married me? You are a thunderbolt!" That sassy gesture and sharp tone are exactly the same as Yuan's grandma!

The others gloated and left with smiles on their faces.This second uncle of the Yuan family has no eyes, he threw away the pearl and picked up a fish's eye, and now he deserves all of this!

The second uncle of the Yuan family noticed the ridicule of others, and then looked at the widow with disheveled hair and the youngest son who was crying along with him, he was so angry that he almost lost his breath.He stomped his feet and cursed: "It's a shame! It's a shame!" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and dragged the widow back, lest she lose all of her face.

Yuan Guang lay on the car window watching such a farce, then turned his head and asked Yuan Bo: "Brother, is it because of such a woman that he doesn't want mother and us?"

"Yes, it's just for such a woman." Yuan Bo didn't look back like Yuan Guang did, and knew exactly what happened.It's nothing more than someone regretting it, someone panicking, and they will make a noise in the future!Does regret work?Does palpitation help?I really regret it, what did you do early?I'm really flustered, shouldn't I have expected this day when I seduced a married man?Yuan Bo taught Yuan Guang, "In the future, you have to keep your eyes open, don't be blind like him."

Yuan Guang nodded seriously.

In another car, Zhang Xiuyan and Yuan Ning were still holding the urn in their arms.Zhang Xiuyan said: "It will still be very bumpy after a while, can you hold it steady?"

Yuan Ning couldn't help protesting: "Brother, I'm almost ten years old." He is no longer a child!

Zhang Xiuyan looked at Yuan Ning's serious little face, and didn't speak any more.All children are like this. When they grow up a little or two years old, they feel that they are already adults.But in their eyes, they are still young -- they are still so young, it is difficult to make people feel at ease and at ease in whatever they do.Zhang Xiuyan said: "Then sit down."

Yuan Ning nodded.

The car drove to the entrance of the village and suddenly slowed down.Zhang Xiuyan looked up at the driver.The driver stepped on the brake, pointed to the front and said, "There is someone ahead."

Yuan Ning looked in the direction the driver pointed, and saw a group of students wearing different school uniforms. They were all different ages, and they were all standing there panting. Their foreheads were covered with sweat, and their faces were slightly red. They seemed to be running all the way. back.The mountain road is so long that they have to walk for two or three hours to come back from the town. Generally speaking, it is already dark when they come back.Now the sky is still bright, and the sun has not yet set, but they all rushed back.

The oldest student came forward leading the others.

Zhang Xiuyan asked the driver to roll down the window.

The student's eyes were red, he looked at Yuan Ning and Zhang Xiuyan, and then at the urn they were holding in their arms, tears streaming down his face.He wiped away his tears, choked up and said, "I heard someone say today that you come back to pick up the teacher and they go away. We will hurry back and have a look."

The other students' eyes were red, and they didn't say a word, they just looked at the two small urns quietly.Such a tall and kind person in memory ended up staying in such a small jar—even after death, he couldn’t sleep peacefully in his homeland.It's all because of poverty!It’s all because they are too poor, financially poor, and intellectually poor, they can’t go out, and people outside are unwilling to come in, so they are getting more and more isolated, poorer, and less able to compare with people outside.

So work hard!Everyone remembered what Yuan Ning's father and Yuan Ning's mother said.

It is because of this, so we must work hard!

Work hard to learn knowledge, try to narrow the gap, and work hard to go out!Go out by yourself before you can lead others out!

The oldest student cried and said, "Take the teacher away, it's getting dark, it's not good to drive at night."

The other students made way silently out of the village entrance.

The car drove forward slowly.

"goodbye teacher!"

A weeping yell came from behind.

Messy but tidy.

The students chased the car and ran until the car drove farther and farther and they could no longer catch up. Then they stood still and propped up their knees, letting the tears keep falling, and said their final goodbyes with sobs: "Teacher goodbye."

The villagers who had come to watch the excitement at the entrance of the village saw this scene, and their hearts seemed to be lightly beaten by something.Their whole life may be over like this, there is no future to speak of, and it is even more impossible to get out of this narrow and backward place.But there was a man who once went out, but came back with his wife. After coming back for many years, some people laughed at him, and some people persuaded him to leave, but he remained steadfast, as if he would spend his whole life in the same place. Take root in this barren land.He has indeed devoted his whole life and his life.

But instead of taking root, he is sowing.

Sow the seeds and cherish them.

Now, the seeds have broken through the ground and are thriving.

There was no hope for such a place.

Now, I can see it.

Before it was dark, the driver drove Yuan Ning and his party to the town and found a hostel to stay.Zhang Xiuyan took Yuan Ning to put down the urn of Yuan Ning's parents, washed his hands, had dinner, and rested overnight in the town.Early the next morning, they said goodbye to Yuan Bo, mother and son.Before leaving, Zhang Xiuyan left a number for Aunt Yuan Ning: "You can contact me when you arrive in the capital. I will be at home when I am not in class."

From the south to the north, it takes at least one day and one night's journey.The driver and Assistant Han took turns driving and did not arrive home until noon on the third day.The whole family was waiting at home. Seeing that Yuan Ning was in good spirits and not too sad, they felt relieved.After eating, the family sent the ashes of Yuan Ning's parents to the cemetery together, and moved the ashes of Yuan Ning's parents into the urn with the help of the staff.

Yuan Ning stared at the tombstone that had already been prepared, and suddenly felt a coolness on his face.He looked up and saw thin snow falling from the gray sky.

It's winter, it's time for snow.

Yuan Ning has been in the north for more than two years, and he has stopped making a fuss about the snowflakes, but the black-eared cat following his feet has all his fur bristled, watching the snowflakes falling in front of him with extreme vigilance.

Seeing the snowflakes drifting towards the two newly erected tombstones, the cat raised its paws to slap them away.But as soon as its paws slapped it, the little snowflakes melted on its meat pads, making it wet and icy, making its face full of confusion.

Yuan Ning bent down and picked up the cat: "Xiao Hei, those are snowflakes, just like rain, they have no evil intentions."

The cat is not used to being held by people, so he twisted his body, and stopped twisting when he saw that other children were looking at him curiously, and obediently lay in Yuan Ning's arms.It had a hunch that if it hadn't been held by Yuan Ning, it might have fallen into the hands of these guys—the gleam in the eyes of these guys made it feel bad: they would definitely make something that it didn't like. Things like rubbing its head, kissing it and hugging it.

Children in the city are always so strange!

After Yuan Ning said goodbye to his parents' tombstone with the cat in his arms, he followed Zhang Xiuyan and the others back home.Zhang Xiuyan had already asked for three days off for moving the tomb, and there was no longer any delay.The more famous the university and the more you can learn things, the stricter the requirements, and you may have to make up for a long time if you miss three days of courses.Yuan Ning wanted to send Zhang Xiuyan to the train station, but Zhang Xiuyan refused. Zhang Xiuyan drove him into the room, told him to have a good rest, and went out with his backpack on his back.

Yuan Ning wanted to go out and watch Zhang Xiuyan go, but he didn't want Zhang Xiuyan to think that he was disobedient, so he could only lie down obediently on the bed, close his eyes and enter the "dream".The air in the dream seems to be better than before, it feels moist, but not sticky, and it smells fresh and nice.

Yuan Ning said hello to Yu'er and ran over to the ivory.Ivory was enjoying the sunbath and didn't speak, but the ginseng babies ran over, circled Yuan Ning a few times, and dragged Yuan Ning to see the "experimental field".

Some of the seeds that Yuan Ning brought in last time had already grown very tall. He identified them carefully and found that they were a kind of medicinal material called Aescin. The stems were very strong and the leaves grew wide. The leaves hold a big fruit.The fruit is like a lantern, with sharp edges and corners. Some of them are already ripe, and the whole fruit explodes, revealing the red seeds inside.

Yuan Ning was extremely surprised: "It grows so fast!"

The ginseng babies proudly stretched their green leaves, their round and chubby bodies were full of joy: "Of course! Of course!"

Yuan Ning knew that they wanted to be praised by him, so he boasted sincerely: "You are really amazing."

The ginseng baby encouraged Yuan Ning: "Dig, dig, dig!" They knew that this kind of medicinal material was the same as them, and that it was its rhizome that was useful.

Yuan Ning was distressed: "But it has grown so much, where should I dig it out?"

Baby Ginseng was also lost in thought.Yuan Ning is really too young to build a warehouse outside. Even if there is output in the dream, there is no way to take it outside. It’s okay to have less, and it can be said that it was brought back from the outside. There is too much and there is no way to deal with it. .

Seeing that they were at a loss, Ivory couldn't help saying: "Then let's dry it here, and the remaining stems and leaves can be used as fertilizer. The plants here grow fast and decompose quickly, as long as they are spread on the soil surface, and when you wake up they're part of the dirt again."

Yuan Ning was surprised: "Is that so?"

Ivory said, "Try it and you'll know?"

Babies of ginseng have always believed in the words of ivory. They go together in twos and threes, pull out the seven leaves and flowers that are a few heads taller than them one by one, quickly twist off their stems, leaves and roots, and put the dug out rhizomes in the garden. to the side.

Yuan Ning saw that the baby ginseng was getting busy, so she also went to help pull out those tall horse chestnuts.The soil in the dream is moistened by spring water, and it feels as moist as ointment when stepped on, soft and very comfortable.

Yuan Ning was working seriously when he suddenly heard a sharp meow.

Yuan Ning was taken aback.

The baby ginsengs were so frightened that they threw the rhizomes in their hands, and ran towards Yuan Ning, trembling, and all looked at the pair of black ears that appeared among the green leaves.

Seeing those black ears, Yuan Ning shouted in surprise: "Xiao Hei!"

Xiao Hei jumped out from the branches and leaves.It looked at the trembling ginseng babies, and after confirming that they had no ability to harm people at all, it restrained its fierce aura.

Xiao Hei looked at Yuan Ning, his eyes were full of confusion, as if he was asking Yuan Ning why he was here.

Yuan Ning said: "This is my dream." After Yuan Ning finished speaking, he was a little uncertain, "But it is different from ordinary dreams, I can bring what I want to bring in here, and I can also bring things in it. Take out the things from here! But except for me, you can’t take away the things here, last time Zhaofu wanted to bring some spring water to Grandpa Xie, it can’t come in again.” Referring to Mr. Xie, Yuan Ning was a little bit Sad, "Thank you grandpa, he is very good, it's a pity you didn't come to the north earlier, otherwise you would have seen it. You have seen Zhaofu, it is the big dog who greeted you today... "

Xiao Hei listened to Yuan Ning talking non-stop, lying on the side to listen, and waited for Yuan Ning to finish speaking before turning around and walking towards the pond.There were footprints of wild boars by the pond, Xiao Hei followed the footprints for a while, and found six wild boars hiding aside.The wild boar howled twice, and surrounded Xiao Hei with its head, which meant...they liked Xiao Hei very much?Yuan Ning was a little uncertain.

Xiao Hei walked around the pond to the other side and reached the spring.Spotting the fish swimming around the spring, Xiao Hei looked straight, squinted his eyes and grabbed it with his claws, the fish was startled, and hurriedly hid under the water to prevent Xiao Hei from catching him .

Yuan Ning hurried over and said to Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei, fish are our good friends, you can't eat them!"

Xiao Hei withdrew his claws and glanced at Yuan Ning.

Obviously Xiao Hei didn't speak, but Yuan Ning understood its meaning.

"Why is there nothing I can eat in your dream?"

"..."

Yuan Ning looked at the little wild boars hiding aside, and understood that they probably didn't like Xiao Hei, but were begging Xiao Hei for mercy, telling Xiao Hei not to eat them!Yuan Ning assured Xiao Hei: "You can't eat the food here. Aunt Shen and I will fry small fish for you after we go out!"
