Chapter 143: I Must Go to School (5th Watch)
In the blink of an eye, in September, the primary school of Fanxing Commune officially resumed classes.
Early in the morning, the old lady boiled two eggs for her daughter, plus a twist flower.
Yuan Si must not be able to eat enough of these things, and after eating one twist flower, she wanted to take another one, but the old lady slapped her hand off.
"Mother, what are you doing, I haven't eaten yet. Yuan Si frowned.
"I know you haven't eaten enough, but isn't today special, it's the first day of school, we have to get a good luck, and after eating these, we can score 100 points every time." The old lady still insisted on putting away the other twist flowers, "The girl is obedient, just bear with it a little in the morning, and when you come back in the afternoon, my mother is making food for you." ”
Yuan Si looked at the feudal superstitious old lady speechlessly, she was hungry on the first day of school, and she was hungry for another day, which made her enthusiasm for going to school drop again.
Fanxing Commune is not far from Lijia Village, and it takes about 40 minutes for a primary school student like Yuan Si to walk, so he can't go home to eat at noon, so he can only bring some food to school with a lunch box at home to eat, or bring a nest cake or something to deal with.
Before Yuan Si could continue to protest, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
"Go and open the door, I guess it's Fangping's girl who came to go to school with you. Hurry up, or you're going to be late. The old lady put away the dishes and chopsticks, and asked the girl to get off the table and open the door.
Yuan Si reluctantly went to open the door, and it was Li Fangping with a smirk on her face outside.
"Sister-in-law, have you finished eating, let's go to school?" Sister-in-law, do you think my schoolbag looks good?" The little girl twisted her body and leaked out the big flower cloth bag behind her.
"Good-looking, yours is the best-looking. With the quilt in the same color, she really doesn't know where it looks good, "You wait, I'll carry the school bag." Yuan Si praised again with an expressionless face, this was the one hundred and fifty-eighth time Li Fangping asked her if she was good-looking, and it was also the one hundred and fifty-eighth time she answered that it was good-looking.
She threw down the stinky little girl at the door, went into the house by herself, and picked up the army-green canvas schoolbag that the old lady had prepared for her on the table.
"Mother, let's go. "Walk into the yard and say hello to the old lady in the kitchen.
"Hey, be slower on the road, get the money ready, and hurry up to the school to let the teacher know?" The old lady was not at ease, put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran out and instructed again, "Oh, why am I so worried, you better wait for a while, I'll send you to school." ”
"No, it's so close, I can still lose it, why don't I have to find you to run with you, besides, I'm not alone, don't I still have Fangping." Alright, here we go. Yuan Si didn't want to toss the old lady, so she pulled the stinky Li Fangping at the door and ran away quickly.
The old lady couldn't catch up with her behind, so she could only stand at the gate of the courtyard and shout: "If you lose it, you will lose it, but don't throw away the tuition fees for me, or go home and discount your legs." ”
"Got it, dear mother. Yuan Si's voice came back from afar.
"Hmph, this girl, my wife can't cure you. The old lady saw that her daughter had disappeared, so she turned around and went back to the house.
The old Xiao family in Fuqiang Village.
"Hey, your second brother is really carrying a schoolbag and getting ready to go to school. Zhao Fengfeng's eyes looked at the little uncle in the courtyard next door, and turned around to poke and puff at his own man.
Xiao Fuwu glanced up at the courtyard, and then continued to bow his head and weave his basket, "Hmm." ”
"What are you doing, he's a big kid, where can he get those old tuition?" Zhao Fengfeng was very suspicious, "Did you say that your mother secretly gave it to him behind her back?" She had to suspect that a child who was only eleven years old had difficulty eating by himself, and he actually had the money to go to school, who would believe that no one secretly stuffed money. The more Zhao Fengfeng thought about it, the more she felt that it was like that.
"No, the money in your mother's hands is all the money in the palace, and we earned it by working in black and white, I won't say anything about raising your useless brothers and sisters, and now I even give money to the little uncle who went out, and your Xiao family doesn't take me Zhao Fengfeng seriously, your mother must give me an explanation for this." The more Zhao Fengfeng thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he was ready to go out to hold the little uncle who was going to school, if he didn't know where the money came from today, she would be with their old Xiao family.
Xiao Fuwu saw that his daughter-in-law was really going out to make trouble, and he couldn't take care of the unfinished willow basket, so he quickly stood up and grabbed someone, "Why are you going, don't make trouble, it's early in the morning." ”
"Why am I making trouble, if your family doesn't do such a lack of morality, can I make trouble, you let me go, I don't look down on your wretched nest, a man can't let your daughter-in-law suffer so much." Zhao Fengfeng's unreasonable energy came up, and before he went out to quarrel, he scolded his man in the house.
Xiao Fuwu was afraid that his daughter-in-law would really go out to make trouble, and he didn't want the family to make a fuss early in the morning, so he could only coax in a low voice to ensure that the old lady did not give money to the second child behind her back.
Xiao Fuwen, who was outside the courtyard, glanced at the movement in his eldest brother's house, and then locked the door of his house with a lock with his schoolbag on his back expressionlessly, ready to go to school.
"Fuwen, do you really want to go to school?" Xiao's mother was cooking in the kitchen, and when she saw that her second son was really carrying a schoolbag and looking ready to leave, she hurriedly walked out and asked.
"Hmm. Xiao Fuwen didn't even raise his eyelids, and snorted in his nose.
"Where did you get the tuition fees, who did you borrow them?" Xiao's mother's first thought was that the child went out to borrow the tuition fees, thinking that such a little child began to famine, she had a feeling of hatred in her heart, "Why don't you listen to what this child says, how can you go to work when you go to school? How can you earn work if you don't work? What do you get for food if you don't have work?"
Xiao Fuwen didn't speak, and locked the door with a click.
Xiao's mother saw that her son didn't speak, and thought that he had some idea in his heart, so she hurriedly glanced at the eldest son's room, and then lowered her voice and said: "Fuwen, you also know what the situation is in our family, your sister-in-law is not good, it was my mother's fault that I passed you out at the beginning, but my mother has no choice, if our family doesn't have the ten yuan, I don't know how many will starve to death...... Now my mother is sorry that you didn't eat, and your sister-in-law can't let you go home to eat, you ......"
"Auntie, since I have passed out of my family, then I will not go home to eat you even if I starve to death, you can rest assured, as for the money for my schooling, I did go out to borrow it. I borrowed it alone, and I will work slowly to pay it back in the future, so you don't have to worry about it. Xiao Fuwen interrupted his mother's nagging, he had listened to such words for decades, and he was really tired of hearing them.
"Yo, it's really backbone, it's best to do it. Zhao Fengfeng had already finished scolding the man in the house, and as soon as she walked out of the yard, she heard the words of her mother-in-law and brother-in-law, so she couldn't help but stab next to her, "Mother, what time is it, is the meal ready, we still have to go to work after eating." Our family is poor, but unlike some people who still have spare money to go to school, we can't afford to delay a day's work, or we won't be able to eat. ”
Xiao Fuwen didn't even bother with this sister-in-law, and when he heard her start talking, he turned around and walked out of the yard directly.
"Cut, I don't know what you're doing, the day you'll starve to death. ”
