During the summer vacation, Taotao stayed at home and was bored.

Wei Guo entrusted people to buy two copies for Taotao.

Before that, Tao Tao also read books, but he only liked to read adventure books.

And other types of books, he doesn't like to read at all.

However, when Wei Guo told Tao Tao that these two books were very interesting, and after reading them himself, he was deeply immersed in them and couldn't extricate himself, Tao Tao opened these two books.

These two books were written by Lu Yao, one is a novella "Life" of about 100,000 words, and the other is a million-word long "Ordinary World".

Taotao, who was not optimistic about these two books, was deeply attracted when he opened the first book "Life" and saw the second paragraph.

He couldn't help but read it aloud: "Gao Jialin, the only child of Gao Yude who is a private teacher, is naked, wading through the river in front of the village......"

Soon, Taotao was attracted by this book.

He read a few chapters in one go, especially when he read that Liu Qiaozhen and Gao Jialin were together, he was suddenly full of yearning for love.

At the same time, he also wants to know the plot later in the story.

Tao Tao walked on the bed, wearing Erlang's vest, kicking his feet against the wall, holding the book in both hands, and reading it seriously.

He wanted to finish the book in one go, but he was afraid that after reading such a good book, there would be no more books to read.

So, he read it for a while, then put the book on himself, paused for a while, and carefully recalled the plot of the book.

When he knew that this book was written by Lu Yao in the cave of Ganquan, he was even more excited.

Because he spent his childhood in Ganquan.

And maybe the places I passed by when I was a child left Lu Yao's footprints.

Tao Tao read the book "Life" for a total of three days before he finished reading it.

When Tao Tao read the back, Gao Jialin did not choose Liu Qiaozhen, but chose Huang Yaping, and finally when Liu Qiaozhen married Ma Bolt, he couldn't help but lie on the bed and cry bitterly.

The young Taotao is saddened by the love tragedy of Liu Qiaozhen and Gao Jialin.

After reading "Life", Tao Tao began to read another million-word masterpiece "Ordinary World".

In the same way, he was fascinated by the words.

However, because "Ordinary World" is very long and has a lot of words, Tao Tao does not have the restraint when reading "Life".

He was so excited that he could finally let go of reading.

When others read ten lines at a glance, Tao Tao reads one word at a time.

He was afraid of missing every word, and for him, as long as it was a book that attracted him, he would like to put the book in front of him and read it word by word.

In the days of watching "Ordinary World", Taotao was extremely happy.

Because he has something to look forward to every day, and he has something to gain every day.

At night, when he closes the book, he fantasizes about the rest of the plot and falls asleep slowly in his fantasies.

The next morning, he can't wait to open "The Ordinary World" and continue reading.

At the same time, he also recommended these two books to his classmates.

But among the classmates, only Yongjiang resonated with Taotao.

He, like Taotao, was intoxicated and silent in Lu Yao's two books and couldn't extricate himself.

However, when Yongjiang saw half of "Ordinary World", the book was confiscated by his mother.

The reason for the mother's confiscation is that there are some adult words in the book, such as sterilization, etc., which is not conducive to the child's growth.

When Yongjiangshu returned it to Taotao and told him the reason, Taotao couldn't cry or laugh.

He couldn't understand Yongjiang's mother's thoughts at all.

He felt that everyone was about to be eighteen years old, and even if he read those adult words, he should not be so shy about it.

Through the two books of "Life" and "Square World", Taotao was completely hooked.

Although Taotao wants to see more, due to Weiguo's limited reading, he can't recommend a better one to Taotao.

So, Tao Tao began to search for it himself.

At the same time, Tao Tao also found time to hang out at the used book stalls outside.

Tao Tao read a lot, until he found Chen Zhongzhong's "White Deer Plain", Jia Pingwa's "Missing the Wolf" and "Waste Capital......

However, compared with the shock that "Life" and "Ordinary World" brought to Taotao, "White Deer Plain" and "Waste Capital" did not bring him the same resonance as "Life".

Maybe Taotao is too young to understand books with strong literary characteristics such as "White Deer Plain" and "Waste Capital".

During the summer vacation, relying on these books, Taotao spent a fulfilling and beautiful summer vacation.

Moreover, the fear and anxiety in his heart have been greatly alleviated.

If there were no external stimuli, Taotao could be said to have returned to normal.

And Dongmei watched Taotao's changes in a summer vacation, and her heart was also very happy.

She couldn't help but say in her heart, this Tao Tao, she really inherited her own advantages, she loves to read, especially love.

Dongmei remembers that when she first moved to the Ganquan base, because life was boring, but there were no books to read, she once read through a copy of "The Iran-Iraq War", and since then she has understood the history of the two countries and the reasons for the war.

The summer vacation ended soon, and Taotao, who had been cured of mental illness, went to school happily with his schoolbag on his back.

Seeing that Taotao had regained the happy child she had before, as a mother, Dongmei was happy from the bottom of her heart.

However, Dongmei's happiness was not over, so Hongxia brought her daughter Li Jing over to find Dongmei.

Li Jing is Hongxia's eldest daughter, although she is the same age as Taotao, she is one level lower than Taotao.

She just graduated from junior high school this year and is facing high school.

Similar to Taotao's experience, high school has already started and classes have begun, and Li Jing is still staying at home and has no way to enter high school.

After all, the child is small, and has not experienced any strong winds and waves, so his heart is extremely fragile, like Taotao, Li Jing watched other children go to school with their schoolbags on their backs, while she was waiting for news at home, anxious and restless.

Although Hongxia found an acquaintance and was going to put Li Jing in Liquan No. 1 Middle School, a key high school in the county, due to the mistake of an acquaintance, Li Jing was not put in the school in time.

Hongxia saw that her eldest daughter was in pain every day because she couldn't go to school, and even washed her face with tears, she was very anxious.

However, there is no way to do it in a hurry, and there is nothing to be done.

In a hurry, Hongxia thought of Dongmei.

She knew that Tao Tao also went to Liquan No. 1 Middle School through acquaintances last year, and she wanted Dongmei to help, get to know the so-called acquaintances, and let her eldest daughter Li Jing go to school as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong with the child in a hurry, it will be troublesome.

As soon as Hongxia entered the door, she was in a hurry.

She looked at Dongmei and said, "Dongmei, where is Taotao?"

Dongmei looked at Li Jing, who she hadn't seen for a while, and found that she was much more beautiful.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, girl, it's really getting more and more beautiful.

She said, "Taotao went to school, what's wrong?"

Hongxia didn't go around the bend anymore, she said anxiously: "Dongmei, how did your child enter Liquan No. 1 Middle School last year, you help me and get Li Jing in." ”

Dongmei looked at Li Jing's face, although she was beautiful, she was sad.

She hurriedly asked, "Hongxia, your child hasn't entered school until now?"

Hongxia patted Li Jing's head, touched her braids, and said, "Hey, I found an acquaintance to do something, and I also got the matter done in the ditch, and said that on the day of school, I would let the child enter Liquan No. 1 Middle School, but now that school is about to start for a week, the child still can't get in." ”

After speaking, Hongxia began to sigh.

Dongmei comforted Hongxia and said, "Don't worry, Taotao was the same last year, he couldn't enter the school for half a day, and he didn't enter the school until the end." ”

Hongxia said anxiously: "I'm not in a hurry, but the child is in a hurry, look at Li Jing, she is in a hurry, and she cries at home every day." ”

Hearing this, Dongmei began to comfort Li Jing.

She said: "Child, you have to adjust your mood, don't dare to be like Taotao, because you can't get into school in a hurry, and your anxious heart has a small problem." ”

Hongxia saw Dongmei comforting the child, she said: "Dongmei, the child is a child after all, I have explained to her 10,000 times, she will enter school sooner or later, and she will have the opportunity to study, it is really not good, it is okay to put her in a private high school to study, but this child just doesn't listen, he can't eat every day, he can't sleep, he just wants to go to school." ”

Dongmei thought for a while and said, "It's better like this, Taotao was helped by Teacher Luo Jin last year, so I'll take you to Teacher Luo Jin." ”

Hearing that Dongmei had a way, Hongxia said happily: "Dongmei, I said that you are the most capable woman among our good sisters, and they don't believe it. ”

Hearing her mother say that she might be able to go to school, Li Jing finally laughed happily.

Dongmei is a very efficient person, and after speaking, she took Hongxia's mother and daughter to Teacher Luo Jin's house.

Coincidentally, Mr. Luo Jin also happened to be at home.

When he saw Dongmei come in with a child and an adult, he immediately understood.

Before Dongmei could speak, Teacher Luo Jin said, "You came to me to go through the enrollment procedures for the child, right?"

Dongmei nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Luo, I'm going to trouble you again." ”

Luo Jin asked, "Which school are you going to let your child go to?"

Dongmei said: "I can still enter that school, of course, it is Liquan No. 1 Middle School, a key high school in the county." ”

And Hongxia, who was standing next to Dongmei, looked at the conversation between Dongmei and Teacher Luo Jin, and her heart was also full of expectations.

She hopes that through Dongmei's introduction, she can meet Teacher Luo Jin, and let her daughter Li Jing enter high school smoothly.

And Li Jing didn't dare to blink and looked at Teacher Luo Jin, looking forward to Teacher Luo Jin being able to let him go to school.

However, to everyone's disappointment, Mr. Luo Jin shook his head and said, "Hey, last year, I was able to let the children enter the key high school because I did something for the director of the school.

But this year, Director Ren has nothing for me to do for him, so I can't do anything about our children's admission to school. ”

Hearing this, Dongmei said: "Teacher Luo, you will be helped, what do you think the children are anxious about?"

Mr. Luo can understand the child's mood very well, but he still said apologetically: "Hey, I know the child's mood, but this year, I really can't help it." ”

After speaking, Mr. Luo began to send off the guests kindly.

Hearing that Teacher Luo couldn't handle the child's entry into high school, Hongxia was very depressed, and all her expectations just now were in vain.

And when Li Jing heard that she couldn't go to school again, she cried straight out in front of all the adults.

Out of Teacher Luo's house, Hongxia watched the child cry, and she couldn't help crying.

Dongmei was originally a soft-hearted person, and she couldn't see others pitiful, let alone cry.

She used her brains to think of ways to get Hongxia's child into school.

After a while, she suddenly had an idea and said, "Hongxia, don't cry with your child, I have a way now." ”

Hearing that Dongmei had a way, Hongxia and the child stopped crying and asked, "Dongmei, which acquaintance do you know, take us over to visit, so that my child can enter high school as soon as possible." ”

Dongmei said: "Acquaintance, I know Teacher Luo Jin alone, and I don't know anyone else." ”

Hearing that Dongmei still didn't know her acquaintances, Hongxia and the child were extremely disappointed, and tears left on their faces again.

Dongmei took out a tissue and wiped her tears for the two of them and said, "Don't worry, wait until I finish speaking, we don't know each other, it doesn't mean that we can't do anything." ”

After speaking, Dongmei said with the mentality of giving it a try: "Since Teacher Luo can't help, let's take the child and go to the school to find someone by ourselves and let the child go to school." ”

Hearing this, Hongxia felt that Dongmei's words were fantastic, because she also ran through school.

Not to mention finding someone who can let children go to school, even finding a person to receive them.

After all, there is only one key high school in the entire county, and there are many children who want to go to a key high school.

Hongxia said without any hope, "Can it work?"

Dongmei said confidently: "It can be done, why can't it be done, you just follow me." ”

After speaking, Dongmei thought of the director of the admissions office who had contacted Luo Jin.

Dongmei thought to herself, even if you find someone to do something, the person who is being found must be looking for Director Ren after she goes, let's not find Director Ren through others, it is better for us to go over and find Director Ren ourselves, maybe there is no middleman, and things are a little better.

Thinking of this, she strode in front and walked towards the high school.

And Hongxia took her daughter Li Jing's hand and followed behind Hongxia, both reluctant and helpless.
