Chapter 561: Distance
Do the math, in the more than two years since Jiang Che returned, he and his cousin have only met in a hurry during the Spring Festival in 1993.
At that time, she came to pay New Year's greetings, and Jiang Che was busy pit feng shui master and Zhong Zhen Zhongyin and their grandfather, so she didn't say a word.
Later, I heard about her, such as losing the college entrance examination, mostly from Jiang's mother's mouth.
And Jiang Che's feedback, comfort and encouragement were only relayed by Jiang's mother.
On the spot, Lingchun was still hiding behind Jiang's mother, revealing the white travel shoes that Jiang's mother bought for the Spring Festival the year before last, which were a little old, but they were clean.
She was still dressed plainly, with a distinctly rustic atmosphere that was out of place in this hotel in the city.
But the height has been pulled up, half a head taller than Jiang's mother, and his appearance seems to have grown a little, if he stopped studying like in his previous life and stayed in his hometown, he should be a girl who will be stepped through by the matchmaker.
In that case, she is indeed likely to marry indiscriminately early based on the will of her family.
Uncle's traditional patriarchal thinking is very serious, and he has always not liked and valued this daughter very much, Jiang Che remembers, so Lingchun beat Xiaoai and ran to her aunt's house.
"Brother?" she shouted timidly, like when she was a child.
It's hard to describe this feeling, two people who used to have a very good relationship, one is still a child's mind, thinking that they are all the same, but the other is already very rusty, and he feels like an elder.
So what kind of posture should he say, Jiang Che actually couldn't find a feeling for a while.
In fact, many brothers who used to have a good relationship with their cousins and cousins in this state will actually have it every few years when they grow up, but maybe not as big as Jiang Che.
Jiang Che didn't say anything.
"I'm sorry, brother, you, don't be angry. As my cousin spoke, tears fell from my eyes.
I still remember that when Lingchun failed the college entrance examination, Jiang's mother mentioned it on the phone, Jiang Che even forgot to ask about the results, and only said: "It's okay, the university is already difficult to get into, let her repeat her studies with peace of mind, I have tuition fees and everything, she just works hard." ”
It's completely subjective, and it's not thought too deeply or too carefully.
But for my cousin, it was my brother's concern, encouragement and encouragement, in order to keep my brother's money from being spent in vain, in order to make my brother happy, the girl really tried hard, and the psychological pressure was also very great.
So now, Lingchun is going to drop out of school and stop studying, and the person she is most afraid of is Jiang Che, that's the reason.
"Tsk, Lingchun is calling you, you shouldn't be like this, who are you trying to scare?" Jiang Ma was dissatisfied and said for her niece.
"Nope. Jiang Che hurriedly ended his embarrassment, softened his tone, smiled gently at his cousin, and said, "Why don't you want to read it?"
“…… Because stupid. My cousin blinked and said with tears in her eyes.
The expression is like when Jiang Che was a child fishing for fish with a dustpan, she hung a small bamboo basket on her body and followed the ridge, walking and walking, "poof" fell in the paddy field, and the loach fish ran most of the time, at that time she also apologized for her mistake and said: "I'm sorry, I'm so stupid." ”
And then crying.
In the end, Jiang Che had to coax her and carry her home.
Jiang Che: "......"
"I really work hard, last year I slept at one o'clock, got up at five o'clock, slept at two o'clock this year, and still got up at five o'clock, but I really can't read, no matter how hard I try, I can't pass the test of others......" Stopping and snorting, Lingchun tried to explain: "Last time I was worse than 100 points, and this semester's monthly exam, it is worse than the previous one." I'm sorry, brother, I know you're working hard to make money, and I've wasted your money......"
"This, actually...... It's not too hard. Jiang Che said.
Cousin: "Huh?"
"It's okay, you go on. ”
"Well, yes, I really don't seem to be the material to go to college. In the words of our teacher, thousands of horses crossed the single-plank bridge, but my horse broke down...... Or two. ”
After Lingchun finished speaking, she was afraid that Jiang Che would not believe it, and said: "Physics and mathematics are lame together." ”
But Jiang Che actually believed it, he had seen too many people who couldn't pass the exam if they worked hard, in this era when thousands of troops really crossed the single-plank bridge.
The reason is not necessarily stupid, but the talent is not necessarily right.
In recent years, China's college entrance examination has become more and more comprehensive for students, and if you have two subjects in high school, you really don't have any talent, then no matter how good you are, it will be almost useless.
It's helpless to say, universities are obviously divided by majors, and future employment is also based on professional expertise, but the most common and basic screening logic of the college entrance examination is to see who has fewer shortcomings.
Some people pass every subject ordinarily, and some people are super strong and super weak, and the result is usually that the former gets better in the exam and goes to a better school.
Nodding, Jiang Che said, "Then what do you think now, if you don't read it, what do you want to do?"
"My dad said he wanted me to go to my uncle's factory to learn how to make clothes, so he took me to Linzhou, but I ...... I want to work with you even more. ”
Lingchun said as she walked out from behind Jiang's mother and tentatively walked towards Jiang Che.
As a younger sister who was once disliked, she is familiar with this kind of temptation.
"I'm going to be a clerk for my brother, okay? I'm willing to clean up. Lingchun made up his own mind and said, "I'll go to the Shencheng store, and I can help my brother wash clothes on weekends." ”
It turned out that she had already thought about it, and Jiang Che said directly: "This is not good." ”
"Brother......" Lingchun's mentality is close, and the whole person is depressed again, with a little grievance and coquettishness, looking pitiful.
"You came to Shencheng, I still have to study and I can't take care of you. Jiang Che hurriedly explained: "And when you first enter the society, it is the time when a person is most likely to change, so I don't feel at ease." ”
"I'm not going to be bad. ”
"There are very few people who want to be bad, you know? Almost unknowingly, under influence, they still think they are not wrong. What's more, the change I am talking about is not necessarily for the worse, but just a deviation in values and direction, which is often something that we are not aware of. ”
My cousin said, "Oh...... Do not understand. ”
Jiang Che smiled immediately, because of his old-fashioned reasoning appearance, although he couldn't see it, he could imagine it.
"Then what do you say? Jiang's mother interjected on the side.
Jiang Che hesitated.
"Why don't I make a suggestion for you to listen to?" Tang Yue walked up to Lingchun and said, "There's really no better way, just let my cousin follow me for half a year and walk around together, right?"
She turned to Lingchun and said, "We can also learn English together." After half a year, you decide to stay, or go to your brother's side to help, you have more or less experience, so that he will not always worry. In addition, maybe you want to study again when you go back, then you can also let your brother find a way, what do you think?"
"Well, it's best to follow Xiaoyue. Jiang Ma was the first to express her opinion.
Lingchun hesitated for a moment and looked at Jiang Che, "Brother?"
Jiang Che: "I thought about it, it's best like this. ”
Jiang Che cared about this cousin in his heart, but he didn't have the energy to take care of and care too much in person, and he was still a little unsure about her idea of giving up her studies.
Tang Yue's suggestion can be regarded as taking all the questions together, and her own experience and transformation process are enough to make Jiang Che and Jiang Ma believe that she will be the best mentor.
"That'...... I must study hard and find my brother in half a year. ”
Lingchun is not small after all, and she hasn't been pampered much, so she said sensibly on the spot.
"Well, then. ”
Tang Yue pulled Lingchun to get acquainted with each other, and laughed from time to time.
Jiang Che couldn't hear it clearly, just one sentence, Tang Yue said: "Your brother is too fond of girls, if you follow him for a long time, it is easy for no one to look down on him, and you will not be able to marry." ”
