Saying this, Zhao Meifang entered the house, Wen Rou and Ma Feiyang hurriedly stood up, and Wen Rou said without waiting to ask: "Mom, this is my classmate's name Ma Feiyang, who passed by our house today and came to play." Ma Feiyang also bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Auntie!" Zhao Meifang looked Ma Feiyang up and down, Ma Feiyang also saw the gentle mother, the gentle mother is a chubby figure, the face shape is the same as the body shape, the eyes are the same as the face shape, and the head is full of curly hair. I only heard the gentle mother point to the sofa very casually and say, "Well, sit down." After speaking, he also sat opposite Ma Feiyang.

Then there was naturally some interrogation, when he learned that Ma Feiyang was the son of Ma Baoguo in Mawei Village, he couldn't help but let out an "oh", there was no trace of enthusiasm in his body, and he lost a little energy when he spoke.

Gently felt her mother's coldness, and said to her mother with a smile: "Mom, Ma Feiyang is very serious about studying, and his grades are among the best in our class...... Zhao Meifang responded for a long time: "Oh, the grades are good, how is the high school entrance examination this year?" Ma Feiyang hurriedly replied: "This year's high school entrance examination is not bad." ”

Zhao Meifang didn't look at Ma Feiyang and said, "What school did you apply for?" Ma Feiyang replied: "Apply for the county normal examination." Zhao Meifang leaned on the back of the sofa and said very carelessly: "Oh, teacher...... Come out and teach. Then he said coldly: "Can you be admitted?" Zhao Meifang's voice was brittle and full of disdain.

Ma Feiyang was already afraid to touch the eyes that seemed to be staring all the time, his eyes didn't dare to look at the gentle mother, he only felt restless, and there was a trace of anger in his heart, but when he thought of gentleness, he could only "cough... Aunt... cough...".

The gentleness next to her couldn't stand it anymore, and urged her mother to do something else, but her mother still sat there motionless. Ma Feiyang had no choice but to stand up and say in a proper manner: "Auntie...... I...... I... I have something to go back to. After speaking, she walked out of the house, and Zhao Meifang let out a "hmm" from her nose, which was considered to be a response.

Wen Rou hurriedly followed out and asked, "Ma Feiyang, are you going home now?" Ma Feiyang was a little depressed: "Ah, yes...... I went home. Wen Wen was a little embarrassed, walked beside Ma Feiyang and said, "My mother talks like that, don't be angry." Ma Feiyang felt a little better when he saw the gentle explanation, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you go back, I really want to go back." After speaking, he gave a serious look at Gentleness and turned to leave.

Ma Feiyang walked for a while, and his heart seemed to be a little brighter, and he only felt that the farther away from the gentle home, the more relaxed it was. But the gentle mother's style and those words were not left behind, it invaded Ma Feiyang's emotions. Ma Feiyang thought about the gentle mother's figure and the fleshy face, and was very disgusted in his heart, and thought: What is the "street valve" that people often say, but I am afraid that this is what it looks like, thinking about it, he let out a contemptuous laugh. After a while, I was sorry for Gentleness, how could such a good girl have such a mother, could it not be a gentle mother, and then compared Gentleness and this fat woman's face in my mind, the more I compared, the more I felt that something was wrong, as if I could be sure that this must not be a gentle mother, she couldn't give birth to such a good girl. Thinking like this, Ma Feiyang became cheerful. Suddenly, I thought: When will I be able to see Gentleness again this time, Gentle's home can't go again, I don't want to see that old fat woman, hmph, doesn't she doubt that I can be admitted to the normal school, and when I get the notice, I'll come back at that time. Thinking of this, Ma Feiyang began to review the exam questions again, calculating the scores, feeling that there was no problem, and he was much calmer in his heart.

When Ma Feiyang got home, he found that he had forgotten something, and he originally planned to go to Gentle's house first, and then go to the bookstore that Zhang Cambridge said, but who knew that he was so disturbed by Gentle's mother that he completely forgot about it. This deepened Ma Feiyang's disgust for his gentle mother, Ma Feiyang sat on the chair and rested for a while, calmed down, took out a pen and paper and began to practice calligraphy.

Usually in the class, I have to talk about the neatness of the homework, Ma Feiyang's homework is also ranked high, Ma Feiyang himself is also very satisfied with the words he writes, but in the past two days of practicing hard pen calligraphy, I know that in the past, it can only be called writing, and it is not next to calligraphy in the real sense. Now that he has been practicing in regular script, he knows that Chinese characters are composed of strokes, and the strokes are mostly horizontal and vertical, so it is important to start with horizontal and vertical strokes when practicing regular script. The day before yesterday he wrote a night full of two pieces of paper "one" word, hands tired and sore, thinking: before this day to do so much homework every day hand is not sore, why this is only practiced two pieces of paper on the sour can't, it seems that writing is also a kung fu, since it is kung fu, then you have to spend time to practice.

Ma Feiyang still wrote "one", wrote a "one", and began to write "丨" again, he felt that today's writing was better than the previous two days, and he couldn't help but feel very good, completely forgetting the unhappiness in the gentle house.

In the afternoon, Wang Chuang came, still holding two martial arts novels, Wang Chuang said to Ma Feiyang: "He has been keeping books in his hands for the past two days, and he has finally finished reading them, so I'm going to send them to you in a hurry." Ma Feiyang was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Chuang and said, "Oh, thank you so much, this is really a charcoal in the snow." ”

Wang Chuang said: "What is this, you hurry up and read it, there are still two copies in Daqing, I will go over tomorrow to get them, and I will send them to you after reading." Ma Feiyang smiled: "Wang Chuang, you are simply a living Lei Feng, I want to learn from you." Wang Chuang pursed his lips: "You come to Hazi and I, I have worked martial arts novels, and it is useless, you see that you have not delayed anything, you are still amazing." ”

Wang Chuang looked at the paper on the table and shouted, "Yo, you are practicing again." Ma Feiyang smiled: "It's okay to practice and play." Wang Chuang sat down and wrote on the notebook, put down the pen as soon as he wrote a few, and said with a smile: "Oh, this is too ugly, no, no." As he spoke, he got up and said that the river boat had already left with the car, and his family's boat would arrive home in five or six days, and he was about to get on the boat and leave, and Liu Yu also immediately went to a big hotel in the county town to recognize the master. He sighed as he spoke.

Ma Feiyang felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, everyone was still talking and laughing in a dormitory last month, and it was all at once. Thinking that they are very envious of themselves, I originally thought it was quite amazing, but the gentle mother didn't care, what if I was admitted to the normal school, would the gentle mother be kind and happy, it seems that it won't, thinking like this, I didn't say anything for a while. After sitting for a while, Wang Chuang said that he was going home, and he said that he would leave.

The results of the high school entrance examination came down, Ma Feiyang lived up to expectations and was admitted to the county normal school, Zhang Cambridge was admitted to the provincial key middle school Chuxi Middle School, and the results of Wen Rou and Zhao Shumei could go to the ordinary high school in the county.

Ma Feiyang got the admission letter from the normal school, held it in his hand and read it three or four times, he was really excited, he didn't see Zhang Cambridge come to get the admission letter, it is estimated that Zhang Cambridge's father took it. Ma Feiyang waited for a while, did not see Zhang Cambridge nor saw gentleness, although disappointed but no longer waited, rode a bicycle and galloped all the way home, seven or eight miles away in an instant.

My sister saw Ma Feiyang riding like a fly at the door, jumped off the car at the door of the house, tied the car with a "pop", strode into the house, and knew that she must have been admitted, and couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly followed Ma Feiyang into the house. Dad Ma Baoguo looked at the admission notice and grinned and said, "Okay, good, I really got in..." At this time, the neighbors also came over, some congratulated Ma Baoguo and said that the ancestral tomb of your family was smoking, and some praised Ma Feiyang and was smart since childhood.

Next, Ma Feiyang went to Zhou Daqing's house again, and Zhou Daqing was still fine at home to read martial arts novels. Speaking of Zhao Tiantian who was also admitted to an ordinary high school, Zhou Daqing sighed: "It's over, so be it." Ma Feiyang said: "Daqing, or you will go to vocational middle school like Wang Jianwu, the diploma of vocational middle school is also considered a high Chinese certificate, I heard that you will also need a high school graduation certificate to become a soldier in the future." He smiled again: "Besides, when you go to school in the county, can't you get close to Zhao Tiantian again?"

Zhou Daqing said: "What major do you study in vocational middle school, close to Zhao Tiantian... Zhao Tiantian went to high school to prepare for the university entrance examination, and I can't delay her. Ma Feiyang smiled: "This shows that you are serious about Zhao Tiantian, otherwise you would not think so much about Zhao Tiantian." Zhou Daqing smiled and did not deny it.

Then chatted about Liu Yu and Wang Chuang, Zhou Daqing said that Wang Chuang had already gotten on the boat and left, Ma Feiyang heard that this one also learned to drive away, and that one also got on the boat and left, so he couldn't help but be silent, and suddenly remembered that Wang Chuang's book had not been given to him, so he said to Daqing: "Wang Chuang said that he would send me a book before leaving, why did he leave all at once!"

Zhou Daqing said: "Oh, the book is still with me, he hasn't had time to get it yet, this time his ship will come back quickly." Ma Feiyang said: "I don't know how to get on the boat, it's not fun." Zhou Daqing said: "Haven't you heard that there are three kinds of bitterness in the world, striking iron makes the ship grind tofu." ”

Ma Feiyang said: "But the ship can suffer money." When he said this, he didn't know whether he was comforting himself or Wang Chuang. Zhou Daqing shook his head with a smile and said: "Bitter money, it depends on the market, if the market is good, you can suffer a lot of money, if the market is not good, maybe you have to post money, the most important thing is that all the money that comes hard cannot fall, such as burning oil, maintenance, and passing through the gate...... , especially in this gate, sometimes there are many boats that pass through the gate, and if you want to go early, you have to find someone to spend money on gifts...... In some cases, there are fines for water inspections...... Ay...... It's not easy. Ma Feiyang usually focuses on studying and rarely talks about these things with Wang Chuang, but now when he listens to Zhou Daqing, he knows that there are so many ways to make the ship.

While the two were talking, Zhou Daqing's father and mother came back, and Ma Feiyang hurriedly stood up and saluted and said, "Uncle Zhou is good, Auntie is good." Zhou Daqing's father immediately smiled and said, "Okay, good, Feiyang, sit down." ”

Zhou Daqing's father is a regular worker at the county fertilizer factory, and he wears work clothes when he goes to work, and he is still neatly dressed after work, and his hair and leather shoes are also clean. Zhou Daqing's father also sat down, and as soon as he sat down, he said Daqing: "Daqing watermelon, this flying is coming, why don't you kill a watermelon, hurry, go and get the watermelon." Daqing's "ah-oh" sounded, and he went to move the watermelon, and Daqing's mother hurriedly stopped: "I'll come, Feiyang is here, you can sit with Feiyang." After that, he took the watermelon to the yard and scooped it with water to rinse.

Daqing's mother usually grows vegetables at home, vegetables and fruits can not be eaten to the market to sell, because there are formal staff at home, so there is no hurry to sell how much, the main thing at home is that she is busy, Daqing's father wants to do she still not allow, said you just go to a good class, these jobs are you do.

Daqing's mother brought the watermelon and cut it with a knife, Daqing's father looked at it and said: "Yes, good melon, good melon, come and eat it quickly." After speaking, he took the initiative to send a piece to Ma Feiyang. Ma Feiyang hurriedly took it and thanked him. Daqing's father asked while eating: "Feiyang heard that you were admitted to the county normal school?" Ma Feiyang said: "Yes, the notice has just been obtained." ”

Daqing's father praised him: "Okay, good, you see how serious people Feiyang is in studying, and now he has been admitted." Daqing's mother said: "Feiyang has had good grades since he was a child, and he will definitely be able to be admitted, and people are the material for reading." Ma Feiyang was embarrassed when he heard it, Daqing's father looked at Daqing and said: "This Daqing is far away, I usually don't learn when I call it, I read a martial arts novel all day long, you say what's the use of this, I play with Feiyang all day long, and there is no progress..."

Daqing didn't care about eating watermelon and said, "I'm going to work." Daqing's father turned his head and said to Ma Feiyang: "Hey, I've been obsessed with part-time work in the past two days, I told him that it's not good, Feiyang, you also persuade him, the outside work is not easy to play, besides, what kind of work can he do at this age, he will be tired after two days, just looking at this head, in fact, it is still far away." ”

Zhou Daqing was unconvinced and said: "The Baojun in front is not much older than me, so isn't he working in Guangzhou now." Daqing's mother said: "Oh, where are you looking, a little bigger, besides, Baojun is going to his second master, what is there to have his second master, who are you going to work with." ”

Zhou Daqing raised his head and said: "I'll go to find my third brother, isn't my third brother in a company in Shenzhen, I heard that he is now the workshop director." Daqing's father persuaded again: "Your third brother didn't do any workshop director, just a squad leader, but his team is relatively large, there are more people, he has just been there for less than two years, and he is not mixed up. As he spoke, he watched Ma Feiyang.

Ma Feiyang immediately said: "Yes, Daqing, you are right to listen to Uncle Zhou, go to school first, no matter how to get a high school diploma, it is better than a junior high school diploma." Daqing's mother immediately agreed: "Look at what Feiyang said, Daqing, you have to study hard with Feiyang." Daqing was still a little unconvinced and said: "If you go out early, you can see the world early." ”

Daqing's father patted his thigh and smiled: "Oh, I've seen the world earlier, I'll wait for you to do big things." Then he said: "I don't ask you to do anything, you just go to school for two years in peace, don't fight and don't make trouble!" Daqing said: "Fight, I won't fight." Ma Feiyang also echoed and said: "Yes, yes, Daqing is indeed not fighting now." ”

Daqing's father saw that the time was already available for dinner, and hurriedly arranged for dinner, Ma Feiyang wanted to leave, and he couldn't stand the family's retention so he had to stay and eat.

Ma Feiyang went home and practiced hard pen writing for a while, he has now entered the next stage, writing directly on the post, Ma Feiyang set himself a goal of no less than 1,000 words a day. After writing a thousand words, he felt that there were a few words that he had to practice alone, so he practiced again and came out to drink saliva. I found that I hadn't heard my brother's movement until now, so I asked my sister: "Where is Xiao San'er?" My sister replied: "Since the holiday, he has to play, he goes home to eat and sleep, normally I can't see him, I heard him say that he has learned to drink water now, and he is estimated to go to the river to bathe." Ma Feiyang said with an "oh" sound: "You have to tell him to be careful, don't go to deep water, don't swim if there are fewer people." The sister said: "He knows this, he goes to the bath with a dozen children, and the water they take a bath in is relatively shallow." ”

After a while, my sister said to Ma Feiyang: "Little Er, I have something to do in town, don't leave at home, if I go back late, you will burn the porridge, and the vegetables will be fried when I come home." Ma Feiyang agreed, saying that his sister had launched the bicycle.

Before he went out, Ma Feiyang smiled and said, "Sister, why don't you wear that green dress when you go out, I think you look very good in that dress." My sister also smiled: "It's nothing important, why are you dressed like that." After speaking, he pressed his finger on Ma Feiyang's head and said, "You know what looks good." Then he said: "I'm leaving, you wait for the junior to come home to check if he has done his summer homework, don't run around all day, you are also a brother, and you will be a teacher in the future, you have to take care of the junior." Then he went to the town.

Ma Feiyang lay on his back on the chair without thinking, looking at the roof, remembering that his sister was really hard, and he didn't add a few new clothes in the past two or three years, he should have married and started a family long ago, and someone came to the door in the first year to say that the matchmaker, the other party's conditions were not bad, he was a veteran because his home was far away from Zhouzhuang in a township in the west, so his sister refused, at that time my sister told the matchmaker that she couldn't get married yet, Xiao Er was about to go out to school, Xiao San was still elementary school, Dad was older and his body was obviously not as good as before, if she left, the family would be in chaos, wait for two more years, and when Feiyang worked, she would be able to relax。 Thinking about Ma Feiyang's tears, they were already flowing involuntarily, dripping down his cheeks, and he didn't have to wipe them with his hands, letting the tears flow freely.

Suddenly I thought of gentleness again, the long dress was like a fairy, how quiet and peaceful. Such a good woman should belong to heaven rather than to the world, and she should be carefree when she comes to the world, and she should be matched by a building, a garden, a color TV, and a refrigerator...... But what about the condition of their house, he looked at the cobwebs on the roof, the yard without a floor, and the haystack pigsty at the door. Ma Feiyang's heart sank, he imagined all the discomforts of coming here gently, he didn't dare to imagine. He asked vigorously, and suddenly, he wiped a handful of tears, clenched his fists, and thought that he had been taken by the normal school after all, and a trace of arrogance rose in his heart. As soon as this arrogance rose, the mean face of the gentle mother approached her, blocking all her sight at once, but she couldn't move.

Ma Feiyang remembered the scathing voice of his gentle mother: "Can you be admitted?" Hmph, didn't I get admitted now, Ma Feiyang thought about what her mother would be like if she went to Wenrou's house again, would she greet her with a smile, at least she wouldn't be cold again. Thinking like this, he decided to go to the gentle house again tomorrow.
