Liu Qingshan listened to the uncle's words, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously: "Uncle, can I go to the teacher's office to have a look?"

When the uncle heard this, he looked Liu Qingshan up and down, and nodded: "Yes, you can, but you have to sign and register first." ”

"Thank you, uncle. ”

After signing and registering, Liu Qingshan followed the instructions of the uncle and came directly to the teacher's office.

Because the school is not big, the teachers only have one office, so it is easy to find.

When Liu Qingshan walked to the door of the office, he happened to hear Agui's voice: "Teacher, I know what you say, but you say, even if a person like me reads well, what can he do?"

"Agui, why do you think so?" The teacher who spoke was a kind-faced male teacher, who looked to be about fifty years old, wearing a pair of eyes, and his hair was half white.

He sat sideways behind the desk by the windowsill, with a kind and somewhat angry look, and looked at Agui who was standing next to him with his head hanging as if he hated iron and steel, and said: "Agui, knowledge is fate, this, you should know, as long as you master the knowledge, you can control your own destiny in the future." ”

Ah Gui snorted: "I don't want any future." ”

"Why do you say that?" the teacher was so angry by Gui's words that his tone became a little louder, "Then tell the teacher, is there any difficulty in your family? If there is a difficulty, you tell the teacher, and the teacher will help you find a way." ”

Agui shook his head that had been hanging down, and whispered: "Teacher, don't care about me, I don't want to study, I don't like to read." ”

This sentence was heard by the other teachers in the office, and everyone looked at the thin Agui in surprise.

Another female teacher wearing glasses asked suspiciously: "Agui, why do you have this kind of thought? Your grades have always been very good, didn't you take the first place in the final exam last semester? Why do you have this kind of thinking now?"

"That's right, Agui, don't think nonsense, your first task now is to study hard, so that you can have a good future in the future. ”

"Do you have a problem? Tell us about it, and we'll help you figure it out. ”

The teachers' earnest concern made Agui's throat sore for a while.

He bit his lip, shook his head stubbornly, and said nothing.

The old head teacher still persuaded him unwillingly: "Agui, I was similar to you when I was a child, but at that time, I had many brothers and sisters in my family, and even eating was a problem, let alone studying, my parents didn't want me to study, but I insisted on reading, because I knew that poor people like us could only study if they wanted to change their fate." ”

Seeing that Agui still didn't speak, the old head teacher continued: "Look at the current conditions, are they much better than I did then? Now the country is afraid that the children in the mountains will not be able to eat, so they will prepare breakfast and lunch for you, and they will not charge a penny, as long as people can come to school, such good conditions and opportunities, if you don't cherish them, when you grow up in the future, you can only regret it." ”

"Don't look at those big brothers and sisters who go to work in factories now, earning thousands of dollars a month, it seems to be very beautiful, but they earn hard-earned money, and once they stop working, they don't have any income, they work overtime until late at night every day, and their income is completely disproportionate to their efforts. If you continue like this, you will only be one of them in the future. Gui, you are a smart child, you deserve a better future. ”

There are really not many good teachers like this. Liu Qingshan stood outside the door, thinking to himself that if he had met such a good teacher who had enlightened him when he was studying, it was estimated that he would have been able to finish his studies.

Of course, he can't be compared with Ah Gui, Ah Gui is a scholar, he is a scumbag.

"Agui. The teacher obviously didn't want to give up on Agui, so he was patient and taught earnestly, "No matter what problems you encounter, you can tell us, as long as you can help, the teachers will not help you." ”

Ah Gui looked at the pink shoes that he had sewn and mended countless times, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

Actually, he didn't want to do that.

However, he overheard his mother calling his sister and saying that he had already asked for her, and although she was not yet sixteen years old, some small factories would pretend to be deaf and dumb, that is, even if her sister was not yet an adult, she could go to work in a small factory.

You don't have to think about it to know that the only reason my sister did this was for him.

In order to treat him, in order to allow him to continue in school, in order to help his mother reduce the burden.

He thought that if his sister who was a girl could make sacrifices, why couldn't he be a man.

He also wants to do something, he also wants to protect his sister and mother like his sister and mother protect him.

With a mist in his eyes, he shook his head again and said, "Teacher, I don't have any difficulties, I just don't want to study, I think reading is too hard, and I have to write homework and walk so far every day, I don't want to read, teacher, you don't care about me, just let me go." ”

"Agui. Liu Qingshan really couldn't listen to it anymore.

He walked into the office quickly, first greeted the teachers embarrassedly, and then grabbed Agui's arm with an indignant face, and reprimanded: "Agui, how can you say that, do you know how hard your mother works every day to let you study with your sister?"

"Brother Aoyama. Brother Qingshan's unexpected appearance startled Agui.

He looked at Brother Qingshan in a daze, his face full of panic, as if he had done something bad and had been discovered.

"Agui, what's the matter with you? When I went into the mountains today, I met your mother, she was distracted while working, I asked her what's wrong, she said that you have been very strange lately, your grades have been declining, why are you like this?"

"Me. Agui bit his lip and lowered his head again, "Just like you heard, I just don't want to read anymore, I think reading is too hard." ”

"It's hard to study, no matter how hard you study, is there any hard work?" Liu Qingshan was so angry by Ah Gui's words that he reprimanded, "Your mother gets up before dawn every day to work, and doesn't go home until dark.

"yes. Agui. When the head teacher saw a helper, he hurriedly followed and said, "No matter how hard you study, you don't have to work hard." Don't be stupid, read well, don't be cranky. ”

"Leave me alone. Agui was still very stubborn, "I only know my own business, you don't care about me." ”

With that, Agui ran out of the office and towards the classroom.

Seeing this, Liu Qingshan was even more angry, and he hated to beat Agui.

The head teacher sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on, since this kid came back from the last hospitalization, he seems to have changed as a different person, he deserted in class, he didn't take his homework seriously, and he actually fought with his classmates." Alas, how did this kid become like this. ”

Liu Qingshan listened to the teacher's words and felt incredible.

Is this still the Agui he knows?

"Agui. Fat Bear gently poked Ah Gui with a pencil from behind, and whispered, "Have you been scolded by the teacher again?"

"Nope. Agui shook his head, "He just told me that he wanted me to study hard." ”

"Then why don't you listen to him?" asked Fat Bear.

Ah Gui was silent for a while, and then asked rhetorically: "Fat bear, let me ask you, if you study, no, if you continue to steal your father's honey, your father will be arrested and imprisoned, so do you still eat it?"

"Huh?" Fat Bear was confused by the question, "What does it have to do with whether I eat honey or not?

"I'm just using an analogy, if you continue to eat sugar, no matter what kind of candy you eat, as long as you eat it, your dad will be arrested and put in jail, then do you still eat candy?"

"Of course not. Fat Bear didn't want to think about it and said very firmly, "Although the sugar is delicious, but I can't live without my father, although my father always beats me, but he is all for my good, I know, if you want to catch my father, then I can never eat sugar for the rest of my life." ”

It's hard to imagine that a fat bear who knew that he would be beaten up by his father for stealing honey would say such a thing.

If the fat bear who loves candy can give up his favorite candy for his father, Agui thinks that it is nothing to give up studying for the sake of his sister.

Also, he had to rely on the hospital to continue his life, and now, for his burden, if he had to burden his sister to drop out of school, then he would simply deserve death.

"That's fine. Agui said, "If you can do it, I will." ”

"Huh?" Fat Bear scratched his head, inexplicably feeling as if he had said something wrong.

At the end of school, Liu Qingshan waited for Agui and Fat Bear at the school gate.

He was quite surprised to see the two boys actually walk out together.

Didn't you say that this fat bear and Ah Gui are sworn enemies, why is the relationship so good now?

The two looked at Brother Qingshan at the door, but their expressions were very different.

The fat bear ran over almost in three steps and two steps, but Agui hesitated, as if he didn't want to see Liu Qingshan's appearance.

Liu Qingshan knew that Ah Gui was upset about breaking into the fact that he was being lectured by the teacher, so he said, "Ah Gui, get in the car quickly, I'll take you home." Hehe, what, I'm still afraid that I will make a small report to your mother, don't worry, I won't tell your mother about the things you were interviewed by the teacher today. ”

"Really?" Although Ah Gui didn't want to study anymore, he didn't want his idea to put pressure on his mother.

He wanted everyone to be able to calmly accept the fact that he didn't want to study anymore.

"Well, I assure you. Liu Qingshan smiled.

Ah Gui then got into the car with the fat bear.

After returning to the village, Liu Qingshan did not go back to the old village, but went home with Agui.

Ah Gui was a little uneasy, walked in front, and didn't speak.

It wasn't until he arrived at the door of the house that he saw that Brother Qingshan didn't mean to turn around and go home, so he asked, "Brother Qingshan, don't you have to go home to work?"

"No, I don't. Liu Qingshan shook his head, raised his hand and touched Agui's brain, and said with a smile, "I'll pick you up from school, and you haven't given me gas money yet." ”

"Huh?" the sentence made Ah Gui's eyes widen.

"Oh, yes, that, but, me. "All of a sudden, he didn't know what to do.

He did take Brother Qingshan's car, and logically speaking, he should indeed give some gas money.

"No money, right?" Liu Qingshan saw that Ah Gui looked embarrassed, and smiled again, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, just invite me to dinner." ”

"Ah, that, that's fine. "Although I don't really want to keep Brother Qingshan, I can't help it now. He could only invite Brother Qingshan to the house.

Agui's house is really simple.

So rudimentary that there wasn't even a decent piece of furniture.

However, the house is cleaned inside and out, which shows the owner's love for life. Even if you are poor, even if you are hard, you still have to face life with a good heart.

Agui put down his schoolbag and said to Liu Qingshan: "Brother Qingshan, you sit down for a while, I'll go and light the fire first, and my mother will come back later." ”

"Okay. Liu Qingshan sat down unceremoniously.

Ah Gui secretly glanced at him, and could only flatten his mouth to make a fire.

I don't know if Brother Qingshan will say anything to her when her mother comes back later.

Although he didn't want to study anymore, he still hoped that his mother would be calm and slowly accept this fact, instead of being shocked by the news all of a sudden.

His grades were always the best, and he had always been a source of pride for his mother, who might be sad if she suddenly heard that he didn't want to study.

He thinks that the ideal state is to let his grades fall slowly, and then his learning attitude will decrease little by little, so that his mother can slowly accept the fact that he is indeed not a reader.

Otherwise, my mother will not be able to accept it.

He went to the kitchen to make a fire, and then went on with other chores for a while.

After waiting for about an hour, my mother finally came back from outside.

As soon as Gui's mother walked into the courtyard, she saw Liu Qingshan sitting at the door of the hall swiping his mobile phone.

She was a little surprised: "Qingshan, you're here." ”

Liu Qingshan looked up at Agui's mother and said with a smile: "Yes, auntie, I took Agui back, thinking that I hadn't eaten at your house for so long, so I told Agui that I would eat at your house before I went back." ”

"Haha, no problem, as long as you don't dislike it, it doesn't matter if you come to eat every day. Agui's mother hurriedly put down her tools, washed her hands, and said, "Qingshan, you are a great nobleman in our family, you can come to eat, it is even happier than the New Year." ”

Agui squatted in the kitchen to light a fire, pricked up his ears, and listened to the sound of talking in the courtyard.

Agui's mother continued: "I put the stone flowers in a shady place by the river according to what you said, and dug fifteen trees today. ”
