"Xixi, have you packed up your stuff?"

In the room of a two-story building, Huang Hongying pulled up the suitcase at hand with a "sharp" and looked around again, shouting towards the other room.

"Okay, OK, mom, aren't you leaving tomorrow? I'll just clean up tonight."

A crisp sound came from the room opposite. Chen Zixi walked out of the room and looked at the busy Huang Hongying and said helplessly.

"You kid, what's going on with you?" Huang Hongying looked at her daughter's indifferent look and seemed a little angry. She put down the suitcase in her hand, walked to Chen Zixi, gently tapped her forehead with her fingers, then went into her daughter's room, started rummaging through the cabinets, and started to clean up.

There were also a few complaints mixed in the sound of folding clothes and turning over cabinets: "Every girl can do things quickly, don't delay. Also, don't forget what you want to bring with you."

"Mom--" Chen Zixi stretched out her tone, grabbed Huang Hongying's arm, and shook it gently, "We will really not come back in the future?"

"It depends on your father and uncle. You will definitely not come back this year. The last time you went to Linzhou, you have been talking about the city."

"But……"

"But what?" Huang Hongying turned her head and stared at her daughter, "You don't want to leave anymore. I tell you, your father has completed the transfer procedures for you. That school is pretty good, it's the key point of the province. Look, in Xiushui, it is the best No. 1 Middle School, and the second-level school meets the standard?"

"I'm not..." Chen Zixi was a little stammered, suddenly his eyes turned and said with a smile, "I can't bear to part with my grandparents..."

"You... your grandparents will also go to Linzhou in a few months. If his two elders can stay outside, they will stay there. It will save us from running around."

Huang Hongying shook her head, too lazy to expose her daughter's little thoughts.

Seven or eight years ago, she and her husband went to Linzhou to work hard with his uncle. The two brothers and sisters-in-law worked together, and finally there was some situation.

I bought a house, got a car, and got a household registration. Compared with many small-scale quarrels who are working or doing business or doing small business, their family is already ahead of the front.

However, although the family situation is very different, her eldest daughter, after Huang Hongying and her husband went to Linzhou, she stayed at home and was taken care of by the two elders because she couldn't take care of her.

Before they knew it, their family stabilized their feet in the city, and their eldest daughter grew up day by day. She was already a 15 or 16-year-old girl. She hadn't taken care of her eldest daughter much in recent years, and she had a guilty conscience. It was really not suitable to keep a place like Xiushui County and the countryside.

In previous years, when I returned to my hometown for the New Year, I occasionally heard from the two elders that my eldest daughter Chen Zixi has loved to sway with Ye Qin from a young age and turn her head and then go down... She couldn't accept it even more.

Huang Hongying has seen some world over the years. Not to mention that she is merciless and utilitarian, but she always hopes that her daughter can live a more relaxed life in the future.

Ye Qin... Huang Hongying couldn't say she was too fond of her. Her parents-in-law liked her very much in her hometown, but after all, everything was hard to say at this age.

When she was young, Huang Hongying didn't care, but she was getting up day by day, and she was really worried about what her daughter and that gangster did. After all, they also came here at this age.

Moreover, if you put the rest aside, it was his family... Guan Di Bo and his aunt were all unspeakable, just that... Huang Hongying didn't want anyone in her family to get involved.

Chen Zixi listened to his mother's explanation that she would leave Xiushui County, Xiaoli, and Shangyun, and his expression was a little complicated for a moment.

Some expectations, some disappointments.

It’s not that she hasn’t been to Linzhou. She had lived in Linzhou for summer and winter vacation last year, and she had a short stay with her grandparents. The feeling of cities and towns was completely different. Although she was still a little uncomfortable when she started to go to her new home or her uncle’s house, the young people adapted quickly.

The new home in Linzhou is very good. After all, it is in the city. At this time, many people still hold a lot of yearning when they go out, but in the same way, she is reluctant to leave it here.

Countryside field paths, rape flowers in spring, red azaleas during the Qingming Festival, cicadas, catch fireflies, catch frogs, pick plates, burn reeds, sway barefoot on the river beach full of pebbles... and friends who grew up together...

As he thought about it, Chen Zixi suddenly became a little stunned. The boy of this age may not have much emotion, but the girl is somewhat sentimental.

"Mom, I'll go out." Chen Zixi suddenly shouted to his mother in the room, turned around and ran out directly.

"You come back, the heat outside will be very heavy..."

"The sun is about to set, it's okay..."

When the sound came back again, the person was already outside the door.

...

The sun sets.

On the long country road, Ye Qin was wearing a short shirt covered with mud, carrying a plastic bucket and walking back.

The sun, which had already set in the valley, was no longer hot in the daytime, as gentle as the spring breeze, sprinkled on his dark face, like a martial artist who was wearing thick makeup in a big drama.

This is the third day since I returned from the town. Ye Qin has no time to complain. Life is like this. No matter how difficult it is, as long as you are on the road, you have to bite the bullet and walk forward.

There is still about a month left before school starts in September. No matter how you spend your daily life, you can just live like this, work harder and find more things to do within your ability, just don’t be idle.

He heard yesterday that the brick factory in the next village was recruiting people recently, and wondered if he should go over and take a look. On this hot day, there shouldn't be too many people who are really willing to work.

"Ye Qin, Ye Qin...what did you catch today?" A silver bell-like voice came from afar.

Ye Qin raised the plastic bucket in his hand and shook it slightly in the direction of the sound. His dark face showed a mouthful of white teeth in the sun, as if showing off his harvest today.

"Wow, there are loaches and eels."

As soon as the girl ran over, she came to Ye Qin's bucket. Her eyes widened, and she didn't dislike the spots of mud and water at all. Her fingers even touched them gently.

"Don't touch it, there's mud on the clothes." Ye Qin gently patted Chen Zixi's arm and placed the bucket on the ground. "I'll put some for you later. You can go back and float clean water all night. Tomorrow, your grandma can make a loach pot for you."

Xiushui County’s special dish loach pot is designed by almost every household. It is simple to make and has excellent taste. In summer, whenever you have time, Ye Qin will hardly have time to go to the canal ponds and fields.

Chen Zixi gently shook the water from his fingertips, as if he was a little moved, then shook his head, seemed to be silent for a moment before speaking: "Ye Qin, I'm going to Linzhou."

Chen Zixi was slightly depressed. She wanted to say this a few days ago, but she kept dragging her mouth and left tomorrow. She would be too late if she didn't say it.

"It's good to go to Lin'an. I haven't had Xiushui yet. When you go to Lin'an, remember to take more good photos and come back. Well... just like the ones you took last year."

Ye Qin smiled. He still remembered the photos that Chen Zixi came back from Linzhou last summer vacation, and various beautiful scenery and clear high-rise buildings. They were some of the scenes he had only seen on the black and white TV at home.

Between buildings and landscapes of various backgrounds, the teenage girl has already smiled like a flower and danced lightly.

"No..." The girl shook her head slightly, "I'm going to transfer to Linzhou to study."

“Transfer?!”

Ye Qin was stunned for a moment, then smiled, with white teeth showing under his dark face, "That's pretty good. I remember you seemed to have told me, right?"

Ye Qin smiled and didn't wait for Chen Zixi to answer, and continued, "The schools in Linzhou must be better than ours. It's a big city. When you come back for the Chinese New Year, you can tell me what fun is there in Linzhou."

"Yeah!" Chen Zixi made a nasal sound and nodded seriously. Looking at Ye Qin's smiling face, her eyes flashed a little. This time she went to Linzhou, she actually didn't know whether she would go back to her hometown in the future.

Probably, it will!

"Then when will you leave tomorrow?"

It seemed that they were silent for a while before Ye Qin suddenly spoke.

"It's morning. When my dad finishes the matter in the county, he will come to pick me up and my mom." The girl lowered her head and looked at the white sandals under her feet.

"Okay, I know!"

Ye Qin smiled and picked up the bucket on the ground, "It's time to have supper, go back!"

"Um!"

The girl nodded gently, followed the boy silently, and suddenly became excited again.

"Ye Qin, let me tell you that Bai Suzhen is not locked in Leifeng Tower at all, and it is not good to see it after going to see it!"

"That's a TV series."

"I went to see West Lake, too... It doesn't seem good, it's just that West Lake vinegar fish is quite delicious."

"Sweet and sour fish, I don't like sweets. Look at the sweet and sour pork ribs, I don't eat them..."

"Then...there are beggar chicken and Dongpo pork."

"Then remember to find the recipe and I will make it myself when I come back. I have such a good craft!"

"Hmph, brag!"

"Wow, you haven't eaten it before... By the way, you remember to help me see Broken Bridge."

"What's so good about that!"

"Meet the broken bridge, the broken bridge is still snow... I really don't know what it looks like!"

"Okay, my uncle has a camera. I'll take a picture for you at that time... and Qiantang Chao, oh, I should be able to catch up..."

"Then don't fall down, there are sharks..."

"Hehe... are you stupid..."

The sunset has already set in the valley, and the afterglow has rendered the sky to the west, with clouds simmering and bright red like fire. Occasionally, the evening breeze blows by, and large green rice fields are rising and falling, forming green waves.

The boy walked in front, worried about his unseen future, while echoing the girl's chatter.
