“Not coming after you, are you?”

Ye Qin held the wooden pile of the roadside fence, turned his head to see the big yellow dog that had disappeared, and long relieved his breath.

Just after being chased for a while, the aunt of the middle neighbor saw that with a broom, the big yellow dog should be called back, otherwise... Ye Qin shook his head, even if he used to run the fastest in junior high school, but he could not run on four legs.

The bamboo basket and straw hat were still in Chen Zixi's hand, and Ye Qin was not in a hurry to look back and look for it, ready to go home first.Grandpa got the letter of admission to Xiu Shui II, which he really did not know how to face it.

He naturally wanted to go to school, but the second old man, want to provide him to go to high school is not easy, junior high school last year tuition is working outside the uncle sent money to him.

Along the Loess Road, and walked for a while, far away Ye Qin saw a leafy wooden tree, covered a large lush lush.This tree, that is, the laurel tree, the variety is cinnamon, according to the grandfather's statement has nearly hundreds of thoughts, the trunk of two people together thick and thin.Every year from September to October, the cinnamon blossoms, and the rich aroma can be smelled even from a few hundred meters away.

Moreover, at that time, Ye Qin and his grandparents would lay a bamboo mat under the tree to dry rice, and the little aunt's family or uncle would come back, and everyone took the bamboo pole or people to climb the tree and start playing laurel.

The county flower in Xiushui County is laurel, and the laurel tree on the doorstep of Grandpa Ye Qin is quite famous in several surrounding villages.Every year at that time, selling cinnamon can benefit from selling cinnamon.People who buy back make cinnamon tea, cinnamon cake and the like, which is a lot of use.There is a Kizu-door in the first month, and a cup of cinnamon sugar water is essential and is a festive.

Behind the wooden tree is an old house with a low red brick and rammed earth wall, with green red walls, hidden in the green branches.

Compared with the wooden trees, the house was naturally built later, but for some years, it has become somewhat old, but it is clean and neat inside and outside the courtyard.

“Grandma, I’m back.”

As soon as Ye Qin entered the courtyard, he saw an old woman with silver thread sitting in the shade of peeling beans.Farmer's edamame is not the kind of shell cooked together in the night market, with a beer and drink or something, but to leave fresh beans in the shell, and stir-fry with some green peppers, which is a good dish.If there is a meat and a little more, it is a delicious appetizer, which is one of the best vegetables in summer.

“Where’s your hat and basket?”Liu Lanzhi looked at Ye Qin's hands empty, and the straw hat that went out in the morning was also flying, and suddenly asked strangely.

"There's Chen Zixi."Ye Qin went to the water tank in the yard, picked up the wood clawed the water, and wiped his face.

“Come on, come and get it back.”

Liu Lanzhi's vicissitudes of the face floated a hint of thorns, pointing to Ye Qin, "all told you not to take her around, the sun is so big, what to do with the heat stroke, her mother hates us very much, the last time at the door of the door is not good to listen, you..."

"I know, I know."

Ye Qin smiled and went to Liu Lanzhi to squat down, followed also pulled a handful of edible beans to the front, followed by peeling up.

This is not that Grandma does not like Chen Zixi, but Grandma has liked this nanny since childhood, and her family used to have a little delicious food, all of which are saved to others.

But in the past two years, everyone has grown up, Chen Zixi's family is getting better and better, her grandparents do not care, but her mother has muttered several times in private, do not let him and childhood with Chen Zixi around.

And Grandma's sex son Ye Qin actually also knows, very strong, to face, can not be heard by any mouth or wrong, that is, some of the arguments of the attachment to the meeting can not be heard.

Chen Zixi's uncle left Shangyun Village more than ten years ago to go to the big city, with a flexible mind and practical work, in just a few years to make a home, began to know that he only earned money, to nearly two years has been a well-known entrepreneur outside Xiu Shui County.

Chen Zixi's father also followed his uncle to Linzhou a few years ago, and now he is a small boss, the house also bought, the car also bought, some invisible gap Ye Qin himself gradually felt.

Stripped a handful of beans, Ye Qin estimated that Chen Zixi should almost have been home, and no longer listen to Grandma's tidbits, turned out of the house, it was good to hit the bamboo basket wearing a straw hat, all the way to hum the cheerful tone of Chen Zixi.

“Come back soon.”

Ye Qin sent Chen Zixi to the fragrant camphor tree not far from her doorstep, took the straw hat she was wearing, and the straw hat was fanned by him, and the corners were slightly ugly, which would be smoothed by Chen Zixi.

In the shade, it seemed that because of the heat, the girl's face was somewhat rosy, and there were delicate sweat beads hidden in front of her forehead, and a few strands of hair were attached to it.

“Yeqin...” Chen Zixi looked at Ye Qin with his straw hat on his head, carrying a bamboo basket and leaving, suddenly shouting.

“Huh?What happened again?”Ye Qin turned back with some doubt.

Chen Zixi slightly lowered his head, a look of speech and stop, and suddenly bloomed a smile on his face, "It's okay, you go back first."

"Is it all right?"Then I'm gone."Ye Qin picked up his eyebrows and looked at Chen Zixi.

“No, you go back!”Chen Zixi gently shook his head.

“That’s okay.”Ye Qin, a hand slipped the bamboo basket, turned away, just took a few steps, suddenly raised his right hand and waved it, waved his hand, "See you back!"

...

The cicadas know.

Ye Qin walked directly back to his home along the path, and before entering the courtyard door, he heard a loud voice coming out, "Ye Qin was admitted to high school, this is a big deal."A few days later, they shouted to Ming Xia Mingfang, and some of their sisters came back to sit, and I went to the town to ask the boss, and for so many years he was really different...”

"You've got an old bone, you couldn't keep him before, and now you can't control it."Grandma’s voice sounded in the yard.

“Grandfather, grandmother!”

Ye Chin entered the courtyard and shouted to the two old men who were talking.

"Ye Qin is back."

The two old men saw Ye Chin enter the door and stopped talking.

Ye Guandi slightly rickety back, the forehead is very high, compared to Liu Lanzhi, who is cleaning up the leaves on the ground, full of silver, although his hair is not much, but it is black as a young man.

"Well, put the basket on top first, and you'll take it yourself."

With a faint smile on the cheeks of the gully of Ye, he picked up an envelope on the side of the wooden table and handed it to Ye Qin, and a little turbid eyes were hidden.

Ye Qin took the envelope from his grandfather's hand, and he knew that inside he had let Chen Zixi pay attention to the acceptance letter he sent.

Opening the envelope, Ye Qin's hands were unconsciously shaking, inside is a folded color glue plate paper, the cover is a six-story teaching building, which reads the acceptance letter.

The inside page of the notice reads Ye Qin's classmate, junior high school student number...Congratulations on his admission, etc., at the bottom is the middle and time of Xiu Shui II, covered with a red steel seal.

Although I already know that the test play is not particularly ideal, one can not go, the second is ready to give up, but really look at the notice, Ye Qin's mood is still a little excited.

In 2002, the number of high school students in Xiushui County was still not too many.Primary school is nine years of compulsory education, this is nothing to say, although in Xiaoli Town for various reasons primary school junior high school dropouts also have a considerable number of people.

The key is to go up in junior high school, which is the need for high school entrance examination.Xiu Shui County's educational resources, although not as exaggerated as the Midwest, but in the South and other areas there are still several significant gaps.

Like the township middle school in Xiaoli Town, the junior three sessions are basically three or four hundred people, but in the end, only dozens of people can go to high school.According to the admission score line to the county town of one, two no more than fifteen, to go to the other few high school township high school to continue to high school is also more than 30, proportionally, six to one can not reach.

It is said that the college entrance examination is a thousand horses across the single wooden bridge, in fact, in the county and rural areas, the high school entrance examination has screened a large number of people.Either because of grades, or because of family, as well as considering secondary school or technical school or the like, there are not many people who can enter high school.

Just . . .

Ye Qin has been to understand before, to the county high school is not cheap, at this time tuition and fees are more, but also have to stay food.To tell the truth, if there are parents and parents, even if they work in agriculture, they can be used to make it easier.

But he relied on the two old people who had immediately run seven... Ye Qin thought that he felt some headache.

"Lanzhi, make more dishes at noon today, and get out the rice wine from last year."Ye Guandi took out his dry pipe from his waist and sat on the stone bench under the wooden tree, shouting in the direction of the kitchen.

“You know how to eat.”

Liu Lanzhi's voice came out in the kitchen, although it was a complaining tone, but he could still hear the joy in the words.

“Grandfather, I...”

Ye Qin repeatedly looked at the acceptance letter and silently reinstalled him back in the envelope.He looked up at the old man who was pressing the tobacco in the dry pipe, opened his mouth, and some words came to his mouth, but he could not open his mouth.

Ye Guandi pulled a match, smashed his mouth, the pale blue smoke drifted, the voice was slightly low, "you and I will go to the town tomorrow to find your father, you are going to high school, this is a big deal."Either way, he.”

“Grandpa, I’ll go by myself.”

Ye Qin looked at his grandfather, ticked, smoked dry smoke, and remembered their relationship, some could not bear it.

“Are you going alone?You can't go."

Ye officials first took a few mouths of tobacco in the pipe, knocked on the sole plate of soot, and there was a little more inexplicable meaning in his eyes.

"Grandpa, let me go by myself, a dozen miles, I ride a bicycle very fast."

Ye Qin also understood the meaning of Grandpa's words, but this school is his own business after all, he did not say, let Grandpa go to say, sure that when the time will be quarreled again.And more than ten miles of road, even if he rides with the elderly, is also a toss.

The old man knocked out the soot in his pipe, and took a small piece of tobacco from the bag hanging under the pipe, pressed it into the pipe, and heard Ye Qin's words, first stopped, then sighed, "You can, how to say it, don't be afraid, this school must be on."

Ye Qin took the envelope that would hold the acceptance letter, gently slapped it on the palm of his hand, and sighed silently.

Grandpa knew the admission letter, his original intention to hide the idea fell short, but the thought to see "that person", but also to him to reach out for money, he really felt that this book did not read.
