Liu Loufang's house is in a nearby village.

Due to its proximity to the school, there are many hotels, hostels, guest houses, and rental houses in the nearby villages, all of which are rented out to students.

Liu Loufang's house is in a small alley opposite Dongguan Market.

Tao Tao pushed the bicycle and followed behind Liu Loufang.

After a while, the two walked to the door of a villager's house.

Liu Loufang pointed to the house in front of him and said, "When I arrive, the house I rented is here." “

Taotao looked at the house in front of him, and the appearance was not bad.

He thought to himself, this kind of house, the rent is probably not cheap.

After entering the villager's house, Liu Loufang went straight up to the third floor with Taotao.

The house built by this villager is only two floors, and the top floor was originally a roof, but one was added at zero hour.

This house was originally intended to be used as a bathroom, but because there have been more residents recently, the landlord has also converted this small bathroom into a rental room and rented it out.

Walking into the rental house of the building, it is hard for Tao Tao to imagine, how does Liu Loufang live in this house?

Because it's just too hot, too small, too stuffy.

Since it is on the third floor and there is no shelter, this house is often exposed to the sun all day.

Walking into the house, Tao Tao saw that the house was only four square meters in size, with a bed, a table, and then nothing, which can be described as the simple facilities and the difficult conditions, far beyond Tao Tao's imagination.

Tao Tao was in Liu Loufang's house, and he couldn't stay for less than three minutes.

As he exited the house, he said, "The building, such a hot house, I don't even know how you live in it." “

Liu Loufang smiled and said: "It's hot in the first half of the night, and it's not hot in the second half of the night." “

Tao Tao looked at Liu Loufang's forehead with sweat, but there was a smile on his face. 、

He asked puzzledly, "It's so hot in the first half of the night, can you fall asleep?"

Liu Loufang looked at the ceiling and said with a smile: "I can't sleep when it's hot." “

Taotao asked, "What should I do?"

Liu Loufang took out an enamel basin from under the bed and said: "I make a basin of cold water at night, soak my feet in the water and read, which is cool and not afraid of mosquito bites." “

Tao Tao asked curiously: "Then what time do you read a book every night?"

Liu Loufang's eyes rolled up, he thought for a while and said, "See a little bit or so." “

Hearing that Liu Loufang had to study alone every night after self-study, he couldn't help but think of his learning state.

Compared with Liu Loufang, he is simply too lazy, not only has he never read a book until one o'clock in the morning, but he has basically not studied by himself even after studying at night.

Tao Tao asked, "Then you go to bed at one o'clock at night, can you get up the next day?"

Liu Loufang said: "I got up at six o'clock in the morning. “

Tao Tao said, "Why do you get up so early?"

Liu Loufang said: "I spent three years in junior high school, I have lived like this, and I have developed a habit, I get up at six o'clock in the morning, read until seven o'clock, then wash up and go out for breakfast, and then go to school to read in the morning." “

Hearing that Liu Loufang studied so hard, Tao Tao gasped.

He counted Liu Loufang's extracurricular study time, at least more than four hours.

As for himself, unless the teacher forces him to study, otherwise, he will never study as hard as Liu Loufang.

At the same time, Tao Tao also sighed that the reason why Liu Loufang was able to be admitted to Liquan No. 1 Middle School is that in addition to his intelligence, hard work and diligence are definitely very important aspects.

Hearing that Liu Loufang didn't go to bed until one o'clock in the evening, and got up at six o'clock in the morning, Tao Tao also understood why Liu Loufang chose to rent a room outside instead of going to the school to live on campus.

The school's dormitory turns off the lights at 10 o'clock every night, and the call does not come until 7 o'clock in the morning, which is not at all in line with Liu Loufang's habit of studying hard.

However, what Tao Tao didn't know was that the rent of the rental house where Liu Lou was located was half cheaper than the school's dormitory.

The dormitory of the school charges 40 yuan a month, while this rental house only charges 20 yuan a month.

Tao Tao suddenly had the urge to move over and live with Liu Loufang and study together.

He thought to himself, if he lived with a diligent and studious person like Liu Loufang, then after three years of high school, he would definitely be able to be admitted to a very good university.

However, he looked at Liu Loufang's humble room and instantly dispelled this thought.

After coming out of Liu Loufang's rental house and returning home, Taotao's personality changed greatly.

He told his mother: "Mom, I figured it out, I don't go to Changqing No. 7 Middle School anymore, I still go to school in Liquan No. 1 Middle School." “

Dongmei was very puzzled when she heard the idea that Taotao would be east for a while and west for a while.

She said, "Did I go to your homeroom teacher today, and she promised to change your seat, so you were relieved and decided to go to school here?"

After speaking, Dong Meixin said that a child is a child after all, and it is too easy to coax.

Tao Tao shook his head and said, "Mom, no, there is a new classmate in our class today, his name is Liu Loufang......"

Before Taotao's words were finished, Dongmei asked curiously: "What, Loufang, this name is too strange, right?"

Tao Tao didn't know why Liu Loufang had such a strange and funny-sounding name.

What Tao Tao didn't know was that there was a big reason why Liu Loufang came up with this name.

Liu Loufang's parents were farmers, and his family was extremely poor.

In the month Liu Loufang was born, it rained lightly for a whole month.

The continuous rain directly collapsed the three earthen houses of Liu Loufang's family.

And the house where Liu Loufang's mother was located also collapsed.

It's just that Liu Loufang's mother escaped in time and escaped, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Since then, Liu Loufang's family has one more wish, that is, they hope that their children will be able to live in the building in the future, so they will no longer have to worry about the collapse of the earthen house because of the rain.

And the name Liu Loufang came from in this way.

Tao Tao said: "Mom, don't interrupt me first, you let me finish talking first, and then you interject." “

Dongmei nodded and said, "Okay, you say, why did you suddenly decide to go to school in Liquan No. 1 Middle School?"

Tao Tao said: "Mom, do you know that Liu Loufang returns home every day after school, and he has to study until one o'clock at night before going to bed, and then get up again at six o'clock in the morning to continue studying.

He spent more than four hours a day studying on his own. “

Hearing Liu Loufang's diligence, Dongmei thought of Weiguo.

Back then, in the first year and the second year, Wei Guo failed the college entrance examination.

In the third year, Wei Guo followed his uncle to Linxing, where the score line was relatively low.

In the end, through a year of hard study, he was admitted to Changqing Petroleum School with the sixteenth place in the county.

It can be said that Liu Loufang's diligence now is comparable to the diligence of defending the country back then.

Dongmei told Taotao: "You have all lived in the family compound since you were a child, and you went to a children's school.

In addition, the classrooms in the school are large and the students are small, and each teacher has his or her own fixed student management.

It can be said that you have been supervised and supervised by teachers since you were a child, and children like Liu Loufang have been attending schools with many people, few teachers, and difficult conditions since they were young.

Moreover, teachers are too busy to take care of every student, so they can only be admitted from elementary school to junior high school and from junior high school to high school through their own self-study and diligence, which is much more difficult than you. “

Hearing this, Tao Tao knew his happiness.

In the past, Tao Tao thought that the children all over the world were like himself, going to children's schools, worry-free food and clothing every day, opening their mouths for food, stretching out their hands for clothes, the school was good, and the teachers were responsible.

Only now did he realize that he was only one of the lucky few.

And most of the children do not have their own family conditions and school conditions.

It can be said that Dongmei's reminder made Taotao, the frog at the bottom of the well, really understand his happiness.

At the same time, he also understood that he was just staying at the bottom of the well, and the outside world was far bigger than he imagined.

Tao Tao paused and said: "I want to learn like Liu Loufang, learn from his hard work, learn from his diligence, and learn from his spirit." “

Dongmei encouraged Taotao and said, "Then you are usually fine, so ask Liu Loufang for advice." “

Tao Tao nodded and said, "I will definitely ask Liu Loufang for more advice, I also lent all my books to Liu Loufang for self-study tonight." “

Hearing that Taotao lent the books to Liu Loufang, Dongmei asked curiously: "Didn't Liu Loufang have any books, so you lent him the books?"

Tao Tao nodded and said, "The money Liu Loufang earned from working was only enough for him to pay for tuition, not enough for him to pay for books, so he borrowed my books and went to copy them." “

Hearing this, Dongmei's eyes widened, and she said incredulously: "What, copying books?

Tao Tao said: "Liu Loufang told me that when he was in junior high school, he copied books all the way, so in the past three years of high school, he is also going to copy them like this." “

Hearing this, Dongmei immediately took out a hundred yuan from her pocket, handed it to Taotao and said, "Hey, what kind of society is it now, there is such a poor child, you go and help him buy the book." “

Tao Tao knows that his mother is a good person, and she is very soft-hearted, and she is not pitied, let alone poor.

He took his mother's money and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll give the money to Liu Loufang tomorrow." “

Dongmei added again, saying: "If he doesn't want the money, you say that you lent it to him, but you don't have to pay it back now, when he grows up and works, it's not too late to pay it back." “

After speaking, Dongmei added: "This kid, the family is so poor, he must not be able to eat well, when you come back every day, simply call him up and come to our house for dinner." “

After speaking, Dongmei suddenly thought of Cui Xiaotao when she was at the Ganquan base.

Because his parents are divorced, his father urges the Northeast to go out on business all year round, so the child has no fixed place to live, and he buys food outside indiscriminately.

Dongmei looked at the child pitiful, so she asked Taotao to often call Cui Xiaotao to the house for dinner.

Now, his family has moved to the Liquan base, and Cui Xiaotao still stays with his father at the Ganquan base.

Dongmei doesn't know, how is the child doing now?

Tao Tao nodded and said, "Mom, I know, tomorrow at noon, I will call him to come to our house for dinner." “

Dongmei said: "I also thank him by the way, he used his actions to completely change your mind, and also made you realize that you are in the blessing and do not know the blessing." “

Hearing this, Tao Tao felt that his mother was right, he had never thought that he was in happiness before, and he even envied the good life of those children on TV.

But through the comparison with Liu Loufang, Tao Tao really realized the superiority of the environment in which he grew up. [.]
