After the heroine's halo was taken away, I was reborn

Chapter 27 The Return
At noon that day, the three dolls kept chopping chopsticks, and Gu Ping repeatedly praised the big girl's craftsmanship, soaring, soaring!
After lunch, Gu Jinyao went out again with a basket on her back.

She still has to go to the commune to buy oil, continue to collect big yellow rice, and ask Ji Xiaoan about going to school by the way.

Ji Xiaoan was ten years old, and he was in the third grade of elementary school. When his father died, it happened to be the summer vacation, and he went to stay at Lu's house for half a month, so school was delayed.

Now that the situation at home is stable and Ji Shaobei is at work, it's time for that kid to go back to school.

The primary school of the commune is next to the oil room. Gu Jinyao bought the oil, put down his things, and went inside to find the principal.

It’s okay to go to elementary school, you can go to school if you pay, but it’s up to you whether you study well or not.

What the principal meant was that he could come back to class, and if he didn't want to repeat the grade, he had to make up for it in private.

Gu Jinyao had seen Ji Xiao'an's certificate of merit pasted on the wall, and felt that his grades should be okay, so he didn't repeat a grade, and paid a few dollars to get the book and notebook back.

Back home, Gu Jinyao called Ji Xiaoan to him.

"Want to go to school?"

"read!"

Ji Xiaoan was a little surprised that Gu Jinyao asked him about his studies, and when he thought that she had just returned from the commune, he also had some suspicions.

Does he want to go to school?

Naturally, he wanted to read books, solve problems, win prizes, and be praised by the teacher. He liked that feeling very much.

But if he left, the family would be handed over to her?
Ji Xiaoan glanced at Gu Jinyao one after another, and finally whispered, "I'm going to school, can you take care of my family?"

Gu Jin Yao: "?"

What is this man's little head thinking!
"Your uncle has been gone for a few days. Is it possible that I don't like this family? Cooking, laundry, and working in the field are all done by you?"

Gu Jinyao rubbed his little head, "What are you thinking about, I am your aunt, and I will leave this house to me in the future."

"Auntie", her voice was soft and her face was gentle.

Ji Xiaoan stared blankly at Gu Jinyao, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, in that vague memory, a woman once spoke to him with such an expression.

"Xiao An, be good at home and don't run around. Mom is going to catch the piglets. After the Chinese New Year, Xiao An will have pork to eat."

It's just that she never came back after she left...

Ji Xiaoan suddenly felt sour in his heart, and tears fell straight down.

Gu Jinyao felt a little inexplicable, Ji Xiaoan, why are you crying!

she just now?
Didn't say anything!

Gu Jinyao panicked and asked, "You don't want to go to school?"

Ji Xiaoan shook his head, "I want to go."

"Why are you crying if you want to go? I've already paid the money for you, and you can go there next week. I even brought you the books."

As Gu Jinyao said, he hurriedly took out the book hidden in the back basket, but Ji Xiaoan cried even louder.

"You child, what's the matter?"

Gu Jinyao really couldn't figure it out, just at this time Gu Ping and the two younger ones also came over.

Mengmeng: "Brother Xiaoan, are you hungry?"

Niu Niu was confused, then looked at the book Ji Xiaoan was holding in his arms, "Brother Xiaoan doesn't want to read."

He had seen brothers and sisters who played around in order not to go to school before.

With so many people watching, Ji Xiaoan was also embarrassed, wiped his tears and gave Niu Niu a look, "Who said I don't want to study." Then he went back to the room with his book in his arms.

Gu Jinyao: "Don't pay attention to him, I don't know what's going on."

In fact, she also came to understand a little bit, this child was moved.

Just when the door was closed, he looked back at himself, full of gratitude and attachment to his relatives, but the boy was too stubborn to express his feelings.

Ji Xiaoan stayed here until it got dark.

His book had been bound in old newspaper and had written his name.

When helping Gu Jinyao to light the fire at night, Ji Xiaoan finally couldn't help it, and said to Gu Jinyao who was rolling out noodles, "Thank you, auntie."

After being reborn, this kid called her aunt for the first time.

Gu Jinyao was happy in her heart, but she was extremely calm on the surface. She didn't want the boy to blush and feel embarrassed, so she just said softly: "If you want to thank me, study hard. You have already missed half of the class, and you have to make up for it tomorrow. , Ask me if you don’t understand anything.”

She is also a person who has gone to school for six years, and she is not bad at learning.

"I see."

He will not go out to play from tomorrow, he must study hard.

There was still some pork bone and radish soup left over for lunch, so at night Gu Jinyao rolled out noodles and ate it with the radish broth.

Because Gu Ping had to go back after dinner, Ji's family usually ate this meal earlier than other families.

The whole family was sitting at the table in the main room eating, when there was some noise from the gate of the courtyard, a tall figure carrying a small bundle pushed open the wooden gate and entered.

The frost in the early winter night was heavy, and under the cold moonlight, the man was tall and slender, with steady steps, and entered the door amidst everyone's surprised eyes.

"Ji Bei, why are you back?"

Gu Jinyao was a little surprised, didn't she say that she was only on holiday on Sunday?

A bean-sized oil lamp illuminates the small world of the main room. The room is warm and peaceful. The woman is there, Gu Ping is there, and the three children are also sitting at the table. There is a bowl of noodles in front of them. A little green vegetables, topped with radish broth, the fragrance is compelling.

Ji Shaobei glanced at the three children calmly, his complexion was ruddy, and he seemed to be getting fatter.

"My colleague has something to do, so he changed shifts with me."

So he came back early.

Is that right?

Gu Jinyao actually didn't believe it.

Looking at the man's scrutinizing eyes, maybe he came back early on purpose to check on him.

But it doesn't matter, she can walk upright and sit upright, she can bear the word "auntie", and she is not afraid of this person probing herself.

After a brief daze, everyone was naturally happy when Ji Shaobei returned.

Gu Jinyao put the bowl away, and went to knead the noodles to get a bite for the man.

Ji Shaobei was going to help her light the fire, so he stopped Gu Ping and kept asking him how his job in the city was.

The grandson-in-law is also a breadwinner, Gu Ping is happy and proud.

Soon, Gu Jinyao's noodles were served, a large bowl was full, there was no radish broth, and two eggs were fried for the man.

It's noodles and eggs, Ji Shaobei doesn't know how he feels, in fact, he hasn't eaten such fine grains for a long time.

Before moving the chopsticks, Ji Shaobei asked the three children if they wanted eggs.

All three children shook their heads, they don't care about the egg anymore.

Ji Shaobei could see that they really didn't want to eat it, so he asked Gu Jinyao if he wanted it.

"No need, we only had stewed pork bones with radish and fried pork with bean sprouts at noon, you can eat these."

It turned out that this was the case, Ji Shaobei stopped pushing, and started hula eating.

This noodle is really delicious, with a strong aroma of wheat.

The eggs are also fried very well, half-cooked, one side is burnt, the other side is tender, and there is a runny heart in the middle of the egg yolk. After taking a bite, the aroma that is exclusive to the egg yolk overflows in the mouth, which makes him feel satisfied, and the exhaustion of long-distance travel is swept away. And the light.
