Chapter 1 Yao Shan: It doesn’t matter, uncle, I don’t remember you either.

Shanshan, don’t worry, my mother was driving and admonishing me.You will love living at your uncle's house.

Well, I responded and secretly looked at her from the corner of my eyes.

My mother frowned slightly, still staring at the road in front of the car.

Humph, she was probably very happy and finally threw my troubles into other places.

I turned my head and stared blankly at the trees and fields flying back outside the car window, trying not to take my mother's words to heart.

She and my dad divorced when I was very young. Dad disappeared from our world and she raised me alone.

My mother is a strong woman inside and out. I admire her very much and thank her very much, but this is different from getting along.

Our mother-daughter relationship has been getting better and worse since we can remember. After entering puberty, it turned sharply and it seemed like a wall was built between the two.

During my three years in high school, I went to boarding school and I usually study hard and never go home. I spent almost all the weekends and winter and summer vacations in various study tutoring classes.

After entering the third year of high school, I rarely go back even on weekends.

I am busy with my studies and my mother is busy with work. The two rarely meet each other, so the relationship should not be very bad.

But the fact is that we can always cause conflicts and disputes during holiday reunion, and we can't stop them from happening for various reasons.

After the college entrance examination, the circle of friends was full of information about classmates traveling with their parents, relaxing, and having fun.And I was at home for a week, and I could only describe it in one word: disaster.

The family is full of tension all the time, and almost everything is over, my mother and I can end with quarrels and slander.

Yesterday morning, my mother asked me to buy milk, but I only delayed five minutes and she started nagging.

I endured it with a calm attitude, so I didn't mention that it took her three days to find someone to repair the air conditioner in the bedroom.

However, my mother refused to give in and scolded me one by one. She also said that I was like a parasite at home and did nothing, but she couldn't say what I needed to do. She just went back and forth and again and again and again and bought milk for five minutes.

Our quarrel began again, who would not know how to turn old accounts!

I couldn't bear it anymore and finally exposed her affair with her colleagues in the company.

That's right, she thought she could hide it from me, but she didn't expect that the secret would be discovered by me.

It's nothing difficult, just look through her phone while she is taking a shower.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get proud for long. My mother woke me up early this morning and told me that I would spend this summer at my uncle’s house.

That's right, that's how it happens.

My mother disliked me and drove me out of the house so that she could spend time with her little lover without any scruples.

I don't want to go to my uncle's house at all, and deep down I still want to be with my mother.

I know I am not a worry-free daughter, but she is my mother. Shouldn’t she be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one who should be the one

How do I check the college entrance examination scores?Also fill out your application form?I asked dissatisfiedly.

It is said that after the college entrance examination, it is a great relief in life, but I don’t think so yet. As a mother, she washes her hands and puts down her burden first. She is too irresponsible to do this.

I raised my head and sighed, blowing away the hair on my face.

Of course, it depends on whom it compares with.

No matter how bad your mother is, it is at least better than your father.

After divorced his mother, he went away and completely cut off contact with us.

I don’t know what happened between my parents, and my mother never mentions it.

At home, the word dad is an absolute taboo.

Shanshan, we are going to the countryside, not to the slums, okay!Mom gave me a blank look.

Come on, if you want to like the countryside, I haven’t seen you come back a few times.I looked at her as she did.

My mother's father died of illness when she was four years old. Her family was not in good condition and life became more and more difficult.

It was really not possible for grandma to hold on for two years, so she was only six years old and remarried from the city to Xuncun.

My mother rarely mentions her childhood life. I always feel that she is very inferior because she grew up in the countryside. In addition, her stepfather treats her very badly and never wants to go back after getting into college.

However, my mother has a half-brother who was almost raised by her and had a very good relationship.

Although the siblings have neglected their relationships over the years, the two have been talking and say hello and give gifts during festivals.

There is another advantage now. Mom can handle my annoying trouble and throw her hot potato into my brother's hands.

Xuncun was about two hundred kilometers south of his home, and soon he came to a town after getting off the expressway.

It is only a few streets across the board, but it is equipped with Internet cafes, cinemas, coffee shops, restaurants, clinics, barber shops, decoration companies and supermarkets, which barely confirms Sima Qian's saying: "Counties gather and counties gather and counties gather and counties gather and the world."

Young and old people shuttled through the streets and alleys. The smell of barbecue at street stalls, the smell of cheap tea, the sound of mahjong collisions, and the old, middle-aged and young people yelling around the mahjong table, seem to have a more lifelike atmosphere than the crowds in the city.

My impression of the county town is still in ancient times. When I got there, I realized that it was more neat and prosperous than I thought.

But my mother curled her lips and said disdainfully: Almost no one here has a serious job and her income is dysfunctional.But their house is their own, an electric donkey is enough to run around the places they want to go.You don’t need to take out a loan to buy a car and a house, and the things are cheaper, but you dare to spend money even if you have time to spend money than the people in the city.Everyone is the one who eats today and doesn’t care about tomorrow, and it’s useless to stay here.

We stayed in town for an hour and mom bought a bunch of daily necessities and gifts stuffed into the car.

Some are for me, some are for my uncle and aunt.

Judging from this attitude, she made up her mind to let me live in their house until the end of the summer vacation.

I leaned against the car window and stared outside. Not long after I left the town, the scenery outside the window changed drastically.

In the boundless rural fields, unknown crops grow in the fields, and their heads are hung down due to the sun.

The sun was fierce and scorching in June, the roof and body were hot, and the road seemed to be scorched.

Fortunately, there was air conditioning in the car, even so, my lips were still dry and I kept drinking water.

However, after I went to middle school, I was devoted to learning, and I never left the city with my school and my family.

For the first time in so many years, the vision is so wide, and the large tracts of crops are spectacular and beautiful.

It's still very fresh and full of doubts for me who are used to reinforcing concrete.

What can I do in the countryside?

My friends posted on their circle of friends these days that they were Times Square, Eiffel Tower, and Mediterranean beaches. The crop fields I saw were incomparable to these places.

I sincerely hope that my uncle's family has enough things to occupy the holiday, otherwise I would have to play games online for twenty-four hours.

Alas, I sighed, it was both pity and frustration.

Shanshan, don’t be nervous.I know you haven't seen your uncle in ten years, but I know he will be happy to see you and will also like you to spend the summer vacation with him, okay?When my mother heard my long sigh, she comforted her kindly.

I can say goodbye to me soon, and her attitude became more and more pleasant.

What if my uncle doesn’t want me to stay there?I grabbed my braid and stuffed the ends into my mouth.

Don't do this, my mother immediately refuted, not knowing whether it was because of this bad habit I developed when I was nervous, or because I was worried that I would not be welcomed by my uncle.

She pulled my hair away from her mouth, and another layer of impatientness appeared in her eyes.

My mother always does this. When I take it for granted, I have to be more sensible and stop quarreling with her.

I told you that my uncle will be very happy to see you, and listen to me.He lives a good life now. Although it is a countryside, I am sure that if you want, you will never be wronged.Mom's tone became softer.

Maybe it’s guilt. I kicked my daughter out of the house just after the college entrance examination. It’s not something my biological mother can do.

Mom was silent for a while and continued: Your uncle's shrew's wife is fierce and lazy, and she is not good to your uncle.Although we haven't seen each other for many years, I doubt how her virtue can change.My uncle will welcome you, which is much better than facing his wife.You and I haven't been in harmony recently. It's good for us all to live with your uncle for a few months.

Although I don't want to admit it, it's true.

Over the years since I lived in high school, my relationship with my mother and I have been ups and downs, but fortunately, there is a school that serves as a buffer between the two.

But when we live under the same roof and really get along day and night, the relationship between mother and daughter is not the worst, but even worse.

My mother is looking forward to getting rid of me this summer vacation, especially now she has a little lover. She even has the possibility of talking about marriage when she hears her meaning, and having me at home will always get in the way.

You're right, mom.I believe my uncle will be very happy to see me.What else can I do except follow her words.

After entering Xun Village, we saw the trees before we saw the house.

Each tree is thick and tall, with branches casting a thick green shade.

The sun still shines brightly on the earth, but the temperature drops by several degrees.

I no longer feel hot and thirsty. What's strange is that the village is so quiet and it feels like no one is there.

I just passed by the endless fields and there were no workers around.

My mother looked like she was not surprised and said that the sun was so poisonous that the people in the village were sleeping and resting at home.

She was familiar with the road and drove the car to a yard gate. There was a huge cement open space at the door, where a muddy pickup truck was already parked.

This plan is so strange that I was puzzled when I looked at it.

Mom smiled and said: We used to use this piece of land to dry food, but now we don’t need it anymore, so it’s convenient to park.

We got out of the car and a hot wind blew in our face.

Even so, after staying in the car for so long, we were all sore in the back.

Standing on the ground again, he couldn't help but straighten his back, breathing a sigh of relief, and finally arrived.

The yard is surrounded by tall red bricks and black tiles, and the yard wall is very high, so there is no way to see anything inside.

The iron gate is painted with red paint, which is quite fashionable.

My mother walked to the front door and patted the door, but no one answered.

If his uncle was at home, he would not have missed his mother's knock on the door.

This only means one thing, my uncle has no plans to come to him.

I was very worried, and my mother kept looking at her watch, looking like she wanted to leave as soon as possible.

I sincerely hope she won't leave me here and wait for my uncle to appear alone.

Or, you call again?I suggest.

My mother just said to get the phone from her bag, and finally the sound of footsteps came from the yard, gradually approaching the door.

I immediately became nervous, reached out to smooth my hair, then glanced at my mother and received an encouraged smile.

Wow!The man who I thought was my uncle opened the door and looked surprised when he saw us, but quickly reached out and pulled his mother into his arms.Mom laughed and hugged him.

I became even more nervous and couldn't help but take a step back.

This person is taller and stronger than my uncle in my memory. He has no hair, and his stubble is thick and black.

The thick and neat eyebrows are raised vigorously and are only slightly bent when they reach the top.

It is probably related to working in the fields for many years. My uncle's figure and skin color are typical of rural people.

His skin was sunburned reddish brown, his shoulders were wide, his hands and feet were long, his face was rough, and the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be much older than his mother, not like his mother's younger brother at all.

My uncle was wearing only a sweatshirt and labor shorts, and his developed muscles were bulging on his shoulders and arms.

The lines all over the body are hard, giving people a feeling that they are both rough and barbaric.

However, his eyes were completely disproportionate to his appearance, too smart and quiet, and his nose and mouth looked too delicate, especially when he spoke, his white teeth were exposed.

With a wrinkled sweatshirt and old and rustic labor shorts, it was all day and night.

If this man is cleaner and has changed into an inappropriate outfit, it shouldn't be ugly.

Are you okay?I didn't see anyone for such a long time knocking on the door, and I thought what's wrong with you!Mom patted her uncle on the shoulder, teased him with a smile and said: Look at you, little brother!

My uncle let go of my mother, and I waited patiently for his eyes to fall on me, hoping that he would know me.

If I met on the street, I wouldn't recognize my uncle at all.

I complained secretly, believing that my mother should be able to feel it too.

In my uncle's dark eyes, although he greeted his mother with a smile, there was actually no sign of accepting or welcoming us.

My uncle turned to face me, his lips pursed into a line, and he narrowed his eyes and looked up and down without hesitation.He crossed his arms in front of his chest and asked in a stern tone: Who is this person?

People who have seen me since childhood say I look like my mother.

When the mother and daughter walked together, no one had ever suspected that I was my mother's daughter.

And the uncle looked at me either joking with us or hating me very much, otherwise it would be impossible to ask such a question.

Beiyue, don’t be stupid.This is Shanshan Ah!Mom said angrily and patted his arm again.

My uncle's eyes immediately became softer, and a hint of embarrassing smile streaked across the corner of his mouth.

He put his hands in his pockets, shrugged his shoulders awkwardly, and said apologetically: Sorry, Shanshan.When I saw you last time, you were still a little bitch, do you know?

I secretly glanced at my expectant mother, exhaled and a smile squeezed out on my face.It doesn’t matter, uncle, I don’t remember you either, I didn’t expect you to be so big.

My mother patted my arm as she was just now, and her brother laughed and then became silent.

The three of us fell into a moment of silence, and I don’t know what the two adults were thinking, nor do I know if they were having some form of silent communication.

I stood beside the two of them in embarrassment, and suddenly realized that my mother grew up here, facing the brothers who grew up together. Even if she hadn't come back for more than ten years and didn't say anything, she couldn't resist her sense of existence here.

At this time, I am the only one who is a guest, a stranger, or an outsider.

Come in quickly. Yesterday you suddenly called. I thought it was just a whim. I didn’t expect that you were still so decisive and unscrupulous after not seeing you for many years.My uncle finally broke the silence and said as he turned his body sideways and let us enter the yard.

I hope Shanshan can spend this summer with you. My mother asked a little overly optimistically: Wu Xue won’t mind, right?

I looked at the two of them nervously. Wu Xue was my aunt's name. Although I didn't know her, if she welcomed us, wouldn't it be time to come out to meet us now?

My uncle reached out and wiped his beard and said: She doesn't.

That's good!Mom's voice felt relieved.

My uncle shrugged calmly and said nothing.He reached out to pick up his duffle bag from me and signaled me to follow him in.

As soon as you enter the yard, you will see the main house in front of you. It is the two-story building that is common in rural areas.

Sloped roof with red terracotta tiles, green wooden eaves, vintage aluminum windows.

There is an open-air balcony in the corner of the second floor. There are many plants on the balcony and a few clothes are drying.

The small building looks old at first glance, with red bricks and concrete exposed, and the simple windows and doors are nailed with screens and screen doors.

The steps of the door were mottled with large stones, and there were a lot of bricks and wood piles on both sides of the stone road, as well as some miscellaneous equipment and straw piles.

I looked at this two-story building and my mouth widened.

I once heard from my mother that the housing policy was not implemented in the past, and the village was not strict in management, and each household had some money to build a house.

The villagers were so proud that they were all thirsty.

My mother's stepfather has good conditions in Xun Village, otherwise my grandmother would not have left the city and married into the countryside.

But I never thought the house would be so big.

Not only that, there are also many solar panels on the slope roof, which is too different from what I imagined to be rural.

Mom, you really grew up here?This house feels like it can accommodate ten bedrooms!I looked unbelievable.

My uncle and my mother both laughed, how could they be so exaggerated?

You packed up again... That solar panel is still here for a long time!My mother hasn't come back for many years, and she feels a little emotional when she feels a little trembling.

It's Ah. Now the policy is strictly managed, and renovation is very troublesome and basically impossible. So I can't move outside the house, so I just renovated the house.All the rags piled in the main hall and the hall were thrown away, and the water pipes were replaced with new ones.Solar panels are useful, but I added another one last year.It is particularly inconvenient to clean such a large place.I have now blocked the attic and I don’t think about buying things in the empty place.

Everyone walked into the house together. There were huge main halls and stairs in the door, empty and nothing was left.

On the left is the dining room, with a large rectangular table in the middle and strip stools around it.

My uncle said that he basically didn't need it here, and he only invited workers during the busy farming season, or those who delivered goods and seedlings came to give them a place to eat and rest.

On the right is the kitchen, and the facilities here are all available.

It can be seen that my uncle has spent a lot of effort here, which is very fashionable and modern.

There is also a large space above the floor without anything. There is a master bedroom on the left, and two bedrooms and a bathroom on the right.

My uncle lives in the largest master bedroom. The room is square and not exquisite, but the walls are painted very white, the floor is very clean, and there is a cabinet-style air conditioner in the corner.

The room is divided into three parts, one side is the bed, the other side is the sofa, the coffee table and the TV.

In the middle is a large table filled with books, documents and computers.

I can imagine that my uncle spends most of his time at home in this room.

The house is not as luxurious as my home.However, the rooms here are large in size and high in ceilings. The so-called two-bedroom, one-living room and three-bedroom and one-living room in the city are simply incomparable.

My room is on the other side.

Since I was a child, I rarely traveled far away. When I thought about it carefully, I rarely even slept in unfamiliar rooms or unfamiliar beds.

Knowing that my uncle is nearby makes me feel much more at ease.

The room was only one-third of my uncle's bedroom, but it was almost twice as big as my bedroom at home.

The wooden bed is in the middle of the room, with a desk next to the window and a huge wardrobe next to it.

The south-facing windows are high and wide, and the abundant sunlight shines into the room, not only exposing the sun but also being so bright that you can't open your eyes.

My uncle was not ready for my arrival, and a layer of ashes fell into the house.

He first powered up an old and window-type air conditioner. After turning it on, the air conditioner buzzed a few times, and the air conditioner was blown out soon.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and my mother and uncle also had the same expression.

In such hot weather, if there is no air conditioning in the house, it will not be able to sleep.

After I decided to use this room, the three of them started cleaning and wiping.

Fortunately, it was just some floating soil, and the room quickly became brand new.

Although the furniture is old and simple, each piece is sturdy and durable. With the wide view outside the window and the quiet environment, there is really nothing to complain about.

The countryside is very simple, I hope you can get used to it, my uncle brought my box in and said to me.

I walked to the table and looked up and saw the endless green fields. On the clear blue sky, a few light clouds were floating slowly.

The view in front of the window is so wide that I can even see the sunlight casting the shadow of the clouds into the sky and the earth.

Such a peaceful and peaceful scenery can quickly calm down even if you are full of irritability.

I almost forgot the fact that my mother drove me away and was about to get married, which seemed very far away from me.

It's much better than I thought, I said sincerely.

You don’t have to worry, as long as there is internet at home, she doesn’t care where she lives.As my mother said, she put a brand new set of sheets, bedding, and pillowcases in her hand on the bed.

Her tone was more like a joke, but she reminded me.

The main reason why my mother gets along poorly with me is that I can’t control my mouth. When she tells me to do something or asks me to help, I always sneer and sneer.

Now that I have changed my environment, I must be careful, and it must not be annoying.

This uncle hardly knows me, and I can reshape my image as a good girl I love.

Shanshan, pack your luggage, and my uncle and I will move other things in the car in.My mother has always been decisive and hastily returned home after settling me down.

I nodded and watched them walk out of the house.My mother wanted me to stay for a while now, and she had a lot of things to say to her uncle in private.Her life, her little lover, will definitely include me.
