I went to the ground during the day, caught a turtle at night, and occasionally had to be free, so I took out the book on my waist to take a look, compared with "King Lear" and "Les Miserables", Li Guiju's "Lord of the Flies" was relatively new, Shen Tiejun was very surprised by some words in the book, but thinking about the things in the overhead world, I suddenly felt that it was a matter of course.

The day is slowly getting hotter, every day Shen Daliang honestly goes to work, Shen Tiejun is lazy under the banner of the exam, and when he is sleepy, he finds a shade to sleep, and there is a little comfort in the days of poverty, watching the sun go down, it is time to call it a day and go home.

The sun rises, the sun sets, when there is no electricity, there is not much entertainment that everyone can do, and caught the turtle in the woods at the head of the village, Shen Tiejun saw a pillar of light swept from a distance, and those who can afford to use a flashlight at night are not the educated youths of the educated youth, or the village party secretary.

"Tiejun, is Shen Tiejun here?"

Shen Guangshan's voice was a little hoarse, and asked Shen Weixing to take Shen Yuyun home, and Shen Tiejun greeted him: "Branch secretary, are you looking for me?"

Carrying a flashlight in his hand, Shen Guangshan swept the person next to him: "Tiejun, it's not me looking for you, it's this comrade looking for you." ”

In the dark night, the light pillar of the flashlight flashed on the person who came, and Shen Tiejun saw the person in front of him clearly, and his face was full of surprise: "Brother Wang?"

"Hehe, Tiejun, I thought you didn't come back. ”

Seeing that he was still so enthusiastic, Wang Meng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after speaking, he turned to Shen Guangshan and said, "Branch Secretary, thank you, I'll talk to Tie Jun!"

"Okay, you say, then I'll go back first. Shen Guangshan's flashlight shook and turned to leave.

Seeing the pillar of light go away, Shen Tiejun quietly waited for Wang Meng to speak, and was silent for a while, and said, "Brother Wang, it's so late, you still ran over in person, is there something?"

"Hehe, you said that it was so late, it's a little. ”

Wang Meng opened his mouth, his voice low: "Didn't I say before that the secretary's daughter also took the college entrance examination, but she didn't take the exam, and the last time she took the exam in advance, she didn't take it to heart." Isn't this secretary going to the archives office today to inspect the work, and I heard from them that you have been admitted to graduate school and are waiting for the notice at home. At that time, my brother thought, anyway, you are idle and idle, it is better to make up for Mao Lin, I haven't told the secretary about this, so I thought I would come over and ask you what you mean. ”

"Shifting gears so soon?"

Shen Tiejun was a little surprised, the 1978 graduate school enrollment was the same as the university admission, it was in early September, and now there are 10 days left before the 78 college entrance examination, but he didn't expect Yangwai to send a file adjustment letter, and then remembered another thing: "Zhongyuan University returned the file?"

After asking, he found that Wang Meng was silent, Shen Tiejun patted his head, and asked him if he was asking Yu Blind, Zhongyuan University should not have seen himself go to report, so he returned it, and said: "I haven't tutored anyone, I'm afraid of misleading people's children, it's a good thing to do a good job, but Mao Lin pushed the responsibility of failing the exam to you and me, I don't care, Brother Wang, you have to think about it." ”

Mao Limin in the eight years of Tianh County's administration, more than the upper than the bottom, before the rumors were not determined, he would rather be hungry than be the first to stretch out chopsticks, the picture is a stable word, can not get out of the head and can not suffer, and finally transferred around, retired in the position of the head of the armed forces department of the Enron Commission.

From the position of the number one to that point, Shen Tiejun did not have a good impression of this parent official, and when he saw Wang Meng silent, he knew that he retreated: "Brother Wang, go back and think about it, if you think about it, come to me." ”

"Okay, then brother will go back and think about it, thank you. Wang Meng said and turned to leave, and disappeared into the night.

Pouting, Shen Tiejun walked home, the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked, what he said is very reasonable.

Wang Meng's idea is good, Mao Lin is admitted to university, and the secretary will naturally remember him well, but what if Mao Lin puts the responsibility for failing the exam on him?

Shen Tiejun is going to leave Tianh County to go to school, so Wang Meng, as Mao Limin's secretary, has no place to hide if he wants to, delaying the future of the secretary's daughter, and no one can afford this crime.

Wang Meng's character is the embodiment of Maorimin's character, and after two days, seeing that he didn't come to the door, Shen Tiejun knew that his suggestion was adopted by others, and he continued to be at ease before he thought about victory.

The college entrance examination in 1978 ended in a steamer-like high temperature, and Shenjiawa Village ushered in the great heat.

Seeing Shen Tielin again, Shen Wang only cared about wiping the tears on his face, Shen Laoshi held the cigarette pot and nodded incessantly, and Shen Yuyun walked into the hall with short legs and took a plate of turtles: "Fifth sister, fifth sister, this is what my mother left for you." ”

"Thank you, Xiao Qi!"

The previous noisy appearance was gone, Shen Tielin's dark face turned a little whiter, and his eyes also changed significantly, he took the Zhili turtle in Xiao Qi's hand, put it in his mouth and looked at Shen Laoshi: "Dad, I'm here to help, and there are more folds on your face." ”

"There are so many people in the family, what else do you need to help? Quick, drink water in the house, when will you go back to class?"

Shen was honest and not good at expressing his feelings, so he said stiffly, lowering his head and fiddling with the smoke pot.

"Xiao Wu has just come back, school will start at the end of August, right?"

Shen Tiejun answered, Shen Tielin's eyes were full of curiosity: "Fourth brother, I heard that you were admitted to graduate school, but my classmates didn't believe it, saying that a 16-year-old graduate student, if it is true, then it will definitely be reported in the newspaper." What the hell is going on with your studies?"

"It's not going on, if you look at the report that you were admitted to university last year, you can also think of what happened. Shen Tiejun explained two sentences.

Summer vacation, at this time it is inconvenient to travel, Shen Tielin is relatively close, and he came back after a half-day car, Shen Damei is far away in the imperial capital, and he has already said hello in the letter, saying that he will not come back this year, and he will tutor foreign languages in the English corner.

The plump wheat lowered the ears of wheat and lowered their heads, and the endless fields carried the hopes of countless farmers, wearing hats with their backs to the sky, bending over and dancing sickles.

Shen Laoshi took the lead, Shen Wang followed, Shen Daliang went to the left, Shen Tiejun went to the right, Shen Tielin took Shen Weixing and Shen Yumei to beat the cut wheat into piles, and the family fought in their own fields.

The weather forecast says that the rain clouds have arrived, and the vast land, regardless of the size of the figures, are busy in the fields, rushing home to bring home the year's harvest before the rain.

"Oh my God, don't it rain!"

Shen Wang's shout, Shen Tiejun's already sore right wrist trembled, thinking that it was broken, the sharp sickle was raised too high, and his left hand subconsciously clenched into a fist: "Click!"

Maybe the hand was too tired, the sickle couldn't move forward after cutting the finger bone, lost the grip of the right hand, fell to the ground, the finger surface turned up a layer of white flesh, and blood came out in the blink of an eye, Shen Tiejun hurriedly picked up the handkerchief around his neck and wrapped it, only then did he remember that the handkerchief was too dirty, and he couldn't take care of it.

"Dad, mother, I have something to do, let's go first!"

As he spoke, Shen Tiejun's footsteps did not stop, and Shen Tielin, who was bending down to hug the wheat, raised his eyes, saw the red between his fingers, and shouted: "Dad, mother, the fourth brother is injured!"

"What?!"

Shen Laoshi straightened up, didn't want to be too fierce, his eyes were dark, and he barely stood behind and was anxious: "Da Liang, hurry up and take a look, no, Xiao Wu, you don't care, hurry up and go and have a look with Tie Jun, Da Liang, you stay and harvest wheat." ”

Shen Tielin turned around and ran towards the ground, and heard a voice behind him from a distance: "Go home and get the money, in the brown sugar jar in my house." ”

"Shall I take the money first, or should I go to the fourth brother first?"

Shen Tielin thought about it, then turned around and ran towards his home, there are not many places where Shen Tiejun can go, there is an old doctor in the village, if there is no one in his family, it will be to go to the commune.

The old doctor's family was so poor that he didn't even have a gate, Shen Tielin ran home to get the money, and only then did he want to go out and saw a green bicycle from far and near: "Shen Tiejun, is Shen Tiejun at home?"

"I'm not at home, if you have anything, you can give it to me directly, I'm his sister. ”

Shen Tielin closed the door as he spoke, and when he turned around, he saw the postman holding a letter and a notebook: "Congratulations to your Tiejun, you were finally admitted to the university this time." Well, here is the signature book, this letter needs to be signed. ”

"University?!"

Shen Tielin glanced at the wide envelope, which was half the size of a file bag, and the words of the Chinese Academy outside Yangcheng were impressively printed on it, and he took the pen with a face full of ecstasy, and quickly signed on the signature column: "The university is right, but my brother is admitted to graduate school, listening to him, it seems that there are only 10,000 in the country!"

After signing and picking up the letter, Shen Tielin ran out a few steps and stopped, and said, "Thank you!"

"What, a graduate student, a graduate student from your brother's exam?"

The postman's face was full of surprise, watching people run away, and hurriedly boarded the car, and quickly caught up at the entrance of the village, with a face full of surprise: "Really, your brother has been admitted to graduate school? I remember, he seems to be only a teenager, right?"

Shen Tielin looked at the bicycle, stopped and panted: "Really, just right, do you want to go back to the commune? I'm going to the commune!"

"Get in the car, no problem, what's the matter, you have something urgent to go to the commune?"

The postman's face was full of weather, and he watched Shen Tielin sit on tiptoe in the back, and quickly kicked his feet: "Then your brother is really amazing, graduate student, I heard from people in the bureau that there seems to be only one person in our county who was admitted to graduate school, is it really your brother?"
