"Where have you been lately? When did you come back? I haven't seen you much on a holiday. As soon as I arrived at the classroom, Yu Jiangfeng came over, I haven't seen him for a long time, and my good friends miss it very much.

"I went to the capital and the magic capital, bought you a pair of shoes, and played football together during the holidays!" Chen Yu'an patted him on the shoulder, and bought two pairs of Adi by the way when he was shopping in the magic capital two days ago, just one pair for each of them.

"Interesting, come, come out with me, I have something to tell you. Yu Jiangfeng didn't see much joy on his face, and pulled Chen Yu'an to a secluded place downstairs, "I heard from the family that your father's factory is going to collapse? Is it true or fake? Then won't your father have a job?"

Yu Jiangfeng's concern hung on his face, which made Chen Yuan very moved, "It doesn't matter, this time I met a big boss in Xiangjiang in the magic capital, he is very interested in my father's factory, and he will come to inspect the acquisition after a while, and my father can continue to work in the factory at that time." ”

"Oh, that's good!" Yu Jiangfeng turned his worries into joy, and patted Chen Yu'an on the shoulder hard, "You kid is amazing, you can know the big boss of Xiangjiang! Hey, does he know Brother Haonan and Brother Pheasant? Can you help me get two autographs?"

I know that it's right to ask Brother Pheasant to advertise, you see that even Yu Jiangfeng is his fan, "Brother Haonan is not very familiar, Brother Pheasant happened to be in the magic capital some time ago, I really got a few signed photos, and I will give you back with the sneakers." ”

"What are you going to do when you go back! I'll go to your house to get them after school in a while!" Yu Jiangfeng was probably not so excited about the sneakers, and when he heard that there was a signed photo, he immediately couldn't hold back.

"Okay, as long as you don't show off at school and be confiscated by the teacher. "Brother Pheasant has a bad impression in the hearts of the teachers, and if he is discovered by the teacher, it will be strange if he does not confiscate it.

When they returned home, they found that there were new guests in the house, and my cousin Chen Yulin was sitting in the living room, and there was a large snakeskin bag next to the sofa, which seemed to be the local products they brought from their hometown.

"Brother, you're back. Chen Yulin saw Chen Yu'an and greeted him with a little restraint.

"Uncle, Yu Lin, when did you two come?" Seeing the smile on Uncle Tang's face that couldn't be hidden, Chen Yu'an immediately understood, "Uncle, Yu Lin has been admitted to the county middle school?"

"If you're lucky, you're about 20 points higher than the cut-off score, and that's thanks to the tutoring materials you prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get such a high score. Uncle Tang smiled honestly, turned around and told Chen Yulin, "In a while, you remember to give Brother An two glasses of wine to you, and thank your subordinates." ”

Rural children, there is no underage can not drink, in fact, Chen Yu'an is no exception, during the Chinese New Year, he and his uncle have to eat together, and they have to drink two glasses, but no one advises them to drink; the cousin is not good at words, so he can only use this method to express his gratitude.

"Hey, it's all a family, what are you talking about? Chen Yu'an's father said, "Yu Lin is already angry, it is right to be admitted to the county middle school, and you will come over to play on the weekend when school starts, but don't wait for me to go to school to invite you!" He knew that Chen Yulin's family was not in good economic conditions, and he didn't eat well at school, so he had to use the weekend to help him supplement his nutrition, and chat with him by the way to see if there was anything he needed help.

My father felt that he came out of his hometown village, and since the juniors in the village came to the place where he worked, he had the obligation to help his cousin take care of him, which was a simple emotion from the agrarian society, and had gradually become the object of criticism in later generations.

However, it is undeniable that after his father became a soldier, the family lacked a strong laborer, and it was his cousin's relatives who helped him to plant his land when he was busy with farming; after he came back from the army, he just started to work, and he was not able to take his wife and children to the county seat, and when Chen Yu'an was sick when he was a child, these relatives helped send him to the hospital.

In the process of his struggle from the countryside to the city, the relatives in his hometown have helped him a lot, and now he has a certain ability, and he should help these relatives in the best way he can.

There are outsiders here, Yu Jiangfeng was embarrassed to stay in Chen's house for a long time, went to Chen Yu'an's room to get sneakers, signed photos, and then hurried away; this is the difference between the county town and the countryside, who has relatives in the countryside, neighbors or good relations are very normal to have a few cups of bragging together, in the city, unless you also know guests, otherwise you will never stay.

At this time, my mother also finished the meal, brought it to the dining table and beckoned them to eat, and drank a few glasses of wine, and my father asked my cousin about his intention, "Are you looking for work in the county this time?"

"Two days ago, someone asked me to go to Jinxi to dig coal, and it happened that I was busy with the work in the field recently, so I took the baby with me, so that he could feel how tired he was to do the work, and then he would know how to study hard!" Chen Yulin's high school tuition and living expenses had to be earned back by his cousin's hard work in the mine.

In fact, in Qinshan Middle School, there are more than one or two students who go to the mines and move bricks with their parents during the summer vacation, and it is not so easy for farmers to make money now; even if they do not do such dangerous work, they will use the summer vacation to dig Chinese herbs in the mountains or sell their own fruits in the market for money.

In the classroom just now, Chen Yu'an could clearly see that the complexion of several students in the class was much darker than before the holiday, this was not from playing football on the playground, and because of this, those students studied much harder than ordinary city children, and they all knew that if they couldn't get into college, they could only continue to go to mines and construction sites to work hard.

In the next ten years, it will be easier for farmers to work and make money, and the economic conditions will improve, but due to the collapse of the quality of rural education, the long-term work of parents outside the home, and the fact that grandparents dot on their children too much, it is difficult for rural schools to produce children like them who are willing to study hard and can study hard.

Chen Yu'an and his father didn't say much, so they could only tell the two of them to pay attention to safety, after eating, Chen Yu'an went back to his room directly, found out his first year of high school textbooks and teaching materials and handed them to Chen Yulin, hoping that he could use the summer vacation to start preparing early, and when he officially entered high school, he could keep up with the rhythm.

"Something is going on at school, come to me. Chen Yu'an handed him the book and said, I remember that my cousin didn't seem to be admitted to college, I hope I can succeed this time.
