The next day, normal study, classes, and medical treatment began again.The days swing slowly like a pendulum.Political classes, anatomy classes, pathology classes, slides and microscopes in the laboratory, patients and medical records in the clinic.Wang Jianxin lived his life step by step, doing whatever he had to do, and his mind was as calm as a pool of water.

August 8th, Sunday.Wang Jianxin asked for leave early, and the instructor approved it happily, saying, "Go home and take a look, you haven't been back for two months."Wang Jianxin left the school, got on the bus, and wandered toward home.

Arriving near his home, Wang Jianxin got out of the car and turned into the familiar alley.The old locust tree at the entrance of the alley is still there, and under the shade there are a few old men playing chess, with the chess pieces clicking loudly.Wang Jianxin found a deserted corner and took out thirty kilograms of white flour and thirty kilograms of rice from the space. The flour bag was bulging and the rice bag was also heavy.He also took out five kilograms of pork and five kilograms of mutton and wrapped them in oil paper until they were frozen hard.He took out ten more cans - both fruit and meat cans, tin-covered, with colorful labels.

There was a lot of stuff, and he carried it in both hands. The flour bag was placed on his shoulders, the rice bag was tucked under his arm, and the cans and meat were carried in a net bag, which made a jingling sound when he walked.

Entering the courtyard, Aunt Wang in the front yard was picking beans at the door. When she saw Wang Jianxin, her eyes lit up: "Jianxin is back? Oops, carrying so many things again!" Aunt Liu in the middle yard stuck her head out and shouted into the backyard, "Fenglan, your Jianxin is back."Wang Jianxin greeted everyone and entered the backyard.

My sister-in-law was washing clothes in the yard, sitting on a small bench, rubbing the sheets on the washboard.When she saw Wang Jianxin carrying so many things, she quickly stood up, wiped her hands on her apron, and ran over to take the cans in the net bag.The can was heavy. She held it in both hands and said, "San'er, why did you buy so many things again?"

The eldest brother heard the noise and came out of the main room. He saw the white noodles and rice and hurried over to pick them up.He picked up the flour bag in one hand and the rice bag in the other, and said, "San'er, you have moved the entire Military Service Co., Ltd. back."Wang Jianxin smiled and did not answer.

Wang Jianxin came to the main room.My father was sitting next to the Eight Immortals table with a cigarette in his hand and several cigarette butts piled in the ashtray in front of him.My mother was sitting on the chair next to her, holding a piece of clothing in her hand. She was sewing with her head down, but the stitches came out in a mess.

Niu Niu was the first one to run over, wearing two little knots and a small floral skirt, with a round and rosy face.She hugged Wang Jianxin's legs, raised her head, smiled so much that her little white teeth were exposed, and shouted "Uncle, little uncle".

Wang Jianxin bent down to pick up Niu Niu and kissed her hard on the face, which made Niu Niu giggle.Then he took out a red apple from his bag and handed it to her.Niu Niu held the apple in her two little hands, took a bite, took off a small piece of skin, and chewed it.

The younger sister Lili also ran in from outside, sweating and with mud on her face.When she saw the apple in Niu Niu's hand, her eyes lit up.Wang Jianxin took out another handful of candies and an apple from his satchel and handed them to her.Lili took the candy and apple and grinned, showing her two missing front teeth.

Wang Jianxin put things on the Eight Immortals table - two Pegasus and a large front door, neatly stacked.Then he glanced at his mother. Her eyes were red, as if she had cried, her eyes were a little swollen, and her eyelids were drooped.The father smoked in silence, the smoke drifting away in the main room. He didn't say a word, and his brows were knitted into knots.

Wang Jianxin felt that something must have happened.

"Mom, what happened?" he asked.

Mother didn't say anything. She lowered her head and sewed, inserting the needle into the cloth, pulling it out, and then inserting it again.Her lips moved, and finally she just said: "San'er, what do you want to eat? Mom will cook it for you."

Wang Jianxin looked around the room - his second brother was not there, and neither was his legendary second sister-in-law.After being married for such a long time, he has never seen his second sister-in-law.My second sister-in-law went back to her parents' home last time, but she's still not here this time.
