He walked into the courtyard and passed through the central room. When he saw the place where he played when he was a child, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart and quickly walked back to his house. However, when he reached the door, he saw that the door was locked and rusted. He sensed that there was no furniture inside at all. There were only a few empty houses. Could it be that his parents had moved away?
At this moment, the neighbor saw someone approaching. Zhu Siqi saw that it was his neighbor when he was young. At that time, he called him Aunt Xi. He quickly walked up to her and said,
"Aunty Xi, where are my family members? Did you know?"
Aunt Xi saw that this young man was talking to her and even called her Aunt Xi, but she didn't know. Seeing her like this, Zhu Siqi no longer recognized her." I'm a mistress. I played at your house every day when I was young. Don't you remember?"”
Aunt Xi took a closer look and realized that he looked a little like Zhu Kun. Only then did he know that it was Zhu Siqi, who had left home more than ten years ago." It's Mo. Your family has built a new house and now they've moved to the roadside outside. It's in the direction of Chaoyang. Come, I'll take you there."”
Aunt Xi was very enthusiastic. She had liked this child very much when she was young. If his parents knew that he had suddenly returned, they would be very happy.
Aunt Xi returned to her house, closed the door, and led Zhu Siqi out. On the way, she met someone who asked, and she immediately replied," This is Zhu Kun's mistress. He came back today and doesn't know where his house is. I'll bring him there."”
On the way, some people heard her and recognized Zhu Siqi. They all talked to him,
"Where have you been for the past ten years?"
"Has the poison in your body recovered?"
"When did you come back?"
"Does the family know?"
Zhu Siqi also answered them one by one, addressing them as Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Second Uncle, Little Uncle, and so on.
He walked to the road and walked in the direction he came from. He saw a two-story red brick house less than 100 meters away. There was a small lawn in front of him and a small courtyard behind him. There were a few miscellaneous houses.
At this moment, someone was already shouting outside Zhu Siqi's house," Zhu Kun, Teacher Zhu, your mistress is back. Come out quickly!"
Zhu Siqi's father might not be at home. His mother heard someone talking and immediately came out. When she saw the young man coming from afar, she knew that it was her son. Although he had grown taller and bigger, she was still worried every night. Every night in her dreams, she would think about how her son was now and whether his appearance had changed.
As he walked closer, he saw his mother at a glance. Her mother had aged, and there were many wrinkles on her face. Many of the black hair on her head had turned into silver. She walked over and hugged her mother. She could no longer hold back her tears and cried.
His mother was much shorter than him now. She patted his waist and said," Don't cry, don't cry. It's good that you're back. Hurry up and go into the house."”
There were also people at the side who advised," Yes, Mo, don't cry. It's a happy thing to be back. Why are you still crying? Hurry up and go into the house."”
Zhu Siqi and his mother came to the house and asked his mother," Where's Dad? Where did he go?”
Mother: " Your dad might have gone to someone else's house to play. He usually can't sit still at home and likes to go around chatting with others.
Little San, how have you been these ten years? Where's your master? Why didn't he come along? Is your body better? Have you eaten yet?"
Zhu Siqi felt warm in his heart when he saw his mother care so much about him. He told his mother everything that had happened between him and his master over the past ten years. He did not tell his mother about his martial arts or the fact that he had learned several foreign languages. He only said that his English was good. He did not hide anything else.
Mother Zhu heard that her son had lived alone on the mountain for more than ten years. She thought about how her son had been so playful when he was young. How could he live alone? She felt sorry for her son, but Zhu Siqi didn't care. He was used to it. At this time, Zhu Kun also heard that his son had come back. He quickly ran back. When the father and son met, Zhu Siqi cried again.
"Don't cry. You're all grown up now. Have you eaten?"
Zhu Siqi said that he was not hungry. Mother Zhu knew that her son had not eaten yet. Although she had just eaten at home, she still lit the fire and started cooking again.
Zhu Kun asked about Zhu Siqi again, and Zhu Siqi repeated what he had told his mother just now. Zhu Kun was very happy when he heard that his son had finished reading the textbooks for junior high and senior high. He used to be a teacher himself and thought that the best way for his children was to study more. Now that he saw his son so smart, he was also very happy.
"Although you've finished reading the textbook, you have to consolidate it well and do more exercises. Tomorrow, I'll give you a set of questions to see how well you've mastered them.”
Mother Zhu was a little angry when she heard Zhu Kun's words." Our son just came back, and you already know that he's going to study. He should rest well now and not do anything. Just eat at home every day."”
" Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Zhu Kun was happy and didn't argue.
At this time, Zhu Siqi also asked about the long-term pregnancy at home. Zhu Kun also told his son about his family.
A few years after Zhu Siqi left, the village secretary came to Zhu Kun and asked him to come back to be an accountant. At that time, the salary of private teachers was not high, and the conditions in the village were gradually improving. They even set up a collective factory. Zhu Kun thought about it and resigned. He returned to the village to work as an accountant. Later, the village set up two factories, one was an ironworks, and the other was a pipe casting factory. Zhu Kun also worked as an accountant in the two factories. The situation at home had also improved. A few years ago, they had built a new red brick house in their own field. Now, the eldest sister, Zhu Qigao, had gone to work with her classmates in Zhuhai before she could get into university. The second sister, Zhu Mei, had not gone to school after graduation. She had studied sewing at Chaoyang and had learned a craft.
At this time, Mrs. Zhu had also finished cooking and called her son to eat. There were not many dishes, only a piece of bacon and a bowl of poached eggs. Zhu Siqi had not eaten authentic hometown dishes for a long time, so he ate with relish. Seeing his son eat quickly, Mrs. Zhu called out from the side, Eat slowly, don't choke.
After dinner, Zhu Si's eldest uncle and second uncle also came to visit him. His eldest uncle lived a little above his house, and his second uncle's house was not far away. It was next to their old house.
When he asked about Zhu Siqi's situation, Zhu Siqi did not have to answer anymore. Zhu Kun and Mother Zhu were answering him. Zhu Siqi only had to respond twice," Yes, yes, yes," or something like that.
People in the countryside were very curious. Soon, people from the neighborhood came over to ask. Mother Zhu and Father Zhu also answered them one by one. It was obvious that they were very happy. They were not tired of answering too many questions. Instead, whenever someone came to their house, they would tell them about their son.
In the afternoon, her second sister, Zhu Mei, also came back. She was very happy to see her brother back. In the past, her parents would always sigh when they mentioned her brother. Now, when her parents saw her brother back today, they seemed to have become much younger.
The next day, her mother woke Zhu Siqi up early and said that she wanted to go to her grandmother's house to ask her grandmother, grandfather, and uncles to see him. Her mother had five sons and sisters. She was the eldest, followed by two younger brothers and two younger sisters. Zhu Siqi was the oldest of the five sisters. Although there was no concept of the eldest son or eldest grandson, her grandmother and grandfather had always liked this grandson. Since he was back this time, he definitely had to bring it to them.
Zhu Kun did not follow them to his grandmother's house this time. There were many things to do in the village factory, and he was very busy. He could only go home in the afternoon.
When they arrived at his grandmother's house, his two uncles, grandparents, and his mother asked him a lot of questions. Mother Zhu happily answered them one by one for her son and only returned after eating at his grandmother's house.
Zhu Kun also returned home. Although he had agreed to Mother Zhu not doing the questions for his son yesterday, he still found his daughter's mock college entrance examination papers from her third year of high school today. When Mother Zhu went to work in the fields, he handed them to his son and asked him to try.
Zhu Siqi knew that his father had high expectations of him, so he showed his own standards. There were many geniuses who were good at studying. At most, they would cause a sensation in the mountains. It would not affect him much when he went out in the future. Moreover, his good grades should be the greatest comfort to his parents.
He picked up the test papers and saw that there were seven sets of papers: language, mathematics, English, calendar, geography, foreign language, and Chinese. He took a pen from his father. Sand. Sha began to write. Zhu Kun watched from the side. He saw that his son did not need to think much about many of the questions and could directly write the answers. Even for the more difficult questions, he only thought about it a little more. He did not use the draft paper that Zhu Kun had prepared for him. It took him nearly two hours to finish the seven sets of papers. This was because Zhu Siqi's writing speed was not fast. If he could write faster, he might have taken less time. Zhu Kun was left with his mouth wide open, as if he could stuff seven or eight eggs into it. When he left the room, he sensed that his mother had returned from the soil. He carried a basket of vegetables and ran to his mother. He took the basket from her hand and walked home with her.
Kun Zhu only came back to his senses after a while. He hadn't used a knowledgeable person in years, and he was only a beginner teacher in the past, so he put away the test papers and prepared to go to his former colleague, Xie Taibin, who was now transferred to Teacher Gao's house. He wanted him to find a few teachers to mark the test papers.
Seeing that Nanny Zhu had returned, she told her that she had something to do and that she might not be back for dinner, so she left in a hurry.
Zhu Kun didn't come back for dinner at night. He only came back when it was almost time to sleep. When he came back, his face was flushed. He saw that Nanny Zhu and Zhu Siqi's second sister, Zhu Mei, were waiting for him. As soon as he entered, he said,
"Today, I asked Mo to do a set of mock college entrance examination papers. Do you know how many marks he got? "69o points." Before anyone could ask, he had already answered the question. Aunt Zhu and Zhu Mei were also surprised, but Zhu Siqi didn't feel anything. He knew that he was not far from full marks. At most, he made a small mistake when he wrote too fast. In addition, he might deduct some marks from his English. There shouldn't be any other mistakes.
"So high, getting into Peking University and Tsinghua University won't be a problem.”Zhu Mei said.
" Yeah, that's what Xie Taibin said too. I gave him the test paper to mark, and he also asked a few other teachers to mark it together. They couldn't believe it either, but I saw it with my own eyes," Kun Zhu was very excited.
"And they hope that after the New Year, the mistress will go directly to their graduating class and guarantee to go to Peking University and Tsinghua University.”
Zhu Siqi thought, Oh no, I don't want to go to these first-class universities. It's too ostentatious. Besides, Beijing must be very expensive. A meal in Zhengzhou cost more than ten yuan, but it would cost dozens in Beijing. My family's condition is not very good now. I should share the burden for my family. How can I ask my family to spend so much money on me? I can learn anywhere. As long as I have books, I can read a few books a day.
Thinking of this, Zhu Siqi did not say anything. He knew that it was useless to say anything. Which parent did not want their children to go to a famous university? Even if it was a little difficult and tiring, at least the pride of mentioning their son in front of others would not matter.
"Dad, I know how to handle my own matters. Besides, I don't like to go to a famous university.”Zhu Siqi suddenly said,"Master also told me not to be too ostentatious, or else something bad might happen in the future."
" Alright, alright, let's not talk about this for now. Everyone, go to sleep," Mother Zhu stopped them.
After a few days, Zhu Kun did not mention this matter again. He knew that his son had his own plans. After all, he had been alone for more than ten years. Even if he wanted him to go to Peking University, it would not be good if he did not like it. He already owed him enough and did not want him to do things that he did not like. Zhu Kun began to understand this point. He was a teacher himself, so he was more open-minded. He was not like ordinary parents who forced their children to go to a famous university. As long as his son had real ability, it would be fine.
