The wind was blowing, and the gloomy weather looked a little ominous.The village head remembered what Ji Zhiqing said that the mountains in Ningchuan were dug up by the villagers, and it was prone to mudslides in heavy rains. He was worried that his road that was about to be built would be broken just like that, so he held an umbrella and wanted to take a closer look. Gu stopped him, and his tone was a little rushed because of his anxiety: "What do you think, what if you really collapsed, what can you do? The mountain can still listen to you, if you are crushed to death for nothing, who will dig you!"
Only then did the village head realize that he was in a mess when he cared. Seeing Li Gu staring at him nervously, his hairs all over his body being pricked up, he swallowed a sigh of relief, returned home and sat down, and didn't go out any more. run.There is no farm work to do in winter, and it rains all day and night, and everyone doesn't go out much.The village head stood at the window and smoked a pipe, and saw the wind blow a tree down, and the tree heel rolled down the mountain with mud.
Sure enough, the mud on the mountain couldn't hold onto the ground. After the rain, I don't know if I can hold on.The village chief frowned tightly. This road has been the painstaking effort of the villagers for several months, and Ning Chuan can no longer spend the money to buy stones.
Li Gu saw that he was worried, so he raised his voice, and the exaggeration in his words was even a bit funny: "Don't watch it, if it really collapses, it will collapse. I watched TV yesterday, and there was a man from the next county who went out to study and became a student." When I came back, I built a road for my family. I’ll build one for you tomorrow, as long as you want, and as wide as you want.” He didn’t have any confidence in his heart, whether he could even get into that poor junior high school It’s all different, but he himself is alone, and the only thing he can promise is this vision.
The village head snorted and glanced at him, as if he was really pleased, he stopped smoking and closed the window of Piaoyu.Seeing that he finally stopped thinking about going out in the rain, Li Gu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered that he was a little ashamed of his brashness, buried his head in the book, and didn't say anything more.
After the rain stopped, the village head was in a hurry to check the condition of the road, but unfortunately, he found that the stones were missing again. The village head spat and said hell, who would steal things in this kind of weather? .Li Gu watched from the side, it wasn't that the road was crushed and everything was not so bad.
On the way back, I saw Tu Qingchuan with muddy trouser legs.Li Gu called him all the way: "Uncle Tu, the road is not good today, don't go to collect medicine!" Tu Qingchuan froze for a moment: "It's okay when the rain stops." "Don't go!" The teacher said that it will rain again, and it is very dangerous." "Hey, yes, yes." Tu Qingchuan nodded repeatedly.
What Ji Zhiqing listened to on the radio was right. Before nightfall, it started to rain again. This time it was so loud that it was not even a question of whether the house could stand it.Li Gu was worried that the village head couldn't take it anymore, he was restless, and wanted to take a peek at the old man's situation from time to time.The village chief lowered his eyes and knocked on the table: "Read your book and don't think about anything else."
The next day, most of the road was washed away, and the broken tree roots were seen from a distance on the pile of rocks. It was obvious what the situation was.Fortunately, the rain finally stopped and the sky cleared completely.Ji Zhiqing rushed over with Ji Hanxing, probably knowing that the village head would feel bad if the road was destroyed.Everyone looked at him, but the village head refused to show any strangeness, wiped his face and forced a smile: "You know the mountain that Yugong moved, it's just a road, we are all here, generation after generation Yes, you can always get out."
When he turned his back, Li Gu saw that his eyes were red.For a long time from generation to generation, the predecessors left this stall, and the young man has not yet grown up, and now the burden falls on his shoulders.There are no generations, only him.
Seeing that the New Year's Eve was only a few days away, the village head deliberately turned over this page, and after the year, he would find someone to clean up the rubble.As a result, the rabbit came running with red eyes.The wet mud and water splashed all the way, came over and hugged the village chief's thigh and cried: "My father, my father is gone!"
The hearts of the two adults thumped, and they didn't care about the New Year's Eve. They called all the young and old in the village along the road to bring their tools and head towards that road.It didn't take long to excavate, and in the pile of rocks, I saw trouser legs covered with mud.
Tu Qingchuan left just like that, and the onlookers were terrified and baffled.The discussion became louder and louder, and a few people who knew that the stone was missing couldn't help but look at the village chief. They had already reached a conclusion in their hearts and waited for the village chief to preside over the justice.The news of the dead man being dug up quickly spread, and people from the village came over one after another. Parents covering their children's eyes couldn't stop those curious and fearful gazes.
The village chief took two puffs of cigarettes, and when he was about to understand what was going on, he was angry, but he quickly made a decision in his heart.It was a big deal, and everyone formed a circle, waiting for him to speak.
Tu Yuming helped his grandma who couldn't keep walking, and now he was in a daze, and he didn't dare to recognize the man in the pile of rocks as his father.The village chief glanced at the mother-in-law and grandson, and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Two days ago, the stone materials for our road construction were always running low. At that time, we suspected that someone had stolen it. In order not to delay everyone's New Year's Eve, I didn't tell everyone. As for me, I sold my old face and went to Qingchuan. Seeing that he is young The strong one asked him to help me see the mountains. When it rained on the first day, he was not asked to go, and the thief took the opportunity to pick up the stones. The next day when it rained, I told him not to go, but this honest boy still came ..." At this point, everyone understood. The few people who had doubts in their hearts knew what they should do when they saw the village chief squatting down and starting to pick up stones to dig Tu Qingchuan out with his bare hands.They joined in one after another, moving the rocks from the man aside.
Tears flowed from Grandma Rabbit's cloudy eyes, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything in the end.Seeing her like this, a man in the village sighed and comforted her, don't worry, old man, Qingchuan left because of doing things for everyone, and the villagers will not treat you badly.As soon as the words came out, everyone, old and young, also echoed. Tu Yuming wiped away his tears and thanked them.The village chief looked at the mother-in-law and grandson who were surrounded by the crowd to comfort them, and then called Li Gu, who was stunned to the side, to come and help, and moved the stone off Tu Qingchuan's body.
i don't really bully
Seeing Tu Qingchuan's unrecognizable face in the pile of rocks, Li Gu subconsciously covered Ji Hanxing's eyes.Having been with the village chief for so long, he knew that what the village chief said was false, but seeing what he said was so sure, Li Gu doubted his own judgment.Ji Hanxing stood still obediently, allowing him to cover his eyes without struggling, and his long and dense eyelashes gently scratched Li Gu's palm.Seeing this, Ji Zhiqing motioned for Li Gu to let go of his hand. Li Gu hesitated for a while, then took away his hand and protected Ji Hanxing behind him.
Ji Hanxing remembered this scene many years later, it was the two closest people in his later life.One covered his eyes in front of the dead, refusing to let him see anything bad, and the other asked him to watch a farewell, urging him to grow up faster.
The old village head was standing on the ruined road, Li Gu felt that his emotions were about to collapse, but he didn't show anything, and directed the crowd to dig out Tu Qingchuan, even ignoring food on the way.Back at night, Li Gu fetched hot water to soak his feet, and asked him in a low voice if he wanted to smoke, but the old village chief didn't answer.Li Gu's heart was pounding even more.He had a stomach full of things he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to speak.
When I went out to pour water, I happened to meet Grandma Rabbit bringing Tu Yuming over. He ushered the two of them in, and the village chief was just putting on socks on his feet after soaking in heat.Without saying a word, the old lady first took out a cloth bag from her pocket, which contained a few banknotes. She was much better than the helpless and terrified look when she first heard the bad news. She handed the money to the village chief and poked it He said in his heart: "I, diabetes, there is nothing I can do. Qingchuan doesn't want me to procrastinate like this, let me treat it, and tell me that he is out looking for money, so let me not worry about it. I didn't expect that he was looking for this money. It doesn’t matter if I’m old or dead, but if I want to live, I’m hurting the young. I don’t have the face in front of so many people, and I’m afraid that Yuming won’t be able to gain a foothold in the village in the future, but my conscience can’t bear it. There are still these at home, I don’t know if it’s enough to make up for those stones.”
The village chief listened to her in silence, counted the bills in the cloth bag, took out the one with the smallest denomination, stuffed the rest back, and handed it to her: "It will be considered as filled."
Tears welled up in Grandma Rabbit's eyes, and she wanted to kneel down for him, but the village chief grabbed her and said, "No need to do this. Life may be a little harder in the future, Yuming, you have to take care of him."
Grandma Rabbit saw that he was not affected by her kneeling, so she asked Tu Yuming to kowtow to him, and Tu Yuming did so in a daze.It took him a long time to understand what happened, and he was a little dazed holding the newly bought football Tu Qingchuan bought him.Not long ago, he played football with Tu Qingchuan in the yard, and he got a brand new football as a New Year's gift.But so soon, the person who played with him disappeared.Tu Qingchuan also told him to learn to write hard, but he didn't even have time to learn to write for him.
Ji Hanxing also finally understood why she refused to eat the crispy candy he gave Grandma Rabbit on New Year's Eve. She couldn't eat any more candy, and the family couldn't afford the money for her dialysis.The New Year's Eve is coming soon, and the death of a young man casts a shadow over the small mountain village, but the New Year must be passed.This is how time moves forward all the way, and no one or anything will stop it.It doesn't care if someone is left behind by it, time doesn't know how to turn back.
The Spring Festival couplets given to Tu Yuming's family by Ji Hanxing that year were useless, and his family pasted up white couplets.
Li Gu thought about it seriously, and he began to realize that poverty can eat people.He studies harder than ever, and after finishing his homework, he goes to Ji Zhiqing's house to do questions, and asks questions in time if he can't.The requirements for elementary school students in the countryside are not high, and arithmetic can still be done with their comprehension ability. The main problem is literacy and the accent of the country when they are studying. Ji Zhiqing is very demanding on this. Gu spoke Mandarin with its own landmarks.
On the first day of the new year, every household will set off firecrackers to get rid of the old and welcome the new.There are always one or two unfinished firecrackers in a plate. Children in the mountains like to pick them up and light them to hear the sound.When Li Gu took Ji Hanxing to deliver food to the rabbit's house, a small firecracker happened to explode on the side of the road. Ji Hanxing was startled, his eyes widened, and he grabbed Li Gu's clothes.The way he expresses his fear is always reserved, rather than outright.Li Gu looked in the direction from which the firecrackers were thrown, and the mischievous child had already disappeared.
This incident made Li Gu very angry. On the way, when he saw a child holding an inferior lighter and preparing to light a firecracker, he rushed forward and snatched the thing.He has always occupied the title of King of the Mountain but has never really been a bully. This time he got angry at the crown, and he felt a little bit happy.Throwing the confiscated small tubes of firecrackers into the puddle and soaking them, some children were not convinced and asked him to reason. Li Gu raised an eyebrow and threatened impatiently: "What are you playing, can firecrackers be played? Just you This little arm can be blown up if you don't pay attention. Take a breath, and cry again and tie the firecracker to your ass and send you to heaven, believe it or not?" The rest of the children looked at each other, and went to their parents to complain.
Ji Hanxing followed behind him obediently, Li Gu thought for a while and said to him: "I was joking just now, I won't really bully people."
Ji Hanxing smiled at him, the meaning in his eyes was "Well, I know."
Will you come and see me off?
Li Gu was very worried about the rabbit in private, but he didn't tell his parents. If there was something he couldn't figure out, he would ask Ji Hanxing: "What do you think about this? What about the rabbit?" It is heartbreaking for the bystanders, as if the seedlings without protection cannot grow, but those children who really lose protection will eventually grow up slowly on their own.
Ji Zhiqing had a talk with Grandma Rabbit once, and he didn't know what they said. Later, Tu Yuming also joined their reading team.Li Gu felt a little sad when he saw him at first, but couldn't help but look at him with sympathy, but then he thought about it, he himself is fatherless.As for Ji Hanxing, Ji Hanxing doesn't have a father.The fatherless trio hit it off right away, reading and doing homework together every day is another kind of fulfillment.
The addition of Tu Yuming made Li Gu more motivated to fight. He has been crushed by Ji Hanxing for a long time when it comes to studying, and he can't find any dignity of his brother. After Tu Yuming came, he can be regarded as the last one for him.Probably the bottom No.2 in every class would have this kind of indescribable affection for the bottom one, with a less progressive foil, Li Gu finally regained some face.He developed a new hobby, tutoring Tu Yuming in front of Ji Hanxing when he had nothing to do. Anyway, the rabbit's level is the worst, and he can't tell right from wrong, so he just accepts it wholeheartedly.
Li Gu absorbs a lot of new things every day, frantically memorizes texts to learn new words, just treats himself as a container, desperately stuffs everything he can see into his mind.After handing in his homework one day, he stood in front of Ji Zhiqing a little nervously, and asked him if he could succeed in taking the exam. Ji Zhiqing looked at him calmly, and finally smiled a little after a long silence , Said yes, it must be no problem to be the last one in the school in the town.Li Gu's tension for a long time suddenly relaxed, being able to be the bottom one shows that he will definitely be able to pass the exam.Ji Zhiqing didn't know what to say to his overly open-minded brain circuit for a while, but it was not that he was not unhappy for him.
In fact, Ji Zhiqing really didn't expect him to be willing to put in such effort, and there was no need to take an exam to join the class. Ji Zhiqing set a high goal for him just to scare him.
Li Gu's matter was settled, all that was left was to send Ji Hanxing away.His boarding school started in early February, and Ji Zhiqing and Ji Zhiqing had to leave one week in advance to go through the relevant admission procedures.Li Gu didn't say anything on the face, and went back every day to secretly look at the calendar. He also knew that school would start soon in the city, and he was in a panic.Li Gu is not very willing to part with Ji Hanxing, he feels that Ji Hanxing is pitiful, a little baby, has no father and has never seen a mother, the only guardian wants to send him away to a boarding school.Li Gu was worried about his loneliness and his safety, afraid that he, who was made out of flour, would be bullied.The two of them escaped from that pervert's hands together, they were close friends, and they were about to be separated like this, it really made me feel aggrieved.
Li Gu was originally an unenlightened person, but Ji Hanxing's arrival brought him many different things, Li Gu couldn't tell what it was.It's like when people look up at the starry sky, those bright and distant light spots can be seen, but they can't tell what they see.As soon as Ji Hanxing left, the whole of Ningchuan seemed to turn gray and bare again, just like the hopeless long winter here.But Li Gu Buquan felt that this was a bad thing, he was going to study in the town, his life had just begun, and there would be many possibilities in the future.
The two children tacitly did not mention the matter of leaving, and finally counting the days is really fast.Li Gu didn't hold his breath, and couldn't help asking Ji Hanxing: "When are you leaving?" Ji Hanxing tilted his head and thought for a while, counting on his fingers, and said with certainty that it was number nine.He has always been very calm, Li Gu looked at him like this, suddenly he was embarrassed to reveal that he was not calm without him, so he pretended to be calm and nodded, and just put it in his heart for a while.
He turned around to go back, but Ji Hanxing suddenly stopped him: "Brother, will you come see me off?"
Li Gu couldn't calm down anymore, and replied loudly: "Yes!"
Li Gu went back and took a pencil to make a big mark on that day's calendar.Number nine, he can't be missed, he still has a few days, and number seven goes to the town in someone else's car. During the Chinese New Year, the village chief gave him a little money from his fingers, and he has never been willing to use it.He wanted to buy some gifts for Ji Hanxing.
……
Ji Hanxing also suddenly knew that he was going to leave on the [-]th. Ji Zhiqing probably knew that he had to say goodbye to his friends here, so he specially gave him some time.When the child got up and learned that he was going to leave today, his expression was not quite right, he put on his clothes and hurried out of the house.Ji Zhiqing didn't know, so it was very late yesterday when the people from the commissary came to ask him to answer the phone, and Ji Hanxing had already fallen asleep, so he couldn't tell him in time.This matter was extremely hasty for both adults and children. Ji Hanxing trotted all the way to the village chief's house, only to find that the door was locked from the outside.Running too fast, he choked on the cold wind and went in. He was a little out of breath, swallowed his saliva hard, and immediately pulled his legs to the direction of the village committee.He found the old village head there, and learned that Li Gu had gone to the city.
If you go to the city from Ningchuan, you won't be able to come back until it's dark.And if they want to go into the city, they must leave before noon, no matter how they count, they won't be able to see each other.
Ji Hanxing pursed his lips, and took down Ji Zhiqing's calligraphy practice book that he packed in his luggage: "Can I leave this for Brother Li Gu?"
It was a copybook handwritten by Ji Zhiqing's father. Both Ji Zhiqing and Ji Hanxing learned to write from him.Ji Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Dog thing, looks like a human
That year when Li Gu came back, he didn't find his little star. He bought him candy and a new book, but he didn't have a chance to give them away.At first, he had resentment and unwillingness in his heart, but soon this emotion was washed away by time, leaving only pure thoughts.
After Ji Zhiqing came back, Li Gu was asked to do two decent test papers, and then he got the news that he could go to the town's junior high school to join the class.This is a very remarkable achievement in his past life, which made the village chief so happy that he took out the wine he was reluctant to drink at dinner.In the past, the village head was reluctant to touch this small wine jar every time he was greedy for wine, saying that he would save it for the day when Li Gu married his wife.Li Gu was not well educated at the time, so he didn't know what was wrong. Later, he realized that he had been overwhelmed by Ji Hanxing all his life, and maybe this unlucky old man had contributed to his "daughter's red".
Still reluctant to drink the wine, the village chief dipped two drops with his chopsticks and put it back like a baby: "This is junior high school, don't drink too much. I'll take a sip when you're admitted to high school, and I'll take a sip when you're admitted to university." Just have a drink."
And Li Gu himself just breathed a sigh of relief, as if all his strength had been used up in the process, and the personnel affairs were exhausted, and the subsequent results had to be arranged by God instead, and had nothing to do with him.
The old village head was busy with his own affairs a few days before he left, and he didn't show any reluctance to this dog.The night before his departure, he threw away Li Gu's two new sets of clothes and a new pair of shoes. Li Gu had a lot of money, but the old village chief didn't tell him with his nose turned up: "Why do you ask this? You gave it to me?" Li Gu felt that he was holding the heart of the head of the family, and said earnestly, "I grow up fast, so I don't need so many new clothes. You have more money to spend." The old village chief kicked him and asked him to change into some clothes Trying, Li Gu rubbed his ass, feeling that he didn't get the respect he should have for a cultural person.
He shook off the two clothes and found that the styles were very different. One of them was bought by the old village chief. Made Li Gu a similar style.The white shirt, one size bigger, has not been ironed, and it is crumpled and stuck to Li Gu's underdeveloped body. If it is not for the color, it is still new, and anyone who looks at it will feel that it is inherited from the previous generation.The other sweatshirt has a good taste beyond the understanding of the village head. It is probably because the person who bought it was extravagant and didn't buy it according to the size.The old village chief snorted, pinched Li Gu's arm, patted him on the back, looked him back and forth, like checking the growth of animals in the pen.After the inspection, the old village chief came to a critical conclusion: "The dog looks like a human being."
Then he looked at Li Gu for a long time, and pulled out the collar that was pressed into his clothes for him: "It must be you, Mr. Ji, who bought this outfit for you, you can slow down, or you won't be able to wear it next year. "Li Gu bowed his head and said nothing, and it took him a long time to say in a low voice: "Then I'm going to thank him." The village head patted his dog's head: "You just need to make less trouble, your teacher Ji didn't ask me to tell you " Li Gu blamed Teacher Ji for not sending Ji Hanxing away, probably he really had nothing to hide in his heart, and his dissatisfaction was not cryptic enough to let people see the clues.
Li Gu packed up his small broken bag, the bag was very small, and the clothes would definitely wrinkle when stuffed in, but this did not affect Li Gu's use of tofu cubes as the standard to fold the clothes neatly.The most precious thing in his luggage was the copybook that Ji Hanxing left him, which was neatly wrapped in a plastic bag and ironed like a shiny film.
It was quite early when he left, the fog in the mountains had not cleared, and it was cold spring, and he was not very active in going to work in the sun.The village chief didn't come to see him off, he went to the city earlier than Li Gu to ask for this year's subsidy.In the gray morning, Li Gu looked back at the place where he had lived for more than ten years. He saw a figure poked on the side of the road. Li Gu recognized that it was Ji Zhiqing. A tree that won't bend over.
Li Gu couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, he didn't have the nerve to walk over, instead he took two quick steps forward, and the figure of Ji Zhiqing he saw became smaller as he walked, Li Gu finally stopped, took a deep breath, and walked a long way. He yelled: "Teacher Ji——! I'm leaving! I'll study hard!" The mountains echoed Li Gu's ghostly cries and wolf howls, and the dogs in the whole village were startled to bark after him.
Ji Zhiqing finally moved and waved at him.Sending each other off in a breeze, and having no more words to say, Ji Zhiqing turned around and walked into the room, smiling relievedly.
Li Gu went to the county seat alone.
The sign of County No. [-] Middle School hangs on the not too high outer wall, covered with years of dust.Li Gu took a deep breath. Although the appearance was dilapidated, it did not affect the holy sense of seeking knowledge in his heart. He stared at the sign for a long time, trying to imprint the black words on a white background in his heart, as a new beginning of his schooling career.Unexpectedly, a mixed-haired dog ran over with a thumping calf, kicked its hind legs, and took a dip in front of the brand with ease.Li Gu's eyebrows trembled.
The author has something to say
Boss Li, a man who has set a flag for himself since he was a child...
I have never seen a meerkat in the world
With the previous encounter as a basis, Li Gu became much calmer after seeing the school's dilapidated dormitory building that was no different from Ningchuan.There are not many school boarders in the county town, and most of the students here are local children.The small number of people who need boarding are from the countryside. They have neither the right to speak, nor do they have parents to greet them, so as long as the dormitory is not too dilapidated, there is no big problem.
Li Gu signed up, received his book, and was divided into classes. He knew that his class teacher was a man named Xu Jiwen.He heard Ji Zhiqing mention this name, and it can be summed up in three words "educated".Li Gu had a little more expectation for the new life he was about to start.
As a result, during the conversation with his roommate, he found that this class was full of talents. Not only did the class score last but also won several blank papers, and it was stable at the bottom of the team and individual competitions.Li Gu only took it as a joke, and even breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he might not have to be the last one, which shows that he is still a very optimistic child so far.
After a while a short boy came over, and he introduced himself as Xu Yuan in Mandarin with a deliberately corrected accent.Li Gu grinned at him, and simply communicated with him in his native dialect.Xu Yuan rolled his small eyes: "Hey, where are you from?" "Ning Chuan." "Oh, Ning Chuan..."
Then Xu Yuan showed a clear and subtle look, and it was only later that Li Gu realized that it should be a complex emotion mixed with avoidance and sympathy, a look of one kind of poverty to another kind of poverty.Xu Yuan is thin and thin, even if he is placed among a group of circus monkeys, he is still the one with stunted development.He sighed maturely: "Why didn't you find someone when you joined the class? What's the use of being assigned to this class?"
"Find someone?"
Xu Yuan tried to act like a big brother talking to his younger brother by putting his shoulders on his shoulders, but the height was not high enough, and the way he reached out to grab his shoulders looked like a monkey picking peaches.Li Gu, who was straight-eyed and stupefied, didn't have much vision, and still raised questions with a ignorant face, so Xu Yuan could only withdraw his hand in embarrassment, and said, "Class [-] is not a place to study. No one learns or teaches, You have a number in your heart."
Li Gu couldn't answer for a while, it took him a lot of effort to get a job transfer opportunity from Ningchuan to join here, how could it be possible that no one taught and no one learned, Xu Yuan gave him a half-smile inscrutablely Unsmiling expression: "By the way, if the teacher asks you to introduce yourself, remember to speak Mandarin. At least you must be able to read the name." After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth drooped quickly, which was an inadvertent gesture. It seemed to bring back some unpleasant memories.Then teach him to read in overcorrected Mandarin: "Li Gu."
Li Gu laughed innocently with him, but he kept silently reciting the pinyin Ji Zhiqing taught him: "li-li, gu-gu, Li Gu." Something is read in the representation of the source.He didn't want to be looked down upon, and he repeated those two pinyin in his dreams.
……
On the first day, Li Gu drank a little too much water before the class bell rang. He passed the corridor and found that the teachers of other classes had already arrived, and everyone in the classroom was sitting upright waiting for the teacher to speak.After passing Class [-] and Class [-], the corner in front of him should be his class, but Li Gu heard an extremely noisy voice from a distance, saying that even the vegetable market is too flattering, and the vegetable market entrance is not too bad.
There was no teacher in this room alone, and Li Gu walked in with a low eyebrow, without attracting anyone's attention, probably it is not unusual for anyone here to come and go.Xu Yuan greeted him from a distance, and reserved a seat for him in the third-to-last row.The sense of sacredness in Li Gu's heart has not been completely wiped out, he said embarrassedly: "The teacher hasn't come to give me a seat yet, can I sit now?"
Xu Yuan was amused, and looked at half of his fellow villagers with half wonder and half compassion: "Don't worry, let alone here, no teacher will tell you to come down if you sit on the podium."
Li Gu opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but the buddy behind threw a pair of twos onto the table, oh well, he was playing poker, Li Gu seemed to suddenly understand where he came from.
With a person like Xu Yuan who is willing to play the role of senior, Li Gu quickly figured out the structure of this class - there were more than half of the local children, but after the first half of the semester, a lot of them left at the beginning of this year.There is no other reason. This Xu Jiwen probably doesn't know how to communicate with the school leaders, so the two big bastards in the grade are divided into his class.One is Cheng Yong, he is black and strong, but he is energetic, but unfortunately he is a gangster. It is said that his brother is a gangster outside, and he is a gangster in school. The two brothers chose the same career.The other is Yu Wei. Li Gu has never seen this person's eyes clearly. His bangs are longer than the girl's, which is in line with the melancholy and fragile beauty that was popular at that time.Yu Wei is surrounded by high school bullies, even though he is very non-mainstream, there are many crowds.
This cat is as old as a dog, and if there is a gangster, it is easy to develop a circle of gangsters, so some deviations have occurred in the temperament of the whole class.Li Gu was stunned by the little classmates with bangs around Yu Wei, and when the class bell rang three times, a dying scholar-like man came in from outside—this was Xu Jiwen, whom Li Gu placed high hopes on.
Xu Jiwen wore glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the legs of the glasses were wrapped with wool several times.He is about 50 or [-] years old, maybe younger, but the accumulated sorrow is written on his face, which adds vicissitudes to this face.Li Gu looked at his new teacher with scorching eyes, but all he could find from behind the lens was indifference.In the first class, Mr. Li Gu thought he would say something, but no, Xu Jiwen directly asked someone to open the book to the first lesson, and read it from the beginning to the end according to the textbook.He has achieved the ultimate in following the scriptures, reading the textbooks and supplementary materials, without even a single punctuation mark.
Li Gu felt strange, and quietly looked around, everyone seemed to be used to it.Those who should play poker continued to play with enthusiasm, and those who slept peacefully continued to sleep. Only he himself looked at Xu Jiwen with his neck stretched out, with old-fashioned expectations, like a meerkat who had never seen the world.
He's only afraid of being disappointed in himself
Only then did the village head realize that he was in a mess when he cared. Seeing Li Gu staring at him nervously, his hairs all over his body being pricked up, he swallowed a sigh of relief, returned home and sat down, and didn't go out any more. run.There is no farm work to do in winter, and it rains all day and night, and everyone doesn't go out much.The village head stood at the window and smoked a pipe, and saw the wind blow a tree down, and the tree heel rolled down the mountain with mud.
Sure enough, the mud on the mountain couldn't hold onto the ground. After the rain, I don't know if I can hold on.The village chief frowned tightly. This road has been the painstaking effort of the villagers for several months, and Ning Chuan can no longer spend the money to buy stones.
Li Gu saw that he was worried, so he raised his voice, and the exaggeration in his words was even a bit funny: "Don't watch it, if it really collapses, it will collapse. I watched TV yesterday, and there was a man from the next county who went out to study and became a student." When I came back, I built a road for my family. I’ll build one for you tomorrow, as long as you want, and as wide as you want.” He didn’t have any confidence in his heart, whether he could even get into that poor junior high school It’s all different, but he himself is alone, and the only thing he can promise is this vision.
The village head snorted and glanced at him, as if he was really pleased, he stopped smoking and closed the window of Piaoyu.Seeing that he finally stopped thinking about going out in the rain, Li Gu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered that he was a little ashamed of his brashness, buried his head in the book, and didn't say anything more.
After the rain stopped, the village head was in a hurry to check the condition of the road, but unfortunately, he found that the stones were missing again. The village head spat and said hell, who would steal things in this kind of weather? .Li Gu watched from the side, it wasn't that the road was crushed and everything was not so bad.
On the way back, I saw Tu Qingchuan with muddy trouser legs.Li Gu called him all the way: "Uncle Tu, the road is not good today, don't go to collect medicine!" Tu Qingchuan froze for a moment: "It's okay when the rain stops." "Don't go!" The teacher said that it will rain again, and it is very dangerous." "Hey, yes, yes." Tu Qingchuan nodded repeatedly.
What Ji Zhiqing listened to on the radio was right. Before nightfall, it started to rain again. This time it was so loud that it was not even a question of whether the house could stand it.Li Gu was worried that the village head couldn't take it anymore, he was restless, and wanted to take a peek at the old man's situation from time to time.The village chief lowered his eyes and knocked on the table: "Read your book and don't think about anything else."
The next day, most of the road was washed away, and the broken tree roots were seen from a distance on the pile of rocks. It was obvious what the situation was.Fortunately, the rain finally stopped and the sky cleared completely.Ji Zhiqing rushed over with Ji Hanxing, probably knowing that the village head would feel bad if the road was destroyed.Everyone looked at him, but the village head refused to show any strangeness, wiped his face and forced a smile: "You know the mountain that Yugong moved, it's just a road, we are all here, generation after generation Yes, you can always get out."
When he turned his back, Li Gu saw that his eyes were red.For a long time from generation to generation, the predecessors left this stall, and the young man has not yet grown up, and now the burden falls on his shoulders.There are no generations, only him.
Seeing that the New Year's Eve was only a few days away, the village head deliberately turned over this page, and after the year, he would find someone to clean up the rubble.As a result, the rabbit came running with red eyes.The wet mud and water splashed all the way, came over and hugged the village chief's thigh and cried: "My father, my father is gone!"
The hearts of the two adults thumped, and they didn't care about the New Year's Eve. They called all the young and old in the village along the road to bring their tools and head towards that road.It didn't take long to excavate, and in the pile of rocks, I saw trouser legs covered with mud.
Tu Qingchuan left just like that, and the onlookers were terrified and baffled.The discussion became louder and louder, and a few people who knew that the stone was missing couldn't help but look at the village chief. They had already reached a conclusion in their hearts and waited for the village chief to preside over the justice.The news of the dead man being dug up quickly spread, and people from the village came over one after another. Parents covering their children's eyes couldn't stop those curious and fearful gazes.
The village chief took two puffs of cigarettes, and when he was about to understand what was going on, he was angry, but he quickly made a decision in his heart.It was a big deal, and everyone formed a circle, waiting for him to speak.
Tu Yuming helped his grandma who couldn't keep walking, and now he was in a daze, and he didn't dare to recognize the man in the pile of rocks as his father.The village chief glanced at the mother-in-law and grandson, and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Two days ago, the stone materials for our road construction were always running low. At that time, we suspected that someone had stolen it. In order not to delay everyone's New Year's Eve, I didn't tell everyone. As for me, I sold my old face and went to Qingchuan. Seeing that he is young The strong one asked him to help me see the mountains. When it rained on the first day, he was not asked to go, and the thief took the opportunity to pick up the stones. The next day when it rained, I told him not to go, but this honest boy still came ..." At this point, everyone understood. The few people who had doubts in their hearts knew what they should do when they saw the village chief squatting down and starting to pick up stones to dig Tu Qingchuan out with his bare hands.They joined in one after another, moving the rocks from the man aside.
Tears flowed from Grandma Rabbit's cloudy eyes, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything in the end.Seeing her like this, a man in the village sighed and comforted her, don't worry, old man, Qingchuan left because of doing things for everyone, and the villagers will not treat you badly.As soon as the words came out, everyone, old and young, also echoed. Tu Yuming wiped away his tears and thanked them.The village chief looked at the mother-in-law and grandson who were surrounded by the crowd to comfort them, and then called Li Gu, who was stunned to the side, to come and help, and moved the stone off Tu Qingchuan's body.
i don't really bully
Seeing Tu Qingchuan's unrecognizable face in the pile of rocks, Li Gu subconsciously covered Ji Hanxing's eyes.Having been with the village chief for so long, he knew that what the village chief said was false, but seeing what he said was so sure, Li Gu doubted his own judgment.Ji Hanxing stood still obediently, allowing him to cover his eyes without struggling, and his long and dense eyelashes gently scratched Li Gu's palm.Seeing this, Ji Zhiqing motioned for Li Gu to let go of his hand. Li Gu hesitated for a while, then took away his hand and protected Ji Hanxing behind him.
Ji Hanxing remembered this scene many years later, it was the two closest people in his later life.One covered his eyes in front of the dead, refusing to let him see anything bad, and the other asked him to watch a farewell, urging him to grow up faster.
The old village head was standing on the ruined road, Li Gu felt that his emotions were about to collapse, but he didn't show anything, and directed the crowd to dig out Tu Qingchuan, even ignoring food on the way.Back at night, Li Gu fetched hot water to soak his feet, and asked him in a low voice if he wanted to smoke, but the old village chief didn't answer.Li Gu's heart was pounding even more.He had a stomach full of things he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to speak.
When I went out to pour water, I happened to meet Grandma Rabbit bringing Tu Yuming over. He ushered the two of them in, and the village chief was just putting on socks on his feet after soaking in heat.Without saying a word, the old lady first took out a cloth bag from her pocket, which contained a few banknotes. She was much better than the helpless and terrified look when she first heard the bad news. She handed the money to the village chief and poked it He said in his heart: "I, diabetes, there is nothing I can do. Qingchuan doesn't want me to procrastinate like this, let me treat it, and tell me that he is out looking for money, so let me not worry about it. I didn't expect that he was looking for this money. It doesn’t matter if I’m old or dead, but if I want to live, I’m hurting the young. I don’t have the face in front of so many people, and I’m afraid that Yuming won’t be able to gain a foothold in the village in the future, but my conscience can’t bear it. There are still these at home, I don’t know if it’s enough to make up for those stones.”
The village chief listened to her in silence, counted the bills in the cloth bag, took out the one with the smallest denomination, stuffed the rest back, and handed it to her: "It will be considered as filled."
Tears welled up in Grandma Rabbit's eyes, and she wanted to kneel down for him, but the village chief grabbed her and said, "No need to do this. Life may be a little harder in the future, Yuming, you have to take care of him."
Grandma Rabbit saw that he was not affected by her kneeling, so she asked Tu Yuming to kowtow to him, and Tu Yuming did so in a daze.It took him a long time to understand what happened, and he was a little dazed holding the newly bought football Tu Qingchuan bought him.Not long ago, he played football with Tu Qingchuan in the yard, and he got a brand new football as a New Year's gift.But so soon, the person who played with him disappeared.Tu Qingchuan also told him to learn to write hard, but he didn't even have time to learn to write for him.
Ji Hanxing also finally understood why she refused to eat the crispy candy he gave Grandma Rabbit on New Year's Eve. She couldn't eat any more candy, and the family couldn't afford the money for her dialysis.The New Year's Eve is coming soon, and the death of a young man casts a shadow over the small mountain village, but the New Year must be passed.This is how time moves forward all the way, and no one or anything will stop it.It doesn't care if someone is left behind by it, time doesn't know how to turn back.
The Spring Festival couplets given to Tu Yuming's family by Ji Hanxing that year were useless, and his family pasted up white couplets.
Li Gu thought about it seriously, and he began to realize that poverty can eat people.He studies harder than ever, and after finishing his homework, he goes to Ji Zhiqing's house to do questions, and asks questions in time if he can't.The requirements for elementary school students in the countryside are not high, and arithmetic can still be done with their comprehension ability. The main problem is literacy and the accent of the country when they are studying. Ji Zhiqing is very demanding on this. Gu spoke Mandarin with its own landmarks.
On the first day of the new year, every household will set off firecrackers to get rid of the old and welcome the new.There are always one or two unfinished firecrackers in a plate. Children in the mountains like to pick them up and light them to hear the sound.When Li Gu took Ji Hanxing to deliver food to the rabbit's house, a small firecracker happened to explode on the side of the road. Ji Hanxing was startled, his eyes widened, and he grabbed Li Gu's clothes.The way he expresses his fear is always reserved, rather than outright.Li Gu looked in the direction from which the firecrackers were thrown, and the mischievous child had already disappeared.
This incident made Li Gu very angry. On the way, when he saw a child holding an inferior lighter and preparing to light a firecracker, he rushed forward and snatched the thing.He has always occupied the title of King of the Mountain but has never really been a bully. This time he got angry at the crown, and he felt a little bit happy.Throwing the confiscated small tubes of firecrackers into the puddle and soaking them, some children were not convinced and asked him to reason. Li Gu raised an eyebrow and threatened impatiently: "What are you playing, can firecrackers be played? Just you This little arm can be blown up if you don't pay attention. Take a breath, and cry again and tie the firecracker to your ass and send you to heaven, believe it or not?" The rest of the children looked at each other, and went to their parents to complain.
Ji Hanxing followed behind him obediently, Li Gu thought for a while and said to him: "I was joking just now, I won't really bully people."
Ji Hanxing smiled at him, the meaning in his eyes was "Well, I know."
Will you come and see me off?
Li Gu was very worried about the rabbit in private, but he didn't tell his parents. If there was something he couldn't figure out, he would ask Ji Hanxing: "What do you think about this? What about the rabbit?" It is heartbreaking for the bystanders, as if the seedlings without protection cannot grow, but those children who really lose protection will eventually grow up slowly on their own.
Ji Zhiqing had a talk with Grandma Rabbit once, and he didn't know what they said. Later, Tu Yuming also joined their reading team.Li Gu felt a little sad when he saw him at first, but couldn't help but look at him with sympathy, but then he thought about it, he himself is fatherless.As for Ji Hanxing, Ji Hanxing doesn't have a father.The fatherless trio hit it off right away, reading and doing homework together every day is another kind of fulfillment.
The addition of Tu Yuming made Li Gu more motivated to fight. He has been crushed by Ji Hanxing for a long time when it comes to studying, and he can't find any dignity of his brother. After Tu Yuming came, he can be regarded as the last one for him.Probably the bottom No.2 in every class would have this kind of indescribable affection for the bottom one, with a less progressive foil, Li Gu finally regained some face.He developed a new hobby, tutoring Tu Yuming in front of Ji Hanxing when he had nothing to do. Anyway, the rabbit's level is the worst, and he can't tell right from wrong, so he just accepts it wholeheartedly.
Li Gu absorbs a lot of new things every day, frantically memorizes texts to learn new words, just treats himself as a container, desperately stuffs everything he can see into his mind.After handing in his homework one day, he stood in front of Ji Zhiqing a little nervously, and asked him if he could succeed in taking the exam. Ji Zhiqing looked at him calmly, and finally smiled a little after a long silence , Said yes, it must be no problem to be the last one in the school in the town.Li Gu's tension for a long time suddenly relaxed, being able to be the bottom one shows that he will definitely be able to pass the exam.Ji Zhiqing didn't know what to say to his overly open-minded brain circuit for a while, but it was not that he was not unhappy for him.
In fact, Ji Zhiqing really didn't expect him to be willing to put in such effort, and there was no need to take an exam to join the class. Ji Zhiqing set a high goal for him just to scare him.
Li Gu's matter was settled, all that was left was to send Ji Hanxing away.His boarding school started in early February, and Ji Zhiqing and Ji Zhiqing had to leave one week in advance to go through the relevant admission procedures.Li Gu didn't say anything on the face, and went back every day to secretly look at the calendar. He also knew that school would start soon in the city, and he was in a panic.Li Gu is not very willing to part with Ji Hanxing, he feels that Ji Hanxing is pitiful, a little baby, has no father and has never seen a mother, the only guardian wants to send him away to a boarding school.Li Gu was worried about his loneliness and his safety, afraid that he, who was made out of flour, would be bullied.The two of them escaped from that pervert's hands together, they were close friends, and they were about to be separated like this, it really made me feel aggrieved.
Li Gu was originally an unenlightened person, but Ji Hanxing's arrival brought him many different things, Li Gu couldn't tell what it was.It's like when people look up at the starry sky, those bright and distant light spots can be seen, but they can't tell what they see.As soon as Ji Hanxing left, the whole of Ningchuan seemed to turn gray and bare again, just like the hopeless long winter here.But Li Gu Buquan felt that this was a bad thing, he was going to study in the town, his life had just begun, and there would be many possibilities in the future.
The two children tacitly did not mention the matter of leaving, and finally counting the days is really fast.Li Gu didn't hold his breath, and couldn't help asking Ji Hanxing: "When are you leaving?" Ji Hanxing tilted his head and thought for a while, counting on his fingers, and said with certainty that it was number nine.He has always been very calm, Li Gu looked at him like this, suddenly he was embarrassed to reveal that he was not calm without him, so he pretended to be calm and nodded, and just put it in his heart for a while.
He turned around to go back, but Ji Hanxing suddenly stopped him: "Brother, will you come see me off?"
Li Gu couldn't calm down anymore, and replied loudly: "Yes!"
Li Gu went back and took a pencil to make a big mark on that day's calendar.Number nine, he can't be missed, he still has a few days, and number seven goes to the town in someone else's car. During the Chinese New Year, the village chief gave him a little money from his fingers, and he has never been willing to use it.He wanted to buy some gifts for Ji Hanxing.
……
Ji Hanxing also suddenly knew that he was going to leave on the [-]th. Ji Zhiqing probably knew that he had to say goodbye to his friends here, so he specially gave him some time.When the child got up and learned that he was going to leave today, his expression was not quite right, he put on his clothes and hurried out of the house.Ji Zhiqing didn't know, so it was very late yesterday when the people from the commissary came to ask him to answer the phone, and Ji Hanxing had already fallen asleep, so he couldn't tell him in time.This matter was extremely hasty for both adults and children. Ji Hanxing trotted all the way to the village chief's house, only to find that the door was locked from the outside.Running too fast, he choked on the cold wind and went in. He was a little out of breath, swallowed his saliva hard, and immediately pulled his legs to the direction of the village committee.He found the old village head there, and learned that Li Gu had gone to the city.
If you go to the city from Ningchuan, you won't be able to come back until it's dark.And if they want to go into the city, they must leave before noon, no matter how they count, they won't be able to see each other.
Ji Hanxing pursed his lips, and took down Ji Zhiqing's calligraphy practice book that he packed in his luggage: "Can I leave this for Brother Li Gu?"
It was a copybook handwritten by Ji Zhiqing's father. Both Ji Zhiqing and Ji Hanxing learned to write from him.Ji Zhiqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Dog thing, looks like a human
That year when Li Gu came back, he didn't find his little star. He bought him candy and a new book, but he didn't have a chance to give them away.At first, he had resentment and unwillingness in his heart, but soon this emotion was washed away by time, leaving only pure thoughts.
After Ji Zhiqing came back, Li Gu was asked to do two decent test papers, and then he got the news that he could go to the town's junior high school to join the class.This is a very remarkable achievement in his past life, which made the village chief so happy that he took out the wine he was reluctant to drink at dinner.In the past, the village head was reluctant to touch this small wine jar every time he was greedy for wine, saying that he would save it for the day when Li Gu married his wife.Li Gu was not well educated at the time, so he didn't know what was wrong. Later, he realized that he had been overwhelmed by Ji Hanxing all his life, and maybe this unlucky old man had contributed to his "daughter's red".
Still reluctant to drink the wine, the village chief dipped two drops with his chopsticks and put it back like a baby: "This is junior high school, don't drink too much. I'll take a sip when you're admitted to high school, and I'll take a sip when you're admitted to university." Just have a drink."
And Li Gu himself just breathed a sigh of relief, as if all his strength had been used up in the process, and the personnel affairs were exhausted, and the subsequent results had to be arranged by God instead, and had nothing to do with him.
The old village head was busy with his own affairs a few days before he left, and he didn't show any reluctance to this dog.The night before his departure, he threw away Li Gu's two new sets of clothes and a new pair of shoes. Li Gu had a lot of money, but the old village chief didn't tell him with his nose turned up: "Why do you ask this? You gave it to me?" Li Gu felt that he was holding the heart of the head of the family, and said earnestly, "I grow up fast, so I don't need so many new clothes. You have more money to spend." The old village chief kicked him and asked him to change into some clothes Trying, Li Gu rubbed his ass, feeling that he didn't get the respect he should have for a cultural person.
He shook off the two clothes and found that the styles were very different. One of them was bought by the old village chief. Made Li Gu a similar style.The white shirt, one size bigger, has not been ironed, and it is crumpled and stuck to Li Gu's underdeveloped body. If it is not for the color, it is still new, and anyone who looks at it will feel that it is inherited from the previous generation.The other sweatshirt has a good taste beyond the understanding of the village head. It is probably because the person who bought it was extravagant and didn't buy it according to the size.The old village chief snorted, pinched Li Gu's arm, patted him on the back, looked him back and forth, like checking the growth of animals in the pen.After the inspection, the old village chief came to a critical conclusion: "The dog looks like a human being."
Then he looked at Li Gu for a long time, and pulled out the collar that was pressed into his clothes for him: "It must be you, Mr. Ji, who bought this outfit for you, you can slow down, or you won't be able to wear it next year. "Li Gu bowed his head and said nothing, and it took him a long time to say in a low voice: "Then I'm going to thank him." The village head patted his dog's head: "You just need to make less trouble, your teacher Ji didn't ask me to tell you " Li Gu blamed Teacher Ji for not sending Ji Hanxing away, probably he really had nothing to hide in his heart, and his dissatisfaction was not cryptic enough to let people see the clues.
Li Gu packed up his small broken bag, the bag was very small, and the clothes would definitely wrinkle when stuffed in, but this did not affect Li Gu's use of tofu cubes as the standard to fold the clothes neatly.The most precious thing in his luggage was the copybook that Ji Hanxing left him, which was neatly wrapped in a plastic bag and ironed like a shiny film.
It was quite early when he left, the fog in the mountains had not cleared, and it was cold spring, and he was not very active in going to work in the sun.The village chief didn't come to see him off, he went to the city earlier than Li Gu to ask for this year's subsidy.In the gray morning, Li Gu looked back at the place where he had lived for more than ten years. He saw a figure poked on the side of the road. Li Gu recognized that it was Ji Zhiqing. A tree that won't bend over.
Li Gu couldn't tell what was going on in his heart, he didn't have the nerve to walk over, instead he took two quick steps forward, and the figure of Ji Zhiqing he saw became smaller as he walked, Li Gu finally stopped, took a deep breath, and walked a long way. He yelled: "Teacher Ji——! I'm leaving! I'll study hard!" The mountains echoed Li Gu's ghostly cries and wolf howls, and the dogs in the whole village were startled to bark after him.
Ji Zhiqing finally moved and waved at him.Sending each other off in a breeze, and having no more words to say, Ji Zhiqing turned around and walked into the room, smiling relievedly.
Li Gu went to the county seat alone.
The sign of County No. [-] Middle School hangs on the not too high outer wall, covered with years of dust.Li Gu took a deep breath. Although the appearance was dilapidated, it did not affect the holy sense of seeking knowledge in his heart. He stared at the sign for a long time, trying to imprint the black words on a white background in his heart, as a new beginning of his schooling career.Unexpectedly, a mixed-haired dog ran over with a thumping calf, kicked its hind legs, and took a dip in front of the brand with ease.Li Gu's eyebrows trembled.
The author has something to say
Boss Li, a man who has set a flag for himself since he was a child...
I have never seen a meerkat in the world
With the previous encounter as a basis, Li Gu became much calmer after seeing the school's dilapidated dormitory building that was no different from Ningchuan.There are not many school boarders in the county town, and most of the students here are local children.The small number of people who need boarding are from the countryside. They have neither the right to speak, nor do they have parents to greet them, so as long as the dormitory is not too dilapidated, there is no big problem.
Li Gu signed up, received his book, and was divided into classes. He knew that his class teacher was a man named Xu Jiwen.He heard Ji Zhiqing mention this name, and it can be summed up in three words "educated".Li Gu had a little more expectation for the new life he was about to start.
As a result, during the conversation with his roommate, he found that this class was full of talents. Not only did the class score last but also won several blank papers, and it was stable at the bottom of the team and individual competitions.Li Gu only took it as a joke, and even breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he might not have to be the last one, which shows that he is still a very optimistic child so far.
After a while a short boy came over, and he introduced himself as Xu Yuan in Mandarin with a deliberately corrected accent.Li Gu grinned at him, and simply communicated with him in his native dialect.Xu Yuan rolled his small eyes: "Hey, where are you from?" "Ning Chuan." "Oh, Ning Chuan..."
Then Xu Yuan showed a clear and subtle look, and it was only later that Li Gu realized that it should be a complex emotion mixed with avoidance and sympathy, a look of one kind of poverty to another kind of poverty.Xu Yuan is thin and thin, even if he is placed among a group of circus monkeys, he is still the one with stunted development.He sighed maturely: "Why didn't you find someone when you joined the class? What's the use of being assigned to this class?"
"Find someone?"
Xu Yuan tried to act like a big brother talking to his younger brother by putting his shoulders on his shoulders, but the height was not high enough, and the way he reached out to grab his shoulders looked like a monkey picking peaches.Li Gu, who was straight-eyed and stupefied, didn't have much vision, and still raised questions with a ignorant face, so Xu Yuan could only withdraw his hand in embarrassment, and said, "Class [-] is not a place to study. No one learns or teaches, You have a number in your heart."
Li Gu couldn't answer for a while, it took him a lot of effort to get a job transfer opportunity from Ningchuan to join here, how could it be possible that no one taught and no one learned, Xu Yuan gave him a half-smile inscrutablely Unsmiling expression: "By the way, if the teacher asks you to introduce yourself, remember to speak Mandarin. At least you must be able to read the name." After he finished speaking, the corners of his mouth drooped quickly, which was an inadvertent gesture. It seemed to bring back some unpleasant memories.Then teach him to read in overcorrected Mandarin: "Li Gu."
Li Gu laughed innocently with him, but he kept silently reciting the pinyin Ji Zhiqing taught him: "li-li, gu-gu, Li Gu." Something is read in the representation of the source.He didn't want to be looked down upon, and he repeated those two pinyin in his dreams.
……
On the first day, Li Gu drank a little too much water before the class bell rang. He passed the corridor and found that the teachers of other classes had already arrived, and everyone in the classroom was sitting upright waiting for the teacher to speak.After passing Class [-] and Class [-], the corner in front of him should be his class, but Li Gu heard an extremely noisy voice from a distance, saying that even the vegetable market is too flattering, and the vegetable market entrance is not too bad.
There was no teacher in this room alone, and Li Gu walked in with a low eyebrow, without attracting anyone's attention, probably it is not unusual for anyone here to come and go.Xu Yuan greeted him from a distance, and reserved a seat for him in the third-to-last row.The sense of sacredness in Li Gu's heart has not been completely wiped out, he said embarrassedly: "The teacher hasn't come to give me a seat yet, can I sit now?"
Xu Yuan was amused, and looked at half of his fellow villagers with half wonder and half compassion: "Don't worry, let alone here, no teacher will tell you to come down if you sit on the podium."
Li Gu opened his mouth wide and wanted to say something, but the buddy behind threw a pair of twos onto the table, oh well, he was playing poker, Li Gu seemed to suddenly understand where he came from.
With a person like Xu Yuan who is willing to play the role of senior, Li Gu quickly figured out the structure of this class - there were more than half of the local children, but after the first half of the semester, a lot of them left at the beginning of this year.There is no other reason. This Xu Jiwen probably doesn't know how to communicate with the school leaders, so the two big bastards in the grade are divided into his class.One is Cheng Yong, he is black and strong, but he is energetic, but unfortunately he is a gangster. It is said that his brother is a gangster outside, and he is a gangster in school. The two brothers chose the same career.The other is Yu Wei. Li Gu has never seen this person's eyes clearly. His bangs are longer than the girl's, which is in line with the melancholy and fragile beauty that was popular at that time.Yu Wei is surrounded by high school bullies, even though he is very non-mainstream, there are many crowds.
This cat is as old as a dog, and if there is a gangster, it is easy to develop a circle of gangsters, so some deviations have occurred in the temperament of the whole class.Li Gu was stunned by the little classmates with bangs around Yu Wei, and when the class bell rang three times, a dying scholar-like man came in from outside—this was Xu Jiwen, whom Li Gu placed high hopes on.
Xu Jiwen wore glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the legs of the glasses were wrapped with wool several times.He is about 50 or [-] years old, maybe younger, but the accumulated sorrow is written on his face, which adds vicissitudes to this face.Li Gu looked at his new teacher with scorching eyes, but all he could find from behind the lens was indifference.In the first class, Mr. Li Gu thought he would say something, but no, Xu Jiwen directly asked someone to open the book to the first lesson, and read it from the beginning to the end according to the textbook.He has achieved the ultimate in following the scriptures, reading the textbooks and supplementary materials, without even a single punctuation mark.
Li Gu felt strange, and quietly looked around, everyone seemed to be used to it.Those who should play poker continued to play with enthusiasm, and those who slept peacefully continued to sleep. Only he himself looked at Xu Jiwen with his neck stretched out, with old-fashioned expectations, like a meerkat who had never seen the world.
He's only afraid of being disappointed in himself
