Chapter 200, spring is coming
Not long after they went back to school, it started to rain.
The light rain continued for a week, as if the whole world was soaked in water. People came and went in the corridors of the dormitory, people who came in and out had water on their feet, and the ground was wet.
Fortunately, they live in a small dormitory. There are few people in the dormitory. Everyone likes to be clean, so the dormitory is relatively clean and tidy.
It has been raining for so many days in a row, and there is no place to dry their changed clothes. They are all hung in the balcony. The two ropes are full of wet clothes, and the clothes that have been stuffy for several days are stinking.This continuous rain also brought a lot of troubles to the students who lived in the school.
But at the same time, this drizzle silently moistened everything, the grass in the ground sprouted, and the branches on the trees sprouted green shoots.
There is a big banyan tree at the door of their dormitory. In autumn, all the leaves on the tree have fallen off, leaving only the bare trunk.
Everyone coming in and out will pass by here.
Coming out of the dormitory building this morning, Qiao Minglang found that the rain had stopped at some point, and the big banyan tree at the door of the dormitory had grown green shoots, as if spring had come overnight.
"What are you looking at, let's go." Zhou Xing realized that the people behind hadn't followed, stopped, turned his head and shouted back.
Seeing the young man standing under the tree, looking up at the tree at the door of their dormitory, he followed the young man's gaze and thought, isn't it just a tree, what's so interesting about it!
Qiao Minglang withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at the person who was waiting for him, and walked towards him.
The red flag was slowly rising and fluttering in the wind, and the moment the sun broke through the clouds, the whole world was brightened, the grass in the field was swaying in the wind, and the teenagers on the playground cheered, "Wow, the sun is out. "
"If the sun doesn't come out, I will have no underwear to change!"
"I'm going back to dry my underwear!"
"Let's go, I'll go back with you."
"..."
After finishing their morning exercises in the morning, many students went to the dormitory building where they lived, and took the clothes hanging on the balcony outside to dry. For a while, the whole dormitory building was covered with clothes, and the sky above the roof was covered with clothes of various colors. The flag fluttered in the wind.
In this semester, the third year of high school students will soon face the college entrance examination, the second year of high school students will soon be promoted to the third year of high school, and their first year of high school students will soon be promoted to the second year of high school.
Studying in high school is stressful and does not allow for slack. Each class has a different teacher, and there are four or five classes in a day. The teacher in each class will assign homework, and there will be a test every week.The students are immersed in reading every day, with endless homework and endless papers.
The time of studying every day passes quickly, and the day is gone in the blink of an eye, and the day is gone in the blink of an eye.
April is Ching Ming Festival, it happens to be Saturday and Sunday, and the school will be on vacation for three days. Qiao Minglang and his cousins will go back to their hometown to worship their parents and ancestors.
Hearing the boy said that he was going home to worship his ancestors, Zhou Xing was not easy to follow such a day, so he could only ask with resentment: "Then when will you come back?"
"Go back for two or three days, and I will be back on Monday at the latest." They have a total of three days of vacation, put it on Monday, and will return to school on Tuesday, so they will go back for two or three days at most. At that time, I have to come back to class early.
"Okay." Zhou Xing had no choice but to agree.
After the class on Friday, they have a holiday.
Qiao Minglang packed a small package in advance, he no longer used his old package, but used the backpack sent by Zhou Xing, he found that this kind of backpack is easier to hold things and carry.
They are going to catch the last bus to go back tonight, and they can come to open the shop earlier after the ancestor worship.
"Go, I'll take you there." Seeing that the young man had already packed his things, Zhou Xing had nothing to do, so he stood at the door and waited for him.
"Okay." Qiao Minglang picked up his things and walked towards the door. The two left the dormitory together, locked the door, went down the stairs, and left the dormitory building.
It is rare for the school to have three days of vacation in a row. Most of the students in the school will go home today, and no one will stay in the dormitory.Qiao Minglang turned his head and asked the people around him, "Are you going home in the next few days?"
"Go back." In fact, Zhou Xing didn't really want to go home, but every year on Tomb-sweeping Day, they would go to worship his grandma together.
"When the time comes, don't come to pick me up. If I want to come back early, I will go to your place to find you." Qiao Minglang was afraid that this person would go to the station to pick him up again. They didn't know when they would come back. Maybe this fool would run away every day. to pick him up.
Besides, his cousins didn't know about them yet, so he didn't want to let his family know so early. He wanted to find a suitable opportunity in the future before telling his family.
Hearing the young man's words behind him, Zhou Xing finally showed a little smile on his face, turned his head to look at the young man's side face, and replied with a smile, "Okay, then come earlier."
The two of them came to the place where his cousins lived, and everyone was already waiting for him here. After meeting each other, they went to the station to get a ride.
Zhou Xing sent the boy here, and saw the boy followed his cousins onto the bus, and he stood alone under the stop sign.
Qiao Minglang got into the car and saw the people standing outside from the window.
The eyes of the two met, Zhou Xing smiled and waved to the young man, and the car drove away slowly, taking his young man with him.
"Hey..." I couldn't help but sighed, the smile on my face disappeared, and I touched my trouser pocket, only to remember that I haven't smoked for a long time, and I don't have any cigarettes on me.Seeing a kiosk selling newspapers next to it, Zhou Xing knew that there were cigarettes for sale there, but he had no intention of buying them.
Now that he has already quit, he doesn't want to smoke it again, he knows that the boy doesn't like the smell of cigarettes on him.
There were two little girls who were waiting for the bus watching him, Zhou Xing walked over without squinting, and he didn't even spare a glance for others.

They installed a fixed line in the store, and left a number for the family when they went back years ago.A few days ago, the family called to inquire, and they knew that they were going home for the Ching Ming Festival. When they returned to the town at night, their fifth uncle drove the family's tricycle and was waiting for them by the side of the road.
"Haha, I thought you would arrive soon." Seeing the children get out of the car, Qiao Chunfu drove the three-wheeled car over, skillfully turned the car around, and let everyone get on the car.
"Uncle Five."
"Uncle Wu."
Everyone came over to say hello to Uncle Wu, only Qiao Minglang called Uncle Wu here.
"Have you eaten yet? Are you hungry? There is food left for you at home, and I will wait for you to go back and eat."
"Eat something before getting in the car."
"Oh, okay, let's eat when we go back." After dark, there was nothing to sell in the town.
"Everyone come up quickly." Seeing some relatives, Qiao Chunfu also said hello to them, and he sent everyone back together by the way, and asked, "Would you like to come to our place to eat, to eat?" Send you back after dinner?"
"Don't be so troublesome, Uncle Wu, just take us back to the intersection of the village." Xu Ping is Qiao Xiaolan's husband, who is also Qiao Mingshan's brother-in-law.
"Yeah, I have to trouble Uncle Fifth to come and pick us up."
They are all married to girls from the Qiao family, and they are all relatively close.
They didn't have much work in their hometown, and if it wasn't for their relatives, they wouldn't be able to find a good job.Now I go to work outside with my relatives, and I get paid every month, including food and lodging, and basically spend whatever money I get outside, and I can save the money I get, and take it home to give to me when I go home. home.
Although the daily work is a bit tiring, the food in the store is good. They work in the store of their relatives, and the relatives do not treat them too badly. They can eat enough every day and have the strength to work.
They have only been there for a short period of one or two months, and they have received more than a month's salary for this month, which is not bad.In the past, they could not earn so much money for a few months, so the life of the family was relatively difficult. They were all very happy when they got their first wages.
"Hehe, no trouble, no trouble." Qiao Chunfu let everyone get into the car, and only sent a few relatives back along the way, and then took their kid back to his home.
"Not long after you left, officials from the town came to our village to talk about pulling the wires to our village." On the way, Qiao Chunfu and his eldest nephew talked about the wires being pulled in the village, and said in a tone of joy that could be heard. : "Just last month, our village was connected to the electric wires. Several of our houses have been connected to the wires and installed electric meters. Now we can use electricity."
"When you go back, you will be able to use the electricity, and you don't need to light the lights anymore. If you want to say, it's better to turn on the electricity, or if you get up in the middle of the night to pee, you still won't be able to find out where the urine bucket is."
"Hehe..." Qiao Mingshan was quite happy when he heard that the electricity was turned on at home, and said, "Oh, it's good to have electricity in the village. Let's see when the telephone can be installed, and install a telephone at home, so that in the future It’s more convenient for us to call home.”
"That's the truth. I'll ask about it when the time comes." Qiao Chunfu said with a smile.
However, although the village has electricity, there are still many people who are reluctant to bear the lights. When it gets dark in their village, most of the people have already closed their doors to sleep.
Knowing that the boys in the family will be back today, and the adults in the family are still awake, Aunt Qiao has prepared the meals and is waiting for the boys in their family to come back.
At this time, Huang Yan hadn't come home yet. At her sister-in-law's house, the two of you stood at the door together, waiting for their kid to come back.Hearing the sound of rumbling cars coming from outside, the woman smiled and said, "It seems that they are back."
"Look, it should be. Go outside and have a look. I'll go to the kitchen to light up the fire and heat up the dishes." After saying that, Mrs. Qiao went to the kitchen. They had already eaten, and the pot was returned. The children who came back kept their meals.
