Chapter 6 It's Time to Read
Lin Zijiao remembered that she knew that the college entrance examination would resume next year, but Zheng Guihua didn't know.
At this time, teenagers either went to work after high school, or became so-called unemployed youth, and there was no such thing as going to college at all.
"But......" Lin Zijiao was in a hurry and couldn't speak, she couldn't say that the country would resume the college entrance examination next year, right? If this is said, it is not just a matter of ghosts.
"What's the matter, don't want to go to work?"
Zheng Guihua's face sank. This little daughter was spoiled by her, she was too lazy to die, she couldn't do any housework at home, and she didn't want to go to work yet.
Zheng Guihua glanced at Lin Zijiao, and listened to the sound of the bottom of the pot as if the pot was about to dry, so she used the towel for washing dishes to pad the edge of the pot and made a gesture: "Come, I'll serve the pot, you add this half of the spade coal." ”
The pot was taken away from the stove, the coal in the stove was burning red, Lin Zijiao poured the coal in the shovel into the stove, and with a bang, a burst of black smoke rose from the stove, Lin Zijiao took the shovel, and Zheng Guihua quickly put the pot on it.
Lin Zijiao put down the spade, Zheng Guihua said in disgust: "Okay, the hands and feet are not sharp at all, the pestle is doing a lot here, take out the spade, and quickly put the table and take the dishes and chopsticks to eat!"
Lin Zijiao swallowed back the words on his lips and went out with a big square-headed shovel.
At the lunch table, there was still no Lin Zishu, and Lin Jiaming and Zheng Guihua, the parents, did not have the slightest abnormality, it seemed that it was normal for their daughter not to eat at home.
Lin Zijiao can already be sure that Lin Zishu must have been agreed by her parents to go out in the middle of the night, or at least acquiesced, but she doesn't know what she is doing when she goes out, why hasn't she come back until noon?
Also, Lin Zijiao suddenly thought of another question: Why is Brother Zilu missing?
Lin Jiaming has a total of three children in his family, the eldest is his son Lin Zilu, the second Lin Zishu, and the third is her who is occupied by her body: Lin Zijin.
But now, there is only one her at the dinner table, Lin Zishu left in the middle of the night and never came back, what about Lin Zilu? Since she woke up last night, she has not seen Lin Zilu.
Lin Jiaming and Zheng Guihua and his wife ate with their heads stuffed and did not speak, the atmosphere at this dinner table was as dull as it was, Lin Zijiao had the heart to ask about Lin Zishu and Lin Zilu, but he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and expose his flaws, so he endured it and endured it, and swallowed his doubts with the meal.
Lin Zijiao was thinking about how to talk about going to school, but Zheng Guihua spoke first: "Old Lin, Zijin wants to continue studying." ”
Lin Jialiang stopped his chopsticks and looked up at Zheng Guihua, and then at Lin Zijiao.
Lin Zijiao took a mouthful of food, and when he heard this, he nodded hurriedly, his eyes hopeful.
I must let her continue to study, she still wants to go to college!
"The opportunity to work collectively is rare, and what is the difference between reading this book and not reading, in case you graduate from high school and miss the recruitment opportunity, you have to be a young man in the pastoral area like your brother. ”
Lin Zijiao's heart moved, the matter of studying was not solved, but Brother Zilu's whereabouts were known. In her previous life, she was only eight years old at this time, and she was worried about eating a full stomach all day long, and it was inconvenient to send transportation and letters, so she didn't know about Brother Zilu being a young man in her previous life.
When she came to her father's house for the first time after graduating from primary school at the age of thirteen, Brother Zilu had already returned to the city and worked in the food department.
She really wanted to ask about Lin Zilu, but she also knew that it was not a good time, so she just muttered in a low voice: "Dad, I want to go to school, I ...... I'm not afraid to go to the countryside. ”
Lin Zijiao knew in his heart that in another two or three years, educated youths would return to the city on a large scale, and there would be no more talk of intellectual youths going to the countryside.
"Why is this woman like your brother with half a brain (local vernacular, referring to the lack of brains), you are so stupid in that pastoral area?" Zheng Guihua was anxious, and said angrily: "Your brother is a boy, he will go, he will not listen to what I say, how can your woman's family suffer that hardship! I don't know how many catties and taels I have, the conditions in the pastoral area, you went to freeze to death in winter, and bit to death in summer! I don't know what to think about in my brain all day......
Lin Zijiao knew that when Zheng Guihua said bitten to death, he did not mean being bitten to death by wolves or large animals, but mosquitoes biting people - mosquitoes on the grassland are so big and numerous that they can really bite people to death.
Lin Zijiao didn't speak, she was really scared of mosquitoes in pastoral areas and forest areas, every time she went to the pastoral area to support the doctor in her previous life, the biggest problem was mosquitoes, what kind of flower water mosquito repellent water insecticide, in front of the extremely dense and huge mosquitoes, there was no use at all.
"If you want to study, you can study, and you will not be left to work alone at home, and you will talk about it when the time comes. ”
Lin Jiaming interrupted Zheng Guihua's nagging, made a conclusion on this matter, picked up the bowl and pulled the last bite of the dish into his mouth, stood up and went out.
Lin Zijiao was overjoyed, raised his head and said loudly, "Thank you, Dad!"
The middle-aged man paused but didn't look back, feeling that his little daughter was a little abnormal. This woman is used to being lazy and greedy by them, and she doesn't like to study, why did she suddenly change her personality and must go to school? What do you say thank you, whose daughter will say thank you to her parents?
Lin Zijiao regretted it as soon as he spoke, the eldest father never talked much to the juniors in his previous life, and their own relatives never said thank you and sorry to each other.
"That's a lot of nonsense!"
Sure enough, Lin Jiaming threw down this sentence and went out, Lin Zijiao giggled happily, and Zheng Guihua looked at her with strange eyes.
After eating, Lin Zijiao hurriedly helped Zheng Guihua clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and rushed to wash the dishes: "Mom, I'll wash it, anyway, if you don't go to school these days, it's okay to stay at home, you go and rest for a while." ”
"Also...... Rest for a while?" Zheng Guihua learned from her to speak, and accentuated the pronunciation of the word rest, looking a little surprised but also very happy: "Just throw a nap (take a nap), say it is so good, then you can wash it." ”
While talking and leaving, Zheng Guihua sighed again in her heart, her little daughter is really sensible.
Lin Zijiao was washing the dishes, and he was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that Zheng Guihua had adapted to her changes, she said the wrong thing just now, Zheng Guihua only learned, and did not think that she was following the ghost again.
Locals call lunch break a nap, and the word rest belongs to the written word, which is only used when writing essays.
Later, Lin Zijiao also spoke the original local vernacular, but later left the countryside to go to the medical college, graduated and went to work in the hospital, dealing with classmates, colleagues and patients, and slowly changed his native accent, speaking Mandarin most of the time.
