When the dark clouds dispersed and the moon hung high in the sky again, we went into the water again.
"It's too late today, haha", Chunhua said with a smile.
"Yeah, but the weather is the most comfortable right now," I said.
"Haha, do you feel comfortable when the weather is cooler or something else?" Chunhua joked with a smile.
"It's all comfortable, very comfortable," I said quickly.
"That's right. The key is mood. If you are in a good mood, you will feel comfortable under any conditions. If you are in a bad mood, you will not feel happy even if you are soaking in a honey pot." Chunhua told a truth. This is not like what a girl younger than me would say. I think this is probably a summary of her experience in working for several years.
"Well, let's go, we should go back," I nodded and said.
"Well, I really can't bear to go back," Chunhua nodded and said helplessly.
"It's okay, come back to my place and talk more," I said.
"Okay, this is a good suggestion. Anyway, you are the only one at home," Chunhua said excitedly.
We went ashore, packed ourselves up, and returned home. There is no doubt that that night, we almost had a great time. It was not until dawn the next morning that we got up exhausted. After a simple wash, Chunhua reluctantly returned to her home.
I originally planned to return to the countryside early in the morning, but I had no choice but to catch up on half of the day's sleep in the countryside. I tidied up the house again in the afternoon, and did not return to the countryside on my motorcycle until dark.
When it was almost dark, Chunhua came to my yard again and said he wanted to see me off. She threw herself into my arms and we held each other tightly.
"Brother Xiao Lin, don't be burdened. It's okay. Just think of it as my gift to you to go to college," Chunhua said softly.
"But, but this gift is too expensive, me, me", I said hesitantly.
"Is it expensive? As long as you are happy," Chunhua said with a smile.
"Of course I'm happy. Chunhua, it's not easy to start a business next time. Take care of yourself. If you need my help, just ask," I said.
"Well, I know. It's no problem. I've been mentally prepared for a long time. No matter how big the difficulty is, I'm not afraid of it. In addition, brother Xiao Lin, our affairs are only between us. Let's keep a good memory. In the future, we are not allowed to do this again. We are still like when we were children. You are my brother Xiao Lin, okay?" Chunhua said, I know she is dispelling my worries.
"Well, thank you", I nodded and said sincerely.
"Haha, thank you for what? I thank you too. I'm very happy." Chunhua said with a smile, "Let's go quickly. It's getting dark. Pay attention to safety. Come back to the village when you're empty."
"Okay, I get it." I said goodbye to Chunhua, my wife Cuiying, my second grandfather, my old house, and rode a motorcycle back to my hometown. Until I took the admission notice to register at the university, I had no chance to come back and see them again.
"Xiao Lin, are you back?" Sister Xiao Rui, who heard the sound of the motorcycle, ran out of her yard and greeted me warmly.
"Well, I tidied up my house in the country and came back," I said.
"Oh, how about we go for a walk after dinner later?" Sister Xiaorui said happily, regardless of my hard work throughout the day and night.
"Okay, have you eaten? I'll call you when I get home and have eaten," I said, pushing open the yard door and entering my yard.
"Why are you coming back so late at night? How unsafe is it?" My mother complained when she saw that I appeared at home without any warning.
"It's cool to come back at night. It will be dark after I finish cleaning the house," I explained to my mother.
"Looking at how exhausted you are, are you that tired of cleaning the house?" Mom is still good at finding problems. She looked at me and asked.
"Yes, I didn't sleep at noon. I have been busy. I cleaned everything inside and outside. I am tired." I said with a smile.This is a very reasonable explanation, but I dare not tell my mother the real reason for feeling tired.
"You do this once in a while, but your mother and I have to clean up every now and then." Mom said with a smile, and asked me to wash my hands and eat.
"Hey, Xiaolin, should you consider going to the county to have a look? Xiaoya has called me several times," her mother said while eating.
"Who knows if the admission notice has arrived? I originally thought about waiting for the admission notice to come up and play with Xiaoya for a few days. How about this? I stay at home for a day and go up the day after tomorrow? You can't let me stay at home with you and dad for a day. Tomorrow is the weekend, so you should have some rest," I said.
"Haha, it doesn't matter whether you accompany us or not, Xiaoya needs your company." Mom smiled and joked.
"Mom, my dear mother, what are you talking about? Hey, Mom, can I ask you a question?" I smiled and asked seriously.
"Ask your question," my mother said.
"Actually, I don't know where to start. Mom, tell me the truth. You said that Xiaoya and I played together when we were young. I believe it. Xiaoya also said that she still remembers some things. When we grow up, you are still so supportive of us playing together. And it's not just you and my dad, but also Xiaoya's parents. As long as Xiaoya and I play together, you are very supportive. This doesn't seem to be common sense. After all, Xiaoya and I have grown up," I said.
"Haha, what do you want to ask?" My mother smiled, glanced at my father, and then said to me.
"I, I just want to ask you, what is the relationship between Xiaoya and I? We are not brother and sister, are we? Did you give my sister Xiaoya to Uncle Zhang's family?" I said.
"Haha, how could you have such an idea? You and Xiaoya are only a few months apart in age, how can they be siblings? I can tell you responsibly that there is no blood relationship between you and Xiaoya. You are my biological child, and Xiaoya is also your uncle Zhang's biological daughter. You can't tell Xiaoya this kind of idea, and it will affect the relationship between Xiaoya and her parents." After listening to my words, my mother laughed, and even my father, who was always more serious, laughed.
"Then, then, I don't understand even more, why do you care so much about my relationship with Xiaoya?" I asked doubtfully.
"Haha, isn't this simple? Me, your mother, your Uncle Zhang and your aunt, the four of us went to the countryside together and went to school together. We have a very good relationship, just like brothers and sisters. We are human beings and hope that this relationship can continue to your generation. How wonderful is that?" My father smiled and said.
"Haha, well, that's right. What your father said makes sense. That's how it is. Didn't you realize that you treat your Uncle Zhang and your aunt like sons? We all think so," my mother also added.
"Oh," I said, pretending to be suddenly enlightened. In fact, I had another question in my mind, but I just didn't have the nerve to ask it for a while.
"When I get to the county seat, I will have the opportunity to communicate with Xiaoya again. Let's hear what she thinks. There is no way she can do without criminal law about this matter." I secretly made up my mind. I don’t want to find the answer from my parents anymore, and I guess they won’t tell me.
