    The next day, early in the morning, shouting came from outside the yard.

    "I'm coming!"

    Grandpa and Jiang Tian went out, and there was a dilapidated van parked at the door.

    The two of them got into the car. In the driver's seat was a middle-aged man in his forties named Xu Zhaofu. Jiang Tian should call him Uncle Xu.

    Sitting in the passenger seat is Xu Zhaofu¡¯s wife, Aunt Liu.

    "You didn't leave anything behind, right? Let's go?"

    "No, let's go. What a coincidence. When you come back to your hometown, let us take a ride. Sorry to trouble you." Grandpa said.

    "Uncle Ming, what you said is that I had dinner at your house when I was young, so I don't need to be so polite. When I came back yesterday, I brought the few things left at home with me. My mother always thought about it at home.  When I get older, I like to be nostalgic."

    "Yes, how is your mother's health?" Grandpa asked.

    "It's not good. I feel very depressed. We don't know what to do. We get up at three or four in the morning to deliver goods. After delivering the goods, we go to the morning market to sell vegetables. By the time we finish our work, it's already noon.  I went home to have a quick meal, and then I was busy in the afternoon, so I didn¡¯t have much time to spend with her.¡±

    Xu Zhaofu said as he drove the car.

    Grandpa nodded, "If your mother is in a bad mood, it's because she has been working too hard for you. She wants to find something to do to help you relieve your stress. And she is bored at home all day with no one to talk to, so she must be in a bad mood."  "

    "We have also considered these things. It's just that my mother is so old. It's really uneasy for her to live in this mountain village. As you know, the roads in our village are not convenient and the circuit is not very stable.  There is no signal from time to time. If you are not feeling well and there happens to be no signal, wouldn¡¯t that be a bad thing?¡±

    "Yes, this really needs to be changed." Grandpa agreed.

    Xu Zhaofu looked behind him through the rearview mirror, "Uncle Ming, you can't change it. Nowadays, people are moving towards the city. Even in some rural areas in the plains, there are only old people left. The environment like ours is relatively harsh.  Many of the mountain villages have been abandoned, and the whole village has moved to the towns. Sooner or later, our village will be the same."

    "You don't have to worry. Those sons and daughters are doing well. There is also a grandson with a college degree. There is no problem in supporting you."

    Seemingly mentioning school issues, Xu Zhaofu's wife Aunt Liu turned around and asked: "Son, how did you study in high school? What are some good ways? My son just can't study, and he doesn't know what to do all day long."  What, you see, this is already the third year of high school. The college entrance examination will be held next year. I took a preliminary test before and my score ranked 30th in the class. There are only fifty people in total. I don¡¯t know what the grade ranking is. Don¡¯t say this kind of score.  I passed the first exam, but I couldn¡¯t pass the second exam.¡±

    Aunt Liu had a sad look on her face, "You said that we are so busy and exhausted every day because we just want to send our children to college, but we are not able to live up to it at all. I remember that you were very worry-free when you were in school. I am really envious.  If only my son was half as obedient as you."

    Jiang Tian had a general understanding just by listening to her talk.

    "Aunt Liu, don't put too much pressure on your children, especially in the third year of high school. This is the time when the pressure is greatest. Facing the mountain of college entrance examination, many students are burdened with huge pressure. If you put more pressure at home,  , students can easily break down.¡±

    ???

    "What, why didn't I know about this?" Aunt Liu was surprised.

    Qingyuan No. 1 Middle School is the high school where her son attends. This kind of jumping off a building has a huge psychological impact on the child.

    "Why are I telling you this? It's none of our business."

    "Why don't you turn it off? My son goes to school there. Now someone jumps off the building. What if there is too much pressure to follow the example?"

    "You don't believe in your son too much." Having said that, Xu Zhaofu still didn't have enough confidence.

    "No, I have to go to the school and ask him if he still has money."

    After hearing these last words, Xu Zhaofu didn¡¯t object.

    He looked at Jiang Tian, ??"Son, how long do you plan to stay in the village?"

    "Maybe we'll celebrate the New Year first!" Jiang Tian didn't say that he had contracted the land for several years.

    Xu Zhaofu¡¯s eyes lit up, ¡°Then after my son goes on vacation, can you help me with his homework??I am going to enroll him in a cram school. You, a college student, are here and there is no need for anyone else.  "

    Jiang Tian waved his hands repeatedly, "I'm about to graduate. The knowledge I learned in high school has already been given back to the teacher, so I can't tutor you at all."

    "You're just being humble, that's it."

    Seeing Uncle Xu¡¯s unilateral announcement, Jiang Tian had no choice but to hope that he was joking.

    Soon, they arrived at the county seat.

    The two got out of the car and the van headed towards Qingyuan No. 1 Middle School.

    They came neither early nor late. When they came here, stalls had already been set up at the market.

    "What do you want to eat?" Grandpa asked.

    "It's probably tofu pudding. I used to think about this when I was in school, but the tofu pudding there is different from what we have here."

    "Okay, I know there is a stall that makes delicious tofu curd, you should know it too."

    Jiang Tian thought, "Is it Chen Ji Tofu Nao?"

    "That's right, let's go!"

    They came to the side of the market, where there were many breakfast stalls selling everything.

    Among them, Chen Ji¡¯s tofu nao stall has the most visitors, and the key is that it¡¯s delicious.

    Jiang Tian was waiting in line, while grandpa went to buy other snacks, because they only sell tofu puffs here and nothing else.

    After waiting for five or six minutes, Jiang Tian placed two bowls full of tofu nao on the table. It happened that his grandfather also came back at this time.

    He bought three steamed buns, two large fried dough sticks, two tea eggs, and two leek boxes.

    "So many?" Jiang Tian was surprised.

    Grandpa smiled: "I have a better appetite recently. I haven't had breakfast at a big market for a long time, so I just want to buy some."

    Jiang Tian nodded and began to focus on the tofu puffs in front of him. The things he put there were similar to other places, such as fungus, eggs, soybeans, etc., but the taste was better because the marinade poured on it was different.

    This is Chen Ji¡¯s secret recipe. It is precisely because of this tofu that people support their children and buy a house in the city.

    After taking a bite, Jiang Tian said: "The salted tofu brain is still delicious, it just has a taste!"

    Grandpa smiled, "Actually, I really want to try what people say about the taste of sweet tofu brain. After all, the only things that can cause such a big controversy between the north and the south are salty and sweet tofu brain and rice dumplings." (Note  Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com
