Chapter 21 is often unsatisfactory

No matter how big a stone is thrown at the calm water, the splash will be a little bigger at most, and after a ripple, it will continue to be as calm as before.

Life in the mountain village is very peaceful, Li Jiaming's small stone is in the village, and the ripples stirred up have gradually calmed down, except that adults and children have begun to call him by his name, and there is a little more in the study, almost nothing has changed.

Of course, in the attic where Li Jiaming lives, there are occasional screams with crying sounds, which makes Aunt Cha Ju next door feel distressed. In just one day's work, when Jin Mei went to Li Jiaming's to hand in her homework and listen to tutoring, she went to other houses to save herself from hearing her daughter crying, and her eyes were always sour.

Mao Tong was also often beaten, and Mr. Wang's little bamboo tips beat his arms and calves to new blood stains and old blood, as if there was no good day. After finishing his homework every night, he ran to Li Jiaming, begging this cousin, who was no longer beaten at all, to help check it. And Li Jiaming, who doesn't sit in the same room with the full sisters, will hide the junior high school textbooks he took from the eldest sister at this time, where he can't see them.

Mao Tong is a big mouth, if he sees it, he will go everywhere to promote himself and raise the expectations of his family. The kind of monster of the fourth brother, that is the demon spirit in his bones, and it is better for a mortal like himself to hide a little clumsy, so that everyone's expectations for themselves will be higher and higher in the future. If you want to say that in a few years, Li Jiaming will not have any psychological pressure to be admitted to a good university, but if he wants to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University like his fourth brother, it is tantamount to a fool's dream!

"Jiaming, why don't you think I found out?"

Li Jiaming threw the homework book that found two mistakes back to Mao Tong and scolded: "Concentrate, when did you seriously do your homework and check it carefully?"

"I'm not serious yet? I used to be all forks, but now there are only two of them!"

"That's not enough, it's not serious enough!"

After Mao Yan corrected the wrong place, he began to talk nonsense again: "If you want me to say, Teacher Wang is too strict, what is the difference between two hundred points and two ninety points in the junior high school entrance examination in the future?

This is true at first glance, but the mistake is to understand the wrong teacher's good intentions. If you make more than one mistake in your homework, you will be beaten, not to get a full score in the exam, but to let everyone develop the habit of doing things seriously and carefully.

"No matter how careful you are, what's the use of being a fart? If you can't get into a small secondary school or university, what's the use of being serious and careful?"

This may not sound like much of a mistake, but if you develop a serious and careful habit, even if you can't get into school, you will benefit a lot in life.

"Hey, hey, you have to get a ruler to measure the potato vines?" Hey, the chestnuts on the other side of Shijiqu are ripe, can we go tomorrow?"

Li Jiaming looked at the smirking Mao Tong with pity, this guy perfectly interprets what it means to 'rotten wood cannot be carved'. But he didn't say this, but let the fourth brother, who had been standing on the wooden crane outside for a while, say it.

"Rotten wood cannot be carved!"

A light reprimand, Li Jiaming, who was about to promise to go chestnut hunting tomorrow, turned around, there was no one behind, and hurriedly looked at the wooden hanging tower outside the window, and hurriedly got up and said: "Fourth brother (Brother Jiade)"

"Well, you can go back. ”

"Oh", Mao Yan immediately picked up his homework book and slipped away, this brother Jia De is a weirdo, and he feels uncomfortable standing in front of him. Li Jiaming also hurriedly took a chair that no one had sat on and replaced the hot chair that Mao Yan had just sat on, this fourth brother has a slight cleanliness habit. God knows how a child in the countryside could be infected with such a delicate disease?

Seeing that his cousin was so careful, the fourth brother smiled, "I'm not so expensive, but I've developed the habit of keeping things tidy." Jiaming, habits are very important, and if you develop the habit of being careful and tidy, you will not make unnecessary mistakes during the exam. ”

So that's the case, Li Jiaming laughed twice, ran downstairs and poured a cup of warm tea, and took out a few sugars from the jar at the bedside. The embarrassment last time finally passed, and the aunt no longer stopped the fourth brother from coming to tutor him, and he also fully saw the bearing of the fourth brother of this monster, and finally regarded this fourth brother as a brother and not just a monster.

The fourth brother took the teacup and put it on the square table, holding a 'snow pine' candy in his hand, and looked at it carefully. This kind of candy used to be sold for ten grains a dime at the entrance of the village elementary school, and five grains for a dime in the fifth grade. When he came back from the competition in the county in the third grade, Mr. Zhang awarded him ten grains and gave them to the eldest sister she didn't want, so he and the third brother bit one in half, and the two of them ate for more than a week.

Peeling off a long-lost 'snow pine' candy, the fourth brother took out a clean blue handkerchief and wiped the pencil sharpener on the table, split the beige sugar in two, handed half to Li Jiaming, and ate the other half himself.

"Put away the rest, Sister Man, Sister Wen, they can't just rely on fighting, they also need to be rewarded. ”

"Oh", Li Jiaming chewed the sugar in his mouth, a little inexplicable, and when he got up to put the candy, he saw the little sister who was doing arithmetic problems in another room, and suddenly felt sour in his heart.

In the past, adults from other families saw a pitiful little sister playing alone, and occasionally gave her a candy to eat. The little sister will keep the candy like a baby, and when she gets home, she will eat half of it alone, but her sugar is stained with saliva, and the fourth brother's sugar is cut with a knife.

looked at the candy in his hand, and then looked at the little sister under the light, Li Jiaming was still ruthless, and put the candy given by his grandmother back into the small jar. The fourth brother is right, since he teaches the little sister as a student, he must be rewarded and punished clearly. He would rather his little sister be afraid of him, and let her jump out of this damn countryside!

"This is what I asked Teacher Jiang to get, the past three years of primary school mathematics competition papers, you do it first, and I will come over tomorrow afternoon." ”

The fourth brother, who can eat candy and miss, put a few test papers in his hand in front of Li Jiaming, and put a few books from the second year of junior high school.

"You have finished the mathematics and Chinese in the first year of junior high school, and this is the textbook of the second year of junior high school. I've marked out all the key points, and if I don't understand them, I'll ask you when I come back next Friday. Don't worry about English, my speaking is not accurate, and I will still find a teacher with pronunciation standards to learn in the future. It's not early, I'll go back first. ”

"Oh"

The fourth brother didn't go to the wooden hanging building this time, picked up the small paper bag he had just put on the table, went out from the door next to him, and stood behind Manmei, Xiaomei, and Jin Mei and watched for a while. The three little dots are really hard-working, and they don't even know that there is a person standing next to them, and they write and draw with their little heads.

The fourth brother smiled with satisfaction, opened the small paper bag in his hand, which contained dozens of fried peanuts, gently placed them in the center of the small table in front of the three of them, touched the little heads of the three of them one by one, and encouraged: "Study hard, as long as you have perseverance and perseverance, you will definitely be able to be admitted to university in the future." Remember, hard work, the sky will not be negative!"

If Li Jiaming is now the strict teacher they fear, then the fourth brother who tutored him is a god, a bodhisattva who is offered in the temple!

"Hey", the three little ones who were encouraged by the Bodhisattva responded, showed a sweet smile to the fourth brother, and just wanted to reach out to get the fragrant fried peanuts, but suddenly saw Li Jiaming behind the fourth brother, and the three clean little hands immediately retracted, and immediately lowered their heads and continued to do arithmetic problems.

The fourth brother, who had a calm temperament like an adult, smiled, was sent downstairs by Li Jiaming, and went home by himself. Li Jiaming watched the fourth brother in the moonlight walk away, turned around with a smile and poured three cups of warm tea in the hall and went upstairs.

After checking the three small math homework, and dictating the pinyin and new words taught today, Li Jiaming divided the dozens of fried peanuts into three and instructed: "After eating and rinsing, we will have a holiday tomorrow and continue the day after tomorrow." ”

"Yes", under the deterrence of the small bamboo shoots, the three small points have formed a conditioned reflex.

When Li Jiaming closed the door between the two rooms, he could clearly hear the whispered cheers, followed by the sound of rats biting peanuts and drinking water. And he sat at the small square table and waited for a long time, only waiting for the footsteps downstairs, and did not wait for the little sister to send him peanuts, maybe the little sister from before would not come back, only one Li Wenqin who was in awe of him remained!

With a long sigh, Li Jiaming walked to the hanging tower, looking at the moonlight like water in his eyes, and his mind was difficult to calm down for a while. He knew that this was for the good of his little sister, but he regretted the intimacy that he might lose forever.

Unsatisfactory things are often eight or nine, and they can be the same as others.

Perhaps, like the Indian poet, you have to see trouble as a part of your life to express your rhythm, so that you can deal with it with an open-minded and calm mind.
