Although he was the first in the township and the only one with a perfect score, as soon as he returned to school, Li Jiaming asked Mr. Wang to draw two small bamboo shoots in the office. If nothing else, this kid is really too annoying, he is a sensible guy at home and at school, why does he eat Hesse nonsense on formal occasions, like a starving ghost reincarnated?

"Say, what's wrong?"

Li Jiaming can deliberately lose face in front of Principal Li, other teachers, and classmates, but he doesn't dare to play with his heart in front of his teacher, and stands straight in front of his desk.

"I shouldn't have deliberately played dumb. ”

"Why?"

The reason given to the fourth brother before was used again by Li Jiaming, but it was more tactful.

"Teacher, I'm not a genius, most of the types of today's test questions were taught by my fourth brother. ”

Teacher Wang frowned, "What else?"

Paper can't contain the fire, and you can still pretend to be a genius for two or three years with your mind, and you will be exposed when you reach the national competition in high school. Li Jiaming, who knew the pros and cons well, gritted his teeth and simply told the truth: "Teacher, I got a full score today, and you can see how happy my second and third sisters are, right? I asked my fourth brother if he wants to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and he must at least be among the top three in the city. I'm not a genius like my fourth brother, it's okay to get into a good university with my own efforts, but it's impossible to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University. I think it's better not to have high expectations from my father and family now than to disappoint my father and family in the future. ”

Who is this a fifth-grader? This is clearly a demon!

Teacher Wang, who was standing in his old age, looked at Li Jiaming dumbfounded, he had thought of countless possibilities, but he never thought that a man who was not yet thirteen years old would actually think like an adult, and he could think of a few years later. After being silent for a while, Mr. Wang had to admit that Li Jiaming was reasonable, and said with mixed tastes: "Jiaming, why are you so precocious?"

Teacher Wang is not a monster with an IQ higher than EQ like the fourth brother, nor is he a simple-minded eldest sister, Li Jiaming was speechless in the face of his question. It was Li Jiaming's silence that made Mr. Wang sigh and stop asking, attributing all this to 'the children of poor families are in charge early'.

Children from poor families are precocious, they are not born, they are all forced out by poverty! A man like Li Jiaming, who has lost his mother since he was a child, and the father and son (daughter) depend on each other for their lives, and the feelings between them are incomprehensible to ordinary people.

"It's almost time to get out of school, let's go"

"Yes", Li Jiaming bowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the office, and bumped into Mr. Zhang, the only official teacher in the school.

"Jiaming, how did you do in the exam?"

"Hey, hey, first place. ”

Hearing Li Jiaming's smirk, Teacher Wang, who was still in a heavy mood just now, couldn't help but smile, picked up the award certificate on the table and raised it at Teacher Zhang. Hey, the focus of scheming is the focus of scheming, anyway, this little guy is a filial son, even if he becomes bad in the future, it won't be bad.

Tomorrow, let Mr. Wang send it to you in front of the whole school. Wang Chenglin, Principal Wang, you have to reward him extra, you can't save this money!"

The happy Teacher Zhang praised and joked with Teacher Wang, and hurriedly asked Li Jiaming to go home. In winter, it gets dark fast, and you can't let a group of children walk at night, but there are wild boars in the mountains.

Coming out of the humble teacher's office, Li Jiaming also trotted to the school gate, and took his small team to his grandmother's house to report the good news, and after being praised by his grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and aunt, he hurried home, and his schoolbag contained a bag of eggs and a bag of candy.

When they got home, the younger sister and the younger sister knew that their brother had won the first place in the township, so they jumped and screamed around him excitedly; the second aunt, who was smiling from ear to ear, hurriedly went to catch chickens, saying that they wanted to kill them for reward; when everyone heard the good news, they didn't bother to have dinner and came over to praise and touch Li Jiaming's head, and the whole small village became lively. Li Jiaming, who kept smirking 'hey, hey, hey', made his cousin and aunt even happier, and everyone praised and laughed together.

This is so good, Li Jiaming enjoys this kind of compliment and touching his head. If he also became a monster like the fourth brother, these elders would be respectful at a distance, instead of being affectionate now. What Li Jiaming didn't expect was that the uncle, who was very scheming and unbearable in his eyes, actually changed into New Year's clothes, took the initiative to come to the second aunt's house, and stopped the second aunt who was trying to ask his uncle to kill chickens.

"Shimei, Jiaming has taken the first place in the township, and I want to go to incense Ye Ye (Dad), Mom (Mom), Uncle, and Auntie, and I will kill this chicken. ”

"Thank you uncle, the family will go to the incense with the uncle", the second aunt who turned her face with the uncle's family some time ago was overjoyed, and hurriedly handed the chicken and kitchen knife to the uncle, and lifted the offerings, firecrackers, and incense candles that had just been put into the basket and handed them over, but they were also polite and no longer like a family.

People in the mountains respect their ancestors, believe in ghosts and gods, and when there is a happy event in the family, they must kill a chicken to provide blood food and incense to the ancestors. The second uncle, father, and fourth uncle are not at home, if the eldest uncle doesn't come, the second aunt can only invite the elders in the big house to take Li Jiaming to incense, which will make people laugh.

Li Jiaming's father is a step-by-step, inherited the step-parents' family business, then we must pay attention to the number of etiquette, usually when he is at home, he has to give incense to his stepparents first, before he can go to his biological parents to incense. The uncle took the big rooster and kitchen knife and took the nephew and went to his house first. As soon as he approached the shrine where his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and mother's spiritual positions were placed, Li Jiaming's face became solemn, and he followed the equally solemn uncle to place offerings, light incense and candles, kill chickens, and offer incense.

"Jiaming, say a few words to the third uncle, the third aunt, and your mother, and let them bless you. ”

"Oh"

My father-in-law disappeared decades ago, and I don't even remember my father, but my mother-in-law and mother often see it in their dreams, but their faces have been blurred. Looking at the spirit card on the shrine and the black-and-white photo of his mother beginning to turn yellow, Li Jiaming felt that his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and mother were all looking at him lovingly, and they all had a relieved smile on their faces.

There is a thing in the world called blood connection, Li Jiaming seemed to see the loving smiles of his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and mother, tears slowly oozed from his eyes, kneeling on the cold ground and kowtowing in prayer.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, I am Jiaming, and I won the first place in the township mathematics competition today. In the future, I will be angry, I will definitely be admitted to university, and I will definitely take my sister to be admitted to university too!

Father-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you must bless your sister in the spirit of heaven, bless her good health, bless Ye Ye also good health, bless our family well, and our wives are peaceful. ”

Li Jiaming, who was kneeling on the ground, was in tears, muttering a prayer to his parents-in-law and mother, only asking for his father and little sister to be safe and happy for a lifetime. People, only when they lose can they know how to cherish it, and the luck that they have regained has made Li Jiaming have nothing to ask for, I only wish that his father and little sister can be safe and happy.

followed the uncle to incense his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and mother, and Li Jiaming followed the uncle to incense his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After waiting for the incense, the second aunt came over to invite the uncle to eat again, and the kitchen that was still lively just now was left with only the two little guys, Manmei and Xiaomei, who were looking at the food on the table and swallowing saliva.

The uncle, the aunt and the second aunt turned their faces, but today they still did not refuse, the husband and wife were wearing the clothes they wore for the New Year, and came to the small kitchen to eat. The three adults ate quietly, the two little ones ate with their mouths full of oil and smiled, Li Jiaming watched the two sisters eat so happily, and also smiled contentedly while eating.

After eating dinner quietly and depressed, the uncle and aunt got up to say goodbye, Li Jiaming washed the dishes and chopsticks and cleaned up as usual, the second aunt sat in the kitchen under the light to pluck chicken feathers, and the two little ones squatted next to them to help.

After Li Jiaming finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned up the stove, burned the fire in the stove, and laboriously filled a large bathtub in the second aunt's room with hot water, the second aunt also cleaned up the chickens, and the two of them played dirty and went to take a bath with clothes unconsciously.

Listening to the sound of the two little little ones playing happily in the room, the second aunt showed a satisfied smile on her face, and whispered in embarrassment while chopping the chicken into pieces: "Jiaming, Aunt Hongying asked me to ask you, can you take her family to study together? If it affects your study, I will refuse her." ”

The marriages in the mountains are all in the neighboring villages, and there are few people who look for other townships like the fourth uncle, and Aunt Hongying and the second aunt are from the neighboring villages. She opened her mouth, and the second aunt couldn't refuse.

Li Jiaming smiled and whispered: "It's okay, don't listen to the aunt's nonsense, just tutor your homework, how much time can you spend?" Second aunt, I still wish that the girls and girls in our house would come to study with me. I heard Ye Ye say that they were all brought up by the third father-in-law and the three mothers-in-law in the past, if the third father-in-law is still alive, wouldn't everyone still be a family?

"Won't it really affect your studies?"

The second aunt stopped what she was doing, looked at the little nephew who made her happy, and whispered solemnly: "Jiaming, don't blame your aunt for being stingy, if it delays your own study, your aunt won't even let you teach your sister." ”

Hey, the tragedy three years ago has made the second aunt obsessed, and she would rather sacrifice her unsure nephew, even if it is her own daughter, to keep the most promising son who is admitted to college. Li Jiaming sighed and assured the serious second aunt: "Second aunt, don't worry, if it really affects me, I will let them study on their own, and I promise that their grades will not drop!"

Li Jiaming's performance in the past two or three months has been really good, although he still smirks silly from time to time, but in the eyes of the second aunt, he is already a very sensible man.

Now that she has been assured by Li Jiaming, the second aunt is also relieved, but she still whispered: "Jiaming, although the eldest aunt is a little selfish, some words are still not wrong, no matter what, it can't affect your own learning, you know?"

"Yes!"
