Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1455 My Altay 2

It was already afternoon when Xu Qin returned home, but Xinjiang is two time zones away from Beijing. It was still early when the sun set, so school would not end early.

Xu Qin took out one thing after another from her big backpack, and finally took out several large jars of moisturizing cream, which were prepared for the women in the family. Xinjiang has a dry climate all year round, so after she went to the capital, her skin became fairer and more rosy.

After a while, Xu Zhisheng's wife, Xu Qin's aunt, came back with a big bowl of mutton soup. "Oh, I just found out that Qinqin is back. The house is empty, so I quickly bought a bowl of mutton soup from the opposite door!"

Xu Meifang quickly took the enamel pot from her sister-in-law, and Xu Qin quickly stuffed a piece of Suzhou rose cake into it. The aunt-in-law only ate a little bit and tasted the sweet rose honey filling. She was amazed: "Wow, the snacks outside are different from ours!"

The snacks that the Xu family has access to in Xinjiang are almost all very sweet. There is no such thing as Su-style millet cake, which does not add any extra sugar except for the filling.

For my aunt-in-law, a pure Han Chinese, who is not from the southern region where sugar is added to scrambled eggs with tomatoes, this sweet taste is more in line with her preferences, so after eating the one in her mouth, she couldn't help but pick up the other one.

Xu Qin finished a large pancake with the delicious mutton soup. Finally, she filled her stomach and had time to talk to her aunt.

Xu Qin took a lot of photos in various places in the capital, filling two whole envelopes. She took them out to show her aunt-in-law. Her aunt-in-law and sister-in-law Xu Meifang looked at the photos together and were surprised.

Finally, it was time for the children to finish school and the parents to get off work, and the Xu family became even more annoyed.

Xu Zhisheng and Xu Zhiqiang live across the street from each other. In order to make more money, the two brothers would most of the time pull goods out of the county town. Of course, the women of the two families had to stay in the store. They also had to leave someone to take care of the three meals a day of the two elderly people and several children. It was really hard work, but the family members thought and worked together, and they lived a colorful life.

Especially since Xu Qin was the first successful young man to return home in glory, the aunt wanted to close the store directly.

The two adults, Xu Zhisheng and Xu Zhiqiang, went to the post office to pick up the package that Xu Qin had sent back in advance. They were a little late, so the two junior high school students, Xu Mu and Xu Liang, came back first.

The two children were very loud. Other children on the road had already told them the news that Xu Qin had returned. Because they emphasized the big backpack, the two little brothers almost ran all the way.

"Second sister——"

"Second sister——"

The two little brothers have very different voices. Xu Mu is two months older and has entered the voice change period earlier. His voice has become deep and strong, but because the voice change period has not been completed, his voice has a hoarse effect.

Not only has Xu Liang not yet experienced a rapid growth in height, but his voice is also that of a child. So even though the two brothers are only two months apart in age, they seem to be much older than that.

Xu Qin hurried over, and the two little brothers hugged her, one on each side, and the three of them jumped together, which made the parents very heartwarming.

"Second sister, what is the capital like?"

“Is it the same as on TV?”

Xu Qin answered them one by one in a leisurely manner, and then took out a photo to show the two little brothers, "This is Tiananmen Square. I went to watch the flag-raising ceremony with my classmates. Many people from other places went there before dawn to reserve seats."

"There are also the gates of Peking University and Tsinghua University, as well as our school, various places in the Forbidden City, as well as the Old Summer Palace and the Badaling Great Wall—"

Xu Qin's days this semester have not been wasted. The daily schedule is so packed that attending classes can actually be considered a pastime.

"I also brought you some supplementary teaching materials and toys. These are things that are only available in the capital. I was able to get them with the help of my classmates. Otherwise, I don't know when they would be available in our area."

Every child would frown upon hearing the words "teaching supplementary materials", but aren't there toys following the words? The two little brothers pretended they didn't hear the first four words and only ran for the toys.

The toys Xu Qin took out were also very different. When taken apart, they were just a pile of painted wooden boards.

Xu Qin explained: "This is just a puzzle, but it's not just a way to kill time. It can exercise people's imagination and hands-on ability."

As long as the Xu family's children can concentrate on studying, they will gradually be weaned from all activities that are not related to studying and daily food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Xu Qin felt suffocated just by reading about those experiences from the original owner’s memory, let alone Xu Mu and Xu Liang who were experiencing them personally?

So Xu Qin made up for it in time, and the disapproval on Xu Meifang and the aunt's face really dissipated a little, but they still didn't approve of the little brothers looking like they had forgotten to do their homework, and immediately urged them: "Hurry up and do your homework, the final exam is coming soon, you two can't relax at this time!"

The brothers' expressions twisted for a moment, but they knew that it was good enough to get the toys today, so at least they didn't put them away immediately.

The two of them reluctantly took out their schoolbags and prepared to do their homework. Then they heard the sound of Xu Zhisheng and Xu Zhiqiang coming back from outside. "This girl, she was so anxious with just a few dollars in her hand that she had to spend it!"

Xu Zhiqiang was really a little angry. Xu Qin had written to him before saying that she had earned a lot of royalties from writing articles and had already sent a package home. It was a package of skirts, clothes and pants for men, women and children, all of which were nationally famous brands.

But this time there were two big packages, and the two brothers felt that they were still quite heavy, which showed that a lot of things were stuffed inside and a lot of money was spent.

Xu Zhisheng advised: "The child is capable, she can spend the money she earns however she wants. Xiaoqin is not naive, most likely she bought clothes for the family, don't make a fuss all the time, it will make the child feel cold."

Xu Qin hurried over and said, "Dad, uncle, you guys are back—"

Xu Zhisheng looked up at Xu Qin, his promising niece, and his face was full of smiles: "Good girl, you are really promising!"

"Don't pay attention to your dad. He feels bad for you spending so much money. You might as well spend the time to dress yourself up."

Xu Zhiqiang also looked at his eldest daughter whom he had not seen for half a year. Seeing her smiling fair face, his heart was so sweet that he could not say anything soft to the child. He could only smile twice to express his apology.

Everyone looked at Xu Qin's packages eagerly, but no one opened them. From one of the large packages, he took out a bunch of winter boots. "These boots were also custom-made from the factory through my friend's connections. They are waterproof and non-slip. The fur inside can be removed and washed. Everyone can have one!"

There were names written on them. When Xu Zhisheng and his wife got their own boots in their hands, they were so moved that they burst into tears.

Although I have long been accustomed to raising children from both families together, this is the first time I have received something bought by the younger generation.

Their eldest daughter got married to a classmate from the next village. The man was Mongolian and was very busy. He hardly had time to go back to her parents' home, and the gifts she gave were mostly food from her own family.

Everyone was a little excited that night, and what made everyone most hopeful was the huge difference between Xu Qin half a year ago and now.

The aunt couldn't help but worry about her eldest daughter, "It's a pity that our Qingqing didn't get into university, otherwise she could have gone to the capital to broaden her horizons..."
