Lao Dao has worked hard all his life, he doesn't know a big character, and he was born with polio when he was a child, so one leg is never very bright, and he can't do any physical work.

He felt that there was no way out for Xu Yi to stay in the mountains, no matter how hard it was, he had to study hard and strive to be able to walk out of this mountain one day.

Xu Yi did not disgrace him, and was admitted to the county's No. 1 middle school in one go during the high school entrance examination, breaking the record of the highest education level in the village until junior high school.

At that time, everyone felt that this child had a promising future and would definitely be admitted to a key university in the future.

Because Lao Dao has bad legs and feet, Xu Yi has been going to school, so the village has not given them any responsibility for the field, and even the unified homestead use certificate was handled at that time, and because there was no spare space in the village at that time, so a large area of ruins of the original Qingyuan Temple was assigned to Lao Dao as a homestead. only said that if there is a vacant homestead in the village in the future, and Lao Dao is willing to go back to the village to live, he will come back, and he will have a good response. Every time there was a vacant homestead in the village, the village chief would come to the door to say it, but until Lao Dao died, he never let go, so the homestead had to be distributed to those who were newly divided.

The old road was gone, and the village chief saw that Xu Yi was the only one left, so he thought about letting him move down the mountain to live with his old couple.

The village chief himself is also old, and there is only one son in the family, and the relationship has always been very harmonious, but after adding a grandson, because his wife can't get used to her son and daughter-in-law spoiling her grandson, she spoils a child too much, so she talks a few more times, which makes the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law tense.

The village chief was angry, so he simply let his son and his son take the child to live separately, so that they could be quiet with each other.

After his son moved out, his Westhouse was always empty, and it was not inconvenient for Xu Yi to live in his own house, so that Xu Yi could have a hot meal when he came home from school.

However, it is said that whose baby is like whom, but Xu Yi also has a temper with the old man, no matter how the village chief persuades, he just doesn't agree, only saying that he lives there very well.

The village chief was helpless, so he had to let him, but he also watched Xu Yi carry his schoolbag to school and leave school every day, and then smoke rose from the mountain.

After watching it like this for a few days, the village chief was relieved and didn't think much about it.

But within a month, Xu Yi's homeroom teacher called, saying that Xu Yi hadn't come to class for a week, and asked if something had happened at home.

The old village chief was stunned when he heard this, Xu Yi didn't come to the village during this time, he just thought that he was heavy in high school, plus it took a lot of time to walk back and forth to the county every day, plus he had to cook and do housework by himself, so he didn't have time to wander around, so he went to Guanli, but he didn't find Xu Yi, and when he looked for it again, he found that Xu Yi was busy in the field.

It turned out that Lao Dao was gone, leaving Xu Yi alone, and there was nothing left of the little money left in the family to Lao Dao after the funeral, and he had no income, the tuition fee was paid by the village, but the usual expenses were given to him by Lao Dao, which usually cost him too much money to go to school, but a penny was difficult for a hero, and when it came time to pay the test paper fee, Xu Yi found that he was already penniless, so he had no intention of going to school, and he didn't talk to anyone, so he simply dropped out of school and went home to farm, thinking that he would live a lifetime guarding the grave of two generations of old Tao.

After listening to Xu Yi's explanation, the village chief became angry, directly carried Xu Yi's neck, dragged him home, and cleaned him up with a broom. Drop a sentence: No productive things, no money and don't know how to open your mouth, what can you do by scratching the ditch yourself? Go to school well, give the village some face, you don't have to take care of the land at home, usually if the school asks for money, come to me, if it's not enough, everyone will find a way together, it's much better than a person like you fooling around, you don't care about the work in the field, hurry up to the school.

For this, the villagers held another meeting, after the meeting, the land under the mountain was planted and harvested by the villagers in turn, except for leaving some rations for Xu Yi, the rest was sold, and the money was handed over to the village head, and the poor money was squeezed out by the village and given to Xu Yi as living expenses, just like that, Xu Yi studied until the college entrance examination.

When Xu Yi was admitted to high school, one day Lao Dao asked Xu Yi what university he would go to in the future, Xu Yi did not hesitate to say that he wanted to study in medical university, and Lao Dao knew that Xu Yi was looking at his poor health, but he didn't go to the hospital, so he thought that one day he could see a doctor for himself. However, Lao Dao was moved, but he told Xu Yi not to be a doctor, but Xu Yi asked him and didn't say the reason, just sighed.

When the results came out to fill in the volunteers, Xu Yi went to ask the village chief what school to apply for, and the village chief asked him to make his own ideas. Xu Yi thought about it for a night and resolutely chose to be admitted to the Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but he thought that it would be good to see the problems of the villagers one day.

After the exam, Xu Yi was not idle, he was busy in the summer, he was in the village every day to help people harvest wheat or something, and he didn't remember the exam results.

When I was done, it was August. The letters from the village are sent directly to the village committee, and then the village chief takes a loudspeaker to notify or sends it when he is empty, so the admission notice of the University of Chinese Medicine is down, and the village chief is the first to know, and the postman repeatedly emphasized: This is the admission notice, and the village chief has been asked to be careful not to lose it.

Looking at the address on the envelope, the village chief was very excited, and directly took the loudspeaker to notify the village, and the whole village was boiling, after all, this was the first college student in the village, and it was in time for the slack season, and when Xu Yi arrived at the village committee, many people were already there, and they were excited to look at the envelope one by one.

The village chief asked Xu Yi to open the letter and read it in public. The two young people who grew up with Xu Yi and liked to toss mentioned that the village celebrated together, and the surrounding villagers all said that it was time to celebrate, and they unanimously agreed to put together a party.

So while it was still early, a few legs and feet quickly ran to the township to buy some fish and meat, and there was no need to buy vegetables, and every family would not lack this.

As for wine, most people have the custom of brewing their own rice wine, so there is no shortage of this.

moved more than a dozen to stand aside, and just like that, a big table was set up in the courtyard of the village committee. A joy, from three o'clock in the afternoon to eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Yi saluted next to the table, although he drank sweet rice wine, which is only drunk by children and women in mountain villages, and in the end he was almost drunk.

The crowd dispersed, ignoring the village chief's stay, Xu Yi staggered back and sat alone in front of the old grave for a long time.

The village can't afford to pay for college tuition, the village chief said that we should find a way to get together a little, it was Xu Yi borrowed, but Xu Yi comforted him, he took a few pieces of paper out, and said that this was what he had inquired with the teacher, and the teacher pulled the materials for him on the Internet, which was the application for a student loan, and he could apply for a student loan, and then repay the loan after he graduated。

At the end of August, Xu Yi packed a simple bag, and then went down the mountain to say goodbye door to door, but received a lot of daily necessities such as clothes, shoes, socks and so on.

Seeing Xu Yi like this, the village chief squinted his eyes and smiled, and led his son to pick up Xu Yi's bags and went directly to the provincial capital with him.

As soon as I got out of the train station, I found that the Provincial University of Traditional Chinese Medicine had set up a temporary reception for new students near the exit of the station, as long as I took the admission notice, someone would help carry the luggage to the car, and then let them wait for more people to drive directly to the school, and they would help them go through the admission procedures together.

After sitting with Xu Yi in the car for a while, the old village chief called Xu Yi out of the car, saying that since there were people here in the school to help, they would not be needed, and they would wait in line to buy a ticket back and go back to the village directly.

Xu Yi couldn't persuade him, seeing that there were not many people on the car, he told the teacher who led the team about the situation, and followed the two of them to buy tickets and get on the train back to the county directly.

Before entering the station, the old village chief took out a paper bag from his pocket and stuffed it into Xu Yi's pocket, telling him that this was a little bit of meaning from the villagers in the village, let him put it away, don't be too economical at school, don't be wronged, study hard......

In addition to the education loan that Xu Yi applied for in the first year's tuition, he was exempted from tuition fees in the next few years because he won a first-class scholarship, and if he saved a little living expenses, plus the output in the field, it was barely enough, and he didn't ask for a penny from the village that was not rich in the first year, and even in the end, he had been doing an internship in production, and the traditional Chinese medicine hospital also paid Xu Yi wages and subsidies in full accordance with the treatment of in-service employees.

Originally, the internship allowance for fresh graduates was not so high, but in the winter and summer vacations of the past few years, Xu Yi has been practicing for free in the traditional Chinese medicine hospital.

And the department and the hospital are still very sure of Xu Yi's personality and ability, so when Xu Yi just said that he wanted to come to the production internship and intended to return to the county to work, Zhang Zhang, the section chief of the personnel department, came to talk to Xu Yi, and wanted to go to Xu Yi's employment agreement, and directly signed and sealed, as long as Xu Yi got the graduation certificate, he could formally sign the labor contract and then handle the personnel relationship. Therefore, in line with the principle of equal pay for equal work, we also refer to the salary level of the undergraduate graduates who just entered the college last year, and pay him a salary. In the past few months, Xu Yi has even saved enough of the loan and interest in the past few years when he was in school, and he can repay it when he returns to school.
