Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Yesterday, I went back to my parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year. The villagers were coming and going, so it was inconvenient for them to come out. And Song Shuangshuang's condition was not convenient for her to come at night.

So on the morning of the third day of the Chinese New Year, the four of them took their things up the mountain while the villagers were having lunch.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jingcheng and his family happened to go up the mountain to see Grandpa Jiang.

The room was not big to begin with and couldn't hold 12 people.

But since they were already here, they had to wish Grandpa Jiang and his family a happy new year. They put the apples and frozen pears they brought outside the house and the four of them squeezed into the house.

Grandpa Jiang and Grandpa Sun were sitting on the kang, and Father and Mother Jiang were there too.

Several people greeted Grandpa Jiang and Grandpa Sun together. When it was Jiang's father and mother's turn, Song Shuangshuang said with a smile that she wanted to greet them again tomorrow, but she didn't expect to meet them here today.

"It's okay. Today is the day to pay New Year's greetings. Have you visited the village chief?" Jiang's father asked. He was afraid that the children would forget to pay New Year's greetings to the village chief.

"Not yet. We'll go there early tomorrow morning."

Several people could tell that Father Jiang was reminding them.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Song Shuangshuang and the others said they would go back first.

Usually it is not convenient for Jiang's father to come up, so they have to be considerate and not disturb their family's conversation. In addition, the room is small, and Jiang Jingcheng and Jiang Xuyang were driven out by Grandpa Jiang when they came in, and they are still freezing outside.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Grandpa Jiang called in Jiang Jingcheng and asked the two brothers to send the people back. He still remembered the last time Song Shuangshuang fell.

It is not as dangerous during the day as at night, but they are also afraid that some villagers will see these children going up the mountain and think of them.

With the Jiang Jingcheng brothers, there would be other excuses.

Several people walked down the mountain together. Jiang Xuyang knew what his brother was thinking, and from time to time he directed the topic to Song Shuangshuang. However, Jiang Jingcheng interrupted him and glared at him threateningly several times, so Jiang Xuyang shut up.

Song Shuangshuang just pretended that she didn't understand, and kept looking down the mountain. The journey was quite smooth, without falling or stumbling.

When they got to the foot of the mountain, the Song Shuangshuang siblings immediately separated from the Jiang Jingcheng brothers, using the excuse that they had other things to do, without saying a word.

While speaking, Song Youlin stared at the Jiang Jingcheng brothers for a long time, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

Jiang Xuyang felt guilty being stared at and didn't even dare to look Song Youlin in the eye.

Jiang Jingcheng also knew that his thoughts had been seen through by them, and if he tried to hide them, it would make him appear guilty and have other thoughts.

After the four of them walked away, Jiang Jingcheng didn't even look at Jiang Xuyang, and walked home in silence. Jiang Xuyang followed behind him obediently. After entering the house, Jiang Jingcheng looked at Jiang Xuyang expressionlessly, with a cold tone,

"Jiang Xuyang, what do you think?"

Jiang Xuyang didn't dare to look Jiang Jingcheng in the eye. He lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

The last time his brother was angry, it was because he didn't want him to tell anyone about it. Today, he was too excited and said it directly in front of Song Zhiqing and others.

When he first came to Jiangjia Village and caused trouble everywhere, his brother never used this tone.

Neither of the brothers spoke, and time seemed to stand still.

The depressing atmosphere was not broken until Jiang's father and mother returned.

Jiang's father and mother saw that their door was open, but there was no sound in the house, so they went in to see what was going on.

Seeing the eldest son looking at the younger son expressionlessly, and the younger son looking as if he had done something wrong, he realized something was wrong.

"Jingcheng, what's wrong?"

Jiang Jingcheng didn't answer Jiang's mother's question and walked out without saying a word.

Jiang's father and mother had basically never seen their eldest son like this. Jiang Jingcheng would talk to his younger sons no matter how angry he was with them. This was the first time.

Jiang's father also looked cold and asked his younger son how he had made his brother angry, as he was fine just now.

Jiang Xuyang didn't dare to say anything. He just said in a low voice that he just made his brother angry and nothing happened.

Hearing him say this, Jiang's mother also got angry and shouted, "Jiang Xuyang!"

Jiang Xuyang shuddered, but still refused to say anything.

How could he dare to say it? If he did, his brother might throw him out and never talk to him again.

Jiang's father and mother didn't know what to say, so they had to go back to the house and find time to ask their eldest son what happened.

Jiang Jingcheng went to the mountain as soon as he left the house. He did not go to Grandpa Jiang's house, but went in another direction. He wanted to be alone and quiet, and would not go home until dark.

Jiang's mother was extremely worried at home. It would be fine if it was normal, but her eldest son might have gone hunting in the mountains. It was New Year's Day, and he didn't take anything with him. Where could he go?

Jiang's mother had no mood to cook and would go out from time to time to see if her son had returned.

Jiang's father's persuasion was useless, so he had to go to the kitchen to heat up the rice. Jiang Xuyang looked at his mother's anxious look in the room, and did not dare to speak. He silently accompanied Jiang's father to the kitchen.

When Jiang's father heard him come in, he turned around and asked him how he had offended his brother in the morning.

"No, nothing. I just made him angry."

Father Jiang took a deep breath and didn't want to talk anymore.

Jiang Jingcheng pushed open the door and saw Jiang's mother standing at the door, looking at the door anxiously. When she saw him come in, she hurried over.

"Where have you been? You didn't even come back for dinner during the New Year. Come in and warm up quickly. Mom will cook for you."

Seeing her son come back, Jiang's mother finally felt relieved. She didn't even think about asking what happened in the morning and ran to the kitchen to cook for her son.

She knew her son and knew he must have been out all day.

Jiang Jingcheng walked into the room and lay down. He thought a lot that day, but he was still very confused.

Jiang's mother had set the table and didn't see her son come out, so she came in to see him.

"Are you worried about something?" Seeing her son lying on the kang and staring at the ceiling, Jiang's mother guessed that he was worried about something.

Jiang Jingcheng closed his eyes and sat up again, "Mom, it's okay, let's eat."

Outside the house, Jiang Xuyang sat obediently at the table. Seeing his elder brother's expressionless face, he knew that his brother was still angry and did not dare to say anything.

It was Chinese New Year’s Day and the only sound that could be heard at the dinner table was the clatter of dishes and chopsticks.

"Dad, Mom, you guys eat, I'm done."

This was the first time that Jiang Jingcheng left the table first. In the past, unless he was in a hurry to go out, he would always eat with Jiang's father and mother and then clean up the table.

Seeing that their son was discharged from the hospital again, Jiang's father and mother could no longer eat.

I want to talk to my son, but how can I talk to him when he doesn't even want to stay at home?

The couple once again turned their attention to their youngest son, and it seemed they had to start with him.

Jiang Xuyang felt a chill on his back...

On the other side, Jiang Jingcheng walked aimlessly in the village, thinking back to the expression on Song Shuangshuang's face when Jiang Xuyang brought up the topic today, and the way Song Youlin looked at him...

Before I knew it, I arrived at Song Shuangshuang's house.

Jiang Jingcheng didn't know how he got here. He was about to leave when he opened the door from the inside and met eyes with Song Youlin who opened the door.
