Along with the final exams of the other grades comes the graduation exams for the third graders.The importance of the graduation examination for them lies in whether they can take the admissions examinations of major universities, and also in whether they can successfully enter the university to start a new life.

And for Yuan Xiangnan, the last short vacation before the graduation exam, he can finally take this opportunity to go back to the countryside to see his grandfather.

With a little luggage, he bid farewell to his father, sister and the Jiang family, and boarded the train back.

When Yuan Xiangnan returned to the countryside, it was almost time for dinner.Seeing that the door of the house was closed tightly, he smiled, and took out the key placed under the small flower pot in front of the door to open the door.Walking into the house, a familiar feeling came over his face. The memory of being in Taipei for more than two months was like a dream, but the luggage at his feet reminded him that he had just returned.

He filled the cup on the table with warm water, screwed on the lid, and walked slowly into the field.Often times like this, grandpa should have gone to work in the fields.When Yuan Xiangnan walked into his field, he saw a skinny old man wielding a hoe, carefully hoeing the ground again and again.

"Grandpa!" He yelled at the figure in the field, as if to vent his longing for this period of time, his incompatibility with feeling different in life, and his excitement of coming back again.

Hearing this sound, the old man turned his head suddenly, and saw the young man standing on the ridge of the field, holding the water glass he forgot to bring, and looking at him with a smile on his face.The wind blew through the corner of the boy's clothes, caressed the boy's delicate face, and brought that familiar temperament and voice to the old man.

He hastily dropped the hoe, and was about to step forward excitedly, but after walking a few steps, he saw his hand and the boy who had just been working in the field, wearing a vigorous, clean and refreshing white shirt, stopped and stood in the field. Li smiled cheerfully: "Nan Nan, why are you back?"

Yuan Xiangnan watched his grandfather stop, and he didn't care that the soil in the field had just been refurbished, which might stain his shoes, so he immediately walked a few steps to the old man, put the water glass aside, he called grandpa, and smiled Open your arms and hug grandpa.

Looking at the child who was still so close to him, the old man's eyes were a little moist, and his voice was a little choked up. He reached out and wiped his pants, and hugged the child who had grown up in front of him: "Oh, come back!" Yes, I'm back."

The grandfather and grandson, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, chatted in the fields for a while, and then went home together.

There were a few simple home-cooked dishes on the old wooden dining table. Yuan Xiangnan brought out the last bowl of soup from the kitchen, and saw that his grandfather had already opened the chair for him.

The two smiled at each other.

"Nan Nan, the dishes you cook are the same as before. It seems that your craftsmanship hasn't deteriorated." Grandpa ate the dishes on the plate and said with a smile, "Is there any help in Dad's restaurant?"

Yuan Xiangnan shook his head and said, "No, Grandpa. Dad won't let me help out, because he's afraid I'll be tired. Besides, the school work over there is quite stressful."

"Oh, study hard. Then you will have a good life in the future! Our family, Nan Nan, will be graduating from the second year of high school soon. When you reach the third year of high school, you have to consider going to college." Grandpa thought that he would have more in the future. Yuan Xiangnan, who has a lot of room for development, happily put a few pieces of meat in his bowl.

"Grandpa," Yuan Xiangnan said helplessly looking at the meat in the bowl, "It's not like you don't know..."

"Okay, okay, eat a few yuan less." This child has never liked meat since he was a child, and he has to be coaxed to eat it every time.Alas, Grandpa Yuan looked at Yuan Xiangnan's body, why did he feel that the child seemed to have lost weight?

"Nan Nan, have you taken good care of yourself over there these few months? Have you been sick?"

Yuan Xiangnan paused while holding the vegetables, shook his head quickly, blinked his eyes and said, "No, no, grandpa, don't worry!"

Grandpa Yuan looked at the wide-eyed Yuan Xiangnan who pretended to be sincere, and shook his head.The child just wanted to keep him from worrying, "Okay, how is getting along with my sister and dad? Is Xiangqin in the third grade now? How is she studying?"

Thinking of the series of events before, Yuan Xiangnan's eyes darkened, and he replied yes.

"My sister is in the third grade, and she is about to prepare for the graduation exam. But I haven't asked my sister which university she wants to go to, she is still very serious about her studies!"

Maybe it's because he hasn't been together for too long, he can't get along with his father like a sister, and he can't act like a baby and lose his temper with his father like a sister.Besides, he is already a big boy, and he can't justify acting like a baby.My sister was raised very well by her father, and she can pursue what she likes wantonly. Although her grades are not very good, she has a lot of friends and a group of people who like her.And sometimes, he felt that his relationship with his sister might not be as close as that of his sister's friends.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I get along very well with them! Come on, eat quickly, don't you like meat the most? This time I specially made these meats that you like to eat, eat quickly. "

Grandpa Yuan ate the meat from his grandson in the bowl, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.Nan Nan kept changing the subject. He knew how much Nan Nan longed for his father's love, and how he wished he could get along with his sister. When he was a child, he would call his father not to leave every night in his dreams.It's just that Ah Cai's ability is limited, and the daughter-in-law left early, alas.

Yuan Xiangnan felt the life of birds chirping in the morning and melons singing late at night in the countryside. Every time he breathed in the fresh air in the fields and looked at the green fields in the distance, he felt that his mood relaxed a lot.It's just that before he could enjoy life in the countryside, he was driven back by his grandfather ahead of schedule.

Grandpa Yuan packed Yuan Xiangnan's luggage, muttering in his mouth: "Nannan, listen to me. Don't wait until the last day of the holiday to go back, or you will have to go to class the next day, and you will be very tired. You should go one day in advance Let's go, rest for a day and recharge your energy before going to class, this will get twice the result with half the effort!"

Seeing his grandfather who was obviously very reluctant to pack his luggage while urging him to leave, Yuan Xiangnan couldn't laugh or cry.

"Okay, Grandpa." Yuan Xiangnan stepped forward and hugged the thin body of the old man, feeling the body of the hard-working farmer on the land, and said obediently: "Okay, Grandpa. I understand, you have to take good care of yourself, Eat on time, don't just eat meat. I will call you to check the post."

He hugged his grandfather tightly, "Grandpa, I will miss you."

Grandpa Yuan turned around, looked at the red-eyed child, patted Yuan Xiangnan's head with his dry, shriveled hands full of thin wounds and calluses, grinned and said, "Silly boy, what do you want?" .In Taipei, you have to live well and study hard. Waiting for you to honor me, well, hurry up and pack my luggage for my old man, pack it up and cook."

After speaking, he turned and left.Yuan Xiangnan saw at the corner, grandpa wiped his face with his hands, as if he was wiping something.

The next day Yuan Xiangnan was woken up early by his grandfather, packed his luggage and sent him to the bus to the train station.Yuan Xiangnan watched the old man walk a few steps with the advancing bus from the car window, stretched his neck, and waved to him vigorously.Yuan Xiangnan thought that he had to work hard and bring his grandfather to Taipei as well.

The day before the holiday, he ran away from Jiang Zhishu, and he just realized that he liked Jiang Zhishu in a panic, and he subconsciously avoided this topic during the holiday.Now that he returned to Jiang's house after his vacation in the countryside ahead of schedule, Yuan Xiangnan looked at the gate in front of him, feeling a little nervous for some reason.

He put down his luggage, rang the doorbell, and patted his face. He was woken up too early this morning by his grandfather, and now he is really sleepy.

The door opened, and he straightened up immediately.He stopped halfway through the smile on his face, and it was Jiang Zhishu with a cold face who opened the door.Yuan Xiangnan, who hadn't figured out how to face Jiang Zhishu at all, was flustered and his heart beat faster.

"I," Yuan Xiangnan told himself not to be nervous, not to be nervous, "Grandpa asked me to come back early to rest...so I came back early."

"Ah."

Jiang Zhishu responded, without any intention of letting Yuan Xiangnan in.

Yuan Xiangnan swallowed, and changed the subject, "Naoki, where's Auntie?"

"Take Yuki to grandma's house."

"Oh oh." Will that let me in?Yuan Xiangnan scratched his ears and cheeks in his heart, and could only smile awkwardly.

"Your dad and my dad went to the class reunion."

"Hmm... Ah!" Yuan Xiangnan's eyes widened, and he looked at Jiang Zhishu in shock, "So now at home..."

"It's just me and your sister." Jiang Zhishu looked at the shocked Yuan Xiangnan with playfulness in his eyes.

What? !Yuan Xiangnan was a little unbelievable... How could adults let her sister, a girl, stay with a boy?In this way, how bad is the impact...

But thinking of her sister who has been looking forward to getting along with Jiang Zhishu, Yuan Xiangnan feels a little depressed, probably her sister will be very happy.

"Okay, let's go." After admiring Yuan Xiangnan's expression change, Jiang Zhishu picked up his luggage, turned around and walked inside.What this person was thinking just now has already shown on his face, okay?

Yuan Xiangnan quickly closed the door and walked inside.

"Zao Shu, who is ringing the doorbell?" Yuan Xiangqin came out of the kitchen with a knife in her apron and saw Yuan Xiangnan standing in the living room.

She was a little surprised and a little annoyed: "Nan Nan, why did you come back so soon! Didn't it mean tomorrow?" In this way, she couldn't be alone with Naoki.

Yuan Xiangnan looked at Jiang Zhishu who was about to carry the luggage upstairs, and hurriedly replied: "Well, grandpa told me to come here first." He hurried to the stairs, trying to grab the luggage and take it by himself.

It's just that there is a huge disparity in strength, so Yuan Xiangnan could only watch Jiang Zhishu take his long legs and easily carry his luggage to his room.

"I asked your sister to make dinner, you..." Jiang Zhishu put down his luggage and said to Yuan Xiangnan who followed.

"I'll help my sister too!" After saying this, Yuan Xiangnan turned around and went downstairs as if hiding something.

Jiang Zhishu sighed helplessly, what was he hiding from?He just wanted to ask if he wanted to take a break.After all, the sleepiness and exhaustion on his face were so obvious.Seeing Yuan Xiangnan hiding like an ostrich with his head buried in the sand, Jiang Zhishu was in a bad mood and went back to his room to read a book.
