Chapter 8: Abandonment of City No. 1 Middle School

"Sister-in-law Aying, are you going back?"

Lu Chaoyi walked away for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw A-Ying's sister-in-law taking a bag and packing up the rest of the seafood.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to sell these savings, so I just took them back to the principal for the principal's grandson to eat. ”

Ah Ying's sister-in-law quickly packed up the rest of the conch and crabs, and Lu Chaoyi didn't sell them anymore and packed up the things. I saw A-Ying's sister-in-law walking briskly towards the principal with a conch and crab, and Lu Chaoyi was also busy following.

"Principal Fu, hello Principal. ”

Sister-in-law A Ying rushed directly to the principal, but fortunately the old principal was not frightened by her.

"You, who are you?" Principal Fu looked at A-Ying's sister-in-law, obviously not recognizing anyone.

"Headmaster, I'm Lin Ying. When I was in junior high school, I was at the same table as your family, Fu Siwen, and I went to your house. My wife even made dumplings for me to eat. ”

Principal Fu and his wife have two sons and two daughters, Fu Siwen is the second daughter of Principal Fu and the youngest daughter. Principal Fu's wife is a northerner and loves dumplings.

"Oh, I remembered. You are Xiaoyingzi. ”

Principal Fu finally remembered.

"Yes, yes, I'm Xiaoyingzi, that's what you used to call me. ”

Sister-in-law A Ying smiled and was very happy.

"You haven't been to my house since you graduated from junior high school, and I heard Siwen remind you to marry in Shigang Village. "Principal Fu still remembers these old things.

"I got married early, and after I got married, my family was busy and I didn't have time to see you. ”

A Ying's sister-in-law looked a little embarrassed on her face.

A-Ying's sister-in-law has been married for more than ten years, and it is very rare for a girl to be able to go to junior high school more than ten years ago, especially A-Ying's sister-in-law's family is also rural. Not all parents are as willing to send their daughters to high school and college as Principal Fu.

Sister-in-law A Ying and Fu Siwen used to be at the same table, and they still had a very good relationship. Later, Fu Siwen went to high school and college to marry in other places, and A-Ying's sister-in-law also married early, and the gap in cultural identity between the two has long been out of contact.

However, Sister-in-law A Ying is a cheerful person, and soon she put it down, and her hearty smile was restored again.

"It's been a long time since the principal has seen you, and you're still strong. ”

"I've been here a lot to buy seafood during this time, but I haven't met you. You've been doing well lately, and your kids should be in junior high school too. Is this your child?"

Principal Fu saw Lu Chaoyi who was following behind Ah Ying's sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law A Ying looked back at Lu Chaoyi, and she dragged Lu Chaoyi over.

"It's not. This is my husband's cousin. Her name is Lu Chaoyi, and in this year's junior high school exam, she took the second place in our city and the first place in the county. Headmaster, do you know her?"

Lu Chaoyi didn't expect Sister-in-law A Ying to say this, she was a little embarrassed, after all, it was the original owner's results, not hers.

Lu Chaoyi was a little uncomfortable and a little weak-hearted, but she was very nervous in the end, and she smiled and greeted the old principal respectfully.

"Hello Headmaster. ”

"Okay, okay, so is Lu. can take the second place in our city, Lu is a good student. Principal Fu looked at Lu Chaoyi, his eyes were very kind, and his attitude was very kind.

"My sister-in-law has always said that you are a good teacher and a good principal, you must be a good person. Lu Chaoyi spoke in the manner of a child, speaking very bluntly.

"Huh...... Your sister-in-law used to be a good little girl......" Principal Fu laughed at Lu Chaoyi's words yesterday, obviously Lu Chaoyi's praise made the old principal happy.

"You guys are also busy, hurry up and get busy, don't delay with me. ”

"Headmaster, take these conches back and cook the soup. ”

Sister-in-law Ah Ying stuffed the conch and crab in her hand into Principal Fu's hand, but Principal Fu was busy refusing to accept it.

"This can't be done, you quickly keep it and sell ......"

"It's not worth a lot of money, just treat it as a student who honors your old age. You can take it. ”

Sister-in-law A Ying pushed back again, dragged Lu Chaoyi and left, Principal Fu shouted in the back to give money, how could Sister-in-law A Ying accept it. Quickly packed up his things, and asked Shang Lu Chaoyi and the two to leave on their bicycles.

"This kid, really. ”

Principal Fu chased two steps, and the aunt and sister-in-law had already ridden away, and Principal Fu was helpless with the bag in his hand.

"Grandma, I'm back. ”

Lu Chaoyi shouted outside the door, and soon followed the footsteps of running, and Lu Chaoyi heard that it must be her younger brother. Soon the door was opened, and Lu Chaoyi saw her brother.

"Sister. ”

The little guy saw Lu Chaoyi have a bright and happy smile on his face, just like a little sun. Although every time he goes out to catch the sea, it takes several hours, even if Lu Chaoyi is physically strong, he will be tired, but every time he goes home and sees his brother's bright smile, listening to Grandma Lu's caring words, Lu Chaoyi feels very warm in his heart.

Such care and warmth from his family is something that Lu Chaoyi has never received in his previous life.

"Grandma, my sister is back. The little one shouted into the house.

"Xiaoyuan, let my sister in first. ”

Brother Lu got out of the way, Lu Chaoyi pushed the car into the door, and saw Grandma Lu coming out of the kitchen.

"I'm back. Are you back so soon? Is the fish sold?"

"Sold. I happened to meet the restaurant owner who came to collect seafood, my fish was big and fresh, and the restaurant owner immediately took a fancy to my fish and bought it directly. It's sold for almost 200 dollars. ”

Lu Chaoyi replied with a smile while untying the things in the car, she was also very happy to sell the fish. Grandma Lu was also very happy to hear it.

"That's good. Breakfast is ready, and stuffed salted fish is made for you, you hurry up to take a bath and eat. ”

"Hey, I'll wash it right away. Grandma, I also bought some pork and pork bones. ”

Lu Chaoyi brought the pork and bones he bought into the kitchen and handed them to Grandma Lu.

"There is no meat on this bone, why are you buying this bone? Grandma Lu looked disgusted when she saw the two pig barrel bones.

"Grandma, I heard people say that this pork bone stew grows taller, Xiaoyuan is growing his body, you stew soup for Xiaoyuan to drink, Xiaoyuan can grow taller in the future. ”

There is a family in a nearby village that specializes in killing pigs, and he will kill pigs every day and take them to the market to sell to nearby villagers. Their pigs are collected from nearby villages, and they are all fed by farmers, not fodder. That pork is much more fragrant than the pork fed by feed twenty years later, and Lu Chaoyi remembered it after eating it once.

"Okay, okay, I'll break this bone stew in a while, you drink it with your little brother, and you will both grow taller. ”

Grandma Lu heard Lu Chaoyi say that it was the benefit of drinking bone broth, so she immediately agreed and asked Lu Chaoyi to drink it together. Grandma Lu is a kind and kind person, and she loves Lu Chaoyi's sisters and brothers very much, unlike some people who prefer sons over daughters. In the past, when her son and daughter-in-law were there, Grandma Lu loved Lu Chaoyi's sisters and brothers very much, but now that her son and daughter-in-law are gone, Grandma Lu regards Lu Chaoyi's sisters and brothers as her life.

"Then thank you grandma in advance. ”

"Thank you, hurry up and take a shower, it's time for breakfast. ”

The family had breakfast, and Lu Chaoyi saw that it was still early, and planned to go fishing at the old pier. Little Brother Lu shouted and followed, and Lu Chaoyi could only take him. Grandma Lu was not at ease, and repeatedly told Lu Chaoyi to be optimistic about her younger brother.

The fishermen on the seaside do not have any farmland to grow food, at most they open one or two acres of sloping land for vegetable plots. There is no farmland, so fishermen beg for food in the sea regardless of the season. Many families in Shigang Village have contracted fishing farms, but Lu Chaoyi does not have a fishing ground.

The fishery was contracted by the public for about ten years, and at that time, Lu's father and Lu's mother had just turned out, and the family had no money to contract the fishing farm.

Grandpa Lu was a soldier who died on the battlefield during the Sino-Vietnamese War. Grandpa Lu rarely goes home because he is a soldier, and Dad Lu is almost brought up by Grandma Lu. After Grandpa Lu died, Grandma Lu became a widow, and Father Lu was only ten years old at the time, and the mother and son depended on each other. The mother and son lived in poverty, and it was not until later that Lu's father and the villagers went out to sea to fish, and the mother and son had a better life.

Later, Lu's father got married and had children, and built a new house, seeing that the days were getting better and better, but he didn't expect that there would be unforeseen circumstances, and he let Grandma Lu, a poor woman, go to her son and daughter-in-law.

Grandma Lu has really suffered for most of her life.

Also because of poverty, Lu's father had no money to contract a fishing farm back then.

It is now the fishing ban period, and everyone in the village is busy in their own fishing grounds, Lu Chaoyi's family has no fishing grounds, and Lu Chaoyi is young, so she can only go to the beach to fish.

The sisters and brothers were lucky, and after two or three hours of fishing, they caught a lot of fish, and although they were not valuable fish and could not be sold for a good price, they were able to stay and eat for themselves.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, Lu Chaoyi loves to eat fish.

Fresh sea fish, whether eaten fresh, salted fish, dried fish or stuffed fish with fish sauce are excellent.

After a busy day, after dinner, he coaxed Brother Lu to study by himself, and Lu Chaoyi went to Grandma Lu to discuss things.

"Grandma, I want to discuss something with you. ”

"What's the matter?" asked Grandma Lu, who was making clothes for Brother Lu, without stopping or looking up.

Lu Chaoyi said directly without hesitation: "Grandma, I don't want to go to the city No. 1 middle school to study......
