It is an exaggeration to say that the college entrance examination this year is difficult to get into the sky, but it is definitely one in a hundred. Take Jiangxi Province as an example, 1780,000 students who have gone through two rounds of elimination of about 60% of the acceptance rate of the 'small promotion to the junior high school' and about 10% of the admission rate of the 'initial promotion' took the exam, and finally only about 20,000 people were admitted.

Li Jiaren and Li Jiayi brothers are very unfortunate, they are one of the 156,000 who have been eliminated, no matter how good they are in primary school and junior high school, after more than ten years of hard work, they have returned to the countryside that made them desperate. Li Jiaming 'tasted' this kind of despair after defeat, so he did not participate in their schadenfreude but advised them not to fall into the trap.

"Jiaming, you are too kind, if it is me, it will be strange if you don't put a few firecrackers!"

The sue who came to help sift the sand also echoed Mao Yan, who was picking up a soil basket and coming back, "That is, to be a human being, you have to have clear grievances, and those two beasts are still worthy of sympathy?"

Li Jiaming, who was sweating profusely, stared at a few small spots that were catching small fish and shrimp in the fork of the river, quickly filled the sand in Mao Ling's soil basket, straightened up and teased his two playmates: "You are not as good as the big man and the second guy, they still have an ideal and want to be admitted to university." I think you're just two stupid guys, and you haven't even thought about the future. ”

The two and a half adults were stunned, and told them that they had Mr. Wang's intimidation, and finally squeezed into the gate of the junior high school, Mao Ling could get a mess in the exam, and was ready to go to the construction site with the second uncle to do a small job for half a year, and then go out to work with the eldest brother and cousin after the year, and they really didn't think about the future. There are elders watching on the construction site, and there are adults watching after going out, which round will get them to be the masters?

Li Jiaming hehehe, he is straight, he may be able to go on the right path, Mao Ling is a bad embryo in the mixed society. Wang Zhenguo didn't get Uncle Wu's big project, but under his strong recommendation, he got the reconstruction project of the county plywood factory, and he couldn't even look down on the houses on the street. Mao Yan went to work in the county seat, and Wang Zhenguo, who likes him to speak well, is on the construction site, and there are people like Brother Hao who like to play and eat openly, and he will not go to the society? If he didn't have his own bridge, this kid might have come out a little slower, and now he can borrow the momentum of his relatives and friends, will he not take shortcuts?

"Don't understand?"

"I don't understand!"

"If you don't understand, think about it, think about what you want to do, what do you want? Fifteen or sixteen people, even those little girls are not as good, they still know how to study, and go to college in the future!"

Since these two ignorant men hadn't thought about the future, Li Jiaming didn't say much after a few sentences, saw that it was almost time to have lunch, and beckoned everyone to call it a day and go home. There are many things that I can only mention when my playmates are confused, and in the end, it is up to them to fight and grab them.

Lunch was eaten at the second aunt's house, her family's food was better than Aunt Hongying's, there were meat and eggs on the table, there was enough white rice in the rice retort, and the thin dog and hairy tong finally didn't have to carry the rice bowl, and hid in the kitchen to open a small stove.

As soon as everyone picked up their rice bowls, there was the sound of motorcycles outside the door, and Li Chuanmeng, who was sweating profusely, came back, and took Li Chuanmin, who was also sweating profusely. The two washed their faces in the kitchen, sat down in the hall and picked up a big bowl of white rice, and then discussed with Li Jiaming: "Jiaming, you can't delay the affairs of Ye Ye (Dad), what do you think?"

Seven or eight children could not understand it, but Li Jiaming knew what the two uncles meant: Most of the daughters-in-law in the countryside passed the door with a big belly, and the stepmother passed through the door with a big belly, so they had to give someone a name first, right? In the rural areas, the marriage of two people is not based on the marriage certificate, but on the basis of whether the daughter-in-law enters the door and does not pay the bride price.

's father is far away in Guangdong, and their trip back and forth is more than 1,000 yuan, and these things can only be done by the second uncle and Chuan Mengbo. My father sent 18,000 to himself last time, and it is estimated that his money is about the same, and the two of them want to let themselves advance the bride price money first, and it has to be voluntary. My father is married for the second time, and if I don't want to advance money first, they don't talk much, after all, my grandfather and maternal uncle are still watching.

"Second uncle, I'm a little boy, and I don't understand this. The money is all in the second aunt, you can discuss it with Uncle Chuanmeng. ”

Li Jiaming said this, the second uncle had expected it, but it was rumored that the fierce uncle said: "Jiaming, the money given to you is yours, and the uncle will let you return it to you in the future." ”

There are too many things that stepmothers treat their stepchildren poorly in the countryside, and Uncle Meng's words made Li Jiaming cry and laugh, but it was hard to say anything, so he could only thank him for his kindness.

Li Chuanmin, who knew that his nephew was fine, couldn't say anything, so he diverted the topic while picking up the meal: "Brother Chuanmeng, my eldest brother's legs and feet are inconvenient, you have to take the lead in this matter, and he will help you do it, what do you think?"

A decent marriage in the countryside costs five or six thousand yuan, and with the matter of feeding the pigs last time, Li Chuanmeng is not at ease to let the eldest brother go to Zhang Luo again, and said happily: "Well, Chuanlin's passing room (succession) is in the second room, and this matter should also be led by me as the eldest brother of the long house." After eating, we went to discuss it with Chuanjian. ”

In the countryside, red and white ceremonies are held, and the leading 'promotion' is in charge of money and goods, and the saying of Mengbo is good, so that all relatives have nothing to say. The two hurriedly finished eating, and when they went to Li Chuanjian to say it, he had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it, and promised to give Li Chuanmeng, the eldest brother of the long house, a hand.

However, the Li Jiaren brothers, who had just come out of the shadow of failing the college entrance examination and wanted to go to tutoring, were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. The parents made some money selling vegetables, and they knew that it was for the two smarter younger brothers to study, and the second uncle must have owed a few houses, but the third uncle had a good temper, and now that he could make a lot of money, he would definitely be willing to lend money to his brother for tutoring.

As soon as Li Chuanmeng's brother left, Li Jiaren couldn't wait to beg his father: "Ye Ye (Dad), you write a letter to the third uncle, he will definitely be willing to borrow money." ”

Li Chuanjian, who had already finished eating, sighed and said helplessly: "Da Han, your third uncle said before that if you can pass the exam, he will help." ”

Li Jiaren was anxious, Li Jiayi was more calm, and there were more twists and turns in his heart, and he asked rhetorically: "Yes, you didn't even ask, how do you know that he doesn't want to? And the second uncle, he is the second boss, and the brick houses are all made in a row, and there is still a difference of two thousand yuan?"

Li Chuanjian, who had gray hair, sighed dejectedly, how could it be so easy to borrow money? It was said that the brothers broke bones and connected tendons, but that was just a sentence, and it couldn't be true. It's always the icing on the cake, but how many will send charcoal in the snow?

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

Li Jiadao knew that his eldest brother and second brother had been selfish and mean since they were children, laughing at the army's 'stammering', laughing at the eldest sister and the second sister's 'wooden braincase', laughing at the big dog hairy and their 'stupid'...... It was extremely unbearable in the hearts of the uncles. In the past, only his four brothers could study in Huang Niping, and the uncles pinched their noses to borrow money, but now the little cousin is motivated with a group of younger brothers and sisters, and the uncles will be so easy to talk?

Now that they are not angry, they can't get into college and want to tutor, and they force their father to beg for help, plus they forced themselves to pass during the New Year, Li Jiadao couldn't help but say angrily: "Big brother, second brother, you two wake up, last time Jiaming helped you because of Jiade's face." The old debts have not been cancelled, and you still expect the second and third uncles to borrow them?"

For drowning people, the straw in the eyes of others is all their hopes, whoever pours cold water is their enemy, Li Jiaren, who is more anxious, threw away the dishes and chopsticks, and said resentfully: "Third child, what kind of feces are you spraying? If it weren't for the fact that our family wanted us to take the primary secondary school exam, would you think we wouldn't be able to get into the key high school? If it weren't for the fear that the family couldn't afford it, do you think we would want to take the junior secondary school exam?"

These words stabbed Li Chuanjian's sore spot, the second brother was arrested by the police station four years ago, and he owed a butt of debt, the third brother was originally a butt of debt, and the fourth brother who worked outside only thought about learning to drive and falling in love, and did not send a penny back. He knew that with his husband and wife, he couldn't afford to provide for his four children to go to high school and college, and even the two eldest ones couldn't afford it, so he reasoned with the eldest son and second son who would definitely be able to get into a key high school and let them go to the primary secondary school.

Seeing that his father bowed his head and was silent, the eldest raised his head again, and Li Jiayi also said in a deep voice: "Yes, the fourth brother usually eats white rice and steamed eggs alone, and we are not red-eyed, but this is a matter of studying, and it is related to our future! My eldest brother and I are also your own children, and you and your mother have made money selling vegetables, so you can't just take care of the third and fourth children, right?"

This was too much, and Li Jiade, who had been silent, slapped his chopsticks on the table and said in a deep voice: "Jiayi, how did you talk to Yeye?"

Usually the Li Jiaren brothers let the fourth brother, that is, they know that this younger brother is very favored by the uncles, and even if he is admitted to the university in the future, he will have to borrow tuition from the uncles, and he does not dare to make enemies with him, but he is not afraid of him. Now that my father doesn't even want to open his mouth to the third uncle, how can they care if they will offend the uncles? Li Jiade is silent, and now he is reprimanding Li Jiayi, and his brother Li Jiaren is not to be outdone.

"Fourth, is the second child wrong? The whole family eats shredded potato rice, what do you eat? We are also raised by our mother's father, why?

At the beginning, we didn't want to take the junior secondary school exam, but we wanted to study in the county middle school and university, but the family asked us to take the exam, saying that the family couldn't afford it, and wanted us to come out to work early, so that you and Sanyan could study in college!"

The youngest son is the continuation of Li Chuanjian's dream, and it is also the pride of his life, if the eldest son does not yell at the younger son, he will try his best to make money so that the eldest son and the second son will regret it for life, after all, the palms and backs of the hands are meat.

But now that the eldest son has touched his scales, Li Chuanjian, who usually never beats and scolds his four sons and only reasones, finally became angry and roared: "Brute! I sent you to study and gave it away, right? Jiade eats white rice by us, and eats eggs from between his teeth, and your mother divides the eggs at home into four portions every time, and gives you all that should be yours! You two brutes, you can't pass the exam and complain about others?"

was angrily reprimanded by his father, who was usually not angry, and the Li Jiaren brothers instinctively trembled, and then shouted again by the neck: "I won't accept it!"

"What if you're not convinced?"

Brother Li Jiaren's face was so red that his neck was thick, and he also said openly: "Okay, we don't ask you, we will go to work and earn money by ourselves! In the future, it will be none of our business for the third and fourth children to study!"

However, Li Chuanjian, who was in his early forties and was old, black and thin like a sixtieth year, laughed angrily, pointed at these two unfilial sons, and trembled, unable to say a word. He never expected that the husband and wife had worked hard for half a lifetime, but in the end it was the result of a brother's disobedience, disobedience and unfilial piety, and suddenly his eyes turned black and fell softly on the small dinner table.
