"Jiang Han is back?"

"Jiang Han is back?"

"Jiang Han is back?"

……

Jiang Han transferred from the large bus to the minibus, and then to the urban and rural bus.

After finally being able to board the ship, we were told that navigation was prohibited due to strong gusts of wind at sea.

Jiang Han waited near the dock for two days and finally boarded the ship to Jiaowa Island.

Jiang Han didn’t like riding on a boat when he was a child. It was okay when there was no wind, but if the wind was a little stronger, he would feel it was too bumpy.

Growing up on an island, he had suffered from seasickness several times and was even teased by the islanders because of it.

But now, not only did he not feel seasick, he even felt comfortable smelling the salty sea breeze.

Three hours later, he finally returned to Xiajiang Village on Jiaowa Island.

The aunts he met along the way greeted him warmly, and Jiang Han also responded enthusiastically.

Just walking along the way, all I saw were elderly people and children running around.

Jiaowa Island is far away from the inland. Compared with the people in the inland who are becoming increasingly well-off, most of the villagers on Jiaowa Island live a hard life, and many young people have gone out to work.

There are really not many people of his age on the island now.

Jiang Han felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

As you step into the house, everything in the house appears before your eyes.

A black and white TV, a tape recorder longer than his arm, and a radio with a pull-out cord mounted on the wall.

Even the windows have wooden frames and slide outwards.

If you don’t know, you might think he is in the 1980s.

This small island with inconvenient transportation is itself far away from the outside city.

In addition, their family was not well off, his sister got married early, and he went to college outside, so the things in the house were still many years old.

Jiang Han returned to his room, where two celebrity posters were still on the wall.

He tore up the star posters and went to the cupboard to find the mattress pad and quilt.

He originally thought that there would be some musty smell on it, so he planned to take it out to dry in the sun. However, after taking it out, he found that not only was there no musty smell, but there was also the smell of the sun.

Could it be that his sister had helped him dry the quilt?

Thinking of the spotless table and chairs in the living room, my sister must come back often to look after the house.

Their parents are no longer with us, and for so many years, they have been relying on each other.

A large part of his tuition for his first year of college was also paid by his sister.

In the following years, his sister continued to give him living expenses.

He refused to take it, but his sister forced it on him.

He owes his sister too much over the years and doesn't know when he will be able to repay her.

Jiang Han's stomach growled. He had eaten a tea egg when he got on the boat in the morning, so he was really hungry now.

In a place like theirs, there are no supermarkets or vegetable markets, so it's good enough to have a small shop.

He went to the village store and bought a pack of instant noodles, a bag of eggs, and a pack of sausages.

Because there is no electric kettle at home.

He lit a fire with a dusty face and finally put the instant noodles in the pot to cook.

He beat two more eggs and added two sausages.

There is a palm-sized hole on the side of his wood stove, and he scooped water from this hole when cooking instant noodles.

When the instant noodles were cooked, the water in the hole also boiled. He scooped out the water and poured it into the thermos, and the water was ready to drink.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't done this for a long time, and when he put the steaming instant noodles on the table, he was already sweating all over.

Jiang Feng opened the door and came in at this moment.

Both the brother and sister were startled and asked in unison, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Han dragged out a chair next to him for Jiang Feng to sit on.

He took out his diploma and showed it to Jiang Feng, "Graduated."

Jiang Feng looked at the diploma with great curiosity.

This is the graduation certificate from Nancheng University, which is ranked among the best in the country.

Her brother is really promising.

But the joy on her face suddenly stopped, and she thought of something.

Jiang Han knew what Jiang Feng was going to ask, so he simply told Jiang Feng what happened between him and Ye Tiantian.

"She got admitted to graduate school and broke up with me."

Jiang Feng opened his mouth, but many words were stuck in his throat.

My younger brother and Ye Tiantian are both from this village. They grew up together and are childhood sweethearts.

The conditions of both families are not good.

A large part of Ye Tiantian's living expenses in college over the years was earned by her younger brother working part-time.

I didn't expect that after she became a graduate student, she turned against me.

She carefully observed Jiang Han's expression, fortunately Jiang Han's face looked okay.

"You've already graduated from college and are already an educated person. You can do anything in the future."

Jiang Han sighed, "Sister, do you still remember the major I applied for?"

"Of course I remember. It's financial management." It sounds very impressive. She asked around in the village, and they all said that graduates of this major would become leaders in large companies.

"Sister, I don't want to hide it from you. This major is indeed very prestigious. However, those who apply for this major usually have factories or companies at home. After they learn the knowledge in the major, they go straight back home to run their own companies."

"So what are your plans now?" Jiang Feng was so anxious that he almost scratched his head. Could it be that his brother's university education was in vain?

"Let me come back and stay for a few days, and then think about what to do next." Staying in my hometown, at least I don't have to worry about the expensive rent every month.

"Then you can live here peacefully. If you need anything, just tell me."

"Sister, I can take care of myself."

Hearing Jiang Han's words, Jiang Feng was immediately relieved. Her brother had indeed grown up. If her parents were still alive, they would definitely be happy to see her brother like this.

"Let's go to my sister's house for dinner tonight."

Jiang Han paused, "I'm still not going."

His sister has helped him so much over the years.

Although my brother-in-law didn't say anything, he already had his own thoughts in his mind. Now my brother-in-law has already regarded my sister as a complete brother-in-law demon.

The most important thing is that their family conditions are not good. They have two daughters to support and their own lives are tight, so how can he bother them again?

He only hated that he had no ability now, otherwise he would be able to help his sister.

Jiang Feng didn't realize this. She felt around herself but didn't find any money.

She opened the upstairs window to get some fresh air the other day, and came over today just to close the window.

"Okay, if you don't want to eat, then don't eat."

Her brother must have been lazy again. The two villages were so close that it would only take more than ten minutes to walk there, but he just didn't want to take the step.

Forget it, next time she comes over, she can bring some food and make more delicious food for him.

The brother and sister exchanged a few more pleasantries, but thinking of her two children at home, Jiang Feng had to go back.

After Jiang Feng left, Jiang Han slowly finished his instant noodles.

He felt a bit bored staying at home alone, so he went out for a walk.

The sun was a little strong, so he put on the hat hanging on the door.
