The snowflakes are blowing, the weather is cold, and Shuidong Village at this time has reached the cold winter.

The Jiang family's adobe house was not heated in the first place, the walls were not in good condition to protect against the cold, and even occasional snowflakes flew in through the cracks in the door, accumulating a thin layer of white snow in front of the door of the house.

The four members of the Jiang family were sitting around the fire to keep warm.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother kept rubbing their hands by the stove, and Jiang Xiaowei also rubbed them, but her movements were too slow to rub any heat. Jiang Jun sat next to Jiang Xiaowei and held his sister's hand in his big hand, Jiang Xiaowei smiled and said, "It's much warmer." ”

Jiang Jun said: "It's really cold here in winter. Is it like this every year?"

Father Jiang said: "Haven't you come here like this since you were a child?"

Jiang Jun said: "If it was in a brick house and there was heating, it would be much better." ”

Jiang's father said: "That's true, but in the village, there are only a few brick houses? The Jinshan Jinshui brothers are the village chief and deputy village head (director), and they have a big brick house at home. Chen Qiming's family also has it. Several important places in the village, such as the village east primary school, Uncle Liu's commissary, and the village infirmary, are all brick houses. In addition to digging these out, most of the homes are also adobe houses. ”

When Jiang Jun heard this, he didn't say much, and immediately pushed the door out.

Seeing that it was snowy outside, and there was a large open space around the house, I looked at the size of the open space, and there was a little advantage to such a countryside, that is, the place was spacious.

This large area of open space can be used to build a house.

After looking at it, he walked into the house and said, "If you build a 120-square-meter house, how much will it cost to renovate it and add heating?"

Jiang's father said: "I originally calculated 80 square meters, according to what you said 120 square meters, plus decoration and heating, at least 3,600 yuan." What, you're going to build a house?"

Jiang Jun said: "Yes, I plan to build a 120-square-meter one." ”

Father Jiang shook his head and said: "This is impossible, even if our family can save 200 yuan a year, 3600 yuan will take more than ten years." What's more, how can we save 200 yuan a year, which is impossible for our family now. ”

Jiang's mother said: "Don't hit the child, Xiaojun has a good idea and ambition." He is young and strong, if he works hard, ten or eight years may really be able to cover it, even if ten or eight years have passed, it still can't be covered, then at least it means that he can go up. ”

Jiang Jun thought to himself: 3,600 yuan, this is indeed much more expensive than the dozens of yuan things he saw before. If I don't have any special abilities, if I only have this strength, I may not be able to cover it in ten or eight years.

But now with a monthly income of 180 yuan, I can earn 3,600 yuan in less than two years.

But this is also slow, and the speed of making money must be accelerated. Try to build the house next winter, but you can't let me, my sister and my current parents survive another winter!

Thinking of this, there is a feeling of blood boiling, and I want to fight hard. I felt like it was time for me to go to the school office and write some manuscripts.

I put on my cotton clothes, walked out the door, and stepped on the snow all the way to the school office. The office door is closed.

Jiang Jun thought to himself, it should be because of the winter vacation, so the office is also closed.

In this case, it is better to go to Principal Chen's house to visit, it is to visit Principal Chen, and if Chen Qing comes back, then I can meet her again.

Thinking of this, he walked towards Principal Chen's house.

When I went to Chen's house, I saw that the brick house of Chen's house was very smooth and beautiful. The courtyard is elegantly furnished and has a unique aesthetic under a layer of snow.

knocked on the door of Principal Chen's house, and after a while, Principal Chen opened the door, saw Jiang Jun, and said with a smile: "Little Jiang, come in and sit." ”

Jiang Jun dusted off the snow on his body, stomped it a few more times, chopped off the snow from the soles of his shoes, and followed Principal Chen inside.

Principal Chen took him to the study, only to see that there was a big bookshelf in the study, a large bookshelf, on which there were many books, among which literature and history books were the most, and some were very academic by their names.

Jiang Jun originally thought that Principal Chen's books were those in the office, but this time he entered the study, which can be regarded as an eye-opener.

Jiang Jun still remembers saying to Principal Chen: "I will do what you will, and I will do if you can't." ”

At that time, I thought that Principal Chen had no culture, so he made a lot of nonsense. Now that I saw so many books in his study, I was also impressed by him, and thought to myself that if I didn't have the special function of the books after understanding, I might not have as much as Principal Chen with just my original knowledge reserves.

People are also readers, and after reading books for 40 years, they should still respect others for more than 10 years.

Principal Chen said, "Xiao Jiang, is it that if the office is not open, there is no place to write books?" took out a stack of manuscripts from the bookcase on the side and said, "This is part of the manuscript of your second volume, I got it here." From now on, you can just write in my study. ”

"That's too much trouble for you......"

"What's the trouble? You are creating excellent literary works now, and the young people in our village want to create excellent literary works, and I, as a scholar, am very willing to open the door to convenience. In the previous years, I still wished that someone would come to my study to write novels, but those young people, all of them are very savage, and it is good not to fight, how can they love literature as much as you do. ”

The feelings of cherishing talent in these words are very obvious.

Jiang Jun thanked Principal Chen and wrote a novel in his study, and Principal Chen was not disturbed, just reading the book opposite.

Jiang Jun raised his eyes and saw that Principal Chen was looking at the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Writing and writing, Jiang Jun pretended to be casual and asked, "Chen Qing should also have a winter vacation over there, right?"

Principal Chen said: "Yes, but they have a make-up class for the winter vacation, and she participated in it if she volunteered. This kid reads hard. ”

Jiang Junqi said: "So, she wants to be admitted to a good university?"

President Chan said, "No, she wants to go to Mizuki University in Kyoto, which is one of the best universities in Kyoto along with Kyoto University. I was there for graduate school, but I went to Guanzhong Normal University as an undergraduate. She wants to get there directly, and she is more ambitious than me. ”

Jiang Jun learned that President Chen had also gone to college and even studied in graduate school. I thought that in this kind of small village, I could become a headmaster if I knew how to read.

When I was admitted to Guanzhong Normal University, it may be more difficult than being directly admitted to Mizuki University today.

Jiang Jun said with some surprise: "You went to college and went to graduate school. It wasn't easy back then. ”

Principal Chen smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, I was admitted with a breath." ”

Jiang Jun said: "In that case, you should be qualified to teach in the university, so why ......?"

Principal Chen sighed and said, "The past is unbearable, write yours." ”

Jiang Jun seemed to understand something, so he didn't ask anymore. Keep your head down and keep writing.
