The days in the mountains are monotonous, but they also pass quickly, as if yesterday was still the middle of summer, and in the blink of an eye, it was a cold and windy winter.

At the beginning of school and mid-term exams, the lives of the girls are unremarkable, but the happy events of the Li family in Huangniping are one after another. In addition to the military and Xiaolan's betrothed, the three of them went to the county to participate in the competition on behalf of the third grade of primary school, although they finally returned empty-handed like last year's Gui Mei, but they still showed up in the limelight in the school, making the uncles laugh from ear to ear; Li Jiaming went to the competition on behalf of the school and once again won the first place in Chinese and mathematics and the second place in English in the county. This is expected, but the second aunt and Aunt Hongying at home are still killing chickens and sheep, rewarding this diligent hero with his younger siblings.

The most important is Li Jiade's out-and-out genius, he represented the county's sophomore high school students to participate in the region's mathematics, physics and chemistry competitions, and won three regional firsts for the county one after another. His mother was excited, not only did she kowtow a few more times in front of the Guanyin Bodhisattva on the windowsill every time, but also shouted every time to go back to Chongxiang and go to the Guanyin Hall of Kuzhutan to make a vow.

People in the mountains believe in gods and ghosts, if it weren't for Li Jiade's participation in the regional competition, he would soon have to represent the region to participate in the national competition in the province, and the uncles would really go home collectively to worship their ancestors and worship God and make vows. I went to the province to compete, and I heard Sanyan say that if he could pass others in the exam, he would be selected to Beiping for intensive training, and he would be able to represent the country in the Olympiad all over the world in the future.

Tsk, go to Beiping, represent the country!

With Li Jiade, a happy event that even the leaders of the county party committee and the county government were shocked, Li Jiaming, who was at home, began to copy his brother's miracle again, and the two family affairs were somewhat bleak. When Da Mao Ling and Jun Yan, the brothers-in-law and brother-in-law, were engaged one after another, the protagonists should have been them, but relatives and friends talked about Li Jiaming and then Li Jiade.

"Awesome, it's the first in the county again!"

"I want you to say that people on the street say that Jia Ming is a lazy scale (hidden dragon), and he will turn into a dragon in the future!"

"Tsk, the ancestral tomb of the Li family is really well buried!"

"It's really amazing, just two college students this year, and two more the year after tomorrow, when Jiaming and their gang of girls and girls grow up, won't Huangniping become a home for college students?"

……

"Tsk, Li Jiade is really a Wenqu star!"

"That's it!"

"Tut-tut, three firsts in the region! It's amazing, Da Mao Yan is also lucky, and he actually climbed to such a good family. ”

It is said that if you are engaged to go to the ancestors to report the good news, at most you will kill a big rooster in the ancestral hall, but in the end, Li Xiaolan and Da Mao Ling, who were engaged, went to the ancestral grave to bow down. Li Chuanmeng, who was overjoyed, also deliberately carried a pig up the mountain to kill, and when he took his prospective son-in-law to the grave to report the good news, he just reported the children's relatives first, and then wrote a special book on the glory of the two nephews, and burned a whole load of firecrackers and incense candles.

It is said that it is not polite to report the good news like this, but even on the engagement wine of Da Mao Ling's family, except for his father thanking Zhang Xiangfeng a few words for the matchmaker, what everyone said the most at the banquet was how the Li brothers were.

Of course, the first in the county must be a famous university, and the first in the region is Tsinghua University and Peking University. In the mouths of ill-informed rural people, the genuine universities are the former Jinshi, and Tsinghua University and Peking University are the champions in the mouths of the older generation. If this is put in the previous dynasty, the memorial arch of the Li family in Huangniping, how many more than a few have to be repaired? Since Chongxiang has been recorded for hundreds of years, only the You family has raised people, passed the Jinshi, and set up the archway!

The old people who have been in the mountains all their lives and the adults who have never been out of the county are touted by their temperament, and anyway, they are all said by the old generation, so what will be wrong? Young people have seen the world and know that it is not like that, but they do not want to be disappointed. The sons and sisters of the Li family are really good, not only a few brothers can study, but even a few sisters are in the top few in the central primary school. That is, Mao Tong and thin dogs are worse, but I heard that they are going to take the sports exam, and looking at their physique, they are really material for practicing sports.

However, Li Jiade's miracle came to an abrupt end when the final exam was approaching. Although he is talented, Tonggu's education level is too backward after all, and there is no special person to train him, and he went to the competition a year in advance, but in the end he still failed to do those geniuses in big cities, and his grades were much worse than Li Jiaming's previous life.

A provincial third prize and a second prize, although the teachers in the school were happy, but the uncles were a little disappointed, and even Li Jiade, who had always been accustomed to winning the first place, was depressed all day long.

Although somewhat disappointed, but this is also a great joy for the glory of the ancestors, as usual to go to the grave to worship the ancestors, but also to go to the Kuzhutan Guanyin Hall to incense and vows. For this reason, the uncles went home again, and even Zeng Jinhua, who was six or seven months pregnant, came back with a big belly. It is said that although there is no hope for the consummation, it is also a great joy, but while Li Jiaming breathes a sigh of relief in his heart, he is also vaguely panicked, because his little butterfly must have affected the fourth brother.

The fourth brother was not as glamorous as in his previous life, and his performance in high school in the future was a little worse, so he should not disappoint his father and little sister too much, which made Li Jiaming breathe a sigh of relief. But this also sounded the alarm for him, the butterfly's wings flapped a little big, academic innovation or discovery has a great deal of chance, if the fourth brother didn't have that kind of lucky accident, maybe it wouldn't be as dazzling as in the previous life.

The green smoke curled, and the believers knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva and prayed sincerely, and even Li Jiade and Li Jiaming, who only respected their ancestors and did not believe in Buddhism, reluctantly bowed to them.

After kneeling and worshipping, the two brothers stood in the patio to bask in the sun, watching the elders in the hall begging for signs and unsignings, and their faces were full of waves.

"Fourth brother, do you have a feeling?"

"What?"

Li Jiaming pretended to hesitate for a while, and whispered: "I think ah, you decided to skip the grade in the first place. Since you think that people should have a complete childhood, youth, and youth, they should not skip grades with utilitarian purposes.

If I'm not mistaken, if it weren't for the uncle who could make a lot of money, I'm afraid you would have taken the college entrance examination this year, right?"

"Hmm".

One of the advantages of talking to someone who is too smart is that as soon as you give him a head start, he will involuntarily think down, and the more he thinks about it, the more complicated it becomes. The fourth brother is a paranoid person, Li Jiaming knows this very well in his heart, if the seed planted in his heart is useless, then everything can only be said to be providential. God only gave so much to the Li family, and with wealth and glory, there can be no more glory.

Worshipping the Buddha is different from worshiping the Bodhisattva, no burning paper, no firecrackers, and no loud noise, the adults' vows are finally over, but the two brothers are still there in a daze. After a while, the little sister and the full sister who followed the aunts to join in the fun, ran over, pulled the Li Jiaming brothers who were in a daze, and whispered: "Fourth brother, (fifth) brother, the eldest aunt called you over." ”

"Oh", although I don't believe in Buddhism, but the elders believe in it, and the Li Jiaming brothers will accompany them, and the two brothers who woke up hurriedly went to the Buddha statue.

Nourish qi and transfer the body. Although she works hard all day long, she can live a rich life, everything goes smoothly and her son is angry, and the aunt who used to be bitter and mean is still gray, but she is much more white and rich, and there is a faint trace of grace.

"Jiaming, this is what I asked your uncle to ask for in the provincial city of Fayuan Temple, you one, Jiade, and Sanhan are one person, and Guanyin Bodhisattva will bless you with peace and security. ”

Li Jiaming looked at the jade Guanyin in his aunt's hand and was stunned, jade is not a good jade, green and white jade is just jade; the carving is not very exquisite, and there is even a suspicion of roughness, but the uncle with inconvenient legs and feet, for the sake of a few Guanyin statues, actually went to Fayuan Temple? He had studied in the provincial capital in his previous life, and knew where Fayuan Temple was, it was an ancient temple in the deep mountains, and he had to walk fourteen or fifteen miles of mountain roads after getting off the highway.

"Thank you, Auntie!"

Li Jiaming, who was warm in his heart, bowed his head and asked his aunt to help him put it on, and carefully put it into the cotton sweater and put it against the flesh.
