If there is an afterlife (novella) Zhang Baotong

When you have reaped the wheat, you are to plant corn, and when you have reaped the corn, you are to plant wheat again. Rural days are spent in the rotation of the wheat and corn growing seasons. Winter goes to spring, summer is summer and autumn is cool. Xiaole has reached the age of going to school. One day in early September of that year, Li Xiuying not only put on clean new clothes for Li Xiaole, but also changed into clean clothes that she only wore during the New Year, and took her children to school to sign up for school.

The primary school is in a spacious bungalow behind Lincun Village, called Xihou Village Primary School, with four grades and four teachers. One teacher teaches one grade. Teaching the first grade students is a female teacher surnamed Xu, the female teacher is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and she is also very handsome, and she has just been transferred from a nearby country school. Li Xiuying took the child into the first grade teacher's office, and as soon as she saw the young teacher Xu, Li Xiuying said to Li Xiaole, "Bow to the teacher." Li Xiaole bowed respectfully to Mr. Xu. When Teacher Xu saw Li Xiuying coming to sign up with her child, she asked, "Are you Li Xiaole's grandmother?" Li Xiuying immediately replied, "I am his mother." Teacher Xu immediately nodded embarrassedly, and asked Li Xiaole, "Have you ever been to kindergarten?" Li Xiaole shook his head. Then, Mr. Xu asked Li Xiaole a few questions such as "how many is five plus six", "can you read the pinyin alphabet" and "can you write your own name". Li Xiaole just shook his head when he heard this, because he had never been exposed to these issues.

This made Li Xiuying feel very frightened, for fear that the child would be turned away because he could not answer these questions. However, what made her and the child happy was that although the child did not answer a single question, Teacher Xu still registered Li Xiaole. Li Xiuying paid more than 30 yuan to Teacher Xu for books. Teacher Xu gave the child a set of textbooks, and asked Li Xiuying to go back and wrap the schoolbook for the child.

When he returned home, Li Xiaole took out his math and language books and kept flipping through them. Li Xiuying wrapped the book cover for the child, and said to the child, "Obediently, mom has no interest in this life, she can only grow crops and pick up rags, you have to study hard, and in the future, you will be admitted to university, become a big official, and make a lot of money, so that your mother will also be beautiful with you." Listening to his mother's words, Li Xiaole nodded very seriously.

My child is in school, and I have to spend all day with my classmates. Li Xiuying thought that although she was a farmer picking up rags, she didn't want others to look down on her children, so every day before going to school, she cleaned up the children neatly and neatly, making people feel that the children were from a rich family. Li Xiaole himself is white and clean, he is also well-behaved, honest, like a girl, he doesn't like to talk, and he is timid, when he has nothing to do, he always sits in his seat, looks at books, and looks at other classmates.

However, Li Xiaole's academic performance is particularly good. Originally, he was the only one in the class who had never entered kindergarten, and his learning foundation should be regarded as the worst, but he actually got a double hundred in the midterm exam, and he was the only student in the class who got a double hundred. When he took home the certificate issued by the school, Li Xiuying was very happy and posted the certificate in his big house so that others could see it as soon as they entered the house.

At the end of the semester, Li Xiaole's math was a full score, and his Chinese was 98 points. Both assignments were based on the top of the class. The school is going to hold a parent-teacher conference, and Ms. Xu wants Li Xiuying to tell the parents how she cultivates their children's learning. When she heard this, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to enter the school gate.

Once when the child came home from school, Li Xiuying saw that the child's face was dug and bleeding. There were tears in the child's eyes. She asked, "My good girl, what's wrong with you?" But Li Xiaole just lowered his head and didn't speak. Seeing the child like this, Li Xiuying knew that the child must have been bullied by others at school. So, she took the child to the school and found Teacher Xu to ask about the situation. Teacher Xu didn't know about this, so he asked Li Xiuying to leave first and asked Li Xiaole what was going on alone. Li Xiaole didn't want to say it at first, but under the patient guidance of Teacher Xu, it was Yang Duanduan in the class who said that he picked it up from the garbage heap. He couldn't get angry, so he fought with him, and his face was dug by Yang Duanduan.

After Li Xiuying knew about this, she didn't say anything, so she took the child to Wan Daxian's house and asked Wan Daxian to smear some medicine on the child's injured face. Looking at the injury on the child's face, Li Xiuying was so angry that she didn't sleep well all night, she knew that the child was weak, timid and afraid, if she let others bully her, she would become someone's angry bag in the future. She encountered this situation when she was a child, and she was always bullied by her classmates. So, she had to find a way to stop it.

The next morning, she sent her children to school, and then she followed her to school. As soon as she entered the school, she put on a menacing look and asked which student was named Yang Duanduan. Because everyone knows about the fight between Li Xiaole and Yang Duanduan, and they also know that Yang Duanduan dug Li Xiaole's face out. A girl pointed to a little boy with a runny nose on the playground and said, "Grandma, that person is Yang Duanduan." He's bad, and he loves to bully people the most. ”

So, Li Xiuying walked up to the boy and shouted, "Are you Yang Duanduan?" When the boy saw Li Xiaole's mother coming, he was so frightened that he ran away. Li Xiuying chased after him and scolded, "You dog, why did my child provoke you, you bullied him, and dug out his face." Let me catch you and not skin you. Hearing this, Yang Duanduan ran faster.

At this time, Li Xiaole learned that his mother was coming to school, and he was still chasing Yang Duanduan in the playground, so he ran over, grabbed his mother's clothes, and shouted, "Mom, don't chase after you, everyone is watching you." However, Li Xiuying said, "If I don't clean him up, he will bully you next time." As he spoke, he broke free from the child's little hand and continued to chase Yang Duanduan. The playground was full of students, all watching Li Xiuying chasing Yang Duanduan.
