Lu Mingkai and Ji Shang stood at the school gate and saw off all the students, "Are there any arrangements for the summer vacation?"

"Yeah." Ji Shang was still elated, but after being asked, he became like a deflated balloon, "I'm going home for a week."

Lu Mingkai: "..."

Ji Shang looked at Lu Mingkai with a troubled expression: "What's wrong?"

"Uh..." Lu Mingkai felt that the words were stuck in his throat, and after a while, "Can you take me?" he finally said it.

After asking, Lu Mingkai looked at Ji Shang's tangled face, and suddenly felt that he could understand the mood of "Is it Shang or not?" when he told "Long Tan Li Ge" that he was facing Ji, and it was really a turn of events...

"Forget it..."

"That's not what I mean, you can't stand the mosquitoes in our countryside in summer." Ji Shang looked at Lu Mingkai with a sorry face: "Why don't you wait for me to come back and take you to visit City C, how about it? "

"Yeah." Lu Mingkai nodded, as if it was not bad.

In the evening, when Ji Shang saw Zhang Qi packing his luggage, he asked what was his plan for this summer vacation.

This year's summer vacation will be longer than usual. Zhang Qi has already bought a flight ticket to go home at the end of May, and he is eagerly waiting to go home.Zhang Qi is from the north, and stayed in City C after graduating from university in City C.He said that he likes City C, but Li Qiang's accent should be from City C, so the truth is unknown.

Zhang Qi hadn't been home for two years. When he first came to school, he had to make up lessons for the students during the summer vacation. There was only one month left after deducting a little here and there. The weather was so hot that he didn't bother to move.The winter vacation is only for 20 days. When the year is over, no matter if it’s a train, train, high-speed rail or plane, it’s not easy to buy tickets. The first few have not been direct, so I didn’t go back.

Ji Shang helped organize some clothes, and was amused by Zhang Qi's logic, "Anyway, you have a reason."

Zhang Qi was noncommittal, "Do you still remember the time when we had the New Year's Eve dinner together?"

"Of course I remember." Zhang Qi didn't go home during Chinese New Year last year, and there were only the two of them in the entire dormitory.Just after dinner, Ji Shang moved out his usual gaming laptop to watch the CCTV Spring Festival Gala live broadcast.Ji Shang played online games quite fiercely in the past two years, and specially assembled a high-end computer.As a result, when watching the Spring Festival Gala, there were still one card and one card, but anyway, it was a bit of a new year.

Just 5 minutes into the start, Zhang Qi's phone rang.It was more than three hours after he hung up the call.

Zhang Qi installed his small laptop, "First my parents, then my grandparents, three aunts and six wives, took turns talking on the phone for almost four hours. How about some of these when I go home?"

Ji Shang shrugged and said nothing, he envied Zhang Qi from the bottom of his heart.He didn't go back during the Chinese New Year, so he called Zhang Qi poor and stayed with him, but it's not sure who is pitiful.

"Are you going back too?" Zhang Qi saw Ji Shang's suitcase in the corner two days ago, and he knew Ji Shang well. It doesn't look like it.

"Ah."

"How long will you be back?"

Ji Shang's eyes darkened, "One week, go back and visit my parents."

Ji Shang bought a ticket for noon, and after having breakfast with Zhang Qi, Ji Shang accompanied Zhang Qi to the train station.After seeing off Zhang Qi, I counted the time and waited for a while at the station before boarding the train.

The village of Ji Shang’s family was also built on the back of the mountain. It is not far from the mountain. The road up the mountain is very difficult, especially one part of it is still walking on the back of the mountain. Two years ago, the villagers raised money and invited talents to work there. Steps were carved out of a section of the road.In fact, it can't be called steps, but grooves have been chiseled one by one, so that people can fall down.

In the past, the method of choosing a cemetery was very simple. You can choose the whole mountain. The sooner you die, the lower the place where you are buried, and the road is easier to walk.

Ji Shang's grandparents were buried halfway up the mountain, but luckily the road is not difficult to walk.And because Ji Shang's parents died accidentally, the villagers said it was unlucky, so they advised Uncle Ji to bury his younger brother and sister-in-law early, so that the family members would not be sad when they saw it.Uncle Ji was also a master without persuasion. After a few words from the villagers, he found someone to pick a relatively quiet place to bury him.

His aunt wasn't interested in these things, and his parents' location was off the beaten track, so Uncle Ji and he usually went to visit the grave.Uncle's health has not been good for the past two years, and Ji Shang is not at home. Uncle Ji went there alone on a rainy day, but he fell before he got there, which seemed to be quite serious.His aunt refused to agree with his uncle to visit the grave.

The scenery outside the window is getting backwards a little bit. When we arrived in the county, we changed to human-powered tricycles. Basically, there are no such things as tricycles in the city, and if there are any, they all use electricity.Ji Shang was carrying a suitcase of luggage, although it might not look heavy, but it was really heavy.He also felt very embarrassed, and paid a few extra dollars when he got off the car.

When I arrived at the township, I took a bullock cart again, and it took me a long time to get to the village.It was already evening when we reached the village.Along the way, I met many familiar people, and Ji Shang still had memories of them.After finally touching the door, before entering, I heard the sound of a baby crying.

Ji Shang was stunned outside for a while, but he was right.

"elder brother."

"Xiao Jing." The person Ji Shang called Xiao Jing was Uncle Ji's youngest daughter, Ji Jing.

"Is this yours, child?"

"Yeah." Ji Jing nodded, "Brother, do you want to hug him?"

Ji Shang waved his hand, "Just hug me, I don't care much."

"Brother, come in first." Ji Jing made way for Ji Shang, "Mom and Dad are out, and they will be back in a while."

"Ah."

As soon as she entered the door, Ji Jing put the baby in her arms into the cradle, "Brother, do you want a drink?"

"White water is fine." Ji Shang also felt quite awkward being called out one by one.Ji Jing has been spoiled by his aunt since he was a child, let alone calling him brother, it would be nice to be able to call him by his first name.

"Brother, drink water." After filling a small bowl with warm water, Ji Jing found a seat and sat down.

Suddenly, Ji Shang asked, "Have you not studied yet?"

"Ah."

Ji Shang glanced at the child lying on the cradle, probably several months old.He would pay back his living expenses every month, especially when his aunt called him a few months ago, which really shocked him.It turned out that Xiao Jing was about to take the exam and needed money to buy review materials, and he was asked to call two thousand more. At that time, because the money was not enough, Ji Shang asked Zhang Qi to borrow some.Thinking about it now, what kind of review materials can cost so much money, not to mention how the iron cock like my aunt would be willing to really spend so much money on any materials.After calculating the time, it was really right.

Ji Shang and Ji Jing chatted without saying a word.After Ji Jing went to high school, she didn't like reading anymore, and she made several friends at school.As a result, in the second year of high school, I fell in love with a boy in the class again, saying that it was because I really liked that boy, and she became pregnant, so she didn't have the heart to study anymore, and she didn't even want to go to school, so I want to marry that man.

The man's parents disagreed. After all, places like rural areas do not accept unmarried children very much.However, the eldest aunt went to other people's houses every day to make troubles, so she was forced to settle down. She was engaged for the time being, saying that she would talk about marriage after the child was born.

When Ji Jing was eight months pregnant, the man went north with his father to work, without saying anything.After the child was born, the eldest aunt also came to look for him several times, but his family insisted that he had gone out to work. In addition, he sent Ji Jing more than 1000 yuan every month, so the eldest aunt had no choice but to go home and wait. caught.

Ji Shang listened and did not speak.That man sounds unreliable at first glance, but everyone has their own destiny, it would be good if they were persuaded to divide, but if the two of them twisted together to deal with him, wouldn't they become people inside and outside?

Ji Jing has really changed a lot, and I don't know if it's because she has become a lot gentler after becoming a mother.The person has also become much older, with a towel tied on his head, and a rural woman's attire.

After more than half an hour, there were footsteps outside the door.It was Ji Jing who stood up first, "Mom and Dad, look who's back."

The uncle's expression didn't change much, he looked at Ji Shang and smiled, "The boy is finally willing to come back."

"Isn't this about making money?" Ji Shang said vaguely, and the uncle treated him very well, and he didn't want to tear his face because of a trivial matter.

"In the future, don't send the money back, we all have enough. It's not easy for you to be outside alone, so keep it for yourself."

"Old Ji!" Aunt Ji and Aunt Ji's faces turned ugly when they heard this, and Auntie poked Uncle's hand on purpose to tell him to stop talking.

"It's okay." Ji Shang waved his hand, and then politely called out to the people beside him, "Auntie."

"You...why, you didn't say it earlier when you came back."

"Forgot." Ji Shang twitched the corners of her mouth, probably what she wanted to say was how she got back?

"Go and cook, Ji Shang must be hungry after coming back from such a long distance." The uncle reminded.

The eldest aunt rolled her eyes and said nothing, "Got it."

"Xiao Jing, please tidy up your sister's room." Then she turned around and said to Ji Shang, "Your sister has gone out to work, so you can feel wronged and sleep in your sister's room tonight."

"Don't worry about it, I'll do it myself." After saying that, he was about to roll up his sleeves.

"It's okay, if you can't do this kind of work, I'll just help you." Ji Jing hurriedly stopped Ji Shang, took a piece of cloth and filled a basin of water, and went to the innermost room.

In the evening, there was no sound at the dining table.The eldest aunt wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by the eldest uncle.

When Ji Shang was about to finish eating, he couldn't help but say, "Ji Shang, do you know about the subsidy in this village?"

"Yeah." Ji Shang slowed down. He only found out about this when he met the village chief on the way here. Seeing how his aunt is now, it is probably because of money again.

"The compensation, it's down. You see, your sister has given birth to a child and the money spent every month is like running water..."

Some time ago, the higher-ups said that it was going to be demolished. It was a good thing to say so, after all, no matter how reluctant this house is, it has been decades. Who doesn’t want to move to the county.But later it was delayed because of another project, and as a result, many places in the village were demolished, and they just hung up and down like this.

In the end, it was reported by the local media because the incident became serious, and the leaders above spoke out under the pressure of public opinion, regardless of whether it was demolished or not.As long as the minimum square footage of the subsidy is reached, compensation will be made according to the floor area of ​​each house.

If only Uncle Ji's part of the square is not enough to reach the minimum compensation line, but adding the part under Ji Shang's name is enough.Although the Ji family's house is basically unfurnished, it can't stand it and the place is quite big.Except for the usual living area, the other parts belong to the earth embryo house.And just enough for the extra compensation line.

It would be great if it was that simple, but when Ji Shang's father said to give his uncle his part, it was only verbal, and there was no real proof.In addition, when an accident happened later, the uncle couldn't bear it, so he told Ji Shang to return that part of the house to Ji Shang.

Ji Shang was still young at the time, so he said that he would talk about it later, so this matter was delayed.

Uncle Ji intends to give all the subsidized money and extra subsidized money to Ji Shang. Naturally, the opinions of the two husband and wife have not been unified.His aunt had never seen Uncle Ji be so persistent, and knew that although his wife usually listened to her in everything, once he made a decision, even ten cows would not be able to pull her back.

"Stop talking, eat."

When Ji Shang saw that his uncle was angry, maybe it was his uncle who couldn't persuade him and came to him to use his brains.

"Then if I don't want to give it."
