Chapter 29 Yellow leaves falling in the autumn wind (13)

Tomorrow is National Day.The agencies and schools in the small county are actually closed today. On the street, there were a lot more people than usual.The shops were crowded with people buying things; there was actually a long queue at the butcher's shop - here, the public's meat could not be sold at all.The housewives hold their well-dressed children in their hands and hold big baskets on their arms, and bargain with the villagers in the free market. All the crowd put on new clothes.Groups of girls with disheveled hair squeezed out of the entrance of the bath.Here and there, the gongs and drums are booming, the silk strings are melodious, and the singing is loud and clear.Cleaning is everywhere, as if hygiene has become an important thing these days.Red palace lanterns, five-star red flags and colorful flags have been hung on the gates of some institutions, and four big characters of "Happy National Day" in gold are pasted on them.This season is when the sun is shining and the sky is clear. Coupled with the warm atmosphere of the festival, people's faces are brought smiles, and the city has become more lovable.

Liying was busy early in the morning. She cleaned up the house first.She is an exquisite person, and this home is also worthy of attention.She was busy sweeping, clearing, and rearranging the house.Although it is very tiring, the spirit is very high; it all belongs to her! She ironed a set of old Lu's navy blue woolen clothes and put them beside the pillow on the bed for him to wear in the morning.Then I took Lingling's beautiful floral dress out of the box and put it on her. After finishing everything at home, she took a big bamboo basket to buy vegetables and meat.Old Lu had given instructions to the leaders (and friends) of the relevant departments two days ago, so she actually just went to bring back all kinds of holiday things.

She came out of this "back door" and entered that "back door".The contents of the basket were too heavy for her to lift.These things are top-grade items in the National Day supplies, but many of them are "disposal items", and the price is so cheap that she feels a little embarrassed.She sent back one basket and went out to "collect" another.Tobacco, sprinkles, tea, sugar, chicken, mutton, pork, vegetables... These things she took out from some people's homes (Old Lu had a note in her hand). Carrying these things, she admired her husband even more.What a capable man he is!She never imagined that her man could eat so much in this city!She seems to have realized deeply now: why old Lu often invites these people to eat and drink at home!

After she brought these things home, she couldn't help thinking about her shabby past: she and Guang Hou had saved a lot of money early on by cutting a few catties of meat for the festival and buying two pieces of clothes.Now, for next to nothing, stuff fills up the kitchen in no time!She now further believes that she is really on the right path to divorce. She was extremely excited today, and her heart almost beat faster than usual.This is mainly because she is still facing an important event: her dear son will come to her this afternoon.Her nose couldn't help being sore again and again; her working hands and walking legs were trembling.

After she prepared the things for the festival, she spent a long time going to the street to buy holiday gifts for her son.She first went to the department store to buy a fashionable children's coat and a sky blue sweater for her son.Then I went to the children's toy cabinet and bought a red car (the same as the one Lu Ruoqin bought); a small plane that could run but not fly; I also bought a long gun and a small pistol. Then she went to the food store and bought a big bag of crispy fried peanut beans that her son loved.Everything else is already in the house. After lunch, Lingling went to the school to rehearse the art program. Lao Lu and the bureau chief led people from the county education bureau and teaching and research section to visit the retired old teachers and advanced workers in the education system in the city.Both father and daughter said that they should come back later at night, and that they should not make dinner as early as usual.

She prepares dinner slowly at home alone.Her heart was in a mess; she went to get a kitchen knife, but found a rolling pin, scooped the noodles into the mixing bowl, and then poured the noodles on the chopping board inexplicably. As soon as she heard footsteps outside the door, she ran out quickly.However, she was disappointed again and again. According to her calculations, Ruoqin and Bingbing woke up after lunch, and it was only about ten miles from Gaomiao to the city. They should have arrived long ago. She leaned on the door frame in a daze, and she seemed to be able to see the movement of the sun in the sky.She suddenly thought again: Will they come?

Ah, why didn't she think about it!Yes, it's entirely possible they won't come!Guanghou may not be willing to let the child see her, and Ruoqin may not necessarily want to see her brother that much!She just wrote a letter to express her wish, but at Gaomiao, how can she do what she wants them to do?They are practically all hating this home! It's over!They definitely won't come! She looked desperately at the slanting sun, and felt so dizzy that she couldn't even stand up. She sat down on the threshold, covered her face with her hands, and cried bitterly... "Liying!" She heard a familiar voice calling her.

She raised her head in panic, and suddenly saw Lu Ruoqin standing in front of her holding her dear Bingbing.She stood up from the threshold all at once, her lips were trembling violently, and she opened her arms frantically and rushed over; she saw in her dim tears that her son also stretched out those two fat little arms to her...
