Two years later.

A notice was posted at the entrance of Nancheng Elementary School, the presumptive content was due to the decrease in the number of students, in response to a certain document, after research, it was decided that the students in the fifth and sixth grades must go to the town's primary school, that is, to study at the Beicheng Primary School.

Before this, I heard that there was a rule, that is, there is a hurdle to move from the fourth grade to the fifth grade, that is, you must pass the assessment.

But for Xiao Mu, it doesn't matter, because his grades have always been among the best in the class.

The most important thing for Xiao Mu is the problem of funds, studying in Beicheng means that you have to pay for your own meals, including ordering in the morning and evening.

Of course, at that time, there was already a canteen, so you didn't have to bring pots and pans like Vang Vieng did, and you had to bring your own food and vegetables.

Now his main thing to do is to bring enough money to go, and some things in life can be used in school.

And in the past two years, Guo Yang has also transferred schools.

Principal Guo was transferred to teach in another school, and Mr. Guo's family did not have any land in Nancheng, and the school lived before, so the family only moved away with Mr. Guo.

At that time, rural teachers were always like this, without a fixed place of residence, or uprooted.

Only Xu Hui is left with Xiao Mu, but one day in the near future, Xu Hui will transfer back, it is unknown.

"Xu Hui, will you transfer to the city like you did at the beginning?"

"Probably not, I don't know, I have to look at my parents. ”

Xiao Mu was a little worried, Guo Yang had already left him, and now he was a little worried that Xu Hui would also leave, if so, he really had no friends.

Now Xiao Mu's heart can be said to be extremely entangled.

On the one hand, I am looking forward to going to school in Beicheng, and on the other hand, I am worried that I will not have friends with me.

Although there are students in Beicheng who are in the upper grades of Tongzhai, Xiao Mu usually has less contact with them, or basically no contact, so he still feels a little lonely.

"Hey, Xu Hui, do you think Beicheng Primary School will not be like our current school, which is only one grade and one class?"

"It's unlikely, after all, we've all been there, and there will be a lot more than here. ”

"Oh, then we live in a school, will it be a tiled house?"

"Probably not, such a big school. ”

In fact, Xu Hui didn't know, and he hadn't been to Beicheng Primary School.

Could it be that the school there is a high-rise bungalow? Will the students live in a much better place than here? Xiao Mu began to think about it.

And Teacher Xiaobai was talking about the last class on the podium, very attentive and hardworking.

The atmosphere in the classroom was very gloomy, and perhaps the students were not so comfortable.

Four years have passed in a flash, and classmates have grown up watching each other.

Teacher Xiaobai politely told everyone to study hard and take care of themselves wherever they go.

A simple graduation is such a heavy heart.

After class. Teacher Xiaobai summoned all the students to take graduation photos.

There is no professional photographer, it was taken by Mr. Xiaobai himself.

Then he dragged other teachers to take a group photo with Teacher Xiaobai.

After taking the photo, Xiao Mu didn't say goodbye to anyone, but ran back to the house directly.

Finally, I can take a break for a few months, and I don't have winter vacation homework, so I can play as much as I want.

As everyone knows, what awaits him is a large meal of unfinished farm work and endless cattle.

……

At this time, Zhang Laohan had already begun to smoke openly, because he had completely recovered.

He just doesn't smoke cigarettes, only smokes dry tobacco that he grows.

It is said that it is because cigarettes are more likely to cause a resurgence of tuberculosis than dry tobacco, but it is not known whether this is the case, and no one has studied it.

"Xiao Mu, I'm graduating from the fourth grade now, what do you say, do you want to continue or not?"

Xiao Mu didn't understand why Zhang Laohan asked this, but at this time, Xiao Mu didn't think about giving up school anymore, but thought about finishing school.

But when Zhang Laohan asked him this, he began to wonder if he didn't let himself go to school.

"Come on, why don't you go up, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just asking you. ”

Zhang Laohan replied expressionlessly, there must be something wrong with this.

Xiao Mu's longing for Beicheng Primary School came up again, so he asked curiously: "By the way, grandpa, is Beicheng Primary School good?"

As the only largest primary school in the township, it is naturally much better than Nancheng, so Zhang Laohan said with a smile: "You stupid boy, the school in the township can be compared to the village." ”

That's good, but I know where it's good.

But in what they call good, they almost all say that the environment is good or bad, not the good or bad of teaching.

Almost none of them care about the quality of teaching or anything, and the most they say is to let their children study well, and they don't think about other factors except this.

This may be because of the inheritance of the elders, and it seems that blindly reading is the only way out.

"Then it's okay if I take rice from home to school and bring money?"

Zhang Laohan frowned, the grain harvest in his family was not very good, if Xiao Mu was allowed to take the food to school again, he would not be hungry.

"Oops~" sighed for a long, long breath, "Let's talk about it, it's too early to leave school anyway." ”

It's too early to leave school!

Zhang Laohan is always like this, everything will only be said and planned at the moment when he is about to speak, which directly led to Xiao Mu later developing the habit of procrastination.

Xiao Mu was a little frustrated, wondering if this old man didn't want to let him go to school.

So much so that Xiao Mu's mood was not very good throughout the holiday.

One day, on the way out to work, I met Xu Hui, Xu Hui said:

"Xiao Mu, I can go to school in Beicheng with you, my parents said that I want to continue to go to school here without going back to the city. ”

When Xu Hui said this, Xu Hui's face was full of smiles, and Xiao Mu was also very excited at first.

But after a while, the smile disappeared.

"What's the matter, isn't that bad?"

Xiao Mu shook his head, "It's good, but I'm not sure if I can continue to go to school, because my grandfather didn't tell me clearly." ”

Xu Hui was stunned for a while, patted Xiao Mu on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, it's okay, your grandfather will definitely let you go to school, after all, it's only a few grades, otherwise the previous school will be in vain." ”

"Hmm," Xiao Mu nodded slightly.

That being said, but this matter is in Xiao Mu's house, not someone else's house, if it is in someone else's house, there will be no such problem.

But Xiao Mu's family is different, everyone else is the baby of their parents, but Xiao Mu is not, Xiao Mu is just a dispensable child who will be abandoned at any time.
