Chapter 14: Transfers
After Mr. Xu came in, he said: "Congratulations, congratulations, Chen Hansheng is about to graduate from my big camphor tree primary school, with his current grades, there is absolutely no problem in taking the junior high school exam, you can discuss it in advance to see where he can study in junior high school." By the way, I'll tell you that my task as a teacher is also completed. ”
Xie Chunxiang hurriedly said: "That's not the credit of your teacher Xu? My grandson, if he has a way out in the future, it is indispensable for your teacher Xu's credit." ”
"It's not just my credit. Teacher Xu said, "This child is different from others, he reads very hard, he can memorize almost every article in Chinese class, and although he is not very interested in arithmetic class, he rarely makes mistakes." ”
"That's not the credit of your teacher?" Xie Chunxiang said, "Without your hard work as a teacher, he would have great ability, and he would not have the result he has today." ”
Welcoming Teacher Xu into the house, Xie Chunxiang was busy making a bowl of egg noodles for Teacher Xu, so she had to let Teacher Xu eat before leaving.
When Teacher Xu was leaving, he reminded Xie Chunxiang again, "I'm here to talk about this matter, you have to take it seriously, don't miss the child's future future." ”
Chen Caomin nodded hurriedly, and Xie Chunxiang agreed again and again.
After Teacher Xu left, Xie Chunxiang asked Chen Caomin, "You also heard what Teacher Xu said, and you should worry about your grandson's affairs!"
Chen Caomin thought for a while and said, "Didn't his uncle enter the Lidian Township Factory?" Let him go to Lidian to live and study, if there is anything, his uncle will be there, so it is better to go to the school to have a look." ”
"That's a good idea. Xie Chunxiang said, "It's just that although his uncle also loves him, that cow's temper is not very good, and I'm afraid that Han Sheng will be wronged there." ”
"You're really hard to recuperate!" Chen Caomin said, "If you put it with his uncle, you are still not at ease, and you are afraid that your child will be wronged, so where should you put it? Except for a middle school in Lidian, there is no middle school in other places." ”
Xie Chunxiang thought about it, and then followed Chen Caomin's statement.
After graduating from primary school, Chen Hansheng ushered in his first summer vacation after graduation. He put down his school bag, put down his homework that he would never do again, and played wildly everywhere.
Xie Chunxiang said with a smile, "Don't play crazy with your heart, you will go to middle school next year, it will be difficult to clean up!"
"Where am I going to middle school?" asked Chen Hansheng, a little curious.
"Where else can I be," Xie Chunxiang said, "Lidian! ”
"Lidian?" Chen Hansheng's mind appeared in the scene where Uncle Xi once took him to see the water crossing, and said, "Is it the place where there is a water crossing?"
"Exactly!" said the grandmother, "what? Do you remember looking at the aqueduct?"
"Of course I remember!" Chen Hansheng said loudly, "There are still people there who are bright, and the bright light in the daytime is stronger than the sun's light! I looked at it a few times that day, and my eyes still hurt when I sleep at night, I don't know what's going on!"
"You have a good memory!" said the grandmother with a smile, "but don't wait until you are an adult, and you won't even remember how your grandmother loved you." ”
"Of course I'll remember!" Chen Hansheng said, "When I grow up, I still want to buy meat for you to eat!"
"Do you have this filial piety!" Xie Chunxiang said, "If you can remember my milk, it can be regarded as if I didn't love you in vain." ”
The next day, Xie Chunxiang haha Chen Huaguo took Chen Hansheng to Lidian School to sign up, and by the way, took Chen Hansheng to Uncle Xi's township factory to have a look. Because of the long distance, Xie Chunxiang couldn't follow, so he had to touch Chen Hansheng's head and said to Chen Hansheng, "You are getting older and older now, and your milk can't take care of you anymore, you have to take care of yourself, don't hurt your body." ”
Xie Chunxiang burst into tears as she spoke.
Chen Hansheng also suddenly felt very uncomfortable leaving his grandmother, and after he left his grandmother step by step, he followed Chen Huaguo step by step and walked towards Lidian Middle School.
After coming to Lidian Middle School, Chen Huaguo found the school's teacher, signed up first, and then asked the school to live in school. Considering that Chen Hansheng was studying from the most remote brigade, the school arranged Chen Hansheng in a dormitory room called Chen Zaomin, and instructed him what he would bring when he officially entered the school.
Chen Huaguo nodded, and then took Chen Hansheng to the township factory in the store to meet his uncle. Uncle Xi is working as a coppersmith in the township factory. But he said that he was a coppersmith, but in fact he also made silverware. Xiao Yan's hundred-year-old collar, men's pipes, women's needles and scissors, household earthen pots, and even repairing broken pots and sprayers, many chores are done.
On the way to Uncle Xi, Chen Hansheng's mind came up with some impressions left by Uncle Xi. After the second uncle went to serve as a soldier, Uncle Xi was in a mood at home. In order to comfort Uncle Xi, Chen Hansheng's grandmother asked a Taihu coppersmith to teach Uncle Xi a craft. Uncle Xi carried a coppersmith's burden and followed the Taihu coppersmith who was guilty of asthma to travel around the countryside. The coppersmith's burden was a bellows at one end, a furnace and an anvil at the other, and a large drill hung on the bellows, the manual kind. Because he was often bitten by dogs, and because the burden was very heavy, Uncle Xi studied for half a year, and then he died and didn't learn. In the end, it was the grandfather who beat Uncle Xi severely, and Uncle Xi had no choice but to continue to learn this craft. I thought that the business was not good and was ready to give up, but I didn't expect to recruit people in the township factory later, so I recruited Uncle Xi to the township factory.
There are not only fine uncles in the township factory, but also many people who do other crafts, and those people are craftsmen, there are craftsmen, blacksmiths, tailors, stonemasons, masons, carpenters, all those who do crafts here. All kinds of craftsmen are doing different things, and they are talking and laughing while doing things, which is very lively.
At that time, Chen Hansheng, who only wanted to study, although he was a little curious about Uncle Xi's factory, he was just curious, and soon put his mind on reading.
After following his father back, the family began to prepare things for Chen Hansheng after officially going to school.
On the day Chen Hansheng officially went to school, Chen Huaguo prepared a pair of burdens for him, one end of the burden was rice, and the other end was a change of clothes and vegetables. Those things were prepared by grandmother Xie Chunxiang with one hand and one foot. In that big flooded vegetable cone, there is also Chen Hansheng's favorite tofu to eat.
Because Chen Hansheng had already been to Lidian Middle School, Chen Huaguo decided to let Chen Hansheng carry his luggage to school, which could be regarded as a fine training for him, a child who was about to enter middle school. Chen Caomin agreed. Although Xie Chunxiang agreed with Chen Huaguo to do this, she still said to Chen Hansheng with tears in her eyes, "My son, you are about to grow into an adult now, and you should be ready to endure some hardships." If you don't endure hardships, it will be difficult to create people!"
Chen Hansheng's tears also followed, he was not afraid of this hardship, but he was really reluctant to take his grandmother with him all the time.
Despite this, Chen Huaguo still obeyed Xie Chunxiang's instructions, carried the burden, and gave Chen Hansheng a ride, until Chen Hansheng was sent to the main road and on the road with those students who went to Lidian School together, and Chen Huaguo returned home.
As soon as Chen Huaguo came back, Xie Chunxiang stared at him and asked, "When did you lose Chen Hansheng?
"Yes!" Chen Huaguo said with a smile, "Mother, if you don't worry, it's good to go with Chen Hansheng tomorrow!"
"You won't go to me?" Xie Chunxiang took it seriously and said angrily, "I was born with these thin feet, not these thin feet, where can't I go?"
Seeing that the mother was emotional, the family simply remained silent.
Xie Chunxiang said while thinking, "This Hansheng has never been far away, he can't get used to living in school, he doesn't want to go home, these will not affect his study, and I can't rest assured." ”
"Don't worry. Chen Huaguo said, "I go to see him when I have time, and his uncle is also there, so I will go to the school to see him when I have time." ”
"Luckily, he has a little uncle over there. Xie Chunxiang said, "If I don't have an uncle, I won't be at ease." ”
"You!" Chen Caomin said, "It's too unreasonable to love your grandson!" When you go to school, you don't feel at ease, you don't worry, and you still talk about it with tears in your eyes all day long, loving your grandson like this, I'm afraid that it will hurt your child in the future!"
"Who said it would hurt his grandson!" Xie Chunxiang said, "My love is love, but not delicate, when it is time to let him endure hardship, I still want to let him learn to endure hardship, when it is time to teach him to be a man, I still have to teach him how to be a man!"
Xie Chunxiang said this, and it was not easy for everyone to say anything.
When he was sleeping at night, Xie Chunxiang saw Chen Hansheng in a dream. She saw Chen Hansheng playing hopscotch in school, jumping and jumping, suddenly jumped down and broke a foot, Xie Chunxiang was so anxious that he screamed loudly, waking up Chen Huaguo next door.
The next morning, Xie Chunxiang told the dream he had for everyone to hear. Everyone listened to it, but it was just a gossip and didn't take it to heart. Xie Chunxiang was anxious and said, "Why shouldn't you say anything about what I said? I'm afraid that something like this is really going to happen! Huaguo, hurry up and follow me to the school to have a look!"
Chen Huaguo knew that his mother loved her grandson, so he had to go to Lidian Middle School as ordered.
When it was dark, Chen Huaguo came back from school, and Xie Chunxiang asked Chen Huaguo as soon as he saw it, "Did you see Chen Hansheng?" Did he really fall and hurt his foot?"
"What's the matter?" Chen Huaguo said, "He's doing very well at school! When I went to school, I saw him messing around with some of his classmates!"
"Could it be that my dream is an anti-dream?" Xie Chunxiang smiled heartily, and couldn't help but sigh, "This conscienceless thing, I think of him at home and cry, he is good, as soon as he enters school, he goes crazy and plays, and forgets my milk aside! I really love him for nothing!"
