Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

After having lunch at home, Deng Yunheng rode his bicycle back to school with his sister with the living expenses provided by his father.

Deng Shirong saw a lot of large stones piled in the open space in front of his house. They had been transported down from the stone mountain by the young people in the village. When laying the foundation for his new house, they had not used up the stones, and there were still some left. About a quarter.

Seeing this pile of big rocks, Deng Shirong's desire to build the river embankment became even stronger.

The homestead of Deng Shirong's family covers about two acres. The new house is built in the shape of an inverted 7. The long end is directly in front of the homestead, and the short end is built on the left side of the river. Directly ahead is the original old mud brick house.

Next to the small river on the left side of the mud brick house is a longan tree that is more than 30 years old.

The rest of the area is open space, extending all the way to the road at the entrance of the village.

After the new house was built, Deng Shirong had an idea, which was to build a river embankment along the creek on the left side of the house, about twenty centimeters above the ground, and then reserve holes for making beautiful wooden railings.

At the same time, a fence was built along the right side of his family's homestead. The foundation of the fence was as high as the river embankment. It was also surrounded by beautiful wooden railings. Only a "doorway" a few meters wide was left in front of the road. Two stone lions come back to guard the house, perfect.

After moving into the new house, the original old house will be demolished, the ground will be leveled, cement will be laid, and a few fruit trees will be planted along the river embankment and the wall on the right. It is best to build it under the old longan tree. A gazebo.

Once all these are completed, the quality of his house will be upgraded to a higher level.

However, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time. Now the orchard at home is in full swing, and the construction of furniture is also in progress. There is really no one available to help transport stones to build the river embankment.

After all, at the end of September in the lunar calendar in previous years, the production team would start to harvest the rice. Although this year there was a lot of time delay due to the distribution of fields to households, it will not be long before the whole village starts to harvest rice, so now is really not the time to ask for help. .

Deng Shirong put this idea aside for now and waited until the time was right.

…

At the end of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the day of the beginning of winter, the midterm exam of Naye School arrived as scheduled.

During this time, because of the financial incentives given by Deng Shirong, whether it is the second son in high school, Deng Yunsong in junior high school, or Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng in elementary school, they have to study much harder than before.

As for whether the results have improved, whether the average score can reach above 90 points, and whether he can successfully receive the reward from his father, it will be revealed soon.

At 4:42 p.m., Deng Yunhua walked out of the classroom with a frown on his face. In the Chinese language test that just ended, he couldn't do a few questions that accounted for high scores. Even if he got all the other questions right, his Chinese score would be It should not exceed 82 points.

If there are still mistakes in other questions, then I probably won’t even get 80 points.

Even if the math score is better than the Chinese score, there is no hope for the average score to reach over 90.

When he thought of this, Deng Yunhua was about to cry. This meant that he would not be able to get the reward promised by his father in this midterm exam!

Just when Deng Yunhua looked frustrated, Deng Yunheng came over and asked: "Fourth brother, how did you do in the Chinese test?"

Deng Yunhua sighed heartbrokenly: "There is no hope. I definitely have no hope of getting the reward. How did you do in the exam, Xiao Heng?"

Deng Yunheng said happily: "I did pretty well in the exam. I can't answer three questions. I've finished the rest. If nothing else, my score should not be lower than 90."

Deng Yunhua was even more heartbroken when he heard this. He knew that his younger brother's math test was good, and he estimated that it should not be lower than 90 points. Now the Chinese language test is not lower than 90 points. Doesn't that mean that his younger brother has a high probability of getting the test? Father's reward?

Thinking of this, Deng Yunhua hooked his younger brother's shoulders, showed a particularly friendly smile, and said, "Xiao Heng, what do you think, fourth brother, I think of you?"

Deng Yunheng blinked and said, "Fourth brother is very good to me. Last semester, one of my classmates tried to bully me, and you helped me beat him up."

Deng Yunhua said with a smile: "Fourth brother did not do well in the exam this time. If you get the reward from dad, can we brothers spend it together?"

Deng Yunheng was not stupid. He shook his head after hearing this and said, "That's not possible. This is a reward for my hard work in studying. I want to keep it for myself and spend it slowly."

Deng Yunhua frowned and said, "Xiao Heng, am I still not your good fourth brother?"

Deng Yunheng said: "You are my good fourth brother, but this is my money and I want to keep it for myself."

Deng Yunhua felt tired. The older his younger brother was, the harder it was to deceive him. He could only grit his teeth and said, "Xiao Heng, tell yourself, what are the conditions before you agree to use your reward to spend it with me?"

Deng Yunheng chuckled and said, "Fourth brother, I like your slingshot very much..."

Deng Yunhua said cheerfully: "Okay, from now on, the slingshot is yours!"

Deng Yunheng said happily: "Okay fourth brother, it's settled, when I get the reward, we will spend it together!"

At this moment, the brothers reached an agreement at school.

…

Midterm exams and final exams are the standard for testing the performance of his sons, so Deng Shirong naturally attaches great importance to them.

Therefore, after dinner, Deng Shirong called his three sons in front of him and asked: "Now that the mid-term exams for elementary school have been completed, and part of the exams for junior high schools, how did you three brothers do?"

The three brothers looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Deng Yunheng stood up and replied: "Dad, I think I have made progress. The average score in the two subjects should be over 90 points."

Deng Shirong was not surprised when he heard this. After all, his youngest son was only in the second grade and the things he learned were relatively simple. It was normal for him to score higher in the exam. He nodded and said, "Yes, if the average score exceeds ninety points, then I will To fulfill your promise, it depends on whether you have the ability to get more."

After speaking, Deng Shirong's eyes fell on his third son and fourth son, and asked: "Where are you two? How did you do in the exam?"

Deng Yunsong hesitated for a moment and said: "Dad, after entering junior high school, a lot of homework has been added. Although I have studied hard, it is still not easy to reach an average score of 90%. This midterm exam may If you can’t do it anymore, let’s see if there is any progress in the final exam!”

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Well, then you work hard, I believe you can do it."

Of the five sons in his previous life, only the third, Deng Yunsong, was admitted to a technical secondary school.

The value of technical secondary schools in this era is not comparable to that of later generations. As long as you are admitted to a technical secondary school, it is equivalent to having an iron rice bowl. Therefore, in the previous life, only the third child in their family entered the system and worked hard, and achieved good results - —Enjoy senior-level benefits upon retirement.

Therefore, Deng Shirong is not too worried about Lao San's studies. Even if there is no financial reward to stimulate him, Lao San can still pass the technical secondary school by following the pace of his previous life.
