Sweet 80s

The high temperatures at the end of May were fierce, and the air was filled with rolling heat waves.

The sudden rise in temperature made the breath feel burning, making it hard to breathe.

As June 1st approaches, Dabao's Nanhe City No. 7 Primary School is preparing programs for Children's Day.

Wang Shuping's two sons deserve the praise from others.

Dabao Lin Kai is tall and thin, and looks similar to Lin Xiangdong, with starry eyebrows, sharp eyes and a righteous face.

Erbao Lin Hao's facial features are more like Wang Shuping, as delicate as a girl's.

Dabao, who has excellent appearance, was selected by the music teacher to participate in the Children's Day performance project.

He has a cheerful and outgoing personality. Even when he is standing on a stage full of crowds, he can still sing and dance naturally without any stage fright.

The program submitted by the Seventh Primary School was selected by the Education Bureau after layers of selection.

They were assigned to participate in the Children's Day cultural performance led by the Education Bureau titled "Everlasting Childlike Innocence, Unlimited Happiness".

The city’s leaders in charge of education will attend the event.

Everyone in the school, from the principal to the teachers, attaches great importance to it and actively cooperates.

Dabao has been kept in school by the teacher at noon for two consecutive days. Except for the main subjects of Chinese and mathematics, all other technical subjects are occupied in the daily curriculum.

At the beginning of the rehearsal, Dabao was full of enthusiasm, but later he kept singing and dancing like a wheel over and over again. He could only watch others take his favorite physical education class.

Coincidentally, June 1st this year fell on a Monday, and right after Children's Day we had another week of classes.

There was less and less fun, which resulted in Dabao having no energy at school every day.

Wang Shuping constantly encouraged him to persevere, and promised that after Children's Day, she would ask her teacher for a day off to go back to her grandparents' home to harvest wheat.

Many schools in Central China Province have wheat holidays.

However, wheat holiday is common in schools in rural areas and county towns, but basically not in schools in cities.

As the temperature rises, the wheat in the fields matures faster, and the original time for harvesting the wheat has to be brought forward.

I packed my bags and set off on the journey home, traveling thousands of miles towards my own wheat fields.

It is a complex engraved in the bones of every Central Plains person.

When the adults returned home to harvest wheat, the children naturally had to ask for leave to go with them.

Dabao has forgotten that he had asked for leave for the same reason when he was in the first grade.

With hope, life becomes less difficult.

Since Liang's mother moved in, Liang Fengshou's daily life has become a lot easier. However, he lives under surveillance every day, and the pressure on his heart has increased suddenly.

Seeing that her son did not mention Bai Xuelan in his words, Liang's mother felt quite comforted.

A wise child is better than his mother.

She knew that some superficial things were not worth looking at, and no one in the world knew her son's character better than herself.

Liang Fengshou did not grow up to be an indecisive, mama's boy with no ability to make independent decisions despite being doted on. Instead, his persistence on some things shocked her as a mother.

So Liang's mother had to prepare for a rainy day.

She planned to start with the people who had the best relationship with her son.

Liang Fengshou grew up in the countryside and came to the city for work reasons.

His friends are just colleagues at work.

Liang's mother met Li Xianglan on the pretext of delivering something. They were of similar age and both loved to chat.

After just a few words, he found out the ranking order of Lin Xiangdong, Zhou Zheng and others among Liang Fengshou's friends.

So, she took the local specialties she brought from her hometown and went to Lin Xiangdong's house as her first stop.

Wang Shuping seemed a little reserved when facing Liang's mother's sudden visit.

Looking at a bundle of yams on the ground, after listening to Lin Xiangdong's description of Liang Fengshou's current situation, she roughly guessed the reason why the other party came to her house.

Liang's mother was born and raised in the countryside, and she is a very talkative old lady.

Liang's mother pointed at the yam and praised it with a smile: "Don't underestimate this Huai yam. Although it doesn't look very good, it was presented as a tribute to the emperor..."

"Yes, yes, I've heard of it in the Northeast. It's quite famous."

"Not only is it famous, it's delicious and nutritious. Just steam it and dip it in sugar. I won't even exchange it for meat..."

"Aunt, you are the elder. It's unusual for an elder to bring gifts when visiting a younger generation. We should be the ones visiting you." Wang Shuping said politely to the other party.

"Ugh."

Liang's mother waved her hand.

"Fengshou is alone in the city. Thanks to your help and care, I, as a mother, can rest assured."

"It's what colleagues should do..."

"Don't say that. It's not easy to meet a kind person who really wants to help you in your life..."

When it comes to this, Liang's mother's expression suddenly dimmed, and she sighed, "Do you know how Fengshou's father died?"

Wang Shuping was stunned, blinking and shaking her head.

"His father was a short-lived man. He had a quarrel with someone in the factory and was in a bad mood. He was not paying attention and was sucked into the machine and died just like that."

Wang Shuping swallowed hard. She had a rich imagination, and the images in her mind kept getting stronger as she listened to Liang's mother's story.

To ease the embarrassment, she quickly poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Liang's mother: "It's really not easy for you, to support the whole family by yourself."

These words touched the other person's heart. Liang's mother immediately changed the subject and continued to talk incessantly about all the difficult aspects.

"So, I have to leave a descendant for the Liang family, but Fengshou is such a loser. He can't be with anyone but a mute..."

From what Wang Shuping heard from the other party, she probably didn't know that the middlemen in this relationship were herself and Lin Xiangdong.

Otherwise his expression and tone wouldn't be so calm.

Wang Shuping took a deep breath and hurriedly explained: "I heard that they broke up."

Liang's mother pursed her lips: "You don't understand my silly son. He won't let go of people and things he has set his mind on. Oh, that's right."

Liang's mother actually planned it in advance, but pretended to suddenly remember it and asked Wang Shuping: "Do you know the exact location of that girl's home?"

Wang Shuping waved her hand when she heard this, saying she didn't know: "I really don't know."

Good man, are you trying to make trouble?

It seems that the purpose of the other party's trip is to ask for the woman's home address.

"Aunt, Daliang is a very honest child. If he says he's breaking up, he must really mean it. If you're worried, I'll ask Xiangdong to find some time to ask him about it. What do you think?"

Liang's mother smiled and said nothing more. She knew that she couldn't get the answer she wanted, so she didn't stay any longer and rushed to the second stop without stopping.

When Wu Aimin saw Liang's mother, it was as if she had met a close friend. They chatted about all sorts of things and even forgot the time.

It was not until Zhou Zheng came back that Liang's mother realized that she had missed cooking time.

As she hurried downstairs, Wu Aimin's words made her furious and she felt humiliated as if she was being made fun of.

"What? You said that the woman Fengshou met was introduced by Lin Xiangdong?" Liang's mother said in surprise.

"Yes, Auntie, you don't know."

Wu Aimin didn't know what happened in the middle, so she blurted out: "He said it was his friend's sister, who was so pretty."

Liang's mother tried her best to control her emotions, but her face was so stiff that she couldn't even force out a smile, and she went downstairs angrily.

"Why do you care what she says? She won't be staying here for a few more days." Lin Xiangdong washed his face in the sink in the yard.

"Why?" Wang Shuping asked.

"Daliang's second sister Liang Shiliu is about to give birth. Can her mother not go back to take care of her during the confinement period? Besides, her family also has to harvest the wheat."

"Oh, that's true. Liang Fengshou's name is quite meaningful. Why are his two sisters' names so random?"

"I asked out of curiosity."

Lin Xiangdong pulled the towel off his neck and wiped his face and arms.

"Daliang said that there was a jujube tree and a pomegranate tree in their yard, so that's how the name came about."

Although the pace of progress has never stopped, the outdated and pedantic ideas of some people have not improved at all.

Wang Shuping sighed and said slowly: "I always feel uneasy. I always feel that Aunt Liang will come again."

"Why are you here? Haven't I made everything clear?"

"Have you forgotten what I said? Being a matchmaker is not easy. It involves risks."

Lin Xiangdong suddenly remembered, then smiled and said nonchalantly.

"Yes, yes, you're being scolded, right? I'll give you a trick. Lock the gate and don't open the door to anyone who doesn't answer the password..."

After leaving Zhou's house, the smile on Liang's mother's face gradually disappeared.

She stood there, her eyes full of anger. After thinking for a moment, she went back home, cursing as she walked.

"Lin Xiangdong, you are such a jerk. When people introduce people, they are just matchmaking, but you are also involved in the illegal activities, stuffing all kinds of filthy food into our house. Only my stupid son still treats you as a friend..."

Liang's mother became more and more excited as she spoke, and rolled up her sleeves as if to hit someone: "Your wife said she didn't know the place, she's really pretending, you guys are just waiting for me..."
