People in the mountains have an obsession that there must be a man who can read at home, even if there is one in the family or even in the village. There is an element of the awe culture of the mountain people, and more importantly, they are at the bottom of the society, and they need a scholar with a head and a face to support them.

The people in the mountains are miserable, and the per capita yield of a few acres of land on the plains is only a few percent here; the yield per mu of fields on the plains is nearly 1,000 catties, but here it is only seven or eight hundred catties. For these seven or eight hundred catties of grain, it is necessary to pay 300 catties of public grain and 200 catties of 'three retainings and five overall plans' (three retention: the provident fund, public welfare fund, and collective management fees collected by the village-level organizations; and the five co-ordination: the expenses collected by the township-level government for family planning, preferential care, militia training, rural road construction, and private education. The remaining two or three hundred catties are their own, and if the seeds and fertilizers are removed, the mountain people will be busy all year round.

At the end of the year, the township and the village urged to retain and co-ordinate the funds, and did everything they could, and if they didn't pay it, it would be light for a few days, and in some places they even directly used violence to collect it. There is also family planning, cadres in these years will not reason with you, as long as you are pregnant in violation of the regulations, you will directly induce labor and sterilize if you are caught, and it is even more common to demolish houses and drive pigs.

Three years ago, when the second aunt was pregnant with her fifth child, she was caught by the township cadres and sent directly to the township health center to induce labor. The red-eyed second uncle immediately ran to the countryside, picked up a stick and broke the head of the family planning cadre, and was imprisoned in the police station for 19 days, and later the second aunt's family scraped together 5,000 yuan to redeem it. In the past three years, the second uncle has been paying off the money he earns from working in the county, in addition to providing for his three daughters to study.

The people in the mountains do not know that these are political tasks that are pressed down from level to level, and even if there is an official in the family, they must be carried out in accordance with national and local policies. As long as you can read, you can become an official, and as long as you become an official, you will no longer be bullied!

Li Jiaming hadn't thought about these things carefully before, but when he began to think about them seriously, he realized why the second uncle, the fourth uncle and the eldest uncle all had contradictions, but the four cousins were never ambiguous when they needed to borrow tuition fees to study. Even the second aunt who has to stumble with the eldest aunt for the first two days will always stay verbally when she says that she will not borrow money, and she has never really not borrowed.

pulled away and returned to Huangniping, where Li Jiaming lived.

In the past, although his grades were good and he could bring a certificate home every semester, Li Jiaming, who fished and picked birds all day long, suddenly disappeared from a group of children, and hid upstairs to read books every day in addition to doing housework.

"It's terrible, it's hard to be clear in the future!"

Sometimes the adults watched Li Jiaming come out of the house and called the full sister and the little sister back to drink porridge, and they would privately say that this girl would have a future in the future. The eldest sister also felt that the little cousin who used to have no skin was beginning to look a little like the fourth cousin, how to look like her, she couldn't tell it, but she felt more and more like it. The fourth brother has a cold temperament, even if he meets his uncle, he smiles and laughs, while the little cousin is like the fourth uncle, he laughs when he sees people and greets people when he sees them, but the two of them are elephants, indescribable elephants.

Li Jiaming casually handed the two completed test papers to the eldest sister, calmly picked up the tea bowl on the small square table and took a sip of cold tea, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, you have a standard answer to this paper, right?"

These are two midterm exam papers for the second semester of the fifth grade with the answers smeared, most of the questions are in the eldest sister's hands, but she is not sure about the last two math questions;

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Jiade!"

The eldest sister with the test paper ran all the way, evaded the eldest aunt's obstruction, ran to the fourth brother's room and panted and said, "Jiade, look at Ming Yan's two papers." ”

When the aunt who had just run to the door heard this, she unconsciously stopped. That little nephew's heart was too hard, and she didn't say a word when she was beaten so hard, which already made her a little scared. If that kind of guy doesn't have a chance in the future, it's okay, if he has a future interest, those who are kind may not repay the favor, but there will definitely be grievances and grievances!

"Huh?"

The fourth brother who reads the book has always been unconcerned, let alone paying attention to whether there is anyone inside or outside the room, the eldest sister's test paper was stuffed under his nose, he just raised his head unhappily, and saw that it was the eldest sister who was sweating profusely, and he lowered his head to look at the paper after a moment's stunned.

The eldest sister was not sure of the math question, the fourth brother glanced at it and knew the answer, put it next to him after reading it, picked up the Chinese test paper again, and said calmly: "Full score in mathematics." ”

"Huh?"

The fourth brother in front of him still glanced at the topic, but the composition written by Li Jiaming moved him.

"The Person Who Touched Me the Most", Li Jiaming used 500 words to concisely describe the scenes when he woke up: the little sister's ecstasy, unkempt yellow hair, dirty little face, black mud between the nails, patched rags, warm egg custard, shedding toothbrush, .......

I used a lame lie to trick my sister into eating half of the custard, and when I looked at her happy little face, I suddenly felt ashamed.

The incompetence of her father and brother will make such a well-behaved little girl, wearing the most worn and dirtiest clothes in the village, with the dirtiest face, dirtiest hands, and the least courage, and she will feel extremely happy when she can eat half a bowl of egg custard!

Talented!

The fourth brother praised silently, raised his head to look at the eldest sister's eyes, and said seriously: "Eldest sister, Jiaming is a genius! ”

Talented?

The eldest sister was stunned by the fourth brother's words, and she stayed for a while before she said stupidly: "Jiade, you explain that you are a genius?"

The fourth brother has always been responsive to the eldest sister, and nodded again and again to explain: "Well, half a month to study all the courses of the fifth grade by himself, it proves that he is very hard working and has a very high IQ, that is, he is far smarter than ordinary primary school students." He can write touching essays, which proves that he is really sensible and will not be naughty in the future. ”

The latter words, the eldest sister didn't hear clearly, she only knew that she had grown up, and she could also be said to be a little cousin who brought up with one hand, and was said to be a genius by the fourth cousin of the genius!

"Really?"

"Really!"

The eldest sister clapped her hands and laughed, picked up the two test papers and ran, when she ran to the sun-dried valley in front of Li Jiaming's house, she suddenly squatted on the ground and cried, so panicked that he jumped out of the room and said eagerly: "Eldest sister, what's wrong? Eldest sister, what's wrong with you?"

The sudden crying also alarmed the adults at home, and they ran out to see what was going on, only to see Li Jiaming's sister and brother squatting under the scorching sun, one crying and the other anxious.

"Big sister, what's wrong?"

Hearing the second aunt's eager voice, the eldest sister raised her head, burst into tears and smiled, smiling so brightly and proudly.

"Mom, Ming Yan is a genius! Jiade said, Ming Yan is really a genius!"

Looking at the eldest sister with a bright smile, the anxious Li Jiaming suddenly burst into tears, he didn't expect the eldest sister to be so proud of herself, she could be so proud that she cried with joy.
