warm time

Jing Xiaoqian had already made up her mind not to continue studying, and wanted to go out to work to subsidize the family, but was threatened by her grandma to stay at home and refused to let her go out, so she just waited for the notice from Long'an Middle School.

Aunt Wu from the sub-district office took the notice and came to Jing Xiaoqian's house excitedly.It is said to be a home, but it is just an attic built on top of a two-story building.There are three rooms in total, a living room with tables, chairs, and some simple furniture; a room with two beds, a big bed and a small bed; and a small room that belongs to Xiao In Mo's small space, her small bed used to be placed, but later the bed was moved out, and the inside was furnished as a study.

"Ninny, I have told the school about your family's situation. The director of the Academic Affairs Office of Long'an Middle School has already told me that as long as you can maintain No. 1 in the school, the tuition fee will be free. You can't let your temper go any longer. You said you didn’t want to continue studying, and grandma came to me and cried several times.” Aunt Wu knew Xiaoqian’s temper, which was just one word, stubborn.

"It's not easy for the elderly, so I hope that you can get into a good university and be successful in the future. If you listen to your grandma, you should treat her as filial piety."

Listening to Aunt Wu's words, Jing Xiaoqian poured the vegetable oil into the iron pot. After a while, the oil in the pot started to emit black smoke. Jing Xiaoqian quickly grabbed the vegetables in the vegetable basket and threw them in. Lazila screamed more joyously, thicker green smoke rose, and Jing Xiaoqian hurriedly waved the spatula in his hand to stir fry.

It's not that she doesn't want to talk to Aunt Wu, she just wants to cook a good meal now, she is afraid that Aunt Wu will persuade her as soon as she opens her mouth, she still needs to think about it.I am also hesitant about reading.If you don't study, grandma will be sad; if you read, you will see grandma working hard, and you can't bear it.

"Don't worry about your grandma being taken care of. Your aunt also said that she will pick up your grandma to live in. You are a child and you should worry about what a child should worry about. Hey, you are too sensible. I will put the notice on the table for you. I am leaving."

Jing Xiaoqian sat beside the coal stove in a daze, staring at the pot, the misty heat came out, fascinated her eyes, her eyes were red, and her nose was sore.After Aunt Wu finished talking on her own, she put down her things and went downstairs.

When she came back to her senses, she wanted to say goodbye to Aunt Wu, only to realize that she had left at some point.The vegetables in the pot had already been boiled, and Jing Xiaoqian, who came back to his senses, quickly found an empty bowl and filled the pot with vegetables.There was still a plate of leftovers from lunch on the table, which was brought over and poured into the pot to suffocate.

After finishing everything, Jing Xiaoqian wiped her hands before she had time to look at the notice.He pulled out the notice and dropped it on the table with a red envelope.When I opened it, I found five hundred yuan in it.Looking at the notice in his hand and the five hundred yuan donated by someone, Xiaomo's tears slowly seeped out of his eyes again.

"Kang, kuang, kuang." There was a sound from the stairs outside the door, and Xiaoqian knew that it was grandma who came back dragging the garbage, so she quickly wiped away her tears, pressed the notice under the almanac on the window sill, and went out to pick up grandma .

Grandma dragged the garbage along the stairs and climbed up. Jing Xiaoqian took the garbage bag from grandma's skinny hand and weighed it, it was quite heavy.

"Grandma, today's harvest is good!".

"Good luck today." Grandma smiled.

"Grandma, I'll clean it up. You go wash your hands first, the rice is already cooked." Jing Xiaoqian dragged the snakeskin bag to the garbage pile outside the pile door, poured it all out with a clatter, and put the bottle Neatly stacked against the wall.

Jing Xiaoqian went into the house again, grandma had already served the rice, and there was a full bowl of rice where she was sitting, but there was only half a bowl of rice in front of grandma.

"Grandma, you eat too little." As he said that he wanted to take some of the rice from his own bowl into grandma's bowl, grandma hurriedly took away her own bowl.

"As you get older, it's not easy to digest if you eat too much. You should eat less at night. You will grow up and eat more."

Jing Xiaoqian held the bowl, took a few mouthfuls silently, and after a moment of silence, mustered up the courage to say to grandma: "Grandma, Aunt Wu came over today and brought the notice."

"Where is it, show grandma."

Jing Xiaoqian took out the notice from under the almanac on the window sill, and said, "There are still 500 yuan in it."

Although grandma hasn't read any books, she can recognize a few words, and she can still recognize the three words "notice".Grandma quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, took the notice, and stroked the notice with trembling hands.

"I knew you would pass the exam, baby girl, go to school, you are still young, you can't miss your future."

"But grandma, I went to study, what can you do?"

"I'm still in good health. Your aunt also said, let me go over and help them cook and clean up the house. Your aunt's house is much better now than before, so don't worry about my suffering in the past."

Grandma paused for a while, sighed, and continued, "You can't waste your studies with me, an old woman, or else how can I be worthy of your dead parents!" After finishing speaking, grandma wiped her tears with trembling hands .

"Grandma, don't cry." Xiaoqian hadn't finished her sentence yet, the tears that gathered in her eyes didn't know when she was streaming down her cheeks.

"Ninny, don't cry, don't cry", grandma saw that she made her granddaughter cry, and quickly reached out to help her wipe her tears. "Such a happy thing, don't cry. We should celebrate, go, get my wine."

Jing Xiaoqian got up and went to the bedside table to take out the white wine that grandma had kept for a long time. She said that it had been kept for a long time, but it was just the bulk white wine bought in the store. Grandma would take it out to satisfy her cravings only when something happy happened.

Grandma poured herself a small glass, then twisted the bottle and put it aside, "Daughter, too."

"Grandma, I don't drink it, it's too bitter."

Grandma smiled, took a sip, and said, "Wine made from grain is sweet."
