Chapter 82: A Letter from Home
Dad, has your low back pain been relieved? During the time I was not at home, did my eldest brother insist on massaging you every night? Have you ever used the medicinal wine I brewed for you? I asked the old Chinese medicine doctor in the town, Dr. Guo Huai, that the medicinal wine can be used both internally and externally. Every night, when the eldest brother massages you, pour a small amount of medicinal wine and rub it in the palm of your hand, then cover the position of your low back pain and insist on not moving for one minute, and after three consecutive hot covers, then massage with medicinal wine for 15 minutes, the effect will be much better.
Mom, you often have toothaches, and every time you get up, you can't eat or sleep. We see that you are suffering from illness, and our hearts are also very sad. I know that you are anxious about the poverty of our family, and you are anxious about the future of our five siblings. When I came home from my freshman year of high school, you stayed up all night almost every night. Your greatest wish is to train me to be a college student and get out of the deep ravine of my hometown, and you and my father have tried everything to do so, but the conditions at home are really not enough for me to continue studying! Mom, you've suffered all these years!
Big brother, you are twenty-two this year. According to the tradition in our village, you should have started a family a long time ago. In order to let me study, my parents took out the money for your blind date and marriage to pay my tuition, and it was my brother who dragged you down. Big brother, I'm sorry for you! Over the years, you have been working hard and taking on most of the physical work in the family, and you are the pillar of the family. When I leave home, all the burdens are on your shoulders. Big brother, you've worked hard!
Third brother, did you stick to the study plan I set for you before I left home? Although you have no shortcomings in all your courses, you are very slow to enter the state of learning from the first two weeks of each semester to the beginning of school, and this problem cannot continue. Teachers are teaching according to the syllabus, and it is impossible to affect the teaching progress in order to wait for a few of you who are slow to learn. If you don't get into learning quickly, the new knowledge you learned in the first two weeks will be leaky. In the long run, it will be a big problem and will directly affect your learning. I hope you must pay great attention to it and completely get rid of the problem of laziness.
Fourth brother, you are seriously biased in mathematics, and in the final exam of last semester, you got three calculation questions and two application questions wrong in mathematics. The night I left home, I checked your homework, and on the day of the summer vacation, I asked you to redo the wrong questions in the test paper three times, and you only did it once, and why didn't you do it twice? I often tell you that if you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to go all over the world. Mathematics is a very applied basic subject, which must be applied in all aspects of our lives and must be learned well. There is no shortcut to learning math well, only the path of studying hard and doing more practice problems. If you encounter a problem that you don't understand that day, you must understand it, and you can't leave it overnight with the problem. I hope you must persevere.
Fifth sister, you are the youngest of our five siblings, you are the heart of your grandparents and parents, and you are also the pride of our whole family. You have been very smart and clever since you were a child, and you learn everything very quickly. Now you're at the top of your class in your studies and can sing and dance. Whether at home or at school, you are the focal point. My brother wants you to keep it up, study happily, and grow up healthy and healthy. Next year, you will be going to junior high school, and there will be a lot more pressure to study, so you must adjust the main and secondary subjects, as well as the relationship between textbook learning and hobbies, and try to spend more time on textbook study.
After my brother left school, I really felt the importance and joy of learning. It has been 10 days since I arrived in Yunhai City, and what I have learned most is the importance of knowledge and the difference between having technology and not having it. The culture is not high, and there is no technology, so it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch. Those who are literate or tech-savvy are popular and respected wherever they go. I hope that you will definitely grasp the opportunity to learn now, and do not let your future selves regret that you did not cherish the opportunity to learn today.
Grandparents, parents, Lu Yao is most worried about your body, please take care of your health. I know that the whole family is very concerned about my situation outside, so I will introduce you to it.
Ning Hao and I arrived in Yunhai City after a nine-day trip. Very lucky, we found our eldest cousin Wu Jingsheng very smoothly. The eldest cousin was very kind to us, and solved the problem of food and accommodation for us that night, and also solved the work for us.
At present, Ning Hao is working on the airport construction site with his eldest cousin. Ning Hao does small work, and his eldest cousin does big work. Their boss is very kind to people, and my current job was introduced by their boss, and all three of us brothers respect him very much and are grateful to him.
My current job is hoeing in an orchard where lychee trees are grown. The owner of the orchard is a construction worker in the airport project department, and he is very nice to me. The proprietress of the orchard was also very nice to me, she was a very young and beautiful woman, and she was very good. She gave birth to four children, all of whom are all very cute. She's about to have her fifth child, and she's still in charge of more than 300 acres of orchards, which is amazing. She also went to university and was highly educated. She is very relatable, like her own family. She wouldn't let me call her hostess and let me call her by her name. But I really wanted to call her sister, she really cared about my life like a mother, guided me in my work, and encouraged me to study.
I'm having a lot of fun working in the orchard, and I plan to stay here for a long time and learn how to grow fruit trees.
I am also very happy to tell you that the proprietress of the orchard lent me all the textbooks for her high school and college. She encouraged me to study on my own and take the adult college entrance examination when I had the opportunity in the future.
Going to college has always been a dream of mine and a dream of our whole family. I hope that in the near future, even if I can't walk on a college campus, I'll be able to finish college in another way. You say, I met such a kind and caring proprietress, is it our luck?
I've only been working in the orchard for a week, and it may not be paid until the next month, and when I get paid, I'll send it back to you.
By the way, I would like to report to you that my first month's salary was one hundred and eighteen, which is more than three times the salary of our junior high school teacher. If you do a good job in the future, you will have to increase by ten yuan every month, and after a year, your monthly salary will be three hundred. I guess by then, I should be the first person in our village to get a high salary.
