Year 2000.

Small county town in the southwest: Minglong County.

In a seven-storey red-brick building, there is a family on the fourth floor.

This is a two-bedroom commercial house, and the home is a little simple.

In the living room, the old red fabric sofa, the yellowed dining table, the cement pulp floor, the only thing worth it may be the 18-inch color TV.

At this time, in a small room separated by a wardrobe, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old was holding a copy of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" with a lonely face, slightly stunned, and seemed to be immersed in fantasy without intention.

This big boy, whose name is Shen Que, has just experienced the Black July and finished the college entrance examination.

In primary school and junior high school, Shen Que had first-class grades, gave up the popular secondary school orientation enrollment for more than nine years, and was admitted to the best high school in the county.

However, after high school, Shen Que became obsessed with computer games and was as obsessed with martial arts as ever, so that he failed the college entrance examination.

At this time, Shen Que, who knew that the university was hopeless, held his beloved, but he had no intention of indulging in it, and began to consider his life direction.

Although he has been in a state of confusion for three years, Shen Que's desire to enter the university campus has never been extinguished.

The boy has two major regrets, he can't enlist in the army, and he can't breathe the free air of the college campus.

Since the fifth grade of primary school, Shen Que has often hid in the bed and turned on flashlights, and as a result, he has a high degree of myopia of 600 degrees.

In addition, when he was playful as a child, his left index finger was blown away by a powerful firecracker, and only one finger remained, so enlisting in the army seemed to have become a luxury for Shen Que.

Since it is already a regret in life to not become a soldier, then the free air on the university campus is even more intense for Shen Que.

With this kind of thought, in that era of the budding of private universities, Shen Que, who knew that he had failed in the college entrance examination, began to think secretly.

"The eyes are highly short-sighted, the fingers are mutilated, and it seems that there is no hope of becoming a soldier. The two longing for life are only the free air of the university campus. This college entrance examination is bound to fail, and you have to plan carefully. Shen Que couldn't stop muttering to himself.

"There is no hope for public universities, and it seems that the only way to spend money is to go to private universities. With my mother's doting on me, even if I spend money, my mother will not refuse to come!"

It turned out that in the scorching summer, Shen Que, who was hesitant and dazed, happened to see an advertisement on TV: 800 million funds to move in, build the best private university in Longxi - West Asia College, help the students who failed to make the list, and realize the dream of university.

Thinking about this, a trace of stubbornness flashed in Shen Que's eyes.

So, in a surging mood, Shen Que put down what he was holding, got up and walked outside the house, as if to find his mother.

Shen Que's mother is called Lin Li, a traditional housewife who has been around Shen Que's brothers and sisters all her life.

Once, Lin Li also wanted to have her own business, cold drink machine, sorbet machine, tailor, fruit vendor~~ No matter what kind of small business, she tried hard.

Shen Que's father's name is Shen Tianming, a demobilized soldier who participated in the Vietnam War, won medals, and has a bullet hole the size of a peanut on his calf.

Although the relationship between father and son is not very good, it does not prevent Shen Tianming from having a tall image in Shen Que's mind.

After demobilization, Shen Tianming became a scorching truck driver.

In the 80s, the profession of driver was very desirable.

Shen Tianming has been engaged in the transportation industry for a long time, so there are too many temptations for male apprentices, female apprentices, a large group, and a group of demons dancing wildly.

In that era, Shen Tianming supported the family and created favorable living conditions for Shen Que and his sister Shen Meng.

Therefore, he couldn't resist Shen Tianming's many young and beautiful female apprentices, and he didn't worry that Shen Tianming was working hard outside, so Lin Li gave up his dream of independence and self-improvement and began to follow Shen Tianming in the car.

The reason why Shen Tianming got out of the car was that it was convenient to take care of Shen Tianming, and secondly, to avoid Shen Tianming and the female apprentice from making mistakes, which led to the fragmentation of the family and suffered Shen Que and Shen Meng.

In the year when Shen Que failed the college entrance examination, Shen Tianming had two car accidents in a row, and his family smashed pots and sold iron, and he was destitute.

However, nineteen-year-old Shen Que has been pampered since he was a child, opening his mouth for food and stretching out his hands for clothes, where does he know the hardships of his parents, and he also turns a blind eye to the difficult situation at home.

Walking out of the room, Shen Que inadvertently touched the snow-white wall.

Distraught, Shen Que slammed his fist on the wall.

Suddenly, a faintly visible finger mark appeared on the snow-white wall.

Immediately, Shen Que stopped and drilled his fingers the snow-white wall, as if venting his emotions about failing the college entrance examination.

Suddenly, the white ash on the wall, mixed with the oversized sand and gray, poured down.

Seeing this strange situation, Shen Que couldn't stop cursing in his heart: "These builders who cut corners are so hateful! With such a quality of the house, do they want to repair the house?"

He cursed in a lost voice, Shen Que, who was cowardly outside but couldn't do it at home, slowly walked into the small and simple kitchen.

At this time, Lin Li was in the kitchen filled with oil smoke, frying the brother and sister's favorite "rotten meat noodles" for Shen Que and Shen Mengqing.

Shen Que came to Lin Li's face with confidence, raised his chin, and said stubbornly: "Mom, although the college entrance examination results have not come down yet, I know that my college is hopeless. So, I want to go to a private university in Longxi and realize one of my college dreams, you can do it!"

Lin Li held the spatula in one hand, looked at Shen Que with a stunned, frightened, and guilty expression, and was silent.

Shen Que stared at his mother's haggard face like that, his eyes were full of stubborn light, and his lips were pursed.

Long.

Lin Li sighed lightly, and said gloomily but kindly: "Lack of children, my mother promised you that I will persuade your father to send you to college, even if it is a private university, we must go to it! No matter what the current conditions of the family are, the future of you and Meng'er, your father and I will definitely consider it." ”

Easily got his mother's affirmative reply, Shen Que smiled proudly, like a victorious rooster, and returned to his hut majestically and proudly, without even saying the most basic "thank you, Mom".

After returning to his hut and getting his mother's promise, Shen Que was in a good mood, so he locked himself up again and began to be obsessed with heaven and earth without heart and lungs.

However, what Shen Que didn't know was that after he returned to the room, Lin Li put the dishes in the pot, sighed lightly, and walked out of the house with a frown.
